Chapter 53 Section 3

It gets dark early in winter, and we are in the mountains again. It was already dark at five o'clock, and my tiredness gradually came up. Lu Licheng said in a low voice, "Go to sleep for a while, and I will call you when we arrive." I shook my head, "How long is it?" Taozi said: "There is still more than an hour. After a while, the mobile phone should have a signal. You can call home first." Just as I was talking, my cell phone rang, and Lin Yilian's voice echoed in the car. The wind blows fiercely in the wilderness... Waiting for a thought to turn, waiting for a surge of love, and meeting you in a lifetime, who can be indifferent, like the sky that has not changed from generation to generation... It is useless to think about it, if the tide of emotion surges, Who can be calm and easily let go of the traces of love, like the turbulence of waves, like the melting of ice and snow, the heart just squirms secretly...

Lu Licheng looked at me when he heard the singing.I frantically searched for my phone, and finally found it in the middle of my handbag. I answered it quickly, "Hello?" "I finally got through. I kept saying that you were outside the service area. I thought Lu Licheng sold you out. But after thinking about you, you have no beauty, and no one wants you!" Malatang never forgets to hurt me. . "You have something to talk about, so don't talk nonsense! It doesn't cost money to roam on my mobile phone?" "Reached?" "still on the way."

"Oh my god! You're on a plane at seven o'clock in the morning, and his house is really remote." “The scenery along the way is beautiful and picturesque, which is dizzying.” "nervous?" I pondered for a while, and cursed: "You are crazy! I had already forgotten, but you remind me eagerly, I am nervous now!" Malatang giggled, "Isn't it just to meet the future in-laws! Don't be nervous, Lu Li's family is prosperous, and we are not weak. His family dares to bully you, Song Yi and I will kick their field." I asked her: "Aren't you on the plane after six o'clock? Don't go to eat? Are you too idle to grind your teeth with me?"

Malatang was silent, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't say it.I waited quietly, and after a while, she said, "I just made a phone call to confirm your safety, nothing serious, hang up." "Wait!" I thought for a while and said, "My phone is always on. Call me anytime you want to talk." Malatang hummed lightly, "Manman, I won't see you for so many days, I will miss you." I gasped, expressing that I was completely disgusted by her, "There is no basis for what you say, and it is the last word to buy me more gifts." Malatang hung up the phone.I was holding the phone in a daze, and Taozi smiled and asked, "Auntie Su's good friend?"

"Ok." Seeing Taozi's smiling expression, I suddenly realized that my mobile phone was leaking sound, and explained with a headache: "My friend is intermittently neurotic. Don't take her words seriously. Your uncle and I...we are just ordinary friends." Taozi smiled, "I know, I know." His smile was full of meaning, the more I traced it, the darker it became, so I simply shut up. After six o'clock, I finally arrived at Lu Licheng's house. The car was still some distance away from the yard, and people were already barking and shouting.Seeing the dark figures in the yard, my legs really started to weaken, "How many people are there in your family? I remember you are just a sister and a brother."

Lu Licheng also had some headaches. "Many people are relatives. People in the countryside like to be lively. This is a way for them to show their friendliness." The car stopped, and he whispered: "It's okay, just keep smiling when you see customers, and I will take care of other things." I nod. When he got out of the car, a group of people gathered around, talking, laughing, and passing cigarettes. I couldn't understand them at all. I only knew that they were very happy, and Lu Licheng greeted them one by one.With a smile on my face, I got out of the car tremblingly. Before I could stand still, I saw a big yellow dog barking at me.I was always afraid of dogs, but when I saw its sharp fangs, I was so frightened that I screamed and fled to Lu Licheng.Lu Licheng was talking to someone, when he heard my cry, he immediately turned around and held me in his arms.Taozi stood in front of the dog and scolded the dog away. Someone hurriedly took the rope and tied the dog aside.

I was still too scared to regain my senses, Lu Licheng patted my back and helped me walk into the house, "It's okay, it's okay, I've been chained." When I was not afraid anymore and my heart was calmer, I looked up and saw that the whole room was looking at me with smiles. The two children hid behind the adults and peeked at me. expression.My face was flushed, and I wished I could find a hole in the ground and get into it.Taozi winked and smiled at me, with an expression of "look at how ordinary my uncle and your relationship are". An old woman with gray hair kept looking at me and smiling, and Lu Licheng took me to say hello to her.I can't understand what she said at all, but her smile has conveyed all her inner feelings to me.I respectfully called "Auntie" and gave her the gift I brought.She was holding a red envelope to give to me, I didn't know what to do, Lu Licheng whispered a few words, she put away the red envelope, just looked at me and smiled.I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her too.

Lu Licheng introduced his brother-in-law, brother, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew to me.My nephew is the little boy who secretly shamed me. His nickname is Miao Miao. Taozi asked him to call me "Aunt Su", but he changed it to "Auntie Coward" on his own initiative.The whole family wanted to laugh, but they were afraid that I would get angry, so they held back and told Miao Miao to change his mouth. He pouted and expressed his refusal, "Aunt Coward is more cowardly than Miao Miao. From now on, she will be a coward, but I will not." His older sister Jingjing kindly explained to me: "Miao Miao is very timid and dare not play alone in the yard at night. We all call him a coward."

