    Li Rui drove with Xiao Wang all the way through Qingshanquan Town and drove into the mountains along a narrow asphalt road. It took nearly two hours to reach the small mountain village called Hongshan.  Shen Weidong's house is on a hillside behind the village. A cement road winds up and cars can drive all the way to the yard.  The yard is really big, covering an area of ??more than two acres, and it is a small European-style villa.  After getting out of the car, Xiao Wang took out a basket from the trunk of his car, which contained various frozen foods and some fresh vegetables. This kid Shen Weidong was quite thoughtful.  Xiao Wang moved the basket into the house, and Li Rui and Yu Meixia followed them in. The living room was spacious, with all the furniture, sofas, and electrical appliances, and it was very clean.  Yu Meixia looked around and kept tutting her tongue in admiration: "I didn't expect that there are such good houses here. To use your words, even the landlord Lao Cai's home is not so good." "How can a landlord be like this?  Luxurious, the life of landlords in the past was not as good as that of ordinary people now," Li Rui said with a smile.  "Of course, the landlord didn't have access to TV or running water at that time, let alone a telephone." Yu Meixia smiled happily, bright and charming.  Xiao Wang walked in from the back of the house, "Director Li, I have put the food in the refrigerator. The boiler in the back has been fired up. It will be warm in an hour at most. If nothing happens, I will go back first." "It's okay.  It's okay, please excuse me, Xiao Wang." Although he was the driver, Li Rui felt a little sorry for asking him to make a special trip during the Chinese New Year, so he sent him out and specially took out a Hongtashan stick from the car.  Got him.  It takes a certain amount of time for the temperature of a domestic boiler to come up, and the room is very cold. Fortunately, there is a glass greenhouse on the second floor platform, which is full of greenery, but the taste is not good, they are all money trees and the like.  There is a small round table in the middle with a few wicker chairs surrounding it. The sun is shining brightly and it feels warm to sit inside.  Yu Meixia quickly boiled a pot of water and made two cups of tea. She sat down and said with some regret: "If I had known that the conditions here were so good, I would have brought your coffee machine with me and sat here to bask in the sun.  It feels good to drink coffee." Li Rui picked up the cup and blew on the tea leaves and said with a smile, "This is good Longjing, which is much more valuable than coffee." This is the house on the hillside.  The view through the glass in the conservatory on the second floor is very good, and you can still see the road at the foot of the mountain in the distance.  Behind is a mountain col. The mountain col is very large, covering hundreds of acres. It is planted with peach trees, and a large pond is dug in the middle. If the peach blossoms are in full bloom in the spring, and the green waves are rippling in the pond, it will really be a paradise.  I mean, it¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s the middle of winter, the peach trees stand bare in the cold wind, and the ponds have already been covered with thick ice.  However, the surrounding mountain ridges are covered with lush bamboo forests, which are full of greenery and feel very comfortable. There are also several pavilions built of logs in the mountains, covered with thatch, and neatly trimmed on all sides. They have obviously been carefully cared for by humans.  Yu Meixia covered the tea cup with both hands, looked at everything in front of her, and sighed sincerely: "It's so beautiful! No wonder Mr. Shen said how nice his hometown is. But I heard from him that he doesn't come here often, he only comes here to escape the heat in the summer.  "Really? This guy really enjoys it," Li Rui sighed as he lay on the wicker chair.  "It's so ugly! People are kind enough to lend you a house to live in, but you still scold them." Having been in Pengcheng for a long time, Yu Meixia also knew what dog days meant, her face turned slightly red, and she said coquettishly.  "Sorry! Alas, after working at the grassroots level for a long time, I have learned to speak vulgarly. I think I also graduated from Yenching University, so how could I say such vulgar words." Li Rui deliberately pretended to be annoyed.  "It's so shameless, so stop being so pretty!" Yu Meixia smiled sweetly and hit Li Rui's arm.  The blow was very light and there was no feeling. When the second blow came, Li Rui reached out and grabbed her hand and pulled it.  "Ah!" Yu Meixia couldn't stand and rushed forward suddenly. Li Rui's other hand subconsciously reached out to block it, but Yu Meixia still ran into his arms and stretched out the hand on his chest.  He grabbed a large soft ball with one hand and squeezed it. The elasticity was amazing.  "Ah!" The temperature in the greenhouse was quite high. Yu Meixia opened the zipper of her down sweater. Li Rui just grabbed the sweater on her chest. The restricted area was attacked, and she suddenly exclaimed.  It feels so good!  Li Rui couldn't help but secretly sigh. When he heard Yu Meixia's exclamation, he immediately let go of his hand without revealing anything, and took advantage of the situation to hold her other arm, "Be careful, don't fall!"  The breast that Rui grabbed was slightly swollen, but at this time she was not as sharp as before, and just whispered: "What are you doing, you!"   "I'm sorry, I was afraid you would fall." Seeing Li Rui's calm look, Yu Meixia couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved, and she even pretended to be cool!  But she was too embarrassed to say such embarrassing things. She stood firm and got rid of the Lushan claws. She smoothed her scattered hair. In order to avoid embarrassment, she deliberately changed the subject and said: "It's getting late. It's evening.  