green tree from forest

It's time for you to pack up and get ready to rest, stop talking, we're going home too. "

"Stinky boy! Go back quickly, don't feed the mosquitoes outside. Hang up."

Wen Bo squeezed in again, and we waved with Ms. Xu.

After hanging up the phone, I stood up first and reached out to him.Wen Bai touched the inside of my arm and stood up, pulled me into his arms with all his might, and asked in my ear, "When did it happen?"

I wrapped my arms around his waist and asked knowingly, "What do you mean?"

"When did you tell Aunt Xu?"

"It's very early."

Wen Bo let go of me in disbelief and asked, "How early."

I looked at his suspicious eyes, but didn't tell him: "You guess?" I withdrew my hand, pushed him away against his chest, turned around and couldn't help laughing.

Wen Bo asked all night, but I gritted my teeth and didn't tell him.

Because my dad left early, I was not a big-hearted child when I was a child, and I wanted to try to solve everything by myself first.I have had different feelings for Wen Bo since the first day of junior high school, self-repressed, self-digested, and I treasured it for six years before telling my mother.

I never felt that there was a problem with the timing of my disclosure of sexual orientation to Ms. Xu, whether it was too early or too late, I never thought about it.I just feel that my ability to resolve this problem has reached its limit and I need to seek support.

Because of today, Wen Bai fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed from getting ready in the morning to night.If I don't do shady things, I prefer the master bedroom without a layer of curtains, because the bright moonlight can shine in on a clear night.

Wen Bai fell asleep facing me, dreaming of something with a slight "Chuan" between his brows.I stretched out a finger to gently rub his brow, trying to dissolve the sadness in his dream.

"Fool," I looked at his sleeping face and whispered my love: "I liked you 800 years ago."

The day Quimber and I came home together was so nervous that he stuttered, which made my mother laugh.

"Aunt Xu, I... I and Cong Cong are back."

Ms. Xu burst out laughing: "Come in, why are you still blushing?"

I turned my head and looked, it really is!

Ms. Xu walked towards the kitchen and asked, "Does your dad know you're back?"

Out of Ms. Xu's sight, his stuttering healed immediately: "I know, he's not at home after going to work."

"Coke or Fanta?" Ms. Xu poked her head out and asked.

Wen Bo was nervous again: "Fen Fen Fanda!"

I turned his head and touched his cheek, "Are you nervous?"

Quince nodded.

Ms. Xu was one step ahead of me and said, "Don't be nervous, your Aunt Xu is not someone else." She held two soda cans in her hand and tapped them lightly on the table.

Wen Baili slammed down my hand, it was just the ear at first, and now his face is also starting to turn red.

"I knew that Congcong liked boys after your college entrance examination, and I didn't object at that time, after all, I can't spend my whole life with him."

I don't like to hear this, so I frowned and said, "Mom!"

"At that time, I was still worried. What if you don't like boys and he finds someone else and gets cheated. Now it's all right. I'm very relieved when you are together."

Ms. Xu's words contained a lot of information, and I wanted to flee back to the room, but Wen Bai held my hand tightly.

"But you have to find a time to talk to your dad. Although he has been abroad for so many years, he seems to be quite traditional."

"Don't worry, Aunt Xu, I will explain clearly to my dad."

"Okay," my mother patted her thigh, "It's hard to come back, let's go play, there are other drinks and fruits in the refrigerator, I'm in a hurry."

Back in my room, Wen Bai sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long breath.

I sat at the desk and laughed at him: "Great artist, why are you so nervous?"

"Come here, sit here." He patted his thigh.

Not far away is the study room, I rejected Wen Bai's action: "Be more serious, my mother is in the study room."

Wen Bo looked at me with a look of disgust and said: "What are you thinking, otherwise you sit here." He patted the seat next to him again.

"It's almost there."

As soon as my butt touched the quilt, Wen Bai's head leaned over. It was obviously taller than me, and it didn't feel aggrieved to rest on my shoulders.

I raised my shoulders lightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Bai clasped my fingers with mine, and his tone suddenly dropped: "It turns out that you liked me so early."

I cut in my heart, how early is this?In fact, much earlier than that! "I like you, are you unhappy?" I asked.

"That's not it!" He raised his head suddenly: "If I had known you liked me, I wouldn't have wasted so much time."

"What a waste of time?" I wondered.

