Green pines and verdant cypresses stand on both sides of the road, whistling and jubilant, and leave in a hurry.The roadside is full of small white and pink wild flowers, fluttering among the weeds and under the roots of trees.A gust of wind blew by, taking away the wandering petals.

The scenery along the way is all the way back.

Zhuang Ran and Li Xian opened the rear window, accompanied by Bob Dylan's broken but soul-soothing voice, the scenery outside the window also added a bit of wildness that no one can tame.

Gu Shaozhang lowered the volume of the music, and tapped his hands following the rhythm.Looking at the end point on the navigation that is getting closer and closer, you will arrive there after crossing a bridge. It is not very far from the city. If Tao Ran hadn't mentioned it, it would be hard to imagine that there is such a good place beside the downtown.

Li Xian took out the ointment from his backpack, pulled Zhuang Ran's wrist, and applied it thinly. This time, he didn't wrap it with gauze, but waited for the ointment to be absorbed, and then wiped it off with a tissue.

Zhuang Ran looked down at the tissue on his wrist, and instantly realized what the wet tissue Uncle Gu gave him in the morning was meant for him to wipe the ointment on his wrist!So the one with a guilty conscience is the thief himself!What a gorgeous scene of shame!

When I got off the bridge, the intersection was full of cars, so I couldn't pass for half an hour, I turned off the engine, parked the car, put my arm on the window, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.When he turned around and asked the two if they wanted one, Gu Shaozhang smelled the familiar smell of medicine and asked, "Swollen again?"

Zhuang Ran took the cigarette and shook it at Li Xian. Li Xian shook his head, took out the gum and chewed it, Zhuang Ran took out a cigarette, lit it, and his smoking posture was the same as Gu Shaozhang. "No, it's still red. It's gone for a long time. It will disappear almost tomorrow. Li Xian is afraid that I won't be able to use it when I have fun. Uncle Gu, should we go to the farmhouse?"

Gu Shaozhang nodded, "Have you two been here before?"

Zhuang Ran shrugged his shoulders. He had never been here before. Looking at the compound surrounded by the mountain, he reckoned that it should be good. After all, there are quite a lot of people here.

"Of course..." Gu Shaozhang bit his cigarette and looked at the two people in the car in front, "Your father and his colleagues introduced it, and they said it was good."

Li Xian lowered his head and fiddled with his phone. When he heard that Zhuang Ran's name was upgraded from Gu Shaozhang to Ran Ran, he mistyped two words on his hand. The name was so intimate. Tsk, every time my mother called Zhuang Ran that way. , I didn't have any reaction, and it really was a high-yielding vinegar in the eyes of a rival.

In fact, Li Xian misunderstood him this time, and the sentence Gu Shaozhang blurted out was not Zhuang Ran, but Tao Ran.

"Uncle Gu, is there a cricket here? Later you will weave the cages we used to use when we were young!" Zhuang Ran looked excited, "Li Xian, let me tell you that the cages made by Uncle Gu are better than those sold outside. It’s much better, it’s the spiral one, you’ve never seen it before! It’s made of soybean stalks, it’s so amazing!”

"Soybean stalks? Is it the leaf stalks of the soybean milk crops we usually drink? Then they can also be used as cricket cages?" Li Xian looked in disbelief.

"Oh, my lovely boyfriend is pitiful, you don't know much about grains." Zhuang Ran stretched out his hands to pinch Li Xian's face, and said with a smile.

"Xiao Ran, don't talk about Xiao Xian, you didn't know each other before, and when you took you to the rice field, you had to say that the rice planted in the house was millet, so the old man who planted the rice was angry, and he helped the old woman to weed the grass. The ones that were pulled out were all corn seedlings, which was distressing to the old lady, and she told me about it behind her back for several days." Gu Shaozhang really couldn't stand the fifty steps and laughed at the hundred steps. When he and his grandfather went back to their hometown, they brought the troublesome little guy with them every time. .

