At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was always a little scorching, and the blinding sunlight shone equally on every inch of life. A secluded paradise of mountains and lush foliage, the breath is fresh enough to wash away the irritable air, and the village is surrounded by tall mountains and forests everywhere.

In the afternoons of the village, there are usually not many people walking on the empty dirt road, and the villagers are working in the fields from house to house, and occasionally a few women carry baskets of mushrooms and wild vegetables that they have picked from the mountains, and the harvest is full, and the joy on their faces is about to overflow, talking to each other about the gossip between the neighbors, and happily walking in the direction of home.

A group of half-grown children were running through the fields, wearing thin sleeveless shirts and shorts knotted around their waists with ropes, and a pair of hard-soled wooden shoes on their feet, playing and playing, even if their little faces were red from the sun, and the skin on their faces was a little chapped, they still shouted excitedly with big teeth, one child chased after their partner, and the others nimbly dodged around, and when they passed a thin little girl sitting with their backs to them on the field, several children shouted at her, trying to attract her attention, Let her join them in the game.

"Sister Tang Ling, Sister Tang Ling! Come and play with us! ”

The continuous shouting did not attract the attention of the girl, and then, all the children began to shout towards Tang Ling, obviously not far away, but everyone did not approach her, but stood in place, put their hands to their mouths, made a small trumpet, and shouted loudly towards Tang Ling with great interest, as if they had found some new fun.

The girl finally had a reaction, and she looked back with a feeling. The girl wore two playful ponytails, a short sleeve printed with a cartoon character, some gray denim shorts, and a pair of cute white sandals on her feet. Her immature face was full of confusion and doubt, and she tilted her head with some curiosity as she looked at the group of children who were calling for her.

"Let's play! Play hide and seek! When the children in the field saw Tang Ling looking at them, they waved their hands happily and warmly invited her to join.

Tang Ling was still a little dazed, she blinked, then slowly stood up, left the grass where she was sitting a little awkwardly, patted her pants, and then ran towards the group of children, with a big smile on her face, she replied happily: "Okay! I'm coming! ”

At six o'clock in the afternoon, in the evening, the sun was setting, and the fire-like sunlight of dusk burned all over the village, and the smell of food came from the house to house, and the shovels kept colliding with the iron pots, singing the melodious songs of ping-pong, and the adults stood outside the house, shouting at the children who were still happy in the fields, calling them home for dinner.

Tang Ling, who had been playing with a group of children for an afternoon, was tired and sweaty, she left the field with a snort, said goodbye to the other children one by one, and kept pulling the fan with her collar with her hand, while walking leisurely in the direction of her home.

"Lingling, are you going home?"

At the corner of the road, Tang Ling was intoxicated by the smell of rice wafting from the window of another house, and she didn't notice it for a while, and bumped into a person's body, she sighed, stepped back again and again, covered her forehead, and before she could open her eyes to see who she was bumping into, a gentle and sweet female voice asked herself kindly.

Tang Ling opened her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.

The girl in front of her was very wide, blocking all the sunset light that was originally shining on Tang Ling's body, the girl looked like she was sixteen or seventeen years old, she was not very tall, but she was very fat, and the flesh on her face was piled up together because of her smile, although the girl was very fat, but she was very beautiful, fair and pink skin, gentle and kind gaze, when her eyes met people, she wanted people to quickly fall into the tenderness of water in her eyes.

Tang Ling no longer rubbed her forehead, withdrew her hand, and happily greeted the girl in front of her: "Sister Qiao! Good afternoon! Then he pounced on Qiao Lingxiang's body, rubbed it a little dependently, and smelled the faint smell of white camellia emanating from Qiao Lingxiang's body.

Qiao Lingxiang stretched out her hand and gently stroked Tang Ling's hairy head, she responded to Tang Ling gently: "Good evening!" Lingling, are you having a good day? ”

"Uh-huh! Very happy! I played hide and seek with my other friends! Tang Ling raised her head in Qiao Lingxiang's arms and shared her happiness today with Qiao Lingxiang.

"So, no wonder the little face is dirty." Qiao Lingxiang wiped the mud and dust on Tang Ling's face with her clean hands, listening to Tang Ling's happiness today, she was also infected, and laughed "giggles", "I'm definitely hungry, go home and eat!" I'm going to help Dr. Chen clean up the infirmary. ”

"Sister Qiao went to Dr. Chen again? It seems that Sister Qiao likes Dr. Chen very much! ”

Tang Ling smiled evilly in Qiao Lingxiang's arms, causing Qiao Lingxiang to pat Tang Ling's head lightly, looking at Tang Ling with some coquettishness, and did not refute her jokes, but urged: "Okay, okay, go home and eat, it's getting dark, don't run around outside, you little kid." ”

"Okay, goodbye, Sister Joe!"