"I thought you wouldn't like me, so I thought: Well, then I can only like girls, but when we are really together, I feel that I don't like me at all, but just being accompanied by her after being lost. Impressed."

"Well. Is there anything else?"

Wen Bai stretched out his other hand to wrap around the back of my hand, and moved his butt towards me. The two bodies were pressed together, and the body temperature was transmitted to each other through the thin spring clothes.

"Also! You and your roommate."

I turned to look at him and asked, "Me and my roommate?"

"The one with the pigtails."

I thought it was funny, and asked: "No, you are so jealous, what can Yu Wan and I have?"

"He talks so close to you! You still carry him!"

"Then your family is whispering with a loudspeaker? I carried him because he was drunk!"

"I don't care!" Wen Bai put his head up again: "Anyway, you are not allowed to talk so close next time! I have a hunch that he must not be straight."

These days, Wen Bo is either staying at home or going out to sketch. His hair has not been combed for a long time, and it has grown a lot. I glanced sideways, turned around and pressed his head into the socket of his neck.

"Fool, I have liked you since junior high school." I whispered in his ear.

I didn't expect the storm that those words would cause - Quince pinned me on the bed and kissed and kissed.

As a result, none of us had the nerve to eat at home at noon, but none of us forgot to bring a meal for Ms. Xu.

◎Remove express delivery◎

On the day of graduation, the sun was shining brightly in the open-air stadium. Even if Yu Wan prepared sunscreen for us in advance, it could not change the ending of us turning into monkey ass faces.

Speeches by school leaders, speeches by student representatives, outstanding graduates receiving awards...all these links tell that our college time is really coming to an end.

Haohao was one of the few students who joined the "Western Project". When the school leaders commended them, the three of us clapped wildly and applauded loudly.

When the series of procedures were over, I turned around and realized that Haohao, who was holding the commendation bouquet, had already burst into tears. Of course, the three of us did not feel better, but we all wiped away our tears silently.

The appearance of Ms. Xu was a surprise. The day before, she lied to me to sign the contract and had no time to come.When she and Quince came into view at the same time, I started to choke up.

"Baby, happy graduation!" Ms. Xu wore a light pink chiffon shirt and white skirt today, her hair was curled, and she smiled and handed me the bouquet.

Wen Bo bought a bunch of blue baby's breath and gave it to me through Ms. Xu's hand.

I took the flowers and couldn't restrain myself from crying loudly.In retrospect, these days are as fast as a shooting star across the sky at night, and the past is the past.

"Don't cry," Wen Bai wiped away my tears with his fingers, and handed the phone to my mother: "Aunt Xu, please take a photo for us."

My mother also said: "Wipe your tears quickly, your nose is red from crying."

After taking the two-person photo with Wen Bai, the three of us asked Yu Wan to take a group photo.I took a look at it later, and I didn’t look good in any of the photos anyway. My cheeks were black and red, which was ugly no matter how I looked.The most terrible thing is that my mother also developed these photos, put them in a photo frame and placed them in the living room.

During the summer vacation, I took a month off and went to school in mid-July.The tutor is very nice and took me into the postgraduate status in advance.

The distance between Xia Chuan and Yan Chuan is not far away, but the main reason why Wen Bai and I can't see each other often is that we both don't have time, and we finally fell asleep after taking a rest, so we didn't have the energy to bump around on the transportation.

After all, I had to come for a two-day vacation. I didn't tell Wen Bai in advance, and I was going to give him a surprise.

During the holidays, the high-speed rail has a huge traffic flow of people. There is a lot of noise on the train, whine sounds are playing, and children are crying.

After finally getting out of the car, I was wrapped in a hot and humid environment before I could take a breath of fresh air.

Xiachuan has been raining continuously these days, although it is wet everywhere, it is much cooler.The distance from Yanchuan high-speed railway station to the community, I can already take a bath with the sweat on my body.

When I opened the door sweating and yelled surprise but no one answered, the empty living room gave me the answer - Quince was not at home.

In this way, I walked in with my shoulders slumped, threw off my schoolbag and threw myself on the sofa. In less than two seconds, I got up with a strong will and turned on the air conditioner.When the cold air takes over every corner of this house, I am finally comfortable.

Wen Bo didn't know what time he would be home, and my idea of ​​surprising him hadn't come to an end, so I didn't take the initiative to ask, and planned to sleep on the sofa first.Since I got up early in the morning and ran without rest along the way, I fell asleep on the sofa and fell asleep quickly. I was awakened by the cold in a daze halfway, got up, put on the sun protection clothing, shrank my legs and went back to sleep.

