The bell of the mountain temple is already dark, and the fishing beam ferry is noisy.

People followed the sand bank to Jiangcun, and Yu also returned to Lumen by boat.

The moon shines on the smoke tree in Lumen, and suddenly comes to the hidden place of the pet public.

The pine path of the rock is long and lonely, and only the secluded people come and go.

Ruobing was bouncing in front of him, happy as a fish, and when he saw the people in the village, he immediately stopped to say hello, and without waiting for inquiries, he immediately told people that there were guests in his house.

Uncle Cao and I walked behind her, talking as we went, and from time to time we responded to the greetings of the villagers. He looked at his daughter with a look of relief: "I'm crazy about this girl today, she is the happiest when you come here." ”

"Hehe" laughed twice, "Old man, it seems that you are not happy, are you afraid that we will eat you poor." ”

The old man is really slippery, "hehe" sneered a few times: "A few more people are not all the same, anyway, there is not enough to eat." Besides, you kid came to see me, and you were embarrassed to be empty-handed when you saw that you were poor like this. ”

"Dad, you're so thick-skinned." Ruobing also knows his father, "I want something from Brother Yicheng." ”

Uncle Cao smiled again, and his black and red face did not show a trace of embarrassment: "It's not the same, if Xiaoyu hadn't made some money with your brother Yu, our family wouldn't even look like this now." ”

"That's also Xiaoyu's own struggle." Hearing the old man's praise, I was a little embarrassed.

"'Brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are gold', as long as you work hard in the future, I will rest assured. Since I can't be rich now, I can only be poor. Fortunately, the children are quite competitive. Dian Ruobing said, "This little one is not bad, I just think it's a little sorry for Da Lei." ”

Hearing my father praise myself in front of me, Ruobing was a little shy, and her originally energetic head lowered.

This little girl is very funny, and she is not embarrassed to talk about her father, which will be shy. I gently grabbed one of her little hands, "Ruobing must study hard, is it okay to be as productive as your brother?" As long as you can be admitted to a key university, Brother Yicheng will contract all your expenses. ”

"Really?" Ruobing's face yearned.

"My brother won't be fake when he speaks." It can be regarded as my dedication to the Hope Project, but what I hope to give this little girl now is motivation, more of a vision for the future. "When you graduate from junior high school, you can take time to go to our school, and Xiaoyu and I will take you to have a good time."

"Really?" Ruobing asked rhetorically, "Will Sister Yuping and Sister Tingting accompany me?" ”

I thought for a moment, "Needless to say, cute little sisters like you must like them, and can help you choose beautiful clothes, they have a much better eye than me, but yes, you have to accompany them well when you go back." ”

Ruo Bing nodded, considering my words in the way of thinking of a child of her age. Sure enough, after going back, she began to surround Xue Yuping and Jiang Tingting, and she was very affectionate, which is a later story.

Uncle Cao listened to me talking to his little daughter, nodded slightly, but did not express any opinion.

Before we could get to the door, Cao Yu had already greeted us, "I'm finally back." ”

Ruobing threw the pheasant in his hand to his brother, "Brother, take it and ask our sister-in-law to stew it." ”

When I entered the yard, I saw Dan Dan chasing a wind-up car running all over the yard, and I don't know which of the three of them bought it.

Seeing us coming in, he rushed over and grabbed Uncle Cao, "Grandpa, look at the car that Aunt Ping bought for me, it's fun." He turned around and chased after me, and then turned back to me and asked, "Uncle, what did you buy for me?" "The little guy is changing his teeth, and he is talking a little leaky.

I'm a rough guy, I really didn't expect such a little guy, I was embarrassed to touch my head, and I didn't buy him anything.

Uncle Cao saw my embarrassment: "Go, while playing, don't pester your Uncle Yu, I'll make you happy, how can I have a Dexing with my grandfather." Thinking of what Ruobing said to him just now, I couldn't help but smile, and I forgot that I didn't buy him a gift.

At this time, Tingting had already come out of the house, took out a small bag and handed it to the little guy: "Take it quickly, this is what Uncle Yu and I bought for you." ”

Dan Dan cheered, the bag had been torn by him, it turned out to be a deforming robot, such a toy, the children in the mountains must have never seen it, ran to Cao Yu and asked him to teach himself to play. Look at Jiang Tingting, secretly grateful, or a girl is careful.

Such a large family is happy and enviable. Although Cao Bo is poor, he can live in peace and enjoy the joy of family.

