Chapter 60 The heart rains over the mountains and returns to the Zhang family's ancient house

Xinyu and Zhang Qianli took a bus to Dali together, then transferred to a long-distance bus. After four or five hours of long-distance bus ride, they arrived at a small town called Bangui. They got off the bus and Zhang Qianli invited her to eat at a small restaurant.

I had a bowl of noodles with local characteristics. Zhang Qianli felt a little uneasy along the way. With careful attention, Xinyu knew that her hunch was right. Zhang Qianli and his family must live in a remote place.

After dinner, Zhang Qianli said with a smile: "I'm sorry, we have to take a tricycle." When we arrived at the place, Xinyu saw a long row of three-wheeled tricycles parked, and Zhang Qianli chose one that looked relatively new.

He agreed on the price of the tricycle in local dialect. He put his luggage on the car and then helped Xinyu get on the car. After the car started, it bounced along like a dance because Xinyu was prepared in her heart.

She always seemed very calm, so she wanted to see where Zhang Qianli would take her.

After riding a tricycle for more than an hour, they finally arrived at a small village. The car stopped. Zhang Qianli helped her get out of the car, took off her luggage, and paid the fare. Only then did Xinyu realize that the country road had come to an end.

Zhang Qianli smiled and carried all the luggage, holding Xinyu's hand and said: "The journey that can be taken by car has been completed. Now we have to start hiking. Fortunately, you are wearing sports shoes."

Xinyu smiled and said, "Qianli, I'm mentally prepared. Tell the truth, how far do we have to go to get to your home?"

Zhang Qianli said with a smile: "It's just over this hill. Now to tell you the truth, my parents didn't ask me to bring you back. I brought you back specifically to test you. My ex-girlfriend just came to take a look.

, when she wanted to go home in the evening, I sent her to Dali, and she proposed to break up with me."

Xinyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't break up with you. We reporters have never seen anything in the world, and we haven't endured any hardships. We are not afraid of walking on some mountainous roads, so don't worry!"

Thousands of trees in the north were withered, but here the trees were lush, the grass was green, and the scenery was very beautiful. She immediately took some photos and sent them to Yushu, Xinyu, Qingmei and Zihao. Soon she received a message from Yushu, expressing her envy.

, Qingmei and the others sent pictures of the ice and snow scene.

Zhang Qianli introduced the scenery and the names of some plants to her as he walked. They talked while climbing up the mountain. There were already several people waiting for them on the mountain. After saying hello, they took Zhang Qianli's luggage and made Xinyu smile.

Walking at the front, there is a small village at the foot of the mountain, where Zhang Qianli and his family live.

There are old wooden tile-roofed houses and small cement buildings in the small village. Zhang Qianli told Xinyu that the cement and sand were brought up from the mountain by manpower and the cost was very high. Their family still lives in the old house. His grandfather is

The patriarch, so they live in the tallest two-story wooden building.

After walking through the twists and turns of the village path and ascending a set of stone steps, there was an ancient stockade. Zhang Qianli said with a smile: "We are finally here. This is my home."

When they walked into the village, the courtyard was already crowded with people, most of them wearing ethnic minority costumes and some wearing Han costumes. Zhang Qianli's grandparents and parents came out and greeted Xinyu with a smile. Zhang Qianli conducted

Introduce him all the way from his grandparents, to his parents, to his seventh aunt and eighth aunt.

They finally entered the house, went up to the second floor, and entered a clean room. Xinyu was still wearing winter clothes, and her underwear was soaked with sweat.

At this time, Zhang Qianli's mother came in, brought in a bag of clothes, and chattered a few words to Zhang Qianli in the Wa language. Zhang Qianli said to Xinyu: "This is what his grandmother and mother have been driving for three days and three nights.

I made a national costume for Xinyu, his grandmother really hopes that Xinyu can wear the national costume when she goes out to meet guests."

Xinyu smiled and said, "I like these clothes. I am willing to wear these clothes and tell my grandma to thank her and grandma."

Zhang Qianli told her mother what Xinyu said, and her mother smiled happily.

Xinyu said she wanted to scrub her body with hot water, so Zhang Qianli brought her a basin of hot water. After scrubbing her, she put on her underwear. Her mother helped her put on her clothes one by one, and after tying them,

He also put on her a phoenix crown studded with silver ornaments, a wide silver necklace and a silver bracelet engraved with simple patterns.

