Chapter 055: Me and You
I gave an afternoon of lectures in Yangzhuang, and Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan stayed in Yangzhuang in the evening, Yang Xifeng prepared the best guest room, the room sat north and faced south, the bedding and washing utensils were the latest configuration, Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian lived next to each other.
In the evening, Yang Xifeng asked the villagers to raise a bonfire, slaughter the lamb, and bake it on top of the bonfire until it was golden brown and crispy. provoked Lin Wan'er and the children to exclaim.
The roasted whole sheep tasted very good, and Lin Wan'er was very happy to eat it, thinking that it would be better if Dabao was there.
Zhao Qian pulled Yang Xifeng to his side and whispered, Yang Xifeng nodded in agreement, and then turned around and left.
Zhao Qian approached Lin Wan'er, sat down next to each other, pinched a piece of lamb leg meat in Lin Wan'er's bowl with two fingers, and then soaked it in the sauce, chewing it slowly and savoring it, like a gourmet.
This made Lin Wan'er, who was gobbling up, feel annoyed, and wiped the fat from the corners of her mouth without a trace, as if she was just a foodie, like a cow chewing peonies, burning a piano and cooking a crane, wasting food, and Zhao Qian's style beside him was much higher.
Zhao Qian stretched out his hand again, and Lin Wan'er's bowl had already left 108,000 miles.
After eating the roasted whole sheep, the villagers served tea and went to remove the smell of mutton and oily smoke.
The villagers asked Lin to talk about poetry, Lin Wan'er had a big head for a while, and she talked for a long time, and she talked about it mysteriously, and told the philosophical words such as "poetry comes from the heart" and "the voice of the heart" before the crossing, and finally wrapped herself in. But the villagers were still unsatisfied, and felt that the Lin family was really knowledgeable.
As the night deepened, Yang Xifeng dismissed the villagers, and then led Lin Wan'er and Zhao Qian to their residences, said a few words of admiration, and the people also retreated.
Lin Wan'er was physically and mentally tired, and said with a strong spirit: "Zhao Gan, set off tomorrow morning." According to the original plan, there are still five villages to visit, but the cocoons in Yangzhuang have already filled the ox carts, and we will go back to Lanzhou tomorrow to buy a few more ox carts, and maybe hire a few more people. ”
Zhao Qian smiled and said, "No." ”
"Not really?" Lin Wan'er frowned and asked, "Do you have a way?" ”
Zhao Qian said: "Mountain people have their own tricks. We first put the silkworm cocoons in Yangzhuang, and then drove the ox carts to several other villages, or according to the custom of previous years, let the villagers send the silkworm cocoons to the city of Lanzhou, the difference is that we will pay for the journey. ”
"It's a good idea, but what if the other villagers are also hostile to us like the villagers of Yangzhuang did at the beginning?" Lin Wan'er raised her own questions.
Zhao Qian laughed, looked confident, took out a letter from his arms, and explained: "This is a letter of recommendation that I asked Old Man Yang Xifeng to write, Old Man Yang has a good relationship with Zhou Shuren in the next village, Zhouzhuang, and a letter of recommendation can save a lot of trouble." After speaking, he shook the letter of recommendation in his hand at Lin Wan'er.
Lin Wan'er was happy in her heart, and felt that Zhao Gan had done a beautiful job, but she rolled her eyes, she couldn't get used to Zhao Gan's blind appearance, and said, "Go back to the house and sleep." ”
Zhao Gan hurriedly grabbed Lin Wan'er, raised his head and pointed to the moon in the sky, and said, "The moon is sparse today, let's take a look at the moon together?" ”
Lin Wan'er also looked up at the big moon like a jade plate, rubbed her eyebrows, and said: "I'm sleepy, there are two moons in the sky, and besides, looking up at the moon, my neck is too tired, let's go back to the house and sleep!" ”
Zhao Gan saw that Lin Wan'er had no interest in admiring the moon, and his heart turned around, and he pointed to the moon with a smile and said, "You see that the moon is silvery white, does it look like silver?" ”
Lin Wan'er looked up again, her eyes lit up obviously, not to mention, it really looked like it.
Zhao Qian quietly led Lin Wan'er to the steps and sat down, and the two sat down next to each other.
Zhao Qian was silent, and Lin Wan'er was silent.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Qiangang wanted to speak, but turned his head to see Lin Wan'er leaning on the pillar next to him and falling asleep. Zhao Gan laughed dumbly, held Lin Wan'er's shoulder with a smile, and put Lin Wan'er's head on his shoulder without a trace, then looked up at the moon and said to himself: "When is the spring flower and autumn moon?" How much do you know about the past? ”
After looking at the moon for a while, Zhao Qian suddenly felt that he was ...... I am very stupid, I sigh at the moon alone, and I don't even have anyone to speak, like a werewolf on a full moon night, howling at the moon, it's too stupid.
