After changing clothes, Li Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Zhiqiang in the front row who had not turned around, with a smile on his face and thought: Fang Zhiqiang is really honest. If he doesn't let him turn around, he will really not turn around.

“Ahem!” Li Xiaoxiao coughed twice.

Fang Zhiqiang still did not turn around, but instead asked: "Are you okay, Xiaoxiao?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "Okay. La!"

Fang Zhiqiang then turned his head, looked at Li Xiaoxiao who had changed his clothes, and then said: "How are you? Did you catch a cold?"

"You I thought they were all as vain as you!" Li Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes at Fang Zhiqiang and said helplessly.

"I..." Fang Zhiqiang was speechless.

Afterwards, Fang Zhiqiang changed his clothes carelessly. He was not as 'scheming' as Li Xiaoxiao. He changed his clothes directly in front of Li Xiaoxiao, then started the car and continued moving forward.

Continuing along this road, because it was really freezing outside in the snow before, Li Xiaoxiao felt much calmer this time, and honestly closed the car window, but It still didn't affect her appreciation of the beautiful scenery outside.

But for Fang Zhiqiang, he drove honestly, occasionally looking at the silver-covered land outside, and felt happy inside.

The car continued to drive forward for more than four hours, and the sky gradually turned to dusk. It gets dark very early in winter. It is only after five o'clock, but it seems that the sky is already gloomy.

Since Fang Zhiqiang had not walked this road before, he was not familiar with the road conditions. In addition, the light was not good, so Fang Zhiqiang no longer chose to continue going, but chose a nearby home. , stepped forward and knocked on the door.

This is a rural area, and every household closes the door very early at night. After eating, they have nothing to do and warm themselves over the fire at home, watch TV, and then get ready to go to bed.

At this moment, it was their time to eat.

"Who is it?" A girl who looked about eighteen years old opened the wooden door.

"Hello, we are passing by here. It is dark and we are not particularly familiar with the road conditions here, so we are thinking of setting off again tomorrow. I would like to stay at your place for one night, okay? Really?" Fang Zhiqiang stepped forward, looked at the girl, and said politely.

When the girl heard the words, she did not speak, but looked back at the upper room. An old man in his seventies came out of the upper room with a cigarette bag in his hand. He saw Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly waved: "Come in quickly, come in quickly!"

After receiving the old man's warm invitation, a sincere smile appeared on Fang Zhiqiang's faceRong, then turned around and carefully took Li Xiaoxiao's hand, crossing the threshold.

"Young man, where are you going?" Entering the house and gathering around the stove, the old man tapped the cigarette pouch in his hand on his shoes, and then looked at Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao asked.

The old man in the countryside looks very old when he is over 70 years old. Not only do he have many wrinkles on his face, but almost all the teeth in his mouth are falling out, and the furnishings in the house are also very old. Simple, the only modern thing is the 21-inch color TV on the table.

This TV seems to be the most valuable thing in the whole house.

"Uncle, we are out for fun, and our destination is Beihai. When we passed here, it happened to be dark. We were not familiar with this place, and we didn't dare to drive in the dark. I just disturbed you." Fang Zhiqiang said politely.

"Beihai? Why go to a place like that in the middle of winter?" When the old man heard Fang Zhiqiang's words, he opened his mouth in surprise. After being stunned for a moment, he spoke.

"Yes, mainly my wife wants to go to that place to relax. I happen to be not too busy at work recently, so we went out to have fun together." Fang Zhiqiang continued to say with a smile.

"Oh..."

The old man then turned his attention to Li Xiaoxiao. After looking up and down for a long time, he smiled and said: "Haha, when I look at you They are city people. Nowadays, city people have better living conditions and want to go out to play when they have nothing to do. Unlike us, we have never been out of this village in our lives."

The old man said When he said these words, there was an obvious look of loneliness on his face.

It can be seen that he actually wants to go out for a walk. It may be because he did not have the opportunity when he was young, or it may be due to other reasons that he has never been able to go out. It seems that It was a regret in his heart.

"Uncle, where do you want to go? Otherwise, I will take you out for a walk tomorrow? Don't worry, we will be responsible for your food and accommodation." Fang Zhiqiang said with a sincere face .

In fact, Fang Zhiqiang has always had a very good impression of rural people. Perhaps because he was also born in a rural area, rural people always feel so simple and kind to Fang Zhiqiang.

Including Li Xiaoxiao, he has always liked to interact with simple rural people.

Today, I received a warm invitation from the old man. For Fang Zhiqiang, taking him out for a walk would be a reward for this trip if he could fulfill one of his old dreams. .

However, the old man rejected Fang Zhiqiang, waved his hand and said: "Haha, I won't go out. I am getting old and my health is not good.Yes, but..."

When the old man said this, he suddenly paused, and then looked at the girl of about eighteen years old who had been silent.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao also turned to look at the girl.

The girl looked very shy. After noticing the gazes of Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao, she immediately Just lowered his head, very shy.

“But what? Sir, just say it. "Fang Zhiqiang knew that the old man had not finished what he said, so he immediately said again.

"Haha, it's nothing. By the way, have you eaten? There are only two of us in our family, my granddaughter and I. We just have a simple meal for dinner. There is nothing delicious. If you don’t have anything to eat, how about just doing it? "The old man looked at Fang Zhiqiang again and said with a sincere face.

"We have eaten, sir, you don't have to work anymore. "Fang Zhiqiang waved his hand, but he didn't actually eat it, but after looking at the simple furnishings in the room, Fang Zhiqiang said.

"Girl, go get the sweet potatoes cooked yesterday and let the guests Eat some. "The old man looked at his granddaughter and said.

The girl did not speak, she stood up silently and walked towards the back room that was covered by a curtain.

The curtain is white, with a simple embroidered pattern on it. It is already dark, especially on both sides, where it is often lifted up by hands.

After a while, The girl came out carrying a wooden basin with a few cold, cooked sweet potatoes in it.

"Haha, I'm old and I don't have much farming at home. It's going to be winter this year. , I planted a field of sweet potatoes. This year’s sweet potatoes are quite good. Try them, they are quite sweet. "The old man smiled happily, took out two sweet potatoes from the wooden basin, and handed them to Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao respectively.

Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao took the sweet potatoes one after another. They were very cold, but Still smiling happily on his face: "Thank you, uncle! "

"Don't be in a hurry to eat it. Put the sweet potatoes on this stove and roast them. Eat them when they are hot. "The old man picked up an iron rod next to the stove and waved it on the stove surface a few times, as if he wanted to clear away the dust.

Of course, the iron rod cannot be cleaned.< br />
Seeing this, Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao both smiled and put the sweet potatoes on top.

The old man then said again: "Actually, when I was young, I wanted to go out. Look at the world outside, ugh...what a pity..."

"What's wrong, sir? If you have anything on your mind, you can share it with us. "Does Fang Zhiqiang know what the old man said?After finishing speaking, looking at the way he sighed, Fang Zhiqiang was also curious about what he was like when he was young.

"Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. When I think of my youth, it was a long, long time ago..." The old man slowly raised his head and fell into a trance. recall.
