“...... So Lian Ge, that old lady doesn't have any grievances, right, that ...... What is the old lady's obsession?"

"Probably a family reunion dinner together. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Lian Ge woke up at a house where he was staying overnight and made a video call with Gu Xiaoying.

Glancing at the sunlight seeping through the window of the room, Lian Ge replied calmly.

Listening to Lian Ge's words, Gu Xiaoying was slightly silent and nodded,

"It's ......"

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoying shook her head again and didn't say any more,

"Lian Ge, what do you say if our children are so unfilial in the future?"

Gu Xiaoying said, turning over on the bed,

"Pump it with a stick. Lian Ge smiled and said.

"That's not good. Gu Xiaoying sat up, "Why don't you use bamboo, the bamboo is broken, it should hurt a little." ”

"It's okay......" Lian Ge smiled and cooperated,

......

"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"

I talked to Gu Xiaoying casually for a while, and after the call ended, the door was knocked on from the outside.

"Little brother, there are dumplings cooked at home, do you want to get up and eat some?"

The knock stopped, and a middle-aged man's voice rang through the door.

"Squeak...... Squeak squeak. ”

On the side, the little mouse lying on the side heard the sound, and instantly jumped back onto Lian Ge's shoulder, stood on his forelimbs, and shouted twice at Lian Ge.

Lian Ge turned his gaze, looked at the little mouse and couldn't help but smile,

"Okay. ”

Putting the phone back in his pocket, he stood up and opened the door.

“...... I don't know, can I give some to this little mouse too. ”

At the door of the room, there was a middle-aged man, slightly bent over, with rough skin on his face, smiling,

Hearing Lian Ge's words, he turned his head to look at the mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, and nodded,

"No problem, little brother. ”

......

A moment later, in the hall, at the dining table.

The middle-aged man's wife took a bowl of boiled dumplings and put them on the table in front of Lian Ge, and also took a plate, filled the dumplings for the mouse and put them on the ground next to him.

After watching his wife finish this, the middle-aged man didn't serve dumplings, so he sat opposite Lian Ge and watched with a smile,

"Little brother, you can taste it, there is nothing to entertain, only the dumplings made by yourself in this house. ”

Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man when he heard the sound, picked up the chopsticks, and tasted it.

"Little brother, how does it taste, is it still to taste?" the middle-aged man asked aloud.

"It's good. ”

"It's good to have a good taste, it's good to have a good taste......," the middle-aged man smiled, still sitting in his seat, looking at Lian Ge and said.

After holding the chopsticks and eating a dumpling, Lian Ge put down the chopsticks again.

Turning his head to look at the mouse who was eating dumplings around the plate, Lian Ge turned his gaze back to the middle-aged man across the table,

"Thank you, brother, for your convenience, let me stay overnight for one night, bother. Looking at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man.

"Little brother, you are so polite. The middle-aged man said, reached out and took the banknote, put it in his pocket, and the smile on his face became a little richer.

"If you are away from home, who doesn't have an inconvenient time, you say yes, just treat it as your own home, don't be so polite, you can stay for a few days if you want to. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man, picked up the chopsticks again, and shook his head slightly while eating the dumplings in the bowl,

"No need, it's enough to bother for one night, so I won't bother. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he didn't hold it anymore, and nodded,

"That's okay, then don't delay your trip, little brother. ”

As the middle-aged man spoke, he paused, and continued,

"Little brother, if you want to go to the city, go out of the village, go in that direction is the city, and there is a bus to the city that also walks that way, and one will come every half an hour. ”

Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded.

"Then little brother, you eat slowly, and I'm going to have breakfast too. ”

With that, the middle-aged man stood up, left the table with a smile, and walked towards the kitchen.

......

"Hey, with the things I saved before, the girl's living expenses for the past two weeks should be enough......"

"Enough is enough, but there is no money at home......"

"Hey, it's not that there is no rice at home, there are vegetables in the field, you can live tightly, the girl costs money for everything outside, so let's give it to her tightly......"

"That's ...... I'll go and make you a bowl of noodles, you'll have to work for a while, and if you don't eat something in the morning, you won't be able to do it. ”

Listening to the whispered exchange from the kitchen behind him, Lian Ge smiled slightly and continued to eat the dumplings in the bowl.

......

After breakfast, Lian Ge didn't stay long, and after saying hello to the family, he stepped straight out of the family's house.

Along the village road, continuing upward, Lian Ge left the village where he had stayed overnight and re-embarked on the winding road that surrounded the hill and stretched out of the mountain.

The morning sun shone on the dense foliage of the mountain forest, steaming with the dew left over from last night.

Looking at the scenery of the mountains and forests, Lian Ge walked forward along the winding road without hurry.

......

With the breeze blowing in the forest from time to time, a man and a mouse gradually walked away along the winding mountain road, and the mountains gradually approached and gradually moved away.

From time to time, a few pedestrians passed by, or old people carrying baskets on their backs, or middle-aged people carrying hoes, preparing to go to the terraces.

As the mountains were swept by, the view gradually widened, the road stopped winding, and the pedestrians and vehicles passed by.

......

Finally, after spending three or four hours, Lian Ge stepped out of the mountains and forests, and the hustle and bustle of the city appeared not far in front of him.

The buildings along the road are becoming taller and taller, and the road is constantly passing by vehicles entering and leaving the city.

On the side of the road, looking at the bustling and noisy city scene, Lian Ge paused slightly,

I glanced at the banner that was pulled up on the only road leading to the bustling city, "Welcome to Uegaya"

Retracting his gaze and glancing at the mouse squatting on his shoulder, Lian Ge moved his steps again and walked straight towards the city.

......

Subsequently, the prosperity and hustle and bustle gradually approached, and the mountains and forests behind him gradually drifted away.

“...... Brother, do you want to take a car?"

"Apple is ten dollars and three pounds......"

At the intersection into the city, some vehicles gather to greet passengers, and some itinerant vendors also stop on the side of the road, shouting.

Facing this noisy sound, Lian Ge stepped into the city of Shanggu.

Glancing at the pedestrians in the city, or the old people walking in the shade of the roadside, Lian Ge retracted his gaze,

"Let's go. ”

As he spoke, Lian Ge moved his steps again, chose a random direction, and walked along the street without hurrying forward.

“...... Hey, it's good for you to bring a daughter, it's like me, with a son, and when I pay off the mortgage myself, I have to save for him for a down payment. ”

“...... Mom, it's okay, what can I do...... I just miss you, give you a call...... The money is enough, the salary is enough for me to spend, you don't have to pay me...... Okay, I'll hang up if I have something. ”

“...... It was okay when I was young, but now that I am older, I am afraid that I will receive a call from my parents at home at night...... Well, who's to say it's not. ”

Then, the words of the pedestrians around came from time to time with the breeze blowing, or with children, parents walking around, or young people wearing a somewhat wrinkled suit, after ending the phone, stunned for a moment, and then hurried and left quickly.

As Lian Ge continues to move forward,

All kinds of beings, happy or sad, like the bustling and lively city, continue to pass by Lian Ge's side.