It wasn't until noon, when the sound of the key unlocking the lock, that I gradually became conscious.

"Why didn't you turn off the air conditioner when you went out?"

"Okay?" This was Wen Bo's voice.

"Hey, let me go, there is someone in your family, Wen Bo! It turns out that it is Lin Cong, it frightened me."

The sound of Wen Bo closing the door suddenly became louder, with a "bang".

I heard someone calling my name, and I woke up instantly. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Sun Yinan.

"Old Sun, long time no see." I sat up from the sofa and scratched my messy hair.

Sun Yinan put the things in his hands on the table, and unbuttoned his shirt roughly, "It's been almost a month. Come, let's chat while eating."

Wen Bai put the same two bags of things as Sun Yinan on the table, took my schoolbag and coat to the single sofa, and then handed me a glass of Coke: "Why don't you say anything,"

I put my hand over my mouth and whispered, "Surprise."

Wen Bai smiled as he opened the plastic bag, took out a hamburger from the bag and put it in my hand: "You're starving, eat quickly."

I just found out that these three big bags are KFC.

In fact, I'm fine, but Sun Yinan looked starving, sitting on the single sofa and eating so much that he couldn't take time to pay attention to our little movements.

"Why did you buy so many KFCs today?" I glanced at the other two bags and asked, "I bought so many family buckets, can you two finish them all?"

Sun Yinan just swallowed the hamburger, and said in a high-spirited tone, "Let Wen Bo tell you what great things the two of us have accomplished today!"

I heard the words and turned to look at the people next to me, eyes full of doubts.

"It's nothing, just sell a painting."

My pupils trembled, and I asked, "You sell paintings? When did you start selling paintings?"

"It's not that he offered to sell it," Sun Yinan quickly replied, "Isn't my family running a gallery? Recently, two spaces have been vacated. I just thought of Wen Bai's one and mine. It's interesting to have different styles. It turned out a few days ago Someone came to see our paintings, at the same time!"

I vaguely felt that their paintings must have sold for a lot of money, so I asked cautiously, "How much did you sell for?"

Sun Yinan stretched out five fingers and smiled at me inscrutablely.

"five hundred?"

Quimber choked on the Coke.

"Five thousand?"

Sun Yinan put on an expression of hating iron but not steel: "Nearly [-]! This is already the cheapest painting in my house!"

I took a hard bite of the double-layered cod castle, "Damn it!"

"Brother Cong, if you have nothing to do, let him treat you to dinner, and it's considered a profit."

Two months later, I received a SF express at school that required my signature.

When I saw the sender Wen Bai written on it, I was relieved after making sure it wasn't some unknown courier, but was quickly rushed to the back of my mind by a series of things.

Two or three days later, at dinner time, Wen Bai called with a cautious tone: "Cong Cong, have you received a SF Express recently?"

I just finished writing the opening report, and my head is still full of other people's papers and data. I didn't think about the courier for a while: "What courier? Who sent me the courier?"

"I sent you a SF Express."

I stopped picking up food, and after searching in my mind carefully, I finally remembered: "Oh, there is such a courier, I was busy and forgot to unpack it. What delicious food did you buy me again?" gone?"

"Huh," Wen Bai suddenly became arrogant: "Call me tonight!" He hung up before I could reply.

After dinner, I went back to the dormitory with the sunset, and at a glance I saw the express box half-suspended by other things on the table.

My roommate went on a business trip with my tutor these days, and I was the only one left in the dormitory. The fan was working above my head, making creaking noises.

The small things were wrapped in a mysterious way. I took down a courier box and a black paper bag without any marks on it. Inside the bag was a small box filled with a bunch of small paper strips for cushioning.

My heart skipped a beat, and my suspicions about the box surfaced.After taking a deep breath, I played with the small box with one hand and called Wen Bai.

He should be busy, the phone is not connected.I lifted the opaque thing over my head and looked at its shell in the light, imagining what the ring would look like.

Will it be a diamond ring?Or is it gold holding an emerald?According to Wen Bai's current financial resources, it is definitely not a pigeon's egg.

I kicked and pushed the pulleys of the chair, and swam around in the small dormitory without waiting for Wen Bai's call back, and finally I couldn't bear the curiosity and opened the last layer of cover.

