After taking a shower, I watched TV outside for a while, and took out the mobile phone that I hadn’t touched all day. There was a message from 10086 on the mobile phone, which was the message that the recharge was successful.

Lin Haoxi looked at the phone screen, the corners of his lips twitched.Write a message with only two words: Thank you.

The recipient is Li Yi.

After the mobile phone showed that the sending was successful, Lin Haoxi put away the mobile phone, looked at Song Yuhui next to him and asked, "What time do you go to bed?"

"Nine o'clock."

After the ending of a Hong Kong movie in the 90s on TV, it was exactly nine o'clock.The two elderly people who were enjoying the cool outside entered the house and were going to sleep.

Lin Haoxi went back to the room, turned on the laptop that was only charged today, and typed on the keyboard.

It was nearly eleven o'clock when I turned off the computer and prepared to go to bed.Probably because I drank too much water and wanted to go to the toilet a little bit.Lin Haoxi thought of the latrine built next to the pigsty, and didn't want to go there at all.

But I can't hold it all night, I gritted my teeth, and I still have to go.

Fortunately, I brought a flashlight, opened the door lightly, and arrived at the main room, and then saw a person lying next to the dining table by the light of the flashlight.Lin Haoxi was startled at first, but after seeing clearly that it was Song Yuhui, he calmed down.

Lin Haoxi walked over and patted him. Song Yuhui woke up, and didn't show his temper when he was woken up suddenly. He sat up with one hand supporting his body, and looked at him in surprise, "Brother?"

Lin Haoxi lowered her voice and asked, "Why don't you go to bed?"

When asked this question, Song Yuhui obviously hesitated, "I sleep well here."

Hearing his answer and seeing a sheet on his body, Lin Haoxi knew the reason.His own room was Song Yuhui's room, and he gave up his own room to him, so he planned to make do with a few benches in this main room by himself.

Lin Haoxi said seriously: "Go back to the room later, sleep with me."

"Brother, no need, I'm fine here."

"Don't talk nonsense, you'll sleep with me later." He straightened up and shook his head at Song Yuhui to signal, "I want to go to the toilet, do you want to go?"

Song Yuhui got off the 'bed' and put on his slippers, "I'll go with you."

The two opened the door and came out. It was pitch black outside, and the sound of insects suddenly became clear.The mountain on the opposite side is densely packed, and the outline can be seen clearly through the crescent moon in the sky.

There was a long grunting sound from the pigsty.Song Yuhui waited outside with a flashlight, turned his back, and the light of the flashlight shone into the toilet.The light can still shine a little through the gap in the toilet.

After Lin Haoxi solved it quickly, he came out of the toilet, "I'll take care of it for you, you go."

"Yes." Song Yuhui handed the flashlight to Lin Haoxi and went into the toilet.

When the two returned to the house, Song Yuhui still wanted to continue sleeping in the main room, but was pulled back by Lin Haoxi, "Go to sleep in the room."

Song Yuhui didn't mind sleeping with Lin Haoxi, he was afraid that Lin Haoxi would mind, after all, he was a child from the city.

The Song family has three bedrooms, one for the two old people. The remaining two rooms were originally for the two sons and one daughter.As for Song Yuhui's parents, they should have gone out to work.There are only two old people and one grandson left in the family.

Lin Haoxi lives in Song Yuhui's room. The remaining room in the house has no bed. If no one lives in it for a long time, it becomes a warehouse, storing rice, sweet potatoes, pickled vegetable jars, etc., filling the whole room.

Song Yuhui followed Lin Haoxi into the room, and Lin Haoxi let him sleep in it.

Song Yuhui said: "Brother, you should sleep in. I get up early in the morning, so as not to disturb you."

"What time do you usually get up?"

"Six o'clock."

Lin Haoxi: "..."

So he fell asleep in silence.After the two of them lay down, there was still a lot of empty space in the middle, obviously Song Yuhui only occupied a little space outside.

Lin Haoxi reached out and patted the empty space in the middle, "Move in."

Song Yuhui obediently moved a little inside, just a little.

Lin Haoxi asked: "Do you not like sleeping with others?"

"No." He answered immediately.

"Then why are you so far away from me?"

"I...I sleep outside, there is enough space." Song Yuhui said.

"Don't fall."

"will not."

Song Yuhui sleeps very peacefully, does not snore, grinds his teeth, does not move around, and breathes very shallowly.

Summer nights in the countryside are not too hot even without fans and air conditioners, so you can sleep peacefully overnight.

When Lin Haoxi opened his eyes, Song Yuhui had already woken up, and he was sleeping in the middle, only [-] centimeters away from the bed.Maybe yesterday I fell asleep and moved a little outside, and Song Yuhui only occupied a little outside.

