27, in the mountains

After careful preparation, on the 8th day of the holiday, Mr. Zhang's family went back to his hometown to visit his grandparents.

Because it takes nearly 300 kilometers and is a mountain road, they start to get up at five o'clock in the morning to prepare for breakfast, and set off on time at 6:00 in the cold wind. It took more than 10 minutes for the car to drive from the city to the suburbs, the road in the suburbs is still very easy to walk, so the car drove very smoothly, the speed has been more than 80 kilometers, when driving for nearly an hour, the car has entered the deep mountainous area, the road has become narrower, the mountain road has become rugged, and the uphill and downhill slopes are very steep, so the speed of the car is about forty or fifty kilometers.

Originally, I felt that the straight-line distance was only 300 kilometers, but now after arriving in the mountainous area, I feel that this problem is very serious, because they are all winding mountain roads, walking more than ten kilometers, and the straight-line distance may be two or three kilometers, the original estimated 300 kilometers, it is estimated that it will be greatly exceeded, the car has walked for more than two hours, there is a gas station on the side of the road, Li Xiangqian quickly turned the car in, and parked next to the fuel dispenser. Several people in the car got out of the car, Teacher Zhang and Li Mengmeng went to the women's toilet, and Qingfeng also went to the bathroom.

At this time, a refueling worker was found, Li Xiangqian paid him, issued an invoice, refueled, and the worker began to refuel him.

Teacher Zhang and his daughter Li Yimeng returned to the car, Qingfeng was already sitting in the car, and when the car finished refueling, Li Xiangqian started the car and drove out of the gas station, which was another rugged winding mountain road.

Li Xiangqian, "Mr. Zhang, I chatted with the refueling worker for a while just now, and I asked him how long it would take to get to Li Yufeng's house?" How long is the distance? Guess what he told me? Say that you arrived tonight is good, because there is a section of road ahead, the road is being repaired, the traffic jam is very bad, this road is more than ten kilometers, it is estimated that it will take about an hour and a half, and the mountain road in front of it will walk nearly 300 kilometers, the road condition is not particularly good, so the speed is not up, we at least need to add gasoline, it is estimated that we will be able to get to their house at about 5:00 pm, much later than we expected, so we have to think about where to eat. ”

Teacher Zhang, "No problem, I am very clear about the road conditions in our province, I also know that the mountain road is not easy to walk, I didn't think the problem is very simple at the beginning, so I borrowed a car rice cooker from a colleague, and a car refrigerator, I put it in the trunk, after a while we arrived at the traffic jam, we were eating while waiting, it was really not good for us to eat bread and instant noodles, anyway, the rice cooker can boil water, I moved two boxes of mineral water and put it behind, Otherwise, how could you drive this car so steadily? It's aggravated, we don't have to worry, safety first, it's the moon now, there are not many vehicles going back and forth, so we need safety first, if you're tired for a while, I'll change, let's two turn it upside down, anyway, it's a big deal to stay here for one more day, let Li Yufeng and his grandparents get together, this kid hasn't gone home for eleven, it's been half a year, and the two old people may think about him more. ”

Li Xiangqian, "It's still my wife who thinks thoughtfully, so people say that there can be no man in this house, there must be no woman, and there must be no hostess's home, it must not be a good family." Especially you, Mr. Zhang, is worthy of being a logistical background, people have not moved, grain and grass go first, and borrow a car rice cooker and send a car refrigerator, if you want to think about borrowing us an off-road vehicle, it would be good for us to run more steadily on this mountain road. ”

Teacher Zhang, "You're really right, why don't you remind me?" If we want to borrow an off-road vehicle and bring more things for his grandparents, you are really an afterthought, it is useless to say something, next time we come back, we will definitely borrow an off-road vehicle. ”

The car was still moving on the winding mountain road, Qingfeng and Li Yimeng in the back seat, from the moment they got into the car, the two began to talk, and Qingfeng deliberately checked Li Yimeng's Chinese texts.

Qingfeng held the book in his hand, and Li Yimeng recited it first, the ancient poems he learned this semester, a total of 8 poems, and Li Meng memorized them very fluently. Qingfeng, "It seems that your ability to recite texts has really improved a lot, these 8 poems, the recitation is particularly meaningful, the tone and intonation are right, it's really not simple, it looks like you are really a smart little princess, you need to work harder, do you fully understand the meaning of these poems?" Do you remember the meaning of all the words? ”

Li Yimeng, "I can write down these poems silently, I have repeatedly memorized the meaning of each word, and I also remember the meaning of the poems very clearly, even the author of the poems, the social background, I remember them very clearly, and even the annotations I memorized, otherwise why would the final exam results be so good?" It's the stupidest way you told me, it's the best way, every morning I get up and memorize it first, and later, all the problems are solved, memorization is really a good way, every time I recite it, I will have a new understanding, and every time I recite it, I will understand another meaning of the poem. ”

Qingfeng, "It seems that you have a good grasp, so let's start checking these 13 texts now, which of these 13 texts have you not memorized?" Or maybe it's hard to memorize. ”

Li Yimeng, "I have memorized all 13 texts, especially their social background and historical background, and the author of the annotations has also been memorized. I'm going to recite the first lesson to you right now, and you'll see if there's anything wrong. ”

In this way, Li Yimeng began to recite the texts one by one, and he and Qingfeng discussed the lessons together, some of the problems in the text, especially the grammar points, new words, and central ideas in the text.

It was in this way that in the process of Qingfeng and Li Yimeng checking the text, time passed quickly.