It's not as dazzling as I imagined. It's a very plain silver ring. W&L is engraved on the inside of the ring, but it doesn't feel like a silver product.

I sent Wen Bo a WeChat message, asking if he had the other one, and then tried to wear my own.Not too big, not too small, just the right size.I raised my hands and looked and looked, full of joy, and sat stupidly for a long time before getting up to wash.

After I shower, I step out while drying my hair, and the first thing I do is look at my phone.

After Wen Bo's call was not answered, he sent me a few WeChat messages, saying that the other ring was of course in his hand, and he matched my ring with a necklace.

It is really inconvenient to wear a ring to run projects with the instructor in the future, but it is much more convenient to have a necklace.

I didn't feel like blowing my hair anymore, so I threw the towel aside and picked up the phone to reply to him: Mr. Wen, please take care of me!

Boss Wen responded cooperatively with a cool little emoji wearing sunglasses.

After seeing Wen Bo's hand wearing the ring in the video, I felt like my heart was poured with honey, sweeter than ever before.The existence of this ring is like leaving my brand on him, and everyone is forbidden to make attempts on him in the future.

After a long time, I found a receipt in the drawer, and I realized that the ring was made by Quince himself.There is no special design, but he poured all his love into it.

Wen Bai's original words: "At first I wanted to make some patterns on it, but didn't they say 'Lessismore' at that time, so I will follow the trend."

Later the truth was revealed by Sun Yinan: "It was the busiest time for him. He ran to the studio every day just to make such a broken ring. I thought he had met the right girl."

That day, Sun Yinan, who originally came to my house to eat hot pot, ate hot pot with boiled lettuce all night.

The ring that I thought would accompany me to my old age was washed away by a flood in my second year of graduate school.I remember very clearly that the night before the flash flood hit, we were still discussing on the phone when to make up Christmas Eve and Christmas that were incomplete due to my absence.

◎Prepare Christmas gifts and wait for me to go back◎

As Christmas approaches, shops on both sides of the street unanimously display Christmas trees, Christmas hats and other decorations. Jingle Bells ring out in the streets and alleys of the city, creating a lively and festive atmosphere everywhere.

Of course, no matter how lively this foreign festival is, it cannot compare with our Spring Festival.

On December 20th, I followed my mentor to a small village in Yanchuan to do a project.This is a very remote village, surrounded by mountains on both sides, there is only one rugged mountain road to get here.For several years, children have to endure hardships in school, and adults have to endure hardships in making a living.In the end, a college student who went out from here brought hope to his hometown.

Because this small village is stuck at the junction of Yanchuan and Xiachuan, people from both sides were sent here.The task of clearing the road was completed last year, and this year our task is to plan the children's learning places.

There are no hotels or guesthouses around the village, so the eight or nine of us can only live in the villagers' homes.Considering that young children are rarely exposed to new things outside, we also brought two large boxes of snacks, ready to live in peace with them.

The college student who returned to Xihuai Village after graduation was named Yao Nan.When we were waiting for Yao Nan outside the village, we kept looking up at the stretch of [-] mountains.Although it is winter, the greenness of the mountain has not faded, but it is only covered with a layer of mist, which makes it look grayer.

After waiting for about ten minutes, a mud-stained van drove over from the other side of the road.

Yao Nan is a woman who is four or five years older than us, but because of traveling around the village these years, the years have left traces on her face early, and she looks much older than her real age.

Yao Nan's tone was neither humble nor overbearing: "Hello everyone, this time I will work hard for everyone." She carried two hand-drawn maps with a sincere smile on her face: "This is the most complete map of the village so far, but There are still some corners that have not been painted, please take a look first, and I will figure out the rest. The masters who came last year were only responsible for repairing the roads, and it was just in time for the New Year, and some geographical conditions in the village have not had time to figure out. "

In the car, the instructor buried his head in looking at the map, and we young people just looked at each other, tacitly thinking that the map is too crude.But the rudimentary is rudimentary, and this map can be seen that a lot of manpower has been spent.

Because the village has not been managed by the government, the family planning implemented outside has not been able to touch this paradise.The family we live in has three children, one brother and two younger sisters. The elder brother has reached the age of elementary school, and the two younger sisters are twins who look only four or five years old. They have been hiding behind the elder brother since they saw us.

Although my elder brother has reached the age of school, he has not been able to leave the village for a long time.One is because the road at the entrance of the village was repaired only last year, and the parents have not had time to plan their children's studies, and the other is the very real money problem.