People inside the room laughed, and people outside the room laughed too.Taozi smoked for everyone and unloaded the goods from the truck for everyone.The spectators dispersed one after another, and finally only Lu Licheng and his family were left. Lu Licheng's sister came out of the kitchen, greeted everyone for dinner, and came over to say hello to me.Lu Licheng's mother sat in the middle, Lu Licheng was next to his mother's right hand side, and his elder brother sat on his mother's left hand side.His brother asked me to sit next to Lu Licheng, and said to me: "Whatever you want to use or eat, just tell Chengzi." It's not too polite, but it is the most considerate solution.

Both his brother-in-law and sister-in-law couldn't speak Mandarin well, so they just ate with a smile.His sister's Mandarin is very standard, and she looks like a capable person. Taozi is obviously more like her mother. I was eating food quietly, and his sister-in-law wanted to bring me some food. His sister said with a smile: "People in the city don't like this, and they don't like to eat things touched by other people's chopsticks." Looking at Taozi, Taozi immediately nodded with a smile, "People in the city are more particular about these things." He is not very old, but his words seem to be very authoritative.Lu Licheng's sister-in-law embarrassedly put the vegetables in her bowl, pointed at the vegetables and said with a smile, "You eat."

I nodded hurriedly, picked up a few chopsticks and put them into my bowl.Lu Licheng stood up, put some dishes that I couldn't reach into the plate, and put them in my hand, "You pick what you like, and I'll eat the rest." It's strange, I thought it would be cramped among strangers, but I didn't expect that I was very happy, and even enjoyed the joy of having such a big family sitting around and eating together. Lu Licheng was talking to his elder brother all the time, his brother-in-law occasionally interjected a few words, and the three of them often touched wine bowls.Lu Licheng's mother always looked at me with a smile, and when she saw that there was no food on my plate, she immediately called Lu Licheng. The number of times, I gradually heard her pronunciation of Lu Licheng clearly. Lu Licheng's older sister listened attentively to what the men were saying, and would express a few words of her own opinion from time to time, while Lu Licheng and his elder brother obviously respected her older sister, and would listen intently whenever she spoke.Lu Licheng's sister-in-law didn't care about what the men were doing at all, and concentrated on taking care of Miao Miao.While eating, Miao Miao made faces at me when his mother was not paying attention.Jingjing is already ten years old, and she is articulate. She bickers with Taozi while eating. When she is happy, she calls her elder brother, and when she is unhappy, she just calls her "Liu Haitao".But even though she was calling Liu Haitao, if she encountered fat that she didn't like, she still handed it to her elder brother, asking him to help her bite off the fat and eat lean meat by herself.Taozi did it naturally, apparently already used to taking care of her younger sister. After dinner, Lu Licheng took me to my room, "Are you not used to it? There are so many people eating together." I laughed, "I'm very envious. Really! When I was young, my dream was to have a big brother like Jingjing. When I grew up, I said to my mother, 'Give me a big brother!' Later, I realized that it is impossible to have a big brother. I also wanted to have a younger brother. Later, I finally realized that it is impossible for me to have a brother who loves me, so I can only hope to have a husband who loves me in the future. Lu Licheng, you are a very lucky person." Lu Licheng nodded in agreement, "My sister and my brother have always been kind to me since we were young. There are no brothers who don't fight in the countryside, but the three of us have never blushed." He helped me put my luggage away, and I found out the toiletries. He said apologetically, "It's a bit troublesome to take a shower. My family is not used to using air conditioners, but it was specially installed for me in this room, and it is the only one with air conditioners." room. The bathroom has to go downstairs, not inside the house, it is an independent room next to the house, it will be colder.” "It's okay, I can turn up the water temperature a little bit." The water in the water heater fluctuates, and it is very unstable, but after all, there is a hot bath to wash, which has far exceeded my expectations.The design of the bathroom is very special, instead of copying the tiles in the city, it is made of pebbles and cement, which is cheap and resource-saving, and is also very beautiful.I wondered while taking a shower, is it like this in the countryside here, or is Lu Li’s family special? After taking a shower, as soon as I opened the bathroom door, I felt a gust of cold wind hit my face. Before I could react, Lu Licheng had already wrapped me tightly with a down jacket, wrapped my head with a big towel, and dragged me quickly. run into the house. The room was very quiet, and I asked, "Is everyone asleep?" "Well, my sister and the others went back, and my brother and the others took a rest. In the countryside, we go to bed earlier. In winter, we eat dinner at four or five o'clock, and usually go to bed after eight o'clock. It's too late when we come back today. " "Where do you live?" "It's right next door to you. It was originally a study room. I asked my elder brother to help me build a bed." He walked to the closet and pushed open a sliding door. "The two rooms are connected. This door is not locked, but Don't worry, if you don't bark, I will never trespass." I laughed, "I'm not a beauty, what's there to worry about?" He also laughed, and handed me a hair dryer, "This is my sister-in-law's. She gave it to me just now, and asked me to tell you to dry your hair before going to bed. This place is no different from the city. There is no heating, and you sleep with wet hair. It’s easy to get a cold and a headache.” I also felt it, and after going upstairs for a while, I felt my scalp was getting cold, so I immediately took it over gratefully, blowing my hair, "Your sister-in-law is so cute." Lu Licheng sat on the stool and looked at me with a smile, "Isn't it true that one family does not enter one house, can I take this sentence as a compliment to me?" I made a face at him in the mirror, "Are you going to take a shower?" "Going right now."
