Next, Bai Yaolong, who had been depressed for a few days, went out to eat with Guo Fatzi and others and played for a day.

Guo Dongjie and others asked him how he was in Baijing, and Bai Yaolong could only say that it was okay.

But Guo Dongjie talked about the wonderful things of their class on New Year's Day, and said that Yangmeimei also performed, it was a guzheng played, and it was beautiful to play in ancient costumes.

But Bai Yaolong was not interested, and when it came to New Year's Day, it made him feel upset.

After two days of happiness with Guo Dongjie, Zhao Shuo and others, Bai Yaolong was in a better mood, and he regained his strength and planned to review.

Because he knew that he didn't have much time, he could only use the winter vacation time to make up for mathematics and physics, which had a lot of knowledge points, in order to make up for the two subjects he had missed.

During this period, there was another good news, those recommended by Bai Yaolong finally accepted Bai Junhua's invitation and decided to join the Golden Dragon Quarrying Company.

That is to say, after the equipment is in place after the year, choose a good day and start work.

Since the Republic joined the WTO in December last year, Bai Yaolong knew that the country was about to take off, so Bai Yaolong was also very happy that his father could handle his own entry-level business before the construction of large infrastructure.

In this way, seeing that Bai Yaolong did not go out to fool around, but kept reviewing his homework until the eve of the Spring Festival, Bai Yaolong's parents were very happy to see him like this.

The days went on like this, until he received a phone call that made Bai Yaolong extremely happy, he stopped his homework and went to the department store with his mother to buy a lot of gifts, intending to bring Bai Jing back.

And the reason for this is that Xu Wenmin's mother called and asked Bai Yaolong's family to go to her house to eat a meal of shaved pork soup from years ago.

The so-called shaved pig soup is a folk custom in the southwestern provinces of the Republic.

It is to invite relatives and friends to eat pork and pig blood soup after killing the pig during the New Year, and give a piece of pork to relatives and friends after eating.

It is also an important rural activity to deepen the relationship between each other and enliven the atmosphere.

(Although there are fewer and fewer activities due to family affection now, they were popular at the time.)

The Spring Festival in 02 is on February 11, and the shaved pork soup is generally held within a week before the Spring Festival.

Because Xu Wenmin has no other family, he only has neighbors, so the time is also very well arranged, and the last two families set this date on February 6, thinking that after eating shaved pig soup, they can invite the second uncle's family to soak in the hot spring.

Early in the morning of February 6, Bai Yaolong's family drove back to Baijing with the New Year's goods they bought for the Xu family.

Since there was no navigation at that time, Bai Yaolong's family asked questions from place to place, and it took three and a half hours to drive for two and a half hours to find Xu Wenmin's home.

But fortunately, Xu Wenmin's home is not far from the country road, otherwise it would be afternoon when he arrives at her house.

Xu Wenmin's family has no men, so the pig killing work is all helped by the villagers.

So when the three of them arrived not far from Xu Wenmin's house with large and small New Year's goods, they saw that several sturdy men were already bleeding the hanging pigs.

And such a scene made Zeng Hui and Bai Junhua very cordial to this strong rural New Year's flavor, and Bai Yaolong also felt very curious about it.

The men who killed the pig didn't know Zeng Hui and his wife, but one of them recognized Bai Yaolong, who was Tang Jun.

I saw him wearing a rubber leather skirt and boots of a pig slaughterer, and shouted at him when he saw Bai Yaolong, and Bai Yaolong looked at him for a long time before he recognized him in this dress.

"Yaolong, you're finally here, why are you so late?"

Tang Jun ran down from the hillside and said to Bai Yaolong, then saw Bai Yaolong's parents say hello again, and led them to Xu Wenmin's house.

While walking, Bai Yaolong said to Tang Jun, because Xu Wenmin's house was too secretive, and there were many cars to return to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, so he arrived so late.

This was Bai Yaolong's first time at Xu Wenmin's house, and after coming to her door, Bai Yaolong was dumbfounded.

I saw that her house was made of earth, and the body of the house was supported by some rubble stones, and the roof above was some moss-stained tiles, which looked dilapidated.

Looking at this room, he even had a feeling that if he was the big bad wolf among the three little pigs, he would probably collapse if he blew his breath.

Is this where people live, Bai Yaolong had already thought about the poverty of Xu Wenmin's family, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Tang Jun didn't see Bai Yaolong's surprise, and thought that he was a little embarrassed to come to the girl's house for the first time, so he hurriedly shouted to the house with a smile:

"Wen Min, Aunt Lu, Yaolong, they have arrived."

Hearing the shouting, two people quickly walked in inside, it was Xu Wenmin and her mother.

When the two saw Bai Yaolong's family with a large bag, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

And Xu Wenmin was still a little embarrassed when he saw Bai Yaolong, and after taking the New Year's goods in his hand, he brought a unique long wooden bench in the countryside for him to sit on.

Bai Yaolong looked at Xu Wenmin, and saw that she was wearing an old cotton coat at this time, with an apron wrapped around her body, two sleeves that were also dirty, and a pair of woolen shoes under her feet.

She looks like this, a proper rural girl.

If it weren't for her beautiful face, Bai Yaolong would have thought that he was in the wrong place.

"Family, welcome, small rural place, don't mind, come, eat oranges."

Aunt Lu greeted Bai Yaolong's family warmly, and Zeng Hui and Bai Junhua also stood up and asked her not to be polite.

Tang Jun next to him saw Bai Yaolong coming, and said that he was going to call Zhang Xudong to come over to meet him, so he left after speaking, leaving Bai Yaolong and Xu Wenmin sitting opposite each other.

Zeng Hui chatted with Bai Junhua and Aunt Lu, saying that the countryside is really lively, or the countryside has a New Year's flavor and so on.

Aunt Lu also said that she likes to come back every year to sit, although the countryside is inconvenient, but the air is good, you can grow something if you want to eat.

But Xu Wenmin and Bai Yaolong didn't know what to say, both of them were still struggling with the rumors before the end of the period, so sitting together like this now was a little embarrassing and embarrassing.

But in the end, it was Bai Yaolong who spoke:

"Wen Min, it's the first time I've come to the countryside in my life, why don't you take me around?"

Bai Yaolong had been to the countryside in his previous life, and it was the first time in his life.

Although it's not new, I can't just consume it with Xu Wenmin, even if I pretend, I have to pretend to be curious.

Several adults heard Bai Yaolong say this, and also looked at Xu Wenmin, Xu Wenmin nodded, and said that he could take you to see it, but he would have to cook rice on the fire for a while, so he could only walk around.

Bai Yaolong said okay, stood up as he spoke, and followed her towards the field.

In winter, the fields are barren, but there are not many weeds, and the path on the ridge is not hardened, but it is still easy to walk.

Bai Yaolong breathed in the fresh air, and his mood was also very comfortable, and he asked Xu Wenmin, who was walking in front:

"By the way, how is Aunt Lu's health?"

Xu Wenmin replied that after taking the medicine, it was much better, saying that the medicine in the big hospital was really different, and by the way, he thanked him and Zeng Hui and his wife.

Bai Yaolong nodded, it was the first time he came to the place where Xu Wenmin lived, and he was also very excited, looking at the surrounding green environment, he continued to ask:

"Did you grow up here?"

Xu Wenmin nodded, saying that the fields here belong to their family, and the vegetable fields over there and the orange fields on the mountains are her family's main sources of income, and of course, the two big fat pigs that were fed this year.