In order to tighten the distance with the children, we sent the only woman on this trip—Sister Yan.There is no doubt that senior sister Yan is the daughter of Director Yan, but her academic career has not been smooth because of this. On the contrary, Director Yan is stricter with her than anyone else.

Senior Sister Yan found a pack of lollipops and a pack of potato chips from two large boxes of snacks, knelt down and greeted the three children with a smile: "Children, do you want to eat potato chips? This is tomato flavor, it's delicious." I still have lollipops, grape flavored! Can I give it to my sister?"

The older brother’s nickname is Shitou, and the two younger sisters are Tangtang and Qiuqiu, both of whom are cute with chubby cheeks.

Shi Shi looked at the potato chips with light in his eyes, but he dared not stretch out his hand. Senior Sister Yan simply stuffed the thing into his arms: "Try it, it's delicious."

Director Yan, Yao Nan and the two homeowners were discussing behind us. Shitou raised his face and looked past us at his parents.His parents turned their backs to him, Yao Nan was the first to notice his gaze.

Yao Nan blinked at Shitou, and asked Shitou, "My sister gave you delicious food, what do you want to say?"

Shi Shi Xuxu tightened his hand holding the potato chips, two little red clouds floated on his face, and said to Senior Sister Yan: "Thank you, sister!"

Senior Sister Yan smiled heartily, touched Shi Shi's little hedgehog-like head, and then opened the packaging bags of two lollipops, "Qiaoqiu, do you eat Tangtang?" Then she asked Tangtang: "Tangtang, do you eat Qiuqiu?" ?” The two little girls were amused.

"Has anyone from Yanchuan come?" the tutor asked.

Yao Nan replied: "It is said that the main person in charge is stuck abroad due to flight delays, and he will not arrive until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Are you Mr. Yan from Xiachuan?"

Director Yan nodded: "This time I mainly plan the location of several buildings, the most important ones are kindergartens and elementary schools. What is the situation of the 'library if possible' written on the materials?"

I glanced at the map and felt that building a kindergarten would be too much for the current situation.

Xihuai Village itself is not very big, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and we are required not to break ground on the villagers' farmland, so there is a small space for us to display.

Yao Nan herself also understands the problem: "In the past few years, a small number of people in the village have gone to work in the city, and the arable land is empty. I am still doing their ideological work, hoping that they can release the land they have. There are two families who are unwilling, and when they pass, they should be able to build a small library for their children."

"The terrain of Xihuai Village is relatively low. Once the water level of the Huaihe River rises, all the construction you have done will be in vain. More than half of the villagers in Donghuai Village have been relocated, so we should try our best to lean in their direction." Director Yan said to the point. , never beat around the bush.

Yao Nan smiled wryly and said, "Even if some people leave the village one after another over the years, it can't change the majority of people's minds. Generation after generation have lived here for more than a hundred years, especially the older generation, who refuse to move no matter what. I want to bring up the younger generation first, and then let them lead the relatives at home."

Director Yan nodded, his left hand in his pocket was about to move, Senior Brother Zhao Lei first approached Senior Sister Yan and whispered, "Director Yan has become addicted to smoking again."

The follow-up is: Yan Dao, who was standing under the tree and was about to light a cigarette, was caught by his daughter and all the crime tools were confiscated.

Relying on mountains and eating mountains, the buildings here not only use bricks, tiles and cement as building materials, but also a large part of them are made of wood.The house is consciously elevated to avoid flood hazards.The outside of the wood used for elevating is also covered with a layer of cement-like things, embedded with the hard shell of some kind of river or seafood.

Next to the wooden main house of the Shishi family, two brick huts were built later to store planting tools and household sundries for the family.

When we were eating in the evening, the three children had already mingled with us.Brother Zhao Lei approached the stone by virtue of his name, Tangtang, a snack, was hooked away by Senior Sister Yan with a lollipop, and I carried the ball with my mission.

Qiuqiu is the youngest child in the family, born a few minutes later than Tangtang.Both sisters are shy when they meet strangers, but once they get to know each other well, the older sister turns back to a lively and cheerful look, while Qiuqiu is introverted by nature and doesn't talk much.

To welcome us, Shitou's parents cooked a table of delicious dishes, including boiled beef, fried river mussels, braised pig's trotters and other delicious dishes.

I caught a river mussel, and realized that the thing embedded in the wall I saw outside the house in the afternoon turned out to be the shell of a river mussel.

