Chapter 132: Zhangjia Village
As soon as Ai Le arrived, the door opened, Ren Qianxue looked at him with an embarrassed expression and said softly: "I drank too much yesterday, don't worry what you say, I ......"
Ai Le waved his hand to interrupt her words and said, "Don't say it, you didn't say anything wrong yesterday, let's go have breakfast and then go to Zhangjia Village to have a look." ”
Ren Qianxue saw that Ai Le looked a little haggard, so she asked, "You didn't sleep yesterday, right?" Why don't you go in and sleep for a while, and I'll call you at noon that we're going? ”
Ai Le shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go." At this time, Ai Le's mood was not high, firstly, because what Ren Qianxue said yesterday made him feel awkward like a prick in his heart, no wonder, can the man be comfortable when he learns that the woman he likes can't let go of her ex-boyfriend?
What happened in Zhang Quancai's house is really weird, and it is likely that an Ashaya-like character is involved, and it is really dangerous to investigate this matter, because it makes Elle feel even worse.
Ren Qianxue didn't say anything when she saw him like this, and cautiously followed him to the restaurant for a simple breakfast, and as soon as she came out after eating, Ai Le suddenly stopped and said, "You stay here, I'll go by myself." ”
Ai Le naturally didn't want Ren Qianxue to put herself in danger, if something really happened, Ai Le would be too busy to take care of herself, let alone take care of Ren Qianxue.
Ren Qianxue shook her head slightly and said, "No, I have to follow you, I really don't feel at ease if you let you go by yourself with your temper." ”
Ren Qianxue didn't know that it would be dangerous to investigate this matter, she only knew that Ai Le was too short-tempered, and she would do it if she didn't agree with her, so she really didn't worry about letting him go alone.
Ai Le found several excuses to let Ren Qianxue wait here or go back to the city first, but Ren Qianxue didn't care about these iron-clad and wanted to follow, for fear that he would fight with others.
Ai Le really had no choice but to take her over, thinking in his heart that even if there was a character like Ashiya in this broad daylight, he couldn't do it now, right? With this luck in his heart, Ai Le took her over the mountain to Zhangjia Village.
When you come down the mountain, you can see Zhangjia Village from afar, this village is surrounded by mountains, the population does not seem to be very much, there are only forty or fifty families like this, it is autumn now, you can see the withered yellow stick straw on the surrounding mountains, some people have cut down these stick straw and bundled them and put them on the edge of the field, but some people have not had time to cut them, these withered yellow stick straws stand in the field, and the wind blows and immediately makes a "whoosh" sound.
The peasant family gets up early, and there is almost no smoke at this point, obviously the people of Zhangjia Village have already eaten breakfast, and some of the people who are still alive in the field have gone to the field, and the men of those who are quick or clean up the land are smoking and chatting in the small square of the village with cigarettes in their mouths, and the women are either doing housework at home or coming to the small square to gather together and chat, and four or five five or six-year-old children will be running crazy in the small square.
This is the scene that Ai Le and Ren Qianxue saw, a very ordinary scene, thousands of rural areas in China are almost like this in this season, there is really nothing special, but in Ai Le's opinion, it is not ordinary under the ordinary.
He exhaled a breath and walked down, Ren Qianxue has been living in the city, she has not seen much such a scene to be honest, and now she is very excited when she suddenly sees it, she casually pulls a dead grass on the side of the road and shakes it in her hand, she looks left and right, everything is fresh, and the scenery in the mountains in late autumn dilutes the pain in her heart and makes her cheerful.
Ai Le saw Ren Qianxue making a bunch of grass rings on his head and smiled, at this moment he suddenly had the idea of time freeze in his heart, how good it would be forever, there was no such and such troubles, not running around for money, just quietly looking at Ren Qianxue not far away, how happy and happy.
But Ai Le knows that this is never possible, people will always have to move forward, experience this and that, there are good things and bad things, they have to experience, this is life, follow the footsteps of time to taste the ups and downs of life, continue to grow, continue to age, and then the loess adds to this life.
