Ming Xinben was anxious about the road that suddenly collapsed, but he saw a figure with a hat walking straight from the rain from a distance, the heavy rain made everything hazy, not to mention that he covered his face with a hat, and when he got closer, he found that it was Brother Pinyuan, and said with some joy, "Why is Brother Pinyuan here?" ”

"With such a heavy rain, I'm always worried about you at home, so I'll come out to take a look, just now you were a step late, and we won't be able to see it."

Although Ming Xin is very happy that someone remembers him, but now the two of them can't go back, this is the difficult part of things, looking at the carriage that has gone away just now, and then shouting at him to stop will not help.

Pinyuan also knew what Mingxin was worried about, and said with concern, "It's okay, when the rain stops, we will naturally be able to go back, just now I was bent on the car going back to Mr. Accounts as soon as possible, and I forgot that we can't go back, which is a little sorry for you." ”

When Ming Xin heard Mr. Bill, he also guessed that this extra carriage was their car, they hadn't had a good rest for a long time, and it couldn't be repaired on a rainy day, so it would be good to go back as soon as possible today, and even if the two of them went back in that carriage, would this carriage be placed here? Accustomed carriages are also hard to find.

At this point, the two discussed going back to the village to find a familiar tea farmer to rest, and waited for the rain to stop before going back together.

The tea farmer picked by Ming Xin is not elsewhere, but it is the Chen family mentioned in the tea workshop just now, which is also normal, there are only two people in Dongguang Village who have not worked, one is Chen Laosan who has returned, and the other is Xu Si who has not yet returned, and it is natural to choose Chen Laosan's family.

The Chen family was not angry with the little proprietor who had gone and returned, and still received the two very warmly. The thatched hut of the Chen family is probably similar to that of the Wu Qing family, and the three thatched huts are the homes where the three brothers grew up, and the stove for burning the fire is a simple shed built outside, which is leaking everywhere at this time, and it has not been soaked into the house.

Fortunately, Boss Chen was divided two years ago, and he spent all the family's savings to build a two-room house, so that Chen Lao Er and Chen Lao San could each have a room to live in, even if they begged their daughter-in-law in the future, they didn't have to rush to the house like the eldest brother. Chen Laosan is a talkative person, and in less than an hour, he revealed all the small things in his family more than ten years ago, and it was only then that he learned what kind of life the tea farmers lived.

When we were chatting, it was getting dark, but the rain didn't seem to stop, Mingxin was a little anxious, looking outside from time to time, but the water droplets under the eaves had never been heard. The old lady of the Chen family on the side said, "Little owner, the non-stop dripping of water on the eaves means that the rain will fall again, I will cook first, and then see if I can go back." ”

Pin Yuan was also anxious, but as an elder brother, he couldn't show his timidity, his uneasiness would make Mingxin even more uneasy, so he patted Mingxin on the shoulder and said, "If you come, you will be safe, no matter what happens, I am here." After saying that, he remembered an important matter, so he asked, "How have you thought about the succession?" My father said it more bluntly that day, I think it was because I didn't want you to regret it in the future, you have to worry about it, and I really want you to be my own brother. ”

Mingxin pondered for a while, and said solemnly, "I've been thinking about what the relationship between my uncle and me has been in the past few days, I was really afraid of him in the early years, but later when he went to Chashan for a long time, I always wanted to see him, wanted him to come back, and praised me more when he came back, maybe this is what I imagined about my father in my heart, I have lost a father, and I don't want to lose a second one." ”

After saying that, he was a little embarrassed, and continued, "I have spent a lot more time in the tea garden this year than in previous years, I like the days in the tea garden in my heart, and let me go out to live alone, I may not be so happy again, just take it as my little selfishness, I am willing to be the brother of Brother Pinyuan." ”

This confession made the two brothers sitting on the same stool closer, and there was no more touching selfishness than this.

The rain outside the house was still falling, and the two of them were still trapped here, no longer panicked before, and there was no such opportunity to talk about their hearts, but they recalled the situation when Ming Xin first came, and the tears of Chen Laosan on the side were gone.

But Wu Qing in the Pure Land Village, life is not good, and the second uncle Tong and Wang Dongjia have been waiting here for a long time, since after lunch, they took a carriage over, and now there is no movement in this thatched house. Second Uncle Tong relied on his acquaintance and entered the open courtyard once, but the door of the house was locked, and there was no response when he knocked on the door, and before he knew it, it was already dark.

No matter how long it is to no avail, a trip at noon has scared the snake, and now it may be possible to wait on the tea mountain, Wang Dongjia settled the second uncle Tong, and then took the carriage into the mountain with himself.

The road is far away after dark, and the rain is still intermittently floating in the sky, even if the carriage into the mountain returns to the main road, it is going more slowly, it is dark outside the car, Wu Qing got the night lamp from Uncle Tong, it is difficult to support, but the Wang Dongjia of other families sitting in the car has not wavered at all, which can be bitter for the coachman who is getting more and more difficult.

People who have been in the Ma family for a long time know that this is known as the owner of Bihua Pavilion, but he is a person who came to the Ma family in the early days and grew up in the tea mountain of the Ma family, and then he was appreciated by the master and became a thinker-like figure, which is not an uncommon thing, but this person is more unsmiling to outsiders than the owner, so the people at the bottom are sometimes more afraid of this unjustifiable thinker.

Wu Qing complained bitterly in his heart, the spring life that Uncle Tong said was harmful to the entire tea mountain, and now he is also the person who was harmed by this sudden news, yes, the suffering of the entire tea mountain is just my back, just when I was thinking nonsense, there was a flickering oil lamp in front of me, it was time to go to the old man Ding who entered the tea mountain, at this time it was really like a light on the sea.

For a moment he rejoiced and raised the whip of the horse, and struck it on the buttocks of the stocky horse, and he thought that he could reach the place in an instant, but the oil lamp was getting farther and farther away, not good! The car got stuck in a deep pit of stagnant water... I slip. This was really a slap on the horse's hooves, and he had to turn around and say to the people in the car, "Wang Dongjia, the carriage is trapped, and there is the entrance to the tea mountain in front, you go first, and then I will go when I get out of the car and push the cart." ”

The people in the car really carried the lamp and walked away, they didn't even look back, they wanted to cry without tears, they packed up their mood and went to push the carriage, but they didn't know if God was against it, or fate should be like this, the carriage did not advance but retreated, and Wu Qing staggered.

When he was at a loss, a group of people came over with dogs with lights, led by the old man Ding who was guarding the mountain, and shouted with a smile, "Wu Laosan, it's hard to walk in the dark, and you can't walk with your horses' hooves." "It's not serious, it's foul language to see anyone after staying in the mountains for a long time.

It took a long time for everyone to push the carriage stuck in the mud to the old man's residence, two wooden huts, which were restarted after the flash flood that year, but more comfortable than at home, and tonight there were many people gathered because of the Chunsheng incident, and one room was no longer crowded, so they pushed Wu Qing to the room where Wang Dong's family was staying alone.

"Wang Dongjia, thank you just now, I called someone to help me push the carriage, and I also prepared ginger soup." If you say thank you, it will be smooth. The proprietor looked back and said with some mockery, "I'm not so stupid as to believe that you can push the carriage over by yourself, and spend some useless time, you squint for a while, and then go with me to patrol the mountains after the morning." ”