"Uncle Gu, why are you turning your elbow away? Who is your nephew?" Zhuang Ran pretended to be angry and clicked his tongue.The point is that this matter is too far off the table. In fact, the story has a follow-up development, but Uncle Gu didn't know that what the old lady felt distressed at the time was not the few seedlings that were pulled out, but that she secretly picked up the seedlings that were pulled out while others were not paying attention. After planting it back, the old lady didn't notice it at the time, and afterward, seeing that most of the seedlings were dead, she was so distressed.

Li Xian didn't expect that Zhuang Ran, who was as obedient as a ball when he was a child, could do such a thing. Sure enough, all the brats in the world have the same virtue, and they were quite annoying when they were young.

The long and long convoy finally moved into the parking lot from the road, and the parking space was very tight.

Zhuang Ran stared at the BMW in front of him for a long time. The girl in the car was probably a novice. It had been parked for almost 10 minutes, and half of the car was still occupying more than half of the parking space next to it. Zhuang Ran sighed and rushed to the people in the car. Shouted: "Sister, you have been struggling with this for half an hour, why don't you pour it out first, we stop, and I will give you one less option, you can try it later?"

The BMW girl got out of the car, slammed the door hard, and looked at why her car couldn't park. The lines in the parking lot were all crooked, "Can you fucking blame me?" , which idiot draws the line so crookedly, how can I stop."

Zhuang Ran was even more speechless when he saw the woman who was about to breathe fire. The parking lines were all horizontal and vertical. If he couldn't do it, he couldn't seriously review it.

The car behind also kept honking, desperately urging.

"I'm trying my best to stop, what the hell are you urging, fuck, idiot." The BMW girl didn't know whether the last one was talking about herself or someone else.

Seeing the woman who was about to cry, Zhuang Ran had no choice but to get out of the car and walked to the front, "Come down, I'll help you."

The BMW woman stepped on a pair of flat red sneakers and carried a shoulder bag. She got out of the car and stood beside Gu Shaozhang's car. After watching Zhuang Ran for a minute, she reversed the car and stopped in one step. Keep the Chu River Han boundary clear with the parking line. If there is a ruler, the energy will come out, and the distance between each wheel and the line will be the same.

Zhuang Ran pulled out the car key and handed it to the sister who was standing beside Uncle Gu's car, "How did you get your driver's license, sister."

The BMW girl put her hands together, thanked Xie Zhuangran, and said embarrassingly: "I just don't park very well. I usually have a driver at home. When I go out to play with friends, I drive out by myself." A few older sisters who came up and drove the same car were probably of the same standard. Surprisingly, other people's cars parked quite well.

"Huh? Such a coincidence, handsome guy?" BMW Girl said to Zhuang Ran's back.

Li Xian turned around and glanced at Gu Shaozhang, thinking that this was his old acquaintance, but Zhuang Ran didn't expect this sister to know Uncle Gu.

Gu Shaozhang didn't even give him a look, and walked directly towards Zhuang Zhe and Tao Ran, but the BMW girl's eyes still stayed on them.Fuck, what's the situation, Zhuang Ran raised his head and looked at Li Xian beside him.

"I'm sorry, you may have identified the wrong person, I don't know you." Li Xian looked at the woman in front of him and confirmed again that he absolutely did not know you.

"Little handsome guy, you have such a bad memory. The last time I crashed, my car accidentally ran into it." The BMW girl tried to help Li Xian recall the scene at that time, and she felt that the little handsome guy would definitely remember.

Li Xian was stunned, no wonder he felt inexplicably unhappy looking at this car.Zhuang Ran also looked at the sister in front of him, it turned out that this was the one who dumped Li Graphics card, don't think about the car crash at that time, as long as the parking skills can know what happened to the car crash at that time.I just helped to park the car, fuck, meet on a narrow road, hero.

"Oh, let's go, boyfriend, uncles are waiting." Li Xian didn't want to pay attention to such a boring encounter, and didn't want to respond to this conversation without any real content.

Zhuang Ran looked back at the BMW woman's face that had been slapped with collagen, and deliberately took Li Xian's hand to leave, tsk, there was a feeling of revenge for the enemy.

An insignificant episode did not affect Zhuang Ran and Li Xian's mood at all.