Zhang Qianli went downstairs and brought up a copper full-length mirror, which was decorated with silver ornaments around it. It was very beautiful. Zhang Qianli smiled and said, "I'm not letting you admire it, I'm letting you look in the mirror."

Xinyu is a Mongolian girl. She looks particularly beautiful wearing a phoenix crown and silver ornaments. Her bright eyes complement the sparkling silver ornaments, making her look particularly beautiful.

Zhang Qianli looked at it and said repeatedly: "It seems that you are born to be the daughter-in-law of our Zhang family." He kissed Xinyu on the face. Xinyu also thought she was very beautiful, so she asked Zhang Qianli to take photos for her, and she posed

I took a lot of photos in various poses and sent them to Yushu and Qingmei. Soon the two beauties asked Xinyu to buy a set for each of them.

Xinyu asked Zhang Qianli if they could buy such clothes here. Zhang Qianli said: "There are some in the town, but there are no handmade ones like the one she is wearing. If they want it, they can ask the old women in the village to make it."

Give me more money." Xinyu asked him how much money he needed.

Zhang Qianli said: "A set like yours costs more than 4,000 just for materials and jewelry, plus 6,000 to 7,000 for handwork. If it is sold, it will be more than 8,000. They must be the same as yours. It is estimated that the minimum cost is 6,700 to 7,000."

Thousand yuan."

Xinyu said: "You ask grandma to ask the old ladies to make it. Money is not a problem. I will buy one set for each of them. There are three sets in total. Yushu, Qingmei and Jiayue each have one set."

A beautiful little girl wearing Wa costume came to call them to come down for dinner. When she saw Xinyu, she was surprised. She stood on the railing on the second floor and shouted a few words in the Wa language. People below were shouting to see the bride. Xinyu said:

"We are not getting married, so how can we become a bride?"

Zhang Qianli said: "Everyone thinks that you are the bride when you come. Go out and let everyone feast their eyes." He took Xinyu's hand and walked to the corridor. Everyone saw Xinyu and gave out a chorus of praise.

She raised her hands to greet everyone. She felt that this moment was the happiest time in her life.

Xinyu was placed in the chairman's seat, accompanied by Zhang Qianli. An old man said a blessing in Wa language. Zhang Qianli's grandfather walked to them. Xinyu and Zhang Qianli quickly stood up. The old man led the audience.

The people sang their clan's blessing song, and then the banquet was opened. The banquet was full of mountain delicacies and wild vegetables, all delicious things that had been treasured for a year. Xinyu was also hungry, and all the dishes Zhang Qianli and others brought her

, Zhang Qianli introduced, she ate and drank two glasses of wine with the elders each. Everyone exaggerated that Qianli had found a good wife. When the banquet was over, Xinyu was a little drunk, and with Qianli's support, he stood at the gate of the village.

After seeing off all the guests, they came back and sat on tall old wooden chairs. The family gathered to take a good look at their daughter-in-law. Grandma and mother each held Xinyu's hand and praised Xinyu's beauty.

Xinyu said thank you and asked Zhang Qianli to bring her big leather bag. After bringing the bag, Xinyu opened the bag. Inside was a pile of 11,100-dollar bills. Xinyu smiled and said: "Grandpa

Grandma, father and mother, we don’t have anything else to be filial to you, so I want to give you a little thought. You can buy some clothes to wear.” She stood up and gave them 10,000 yuan each. The old man said no, saying that Xinyu came to their house, so he should

They gave Xinyu money, and Xinyu told Zhang Qianli that he should persuade the elders to take it.

Zhang Qianli persuaded the elders to accept it, saying that it was because of Xinyu's kindness that the elders accepted it with a smile.

When she went to bed at night, Xinyu thought about the unfamiliar place and was afraid that it would be inconvenient at night. She asked Zhang Qianli to sleep with her, and Zhang Qianli happily agreed. After a while, Zhang Qianli brought the toilet. Xinyu had never used this thing before, and she

Asking Zhang Qianli to take it away, she said that if it was really convenient at night, she would go to the toilet downstairs.

Xinyu was tired, so she took off her clothes and went to bed first. After a long time, Zhang Qianli came in, took off her clothes and went to bed. Xinyu said, "What have you been doing? It took you so long."

Zhang Qianli said he had taken a shower, but Xinyu didn't say anything. Seeing how Zhang Qianli behaved, Zhang Qianli tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at first. After a while, he slowly stretched out his hand and gently held Xinyu in his arms.
