After the sumptuous and mountainous and wild lunch, Chen Xiang's parents moved a small square table under the eaves to the center of the yard, made tea, and piled up a table of melon seeds and peanuts, candies and fruits on the small square table. Wang Bo, Chen Xiang's father Chen Zixin, and three old and young men, moved outside the house. Under the warm sun in the winter afternoon, they continued to chat and talk in the light breeze in the mountains.

A few young and old women stayed to clean up the dishes and clean the main hall.

During the chat, Wang Bo slowly learned about the source of income of Chen Xiang's family. The main income of the family came from Chen Zixin going out to do odd jobs, but in order to take care of her family, her father did not dare to stay away from home. He usually went to the town and county to find work. There were very few jobs in the town and county, and he couldn't afford the price. He worked for three days and two days, so his income was very limited.

When my father went out, my mother would take care of the family and young at home, and serve the seven or eight acres of slopes on the back mountain with her grandparents. During the busy farming season, two little girls, Chen Xiang and Chen Bing, also went to the fields to help, plant, harvest, and do what they can.

In addition to serving the farmland, the elderly, weak and weak women and children who stayed at home would also go to the mountains to find some mountain goods, hunt, or collect them according to the principle of relying on the mountains and water. Chen Xiang's grandfather had his ancestors' bows and arrows. He was an old hunter. He ate pheasants and rabbits at noon. Every year, Chen Xiang dragged a box of wild game to the city, which is all masterpieces of Mr. Chen. Although the old man was not flexible with one leg, he still had experience and had full arrows. Every time he entered the mountain, he gained more or less.

The family ate less wild game they harvested, and most of them were taken to the town by Chen Xiang's mother Song Chun'e to exchange for money. Part of the money they exchanged for subsidies for family income, while the other part was taken to medicine. Chen Xiang's grandmother had chronic bronchitis and needed some Chinese herbal medicine for many years to raise.

During the chat between Chen Zixin and Mr. Chen, Wang Bo gradually outlined the daily life of Chen Xiang's whole family for decades. How can the family work diligently in this valley, fight against God, and make a living. Wang Bo can see from Chen Xiang that the family is not lazy, hardworking, simple, and not bowing to fate. However, in a society where background determines fate and background can better influence the future, how hard work and hard work, hide in the mountains and forests for the rest of their lives, isolate from the world, and achievement is very limited. Then, there are a little twists and turns, such as Chen Xiang's grandfather had an accident when he was young, and the fate of the whole family changed, and he has been struggling on the poverty line for decades.

Wang Bo didn't know what the fate of the family in his previous life was. Even if the whole family worked hard, it would be difficult for a college student to fundamentally change the financial conditions of the family. Those who study Russian have a narrow way out, and Chen Xiang's personality is not the kind of competitive person. Even if she stays in a big city, buying a house alone will make her unable to feed her family for more than ten or twenty years. It would be fine if she found a rich man, but if her partner is also average and stingy, Chen Xiang, a college student, can help even less.

But rich men are even scarce than beautiful women, and they are so easy to find?

During the chat, Wang Bo learned that Chen Xiang's father did not always work for others, and he also did business by himself. For example, when she was in middle school, her whole family borrowed money to open a small restaurant in the town. With the affordable price and delicious taste, the business was once good, and it directly made the business of the two restaurants next door desert deserted.

The colleagues are enemies, so they are naturally not convinced. The brother-in-law of one of the bosses works in the police station and finds a few gangsters to make trouble every few days, and eats nothing but pays for money. Chen Xiang's grandfather is so angry that he just wants to shoot the lawless second-rate boys. The Chen family is an outsider in Liujia Village, and it has nothing to do with it. After this trouble, the business gradually fails. He quickly closes the door and still has a lot of debts.

After this trouble, Chen Xiang's father lost his impulse and blood heat when he was young. He was discouraged and continued to work as a worker.

