Chapter 61 Living in the same room
In the night, I let go, so I planned to sing a song to Hua Wen. Sometimes I would hum songs when I was driving alone, but when there were people around, I couldn't let go, and I would go out of tune when I was nervous.
So I sang Xu Wei's "Hometown" a cappella. I couldn't remember part of the lyrics clearly, and it was also out of tune. I felt like my face was burning at the end of the song. I really felt uncomfortable singing in front of people who played music. It was unexpected.
, when I finished singing, I got applause from Hua Wen.
Listening to this, Hua Wen tried her best to control herself not to laugh. Then she suppressed her voice and said: "Although you are mostly out of tune, your voice is suitable for singing Western songs. You can practice more in the future. I will teach you some pronunciation methods. That way
It will be better.”
"Although I'm from Shaanxi, my hometown accent is Sichuan. Why do you think I'm suitable for western songs?" I asked.
"Western songs are passionate, unrestrained, cheerful, melodious, and rough. In short, they are distinctive and distinctive. I'm not talking about the accent but the feeling. You are suitable for the west, but not for the Jiangnan where you and I are friends." Hua Wen said.
"I know I'm not good at singing. In fact, if I sing for fun by myself, I'm fine. But if there are people listening next to me or if I sing in front of many people, I'll be very nervous and I'll definitely be out of tune," I said.
"Then I will become my teacher. At least I can sing boldly while riding in the wilderness. You are a professional music teacher." I said.
"Farewell, don't say I'm your teacher. I'll teach you pronunciation and nothing else. You're too bad at this. If you can't break it, don't even think about singing it to others. Just find a few songs you like.
If you are familiar with the songs and practice them repeatedly, you can sing one or two when necessary, and others will not laugh at you!" Hua Wen said.
"You! You! You, do you want to say something so true? Is what you say true?" I was indeed shocked.
In the complete darkness, we were speeding on the road. I particularly liked this feeling. It was empty and you could see the sky was very low in the darkness. After passing a winding road, dots of lights appeared in the distance.
, the rural lighting project has provided street lights for a small stretch of road in the countryside.
When I saw the street lights, I felt like I was back in the world. When I arrived at the police station in the township, I saw an acquaintance, a Tajik boy named Amirdin, who happened to be on duty.
He was the young man who had been accompanying me and Hua Wen after the search and rescue team withdrew. I happily got out of the car and shook hands with him. He also recognized Hua Wen and me from a distance, and after shaking hands, he gave it to me excitedly.
A hug, then looked at Hua Wen and smiled shyly.
Emildin’s Mandarin is not good, so I said I would like to come here to have fun and see my friends here. Now I am going to a girl named Satiniti’s house. A friend of mine is at her house. Emildine’s Mandarin is not good, so I
He couldn't understand some of what was said.
At this time, Hua Wen took advantage of her language again. She said we are here to see our friends. I took a carton of snow lotus cigarettes from the car and gave it to Emildin. He accepted it happily. He agreed to leave tomorrow.
Ban came to find us. Xinjiang is a large place with a small population, so even people from two places that are far apart can know each other.
Because other roads in the countryside were very dark, I drove all the way to the door of Satiniti's house. The lights in Satiniti's wooden house were on, and the dim light shone through the gaps and windows. It was very warm and quiet.
In the dark night, Chen Yan's balls were parked quietly on the edge of the wooden house.
"Hey~~, dear friends, you are the gods from the sky who brought me warmth! I heard the sound of your car and was so happy that I was about to fly!" Chen Yan's voice came over. He and Xiao Sa heard
The sound of cars came and he greeted us with a strange accent.
I threw a pack of cigarettes to him. As acquaintances in the far west, we seemed to be old friends I hadn't seen for many years. He gave me a big hug. I guess he was already very lonely in the mountains if he could bear it.
, seeing me is like meeting a relative.
I moved his suitcase into the yurt, gave him two cigarettes, and brought some vegetables, rice, flour, and oil from the car into the wooden house. I also brought the cheap wine and beer I bought on the road to the house for him.
"You use the cheap wine to entertain the people here. I left in a hurry today and bought some cheap wine in your sunshine community. The ones that are too expensive are probably fake. Next time you come, I will find some bottles of good wine and you can drink it yourself." I said.
.
"You can buy cigarettes and wine in this country. Next time, bring something that is not available here." Chen Yan was not polite.
Satiniti and her family are all here, and they are making dinner. It seems that we are in time.
"You haven't eaten at this late hour? We had ramen in Uppal, but I'm hungry again, so I can still eat some," I said.
"We are all busy. It gets dark for a while before we have time to cook. Sometimes dinner is just dry naan and milk tea. Today I happen to be cooking. It's like this in mountainous areas. The conditions are not good. Sometimes we can't have dinner until eleven o'clock in the evening."
Chen Yan told me.
After picking up Chen Yan's clothes, I passed by the vegetable market and bought some vegetables. I knew that there were basically no vegetables in the mountains and I usually ate very little. Thinking that Chen Yan was not used to it, I brought a lot of vegetables.
Chen Yan's eyes really lit up when he saw the vegetables. He washed some peppers and vegetables, fried two large plates of mutton and green peppers, and boiled the vegetables. He and Xiao Sa's father ate the vegetables with naan and naan.
