Chapter 251: Walking with the United States (thirteen)
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, nor will my brother down." Wang Li nodded seriously, with tears still flowing in his eyes.
Ye Lingtian nodded, patted Wang Li on the shoulder, and said, "You look very similar to your brother. Smile and pretend that it's okay."
"I will take Lao Wu out with me. Can you help her find a job? I will stay here forever without any success, just like my second and third sisters, I got married at a young age, and it would be fine if I had a daughter, and I was bullied every day in my in-laws' house, and it would be like this for the rest of my life. I hope she can go out and find someone she likes to marry, instead of exposing herself to the matchmaker for the rest of her life with the matchmaker's mouth," Wang Li said again.
"As long as she wants to go out, you can call me after you go out. Let's go, your mother comes out, we'll go in, wipe our tears clean, and take me to the place where your brother already lives," Ye Lingtian nodded and said.
"Okay," Wang Li nodded, then took Ye Lingtian into the house and into one of the bedrooms. There were two very simple wooden beds in the bedroom. This bed was what Wang Yong slept with since he was a kid, and now, this bed is Wang Li sleeping with.
Wang Yong's mother was very polite. Although there were no good dishes, she also made five or six dishes and killed a chicken. At noon, Wang Li drank a lot of wine with Ye Lingtian, and a pot of wine was drunk by the two of them. Drinking is the custom here. The more noble the guests are, the host will keep urging him to drink. If the guests refuse before they get drunk, it means they look down on the host. So as long as they persuade him to drink, basically no one will refuse. Shangjiu is the nature of the people here, which is left from the bones. Everyone has a good alcohol tolerance, and Wang Li has a very good alcohol tolerance. In addition, because of the grief of Wang Yong's sacrifice, he drank very vigorously. Ye Lingtian also understood the grief in Wang Li's heart, but he still couldn't say so. Although Li Yuxin kept holding his sleeve, he still accompanied Wang Li to drink until he drank all the wine.
After drinking, Wang Li fell asleep drunk on the bed. Ye Lingtian's face was flushed, but he was still awake. After saying goodbye to Wang Yong's mother, he helped Li Yuxin, who was limping, walk slowly up the mountain.
"Are you drunk? Otherwise... let's rest here for a night and leave tomorrow?" Li Yuxin looked at Ye Lingtian with some concern.
"It's okay, I'm drunk or not. I know in my heart that if I think I'll stop when I feel drunk, now, I'm not drunk yet. Let's go, I can't sleep here, I won't be at peace. Moreover, their conditions here are too simple, and there are not many places to arrange for us to live, and you may not be able to live in the habit. We'll rush back now, stay in town at night, and start going back tomorrow morning. This is my wish, and it's been fulfilled. Next, I'll help Tiger fulfill his wishes, bring his two unmarried younger brothers and sisters out of the mountains, so that the youngest sister can go to college." Ye Lingtian lit a cigarette and said while walking.
"Why do you have to have so many children here? You are not rich and have so many children. If you only have one or two, the family situation may be much better." Li Yuxin has been puzzled.
"This is a local custom. Although there is family planning, in some remote ethnic minority settlements, their thoughts are still relatively feudal and outdated, favoring boys over girls, and believing in the principle of more people and more power. Moreover, they may not have received any measures to control birth control, so there are more children. This is not surprising. This is also the reason why the poor here are from generation to generation. Because of the closure, it is out of touch with the whole world. Therefore, the tiger said that his greatest wish in his life is to hope that several younger brothers and sisters in his family can walk out of this mountain to see the outside world, and never return to the mountains to live such a hard life in their lifetime." Ye Lingtian sighed and said slowly.
"Tigers are great, you are all great." Li Yuxin was completely infected by this atmosphere today, and she also realized for the first time what poverty is and what the life of the poor is. She was moved too much today.
"Great, in fact, none of us want to be great. All of us are just to serve the country with loyalty, and then be an ordinary person, the most ordinary person, and having the ordinary dream of an ordinary person is enough. I did it, but tigers can't do it, and they may not be able to do it either. So, I am lucky. Similarly, compared to them, I am a deserter." Ye Lingtian felt very uncomfortable.
"Come on, I'll carry you up." When he walked to the foot of the mountain, Ye Lingtian walked to Li Yuxin and squatted down and said to Li Yuxin.
"No need, my feet don't hurt so much anymore. Just help me a little, I can walk up by myself." Li Yuxin shook her head quickly. In fact, her feet still hurt, but she really didn't want Ye Lingtian to work so hard on her back.
"But there are snakes here, are you afraid?" Ye Lingtian said with a smile.
Li Yuxin immediately changed her face when she heard the snake.
Ye Lingtian smiled, squatted in front of Li Yuxin, stretched out his hand and hugged Li Yuxin's legs from behind, carried Li Yuxin on his back, and walked up the mountain.
"You scare me, you hooligan. Ye Lingtian, you have always been quite honest. Why are you so bad now?" Li Yuxin couldn't help but beat Ye Lingtian.
Ye Lingtian smiled, because after drinking, people will inevitably be more excited.
"I'm very happy today. I've already helped the tiger fulfill a wish. I think the tiger should be happy if it knows, at least I won't blame me." Ye Lingtian smiled and then started climbing the mountain.
"Be careful. If you feel tired, let me go. Don't show off. You have drunk so much wine." Li Yuxin was still worried about Ye Lingtian.
"Yeah, okay," Ye Lingtian said lightly.
"Am I heavy?" Li Yuxin asked with a smile.
"Not heavy" Ye Lingtian didn't know whether he was telling the truth or lies.
"Really, but I feel that I have been much heavier recently." Li Yuxin heard Ye Lingtian say that she was not heavy and was happy, but still said that, her hands involuntarily hugged Ye Lingtian's neck, which was very natural. Neither of them felt that there was anything wrong with this movement at this moment.