The yard of the farmhouse is very large. There are rows of wooden swings at the entrance, and there are cobbled fork roads leading to all directions. Seasonal vegetables and fruits are planted in the gardens beside the road and in the distance.

From a distance, you can see groups of people holding wicker baskets and picking fresh cucumbers and eggplants in the nearby garden. Children are excitedly playing hide-and-seek among the fields. .

The houses in the courtyard are all thatched cottages, and the outer walls are also made of mud-like tiles. There are no other farmyards with uniformly woven garlic and dried corn, but instead, there are Spring Festival couplets that have been faded by the wind and sun.

The boss is a middle-aged uncle in his 40s. Although he is about the same age as his fathers, he doesn’t know whether it’s due to lack of maintenance or he doesn’t care at all. The hard work has kept the uncle's figure in shape, dimples seem to be chiseled on his face, and his bright eyes are eye-catching.

"Teacher Tao is here. My brother told me that you are coming today. Please come to the room." The man had a simple and honest smile on his face, and the dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth. When he smiled, the creases at the corners of his eyes became more rustic.

"Old Zhao, you are getting better and better. Where are the sister-in-law and the child?" Tao Ran greeted the man familiarly, then slapped the man on the shoulder, looked around and asked.

This farmyard was run by Lao Zhao alone. It has been more than ten years. Lao Zhao is the brother of Tao Ran's colleague.

"The couple took the guests to the greenhouse in the back mountain to pick mushrooms. Come on, let's rest first. I'll ask the waiter to bring two pots of watermelons." The boss got up and asked the waiter to pick the two largest watermelons and bring them over.

"Old Zhao, take a break and let the children choose by themselves. They also want to have fun." Tao Ran turned around and waved to his son and Li Xian.

The two went out as if they had received the imperial decree, and the adults in the room were chatting familiarly.

"Son, wait for us." Ms. Chen Shuzhen came out of the house wearing a white hat, followed by Uncle Shen and Uncle Gu.

"Mom, Uncle Shen, it's a good thing you're here. How can I pick out watermelons and melons so they're sweet? You said that if we pick for a long time, we'll take a basket home and open it." Zhuang Ran gestured.

Li Xian took over the conversation, "Oh, my God! They're all raw!"

The three of them were overjoyed by being teased by the two children in front of them. Gu Shaozhang didn't expect that Li Xian, who usually doesn't talk much, had this side, so he laughed out loud.

"That's right, that's why I decided to divide the labor and cooperate. I'll leave this arduous task to the beautiful woman and Uncle Shen!" Zhuang Ran took her boyfriend with his left hand and Uncle Gu with his right hand, and walked towards the house.

Slices of yellowish soybeans stand upright in the field one after another.

"It's a bit late at this time, there are green stems earlier, let's go, Xiaoran, you can use other braids." Gu Shaozhang also forgot that the soybeans at this time are almost ripe, and the green leaves have already fallen off Well, where else can I weave a cage by myself?

Zhuang Ran felt a little regretful, but when he thought that there was a substitute, he was relieved, "Tsk, then go to the pond to find straw."

The pond is next to the watermelon field, very close, and there are quite a lot of people fishing here.From afar, Zhuang Ran saw his mother and Uncle Shen holding cut watermelons.

"Mom, hurry up and give us some, I'm dying of thirst." Zhuang Ran took the basket, ran over to her boyfriend and Uncle Gu, and finally took a piece for himself. The watermelon is not the kind of seedless watermelon on the market. It is the original one with seeds, which is very fresh and sweet, which is different from the one with cyclamate.

"Are these watermelon seeds directly on the ground?" Li Xian asked after taking a bite.

"Oh, my silly boy, this is all on the edge of the field, just on the land, maybe a watermelon will grow in the next year." Ms. Chen Shuzhen put her waist on her waist and smiled. It was crisp applause.

The design of this farmhouse is very original. There are no exquisite water pipes, but primitive pressurized water wells. Li Xian and Zhuang Ran have never seen this kind of wells before, and they are just like the children next to them, full of curiosity.

During the conversation, the fathers also came out of the house. They got together and decided to catch a few fish first and eat stewed fish in an iron pot at noon.

