Success is also a woman, defeat is also a woman.

Xia Jian seems to be inseparable from women in his life. Just now these bastards let him out of the car, and now it is Li Dongmin who runs out to relieve his worries, Xia Jian shook his head a little helplessly and said: "Then I'm sorry Sister Dongmin, I'll stay at your house for the night tonight, and I'll go again tomorrow."

"Alright! Then let's go" Li Dongmin smiled slightly, without pretentiousness, and looked very good-looking.

Xia Jian let Li Dongmin sit in the passenger seat, gave him direction, and the two of them drove slowly towards Li Dongmin's house. By this time the sun had already set, and there was silence everywhere, except for the four tires of the car rolling over the leafy mountain village road, making a squeaky sound.

Turning east and west, it looked like it took more than ten minutes. Li Dongmin suddenly pointed to a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and whispered: "That's where it is, it's very desolate, I'm afraid you won't be used to it."

"It's okay, you can live in it, I have no problem" Xia Jian said this, but he was thinking in his heart, I just stayed for one night, what is there not to get used to.

The courtyard walls are adobe, but they are high and strong. A wooden gate is very bulky. Xia Jian parked the car at the gate, and he planned to park it here. Unexpectedly, Li Dongmin said: "You wait, I'll go down and open the door, you better park the car in the yard!" “

In fact, in this wilderness, there is nothing to leave the car at the door. But since Li Dongmin said so, Xia Jian could only listen to her. With such a high-end car, if you don't have a key, it really takes a bit of effort to drive away.

Fortunately, this door was opened by a woman like Li Dongmin, if it was changed to another woman, it might not be able to push it. The car drove to the middle of the yard, Xia Jian parked, jumped out of the car, and helped Li Dongmin push the big wood and lock it.

At this time, a big black dog pounced and stared at Xia Jian. Li Dongmin shouted: "Huzi! This is a guest, no biting. Don't be afraid, it won't dare to speak without my orders."

The black dog seemed to be able to understand human speech, it wagged its tail at Xia Jian, and ran away with joy. Xia Jian put down his heart that was mentioned in his throat, he was not afraid of dogs, but this guy came out quietly. And he's like a calf.

"Laugh! The widow has a lot to do in front of the door, so I can only build a high courtyard wall and add this big wooden door. Besides, raising a smart dog in the deep mountains and old forests, I can sleep peacefully" Li Dongmin smiled and beckoned Xia Jian to walk towards the upper house.

There are three upper rooms, two east rooms, a thatched house with miscellaneous items on the west side, and a toilet next to it. Xia Jian is from the countryside, so he only glanced at it and understood.

Opening the door lock, Xia Jian followed Li Dongmin in. The furnishings in the room are simple, with a large kang spread throughout, and then an old wardrobe. There was a square table on the floor, two chairs, and a few bags of food in the corner of the wall. Seeing this, Xia Jian remembered what their home looked like more than ten years ago.

Li Dongmin smiled a little sadly and said, "You will spend one night here, better than spending the night outside." Of course, this condition is not comparable to life in your city."

"Without Sister Dongmin, my family is also rural, but it has developed a little better in the past few years, and it used to be like this," Xia Jian said with a smile.

As soon as he heard Xia Jian say this, Li Dongmin instantly became much more natural. She smiled and said, "Then you can sit casually, I'll hurry up and cook," Li Dongmin said, then turned around and walked out.

Xia Jianyi was in a hurry, and grabbed Li Dongmin's hand, he felt that this woman's hand was wide and fat, but very rough, indicating that she was a very diligent person.

Xia Jian shook it, and immediately let it go, he hurriedly said: "Sister Dongmin, you don't need to cook, I have a lot of food in the car, let's eat some together after a while."

"In the car, you better keep it for the road to eat! When I get to my house, there is still coarse tea and light rice," Li Dongmin said, and he wanted to go out again. Xia Jianyi grabbed her in a hurry, and the woman lowered her head a little embarrassed. After all, men and women are not allowed to kiss, let alone in such an environment.

Xia Jian let go of Li Dongmin's hand, ran out quickly, and took a plastic bag, containing a bag of instant noodles, ham sausages, and cooked foods such as beef jerky and chicken thighs. He also took two bottles of drinks, Guo Meili was really thoughtful.

Xia Jian brought these things to Li Dongmin, and said with a smile: "You look at it, you are mainly full, and there is not enough to be in the car," Xia Jian said and smiled.

Li Dongmin took a quick look, then walked to the corner, moved a small dining table, and then put all these things on it. She smiled slightly and said, "One person will have a box of instant noodles, and then I will process this meat and the like, it should be more delicious."

"Good! I'll leave this all to you," Xia Jian was very happy when he heard this. Li Dongmin took a few things and went back to the kitchen next door.

