The name of the village Shibawa comes from its terrain, nine bends and eighteen bends, the terrain on the mountain is rugged, and the road up and down the mountain has many sharp turns. One side of the road is close to the mountain, and the other half is often a gully and a cliff.When we arrived, several people in the car lamented the magic of nature and the stubbornness of the locals.

After staying here, I discovered that the scenery and life reflected different angles.

The village of Shibawa is not big, and there are dozens of households on the front and back slopes, up and down the slopes. Almost every household has some relatives, and they meet with grandparents, uncles and aunts.

The girl Xu Xiaodi chose was Gu Xingxing. When Xu Xiaodi asked, she found out that this dark-skinned, mature and sensible girl was only ten years old and in the third grade of elementary school.

The two discussed it on the way, and Xu Xiaodi made dinner and inspected the goods when they went back in the evening.

On the way, Xu Xiaoyan asked about the situation of the little girl's house, but when she actually entered the door and actually saw it, she still felt a shock in her heart.

It can be seen that the house has just been renovated, and there are still old bricks and tiles piled up in the yard. A large apricot tree has lost most of its leaves. There are books, paper and pens on the stones under the tree, and a handful of piled leaves .The owner of the book is a seven or eight-year-old boy, who ran over happily shouting.

"Sister!"

Gu Xingxing gave the puppy doll in her hand to her younger brother, turned her head and introduced to Xu Xiaoyan, "This is my younger brother, his name is Gu Yuan."

Gu Yuan was a little shy, so he hid behind Gu Xingxing and peeked, without saying a word.

Xu Xiaodi felt a little sour in his heart, "Is there no adult in your family?"

Gu Xingxing shook her head halfway, then said: "Yes, my grandma is at home, she is going to collect firewood, let me help you put things in first, we still have a bed at home, and I have dried the quilt. "

Xu Xiaodi suddenly felt that he had caused great trouble for others, how dare he let the little girl do it, and immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll do it! You two go do your homework, and I will cook!"

Gu Xingxing gave 100% trust to this good-looking big sister, "The vegetables and rice noodles are in that room, I will pick up grandma."

Gu Yuan also wanted to follow, but Gu Xingxing pressed him into the room, turned on the lights and asked him to do his homework, and he was not allowed to eat at night until he finished his homework.

He was only in his teens, and he looked like a little patriarch.

Xu Xiaoyan sent Gu Xingxing out with a smile on his face, then rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen. Once he uttered bold words, he couldn't take them back. Xu Xiaoxiao squatted next to the pot facing a pile of firewood, helpless.

After An Rong settled down, he took the little boy out for a walk around, it was already dark, when they came out, the hostess in the house told them not to go out for too long, and come back early for dinner.

As soon as he went out, An Rong saw a puff of white smoke coming out of a certain house.

The child pointed to the smoke and shouted, "Gu Yuan's house is on fire!"

An Rong picked him up with one hand and carried him on his back, and ran over there. She remembered that Xu Xiaoyan seemed to be there.

Kishi Rong sprinted over a hundred meters, put the child in the yard, bent down and rushed into the smoking house...

Then, he met Xu Xiaodi who was choking with tears.

Xu Xiaodi: ...

Xu Xiaodi suddenly coughed worse.

Really, I have never been so embarrassed in my life.

The more she coughed, the more she coughed, the more she coughed, the more she coughed, Xu Xiaoyan hunched her back, and wanted to maintain her image, she stretched out her hand and pushed her face, "You, what are you doing here, cough cough, it will be fine soon... cough cough."

The filming director next to him, a thick-backed man, was so choked with tears that he just stood beside him and continued filming.

An Rong didn't know what to say, so he squatted down and dragged out the hay under the stove, surrounded by thick smoke, and ran over it several times with his feet, stamping out all the sparks.

The thick smoke in the house had no source and gradually began to dissipate.

An Rong turned around and pushed Xu Xiaoxiao out, helplessly discouraged, "Wait a minute."

Xu Xiaodi's face was full of ashes and tears, a little embarrassed.

An Rong took out a wet towel from his pocket and handed it to her, "The grass is a bit wet and hasn't burned, so don't put so much in it at a time, it won't ventilate if it's full, you can't blow it with your mouth."

Xu Xiaodi wiped her face in embarrassment, "I haven't had a burn."

The smoke in the room was still thick, Kishi Rong glanced at it and said, "Wait for me."

She turned around and hugged the child leading the way in her arms again, and strode away without looking back.

Gu Yuan looked up at Xu Xiaodi, with a little fear in his eyes, "Did you burn the house down?"

"No, no, no." Xu Xiaodi shook his head immediately, "It's just that the fire didn't burn, and the smoke came out."

The child didn't believe it, so he ran in and took a look, and he was relieved to see that the house was intact, so he stood on the threshold and held the door frame, looked at Xu Xiaodi and said, "Aren't you good at cooking?"

Xu Xiaodi shook her head in embarrassment, and emphasized: "I don't know how to light this kind of fire."

She would still have an open fire.

Gu Yuan reached in with his hand, pulled the light cord, and with a click, the room immediately emitted yellow light, and there was a strange humming sound from somewhere in the yard, Xu Xiaoyan took a step forward, looking around vigilantly .

But it was almost late autumn, and when it was dark, there was no light at all. In the yard, there was only a little bit of light projected by the dim light from the kitchen, which fell enough on Xu Xiaodi. She looked around, but there was nothing. see.

When the wind picked up, it felt like the amplified sound of the wind was everywhere.

Seeing that she was taken aback, Gu Yuan was also a little stunned. He looked at Xu Xiaodi in front of him timidly, and said, "I'll light the fire, and you cook. Grandma will be angry when she comes back and doesn't cook."

