Sioux City ushered in the first windy cooling weather of the year.

It's November in the blink of an eye, but the bustling city has no autumn mood, only the breath of drunken gold, but after a night of strong winds, the messy streets are flashy, the sun is not as bright as before, the streets seem dark, autumn has arrived.

Because of the sudden change in weather, Chen Yi and Zeng Xiuying both changed into thicker coats and took the train back to their hometown early in the morning.

Yueqiao is a small remote mountain village, four or five hours' drive from Sioux City, where Chen Yi's hometown is located, and where Chen Long's bones are buried.

Chen Long dominated e-sports and was worth hundreds of millions, but the Chen family was not a family in the market, after his father's death, for a long time, his mother and he lived in the small mountain village of Yueqiao.

Along the way, Chen Yi looked at the scenery outside the window in a daze, and Zeng Xiuying sat beside him, also silent.

Three hours later, when the train arrived, Chen Yi helped Zeng Xiuying out of the station, changed into an old passenger car, and headed towards the more remote mountainous area.

The passenger car drove for two hours on a potholed road before finally coming to a stop.

"Moonbridge's, it's here!" The old driver who drove the car shouted to himself.

"Mom, it's here." Chen Yi put the backpack on his back and helped Zeng Xiuying get out of the car.

After getting out of the car, looking at the familiar scenery, Zeng Xiuying's face showed a smile, and her weak body leaned slightly against Chen Yi.

Chen Yi hadn't been back for three years, and from afar he could see the outline of a small mountain village, hidden in the shade of earthy hills and trees.

"Child, remember to call someone, your uncle and aunt are still there, don't forget!" Zeng Xiuying smiled softly and said as she walked.

"yes, I see, Mom!" Chen Yi supported Zeng Xiuying, and the two hurried towards the mountain village unhurriedly.

More than 20 minutes later, the two had already rushed to the bottom of the mountain village, but they saw a girl in a white coat standing at the entrance of the village and looking out.

"Aunt Zeng, Aunt Zeng!" As soon as the girl saw Chen Yi's mother and son, she shouted with a red face.

Chen Yi looked at this girl, seventeen or eighteen years old, with exquisite facial features, very light and light, red lips are also very thin and thin, white complexion, eyes are as bright as stars, she is about one meter six or six tall, her figure is green and lovely, and she looks very comfortable, like a peach blossom that has not yet bloomed.

Her white cheeks are covered with red glow, but with a shy smile, she gives people an extremely upright natural beauty.

"It's a premature death!" Zeng Xiuying looked at the girl from afar, and the smile on her face was even better.

"Uh-huh!" The girl nodded.

After Chen Yi approached, he looked at the girl blankly and said, "Young? ”

"Well, Brother Yi......" The girl shouted in a shy voice, she blushed when she saw Chen Yi, and her head was buried low.

"Wouldn't it? It's only been three years, and you've grown like this? Chen Yi was taken aback and said dumbfounded.

This girl's surname is Tao, her name is Xiao, she is the only granddaughter of her uncle, because she was born with peach blossoms, so she has such a poetic name.

Three years ago, when Chen Yi saw her, she was still an ugly girl with a dull complexion and a thin and haggard face, and she was still born with a pockmarked face, belonging to the kind that wants to have no figure and no appearance, there are many children of the same age in the village, but they are all far away from her, and people are divided into groups by similar aggregates.

But in the years when Chen Yi stayed in Yueqiao, he was a childhood sweetheart with this younger sister, and he didn't leave Yueqiao until he went to study in Suzhou City later.

Now Chen Yi doesn't believe the Tao Yao he saw at all, this girl with a peach blossom face and picturesque facial features is really his ugly sister?

"Young, the eighteenth change of the female college!" Zeng Xiuying touched Tao Yao's head and smiled kindly.

"No, Auntie...... Tao Yao was even more ashamed, glanced at Chen Yi with a timid gaze, and lowered his head again.

Chen Yi just looked at this "ugly" sister in amazement, so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

"Is Uncle Tao at home, dying?" Zeng Xiuying asked.

Tao Yao hurriedly reacted and said, "Grandpa said that you must come today, let me come out to pick you up, I almost forgot!" Aunt Zeng, Brother Yi, come home with me, grandpa, they can't wait! ”

After speaking, Tao Yao walked to Chen Yi's side, took Chen Yi's hand, and ran towards the mountain village.