What should we eat?" Actually, Li Rui felt a little embarrassed. Looking at the green bamboo forests on the surrounding mountains, he had an idea: "Why don't we go to the mountains to dig some winter bamboo shoots and have hot pot at night?" Hearing about digging winter bamboo shoots really attracted Yu.  Meixia's interest asked, "Winter bamboo shoots? Are there any winter bamboo shoots here?" "Of course, let's go up the mountain." Li Rui said with a smile.  Li Rui went to the hut at the back where the sundries were kept and found a small hoe. Households with a bamboo forest next to them usually have this kind of small hoe specially designed for digging bamboo shoots.  Follow the path behind the house through the peach garden and up the mountain. In the bamboo forest that blocks the sun, especially in winter, there are few other plants. The ground is covered with thick yellow bamboo leaves, which make a rustling sound when walking on them.  Yu Meixia, who was very excited, couldn't wait to look for it, but after searching around, she couldn't find a single winter bamboo shoot. "Where did the winter bamboo shoots come from? Why can't I find them?" Li Rui looked at her with a smile and said, "The winter bamboo shoots are here now.  They are all underground and haven¡¯t emerged yet. Of course you can¡¯t find them.¡± ¡°They haven¡¯t grown yet, so how can we dig them up?¡± Li Rui is quite experienced in digging winter bamboo shoots.  Tuanshan Mountain is densely covered with bamboo forests. Li Rui has followed his uncle Li Wenjun on the mountain to dig bamboo shoots since he was a child. Especially the delicious winter bamboo shoots in winter are the best food to satisfy his craving.  "Bamboo shoots are all grown on bamboo whips. You have to follow the bamboo whips to find them." Li Rui guided Yu Meixia, "Look, there is a slight bulge here. If you peel off the bamboo leaves, there are cracks in the soil underneath. It seems like there is something underneath.  It's the same as pushing it out, right? Then let's dig up the soil next to it," Li Rui said while using a small hoe to dig out the soil, and sure enough, a sharp bamboo shoot was exposed underneath.  ¡°It¡¯s true, there are really bamboo shoots down there!¡± Yu Meixia clapped her hands like a little girl.  Li Rui continued to dig down with a small hoe, and it seemed that a very small bamboo shoot tip was exposed. But when he dug away all the soil, he found that it was still a big one, weighing more than a kilogram. Li Rui broke off the bamboo shoot and put it in  In the bag, she handed the small hoe in her hand to Yu Meixia and said, "Did you see it clearly just now? If you find another one, it will be enough for us to eat tonight." "Okay, let me try." Yu Meixia said with a look on her face  said excitedly.  Li Rui carried the bamboo shoots to the pavilion next to him, sat down on the log stool inside, lit a cigarette, and looked at the pavilion carefully. The foundation below was made of concrete, and the pillars and top were all made of wood.  It is made of wood and is covered with thick thatch, giving it a rather primitive feel. It would definitely be very cool and comfortable to sit here in the summer.  Yu Meixia was wandering around like a headless fly on the hillside below, seeming to be still mumbling something. From time to time she would squat down and turn over the bamboo leaves on the ground, and dig them with a small hoe, but every time she would stand up disappointed.  .  After a while, she seemed to have lost confidence, and shouted in the direction of the pavilion: "Li Rui, why can't I find it? There are either rocks or nothing underneath." "If you continue to search patiently, just follow what I just said  You can definitely find it the way you said." Li Rui also shouted with a smile.  Yu Meixia had no choice but to immerse herself in searching again. After a while, she heard her shouting happily: "I found it, I found one." "Then dig it out." Li Rui sat in the pavilion like an old man without moving.  shouted at her.  "Yeah!" But Yu Meixia was also very curious, so she responded, picked up the small hoe and started digging.  She had never done this kind of thing before. It took a lot of effort to throw the winter bamboo shoots out of the soil, and her delicate palms were already burning with pain.  Li Rui then walked over leisurely carrying a bag.  ¡°Look!¡± Yu Meixia picked up the trophy and showed off to Li Rui.  After working for a long time, her face was flushed and the tip of her nose was covered with small beads of sweat, which was really pretty.  Although the winter bamboo shoot she dug was not as heavy as the one just now, it still weighed seven or eight taels. After putting the winter bamboo shoot into her pocket, she quickly blew it on her aching palm.  "Is your palm frayed? Let me take a look." Li Rui quickly expressed concern, and at the same time stretched out his hand to hold her hand and take a closer look.  "It's okay, it's okay! The skin is not broken, but I have never done anything like this before, so I am a little uncomfortable." With the previous lesson in the greenhouse, Yu Meixia was still wary of Li Rui, how could she dare to let him touch her again?  He quickly hid his hands behind his back.  Li Rui held his hands empty and could only say: "Two are enough. It's getting dark, let's go back."   The sun sets early in winter, and it was already dark by the time they came back. Yu Meixia¡¯s hands hurt, so Li Rui took the initiative to take on the task of peeling bamboo shoots and washing vegetables.  Most of what Xiao Wang brought were quick semi-finished products, such as mutton slices, beef slices, dumplings, etc. They were easy to make. The hot pot was plugged in. Just pour water in, add some seasoning, and put in the sliced ??winter bamboo shoots.  The table was filled with washed vegetables and food ready to be cooked. Li Rui found a bottle of red wine from the decorative cabinet in the living room, opened it, and said to Yu Meixia who was sitting on the sofa watching TV: "Okay.  !¡±
