The rushing water under the stone bridge is crystal clear, and fish the size of your palm are jumping around in it, giving you the feeling of walking into a painting.

This place is not Jiangnan or even Jiangnan. After just one glance, I like it more than I like Jiangcheng.

"Aren't the young people here coming back for the New Year?"

"No, they all found time to come back before the Chinese New Year. In fact, most of them settled in the city and came to pick up their families.

Old people are reluctant! They are used to the slow pace of life here."

"Well, this place is developing now. It will be better if young people come back to run it!"

"Everyone's idea! It's just across the way."

Following the direction of the box's finger, a four-story building stood in the middle of the bamboo forest, like a paradise.

"Ah! It's beautiful!"

"There aren't many people here at this time, so you can enjoy it to your heart's content."

There were not many people there, in fact, there was only one person from Dongfang North and South, and it was Hezi who picked him up. Along the way, the folks here thought he was an acquaintance of Hezi.

At the entrance of the bamboo forest, a little girl and a big yellow dog stood, as if waiting for someone.

"That's your daughter?"

"Yes, it is four years old, and Rhubarb is also four years old."

The happiness on Box Box's face was the same as that of the father and daughter singing.

Dongfang Nanbei couldn't help but pick up the camera and record the beautiful scenery.

"Dad, is this mom?"

The children and dogs who came to greet the box and Dongfang Nanbei asked the box cautiously when they threw themselves into the box's arms.

"No, this is dad's friend from far away, called Aunt Nanbei."

"Oh, hello aunt! Auntie, do you know when my mother will come?"

Dongfang Nanbei was stunned and looked at the box.

If, as he said, the child is born without a mother and the child doesn't know, is this concealment really for the child's benefit?

"Mom has gone to a very far away place. She has to save many people, so she can't come back yet. Mu Ci, dear, you can see your mother when you grow up."

"Okay! Auntie, my mother is a doctor!"

"Awesome, the doctor is the greatest..."

Dongfang Nanbei unconsciously accepted the "lie" from the box.

"Dad, aunt also said that mom is great!"

"Hehe... let's go and take Auntie to see her room!"

"Okay, I have someone to play with. Auntie, will you stay here for a long time?"

"Um...yes!"

For the time being, Dongfang, North and South will remain.

The child is very cute, but it is not natural to become familiar with strangers at once.

As soon as we got downstairs, the little girl fell asleep on the box's shoulder.

The box gently placed her on the cradle in the yard, and then took Dongfang Nanbei to choose a room.

"I came here only after being introduced by people I know well, and there is no one here during the holidays. You can choose a room at will. You can rest for a while and come downstairs for dinner later."

"Is room and board available?"

"Yes, I cook! If you are not used to it, you can cook it yourself. There are kitchen utensils on every floor."

"Okay, I've come all the way and haven't asked you about the charge yet?"

I feel so familiar that I feel embarrassed to talk about money.

"Two hundred a day, food, accommodation and travel are all included."

The cost is not high, and people in the East, North and South are a little bit intolerant of it.

"How much do you usually charge? Do you charge cheaper?"

"No way! My aunt introduced me, so that's the friendship price!"

"What about shopping for groceries and cooking?"

"We use local materials. We have vegetables in the backyard, unlike the delicacies found outside. The fish, duck and meat are absolutely fresh, natural and pollution-free."

"Okay, thank you!"

I felt that I had taken advantage of the discount, but I never asked him to increase the price. I could only try not to trouble this enthusiastic person.

After choosing a room, Dongfang Nanbei rested. In the evening, the fragrant smell of food wafted into the room, and Dongfang Nanbei woke up.

When the enthusiastic Mu Ci heard the sound of opening the door, she came upstairs and pulled her to sit down at the dining table.

Under the very dim light of the sunset, Box, wearing an apron, was delivering dishes one by one to the wooden table in the yard, looking very warm.

For a moment, Dongfang Nanbei saw him as Qiao Runsheng in a hallucination. She wondered if she and Qiao Runsheng had gotten married and had children earlier, would they have been happy forever?

"Are you awake? There's just one more dish, please sit down first."

"Okay, Dad."

"Thank you for your hard work, let me help you!"

"No need, Auntie. My dad is a super chef. Helping him will disrupt his rhythm. Let's just sit down and wait for dad."

Looking like little grown-up Mu Ci, Dongfang Nanbei smiled and looked at the box again, and nodded.

So the two of them were busy looking at the box with their chins propped up.

During meals, Box always picks up food for Mu Ci, and Dongfang and Nanbei see it, just like they saw Wu Jiaqian taking care of Sister Xiaoxiao many years ago.

"Does everyone become different when they become parents?"

"Huh? Right! When you have a child, you have responsibilities. Life will become different and life will continue."

"right……"

Dongfang Nanbei lowered his head and continued eating, no longer thinking about talking about his own affairs.

She believes that there is no need to cry everywhere after a failed love, but to start over after leaving.

After eating, Hexiang led her around the small village again and counted carefully, there were only twenty-two households in total.

When it was completely dark, no house was lit. The box told her that people here had the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, so as soon as it got dark, everyone took a rest.

Such a quiet and peaceful night is really not something that ordinary people can stay in. Only people with gentle habits like Dongfang Nanbei can do it!

She never went horseback riding in La Shihai. She followed He Hezi and his daughter up the mountain to collect medicines and fish in the river all day long, and she lived a happy life.

Days like this come quickly, and spring will really arrive soon. Green grass is sprouting everywhere, and the smell of earth is permeated. The box inn is also starting to get busy.

Dongfang Nanbei left after meeting a person in the Box Inn. This person was called Leng Ruohan. When he first saw Dongfang Nanbei, Dongfang Nanbei was attracted by his affairs.

Leng Ruohan is a teacher in the mountains. I heard from him that this school is on the top of the mountain and has a total of fifteen students.

Going to school here requires "rock climbing and wall walking", and the conditions are extremely difficult. All subjects are taught by this teacher Leng alone.

This is his fifth year of teaching at Mountain Peak Primary School. In two years, these fifteen people will graduate and go to high school in the county, or go see the world on the other side of the mountain early.
