382. Earthquake?
Indeed, the girls who came out of the mountains did not speak in a soft-voiced voice like those in the city, but they always had loud and crisp voices, as hearty and pungent as their personalities.
"Oh! Xiaomei squatted down in front of the two of them, twisted up two round dates with one hand and threw them into her mouth, chewed them with a click, and said in her mouth: "Miss Jin, Mr. Pei hasn't woken up yet?"
"He's not in good health, it's a blessing to be able to fall asleep," Jin Xiaoyi said, "I'll go to the kitchen to serve some food for Mr. Pei later, he doesn't like to join in the fun." By the way, Xiaomei, do you have any used dishes and chopsticks at your sister-in-law's house?"
Xiaomei's eyes widened in disbelief: "Oh, do you still need unused dishes and chopsticks?" Then I have to ask my sister-in-law, we mountain people, but we don't pay so much attention to it......
"Pei always has a habit of cleanliness and doesn't like to use things that others have used," Jin Xiaoyi explained apologetically, "I'm sorry for you, Xiaomei." ”
"No trouble, no trouble," Xiao Mei waved her hand again and again, "Miss Jin, you are too polite, I'll go ask my sister-in-law." There should be ...... at home."
"Good. Jin Xiaoyi smiled, turned her head and saw Tang Xiao staring at her, she couldn't help touching her face and said, "What's the matter, Xiaoxiao, is there anything on my face?"
"Nope. Tang Xiao shook his head and said with a serious face: "I just think that your careful and considerate appearance really looks like a good wife and mother." ”
Jin Xiaoyi smiled: "Laugh, don't laugh at me." ”
"How can you laugh at you, it's true. Tang Xiao looked at the closed door of the guest room where Pei Yuansheng was sleeping, leaned into Jin Xiaoyi's ear and said, "If Pei Yuansheng can marry you, it will be his blessing." ”
Jin Xiaoyi instantly blushed: "Xiaoxiao, what are you talking nonsense......
Tang smiled and looked at Jin Xiaoyi, who blushed and became extremely cute: "Come on, Xiaoyi." Maybe in the future, Cheng Yeol and I will have a chance to attend your wedding?"
Jin Xiaoyi's delicately made face became even redder: "Okay, smile, stop teasing me......"
Tang Xiao really didn't tease her anymore, but pulled her, and the two of them walked towards the kitchen together.
The kitchen was already fragrant with meat, and I didn't know what condiments Xiaomei's sister-in-law put in the pot, and the fresh fragrance made people swallow their mouths.
Xiaomei's sister-in-law heard that Pei Yuansheng was not in good health, so she hurriedly scooped a big bowl of soup from the pot, and deliberately picked out the two chicken thighs in the pot and put them in the bowl.
As Jin Xiaoyi expected, Pei Yuansheng didn't say anything when he saw this big bowl of chicken, only frowned slightly, and then asked Jin Xiaoyi to take another bowl.
He picked out all the meat in the bowl, and he only drank the rest of the soup, Jin Xiaoyi said helplessly: "Mr. Pei, you eat some meat, otherwise you will be hungry on the road later." ”
Pei Yuansheng shook his head and said, "Jin Xiaoyi, you can return these chickens, and tell Xiaomei that I haven't touched them." And you, don't patronize me, go eat yourself. ”
"Mr. Pei, you can eat a little more," looking at Pei Yuansheng, who was getting thinner and thinner, Jin Xiaoyi felt distressed for a while, "This chicken is a pheasant, the meat is very tender, and it is guaranteed to be different from the chickens outside, Mr. Pei, you can try it, okay?"
Seeing Jin Xiaoyi's beautiful big eyes looking at him with admiration, although Pei Yuansheng really doesn't like meat, he can't bear to refuse Jin Xiaoyi anymore, he thinks, he is probably getting more and more soft-hearted recently.
Pei Yuansheng looked at the bowl of chicken, ate a small piece of it, swallowed it quickly, but couldn't figure out where it was delicious, and then he looked at Jin Xiaoyi with an expression as if he had completed the task and said, "After eating, Jin Xiaoyi, don't always take care of me, hurry up and eat." ”
"Yes, good. Jin Xiaoyi smiled happily, although Pei Yuansheng only ate a small piece of chicken, but it was better than eating nothing, wasn't it?
Jin Xiaoyi returned to the kitchen with a bowl of chicken left, there were bursts of laughter in the kitchen, everyone was eating in full swing, seeing Jin Xiaoyi come back with a bowl of chicken that had barely been touched, Xiaomei's sister-in-law asked nervously if it was not delicious and not in line with the appetite of the big boss, Jin Xiaoyi had to explain that Mr. Pei was not hungry.
Tang Xiao knew in his heart, I'm afraid it's not that Pei Yuansheng is not hungry, but that he really doesn't like to eat meat very much, plus he is sick, Pei Yuansheng's appetite has always been bad.
After eating, a few people were about to go on the road again, and Xiaomei's sister-in-law heard that they were going to drive deeper into the mountain, so she hurriedly persuaded them not to continue, on the grounds that the climate in the mountain was not good, and there were often rockfalls on the mountain, which was really unsafe.
But where can Tang Xiao and his party listen to persuasion, after all, they have already arrived here, and if they go inside, they will find Ji Xiaoru and them sooner or later.
However, Tang Xiao thought that Xiaomei's sister-in-law's words were also reasonable, so he said to Pei Yuansheng, "I will continue to walk forward with Xiao Zhang Xiaomei, maybe I will be able to find Xiaoru and Lu Chenxi soon, your face is very bad, so stay at Xiaomei's sister-in-law's house for one night, and let Xiaoyi also stay to take care of you, okay?"
