The sun hasn't completely set yet, but the moon has already risen and is hanging on the top of the mountain.
The evening breeze blew down from the mountain forest and was extremely cool. Zhang Tan was worried that the children would catch cold and urged them to go ashore and go home.
Thump thump thump~~~
Xi'er hugged the little yellow duck and splashed in the shallow water, playing happily. She always wanted to touch the deeper water, where Xiaobai and Dunzi were, but she was discovered by Xiaobai repeatedly, and then was driven back, saying that she couldn't
Swim only in shallow water unless she learns how to swim.
However, the so-called deep water area only reached her belly.
snort!
If she is not allowed to go, then she won’t go! Xi’er also had a lot of fun holding the little yellow duck in the shallow water. She has never played like this before!
In the past, she would always take a bath at home, and at most she would fiddle around in a basin filled with water, and there was a sister watching next to her, so how could she let her get high as she pleased.
It's different here. There's such a big river, so she can play with it as she pleases.
Xi'er heard Zhang Tan's shouting but ignored her. She was indulging in playing in the water and didn't want to go home so early.
She secretly glanced at Xiaobai and Dunzi, feeling that their side was more fun. Not willing to give in, she got up from the water, hugged the little yellow duck, and sneaked over again. However, she was soon discovered by Xiaobai, who was watching in all directions, and escorted her
return.
"hiahiahia~~~Xiaobai Xiaobai, let me come and play at your place." Xi'er said reluctantly as he was being escorted away.
"You can't swim, you will die." Xiaobai was also worried, not wanting Xi'er to die as soon as she came to her house.
"hiahiahia~~~I can swim, I can, Xiaobai! Look!"
"Then you have fun." Xiaobai decided to give her a chance.
Xi'er immediately climbed down and sank into the water. She held the little yellow duck in her arms and fetched the water with her feet, pressing her small hands against the bottom of the river.
Xiaobai gave up on her decisively, "This is not your strong point."
Xi'er returned to the shallows with a silly smile, looked down at the pebbles under her feet, raised her feet, and splashed with water.
Immediately he found himself flying up and was picked up by Boss Zhang and put on his shoulders.
"Go home! It's time to eat."
He called Xiaobai and Dunzi to go ashore as well, because it was close to home. Once they got ashore and crossed the small bridge, they were home, so they didn't bring any change of clothes.
The group returned home under the setting sun and moonlight, put on clean clothes, and went to Dunzi's house together to prepare for dinner.
"I didn't put too much chili pepper, Zhang Tan, you can eat it without worry." Dunzi's mother was very considerate. She finally knew that Zhang Tan didn't like spicy food, so she didn't put too much chili pepper in the dinner and tried to make it as light as possible.
"Boss Zhang likes spicy food~" Xiaobai said.
Zhang Tan lifted her away and said, "Don't block the road."
He went to the kitchen to serve the dishes, and there was a table full of hometown dishes, all delicious and delicious.
The dining table was moved to the yard outside. At this time, the moon hung in the clear night sky, the moonlight was like water, the sun had completely set and disappeared, and the whole world was blue and black.
The mountain breeze blows gusts, and there is no need for air conditioning or electric fans. However, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, so a pile of grain crumbs are lit in the yard and the smoke rises to repel mosquitoes.
Xi'er was still asking Xiaobai whether she could go to the deep water to play in the deep water next time. Xiaobai never agreed, but she was anxious.
"Xiaobai Xiaobai, if you let me take a bath, can I call you sister?" Xi'er applied.
Xiaobai: "I am your sister."
Xi'er was stunned for a moment, scratched her neck and said, "I'm already 9 years old!"
Xiaobai laughed and said to Dunzi: "Xiwawa said she is 9 years old! Hahaha~~"
She stood in front of Xi'er, compared her height with Xi'er, patted Xi'er's little head, "Little one~"
Xier was so angry that he sang:
"Xiaobai Xiaobai went up the stairs,
Turn on the TV,
Lala small antenna,
The TV is not good to watch,
Turn off the TV;
Xiaobai Xiaobai went down the stairs,
…”
Xiaobai went to chase Xi'er, but Xi'er ran away quickly.
"Come here for dinner, don't run away, or you'll sweat again." Zhang Tan called to them.
Teacher Jiang and Dunzi's mother brought the last dish to the table, washed their hands, and sat down at the table.
