Chapter 179 Engagement
The ninth month of the lunar calendar, the third day of the third day.

After high-intensity construction, half of the road to Tang Shijia has been repaired, and a road around the mountain appears between the mountains and forests, as obvious as a isolation belt.

The current construction site is full of cliffs, and the construction progress has slowed down. The good thing is that the car can drive halfway, and the rest of the distance can only be walked.

A Cruiser was driving on a road that hadn't been covered with concrete, bumping and driving forward, until the car couldn't go any further, then stopped on the side of the road.

After getting out of the car, looking up, it is full of lush greenery, as far as the eye can see, it is full of greenery.

Those endless mountains appear endless under the white clouds, and they have the beauty of hundreds of thousands of mountains.

Wearing casual and light clothes, Lao Song stood on the edge of the road, breathing the unprecedented fresh air, and looked at the distant scenery with some intoxication.

"It's really a beautiful place." Lao Song said with emotion.

Those so-called green paradises are not as beautiful as here. The undeveloped original state is the most beautiful, with a kind of good-looking without human interference.

He has traveled to many places, and even has a branch in Yunzhou. Those so-called scenic spots are not as beautiful as here.

There are cliffs, shady trees, small rivers, and white birds singing together.

Next to him, Song Ci's mother was also standing next to him wearing sneakers, and took several videos with her mobile phone before putting the phone in her pocket.

Song Ci parked the car and got out of the car with Tang Shi.

Half of the road, which is less than [-] kilometers in length, has been repaired. Under the offensive of money, the progress is extremely fast. There is still half of the road, and the cliff has to be cleared before it can continue to move forward quickly.

This is not a small project, just blasting requires a lot of time and effort, Song Ci can see the picture of workers working hard a hundred meters away.

The money was invested by Song Ci, and the price was added by Tang Shi. She wanted to fix it faster and get access sooner.

"Going down here, that path is the way we go home. We have already reached Zaoziping, and the most difficult roads are gone." Tang Shi felt a little pleasantly surprised.

In fact, it takes several hours to walk. The main reason is that the road is difficult. The mountain road is just two words, but most people can't imagine how difficult it is.

When climbing those slopes online, people are so tired that they can't walk fast at all. It takes a lot of time and energy to climb a mountain, but the distance is not much.

Standing on the side, Song Ci could see a small road just opened, which was connected with the small road at the foot of the mountain.

Those dry branches are still lying on the side, and they are all dry.

"Let's go, get home early and rest early." Song Ci put the travel bag on his back,

Tang Shi was also carrying another travel bag. Lao Song asked him to carry it, but Tang Shi did not agree.

The car is left here, and when things are done, come back and drive.

Lao Song and Song Ci's mother rarely walked this kind of mountain road. They changed their shoes and clothes early. Song Ci's mother wore a hat and an ice silk mountain climbing jacket.

Holding a trekking pole in his hand, he followed Tang Shi down.

Occasionally, Tang Shi would remind her to be careful on the road. She was used to walking and it was fine. Song Ci's mother was not used to walking, and when she stepped down, she was not so natural and coordinated.

"Slow down!" She turned her head and said to Song Ci, "Shi Shi also slow down."

Fortunately, today is a sunny day. If it was raining, she would not know how difficult this road is.

Song Ci agreed, and walked down carrying the travel bag, not too much, not too little, Tang Shi herself was carrying a large travel bag, which contained Song Ci and her things.

What Song Ci recited was the things of Lao Song and his mother, as well as other things.

If you can carry less, you can bring less. This is a lot of things. A bag is at least 20 kilograms, and Song Ci’s is heavier, at least [-] kilograms.

"We are like those families who go hiking." Song Ci couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

Lao Song and Song Ci's mother walked in front, Tang Shi and him walked behind, and their clothes were mountaineering suits, thinking of those backpacker groups traveling and hiking, or a family group.

Looking at the lofty mountains, Lao Song nodded: "It was also a family."