Pei Yuansheng's face was indeed very bad, even worse than when he was in the car, if he hadn't really moved freely, she would have wondered if he had an uncomfortable heart or had just been sick.
As a doctor, Tang Xiao will always subconsciously be soft on his patients, so when she saw Pei Yuansheng's pale face and tired face, the unhappiness with Pei Yuansheng before was immediately left behind by her.
But Pei Yuansheng didn't appreciate it, his dark eyes looked at her quietly, and said, "You dislike me so quickly, and you want to leave me down at every opportunity?"
Tang Xiao was angry when she heard it, didn't this guy really mean it? As soon as she opened her mouth, she said something that was angry and didn't pay for her life, if it weren't for the fact that he was a patient, she really didn't want to pay attention to him, whatever he did!
Jin Xiaoyi saw that Tang Xiao pursed her lips and didn't speak, and was afraid that Pei Yuansheng would really annoy Tang Xiao, so she hurriedly said on the side: "Xiaoxiao, don't get me wrong, Mr. Pei didn't mean that, he just didn't worry about you, to be honest, since we have all arrived here, let's act together and don't separate, right?"
No matter how angry Tang Xiao was with Pei Yuansheng, reason could still overcome feelings, she thought about it, Jin Xiaoyi's words did make sense. After all, they are all here, maybe a little further back, they can really meet Lu Chenxi and Ji Xiaoru?
As for Pei Yuansheng, anyway, people don't seem to be so weak that they can't stand on their feet now, and they can deliberately say something to anger themselves, maybe he just looks almost complex, but in fact he is very good?
When I got back to the car, I was just about to leave, but I saw Xiaomei's sister-in-law hurrying over with a big bag of things.
"Xiaomei, these are some winter dates picked this morning, some home-grown fruits, and your favorite leek cake, I'm afraid you didn't eat enough just now, I quickly made some more, you can eat it on the way!" The young woman was full of kindness, although it was only a meal, but she had already been familiar with Xiao Zhang and others, so that even everyone could understand her dialect.
Xiaomei refused to accept it, and the others refused to accept it, they had already eaten and drunk at Xiaomei's sister-in-law's house, Tang Xiao and they even took away a little bit of jujube that had been washed before the meal, where is there any reason to collect Xiaomei's sister-in-law's things again? The so-called backing on the mountains to eat the mountains, the life of the people in the mountains is hard enough.
I didn't see Xiaomei's eldest brother come back when I was eating, and after asking, I learned that Xiaomei's eldest brother went to the field to grow vegetables, and Xiaomei's seven or eight-year-old nephew didn't go to school today, so he also went to help.
The water quality in the mountains is good, but there is not much land that can be used for planting, and it is only a few acres of land that can be distributed to each family, and it is often necessary to walk a long way to reach it. Xiaomei finally came to visit today, but she couldn't see her eldest brother and nephew who went to another mountain to grow vegetables.
The vegetables and crops that the mountain people usually grow are basically just enough for the family to have food and clothing, and few can be left to sell, and in addition, the mountain people rarely have other income.
"Sister-in-law, we're all full, really, don't worry about us, go back quickly! Doesn't Leizi also like to eat leek cakes? Let's leave these to Leizi to eat!" Leizi is the child of sister-in-law and eldest brother, and has a very good relationship with Xiaomei, and I can't see Leizi and eldest brother today, Xiaomei is still very uncomfortable. After all, there aren't that many opportunities to come to the mountains. When she gets pregnant and gives birth to a child, and her heart pounces on the child and her husband, it will be even more rare to see the eldest brother's family.
"Xiaomei, it's rare for you to come back, Leizi wants to eat, I can make it for him to eat every day, you're different, you said that you will be pregnant with a child in the future, can you still come back to this mountain?......" Xiaomei's sister-in-law said and her eyes were filled with tears, and Xiaomei couldn't help but shed tears when she thought about it.
Tang Xiao and the others couldn't bear to look at it, but they could roughly think of the difficulties of the people in the mountains, and Xiao Zhang was still flexible, so he turned around and discussed with Pei Yuansheng and said, "Mr. Pei, do you think we should bring Xiaomei's sister-in-law and let the two of them talk on the road?" Anyway, we can sit down in the car, and then put Xiaomei's sister-in-law down when we come back, okay?"
Pei Yuansheng naturally had no reason to object, so Xiao Zhang told Xiaomei, and Xiaomei's sister-in-law learned that she could also get in the car, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and thanked everyone again and again.
In order to make it easier for Xiaomei and her sister-in-law to talk, Jin Xiaoyi also took the initiative to change to the co-pilot where Xiaomei was seated, and let Xiaomei and her sister-in-law sit in the second row.
The car drove away, the small mountain village gradually moved away, and even the children gathered on the side of the road and looked at them with envy on their faces turned into small black dots, which made people completely invisible.
It didn't take long for the raindrops to fall again. After a while, there was a faint sound of thunder in the sky.
The people in the car were used to the thunder, and they were not as panicked as before, but the thunder was getting louder and louder, and Xiaomei's sister-in-law looked back in a panic, but the heavy mountains covered the sight of the small mountain village where she had lived all her life, and she was completely invisible.
After a while, there was a sudden loud "boom" in the distance, the car shook slightly, and everyone's faces turned pale at this moment.
Was it an earthquake? Or was it an earthquake and a mudslide at the same time? and the direction of the sound was the village where Xiaomei's sister-in-law's house was located......
In the deathly silence of the car, everyone seemed to realize something, but no one was willing to tell the terrible truth.
The car on the winding road was still shaking slightly, and Xiao Zhang drove in horror until there was a "bang" and a series of gravel fell in front of him.
