Chapter 23: Qiao Lin
When I slept until the afternoon, it was already close to 18 o'clock, and it was almost time for dinner.
Find a hanger to dry the clothes washed in the washing machine, Yao Wei's mother will make the meal, and everyone will have dinner together.
In the summer, it gets dark late, around 20 o'clock.
After dinner, Wei Mingrang proposed to go out for a walk, take a walk and take a look, in fact, he wanted to go upstream along the tributary of the Linxi River, and try to find the old house of Yao Qiaolin's family.
Because Wei Mingrang remembered that his wife said that her family's original old house was by the tributary river.
As a result, before Wei Ming could suggest the next walking route, cousin Liu Jiayi said: "It's okay, now the sun is about to set, and it's just shady." Why don't I take you to a boat ride in the river?"
Wei Mingrang was about to say that he didn't bother his cousin, Yao Wei and Yao Jianxing, father and son, nodded again and again, saying that it was too hot in summer, and it was just cool to play on the river on the boat, Hu Yongjun, Liu Jiaqiang, and Liu Jiahui also nodded yes.
Seeing this, Wei Mingrang, who didn't dare to behave too abnormally, could only shut up, go with the flow, and go on a boat with everyone.
However, the fourth aunt was too old, so she didn't go, but set up a dragon gate formation with Yao Wei's mother, the two female in-laws.
Wei Mingrang, Hu Yongjun, Liu Jiaqiang, Liu Jiahui, and Liu Jiayi went out from the backyard door of Yao Wei's house and went down the stone ladder to the river embankment.
Although it is not yet the era when the future generations talk about haze and countless people yearn for green mountains and clear waters, everyone can still distinguish the quality of the environment.
The clear blue sky and white clouds, the majestic and steep mountains, the dense woods, and the occasional flock of birds flying up are quite pleasant.
The Linxi River, which is nearly 100 meters wide, is turquoise and clear, and occasionally you can see a school of fish swimming in the water, which makes people feel very comfortable.
However, in her previous life, Yao Qiaolin had told Wei Mingrang that the deepest part of the river was nearly 100 meters deep, but the bottom of the river could not be seen.
Blue sky and white clouds, green waters and green mountains, living in such an environment, if you are not short of money, you will undoubtedly live for a few more years.
Yao Qiaolin's grandfather, who was in his 90s in 2018, was still very tough, living in a room alone and being able to cook and eat by himself.
Every time Wei Mingrang and Yao Qiaolin went back to Linxi River, they had to go to see their grandfather.
In my previous life, a sentence widely circulated on the Internet was: "My ideal is to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy life in the countryside with clear water and blue sky, as long as there is a thatched hut, a pot of tea, and a deposit of 100 million, it is enough!"
It's ridiculous, but it's really the ultimate dream for many people.
In his previous life, Wei Mingrang could only fantasize, but in this life, he had this opportunity to use the reborn full-handed Wang Bang to help himself and his relatives do this.
In advance, he promoted Hu Yongjun, the third elder cousin, to be the contractor and persuaded his cousin's family to give up investing in Linxihe's real estate, all of which Wei Mingrang quietly improved the lives of his relatives.
……
Liu Jiayi herself can't drive a boat, and there is no boat at home.
When they arrived at the river beach, they found a manned fishing boat, and Liu Jiayi knew the boatman.
After saying a few words, let Wei Mingrang and others get on the boat and play on the boat together.
Liu Jiahui looked at the rickety fishing boat and was a little afraid to get on.
Wei Ming let him take a boat on the Linxi River a few times in his previous life, but his wife Yao Qiaolin supported him, but he was not afraid, stepped up from the river beach, and then stretched out his hand to let the two cousins get on the boat.
Holding Wei Mingrang's hand, Liu Jiahui and Liu Jiayi got on the boat.
When Liu Jiahui stepped on the side of the boat, the fishing boat shook and scared her into screaming. Fortunately, Wei Ming pulled it, otherwise it would have been possible to fall into the water.
As for Hu Yongjun and Liu Jiaqiang, two manly men, they don't need Wei Mingrang, the two of them learned from Wei Mingrang and stepped forward in one step.
The river was relatively calm, and after everyone had found a place to sit down, the boatman and uncle stood at the stern of the boat, rowing with a pole to take everyone upstream.
On the boat, everyone followed the progress of the fishing boat, stretched out their hands to touch the warm river water, and talked about the green water and blue sky here, full of interest.
When passing by the mouth of the tributary Tributary Three Forks, we saw many adult men swimming and playing in the shallow tributary river, and a few middle-aged women washing clothes by the river.
However, there are no young girls.
Wei Mingrang's idea of looking forward to Yao Qiaolin swimming in the river and then taking a look at it fell through.
Actually, it's impossible to think about it.
This is not a public pool in a big city, nor is it an open beach along the coast, this is a remote village in the central and western provinces.
There are so many young men swimming naked in the river, and the older women may not care, and the little girls will not play with them.
……
Paddled across the mouth of the Three Forks, the boat continued to row upstream.
After paddling for more than 200 meters, the river turned to the left, and the boatman and uncle also adjusted the direction of the boat and turned to the left near the left bank.
As a result, as soon as I turned the corner, I saw that on the shore not far behind the bend, three girls jumped into the river wearing clothes of different colors, which startled Wei Mingrang and the others.
But everyone only saw the moment they entered the water, and they didn't see people clearly.
However, looking at their posture when they enter the water, they are not jumping into the river, but swimming.
Sure enough, one of the girls did not dive, and after swimming twice in the water, she turned her head and saw the fishing boat going up, and a boatload of people on the fishing boat, and swam back to the shore in embarrassment.
She wasn't wearing a swimsuit, but she was definitely too embarrassed to see anyone when she was wet.
Therefore, she did not go ashore after swimming back to the shore, but stood in a shallow place, drowning her neck with water, and greeted Liu Jiayi on the boat: "Third Sister Liu, you are playing on the boat?"
Liu Jiayi smiled: "Yes, these are a few relatives from my hometown of Guizhou. Xiaolan, you are swimming here, I just saw that there are two little girls diving, who are they?"
It turned out that this Xiaolan was also a girl from someone on Linxihe Street and knew Liu Jiayi.
Xiaolan was about to answer, when a sudden commotion appeared more than 10 meters in front of the boat, and the head of a girl in red clothes popped up.
The boatman's uncle suddenly shouted, "Lin Yan, why are you here?
It turned out that the girl who had just emerged was the daughter of the boatman's uncle.
Lin Yan was competing with her girlfriend to see who could dive farther, and when she saw that there seemed to be a boat on the river in front of her, she didn't continue to dive and floated to the surface.
Unexpectedly, before the water droplets in front of me were wiped off, I heard my father's voice. Lin Yan was startled, and looked at it, it was not her own boat, it was her father who supported the pole on the boat.
Lin Yan stuck out her tongue, said hello to Liu Jiayi, and then said to his father: "It's too hot, I'll go out with Xiaolan and Qiaolin to swim for a while, and I'll go back immediately." ”
After speaking, Lin Yan turned around and swam to the shore.
And Wei Mingrang, at this time, his mind was full of the words "Qiaolin" that Lin Yan had just mentioned.