The sudden perception of life made Ai Le's eyes become a little vicissitudes, and at this time, Ren Qianxue's voice interrupted his train of thought: "Ai Le, come on, I made a grass ring for you, you take me to see if it is suitable." ”
Ai Le looked at Ren Qianxue, who was playing like a little girl, smiled and walked over, when Ren Qianxue brought the grass ring to his head, her brows furrowed, she took the grass ring down and said depressedly: "It's been a long time, and I can't master the size well." ”
Ai Le looked at the grass ring in Ren Qianxue's hand and said, "Did you often make up this thing when you were a child?" ”
Ren Qianxue exhaled a breath and turned to look at the mountain peaks in the distance, she closed her hands behind her and took a deep breath of the cool and fresh air in the mountains, and said with a smile: "Yes, my grandmother's family is rural, and I often went back with my mother when I was a child, and my grandmother taught me to weave grass rings." ”
Speaking of this, Ren Qianxue opened her eyes, lowered her head, stretched out her feet, kicked a weed, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity that my grandma left early, I left when I was seven years old, and my mother didn't take me back as soon as my grandma left, I was clamoring to go back several times, but my mother said that there were no relatives in my hometown, the old house was sold, and there was no place to live when I went back." ”
Ai Le walked to Ren Qianxue and looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said: "Although my family is in a town, it is also a rural area, we have something here, and we also have some things in the city, I will take you there in the future." ”
Ren Qianxue said excitedly to a little girl: "Really? ”
Ai Le turned his head sideways to look at her clear and beautiful eyes and said, "Of course it's true. ”
Ren Qianxue's face was red and she didn't dare to look at Ai Le, she walked down the mountain, and said as she walked: "Ai Le, hurry up, we still have something to do." ”
Ai Le could see that Ren Qianxue was shy, and he didn't continue the topic just now and chased after him, and the two of them entered the village after more than twenty minutes.
The villagers did not have any surprised expressions for the arrival of Ai Le and Ren Qianxue, the Red Pine Forest Hot Spring Resort has been built for some years, usually some tourists will come to the village to walk around when they have had enough fun in the resort, and they will also buy some local products and eat a serious farm meal, for which the village has also opened two farm restaurants and a local specialty shop.
The villagers all thought that Ai Le and Ren Qianxue, a young couple, had come to play or buy local products, and some villagers also enthusiastically asked them if they wanted firewood, eggs and mushrooms.
Ren Qianxue knew what she was doing with Ai Le, so she naturally shook her head and said no, but Ai Le felt that if she came to the village early in the morning, it would be impossible not to leave at noon, Zhangjia Village was so big, and it would take more than ten minutes to walk from the east end of the village to the west of the village, so he chatted with a few people who asked him if he wanted special products with Ren Qianxue, pretending to be very interested in the special products in the village.
After a conversation, Ai Le got the news that was very useful to him, he took Ren Qianxue to continue to wander around the village, and walked to a place where no one was around, Ren Qianxue pulled down the corner of his clothes and said, "Do you really want to buy souvenirs?" ”
Ai Le nodded and said, "I don't just want to buy it, but I also want to take you here for a peasant meal." ”
Ren Qianxue hurriedly said: "What are you spending this money for?" ”
Ai Le smiled meaningfully and said: "This money must be spent, I just heard from those people that there are two farmhouses and one souvenir shop in the village. ”
Ren Qianxue was surprised: "What does this have to do with our investigation of Uncle Zhang's family?" ”
Ai Le said with a smile: "Of course it matters, there were originally two farmhouse rice and two souvenir shops in the village, and it really happened that these two farmhouse rice and two souvenir shops were opened by two families separately, that is to say, each opened a farmhouse rice and a souvenir store, one of which was Zhang Shouye, and now only his family is still operating a souvenir store." ”
Ren Qianxue was confused by Ai Le's tongue twister, and frowned and said, "If you put it simply, I will be confused." ”
Ai Le clapped his hands and said: "This is not easy to understand, the farmhouse rice and souvenir store opened in Zhangjiacun is actually opened in his own home, no need to rent a curtain, no need to hire people, and no industrial and commercial bureau to collect taxes, so the cost is quite low, it can be said that even if no one comes to eat and buy things, it can be opened, but why did one of them close the souvenir shop?" ”
Ren Qianxue blinked and said, "You mean that Zhang Shouye relied on his being the village party secretary to squeeze out another one and let them close the souvenir shop?" ”
Ai Le nodded and said, "I think so too, but it's hard to say whether it's right now, but I think we can figure it out when we go to that house for a meal, let's go to Uncle Zhang's house first." ”
Ren Qianxue was puzzled: "No one in his family is in the hospital at all, what are we going to do there?" ”
Elle smiled meaningfully and said, "You just come with me, I must have my use for doing this." Speaking of this, Ai Le pretended to be bold and took Ren Qianxue's hand.