"It's still a little short, so it's perfect." Song Ci's mother also said: "But the child must be tired and fall asleep after walking so far."

If you really walk like this, you won't be able to walk for long, and you have to walk with your back on your back.

Tang Shi followed them, holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand: "When we were young, we went out to the market with adults when we were seven or eight years old. When we came back home, we fell asleep while lying down."

It was really tiring, and I felt that the soles of my feet were not my own, and the pain was unbearable.

Many friends said that they can't walk long distances now, and after walking for two hours, their feet start to hurt, as if they have sequelae.

It’s just that when I was young, I was too keen on going to the market.

The mountain products and medicinal materials I have accumulated, I think that when I go to the market, I will sell them for some money, buy some things I like, and eat something I want to eat.

This feeling is unknown to those who have not experienced it.

What is lacking is not only the spirit, but also the material, and even the sugar can not eat much throughout the year.

Unlike now, the children in the village can still eat snacks, and there are many biscuits at home, so there will be no shortage of these things.

Song Ci's mother felt sorry for Tang Shi. The more she came here, the more she could feel her difficulty and her mother's difficulty. In her place, she didn't know if she could do so well.

Under such conditions, it is extremely rare to educate children so well.

"Man, toughness is really difficult to measure." Lao Song looked at the smooth stone, which was the mark of being stepped on.

In any environment, people can adapt and accept the environment, which is really remarkable.

Starting from the county seat in the morning, it was just before ten o'clock when he arrived here. Song Ci estimated that he would be home in about two hours.

It saves a lot of time. Although the road is not very wide, there is only one target lane, and due to rush work, some places have not been dealt with in time, but the car can drive here, saving several hours.

It's just that the road construction has to be detoured, and if it can't be built straight, it will take a lot of distance. This is the survey route, and it is already the best route.

"Mom and Dad, if you are tired, just sit and rest for a while before leaving. We can walk slowly for two hours, and we will just have lunch when we arrive." Song Ci said.

The sun was shining, and walking was still a little tiring. His parents rarely walked this kind of mountain road, and the path that went straight up was actually a test of physical strength.

After all, she is no better than Tang Shi's mother, she is completely adapted and used to it.

"Don't worry, we can persist. If we can't persist in this way, what is the sincerity?" Song Ci's mother replied.

Originally, they were going to find a hotel in Baiyun City to hold an engagement banquet, but in the end, when Mom and Dad went back, they were told by Grandpa, which meant that the engagement was for the man to go to the woman's house, and that was the rule.

No matter how difficult it is, no matter how tired you are, you have to go. This is sincerity, and it is also for the relatives and friends of the woman to watch. Find a hotel, what does it look like?
After being told by the old man, they had no choice but to change their minds, discuss with Song Ci and the others, or come directly, the engagement is in line with the rules.

There is this scene, a family hiking.

Tang Shi and Song Ci said that when she opened the video and talked about this with her mother, she laughed while saying how bad it was.

Obviously, being able to get engaged at home should be what she wants to see the most, but she is just worried that Song Ci's parents are too tired.

Sometimes, what the old man thinks is more reasonable, but many people don't want to listen to the old man's words, thinking that their own ideas are good.

"Auntie, the most difficult place to walk has passed. We'll be fine if we walk slowly. When we're tired, we can take a rest and blow some air." Tang Shi wiped off his sweat: "The mountain wind blowing here is still very comfortable."

When the majestic wind blows, you can see the green waves rolling, and when it blows past your face, it feels very comfortable.

When standing on the ridge mountain, the wind blows the most clearly and enjoys it very much.

When passing through the mountains and forests, Song Ci's mother found a lot of interesting plants. Those plants that cost 100 to [-] in the city can be found everywhere here.

It can be said that it can be found all over the mountains and plains, which made her think that it would be good to have a small garden here.

Seeing her like this, Song Ci knew what she was thinking: "When the time comes, we will come back to repair a house and make the garden bigger, so you can come and live here for a while every year."

