Fortunately, the uncle's goal was to walk towards a sparse house on the hillside, and he had no intention of entering the mountain.

The little girl kept following her, not saying a word.

A little local dog with yellow hair that came towards him made Xiang Tiange feel a little relieved. Judging from the dog's intimacy, it should be his home-raised dog. The yard where the dog ran out of should be his final destination for this trip.

Finally, after trekking all day, Xiang Tiange dragged his tired body to his new home where he was about to spend half a year.

After entering the yard, the yard is really not small, as big as two basketball courts. The low walls are made of stones, three earthen houses, and two sheds against the east wall.

After following Uncle Zhou into the house, Xiang Tiange was not happy with anything. The walls were smoked black, and there were spider webs on the roof. A large earthen kang must be the place to sleep at night. The ground was bumpy and there was no place to sit except for two small stools.

"Damn, how can this make people live?" Xiang Tiange wailed in his heart.

Fortunately, the supper was quite rich, with a stewed local chicken, a stewed fish, a bowl of boiled eggs, and a plate of cold cucumbers. The main food was pancakes.

The little girl gave Xiang Tiange a wash water. Xiang Tiange simply washed a few handfuls, but she didn't bother to take out the towel she brought. She sat at the dining table with water dripping from her face.

There were only two small stools at home. Uncle Zhou took two bricks and placed them on the floor, and sat on them himself.

Xiang Tiange muttered in his heart: "Is this a place where people stay? How did they live for so many years..."

I didn't dare to take the pancake handed over by Uncle Zhou, because his black hands were really disgusting. I pulled a pancake and said, "Uncle, you eat it, I will do it myself." As soon as I took a bite of the pancake, I suddenly realized that the pancake was also made by the uncle...

Uncle Zhou showed a honest smile and praised: "The baby in the city is the director."

Xiang Tiange didn't say anything after hearing this, picked up a chicken leg and took a bite...

"Huh? It tastes good!" Xiang Tiange couldn't help but praise.

"This is the local chicken raised by my family, and the meat is chewy." Uncle Zhou pointed at the fish with chopsticks and said, "Eat more, this fish was caught on the weekend, eat more..." Uncle Zhou would not let someone, but would only say "eat more".

"Catched on weekends?" Xiang Tiange put down his chicken legs, grabbed a bite of fish and muttered, "Don't you allow fishing in normal times? Are you only allowed to fish on weekends?"

The uncle was stunned and said strangely: "Who is it usually? Why don't I know each other?"

Xiang Tiange showed a smile that was ugly than crying and said, "Can you only fish for weekends?"

The uncle said: "You can fish for other children, and you can fish for weekends."

Xiang Tiange blinked, pointed to the little girl sitting next to him and said, "Isn't it her that you are talking about on the weekend, right?"

"Weekend? Her name is weekend?" Xiang Tiange looked at the little girl next to him.

The little girl raised her big black and white eyes and looked at Xiang Tiange, then lowered her eyes.

Uncle Zhou smiled and explained: "The people in the mountains are not educated and cannot name them. The day her sister was born was Monday, it was Monday, and the day she was born was Friday, it was weekend."

"So that's the case. I thought...haha..." Xiang Tiange smiled. This was his first smile since he embarked on the road to exchange students.

"Is this name very scientific? I still said I can't name it..." Xiang Tiange picked his thumbs up at Uncle Zhou.

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "What's science? I'm blind."

......

After dinner, Xiang Tiange was extremely tired and pointed at the big kang and asked, "Where am I sleeping here?"

"Well, the kang is big, you can sleep as you like." Uncle Zhou answered while cleaning up the dishes.

Xiang Tiange now didn't care whether the kang was dirty or not. He took out the mattress, blanket, and pillow he brought, spread it out in two ways, took off his coat, and fell asleep.

......

This is the first time Xiang Tiange has been awakened by the bird's cry. He opened his eyes and took a breath of air that is N times fresher than in the city. Then he stretched his head and turned his head to see Uncle Zhou packing his luggage on the ground.

"Uncle, are you going to go far?" Xiang Tiange asked in confusion.

"Well," Uncle Zhou said with a calm and honest smile, "It's quite far away, go to Guangdong."

After hearing this, Xiang Tiange sat up as soon as he shuddered and asked hurriedly: "When will you leave?"

"Now!" This is the uncle's answer.

Xiang Tiange's head was confused at the time, "What should I do?"

"You? Aren't you doing well?" said the uncle, stuffing some local specialties into a fertilizer bag.

"I mean, what should I do if I have a meal?" Xiang Tiange felt like crying without tears at this time.

Uncle Zhou pointed to the two large jars in the corner of the house and said, "Full rice and wheat, you can eat it openly, enough for a year..."

Xiang Tiange climbed off the kang, pulled his shoes, and came to the rice jar to see that it was not rice, but it still had shells. Wheat? It’s really wheat. It should be able to sprout when planted in the field, right? The problem is that I want to eat white flour?

"Oh, just eat some and crush some. If you crush too much, it is easy to cause insects and you can't save it. My kid, I'm leaving..." Uncle Zhou carried the things and was about to go out.

Xiang Tiange collapsed, rushed to the door, hugged Uncle Zhou's thigh and cried, "Uncle Zhou, you can't leave, what should I do if you leave? There are wolves on this mountain and the yard is haunted..."

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "This kid is talking nonsense. I have traveled all over the mountain and I have never seen a wolf or a wild dog. I have lived in this yard for more than 40 years. Where did the ghost come from?"

Xiang Tiange pointed to a conical building outside the west wall and cried, "Isn't that one the grave? There must be ghosts in the grave. You and that ghost are neighbors. It won't harm you, but I don't know it, and it will be eaten sooner or later... Oh my god... Dad... Uncle..."

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "It's a stone tower, not a grave, where did the ghost come from? I have to leave, my mother is still waiting for me in Guangdong... Let go... My train is going to be delayed... Let go... Let go..."

"Bang!"

Uncle Zhou kicked Xiang Tiange four times and went out with his things.

Xiang Tiange looked at the spider web on the roof with empty eyes and lay on the ground for more than half an hour. Suddenly, a wet and soft tongue licked his face, which scared him to death. He turned his eyes and saw that it was the little yellow dog.

He hugged the dog's head and cried, "Fortunately you didn't leave. You are my only relative..."

After crying for a while, the little yellow dog was impatient to cry. He pressed his paws on his face, pulled out his dog's head and ran out of the door.

Xiang Tiange wiped his tears with the back of his hand, lay there thinking for a while, muttering to himself: "What should I do? Go to the exchange student, I'm quit, go home..."
