Chapter 57 Section 1

People coming and going all looked at me and Lu Licheng, who were kneeling on the ground with pale faces, but he didn't care at all, and just blocked their sight of probing me with his shoulders. We played until two o'clock at night before going to bed. Amidst the explosion of firecrackers from time to time, I couldn't sleep well all night.When I woke up in the morning, Taozi saw my face and said with a smile: "Don't try to sleep well these two days, there will always be people setting off firecrackers." "Don't you all need to sleep?" "The Spring Festival is the most leisure time of the year. There are not many entertainment activities in the countryside. When friends and relatives get together, they will play mahjong and often play all night. If you are lucky, you will go out and set off a firecracker to celebrate; if you are not lucky , will also run out and set off a firecracker for transport."

I laughed, "This is a great way to play mahjong!" "Do you play mahjong?" "I know a little bit, but I don't feel the fun of mahjong at all. I prefer to play poker. When I graduated from college, I played in the dark, and the whole corridor was full of poker games." "Then let's sneak out after dinner tonight. Grandma likes to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so my mother and uncle didn't play mahjong last night. They will definitely play mahjong tonight. If you are here, they will definitely want you hit." While talking, Jingjing and Miao Miao also got up, ran to me and bowed to say New Year greetings, "Auntie, Happy New Year."

I took out the red envelopes I had prepared and gave each of them, "I wish you all grow up quickly, study well, and stay in good health." Jingjing pursed her lips, "I don't want to grow up quickly! It's fun to be a child. It's fun to see my mother and my aunt working hard all day, cooking and working in the fields." After speaking, she ran away Looking for children, who has more New Year's money than anyone else. I stared at Taozi dumbfounded, "Are all children so smart nowadays? When I was young, I always looked forward to growing up quickly, thinking that growing up is the magic weapon to solve all troubles."

Taozi scratched her head, "I also have a generation gap with her. She always scolded me for being rude, saying that there must be no girls in school who like me." "Impossible!" I couldn't believe it, how could it not? He shook his head, with a hint of melancholy in his eyes, "No. I don't know how to tidy myself up, and I only like to stay in the library and the experimental field. I don't know anything girls like." In the Mood for Love, which teenager does not have a spring?I sighed: "It's the story of He Shibi again, but there will always be someone who truly knows jade, and she will respect you, respect you, and love you."

Taozi's face was flushed, and after a while, he whispered, "Thank you!" I laughed, and he suddenly asked, "Do you respect, respect, and love my uncle?" I said softly: "I said we are ordinary friends." He really understood what I meant, and looked at me sympathetically, with heavy regret in his eyes.I smiled, took the remaining red envelope, and waved it in front of his eyes, "My dear nephew, I haven't paid New Year's greetings yet." He stood up with a smile and bowed to me, "I wish Aunt Su good health and a long life." I laughed and gave him the New Year's money, "You should wish me eternal youth and beauty."

Taozi asked, "Would you like to go and see the herbs I grow?" "it is good." He carried a hoe and a bag of things, and I pretended to follow behind him with a small hoe.Walking to the edge of the field on the hillside, he began to work in the field. I thought he was applying chemical fertilizers, but when I looked carefully, I realized that what he had buried in the roots of the plants turned out to be sugar. Seeing me looking at him like a madman, he laughed, "My little recipe. Gastrodia elata likes sweetness. Put a little sugar in its roots, and the grown gastrodia elata will be big and good."

I can't understand the reason, but I know that he is a winner in the market competition.He was in charge of digging holes in the field, and I hung the sugar bag on the hoe pole, pretending to be Daiyu, and buried the flowers. While singing "The Song of Burying Flowers", I sprinkled the sugar into the "flower mound" mournfully, and then buried it. He was leaning on a hoe and couldn't straighten up laughing. Lu Licheng walked out of the woods wearing long boots, carrying a basket, and holding a sickle.I was holding a handful of sugar, pretending to be a celestial girl, and scattered flowers. When I saw him, I stood up immediately, threw the sugar into the pit, and buried it quickly.

