Chapter 7 Why are you here

The weather is fine, the motorcycle is speeding on the mountain road, the green hills are faint on the left, the sparkling light is on the right, and the wind is blowing, which is very pleasant.

Finally, the shame of bicycles has been refreshed, and Chen Youran is also very satisfied with the status quo.

It is Bali Road from Wuzhen to Qingshanzhai.Because the mountain roads are rugged and have steep slopes, it often takes nearly an hour to walk, but it only takes 10 minutes to ride a bicycle.The two obviously set out far away, but they caught up with other children in Qingshan Village who were studying in Wuzhen Middle School on the way.

When Chen Youran galloped past them with Lan Shan, there was quite a bit of exclamation.

Walking to the place where we met last time, Chen Youran suddenly remembered, "Is your azalea tea ready to dry?"

"Well, I'll take it back for you later." Lan Shan said, "I also picked honeysuckle and dried it. This one is more fragrant, so I'll take some for you too."

Chen Youran nodded and suddenly laughed.She felt that Lan Shan knew how to enjoy life much better than herself.Although her family background is like that, she is trying her best to make her life more quality, making all kinds of differences in the ordinary, and she is so particular that she doesn't look like a rural person.

But she likes this attitude towards life. Compared with her muddleheadedness, Lan Shan obviously understands what she wants better.

It didn't take long to arrive at Qingshanzhai, and Chen Youran parked the car on the small dam outside.There are steps to go further, it is not convenient to ride a bicycle.When Lan Shan got out of the car, she opened the trunk and took out the mille-soled cloth shoes that had been kept inside. Just as she was about to hand it over, she heard the other party say, "Would you like to sit at home?"

Chen Youran suddenly remembered the result of the last "sit and sit" and couldn't help being very moved.

No one was at Lan Shan's house as usual, Chen Youran watched Lan Shan take out a key from under the sundries in the next window to open the door in front of her eyes, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid that I will secretly come to open the door by myself next time?" ah?"

Hearing this, Lan Shan, who was putting the key back to its original place, turned her head and glanced at her.She didn't speak, but Chen Youran inexplicably understood what she meant: this house is completely bare, and there is probably nothing worthwhile for someone to sneak in and pick the lock.

Chen Youran couldn't help scratching her head, she seemed to have said something wrong again.

It's strange to say that she is older than the other party, she should have more knowledge, and her qualifications are much higher than that in all aspects, but in front of Lan Shan, she often feels a kind of cramped, as if every gesture is wrong.

After entering the door, Lan Shan put her things away, and she was not in a hurry to find Chen Youran's shoes. Instead, she arranged for her to sit down, poured her a cup of hot water, and brought firewood in to make a fire.

The shavings are dried in the sun, they are the best kindling material, strike a match and light it, put it into the vacated stove, then carefully add the twigs, the fire will burn up quickly, and then fill in the large pieces of firewood, After a while, it became a raging trend.

Lan Shan took the iron pot and put it on the stove, and said to Chen Youran while adding water to it, "You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Thank you for sending me back, let's go after a meal."

Taking advantage of the time to boil the water, she went to the stove again. There was the sound of "Tuk Tuk Tuk" cutting vegetables, and she came back with two bowls after a while.One bowl was filled with sliced ​​glutinous rice cakes, and the other bowl was filled with half a bowl of sweet distiller's grains.

After the water is boiled, put the distiller's grains into the pot and boil them, then slice the glutinous rice cakes into thin slices, put them in the pot and boil until soft, then pour soup on them, and a bowl of rice glutinous rice cakes cooked with wine is ready.

"Do you want sugar?" Lan Shan put the bowl in front of Chen Youran, and brought a jar of white sugar from the table behind, "This sweet wine is just right for me, if you like it sweeter, you can drink it by yourself add sugar."

Chen Youran nodded, took a sip of the soup first, and then a sip of glutinous rice cakes.The taste of the sweet wine after boiling is very good. There is a slight acidity in the sweetness, which just neutralizes the greasy glutinous rice cake, and the taste is very good.

She just woke up with no appetite and was in a hurry to give it away. Naturally, Chen Youran didn't eat lunch. Now her belly is empty, and she feels comfortable with a bowl of glutinous rice cakes.

Chen Youran put down the bowl, and thought enviously, whether the life is good or not, in fact, sometimes it really doesn't have much to do with money.

Like Lan Shan's, most of the things are produced from their own land. It seems that there is nothing wrong with using these limited ingredients to make unlimited delicious food.

Compared with Lan Shan, Lin Xiuying's culinary skills can only be imported. Most people can make their own pickles, fermented rice, chopped peppers, fermented bean curd, fermented soybeans and other small dishes, and she can't even do it at all.The problem is that she doesn't seem to be aware of this. Chen Youran tried to learn how to cook when she was a child, but she accidentally burned her arm and was scolded by Lin Xiuying. After that, both children in the family were banned from entering the kitchen.

She thought about it for a while, and said to Lan Shan, "I can't eat this meal for free. How about I come pick you up when you return to school?"

