Rebirth Happiness Raiders

Chapter 369
To be honest, in such a remote mountain village, braving the severe cold of minus 20 degrees and still starving, Jiang Ruoyu's mood was really bad. She couldn't help but despise the propaganda minister of the student union for several times in her heart. This time, what's winning the lottery?It's total bullshit!

But looking at the kind smile of the kind old man in front of her, she felt warm in her heart again. When he asked, she quickly said politely: "Yes, we are students from Binjiang No. [-] Middle School. We are here, uh, for inspection. Write an essay." Can she say that they won the lottery and came to "one-day trip"?Don't let the old man laugh his teeth out.

The old grandfather smiled with a red face, looked Jiang Ruoyu and Wang Xiao up and down, saw that the two children were dressed like city people, and immediately became more polite and enthusiastic when facing guests from afar, and said loudly: " Oh, so you came from Binjiang City, the distance is not far, but the traffic here is not very convenient, only one car a day, and the road is also bumpy, besides, there are no scenic spots in this mountain, and there are very few Some people from the city are coming."

Jiang Ruoyu and Wang Xiao nodded with a smile, they don't know what to say, do they want to complain to others?
"Hey, we don't have a serious restaurant in Xiaobeigou. If you two are hungry, why don't you come in and have a meal together. My wife steamed big pancakes and potatoes, and stewed pheasant and hazel mushrooms. We in the countryside There's nothing delicious, so you just follow along and have a meal."

Jiang Ruoyu's eyes lit up when he heard that there was food to eat, and said a little embarrassedly: "Then what a shame to bother you."

The old man laughed and said, "Don't bother me, we haven't had anyone from the city come to Xiaobeigou for eight lifetimes, but there are fewer and fewer residents in the village, and they all went to the city. It's rare that you come here and fuck me again." Come here to buy food, how can I let you go on an empty stomach. Come on, young man, come in, girl, come into the house quickly. "

After speaking enthusiastically, the old man had already opened the cotton curtain for them, with a hearty smile on his face, showing the simplicity and hospitality unique to the mountain people.

Jiang Ruoyu and Wang Xiao looked at each other. It was really difficult to refuse such a warm invitation. Besides, they really needed a hot dinner now, so that they could support them until they returned to Binjiang City by car tomorrow morning.

Jiang Ruoyu walked into the house with a smile on her face, and said, "Grandpa, let's eat at your place, and pay for the meal after we finish eating."

The old man glanced at Jiang Ruoyu, and said disapprovingly: "How much money do you need for a meal, this girl has nothing to eat, and there is nothing delicious. Come in, come in."

Behind the cotton curtain is a room of about ten square meters. The interior of the room is very simple, it can be said to be barren.There are ordinary brick walls on all sides, and there is almost no furniture. As soon as you enter the door, there is a large kang on the left. On the kang is an old-fashioned small square wooden dining table.There were two plates on the side, one of which contained Huang Yingying's dishes, and after a closer look, it turned out that it was fried corn kernels with pine nuts.Another dish is onion mixed with black fungus.In winter, the warmth of the room and the tangy aroma of the food made Jiang Ruoyu feel a deep sense of happiness immediately.His eyes narrowed with a smile.

"My wife, who is here?"

An old lady with a round figure was holding a dry food basin in both hands, which contained steaming cornmeal pancakes and whole steamed potatoes.As soon as she saw the two beautiful children standing at the door of the house, she smiled lovingly on her wrinkled face: "Whose children are these?"

The old grandpa smiled and greeted Jiang Ruoyu and Wang Xiao to sit on the kang, and said to the old grandma, "My wife, these two children are from Binjiang City. The school asked them to come here for inspection. Isn't there no place to eat here? Let them come in and eat."

"Ah, it should be, it should be." The old lady nodded eagerly, and then said with some distress: "Oh, there is nothing delicious to entertain you in this village."

Jiang Ruoyu and Wang Xiao had already taken off their coats, and sat cross-legged on the warm kang head. Hearing what the old grandma said, Jiang Ruoyu quickly shook his head: "Grandma, you are too polite, we are the ones taking the liberty to bother you."

The old man lifted the lid of the casserole at this time, and a strong smell of meat filled his nostrils immediately, and Jiang Ruoyu's saliva almost flowed out.Inside the casserole is a pot of stewed chicken and mushrooms with a slight oily sheen.

Stir-fried corn kernels with pine nuts, onions mixed with fungus, and stewed chicken with hazel mushrooms, is this nothing delicious?
The old man handed the chopsticks to the two of them, and the old woman gave each of them a big pancake. The two old men had real smiles on their faces, "Eat, eat quickly. Eat more pheasant meat, this I went up the mountain yesterday to fight."

"Hey, thank you, grandma." Jiang Ruoyu took a big bite of the cornmeal pancakes, and felt that it was delicious and delicious.

While eating, Jiang Ruoyu praised the grandmother's cooking skills, and occasionally inquired about things seemingly unintentionally.

"Grandpa, I don't think there are many residents in our Xiaobeigou."

"Well, there are only 36 households."

