mountain sleep

Xu Zihang reached out and handed over the bowl to take it: "I'll taste it first." He puffed his cheeks and blew, opened his mouth and pulled off the first piece.The beef has been marinated overnight, and the sweet sauce made by Aunt Lin is not greasy at all, and it is perfect with the tender meat.

Under the eyes of several people, Xu Zihang took another big bite: "It's delicious! What are you looking at me for? I'm grilling it!" Then everyone came to their senses and brought over the meat one after another. After a while, the iron net was full. Rui Ding was on the side to guide.

Xu Zihang walked up to Yao Ge, raised his hand and handed the meat skewer he took two bites to his mouth: "Try it, this one is not spicy." The meat skewer touched Yao Ge's lips, and the dark brown sauce stuck to it , warm and warm.

Yao Ge licked his lips, and took a bite of Xu Zihang's hand. Xu Zihang stared at the dimples that appeared and disappeared when he ate, and asked him expectantly if it was good.Yao Ge nodded, it was delicious, the beef was very tender, and the sweet sauce was not greasy, it was very fragrant, highlighting the tenderness of the beef.

Xu Zihang was very happy after getting his affirmation, although it had nothing to do with the skewers and him.Xu Zihang took another bite, then handed it to Yao Ge.

The second plate was robbed within two seconds after it was cooked, and the boys gnawed it all over, their mouths stuffed, and the food they baked by themselves was extraordinarily delicious.

"Do you want to play?" Xu Zihang pointed to the grill, "Maybe there is a bit of oily smoke."

Yao Ge knew what he meant because he was afraid that he would feel dirty, so he shook his head and nodded again: "Yes."

After understanding what he meant, Xu Zihang patted Peng Dong on the shoulder: "Get up, let Yao Ge play for a while." Then he greeted Lin Ruiding, "They roast so slowly, the two of us are here to make pork, which requires skill, Don't let them spoil my little piggy."

Yao Ge was sitting on a small bench. He was rarely so close to the fire. He just saw flames coming out of their fans. He was a little afraid of fire.

Xu Zihang picked up a few pieces of pork and put them on the iron net. He was about to pass the brush to Yao Ge, but he stopped and asked Lin Ruiding to hand him two tissues, which he carefully wrapped around the handle of the brush. It took two layers to pass it to Yao Ge: "It's a bit oily, it's better this way."

Yao Ge reached out to take it, and at the same time raised his eyes to meet Lin Ruiding's slightly puzzled gaze with his head tilted. He froze for a second, and tightened his fingers next to the tissue.

Seeing that Xu Zihang wanted to wrap the sauce brush with a tissue, Yao Ge pulled his clothes: "It's okay, don't wrap it, it's okay, just go back and wash your hands after eating."

Yao Ge dealt with the little embarrassment in his heart alone on this occasion where everyone was so excited.

He subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his ears, but remembered that his hands were oily, and when he put them down, he felt a little angry from frustration.He muttered in his heart annoyed, why should I feel uncomfortable, there is nothing wrong with being clean.

He felt much more comfortable thinking about it this way.

Xu Zihang didn't know anything about this, he was concentrating on dealing with the pork in his hand.The beautifully textured pork belly squeaked on the posting net, oily spots emerged little by little, and the edges of the pigskin began to roll up slightly.

Xu Zihang and Lin Ruiding cooperated tacitly, and every piece of meat was heated evenly.The unique aroma of pork penetrated into the nose, and after the gluttonous insects were hooked out, it seemed that all the food they had just eaten had been digested.

"Okay, okay, don't dip this pork in sauce, or it won't have a soul!" Xu Zihang packed a plate of meat and handed it to the few people who were staring at him eagerly, "There are quite a lot, there are more."

"Yeah!" Lin Fengqi was the first to stuff the pork into his mouth. The freshly baked pork was too hot. He opened his mouth wide to let out a sigh of relief while nodding his head and giving a thumbs up, "Delicious!"

Yao Ge also got a piece. He doesn't like to eat fatty meat very much, so he carefully bit a little bit of the edge, chewed, and found that the fat meat is not soft and greasy, but has a little toughness, and the skin is crispy and delicious , The moisture of lean meat is also just right.

Yao Ge's mouth was full of greasy food, and Xu Zihang proudly pointed his chin at him, with "Come praise me" written all over his face.

"Would you like to go to the pig farm to play later?"

As soon as Lin Ruiding finished speaking, Xu Zihang laughed exaggeratedly: "What's so interesting about a pig farm! Do you want us to spit it out!" The pig farm is smelly and dirty, pork is delicious, but pigs are nothing to look at .

