The mountain breeze is blowing, the bamboo leaves rustle, and there is an occasional sound of bamboo popping, sprinkled into the fragrance of the bamboo sea.

Luckily, it rained early in the morning.

The bamboo forest is unexpectedly fresh and cool, the wind whispers from the forest, and the light and shadow fall on the tips of the leaves.

They stepped on the shredded pieces of light.

Chen Nian suddenly remembered that when he and Xie Yi were still young, they had also stepped on the bamboo sea where light and shadow were intertwined.

At that time, the two families lived opposite each other, four adults and three children.

The one who takes care of them the most on weekdays is the aging mother. Xie Yi occasionally thinks of this godmother who treats people forever and kindly, but I only feel that most of the courage and character of the old people come from her.

But the age is as warm as a little sun, but she is like a blazing full moon.

Although she couldn't say why the moon was red-hot.

Godmother always has some special temperament, and the boundary is blurred but clear. She is clean and calm, bright and transparent, and she can never find a defect in her, but she can be resolute for love.

When I married my godfather, I quit my job to take care of my children at home, and I finally took my sister away from home.

And compared to her parents, who don't see anyone all year round, Xie Yi is closer to her.

Neighbors also always say that if it weren't for her, the two families would definitely be the right family.

One is a family that is immersed in cultural undertakings, and the other is a family that travels all over the country to do business.

It's just—

If there was no godmother, the childhood of gratitude would probably be in the muddy countryside.

There lived her grandparents, who she would never want to leave for the rest of her life.

And in that swaying bamboo sea in the countryside, she and Chen Nian had also heard the cicadas chirping for a month.

The old grandmother fell ill when they were both five years old.

At that time, the godmother was very hard, with three and a half children, and she had to find time to go to other cities to take care of her bedridden mother.

In desperation, she had to foster her sister, who had just entered the first year of junior high school, at the teacher's house, while the two children, who were obediently nestled under the sofa, were blinking at her.

She was worried, if she took them with her, not to mention the long distance, she probably wouldn't have the energy to take care of them when she got there.

Xiao Xie saw that she was worried, her head flashed, and she said crisply: "We can go to my grandparents!" It's very close, and I've been there every year! ”

It's a good idea.

The two elderly people are kind and have the ability and time to take care of them.

It's just—

She tentatively asked the two two children who were still ignorant: "There is no air conditioner over there to blow~"

"It's okay!"

"There is no soft bed to sleep in~"

"It's okay!"

"There is no ...... either"

"Oh, we can, Mommy trust us. I love it there. "Older people are big ghosts," Grandpa Yi said last time, next time he will make me bamboo shoot chicken soup! ”

Godmother laughed loudly.

She couldn't bear to tell her stupid son that there were no delicious spring shoots this season. She touched her two little heads lovingly, "Then let's go to the countryside and have some fun!" ”

As a result, in the fields that summer, there were two more figures running freely.

There is a large bamboo forest behind the mud house, and a few unnamed birds squat on the highest branches all year round.

Every evening, Chen Nian would give thanks and go to the bamboo forest to play games together. After dinner in the evening, one of them carried a small bamboo bench made by his grandfather to the end of the hillside outside the bamboo forest to cool off.

Most of the time, they will see a sky full of stars.

Unlike the busy traffic in the city, the countryside is excessively quiet at night. In the middle of summer, in addition to the chirping of cicadas and a few frogs in the fields from time to time, there is more of a slight cool breeze.

Grandpa said that it was a mountain breeze, and it must be a little cooler than the air conditioner in the city.

Grandma shook the pu fan, pointed to the starry sky, and said, your grandfather taught me, the moon and stars are rare.

But we can't see the moon tonight, so we have a whole sea of stars.

Chen Nianle smiled, he had just learned a children's song recently, and he couldn't remember the words well, so he could only hum the tune softly.

Humming and humming, the bright starry sky in front of him gradually blurred, and his voice became softer and softer.

Xie Yi turned his head to see that he had fallen asleep with his head drooping.

It looks like the newborn puppy at the entrance of the village.

Thinking of the cute puppy, he smiled thankfully and touched his hair, which was shaking little by little with his head.

He woke up from his sleep and vaguely saw Xie Yi smiling brightly. With the bamboo sea behind and the family by his side, the days in the countryside are full and pleasant.

Chen Nian slept peacefully again.

On a graduation trip at the age of eighteen, they finally returned to this small mountain village.

The two old men have been dead for many years, and the courtyard is overgrown with weeds and mud houses around it. They went around to the back of the house, and the green onion still occupied the whole hill in the middle of summer this year.

The cat was put into the backpack, and Chen Nian took the hand of gratitude and walked into the depths of the forest again.

Ten hours later, the plane took off, and they were about to go through a long parting.

It's just that at the end of the path, the green bamboo is still in the stream, and the floating light of the day is trampled and re-stitched by the moonlight.

Chen Nian's voice was deep, and he said, Ah Yi, close your eyes.

When the wind comes, the bamboo leaves sound softly, and a red-rumped bulbul hides in the middle.

"Do what?" Xie Yi asked, the invisible panic made her voice tremble unconsciously, "I'm a little scared." ”

"Soon enough." Chen Nian reassured.

"Alright, open your eyes."

At the turn of day and night, the boundaries between light and shadow are not clear.

Xie opened his eyes, and for a moment what he saw was not real. She had to raise her hand to cover her eyes, and in the afterglow, she saw a bright young man walking towards her.

He smiled, his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his dimples were shallow.

At that moment, everything seemed to be clear.

She laughed along, bright and vivid.

The sound of heartbeat came from the chest cavity uncontrollably, Chen Nian stepped forward quickly, grabbed her waist with a hand, and the kiss fell, like a dragonfly dotting water, and she left with a touch, but the two of them blushed instantly.

It's so soft, Chen Nian thought to himself, and pecked her face uncontrollably.

He secretly reminisced about it, and it was still more felt when kissed than when pinched.

Xie Yi pursed his lips, and always felt that his lips were very hot, but they were also very soft, which was very different from the touch of his hands and waist.

She was stunned, and her neck suddenly sank into a plush.

The boy lowered his head, his shaggy hair rubbing against her neck. He took off the jade gourd that he had been carrying for eighteen years and hung it on Xie Yi.

Xie Yi was a little panicked and wanted to take it off again and return it to him, but he held his hand down.

"Wait for me, okay?" Chen Nian asked softly.

Before she could answer, she heard the young man's clear voice again.

He said sincerely and deeply, cat, I also wish you a happy birthday in advance.

May you have a worry-free, happy and healthy life.
