The guests and the host exchanged pleasantries on the side of the dirt road at the foot of the mountain, and then climbed up a Tikan, which was only half a meter wide. This tikan was all chiseled out by Chen Xiang's grandfather on the stony mountain with a steel drill, a steel drill, and a steel drill, which was chiseled by thousands of hammers, and bent and zigzagged, leading to the platform halfway up the mountainside. Grandpa Chen Xiang's left leg, which needs a pestle and a crutch, was accidentally broken when he was working in the rain on a rainy day.

Climb up the carefully excavated stone steps, climb about one or two hundred steps, four or five stories high, and come to a half-mountain platform about the size of half an acre.

On the platform, as far as the eye can see, is a dam with three soil and six thatched houses, facing three main houses, and three partial houses next to it.

The three main rooms, the hall and the two bedrooms, house Chen Xiang and her sister Chen Bing, Chen Xiang's parents, live respectively. Her parents' bedroom also served as a granary.

There are three side rooms next to it, one is a stove room for cooking, a pigsty, and a bedroom where Chen Xiang's grandparents live.

As for the toilets, they are located with the pigsty.

The six thatched huts look old, with peeling walls revealing the true color of the adobe, and herringbone straw roofs that have been dyed a deep black by the rain and sun. On the whole, everything looks shabby and dilapidated, which makes Wang Bo suddenly have the illusion of returning to the small farm yard of his family when he was a child.

However, in a corner of the courtyard, he noticed two neatly stacked piles of red bricks, black tiles and a large pile of river sand, and it seemed that Chen Xiang's family was probably preparing to build a brick house. Wang Bo thought that this was mostly related to his intervention in the girl's life and the improvement of the girl's family's economic conditions in the past two years. Not to mention anything else, since he met Wang Bo, Chen Xiang has never asked his family for a penny, whether it is tuition fees or living expenses, this alone can save a lot of money for a tight family.

Probably because he felt that his home was really not good, and he was ashamed to see guests, as soon as he entered the door, Chen Xiang's parents said that the home was simple, which made him smile.

Wang Bo smiled and told the truth, saying that his home was like this when he was a child, and there were only three rooms in total, and even the toilet had to be shared with the second father next door. Their family also opened a rice noodle shop and the conditions gradually improved. Chen Xiang will graduate next year, and her job will change from part-time to full-time, and after full-time, her salary will rise a lot, and at that time, the family's economic conditions will definitely improve soon.

Chen Xiang's parents and grandparents saw that Wang Bo did not dislike their own shabbyness, and also "hinted" that their family Xiangxiang would be reused in the future, and they were immediately moved and grateful, saying that Chen Xiang was able to meet such a good classmate as him, boss, it was really Chen Xiang's blessing, and then immediately put on a straight face and told Chen Xiang that she must listen to Mr. Wang's words more in the future and do things for Mr. Wang. Chen Xiangqiao's face was slightly red, and she responded hesitantly, and Wang Bo wanted to laugh when she saw it.

The family welcomed Wang Bo into the hall and sat down, and Chen Xiang's mother, Song Chun'e, began to urge Chen Bing to make tea for Wang Bo, asked her husband to go to the town to buy vegetables, and called Chen Xiang's grandmother to go to her bedroom to take some of the mountain goods hanging on the beams of the house and cook them, and finally left her eldest daughter Chen Xiang to chat with Wang Bo.

And Chen Xiang's grandfather picked up a sharp knife and went to the courtyard to divide the meat.

At this time, Wang Bo noticed that at the base of the courtyard dam, a big fat pig with no hair was hung upside down by an iron hook on two abandoned electric piles planted in the courtyard dam, and it had already opened its intestines and was waiting to be slaughtered. It seems that when he and Chen Xiang came back, the family was killing New Year's cooking at home.

