Chapter 220: Tianshan Medicine Field
Almost with the mood of completing the task to embark on the journey, Lin Yi drove the car, all the way to the mountains and rivers, and did not feel like an arrow.
Therefore, it only took about four days to cross the Inner Mongolia Plateau along the highway, but she spent a full week on the road.
Fortunately, she had the mobile phone that Suzanne specially prepared for her, and she never lost contact along the way, so everyone was not too worried.
Knowing that she is young, she is busy with studies on weekdays and rarely has the opportunity to come out to play, and now it is a good season for flowers and willows, He Xiulian knows that she is on the road, except for telling her to pay attention to safety, and does not urge her.
The Huo family's farm is at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, not far from the border, plus going around the road to visit the scenic spots, Lin Yi drove more than 4,000 kilometers before arriving at the town near the farm.
This car is really leather, except for refueling along the way, there is nothing to worry about, it is simply a donkey friend artifact!
Lin Yi decided to go back and praise his thoughtful boyfriend.
Seeing that she had arrived in the nearest town to the farm, Lin Yi was a little worried, because she didn't know the way to the farm!
Because she doesn't speak Uyghur, the sun is blazing in the afternoon, and almost all the people who show up in that town are relatively old Uyghur fathers who can't speak Chinese, and they can't ask for directions.
When she got to the township road, there were no road signs, and she couldn't go all around the town to find people who could speak Chinese.
Think about it, you can only call and wait for someone to pick it up.
But the phone is about to run out of battery, and after making the call, she is in a hurry! I'm afraid that someone will come but can't find her!
Waiting like this, Lin Yi squatted on the dirt road with the dog until after seven o'clock, and then waited for He Xiulian and his wife, who came over with a tractor.
The dust flew all the way, the tractor stopped on the side of the road, He Xiulian smiled, and greeted from afar!
"Why don't you make a call in advance? I didn't even know you were here today! I'm still thinking about it in the morning! I'm afraid you'll turn around the grape ditch halfway! Ouch! Fortunately, the town is small, so we have to go around a lot!"
Looking at her daughter who was sunburned and her face was oily, and the dog who stuck out her tongue, He Xiulian was happy in her heart!
Counting the time, she just called and asked why she hadn't come yet, and she set off the next day!
It seems that her daughter still cares about her feelings very much, but this character is the same as her father, and she is always embarrassed to say what she thinks.
As for the TV series that was obviously lost, He Xiulian didn't mention it.
She wished her daughter had forgotten about this stubble!
"I didn't know I was here today! If I go the wrong way, I might have to set up a tent and stay up all night!
This season, setting up a tent on the grassland to watch the stars, it feels really amazing~ A few days of delay along the way, that's it!
Although the arrangement was very relaxed along the way, she often stayed in the hotel to wash, and she still felt uncomfortable when she was sweating today.
It's going to be a place soon, and it's a little exciting to think about it!
"Let's go! It's going to take two hours to get home! Abba knew you were coming, so he specially slaughtered the sheep! Auntie said to make hand-grabbed mutton rice!"
"Wow, really, you have to get home quickly!"
Lin Yi looked at the tractor, smiled and shouted, "Uncle Huo!", Huo Zong didn't twist, and directly asked her to drive He Xiulian to the front, and he drove the tractor behind.
The tractor can't be thrown here, Lin Yi knew that he arranged it very reasonably, so he smiled embarrassedly, so he pulled the car door and beckoned He Xiulian to get in the car.
Got into the driver's seat, looked at the tractor through the window, and didn't ask He Xiulian why she didn't buy a car.
She knew that the Huo family couldn't afford it, it was just not suitable.
First, in the countryside, small cars are not as practical as tractors, and second, not every household has the spare money to afford a car.
If you want to mix locally, everyone knows that it is one thing for your family to be rich, and it is another thing for you to show off your strength.
Living in such a conservative ethnic minority area and being ostracized by others will definitely be miserable.
For everything he saw, Lin Yi quietly gave his own interpretation.
Regardless of whether it is right or not, if she wants to spend a summer vacation here, she has to have snacks where she should pay attention.
"No coats, the temperature is low at night. ”
He Xiulian wanted to give her her coat to wear, and to see that she was covered in dirt, she took it back again.
"When I received the call, I was still collecting medicinal herbs in the field, and your brother came to call someone, but I didn't have time to change it. ”
"It's okay!
A person who likes to plan well before going out will not make such a low-level mistake.
Lin Yi took out a sporty long-sleeved piece from the backpack in the back seat, took out a handkerchief to wipe the oil on his face, and put on his clothes.
