The Sweetness of the Seventies

After having a bad sleep on the train, Lin Xiaoru and Huang Jingli slept soundly after eating steamed buns and taking a bath.

He Tiantian was in good spirits. She packed her things, locked the door, turned off the lights, and opened the curtains to let the wind from outside in. There was no fan in the room, so she could only rely on the natural wind from outside to cool down.

Listening to the breathing of others, He Tiantian closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze. However, she had a dream, and what she dreamed of was the little silver snake that made He Tiantian at a loss and confused during the day.

The little silver snake sat on the ground with its tail coiled, poked its head out, and warned: "Don't scratch me in the future! Don't scratch me! Don't scratch me! Say it three times for important things, don't scratch me!"

He Tiantian scratched her head, trying to remind the little silver snake that it actually said it four times.

What? The little silver snake can actually speak?

He Tiantian was stunned, which surprised her more than the fact that the little silver snake was wrapped around her ankle during the day and couldn't get off.

This little white snake is really a spirit, He Tiantian said with great certainty, regardless of why the little white snake didn't let her scratch it, and nodded quickly: "No more scratching, no more scratching, never again."

"Hmm!" The little silver snake raised its head proudly. This human was timid and easy to control. He was disobedient, so he became obedient after being frightened.

Seeing that the little silver snake understood human nature, He Tiantian plucked up her courage and asked: "Snake spirit, no, it's the snake king. If you bite me, will I... die?"

Although she was very scared, He Tiantian was more concerned about her own life and death.

Hearing this, the little silver snake was so angry that it jumped up and stood up on the ground with a "swoosh". Yes, it was "standing up". Only the tip of its tail supported the ground, and it spit out a red snake tongue from its mouth and said: "It's your honor to let me bite you. It will benefit you in the future."

What the hell?

Being bitten by a snake is actually a good thing?

He Tiantian didn't believe it and was about to refute it.

The little silver snake stared at her with sinister eyes and said, "If you keep talking, I'll bite you to death!" He Tiantian has never been very courageous since she was a child. She immediately became timid when threatened by the little white snake and said quickly, "Okay, I won't dare to do it anymore. I won't dare to do it anymore. I won't say it again." The little silver snake looked at the timid He Tiantian proudly, nodded its flat head, and said with an expression of "you are very sensible", "Don't disturb my sleep, otherwise..." "I dare not, I dare not, you sleep well!" He Tiantian promised quickly. She was most afraid of this kind of sticky and soft mollusk. After a while, the little silver snake coiled around her ankle and merged with the skin of her ankle at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a circle of silver-white stripes. He Tiantian was shocked, but she was no longer as scared as she was at the beginning. This little silver snake didn't seem to want to bite her to death. As for why this little silver snake was on her ankle and why the little silver snake could speak, He Tiantian was puzzled. If she has a chance in the future, she will definitely ask the little silver snake.

The next morning, the sun shone into the room through the old curtains.

He Tiantian felt comfortable all over, and her fatigue disappeared. When she got dressed and got up, she saw her ankles and thought of the talking little silver snake in her dream, and she smiled unconsciously.

Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more.

He Tiantian took the washbasin to wash up, and when she came back, Huang Jingli and Lin Xiaoru went to wash up. Taking turns to wash, they could just look at the things in the room.

Village Chief Qi bought steamed buns, one for each person, drank a bowl of porridge, and then took everyone back together.

It was cooler to travel in the morning, there were fewer people on the road, and the speed was faster.

The road was uneven, but the trees on both sides of the road were lush and green.

But it was noon, and they passed a stone road with no trees on both sides. The big sun above their heads made He Tiantian unable to open her eyes.

"We'll be there in half an hour." Village Chief Qi said, "You city people are so delicate. In such a hot day, we rural people still have to go to the fields to work!"

Huang Jingli, Lin Xiaoru, and Li Mingkai didn't like what Village Chief Qi said, and turned their heads away, ignoring Village Chief Qi.

He Tiantian put her hand on her forehead and squinted her eyes and said, "I hoe the field in the middle of the day, and my sweat drips down the field. Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work. Without the hard work of farmers, city people can't have enough food..."

"Haha." Village Chief Qi smiled, "What the little girl said is very good. Ergou, stop under the tree in front. There is a lotus pond over there. I know people there. I'll go pick some lotus leaves to shade you from the sun."

"Thank you, Village Chief Qi." He Tiantian smiled. There will be many places where Village Chief Qi will be needed in the future. Now is a good time to leave a good impression and build a good relationship.

Qi Dazhu likes Tiantian very much. She is much better than those three in terms of words and deeds.

When we got to the front, we arrived at a lotus pond.

Qi Dazhu said a few words to the people, picked six large lotus leaves, and put one on each person's head, and they really didn't feel so hot.

"Thank you, Village Chief Qi." Huang Jingli smiled, "The sun is so strong, I feel dizzy."

"That's right, if it weren't for Village Chief Qi, we would still be exposed to the sun." Lin Xiaoru said, she could see that this Village Chief Qi was soft-hearted and not hard-hearted, and he returned the favor when He Tiantian was nice. It can be said that the three of them benefited from He Tiantian.

As for Li Mingkai, he was not stupid, and knew that if he handled the relationship with the village cadres well, his life would be easier in the future, but he just couldn't let go of his face.

Village Chief Qi was not a stingy person, and smiled and said, "We will all work in the same village in the future, so don't be polite."

He Tiantian saw Huang Jingli, Lin Xiaoru and Village Chief Qi talking to each other, and she didn't interrupt, but listened quietly.

Finally, at around one o'clock at noon, we passed through Hujia Village and arrived at Qijia Village.

Most of this remote village is surrounded by mountains and there is very little land. Most of the land is still terraced fields. The labor intensity is high and the grain yield is not high. In a low wooden house, naked children jumped one after another to a large puddle in the lower reaches of the river to take a bath, like dumplings, using the most primitive dog paddle style to see who could swim better. quick.

"You brats, be careful and don't go to the deep water. If I see anyone going to the deep water, I'll beat their ass." Village Chief Qi scolded loudly, but with a smile on his face, he didn't beat him. The meaning of the child is just to remind the child to pay attention to safety.

Rural people don't know how to speak tactfully, and most of them care about others through laughing and cursing like this.

"Got it!" A group of little kids addicted to walking around answered louder than the last.

"A bunch of brats." Village Chief Qi scolded with a smile, "I made you laugh."

"They are all children. It's hot in summer, so it's nice to take a bath to cool off." Huang Jingli said, "Isn't Qijia Village just ahead?"

"Yes, just turn that corner." Village Chief Qi said that although their village is poor, the folk customs are still good and they can complete the commune's tasks every year.
