Yao Xiaojing did not expect to cross the Yellow River from City Y to his hometown. When passing the extra-large bridge with the second longest span in the country, Chen Mufeng pointed to the emerging city on the other side and said: "Xiaojing, we have arrived in Henan."
"Your hometown?" Although it seems not as prosperous and lively as a big city, the whole city looks very clean and close to nature.
He stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction: "Not yet..." He brought a soft pillow from home, leaned on her back and said softly: "Get some sleep... there's still a while.
Only then can we get home.”
She snuggled up to his shoulder and said, "I want to lie down here and sleep..."
"If you are so naughty, I will drive the car into a ditch." He twisted her nose and helped her straighten.
Yao Xiaojing felt very at ease. She leaned against the car window and looked at the surrounding scenery. Amidst the loud roar of Poussin, she was rocked into sleep... She slept until the sun turned to the west, and she woke up hazily by rubbing her eyes.
When I came, I found that the vehicle was driving on a mountain road with poor road conditions, and the vehicle was bumping more violently than before.
"Are you awake?" He reached out and wiped the sweat on the tip of her nose.
"We haven't arrived yet..." She thought that the airport in Y City and his hometown were only a few dozen minutes away at most. Unexpectedly, the car had driven for nearly 4 hours and still hadn't reached its destination.
There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, and for the first time he regretted the trouble that her willfulness and arrogance had brought to him. Taking the train was actually the shortcut, but in order to make her comfortable, he even traveled a whole day.
He went to pick her up at the airport in a neighboring province... On the other hand, he didn't look tired even though he was concentrating on driving. There was a hint of excitement and joy in his eyes, and he would often turn his face to look at her quietly and smile.
Such a man.
How could she not love?
"It takes another 20 minutes to climb over this mountain." The mountain he mentioned belongs to the Funiu Mountain District in western Henan. It has a radius of several hundred miles and is full of contiguous peaks. The mountains here are high and the forests are deep.
In remoteness, a unique winding mountain road maintains the connection between the people in the mountains and the outside world.
The winding mountain road has a steep mountain wall on one side and an abyss on the other. There are no obstacles on the roadside. Many turning sections are almost rubbed by the wormwood on the roadside. Yao Xiaojing grabbed the clothes on her chest and looked at it with fear.
Looking at the bottomless ravine outside the car window, I couldn't help shouting: "Mu Feng...slow down..."
Chen Mufeng was very used to it. Seeing her panicked look, he couldn't help but perform a few more thrilling technical moves.
"Ah----------" She was so frightened that she didn't know how to close her eyes, staring blankly at a small mountain village that appeared in front of her with a pair of big black eyes.
At the foot of the mountain, the blue-gray roofs are hidden among the lush trees, scattered among the picturesque autumn scenery, which is breathtaking.
"Mufeng...your hometown?!" she exclaimed in surprise...a beautiful place that was completely beyond her imagination, with primitive and simple mountain folk customs, and the unique fresh air in the mountains came towards her.
..
"Yes...this is the hometown where I was born and raised." Chen Mufeng smiled. His bronzed handsome face reflected in the sunset seemed to be cast with a trace of nostalgia.
The road on the road is a winding mountain, and the time to go down the mountain is longer than the time to go up the mountain... Seeing that she is almost home, but she can't touch it, Yao Xiaojing can't help but pick up the window glass and want to stick her head out for some air...
He took her arm and pushed her back into the parking space.
"It's very cold in the mountains and the temperature is low. Don't freeze..."
"Exaggeration...it's cold over there..." She stretched her arms out of the half-open window, trying to show off her strength to him, but when the biting cold mountain wind passed through her arms rapidly, she
His face turned pale, and he quickly took his hand back automatically, keeping his head down without saying a word.
Chen Mufeng had a look of understanding on her face, smiled and held her hand in her big palm, rubbing it warmly...
"The habit of being aggressive will harm you...change it in the future...you know?" She didn't take his advice with a smile to heart...but a long time later, she realized that Chen Mufeng's words would serve her for the rest of her life.
of advice.
When Yao Xiaojing finally arrived in his hometown where he had lived for more than ten years, his previous surprise was completely wiped out by the sight in front of him.
It turns out that there are such poor places in Henan. There is not a single two-story building in the entire village. The villagers basically live in adobe houses that have been in disrepair. Cracks on the outer walls can be seen everywhere. The artificially repaired dirt roads are narrow and cramped.
The mulberries could only be parked in the yard at the entrance of the village, together with the dry bean sprouts left on the ground from the Niululuqi grinding field (the original bean threshing method).
Yao Xiaojing felt that Chen Mufeng next to her was a little nervous. His hand stayed on the military uniform's buckle and had been rubbing it back and forth for a long time.
Some sour pain overflowed in my heart... Did he grow up in such an environment? He looked up at the mud house in front of him with smoke curling up... Guess which one he had lived in? The path in front of him seemed like
A lonely figure of a young man appeared, walking firmly towards her.
"Getting out of the car... Mu Feng..." She opened the car door first and jumped out of the car briskly...
Looking back at the major who was still stunned in the car, she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Get out of the car... isn't this our... new home?" She emphasized her tone and successfully appeased her by saying she didn't mind.
Only after the major became anxious did he dare to rub his thin sleeves and jump to cry out cold...
It's really not that cold here. In Beijing, the temperature is over 10 degrees. But in the mountainous areas, it drops by 7 or 8 degrees. What he means is, it gets colder at night?
Chen Mufeng found her trolley case: "Did you bring your coat? If not, I'll take it off for you..." He was wearing autumn clothes and took off his coat for her. Didn't he have to wear a singlet...
"I brought it... I brought clothes... I also brought you a sweater..." She really wanted to praise Colonel Chi Yuyan's verbosity. It was her tireless urging and nagging that made her
So as not to fall into an awkward situation..
Chen Mufeng was carrying a large cardboard box with one hand and her trolley suitcase with the other. She smiled meaningfully at her and said, "I'm home, Xiaojing..."
As soon as the two of them took a step forward, they heard someone at the entrance of the village yelling in dialect: Fengwazi is back------------
Suddenly, a large group of people, old and young, who were watching the fun appeared out of nowhere. They all stared excitedly at the beautiful and fashionably dressed girl and rushed toward them.