Suddenly there was a shrimp in the bowl—it ​​was caught by Qiuqiu.She whispered, "Brother, eat."

My heart softened, I scratched the tip of her nose with my fingers and asked, "Can Qiuqiu peel shrimp?"

"meeting."

"But Qiuqiu must not peel the shrimp as fast as my brother. My brother peels the shrimp very quickly." I picked up a shrimp, "Do you want Qiuqiu to eat? My brother peeled it for Qiuqiu."

Qiuqiu put down his chopsticks, stretched out his hand to pick up a shrimp from the outermost edge of the plate, and said softly, "Qiaoqiu can do it by himself."

Well, self-reliance was learned at a young age. "Then let's peel it together."

The little girl nodded, and the two braids on her head swayed, she was really cute.

The village has been connected to water, electricity, and signal for some time, but electrical appliances such as televisions and computers are still rare items.Without entertainment facilities, the children would be too noisy during the day, so they would naturally go to bed early at night.It was only nine o'clock, and the three children had already fallen asleep.

In fact, not only the children, but also the lights of other houses gradually dimmed.This provides a good opportunity for the stars on the sky to show themselves.

Brother Zhao Lei and I moved a small stool to the courtyard to watch the stars in a daze. Senior sister Yan thought it was cold outside, so she turned off the light and set up a tripod by the window of the room to take pictures of the star trails.

The signal in the village is mediocre, sending and receiving messages is relatively slow, and you often have to wait for half a minute after clicking send before the spinning circle before the message disappears.

While I waited, I involuntarily fished the ring out of my neckline.The ring was hidden in the clothes, and it was covered with warmth, which made my fingers that were slightly stiff from the cold look more like metal.

I poked my head over my brother's achievement and said, "This one looks good."

The stone house is almost at the highest point in the village, and you can get beautiful photos from here.In the picture, the few remaining lights are scattered, either bright or dim, and the stars in the sky complement each other.

Zhao Lei: "I also think this picture is pretty, but there are quite a lot of clouds today, and the moon will be covered up after a while, which is a bit annoying."

I can't understand the second half of the sentence, maybe the lack of moonlight has affected the photography.

While talking, I finally received a message from Wen Bo, who said he had arrived home.

Brother Zhao Lei hung the camera around his neck and asked me, "Go back?"

"Brother, help me take the stool back, I'll make a phone call."

Brother Zhao nodded, and went back to the house with a small bench in one hand.

I rubbed my hands together and called Wen Bai, beeping twice, his voice came through the receiver: "Hello?"

"Have you had dinner yet?" I asked him.

"I brought McDonald's back and I'm eating." After he finished speaking, he took a bite of the crispy chicken leg.

"Did you get the photo I sent you?"

"I see, the kid is very cute, is he from the village?"

"Well, it's called Qiuqiu." I leaned against the fence: "When will you come back this time?"

Wen Bai groaned, and said plaintively, "You'll ask me when I'm leaving just now!"

I hummed softly and asked him: "Get ready for the Christmas presents when I go back. If I don't see something in the Christmas stocking when I go back, you will be miserable!"

"I'm not you," came the voice of Quince stirring the ice cubes, "I've prepared it a long time ago, I guarantee you like it! What about you? Have you prepared it for me?"

I was so guilty that I couldn't answer right away, and stammered, "Of course, of course I'm ready."

Now it was Wen Bo's turn to "hum", "If you don't put anything in my socks when you come back, you will be miserable!"

I said hey: "Don't worry, good things are waiting for you."

Director Yan informed us about the project of Xihuai Village very early on, and the material said that the village is rich in silver jewelry, so I didn't prepare gifts in advance, and planned to go to the village to find out.

I've always wanted to make a gift for Quimber with my own hands.

The author says:

"A hard shell embedded with some kind of river or seafood."

Similar to the oyster shell wall, there are quite a lot of them on the southeast coast, and interested friends can search for them.

◎Torrential rain◎

The next morning, the weather was no longer as clear as the previous day, and the clouds were mixed with gray and white, patrolling the whole territory with the wind.Shitou's father, who was doing morning exercises in the courtyard, saw us coming out, stopped and greeted us: "Good morning, students! Breakfast is prepared in the kitchen."

Shitou's father is a kind man. He grows food and fruits and vegetables in the family's field. He is busy on the land all year round. His skin is tanned and his body is strong.

