Chapter Twenty-Three: Visiting Tianchi Mountain
Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't come back until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, as the protagonist, Chen Xin also asked himself to clean up the guest room for Kuai Jing, he didn't clean up his room when he was so big, Chen Xin set a precedent this time, during this period, Xiao Zhe and Cai Yan also called, and when they learned that Kuai Jing had moved into Chen Xin's house, they all told him in a strange tone, "Pay attention to moderation, take care of your body." ”
Kuai Jing helped Chen's mother to work in the kitchen, although she couldn't cook, but it was still okay to wash and play, Chen's mother also liked Kuai Jing more and more, and the two chatted very closely, Chen's father looked at the two people in the kitchen who were talking and laughing, and said to Chen Xin seriously: "Chen Xin, this girl is very good, cherish people." Chen Xin knew that he couldn't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River this time, so he didn't bother to explain.
Looking at this sumptuous dinner, Chen Xin smiled bitterly for no reason: "Nima, my own son has not been treated like this for so many years with you, so a little girl has come, and she is ready to prepare such a table, and Chen's mother estimates that she has concentrated all her housekeeping efforts on this table."
"Xiao Jing, let's eat, wait for me to clean up." Chen's mother said to Kuai Jing who was still cleaning up in the kitchen, Chen Xin knew that Chen's mother had a habit of cleanliness, a very serious habit of cleanliness, as long as the kitchen was not cleaned up, she would not open the meal before, and today it is estimated that she was afraid that Kuai Jing would be hungry before urging her to eat, which made Chen Xin have to admire the charm of the school flower, not only popular with boys, but even middle-aged women like Chen's mother have changed her living habits for her.
Although Chen's mother usually talks a lot, she always adheres to the principle of "eating without speaking" when eating, because she feels that it is unhygienic to eat and talk. It's just that today, Chen's mother once again broke this convention because of Kuai Jing's arrival, and kept chatting with Kuai Jing, Kuai Jing was not bored at all, but enjoyed it, and kept chatting with Chen's mother, "Xiaojing, what are your parents doing?" In fact, this question comes from an ancient Chinese saying "the right door", but now this year advocates freedom of marriage and love, but Chen Ma still can't avoid this custom, Chen Xin felt that this question was very weird, and couldn't help but glare at Chen's mother, but Chen's mother ignored it at all.
Kuai Jing didn't think there was anything wrong, and said: "My dad works in an Internet company, and my mom and my aunt open a beauty shop. "Chen's mother thinks that Kuai Jing's family background should be similar to her own family, and she can talk about it well, although she likes this girl very much, but she knows that she is not a small family at a glance by looking at Kuai Jing's dressing temperament, if the conditions of the other party's family are too high, she is a rich lady, Chen Xin will also be very stressed as a man, I have to say that Chen's mother's vision is still very long-term, regardless of whether the eight characters have been considered in that direction first. It was only later that Chen Xin learned that Kuai Jing's father who "works in an Internet company" was actually the president of Asia of the world's largest Internet company, which means that Kuai Jing is really an out-and-out Bai Fumei.
Because of today's happiness, Kuai Jing also drank some red wine with Chen's mother, the two chatted out of control, only Chen Xin and Chen's father talked very little, and ate vigorously, this kind of meal is not something that can be enjoyed every day, it is really a pity to waste it, just drank a little too much Kuai Jing chatted with Chen's mother about things when she was a child, her parents left her at a friend's house because she was busy with work, Kuai Jing said it lightly, but the emotional Chen mother knew that there was really too much sadness in it, and the little girl lacked some of the father's love and mother's love since she was a child, which was really pitiful. As she spoke, Chen's mother stroked Kuai Jing's head and said, "Good boy, I really hurt you, in the future, Auntie's house will be your home, and if your parents are not there, you will live at Auntie's house, and you will be my goddaughter." ”
As soon as Kuai Jing heard that Chen's mother was very happy to accept her as her goddaughter, she immediately called out to her godmother, and Chen Xin, who was on the side, was stunned, this is a family? The pace is too fast, although Chen Xin was very surprised by what Chen's mother did today, but this matter is difficult to digest for a while, how can it establish a deep mother-daughter relationship in half a day?
A home-cooked meal was eaten for 2 hours because of the relationship between Kuai Jing and Chen's mother, after Chen's mother and Kuai Jing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, they sat on the sofa and chatted for a while, and before going to bed, they did not forget to go to Chen Xin's room to tell him not to play blindly tomorrow, and took Kuai Jing out for a walk.
