Qiu He walked all the way and looked at the back in front of him.

The man was wearing an old T-shirt and jeans, obviously very ordinary clothes, but wearing him, he showed a kind of upright and isolated, even through the fog, it made people feel that he was not close to others.

It was completely different from the small town people he had seen on the bus and imagined before.

The woman boss of the supermarket is right.The fog was a little lighter than before, and the true colors of the town were vaguely revealed.There are houses hanging on the mountainside, and some of them have been expanded in front to make facades, selling some pesticides, seeds and groceries.More doors are closed.There is a road in front of the door, and the other side of the road is a slope full of miscellaneous trees.

Every house here has a spacious courtyard and open space. Vegetables are planted in the field, and occasionally there are a few crape myrtle trees in full bloom, and a tree of purple flowers blooms wetly in the mist.

The two walked silently on the road, one behind the other.Qiuhe didn't see anyone along the way, except for an old man carrying a hoe.The old man passed by them, as if he was very surprised by the combination of the two boys, he looked at Qiuhe for a long time, and turned his head to look at him several times.

That look was too straightforward, just like the excessive enthusiasm of the female supermarket owner, which made Qiuhe very uncomfortable. He thought, Ms. Shen Lin's hometown is really a strange place.

After seeing a large dark green tree shade towering in the distance, the boy in front crossed the road and turned left onto a path next to the tree. Qiu He followed him, and when he passed the tree, he stopped slightly and had a snack. shock.

This must be the so-called Pulang fruit tree, right?

This tree should be several hundred years old, and the trunk surrounded by the three of them is full of grotesque burrs.Among clusters of small round leaves, there are densely packed strange blue fruits.

Qiu He raised his head and was wondering whether the fruit tasted good or not when he suddenly felt a black shadow jumping down from the tree. With a hissing sound, the shadow landed on his back and bounced up again, jumping to a higher branch, sinking into the Among the dense leaves disappeared.

"what!"

Qiu He yelled hastily, and even felt the fur of the animal sweeping across his neck, causing goosebumps all over his body, frightened and excited at the same time.He caught up with Bai Chuan in a few steps, grabbed his arm and said, "There is something on the tree! It even jumped on me! What the hell is that?"

What Qiu He didn't expect was that Bai Chuan's first reaction was to quickly shake off his hand!

Then the guy backed away coldly and warily like he had shit on his hands.There was even undisguised disdain on his face. After looking at the tree indifferently, the young man called Bai Chuan slightly opened his thin lips, and explained with careless words: "Squirrel."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Qiuhe blushed immediately.

Because of his good personality, good looks, and good studies, he can always maintain a good relationship with the people around him.It was the first time in my life that I was disliked for no reason like this.

Qiu He looked at his hands embarrassingly.

It looks like a pair of hands of students who have not worked hard, soft, white, clean and beautiful.It's just that his sleeves were pulled by these hands, why did that guy feel disgusted to this extent?

Qiu He rubbed her hands on her trouser legs, and followed the boy to continue walking.Gritting his teeth while walking, he thought, what a strange guy!

This is probably the edge of the town, and the houses are even more sparse. Often there are houses in twos and threes after a large piece of woodland. Behind the houses is a dense bamboo forest, and there are vegetable fields and even pigpens beside them.The two walked in silence for a while, and Qiuhe finally saw the legendary pomegranate tree.

A tall and dense pomegranate pomegranate is full of fire-like red flowers. Beside the tree is the wide and flat Shauguping, and across the Saiguping are two adjacent small courtyard houses.

Bai Chuan stopped under the pomegranate tree.

"This one." He pointed to the courtyard on the left, then continued walking, stopped in front of another courtyard door next door, took out the key to open the door, entered the house, and closed the door again with a squeak .

"Hey!"

Qiu He yelled and stopped in embarrassment. He wiped his sweat, looked at the two closed courtyard doors, and said to himself, what's the matter?Do you still expect that kind of guy to bring you to grandpa?

He turned to look at his grandfather's residence.The houses here are all similar in layout.There are three main houses in a row on the front, and two side rooms are built on the left and right sides of the front. A courtyard wall encloses the house, forming a courtyard, and some courtyards are even planted with trees.

Living in the countryside is spacious, and even though his grandfather's family has only one person, they live in this kind of small courtyard house.

The fog came and went quickly, and it was almost gone by this time.The sunny summer evening is reflected on the pale green mountain peaks.Qiuhe saw a small stone roller beside the pomegranate tree, sat down on it, and rested for a while.

He hesitated a little.For a moment, I even wanted to go back home.Anyway, Shen Lin was still in the county seat, and had to wait for him to call to report his safety before leaving for the provincial capital.