The fish in the pond are not all wild, and many of them are seedlings scattered by the boss, so fishing is very easy, and you can catch them without much need for live bait.

It was the first time that Li Xian discovered that fishing could be so simple, the fishing line was shaken, and a three-scale scale was hooked on the rod, "Zhuang Ran, help me with the fish reel!"

Zhuang Ran was talking about collecting straw by the water, and planned to ask Uncle Gu to weave a cage for himself and Li Xian as a souvenir.

"Ah, here we come!" Zhuang Ran put down the straw, ran over with the fish basket, tripped over the rope tied to the river, and threw the fish basket at Li Xian's feet.

Li Xian was turning around to take the fish off, but the fish struggled so hard that it swung its tail over Zhuang Ran's face, fuck it, so it's really bad luck!

"Ah~~~ Fuck me, your uncle, Li Xian, quickly take it away! Take it away!" Zhuang Ran got up and ran towards his father who was closest to him.

Li Xian also wanted to tease Zhuang Ran, he loves eating three scales so much, why is he so afraid of this.Li Xian held the fish in both hands, chased Zhuang Ran, surrounded Zhuang Zhe, chased each other, and Zhuang Ran almost said hello to the eighteen generations of Li Xian's ancestors.Zhuang Zhe looked at the two children and smiled at Tao Ran beside him.

Looking at this scene, Chen Shuzhen lay on her back directly on the ground, her white sportswear was covered with mud, but it didn't stop her from running towards the road of laughing crazy.

Gu Shaozhang took off the grass carp in his hand, put it in the fish basket, closed the rod, and sat beside Zhuang Zhe. "Xiao Ran, why are you so afraid of fish all of a sudden?"

Tao Ran also took up the thread, and let go of what fell down, it was too small.Arm around Zhuang Zhe's leg, picked up Gu Shaozhang's fish basket, saw that it was a grass carp, glanced at his mouth, "You catch all Zhuang Zhe's favorite food, brotherly love."

Zhuang Zhe reached out his hand to stop the two children who were sweating profusely from running, and put the fish in Li Xian's hand in the fish basket, "Let Xiao Ran tell you by herself."

Li Xian also sat next to Uncle Gu, waiting for Zhuang Ran's explanation.

"Why do you always stare at me alone, tsk, I'm under pressure all the time." Zhuang Ran picked up the straw, put it in his mouth, put his hand on Li Xian's shoulder, and sighed.

"Actually, that's right. We were very greedy for fish for a while, and my mother must know." Zhuang Ran looked at Ms. Chen Shuzhen and said.

The faceless Ms. Chen took the opportunity to nod.

"Then one time, my neighbor's little brother and I were selling fish, and we went to fish in their fish tanks, which were the fish tanks in supermarkets, but their ones were not transparent, but the ones made of iron. I I stretched out my hand to fish in the water, but his father put a lot of loaches in the fish tank! I don’t know, but when I stretched out my hand, I felt a bunch of slippery things spinning around my hand! Then my fingers were inexplicably caught by the fish. I took a bite, and it didn't scare me to tears." When Zhuang Ran said this, he slowed down, and the scene at that time could still be recalled in his mind, and the cold and squishy feeling seemed to climb up from the tailbone again.

Li Xian hugged Zhuang Ran and patted his boyfriend on the back.

"Actually, you cried at that time, and then you went home and had a fever for a week, which didn't scare us to death." Tao Ran said. False, staying with his son, he was discharged from the hospital, his son was alive and well, and Zhuang Zhe lost a lot of weight.

"But this didn't stop you from eating fish. We also think it's amazing, and where you eat fish, you can't tell that you are afraid of fish." Tao Ran stood up, patted the dirt on his pants, and stretched his waist .

Zhuang Ran didn't understand why he still had the courage to eat fish.

Gu Shaozhang worked so hard to weave two small pocket cages and put them in Zhuang Ran's hands.

Li Xian also saw the two cages in Zhuang Ran's hands, spiraling up, the straw stems were arranged densely and neatly, and there were double rows of knots with unknown names on the spirals, which were very delicate.