He led us into the kitchen, removed the plastic cover and said, "This plate is vegetarian steamed stuffed buns stuffed with vegetables, and this plate is pork buns with corn and pork. Soy milk is in a thermos. You are welcome, just eat."

Stone’s tableware is all made of wood, and there are wood patterns on the large and small bowls and chopsticks, which look simple but have a different charm.

A few children probably heard us, and ran out of the house kicking and kicking.Shi Shi seems to be awake, but the two younger sisters are different. The braids that I forgot to remove last night are now one high and one low, and a bunch of fallen hair is still wrapped around the neck. The short legs walk two steps and stop for a while. Standing there and rubbing his eyes, it was obvious that he hadn't woken up yet.

Senior Sister Yan burst out laughing: "Come on Tangtang, sister will braid your hair."

Tangtang heard the call, ran over to find the sound, threw herself on the senior sister's thigh, and let others rub her.Soon, two braids of the same height and height stood on the top of her head as yesterday.

Senior Sister Yan looked at me provocatively, "You won't know how to do this, young man."

Qiuqiu stood there rubbing away his drowsiness, leaning on the door frame enviously looking at his sister's neat braids.Unconvinced, I rushed to the ball and waved: "Come on, Qiuqiu, brother will braid your hair."

The kid's hair is very soft, soft and smooth. I can't control the volume and height of the hair. The braided braid was severely disliked by Senior Sister Yan. She said, "Come on balls, my sister will tie two beautiful balls for you." .”

As soon as the senior sister made a move, the result was very different, two cute little balls stood up on the left and right of Qiuqiu's head very quickly.

After a while, Shitou's mother didn't show up. Sister Yan asked Shitou's father who was serving us soy milk: "Uncle Yao, why don't you see Auntie Yao?"

"She went to the city today. Someone ordered a batch of silver jewelry a while ago, and today is the delivery day." Uncle Yao turned and put the soybean milk in front of us, "When she comes back, you can bring her the design you like. , ask her to knock you a bracelet."

I, who had been listening all the time, got excited and asked, "Can Aunt Yao teach people how to make silver jewelry?"

Senior Sister Yan turned her head and gave me a strange look, and asked, "Are you in love?"

I pulled out the ring attached to my body and asked proudly, "What do you think?"

The senior sister bowed and said, "It's hidden very deep, young man! You can still find someone in such a busy schedule."

"What do you want to do? It's too difficult to learn in a while."

I thought about it, and answered Uncle Yao: "Just make a silver ring, plain, without patterns." Just thinking about it in my heart made me happy.

"This should be fine," Uncle Yao filled up Qiuqiu's empty wooden bowl, "You can ask her in the afternoon."

After breakfast, Director Yan came back from the outside and asked us with his hands behind his back: "Have you finished eating? It's time to start work."

A few of us ran into the house immediately, packed our things and ran out quickly, standing in a row.

"Shitou, go to the house and take out my bag." Director Yan and Brother Zhao slept in the same room, and I was lucky enough to get a single room.

Both stones turned around, but Uncle Yao quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed the little stone by the collar: "Hey, he's called a big stone, where are you going, little stone?"

We all laughed out loud.Xiao Shitou realized that he had made a joke, and he also scratched his head and laughed.

The river section in the village is the middle and lower reaches of the Huaihe River, and the upper reaches are Donghuai Village.The fact that these two small villages have been safe for so many years is not without God's will.

We had just arrived at the river when Director Yan's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and picked it up. The seriousness on his face eased a bit, but soon sank again.

"Which river is there beside the river? There is only one river in the village." Director Yan looked up at the sky after speaking, and added: "Remember to bring an umbrella."

After hanging up the phone, Director Yan said in his usual tone: "People from Yanchuan, wait for them."

The flow of the Huaihe River today is obviously much larger than yesterday. Even though a lot of water is diverted into the fields, the flow rate is still increasing, and the water body is much more turbid than it is today.

"During dinner last night, I heard from Aunt Yao that Donghuai Village had a lot of rain yesterday." Senior Sister Yan said.

"More than that," I frowned as I looked at the water flow, "Looking at the amount of water, I guess it's raining all over the upper reaches."

"But the weather forecast didn't say it's going to rain, it just said it's cloudy today." Brother Zhao took out his phone and checked the weather forecast again, "It still didn't say it was going to rain."

"Even though it is at the foot of the mountain, the altitude is still much higher than outside, the weather
