Chapter 0877 single family
Success is a woman, failure is a woman.
Xia Jian seems to be inseparable from women in this life. These bastards just now let his car go, and now it is Li Dongmin who ran out to relieve his worries. Xia Jian shook his head helplessly and said, "Then I'm sorry, Sister Dongmin, I'll stay at your house tonight for a while, and I'll go on a journey tomorrow."
"Okay! Then let's go." Li Dongmin smiled slightly, without any pretentiousness, and looked very good-looking.
Xia Jian asked Li Dongmin to sit in the passenger seat and guided him in the direction. The two drove the car slowly towards Li Dongmin's house. At this time, the sun had already set foot on the mountain, and there was silence everywhere. Only the four tires of the car rolled across the mountain village road full of leaves, making a harsh sound.
He turned around and walked for more than ten minutes. Li Dongmin suddenly pointed to a small courtyard at the foot of the mountain and said softly: "It's just where it's quite desolate, I'm afraid you won't be used to living."
"It's okay, I'll have no problem with being able to live there," Xia Jian said this, but he was thinking to himself, I'm just staying for one night, what's wrong with living there?
The courtyard wall is adobe, but it is built at a high and strong. A wooden gate looks very bulky. Xia Jian parked the car at the gate, and he planned to park here. Unexpectedly, Li Dongmin said, "Wait, I'll go down and open the door, you'd better park the car in the yard!"
In fact, it’s nothing to put the car at the door in this wilderness. But since Li Dongmin said that, Xia Jian could only listen to her. If such a high-end car does not have a key, it would take some effort to drive and leave.
Fortunately, a woman like Li Dongmin drove the door. If someone else had changed to another woman, she might not be able to push it. The car drove to the middle of the yard. Xia Jian parked it and jumped out of the car and helped Li Dongmin push the big wood and lock it up.
At this time, a big black dog rushed over and stared at Xia Jian. Li Dongmin shouted: "Huzi! This is a guest, don't bite it randomly. Don't be afraid, he will not dare to whine without my order."
The black dog seemed to be able to understand people's words. It shook its tail at Xia Jian and ran away with joy. Xia Jian then let go of his heart that was raised to his throat. He was not afraid of the dog, but this guy rushed out quietly. And his figure was like a calf.
"I'll laugh! There's not much to do in front of the widow's door, so I can only build a high courtyard wall, and add this big wooden door. Besides, I raise a smart dog in the deep mountains and forests, so I can sleep peacefully." Li Dongmin smiled and called Xia Jian to walk up the house.
There are three upper rooms, two east rooms, and on the west is a thatched house for miscellaneous items, and next to it is a toilet. Xia Jian is from a rural area, so he just took a look and understood.
After unlocking the door lock, Xia Jian followed Li Dongmin into the room. The decoration in the room was simple, with a large kang on the bed, and then an ancient wardrobe. There was a square table on the ground, two chairs, and a few bags of food placed against the corner of the wall. Seeing this, Xia Jian remembered the appearance of their house more than ten years ago.
Li Dongmin smiled sadly and said, "You will only be here for one night, which is better than spending the night outside. Of course, this condition is incomparable to life in your city."
"Without Sister Dongmin, my family is also from the countryside, but it has developed a little better in recent years. It's like this before," Xia Jianbing said with a smile.
When Li Dongmin heard Xia Jian say this, she naturally had too many things. She smiled and said, "Then you sit there casually, I'll go cook quickly." Li Dongmin said, then turned around and walked out.
Xia Jian was anxious and grabbed Li Dongmin's hand. He felt that the woman's hands were wide and thick, but very rough, which showed that she was a very diligent person.
Xia Jian took it and immediately let it go. He hurriedly said, "Sister Dongmin, there is no need to cook. There is a lot of food in my car. I will take it down later and we can eat something together."
"You should keep it on the road for food in the car! When you arrive at my house, there is still some simple food," Li Dongmin said, and he was about to go out again. Xia Jianyi hurriedly grabbed her, and the woman lowered her head a little embarrassedly. After all, men and women are not allowed to marry each other, let alone in such an environment.
Xia Jian put Li Dongmin's hand and ran out quickly. He took a plastic bag and packed a bag of instant noodles, ham sausages, and some cooked foods such as jerky and chicken legs. He also took two bottles of drinks. Guo Meili was really thoughtful.
Xia Jian mentioned these things to Li Dongmin and said with a smile: "You look at it and it's mainly about eating, but there are not enough in the car, so there are so many things." Xia Jian said and laughed.
Li Dongmin took a look at it, then walked to the corner, brought a small dining table, and put all these things on it. She smiled slightly and said, "I will get a box of instant noodles for each person, and then I will process this meat and the like, which should be a little more delicious."
"Okay! I'll leave it all to you." Xia Jian was very happy when he heard this. Li Dongmin brought a few things and went back to the kitchen next door.
