Chapter 129 Looking for Grandpa Kong Yunxiang
Under the watchful eyes of three people, Liu Chen finally finished the noodles.
After eating the noodles and washing the basin, Liu Chen took out some fruits: "Everyone, let's eat."
Everyone ate the bananas and apples that Liu Chen brought last time. They knew about bananas and apples, but they really didn’t know what these red ones were.
Gu Wanjun looked at the red fruit on the table, which was inlaid with yellow and green scaly calyxes. It was as beautiful as a lotus flower that was about to burst open, or like a blazing ball. She carefully put the red things on the table.
I held it in my hand, but I didn’t know how to eat it.
I held a red dragon fruit in my hand and looked at it again and again. I didn't dare to eat it, and I didn't know where to eat it.
Liu Chen took the dragon fruit from Gu Wanjun's hand and said with a smile: "This is a red heart dragon fruit, a tropical fruit, very sweet."
When they heard that this was a tropical fruit, they all looked at Liu Chen eagerly. This is so awesome. You can get tropical fruits. It’s really cool.
But how to eat it stumped everyone. Everyone eagerly waited for Liu Chen to demonstrate how to eat it and where to eat it.
Liu Chen peeled off the skin of the dragon fruit and ate directly to the red flesh inside.
Liu Chen ate until his mouth was full of red, as if he had eaten a dead child, and Gu Wanjun laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward.
Wang Xiong didn't care, just took a dragon fruit and ate it like Liu Chen did. Not to mention, it was really sweet.
Chen Yadong took a mango and took a bite. The outside was a bit astringent, but the inside was so sweet.
"Pfft!" Liu Chen laughed. Chen Yadong didn't wash or peel it, so he just started eating it.
"Don't eat the outer skin, eat the meat inside."
Liu Chen told Chen Yadong to peel off the outer skin before eating it.
Several people ate some fruits, and Liu Chen divided the fruits into several portions and asked them to take them back to his family to taste later.
Chen Yadong took some fruits and beef and pulled the cart back.
Liu Chen told Wang Xiong and Gu Wanjun that he wanted to find Wang Xiong's grandma's childhood sweetheart and fulfill her grandma's long-cherished wish.
The two people agreed very much. Liu Chen thought to himself that everyone would be happy if they found it. Even if they couldn't find it, it could only be a fate.
The three of them rode their bikes, took the fruit and went to Wang Xiong's house first, and then went to find out the specific address and some information about grandma's childhood sweetheart.
Liu Chen took Gu Wanjun with him, and Wang Xiong rode his own car, and soon arrived at Wang Xiong's house.
"Brother, Brother Chen, Sister Gu is here."
Here Wang Ying was still weaving bamboo baskets and greeted them, and they walked straight to grandma's room.
"Grandma, we are here."
Before reaching the room, Gu Wanjun shouted.
Grandma heard Gu Wanjun's voice and sat up. Wang Xiong put a pillow against her back.
Grandma was still smiling and amiable as usual. When she saw everyone coming, she smiled and said: "You are here, Xiongzi, hurry up and bring the stools."
Gu Wanjun peeled the dragon fruit she brought and handed it to her grandma. She said with a smile: "Grandma, this is the tropical fruit that Brother Liu Chen got. It's delicious, tight and sweet. You can try it."
Grandma wanted to push her away, but she couldn't bear Gu Wanjun's soft touch.
In the end, grandma had to take two bites: "Okay, delicious, sweet."
"Grandma, if you like it, I will bring it to you in the future." Liu Chen looked at grandma and said with a smile.
"Children, you all eat, all of you eat"
Liu Chen looked at his grandma, and he thought of his grandma. His grandma was as amiable as Wang Xiong's grandma, and she always kept the best things for herself. Every time he made a mistake, he always ran behind his grandma, and she was there to protect him.
With.
When he was in high school, his grandma got sick. Because of the college entrance examination, her grandma asked her family to hide it. Until her death, Liu Chen never saw her for the last time.
After the college entrance examination, Liu Chen returned home and learned that his grandma had passed away long ago.
Liu Chen was sad and annoyed, but no matter how many times he cried in front of his grandma's grave, his grandma could no longer smile at him, hug him and say, "My eldest grandson has grown taller again."
My father later said that my grandma was very troubled before she died. She wanted to see her grandson so much that she went crazy, but she told everyone not to delay her grandson's college entrance examination or distract him.
Later, grandma looked at the door and suddenly told everyone that she saw that his eldest grandson Liu Chen had been admitted to college, got married and had children, and finally closed his eyes with a smile.
Not seeing his grandma for the last time became Liu Chen's lifelong pain and regret.
Liu Chen thought to himself that if his grandma were still alive, she would be the same age as Wang Xiong's grandma, be as amiable, smile and leave all the delicious food to her grandson.
"Grandma, come and eat a mango. This one is also very sweet."
Grandma smiled, her wrinkled face unobstructed by her kindness: "Okay, they are all my good grandchildren."
Liu Chen seemed to see his own grandmother, with such a kind face and gentle words.
After a long time, Liu Chen told his grandma that he wanted to help his grandma find Grandpa Kong Yunxiang. Suddenly, he heard that the children wanted to help him find him. Grandma was very surprised, her eyes shone, and then she lowered her head and sighed: "Yes."
I don’t know if he is still alive? I don’t know if I will ever see him again in this life.”
