The sky was just bright, the morning light was slightly dew, and the mountains in the distance showed their ink-colored outlines.

The mountains are hazy, the trees are hazy, and the small house deep in the forest is getting even hazier.

A simple small courtyard with a fence and four small tile-roofed houses became a home.

"Oh...oh..." A rooster crowed in the yard.

"Chong'er, get up, you have to go to the city today!"

Zhang Zhong rubbed his sleepy eyes, got dressed, opened the door and saw his father sitting under the plane tree in front of the door, smoking a cigarette.

Years of traveling to the mountains and countryside, traveling around and treating people, made my father's back even more rickety.

"Dad!" Zhang Zhong called out. Thinking that he had left home and had to wait half a year for the next time he called his father, he felt a little sad.

Father Zhang nodded with satisfaction, knocked out the sparks in the cigarette rod on the floor, and walked towards the stove: "Go and see if your mother has packed everything!"

"Mom, are your things ready? It's time to leave. If you're late, you won't be able to catch the train."

"Hurry! You know how to hurry! You are traveling far away this time. You can only come back every ten days and a half in the county, so you need to prepare more things! What if you get hungry on the way? Things on the train are so expensive.

It’s time.” Mother Zhang is frying peanuts.

Zhang Zhong's family used an earthen stove made of adobe bricks. Two pieces of firewood were burned in the stove, and a large iron pot was placed on the stove.

A large amount of iron sand poured with copper oil was put into the pot. Mother Zhang quickly turned over the peanuts in the pot with the shovel in her hand. The oil smoke made her almost unable to open her eyes.

"Mom, at this juncture, why are you preparing these things? There is nothing in the city? Will your precious son starve to death?" Zhang Zhong reached for a few hot peanuts in the pot and said as he ate them.

Mom’s fried peanuts are delicious.”

"Humph! That's of course. Only my mother feels sorry for her son. How can any child feel sorry for her mother? If I don't feel sorry for her, who does? Your dad bought you a ticket and gave you a hundred yuan. What's going on in the city?

We have them all, so why do we have to be rich? Does he understand the market? How much does it cost to have a meal out for dozens of dollars? You are really an old man. You don’t know how to open up at all."

After finally waiting for Zhang's mother to pack her things and lock the door, the family of three left the house.

Zhang Zhong looked at his mother holding two large bags and couldn't laugh or cry.

The three of them walked dozens of miles, and Zhang Zhong asked her mother several times to put down her bag. She refused to do anything. She said that she couldn't wash her son's clothes when they got to the city. It would be good to carry the bag now. Her son has grown up.

Once your wings become stiff, you will no longer recognize your mother...

When we got to the platform, Mother Zhang kept nagging: Son, don't fight with others when you go to the city. We country people can't fight with the city people. Mom will pack some food for you, and you can keep it for the road. When we get to the city

Remember to ask Principal Zhang to call me..."

Zhang's mother explained the travel arrangements with sincerity, while Zhang's father stood silently like a mountain in a busy station.

"Mom, stop talking, the train is coming." Zhang Zhong interrupted his mother's nagging.

"You're not going out this time for ten days and a half, but for half a year! I've seen the wall calendar. Today is the seventh. I won't go out for seven days and won't come home for eight days. I don't know what you think. Think about how long this day is.

Geely, why don't we go back?" Zhang's mother was quite critical of traveling.

"Go back? I bought the ticket! Can I still go back? I know you don't want your son to leave. But if you can delay it for a day, can you delay it for a lifetime?" Zhang Zhong interrupted his mother's nagging.

"I don't know what your father thinks. The eldest son was sent to the army, and the younger son was sent to the city. What are you trying to do?" Mother Zhang started sobbing as she spoke, her wrinkled hands moving randomly.

Wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

What are you planning? Father Zhang watched his son get on the train and murmured: "There has never been a coward in my old Zhang family!"

"Chong'er, remember to ask the principal to call when you get to school..." Mother Zhang's voice was drowned by the roaring train.

"This is Chong'er's first trip away from home, so don't worry..." Zhang's mother said, looking at her son's back.

"You have such a good son, so what's wrong with letting him study in the county town? Is the city really that good?" Mother Zhang was full of complaints when she thought about her son leaving her in a strange city.

"Old lady, don't worry, Niuniu will protect Zhong'er! Besides, with Zhong'er's skill and medical skills, he can also be successful in Liyang City. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so we don't need to worry too much." Father Zhang put his arm around his wife's shoulders.

said.

"It's broken!" Zhang's mother said in shock, "I'm going to give it to Zhong'er when he gets in the car for the hundred yuan you gave me. I'm afraid that he might lose it on the road and forget about it while talking to you.

Whatever happened, it’s all your fault!”

Zhang Zhong put his luggage on his shoulders and found his own seat: a seat next to the aisle. As soon as he sat down, he felt something in his pants bag.

He took it out and saw that it was a slingshot made of pear wood. This was a treasure he had hunted on the mountain. His mother said she would not let him fight outside, but she forced this thing on him. Old people are always so duplicitous.

The mountains and rivers along the road made him excited. The train stopped at a small station.

He crossed his legs, looked at the mountains whizzing past, and sighed: "Finally we have left the nooks and crannies of the mountains where birds can't poop."

"It's okay, what are you doing? I borrowed it!" Just as he was getting excited, someone poured a basin of cold water on him.

Zhang Zhong looked up at the speaker dejectedly, and turned to stone in the next second.

A sunhat covered her eyes, a touch of sadness appeared on her delicate and pretty face, and her slender legs inadvertently touched Zhang Zhong's legs.

"If not, get out of the way!" She frowned slightly and scolded.

So fierce. Zhang Zhong couldn't help but think of a saying spread in the valley: Women in the city are tigers.

The silky touch felt like an electric current hitting Zhang Zhong's heart. He had never seen a girl with such thin skin and tender flesh. Which girl in the mountains didn't have a sallow complexion, as if she hadn't eaten pork in a few days and hadn't been moisturized?

How is it like this "fierce Baba", whose skin is as tender as water and so beautiful? I couldn't help but take a second look.

"What are you looking at! Look again! Dig out your eyeballs!" The woman sat down next to Zhang Zhong, raised two slender jade fingers, and said fiercely with a fierce look in her eyes.

Isn't it just Fierce Baba or Sun Erniang? Isn't it just for a look? Isn't she going to lose two ounces of meat? Zhang Zhong moved his eyes away and dozed out of boredom. This sleep lasted for several hours.

"Dear passengers and friends! Hello everyone, we have arrived at the terminal station - Liyang City. Please take your salute and prepare to get off. Welcome to train No. 8989. I wish everyone a happy journey!" the sweet voice of the conductor rang.

Zhang Zhong opened his eyes and looked around him. But "Sun Erniang" was already asleep.

"Wake up!"

After a long while, there was no answer. Zhang Zhong took a closer look and saw that there were five loaches scurrying in her throat. She couldn't help being shocked: Loach Gu.

"We need to find a place to detoxify." Zhang Zhong carried her off the train, passed through the crowded crowd, and exited the platform when he saw a woman sitting under a rental notice.