"This is the rice wine I brewed myself. It's not high in alcohol and very sweet. Zhang Tan drinks a little." Dunzi's mother said. The pot was filled with rice wine. When the lid was opened, a scent of wine floated to the tip of the nose. There was no commercial wine.
That pungent smell, light and mellow.
Zhang Tan poured a bowl and juice for Xiaobai, Xi'er and Dunzi.
"hiahiahia, godfather, I'll trade with you. Mine tastes delicious." Xi'er tried to exchange her juice for Zhang Tan's rice wine.
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Children can't drink, you will get drunk."
Xi'er leaned her little head, her nose twitched, and she said intoxicated that it smelled so good.
Zhang Tan pushed her away. Does this little fool still have such a talent? But no matter how good the talent is, he can't give it to her.
Zhang Tan picked up the wine and clinked glasses with Teacher Jiang and Dunzi's mother, especially thanking Dunzi's mother for the hospitality.
Seeing this, Xiaobai also picked up his own cup and asked Xi'er and Dunzi to clink their glasses together.
…
The moon moved silently from the top of the mountain to the top of the head, and the stars came out, like the red and purple flowers produced by the lespedeza in the yard, filling the sky with stars.
After dinner, we sat in the yard for a while and then took the kids home to sleep.
In the mountain villages, people usually watch TV for a while and then go to bed.
Dunzi followed Xiaobai subconsciously, but was stopped by his mother.
Tan Jin'er sent a message asking about Zhang Tan's situation. Zhang Tan greeted Xi'er who was being educated by Xiao Bai, "Your sister has sent a message. Come here and make a video call."
Xi'er immediately applied to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, my sister misses me, please let me go first~"
Xiaobai grabbed her little face and told her to go.
Xi'er then ran over and squeezed into Zhang Tan's arms. Zhang Tan handed her the cell phone he had just connected and asked her to talk to her sister.
I just heard Xi'er laughing all the time, saying that it was fun here, it was so fun, she didn't want to go back, the food was delicious, and she immediately showed off that she had eaten three bowls of rice tonight! Let her sister remember to write it down in the notebook
Help her cross out the meal she owes.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xi'er and Tan Jin'er chatted for a while, Xiaobai also came over, and finally Zhang Tan also talked to her for a while and hung up the phone.
"Go back to sleep."
The night in the valley is particularly quiet. The house can be heard hearing the cries of chickens and various unnamed insects. From time to time, deep calls of small animals can be heard from the forest behind the house, adding to the tranquility.
Xiaobai and Xi'er both slept with Teacher Jiang, while Zhang Tan slept in a room by himself. The room was Jiang Ping and Bai Xinyu's new house. There were even incomplete 囍 characters on the window lattice.
The big bed was facing the dressing mirror, and the lamp was faintly reflected in the mirror. Zhang Tan leaned on the bedside and could see the scene in the mirror when he raised his head.
He didn't think much, turned off the desk lamp and went to sleep. He was woken up by a strange sound in the middle of the night, like a child crying, one after another, wow wow wow.
Zhang Tan shivered, no longer feeling sleepy, the hairs on his body stood up, and he didn't dare to move. He raised his ears and listened, and the sound came from the window, as if he was lying under the window.
After a while, the voice was still calling, with no intention of leaving at all, and seemed to have identified this place.
Zhang Tan had a lot of thoughts, guessing what it was? It sounded like the cry of a child.
Suddenly the sound stopped and then rang in his ears. The hairs on his hair stood up and he sat up suddenly. Then he looked at the window in the moonlight and saw a pair of green eyes staring at him. He felt a chill running straight from his tailbone. When I arrived at Tianling Gai, I shouted loudly to encourage myself:
“What is there!!!”
"Meow~~"
The thing on the window meowed, jumped out of the window, and disappeared from sight. There was a rustling sound in my ears, and soon the sound disappeared.
Zhang Tan turned on the light in the room, first looked at the window, there was nothing there, then looked at the dressing mirror, and it was him who was reflected in the mirror.
There were footsteps outside the door, and Teacher Jiang stood outside and asked him what was wrong.
Zhang Tan calmed down and said that a wild cat had climbed to the window just now.
Teacher Jiang: "Wild cats in the mountains often appear in the village. Please close the windows."
Zhang Tan was greedy for coolness at night and did not close the window.
After such a fuss, he no longer felt sleepy. He sat on the bedside and thought about things. He didn’t know how long it took before he fell asleep. The next day, he was woken up by Xiaobai knocking on the door. Xiaobai told her that the baby was happy last night. Bedwetting!