Zhao Qian woke up Lin Wan'er beside him, and the two went back to the house to sleep.
When the door was about to close, Zhao Qian squeezed his head in the middle of the crack in the door, and asked with a smile: "If you feel cold by the nest, you can tell me." I'm a warm bed, and I don't need money! ”
"Get out!" Lin Wan'er's lazy voice came from behind the door.
On the second day, Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan got up early, Yang Xifeng took the villagers to send the two to the head of the village, Zhao Gan drove the ox cart, and Lin Wan'er waved at the villagers frequently.
The days that followed became simpler, the two went to Zhouzhuang first, Zhou Shuren read the letter of recommendation, and immediately called the villagers to clean up the cocoons at home, counted them clearly, signed a contract with Lin Wan'er, and then wrote a letter of recommendation.
Lin Wan'er drew a big cross on Yangzhuang and Zhouzhuang with a brush, and the two went to Yuanzhuang with Zhou Shuren's recommendation letter. Along the way, the two also passed by several smaller villages, collected some scattered silkworm cocoons on the spot, and the ox cart was unknowingly filled with silkworm cocoons.
The two discussed it and calculated the time, it had been more than half a month since they left Lanzhou, and it was time to meet Lanzhou.
Zhao Qian calculated the distance on the map, guessed the time in his heart, and the two drove back to Lanzhou.
Lin Wan'er went home anxiously, brandished her whip, and drove the ox cart as a carriage.
Zhao Qian comforted: "Don't worry, you see that Lao Huang is tired into a pig, poor Lao Huang." "Lao Huang is the nickname that Zhao Gan gave to the cow, and when he usually has nothing to do, he will always feed Lao Huang with a handful of hay in one hand, and babble something with Lao Huang's fur with the other.
Lin Wan'er looked up at the gray sky, dark clouds slowly spread from the side of the sky, as if it was going to rain, and said: "I haven't been at home for a month and a half, and I don't know how their brothers are doing, maybe the house has become a pigsty." ”
The corners of Zhao Gan's mouth curled, and he seemed to be very confident in his heart, and said, "It's okay, the family must be fine." Besides, there is a fourth. ”
"Fourth?" Lin Wan'er shook her head and sighed: "Actually, what I'm most worried about at home is the fourth child, the fourth child seems to have a free and easy temperament, but he is a big stubborn cow in his bones, and he is the easiest to drill the horns." Lin Wan'er seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Zhao Qian shook his head and didn't say much.
At this time, the whole sky has been covered by dark clouds, and it is raining lightly, Zhao Qian covered the prepared canvas on the top of the heads of the two people, Lin Wan'er pulled off the canvas with a sigh and covered it on the top of the silkworm cocoon.
A wave of anger suddenly surged out in Zhao Gan's heart, and he yelled at Lin Wan'er: "Lin Wan'er, can you not be a fan of money?!" The weather is like this, why do you just think about the cocoon? Money, money, money, do you have anything else in your head besides money? ”
After Zhao Gan finished roaring, the rain seemed to be corresponding to Zhao Gan, suddenly became bigger, poured down, the ox cart was tripped by the mud with a bang, the wheel fell into the mud, Lao Huang screamed twice, pulled hard, and the ox cart did not move.
Lin Wan'er bit her lip, got out of the car in silence, stretched out her slender arms, and pushed the oxcart hard from the back of the cart, and the oxcart swayed back and forth a few times, but did not get out of the swamp.
Zhao Qian, who was sitting in the car, let out a long sigh, jumped out of the ox cart, and picked up Lin Wan'er behind the car, Lin Wan'er struggled a few times and did not break free. Zhao Qian put Lin Wan'er on the ox cart, then pushed the silkworm cocoon to reserve space for Lin Wan'er, covered the other party under the canvas, walked to the ox cart himself, took a deep breath, sank into the dantian, held the ox cart with both hands, and instantly exerted force, and the ox cart staggered out of the mud.
Lao Huang pulled the ox cart, Zhao Gan pushed the ox cart, Lin Wan'er nested under the canvas, stretched her fingers out of the canvas, and the rain hit the white wrist and ejected, like a blooming flower.
An ox cart, Lin Wan'er and Zhao Gan, walked in the heavy rain of heaven and earth.