Ren Qianxue's hand was slightly cold, her skin was very slippery, and it felt quite good to hold it in her hand, Ai Le couldn't help but gently rubbed the back of her hand with her thumb, which made Ren Qianxue a big red face, she wanted to pull her hand out, but Ai Le was too strong Ren Qianxue tried several times and was unsuccessful, and finally helplessly let him hold her.
Cheng Ziyi, who had been following behind, saw this scene and immediately broke the vinegar jar and rolled up her sleeves to go over and beat up this pair of dog men and women, but was stopped by Liang Shishi, Liang Shishi didn't seem to be angry, no matter what she saw, she had an elegant and dignified smile on her face.
The faint aroma on Ren Qianxue's body drifted into Ai Le's nose with the morning breeze, this fragrance smelled very good, but he didn't know what kind of fragrance it was, he sniffed hard and suddenly said, "You are really fragrant?" What kind of scent is this? ”
Ren Qianxue blushed and said: "Xiang, you big-headed ghost, I came to you in a hurry and didn't bring any skin care products, I washed my face with water in the morning, is there a fragrance?" ”
Ai Le smiled: "It's really there, and it's really fragrant, don't lie to you." "Ai Le's shameless attribute has finally reappeared.
Ren Qianxue is very uncomfortable being pulled by Ai Le like this, some women can fall into the arms of another man just after breaking up, and they will soon fall in love with this man, but some women are like Ren Qianxue, the wound in their hearts has not yet scabbed, and it is difficult to accept another man immediately.
Ai Le's words also made Ren Qianxue uncomfortable, she always felt that it was very strange and embarrassing to hold hands like this, she wanted to withdraw her hand, but Ai Le said that she would not let go like a scoundrel, so that Ren Qianxue had no choice, and she could only let it go.
The two of them wandered around the village for a morning, went to all the places they could, and only after twelve o'clock at noon did they go to Zhang Shoujin's house according to the instructions of a villager, and it can be seen from the name that he and Zhang Shouliang and Zhang Shouye, the village party secretary, must be cousins, otherwise they would not have given this name.
Zhang Shoujin's house is not far from Zhang Quancai's old house, it is only two or three minutes away, his house is a newly built two-story small building, and it is also one of the few people in the village who has a two-story building, the house is very new, the solar energy is placed on the red tile, and the windows on each floor are pasted with the window flowers of "Fu", which looks very festive, and there are two big red lanterns hanging in front of the door.
The courtyard of Zhang Shoujin's house is very large, and as soon as you enter the door, you can see corn drying on the left side, and some corn cobs and pepper skewers are hanging on the wall.
A woman in her forties was sitting on a matza rubbing a stick, and Ai Le said, "Auntie, do you have a farmhouse meal here?" ”
The woman was Zhang Shoujin's wife, Wang Guihua, and when she heard that a guest pulled her, she quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, come in." After speaking, he took Ai Le and Ren Qianxue into his building.
Wang Cuihua's family seems to have not come to eat farmhouse meals for a long time, and she is quite enthusiastic about Ai Le and Ren Qianxue, making tea, taking melon seeds and peanuts.
Elle looked left and right at the room he was, it was not luxurious, but very simple, a boiling hot kang with a few corns hanging on the wall, and a kang table on it, apparently for eating.
There is no mattress on the kang, just a layer of plastic calico, which is very elegant, next to the kang is an old-fashioned sewing machine, there are some broken clothes on it, obviously this sewing machine is still used by the owner.
There is a floor fan facing the fire kang, and the floor fan is covered with a sky blue cover embroidered with lotus flowers, which should be made by the hostess herself.
In addition to these things, there is also an old-fashioned red long cabinet in the room, which looks like it has been twenty years old, and there is a blessing word on the cabinet.
Wang Cuihua brought up tea, melon seeds, peanuts and other things and immediately began to clean up the sewing machine, and soon the clothes on it were gone, and the sewing machine was also covered with a sky blue cover embroidered with lotus flowers, so that the room was very tidy.
Ren Qianxue was also looking at the room while sitting on the kang, and she suddenly sighed: "My grandmother's house seems to be like this." ”
Ai Le smiled and said to Wang Cuihua: "Auntie, do you have any special farmhouse food?" ”
Wang Cuihua said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, the tofu and soy milk just made in the morning, little brother, you really caught up with this tofu and soy milk, we are going to eat it ourselves, and all the beans we use are good. ”
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Who is Cuihua?" (To be continued.) )