Qiuhe was in a daze when suddenly an animal ran out from the nearby woods, it looked like a deer.It opened its big black eyes and looked at Qiu He. They looked at each other for a long time, and then the little guy was suddenly taken aback, shrugged his neck back, and ran into the woods.

Qiuhe couldn't help laughing at the confused and cute look.

At this moment someone in the yard suddenly spoke, a slightly hoarse voice shouted loudly: "Bai Chuan, is the bus from town here?"

After a while, the young man's mellow and clean voice came out, as if saying one more word would be a big loss, "Here we come."

The two old wooden doors that were closed in the small courtyard were opened, and an old man came out from inside.

Qiuhe's grandfather, Shen Baocheng, is strong and thick, with extremely short hair and gray stubble, and has no similarity with Shen Lin, who still has two parts of juicy.

He saw Qiuhe at a glance, but he just looked at him sternly, as if looking at a stranger.

Isn't it a stranger?In Qiu He's memory, this was the first time the grandfather and grandson met.

However, he still stood up politely, with a flattering smile, and said, "Are you grandpa? I'm Qiu He."

Shen Baocheng stared at him for a while, turned around and entered the room without saying a word.

This kind of hospitality has never been seen before.Qiu He was suddenly very embarrassed, and didn't know whether to just follow into the house or continue standing by the side of the road.

Fortunately, the old man turned out again after a while, and said angrily: "Why don't you come in? Do you want me to invite you?" After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the house again.

Qiuhe had no choice but to follow behind him, crossing the empty field and entering the yard.

The small courtyard is very clean. There is a water tap in the courtyard. The left room is probably the kitchen. Under the eaves, firewood is neatly stacked. A bamboo pole is full of strings of red peppers, which is a bit like the situation in a farmhouse.

The only thing that is not in harmony with this small farmyard is that there are several large cardboard boxes, tall and short.

Shen Baocheng stood in front of the cardboard boxes, and said with an inquiring tone: "Where is your mother? What is she doing with this pile of boxes? Let her take them away!"

The box contained all kinds of electrical appliances sent by Shen Lin from the county.Qiuhe and Shen Lin stayed in the county for two days just to buy these household appliances.On the one hand, Shen Lin is determined to send her son back to his hometown, but on the other hand, she is worried that her son will suffer in the countryside. When she goes shopping, she can't wait to buy all the products and pack them up.

Qiuhe squatted down and looked at the big and small cardboard boxes, feeling quite puzzled, "This is a newly bought washing machine, and that one is a microwave oven. When the delivery came yesterday, I should have helped debug and install it. Why are they still piled up?" here?"

The anger that Shen Baocheng had accumulated from yesterday to the present was intended to vent on his daughter, but unexpectedly she hid, so he yelled at his innocent grandson: "Who wants these things? You call her now!" Call, tell her to find someone to take the things away!"

When Qiuhe heard it, he felt very uncomfortable.No wonder Shen Lin didn't come back, it seems that the grudge between the father and daughter is still deep.

He is soft-tempered, but he doesn't want to suffer from this splint, so he immediately took out his phone, turned it on, dialed Shen Lin, and handed it to his grandfather, "Here, tell her yourself!"

Shen Baocheng obviously had never used this kind of smartphone before. With a dark face, like grabbing a slippery loach, he took the call with great effort, and roared angrily: "Come back and drag the things away! Who Want your stuff? How great are you if you have two stinky coins? Drag it away! Drag it away, and I’d be willing if you didn’t come to my door for the rest of your life!”

After he finished yelling, he handed the phone back to Qiuhe. Only now did Shen Lin's voice come from the phone.

Qiu He: "The call was not connected just now..."

How about you yell again?

Shen Baocheng stared at the phone in a daze for a long time, his face was so dark that he couldn't even look at it.

Like a fire-breathing old bull, he roared in one go, but no one heard him at all.Shen Baocheng stared fiercely at Qiu He who was holding the phone, and concluded that the little bastard must have done this on purpose.

Qiu He suspected that his grandfather would yell at him in the next second, but Shen Baocheng turned around and went into the kitchen.

Qiuhe stood in the yard holding his breath for a while, and the vegetables were fried inside.

The person who was cooking was obviously still angry, and there was a lot of commotion in the kitchen.

Qiu He thought to himself, forget it?Just hang yourself in the yard like this?

He was a little sad, but also a little amused. He tentatively looked at the kitchen door, but he didn't watch out for a puff of accumulated oily smoke coming out of his face. He immediately choked him and coughed.

He always coughed and couldn't stop it. It was a small cough at first, but soon he coughed hoarsely, his face turned red, and his face was covered with tears and snot.

Qiuhe coughed, shaking her hands to find the medicine bottle in her bag, finally found it, and sprayed the spray into her mouth more than a dozen times, and gradually stopped coughing.

