A girl who looked sixteen or seventeen years old walked out. She held two glasses of water and handed it to Su Rui and Su Chiyan, with a slight timid feeling in her eyes.

After all, there are very few outsiders coming to this small mountain village. Su Rui and his friends crossed mountains and ridges, and by a very coincidence, they came here by accident.

"Uncle, where are we?" Su Rui asked while drinking water.

"We are the mountain village." The uncle smiled and said, "Because the village has been on the mountain, it was called the mountain village decades ago, and it kept calling it down."

"The village on the mountain." Su Rui chewed the name, then looked at the surrounding mountains: "It's quite an image."

If it weren't for the wrong path, Su Rui really didn't know that there was a mountain village so close to the capital that made people feel so comfortable.

The smoke from cooking stoves was curling, the birds were singing, and even the sky was much bluer than that of the capital city.

"Where did you come from?" the uncle asked.

"We came from the capital. We walked all night, for about ten hours, lost our way, and I don't know why we came here." Su Rui smiled.

Through conversation, Su Rui learned that the uncle's surname is Zhao, and his ancestors have lived in this mountain village for generations. His eldest son and eldest daughter have gone out to work. His youngest daughter Tingting has just been in high school. She usually studies in the school in the town, and today is just the weekend.

This mountain village is indeed the boundary of Yanbei Province. Although it is very close to the capital, due to inconvenient transportation, it has become a forgotten corner of developed cities. From here to the edge of the capital, it only takes two hours to drive, but it seems to be two worlds.

There is no traffic here, but it has beautiful mountains and rivers. It seems that the temperament of these mountains and rivers is different from that of the capital.

Su Rui and Su Chiyan both found it very wonderful.

"You haven't had breakfast yet?" Uncle Zhao said with a smile, "Just have some at our house."

The uncle was very enthusiastic, so Su Rui and Su Chiyan agreed with a smile.

After drinking several glasses of water in a row, they also felt that they had recovered a lot of energy.

Perhaps it is similar to "people feel refreshed when they are happy", Su Chiyan didn't sleep all night and was not very sleepy.

The aunt had already prepared the meal, and the simplest pickled white porridge and steamed buns were Su Rui not picky about food, and Su Chiyan felt it was extremely sweet.

For her, this kind of experience was a very rare experience.

Tingting was a little restrained and hardly spoke much. Su Chiyan asked on his own initiative: "Tingting, which university do you want to take in the future?"

"I want to take the school in the capital." Tingting said.

This place is not far from the capital, but she has never been to that city since she was born. Tingting only saw everything about that super city in books.

"Oh, don't think too much. The capital's schools are so difficult to take, and it's okay if you can't get through. Go out and work with your brothers and sisters." Uncle Zhao said.

A stubbornness flashed in Tingting's eyes: "I will definitely pass the exam."

In fact, she is only in the first year of high school now, and there are still two years left before the college entrance examination. But according to Uncle Zhao, Xiao Nizi is very good at studying. Since junior high school, she has always been the first in the academic year. However, the quality of teaching in the middle school in the town will be very different from that in big cities. She may only be able to get one or two undergraduates a year. If you want to get into a good university in the capital, Tingting has to work hard from now on.

"I will send you a few reference books in the future." Su Rui said with a smile. He really likes such a motivated child.

In mountain villages, many people still don’t realize the importance of studying and think that working for a lifetime is no problem, but being able to arm themselves with knowledge will always bring many different changes to life without realizing it.

"Thank you brother." Tingting said.

"What are you shouting around? Calling uncle." Old Zhao said with a smile.

Although he said that he asked his daughter to work after graduation, he still looked proud every time he mentioned that the little girl was good at studying.

That is joy from the heart, and it cannot be transformed in the eyes.

Su Rui laughed: "It's okay to shout anything. Tingting calls me brother, which means I'm still very young."

The whole family laughed.

Su Rui pointed to several nearby houses and said, "Uncle Zhao, why do I think these houses don't seem to live in? Are there fewer and fewer people in the village?"

Speaking of this, Lao Zhao sighed: "Oh, yes, after all, this is just a small mountain village. There are only more than one hundred households in total. Everyone wants to go out. Many fellow villagers go out to work and never come back... They don't even come back for the New Year."