How dare Xu Xiaoyan let such a young child light a fire, she quickly waved her hand to refuse, "How can I let you light a fire, I can do it."

Just for a while, a person suddenly came in at the door, using the light on his mobile phone to illuminate the road under his feet, and hurried to Xu Xiaoxiao's side, "Let me come."

Xu Xiaodi didn't expect her to come so soon, the relationship between the two is awkward after all.

An Rong didn't seem to intend to ask Xu Xiaodi's consent, as soon as he finished speaking, he entered the room and knocked down the child standing on the threshold.

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed in, squatting on the side to watch Anrong skillfully light the fire, add water, and stir the batter, his movements are not unfamiliar at all.

"How about you?" Xu Xiaoyan sat on the small stool next to him, unable to put his hand in, so he just chatted with An Rong.It was the first time she was in such a strange environment, and she had never seen almost everything.

An Rong grabbed a handful of vegetables on the ground next to her and handed them to her. While choosing, she said: "Very good, three children and one mother. You told other children that you can cook, and you did a good job. I'm also a little curious ,what will you do?"

"Uh……"

Xu Xiaodi was at a loss for words for a moment.

She had seen it a long time ago. In the kitchen, there are only simple rice noodles and vegetables grown by herself, radish, cabbage, lettuce leaves, and a few green onions.

Almost perfectly avoiding the menu she specializes in.

"Can you steam steamed buns or pancakes?"

Xu Xiaoyan shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm fine with an electric baking pan and an oven."

"It's too late today, I'll teach you tomorrow." An Rong took the food from Xu Xiaodi's hand, "It's estimated that I will have to do a lot of work from tomorrow, and I can't do without staple food."

Xu Xiaoyan watched Anrong set firewood again, got up and chopped vegetables and sprinkled them into the pot.

"What are you doing this for?"

Xu Xiaodi stood beside him curiously.

An Rong sprinkled salt, pushed it a few times with a spoon, and said, "Salty noodle soup."

Xu Xiaodi nodded and wrote down the steps.

"When burning a fire, you can't put too much firewood at one time, or it will be difficult at the beginning, and the fire will be too hot and easy to burn. If you can't control it, put less firewood at a time."

Standing aside, Xu Xiaoyan watched Anrong skillfully hold the soup in a basin, his mind moved slightly, and he asked, "You look very skilled, have you ever done it before?"

An Rong poured the soup into a basin, cleaned the pot again, and prepared to stir-fry vegetables. He took the time to answer, turned to look at Xu Xiaodi and said, "Yes, but it was a long time ago, and I thought I forgot."

But as expected, she had such a deep muscle memory that she couldn't even imagine it, but she still remembered it.

The barrage filled the screen with [Idol Metamorphosis] [Xu Xiaodi is too difficult] [It's still true love, I ran to help Xiaoxiao cook without eating], suddenly the style of the painting changed, and there were question marks.

Xu Xiaodi was more surprised than the fans. She only thought that An Rong's family conditions were not good, but she never thought it would be this bad.

An Rong was stirring the cabbage in the pot, and when he turned his head to pick up the vinegar, he met Xu Xiaodi's eyes, and couldn't laugh or cry, "No, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Xiaodi blinked.

"I lived at my grandmother's house when I was a child, and they used this kind of pot table there before, and it's actually not difficult."

Kishi Rong smiled lightly and did not mention it in detail.

Xu Xiaodi kept looking at her, the fire in the stove gradually weakened, only one piece of firewood was still burning, suddenly there was a bang, a small explosion sound scared Xu Xiaodi immediately looked away, and squatted down to look curiously.

"It's okay." Anrong fried a vinegared cabbage, took out a piece of wood from the stove, pressed it into the ashes underneath, and said with a smile, "It's the tung branch that exploded."

Xu Xiaodi learned a lot and couldn't bear it.

After the meal was ready, Gu Xingxing hadn't come back yet. Xu Xiaoyan was a little worried and wanted to go out to find someone, but she was also worried that it would not be safe to leave Gu Yuan alone at home. When the two were discussing how to go out to find someone, Gu Xingxing came back , followed by an old man who faltered.

Gu Xingxing was carrying a large bundle of branches that could envelop her whole body, both thick and thin, pressing her immature shoulders forward.

Xu Xiaoyan immediately rushed up to help take it off and put it aside, then looked sideways at Anrong, her eyes were instantly warm.

An Rong got up and greeted people and was about to leave, but was forced to stay by the enthusiastic grandmother. An Rong said that he had already eaten, but he didn't make it, so he stayed and drank a bowl of soup.

When we chatted during dinner, I realized that when Gu Xingxing said that this grandma was her grandma, she meant that this was her grandpa's mother. After two generations, Gu Xingxing's grandparents passed away, and her parents were working outside. I only came back for a few days during the Chinese New Year.

Both of them didn't quite understand what the old grandma said, and Gu Xingxing had to translate the whole process, but they could communicate without barriers.

"Grandma is [-] this year, and she will take care of me and Xiaoyuan at our house." Gu Xingxing's precocious face showed a little longing for the relationship, and she shared her dream with the person she just met today, "It's not easy to go to school while working outside. It still costs money. My dad said that in a few years, we can go to Shanxia County to buy a house, and we can move to the county.”

She looked at her younger brother who was eating snoringly, and whispered to Xu Xiaodi, "I also save money myself."

Xu Xiaoyan smiled and helped her hide this secret, and asked, "How much have you saved?"

The girl blinked ghostly, "I won't tell you."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to feel embarrassed for her concealment, and blushed slowly.

Xu Xiaodi pretended not to see, and praised her in a low voice with a smile.

Kishi sat aside, listening silently.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at her sideways, and stretched out his hand from under the slab table, holding the hand on Anrong's knee, but Anrong didn't take it away, nor resisted.
