Before June 30 every year, if the annual leave is not taken, it will be treated as invalid, in order to seize the last opportunity to take the vacation, Zhao Xiaocui and Zhang Liang discussed where to play, but decided to go back to Zhang Liang's house, his home is in Shiyan, Hubei Anyway, Zhao Xiaocui has not been to it, so let's go, and they plan to stay at Zhang Liang's house for three days, and then move to Zhangjiajie, Hunan, plus a total of seven days off on weekends is just not wasted.

On the day of departure, Zhao Xiaocui was still a little excited, although she had purchased a lot of gifts in advance and filled a big box, but before leaving, she still felt that it might be less, because I heard Zhang Liang say that they have a lot of relatives in their hometown, but in June, it was not too good to have a festival or a year, and the two of them got on the train and started to go all the way south.

When he arrived in Shiyan, it was Brother Zhang Liang who came to pick up the station, and Zhao Xiaocui didn't pay much attention to this man last time, he was not very tall, he looked very sven wearing glasses, and he was quite atmospheric between his gestures, and he didn't look like that kind of man who was a little family. After getting in the car for a while, they arrived at Zhang Liang's parents' house, his sister-in-law and nephew were also there, Zhao Xiaocui and their house became lively as soon as they entered the door, and the little nephew still remembered that Zhao Xiaocui took her hand and didn't let go, and she was very affectionate. At noon, the family ate together and drove back to Zhang Liang's hometown in the afternoon, now his grandmother and uncle they still live in the countryside, Zhao Xiaocui said that he had passed by the man, but it was the first time to really go to the south, June was not too hot, but it was quite hot compared to Beijing, and the air was filled with humidity and stuffiness, which made people feel slightly breathless. But the scenery on both sides of the road is excellent, the green here is not the same as the green of the north, the green here is more watery and immature, while the green of the north is much thicker. It was an hour's drive to the hometown, just entered the village and saw the uncle and their family was already waiting, Zhang Liang's father quickened the pace, and the younger generations also hurried to follow, and when they came to the previous introduction, they knew that it was not only the uncle's family but also the surrounding neighbors who came to greet them, because they heard that the bride was coming today, which made Zhao Xiaocui very embarrassed, everyone looked at her around her, she greeted everyone with a red face, and Zhang Liang's sister-in-law whispered in her ear: "It's okay, everyone is enthusiastic, and it will be good to get acquainted after a while." As soon as the children arrived in the countryside, they were like a little pheasant scattered, and Zhang Liang's nephew ran away with a group of children after a while, and the adults were not in a hurry. The group came to Uncle Zhang Liang's house, Zhang Liang took Zhao Xiaocui to see her grandmother first, Zhang Liang's milk ** hair was already white, but the old lady was in good spirits, sitting alone on the edge of the house basking in the sun, seeing the little grandson and Zhao Xiaocui holding their hands and grinning non-stop, although the old lady's ears were not good but her eyes were good, she knew what was going on at a glance, and the wrinkles on her smiling face were squeezed together.

There are also several groups of people back and forth in the yard, there are aunts and young daughters-in-law next door, everyone is quite enthusiastic about Zhao Xiaocui, holding her hand and talking in dialect, many words Zhao Xiaocui can't understand but she can feel the enthusiasm of the people here, she looked back at Zhang Liang, he was also chatting with a bunch of people, and it could be seen that he hadn't been back to his hometown for a long time, and his face looked very excited. "Your Beijing city is good, look at your hands, how smooth and tender, your hands are rough when you touch them." "That's right, people have good water and rely on their brains to eat, how can we be in the field and on the stove all day, can our hands be good?" Zhao Xiaocui looked at everyone's hands and indeed a pair of working people's hands, although they were women, they all had calluses on their hands, they were rough and firm to the touch, and the skin on the back of their hands had become dark and shiny due to perennial sun exposure, and there were spots on them, but this hindered their cheerfulness and liveliness, and their enthusiasm for outsiders. Of course, there are also those who are more shy, but they just cover their mouths to eat and laugh while watching the older women speak. Zhao Xiaocui suddenly felt that there was actually a difference between urban and rural areas. She used to think that with the current conditions, everyone should be about the same, but now she knows that it is actually much worse.

It wasn't until dinner that the people in the courtyard gradually dispersed, and everyone was busy going home to cook. Zhao Xiaocui looked up at the clouds in the sky, very beautiful and dazzling, this is a scene that is difficult to see in Beijing, as the temperature gradually decreases, the heat in the air gradually fades. The dinner in the evening is very rich and spicy, fortunately, Zhao Xiaocui herself also likes spicy, so although she is sweating all over the food, it is very enjoyable, because it is a weekend, so the family wants to stay at the uncle's house for one night, they plan to go back to the city the next afternoon, Zhao Xiaocui and Zhang Liang made an appointment to climb the nearby hill early the next morning, she wants to take a good look at this land.

After dinner, she sat in the courtyard with Zhang Liang's mother, sister-in-law and grandmother, and the night here was quiet, and occasionally a few dogs barked. Because of the lack of lights, the sky is exceptionally dark and bright, and there are surprisingly many stars in the sky, only she has seen so many stars when she was very young in Zhao Xiaocui's memory. There is also a beautiful Milky Way above the sky, and the occasional meteor crossing the night sky makes the sky more gorgeous, such a scene is new to Zhao Xiaocui, and the excitement in her heart is almost impossible to express in words, for a moment she even wanted to cry, why she wanted to cry I don't know, maybe because of excitement or because it was too beautiful and moved.

To tell the truth, this is Zhao Xiaocui's first time in the countryside, and her previous impression of the countryside is limited to TV dramas and her own imagination, but when she stepped on the hot land of the countryside, she still felt different, the people here are more humane, they are hospitable and warm, but they are not strangers to strangers at all, this is Zhao Xiaocui's new discovery, people who have lived in the city for a long time seem to put on a layer of invisible clothing, and always stay away from other people, especially strangers, but here it is different, everyone because you are the first time to appear extraordinarily affectionate. The next morning, the two of them finished eating early and walked slowly towards the mountain, a layer of mist surrounded the mountains, the land was moist, some of the early people had already gone down to work, standing halfway up the mountain and looking down at the village, the village had already exuded a comfortable taste in a fog, the people who worked with their heads down in the rice fields were skilled, Zhao Xiaocui looked at such a scenery not only immersed in it but even a little envious, she felt that this is the original face of life, simple and quiet, but modern people have attached too many conditions to life and made life complicated.

Happy times are always so short, Zhao Xiaocui and their group are about to leave, grandma took Zhao Xiaocui's hand and refused to let go of her mouth and said something that Zhao Xiaocui didn't understand, she only nodded silently, before getting into the car, Zhao Xiaocui remembered the gift she brought, she quickly asked Zhang Liang to move down from the car, the uncle's family was a little shy and embarrassed to accept it, and then Zhang Liang's father came forward to accept it, and on the way back to the city, Zhao Xiaocui looked back from time to time, she liked here, liked the people here, liked the scenery here, Prefer the quietness here.
