My Best Wife

After getting dressed, Li Xiaoxiao looked at Fang Zhiqiang who had not turned his head in the front row, with a smile on his face, thinking: Fang Zhiqiang is really honest. If he doesn't let him turn his head, he really won't turn his head.

"Ahem!" Li Xiaoxiao coughed dryly.

Fang Zhiqiang still didn't turn his head, but instead asked, "Are you ready, Xiaoxiao?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "Alright!"

Fang Zhiqiang turned his head, looked at Li Xiaoxiao who had changed his clothes, and then said, "How is it? Have you caught a cold?"

"You think they are all as vain as you!" Li Xiaoxiao gave Fang Zhiqiang a white glance and said helplessly.

"I..." Fang Zhiqiang was speechless.

Afterwards, Fang Zhiqiang also changed his clothes carelessly. Unlike Li Xiaoxiao, he was not as deep as Li Xiaoxiao. He changed his clothes directly in front of Li Xiaoxiao, then started the car and moved on.

Moving on along this road, Li Xiaoxiao was not lightly frozen in the snow outside before, so Li Xiaoxiao also got a lot of peace this time, and honestly closed the car windows, but it still did not affect her appreciation of the beautiful scenery outside. .

But for Fang Zhiqiang, it was an honest drive, and occasionally glanced at the silver-clad ground outside, giving him a burst of joy.

The car continued to drive for more than four hours, and the sky had gradually come to dusk. It was dark early in winter, and it was only past five o'clock, but it seemed that the sky was already dark.

Since Fang Zhiqiang had not walked this road before, Fang Zhiqiang was not familiar with the road conditions. In addition to the poor lighting, Fang Zhiqiang no longer chose to move on. Instead, he chose a nearby house and knocked on the door.

This is a rural area. Every household closes the door very early at night. After eating, there is nothing to cook at home, watch TV, and then go to bed.

At this moment, it is time for them to eat.

"Who?" A girl who seemed to be about eighteen years old opened the wooden door.

"Hello, we passed by here. It's dark and we are not very familiar with the road conditions here, so we just want to leave tomorrow and want to stay with you for one night tonight, okay?" Fang Zhiqiang stepped forward. Looking at the girl, she said politely.

When the girl heard the words, she did not speak, but looked back at the upper room. A 70-year-old old man came out from the upper room with a pipe in his hand. Seeing Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao, she was slightly stunned, and then immediately Quickly beckoned: "Come in, hurry in!"

With a warm invitation from the old man, Fang Zhiqiang showed a sincere smile on his face, then turned around and carefully took Li Xiaoxiao's hand, and crossed the threshold.

"Young man, where are you going?" Entering the house, surrounded by the fire, the old man tapped his pipe on his shoe, then looked at Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao and asked.

The old man in the countryside, in his seventies, looks very old. Not only does he have a lot of wrinkles on his face, but the teeth in his mouth are almost gone. The furnishings in the house are also very simple. The only modern thing is the table. On that 21-inch color TV.

This TV seems to be the most valuable thing in the whole house.

"Master, we came out to play, and the destination is Beihai. When we passed here, it happened to be getting dark. We were not familiar with this side, and we didn't dare to drive forward in the dark. This disturbed you." Fang Zhiqiang Said politely.

"Beihai? Why did you go to such a place in the winter?" Hearing Fang Zhiqiang's words, the old man opened his mouth unexpectedly. After a moment, he said.

"Yes, it's mainly my wife who wants to go to that place to relax. It just happened that I wasn't too busy at work recently, so I went out to play together." Fang Zhiqiang continued with a smile.

"Oh……"

The old man then set his sights on Li Xiaoxiao. After looking up and down for a long time, he smiled and said, "Hehe, you are the people in the city. Now the people in the city, living conditions are better. I want to go out to play, unlike us, who haven't been out of this village much in my life."

When the old man said this, his face was obviously lonely.

It can be seen that, in fact, he also wants to go out for a while, maybe because he didn't have the opportunity when he was young, or because of other reasons, he has never been able to go out. This seems to be a regret in his heart.

"Uncle, where do you want to go? Or, tomorrow I will take you out for a tour? Don't worry, we will take care of your food and accommodation." Fang Zhiqiang said sincerely.

In fact, Fang Zhiqiang has always had a very good feeling towards rural people. Perhaps because he was from a rural background, rural people always feel so simple and kind to Fang Zhiqiang.

Including Li Xiaoxiao, he has always liked to contact simple rural people.

But today I got a warm invitation from the old man. For Fang Zhiqiang, taking him out for a walk, if he can realize the old man’s dream, it would be a harvest of this trip.

However, the old man rejected Fang Zhiqiang, waved his hand and said, "Hehe, I won't go out anymore, I am getting older, and my health is not good enough, but..."

When the old man said this, he paused suddenly, and then looked at the 18-year-old girl who had been silent.

Seeing the look of the old man, Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao also turned to look at the girl.

The girl looked very shy. After noticing the gazes of Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao, she immediately lowered her head, very shy.

"But what? Uncle, just say it." Fang Zhiqiang knew that the uncle hadn't finished speaking, so he said again.

"Haha, it's nothing, right, have you eaten? My granddaughter and I are the only two in our family. Dinner is a simple deal. There is nothing delicious. If you don't eat, just deal with it?" The old man once again Looking at Fang Zhiqiang, he said sincerely.

"We have eaten, uncle, you don't need to work." Fang Zhiqiang waved his hand, actually did not eat, but after looking at the simple furnishings in the room, Fang Zhiqiang said.

"Girl, go get the sweet potatoes cooked yesterday and let the guests eat some." The old man looked at his granddaughter and said.

The girl did not speak, but stood up silently, and walked to the back room covered by a curtain.

The curtain is white, with a simple embroidered pattern on it, which is already painted in black, especially on the two sides, where it is often lifted by hands, the black is more obvious.

After a while, the girl came out with a wooden basin with a few icy, cooked sweet potatoes.

"Hehe, I'm getting old and I don't have much land at home. This winter, I planted a sweet potato field. This year's sweet potato is not bad. You can taste it. It's very sweet." The old man smiled happily. , Took out two sweet potatoes from the tub and handed them to Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao respectively.

Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao took the sweet potatoes one after another. They were very cold, but they still smiled happily, "Thank you, uncle!"

"Don't rush to eat. You put the sweet potatoes on this stove and roast them, and then eat them again." The old man picked up an iron rod by the stove and waved it on the stove surface a few times, as if he wanted Clean the dust.

Of course, the iron rod is not clean.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zhiqiang and Li Xiaoxiao both smiled and put the sweet potatoes on top.

The old man immediately said again: "Actually, when I was young, I wanted to go out and see the outside world, hey...it's a pity..."

"What's the matter, uncle? What do you have in your heart? You can share with us." Fang Zhiqiang knew that the old man hadn't finished his words. Seeing him sighing, Fang Zhiqiang was also very curious about what he was like when he was young. .

"This blink of an eye, decades have passed, and when I think of my youth, it was a long, long time ago..." The old man slowly raised his head and fell into a recollection.
