*This chapter is also known as "Returning Home"

Xiao Yao and Yu Luying were at the small restaurant here at the station, ordered the clams that Yu Luying had in mind, and casually asked for two home-cooked dishes such as fried pork with garlic sprouts.

The rice looked overnight, still stained with the pot, half-lukewarm, packed in a plastic box, and threw it on the table with a "pop", Xiao Yao had to open the plastic bowl with chopsticks to help himself and Yu Luying serve rice.

"When I just crossed the Yangtze River, I thought of that song in my mind," Yu Luying had already regained some interest: "You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the end of the Yangtze River." ”

"Every day, I don't see you, and I drink the water of the Yangtze River." Xiao Yao said.

"I'm a little inspired, go back and write it, you can help me see it." Yu Luying took the initiative to bring it up.

"W-yes!" Xiao Yao was overjoyed and said: "Wait for the masterpiece." ”

After a while, the dish was served.

The color of the fried meat with garlic sprouts is average, and I won't describe it too much here, but the fried clams look good - the shell of the clams is slightly golden yellow, and the aroma of the fried slightly burnt aroma spreads. Each clam exudes an enticing taste of the sea, exuding a unique fresh fragrance.

The appearance of the clam presents a full arc, solid and elastic. They are skillfully sautéed until they are just cooked, the heat is just right, the texture is smooth, and the meat is full and delicious.

Xiao Yao didn't like to eat this thing very much, and he had a poor appetite because of motion sickness before, so he didn't move his chopsticks, but took out his mobile phone, planning to take a few photos for Shen Jie.

I just didn't take a few photos, and suddenly someone hit my wrist with chopsticks, and I looked up to see that it was Yu Luying. Xiao Yao saw that her expression was wrong, and he remembered that he had missed an important part - praying before the meal.

In fact, Xiao Yao still knows how pious (or how unreligious) Yu Luying is, not to mention, she has never had any hard requirements for etiquette for herself - at this time, she is undoubtedly deliberately finding fault.

Xiao Yao hurriedly put down his mobile phone, sat upright at the table, and prepared to follow Yu Luying's words.

However, Yu Luying didn't have any intention of praying, and said coquettishly: "I know patting all day long, why don't you never give me pictures when you are with her?" ”

Xiao Yao was stunned by this question, and he couldn't turn the corner in his mind for a while.

He thought for a while: It seems that within two days of confirming the relationship between me and you, your sister Shen Jie left, right? Why don't you shoot when you're with her?

Alas, let's chant the scriptures first. Lord, bless us and the food you have given us......

"How long will it take to get back to your house from here?" Yu Luying looked out the window at the scene after the rain in B minor and asked Xiao Yao.

"......" Xiao Yao sat there, ignoring her.

"Hey, why don't we go back first after eating," Yu Luying said again: "It's not good to let people wait like this." ”

“……”

"Oh, why don't you ignore me," the corners of Yu Luying's mouth drooped down a little: "Won't I just joke with you?" You just shoot her. ”

Xiao Yao ended the words in his heart, and once again drew a vertical and horizontal stroke on his chest: "If you don't pray, I still have to pray, I've been arguing, quickly apologize to my brother Su with me." ”

Yu Luying was slightly stunned: "Pray for so long?" ”

"It's been so long, and I have endless words in my heart." Xiao Yao picked up his bowl angrily.

"Oops, that's my fault." Yu Luying smiled and stretched out her hand and pressed it on Xiao Yao's upper arm.

"Let's eat," Xiao Yao said, "Finish eating early and go back early." ”

He regretted ordering the garlic sprouts to stir-fry the meat - the garlic sprouts were so strong that they were disgusting.

Yu Luying went straight to the plate of fried clams: this dish brought her a fresh and intoxicating taste. With each bite, the meat of the clam is full and tender, as if releasing a rich marine fragrance in the mouth. Between chewing, the fresh juice of the clam overflows the mouth, blending with the aroma of the seasoning, the meat is delicate and chewy, and the umami spreads in the mouth - this is what Dongru calls "the first freshness in the world".

Emperor Liang Yuan's essay praised the clam as "high in the taste of clams", and "Youyang Miscellaneous" contained "Emperor Sui was fond of clams, and what he ate must have the taste of clams, counting more than tens of millions." "Song Renzong regarded the claw as a treasure, and Ouyang Xiu's poem on the first food of the claw said that chickens, guineas, fish and shrimp could not be compared with the clams, and hated himself for eating the clams too late.

When Yu Luying was feasting, she suddenly heard an uncomfortable vomiting sound, and followed the sound, only to see Xiao Yao holding a bamboo basket and vomiting.

The delayed feedback immediately hit, and a nauseous feeling rushed from the stomach to the brain, and the clams in the mouth were no longer fresh.

