Chapter 63: Amorous Northeast
Xue Lian excitedly opened the conversation box and said, "Let me tell you how I felt about going to the Northeast this time!" You don't know that people in the Northeast are amiable and enthusiastic. As soon as I arrived in my second aunt's Tunzi, the whole village, in the Northeast dialect, treated me as their own relative. They vied with each other to invite me to dinner, and no matter whose house I went, as soon as I entered the door, they hurriedly helped untie my shoes. Go to the kang first, this is the old tradition of the northeast, do you know what the kang is? The pimple in the northeast is very cold, so I don't sleep in a bed, and every household sleeps on the kang. It's hot with fire, and if you come to relatives or something, you have to let them go to the kang, it's warm! So I went to someone's house. Invite me to sit on the kang. And give me two big handfuls of 'Mouk', that is, melon seeds. Then he took my hand and asked how enthusiastic and close he was. Although it was icy and snowy outside, it was more than 30 degrees below zero. But the inside of the house is really warm. Generally speaking, most of the people in Heilongjiang are descendants who moved from us, and when they broke into the eastern part of the country in the fifties and sixties, groups of them settled down in that pimple. They call us 'Guanli Family'. As soon as he said it, he rushed back to Guanli's house to have a look. Therefore, if anyone hears that they have gone from their hometown, they are very cordial and close, and the human touch is strong. The night I first arrived at my second aunt's house, everyone in the tunzi went to visit the house. The two rooms of my second aunt's house were crowded into 'oooo As soon as I said that I was from our Guanli family, I was 'which one'. People immediately asked, then do you know 'who is who'? He and I have a 'what' relationship. So the closer it is, although it is thousands of miles away, there is a feeling of meeting a hometown and a familiar acquaintance, it is a kind of kinship and affection that is constantly separated, and that scene is still vivid in retrospect...... In a blink of an eye, my second aunt has been settled in Heilongjiang for almost 30 years, and the number of times she has come is very limited, because she has children and daughters outside the customs and can't get away, so this time she saw me at the train station, crying snot and tears, and hugged me all the time. I always feel that my relatives are not enough, and if it wasn't for the start of school, she wouldn't let me come back. β
Xue Lian's eyes moistened as she spoke, and she sighed slowly and said, "HeyβI really don't know when and what month I will be able to set foot on that fertile and amorous black land again......"
Zhicheng looked at her sad expression and really wanted to hug her and comfort her, he stepped forward to hold her hand and said comfortingly: "Xuelian, don't be too sad." Nowadays, the means of transportation are so developed, and there are opportunities to meet again in the future. Now that we've started the winter break, you have to adjust your mentality. Otherwise, it will affect your learning. Zhicheng felt that her delicate hands were as tender as the powder skin that had just come out of the pot, soft and flexible. He grabbed it lightly and hurriedly let go, for fear that Xue Lian would think too much.
"Thank you, good brother. Don't worry! I'm going to get my mindset right, you know? It's very uncomfortable to hold it in my heart, and it is much more comfortable to be able to find someone to talk to. β
"Really? In that case, you might as well say everything you want to say to 'brother'! β
"Yo, don't take yourself as an outsider so soon?" She sneered mischievously at him, and then sneered, "Okay then! Today, our brothers and sisters are chattering. Don't be stupid, come, let's take off our shoes and go to bed......"
