Welling's grandmother's house is not in the center of the town of Bluestone, but in a small village to the south of the town.

Soon after Wang Qiuqiu left, the bus we were going to take also came, and it drove slowly towards the south of the town, until we reached a place near the edge of the town, and we got off.

"Bluestone Temple, Bluestone Temple Station has arrived...

The sound of getting out of the car on the radio was broadcast, and the three of us got out of the car, and the car closed the door and went away immediately.

It wasn't until I stood in front of the platform at this moment that I knew why this town was called Bluestone Town, because it was surrounded by tall and continuous stone mountains, just like what I saw in front of me, the whole mountain was scattered with a few plants, and the rest was either stone or loess.

We followed Wei Lin forward, there was a hole not far from the stop sign, because it was blocked by the woods and plants on the side of the road, and we knew that it was a cement road, and there was an iron sign erected next to the entrance, which read: - Jixiang Village.

Three words are also written in parentheses below the three words of Jixiang Village - Qingshi Temple.

There is no end to the winding cement road at a glance, and standing at the intersection and looking at the past, you can only vaguely see the appearance of a house in the distance, indicating that if this road is walked by legs, it will take a while.

"Arin, are we going to walk over? It's a long way away. Liu Ting looked at this avenue to heaven and was suddenly very reluctant.

"There should be a car, right?" I didn't want to walk over either, it was too much effort.

Wei Lin said with a wry smile: "We can only walk over, there will be no cars on this road, unless we are lucky enough to meet the people who drive out inside, and let them drive us in, this road is a village road, basically there will be no cars driving in outside." ”

Wei Lin said this, and we had no choice but to accept our fate, seeing that Liu Ting was not very happy that Wei Lin took the initiative to help her push the box and make her more relaxed.

The three of them walked inside, at first there were piles of weeds and small trees on both sides, and there was a small ditch on the left and right sides of the road, which attracted Liu Ting's attention, and she would bend over from time to time to take a look to see if she could find fish and shrimp or something.

The girl who lives in the city is full of curiosity about everything when she comes to the countryside, and when she finds a fish swimming slowly in the water, she excitedly points to us and asks us to come over, completely leaving the unhappiness just now.

"Hey, there seem to be crabs." I saw a small crab lying on its stomach on the edge of the grass in the water.

"Crab, where is it?" When Liu Ting heard this, she hurriedly asked me to show her, I pointed out the location to her, and she shouted excitedly when she saw it: "Ah, I see, there are really crabs!" ”

Liu Ting's stop-and-go caused us to walk very slowly, this little girl was having fun, I don't know where to pick up a small wooden stick, and when she saw a fish, she poked.

As we walked forward, the surrounding scenery changed, and the originally desolate land became rice fields, which were already full of lush rice in July, and should be ripe in a short time.

The ditches on both sides of the road slowly began to widen, and the width of the water from only about sixty or seventy centimeters expanded to more than one meter wide, and the water became clearer and clearer.

Walking through the fields, slowly turning along the road, I finally saw the houses.

The house is scattered on the right side, there is nothing else in the countryside is a big place, many houses are built independently, a large open space around as their own yard, from time to time I see a few hens walking leisurely in the yard, a big yellow dog squatting at the door, flicking his tail twice and looking at us passing by.

Continuing to walk, the houses gradually increased, the original field on the right became a residential area, this village is not rich at first glance, many people live in tiled houses, mud bricks and tiles have a very old feeling.

There were people sitting in the courtyard of some people's houses enjoying the shade, and the people who saw our city dressed up cast curious glances.

Liu Ting finally didn't dare to look around anymore, not to mention so many strangers looking at her, almost every yard has a dog, and when we walked over, we heard the sound of dogs barking at us from time to time, although the dogs were locked up in the yard, but the dog barking still scared Liu Ting, a girl, and now she is holding Wei Lin's hand tightly.

Welling had said he hadn't been back in years, but he still had some impressions.

Walking on the road, he would occasionally greet the people in the yard, and the two sides spoke loudly, but in the hometown dialect, and the speed of speech was fast, so some people couldn't understand, and Liu Ting and I stood beside him and didn't disturb his interest.

After chatting for a while, Willin led us forward again.

On the way, he explained to us that because he hadn't been back for a long time, the people in the village didn't recognize him, and they remembered his grandmother's name before they said it.

The ditch on the left, no, it should be called the river now, and I found that the more we walked this ditch the wider, and there was a wide step beside the ditch in front of us.

There were two women and an old man washing clothes on the steps, three of them talking there, and the two women were talking loudly, and we could hear them clearly from a distance.

Seeing the old man on the steps, Wei Lin's steps quickened and trotted some distance, and then shouted, "Sister-in-law! ”

The old man seemed to hear someone calling her, and stood up with a squatting body, Wei Lin waved to her vigorously and ran over, and the old man saw Wei Lin with a surprised expression.

"Awe is back! It's been a long time since I've seen you. The old man grabbed Wei Lin's hand and kept looking at Wei Lin, "You have grown taller and thinner." ”

(The old man speaks his hometown, but I write it in Mandarin, and "sister-in-law" means grandmother in hometown, so in order to retain some local characteristics, this title is retained.) ）

Wei Lin smiled and listened to his grandmother's words, and after talking for a while, the old man finally noticed us standing next to him, and Wei Lin remembered the introduction.

"Sister-in-law, this is my classmate Ren Sheng, a good friend of mine." Welling pointed at me and said.

Then he pointed to Liu Ting, and suddenly said a little shyly: "This is my girlfriend Liu Ting." ”

"Hello grandma." After Weylin introduced us, we greeted us politely.

"Good, good, good!" Grandma had a smile on her face, and she could only say three good words in a row to express her mood at the moment, and she especially took Liu Ting's hand and shook it.

"Yo, this is Wei Lin's girlfriend, she looks really handsome."

"Mrs. Xiu, your Wei Lin is handsome, and his girlfriend is also good-looking, what a match."

The two women next to her admired Liu Ting from time to time, and praised Wei Lin from time to time

Being praised by Wei Lin's grandmother and the two middle-aged women like this, Liu Tingqiao's face turned red, revealing a squirming and shy look.

Listening to the praise of others, the old man naturally became more and more happy.

After a long while, the old man came out of his joyful mood, and after being happy, he suddenly looked at Wei Lin's face with a hint of sorrow.

"Your dad didn't come?"

"No, he's busy with work, so I'll come and see you myself." Wellin told a little lie, but he didn't tell his dad at all.

Grandma said with reproach in her eyes: "You must not have told your father, you are a child, I told you not to come here." ”

"Sister-in-law, why can't I come here, did something happen before?"

Wei Lin asked, but her grandmother didn't say anything.

Seeing that his grandmother was reluctant to say, Wei Lin was not easy to ask, so he changed the topic: "Sister-in-law, are you doing the laundry, or I will help you." ”

Grandma stopped Wei Lin: "It's already washed, let's go back, your grandfather is not in good health and rests at home, he must be happy to see you." ”

As he spoke, the old man picked up the basin, greeted the two women who were still bathing, and led us home.
