Mr. and Mrs. Jiang did not go to eat next door. They also have a lot of food in their own house. Although life is good now, they are not rich next door. The two and a half boys have been very sad when they ate in the past. The two old guys will follow. It's not plausible.
When the old lady saw this, she didn't say anything, she directly filled a big bowl for Xie Zheng to send back, and gave the two old people a taste. Anyway, she made a lot tonight.
The wonton with mussel filling tastes very good, and it is also Xu Ning’s favorite filling. At this time, everyone is sitting around the dinner table, everyone holding the big names and eating it is more hearty, even in the scorching heat. At night, who cares if it’s sweaty.
Xu Ning was okay, one bowl was enough, but the few men in front of him were Qin Zhao, who ate three bowls, and the most was Yin Ke. He burped and couldn't walk anymore.
So that Xu Ning and her grandmother were watching the watermelon and eating, but they shook their heads, indicating that there was no place to put anything in their stomachs.
Who is to blame, I still eat so much at night, isn't it late at night to fall asleep?
On Sunday, Xu Jianjun’s day off, the three of them carried a bamboo basket early in the morning, with a homemade fishing rod in their hands, greeted the two boys next door and went to the back mountain of the village.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a lotus pond, a large reservoir, and a small river that always flows throughout the year without a major drought. When she was young, Xu Ning liked to come here to play. She could not go to places with deep water, but she stood there. Inside the small stream, the cold water waded past, feeling that the heat would be washed away.
In addition, the small stream will follow the current, occasionally small fish and shrimp will flow down the water and flow into the lotus pond, so there are a lot of fish under the lotus pond. This trip is to carry a fishing rod and take a boat to fish in the middle of the lake.
Naturally, a small boat can’t fit the five of them, but there are many parked beside the lotus pond. They are all made of wood by the old carpenters in the village. The wood is available in the nearby mountains. It just takes a little effort to the left, and this boat is nothing. Too complicated and internal, just like the shape of a willow leaf, there is nothing in the middle, not even a awning.
In the past few decades, two or three new small willow-leaf boats have been built every year. After many years, there can be at least a dozen small boats on the side of the lotus pond. It is enough to play with the water chestnut lotus root.
"Xu Ning, can you swim?" Yin Ke asked around Xu Ning.
"No." She shook her head.
"You guard this good place, so learn it, otherwise it will be too wasteful."
When Xie Zheng heard this, he glared at Yin Ke, "Don't go into the water this time, don't you know that almost all drowned can swim."
"That's because they were not careful, but I was very cautious." Yin Ke retorted.
"Listen to Xiao Zheng, don't just enter the water casually. The stream next to it is a little deeper, so go there for a dip if you like."
"Uncle San, in that kind of shallow stream, it's like taking a bathtub at home, how boring."
"Hey, you kid." Xu Jianjun said in amusement. "You know that people from all over the world are drowning almost every year, so be careful."
"Well, this time I won't go into the water, let's just sit in a boat and fish."
On the road, many children walked towards the lotus pond in twos. They didn't get into the water very much. They usually took small boats to pick lotus and water chestnuts.
Before I got there, the green scene in front came into view. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is "The lotus leaf is infinite green", but the area of this lotus pond is really not small, let alone a small area of 20 acres. As for the location below, there is a large reservoir, which is quite a lot. So even if there is a severe drought, as long as it is not too long, their village still has water to irrigate the farmland.
It was still morning, and the sun was not too strong, and when they approached, they boarded two small boats separately.
I don't know if Yin Ke intended to change positions with Xu Ning, but Xu Ning, who wanted to be with his father, was thrown to Xie Zheng.
Xie Zheng praised the sensible Yin Ke in his heart and said to Xu Ning: "The third uncle is fishing, let's go and see if there are any lotus water chestnuts. It is estimated that the kids in the village have already picked it up."
"Okay." She doesn't know how to fish either, and she likes to shuttle in the lotus pond in a small boat.
After getting on the boat, Xie Zheng shook the oars, and the long slender boat shuttled between the lotus leaves. Sitting in the boat, there were just pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves all around, and there were even children in the village at noon. Just place the boat in the middle of the lotus leaf and take a refreshing nap.
"I'm here for the first time this year." Xu Ning raised his hand and swept across the lotus leaf with drops of water, and quickly wetted his hands.
I always feel that there are not many lotus flowers blooming up close. Only when I stand on the shore will I find that the pink lotuses are floating on the top, some are in full bloom, and some are budding. I remember when my mother was a child, my father also let my father from A piece of lotus root was dug and brought back here, and it was cultivated in a water tank in the courtyard. After two or three years of opening, it was completely withered. The lotus root was dug out, and it seemed to have turned black and deteriorated. Later, the mother cleaned it up. I lost the water tank and never raised it again.
"Summer vacation has just begun, this summer is still more than a month, you can often come to play." Xie Zheng thinks the atmosphere is very good now, want to break but fear backfire, his EQ is not enough.
"Brother Zheng, can you drink the water drops on the lotus leaf?" Xu Ning knelt down in the boat and looked up at the swaying water drops on the lotus leaf.
"thirsty?"
"No." Xu Ning shook his head, "I heard Grandpa Yao said that some ladies in the Qing Palace like to make tea with dew, just ask."
Grandpa Yao’s ancestor was the imperial physician of the Qing court. He naturally knew that, “Don’t drink this, who knows the hygiene is unhygienic. If you like it, collect it, go home and boil it before drinking it.”
"No need, so troublesome."
There are really not many lotus plants nowadays. Many mature ones have been picked off. Naturally, Xu Ning, who is immature, is not willing to pick it, otherwise it would be a waste.