When he raised his head, he saw Shen Baocheng standing under the eaves, with a complicated expression on his face.The old man watched for a while, then walked through the small courtyard without saying a word, and entered the west wing.

Qiu He wiped the tears and snot from her face with her hands, thinking that she must not be in the right place with this town. Since she is so unpopular, she should go to the town later and ask if there is a car, and if she can leave tonight.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Shen Baocheng entering the kitchen from the west wing with a basin, and there was a sound of scooping water. After a while, he carried the basin of warm water in one hand, and dragged a small bamboo chair in the middle of the yard with the other. Facing the corner of the yard stiffly, he said, "Wipe your face!"

Qiu He felt much better all of a sudden.

The towels were obviously new.Just after washing his face, there was already a small square table next to him, with a cup of warm water on it.The black-faced grandfather sat down at the other end of the square table, snorted angrily, and said, "She is so capable, she is such a good child, how did she become so sick?"

Qiu He sat on a small chair drinking warm water, and after a while, realized that "she" referred to Shen Lin, and this might be a way for grandpa to strike up a conversation with him.Just now he coughed so intensely that his voice was hoarse. Before he spoke, he cleared his throat and said, "The doctor said it was congenitally weak lungs, and the lungs were not well developed when he was born. He coughed well before, but in recent years The air pollution is so serious that it has become like this.”

Shen Baocheng drooped his face and ignored him. After a long time, he complained again: "I always say that this is good and that is good outside. Why don't you even have two good doctors? If you don't treat any illness as soon as possible, what are you waiting for?"

Qiuhe thought, if it can be cured, it will wait until now?

Thinking of how many places Shen Lin had traveled with him, how much energy and how much money she had spent in order to cure this old coughing disease, Qiu He had a headache.

Grandpa might not understand these things, so Qiu He changed the subject, "Grandpa, the place where you live is really nice, the environment is good, and the air is fresh! As soon as I came here, my throat felt much more comfortable."

"What's the use of good air? Don't you all think it's bitter in the mountains? Don't you all want to stay here?" The old man complained, got up and went into the kitchen, and ordered loudly inside: "Put the bag in the room on the left, and get ready have dinner!"

After Qiuhe drank a glass of warm water slowly, the pain in her throat and chest was relieved, and she felt much better.

He thought, the old man and Shen Lin actually look alike, they both look fierce, but in fact they have a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, and they look like a stubborn old man.

When dealing with a stubborn old man, you can't attack by force, you have to outsmart.

Qiu He carried his backpack and went into the room on the left of the main house, which was obviously for him.The rectangular bedroom is spacious and simply furnished with an old-fashioned plank bed, wardrobe and an ancient-looking desk.The bed had already been padded, and it was covered with a white and brand new mosquito net.

He took out several large bags of medicine and a laptop from his backpack and put them on the desk. Thinking that most of the luggage was still in the boxes in the yard, he went to study those boxes again.Guessing that there was one containing his own clothes and books, he raised his voice and called to the kitchen: "Grandpa, do you have any scissors?"

When Shen Baocheng came out, he still had a straight face, found a pair of shiny black scissors, and handed it to Qiuhe with a face of reluctance.

Qiuhe took it over and decided to take the initiative to turn hostility into friendship, so he smiled brightly at his dark-faced grandfather and said, "Thank you, grandfather!"

Youdao stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling face, his grandfather didn't tense immediately, a little red light appeared in his black face, he was very happy, but his tone still couldn't soften: "Don't tear it down! Return it tomorrow!"

While unpacking the carton, Qiu He replied, "This is my clothes."

The old man had no choice but to give up, but Qiu He took out a refrigerator and asked nonchalantly, "Grandpa, where do you put the refrigerator?"

With a straight face, Shen Baocheng stared at the little bastard who didn't take his words to heart.But the little bastard was not afraid of him at all. He blinked his eyes, looked at him innocently, and said, "Grandpa, quickly plug in the electricity! The medicine I brought must be put in."

This is the most important thing.No matter how angry the father and daughter are, they can't delay the child's health!Shen Baocheng stepped forward, waved to Qiuhe who was vigorously shaking the refrigerator, and said, "Go away!"

Then he bent down, clasped his hands together, and effortlessly lifted the refrigerator out of the box, and hooped it into the main room again, placing it next to a socket.

Qiu He followed behind, unable to help, so he had to keep nagging, reminding his grandfather to be careful about the steps, wiping his hands, and his waist.

Shen Baocheng ignored him, turned and went back to the kitchen, leaving Qiuhe to work on the refrigerator alone.Qiu He turned on the refrigerator, went out of the yard and unpacked her luggage, and when she was done packing, Shen Baocheng also cooked a meal, and the small square table in the courtyard was full of dishes.

Both the grandpa and grandson were sweating from the work. After washing their hands and faces with water, they sat in the small courtyard and had dinner.