There was only one paper basket, and the nausea came so suddenly and intensely that she didn't have time to find a second one.

……

……

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." When checking out, Yu Luying apologized to the boss again and again.

The boss was holding a mop in his hand, smiling, and very generous, and Ula Ula said a bunch of something.

"He said that it should be that the clam is not fresh, and the clam will not take money." Xiao Yao translated.

"How's that going to work?" Yu Luying objected: "It has nothing to do with your clam Wen. ”

Coming out of the restaurant, Yu Luying looked unhappy again.

"I really didn't mean to." Xiao Yao followed behind and explained.

"I know." Yu Luying said lightly.

"I was nauseous and wanted to vomit when I hit the snack clams, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful," Xiao Yao explained endlessly: "I originally thought that you were here, and I didn't want to let you eat it, so I let you order it, I really didn't expect this disgusting reaction to be even worse than before, maybe the sequelae of motion sickness just now are still there, and that garlic sprout is not quite right——"

"Thanks to you," Yu Luying walked to the side of the road, stopped her steps, and looked left and right: "I will never think about eating clams again in my life - even if the symbiosis is gone one day, I will have a conditioned reflex." ”

"I'm really sorry......," Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, it's okay, little thing." Yu Luying said: "You are also kind-hearted. ”

"You're really not mad at me?" Xiao Yao's phone started ringing again: "Hey? Ah, I'll be there soon, I'll be there soon. ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Luying said: "The neighbor at home called again to urge? ”

"Hmm."

"Or? Don't go to the hotel first, Allah will go straight over? Yu Luying put her right index finger against the corner of her right lip.

"That's what I mean, anyway, there aren't many things, so there's no need to go to the hotel first." Xiao Yao said.

In fact, Xiao Yao thinks that it is better not to go to the hotel, just leave the luggage at home.

"It doesn't matter if the luggage is not luggage, the main thing," Yu Luying said with some hesitation: "Look at me, disgraced, when I go to your side, I will meet someone you know, right?" I would have liked to wash it a little and get it right now. ”

It turned out to be to earn face for me...... Yes? Xiao Yao was happy again: "There's no need, there's no need, you look good, you look good or not." ”

"Just you can talk." Yu Luying said angrily.

"Well, I'm telling the truth."

This is really true.

"Rickshaw! Rickshaw! Xiao Yao shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hey!"

……

"Where are you?" The rickshaw driver asked in dialect.

"Party School." In order to avoid being slaughtered as a foreigner, Xiao Yao also replied in dialect.

"Five." The dark-skinned coachman gave a slap in the face.

Xiao Yao didn't bargain, and helped Yu Luying into the car.

"Five bucks?" Yu Luying was crammed into a small canvas carport, and her body was forced to cling to Xiao Yao: "How far?" ”

"Three kilometers." Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said.

"Three kilometers, five dollars?" Yu Luying said.

The ranking officials don't know that although this Dongru's rickshaw is not like the Republic of China period, it is also a tricycle pedaled by pure human feet, with a canvas canopy in the back seat, without any battery auxiliary equipment at all, and it is a hard-earned money.

Yu Luying saw that the coachman was fifty or sixty years old, riding in front, and her two young people sat behind him with their hands in their hands, five yuan, and suddenly felt unbearable.

When he got up to a bridge, the coachman couldn't ride, so he jumped out of the car, pulled the dragon head with one hand, and pulled the back seat with a rope with the other, and pulled it up with all his might.

"Yingying, look, this is Dongru's People's Park......"

"Master, stop!" Before Xiao Yao could react, Yu Luying had already jumped out of the car, ran to the back of the rickshaw, and stretched out her arms to help push it up.

The coachman turned his head and said a few words, but Yu Luying didn't understand, thinking it was some kind words. Xiao Yao couldn't sit still in the canvas tent at this time, so he had to get out of the car too. Although the car was empty, the driver did not get on the car to ride, but continued to push the faucet. Xiao Yao and the two walked until the coachman pushed the cart to the top of the bridge, and then they returned to the car.

"In the future, we won't take this kind of rickshaw," Yu Luying said to Xiao Yao, "I look at the evil." ”

"My eldest lady, you can't see the poor suffering with a good heart, right?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly: "Do you know who is the most angry person when you hear this?" ”

"Who is it?"

"That's him." Xiao Yao pointed to the driver in front of him who was pedaling hard: "Because of your compassion, you make your family unemployed and hungry, do you say that you are merciful or harmful?" ”

"Crooked." Yu Luying said hardly.

"We've been walking all the way, what have you seen along the way?" Xiao Yao asked Yu Luying.