The car walked for more than an hour, and there was no section of the road that the gas station workers said to build the road, more than 11 o'clock in the morning, the car came to the foot of a big mountain, there is a gas station here, there is a small restaurant next to the gas station, several people got out of the car, Mr. Zhang took Qingfeng and Li Yimeng into the small restaurant, Li Xiangqian went to refuel.

The room management area here is not large, but it is very clean, because it is in the wax moon, there are not many vehicles coming and going, so there is basically no one in the small restaurant, Mr. Zhang took Li Yimeng and Qingfeng to sit down at a table, at this time came a waiter in a restaurant, this waiter is about a rural woman in her thirties, wearing work clothes, looking neat and generous, and handed the menu to Mr. Zhang.

Teacher Zhang simply picked up a few dishes on the menu, the waiter took the menu and left, and Li Xiangqian came back to the restaurant at this time and sat down next to their table.

Soon, the waiter brought four or five dishes and a large pot of soup to the table one after another, and served a bowl of rice to each of them. The service quality of the small restaurant is particularly good, the hygiene is also very clean, squeeze the dishes up, each plate of dishes is very large, especially the pot of soup, the green is the vegetable, the red is the tomato, the yellow is the egg, people look at the appetite.

Mr. Zhang's order is according to the dishes ordered by the restaurant in the city, I didn't expect the amount of dishes in this small restaurant to be so large, so 4 people ate hard, and even 1/3 of these dishes were not finished, especially the bowl of soup, 4 people have a bowl per person, after drinking the soup, there is still more than half a pot left there, Qingfeng looked very distressed, and unconsciously became a big bowl of soup, but there was still half a pot of soup left. At the time of checkout, Mr. Zhang asked the waiter for a few lunch boxes, and packed the rest of the food away, only the bowl of soup was left.

After eating and drinking, 4 people got into the car, Teacher Zhang wanted to change you forward, but her husband refused, because Li Xiangqian felt that the mountain road was particularly difficult to drive, so for the sake of safety, he did not let Teacher Zhang change him, and he still drove the car on the winding mountain road.

The car traveled for more than two hours, and at more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, under the guidance of Qingfeng, the car entered a small mountain village, which is Qingfeng's village, parked the car in a yard, and several people opened the trunk, carried large bags and small bags, and followed Qingfeng back to their home.

Qingfeng's home is in the westernmost part of the village, a few stone houses, it already looks very old, compared with other brick houses in the village, it looks a little dilapidated, the house is surrounded by stone walls, only the courtyard wall has no courtyard gate, and the courtyard gate is a wooden fence, Qingfeng skillfully pushed open the wooden fence and took Mr. Zhang's family into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the yard, Qingfeng saw his grandfather.

This is a typical rural old man, more than seven meters tall, a little hunchbacked, wearing a coarse cloth clothes, holding a dry tobacco pouch in his hand, the vicissitudes of life are reflected in the wrinkles of different shades, full of white hair, plus the white beard, although very clean, but look a little old. The old man curled his eyes and saw that it was his grandson who came back, so he hurriedly won and shouted loudly, "Ouch, it's amazing, child, come out quickly, our eldest grandson is back, hurry up." ”

Qingfeng hurriedly walked a few steps, hugged his grandfather, and grabbed his trembling hands, "Grandpa, I'm back from the city, it's winter vacation, I'm here to see you." ”

At this time, she came out of the house, and an elderly woman with gray hair rushed out, hugged Qingfeng directly, and shouted loudly, "Oops, oops, I want to look forward to it every day, my eldest grandson is back, you miss grandma, grandma wants to die of you." The three of them hugged each other.

Teacher Zhang's family did not rush forward, but watched this scene from a distance, the little girl Li Yimeng, and his parents, seeing this touching scene, the three of them all agreed, their eyes were moist, and Li Yifeng was even more tearful.

After Qingfeng and his grandparents' excited moment passed, they hurriedly pulled their grandfather and grandmother to the front of Teacher Zhang and Li Xiangqian, and introduced them to each other.

Grandpa said loudly, "Thank you, teacher, our child has been going to school in the provincial capital for hundreds of miles, and we don't understand anything, thanks to you for taking care of me, my old man thank you." ”

Teacher Zhang, "Uncle, you gave birth to a good grandson, who doesn't like such a good child?" We didn't take care of him, he was the best student in our school, and this kid was fine. ”

After the greetings, Mr. Zhang entered the house, and he was shocked by the scene inside the house.

In addition to a table of eight immortals and a few benches, there are several large cabinets, which are estimated to be used for grain, and there is a large water tank on the side of the door, and a large stone slab is pressed on top of the water tank, and there is a large water scoop on the stone slab. On the window is the window paper of Xinhu, how many pieces of glass are there under the window paper? The sunlight shone in through these pieces of glass, which made the room bright. In the middle of the room, there is a large pot table, and a door curtain is hung on the side door, and when the door curtain is opened, it is a usual big kang, and there is a kang table on the kang, but out of the kang is a kang mat, and on the feet of the big kang, there are several quilts stacked. Although the room was very tidy, it was empty, except for a table of eight immortals, there was no furniture, no household appliances.

When Li Xiangqian saw this, his nose was sour, tears fell, and he quickly turned his head to cover his eyes.

Li Yimeng was even more strange, such an excellent Qingfeng brother, his family was so poor, and his heart was shocked.

Qingfeng, went to the Taoist temple a few times, Uncle Feng was not at home, he could only regret going back to his grandfather's house.

Li Xiangqian's family stayed at home with Qingfeng for two days, and then said goodbye to his grandparents, Li Xiangqian secretly put 1,000 yuan in the quilt, and then pulled 4 people back to Guiyang.
