I covered Shengmei’s eyes with my handkerchief lest the light make her feel uncomfortable.
Then I walked slowly along the mountain road to my ancestral home.
The grass is light to tread on, and the fragrance of soft wildflowers is also elegant.
Maybe it’s a good thing that Shengmei slept in the past.
Chapter 26 Just don’t.
I came to the waterwheel alone after I settled Shengmei.
This waterwheel was built three years ago before I went to Guangzhou to work. I still remember that it was designed as a pure water truck that relied on water power to drive the axle to achieve water absorption. Later, I discussed with my father that the driving force of the river was not enough, so I added a steering windmill with five blades, all of which were built by myself. It was very hot in June, and I was naked on the grass and was covered with sweat within ten minutes.
Every once in a while, I go to take a dip in the river and go back to the grass to continue my work. After a day’s work, my shoulders will burn and I feel that everything is black when I get home. After I finish the project, I am stripped of several layers of skin.
Three years later, the windmill is still running very often. I stayed by the waterwheel for a long time, about two hours, and I heard the footsteps behind me. Looking back, it was Shengmei.
She changed into a yellow shirt and blue jeans.
I secretly see her face seems to be very often.
Shengmei approached me and said, Is Mr. Fish watching the river?
I said, isn’t miss Shengmei going to rest?
She said, shall we go to the mountains now?
What am I doing in the mountains?
It’s really hard for her to talk about it. We should go back genius, but I’m worried that if we go back tomorrow, we can sit on a late flight and get too tired, it will affect the company workers.
well
Let’s go into the mountains to see our elders. By the way, we can say goodbye to our elders. I’ll change my clothes.
Oh, can you wait for me? It’s too hot. I want to go into the water for a while.
She said yes.
I walked slowly into the water and walked towards the middle of the river step by step.
Shengmei said Mr. Fish should be careful. The river is very fast.
I smiled at her and said, Miss Shengmei, I grew up in this river since I was a child, and now the water is very shallow and the deepest place has flooded my chest.
I didn’t lie to her. When she walked to the middle of the river, the river really flooded my chest. I hugged a huge pebble and waved to her. The swift river rushed by. It was a gift that such a river was soaked in such weather. I held the pebble in my hands for a long time, and finally I was worried that Shengmei would be too sunburned before stumbling back to the shore.
I said, miss Shengmei, let’s not go to see mom and dad. Let’s just go to the car. To be honest, there is no water and I’m not used to living here. I want to go back. The city is where I should stay.
She said, but it’s rude to treat your elders like this
I said they wouldn’t blame it. Let’s go.
I put my wet clothes in the washbasin and left a note for my parents on the fairy table.
The note says, mom and dad, I went back to my hometown. It’s really good. My village is also my ancestral home. I will come back.
In order to prevent the wind from blowing away the note, I took a piece of moyu paperweight and pressed it on the surface.
When I came, the luggage was heavy, and when I left, I had two travel bags. Shengmei carried one on my shoulder and one on my shoulder. When we got to the Teana, we put the bags in the suitcase. Shengmei sat in the back row and lay down comfortably and said that she was really tired. I want to sleep.
I started the car when a smoke rose halfway up the mountain.
The mountain road was built by villagers, and it was very rugged. I drove carefully and worried that it would disturb her for more than two hours before I returned to the bodhi tree.
The breeze blew through the leaves and swayed. I stared at the big tree for about ten seconds and then restarted the car.
After the expressway, the speed rose, and the car ran fast and steadily. The perfume seat didn’t even sway. I looked at Shengmei through the rearview mirror, and she slept soundly. I was relieved.
Take the dark cave, heaven and earth are bright.