Wang Bo's family has not killed a New Year pig for several years. In the first few years, his old man Wang Jichang was still enthusiastic to kill a fat pig every year to spend a fat year, showing off his prosperity to the neighbors around him. Later, it was found that a pig family couldn't eat at all, and half of it couldn't be eaten, and after Wang Bo went to Shuangqing to study, he couldn't even eat 1/4 of the pig, so he simply stopped killing the New Year's pig. Usually when it is time to prepare bacon in the lunar month, Wang Bo's mother Zeng Fanyu goes to the farmers' market to buy some meat, pork ribs, heart, liver, tongue and the like come back to make bacon and hang it on the balcony. As the family's life is getting better and better, the standard of living is getting higher and higher year by year, the early years are rare, the rare pigs are now not rare at all, the family receives the delicacies of the mountains and seas all year round, birds and animals can not be eaten, where is there still the appetite to eat ordinary bacon.

"Bingbing, are you killing New Year's pigs today?" Wang Bo asked as he looked at Chen Bing, who brought her tea.

"Yes, Brother Bo. When you and your sister came back, Dad and Grandpa had just disemboweled the pig. Brother Bo, this is the wild boar that our family feeds ourselves, and we don't feed a little pig feed, but the meat is delicious. Take some and eat them while you're gone. Chen Bing said that seeing Wang Bo's kind attitude and did not discriminate against them, a ragged and thatched house, Chen Bing's courage gradually became bigger, and his speech became smoother.

Chen Xiang also smiled on the side and echoed: "Xiaobo, you stay here for two more days, and when my mother and my grandmother smoke these meats with cypress branches and pine branches, you can take some back to your hometown and give them to your uncle, aunt, and sister to taste." ”

"Hehe, okay. But I won't be able to play for two days, and I'll have to go back tomorrow morning. Wang Bo smiled.

"That'...... Why don't you send it to your hometown when it's ready?"

"It's too much trouble to mail, I'll send a driver to pick it up when the time comes. The current pigs are all feed pigs, and they are not fragrant at all when they are blown out of balloons in a short time with feed. We don't have the habit of smoking bacon in all directions, so we should try your smoked bacon here when the time comes. But don't take too much, a dozen catties is enough, and you can't eat too much. If you can, give me a whole fan of ribs, that one I love. Wang Bo said, and you're welcome, because he had already heard Chen Xiang say that her family fed a New Year's pig this year, and she would kill and eat it during the New Year, and she would give him half of it when the time came.

In fact, since Chen Xiang met him, almost every year after the beginning of the New Year, he would pull a box of pheasants, hares, bacon, pork ribs and other mountain goods back to school to make for him to eat.

"Then I'll give you all the ribs. Chen Xiang smiled charmingly, revealing two good-looking rabbit teeth.

"Don't! just take one. You give it all to me, what are Bingbing eating? right, Bingbing?" Wang Bo looked at his sister-in-law Chen Bing and winked at him. Chen Bing stood behind her sister Chen Xiang, climbing on her sister's shoulder, looking intimate, and it could be seen that the relationship between the two sisters was usually very good.

"I ...... I don't like pork ribs, Brother. You can take it and eat it. I have bacon at home. Chen Bing blushed slightly and hesitated for a moment to say.

"Poof-" Chen Bing's words made Chen Xiang laugh, glanced at his sister, and said to Wang Bo, "Don't listen to her! Every time the family eats meat, the bones in the bowl are gnawed by her. ”

"I hate it, sister, you just want to say I'm a dog! next time I don't gnaw the bones, I'll leave it all to you, okay?" Chen Bing slapped her sister's shoulder with her fist, and said a little unconvinced. As he spoke, Chen Bing raised his eyebrows and secretly glanced at Wang Bo opposite, but saw that her "brother-in-law", who was still not visible, was smiling and staring at her for a long time. The eyes of the two met in mid-air, Chen Bing's heart jumped, and he hurriedly lowered his gaze, and his heart was so flustered that he couldn't do it.

At this moment, the courtyard remembered the voice of Grandpa Chen Bing and asked her to take a basin to fill the meat. Chen Bing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if he was saved, responded crisply, and then lowered his head, not daring to look at Wang Bo and said, "Brother Bo, you rest slowly, I'll go and get busy" and hurriedly ran out.

After his sister left, Chen Xiang stood up from the bench and said to Wang Bo with a smile: "Xiao Bo, I'll show you around my room with Bingbing." ”

"Hey, huh? I'm interested in this. ”
