his little stutter

The two people, who were a little embarrassed, went down the mountain all the way.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain. It looks a bit like a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, with blue bricks and green tiles. There are red lanterns hanging under the eaves. The door is also an old wooden door. The windows are hollowed out, just pasted with a layer of paper. , blocked the wind.

The river under the bridge was clear, and the road was paved with blue stones. At a glance, it was sparsely populated and not too lively. Yu Nan took Xu Zhao all the way into the town.

"The environment of your house looks quite good." Xu Zhao said.

Yu Nan said "Yes", "It used to be an ancient town."

Xu Zhao admired the surrounding scenery, "I said, no wonder it looks so artistic."

Yu Nan smiled, "Can you still understand artistic conception?"

"Why can't I?" Xu Zhao said, "Anyway, I think the scenery is beautiful, but there seems to be no one there."

"There are fewer people during the day," Yu Nan said.

This place was originally remote, and most people went out to work during the day, and most of the people who stayed were elderly grandparents.

"Then where do I go to change?" Xu Zhao was a little worried.

"Let's take a look ahead first." Yu Nan said, "It's been a long time since I've been here."

The farther you go, the more people you meet. When you turn a corner, you will see a big family not far away. They say it is a big family because every house here is basically a flat house. Only this one is built. A two-story building.

At the door, three or four old ladies were basking in the sun and chatting. When they saw two young people approaching, they cast their eyes curiously.

The closer she got, the more she stared carefully. The old lady lying on the old man's chair was younger than the others around her. She slowly got up and asked, "Is it... Ah Nan?"

Yu Nan didn't pay attention to them at all, he stopped when he heard someone calling him, and looked over.

If you look closely, you can see an acquaintance.

It was Grandma Zhang who opened a small shop in the town when he was a child. His mother used to take him to buy some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. He didn’t like snacks. Sugar?"

When something happened at home, she also helped a little. Yu Nan had a good impression of her, so she politely said hello, "Grandma Zhang is good."

This shout confirmed the identity, Grandma Zhang got up quickly, her voice was slow, "I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing outside?"

"It's okay." Yu Nan replied politely.

Almost everyone in the town knew about Yu Nan's family, but they could only sigh secretly, feeling sorry for the child of Yu's family.

Grandma Zhang also felt sorry for the child, and nodded repeatedly, "It's good to live well, good to live well."

A few old gossiping grandmas beside him asked, "Who is this?"

Grandma Zhang replied, "That poor child..."

A few old ladies understood this point, "Oh, I've grown up so much, why don't I still study?"

Yu Nan was still polite, "I'm in high school."

"Where do you read it?"

Yu Nan replied, "Chengxi Middle School."

Grandma Zhang said, "Chengxi Middle School is good, but it's far away. Why are you back today?"

Yu Nan paused, "Come back and visit my parents."

Grandma Zhang felt emotional in her heart, but she didn't ask too much, seeing his face, "What's wrong with this face?"

After speaking, I noticed Xu Zhao, "Is this a classmate?"

"Ah."

The old lady who asked the question just now said, "Stop nagging, let the two children go in and wash, and look at the mud all over."

The people in the town are friendly and enthusiastic. Grandma has become an adult after half a century, knowing that the two children must have fallen all the way here, and they must have fallen, and they came to worship their parents again, so they must have nowhere to go.

Grandma Zhang hurriedly opened the door, "Come here, come in quickly, I was too busy talking, I haven't paid much attention yet, there is hot water in the house, hurry up and wash."

Yu Nan knew that Xu Zhaozheng was worried about having no place to take a bath, so he agreed without any excuses.

The facilities and equipment in this town are relatively backward. There are few equipment such as water heaters and solar energy. They use wooden barrels for bathing.

Grandma Zhang originally wanted to pour water for Xu Zhao and Yu Nan, and let them wash it, but Yu Nan didn't want to trouble Grandma Zhang, so she took the wooden scoop and said, "I'll come, grandma."

Grandma Zhang thought this child was embarrassed, so she let him do it herself, pointed to a dozen water bottles beside the stove and said, "There is hot water in the pot and water bottles, just boiled, enough for you two children." washed."

"Thank you grandma." Yu Nan said politely while closing the door.

Xu Zhao leaned on the side of the wooden bucket, looked at the wooden bucket that was big enough for two people, and said with a meaningful smile, "Well...it's enough for us to wash."

Yu Nan scooped up the hot water in the pot and said, "I won't wash it."

"Ah?" Xu Zhao said, "Why?"

"I didn't get dirty." Yu Nan understood what Xu Zhao was thinking, he smiled, "I'll wash my face with some water, that's all."

Xu Zhao was not reconciled, "Don't, just wash together, there is so much hot water, it must be enough for the two of us to wash."

Yu Nan smiled, lowered her head, picked up the water bottle and poured water into it, "No washing."

Xu Zhao pulled him and kept persuading him, "Look at how cold it is outside, why don't you take a bath with me, hey Yu Nan, come on."

"I really don't want to wash it." Yu Nan tried the water temperature, "It's almost there, you can wash it."

"If you don't wash it, I don't want to wash it either." Xu Zhao sat down on the stool and didn't move.

Yu Nan laughed softly, "Okay, don't make trouble, wash it quickly."

"You come with me."

Just after Xu Zhao stood up, he unzipped Yu Nan's jacket, "Wash me, wash me!"

Yu Nan was so funny, he really couldn't stand his soft-heartedness, "Okay, okay, I'll wash and I'll wash."