Get up and go out the door.Originally thought that Song Yuhui was going out to do farm work, but unexpectedly saw him in the kitchen.He sat on a small wooden bench [-] centimeters high, and with a swipe of the firewood knife in his hand, the firewood taller than a person was broken into two pieces, and one piece was stuffed into the stove.

Lin Haoxi squatted down next to him naturally, "What are you cooking?"

"Sticky rice."

Lin Haoxi picked up a piece of firewood Song Yuhui had just cut and stuffed it into the stove, "Is it breakfast?"

"No, the brewer." Song Yuhui turned his head to look at him, "Brother, you haven't brushed your teeth and washed your face yet, have you?"

"No, let's go now." Lin Haoxi stood up and walked out to the kitchen.

After washing my face and brushing my teeth, I ate something casually.The glutinous rice on Song Yuhui's side has also been steamed, and Grandma Song is in charge of making wine.The steamed glutinous rice is poured on the dustpan, and the aroma of glutinous rice fills the whole hall.

Granny Song, wearing an apron, pinched two glutinous rice balls and gave one to Lin Haoxi and Song Yuhui.

Song Yuhui said that it would taste better if some pickled vegetables were stuffed into the rice balls.Lin Haoxi thought of Korean rice balls, but compared to Korean rice balls, he preferred to eat the glutinous rice balls with a farmhouse flavor.

The wine in this village is all homemade, and the two elders would drink a bowl of white wine before eating on weekdays.

There are not many processes for making glutinous rice wine. After steaming the glutinous rice, let it cool, sprinkle some wine medicine, put it into a wine jar, dig a hole in the middle, sprinkle some boiled water, and it will basically take shape after three days.

The two old people usually like to drink baijiu, which is stuffed with rice or sweet potatoes.Glutinous rice wine sweet wine, suitable for young people to drink, Grandma Song also made it to entertain Lin Haoxi.

Living in the mountains, the transportation is inconvenient. The nearest small shop is a farmer’s family at the entrance of the village. They casually set up a container at home to sell some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and some sweets that children like. The only store in the village.

But for daily necessities, everyone still likes to go to the town to buy them.Every once in a while, I walk for more than an hour on the mountain road to the market in the center of the town.With the progress of the times, there are also some people who drive motorcycles, but the mountain road has eighteen bends, so you have to be careful when driving.

I go in the morning and come back in the afternoon. When I come back, the back of the basket is always full of things, or newly bought clothes, or some daily necessities.

There are also some farmers who will get some things to sell, such as dried bamboo shoots that are dried at home, or medicinal materials collected in the mountains, and sold at the market for some money, and then use the money to buy things they need and bring them back.

Children in the mountains seem to have little snacks to eat, but they actually eat much more and are more nutritious than children in the city.Every time you go to the mountains, there are always wild fruits in season, either sour, sweet, and some sweet and sour.

The peach trees, plum trees, and bayberry trees planted at the gate or on the back hill are enough for the whole village to eat.

As a child born and raised in the mountains, Song Yuhui is familiar with all kinds of delicacies in the countryside.When cooking, you can pour out the excess rice milk after the water boils, add some sugar to taste, it tastes sweet and sweet, and there is a thick rice fragrance in the mouth, with endless aftertaste.

The tender corn that has just been broken from the ground is skewered with a wooden stick and roasted over a slow fire by the stove. The plump corn seeds are a little black. When eaten while it is hot, there is a burnt aroma in the sweet green.

There is also a delicacy, and I don't know who created it.A plant is planted on the hillside not far from the door. The root can be used as medicine. The palm-sized leaves are picked and washed, and the chopped chicken wings or frogs sprinkled with salt are wrapped in it like a lotus leaf rice dumpling. The zong leaves were tightly wrapped, and the leaves were buried in the ash in the stove together.

After a period of time, it was clipped out, although it was covered with plant ash, but once the burnt leaves were opened, the smell of meat mixed with the aroma of plants lingered on the tip of the nose.

The meat cooked in this way is fresh and tender, and it really melts in the mouth, and it has a fragrance of the leaves themselves, which is a bit wild in taste.

In this isolated mountain, delicious food can be found everywhere, even if it is just a vine wrapped around a bush.I don't know what the name of this plant is. Lin Haoxi stood by and watched Song Yuhui peel off the pimples on the vines, and there were one or two fleshy white worms lying in the vine pimples.

This kind of bug has no extra tentacles or wings. Looking around, the whole chubby body looks like a cocoon.In addition to where the eyes and mouth are located, the head can be distinguished.

Song Yuhui worked hard for half an hour to get a full rice bowl out of the shed of vines.

This kind of worm should be eaten fried, put some oil, stir-fry for a few minutes, or sprinkle some chopped green peppers to add some spicy taste.

This kind of worm has high protein content and trace elements necessary for the human body, and its nutritional value is very high.
