In the afternoon, Li said to Tao, "Tomorrow, I must leave." This time, the mountain is high and the road is far away, and the mountain is blocked, and I don't know when I will be able to come back. The hometown is deep, and it is difficult to give up, so you can accompany me to the mountains to take a look. When I used to go to school, every holiday, we and Xing often went up to the mountains to play, chopping wood, collecting medicine, hunting, running all over the mountains, and almost all of these mountains were run and seen. Now, Xing is admitted to college and gone; The two of us got married and had children, and we were busy with this and that all day long, but we didn't have much mood and time to play in the mountains. In the future, it will be even more difficult to see it in a foreign land. Tao understands Li's feelings, one is to look at the landscape of her hometown before parting, and the other is to spend some time alone with her before parting and talk about her heart. After all, parents, brothers and husbands and wives are different, husbands and wives are people who share the same bed for life and death for a lifetime, and many things are not understandable and substituted by the affection of parents and brothers, so they nodded and agreed.

The husband and wife took Li Tao out of the house and walked along a winding and sloping mountain path to Nanshan.

When she first left the house, Li Tao still ran with them, sometimes running in front of them, turning around and shouting: "Mom and Dad, run fast!" "Gradually, I couldn't keep up. Li and Tao had to each hold one of his small hands, and walked up while teasing him. The hillside gradually steepened, and it was difficult for the child to walk. Lee said, "Come, Daddy carries you on your back." Tao picked up Li Tao and put it on Li's back, and kissed Li on the face by the way. Li Tao saw it and shouted, "Mom, kiss me too." Peach smiled and said, "Little things, you have to fight for everything, and you can't eat at a loss." Come, mom kiss you too. As he spoke, he kissed the child's red cheek.

A family of three talked and laughed all the way up a small hill, below which is a large pine forest, only to hear the breeze passing by, the sound of pine waves. Li put down the plum peach and said to the peach, "Rest your feet." This little thing is getting heavier and heavier. The two of them found a large, smooth rock and sat down to rest.

Tao sat down beside Li, listened to the pine waves, looked at the pine forest under the mountain and asked Li: "When we wrote the promotion materials for the development of scenic spots, you called this place 'Songgang Listening to the Wind', this name is really good, it is elegant, and appropriate, and it can also make people have many reverie." How did you come up with such a name? ”

Li recalled: "This place was originally called Pine Cliff, and there was also called Pine Tree Gangzi, which was neither elegant nor uniform. Later, when I went to high school and studied some classical literature, I felt that the scenery of this place was very beautiful, and there should be a good name to match it. ”

When Tao heard that the name was derived from the ancient text, he sighed: "It seems that people should still read more books, a point of knowledge, a point of degree, and a point of knowledge." Now, none of us can compare to apricots. ”

Li comforted her: "Reading is not necessarily in school, at home, in society, you can do it. When I get to Shenzhen, I'll buy more books and send them back to you. ”

Tao shook her head, still sighing: "Look, I can't be busy from morning to night in this mess of things at home and outside the house, how can I have time to study?" ”

"It's not that there is no time at all, like rainy days, at night. Mr. Lu Xun said well, time is like water in a sponge, as long as you squeeze it, there will be. Lee encouraged her.

"That being said, but who can do that? Reading is still in school, and the mind is useless. I regret it in retrospect! Otherwise, we would also be admitted to university like apricots, and we are studying at university now, how good it would be! Now, I can only squat in the ravine to farm and collect medicine. When you think about it, it's really boring. When Li Tao is older, I should really go to school again. ”

"I support you. The past is in the past, and there is no need to regret it too much. The ancients said that the deceased did not admonish, but the coming could be chased. If you can't get into college, you will find another way out. If you can't leave home, just study while waiting to participate in the tourism development of your hometown, which may not be a promising job. ”

"It seems that this is the only way out for me. I hope that someone will come to invest in development as soon as possible, Li Tao is getting bigger, and I am also looking for a job. Tao still bets his personal career on the tourism development of his hometown.

The two left the "Songgang Listening to the Wind", climbed all the way along the stone steps, and came to the "Qingyun Cliff". The mountains here are steep, reaching into the blue sky, as if white clouds are floating by, and you can catch them.

Li said: "This name is left by the older generation, it is concise and bright, but it is not bad, it shows that the working people are also knowledgeable." ”

Peach said, "I've come up with a better name for it, it's 'Purple Qi Donglai'. ”

Li was puzzled for a moment and said, "How did you come up with such a strange name?" ”

Momo explains: "When I think of tourism development, I think of this first. The mountains in this area are the highest and the valleys are the deepest. One morning I came here to collect medicine, just in time for the sun to come out, shining on the Qingyun Cliff, only to see that the mountains and mountains were full of mist turned purple red, and the sky was full of purple clouds, which was very spectacular. I immediately remembered Li Baiyong's poem about Lushan Waterfall: 'The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke. 'That's right, the clouds and mist surrounding Qingyun Cliff are indeed purple smoke. At this time, another allusion came to my mind, which was the story in Liu Xiang's "Legend of the Immortals" in the Han Dynasty. said that Lao Tzu traveled to the west, Guan Lingyi was happy to see the purple air floating pass, and sure enough, Lao Tzu rode a green ox to pass by. Then I remembered to name this attraction with this idiom. ”

"Good! The ancient is for the present, and here it is called 'Purple Qi from the East'. Lee praised. He thought for a while and suggested: "Simply, on the highest cliff in the east, a statue of Lao Tzu riding a bull, in the morning, from the surrounding cliffs, Lao Tzu rode a green ox through the clouds, the purple mist before and after, both real and illusory, that is appropriate!" ”