At this time, Xia Jian heard a slight noise in the east room, and Xia Jian guessed that she should be her deaf and blind mother-in-law that Li Dongmin said! People have lived to such an extent, and it is really pitiful.

As soon as the sun went down, it was dark on this day, and in the blink of an eye, it was already a curtain of colors. The mountains and trees in the distance had melted into one, and it was impossible to distinguish them at all, just a black mass.

Just when Xia Jianzheng felt the darkness coming, Li Dongmin had already prepared the cooked food and put it into the plate and bowl respectively, and also soaked the instant noodles. Xia Jian saw that the instant noodles were three servings, and he understood that Li Dongmin still had to send one to his mother-in-law, and he could see that she was also a filial person.

It was soon impossible to see clearly in the room, and Li Dongmin took out a kerosene lamp and lit it. Xia Jian used this thing when he was a child, and now it has not been used for many years, such as a temporary power outage or something, and everyone uses candles.

Li Dongmin tasted the soaked box of noodles and said, "You can eat it, you can eat it first!" I'll go and wait for my mother-in-law to eat the boxed lunch," Li Dongmin said, and stood up.

Xia Jian hurriedly picked a few pieces of chicken on the plate without bones and put them in the lunch box served by Li Dongmin. Li Dongmin glanced at Xia Jian with a little gratitude, and walked quickly.

At this moment, a mountain breeze blew into the house, and the kerosene lamp jumped twice and almost went out. Xia Jian hurriedly blocked it with his hand, and the kerosene lamp shook the candle head, and finally lit up again.

Xia Jian didn't expect that there would be such a poor place. He thought that Shuijing Village in Pingyang Town was the poorest place, but when he looked at it, Shuijing Village was at least connected to electricity.

Just as he was sighing for this place, Li Dongmin walked in, and she asked softly, "Why haven't you eaten yet?"

"I'm waiting for you, let's eat together!" Xia Jian said with a smile.

Li Dongmin thought for a while and said, "You are such a good dish, you can't do it without wine." So be it! There is also a bottle of home-brewed old wine given by a relative a few years ago, it tastes good, if you don't dislike it, let's drink a little"

"Good! I can't get this kind of wine now, and it's too late for me to like it, so what do I dislike? When Xia Jian heard that there was wine to drink, he was also in a lot of spirits.

Li Dongmin brought over a porcelain jar, which seemed to be as much as four or five catties, she found two more bowls, and poured one bowl for her and Xia Jian. Seeing that Li Dongmin was so bold, Xia Jian didn't say a word, picked up the bowl and said: "It's also a kind of fate to meet you, it's a blessing in life to be able to sit and drink together, let's take a sip."

Li Dongmin smiled slightly, raised the bowl and took a big sip. Xia Jian started to use his chopsticks, in fact, he was already hungry, because in normal times, he had already eaten at this time.

Slowly, Li Dongmin's words also increased, because through chatting with Xia Jian, she found that Xia Jian was also very approachable, and he never had the feeling of being condescending and looking down on peasants.

There is wine, meat, and beautiful women. This is the life that everyone wants, and Xia Jian is no exception. After three rounds of drinking, in fact, each person drank three bowls, which is already a lot.

Although it is home-brewed sake, it is also liquor, and the power of liquor slowly volatilizes. Li Dongmin's face gradually turned a little red.

Xia Jian couldn't help but ask, "Sister Dongmin!" Why is your family a single family and not living with the people in the village? ”

"My husband's ancestors have always lived here, and they have gradually gotten used to it. In order to marry me, a house was specially built for us in Dongwang Village, but then something happened, I moved here with my mother-in-law, and the house in the village is now empty and no one lives in it" Li Dongmin said this, with a very sad look on his face.

Xia Jian took another sip of wine and asked, "What the hell is going on, can you tell me, maybe I can help you"

"Forget it! We are far away from the emperor here, and even the government doesn't pay much attention to us, so what can you do? Li Dongmin said, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Xia Jian then thought about it, where did this Li Dongmin's family belong, he drank a little, and then asked: "This place is really remote, I feel that I have entered the forest area, where do you belong to the jurisdiction?" ”

"Of course, we still belong to the Pingdu City, but where you parked today, you only need to go a few hundred meters to the neighboring county, because we are too far away from Pingdu, and the government doesn't pay much attention to us," Li Dongmin said a little sadly.

When Xia Jian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he thought for a while and said, "It's not right!" I drove for more than four hours last night, why am I still in Pingdu? “

"Huh! You drove out and came back, so you think it's a little strange, this is what this mountain looks like," Li Dongmin said with a slight smile.

Xia Jian nodded, he let out a sigh of relief, and then said to Li Dongmin with great confidence: "Since you are still in charge of Pingdu, I can take care of your affairs, just tell me."

"It's useless, the officials protect each other, we ordinary people can only swallow our voices and endure our anger, otherwise there is no place for me to stand in this deep mountain" Li Dongmin said, tears in his eyes.
