Demolition Earth

Chapter 19 Little Romance

This village is distributed along a river. There are two bridges from the entrance to the end of the village. One is an old bridge named Guanyin Bridge.There is also a new, serious viaduct, and trucks will be seen passing by from time to time.The distance between the two bridges is about 2000 meters. Every time she passes by, Du Yan likes to stand on one bridge, stare at the other bridge in a daze, and then say that she wants to recite two lines of poems.

"The desert is solitary and the smoke is straight, the long river is setting the sun!"

What is it all about? Zhao Changqi raised his head and looked into the distance. He couldn't see a grain of sand, and of course he couldn't see cooking smoke in this age.Looking at the top of the head again, it is still seven or eight hours before the sunset.

"Where's the long river? Where's the setting sun? Where's the desert?" Zhao Changqi complained boredly.

"Reciting poems is not about the content, but about the state of mind," Du Yan said disdainfully, "If you have a feeling, even if it's 12345, going up the mountain to fight tigers, it's still a good poem."

It's really middle 2. Zhao Changqi thought that this kind of disease would heal naturally like pimples when he entered university.It seems that there is no such good thing in the world.

The current rural areas are all small courtyards, and many vegetables of various colors are planted nearby. Walking along the way is like passing a vegetable market.There are many Zhao Changqis who don’t know each other, but Du Yan said to herself: “Eggplants, peppers, leeks… I’ll test you, do you know what they are?” Du Yan pointed to a few stalks of foxtail grass on the ground.

Zhao Changqi pretended to be stupid on purpose: "What?"

But Du Yan saw through it at a glance, took a look at him, went to pick one off, and played with it in her hand.After a while, the subject suddenly changed again: "Why doesn't anyone grow bitter melon?"

"Because I'm afraid of being hacked to death." Zhao Changqi complained, every time there is bitter melon in the cafeteria, there will be such remarks.

I passed many houses along the way, 10 of the 8 were empty, and no one lived there.This point can be seen by looking at the small courtyard at the entrance. No one lives there, the weeds are as tall as a person, and the couplets at the entrance can only see a few sparse words.Occasionally, I encountered a few rooms that seemed to be occupied by people, but no one could be seen.It's just that occasionally when passing a window, you can hear the sound of people watching TV inside.

Turning a corner and seeing two big cedar trees, the two finally saw an old lady waving to them, probably the landlord they had just contacted.

The old lady has two houses in the village, which are owned by her two sons, but both sons have bought houses in the city now, and the countryside has not been demolished for the time being, so she let her look at them.This kind of remote village was not expected to be rented out at first, and the rental advertisement had been posted for more than half a year. When contacted by the phone, the old lady almost forgot about it.

"Originally I didn't plan to rent it, but such a big house is vacant even if it's empty. It's old and uninhabited, and it's gloomy. I don't dare to come here at ordinary times. You young people are full of yang, so it's just right to live in it," said one side. Introducing the house to them, the old lady babbled, her accent sounded like Fu Rong’s, but Zhao Changqi was not sure—he still didn’t even know where this place was, “This is the kitchen, the rice cooker, the gas stove, all There are ready-made ones on Gas Street. This is the living room, complete with tables, chairs and benches. It was made when my eldest son got married, and I haven’t used it a few times. And here, the bedroom, although no one has lived in it for a long time, it is still clean Clean, I will come to clean it every half a month. This balcony faces south, and you can also dry clothes. Look at this clothes rack, it is still automatic..."

Zhao Changqi didn't care about these things, but just asked, "Is there an Internet?" Before he knew it, he had been disconnected from the Internet for more than ten hours, and he felt like a fish out of water, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"What net?" The old lady looked at him.

"Broadband," Zhao Changqi emphasized. Seeing that she still didn't understand, he added, "Internet on the computer."

"Oh, yes, yes...but you have to pay for it at the telecom bureau...Young people don't have access to the Internet..."

"Yes, it's not good for young people to surf the Internet. You are addicted to the Internet. You get electricity." Du Yan was very satisfied with this, and she turned to warn Zhao Changqi, "You might be wanted now! How dare you go online? I The SIM card was pulled out."

Zhao Changqi seemed to have been stabbed to death, and fell on the bed with a whimper.

Du Yan followed the old woman and looked up and down the two floors of small buildings.There was no noise around at all, Zhao Changqi was lying on the bed, and they could hear them clearly.

"You're just married, right? When this house was first built, someone did the calculations, saying that it's easier for couples to have sons if they live together."

Hey, give birth to a son.Zhao Changqi smirked.

"...Auntie, can we just rent the first floor? There are so many rooms here that we can't live there. Let's just rent the second floor, and at most we can use the kitchen below..."

"Look at my house, I don't even have a door... It's a rent as much as you want... It's only a few hundred dollars... Look at these furniture, they are all new..."

Zhao Changqi also felt that there were too many rooms, um, it would be better to have a single room... Hey, after thinking about it, the word leukemia popped up again, which made him excited and guilty.