"I've never seen a pig farm! Why don't we go?" Peng Dong, who was the most impatient, was curious, "I haven't seen a large herd of pigs yet."

"It's not the right time for you to come. In a few months, all the pigs in my family will have piglets. They just finished mating last month."

"Breeding?" The boys looked at each other, laughed tacitly, and pushed and shoved.

Lin Fengqi said something, which made Peng Dong yell obscenely. Yao Ge couldn't hear it clearly, but he could probably guess something. He pretended to focus on the meat on his plate, pretending that he didn't hear what they were messing around with.

Yao Ge thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect to actually go to see the pigs after eating the barbecue.

"You won't bite people?" Yao Ge was a little worried.

"Yes, he will still run after you." Xu Zihang nodded solemnly, seeing that Yao Ge's eyes were wide open and he was about to believe it, he burst out laughing, pinching Yao Ge's shoulder and shaking back and forth, "Hahahaha I lied to you How can pigs bite people! And they are all in the pigsty!"

"It's here!" Lin Ruiding gestured to invite in.

In front of them was a large factory building shaped like bread. Lin Ruiding took them to a room, saying that it was a disinfection room, and ordinary people could not get in to prevent germs from being brought into it.They first had to go through a winding passage, and then through an ultraviolet light disinfection room, where an uncle gave them some white work clothes.

"It's clean, don't be afraid." Xu Zihang whispered in his ear to comfort Yao Ge, probably seeing that Yao Ge's fingers pinching his clothes were a bit resistant.

The work clothes looked a bit big on the body. At first, they thought they were going to the pigsty to see the pigs, but they didn't expect it to be so professional.

Yao Ge followed the last one, took a breath carefully and held it, and then let it out slowly, the stench seemed to have penetrated into his nostrils.In fact, Lin Ruiding's family pays great attention to hygiene, and the pig house has to be disinfected twice a week, but there is still some unavoidable stench, which makes the children in the city pinch their noses and dare not open their mouths.

The factory building is very bright, and the pig houses are separated by iron fences. There are five piglets in each grid, and some of them lie on the hay and sleep soundly. The sunlight from the window shines in and sprinkles on several pigs.

An idiom popped up in Yao Ge's head: Time is quiet and good.

Then he was amused by himself, and the smell in the pigsty was not so unbearable.

The other people, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, grabbed the uncle who led them into the pig house and asked them about everything, how they ate, and whether the pigs would fight.

"Look at this little flower, it's very naughty, it jumps out of the pigsty every time, my dad raised the fence," Lin Ruiding pointed to a fence that suddenly grew taller and said, "It was increased to one and a half meters before , she can still jump out."

Xu Zihang pointed to Xiaohua and interjected: "Look, I'm eating vegetables!" Hearing what he said, several people gathered around to watch the small-looking pig eating vegetables.

"I didn't know that pigs eat vegetables." Yao Ge leaned close to Xu Zihang's ear and whispered his surprise to him. He always thought that pigs ate dirty leftovers.

"It's good to eat. The piglets still drink milk, and their feed is really delicious and granular!"

Yao Ge silently added in his heart that it turned out to be a vegetarian pig.

"Is it fun?"

Hearing Xu Zihang's question, Yao Ge didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. He wasn't interested in looking at pigs, not to mention it was really dirty to him, but it wasn't interesting at all. It was the first time he saw so many pigs. Pigs together, "It turns out that the pig farm looks like this." This kind of thought was quite fresh when it came out.

However, Xu Zihang just asked casually, and before he got an answer, he shifted his attention to the conversation of the previous few people.

On the way back to Lin's house, Lin Fengqi was still talking about how awesome that there are so many pigs.Li Chengjin just asked a lot of technical questions, such as how to deal with feces and how to disinfect them, and now he is immersed in the ocean of new knowledge.

"After watching the pig, I'm hungry again, I want to eat pig." Peng Dong patted his stomach.

"You're still hungry if it smells so bad, I think you're also a pig." Xu Zihang is no stranger to pig farms, even when the piglets were born.If they didn't want to come, he wouldn't want to take a step forward.

"If you wait a few months, you can watch the delivery of piglets." Xu Zihang danced and gestured to Yao Ge, holding his hands in front of his chest, as if a piglet had slept on it, "That's cute, the red ones .”

Back at Lin's house, the adults all went to take a nap, and the few of them also became a little sleepy.Lin Ruiding turned on the TV, but there was nothing interesting about this afternoon's program.

"Otherwise I'll make slingshots for you, it just happens to be boring." Lin Ruiding's proposal was quickly approved by unanimous votes, and the spirit of the boys came up again.

They went to pick up boards from the utility room in the yard.Yao Ge was the last one to pick, he turned his head and saw Xu Zihang didn't move.

