only in this mountain

Chapter 6 Mid-Autumn Festival

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang He called his family, saying that he had transferred money to his father's account so that they would have a good meal at home tomorrow, but his mother pressed him if he would not come home after eleven.After hanging up the phone, Jiang He was so blocked that he didn't dare to tell his family that he had resigned from City S and moved to a mountain village that was poorer than his hometown, let alone going home.

The second idiot took advantage of his inattention and took the rotten pear he picked up from the yard to the sofa and gnawed on it, leaving green stains everywhere that couldn't be wiped off.He drove the second idiot into the yard, saw that he was so dirty that he wanted to squeeze his breath into the living room without hitting him, and took hot water to wash him inside and out.The second idiot had grown up quite a bit, but he was rather short in stature, so Jiang He treated it like a puppy, wiped it clean and threw it into the kennel, and gave it a biscuit for grinding its teeth.The second idiot saw Jiang He taking the key and walking around the room, his ears immediately perked up.Sure enough, not long after, Jiang He came out of the living room, and the second idiot rushed out the moment he closed the door, rolling on the ground a few times.

Jiang He cursed that the bath was for nothing, but he couldn't go back, so he had to let him follow in the end. .

Unlike cities in the countryside, you can’t buy what you want at any time. Although there is more than one small shop in the village, many things are not complete, so they still retain the tradition of going to the neighboring larger villages to go to the market when there is an even number. In recent years, with the development of the villages and towns, there are not as many people going to the market as before, and those who have a car will choose to go directly to the town.Thinking about the holidays tomorrow, there is nothing at home. Since Zhang Yunde went to the city, he seldom buys online. After all, he is not from the school, and it is embarrassing to frequently go to pick up the courier, so he decided to catch a trip set.

Jiang He didn't have any cash, and after tossing and tossing for a long time before going out, he was debating whether he should go to Zhang Huai to change it.Because Zhang Yunde had invited a bunch of friends to take care of Jiang He, Zhang Huai was the only one Jiang He saw who could still call out his name.Zhang Huai was easy to talk to, so he gave him 200 yuan, but he felt that Jiang Helu was always unreliable in doing things, and he was afraid that he would take a long way by himself, so he asked Jiang He to go with him, and he went to the village where he went to the market. The cows raised by a family of the family went to see a doctor.

The two of them went there relatively late, and there weren't many things for sale at the market, and they were left over from other people's picks. Jiang He bought two late-ripening melons, a few tomatoes, a pound of spare ribs, and half a chicken that was frozen hard. , and the last handful of chestnuts I saw after walking half a street.

On the way back excitedly carrying the booty, Jiang He heard Zhang Huai say, "Come to my house tomorrow and I'll celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Unexpectedly, Jiang He turned his head to look at Zhang Huai, and saw that he pursed his lips as if he was not the one who spoke just now. Holiday..."

Zhang Huai's tone was still the same, but there was a hint of irresistibility: "Just make it lively during the festival, it's too deserted to be alone."

Jiang He thinks about it too. After all, he and Zhang Huai are quite familiar, and usually take things from his house, so it's no big deal to have a meal. "Then take the vegetables you bought today to your house." The weight of the things in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and Jiang He didn't want to mention it now.

"No, you can keep it. Can't lift it anymore? I'll help you carry it." As he spoke, Zhang Huai took the plastic bag in Jiang He's hand.

Jiang He was empty-handed, and his whole body began to feel uncomfortable. The golden autumn wind blowing on his face did not blow away his entanglement, but made his face more and more red.

Jiang He has a little secret, an unspeakable little secret that no one tells, and he discovered it when he was ignorant in high school.

He doesn't pay attention to the beautiful and lively girls in the class, but is more interested in the thin and tall boys.He himself has a small frame, neither the Adam's apple nor the bone knot are very obvious. When he first developed, he looked like a tomboy from behind, so he was very envious of boys with obvious features.Whether it's a sharp-edged face, or a protruding collarbone and Adam's apple, etc., he is not a single face control, he will pay special attention to a certain part of a boy that he thinks is good-looking.

To be honest, Zhang Huai's good looks are indeed one of the things that attracts Jiang He. He has a completely in line with Jiang He's imagination of male beauty. The contours of his face are clean and neat, not harsh or feminine, his peach eyes are calm and deep, and his thin lips seem to be unsympathetic. When he purses his lips tightly, it does mean that strangers should not get close to them, but if you look closely, you will find that he has very beautiful lips. Every time he opens his mouth to speak, people have the urge to jump over and bite it off.

