Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 20 What is she eating?
The herbal gang that originally belonged to the village head's own family has now truly become a villager's gang.

Although the village chief felt a little heartbroken, he couldn't help it. Could he really let these people go back?
Strange to say, I haven't even seen the shadow of the medicinal materials yet, and I don't even know if there will be any harvest today. The village chief already seems to have a pile of gold waiting for him to dig, and these villagers want to grab it from him. gold.

It's like cutting his own flesh.

Forget it, let's go together.

The village head was very depressed and helpless to lead the team forward.

A group of more than a dozen people walked together, both men and women, and the youngest was over 50 years old. They spoke in a mountain village accent, and the team was quite spectacular.

Cheng He hugged his sleeping daughter, thinking that these people were too noisy, so he walked behind.

Taohua Village was originally located in the mountains, surrounded by rolling mountains.Further away is Xiaolian Mountain, where outsiders are keen to travel by car. All the hills are counted together, and the area is dozens of miles.

If you just enjoy the beautiful scenery, blow the mountain breeze, or overlook from a high altitude, the scenery here is undoubtedly the most moving.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful and lush, and the uncanny workmanship of nature is amazing.But if you want to walk with your feet, that's another story.

Mountain roads are different from concrete roads. There are no means of transportation, so you can only walk with your feet.In some places where the slope is very steep, an auxiliary rope is required, otherwise, if you accidentally fall down, you may even lose your life.

Moreover, look at the mountains and run dead horses.Some places seem to be on the opposite side, but walking on the mountain with no roads may take half a day to get there.If unfortunately there is still a pool of water in the middle, it will go farther.

Living in the mountains, you can enjoy its natural gifts, but you must also bear the hardships it brings.

The team started early in the morning and walked until noon.In summer, although most of the forests are shaded by trees, the heat in the forests cannot flow out, and it is extremely uncomfortable after a long time.

But there is no way. Going to the mountains to collect herbs is not for pleasure.

Mountain people who are used to walking on mountain roads will not complain of suffering or tiredness.They have their way of relieving fatigue: singing folk songs.

When they arrived at a shaded place, people found some smooth and flat stones to sit down and rest their feet.But the feet are resting, but the mouth is restless.

A group of people here were still chatting, saying that early in the morning, when the village chief saw them coming, his expression suddenly became bitter. Look at their stinginess, as if they were here to dig things from his house.

One person said, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere was quite joyful.

On the other side, they have already opened their posture, cleared their throats with a sip of mountain spring water, and began to sing:
"Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey...

Where is the most beautiful scenery in the world,
From the mountains of my hometown to the water of my hometown,
The spring water of peach blossoms is fragrant and sweet,

Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey..."

The folk songs in the mountains are very lifelike, melodious and the township head, with the mountain wind, very flavorful.Cheng He hasn't heard such a friendly tune for several years.

The person who started has sung the first verse, and the second person is ready to go on:

"One taste will make your heart drunk,

Mountains of peach blossoms come waters of peach blossoms,
Attract the kingfishers to fly together,

Spreading its wings before the door of the house,
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey..."

The people in the mountains have a mellow voice, regardless of gender, they can sing very charming accents.The man's voice is hoarse and rough, while the woman's voice is thin and long, with the unique charm of folk songs.

"Sing that song to announce the return of spring, to announce the return of spring,
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey..."

A few more echoes are formed between the mountains, which is even more refreshing and fatigue-free.

Life in the mountains is hard, singing folk songs, people will have more hope for life.Life is always bitter and sweet.

Cheng Xinxin woke up early, sat in the basket and played by herself. When she was hungry, she would eat bread and drink yogurt. Cheng He would also pick some wild fruits for her to try. It would be interesting.

When hearing the folk song, the little girl was stunned.The first time she heard this special singing voice, she felt very curious.

Cheng He looked at his daughter dotingly. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to come into contact with so many new things and folk customs. Her childhood should not be boring.It's good for her development.

Compared with many who can only sit in front of the TV and enjoy it, she has an extra sense of participation, and she will definitely gain more in her heart.

Some people were singing folk songs, while others had already taken out dry food and were ready to have lunch.

There is a kind of rice cake, which is very popular in Nanshan City. It can be eaten at ordinary times or made into dry food. It will not be too dry or choked, and it will easily fill your stomach.

That kind of rice cake is white, tender, delicate, and very soft. It trembles slightly when held in the hand, and it tastes very good. It has a unique fragrance. When it is put in the mouth, it is crispy, soft, and sweet.

In fact, like this kind of snack, when you often eat it at home, you may not feel any special feeling.It is not worth much, even if someone sells it on the street, it can be full for one or two dollars.

But when a person leaves his hometown for a long time, this taste becomes synonymous with his hometown.Missing my hometown is sometimes based on the food in my hometown.

Cheng He has experienced that in the past few years, when he was outside in the past few years, sometimes in the middle of the night, he happened to see a picture of rice cakes from his hometown, and he would suddenly think crazily of his parents and the scene when they were grinding rice cakes in the middle of the night.

However, in this life, he will no longer be able to eat that unique taste in the world.

Cheng Xinxin sat on Cheng He's lap, watching others put the white, tender and crystal clear rice rake into their mouths from afar, feeling that it should be delicious.

She swallowed dryly, then pointed at him and asked Cheng He, "Dad, what is she eating?"

Cheng He's face was full of embarrassment, this child...

In front of others eating, ask them what they are eating!Is she not full?She never stopped talking all the way...

The person on the opposite side heard it, and took one out of the bag with a smile, handed it over, and said, "Come on, little guy, take it!"

Now the little girl knew she was shy. She put her arm around Cheng He's neck embarrassedly, and looked at his face with a shy look, but there was great desire in her eyes.

Cheng He had no choice but to say to others: "Oh, third aunt, you are so polite. Come on, Xinxin, and then, I want to thank third grandma!"

This is a member of the previous generation in the village. This person is the third in the family, and Cheng He is also called the third aunt.

Cheng Xinxin joyfully stretched out her hand and said loudly, "Thank you, Third Grandma."

"It's okay, I'm grateful for this little thing! If you like it, I'll bring it to you." The other party was very kind, with a typical mountain village character.

Cheng Xinxin took the rice cake and quickly stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite. The little guy's eyes widened, "Dad, it's so delicious, try it..."

Then without further ado, he stuffed it into Cheng He's mouth.

Cheng He is so sweaty!

"Ho ho ho..." The third aunt couldn't help laughing, and said, "This child kisses you very much!"

After chatting and laughing with the third aunt, Cheng He had to leave quickly, otherwise this girl didn't know how many jokes she could make for him.

Cheng He didn't bring dry food.

He wasn't prepared for it.What are you kidding, you still have to worry about food after entering the mountain?
