Chapter 117: Flower Tea
The small fishing village is in the east of Suzhou.
Early the next morning, Wu Qianning dragged her little brother out of bed, and took a few little girls from the center of the city to the east.
Passing through a deserted concrete road, further on, the population began to increase again.
The elder brother of the Wu family stopped the car in front of a dirt road. Wu Qianning took two people in.
After crossing two dirt roads and turning onto a small bridge, the building in front of you instantly changed its style.
If the place where they started walking was a small village in a hurry and dirty, then after crossing the bridge, the village that reappeared was a pure and clean paradise.
The stone-paved path runs north and south of the village, and the other roads are littered with all kinds of cobblestones, and the mother pushing the bicycle is bumped into it, humming a song in her mouth.
When she walked to the door of her house, a three- or five-year-old child suddenly rushed out of the open door, threw herself on her lap, and hugged her.
The house was all white painted, the uncle chatting at the door was holding a fan, and a few children were jumping on the ground.
Wu Qianning led the two of them to the end of the road, stretched out her hand and pointed: "Na, it's that house." ”
Xia Suyuan looked up.
At the end of the road was a two-story hut painted with white paint, and there seemed to be a courtyard on the first floor, in which the creeper stretched out its claws on the wall, faintly showing signs of growing outward.
The ground at the entrance of the courtyard against the wall was full of flowers. Because it was already autumn, only the yellow leaves remained.
She led the two men to the front of the villa and reached out and knocked on the door.
As soon as I knocked three times, there was the sound of footsteps inside.
Someone came and opened the door: "Miss." ”
It was an old woman in her forties and fifties, with a floral apron around her. When she saw Wu Qianning, she laughed, and a chrysanthemum seemed to grow in the corner of her eye. She looked a little chubby, not thin.
Wu Qianning introduced: "These two are my friends, and I want to take advantage of this holiday to come here to have a look." So I got them here. You take care of it first. I've got something to do, I'll pick them up tomorrow. ”
After a pause, she added, "Yes, they just stayed for one night and left." ”
"Eh, yes."
The old woman answered.
She led the three men into the house and went up the stairs to the second floor.
Wu Qianning followed. The girls seem to be quite happy with the environment.
It's not that she doesn't want to play with her. The main thing is that this time Xia Suyuan brought another person. Moreover, she was not too familiar with this place.
In fact, she didn't like the tranquility of the village. She loved the hustle and bustle of the city.
She asked Xia Suyuan before if she needed to take two people with her to be a tour guide. Xia Suyuan refused very much in line with her wishes.
"Then if you're okay, I'll go first."
"There are fishermen by the lake. There is also a stream down the path. If you want to eat, you can go to the old Deng family on the top of the mountain. He has a grocery store in his house, and you see it as soon as you go up the mountain. ”
"There's a shop down there selling all kinds of gadgets. If you don't want to go out and play, you can buy a deck of playing cards. ”
"There's a lot of stuff in this village. Anyway, you didn't come here and leave without playing, and slowly groped around. ”
Wu Qianning is very relieved about their ability to find fun.
"Okay."
Xia Suyuan and Tang Wanran sent her to the door. When they returned, the old woman had already poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
The orange-brown liquid in the glass slowly smeared all the white water, and the shriveled petals inside slowly opened. When Xia Suyuan got it in her hand, she looked at it again, and the flower seemed to have returned to the way it was originally picked.
"This is a wildflower from the mountains here, and I went up to pick it in the summer. How about you try it and see it? ”
The flower is actually not big, but it is better because there are many petals and it looks beautiful.
Xia Suyuan took a sip and said, "It's very fragrant." ”
Tang Wanran also took a sip: "Not bad." ”
The old woman was obviously happier when she heard the feedback from the two people: "This flower grows behind the mountain. If you want it, you two young ladies, I can bring two boxes for each of you when you leave. ”
"Okay."
"But," said the old woman again, "it is estimated that the flowers are all over this season, and the place is behind the old Deng family's house." You follow the path at the back door, and when you get past their house, you will see the trees. If you want to go around, you can also go and have a look. ”
"Okay.".
With that, the two of them decided to go to the mountain for a walk first. And then go somewhere else.
