Ye Yunzhou

Shanli Town, as the name suggests, is a small town in the mountains.Surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is an opening in the east, facing the sea.

There are many mountains on three sides, but there are five relatively high peaks protruding. The three-dimensional effect of the whole town is like a huge fat palm. The palm is the town, and there are four villages at the foot of the surrounding mountains.

A slender lake stretches from east to west, starting from under the tall mountain in the west, passing through the central town, and flowing into the sea in the east.There are four small villages on both sides of the small lake.

There are stretches of bamboo forests in Yezhu Village, surrounded by willow trees in Chujia Village, peach trees and pear blossoms in Taoyuan Village, and red phoenix flowers that bloom twice a year in Beicun Village.Although the town is not made of red bricks and green tiles, the simple and beautiful small buildings also have a unique flavor, quiet and peaceful.

In the beginning, Shanli Town had only waterways, which were to go out by boat from the east. Decades ago, when the People’s Republic of China began, a location was chosen between the west and north to open a mouth, and then there was land.

Shanli Town was just a mountain village at first, and later a primary school was built in the town, and it was promoted to a town.At the beginning, the four villages were originally going to have four names, southeast, north, and west, but except for Beicun, which was in the right place, the other three were all crooked, so they had to think of names again.It is said that Taoyuan Village was originally called Taozi Village, and Yezhu Village was called Zhuzi Village, but it was too simple and rude, so they had to change their names.

Get out of the city of X, drive along the road for more than an hour, enter the cement road built along the mountain, bypass the mountains, you can see the people in the mountains, and go down the winding mountain road, you can reach Shanli Town in half an hour .

Beicun was at the intersection. The two got off the car, passed through Beicun, and went up along the lake to Taoyuan Village.However, the road leads directly to the town on the outskirts of Beicun, and the road to the village is still a dirt road.

Of course Ye Yunzhou and the others had to go to the town first, the four villages in the town are not far away, just walk there.

The others got out of the car and left one after another, Ye Yunfei sent them directly outside Chu Tiankuo's parents' house.

Ye Yunzhou and Chu Tiankuo got out of the car to get things, Ye Lan got out of the car with Tangtang in her arms, turned around and said to Ye Yunfei in the car, "Go up and rest for a while, and leave after lunch."

Ye Yunfei smiled and replied: "No, sister. I'm going back to the city to eat, and I have an appointment with someone."

Chu Tiankuo came over with something, heard what he said, handed him a bag, and said: "In this case, we won't keep you. These are southern specialties that I got from my school teacher. They are all dry goods. You Take it back and taste it."

Ye Lan also said: "You don't charge us for the car every time, you can only give you such small things."

Ye Yunfei didn't shirk it, took it over, and said with a smile: "That's fine, I'll take it back and taste it. You guys go up, I'm leaving."

Ye Lan said to him, "Be careful on the road."

Tangtang also waved to him, "Uncle Tang, goodbye."

……

Chu Tiankuo’s parents and Ye’s father and Ye’s father are both old primary school teachers in the town, and the school’s teachers’ apartments are only the first two built. It was at that time that teachers were encouraged to return to the town to teach. Now the new teachers no longer have this kind of treatment. up.But it's close, it doesn't matter if it's in the town or not, and the house is not expensive.Moreover, the teacher's apartment is an old house with a simple layout of two rooms, a shared living room and kitchen, and a small bathroom. It cannot be compared with the newly built new houses in the town.

The two families live on the first floor. After the death of Ye's father and Ye's mother, Ye Yunzhou's grandmother lived in the house, so the three old people still have a companion.

The house has only five floors, and the two families live on the second floor, where they can see below.So when the three of them came upstairs, the three old men should have opened the door and waited.

"Mom and Dad, grandma."

Ye Lan put Tangtang on the ground, and Tangtang happily ran over, "Grandpa, grandma, grandma."

Ye Yunzhou also called out: "Grandma, uncle and aunt."

Mother Chu hugged Tangtang and kissed him, and let him enter the room, "Hey, come in quickly, I knew you were here just when I heard the sound of the car." Said Wan turned and helped Grandma Ye Yunzhou back to the room.

Father Chu asked Chu Tiankuo: "I see it looks like Yunfei's car below, is he taking you back?"

Chu Tiankuo replied, "Yes."

"Then why don't he come up to have a meal before leaving, the meal is already ready." It should be that they know they will come today and prepare the meal in advance.

Sure enough, when Ye Yunzhou entered the room, he could smell the strong aroma of vegetables.Although Papa Chu is a teacher, he is definitely good at cooking.

Chu Tiankuo said with a smile: "I said, but he has an appointment with someone, and he wants to go back to the city to eat."

Father Chu didn't say any more.

A few people washed their hands and ate, and a round table was placed in the small living room. Although the house was a bit small, and it felt hard to turn around when there were too many people, it was lively and very warm.

There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, and the preparations must have started early in the morning.

The family didn't pay much attention to seating, so Ye Yunzhou sat next to his grandmother.

Grandma is over 80, but she is still very healthy, so she puts some vegetables for Ye Yunzhou and asks him to eat more.

Uncle Chu on the opposite side asked him, "Zhouzhou, how is your work? Is it hard?"

Ye Yunzhou replied with a smile: "It's okay, working from nine to five, it's not hard."

Chu Tiankuo also smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry, we are watching."

Uncle Chu nodded and said, "That's fine. The other day I heard from your uncle that Zhou Zhou worked overtime at noon and had no food."