Not only does he have a good face, but Zhang Huai is also tall, to say the least. He has long arms and legs and wears long-sleeved trousers all year round. His skin is not as dark as the others in the village. It is exposed, it is the kind of stretched beauty that contains strength but does not appear muscular. He has painted paintings for many years and has seen countless hands, but at this moment, he really wants to know that Zhang Huai's well-articulated hands are held in the palm of his hand. What a feeling.

He is not a single face control, but he likes every part of Zhang Huai's body.

I have struggled and tortured myself before, whether I am a homosexual who only likes men, and lives in chaos when I can't find the answer. Although he has a little enlightenment after meeting Zhang Huai, he still wants to continue to avoid this question, and then There is a kind of fluke expectation, so I just let nature take its course while continuing to live in chaos.

Just when Zhang Huai took over the heavy object he was carrying, he suddenly felt as if his chest was filled with something, swollen, but not uncomfortable.

Secretly pressing on his chest, his heart was beating fast, and he glanced at Zhang Huai again, not only his face was hot, but his whole body was extremely hot.

According to the local custom, a firecracker will be set off before the Mid-Autumn Festival meal, and because the habits of each family are different, some people set it off at noon and some at night.The second idiot has been hiding at home since he was frightened by the sound of firecrackers at noon and refused to go out. He also lost interest when he saw Jiang He going out in the afternoon, so Jiang He left him at home alone, and went to the Mid-Autumn Festival happily.

Zhang Huai didn't know how he told Zhang Yunyuan. Although Zhang Yunyuan didn't say a word when he saw Jiang He, he didn't show any disgust. Instead, Zhang Huai's grandfather kept saying to Jiang He: "Xiao Jiang, you can treat this place as your own home. There is nothing wrong with it. Good things, eat whatever you want, there will be mooncakes after dinner, you can take some back." His grandfather can't speak a word of Mandarin, Jiang He only half-knowledgeed, so he could only nod indiscriminately.

He hasn't celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family since he went to college, and he is the only one in S City no matter how big or small the festival is. At this time, some indescribable emotions are surging in his heart.

This table of Mid-Autumn feast is very rich, the main course is grilled fish and pork trotter stewed seaweed, there is also a yam old duck soup, there is also a fried tofu, eggplant, bean and water spinach are all home-made, served on a white plate is not as good as in a restaurant The selling price is different, the cucumber is served cold, and the tomato is cut into a whole plate and served on the table with only a layer of sugar.All the dishes on this table were made by Zhang Yunyuan. He was good at cooking. He also fried pumpkin balls, crispy meat and peanuts.The yellow rice wine is brewed by a small local winery. It tastes sweet and has a low alcohol content. It is no problem for the elderly and children to drink it.

During the time he lived in Zhang Yunde's house, Jiang He knew that the people here are actually heavy on salt and spicy. Although he can eat it, but he is used to bland food by himself, and he can't stand it if it is a little spicy. And Zhang Yunyuan even put a lot of pepper in the stir-fried water spinach, so spicy that drinking alone can't relieve it much. He saw that no one touched the chopsticks on the plate of tomatoes and ate them one by one. It was sweet and cool, delicious and refreshing. Spicy, he ate the whole plate in the end.

"This wine is good. It doesn't overwhelm you. After drinking it, your body will be strong." Zhang Huai's grandfather held up the wine glass as if showing off his treasure and introduced it to Jiang He. Come and drink it."

There is no woman in this family, but everything is well-organized. Zhang Yunyuan cooks the rice and brews the wine. He seems to be more capable than expected. A middle-aged man in his 50s is not healthy. A father in his 70s, next to him... Uh, how old is Zhang Huai?

Glancing at Zhang Huai, he saw that he was eating silently with his head down.His face was red again, and in order to cover himself, he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of crispy meat, thinking that the crispy meat is delicious, so as to dispel his wild thoughts, but suddenly spit out: "What a big piece of ginger." Probably Zhang Yunyuan When cooking, I accidentally dropped the remaining half of ginger into the oil pan.

Zhang Huai's shoulders trembled almost invisibly, and just when Jiang He wanted to make sure that he was smiling, his expression changed slightly, and he took out a mobile phone from his pocket, and said to Zhang Yunyuan, "It's my sister calling back."

Zhang Yunyuan's frown, which had been tightly locked all this time, actually loosened a little. His face seemed to have bloomed like a flower, and the corners of his mouth were raised high. He took the phone from Zhang Huai's hand in surprise, and his voice changed with excitement: "Xiao Liu, have you eaten yet?"