Song Ci's mother's eyes lit up.

She likes this environment very much. The feeling of living in nature cannot be experienced in the city.

What kind of house is right next to the park? Living in the park is not as good as living in the mountains. How can there be so many trees?The air is fresh, and if you live for a long time, you may live for a few more years.

"That's a good idea. It will be convenient for you to bring your children back in the future, and stay here for a while." Lao Song guessed Song Ci's thoughts immediately.

The road is clear, build a better house, and it is comfortable to live in. His mother-in-law is also here, and there are still people to take care of it.

Boom, boom!
Looking back at the distant place, the sound of blasting could still be heard.

"Building a house or building a hotel here should be fine, and gradually many people will come to travel. This place has beautiful mountains and rivers and outstanding people. It's a good place." Lao Song said.

Song Ci just had this idea.

By the side of the road, find a suitable place to build a cliff sightseeing hotel. He can live by himself and start a small business. OK.

Find something for Tang Shi's mother to do, lest she face the loess all day long, not a few years older than her parents, and look ten years older.

"Find a place, repair it slowly, and build a better one, and strive for everything." Song Ci planned to find the address of the house to repair when he was free these few days.

In his situation, he can choose a place to build a house by himself after a short communication. After all, he still has the identity of an investor.

There is no rush, the road will be repaired this year, the guardrail will be pushed down, and it will lead to the village, and it will be repaired to the door of each family, so that this matter will be considered complete.

When standing at the pass of the mountain, Lao Song could see the small village in the distance. He wiped the sweat off his face and didn't bother to rub his legs. In fact, his legs were sore.

After walking for two hours, he talked a lot at first, but later, he didn't want to talk anymore.

I also rested several times along the way, and I was too embarrassed to rest too much. Tang Shi was still there, and I insisted on walking to the mountain pass, and finally I was almost there.

As the path extends, it is Tang Shi's village.

There are mountains and water. Standing in this position, you can see villages, forests, rice fields, corn fields, a small river, and a small lake in the distance.

Those cattle and sheep are grazing in groups, and you can still see the smoke rising from the kitchen, and occasionally you can see people.

A pair of human fireworks, rural style.

Lao Song can no longer be regarded as a very authentic rural person. Since Grandpa Song Ci moved to Jinmen to settle down, he has not cultivated land, nor has he lived on farming. This kind of scene, let alone Song Ci, he just saw Yes, no experience.

Farming, herding cattle, and taking care of children seems to be another very comfortable life. Compared with working all day and making money, this kind of life seems simpler and more relaxed.

People put pressure on themselves. If you live a simple life, you can actually be very relaxed.

It's just that there is a lot of anxiety, and I live on money. I am tired, and I am tired, and my emotions cannot be appeased.

"It feels like a paradise, isolated from the world." Song Ci's mother said, "It's no problem to make a movie in this place."

Song Ci couldn't help laughing.

When he came last time, he had a good time playing, and really enjoyed a slow-paced life.

Arriving today, I will be engaged in two days. After finishing the business, I can stay for a few days, so that my parents can experience rural life and feel what the ordinary daily life of the mother-in-law is like.

He still went to herd cattle.

Carrying a bag, when going downhill, it is much faster, probably because I saw the destination, my mood is different, and my steps are much lighter.

Along the way, you can still see people working in the fields, and when you see Tang Shi and them, you will say hello.

We all know Song Ci, and Song Ci also called uncles and grandpas. By the way, let me introduce my parents. Those polite aunts will pick some fresh cucumbers from the field and call them brothers and sisters. Very enthusiastic.

This season, there is not much to eat, the corn has started to change color, and there are very few cucumbers.

Lao Song, this old brother and that uncle's greetings, smoked and said kind words at the same time, and he, who was slick, quickly brought the distance closer.

Asking about the relationship with Tang Shijia, a few words added a layer of kinship.

