The simplicity of the people in the mountains is something that Chao Changchang has never experienced before.

Chao Yi was "cornered", and in the month when he fled back to the mountain village to recuperate, the people in the village were still as enthusiastic as when they saw him every year during Qingming.

Worse than.

In the past 12 years, this small mountain village with only twenty or thirty households has produced a total of three college students, all of whom have gone to very good schools, and if nothing else, there will be two more this year.

This is more than before Grandpa Chao returned to his roots, counting from the college entrance examination, there are more college students in the village.

The people in the mountain village attributed this incident to the fact that there was a "rookie" in their village.

The "affectionate name" of the people here is a bit strange, and they like to add a name after the last word of the name.

If there were no "Liuzi" to build the road, the children in the village would have to walk 20 kilometers back and forth to school every day.

If there was no "Liuzi" to build Hope Primary School, even if you walk 20 kilometers of mountain roads every day, there would be no serious schools and teachers.

Although he was discharged from the hospital, he still needs bed rest.

The enthusiasm of the people in the village one by one, they took turns cooking from house to house and sent it over.

The meat that is usually taken out during the New Year is put as if it didn't cost money.

There are also all kinds of big bone broth pig's trotters that complement the shape.

The development of China's basic network is proud of the world, and there is no such thing as a remote mountain village that has not watched the news, and I don't know that Chao Yi is no longer the richest man.

But the gratitude of the people in the village is real, just like every time you deliver rice, you will press the rice more than rice cakes.

Chao Changchang didn't understand at first, why Chao Yiyi didn't want to live in Lu Jingshuo's house, so far away, with serious injuries not healed, and still running up the mountain.

Think about the scene when Shui Miaomiao "sent" him to leave school, and then look at the people in the village every day, changing their tricks to deliver food to this impoverished family.

There was no one with the slightest reluctance on his face.

The people in the village spontaneously arranged a shift, three meals a day, which day, which meal was arranged clearly.

There are a few families close to each other, and when breakfast is ready, I thought about coming over and asking Chao Changchang's family if they had eaten.

At this time, the household that arranged to deliver the meal that day would be the same as being robbed of the order in the company: "It's been more than ten years, and I finally had the opportunity to make breakfast for Liuzi, you have nothing to do here." ”

It's not that the people in the village don't know that the tide class has changed from the richest man to the first loser in this mountain village, but no matter how the outside world changes, the tide class is back, and he is still the "liuzi" who changed the fate of the whole village.

Chao Changchang was amazed by the enthusiasm of the families here, and even more amazed by their memories.

He had been here once before, twelve years ago, at the age of six. I didn't stay for a few days.

But in such a short time, almost every neighbor who came to deliver food could tell some stories about the "eldest son" when he was a child.

Muraguchi Juan's aunt said: "Our eldest son is so old now, and the meeting is still a small one. ”

The aunt of the Rong family at the end of the village said: "The eldest son was very smart when he was a child, and he had finer skin and tender meat than the girls in our village. ”

......

Except for "intestines", which is more difficult to accept than "liuzi", every other word is like the warm sun in winter.

At this moment, Chao Changchang seemed to understand why Dad came here.

Half of the dozens of families in the village have the surname Chao.

The aunt of the Li family in Banpo came to deliver the meal, and the first sentence of the tide Changchang had more characteristics than the previous aunts: "The eldest son fell at our place last time, and Lizi was next to you at the time, and he didn't even pull you, and he was hung and beaten by his father for three days." ”

Lizi, Chao Dali, when Chao Chang was six years old, Chao Dali was only five years old, Chao Changchang was not used to walking on the mountain road and fell, and he could even blame the five-year-old Chao Dali.

The aunt of the Li family also said that for many years after that, whenever Chao Dali made his father unhappy, his father would use this reason to whip him.

The people in the village don't ask logic about the maintenance of Chaochangchang's family at all, and they just ask [I'm happy].

Chao Changchang never thought that the fall he fell twelve years ago would cause a "childhood haze" to a boy who was one year younger than him.

What's even more exaggerated is that the boy who "grew up in the haze" of him actually regarded the fall he witnessed back then as the fate of himself and the family that changed the fate of this mountain village.

As soon as he heard that Chao Changchang had come to the small mountain village, he immediately "rushed" back desperately.

Chao Dali attends high school in the town, and his grades are not bad, and he is one of two college students that this mountain village may produce this year.

Before there were no "liuzi", the children in the village had to walk 10 kilometers of mountain roads to go to primary school, 20 kilometers back and forth, and 30 kilometers to go to junior high school.

If you have to go to the town to go to high school after graduating from junior high school, it will be a difficult and dangerous situation.

It's so hard that you can come back at most once a semester.

After the tide class returned to his roots with the old man, the village was opened to roads and cars, and the living standards of every household were improved.