"It's too much trouble for you, isn't it?" Lan Shan asked with lowered eyes.

"It's not troublesome at all!" Chen Youran said, "If it doesn't work, let me have a meal and pay for the fare."

Lan Shan couldn't help but looked up at her, and seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, she said, "There's nothing delicious at home..."

"You don't need to make special preparations. I'll eat whatever you eat." Chen Youran said, "Otherwise I'd be too embarrassed to come here again!"

That's what she said, but she was thinking in her heart that when she came, she could bring some food for Lan Shan to cook, but she couldn't really come to eat plain rice, could she?But Lan Shan probably won't agree to buy meat or something.So what to send, you have to think carefully.

Before leaving, Chen Youran was already looking forward to the next visit.

Being with Lan Shan gives me the feeling of letting go of myself. I don’t want to listen to or look at many things, so I can pretend that I don’t know anything and nothing happened.

After taking back her platform shoes, Chen Youran reluctantly left. On the way back, she stared at the shimmering river beside the road, and suddenly had an inspiration.There should be some seafood in this river, right?If you can get something that doesn't cost money, Lan Shan has no reason to refuse.

There are many mountains in the southwest, so the rivers are naturally not so rich.In a small ditch like this, which is only one or two meters wide, there will not be any big fish growing in it, which is better than nothing.At best, the children catch some when they go to the river to play in the water, and fry them for snacks when they go home.

Chen Youran parked the car on the side of the road, went down to the river beach to toss for a while, and had to give up.

However, she is a bit resilient, and she will never change what she believes in easily.After returning home, she thought about it, and asked the fish pond owner in the town, and brought back a fishing net.It is said to be a fishing net, but it is actually a long net bag, which is most suitable for putting in shallow rivers with mud.Chen Youran bought some fish food by the way, and went to try it the next day.

The result was similar to what others said. I didn't catch a few fish, most of which were the size of a thumb, but I got a lot of crayfish, mussels and snails in the river, and all of them weighed a few catties.

Now that she had harvested something, Chen Youran thought about it, she simply didn't go home, and put down the fishing net again, she went to Qingshan Village with a bucket of catch.

As a result, he didn't think carefully, and when he got here, he realized that General Tie was guarding the door again, and no one was at home.Chen Youran came here excitedly, unwilling to leave like this, she simply sat down on the steps at the door and waited for Lan Shan to come back.

While waiting, she was afraid that the fish and shrimp would die, so she looked around and saw a stone trough at the door, which was used for making glutinous rice cakes during the Chinese New Year.At this moment, the stone trough is clean and there is no water.Chen Youran found a large water tank without a lid under the eaves, scooped out clear water from it, and kept the fish and shrimp in the stone tank.

After tossing and tossing, Chen Youran had a sore back and a sore back, and sat down beside her, counting the seconds and waiting for someone.

Logically speaking, waiting should be difficult, especially when Chen Youran still went to a friend's house that he didn't know very well, and sat at the door waiting for someone to come back.But for some reason, she didn't feel any anxiety in her heart, but rather relaxed and comfortable, and even thought about Lan Shan's expression when she came back.

When the sunset was sinking from the sky, Lan Shan finally came back in the sunset.She was still wearing the clothes of the Miao family, but it should be an old one, which looked much simpler.With a pannier on his back and a cow in his hand, he couldn't help being slightly stunned when he saw Chen Youran.

Chen Youran stood up with a smile, and before she could say hello, she saw the person standing behind Lan Shan.It was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, his whole body was tanned and covered with a lot of mud, so he couldn't tell his face at all.Standing behind Lan Shan, he showed a little vigilance towards Chen Youran, frowning and asked, "Who are you, what are you doing at my house?"

In a trance, Chen Youran finally remembered a very serious problem that she seemed to have ignored all the time: Lan Shan doesn't live alone, she has her parents and family!

Even as thick-skinned as Chen Youran, he realized his abruptness at this moment.

No matter how good she is with Lan Shan, she shouldn't come to other people's homes without warning to disturb her. Besides, is their relationship good?Only met three times.

Fortunately, in the next moment, Lan Shan freed her from this embarrassment. Without turning her head, she replied, "Come and find me", and took off the pannier on her back and stuffed it into the boy's hand. Walking towards Chen Youran, he asked, "Why are you here?"

"Just... just pass by and take a look..." Chen Youran replied vaguely, seeing that after Lan Shan let go of the rope, the cow she was holding in her hand was already heading straight for the stone trough, so she hurriedly stopped her, "Wait a minute , the water inside is not drinkable!"

While talking, he ran over to stop him.Lan Shan walked behind her, saw the things in the stone trough, and frowned slightly, "Did you bring it?"

"Yeah..." Chen Youran said, "I didn't buy it, I caught it in the river on the way here."

The little black boy sneered from behind, apparently not believing what she said.Although it was the first time they met, he should be Lan Shan's younger brother, but Chen Youran still decided to hate him.