"I don't like to play." Xu Zihang said.

I also don't like to play.Yao Ge said so in his heart.He has no interest in these at all, but he still wants to follow suit in order to appear gregarious.

The slingshot is not difficult, just draw the shape on the wood, cut it with Lin Ruiding's small saw, and file and sand the edges until smooth to the touch.Finally put on the rubber band.

Lin Ruiding's hands are indeed more dexterous. With the same steps, the ones he made are more beautiful, while others saw crookedly.Yao Ge didn't have much strength after sawing half of it, and Xu Zihang finished the whole thing for him in the end.

Yao Ge was sitting in a slightly dark room staring at the sparks in the brazier in front of him, the exclamation of other people around him had nothing to do with him, his finger just accidentally scratched a little bit, Yao Ge rubbed it.

I can't find fun, and I kind of want to go home and play the piano.

This winter afternoon was extremely long for him, and he wanted to go back to school quickly so that he could at least seem to fit into Xu Zihang's life.

"That friend of yours plays the guitar well." Before going to sleep, Lin Ruiding mentioned Yao Ge to Xu Zihang who was also lying on his stomach while flipping through the comic book.

This afternoon, Li Chengjin saw a guitar left by his cousin in Lin Ruiding's room. After asking Lin Ruiding, he picked it up and played with it. The most popular new songs.

Yao Ge didn't know what was going on with him, his desire to express himself was inflated like a hydrogen balloon, and when he reached a field he was familiar with, it seemed that the sense of security he had lost all day had returned, so he offered to play for everyone by himself. .

Xu Zihang didn't know that he could play the guitar. He had heard that he could play the piano, but he had never actually seen him.Yao Ge sat on Lin Ruiding's bright red floral bed sheet, fiddled with it a few times, skillfully tuned the tuners with his fingers, then smiled at them while holding the guitar, and whispered with bright eyes: "You're making a fool of yourself. "

"Langyayue, Yiren is haggard, I toasted and drank the wind and snow..." The gentle melody poured out from his fingertips, every pause was just right, everyone held their breath for fear of disturbing The tranquility of this moment.

Yao Ge sang in front of Xu Zihang for the first time, he did not pretend to lower his voice deeply, the unchanging voice of a child was a little immature, but his accurate grasp of the melody subtly concealed a little tension in his voice.

He sang a passage and gradually relaxed, his eyes fell on Xu Zihang's face, a little embarrassed, he lowered his head to look at his fingers pressing the strings.

"Prosperity is like three thousand rivers flowing eastward, I only take a spoonful of love to understand, and I only love the butterfly incarnate by you..."

The butterfly came out from behind Yao Ge and landed on the tip of Xu Zihang's nose. He raised his hand and rubbed his nose, only to suppress the itch in his heart a little.

Yao Ge sings really well.

"But he looks so squeamish." Lin Ruiding turned over. During dinner, everyone grabbed the pig's trotters and gnawed. Lin Ruiding saw that Yao Ge used chopsticks all the time, even if he used them badly. search.

"It's okay, he just talks about hygiene." Xu Zihang sniffed and lay down. Xu Zihang thought that Yao Ge should be home by now. After two hours, "Hair Like Snow" in the earphones also The single looped for two hours. He didn't like this song very much.

This evening I asked them if they wanted to stay and sleep, but before anyone else spoke, Yao Ge said that he was going home, and the others were embarrassed to stay.If Yao Ge is here, he must sing a few more times.This guy, who can sing obviously, never speaks.

"Cut, I also care about hygiene!" Lin Ruiding was not convinced, turned around and put his legs on Xu Zihang's body and strangled his neck, "Who doesn't care about hygiene!"

"Hahaha! Your hands are so cold!" Xu Zihang quarreled with him, and the feeling that he couldn't figure it out was interrupted like this.

Yao Ge was lying on the warm bed at home, holding the slingshot on the table that Xu Zihang completed in the second half of the process.

After being brought home by Xu Zihang's father, grandma asked him why his clothes smelled of oily smoke. Now he raised his sleeves and smelled it, and the pajamas smelled of washing powder. Grandma threw it in the washing machine.The handle of the slingshot was sawed by himself, and it was crooked, and now there is a piece protruding from it.

This is Yao Ge, my classmate.

This is Lin Ruiding, my good friend.

This conversation popped up in his head today, and it still lingers all day.Yao Ge pulled the rubber band and played it empty-handed against the ceiling on the bed.

On the other side, Xu Zihang, who was hiding under the bed of his good friend, thought in a daze before falling asleep that Yao Ge is so beautiful.I also want to learn guitar.