In the village, they knew that the parents of Tang Shi's object were coming, and they also knew that they were coming from a far away place. They all said that they were sincere, and Tang Shi's mother started asking for help a few days ago.

If you don’t plan to have a lot of banquets, you should also invite relatives who are closer to witness, and there will be one or two tables.

The Tang poet family still has some relatives. Those surnamed Tang are always closer and have a closer relationship with her father. These people are always invited.

It was okay that my parents didn't come last time, but when they came, Tang Shi's mother had to take care of these things, and it took a lot of time to prepare.

She also specifically asked relatives and friends to discuss how to go about the process, and she had to be busy with all the big and small things.

Song Ci's parents said they would come, and she was very busy.

Although I said it briefly last time, it was not that simple in the end. The marriage was settled, and everyone in the village knew about it, and there would be no gossip in the future. It would all be done outside, and the villagers would gossip.

In particular, many people know that Tang Shi is rich now and is a big boss, and many people have found Tang Shi's mother and want her to talk to Tang Shi to see if she can help their children as much as they can.

She didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, Tang Shi made up her own mind about these matters.

"Uncle, Auntie, we are here." Tang Shi pointed to a house tens of meters away: "That's right there."

Lao Song silently breathed a sigh of relief.

It finally arrived, and fortunately, the road was repaired and a lot of distance was built. If it was really a few hours of walking, Lao Song felt that he might not be able to bear it.

Looking at Song Ci's mother, Lao Song knew that her situation was similar to his own, and she was also exhausted.

Arriving at the door of the house and entering the yard, Tang Shi shouted, "Mom~!"

"Hey~" Tang Shi's mother came out wiping her hands, and when she saw Song Ci's parents, she had a bright smile on her face: "Come on, let's make it at home, after walking for so long, you must be tired? Hurry up and sit down and have a rest. "

He dragged Song Ci's mother into the room, asked her to sit on a chair, then called Song Ci's father to sit down, and called Tang Feng to pour tea quickly.

In October, it happened to be a holiday, and Tang Feng was also at home.

While pouring tea, he called his uncles and aunts hello, and the very sensible Tang Feng brought them wet towels to wipe off their sweat.

Song Ci and Tang Shi put the bag away before returning to the house, and sat down on the chair. Song Ci gasped in disbelief: "Xiao Feng, give brother a whole wet towel, I'm so hot."

Song Ci, who was kicked by his mother, remained motionless.

This is how he and Tang Feng got along. Song Ci treated him like a younger brother, and he was never polite when ordering him. Of course, he was never stingy when buying things for him.

"Brother, are you tired?" Tang Feng smiled at Song Ci's mother, and then sat next to Song Ci: "I don't walk much now, you only walked far last time when you came here."

"It's okay to be tired, but I'm running out of heat." Song Ci looked at his crew cut: "Help me order some hot water, and soak your uncle's and aunt's feet."

"Okay." Tang Feng nodded.

After becoming more proficient with Song Ci, they get along very well. Tang Feng doesn't think he is overbearing. If there is anything, brother-in-law will really solve it. If you want any study materials, let me tell you, the express delivery will arrive in a few days. There is a dedicated tutor who will show him a video to teach him.

The driver's license is also the name Song Ci gave him, and he was asked to practice driving. If there is anything he can't make up his mind about, he will also talk to Song Ci.

"Why are you staring at me? I'm going to call my mom again in two days. When I go back to my home, can't I ask my brother to bring me some water?" Song Ci had a thick skin, standing next to Tang Shi's mother, and asked her: "Right? Auntie."

"Yes, quickly add some firewood for me, I'll cook." She patted Song Ci.

Look, once you can coax your mother-in-law well, there is no difference between going back to your mother's house and going home.

Although he had seen Song Ci get along very well with Tang Shi's mother, Lao Song still felt emotional that Song Ci coaxed his mother-in-law so well, as if he was his own child.

time flies.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

The fifth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar is an auspicious day for engagement and marriage.

This day is the day when Tang Shi and Song Ci got engaged.