Now the children who are in high school in the town, as long as they want, come back for a day on the weekend, it is not a problem.

On the first Saturday when Chao Changchang's family returned to the mountain village, Lizi came back from the town's high school, and he called Chao Changchang's liver tremor with a mouthful.

Chao Changchang asked him to change his name, Chao Dali thought for a long time, and replaced "intestines" with "second chief".

The "second eldest brother" who opened and closed his mouth screamed for a long time, not only the liver trembled, but even the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys trembled together.

Chao Changchang doesn't like the title of the second chief very much, except for the last "farewell", Shui Miaomiao called him that.

Seven waters, two long, even the same strokes of the couple's nickname.

......

"Didn't I tell you that my name is not called Erchang?" My name is pronounced cháng zhǎng, tide cháng zhǎng, homonym and tongfalse," Chao Changchang didn't know how to explain how to pronounce his name before, if it weren't for Erchang's sound a little heartbroken now, he would definitely not be too lazy to explain it vigorously with Chao, "The name is derived from a couplet, the first long is usual, and the second is long and the second is long. The tide is long and long, which means that the tide often rises. ”

"Got it, second eldest brother. Chao nodded vigorously.

Chao Da Tu [humbly promised not to change] to know, and Chao Changchang could only accept it helplessly.

So be it.

Maybe.

Call it a few more times, and it will be desensitized.

Chao Chang thought for a long time, Chao Dali is now in his third year of high school, busy preparing for the college entrance examination, and there will not be many opportunities to come back on the weekend.

Who knew that every Saturday at noon every week since then, the tide would hear the "Second eldest brother" that began to float from the middle of the hill, echoing in the air. ”

I have already explained the problem of the title to Chao vigorously twice, and Chao Chang didn't want to explain the third time, so he directly changed to a more meaningful topic, "You don't prepare for the college entrance examination at school, and you run into the mountains every day, is this because your score is too high?"

It is not easy to produce a college student in a remote mountain village.

Chao Changchang dropped out of school because he was a hopeless old man.

The more this is the case, the more hopeless people will be seen, and they will give up casually.

He wasn't like that before.

"Second eldest brother, I came back this time because I have something very important to ask you for. "As soon as the tide comes over, he pulls the long wrist of the tide, the kind that can't be shaken off.

The first time Chao Dali saw Chao Changchang, he wanted to ask him for help, but the two didn't know each other very well at that time, and Chao Dali didn't have to talk about it.

"Let's listen and see what I can do for you. "Chao Changchang is laughing at himself, coming to this mountain village, he has been receiving help, and he hasn't helped much.

"I want to confess to Juanzi, you are from the city, you must have the experience to know how to confess. "Chao Dali doesn't know where the fake news came from.

“......”

A series of ellipses floated through Chaochang's heart, and there was an inevitable connection between those who came from the city and those who knew how to confess?

He has grown so big, and the confession scene has indeed appeared many times, but it is all the experience of being confessed, and he has never taken the initiative to chase anyone.

Chao Changchang didn't speak, and he couldn't stop Chao Dali's endless desire to express: "Juanzi, you know, it's the daughter of Aunt Juan at the entrance of the village, Chao Shijuan." It's beautiful, and it's good to study. ”

The villagers call their mother by the last word of the first child's name.

"Your classmates?" Chao Changchang had no idea about the people in the village, and the ones he knew the most were the "aunts" who took turns to deliver meals to their families, and the elementary school students who went to school at Hope Primary School and would come back every day.

Chao Changchang has an impression of the name Chao Shijuan, probably which aunt told him that there are very likely to be two college students in the village today, Chao Dali and Chao Shijuan.

"People and girls are going to take the college entrance examination, what are you making trouble at this time?" Chao Changchang glanced at Chao Dali a little speechlessly, and refused to provide any help very indifferently, "Bear with it." ”

Thinking of his young and frivolous self, he gave up Harvard and Yale without blinking his eyebrows, and Chao Changchang couldn't breathe in his heart.

He has always been romantic, and in the past, he must have instigated the tide to confess vigorously without thinking for a second.

In the first eighteen years of his life, Chao Changchang didn't know what realism was, and he never thought that he would "educate" the little boy who was just starting to fall in love, even if he liked it, he had to endure it.

"If Juanzi is the college entrance examination, I will definitely not make trouble. She didn't want to take the test. Chao Dali depressedly pulled out a large handful of innocent weeds, "Juanzi also has two younger brothers, and the results are okay." Her mother's meaning was to let her go out to work after graduating from high school. I'm afraid that Juanzi will just agree. ”

"Patriarchal?" Chao Changchang was a little surprised, but more of it was still unclear.

Aunt Juan can take care of their troubled family, why can't she let her daughter go to college?