After he finished speaking, he took off his coat, and then took off the sweater inside. Seeing that Xu Zhao was standing beside him without any response, he asked him, "Why don't you wash it?"

Xu Zhaozheng was admiring Yu Nan's handsome action of undressing. Hearing this, he came back to his senses, and quickly said, "Wash."

Originally, he insisted that Yu Nan take a bath with him, but now he took off his clothes and stood with Yu Nan outside the barrel, facing him naked, he became a little embarrassed.

The lowered head was staring at someone intentionally or unintentionally. Yu Nan actually knew that he just thought it was funny, and didn't hurt Xu Zhao, so he jumped into the barrel.

The wooden barrel is not high, only about 1.1 in height, so he can only squat down to soak it.

Xu Zhao didn't come in, Yu Nan patted him to remind him to come in, but the slap hit his buttocks, both of them were taken aback.

Yu Nan coughed twice, "Come in quickly."

Only then did Xu Zhao step in.

The wooden barrel is fairly wide, and it is not too narrow for two people to use. Only three-quarters of the water was poured in, but because of the two people entering, a lot of water poured up all of a sudden.

The atmosphere was very quiet for a while, and Xu Zhao, who usually talked the most, squatted quietly, soaking in the water from the chest down.

He looked at Yu Nan, he didn't know whether it was caused by blood circulation or the heat, anyway, his face was slowly turning red.

Yu Nan washed it naturally, but if you noticed that he deliberately didn't look into Xu Zhao's eyes, you would know that he was also a little embarrassed.

"Wash quickly, don't be in a daze."

Yu Nan knew that Xu Zhao was looking at him, he thought that Xu Zhao would be done watching for a while, so he didn't say anything, but he didn't expect that it had been a long time, and he still didn't make any movement.

"Oh." Xu Zhao said in a low voice.

This sound seemed to be suppressing something, Yu Nan's eyes glanced at him now, only this glance revealed that his face was a little red.

"You're not here, are you blushing?" Yu Nan asked soulfully, then he followed Xu Zhao's gaze, and gradually looked down, and saw that the initial location of the gaze was somewhere under his body.

He flicked Xu Zhao's head, "Look? Yellow waste?"

Xu Zhao rubbed his forehead, raised his head, "Don't talk nonsense, I am very pure, I am hot."

"Then what were you watching just now?"

Xu Zhao's face gradually recovered, and he looked serious, "I'm thinking about the necessary connection between the socialist core values ​​and the capitalist market economy?"

Yu Nan laughed, "Then have you figured it out?"

Xu Zhao still had a serious face, "No, I was interrupted by you."

"Then I have to say, sorry?"

"That's not necessary." Xu Zhao lowered his head again, and his eyes returned to the original place, "As long as you don't interrupt me, I want to continue thinking."

This serious nonsense made Yu Nan believe that he was a ghost.

He squeezed Xu Zhao's waist in the water, "Still thinking, hurry up and wash, will you see my parents?"

Xu Zhao sighed, "You can't have your cake and eat it too."

"Hurry up." Yu Nan urged.

Xu Zhao remained motionless, "You wash it for me."

Yu Nan smiled helplessly, "How old are you, Xu Zhao?"

Xu Zhao said lazily, "Three years old, Brother Yu help me take a bath."

After soaking for a while, Yu Nan felt that it was almost done, so she planned to get up.

He was afraid that Xu Zhao would not be able to bear it. If he had time to talk about it, it would not be good if he was in someone else's house now.

He stood up, "Brother Xu must learn to take a bath by himself, hurry up, come on!"

"Have you finished washing?" Xu Zhao looked up at him.

"Well, hurry up, I'll wait for you outside." Yu Nan was about to step out.

Xu Zhao grabbed him, "Then rubbing your back won't work?"

Yu Nan finally compromised, "Then turn around."

He had never rubbed someone's back before, and he didn't know how to do it. He just stood behind, helping Xu Zhao wash and massage.

Xu Zhao turned his back to him, with a large stove in front of him, "Yu Nan..."

While diverting Yu Nan's attention, he groped backwards with his hand, "Didn't your home be like this when you were young?"

Yu Nan rubbed him seriously, "Yeah."

"Then you bathed like this when you were a child?"

"Ah."

"Are you alone?"

"Otherwise with whom?" Yu Nan grabbed Yu Nan's hand, "Where do you want to touch?"

"I'll give you a massage too." Xu Zhao smiled shamelessly.

"No need." Yu Nan said.

"Then I can't replenish energy?" Xu Zhao said.

"What?" Yu Nan didn't understand.

Xu Zhao moved back at once, his back pressed against Yu Nan's chest, in the warm water, the tactile sensation, Xu Zhao said, "comfortable."

Grandma Zhang's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Ah Nan, have you finished washing? I took your grandpa Li's old clothes and put them at the door. You can change them later."

Yu Nan replied, "Understood."

Grandma Zhang said, "Wash quickly, the heat will dissipate quickly, don't turn around and catch a cold."

"Understood, thank you grandma."

Yu Nan turned her head, "Did you hear that?"

Xu Zhao, "I heard it."

Yu Nan wrapped his arms around his waist, and the two of them became inseparable immediately, "So, are you finished? Let's come out quickly, shall we?"

After Yu Nan said that, Xu Zhao had no choice but to listen to his words and stood up.

Yu Nan gently pushed the opening, and took the clothes from the door. The clothes seemed to be from many years ago. He handed Xu Zhao a set, "The clothes are a bit old, so let's wear them first."
