Chapter 42: Quaint Mountain Village
There was nothing to say along the way, and everyone got on the train in big bags. Along the way, Chen Ruixi recited the jokes copied from the Internet. These jokes have been prepared for more than a month. This made Jin Xia laugh continuously. Wang Juan pursed her lips and smiled politely. Ruilin and Wang Juan were a little embarrassed about Ruixi's kindness to "relieve everyone's boredom".
After getting off the train, transfer to a car, transfer to a bus, transfer to a tractor, and finally reaching the end of the road. Facing the endless mountains and ridges, Qin Ruilin said with a shame that modern civilization is the end here, and we will have to walk the mountain and forest roads for a long time to experience the uncivilized primitive world.
This intimidating vaccination did not have the expected effect. Jin Xia screamed excitedly after hearing this. It seemed that for these city girls who had never seen the world, the strange things were all scenery. Even a pool of cow dung on the roadside was a gift from nature to her.
The walking problem was solved, but what should I do if Jinxia had a bunch of things? While Qin Ruilin was scratching his head, his second uncle Qin Xianghe appeared in a timely manner while driving a donkey.
It turned out that Chen Ruixi had already conveyed the itinerary of returning home in glory to his second uncle through the only telephone number in the village, Qin Xianghe. Unlike most casual mountain residents, Qin Xianghe is an elderly man who pays attention to time like a clock. This is also a habit developed by the village party secretary (also village chief and health committee member) for many years.
Jin Xia jumped and screamed around the donkey excitedly, patting her hands constantly, and asked, "What is this? Is the donkey? Is it a pet? Do you eat grass? Can you scream? Can you ride?"
Qin Ruilin said with a embarrassed look that the donkey was used for camel goods, and the villagers rely on this to transport things outside the mountain to exchange daily necessities with people and sell them for money.
This donkey cannot be ridden, and the second uncle is generally unwilling to ride it. But you can ride it as a guest, but the rest of these people will have to replace the donkey camels. Moreover, it is so conventional that a big girl sits on the donkey with her legs and legs, which makes the village chief look down upon her.
Qin Xianghe really didn't have enough knowledge. He had never met such a noisy girl. He looked at Qin Ruilin with a suspicious look. Where did you get a girl who was mentally ill?
After Chen Ruixi introduced the two sides to each other, everyone cleaned up and finally set off. After the first meeting with the donkey, Jin Xia's excited expression finally calmed down.
After entering the forest road, I began to express my opinions on the trees on both sides and the birds and insects in the jungle: "What kind of tree is this? It must have been so tall for many years, right? What kind of bird is this? The sound is so nice! Is this mushroom? It's so bright that I can't eat it, right? What kind of flower is this? It smells so fragrant!"
Chen Ruixi saw her two white little hands pinching and poking the left and right, and kept looking like she smiled and answered patiently one by one.
At this time, Jinxia stretched her fingers towards a plate of black things and muttered: "This is..."
Ruixi shouted, "Don't move! That's... cow shit..."
Finally, I returned to the village. The imagined villagers welcomed each other, but the scene of firecrackers roaring together did not appear. Behind the old earthen house, there were constantly two heads appearing in groups of three or three, and there were whispers behind the wall.
The people in my hometown have not been civilized for a long time and have never seen such a bright and fashionable person. Even Wang Juan looks a bit avant-garde in her simple outfit.
Qin Xianghe shouted in Jinxia all the way, in dialect that Wang Juan couldn't understand, "Ruilin, Ruixi is back, college students are back, Ruilin Ruixi brings two... Cough cough, come back!"
Everyone marched all the way to the village branch, and Qin Xianghe arranged the two girls to stay in the branch office. It was said that it was an office, but in fact it was two tiled houses. The main decoration inside was a treble speaker that could roar all over the village. This stupid guy who had been eliminated by modern society is still the main communication tool in the village.
It seemed that after some cleaning, the bed I had temporarily put up was stacked with neat and clean bedding pillows.
Qin Xianghe rubbed his two big hands with rugged joints and said in a stiff Mandarin, "The two girls will sleep here at night. I heard Ruixi say that you have brought all the daily necessities by yourself. That's good. We usually eat from village to household. Speaking of which, we are all relatives in the village. Ruilin Ruixi brought the girls back this time. According to the village rules, each household will invite a new wife to dinner..."
Ruilin was afraid that the village chief would continue to say something unbearable, so he quickly said, "Okay, okay, let's arrange the rest. Thank you for your hard work, you are old, and you are tired this day, so go back early to rest. There are me and Ruixi here."
Qin Xianghe laughed: "Look, this kid has been studying for several years and is so literary and disgusting. Why are you talking to your uncle? I am strong and can pull down a donkey with empty hands! When I was young, I can pull down two donkeys!"