Seeing that He Xiulian's face was covered with soil, she took out a pack of wet tissues and came out:
"Mom, you wipe it first! There is still food in the car! Are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry! I didn't encounter anything on the road, did I?"
"I haven't encountered any bad things, but there are a lot of beautiful scenery, and it's fun on the grassland this season! I'll wash out the photos and show you!"
"The grapes in the grape ditch are ripe, and when I am busy for the past few days, I will take you to play. ”
Seeing the two of them getting into the car, the black tiger habitually jumped to the co-pilot, Lin Yi hurriedly laughed and scolded:
"Let me go and stay behind! You stupid dog! Don't look at yourself! Can you squat down here? Have you learned to compete for favor? This is our mother! You know no! Go to the back! Hurry up! Do you want me to pick you up? If you don't obey, I'll send you to the instructor! I'll find out the dog leash too! I will have children at home later, but don't scare people!"
"Uh-huh~"
The black tiger muttered dissatisfiedly, jumped to the back seat, and for the sake of the recent joy all the way, he didn't desperately defend his self-esteem.
"Hey! You're not happy anymore? Look at your height! This head! You're taller than a human child! You're blinded by a black light! You're beaten as a blind bear, and you can cry!"
The mother and daughter laughed all the way, and He Xiulian praised the black tiger again and again:
"This dog is really psychic!"
The sturdy and domineering jeep walked at a speed on the dirt road paved with gravel, and the tractor behind him was "abrupt and abrupt!".
He Xiulian was in a very good mood and gossiped with her all the way.
The family has harvested, the factory has been expanded, and my younger brother Huo Dongsheng has scored 100 points in mathematics......
Listening to these words full of fireworks and feeling her ordinary happiness, Lin Yi suddenly understood her grandmother's decision back then, and her resentment towards He Xiulian was much lighter.
If He Xiulian had been widowed in the Lin family, she would be reluctant to have children in her twenties, thinking of a dead person, in her thirties and forties?
When she is in her fifties and sixties, will she be depressed and unhappy? Will she regret the lost youth?
That's how Grandma came over, and she knew the answer was "yes."
When the time comes, the two widows of the family will definitely quarrel day and night, so it is better to separate neatly.
Therefore, she gave He Xiulian a way out, even if her granddaughter had to grow up in an environment without a father and a mother.
After all, the granddaughter's surname is Lin, and she is unlucky to join the Lin family, and she should bear the tragedy of the Lin family, and the daughter-in-law's surname is Huo, so there is no need to be too aggrieved.
At least the granddaughter's sadness can be weakened by her efforts, and the daughter-in-law's life, once she chooses the wrong one, there is no chance to start over in this life.
"Oops, hey, turn right, turn right, beware of a river ahead!"
I originally thought that Xinjiang was a desert full of loess, but when I really went deeper, I found that there are mountains and rivers, flowers and fruits, lively animals, and fish swinging their tails, as if plugged into the small Jiangnan.
Although it is hot during the day, it is cool at night, unlike any other place.
The simple courtyard of the bungalow, with lights in the distance.
When it was close, in the cheers of the children's "arrived, arrived", in the fragrant smell of mutton, Lin Yi stopped and got out of the car, only to see that the green grape trellis occupied half of the yard, and the crystal grapes were as clear as agate under the light.
At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly felt that this trip was actually not bad!
"Come and see! What gifts did my sister bring!"
With a big smile, Lin Yi opened the trunk and greeted Huo Dongsheng, a proud little boy who had just met last year!
Huo Dongsheng didn't squirm, he heard her shout, and immediately came up! A group of children rushed over after him!
Specialties from Beijing, hearts from the grasslands, and commemoration from the mountains...... I saw the joy of the group of little kids who hadn't left home yet!
And then......
Chinese, with a strong Xinjiang flavor, suddenly became a Uyghur language that she couldn't understand.
There was a whiff, what?
Lin Yi looked stunned, and saw He Xiulian laughing:
"You fake Uyghur, you can't speak! You have to study hard when you go back!"
After the policy change, the farm was privatized, and the farm became the Huo family, so although the children of the Huo family are pure Uyghurs, they have been taught since childhood and can speak Chinese.
However, the family still speaks Uyghur in private, and Lin Yi wants to live comfortably here, so he has to learn it.
He Xiulian thought, with this thing occupying her mind, she must have no heart to think about acting or anything like that during the whole summer vacation!
Then she is a mother, but there is a chance to persuade her little by little.
