Chapter 401: People in the Mountains

The road to Hutao Village is not easy to walk.

The road is full of potholes, and in many places the road is not wide, and it is very bumpy to sit on an ox cart.

When Li Xiufeng yelled countless times that she was going to vomit, the ox cart finally stopped in front of a small farmhouse courtyard.

Suddenly, an ox cart came to the village, and many children were chasing the cart all the way, and the children were also curious to look at the big ox, and at the same time look at the people who got off the car.

The lively voices of the children also attracted the attention of adults, and some people in the village who heard the movement came out to see it, and recognized Hu at a glance.

"Ouch, Qiaoya? Is this to bring your uncle back to see? ”

The old man who came out of the courtyard next door to Hu's mother's house looked at the guests here curiously, not to mention, there were still fresh faces.

Hu's name is Hu Qiao, and in Hutao Village, the older generation calls her Qiaoya.

Seeing that it was the mother-in-law next door, Hu's hand tightened to carry things, and he smiled twice and nodded.

Zhao saw something, smiled and greeted his mother-in-law a few times, and then followed behind Li Lichang, and several people called the door.

At this time, there was no smoke coming from the chimneys of a few houses, and after a while, it was time for noon, but there was no movement to make lunch.

On the same day, Li Lichang took his family to Zhaojia Village after dark.

However, Li Xiufeng and the others went to rest after they went early, so naturally they didn't meet.

In the early morning, Chai Shuiqing was woken up by Li Xiufeng.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and saw the tiled roof beams, and when she turned her head, she saw that Li Xiufeng and Zhao Yue were dressed neatly.

"I'll get up now."

Seeing that everyone was up, Chai Shuiqing hurriedly sat up.

Zhao Yue was packing up her things, and hurriedly shook her head when she heard this: "Don't worry, it's still early." ”

Li Xiufeng thought that this place was close to the mountains and the climate was slightly colder than in their village, so he instructed: "Dani, you wear thicker, but don't get caught in the cold in the mountains." ”

Chai Shuiqing put on his clothes in response, wiped his face and sat on the edge of the bamboo bed to wake up.

The two people in the house didn't urge her, and when she cleaned up, Zhao Yue took a bamboo tube and handed it to her to rinse her mouth.

They didn't brush their teeth here, and they didn't have tooth powder, and Li Xiufeng also knew this, and pointed to a little green salt next to it: "Dani, you use that!" ”

Chai Shuiqing nodded, and stood under the eaves with the two of them to wash.

The courtyard of the Zhao family is not lined up, but the front and back yards are built.

Due to the topography, in order to prevent the beasts in the mountains from going down the mountain or other emergencies, the houses in Zhaojia Village are made of front and back yards, and some even have three entrances inside and outside, which is quite a bit of a big mansion.

Zhao Yue lives in the back, the old people in the family live in the front, and the stove room is also in front.

At this time, the front yard of the Zhao family was particularly lively, and before dawn, Zhao Yue's mother, Hu Shi, got up to cook.

Most of the breakfast in the village is multigrain porridge, which is said to be multigrain porridge, but there is not a single grain of white rice in it, it is all millet or chestnut rice.

In the past, the Zhao family ate it by themselves, but when there were guests at home, they would cook dry rice, which was very real.

In addition to this, there are also multigrain cakes, and the vegetables are mixed with some wild vegetables, in addition, the grandmother of the Zhao family also instructed her daughter-in-law to cook a few white water eggs for the guests to eat.

This kind of meal is a good meal in the nearby village.

It is that many people in Hedong Village entertain guests, but that's it!

To Chai Shuiqing's surprise, Li Lichang came, and he also brought his son and grandson.

Li Xiufeng pulled Chai Shuiqing and whispered a few words, which made Chai Shuiqing cry and laugh.

Thinking of Chai's unrelenting appearance, Chai Shuiqing understood Li Lichang's behavior of hiding very well. If it was her, she would hide too.