Drinking wine, the atmosphere in the wooden house suddenly became brighter.
I also ate some naren, maybe because of the change of taste, Hua Wen also broke the habit of basically not eating at night and ate some naren.
"I went to a rural bazaar once and bought a few boxes of liquor. People here like to drink. The wine in the bazaar is not expensive, so I will prepare more. But I didn't buy clothes or vegetables, and the styles of clothes are not as good as mine.
The vegetables are all wilted. Let me tell you, Lao Li, I eat mutton now. I can’t live without mutton for a day. There is no refrigerator here, so I can only go to the village bazaar every day to buy mutton." Chen Yan said.
Talk while eating.
It was already very late after dinner. I said that I planned to find a leeward place to set up a tent and sleep outside to experience the feeling of camping in the Kunlun Mountains. However, Chen Yan rejected it.
"You have lived here, and you should know that it is too cold here at night, really too cold. If it weren't for the cold, I wouldn't let you send me clothes. It's only a few degrees at night, and there are all kinds of things in my yurt.
You need to make a fire to keep warm. You can't sleep in the car. It's not safe to turn on the heater. A car without a fire will be as cold as a refrigerator. I advise you to stay in a yurt. There are three yurts in Satini's family."
Chen Yan said.
I didn’t say that it was because Hua Wen was not used to living in a tent that I thought about it. The temperature in my tent was minus 20 degrees, but I also felt that insisting like this would make Hua Wen uncomfortable sleeping. It was me who forced her to
You come from the mountains, but you have to take good care of yourself.
"In this way, you and Hua Wen will share a yurt. The same one that Hua Wen lived in last time. If you really want to live in a tent, just set up a tent in the yurt." Chen Yan said.
Then Chen Yan gave me a look and whispered: "Lao Li, how are you? Is my assist good?"
There was a stove in the wooden house and it was very warm. When I went out to smoke, I also felt the cold outside. I suppressed the idea of trying my tent. The tent and sleeping bag were said to be used at minus 20 degrees. I had never been there before.
I have been camping in the Kunlun Mountains, so I really want to try it.
I whispered to Chen Yan: "Okay, that's it. It's just a yurt. Are there any clean quilts that are useless? I can put Hua Wen's own quilt in the car."
"Yes, these two yurts are only issued by the village. They are new yurts, worth more than 20,000 yuan each. They are said to be for herdsmen to engage in tourism, but where do the tourists come from in this Shanwowo?
After that, you stayed here last time, and the bedding is also new, so you can use it as your cover. If you are not used to it, you can use your own sleeping bag." Chen Yan said.
"Brother, you can do it. It didn't take long for you to find out everything about someone's family background." I said.
Chen Yan waved his hand to me and said: "Forget it, the herdsmen here generally only have a few things in their homes. I have repaired the broken cabinet in Satiniti's house twice. If I don't graze, I will be suffocated here."
of."
"Then you are still staying here and not going back?" I asked.
"If you don't go back, you won't be able to get a cleansing of your soul. This place is too pure. Didn't you notice that I have become pure?" Chen Yan said with a serious expression.
I went to Hua Wen and whispered to her about the situation of living in the yurt. She glared at me and then agreed to live in the yurt. Unfortunately, the lights in the yurt were broken. The lights in the yurt here are all powered by solar panels and batteries.
, etc. are LED lights.
This is my strong point, but I tinkered with it for a long time and couldn't turn on the light. It was too dark, and there was a socket on the head of the machine where the solar panel was connected. I tried to charge my phone, but it couldn't output. It might be an inverter.
There is something wrong with the device.
"Tomorrow I will dismantle the machine head and take a look. If I don't want to dismantle it, I will light candles in the yurt." I announced.
Satiniti tried her best to let us live in a wooden house, saying that it was warm in the wooden house and the beds were better. But that would disturb their family too much, so Hua Wen and I insisted on living in a yurt. I knew that Hua Wen could persist when she was a teacher.
During the holiday home visits, she stayed with many struggling students, but now the environment is different, and she is not used to sharing a room with other people's families.
I don't care. Sharing a room with Xiao Sa's family is also an experience. It is said that in the past, when people went to the countryside, they slept crowded with fellow villagers, and the conditions were like that. Therefore, when herdsmen stayed with relatives, friends or tourists, they always lived in a yurt.
"Xiao Sa, last time I sang in the yurt where Chen Yan lived, I fell asleep directly after singing. I never experienced the feeling of living in a yurt. Today I want to experience it." I told Xiao Sa. Then they never asked again.
We live in a wooden house.
Hua Wen also said that she wanted to experience sleeping in a yurt with me. After listening to Xiao Sa’s translation and explanation, Satiniti’s family all showed understanding smiles. Facing Satiniti’s family, we understood
' With an expression on her face, Hua Wen actually told a lie: "The two of us have decided to get married. Our etiquette is different from yours. You must not live together before getting married, but my hometown requires you to live in someone else's home.
, two people who are about to get married have to live in one room."
Hua Wen's words made Chen Yan stunned. He kept looking at me with strange eyes, and then smiled without saying a word, with an expression of "I understand". I was the only one who was troubled by Hua Wen.
