Yao Yi knew what he was thinking, and looked at him with a meaningful smile on his face, "Really? You're a little too fast this time! ”

Gu Xiao smiled slyly at her, and said seriously: "Let it pass, let's go past, we should look forward." ”

Yao Yi was amused by his words and laughed without image, "It's not right to run away, the past is also a part of our lives, I don't think we can forget it." ”

Gu Xiao was angry and funny, Yao Yi's back was not far from a piece of green bamboo, reflected in the water, lining the water clear, above her head, blue sky and white clouds, the sun was not dazzling, but he looked at the brilliant words on Yao Yi's face, and felt very dazzling.

Yao Yi was still laughing happily, and was suddenly kissed on the forehead by Gu Xiao, she instantly smiled and looked at Gu Xiao in a daze.

The two of them have done everything they should have done, and the number of kisses is too many to count, but Yao Yi was kissed by him so suddenly, and his heart still trembled, and a little joy spread from the bottom of his heart.

"There used to be an orange tree next to here," Yao Yi stood up and pointed to the back of the green bamboo to introduce Gu Xiao, "When autumn comes, it will be full of oranges, and you can pick a basket of them." ”

"Why is that gone?" Gu Xiao asked.

"It's been too long, it's old, it's been cut down," Yao Yi finished speaking, pointing to the mountain behind, "In the past, the fruit trees, apples, pears, and tea planted in the second half of the mountain have been changed to chestnuts, chestnuts, you know?" ”

"I know, I haven't seen it," Gu Xiao said honestly, he must have eaten it, but he really hasn't seen what it looks like.

"Then let's go up the mountain in the afternoon to have a look, this season, it should be ripe!" Yao Yi hasn't been back in the past few years, and she has listened to Zeng Yulan, and according to the time, it should be ready to eat.

Gu Xiao nodded, and the two of them went up to the old house, the house had been empty for a few years, and no one had cleaned it, the door had been open for so long, and when I went in, I could still smell the smell of thick dust, and this old house, the light was not good, so I had to turn on the lights when I entered the house.

In the middle of the living room hung a light bulb that glowed a very dim yellow, barely enough to see a square table, a few chairs, and a few benches, and two dilapidated cabinets.

The one on the side of the door made the shape of an attic, and there was a ladder next to it, Yao Yi introduced to Gu Xiao, "In the past, my parents put some waste things on it, and let go of some firewood or something, it was quite scary, there were snakes in it, and they climbed out and wrapped around the beams of the house." ”

Gu Xiao imagined the scene for a moment, and inexplicably felt a little panicked, "You're not afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid, why aren't you afraid!" Yao Yi hugged Gu Xiao's arm, "My dad was not at home at the time, I was afraid of death with Yunduo and my mother, or my brother was brave, climbed up and caught the snake, and then took it to the back mountain and threw it." ”

"It's just catching a snake, it's not heroic," Gu Xiao said lightly, he really didn't like her praising Zheng Yunyi so much, he was really uninformed.

"It's very powerful, okay, ordinary people don't dare to touch it," Yao Yi disagreed with Gu Xiao's statement, after all, everyone was still young at that time, she was scared to cry, Zheng Yunyi was really brave!

Gu Xiao glanced at her and didn't speak, Yao Yi introduced him to the structure of the house, the front one on the left was Zeng Yulan and Zheng Jun's bedroom, next to it was Zheng Yunyi's room, and the one on the right was where she and Zheng Yunduo lived, and the room next to it was empty with some sundries, stored rice and the like.

Gu Xiao was not interested in these, and followed Yao Yi to the room where she lived to take a look, a few square meters, there were two small beds of one meter two, a cabinet against the wall, two desks, and no separate toilet, which was clear at a glance.

There was light coming in from the window, much brighter than the darkness of the living room.

"Don't you have four rooms in this house? Why did you squeeze into a room with Zheng Yunyi? Gu Xiao asked casually.

"Isn't that young, just here, and scared to live by yourself?" Yao Yi touched his nose and felt that he was a little cautious, such a small matter, they were very simple, they couldn't care about it like that!

Gu Xiao didn't say anything, Yao Yi took him to the kitchen to have a look, and passed through Zeng Yulan and Zheng Jun's room, and he could enter the kitchen.

The kitchen was later erected next to it, and another door was opened to connect to the main house, but it was next to the yard, and there was also a door, which was easy to get in and out.

The kitchen was made of clay stoves, made of yellow mud, a cabinet of unknown color, covered with dust, a pile of wood in the corner, which was supposed to be used for burning, and a small bench next to it.

The house is so simple that it is clear at a glance, shabby and dilapidated, but it is the place where Yao Yi has lived for more than ten years, but this should not be what she has to experience.

"Why do you have that expression?" Yao Yi couldn't help but smile when he saw Gu Xiao looking at her with pity.

"I asked you before if you blamed your grandfather and parents, and now I want to ask again," Gu Xiao said what he thought directly.