"Thank you uncle." Li Xian picked up the small cage and thanked him sincerely.

Gu Shaozhang patted Li Xian's head, stood up, and moved his shoulders.

Seeing the communication between Li Xian and Uncle Gu, Zhuang Ran's heart suddenly cleared up, and his boyfriend seemed to be normal too.

It was almost noon, and a few people packed up their things and returned to the thatched hut. The living room was full of guests waiting for dinner. There was no menu in this farmhouse, and the back kitchen would make whatever the guests picked themselves.

Zhuang Ran thought that they could only eat all kinds of fish on the table, pressure cooker, steamed, braised, fried...

But when more than [-] dishes were served on the table, the corners of Zhuang Ran's mouth reached the back of his head, and instead of all kinds of monotonous fish, there were only two fish dishes, one in a pressure pot and the other in braised sauce.The rest are farm dishes, and there are silkworm chrysalis and fried grasshoppers!

Li Xian was also shocked!Why is there a dish of fried grasshoppers!This is the favorite of his brother and father, and he has never dared to speak!

But watching Zhuang Ran put chopsticks into the bowl with chopsticks, Li Xian swallowed.

"Godson, don't you want to try it? It's delicious." Ms. Chen Shuzhen asked across the table.

Zhuang Ran picked one up for Li Xian, put his hand under the table, patted his boyfriend's leg, and asked him to taste it. "It's especially crispy when it's fried without oil!"

Li Xian picked up the grasshopper in the bowl, looked at it for a long time, and thought about where to eat it. He moved it to his mouth and bit a leg. It had no special taste, but he couldn't eat it.

Zhuang Ran looked at his boyfriend as if he was facing a formidable enemy, held Li Xian's hand, twirled his chopsticks, and picked up the grasshopper.He returned a piece of mussel meat to Li Xian. "Eat this, it's stewed in an iron pot, it's very delicious."

"Well, the main reason is that I am more like my mother, and I can't accept the shape of the whole grasshopper. My father and my brother like to eat it." Li Xian also stretched his left hand under the table and shook his boyfriend's fingers.

"Principal Li also likes to eat? Let's order another one later and take it home. The chef's cooking here is delicious, and it can still be crispy when you go home with the microwave." Ms. Chen Shuzhen said.

"Okay, mom. I'll ask for more later, and I'll bring some back to our dormitory when I go back." Zhuang Ran agreed to help Li Xian.

If saying thank you is a bit off-putting, Li Xian nodded.Thinking about driving back in the afternoon to take it back to my dad and brother.

"Uncle Gu, try this, the ribs are better than my little dad's." Zhuang Ran picked up a piece of ribs, leaned in front of Gu Shaozhang and whispered, and glanced towards his little dad, but no one noticed.

Gu Shaozhang bit into a piece of pork ribs, it tasted really good, it seemed slightly better than Tao Ran's.She nodded at Zhuang Ran and blinked secretly.

Time is always short, and the journey back seems to be only half of the time when we came.

Li Xian picked up the fried grasshopper brought by Xiao Zhamao and returned home. Li Xing, who was bored at home, looked at the fried grasshopper brought back by his brother, and instantly felt that his life was satisfied.

"Ancestor, I found out. Zhuang Ran's house is really amazing. He knows all about delicious food and fun. Send me the address, and I will bring my parents there next week." Li Xing used the microwave oven After heating for 1 minute, I reached out and grabbed one, chewing it with relish.

"Brother, if you can't find a girlfriend, why don't you find a boyfriend?" Sitting at the dinner table, Li Xian suggested to his brother very unreliably.

"No, you are enough, I still have to spread my branches and leaves. Hey, there is a long way to go, ancestor!" Li Xing took a photo and sent it to his group of old friends:

Did you see it, my brother brought it back!

The friends in the group were blown away. Li Xing hadn't shown off his brother for a long time, and they were almost not used to it. This sudden picture aroused a circle of public outrage.

Here, Zhuang Ran was afraid that the things would not be fresh, so he took Uncle Gu's car back to school directly, and after sending them upstairs, he handed over Monday's homework to his roommate, and explained that he would not have the only class tomorrow, and he would come back on Tuesday. When he came back, a few people in the dormitory waved his hands to let him go away at ease, saying that they had already found an excuse, that the male god would go out to play, and remember to bring food, they were satisfied.