Su Rui nodded. After all, living in this mountain has too many inconveniences, and he can understand the ways of these villagers. However, with the acceleration of urbanization, many ancient villages are destined to face "death", and this is hard to tell whether it is good or bad.

However, from Uncle Zhao's tone, there is also a clear sense of sentimentality.

"By the way, uncle, if we go back to the capital, how should we go back?" Su Rui asked.

"You have to walk for an hour, then wait for the bus to the town, and then go from the town to the county town, where there is a shuttle bus to the capital." Uncle Zhao said.

"So complicated?" Su Rui's expression couldn't help but feel a little difficult when he heard this.

“It’s actually a bit more complicated.”

Tingting said: "If you want to go to the town, there is only one bus every day, which is at six o'clock in the morning. If you miss it, you have to wait until tomorrow. Moreover, you have to transfer to the county town when you get to the town. There is only two days when a bus is departing to the capital."

"What?" Even Su Chiyan was a little surprised.

To be honest, they rarely have such so-called opportunities to go deep into the countryside. They think that although this place is in the mountains, it is very close to the capital. However, the traffic here is still beyond Su Rui and Su Chiyan's imagination.

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but say, "I think we'd better go back."

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Chiyan's deep sense of expectation rose again.

She didn't want to go back. In fact, it didn't matter if this mountain village was blocked. At least Su Rui was by her side. With such a simple companion, Su Chiyan could feel the joy and warmth in her heart.

"Well, I think that's OK," Su Chiyan said with a smile: "You can take a day off, and then we'll go back tomorrow."

Su Rui nodded: "Send a text message to your family and say it."

Su Chiyan immediately took out her cell phone, but while typing, she hesitated: "But, we said we were lost, can they believe it?"

This young man and woman had some unexplainable relationships, and with Su Rui's sense of direction, it was almost impossible to get lost unless deliberately.

And you get lost and get lost all night? The phone is not without signals, so you have to wait for more than ten hours before you contact your home?

It's just a matter of overshadowing the truth!

After hearing this, Su Rui immediately reacted and coughed gently: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you send this message or not. After all, we didn't go back last night and didn't ask at home."

Everyone's hearts are like a mirror, they are all smart people, they see through and don't say it out loud.

"So that's it." Su Chiyan nodded, then put away his phone and smiled, "It's just right."

At this time, Tingting suddenly said, "Brother and sister, are you a couple?"

This question immediately made the atmosphere on the scene silent.

Su Chiyan's pretty face immediately turned red, and Su Rui didn't know how to answer.

After more than ten seconds, Su Chiyan replied: "No, he is my brother."

This is a very clever answer. Su Rui said angrily: "Are you sure you are talking about the facts?"

"That's right, you are younger than me." Su Chiyan blinked proudly.

Su Rui replied without hesitation: "So what, it means you are getting older than me."

Hearing the two of them quarrel, Lao Zhao's family began to laugh out loud.

They were all very enthusiastic. After breakfast, they took the initiative to clean up a room for the two of them. Although it was a mountain village, the room was clean and neat and did not give people any rude feeling.

"Do you want us to sleep in a bed?" Su Chiyan asked.

Su Rui looked at it and shook his head: "Obviously, people treat us as a couple, and there seems to be no other empty room in their family."

"Couple?" When Su Chiyan heard Su Rui say this, her pretty face suddenly turned red. However, she already had a vague expectation for what was about to happen next.

She felt a little regretful.

After all, they may have to set off again tomorrow morning. The time they spend together this day is too short. If they extend the time they spend together in this mountain village to one month, even for a year, I believe Su Chiyan would not feel that there is any problem.

However, Su Chiyan could only think about it, but from then on, this small mountain village will have another more important significance for Su Chiyan.

This is the memory of Su Chiyan and Su Rui, and this is her private collection.

The same sentence is still the same - mountains and seas cannot be balanced.

In fact, Uncle Zhao’s family’s conditions are pretty good. His son and daughter are working outside and sending money back every month. He lives a completely worry-free life.

Today, Su Rui and Su Chiyan came to the house. Uncle Zhao killed a chicken, then put on a large iron pot, and started to burn it with firewood that had just been chopped in the morning.

Su Rui was not polite, rubbed his hands aside and smiled, "This is an authentic rooster stewed with firewood, Chiyan, you have a good time."