After a while, everything to eat was ready. Two tables of different heights were put together and placed in the middle of the courtyard, only saying that life in the mountains was not good, but they were also full of land. At first glance, it looks like they are all fresh vegetables, and the pheasants that I just brought back are placed in a large basin and placed in the center of the table.

All kinds of small stools, high and low, are placed around the table, which has a bit of a picnic taste. At this time, Cao Lei came in from outside with a barrel of bulk wine.

Uncle Cao beckoned everyone to sit down at the table, picked up the wine, and said to me: "Although there is nothing to entertain in the mountains, the dishes are all fresh, but the wine is not as delicious as the one you bought." "When he went to school, the taste of beer was not drinkable, so I bought a few bottles of good wine to entertain him, and Uncle Cao never forgot it.

I ran into the house, found my bag, and came out with two boxes: "Don't say it, old man, I really forgot, no, I brought you two bottles of good wine." ”

"Okay, okay, it's just the temper of the two of us." Cao Bo Dale.

Jiang Tingting glanced at me from the side, "You can't forget this at any time." There was a lot of meaning that management needed to be strengthened, and Cao Yu squeezed his eyes at me.

I didn't drink much, and I didn't drink much. After a bumpy day, I ate the convenience food I brought on the road, and I was really hungry, and I ate a lot of dishes. The things in the mountains are fresh, and the staple food is mainly coarse grains, and there are not many people here, but there are not many clay lands that can really grow crops, and the main crops with high yields such as corn are grown. But a few of us are used to eating fine grains, but we think it is more delicious and tastes very sweet.

Uncle Cao was happy in his heart, drank a little too much, and without waiting for the end of the banquet, he had already gone to sleep in the house. A few of us were still chatting happily, and we were unaware of the fatigue of the journey. Sitting in the spacious courtyard, the mountain breeze is blowing, and I am forgetful. At night, the temperature in the mountains is already low and cool, and you can feel the chill in a T-shirt. The air humidity is also relatively high, but what makes people feel strange is that there are few mosquitoes, I once heard Cao Yu say that they rarely use pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals here, I don't know what the reason will be.

Cao Lei took out the largest electrical appliance in their house, an 18-inch color TV, and put it in the yard. Now the city has basically changed to plasma TVs, and there are dozens of digital channels, and Cao Yu said that their TV is still the best in the village.

It can be seen that the mountains are still relatively backward, speaking of which, the gap between urban and rural areas is still quite large, especially there is not even a closed circuit, a high pole stands on the side of the yard, and an antenna is set up on it, and a total of only a limited number of channels can be received, and after 10 o'clock in the evening, there is no program.

Even so, Cao Yu's family still watched it with relish, due to the hard work, they may not even have many opportunities to watch these channels, I think this is probably the main channel for Ruobing to understand the outside world.

Cao Yu's mother saw that Dandan was crazy, so she took him to the house to sleep, and told us that we should rest early when we were tired from the car, so we went back to the house first. My sister-in-law also prepared a bed for us.

Before we came, Cao Yu's parents and Ruobing lived in the main house in the north, Cao Lei and his wife lived in the side house in the east, and Cao Yu lived in the side house in the west when he came back. Now Cao Lei and his wife go to live in the main house, and give the house to Jiang and Xue Ernu, and Cao Yu and I will live in the room where he usually lives. Ruobing had a speculative conversation with Jiang and Xue, so he had to quarrel to live with them.

Our futon was neat and sun-dried beforehand. Due to the limited conditions, it is impossible to be all new, but Jiang Tingting and Xue Yuping can be treated preferentially, and the covers are all new, the color is red, and it is extremely bright, I heard Cao Yu say that it is the dowry of the sister-in-law. Our bed was made of cheesecloth sheets, which looked rather coarse, and they were probably woven at home.

I hurriedly packed up my things and yawned, I was a little tired. I was about to tell Cao Yu to rest early. I only heard a knock on the door frame, and Xue Yuping walked in, holding a bag of things in her hand. I knocked on the doorframe because there was no door in our room.

quipped: "Yuping, why can't you be reluctant for so long, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"I hate it, what am I doing, don't get out quickly, someone is waiting for you." Got a big eye.

Xue Yuping came to Cao's house, it was really a collection of thousands of favors, and her temper was also good, listening to her unkind tone, she hurriedly walked out, I have always admired heroes and do not suffer immediate losses.