Yao Yi felt that it might be different from what she had seen with her own eyes, and seeing it with her own eyes would definitely be more impactful, Zhou Shiwen and they had never been here, and they didn't know what the house she had lived in for more than ten years was like, and she didn't want them to know.

But Gu Xiao is different, I don't know why, she wants him to understand her past, and she is willing to tell him all her experiences, as if she can make up for the past that they have not participated in each other.

At the same time, it can let them understand each other more deeply, just like if she understands him for a point, she likes him a little more, she thinks that if Gu Xiao is willing, then she will let him understand her past.

"Hate or not, there is no meaning, after all, it is all in the past," Yao Yi chuckled and said slowly, "Every experience we have is something we can't predict, maybe I seem to have lost more than ten years of glory and wealth, but at the same time, I have gained family affection that others can't experience, and this experience, what I am most grateful for should be that I met you." ”

This seemingly reasonable statement finally evolved into a confession.

Gu Xiao smiled, "This really seems like something you can say." ”

She is always so optimistic, and she can find out the good aspects of bad things, and at the same time comfort herself that she is not nothing, in fact, she still has something.

……

The two received a call from Zeng Yulan, so they went back together, and when they got home, the meal was ready, Yao Yi and Gu Xiao finished eating, went upstairs to clean up the room, and then slept for a while.

After waking up, Yao Yi told Zeng Yulan to go to the back mountain to hunt chestnuts, Zeng Yulan found tools and went with them, leaving Zheng Jun to rest at home alone.

"Some time ago, I was talking to your dad that I was going to come back to harvest chestnuts," Zeng Yulan said as she walked, saying that she was afraid of being stolen, and that she was too old to fall to the ground and be ruined.

chattered to the back mountain, climbed up the steps, Zeng Yulan found the piece contracted by their family, Yao Yi saw that there was really a lot of fall on the ground.

"It's all chestnut trees?" Gu Xiao asked uncertainly, after all, it was not quite the same as he imagined, what was this thorn ball hanging all over the tree, was it really a chestnut?

"That's right!" Yao Yi smiled, "The ones you eat are all peeled by people with two layers of shells, and I will find you a tender one later, and peel it for you to taste." ”

Gu Xiao looked at these things really very novel, he hadn't been to the countryside much, and he went to a manor with his friends, which was not quite the same as this kind of primitive village.

Zeng Yulan moved quickly, grabbed the thorn ball with fire tongs and threw it into the bag, and went back to pry it open again, so that it was faster.

Yao Yi picked up some and put them in the basket, looked at the cracked ones, stepped on them, and then broke them with pliers, then took out the chestnuts, peeled them, peeled them, and exposed the yellow chestnuts inside.

When Gu Xiao saw such a chestnut, he was sure that this was indeed what he had eaten, so he ate one with Yao Yi's hand, sweet and crunchy.

"How? Is it sweet? Yao Yi asked expectantly, and then tasted one himself, "It's quite sweet." ”

"When I used to eat it, it didn't taste like this," Gu Xiao felt that this was a different variety.

"Of course, this is not the taste when you eat it burned, it is powdered," Yao Yi said, "Eat it raw, this small one is more tender, sweeter than the big one, and crispy." ”

Gu Xiao nodded, "Then you peel another one for me to eat." ”

Yao Yi found him a more tender one, Gu Xiao ate it, Yao Yi deliberately teased him, and after feeding this, he got him a little old.

"It's not as sweet as just now," Gu Xiao frowned.

Yao Yi laughed, "Then you can find it yourself." ”

Gu Xiao, "......"

Zeng Yulan looked at the two of them talking and laughing, and reminded them, "Don't eat too much, eat too much flatulence." ”

Yao Yi was reminded like this, and he didn't dare to be greedy anymore, nor did he dare to let Gu Xiao eat more.

The three of them picked up a big bag and a big basket and went down the hill to go home, poured it out when they got home, moved a small bench and began to deal with it in the yard.

Although Gu Xiao was making this thing for the first time, he watched it a few times, and he slowly became familiar with it, and it was almost as soon as he got to the back.

Yao Yi picked up the small sweet ones, put them on the side of the small basket to distinguish them, and threw the others into the big basket.

"Tomorrow you go home, take some back, peel them and freeze them in the refrigerator, and take them out and burn them if you want to eat them," Zeng Yulan said.

"Okay, I'd like to bring some back with me!" Yao Yi was not polite at all.

Zeng Yulan smiled, "Bring it, we don't plan to sell this chestnut this year, you bring some to your brother and let him share it with their colleagues." ”

"Okay," Yao Yi agreed.

Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, and continued to work.

After the three of them dealt with all the chestnuts, it was almost dark, Yao Yi said that he would take Gu Xiao to the back mountain to have a look, but he couldn't go, and he was going to go again tomorrow, and then he would pick some tea leaves and bring them back.

After dinner in the evening, several families not far away came to Yao Yi's house to sit and chat with them, in fact, they were mainly curious about Gu Xiao brought back by Yao Yi, and the topic was more or less inseparable from him.

When they were sent away, it was almost half past nine, Yao Yi and Gu Xiao took a shower and could finally go back to the room to lie down.