Tang Ling nodded, then left Qiao Lingxiang's arms, waved goodbye to her, and then continued to walk in the direction of home with a jump.

"Grandma, I'm back!"

Before entering the house, Tang Ling stood in the courtyard and shouted to the people in the house, and then pushed open the door of the house, expecting that she had just smelled the food outside the house for a long time and hooked her drooling, but before the meal was seen, a tall figure in front of him blocked him, shrouding himself in his shadow.

Tang Ling raised her head with some confusion.

This is a middle-aged man, he looks a little sloppy, fat head and big ears, full of beard, and a huge beer belly like the kind of pregnant woman who is pregnant for August that Tang Ling has seen before, because the man blocked the lights at home, in Tang Ling's sight, his face was a shadow, and his eyes looking down at him were a little weird, like being clinging to his bare skin by the meat worm he hated the most, a shiver that stirred up goosebumps, Tang Ling took a few steps back with some uneasiness.

"The good boy is back."

Behind the man, his grandmother Zhao Fang's surprised voice came, and when he heard Zhao Fang's voice, the man who blocked Tang Ling turned around slowly and said politely to Zhao Fang behind him: "Aunt Zhao, thank you today, then I'll go back first." ”

"Oh, okay, bye-bye."

Zhao Fang said goodbye to the man, and then pulled Tang Ling, who had been staring at the man to leave, into the house, and closed the door of the house smoothly, because he paid attention to his granddaughter, Zhao Fang and the others naturally did not see it, not far away, the man in the courtyard stopped, turned his head, looked at Tang Ling and their home gloomily, and stood for a long time before continuing to leave swaying.

"Grandpa, who was that person just now?" Tang Ling sat on his small bench and asked his grandfather Tang Jianguo, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, drinking a little wine and starting to pick up vegetables.

"That uncle moved to our Yushen Village not long ago, and it is said that he was engaged in some infrastructure construction outside before? I don't know, I came to us during the day today to borrow a toolbox, saying that something at home was broken and needed to be repaired. ”

Tang Jianguo watched the wonderful performance on TV, took a sip of the mulberry wine he brewed, and then picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, answering Tang Ling's questions while chewing.

"I didn't expect our Yushen Village to be so popular, this is already the eighth family to move to our village, I just hope that Lord Mountain God won't be angry because there are too many outsiders."

Zhao Fang handed the bowl to Tang Ling after serving the rice, and then sat on the small bench herself, picked up the vegetables and put them in the bowl, and sat with the bowl and watched TV.

"Lord Mountain God will definitely welcome it, is it still a bad thing for us to meet the people of God Village!"

Tang Jianguo was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Fang's worries, he felt that Zhao Fang's words were simply slandering the broad and majestic image of the mountain god. He put the small wine glass in his hand towards the table with some strength, making a loud noise, the atmosphere on the table was a little heavy, Tang Ling held his bowl, looked at Tang Jianguo beside him who was inexplicably angry, and the chopsticks that stretched out to pick up the dishes froze there, not daring to move.

"Okay, okay, it's me who said the wrong thing, it's me who is narrow-minded, don't scare the child!" Zhao Fang hurriedly made amends, and then reminded Tang Jianguo to pay attention to Tang Ling beside him.

"Hmph."

Tang Jianguo snorted coldly, then took the wine jug on the side, filled it into his small wine glass, and then continued to drink, watched TV, and occasionally remembered to take a bite of food.

"Good boy, eat, eat." Zhao Fang said to Tang Ling as usual, and put the meat in Tang Ling's bowl with chopsticks, one after another, the vegetables and meat in Tang Ling's bowl were about to fall out.

"Grandma, enough is enough."

The atmosphere slowly returned to a more relaxed state, Tang Ling slowly withdrew her chopsticks, pulled the rice in the bowl, and looked at Tang Jianguo with little timidity, afraid that she would accidentally annoy him later, until Zhao Fang put vegetables in her bowl, Tang Ling was shocked to realize that she had actually pulled white rice for a long time.

Although there were some small accidents at dinner, it was generally relaxed and happy, Tang Ling's stomach was a little supportive, she patted her stomach with satisfaction, sat on the small bench, leaned against the white wall, and looked at the TV on the side with some comfort, grandfather Tang Jianguo's favorite period drama, and dangled her straight feet idly.

This is Tang Ling's daily life in Yushen Village, plain and bland, without too many waves, although there are occasionally some small troubles, but they will soon be replaced by happiness.
