It is rare to go back to my hometown. When I leave, the car is always filled with big and small bags of things.

"Grandma, I don't need to bring the vegetables anymore. We went to Xitang for two days to play. I had no place to cook this dish. I would bring it with me when my dad and the others came home."

"Then these winter dates will not break even if they are left without a refrigerator. You can eat them on the way..."

"Okay, enough, enough, can't eat..."

After lunch, at around 1:00 p.m., Yu Zhile and Xia Zhenyue were about to leave their hometown and have been to their own two-person world holiday.

After packing up the luggage, the family took them out. Grandma also held Xia Zhenyue's hand and talked to her, asking her to come and play during the Chinese New Year. Xia Zhenyue also nodded and agreed obediently.

Yu Zhile stuffed everything into the trunk, and the car had a lot of space. If possible, grandma would want to stuff two loads of millet into it.

"Where is my backpack..."

Yu Zhile looked for the backpack and looked back. His mother was holding the backpack and was unzipping it.

Shao Shuhua was holding a small black plastic bag in his hand. He didn't know what was in it, so he stuffed it into his backpack, then pulled the zipper up again, and handed it to him.

"Mom, what did you put?"

"Just hold it away."

Shao Shuhua helped him put his backpack in the trunk, and went to talk to Xia Zhenyue again.

Yu Zhile had already gotten in the car and started the car. Xia Zhenyue also walked to the co-pilot and got in and fastened her seat belt.

The car window rolled down and looked at the relatives at the door. Yu Zhile waved: "Then let's go first, grandma, you must pay attention to your health."

"Okay, drive slowly on the road."

"Be careful when going out to play!"

Shao Shuhua told me again, I was really worried. After all, they were all young people. What little plan does the stinky son have in mind? How can the old mother not know?

"I know, I'm leaving."

"Goodbye grandparents uncles and aunties..."

The car started, and Xia Zhengyue also waved her hands to everyone.

Among so many people, she is considered an outsider, but after getting along with each other for the past two days, she has not felt that this family is a part of her life at all. Everyone is very nice to her.

The sky in the countryside is very blue, and the smell of autumn is stronger than that in the city. The car slowly drove out of the village. She lay down by the car window and looked at it. The same scenery was different from the mood when she came. She seemed to have some connection with it.

When he walked to the vicinity of the stream at the entrance of the village, Yu Zhile stopped the car, rolled down the window, and smiled and shouted, "Have you caught it?"

It was Su Zhifu and her cousin. The two little kids were rolling up their trousers and holding bamboo baskets to block the stream from the mouth of the stream to catch fish.

Stupid children always have many programs, catch fish and shrimps, and can catch tadpoles in spring.

Hearing his shouting, Su Zhifu also raised her head and saw Yu Zhile in the car, so she ran over with her short legs.

"Brother Zhile! Are you going back?"

"Yes, do you want to go back to southern Jiangsu? I can send you a trip and go there to play."

"Aren't you just the second day today..."

"yes."

"I'm going back on the seventh!"

She raised the bottle in her hand to show him. It was an empty plastic coke bottle containing half a bottle of water. The small fish and shrimp she had just caught were swimming in the water. It was a very common bet fish, tiny croaker, tiny crab, etc. in the countryside.

"You've caught so many?"

"It's amazing, right?"

The little loli was very proud. In order to catch these fish, she was dirty all over. Her clothes were covered in mud. Her trousers were rolled up to her knees. The short legs under her knees were stepped on the stream, and her feet were covered in dark mud, which was a sharp contrast with her fair skin.

"Brother Zhile, have you brought the bottle? I'll give you a few."

"We are going to play somewhere else. We can't take care of the fish, so you can keep it for yourself."

Yu Zhile smiled and took the coke bottle from her hand and looked at it. She praised her fish for being beautiful, and the little girl was very happy.

"Okay, I'll take it home to raise it."

The water in the stream is very shallow and is drained into the fields for irrigation. When I was young, Yu Zhile often sucked fishing in the water with his cousin. He would not be dangerous, but he was dirty all over and would definitely be scolded when he went home.

"Then let's go and come back to have fun during the Chinese New Year."

"Do you still buy fireworks this year?"

"purchase."

"Okay!"

Yu Zhile started the car, and the little loli waved his arm to him from behind. After leaving the village, he returned to his hometown and came to an end.

