[Chapter 350: Chinese New Year]
Chapter 350: New Year's Day
Tianqiu followed the little girl to the old man's house in the wooden tower, and because the residents were scattered, he didn't know whether it was the head of the village or the end of the village.
To Tianqiu's surprise, there were actually two off-road vehicles that looked very good parked at the door. He thought for a moment and guessed that there might be tourists staying in it temporarily, and there was no need for locals to buy such a car.
The little girl ran in front, pushed the door open and rushed in, screaming out that Tianqiu didn't understand, probably in the local Tibetan language. After all, he is an outsider, and if the natural enemy is not good, he will follow him in directly, or wait at the door.
After a while, the little girl came out with an old man in her sixties and seventies, pointed to Tianqiu, and said in Mandarin: "It's this uncle." ”
The old man of the wooden tower greeted Tianqiu with a smile, in Mandarin that was not very standard, but could be understood, "Come in, young man, there is nothing inconvenient, I have other guests here, you are welcome." ”
This is not a hotel, so Tianqiu still thanked him before following the old man of the wooden tower inside. The little girl said goodbye to them and went home.
The old man of the wooden tower led Tianqiu into the courtyard, and then led him into a large room, lit an orange light bulb, and said to Tianqiu with a smile, "The conditions here are very simple, you can take a temporary rest." He was afraid that Tianqiu would not understand, so he pointed inside.
Tianqiu has quickly browsed the room, and what he saw was two rows of long beds on the left and right, just like two long big kangs, it is very loose to sleep four or five people in a row, if you squeeze a little, there is no problem to sleep a few more. Although it can't be compared with a hotel, it's already very good that this kind of environment and private people can make room like this.
Tianqiu, who was carrying a big bag, was already tired to death, and now when he saw the bed, his whole body relaxed, he hurriedly thanked the old man of the wooden tower, and saw that there were already packages and quilts in some places, probably those people who had parked outside had already stayed, so he put down the bag in an empty place on the side, and then sat down on the bed.
"You see you're walking, right? I'm really tired, you can rest first, and I'll get you a quilt. The old man left with that.
Tianqiu fell on the bed, let out a long sigh of relief, feeling very comfortable, and the fatigue made him quickly relax his body and fall asleep.
I don't know how long he slept, Tianqiu felt that someone was pushing his body, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw that the light in the room was on, and his body was already covered with a thick quilt, this is not a soft duvet, it is an authentic sturdy old quilt.
Tianqiu saw the face of a middle-aged man appear at the head of the bed, and there was no one else in the room, obviously he was shaking himself. Who is this? The son of the old man of the wooden tower?
"Hello." Tengue smiled effortlessly, then sat up.
The middle-aged man saw that Tianqiu had woken up, and said happily: "Hello, young man, we are also boarding here." You just came? Heard you walk alone? Not bad! Meet me, my name is Luo Zhen. ”
"Hello, my name is Heavenly Enemy." Tianqiu got up and shook his hand.
Luo Zhen is a very enthusiastic person, and without waiting for Tianqiu to ask, he began to introduce, "We have a total of five people and two cars, and we all come from different places to come to Tibet to play." I came to this neighborhood today, I didn't have time to leave, so I spent the night here, and Uncle Muta is very good. ”
"Yes," said Tian Qiu, "hehe, I'm just bored to come out and play alone, hiking." ”
"Let's go, let's go out for a drink!" Luo Zhen said warmly invited.
"Drinking?"
"Yes, if you are a confidant in the sea and the end of the world, everyone has the same hobby, and you can meet it in Tibet, thousands of miles away, isn't this fate? Go, go, go, let's have a few drinks together! It's almost dinner, too. Luo Zhen enthusiastically pulled Tianqiu outside.
Seeing that he was so enthusiastic, Tianqiu didn't shirk it anymore and went out with him. When I came to the hall, I saw a group of people drinking over the fire, and there were four people who were obviously outsiders and a few locals in their clothes.
Seeing Tianqiu come out, they also warmly beckoned him to come over and sit down, Tianqiu didn't say anything polite, greeted everyone with a smile, and said his name.
Sit down and start drinking and chatting, soon the old man of the wooden tower came in, came in with a large pot of meat, and several local people helped together, and made a lot of dishes, it turned out that these locals were also more hospitable, and it was difficult for the old man of the wooden tower to entertain so many people, so they sent a lot of dishes to entertain everyone.
Tian Qiu quickly became familiar with the four people who were traveling with Luo Zhen, and to Tian Qiu's great surprise, one of them was actually an old man in his seventies and eighties! This old man surnamed Lan is in good spirits and has a lot of words, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it was really hard to imagine that he would go to Tibet for such a self-help trip at his age.
