After getting up from a nap, Qiao Xihe helped Grandma Yan sort out the medicinal herbs.

In addition to growing vegetables and raising chickens, ducks and pigs, the people of the small village also make a living by selling herbs collected in the mountains.

When Qiao Xihe came back, he also did some things within his ability, such as weeding in the field, handling herbs, casting nets to catch fish by the river, or accompanying Grandma Yan up the mountain to pick herbs or wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Like a young child, Eric looked around the courtyard after chopping firewood.

Most of the young people in the village have gone out to work, and he is a young man from abroad who is good-looking and can talk, so that the villagers passing by can't help but stop and chat with him.

This made Eric blush, which was embarrassing.

And such a boy is even more liked by the villagers.

The village chief also came over on purpose, asking Lao Yan and his family, Qiao Xihe, and Eric to go to their house for dinner in the evening.

It was difficult to refuse, and Eric could only nod his head in agreement.

When the villagers finally dispersed, Eric said to Qiao Xihe, "I came here with you, but I really came to the right place." Even though they are all on the same earth, what they see and hear is completely different, which makes me think...... My horizons are still too small. ”

Qiao Xihe smiled faintly: "It's good if you like it." Then, with his head down, he continued to sort the herbs in the basket.

Eric looked at her serious appearance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned his head to help Lao Yan feed the pigs.

In the blink of an eye, in the evening, Lao Yan took Qiao Xihe and Eric to the village chief's house.

The village chief's wife had already made a table of good dishes, and it was as lively as the New Year, and when she saw them coming, she warmly beckoned them to sit down and eat.

Qiao Xihe and Eric first expressed their gratitude to the village chief and his wife, and then sat down to eat.

The village chief took out his home-made osmanthus nectar wine to entertain the guests, and Eric drank one cup and said that it was delicious, and couldn't help but drink two or three more glasses.

Qiao Xihe knew that the rice wine had a lot of strength, so he hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Be careful if you get drunk and unconscious for a while, no one can send you back, so you can only sleep on the ridge outside." ”

The village chief's wife smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, you see that my husband is strong, and it won't be a problem to carry him back for a while." ”

Eric was embarrassed, "Why are you so embarrassed to trouble the village chief?"

The village chief waved his hand, "Don't bother, you have come to our village, you are a family, and you should take care of your family." ”

Eric laughed shyly.

The village chief's wife likes this boy even more, and when she heard her husband say that he had nothing to do with Qiao Xihe, and he didn't seem to have a girlfriend, she had the heart to match him with her daughter.

"It's good that you have the heart to visit the old people in the village. She sighed and picked up the photo frame on the cabinet next to her, "Look at it, my daughter, I finally supported her until she graduated from high school, she ran out to work and study, finished college, and now what is she doing in the world's top 500 companies...... Human resource management, send us 4,000 yuan on time every month, but I don't know how to come back to see, and I don't find a son-in-law for us, but it's sad for us. ”

Grandma Yan answered: "Your girl, she is really a self-motivated person, looking at our entire village, she is the most promising, you are enjoying it now." ”

The village chief's wife smiled: "Oh, I don't want to enjoy her happiness, I just want her to find her husband as soon as possible." As she spoke, her gaze glanced at Eric, with a bit of anticipation.

Qiao Xihe knew that Eric had a deceased ex-girlfriend who was worried about him, and his relationship was currently in a mess, and he didn't know what to say, so he looked at Eric with some sympathy.

Eric covered his mouth and coughed a few times, his fair face turned red, "That...... I drank too much and my head was a little dizzy, and I wanted to go out to blow the cold wind, so you eat first, and I'll be back in a while. With that, he fled.

Qiao Xihe looked at her back and thought it was quite interesting.

The village chief's wife said: "This young man is really interesting, and he speaks Chinese so fluently, I can't tell that he grew up abroad since he was a child." ”

The more she spoke, the brighter her eyes lit up with excitement.

Qiao Xihe was eating a piece of braised pork that was fat but not greasy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and when he heard the village chief's wife say this, a strange feeling in his heart was born again.

She never felt that there was anything wrong with Eric's Chinese speaking so well, and although she had been exposed to some ABCs before, the gang would have a slight stumbling or a mysterious accent when speaking Chinese.

However, Eric did not.

Maybe it's because people yearn for China so much, so they have been talking about it since Chinese childhood......

Qiao Xihe thought of this and continued to eat.

Eric, who walked outside the house, was blown by the cold wind and felt a lot more comfortable.

He habitually took out his mobile phone and found that there was a signal, and then all kinds of text messages, missed call reminders, WeChat and so on poured in.

The phone vibrated non-stop, he glanced at the text messages, most of which were sent from the same number, and then looked at WeChat.

"Where the hell are you?"

"Where did you die?"

"I'll die if I talk back!"

“……”

Eric chuckled and was about to turn off his phone when a call came in.

He glanced at the number and hung up.

But the owner of that number called again.

"Little brother, don't you answer the phone? We have a poor mobile phone signal here, or use my landline?" The village chief, who happened to come out of convenience, saw that Eric did not react at all when he saw the vibrating mobile phone, and reminded out of kindness.

Eric turned, his slender fingers swiping across the phone screen, and the call was hung up again.

Then, the signal was gone.

It was very quiet, and the village chief saw the faint light of the mobile phone shining on Eric's handsome face, and somehow gave him a creepy feeling.

"Village chief?" called Eric as he noticed that he was stunned.

The village chief blinked a few times, and after the phone screen dimmed, he finally came back to his senses, "That...... Phone ......"

Eric smiled, "I didn't know the number called, so I didn't want to pick it up, and I didn't have to reply." ”

"Oh, that's right. The village chief smirked twice, clutched his crotch and hurried to the toilet.

Eric glanced at his phone again, and then turned it off directly, and at this time, he remembered something coldly, his face sank slightly, and he walked back to the hall quickly.

As he expected, Qiao Xihe looked at his phone, his face a little pale.