"Ah, that's really not much."

"Our place is small, and most people feel that there is no development. The young people have gone to the city, and those who have the conditions have also left. We don't want to move, so we just rely on mountains and water to eat water. , it’s quite comfortable anyway.”

Jiang Ruoyu smiled and said, "Then what do we have to eat here? I don't think there is any big farmland."

The old lady stuffed the pancakes into her mouth, and said with a shy smile, "Hey, there is something to eat in the mountains. There is some land behind the village. We can grow some side dishes by ourselves. Most of them are brought from the mountains." There are many. You see, there are mountains all around, and when you turn over one, there is another one. All of them have no head."

"That's right." The old man rushed to say, "Our place was actually developed a while ago, when the Binjiang City Forestry Bureau came to cut wood."

The old lady nodded: "Well, that's right, but it's been a few years. Our mountainous forestry bureau said that we should protect trees and prevent indiscriminate logging. They also said that we should protect the virgin forest behind here. Hey, we I don’t understand, but our ancestors have lived here for generations, since we were young, there were only eight families in Xiaobeigou, and we have been living here.”

Listening to the simple words of the old grandma and grandpa, Jiang Ruoyu rolled her eyes, and suddenly saw a glimmer of business opportunity. Didn't she discuss with that Shuyu a few days ago to start a mountain goods business?

She put down the pancake and smacked her mouth while eating the fungus: "Grandma, this fungus is really delicious, much better than what I eat at home."

"Haha, as long as you like to eat it, this is a wild fungus picked on the mountain."

"Ah! No wonder it's so delicious. The meat is thick and the taste is good. The pine nuts are also fragrant."

The old man was happy: "The children in this city, looking at us, everything is fresh, isn't it? I went up the mountain to pick up these pine nuts. There are so many pine trees on the mountain. If you pick them up casually, you will get a big basket of pine cones." , Come back and burn it with fire.”

"That's great!" Jiang Ruoyu said with a smile, "Then are there many pheasants on this mountain?"

"A lot! There are a lot. The pheasants are flying on the treetops. The hazel mushrooms are also easy to pick, they are everywhere."

Jiang Ruoyu nodded thoughtfully, changed the topic when he got the information he wanted, and said, "Grandpa, I see that your face is rosy and you look really good. Are you in your sixties?"

As soon as Jiang Ruoyu finished speaking, the grandmother covered her mouth with half of her teeth missing and smiled: "Haha, he's in his sixties? He's already 87!"

"Ah?!" Jiang Ruoyu exclaimed in surprise, "87? God, grandpa, you don't look like an 80-year-old at all!"

The old woman smiled and said, "I am 84 this year, so he is 87."

"Oh my god, grandma, you look 70 years old and you've said too much. How do you take care of yourself? You are so healthy and so young."

The old lady smiled honestly, and said: "Hey, what else can we maintain, that is, we work all year round. In the spring, when the vegetables come down from the mountains, we both carry the baskets on our backs to dig the vegetables, what kind of mother-in-law?" , Pick them up one by one, celery, soursop, thorny old sprouts, shepherd's purse, mountain dates, mushrooms, and pig's mouth mushrooms growing on beech wood." The old grandmother counted them with her fingers, and suddenly felt herself It seemed to be long-winded, and he immediately smiled and waved his hands and said: "Oh, anyway, I see the sky wandering around on the mountain, I take back the vegetables I pick, and I eat them in the sun, and dry them in the sun to eat in winter. Anyway, it's all year round, I just eat these things from the mountains. We planted a pear tree and two sand fruit trees behind the house, and there is a row of land to grow some vegetables. Hey, a busy day is over."

Jiang Ruoyu listened carefully, and suddenly felt envious of such a life.Growing in the mountains, the air is naturally fresh, even the sky is clearer than in the city.There are many trees on the mountain, and breathing pure oxygen every day is of course good for the body.Going up the mountain to dig vegetables every day is exercise, and going home to remove weeds, fertilize, and watch the crops I planted sprout, grow, bloom and bear fruit.The heart is naturally quiet.It's no wonder that this old man lived a long life and didn't have so many intrigues. He lived a bland and happy life. He didn't eat too much, but he didn't have a lot of work every day.This is the real health.

She smiled enviously, and said with emotion: "That's great, hey, I wish I could live here too." Stay away from those grievances, work every day at sunrise and rest at sunset, watch the spring bloom and autumn bear fruit, and watch the sun and the moon change.It doesn't matter if she is not promising or aggressive, she just envies such a life of idleness and wild cranes.

The old grandpa and the old grandma looked at each other and laughed: "This child, there are still those who envy our countryside. Hey, in this village, half-aged children have gone out. Who wants to stay? We are the ones who stay. Older ones. I think, when we are gone, this village will be deserted!" Both of them sighed at the same time.

Jiang Ruoyu blinked, "How could it be? Grandpa and grandma, haven't you thought about shipping mountain goods out to make money?"

"Ah?" The old couple looked at her in surprise as if they were listening to heavenly scriptures, "Does anyone have these things?"

　Luck can't stop wow!