It was already late, and as everyone laughed and talked, the old man had already prepared all the food and drinks for the guests, and everyone sat in the living room together, while the women who helped with the food did not stay, and went home.
Tianqiu was alone, but Luo Zhen and his party had a reserve of food, and he pulled Tianqiu and three other people to remove some of the wine and drinks prepared from the car, as well as some food. Moved to the hall and ate it with everyone.
As for the food they brought, the old man of the wooden tower did not be polite to them, anyway, he was not to make money, and he could only do his best to provide food for everyone. And the dozen or so people in the house are all men, and there is nothing polite about it.
After the table was opened, a local stood up with wine and said to Tianqiu and Luo Zhen: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the Chinese New Year, and you happen to come to us, you are our most honored guests!" We don't have anything good to entertain you here, only a sincere heart to entertain guests from afar! Come, let's drink wine in big bowls and eat meat in big chunks! ”
Although his Mandarin is not very good, everyone still understands it. In such a foreign land, in such a lively atmosphere, listening to the words of the village chief (Tianqiu thought that he might be the village chief), everyone picked up the wine and drank it happily, and there was no red tape or anything like that.
Tianqiu pushed Tyre Town a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Is it the New Year today?" ”
"Yes! Don't you know? Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I would like to thank the villagers of Kizi Village for their hospitality! Luo Zhen said loudly with a smile.
Hearing that today is the Chinese New Year, the hatred of heaven feels a little strange, he has not had the heart to think about too many things these days, let alone a few lunar dates. I just remember that the Chinese New Year is coming, but I didn't expect it to be today.
Everyone laughed and began to eat and drink, and no one noticed the small abnormality of Tianqiu.
Tianqiu still smiled reluctantly, and his hands were also mechanically raised with chopsticks to eat. But my heart has drifted thousands of miles away, thinking of my lover and friends thousands of miles away, and I don't know how they are celebrating the New Year now.
Hai Ruo and the others, at this time, do you think of yourself?
How are they now?
Cheng Huan will probably go to his hometown, right?
And Murong, did he also return to the orphanage?
For their own farewell, Xue Yi and his wife, who don't know the truth, will definitely have a little opinion on themselves, the New Year, the company is on holiday again, even if they don't come to visit, at least make a phone call, right? Others don't say so much, the old dean will definitely look forward to himself, I haven't celebrated the New Year together for more than ten years, this year is a good opportunity, it's a pity......
Alas, I don't know if Zhang Yulin's kid will call customers one by one to greet the New Year......
After a while, the old man Lan who was sitting on the other side of Tianqiu looked at him with a smile, "What's wrong?" Young man, you're not as old as I am, why don't you even remember the New Year? There is no time in the mountains, so you can't be hiking for a long time, right? ”
Tianqiu came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said reluctantly: "No, I have only been out for a few days, and it is because I am too bitter and tired, so I will forget about the New Year." ”
"Too bitter and tired? It's a great pleasure! The old man laughed, and after Luo Zhen heard it, they all laughed, and they all said that they enjoyed the hard work on the road.
Tianqiu thought to himself, you have a car, naturally it is much more refreshing, there are wheels on the top, and you can't help but have two legs, so you can naturally talk big, but at this time, he was embarrassed to say it, just covered it with a smile and began to drink.
The others didn't mean to make fun of the feud, and in the hot atmosphere of eating and drinking, they began to talk again.
Tianqiu didn't want to bow his head and drink violently, and he didn't want to think too much about this depressed New Year, so he let Huan laugh and took the initiative to chat with others.
Luo Zhen, who was sitting next to him, was an enthusiastic person, and he was chatting with several people at the same time, and Tianqiu couldn't interject, so he naturally shifted his target to the old man Lan on the other side. "Lan Lao, at such an old age, do you still like this way of traveling?" I thought that ordinary people should enjoy their old age at home at this age!
Lan Lao said with a smile: "Hehe, you want to say that I am a person who is about to enter the earth, and it is very dangerous to come to the plateau, right?" ”
Tianqiu smiled awkwardly, although he didn't say it, but he had a little bit of such thoughts.
"People will die, they will die eventually, and dying outside is not the same as dying at home? I'm getting older, and I have fewer and fewer days left, so I should hurry up and play something that interests me. The old man Lan smiled, and then asked: "If you are really interested, you won't feel tired, you will feel hard and tired, don't you seem to like it very much?" Why did you come out? ”