"Uncle Gu, let's go. I have a class tomorrow and skip it, but I have finished my homework. I will go to your house to help you clean up the house, but I will go to another place first." Zhuang Ran sat in the vice chair The driver raised his left hand and said with a smile.

Gu Shaozhang rubbed Zhuang Ran's head, sure enough, he has the same temper as Tao Ran, no one can change the decision.

It was still the aunt's flower shop, the boss didn't play the game this time, and just sat in front of the cash register.

"Why didn't you play the game?" Zhuang Ran walked over and knocked on the table and asked.

The little boss tilted his head and didn't see another familiar figure, "Where's your boyfriend?"

"He's back home. I want to buy flowers for one of my uncles, who is as important as my father." Zhuang Ran said lying on the table.

"Oh, I can't pass the checkpoint again, I'm waiting for you two to rescue me." The little boss quickly picked out sunflowers and some sword leaves, wrapped them up and stuffed them into Zhuang Ran's arms.

"Shall I help you?" Zhuang Ran asked after scanning the QR code while holding flowers.

The little boss shook his head, "No, wait for your boyfriend to come next time, professional leveling."

"Success, we will come over together next week."

Zhuang Ran got into the car, "Uncle Gu, welcome back again, and thank you for going to Xinjiang to help me see my dad!"

It was not the first time for Gu Shaozhang to receive flowers. When he was on a business trip, he received flowers, but he never felt such a strange feeling. He knew the flower language of sunflowers and father's love like a mountain.How can this child be so heart-warming.

"Thank you, I like it very much. You can drive today. I have to hold this flower myself." Gu Shaozhang got out of the car and made a detour to the co-pilot, and Zhuang Ran moved directly from inside.

"Uncle Gu, my mother is about to get a license with Uncle Shen, when will you bring me an uncle?" Zhuang Ran asked while holding the steering wheel with one hand.

"Watch the road." Gu Shaozhang pushed Zhuang Ran's face, "Let it be."

"Tsk, you said you wanted to fulfill me back then, so it's different now." Zhuang Ran recalled the scene when he was 14 years old.

Gu Shaozhang reached out and took a sunflower in his hand, pulled it out, touched the leaves, looked out the window, and said: "Back then..."

Zhuang Ran didn't hear the rest of Uncle Gu's words clearly. He didn't know if it was because the wind outside the window was too loud, or the speaker's voice was too low.

"What?" Zhuang Ran asked again.

Gu Shaozhang turned his head, glanced at Zhuang Ran who had grown up, and twitched his lips, "Why back then, or now, why don't you try again?"

The straight-moving car suddenly changed into an S shape. Zhuang Ran pulled the car aside and looked at Uncle Gu in surprise.

Holding flowers, Gu Shaozhang approached, and stopped only an inch away from Zhuang Ran, "Xiao Ran, you broke the rules." After speaking, he sat back on the co-pilot.

Zhuang Ran knew it was a joke, but when he said it from the serious Uncle Gu, he was still taken aback. Is it against the rules?Should I not ask, should not ask at this time, or something else.

The familiar siren sounded from his ears, and Zhuang Ran patted his head.

Pressing down on the window of the car startled the traffic policeman on the side. Just as he was about to take out the ticket and paste it, the quota for this month was over, and he didn't expect there to be anyone else. "There is someone in the car, you can't stop here, don't you see it!"

"I'm sorry, my father was feeling a little uncomfortable just now, so I will drive away immediately." Zhuang Ran apologized.

The little traffic policeman had just arrived at his post, but he knew that he could not directly post the ticket in this situation. He sighed in his heart and looked at the car going away.

"Son, stop thinking about it and drive hard!" Gu Shaozhang held flowers and said with a suppressed smile.

"Father!" The word Zhuang Ran almost came out from between his teeth. Why has Uncle Gu become so unreliable recently!

The author has something to say:

It's the end of the year, I'm very busy, I have more time today, I'll continue tomorrow
