Longing for mountain village life

The next day, early in the morning, shouting came from outside the courtyard.

"Coming, coming!"

Grandpa and Jiang Tian went out, and a battered van was parked in front of the door.

The two got into the car, and the driver's seat was a middle-aged man in his forties, his name was Xu Zhaofu, and Jiang Tian should call him Uncle Xu.

The co-pilot was sitting Xu Zhaofu's wife, Aunt Liu.

"Nothing left, shall we?"

"No, let's go, it's a coincidence, you come back to your hometown, let's take a ride, it's troublesome for you." Grandpa said.

"Uncle Ming, what you said, I still ate at your house when I was young, so I don't need to be so polite, when I came back yesterday, I brought the little things left in the house, my mother always thinks at home, when I am older, I like nostalgia."

"yes, how is your mom?" Grandpa asked.

"It's not good, I feel very dull, we don't know what to do, the two of us get up at three or four o'clock in the morning to deliver, after delivering the goods, we have to go to the morning market to buy vegetables, after the busy work is already noon, go home to eat a little, and then be busy in the afternoon, and I don't have a long time to accompany her."

Xu Zhaofu said while driving the car.

Grandpa nodded, "Your mother is in a bad mood, it is also watching you work too hard, thinking of finding something to do to help you relieve the pressure, and being bored at home all day, there is no one to talk to, and the mood is definitely not good."

"We also consider these things, it's just, my mother is so old, it's really not safe for her to live in this mountain village, you know, the roads in our village are not convenient, the circuits are not very stable, and there is no signal from time to time, if you are not feeling well, just no signal, isn't that a bad thing?"

"Yes, this does need to be changed." Grandpa agreed.

Xu Zhaofu looked behind through the rearview mirror, "Uncle Ming, it can't be changed, now people are walking towards the city, even if some of the rural areas in the plains are only old people, like ours mountain villages with a relatively harsh environment, many have been abandoned, the whole village has moved to the township, and sooner or later our village will be like this."

"You don't have to worry, those sons and daughters are not bad, this is not a grandson of a university, there is no problem at all to support you."

It seems that the school problem was mentioned, Xu Zhaofu's wife Aunt Liu turned her head and asked: "Child, how did you study in high school, what is a good way, the son of the family just can't learn, I don't know what to do all day, you see this is already the third year of high school, wait until next year to have the college entrance examination, before the bottom test, the results ranked 30th in the class, a total of fifty people, the grade ranking is not known much, this kind of score is not to say that it is admitted to one, or two books can not be tested."

Aunt Liu looked sad, "You said that we are so busy and tired every day, don't we just want to provide for our children to go to college, but we are not angry at all, I remember that when you went to school, it was very worry-free, really envious, if only my son had half obedient to you."

Jiang Tianguang listened to her and roughly understood something.

"Aunt Liu, don't put too much pressure on your children, especially the third year of high school, this is the most stressful time, facing the mountain of the college entrance examination, many students are carrying huge pressure in their hearts, if you give pressure at home, students will easily collapse."

Xu Zhaofu: "You are quite right, just a few days ago, a girl in Qingyuan No. 1 Middle School committed suicide by jumping off the building, it is said that it is because of too much pressure to study."

"What, why didn't I know about this?" Aunt Liu was surprised.

Qingyuan No. 1 Middle School is her son's high school, and this kind of jumping off the building has too great a psychological impact on the child.

"Why tell you this, it's none of our business."

"Why don't you turn it off, my son is going to school there, and now someone jumps off the building, what if the pressure is too much to follow the school?"

"You don't believe your son too much." That being said, Xu Zhaofu's confidence is still not enough.

"No, I have to go to school and ask him if he still has money."

After hearing this, Xu Zhaofu did not object.

He looked at Jiang Tian, "Child, how long are you going to stay in the village?"

"Probably the New Year first!" Jiang Tian did not say that he had contracted land for several years.

Xu Zhaofu's eyes lit up, "Then after my son is on vacation, can you help with his homework, originally I was going to sign him up for a cram school, you college students are here, you don't need anyone else at all."

Jiang Tian waved his hand again and again, "I'm about to graduate, the knowledge of the original high school has been returned to the teacher, and I can't tutor it at all."

"You're just being humble, that's it."

Seeing Uncle Xu's unilateral announcement, Jiang Tian had no choice, he could only hope that he was joking.

Soon, they came to the county seat.

The two got out of the car, and the van went in the direction of Qingyuan No. 1 Middle School.

They came neither early nor late, and when they came here, the stalls were already set up at the big fair.

"What would you like to eat?" Grandpa asked.

"It's still tofu brain, I used to think about this when I was in school, but the tofu brain there is not the same as ours."

"Okay, I know there's a small stall that makes tofu brains delicious, and you should know that too."

Jiang Tian pondered, "Is it Chen Ji tofu brain?

"That's right, let's go!"

They came to the side of the big market, where there were many breakfast stalls selling everything.

Among them, Chen Ji's tofu brain stall has the most people, and the key is delicious.

Jiang Tian was queuing, and his grandfather was going to buy other snacks, because only tofu brains were sold here, and nothing else.

After waiting for five or six minutes, Jiang Tian put two bowls full of tofu brains on the table, and it happened that his grandfather also came back at this time.

He bought three buns, two large fritters, two tea eggs, and two leek boxes.

"So many?" Jiang Tian was surprised.

Grandpa smiled: "Recently, my appetite is relatively good, I haven't eaten breakfast at the big set for a long time, just buy some."

Jiang Tian nodded, and began to fall his gaze on the tofu brain in front of him, the things put were similar to other places, fungus, eggs, soybeans, but the taste was good, because the marinade poured on it was different.

This is Chen Ji's secret recipe, and it is with this tofu brain that people support their children and buy a house in the city.

After taking a bite, Jiang Tian said: "It's still salty tofu brain delicious, it's flavorful!"

Grandpa smiled, "Actually, I really want to taste what people say about the taste of sweet tofu brain, after all, the only things that can cause such a big debate between the north and the south seem to be salty and sweet tofu brain and rice dumplings." "