When the two of them came down from upstairs, the price was basically negotiated. Of course, the rent cannot be compared with Ningzhou. Such a large two-story building only costs a few hundred yuan, and there is also a half bottle of free gas for use. There is also a small field to grow flowers by oneself - this kind of life, if it is in Ningzhou, it will cost dozens of times.But it can probably be guessed how far this place is.

In the countryside, there is no contract or non-contract. The two parties wrote a simple receipt, and after paying four months' rent in advance according to the rules, the right to use the house temporarily belonged to them.When Du Yan sent the old lady out, Zhao Changqi still couldn't believe it.

"Hey," Du Yan came back, looked at Zhao Changqi who was lying on the bed and said, "This is my room now!"

Zhao Changqi moved lazily, but didn't get up: "What about my room?"

"You can choose others... but this is the one downstairs, haha, I went upstairs just now, it's so hot!"

"Can't I turn on the air conditioner?"

"Silly... I turned on the air conditioner just now, the bad one... need to add freon!"

"Then why didn't I hear you?"

"That aunt doesn't even know how to use the remote control of the air conditioner. It's useless to say it. Get up and go." Du Yan knocked on the door.

"Where?"

"Go and buy some daily necessities, I don't even have a change of clothes when I come out."

Fortunately, the small supermarkets in the countryside have good service, and there are electric tricycles for door-to-door delivery.Otherwise, Zhao Changqi would definitely not be able to carry it.Zhao Changqi didn't feel it when he was in the supermarket. He just followed Du Yan and took the same things, because after all, it was a rural area, and there were not many things in the small supermarket, but when the boss helped them stack them all on the electric car Only then did he realize how terrifying the fighting power of women shopping is.

Electric kettle, electric fan, lamp battery electronic scale; kettle, four-piece set, tablecloth, dishcloth and washbasin; soy sauce, vinegar, oil and salt, vermicelli rice, sausage eggs, ginger and garlic; a whole box of cola instant noodles, piles of chocolate chips... ...and the summer T-shirts and underwear, which are sold in piles by the piece. The two of them tried the size and took out a handful.

After moving this pile of things home, the two of them stared at each other in the living room.Zhao Changqi suddenly slapped his thigh: "I forgot to buy a deck of cards."

"Who are you going to fight?"

"When you are bored, you will naturally call me."

"Do you think everyone is as boring as you?"

Zhao Changqi rested for a while, went to take a bath, then felt hungry, and wondered if he should cook.But after thinking about his cooking skills, he decided to forget it. He boiled some water and prepared instant noodles.This electric kettle was used for the first time, and he was a little worried that the quality was not good enough, so he stared at the kettle in a daze.

The days without the Internet feel like time flies by so slowly.Several times, he subconsciously took out his mobile phone to look at it. He knew that the phone was out of battery, and he didn't dare to turn it on even though he knew it was charged, but he still took it out to touch it.Just like many people who quit smoking, they like to take a cigarette and smell it.

what is she doingAre you as bored as yourself?

Zhao Changqi wanted to go over to take a peek, but found that Du Yan's room was locked.I leaned over to listen, but there seemed to be no sound.After listening for a while, at this time the kettle boiled, Du Yan obviously heard the sound, there was movement in the room.

Zhao Changqi hurried over to fill the water. When pouring the water into the bowl, Du Yan glanced at him: "You just eat instant noodles?"

"Too lazy to do it."

"I want to cook noodles, do you want to eat?"

"What face?"

"Well, oily spicy, egg and sausage noodles."

Without even thinking about it, Zhao Changqi poured out the instant noodles he had just made.

Du Yan is pretty good at it, she goes to the kitchen, rolls up her sleeves, turns on the fire, chops peppers, and heats up the oil.Zhao Changqi still wanted to fight, but she threw him out: "You just wait and eat!"

After a while, Zhao Changqi heard a crash inside, followed by a smell of burnt: "What's burnt?"

"This is the scent, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Du Yan hurried out to get the noodles, eggs, and sausages from the refrigerator, and warned him with her eyes—don't peek at the semi-finished products.

After a while, there was the smell of eggs, and then the noodles started to burn again. Du Yan asked him, "How many noodles do you want?"

"One bowl is enough. If you are confident in your cooking skills, cook more." To be honest, I am really hungry.

About 10 minutes later, Du Yan brought out a bowl and placed it in front of Zhao Changqi.He clapped his hands proudly: "You're done, let's eat!"

Zhao Changqi just glanced at it, and his heart trembled violently—he felt sorry for the bowl of instant noodles he threw away just now.

"What is this?" Zhao Changqi asked cautiously as he looked at the bowl in front of him, a large lump of mixed black and white.

"Spicy oil, egg and sausage noodles!" Du Yan introduced grandly.

"Where's the chili?"

"That's what you are."

According to the prompt, Zhao Changqi picked up a dark piece and took a bite cautiously. It was really spicy, but it seemed to be very different from the oily spicy food in his impression.

"Eggs...can be scrambled too?"

"It's just a little burnt, but it has a special flavor." Du Yan took out a small bowl, took a mouthful with relish, and showed a satisfied smile, "You really have a good taste, and it's cheaper for you. It's a pity that I can't eat spicy food. Help me eat these too!"
