The environment on the mountain was indeed as Xin Ya’s father had said. It was very beautiful.
“We can totally develop tourism,”ye Cong put his phone into his pocket and said.
“It’s too dangerous to go up and down the mountain here. Even many people who live in the mountain get injured every year. Who would come here to play?”Xin Ya finished sending the text message and put her phone into her pocket as well. Then, she blew hot air into her hands.
Ye Cong watched. The next second, he reached out and grabbed her hand, then put it into his pocket.
Xin Ya:”…”
Gulp —
He swallowed his saliva unconsciously. He, he, what was he doing?
“Who’s going to apply medicine on my frozen hand?”
Xin Ya:”…”
Sorry, she was thinking too much.
Xin Ya brought ye Cong up the mountain and told him about the environment on the mountain. She told him that when she was in primary school, she had to get up at five in the morning every day and go down the mountain to go to school in town. At that time, the children in the mountain were always in class at nine in the morning, school ended at four in the afternoon. It was already very late when she got home.
Ye Cong felt incredulous. “How Old Were You Then?”
“How Old? I was only in primary school. I was seven or eight to eleven or twelve years old. Then, when we reached junior high school, we could live in the college and go home once a week,”Xin ya said as she stepped on the snow under her feet.
“Parents sent me?”
“How is that possible? It’s just a few friends from the village,”Xin ya said with a smile.
Ye Cong:”…”
Once again, he felt that it was not easy for their little girl to grow up.
“Why didn’t you go to college?”Ye Cong suddenly asked.
Xin Ya paused for a moment, her expression a little unnatural. “Miao Miao and Yangyang still have to go to school. Also, my dad had an accident a few years ago when he was working outside. As an older sister, I –”
Ye Cong stopped in his tracks and looked at the girl beside him. “Do you still want to go to college?”
Xin Ya shook her head. “I am doing quite well now. I can earn money and get them into a good college. Even if I can’t bring my parents away, at least I can let them live the life that they used to live.”
Ye Cong still wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not say it out loud. He continued walking forward with her.
From now on, he would be the guardian of this girl.
Ever since he was young, he had only used his father, his mother, and his so-called brothers and sisters. The only ones who treated him well were ye Yuwei when she was young. Unfortunately, he had left too early.
Xin Ya and he had completely different lives. Her family might be so poor that they could not even remove the pot from the pot. However, her father was kind and filial, and her mother was a good and obedient daughter. This was something that he could not buy with any amount of money.
Xin Ya’s father was only about ten years older than him, but he looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. It could be seen that they were not living well. Even so, his father’s face still had a smile on it. Those wrinkles.., it was all because of the smile.
The road up the mountain was not very easy to walk on. There were a few steep places. Xin Ya told him to slow down. In the past, it was often these places that caused accidents.
“Well, I told you. Our house is actually quite shabby. If you feel that you can’t stay there, I’ll bring you to the town to find a better place to stay.”The more they reached the village entrance, the more Xin ya felt uneasy, because she was afraid of being despised.
How could he despise the place that raised her?
“Let’s go.”Ye Cong said and let her continue to lead the way. He wanted to see what this house that Xin Ya had always exposed looked like.