Flashed out and looked, Jiang Tingting was really standing in front of the door, she had already changed into pajamas, and there was a bag of things in her hand, the girl was really strange, "What's wrong Tingting?" ”

"Give." She handed me what she was holding.

"What?"

"Towel quilt, and a big sweatshirt, which we sent at the last event, I saw that it was a men's one, so I didn't move, and this time I brought it. Your clothes are so high-end, it's just right to sleep in it. ”

My heart trembled slightly, girls are really careful, no wonder you have to bring so many big bags of things when you go out once, and you still have to carry this kind of thing with you? Why aren't you sleeping?

Standing there and saying a few words, Xue Yuping walked out, grabbed Jiang Tingting and left, and I walked into the house with my things.

Cao Yu was laying out a new sheet, I smiled in my heart, but when I returned to my house, I wanted to replace the things that Xue Yatou brought, I don't know how he felt.

I didn't have the energy to tease him, I opened the bag, a new towel quilt, a big sweatshirt looked new, and the five big words "Youth College Trip" were written on the back, I don't know why the event was prepared, it seemed that it had just been washed for a long time, and it smelled a faint fragrance. I took off my T-shirt and changed into a sweatshirt, feeling enveloped in a touch of tenderness.

glanced at Cao Yu, didn't answer each other, and fell asleep on their heads, both feeling that the other party was weird. Someone caring is sweet, but at the same time there is an indescribable feeling. Soon I couldn't open my eyes, and I didn't know if I would have a dream tonight.

＊＊＊

I didn't expect to change the environment, but my spirit was good, I woke up early the next morning, looked at Cao Yu next to me, still sleeping soundly, didn't change clothes, and walked to the courtyard in a big sweatshirt.

"Brother Yicheng, why don't you sleep more. Wow, you're so handsome. Ruobing, the little girl, had already gotten up early and sat in the courtyard reading a book.

"It's early, Ruobing, I can't sleep, come out for a walk, you get up earlier." I tugged at the undershirt I was wearing, and I didn't think it was handsome.

"I'm doing my homework."

"You read, I'll walk around."

"Brother Yicheng, I'll accompany you."

Saying no, I walked outside by myself. The morning air in the mountains is so fresh that I feel sweet and refreshing when I breathe it into my nose.

Many people were already moving on the path outside, and some had even returned from the fields with hoes.

"Kid, why do you get up so early?" Uncle Cao, who was doing tai chi under a big tree, spotted me.

"This old man, he doesn't know how to do some work when he gets up early, but he is at ease here, he is really a loser old man." I got to know him in a whole new way, and he's really not an ordinary person.

"You're on the same page with my old man, and you don't like me at anything." He knew I was joking with him, and he pretended to be angry and stopped exercising.

"I'm kidding you, you don't do much farm work."

"I've been lazy since I was a child, I don't like to do the business in the field, and it's okay to raise flowers and grass. The work of the family also depends on your aunt, or the boss would not have gone to school so early. Cao Bo's voice was full of regret.

Those who have outstanding points cannot be measured by common sense, and I have a lot of feelings about this. "It's also a good thing to help people and save people, why should the old man blame himself so much."

"You kid, that's a good point. Kid, how are you doing, are you feeling better? "He still cares a lot.

"It's much better, especially in the past two days, I've been feeling good, and I've almost forgotten about the injury."

"That's good, in fact, no matter what the disease, the important thing is to adjust psychologically." He knows a lot about things, in fact, when he saw so many books in his room yesterday, he secretly admired the breadth of his knowledge.

"Come, I'll show you again." He's really addicted to seeing a doctor.

When he came to a wooden stump under the big tree, he sat down casually on the ground and stretched out his hand to him.

"Hmm." Let go of my hand, "The resistance is much smaller, and there is no sign of seizures, it will get better with slow conditioning." By the way, after I came back, I went to the mountains to pick a lot of herbs, and there were a few plants that were in good condition, all of which were concocted, and I wanted Xiaoyu to bring them to you. ”

I nodded, not trying to be polite to him. But he said: "Old man, when will you go to the mountains to collect medicine again, take me to have a look, so that I can learn." ”

"Okay, I'll go in the next two days, and see that you are also a destined person. Let's go home first, and they should all get up. ”

Walking home, Jiang and Xue had already gotten up, the location of the Cao family's compound was really ingenious, there was a small mountain spring water flowing slowly from the wall, and the two of them were squatting there to wash.

