When the wind rises, with his back to the valley, he goes alone to listen to the sound of the lark. Fang Ning always felt that the artistic conception of this sentence was very beautiful, but when he really went to the valley, he realized that there was often a gap between dreams and reality. In the face of the whistling wind, let alone the larks, not even a bird can be seen.

After taking a mouthful of cold wind, Fang Ning came down from the mountain with a disgraced face.

Next to the kitchen stove there is a stove for boiling water, the iron shelf is covered with limescale, the bottom of the red copper kettle is steaming, and a large amount of water vapor is drilled up the bamboo pole hook into the chimney to be discharged.

Cheng Xi sat on a small stool around the fire, the wall of the stove reflected her little face red, her clear eyes drooped, and she concentrated on pulling out dry firewood from the bundled firewood next to her, her white hand folded slightly, clicked into a piece, and threw it into the stove, making the fire a little bigger.

The little grandmother got up and picked up the copper kettle, poured the boiling water into the boiling water bottle, and added another pot of cold water to boil, ready to be used to make hot water to remove chicken feathers. In order to keep Fang Ning and the two of them for dinner, the master deliberately went to the chicken coop in the backyard to catch a hen and came back, and when it was still laying eggs, Cheng Xi felt that it was a pity to kill it, but the master said that it was not in the way, so she didn't say much.

Cheng Xi can cook, and it is very delicious, but when he first came here, it is not easy to say that he will cook by himself, so he can only help his little grandmother, pick a bean, wash cabbage and spinach, and occasionally cheer with his little grandmother, and inquire about Fang Ning's troubles when he was a child, the two talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Fang Ning came back, and by the way, he didn't know which piece of ground he had dug out of the white radish, and with fresh soil, he washed it with warm water and threw it into the vegetable pot, so he shook his body and felt a little cold, so he went to the stove to bake the fire, rubbed his hands, and waited until his body temperature returned to the normal temperature, and his body was warm.

"Where have you gone? I haven't seen you for most of the day. Cheng Xi walked over and squeezed his palm.

Fang Ning's palm was slightly numb when her fingers touched it, and when her palm warmed up a little, she pointed to the valley and said, "I originally wanted to go to the valley to see the larks, but I didn't see anything, and I drank the wind in my stomach." ”

Cheng Xi knocked on his head and said, "It's winter, and the birds are flying to the south, it's really strange that you can see it." ”

"Didn't I think of it for a while!" Fang Ning's old face darkened.

Cheng Xi didn't bother to talk to him, and a pair of soft hands lightly peeled four or five preserved eggs.

Fang Ning got up and looked at the time, it was only five o'clock, but the sky was already dark, calculated the time, and prepared to go back after dinner.

When it was time for dinner, the master rode a motorcycle to pick up Qingping and Baoping, and they were also in the fourth grade of primary school. After the primary school in the village retreated from Fang Zhongzhong, the floating teacher was unable to support himself, and was finally transferred back to the town to teach, so the primary school was completely abandoned, and these primary school students could only go to Yunzhezhuang to study in primary school, and the older children came back fine, and the younger ones were not safe to walk two kilometers of mountain roads, so they either boarded in the school or picked up by their parents.

Tonight's main dish is stewed chicken soup, the pressure cooker has been stewed for nearly an hour, the flesh and bones are stewed, and angelica and other medicinal materials are put in the soup, which is very nourishing to the body.

The master took out the wine and poured a glass, Fang Ning wanted to drive back, he didn't drink, he drank slowly alone, chatting with Fang Ning while eating, occasionally Cheng Xi also interjected the topic, livened up the atmosphere, ate a meal for half an hour, and drank tea to rest, at this time, the time was almost half past seven.

The night is dark.

The little grandmother had already picked a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden and asked Fang Ning to take them back to her grandparents, but Fang Ning was not polite, so she packed them and took them away.

In the end, when it was time to change back, the master mysteriously beckoned Cheng Xi to come over and stuffed a red envelope into her.

Cheng Xi was a little dazed, is it a custom here to give out red envelopes?

"It's okay for you to hold it. Fang Ning nodded at her.

So Cheng Xi took the red envelope and said thank you, the little master and the little grandmother were very happy, their eyebrows were smiling, and the two little uncles got in and out of the door, and they also laughed.

On the way down the mountain, it was a little cold.

Fang Ning walked among them, looked up by chance, and found that the moon was very round tonight, the moon was clear and bright, white and scattered.

Cheng Xi guessed what Fang Ning was thinking and said, "It's almost fifteen." ”

Fang Ning closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head sideways, and said to her, "Have you heard the name Su Xiaoxiao?"

"Huh?" Cheng Xi frowned, vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, after thinking about it for a while, he finally turned over something in the depths of his memory, and said with some uncertainty, "I seem to have heard this name, and I mentioned it again at a friend of mine." ”

Fang Ning was slightly stunned, his breath was suffocated, and his heart couldn't help but thump, he just heard the boy shouting Su Xiaoxiao in his dream, is there really this person?

In fact, he couldn't remember the girl in his dream, but he had a vague understanding of her experience.

"What's your friend's name?"

"Yu Xiaoban. She said

"Sure enough, there is this name..."Fang Ning whispered, from the boy's point of view, he did remember that Su Xiaoxiao had two friends, named Li Xiaolei and Yu Xiaoban.

"Have you heard of this too?" glanced at Fang Ning a little strangely, not knowing how he knew the name.

"No, no, no. Fang Ning was embarrassed.

"Oh. Cheng Xi saw that Fang Ning seemed to be hiding a secret, he didn't say it, and she wouldn't ask, so she changed the topic, "I have gained a lot today, I am very happy, thank you." ”

Fang Ning scratched his head, "It's good to be happy." ”

"Hmm. ”

The descent ended in a short chat, and the car was parked on the side of the road, unattended.

The old village chief Fang Hanmin turned on the lights in the yard, came out to take a look at the situation, and after knowing that it was Fang Ning, he also said hello, and his attitude was quite kind, and now he has also retreated, his pelvis has not been good, and when it rains, he has all kinds of pain, and he has been tormented by illness for almost two years, and he has not looked down on anything.

"Grandpa Han, then let's go first!" Fang Ning waved goodbye.

"Well, stay safe on the road, be careful all the way!"

"Yes. Fang Ning turned on the headlights, twisted the key to start the car, and succeeded in starting it for the first time, slightly relieved, this car was still competitive, and he didn't give him a moth.

The road is not easy to walk, there are no street lights, so I walk very slowly, and when Fang Ning returns to the county seat, it is already half past eight.

Fortunately, Cheng Xi told her sister during the day that she would come back at night, so Cheng Ying made a phone call and learned that she was not very worried after learning that she was on the way back.

As for Fang Ning, not to mention, the master had already privately reported that he had come to his hometown, and he also brought a well-behaved girl from Peugeot, and it was estimated that when he returned home, he would be tortured by his grandparents.