Playing by yourself is playing blindly, and playing with Kuai Jing is not playing blindly, what kind of theory is this, Chen Xin can't figure it out. However, I got up early the next morning according to the instructions, and took Kuai Jing to make an appointment with Xiao Zhe and Cai Yan to visit the great mountains and rivers of SZ, as for the sea, as soon as I heard that I was going to run, I directly lay on the bed and pretended to be sick, and I couldn't afford to live or die.
"This Nima will become a brother and sister?" Xiao Zhe heard Chen Xin tell the strange story that happened in his home, and he couldn't believe it, no matter what, he couldn't imagine that such a picky and difficult person as Chen's mother would like a strange girl who had just entered the house for less than half a day, and recognized her as her goddaughter. Kuai Jing said with a look of anger: "Who made me loved?" ”
Xiao Zhe readily agreed with this reason, the old saying is that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law more and more happy, and the mother-in-law should look at her daughter-in-law in the same way.
"Xiao Zhe, where are we going?" Kuai Jing is still looking forward to today's trip, and has asked Chen Xin where to play since the morning, but if you ask Chen Xin what is fun, how to play Chen Xin can provide you with thousands of answers, really ask where is fun, it is really too difficult for a person like him who can enjoy himself without leaving home, so he threw the burden to Xiao Zhe.
"Tianchi Mountain, although I haven't been there, but I heard it's fun." Xiao Zhe thought about it a little, the place he always wanted to go to when he was a child was Tianchi Mountain, but no one took him there, and then when he got older, he felt that playing games was more interesting than going out to travel, so he forgot about it, since he had to choose a place, it was still Tianchi Mountain more attractive. Although it is still in SZ, it is really not close to the city, and it takes an hour to get to the Tianchi Mountain Scenic Area.
Get out of the car, let a few people who are accustomed to the smell of city oil feel that the air here is exceptionally refreshing, although it is during the eleventh long holiday, but due to the niche of Tianchi Mountain, the flow of tourists is not as hot as other well-known scenic spots, and it can even be described as relatively cold.
"Is this Tianchi Mountain? It's so beautiful. Kuai Jing couldn't help but praise, although on the way to the hazy mountain shadow has been seen, but the feeling of the near is completely different, the mountains are quiet, the environment is really quiet, although Chen Xin They live in this land, but it is also the first time to come here, and I didn't expect Tianchi Mountain to be like this.
Follow the steps, stroll up, and take out your mobile phone to take two photos of the scenery as a souvenir from time to time while walking, "Didn't Chen Xin Tianchi Mountain say that there is a Tianchi?" Why didn't you see it? Kuai Jing always wanted to see what Tianchi looked like, Cai Yan once again opened his mind and said: "Big beauty, you don't want to take a bath in Tianchi, this is not an outdoor pool." Xiao Zhe also became interested when he heard this, and continued to tease: "It's okay, the big beauty is stripped naked and taking a bath in Tianchi, we happen to collect the ticket money on the side, and you don't have to worry about having dinner when you see the beauty of the big beauty." “
Kuai Jingxing's eyes widened, her cheeks were so angry that she wanted to fight after Xiao Zhe, fortunately Xiao Zhe ran fast, but because she ran too quickly, her feet slipped and she almost rolled down the mountain, Kuai Jing clapped her hands on the side and said: "You don't need me to do it, God will help me clean you up." Xiao Zhe rubbed the hand that was holding the ground, felt nothing, and continued to climb up, but before he was halfway, several people were so tired that they couldn't bear it, and the water they bought on the road had been drunk, they were really thirsty and tired, and their legs were no different from running ten laps of military training.
"There's a pavilion up there, let's go take a break, I can't bear it." Chen Xin gasped and said, Xiao Zhe in front of him wanted to sit down and rest quickly, insisting on the principle that long pain is better than short pain, gritted his teeth and roared and ran up, Cai Yan also trotted all the way up, Kuai Jing was surprised by the potential of the two, and he clearly looked half-dead and didn't know where he got the strength to start running again, anyway, he had no strength, and he rested while walking. Chen Xin couldn't leave Kuai Jing alone, so he could only follow her.
When Xiao Zhe was about to walk to the small pavilion on the mountainside, he looked back, only to see Chen Xin always following behind Kuai Jing, and immediately stimulated: "Chen Xin, what are you always doing behind Kuai Da Beauty?" Do you want to touch her ass? This time it wasn't Kuai Jing who was mad, Chen Xin directly scolded while taking three steps and two steps and jumping straight up: "You roll down for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu promises to leave you a whole corpse." Although Xiao Zhe was far away from Chen Xin, he was still frightened by Chen Xin's momentum and ran again.