"See what?" What Yu Luying saw was a gray and dilapidated scene, which perfectly matched her imagination of the 80s — but she was too embarrassed to say it.

After all, this is Xiao Yao's "hometown".

"How many taxis do you see? How many buses? Xiao Yao prompted.

"Uh...... So far, not seen. ”

"In this place, there is no taxi or bus system at all, a three-kilometer radius, palm-sized land, if you want to go out, you either have a bicycle or a motorcycle, or you can only rely on these rickshaws." Xiao Yao explained to Yu Luying.

"Three...... Three kilometers," Yu Luying was a little unimaginable: "Fang Yuan, three kilometers, isn't it possible to meet acquaintances wherever you go?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't? This is what a small place looks like," Xiao Yao said with a smile: "Acquaintance society, human society, you don't see you looking up everywhere you go, you can meet several acquaintances when you go out to buy green onions-Ying Ying, you see, here this road to the left, you will go to the county middle school, that is, the junior high school I studied, turn right in front of the supply and marketing building, next to my primary school——"

"Rabbit paper," Yu Luying picked up the camera and patted it everywhere: "When you have time, you can take me to your junior high school and elementary school to have a look." ”

"If you don't say I'll take you there, don't think about running." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

This was originally within his planned itinerary, but he didn't expect Yu Luying to take the initiative, which made him feel very happy.

"Xiao Yao, do you know," Yu Luying said, "Although it is my first time in this place, there is a very familiar feeling everywhere. I can't say it, but I feel like I'm in a trance—"

"Déjà vu?" Xiao Yao was stunned: "It's like I've been here in my previous life?" ”

"What a past life?"

"It's called the sense of sight and the hippocampus effect," Xiao Yao said again: "Many people will have similar experiences and feelings...... You say, could it be that the real world is actually a shadow? ”

Yu Luying did not respond to the little philosopher's thoughts: "How can you ...... There are no young people, huh? ”

"You've finally found out?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Except for the children who are a few years old, who are about the same as us, and then there are forty or fifty-year-olds and old men and women - there are hardly any young people in sight."

"Young people who stay in this place, the nearest one is also to Nantong, or go to the magic capital, go to Suzhou, go to Youxi ......" Xiao Yao said: "You wait and see, at least now you can still see the primary and secondary school students in Wuyang and Wuyang, and in the future, there will be fewer and fewer students, and it will completely become a city of old age and a dead city." ”

"Why?" Yu Luying asked curiously.

"Don't you know that our Dongru County is a model county for family planning?" Xiao Yao sneered.

"......" Yu Luying was silent.

At this time, the rickshaw rode on the "Tonghai Bridge" - the slope of this bridge is not particularly large, and the driver rode up it.

"It feels so good to be home!" Xiao Yao said with emotion.

"Nishiki?" Yu Luying deliberately frowned, tilted to the side, and looked Xiao Yao up and down.

"It's brocade." Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and hugged Yu Luying tightly in his arms: "After all, brothers are like siblings-"

"Your wife is still grounded, how can I be worthy of your clothes." Yu Luying struggled.

"There's always a change of washing." Xiao Yao said with a hippie smile.

"Phew!" Yu Luying said loudly: "Let go of me!" ”

The rickshaw stopped, and the driver turned around and asked, "Do you want to go in?" ”

"No need! That's it. Yu Luying broke free from Xiao Yao's embrace, jumped out of the car, took out a 20 yuan ticket and handed it to the coachman, insisting that he not look for it.

The coachman thanked him for pedaling the rickshaw away, and Xiao Yao and Yu Luying stood side by side in front of the school gate.

Next to the gate, there is a sign with eight big characters on it: "Zhongxdongru County Party School".

"Why is your family in the party school?" Yu Luying didn't understand.

"You may not believe it when you say it," Xiao Yao scratched his head and said, "My father used to be an associate professor at the party school......

"......" Yu Luying glanced at him in surprise.

"Gone." Xiao Yao dragged Yu Luying.

The two walked into the gate of the party school, and they were greeted by the flower bed and basketball court, and a chubby, a bit like a teacher outside the staff, just dangled out slowly from inside.

"Oops, little landlord! You're back! The teacher's glasses slid down and shouted in surprise.

"Old landlord!" Xiao Yao greeted warmly.

"This is ......," the old landlord looked at Yu Luying.

"My classmate," Xiao Yao pulled Yu Luying and introduced enthusiastically: "My girlfriend, who accompanied me back for the summer vacation - this is Teacher Ji." ”

"Hello Teacher Ji." Yu Luying bowed shallowly and exclaimed a little embarrassedly.

"Oh! Ah! The "old landlord's" eyes were about to fall, and he pinched his thighs suddenly: "Such a good-looking little girl, from the magic capital?" ”