Tao thought about it, became worried again, and said, "Li, have you checked the relevant books, did Lao Tzu ride a bull past us?" Don't be self-defeating, laugh and be generous! ”

Li laughed when he heard this, and said, "I said that Lao Tzu passed by us, and he passed by us, who can say that it is not?" "The Legend of the Immortals" is originally a mythological story, and there is no way to verify it, where to check? ”

Peach suddenly realized and said, "It's better this way." Let's talk first, others can't overturn it, so we have to approve it; This is called preconceivence. ”

That afternoon, they looked at several familiar attractions, even the Dripping Cliff where they had sex together, and sat with each other on the big slate where they slept for a while, and named the stone "Love Stone". "It's the best name and it's attractive," Lee said. You make up a love story, just like the Cowherd and Weaver Girl and Liang Zhu, in the future, young men and women who fall in love will definitely compete to see this stone, and our tourism here will be on fire. Peach believed it and said, "When you leave, I will definitely think about it and make up a touching love story." ”

They kept watching the scenery and talking, reminiscing about the past, and looking forward to the future, until it was dark before they returned home with Li Tao on their backs.

After dinner, Li Tao was tired and went to bed early. Putting their son to sleep, Li and Tao washed it briefly and went to bed. This is not good in the mountains, when it is night, it is dark outside, the mountain wind is howling, and the people of each family are in their own homes; Now that the electricity is on, you can still listen to the radio, rich people, watch TV, before, rely on a little pine to illuminate, no big deal, the family went to bed early. The whole mountain village, except for the occasional wind blowing the trees and a few owls barking dogs, was silent.

Tao got into bed, moved Li Tao to the other end of the bed, covered the quilt, and said to Li: "You are leaving tomorrow, I will accompany you tonight, leave you a little thought, don't go to Shenzhen, see the beautiful women on the street, show off the flowers, empathize and don't love, forget me." ”

Lee said, "What is this talking about? Although I have never been to Shenzhen, I have lived in the county for three years, and I have seen a few demonic women. Where are they beautiful? It's just coquettish. Their beauty is all made up of makeup, permed hair, and fashioned. Except for the decoration, it is uglier than the white bone spirit. Such as you and apricots, that is clear water out of hibiscus, natural carving, is natural beauty, real beauty! ”

The two slept side by side, Li looked at the peach powder face like a flower and the skin like jade, but because of the poverty of the family, the lack of grooming and moisturizing, because he said:

"Look at your figure, this skin, the child is so old, and he is still the same as the yellow flower girl; In the future, when we have money, we can put on fashion and makeup, and you can be a model! ”

Tao smiled and said, "In the eyes of the lover, in fact, how can I be as good as you say?" In the past two years, I have been working in the fields and mountains every day, and my skin has become rough due to the wind and sun. ”

"It's just what you feel. In fact, your skin is not rough at all, it is smooth and moisturized, and it is very comfortable to touch. When I earn money from my part-time job, I will buy you a few more sets of fashion, buy some cosmetics, and dress my wife up beautifully, you are educated, and you can really go to the kitchen and the hall. When the tourism in your hometown starts, you will become a tour guide and introduce Daliang Mountain to the whole of China and the world. ”

Tao said: "I hope that this day will come as soon as possible, so that my books over the years have not been read in vain, and let Xing laugh at me less." ”

Li Xianghe said: "No matter what line of work, as long as you do the results, people can only admire and praise, and no one will laugh at you." ”

Tao's face was crimson, and she remembered that Li was about to leave her, and she didn't know when they would be together again, and sighed and said:

"Tourism in the township, I don't know when it will start, you are not at home, women are pleasing to themselves, who am I dressed up so beautiful?"

Li had no choice but to comfort her: "We have beautiful mountains and rivers here, and in the long run, tourism will definitely be carried out." As for us, the separation is only temporary. I'll be back as soon as I make money. This is my home, my roots, how can I leave it alone? We have money, I want to build a building, buy furniture, buy new clothes, tidy up the family beautifully, dress you up beautifully, and then take you to visit the classmates in the county seat, and compare with them, who are we in the mountains worse than? Who is my wife worse than? I want them to envy Daliang Mountain and envy you! ”

Momo listened to Lee's words and regained her spirits. She twisted on Li and said, "I'm not a pet, what should I compare to?" If you can do this, I will be content in this life. ”

"Trust me, it will happen. For the time being, we have to endure the loneliness of separation, the hardships and tribulations. The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The melon is bitter first and then sweet, and people can only ripen and succeed after grinding. This is philosophy. ”

Thinking of the separation and tribulation, Tao still couldn't bear it, and said: "Working for foreigners, I heard that the system is very strict, and the work is also very heavy, and you have to work for more than ten hours a day, when have you suffered this kind of suffering?" Don't go, stay at home with me and wait for the development of tourism in the township. So many people in the village can live and wait, we can also live and wait, so why go out and explore? Peach hugged Li tightly.

Li pushed her hand away and said, "No, this time, I must go, I can't wait any longer." In the past two years, I have seen enough of the white eyes of the villagers, ridiculed, and endured enough of the contempt and distrust of my parents, and I really can't bear it anymore! You know, my ideals were never like that. If we want to live a different life like them, we have to go on adventures, adventures! ”

Tao knew that Li had made up his mind to go this time, and there was no room for redemption, so he stopped persuading. Just hugged him tightly and let Li feel her love and reluctance.

The next day, the family got up early, had breakfast with Li, and then saw him off. Li's parents and two younger brothers helped Li carry his luggage and took him to the side of the road at the entrance of the village. Tao still couldn't bear to be separated, hugged Li Tao, and sent it to the county seat. Along the way, the two complained to each other, told each other to take care, and told each other thousands of instructions, until the bus station, looking at Li Deng's car going south, Fang returned with tears.
