Ordinary countryside reborn

Like a person who has just been fished out after drowning, Tianyuan was covered in sweat when she woke up. She breathed rapidly and grabbed the quilt to feel the existence of this thing.

This dream has been too real for too long, and I can't tell which side is reality.

Tianyuan still clearly remembers the last scene.

She followed Tian Zhi, trying to help him hoe the ground but couldn't touch anything, so she could only watch from the sidelines.Li Mei brought lunch, and the two of them sat under the shade of a tree, eating and chatting.

Li Mei already had a lot of gray hair on her head. After Tian Zhi finished eating, Li Mei said: "Xiaoyu brought Yiyi back. They quarreled again and are about to get divorced. You should go and persuade her when you go back." , she won’t listen to what I say.”

"Ah?" Tian Zhi didn't hear clearly, he was a little deaf.

Li Mei repeated it loudly, and Tian Zhi nodded with a serious expression: "Okay."

……

Tian Zhi was watching TV very attentively, but Li Mei was distracted and glanced at Tian Yuan. Seeing that she had woken up, she quickly urged: "Get up and wash up quickly. It's already ten o'clock. You have to buy something later, too." I don’t know if it’s too late, so I have to go to the station earlier to buy tickets.”

"It's inconvenient to carry so much stuff on your back, and it would take time to come back after shopping..."

Li Mei kept talking, but Tian Yuan felt very reassured when he heard her voice. After she finished speaking, Tian Yuan said: "It's okay, just go to the station. If you still have time, you can go shopping nearby to see if there are any bookstores. "

After she finished speaking, she went directly to the bathroom. When she came out, Li Mei had packed everything, and everyone left the room with their own bags on their backs.

Taking the bus to the station, she first went to the window and bought three tickets. There was still more than an hour before the bus departed. Li Mei asked Tian Zhi to guard the bag at the station. She and Tian Yuan went shopping nearby and brought it to Tian Zhi when they came back. The two of them had already eaten a box of lunch.

Tian Zhi ate quickly, and after ten minutes of finishing his meal, the ticket check began. The three of them lined up in the middle of the queue. Most of the people in front and behind were carrying large and small bags. Tianyuan and others were not conspicuous.

Check in, put your luggage, and get on the bus.

The car left the city, and an hour later, it entered the mountains. The road became narrower and narrower, and people got off the car one after another.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was winding. When I reached the corner, there would always be a few beeps and swaying. When it was getting dark, I finally saw the bridge in Wushan Village.

"Master, there is a car at the end of the bridge. Please stop the car!" After returning to the village, Li Mei let go and shouted loudly to the driver in front of her.

The driver asked: "Do you have any luggage?"

"Yes, yes." It was Tian Zhi who said this time.

The car stopped at the end of the bridge. The three of them got out of the car and took the bags from below. Tian Zhi smiled at the driver and waited for the car to leave before carrying his bags across the bridge.

The sky was a little blurry, but fortunately, the snow-white light on the ground was shining, and I could barely see the road. When I entered the village, there was more light coming from the houses on the roadside, so I could walk with confidence and boldness.

Tianyuan sniffed from time to time, as if he had runny nose from the cold. He didn't feel much when he was in the car, but when he got out of the car, he felt extremely cold. It seemed that the temperature in the village was much lower than the temperature in the city.

When they got home, Tianyuan turned on the light in the kitchen. Tianzhi and Tian Zhi went inside to put things in. When they came out, Tianyuan had already lit up the fire and was adding firewood.The three of them warmed up around the fire pit. When it got warmer, Tian Zhi went to the corner to chop firewood. Li Mei took the rice pot and washed the rice. Tian Yuan went to the stove to see if the coal fire was out. Although Tian Yu was ordered not to let it go, The fire here was out, but she was still worried.

Fortunately, the fire was not extinguished, the coal inside had not been burned out, and the hot water was quite hot. Tian Yuan first poured a basin of hot water and washed his face, then handed the basin to Tian Zhi, then went to the room to find a flashlight, and brought I picked up the basket and went to the vegetable garden.

"Just eat some tonight. Just chop a cabbage and pull out a few garlic leaves." Li Mei washed rice on the steps and said to Tianyuan.

"Okay." Tian Yuan agreed.

When he went into the vegetable garden, he first selected a cabbage and pulled it out, and then got some garlic leaves. The vegetables were covered with snow and were cold. Tianyuan breathed on his fingers and shook the flashlight to look around.

There are not many vegetables in the vegetable garden in winter. There are radishes planted in one area, cabbages planted in another area, and other green vegetables, all covered with a layer of snow.The pepper tree has dried up, and a few dead branches stand there, looking particularly lonely.

I pulled another radish and put it in the basket, closed the fence gate, and walked back to the field.

Li Mei had already cooked the rice. When Tian Yuan came in, she reached out to take the vegetable basket, glanced inside, and said with a smile: "I originally planned to stir-fry cabbage and eggs. You pulled out a radish and came back to think about it. There is no meat at home. Dry stir-frying is just like that.”

After going out, I felt extremely cold. Tianyuan squatted by the fire pit to warm up the fire. Because he needed to cook and boil water, Tianzhi burned the fire very brightly, lighting up the whole corner with orange.

Tianyuan: "Just stir-fry it plain. The frosted radish is very sweet. It's delicious even if you stir-fry it."

Li Mei smiled and said nothing. She brought the sink over, poured a ladle of hot water into it, and added a few ladles of cold water before starting to wash the vegetables.

People here love spicy food. When Li Mei stir-fries cabbage, you have to sprinkle a little dried chili pepper into it. It can be regarded as a little red among the green bushes. It looks good when served on a plate; then throw the garlic leaves into the pot and stir-fry. Crack three eggs in. The smell of scrambled eggs with garlic leaves is so fragrant that Tian Zhi's stomach starts to sing about an empty city plan.

The last radish was stir-fried, cut into shreds, and was almost cooked after a few tumblings in the pot. Li Mei still couldn't bear to add a handful of dried chili peppers to it, tumbling a few more times, and then it was out of the pot.

The three of them sat down around the small square table. Three simple dishes were placed on the table. Tian Zhi moved his chopsticks first.

The food in the city is quite delicious, but Tian Zhi always feels that he is not full. Now he is so hungry that he wolfs down a bowl of rice in a few times.

The mother and daughter were similar. They both ate quietly without saying much. They ate the meal very quickly. It took less than an hour from the time they walked in to the time they finished eating and put away their bowls. It still took more than half an hour to wait for the rice. , otherwise it will be faster.

After finishing the meal and sitting around the fire pit, Tian Zhi burped and asked, "Will the things be delivered to the store tomorrow?"

Li Mei sat on the chair and didn't want to move, and replied: "Well, send it over early, and you can come with us tomorrow. You haven't seen it in the store yet."

Tian Zhi opened his own store, which made Tian Zhi feel unreal. Thinking about the year before, he was still worrying about hundreds of dollars in tuition, but now he can afford to open a store. As expected, things have turned around, and now he has moved to my home. .

Tian Zhi was proud of it, and he agreed with a smile, "That's because I have to take a look, otherwise I wouldn't even know where it is."

Tianyuan made tea and brought it over. Each person handed a bowl and asked Li Mei: "What day will my uncle get married? Has the date been decided?"