A gentle female voice came from over there: "Dad, I've already eaten. I haven't had time to call you during this time. Sorry, I can't go home to accompany you during the holidays. How are you and grandpa?"

"Good, good, very good." Zhang Huai's grandfather yelled loudly.

The female voice on the phone started laughing, and chatted about some family matters. It was nothing more than that you should take good care of your health and go back to see you when you have time. After less than 10 minutes, the phone hung up.

Zhang Huai's grandfather happily drank wine and ate the boiled duck meat, as if nothing had happened, but Zhang Yunyuan's expression returned to the previous look of bitterness and hatred after hanging up the phone, and he didn't eat any food. After eating, he kept drinking there, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became a bit inexplicably dull.

"Hurry up, the food is getting cold." Suddenly there was a piece of white and tender fish in the rice bowl, Zhang Huai's voice was soaked with some kind of magic power, which attracted all his attention, he no longer cared whether Zhang Yunyuan was unhappy or why he was sad , I ate the fish in one bite, no spicy taste, very happy to eat.

After dinner, Zhang Huai went to wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. Jiang He was about to go back, but Zhang Yunyuan had already moved the table to the yard, and asked him to stay and play cards before leaving.In fact, neither he nor Zhang Huai played poker, but his father liked it very much. He often went to play with other old people in the village.

Jiang He only knows how to fight landlords, but fortunately, Mr. Zhang is not too demanding, and the three of them fought dozens of games just to make do.

"Grandpa Zhang, don't you have bombs, come out quickly, the big and small kings can bomb four twos together!"

"Dad, play by yourself, don't mix cards, Jiang He, you can't teach him to play..."

"Don't talk, you son of a bitch, my head hurts from the noise."

"..."

"A K, I'm out for sevens if no one wants me."

"Wait a minute, I still have a bomb, four three!"

"Hey, shouldn't it be me? Wait until my A's are out before you blow them up."

"...We are the peasants, he is the landlord..."

The moon was in the sky, he drank a few sips of tea and ate a few mouthfuls of moon cakes, Jiang He felt sleepy, seeing that the words on the card were blurred, he had no choice but to prepare to go back.Zhang Huai gave him a bowl, which contained dog food mixed with duck liver and duck intestines and rice.Jiang He smiled gratefully. He was not only sleepy but also had the aftereffects of drinking too much rice wine. When he turned around, he didn't see the threshold under his feet being tripped. Fortunately, Zhang Huai pulled him back in time.

"Let me take you back." Zhang Huai took the bowl in Jiang He's hand again, and pushed Jiang He forward. Jiang He smiled mischievously again, and silently walked to the other side of the river with Zhang Huai.

"Next time I'll treat you to dinner too."

"it is good."

"My cooking is very ordinary, not as delicious as your father's cooking."

"fine."

"Zhang Huai, how old are you this year?"

"29."

"Then do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

"Is your sister calling today? Is she married?"

"Yes."

"Zhang Huai, do you have a Weibo and WeChat Penguin account?"

"Yes, but not often."

"You add me as a friend, my name is Jiang Xiaohe."

"Why do you want to study veterinary medicine? Do you like small animals?"

"It wasn't like this when I filled out the volunteers, but I had to go for professional adjustments. I don't have any special feelings for small animals."

"Then why are you the village party secretary again? It feels so powerful."

"I'm not the village party secretary, I just help the village with some things."

"Huh? Then why..."

"No one is qualified to be the village party secretary, not even a few party members. Those sent by the higher-ups left as soon as their terms expired. Later, they simply became the same village party secretary as Shangyan Village. They called it as a joke."

"... Zhang Huai, what is your phone number, I can call you later..."

……

Jiang He will unconsciously become talkative in front of the person he likes. At this time, he should have been so sleepy that he is close to unconscious, and his words are inconsistent.Walking home with vain footsteps, he collapsed on the sofa as soon as he entered the living room, all the stamina of the rice wine came up, his whole body was hot, and he fell into a lethargic sleep.

Zhang Huai fed the second idiot, covered the chicken basket with a thick cloth and moved it into the utility room next to the kitchen, returned to the living room, took off Jiang He's long-sleeved trousers, wiped his face, hands and feet, and finally Move him to bed and go to sleep.During this period, Jiang He didn't feel anything at all, and slept like a dead pig.Zhang Huai took his key away, went outside and locked the door, planning to come back early the next morning to open the door for him.
