Life in Yunmo is much easier than the boy imagined.
After all, it is the first time to leave home, to self-exile to a new environment, and to be alone. It is impossible not to feel anxious and fearful - the inner soul of a young boy rises in my heart, and I feel as if I am an Ultra who has left his hometown. Man, for the sake of the people in Yuhe Garden, went to this remote place to fight monsters.
But when I got here, I realized that this was not the case at all.
The aura of tenseness and keeping strangers away from me that I had prepared on the way here was not used at all.
There is a kind of inclusiveness mentioned in the book here. It is obviously just an ordinary southern village. The ordinary bamboo mountains, blue sky and breeze... the scenery is not more outstanding than the neighboring villages.
But in such an ordinary place, ordinary people are extremely receptive and do not ask about the past or the future.
After just a week, Xiao Chiyan felt that life seemed smoother and freer than before.
Chi Chenxin helped arrange the school, which was in a town more than an hour's walk from Yunmo.
After all, the journey was far, so Chi Yan chose to live on campus. Every Friday after school, the driver arranged by his grandfather would pick him up from school and take him back to Yunmo.
Although Chi Yan is young, his self-care ability is much higher than that of his peers due to his prodigal father who has been living with him since he was a child. Moreover, there are all kinds of daily necessities in Yunmo's house, so it is not inconvenient to live alone.
Except, he can't cook.
So for three meals a day on weekends, he had to go to Grandma Meng's house by the river at the foot of the mountain.
Before coming to Yunmo, Chi Chenxin told Chi Yan that when he got here, he asked him to find a grandma named "Meng Yiqing".
He didn't say anything else, except that Grandma Meng was his old friend and would help take care of her.
—Not to mention, Grandma Meng’s family also has a granddaughter who plays tricks on cats and dogs and goes to the house to lift tiles. She is the only “little monster” in Yunmo Village.
The child's name was "Tingting" or "Tingting" - Chi Yan didn't know which one. She is clearly only three years old, but she already has quite the aura of a "little bully". She walks around the streets, makes a lot of noise, and often makes the neighbors on blind dates agitated.
Chi Yan has been here for a few weekends, and I have rarely seen her quiet and gentle. Even at this moment, she is sitting on a high chair and eating, but she refuses to place her feet honestly and insists on shaking them to the left. Shake it right to get what you want.
Every inch of his face was filled with happiness, as if he and he were two different species.
The scar on the nine-year-old boy's face was no longer visible. He was holding his rice bowl in a polite manner, observing with some curiosity this happiness that he had not experienced since he was a child.
The little girl had two braids on her head and soft, dull hair on her temples. She stared at the dishes in front of her with bright eyes and her cheeks were bulging.
He doesn't look good when eating, but he has a big appetite.
She doesn’t know how to use chopsticks yet and uses a special enamel spoon for everything she eats.
Perhaps because of greed, the food scooped into the mouth here has not yet been swallowed, but the small spoon over there has been stretched out to scoop out another dish; the tip of the spoon on that side has just scooped up a new dish, and the pointy one on this side The baby teeth have already hurriedly chewed the food in the mouth several times and swallowed it.
- In this vicious cycle, he eats faster and faster, so that Chi Yan often wonders whether the child can taste the food.