"Have water to drink?" Xiao Zhe's shout surprised everyone, as if he had been shot in the arm, an old lady in the small pavilion halfway up the mountain was sitting there with two boxes of mineral water, and on the side was a piece of paper torn off a cardboard box that read: "5 yuan a bottle" A few words that are not too neat. Chen Xin and Cai Yan also followed, and when they saw that there was indeed an old lady selling water over there, they also forgot the deep hatred just now.
Touching his pockets and preparing to pay for water, but at this time, he suddenly remembered that because he was afraid that the money would fall, he packed the money in Kuai Jing's backpack, and at this time, Kuai Jing was still dangling slowly below, Chen Xin looked at the old lady's mineral water, licked his lips, and asked weakly: "Mother-in-law, the money is on the girl below, can you drink water first and wait for her to come up and then give the money?" The old woman instinctively collected the water and said in slang: "No, come and stuff." It means no, Xiao Zhe asked tentatively: "Is there Alipay?" "But looking at the old lady's appearance, I should have never heard of Alipay at all.
Chen Xin could only sit on the side and wait for Kuai Jing to come up, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to the two of them, which was used to slow down their strength, only Cai Yan still did not give up, he grew up eating a hundred family meals, and he confidently thought that no one could stop his sweet words, but no matter what he said, the old lady still shook her hand and said no.
Seeing that the old lady was skinny and past the age of a sixtieth birthday, and while still holding a flat pole to guard against grabbing water to drink at any time, Cai Yan suddenly realized a problem, sat back next to Chen Xin and asked, "So tall, how did this old lady get water?" After such a reminder, Chen Xin also thought of this problem, and couldn't help but be in awe of this old lady who seemed to be weak, and tired herself to the collapse of the mountain road, an old lady was able to carry two boxes of mineral water to sell, and then look at the look of Kuai Jing below, the anger in her heart did not come to a place, and she yelled loudly: "Kuai Jing, you hurry up for Lao Tzu, look at your sick cat, you are not as good as an old lady, the old lady of the family is not tired of you when she picks up two boxes of water." ”
Kuai Jing raised her head and glared at Chen Xin a few hundred meters away, and shouted: "Chen Xin, if you dare to scold me, I will go back and tell my godmother that you are smoking here." Chen Xin immediately sat down and didn't dare to accuse anything.
I never realized how long and the waiting was, and after three or five minutes, Kuai Jing came to the small pavilion panting with her waist up, and saw that there was a water seller, so without saying a word, she sat next to Chen Xin, took out her wallet from her bag, threw it to Chen Xin, and said, "Quick, go buy water, I'm going to die of thirst." Chen Xin was too lazy to care, took the wallet and diligently took out 20 yuan, gave it to the old lady, and took 4 bottles of water.
This is the most unpleasant mineral water they have ever drunk, it tastes as bad as tap water, because they are so thirsty, they can't care so much, so they take a big sip first.
"Mother-in-law, what kind of water are you? Why does it taste different from mineral water? Chen Xin really suspected that the old lady was selling tap water here. The old woman still has a good understanding of the truth that the customer is God, Chen Xin bought her water, and her face changed for the better, and said in slang: "Plug or head curly Su, Hao Su." It means that it is a spring at the bottom of the mountain, and it is good water. The old lady said very sincerely, and did not hide anything, perhaps in her understanding, mineral water should be no different from spring water. It's just that I didn't expect that the spring water under the mountain is no different from the tap water in this era.
Kuai Jing didn't understand what the old lady was saying, although it was hard to drink, but I used to drink high-end mineral water like Evergrande Ice Spring, and I had never drunk this kind of Master Kong's bottled mineral water, and I thought it was born with this taste, if I knew that it was mountain spring water, I don't know what the reaction would be. Chen Xin and the others understood and did not say the slightest radical words, except that their faces were a little weird.
Kuai Jing took out 200 yuan from her wallet and handed it to the old lady, the old lady was a little unclear, so, looking at Kuai Jing, Xiao Zhe knew that Kuai Jing's love was overflowing, and she wanted to fund it when she saw that the old lady was working so hard, but she always felt that this way was a little inappropriate, and she held a box of mineral water and said to the old lady: "We have to go up the mountain, let's bring a few boxes up." The old lady was very happy, kicked the money into her pocket and said, "Hao, Hao." "It means good.