Xue Lian covered her cheeks crimson and said: "This is what I learned from outside the Guan, and the most enthusiastic sentence of the Northeast people is: Come, quickly take off your shoes and go to the kang...... By the way, you know the three major monsters in the Northeast. I'll tell you about it! The window paper was pasted outside, and the old lady's big cigarette pouch was hung up after giving birth...... Interesting, right? It's really a place where there are local customs, and one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people! If you want to say that the most enjoyable thing for me to go to the Northeast this time is to eat frozen pears, have you ever eaten frozen pears in the Northeast? That guy, wow cool, wow cool, it's really cool in the stomach! My little ball of fire shivered from the cold. β
Zhicheng was a little puzzled and said: "It's winter, it's cold, how can you eat that thing again?" β
"It's meant to be eaten in winter, and you can't catch it if you want to eat it in summer. The pears are frozen 'just' (described as extremely hard), like an iron egg, when you eat it, put it in the cold water, first 'pull' it for a while, and a thick layer of ice will be attached to it. Then crack open the outer layer of ice skate and eat. I'm not talking about you ice bastard, giggles. I don't know why every time I see the ice on the frozen pear, I think of you Xiaoice skater. β
Zhicheng scratched his head a few times, smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "It's okay for you to tease me less...... You always live there, and your parents don't want you? β
"I don't want to, why don't I want to! My parents supported me, an old girl, and I was like a 'baby egg' all day long, so my mother called me twice a day. Urge me to come back sooner. But my second aunt's family just won't let me go, not only my second aunt's family, the whole Tunzi people don't let me come, as soon as I heard that I want to leave, they all came to persuade me, saying that they wouldn't let me go, just like that, it's very close, every night a room of people, men, women and children all come to me to play, Northeast people have a spicy energy, one by one are particularly funny, especially bold and enthusiastic, I am embarrassed to come, of course, my mouth is also sweet, but also love to talk and laugh, so there are rare people...... So much so that some of the older Northeast guys have a crush on me. Really, I could see it in my eyes. Finally, because the start of school is imminent? So I have to come, that is, the morning before yesterday I set off from my second aunt's house, everyone saw that I was determined to leave, one by one took my hand and asked me to go again next year, that is really reluctant, according to the pity. Later, I stood on the snow in the courtyard of my second aunt's house and sang affectionately to the surrounding villagers a piece of "Silver Ring Descending the Mountain" in "Chaoyang Ditch", and as a result, my sincere hometown drama made everyone cry. When I came, before my second aunt could open her mouth, the people in the village took the initiative to bring two carriages to see me off. And the people even prepared the quilt, and the whole village hugged me and sent me out of the tunzi, and walked a long way before stopping, and then helped me and my second aunt and my second aunt to get into the carriage, and they all stretched out their hands to fold the quilt, and stood in the white snow and watched us go a long way...... Although it was freezing and snowy, my heart was completely warmed. β
Xue Lian's tears couldn't help but overflow again, and she said a little choked: "The two people who drove the carriage braved the cold wind to send us to Yi'an Railway Station, forty or fifty miles away from my second aunt's Tunzi, and when I got on the train, the two of them waved at me enthusiastically and wished me a smooth journey." Looking out the window at the two simple Northeast people standing in the snowy field, my tears couldn't help but fall, and I didn't say a word of joy and sorrow. Maybe in this life and this life, I will never have the opportunity to meet these two kind-hearted people again...... Originally, they would have sent me to Yi'an Railway Station, but my second aunt and my second brother-in-law said that they were not at ease, and they also got on the train from Yi'an to send me to Qiqihar, until they saw me get on the long-distance train, and then they were relieved to take the train back. It can be said that I have tossed people a lot this time. β
Zhicheng listened to her story, and his nose was also moved, and his eyes blinked frequently.
Xue Lian was about to say something, but suddenly heard the mobile phone on her body ringing. She subconsciously lifted her cuffs and glanced at the watch on her wrist, and smiled at Zhicheng Yingying and said, "It must be my mother calling me to go home for lunch." β
Xue Lian glanced at the display screen, put her phone to her ear, and said happily and affectionately: "Mom...... Hee-hee, Mom, I'm not going back at noon today, so you and my dad won't have to wait for me...... Giggles, I'm a little embarrassed, I forgot to call home...... Well, no! I couldn't get out. So be it! My daughter will go back in the evening...... It's not a big deal...... That's not good, who made your old girl the head of the class, and I have to solve the trivial things! There is a saying that the interests of the masses are no trivial matter? Hmph, don't look at me, a twelve-grade little sesame official, but I am dedicated to the people. Hey hey ......"
After Xuelian finished talking with her mother, Chong Zhicheng said: "I was going to go home for dinner at noon today, but I didn't expect to talk to you, and I forgot to sleep and eat. β
