Start being a hermit today

Chapter 3 Mountain Village
Departing from Shudu, I changed cars three times along the way, and the last one was a motorcycle. I finally arrived at my hometown at noon.

His hometown, where he lives... ahem...

It got its name because of the nearby mountain, and the name of the mountain is Yanzi Mountain, so the village is naturally called Yanzi Mountain Village.

Not only is this very puzzling, speaking of it, Yanzi Mountain is still relatively far from the village. It is opposite the village, separated by a river, and it is backed by Tiger Mountain. Why is it not called Tiger Mountain Village?
Uh, Tiger Mountain Village?Swallow Mountain Village?Or Yanzi Mountain!

After getting off the motorcycle, it’s more than just thanking the driver. Of course, the fare is also indispensable. It’s not too bad to charge him eight yuan for six or seven kilometers. Now the motorcycles in the town have started to charge ten yuan.

After sending the driver away, there is more than a few hundred meters of small roads to go. Although the rural transformation in recent years is about the roads of every family, but for various reasons, at the beginning, the cement road will pass in front of the two families. Cutting down a few trees was not agreed upon and declared premature death.

In recent years, the two families have agreed, but due to lost time, this section of the road has become far away. Finally, after several efforts, a small road about one meter wide was built.

In this regard, not only grandpa is also very happy, at least there is no need to walk on muddy and slippery roads in rainy days.

Dragging luggage, more than a little excited.

He didn't go home for more than half a year, he couldn't wait, he just didn't know how his grandparents would react?I don't know if they will be angry when they hear that they are going home to become hermits...

"Forget it, let's not talk about it!"

Not only did he follow his heart decisively, he planned to find a random reason to prevaricate it, and then talk about it later if he can't hide it.

The idea is good!
"Ding! Release the task:
The name of the hermit: Please spread your name as a hermit (at least ten people know it, be sure to face to face)
Task Reward: A Plaque of Yinlu (as if someone graffitied it)"

……

Not only do they have no words to say about this system, almost all the young people in the village go out to work, almost all the children of this generation have grown up, and you can count the remaining old people in the whole village on your fingers.

And the task was almost to say to him:

"Come, come, let the whole village know that it's not just going back to the hometown to herd cattle!"

Old people don't know what a hermit is. When you go back to your hometown, you are nothing more than farming and herding cattle, and there is more than a hunch that you will really be able to farm and herd cattle.

"Forget it, let's go home first!"

Not only dragging his luggage, he walked slowly home, but before he got close, there were already bursts of dog barking.

Then I saw two familiar figures, no, three familiar figures, and another little guy ran out of the room, holding a bowl of rice.

Before He could speak, a certain little guy ran over bouncing around.

"Brother, why are you back!"

This is his younger sister, He Yan, who is 12 years younger than him. She is just ten years old this year and is still in the fifth grade of elementary school.

"What? Brother can't come back? What about eating? Is there a share for Brother?"

Facing He Zhi's four consecutive questions, He Yan had no intention of answering, but just hugged him without saying a word, and then let go after a while, and just said:
"Brother, did you buy me a present?"

……

"Remember this? Didn't you just promise to buy it for you when your final grades come out? How did you do in the exam?"

Actually, this time he came back and bought a gift, just wanted to tease her. In the past two years, my sister has become less and less afraid of him, and always sings against him, making him lose his majesty as a brother.

Seeing his elder brother's smug smile, He Yan expressed that he didn't want to talk, but just stared at him helplessly.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like this, I bought you a present, and I'll give it to you later."

What I fear most is that she doesn't say anything and looks at him pitifully.

"Hmm!"

Someone has declared victory.

From the very beginning, the two old men at the door watched the two brothers and sisters fight, and couldn't help calling him to put down his luggage and enter the house quickly.

As soon as she entered the house, the grandma kept asking about his health. He hadn't seen his grandson for more than half a year. Grandpa seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he stopped talking. He just nodded and went to the kitchen to bring out another bowl of rice.

"eat first……"

Not only was he hungry since he hadn't eaten early in the morning, he took the bowl and sat down at the dining table to eat happily.

What to eat in the countryside. In July, the most common ones in my hometown are green peppers, pumpkins, winter melons, cucumbers and the like.

So on the dinner table is a fried pork with green peppers and a winter melon soup, and the rice is pumpkin rice.

Don't think that there are few dishes, both of which are extra-large portions. My family likes to fry one pot at a time. One is because there are too many to eat, and the other is because the old family uses a big iron pot, and the small portion is not enough to watch.

"There's not enough in the pot, eat more."

Seeing her grandson gobbling it up, grandma knew that she was starving, so she hurriedly greeted her and went to shovel another bowl, the pot in her hometown would never be short of food!
After eating three big bowls of this meal, my stomach was full, and finally I lay down on my grandpa's reclining chair very satisfied. Since he was a child, he liked to grab the reclining chair with his grandpa, and lie down on it after eating a full meal. This kind of life is simply unnecessary so beautiful.

"Ding! Release the task:
Your own recliner: You will need your own recliner (please make your own)

Task Reward: Junior Carpenter"

Looking at the task that popped up suddenly, he just browsed it for a while and then left it behind. He really couldn't finish this task for a while, not to mention that he didn't know carpentry at all. Even if he could, he didn't have any tools to make it at home.

After taking a nap on the recliner, I simply slipped into the room that grandma had just tidied up, planning to take a nap. After a long journey, I felt a little sleepy after just relaxing like this.

Not only did he sleep until it was getting dark, but he was woken up by his younger sister He Yan, who had already prepared dinner.

It's not just that the three meals in my hometown are rather strange. People here usually have porridge for breakfast, dry rice at noon, and noodles at night, which is almost unshakable.

Today, because he went home, because he didn't like noodles very much when he was young, his grandparents cooked porridge and fried two side dishes to take care of his appetite.

In fact, it’s not that he hates noodles. It’s that noodles cooked in his hometown are often just a bowl of white noodles, with almost no ingredients, just oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and a large bowl of at least three liang of standard outside.

At the dinner table, Grandpa directly asked him how many days he would be back, and he simply said that he didn't plan to leave in a short time.

Grandpa just nodded and told him that he knew what he knew.

The two old men knew that their grandson was not working well outside recently. Although they were a little worried, they didn't force him to do anything.

In the end, I told them more than I had won the lottery, hoping to make them feel at ease, saying that coming back this time is also work.

In fact, he had already made plans before he came back. It can be seen that although the system is weak, it is still a system after all. When he comes back, he can do video work and so on. Even if it doesn't work well, it can dispel the concerns of his family.

Listening to the grandson's explanation, although the two old people didn't understand it, they also understood that there was more than a plan and a plan, so they didn't say anything more, after all, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

And He Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that a new tomorrow was waiting for him.
