Early the next morning, Liu Sanshi set off on a mountain bike, the seat of Hongchang Town Government is not far from Datangou Village, about ten kilometers or so, the road conditions in front of the five kilometers are very good, five kilometers later, it is the rugged sheep intestine trail, riding on the sheep intestine trail for about two kilometers, Liu Sanshi saw a steep hillside.

There is a sign in front of the hillside, and there is an upward arrow on the sign, and on the left side of the arrow is a line of words - Datangou Village.

Looks like it's going up the mountain.

Liu Sanshi was about to go up the mountain, and an old man walked down from the mountain, carrying a burden on his shoulders. Liu Sanshi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Uncle, may I ask if you are going up from here to Datangou Village?" ”

The old man nodded, pointed to the hillside, and said, "Go up from here, and go down to the top of the mountain, and the village at the bottom of the mountain is it." ”

Liu Sanshi asked again: "How many kilometers are there from here to Datangou Village?" ”

The old man looked back at the top of the hill and said, "Young man, this is up the mountain, no matter what." ”

Liu Sanshi smiled: "Regardless of reason, don't you just go up the slope and then go down?" Not much of a deal. ”

When the old man heard this, he knew that the young man in front of him had never climbed such a mountain, and looked at his mountain bike, and said, "You better find a place to store this thing, for it is a burden to carry it with you, and you will have to carry it halfway up the mountain." ”

Liu Sanshi smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just keep riding." ”

After speaking, Liu Sanshi rode on the mountain bike and walked up, the hillside was very steep, in some places, the inclination was more than 60 degrees, Liu Sanshi still rode away, and sprinkled tweed, the old man kept looking at his figure at the bottom of the mountain, and sighed: "You are going crazy!" ”

As the old saying goes, going up the mountain is not beautiful, going down the mountain to save legs, going up the mountain takes strength, but there is no danger, going down the mountain is different, you have to let the soles of your feet take root, otherwise, there is likely to be a danger of falling off the cliff, especially on a steep hill like this, every step you take, the surface of your feet must be really rooted in the ground.

Liu Sanshi was good, he rode a mountain bike down the hillside, and from a distance, it looked like a bird flying down.

Not long after, Liu Sanshi arrived at the entrance of Datangou Village, there was an old man herding sheep at the entrance of the village, Liu Sanshi asked him about the place where Zhang Fuchang, the secretary of the village branch, lived, and rode a mountain bike to Zhang Fuchang's house.

Zhang Fuchang's house has three tiled houses, there is no courtyard wall, and a woman in her thirties stands in the yard calling chickens, her upper lip touches her lower lip, and she makes such a voice:

"Bang bang!"

That woman looks good, especially her complexion, like a peach blossom, and she is almost as beautiful as she can be said. It's just that the clothes are a little shabby, especially on the feet, it's the end of September now, and she is still wearing a pair of sandals on her feet, the soles of the shoes are half-shalved, and she walks with a click.

Liu Sanshi walked into the courtyard and asked, "Is this the home of Secretary Zhang Fuchang Zhang?" ”

The woman glanced at Liu Sanshi and said enthusiastically, "You are Liu Sanshi's brother from the town, right?" I am in Zhang Fuchang's house, and my name is Zhenni. Your eldest brother said that you are coming today. He was supposed to wait for you at home, but there was a bit of loading and unloading work today, so he went out, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back in the future. ”

Ritouxi is a local idiom, that is, when it is about to get dark.

Zhen Ni let Liu Sanshi into the room and sat down, and then went out, and after a while, walked in with a bowl of hot things.

"Brother Sanshi, after walking such a long way, you must be thirsty and hungry, I beat you five eggs and put white sugar, you can drink it while it's hot."

Liu Sanshi didn't eat breakfast, he was really thirsty and hungry, but when he heard that it was an egg, he lost interest. He doesn't like eggs the most, he thinks they're fishy.

Zhen Ni urged several times in a row, and Liu Sanshi had no choice but to pick up the bowl.

Pulled an egg and chewed it in his mouth - boom! Why doesn't it smell fishy at all?

"Sister-in-law, this is the egg you fed the chickens, right? No fishy smell. ”

Jenny said, "Well, that's stupid. ”

Liu Sanshi ate three eggs in a row, but he really couldn't eat it, not because of anything else, but because he was full. Zhen Ni urged him vigorously: "Brother, eat, eat hard." You must be tired from walking this far, right? ”

Liu Sanshi said: "It's okay, I came up on a bike, and I'm not very tired." As he spoke, he pushed the bowl to the side, frowned and said, "Forget this, I really can't eat it." ”

Zhen Ni smiled: "Such a big man, you can't eat five eggs, your appetite is really not good!" Then he squinted his eyes and asked, "How did you say you came up?" Cycle? Is it the car in the yard? ”

Liu Sanshi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Jenny smiled: "Brother, have you worked in the circus?" Dare to ride up and down the mountain? ”

Liu Sanshi also smiled: "Almost, although I haven't worked in the circus, I have practiced martial arts." ”

"No wonder!"

After a while, Liu Sanshi asked again: "You just said when Secretary Zhang will come back?" ”

Zhen Ni said: "The sun should be about the same, if it's too late, brother, you can't go down the mountain, so you can stay at home." Anyway, there is a place for you to live at home. ”

Liu Sanshi looked around, where he was sitting now, there were two connected rooms, the middle one should be regarded as a living room, and there was a central hall cabinet against the north wall, on which was placed a fourteen-inch TV, which should be an object from the eighties of the last century.

In the east room, there is a bed, a table, and the rest of the place, there are some farm tools.

To the west of the beam, there is a partition wall, and there is a small door on the north side of the partition wall, and inside the small door, there should be a bedroom.

Liu Sanshi pondered in his heart, the bed in the east should be where Zhang Fuchang and his family slept together, and if there were other people in the family, they should live in the hut in the west. Jenny said that she has her own place to live, where is the place?

Jenny seemed to see his doubts, and pointed to the little door on the west side, and said, "There is one room where my son lived when he was at home, and you can stay there tonight." ”

Liu Sanshi asked, "Your son is not at home?" ”

Zhen Ni said proudly: "I went to high school in the city, and I will be admitted to university next year." The children are also competitive, and they are the first in the class when they return to the exam. ”

Liu Sanshi said: "Congratulations, your family is about to have a college student." ”

Zhen Ni's face suddenly darkened again: "What is there to congratulate, we are still worried!" No, it's been almost a month since the start of school, and the tuition fees haven't been paid yet. Seven or eight hundred in a semester, how can it be so easy to make up? Walking and farting, that's not talking. Your eldest brother had to go down the mountain to load and unload cement to make up for the children's tuition. It's better to say a little bit now, if you go to college next year, you still have to worry about people to death? ”