As she ran, she said, "Hurry up, Brother Yi!" ”

Chen Yi was dragged by Tao Yao and glanced back at his mother. Zeng Xiuying smiled and said, "You go first, I'll follow!" ”

Hearing his mother say this, Chen Yi had no choice but to let Tao Yao pull him into the mountain village.

But he was very awkward in his heart, three years ago, Tao Yao was still an ugly sister, just pull hands, and now she has grown into a slim girl, and she still pulls him all over the mountain, isn't this deliberately embarrassing him?

Chen Yi was anxious for a while, only to feel that Tao Yao's hands were soft and boneless, slippery and a little cool, this feeling was particularly strange, which made his heart chaotic.

But Tao Yao was very cheerful, laughing while running: "Brother Yi, you haven't come to see me for three years, the weather is so cold today, it's warm to run!" ”

"I said untimely death, you have grown so big, and you are still pulling me to run, how embarrassed are you for me?" Chen Yi said with a wry smile.

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Tao Yao's footsteps suddenly stopped, turned around, his face was flushed, he looked at Chen Yi fixedly, stopped talking, and finally shook off Chen Yi's hand, complaining: "You still dislike me, Brother Yi!" ”

Chen Yi continued to smile bitterly and said, "Can my brother still dislike you now?" You are all the yellow flower girl who everyone loves, if I dislike you, isn't it eyeless? ”

A beautiful and shy smile bloomed on Tao Yao's face, and she took Chen Yi's hand again, and said, "Then you still said, come home with me, grandpa has been waiting for a long time!" ”

Chen Yi finally didn't refuse again, in his eyes, Tao Yao is his sister, she is pure, clean, and spotless. Like a peach blossom far from the world, and like a jar of wine that has been treasured for many years, she does not have the fame of the city, only the simplicity and innocence of the mountain village.

More than ten minutes later, Tao Yao was sweating profusely, standing in front of a low brick house, half of the structure of the house is made of rough wood, but some stones are used on the foundation, giving people a heavy but natural and simple feeling.

"Grandpa, grandpa, Brother Yi is here!" Tao Yao shouted excitedly.

"Chen Yi, is it Chen Yi?" Inside the house, two old men walked out one after the other, with their backs bent and a happy smile on their faces, it was Chen Yi's uncle and aunt, they were both over seventy years old.

"Uncle, aunt!" Chen Yi hurriedly greeted him, supported the two elders, and said movingly.

"Chen Yi, what about your mother? Why didn't you see it? The uncle looked eagerly, his eyes full of concern.

"In the back, my sister pulls me to run fast!" Chen Yi said embarrassedly.

"You kid, go in and sit down, the meal is ready. Your mother and son haven't come for three years, and I'm waiting for you every year, so I'm willing to come back this year! Uncle nagged into the house, Chen Yi heard his uncle's words, his heart was both moved and ashamed, he knew that every year his uncle and aunt were waiting for them, and every year they prepared a table of delicious meals, but because of the busy study in the past three years, only this year he came back with his mother.

"Brother Yi, let's go find something delicious first!" Tao Yao was in a happy mood, and pulled Chen Yi to run to the back of the house again, not listening to her uncle's words.

But the uncle just smiled, looking at his granddaughter and Chen Yi with cloudy eyes, with an inexplicable melancholy in his heart and an inexplicable steadfastness.

Chen Yi let Tao Yao pull him, and the two came to a pyre at the back of the house, there was a fire next to the pyre, and the fire had been extinguished at this time, leaving only a pile of warm ashes.

Chen Yi seemed to think of something and couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Yi, guess what's inside?" Tao Yao found a fire stick, and instead of digging the fire, she asked Chen Yi with a smile.

Chen Yi smiled softly, when he was a child, he often went to the mountains with Tao Yao to hunt game, what pheasants, rabbits, are their belly food.

"I guess it's called Flower Chicken." Chen Yi laughed.

Tao Yao was taken aback, annoyed and complained: "How do you know, Brother Yi?" ”

Chen Yi pointed to a discarded lotus leaf not far away, and smiled from ear to ear.

Tao Yao blushed suddenly, knowing in her heart that the dew was sinking, and the lotus leaves and loess must be called a flower chicken.

"Hmph, you're blessed again, Brother Yi, I made it myself!" Tao Yao smiled beautifully, and then squatted down to throw the fire, looking extremely focused.

Chen Yi stopped smiling, he looked at Tao Yao quietly, he didn't know why, he felt that Tao Yao's eyes looked at him were a little similar to when Wen Jing looked at him.