Seeing his uncle's gesture of pulling the donkey, Ruilin's face turned red with shame. He secretly glanced at the two girls, which was so embarrassing.
Jin Xia is also a smart girl. She is not affected by the vulgar words in the countryside. She said with a smile, "Thank you uncle for bringing us here today. It's not too early this day. Ruilin and Ruixi have not yet come home to meet their parents. We two girls are a little tired from the way, so we wash and rinse and prepare to go to bed."
When Qin Xianghe heard this, his face changed and he quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll go back first. The two pigs at home have not been fed yet."
After walking a few steps, he turned back to Qin Ruilin and said, "Ergouzi, our place has suddenly cooled down these days. It's a bit cold at night. Please remind the girls to keep it on and don't catch a cold."
He said to Ruixi again: "Ergazi, if you have time, come to me. I have something to discuss with you."
Before the two of them answered, they turned their heads and kept holding the donkey and continued walking, muttering, "The weather has been tepid for decades, why has it suddenly become cold recently?"
The Qinhan Village is surrounded by mountains and dense jungles, forming a unique basin climate, which is humid and hot all year round, and even if it is cold for nine days, it is still around twenty degrees. However, I don’t know what it is affected recently, but it suddenly starts to cool down. In the summer, it is a bit cool at night.
When Ruilin Ruixi was embarrassed by his nickname, Jin Xia seemed to be not thinking: "How about it, two, the next two of us flower girls will fall into your hands. How do you plan to conquer us from this ancient village in the barren mountain?"
Wang Juan's face was flushed with shame and said reluctantly, "You can't be serious."
Then he said to Ruilin, "I've caused you trouble. I see, when you mentioned that you asked my uncle to go back, my uncle seemed a little unhappy. It's not that Jin Xia's words were unshirkable, which made the old man unhappy?"
Ruilin looked at Ruixi with some hesitation, and Ruixi said generously, "I have both parents died since I was a child. I have always worn hundreds of families and ate hundreds of families. Many times I always live with my second uncle, who just lived with the old man. So when you said that when you went home to see your parents, your second uncle might feel uncomfortable when he heard it."
"It's okay, the folk customs here are very simple, and my second uncle is also a good person and will not take it to heart."
"In this way, you two are preparing to take a breakfast. We will come to you tomorrow morning to have breakfast together. Although there are no delicacies in our place, there are many pheasants, hares, grass and carp. Moreover, pure natural green food tastes like the two flavors you usually eat!"
Jin Xia gave him a blank look and said, "You know how to eat. Our Miss Wang Juan and Wang are here to study culture. When will you take us to visit the scenic spots and historical sites here be serious."
Ruixi grinned, "What are the scenic spots and historical sites in the remote mountains? Why don't I take you to see the wilderness graves in the village? The moon is so round tonight. It is said that the night is dark and windy, and the lonely soul and the beauty are more suitable."
Jin Xia made a gesture to beat her, "You stinky little girl. Even though she knew that our eldest lady Wang Juan was timid, she still said these irrelevant words to scare her."
Ruixi laughed, pulled Ruilin and ran away.
Ruilin ran along while feeling upset. They still heard the nickname, and his lifelong reputation was finally ruined.
No matter how hard you create an elite image, you will lose a thousand feet with a nickname like Ergouzi.
The next few days were almost the same. Under the leadership of Jin Xia and Wang Juan, led by Ruilin and Ruixi, wandered around the village all day, watching naughty boys sucking fish and shrimps in the fields, and watching peasants grow vegetables and flowers in the mountains. When the meal came, they were dragged to the home of the seven aunts and eight aunts and nine sisters and ten nephews for dinner.
Hundreds of families in this mountain village are all relatives, relatives, and relatives are mixed with relatives. There is one family. The couple is in their forties and fifties. One calls them the same brothers of Ruilin and the other calls them the younger uncle. They each have a family system, so they will not mess with the rules of generationality.
Although each household has brought out its most solemn etiquette and treasured delicacies to entertain the two city girls, most of the things are not suitable for their appetite, so they both taste the meals on the table, but some snacks such as fresh fruits, persimmon cakes and almonds can arouse their interest.
The two big girls were so picky that everyone looked at each other, and the owner was afraid that he would be embarrassed by the poor hospitality.
Ruixi comforted the villagers in dialect, "These two girls are losing weight. People in the city are like this. If they don't work all day, they are weak and prone to gain weight. If they don't control it, they will be fatter than they are. Look at the girl who smiles all day long, in order to control her appetite, she has cut half of her stomach. In fact, if they eat it, they will be as fat as pigs in a few months."
