Chapter 3: Meet the Mountain Girl
It's summer again, and the sweltering weather is annoying. Yue Chi really wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
So around 7 o'clock in the morning on a faint sunny day, Yue Chi decided to go to Jingning, a neighboring province closer to Xi'an.
It is a good place to escape the summer on vacation, where there are mountains and cliffs, ditches and hills, rolling hills, terraced fields, the whole village is filled with the fragrance of wild orchids, mountain flowers and valleys, full of verdant mountains.
It wasn't because the beauty there attracted Yue Chi, but because one of his distant relatives was there.
When he came to Jingning County, Yue Chi took a tricycle to Fenghuanggou, but the car ran out of gas on the way, and he was helplessly thrown on the slope of the mountain by the big brother of the driver who was full of earthy smell.
Yue Chi slowly climbed the uninhabited path, winding and winding, and the rugged mountain road.
Suddenly, the sky was overcast, Yue Chi walked for a long time in one breath, temporarily sheltering from the rain at the mouth of a cave, and when he looked closely, it was pouring rain outside.
It seems that this rain will not stop soon, and he is relieved. Yue Chi took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, quietly waiting for the rain to stop.
Thankfully, the rain finally stopped. The sun burst out, a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky, and Yue Chi's mood was as bright as the moon.
Walking all the way, inquiring all the way, it is really worth the emperor's heart!
When night fell, Yue Chi walked to the door of a distant relative's house, and a cool breeze blew in the sky, and it rained again.
The one who opened the door was an aunt, and according to the rules of the ancestors, she should be called aunt, and the aunt was very kind, and she asked Yue Chi to stay for a few more days.
There are three tiled houses in total, which look very simple, but the interior of the house is very warmly furnished.
Auntie beckoned Yue to come to one of the living rooms, the house was located on a high hillside, and the rain was even more beautiful.
The aunt brought the meal and chatted with Yue Chi at the same time, and there were uncles and a daughter at home. Uncle was going out and may have been stopped by the rain.
As for the daughter, who dropped out of school after finishing junior high school and stayed at home, recently because her parents were busy with farming, her daughter helped cook at home. Now I'm at home all day, sleeping and reading books to pass the time of boredom.
Hearing that his aunt's daughter had just turned 18 this year, Yue Chi thought that it must be very dirty, but as soon as he heard that there was a young girl in the family, he was itching.
Outside, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the storm was terrifying, as if it was going to blow the whole house down.
Yue Chi wanted to be convenient, so he went out of the room to ask his aunt about the toilet, but found that there seemed to be a girl's shadow in the wooden room leading to the door.
When Yue Chi called out to the second aunt, the girl turned around and smiled, and Yue Chi glanced at the girl's face through the window screen.
Under the dim light, the girl's eyes and nose are quite distinct, and her face and body line are quite beautiful, it turns out that she is her aunt's daughter Zhu Tingting......
Yue Chi thought in his heart, suddenly a strong wind blew, the electric light went out, and with a bang, the gate seemed to collapse......
"Mom, it's so scary, hurry up and light the candles!"
Zhu Tingting seemed to be quite uneasy, the second aunt and the second aunt seemed to be looking for a hand lamp, the storm was getting bigger and bigger, and suddenly the whole house shook.
Yue Chi was suddenly frightened and held back his urine, and at this time, the second aunt came out of the house with a lantern, and the house in the courtyard loomed in the flickering lights.
The aunt followed her uncle into Zhu Tingting's bedroom with half a white candle, and the window of the room shone brightly.
Suddenly, the wind and rain stopped, and there was silence all around the courtyard. The low eaves are dripping with water droplets...... The candlelight was shining and smelling of earth.
The uncle walked out of the house with the aunt, and the aunt saw Yue Chi stunned alone and asked, "Yue Chi, why don't you stay in the house, it's too cold outside!" ”
Yue Chi wiped his face with a smile and said, "Auntie, why is there a power outage?" It's very dark in the house. ”
The aunt replied without thinking: "Hey, the power will be cut off as soon as the wind blows, and Ming'er will ask the electrician in the village to pick it up." ”
"Oh, Auntie! I learned to repair electricity in school, so let me take a look! Yue Chi said anxiously.
"Can it be done, I can't imagine that your baby still has this craft, what do you need? Auntie found it for you! Auntie smiled and turned around to make a posture of looking for something.
Yue Chi puffed up his chest and replied solemnly: "A pair of pliers is enough." ”
Unexpectedly, the uncle went to get a vice while Yue Chi was talking to his aunt.
Uncle lit up the line with a flashlight, Yue Chi took a closer look, the main line was intact, and then look, wow! The leak was tripped.
Yue Chi moved a wooden ladder to press down the leak to reset it, and then closed the circuit breaker, and the lights in the three rooms were turned on.
Suddenly, a girl's scream came from the house, "Ah~ It's called!" This cry made the second elder shake his head helplessly.
Zhu Tingting suddenly ran out, with a smile on her face, her face was pleasant, and when she saw Yue Chi, her happy expression immediately converged. She tugged on her aunt's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, who is this person?" I've never seen it before. ”
The aunt smiled and said, "This is your aunt's son Yue Chi in Xinjiang, and he will come back to our house for the first time." ”
After listening to the aunt's introduction, Yue Chi immediately greeted: "Hello sister Tingting, I am your brother Yue Chi." ”
Zhu Tingting's little face turned red instantly, and she shyly hid behind her mother's shoulders and half-covered her face, smiling and not daring to speak.
The uncle hurriedly asked the mother and daughter to go back to the room to rest as if he had something to say to Yue Chi, and he dragged Yue Chi into the side room.
The uncle looked at Yue Chi with a curious look on his face, and said, "I tripped many times before, but I couldn't close it at all, and it bounced back when I pushed it, why did you close it with a push?" ”
Yue Chi replied calmly: "Ah, because it is windy and rainy, the leakage protection action, press the blue reset button of the leakage protection before closing, otherwise it will not close." ”
Uncle exclaimed: "Hey~ No wonder, every time the Harry electrician in the village came to ask me for a box of cigarettes, he just didn't say it, but now I know!" ”
A little common sense of electricity actually made my uncle look at Yue Chi with admiration. But over time, there will always be some changes.
On the fourth day of Yue's late arrival at his aunt's house, his uncle began to say with a hanging face: "It's the busy farming season, and I need to go to the field to help with the work." ”
To be honest, eating and living in a relative's house for nothing will always be annoying, Yue Chi felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he also felt that he couldn't hold it on his face, so he nodded and acquiesced.
The aunt asked her daughter to bring dry food and go into the field with Yue, and asked Tingting to take care of him, and also told him to do more work like a man.
There are only two people who work in the field every day, he and Tingting.
The temperature was very high on this day, there was no wind in the sky, and the whole earth was as hot as a steamer.
After hoeing the cornfield, when they sat down and rested for a while, the old cow next to him was about hungry, and he kept mooing, so Tingting stood up and said to Yue Chi: "Brother Yue Chi, let's go and cut some grass together, you see that the cow is hungry." ”
Yue Chi stood up with Tingting, nodded and didn't speak, he agreed to her.
There was a meadow next to the cornfield where there were no crops, and the green grass here grew exceptionally luxuriantly, and the shadow of the cornbeard just covered the top of their heads, and the two of them cut the grass one after the other, and the whole field seemed to become the world of the two of them.