At this time, Xia Jian heard a slight noise in the east room. Xia Jian guessed that she should be her deaf and blind mother-in-law as Li Dongmin said! It is really pitiful to live to this level.
The sun came off the mountain, and it was as dark as it was. In the blink of an eye, the curtain was covered with four shades. The mountains and trees in the distance had been dissolved into one, and they could not be distinguished at all, just a ball of black.
Just as Xia Jian was feeling the darkness, Li Dongmin had already prepared the cooked food and put it into the plate and bowl, and also soaked instant noodles. When Xia Jian saw that there were three instant noodles, his master understood that Li Dongmin would also send one to his mother-in-law, and it was obvious that she was also a filial person.
It was soon impossible to see clearly in the room, and Li Dongmin took out a kerosene lamp and lit it. Xia Jian used this thing when he was young, but it has been out of use for many years now. For example, if you temporarily shut down the electricity, everyone uses candles.
Li Dongmin tasted the soaked box of noodles and said, "It's okay to eat it, you can eat it first! I'll go to wait for my mother-in-law to eat the boxed lunch." Li Dongmin said and stood up.
Xia Jian hurriedly picked a few pieces of chicken on the plate and put them in the lunch box that Li Dongmin brought. Li Dongmin looked at Xia Jian with a little gratitude and walked quickly.
At this time, a gust of mountain wind blew into the house, and the kerosene lamp jumped twice and almost went out. Xia Jian hurriedly blocked it with his hands. The kerosene lamp shook the candle head and finally lit up again.
Xia Jian never thought that there was such a poor place. He thought that Shuijing Village in Pingyang Town was the poorest place, but when he saw that Shuijing Village was at least powered.
Just as he was sighing about this place, Li Dongmin walked in and she asked softly: "Why haven't you eaten yet?"
"I'm waiting for you, let's have a meal together!" Xia Jian said with a smile.
Li Dongmin thought for a while and said, "You are such a good dish, it's not OK to have wine. Let's do this! There is also a bottle of homemade old wine sent by a relative a few years ago. It tastes good. If you don't dislike it, let's drink some."
"Okay! I can't get such a wine now. I can't even like it even too late, so why do I hate it?" Xia Jian became much more energetic when he heard that there was wine.
Li Dongmin brought up a porcelain jar, which seemed to be as much as four or five pounds. She found two more bowls and poured one for her and Xia Jian. Seeing that Li Dongmin was so generous, Xia Jian picked up the bowl without saying a word and said, "It is also a fate to meet you. Being able to sit together and drink is a blessing in life. Let's take a sip."
Li Dongmin smiled slightly, raised the bowl and took a big sip. Xia Jian then moved the chopsticks. In fact, he was already hungry because he had eaten this time.
Gradually, Li Dongmin talked more, because by chatting with Xia Jian, she found that Xia Jian was also very approachable and never felt arrogant or looked down on the farmers.
There is wine, meat, and beauty. This is the life that everyone wants, and Xia Jian is no exception. After three rounds of wine, everyone actually drank three bowls, which is already a lot.
Although it was a homemade wine, it was also a white wine. The power of the wine gradually evaporated. A hint of blush appeared on Li Dongmin's face.
Xia Jian couldn't help asking, "Sister Dongmin! Why is your family single family? Don't live with the villagers?"
"My husband's ancestors have always lived here, and gradually got used to it. In order to marry me, I specially built a house for us in Dongwang Village, but later something happened, and I moved here with my mother-in-law. The house in the village is now empty and no one lives there." When Li Dongmin said this, his face looked very desolate.
Xia Jian took another sip of wine and asked, "What's going on? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you?"
"Forget it! Our mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so even the government doesn't pay much attention to us. So what can you do?" Li Dongmin said, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Xia Jian then remembered where Li Dongmin's family belonged to. He made a drink and asked, "This place is indeed remote. I feel like I have entered the forest area. Where do you have jurisdiction?"
"Of course we are still under the control of Pingcheng City, but wherever you park today, you can just go to the neighboring county a few hundred meters away. It is because we are too far from Pingcheng City, and the government doesn't pay much attention to us," Li Dongmin said a little sadly.
When Xia Jian heard this, he was stunned. He thought for a while and said, "No! I drove away for about four hours last night, why are I still in the city?"
"Haha! You drove out and went back, so you felt a little strange. This is what the mountain looks like," Li Dongmin said with a smile.
Xia Jian nodded, he let out a long sigh, and then said to Li Dongmin with great confidence: "Since you are still under the jurisdiction of the city, I can manage your affairs, just tell me."
"It's useless, officials protect each other. We ordinary people can only swallow our anger, otherwise there would be no place for me to stand in the deep mountains." Li Dongmin said, tears in his eyes.