When Taozi saw Lu Licheng, he rubbed his stomach and asked, "Uncle, is Aunt Su like this in the office?" As soon as I said that, I saw Lu Licheng's reaction, and immediately understood the answer.He looked at me sympathetically, but when he saw me making faces at him, imitating Lu Licheng's woodcutter, he immediately laughed again.Lu Licheng had no idea what he was laughing at, ignored us, and took out a hot water bottle from the basket and handed it to me.I've been outside for a long time, and I felt a little cold, so I quickly took it and held it in my arms, "Are you planning to go to Zhongnan Mountain to be a woodcutter?"

He didn't answer but instead asked, "Are you going?" I thought about it, there is no computer, no internet, there will be someone playing mahjong in the house, if I don’t hang out with him, what else can I do? "it is good." Taozi ran to the edge of the field, looked into the basket with his head, and said with a smile, "I'm going too." Three people went up the mountain, and both of them came prepared, but I was wearing a pair of leather shoes that were completely unsuitable for mountain climbing. At first, I refused to ask Lu Licheng to help me, but after I fell down twice, I obediently grabbed his hand.

Taozi climbed the mountain and still had the energy to collect wood, but I only had the energy to take care of myself and not fall.Lu Licheng usually looked the same as me, but when he got to the mountain, his side as the son of the mountain was immediately revealed. I was panting from climbing, but his face didn't even change. "where are we going?" Taozi seems to know where Lu Licheng wants to go, "You will know when you arrive." I looked at the sky and said worriedly: "How far is it? This way, when we go down the mountain, I'm afraid it will be dark."

Taozi smiled and said, "It will definitely be dark, but you don't have to be afraid, if it's a big deal, I'll ask my uncle to carry you down." After climbing for more than an hour, I finally reached the top of the mountain. I found a flat rock and sat down immediately. My throat was full of smoke, and I asked hopelessly, "Do you have any water?" Lu Licheng walked to the eaves of the cliff and called me: "Su Man, come here." I shuffled slowly to his side, and was surprised to see a clear spring the size of a well mouth at his feet.He took out half of the bamboo tube, filled it with water and handed it to me.I shook my head. Although it looked clean, I didn't have the guts to drink it casually. He took it by himself and drank it clean in one gulp.Taozi also came over to scoop up a tube, and poured it down.Lu Licheng scooped up another tube for me. I saw that they drank it all, and I was really thirsty, so I had to take it and drink it.The entrance is strangely cold and sweet, and I was sweating after climbing the mountain, so I drank it in one breath, it was really happy! After drinking the water, I looked up and down the place. The entire mountain wall was like an overturned "Au" character, and it was just at the leeward side, like a natural house. The mountains are undulating, which is simply a treasure land of geomantic omen. Taozi picked up rocks, and Lu Licheng built a bonfire. The two cooperated tacitly, obviously this was not the first time they did it. "Is this your secret stronghold?" Taozi pointed to Lu Licheng, "My uncle's back garden." After a while, a raging fire was born.I looked at the bonfire on the left, the clear spring on the right, and the rolling mountains, white clouds and green mist under my feet, and I felt that everything was too unreal. "If there's another pheasant roasting on the fire, I feel like we've traveled through time." Lu Licheng smiled and took out a chicken from the basket, "There is no pheasant, but there is a domestic chicken." I stared at him in surprise, and he took out a few sweet potatoes from the basket like a magic trick, put the potatoes by the fire, and finally a jar of sorghum wine. "Lu Licheng, I admire you so much." Taozi sighed, "My uncle still has a lot of ability! Just this, you are going to worship, if you show a few tricks, what should you do?" Lu Licheng is in charge of roasting chicken, Taozi is in charge of roasting sweet potatoes and potatoes, and I am in charge...wait for it!