The faces were quite tired, and the consequences of the long journey were only apparent after a night's rest. Seeing the clothes I was wearing, Jiang Tingting's face turned red and she turned her face away.

Cao Yu has already helped bring the breakfast, steamed and boiled, ordinary peasant rice, but it is delicious in our eyes.

Because everyone is quite tired, the plan for today's sightseeing has changed, and I didn't go to the mountains to watch the scenery, but only went to the small vegetable field in the mountain behind Cao Yu's house.

Looking at the greenery all over the ground, I couldn't help but cry out in amazement. All kinds of dishes grow very well, but they are only ordinary farmhouse fertilizer, and there are no other additives. The big tomatoes are sweet and refreshing, and there are mountain cabbages that I have never seen before, I heard Cao Yu say that this thing is easy to grow, and the growth period is fast, if you transport these to the city, you will definitely make a lot of money. Before I knew it, my mind was running back to making money.

Suddenly, I thought of the vegetable varieties introduced by Dakejia from abroad, and if these were transplanted, not to mention the low cost, they would definitely be very popular.

"Cao Yu, go back and bring me some of these vegetable seeds, and see if we can grow them alive in our house." If the varieties can be improved and suitable for large-scale promotion, my contribution is great.

"What the hell are you up to again?" Tingting still knows me better, knowing that when I roll my eyes, I won't just want to have fun.

"No problem, let's go to the mountains tomorrow, there are many good things that are very popular in the city, no one likes to eat here, many of them are used to feed the pigs, and the seeds are not a big handful." Cao Yu didn't think as much as Jiang Tingting thought.

Jiang Tingting covered her mouth and smiled at Xue Yuping, "Then let's feed Yu Yicheng's pig." "Feed the pigs, they can figure it out, it's really a tragedy.

The scenery of the vegetable garden in the mountains is different from the large vegetable greenhouse, which is said to be a small vegetable field, but it is a large piece. Cao Yu and Ruobing kept explaining to us, and I, like a few girls, were also jumping around in the mountains and on the ground, as if I had returned to my childhood, completely forgetting everything about the outside world.

In this big mountain, the mobile phone signal is average, always if there is nothing, in their yard is fine, in the vegetable field the signal is weak to none. When Cao Yu was asked, he said that there was only one transit station in their township, which was only built for the benefit of foreign merchants who occasionally came here for inspection. He pointed to a tall shelf in the distance and said that there was it. I can really see that if it weren't for this shelf built on the top of the mountain, this place would be a dead end.

I suddenly had an almost crazy thought, "Cao Yu, how about calling your home improvement department?" "I remember him saying that there wasn't even a single telephone in the village, and there weren't even a few in the whole township.

"Nope." Cao Yu shook his head resolutely, "I went to the post office to ask during the New Year, because we have no line here, we have to pull the line over, the initial installation fee is too expensive, about five or six thousand yuan, this is still a lot of preferential according to the county's policy, people said, as long as you pay the money, you will immediately lay the line." But these thousands of dollars in cash, the whole village is about the same."

"That's not better, install a special line at home, more scenery." I heard that it was only a few thousand dollars, but I made up my mind and thought I would get more. "That's it, I'll pay the money, and I'll call the eldest brother to go through the formalities tomorrow, and it's convenient for you to talk to the family at that time."

"With so much money, how can I let you out, let's talk about it when I earn enough money in the future, and I can't afford the landline fee, is it worth it for a few calls a month?" Cao Yu was firmly opposed.

"I've got all the money out, pay the phone bill until you graduate from college, I still want to have time to talk to Xiao Ruobing, this is what I give her as a meeting gift." In the future, it will be convenient to tell us what you need to go to school. "I can't say why I'm so bold.

Although Ruobing is a junior high school student, he should learn mathematics well, and he knows that this is a large amount, but he doesn't know what it looks like to put 6,000 yuan together. Hearing it so easily, he just looked at me with wide eyes and curiosity.

"Yu Da is really a rich man, your family runs a bank?" The first time I heard Xue Yuping call me that, it was fresh.

Jiang Tingting understood my details, looked at me silently, did not speak, and was a little disapproving of me for spending so much money.

Regardless of everyone's opposition, I have already made up my mind to install a phone for Cao Yu's house, and I think I am right.

When I got home, I wanted to give Cao Lei the money immediately. Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the Cao family's compound, Jiang and Xue Ernu and I were very surprised.

I saw that there was a commotion in the yard, and there were not many people.