"It's not all like this in our rural areas, Juanzi's family is already calculated, and some in the next village don't even allow girls to go to high school. ”

"I can't help what you're talking about. When did Tide Chang face such a question, he was a little surprised and asked, "What makes you think I can change the customs here?"

"No...... That was not what I meant. Chao Dali was a little anxious, and said a bunch of things without any logic:

"Second eldest brother, I originally wanted to confess to Juanzi after the college entrance examination. ”

"We grew up together, and I knew that she had always treated me as a brother, and I was afraid that I would be rejected and not even be a brother. ”

"Now, if I don't say it, she might actually go to work. ”

"In elementary school and junior high school, she helped me with my homework, and her grades were better than mine, what a pity for her. ”

"I didn't mean to look down on part-time jobs, that is, if I confess successfully, even if she doesn't go to college, she can at least go to the city where I study to work, so that we can still be together, don't you say?"

"I want to give it a try, she's willing to go to university with me, that's the best, she doesn't want to, at least it's a city. ”

"I'm not afraid of anything, I'm afraid that in the end, I won't even have to be a friend, and I don't know if Juanzi likes me or not. ”

"I've been thinking about it for almost a month, and I don't know what to do when I want to break my head?"

"Second eldest brother, you are from the city, you must have a lot of ways. ”

With innocent and expectant, eager and hopeful eyes, Chao Dali is extremely reverently waiting for Chao Chang to become his guiding light.

Chao Dali probably has some misunderstanding about the city.

I don't know anything about the length of the tide.

Chao Chang looked at Chao Dali's dark circles under his eyes, which were not much better than his own.

It's really hard for Aunt Li, I feel that her son is tired of studying.

Obviously, Chao Dali regarded him, a gentleman from the city, as the last straw.

The heat in Chao Dali's eyes and the blind worship in his belief made the long list of ellipses that had floated through Chao Changchang's heart have a tendency to extend infinitely.

Obviously he should have refused, he should have told Chao Dali that he had found the wrong straw, and when the words came to his mouth, Chao Changchang couldn't say anything.

After being silent for a long time, Chao Changchang suddenly came with a sentence without a beginning or an end: "Did you bring paper and pen with you when you came back from school?"

"Bring, bringing. I didn't even go home, so I came straight to you. Chao Dali hurriedly took out the paper and pen from the schoolbag, handed it to Chao Changchang, and roared with relief, "Second eldest brother, give!"

Chao Changchang tore a piece of paper from Chao Dali's notebook, and wrote a very simple sentence in English like the kind of handwritten love letters used in foreign classical masterpieces and movies, and wrote a very simple sentence in English on it:

【Do you want to have a date with me?】

Chao Chang handed the note to Chao Dali: "Can you understand this sentence?"

"I can understand it, these are all words that I learned in the first year of junior high school. Chao Dali took the note.

"Do you know what that means?"

"Yes, date. "Chao Dali said there was no pressure.

"What else?" it is rare for the tide to speak in such a methodical way.

"And ...... date...... In addition to the date, there is also a date!Second eldest brother, ask me so directly if you want to go on a date, if it doesn't work out, won't you still have no friends in the end? How can this guarantee that nothing goes wrong?!" Chao reacted vigorously and was taken aback.

"Of course you can't just have a note, you put an envelope in the note, and put two dates in it. That's it. ”

"What's the matter?" Chao Dali is looking for straw, not a magic stick.

"If the Juanzi you like also likes you, then everyone will be happy, you go to college together, or go to the same city. ”

"And what if she doesn't like it?"

"You just tell her, let her not get me wrong, you just want to invite her to eat a date. "Tide Chang Chang very casually gave the final solution.

"How can this work! Isn't this nonsense?" Chao Dali was quite disappointed, how to save his life from the straw that had broken before he could catch it?

"Why can't this work? You take this dictionary and look it up, and the English of jujube is also date, which is the same as date and date. You confess that there are two dates in the letter, do you want to have a date with me, isn't it just asking her if she wants to eat a date with you? What else does it mean?"

"That's it!" Chao Dali, who was still at a low point in his life just now, was so excited that he couldn't do it, "like that...... Juanzi wants to agree, the jujube is sweet and sweet, if she doesn't agree, the jujube is the jujube. My teacher wants to teach English like this, and I promise to get the first place every year!"

"It's not too late for you to take the first place, I wish you all the best in your confession. "Chao Chang has been in an international school for so many years, and it is the first time that he has applied what he has learned in such an alternative way.

"By all means, by all means, I will have you eat date when I turn around. ”

"I'm with you...... I don't dare to think about this picture, so forget it......"

Chao Changchang's refusal was not finished, and Chao Dali ran away.

Chao Changchang has never worked so hard to do psychological counseling for a student who is about to take the college entrance examination, and he has never found out that he is such a soft-hearted person.

Is it that he has hidden attributes, or is there some magic in this mountain village?