For breakfast, he was naturally warmly entertained, Chai Shuiqing was very embarrassed, and felt that his arrival was too troublesome for the host's family. 596

Looking at the children of the Zhao family, although they are hungry for eggs, they are not noisy to eat, and their well-behaved appearance that is greedy but not noisy is obviously taught by adults.

Chai Shuiqing could see that even if the Zhao family was an ordinary farmer, they also attached great importance to the teachings of the juniors below.

Thinking of the reason for this trip, Chai Shuiqing cheered up.

Everyone in the Zhao family is also cool, and after the meal, the grandmother of the Zhao family urged her daughter-in-law to bring something and lead people over.

"Ten eggs, I remember there's a packet of candy, you bring it with you. Say hello to your father and mother for me! ”

Seeing that her daughter-in-law took few things, the grandmother of the Zhao family also gave a few instructions. After saying this, he pulled his son aside and instructed the others.

"If they want to go up the mountain, you will follow, remember to keep an eye on it, and if the girl has any ideas, don't be restrained. Of course, be careful! ”

The grandmother of the Zhao family was afraid that her son would treat this trip as if she was going to her father-in-law's house, so she said a few more words.

Zhao Kangping glanced in the direction of Chai Shuiqing with some surprise, and really didn't understand why his mother wanted to say this.

However, he always knew that his mother had a charter, so Zhao Kangping didn't say much, and responded honestly.

Along with him was Li Lichang, which was requested by the Zhao family.

Li Lichang now knows Chai Shuiqing's craftsmanship, and knows that she has a big idea, and he reads Chai Shouxiao's friendship, so he went to take care of it together.

With the Li family's ox cart, it is a lot more convenient.

Zhao Kangping and Li Lichang sat on the wheel and talked, and this trip brought a lot of things.

He was a craftsman, and he made his own baskets and baskets, and everything that could be used at home, he tied a few with ropes, hung them next to the ox cart and took them to his father-in-law's house.

Hu didn't say much, although he was curious about Chai Shuiqing, but he didn't ask in detail, only occasionally when Zhao said a few words, Hu replied.

I have long known the gentle nature of my brother and daughter-in-law, and the Zhao family didn't say much.

From Zhaojia Village to Hutao Village, even if you drive an ox cart, it takes an hour and a half to arrive, and the distance is not close.

If you walk over with both feet, it will take you half a day.

There were Zhao Yue and Li Xiufeng in the car, so naturally they would not be bored, and the two chatted about what they saw, which was very lively.

Chai Shuiqing listened to Zhao Yue's meaning, the things they made up were collected by nearby merchants, and they came every few months, but they would not give a high price.

Usually all that can be sold is a basket or something, and it only costs a few pennies.

And Zhao Yue's favorite little things, but no one cares, mainly because they can't afford to give a high price, the price is cheap, and her father takes a lot of effort to make it, but it's not as follows!

Chai Shuiqing felt that because of the remoteness of this place, some of those weaving products were very delicate, and if they were placed in the county town, they would not be kept at such a cheap price.

They sell them as gadgets, but the big ones in the county town put them as works of art.

That's the difference.

When the ox cart was halfway there, Hu took out the water and food in the basket and handed them over one by one.

This is mainly because of the arrival of Chai Shuiqing and Li Xiufeng, so they brought cooked food.

Otherwise, they will only go to Walnut Village by themselves, and they will definitely not take some with them.

Even if it is a coarse grain, it has been ground several times, and the taste will not be bad. What's more, the multigrain cake is also stained with oil, which is a good thing.

Chai Shuiqing was not hungry, shook his head and waved his hands not to eat, and only drank a few sips of water.

However, Li Xiufeng ate two cakes, and Zhao Yue also nibbled on one, which caused Zhao to point at the two and laugh and scold.

From a distance, Chai Shuiqing saw that the mountain that stretched was actually higher and bigger than the mountain in their Hedong Village.

The mountains that stretch into the distance seem to have no end, and people don't know where they are.

Li Xiufeng rarely comes to Hutao Village, and she still remembers the last time she came, she had long forgotten where Hutao Village was.