Grandma's eyes are full of vicissitudes and expectations, full of memories and hopes.
"Grandma, we will try our best to find him for you."
Wang Xiong held Grandma's hand and looked at Liu Chen. He felt that Liu Chen would definitely be able to find her. He always felt that Liu Chen had this ability.
Since he followed Liu Chen, he no longer had to worry about food or clothing, and his life was getting better day by day. He always felt that Liu Chen had some kind of magical power, otherwise, he could actually see the dragon fruit and mango that he had never seen in the county.
You can get it, as well as the sandals, watermelons, lighters, watches... These are not something that just anyone can get, and there are a lot of them once you get them.
"Grandma, we will definitely find it." Gu Wanjun took her grandma's hand and nodded vigorously.
Grandma told everyone that Grandpa Kong Yunxiang used to live in a mountain. The mountain was called Yaogou Mountain, also known as Mihun Ridge. The rugged mountain road was difficult to walk. There were often wolves in the mountain, which was very dangerous. Grandma told them that they should not go there.
.After all, whether they can be found or not is a question. If a few children are injured again, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Several people were very excited and said that they would be careful. Liu Chen also brought electric batons and other tools, saying that he must go. He also brought some dry food, fruits, kettles, etc.
Grandma looked at the children's determination and asked Wang Xiong to take out a wooden moon pendant from the wooden box and let them take it with them. This was a token of love given to grandma by Grandpa Kong Yunxiang.
Wang Xiong brought the home-made gun and machete, and the others set out in high spirits.
The three of them sat in a carriage for five or six hours, walked for several hours, climbed over two mountains, and finally arrived at Yaogou Mountain.
Looking at the mountains in front of him, the rolling green hills stretched one after another, extending into the distance and disappearing into the confused twilight. Liu Chen was in trouble. He must not live in the mountains tonight. If he encounters a raptor or something, please explain. It's all over in the mountains.
I wanted to find a place to stay, but found that I didn't meet anyone after walking for a long time.
As the sun set in the west, we had to find a place to stay quickly. Liu Chen thought to himself, otherwise, it would be rare to meet a few people on the road. As the sun set in the west, Liu Chen and the others were a little anxious. If they couldn't reach Yaogou Mountain on the other side of the mountain tonight, In Moon Village, we can only sleep outdoors in this deep mountain.
The three of them quickened their pace and continued walking forward.
"Look, this is a peach tree. If there is a peach forest here, there must be someone's house in front of it."
Liu Chen pointed at the vast peach forest and shouted, as if he saw hope.
Liu Chen thought to himself, there must be a family on the other side of the peach tree forest. It would be okay to just stay with them today and give them some money.
Not far away, he saw a mushroom house with a roof and bamboo strips and mud walls. Liu Chen was overjoyed and shouted happily: "Look, there is a home there."
The three people were very happy and continued to walk forward.
Not long after, I saw a man wearing a collarless top with the right placket open, buttons made of silver coins, and fat trousers. There were several colorful laces on the shoulders, placket, cuffs and trouser legs, and the waistcoat was decorated with Make a border with flowers, put the braid on the top of the head, and wrap the head with blue cloth.
Carrying a basket on his back, he was picking up mushrooms. When he saw the three of them, Liu Chen, he smiled and nodded.
Liu Chen and the others walked up to him, nodded and said, "We are looking for someone, but it's too late. We want to stay at your house, and we'll pay for it. Is that okay?"
The old woman smiled, as if she didn't understand what Liu Chen said, and just looked at Liu Chen with a smile.
Liu Chen thought to himself, it's over, it's over, people can't understand and can't communicate.
At this time, I saw the old woman looking in the direction of the house and saying something. Not long after, I saw a rosy-faced, sweet-looking girl in her late teens running over. The old woman said something to the girl, and I saw The little girl looked at Liu Chen and the others with a smile: "Hello, do you want to stay here?"
Liu Chen was stunned. This girl can speak Chinese, which is great.
Liu Chen and the others nodded repeatedly. The little girl said something to the old woman. The old woman nodded. The little girl called Liu Chen and the others into the room.
When we came to the living room, there was a table made of bamboo. The girl sat on a bamboo stool and poured tea for the three of them. Hani people generally drink fresh tea. When you drink it, it has a bitter taste, but it can Very good to relieve heat and quench thirst.
The girl introduced herself. Her name was given by her grandfather and was called "Bo Ying". Her mother's name was given by her mother's grandmother and was called Pi Song. Her father died of illness many years ago. They were not from here before, they were fleeing famine. Came here.
Liu Chen and the others also introduced themselves respectively.
Here, Boying's mother has already started cooking dinner.
The Hani people are relatively hospitable. When guests come to their home, they will treat them warmly.
Liu Chen and the others were drinking tea, and Bo Ying was about to help her mother cook, but her mother kicked her out and asked her to accompany the three guests.
Soon, I saw Boying's mother preparing the meal and placing it on the bamboo dining table.
Liu Chen took a look and saw that the food was really rich. Bo Ying introduced each dish, which was bamboo tube chicken, fried bamboo worms, bee pupa sauce, pickled banana hearts, stir-fried muntjac meat with sour bamboo shoots, meat floss sauce, and olives in clear soup.
Fish, crab stewed with egg white, boiled snake dumplings, etc.