Chen Xiang never told his family's misfortune, and Wang Bo sighed. At the same time, Chen Xiang's ability to make good dishes seems to be "the origin of family learning."

If it were other people, Wang Bo would listen to these families, but Wang Bo could not stand by the misfortune of his woman's family. He thought that in history, C Foreign Affairs would transform the commercial streets next year, bringing together several small restaurants and snack shops, and there would be more stalls than before, and he would also attract investments. At that time, he could ask relevant leaders from C Foreign Affairs to ask for a shop, so that Chen Xiang's father would return to his old business and get up wherever he fell.

However, there is no hurry to do this, and there is no need to say it now. When the summer vacation next year, he greeted him and asked him to discuss it with Chen Xiang. With Chen’s father and mother’s skills, and the business of not worrying about customers in the closed environment of the school, not only will Chen Xiang’s family’s economic conditions be greatly improved, but his sister-in-law Chen Bing can also receive a high school from Shuangqing. The teaching level of Qingmu Town’s rural middle school is still very different from that in Shuangqing city.

Wang Bo accompanied Chen's father and Chen's grandfather for a while. Soon, several young and old women who had finished housework also walked out with small stools, surrounded Wang Bo, and started the tea party after dinner. When the host was enthusiastic and thoughtful, when the guests were able to talk, they could talk about everything. It was easy to say that the whole family was happy and leisurely.

After sitting in the yard for about an hour or two, at three o'clock, Chen Xiang suggested taking Wang Bo to the mountain and visit the place where she had lived for more than 20 years.

When Wang Bo saw that the whole family was with him, he felt a little embarrassed. He was also curious about the growth environment of the two sisters, so he accepted it happily.

So, under the leadership of Chen Xiang and his sister-in-law Chen Bing, in the afternoon, Wang Bo followed the two sisters to the surrounding mountains and forests.

Chen Xiang's home is deep in this mountain. Starting from the back door, following a weedy path, crossing a ridge, the landscape in front of him changes.

I saw that under the ridge was a valley called "Beauty Stream" by the two sisters. At one end of the valley was a small waterfall, flowing down from a few dozen meters high, like a white horse, forming a deep pool of two or three meters square below. The water of the pond was winding along a stream and flowed happily to the distance.

On both sides of the valley are forests full of colors, looking at the endless green mountains. Looking up at the sky, the clear sky in winter afternoon is blue, clean, and boundless, as if it has been washed.

Under the leadership of his sister-in-law Chen Bing, the three of them rushed down the mountain path like a whirlwind, and soon arrived at the bottom of the valley. Wang Bo looked up and saw that the stream was clear and the waves were rugged, and there was a golden-like sunlight flashing on the water.

The three of them flowed up to the "Beauty Pond" where the two sisters often went. Chen Xiang told Wang Bo that every summer, she and her sister would come here to take a shower.

"Take a bath? Xiangxiang, aren't you afraid of encountering voyeurism?" Wang Bo couldn't help but see two beauties, one big and one small, swimming around under the waterfall like mermaids. He felt regretful and regretted that it was not the time.

"Where are there any voyeurism? There are no people nearby." Chen Xiang gave her a blank look.

"There is no voyeurism, then are you not afraid of any wild beasts?" Wang Bo asked again.

"Gee, Brother Bo, the biggest beasts in the mountains near my house are pheasants, rabbits, and snakes, and there are no other large animals!" Chen Bing, who was walking in front, giggled and explained to Wang Bo. The two pigtails on her head and the red down jacket, jumping under the shattered sunlight above her head, was like a deer in the forest, and like an elf bred from nature.

After walking along the small road by the stream full of dead branches and leaves for about a quarter of an hour, we arrived at the "Beauty Pond" in the mouths of the two sisters.

This "Beauty Pond" is not big, and the widest part is only two or three meters in radius, probably not very deep. There are many stones beside the pool, and there is also a huge rock with a flat top as large as a millstone.