Xia Zhenyue called her home and informed her itinerary.

Fang Ru didn't mind where she and Yu Zhile went to play. After all, she even agreed to go back to her hometown with Yu Zhile, and asked her to have fun while she was having a holiday so she didn't have to worry at home.

My mother is now walking steadily. She gets up at six o'clock every day, goes for a walk with Meier, and then comes back to the market to buy vegetables and cook. She can take care of herself.

After chatting, I also opened a video, looking at my mother, the cat, the small shop at home, and also asked my mother and the cat to see her, and Yu Zhile who was driving.

The car moved forward steadily on the road, playing the songs they liked. He was driving, she was watching the scenery, and when there were novel scenes, she asked him to see them together.

The sensible and well-behaved girl is warm and comfortable no matter where she goes. She will take the initiative to unscrew the bottle cap to drink water for him, feed him winter dates, and let him spit the date pits into her palms. Occasionally, when they encounter traffic jams, the two of them come over to each other, kiss them lightly, and exchange the plum words in their mouths...

The sweet and sour taste of plums is mixed with emotions such as pleasure, satisfaction, and comfort. Yu Zhile felt for the first time that where to go was not important. Just the feeling of being on the road with her made people fascinated and intoxicated.

Probably Xia Zhenyue also had the same feeling as him. When she was on the road, she was watching the scenery for half of the time, and when she was watching him for the other half of the time.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she did not look at him openly, but peeked at him from time to time, and didn't know what she was thinking. As she thought about it, she would reveal a very gentle and memorable smile, which would be frozen in her mind like film, into frame by frame.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No~"

"Then you keep peeking at me?"

“Not even ~”

She hummed, "It was you who peeked at me, but didn't drive well, so she looked at me from time to time."

"I want to look at the rearview mirror."

“…”

The girl was embarrassed and angry, because she was thinking too much about her feelings? So she angrily stretched out her hand under his mouth.

“I haven’t finished eating yet…”

"I won't give it to you."

Yu Zhile spit the plum in her palm, and she turned her hand and threw it into her mouth.

The salty and sour taste of plums is much lighter, but the sweetness is much stronger.

So the girl's eyebrows narrowed again, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She was holding a plastic bag in her arms, containing winter dates and snacks. Even in a car where there were only them, she was still well-behaved in sitting posture, putting things on her legs, holding her hands, her legs were ladylikely together, slightly facing him.

When you like someone, your body's small movements cannot be hidden, and your legs will subconsciously look toward him.

"Knowing joy."

"Um?"

"You said, how could we both become so good?"

“How good is it?”

"Eat the same plum blossom."

"That's really good."

Xia Zhenyue secretly looked at him again. Although she could watch it openly, she liked to watch it secretly because she could see the real one, and didn’t she have always looked at him secretly?

She could distinguish between fantasy and reality, especially before being with him, even though she knew what she wanted, some things could only be buried in the bed when it was late at night and she thought about it. But now when she was with him, fantasy and reality collided, and there was nothing better in the world than this.

"I probably know why you are different from others." She thought for a while.

“Where is different?”

"It's just temperament, because you have been to many places and met many people. You will feel very comfortable when you are with you. If you change to a girl, I think she will definitely think so."

"It's a pity that I'm only with you."

"I'm not jealous."

The meaning of travel is probably like this. Going to many places and meeting many people, just like Yu Zhile and her self-proclaimed "observer". Only by seeing this past can you know that people in Northeast China do not only know how to drink and brag, people in Guangdong do not only eat Hu Jianren, people in Sichuan do not all eat spicy food, people in Shanxi also eat rice, flowers in tofu can be salty, sweet or spicy, and it turns out that China is so big...

When people face different situations, they always instinctively reject them. Only by truly feeling different can these prejudices be eliminated. This is also the reason why Yu Zhile’s ‘comfortable’ temperament is produced.

...

Xitang is a place full of romantic atmosphere. When you mention the ancient town in Jiangnan, you will always have a picture in your mind, a lilac woman holding an oil paper umbrella, strolling in the mist and rain on the bridge on the street, full of scattered and tranquil poetic and picturesque.

After driving for more than two hours, Yu Zhile and Xia Zhenyue arrived in Xitang. This was the first time they left Suzhou and Hangzhou dating place since they were together.