Ye Yunzhou was taken aback for a moment, thinking that it all happened last week, but his uncles were also concerned about him, so he explained with a smile: "It was because I was in a hurry that day, so I went to the cafeteria late."

Ye Lan also replied: "It should be that Zhou Zhou has just been promoted and has a lot of work."

Mother Chu picked out the fishbone carefully, put the fish meat in the Tangtang bowl, and answered the conversation, "No matter how busy you are at work, you have to eat on time. Your body needs to be healthy since childhood."

Ye Yunzhou nodded, "I know, thank you Auntie."

Then the topic turned to Ye Lan and his wife, from school work to the little Tangtang.

But while talking, Grandma Ye Yunzhou asked: "Zhou Zhou, do you have someone you fancy?"

"Ahem, grandma." Ye Yunzhou, who was drinking soup, was choked up and called his grandma helplessly.

But Chu's mother is obviously also very interested in this topic, "Yes, if you are interested, you should tell my aunt, and my aunt will go and ask for you." Help Zhouzhou pay attention, tell Zhouzhou if there is something good, get to know each other first, and then make a decision when you feel better."

Ye Yunzhou was a little embarrassed, but when he said this, what popped into his mind was that he ran into Ying Rong in the mall, and when he saw the stunning picture of him coming out of a piece of clothing, he quickly shook his head and drove the picture out of his mind. Said: "Not yet, I will tell my aunt if I like it."

Ye Lan and Chu Tiankuo were also a little embarrassed. They knew Ye Yunzhou's sexual orientation, and after what happened three years ago, they couldn't guarantee that Ye Yunzhou would get out of that sad incident, so they always avoided this topic.But seeing Ye Yunzhou like this today, the two felt relieved.

Ye Lan said to Chu's mother: "Mom, don't worry, we will take good care of Zhouzhou."

……

After dinner, Ye Lan and his wife were going to Chu's Village, and Ye Yunzhou took Tangtang to take a nap.When I got up after an hour, there was no one in the family, and the old people must have gone to the lake to take care of the shade and chat.

Ye Yunzhou dressed Tangtang, carried her out of the bedroom and put her on the sofa.There is no network cable at home, and the only entertainment is watching TV.Ye Yunzhou turned on the old color TV, went to the kitchen and got two bowls of mung bean soup, he drank his own two mouthfuls, because it was freezing in the refrigerator, he brought out a small bowl and put it on the tea table, and said to Tangtang: "You can drink it after a while. "

Tangtang nodded, and then asked Ye Yunzhou, "Uncle, where are Dad and the others?"

Ye Yunzhou wasn't too clear about it, so when he asked, he said, "They have something to do in Chu's Village, your grandparents and grandma should go visit."

Tangtang asked, "Then, what about us?"

"Eh." Ye Yunzhou took the remote control and switched channels aimlessly, looking at the big sun outside. Now in September, City X is still very hot, so he really doesn't want to go out.But there is no Internet, and the TV is not good.Staying at home is also boring, so I said: "Then let's go out to play."

Tangtang immediately climbed off the sofa and said happily, "Well, take it away."

Seeing his excitement, Ye Yunzhou also stood up, saw the mung bean soup on the table, and asked him, "You don't want to drink anymore?"

Tangtang hesitated and asked, "Can I drink it now?"

Ye Yunzhou reached out to touch the bowl, but it was still cold, so he shook his head, "No."

Tangtang shook her head, "Then I won't drink it, let's go out and play now."

Ye Yunzhou had no choice but to take the bowl back to the kitchen and put it in the refrigerator, and took a bottle of mineral water from the morning in the living room.This time the water was no longer iced, so I gave Tangtang a couple of sips before picking him up and going out.Fearing that he would get sunburned, I found a hat for him to wear.

Walking out of the corridor, I felt it. It may be because there are many trees, there is a lake in between, and there are basically no cars in the town, so it is not as hot as imagined, at least it is much cooler than the urban area.

Ye Yunzhou let him lie on the ground and let him walk by himself. Holding him on a hot day was really unbearable.

In fact, there are not many teenagers in the town, most of them are old people, but because there is an elementary school, there are still quite a lot of children, today something happened on Saturday, everyone threw it out to play.

Not far away, there is a condensed supermarket, commonly known as a grocery store. It used to be operated by Ye Yunzhou's grandmother, and then it was sold out. Now it is run by a woman in her 40s.Several children are buying popsicles, ice cream and cold drinks.Ye Yunzhou still remembers when he was in elementary school, he went to his grandma’s house after school to get some snacks and then went home while eating. However, he was weak when he was a child. His father and grandma wouldn’t let him eat more cold food, and there was only that small shop in the town at that time. , He was so greedy, but he couldn't find a place to buy it.

Reminiscing, she looked down at Tangtang who was holding her hand, and she really looked eagerly at the children over there who were really eating ice.Ye Yunzhou thought for a while, Tangtang is in good health, it shouldn't matter if he eats it once in a while, so he squatted down and asked him: "Tangtang, do you want to eat?" I will have a stomachache, my stomach hurts, do you want to eat?"

Ye Yunzhou saw that Tangtang was still reluctant to part, so he said, "Let's go, let's buy one, you eat half, I eat half."

All afternoon, Ye Yunzhou was worried about Tangtang's stomach ache. He had been offended by eating a bad stomach in the past, but Tangtang was obviously stronger than him, and his stomach was strong enough to withstand it, and there was no abnormality until night.

After dinner in the evening, Ye Yunzhou decided to go back to Taoyuan Village to see his grandparents tomorrow morning, and return to the city in the afternoon.Ye Lan and Chu Tiankuo didn't go back until Tuesday.