After resting for a while, the four of them left the pavilion again and continued to march towards the top of the mountain, looking at Xiao Zhe holding the box of water, Kuai Jing asked: "Xiao Zhe, why did you move all the mineral water, I didn't give the money to buy water." Xiao Zhe was tired at this time, where did he still have the strength to speak, and Cai Yan on the side helped explain: "Big beauty, you are kind-hearted, but you directly give the old lady money in her eyes is an insult, she carries two boxes of mineral water to the pavilion halfway up the mountain every day to sell, I know that this old woman has a very stubborn personality, will she ask for your money?" She's not begging. Xiao Zhe just didn't want the old woman to know that you were pitiful for her, because she didn't need to be pitiful at all. ”
Kuai Jing was thoughtful, and Xiao Zhe's eyes became different, this boy who usually runs the train with a big grin will be so delicate, and at the same time understands that sometimes you can't just consider the problem from your own point of view, what you give is not necessarily what others need, just like the old lady just now, what she needs is respect, it is the money earned by her own labor, and the kindness she throws out may not be true in her opinion, it is a hypocrisy, and an insult.
"Okay, it's almost, Brother J took a few bottles of water, and find a place to put the rest, the old lady can't see it anymore." Chen Xin said to Xiao Zhe, except for the fact that these waters can quench your thirst when you are too thirsty, you really don't dare to drink it in normal times. Xiao Zhe put down the water, took out a few bottles from the box, put them in Kuai Jing's backpack, and said, "Big beauty, this is good water, drink more." Kuai Jing, who didn't know why, thought that Xiao Zhe was taking care of her, and nodded vigorously.
Looking for the mountain road, I saw a temple along the way, Kuai Jing had never seen a temple when she was so old, and wanted to go in and have a look, but Chen Xin and a few people were really not interested in wasting time here, so they lied to Kuai Jing and said: "Big beauty, the monk temple is not allowed to enter the girls, otherwise it won't be messed up?" Kuai Jing thought about this reason and seemed to make sense, the monks on TV are not close to women, and they should not be able to enter girls, so they gave up and continued to move forward.
Watching Kuai Jing leave, Chen Xin chanted Amitabha Buddha and repented for himself behind the Bodhisattva's house. Xiao Zhe shouted as he walked and couldn't stand it, compared to other big mountains Tianchi Mountain is obviously like a dirt slope, but it is really not short, a few people are half dead, and they are about to reach the top of the mountain, but they gritted their teeth and walked for a long time, and the top of the mountain seems to be so far away.
But fortunately, no one said that's it, many people like mountains may be because they like to climb the mountain, there are not many ways for people to stick to the end in their lives, only climbing mountains Most people can run to the top of the mountain, because they know where the end is, they will not go on the road with confusion, although they know that climbing to the top of the mountain does not prove anything, and there is only one meaning of "I have climbed to the top of the mountain" in their own life, but people always like to do this kind of thing that can succeed after the pain, it is better than I have experienced pain, I have paid sweat, But the feeling of still not seeing hope is strong, and everyone knows that climbing a mountain, as long as you pay sweat and hardship, then you will definitely be able to reach the top. Many things in life are not as happy as trying to climb mountains, and there are many stories of bamboo baskets hitting water empty. In contrast, mountain climbing has become one of the great undertakings where people can find a sense of success most easily.
The summit of Tianchi Mountain is not big, only half the size of a room, the first thing after the summit, several people are taking out their mobile phones to take pictures of the high-rise buildings overlooking the mountain, and then pile them together, carrying the closest place to the sky to take a group photo, accompanied by the sunset, four people with scissors at hand leaning on their heads and shouting eggplant.
In fact, climbing to the top of the mountain is not particularly fun, except for telling the world that I have been there, there is no other pleasure, what is really enjoyable is actually the beautiful scenery and stories experienced during the climb, but many people are too busy to go to the end and ignore the whole journey.
Although in the end, several people did not find where Tianchi was, but they still gained a lot, for example, Xiao Zhe picked up a strange-looking small stone on the mountain and brought it home as a souvenir; Kuai Jing bought two peach combs at the gift shop at the foot of the mountain, and planned to give one to her godmother; Cai Yan left a bottle of spring water at the foot of the mountain to take home to observe; As for Chen Xin, he gathered everyone's photos and uploaded them to the space for all his friends to watch.