Although it is a lotus pond, it is also divided into density. At this time, Xu Jianjun rowed a boat and stopped in a place that was still open.
"You can't actually catch any fish here. There are really many fish on the other side of the reservoir, and they are also big." Xu Jianjun said with a smile: "We will mainly look here in the morning, and go fishing by the reservoir in the afternoon, but Yin Ke, I don’t recommend that you go swimming there. The reservoir is very deep. The deepest part is at least thirty or forty meters. Several adults and children drown almost every year."
"...Oh Sanshu, don't say anything, I'm definitely not going to swim there anymore, don't let the water ghost drag me down." Yin Ke shuddered.
"That's right." Xu Jianjun laughed loudly. "The little stream above is just applauded. If you walk two or three hundred meters above the stream, you don't think the reservoir is ready."
"What's on it?" Yin Ke asked curiously.
"There is a small waterfall with pebbles washed out from below, and the deepest place is only over one meter, the others are only thirty or forty centimeters, so it's more comfortable to soak in..."
"Let's go over this afternoon, Sanshu, right?" He murmured Xie Zheng a few words, obviously there was a good place, but he didn't take him there.
"Okay!" Xu Jianjun nodded, "In the afternoon, we will all go over with clothes and take a good bath."
Qin Zhao was also very interested in hearing it beside him. He hadn't played in a wild river before he grew up.
Xie Zheng just kept shaking, Xu Ning said he would go there, and after a short time, he picked six or seven mature lotus plants.
"The quantity is a bit small. Brother Zheng, let's come over often later, pick some more, and then save it and stir-fry for the New Year." Xu Ning peeled off one with a knife and handed it to Xie Zheng. She also ate two of them. It is the fragrance of the cheeks and teeth, and the aftertaste is gone.
Xie Zheng nodded: "Listen to you."
After eating one piece, Xu Ning stuffed another one into Xie Zheng’s mouth, but felt the tip of the other party’s tongue sweep her fingertips. Xu Ning didn’t care too much, but Xie Zheng couldn’t sit still. .
"Ouch..." Suddenly wearing a shake, Xu Ning rushed forward.
Xie Zheng's expression changed, he hurriedly released the oars and stretched out his arms to fill the little girl. The gentle touch of nephrite made him almost groan, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.
Seeing the boat on which they lightly collided with their boat, Xie Zheng met the opponent's surprised and teasing smile, and said helplessly: "Brother Chuanzi, be careful, this boat will not be hit."
"Ningning is okay? Brother, this is not careful." It was Chuanzi, the son of the village chief's family, and Xu Cuiyun, the youngest daughter of the village chief's family, came on the boat.
Seeing the situation here, the little girl stood up with her arms akimbo and rushed to the embolus and said, "Brother, look at you, I told you to slow down, you are always so rough."
"Yes, yes, brother's fault, brother apologize..." Although Shuanzi is a little foolish, his character is not bad, but sometimes his glib tongue is annoying.
The two sides said a few words, Chuanzi rowed a small boat to go another way. This is also an unwritten rule. People walk here, they naturally have to change places. Anyway, the lotus pond is so big, unless there is a contradiction between them, they have to be here. One piece to grab something.
Xu Ning went back to do a good job again, and Xie Zheng continued rowing quietly.
The fragrant little girl, whose bones are soft, will have to find opportunities to hug a few more times, and then find opportunities to hug her for a lifetime.
Just looking at Xu Ning's lack of shyness, Brother Zheng felt so bitter in his heart, it was more bitter than eating unprocessed lotus seeds.
In one morning, Xu Ning found only a dozen lotus plants. If there were too many, he could pick dozens or hundreds of plants this morning.
At the door of the house, Yin Ke said that he would not go to bed at noon. After eating, he went to the small waterfall. Then, while complaining to Xie Zheng, he entered the house.
As for the few of them who fished, they really didn't gain anything at all.
Really purely saw the scenery.
After lunch, Qin Zhao called Xu Ning to go out to play. Xu Ning, seeing their posture, knew that these people were going to the Houshan waterfall. It was inconvenient for her to go with her alone, so she shook her head and refused.
Take advantage of the afternoon to do your homework at home. I finished it a long time ago at this time last summer, and I still have less than half of it now.
The old lady went to the house for lunch, and Qin Xuejuan was sitting in the hall and guarding the small dumplings in the crib. Xu Ning also set up the table in the hall and chatted with his mother while doing homework.
In the back mountain, when the four men came here, there were already three or five boys inside.
But this time, Yin Ke did not dislike it. Looking at the small waterfall less than two meters wide, it rushed down. This is the living water. If it were a swimming pool, he might still dislike it and swim twice. Here is even more so. The pressure is gone.
When several children saw Xu Jianjun, they all said hello.
Yin Ke couldn't help it anymore, took off his shirt and big pants, wore black underwear, squirted water on his body, and then walked in.
"Oh, it's so comfortable." Now the temperature at noon is enough to reach 30 degrees, but the hot people are peeling off the skin, but the climate here is not too good compared to the imperial capital, after all, water will not appear to be dry, the imperial capital's Summer is really dry and dry.
The other three also stepped into the water and sighed in satisfaction.
"Uncle San, there is no big girl here, right?" Yin Ke smelled.
Xie Zheng raised his hand and threw a handful of water on his head, "I want to be messy again, do you think this is Journey to the West or the Seven Fairies."
"Tsk, I'm not Zhu Bajie, let alone Dong Yong, but just ask casually. Besides, I'm afraid that a woman will show me up. This is a precautionary measure." His second son Yin is not lustful.
"People are still afraid of being watched by you." Xu Jianjun couldn't laugh or cry. "Don't worry, there is no woman here."
"That's good." After that, Yin Ke went a little deeper, and the dog digs away.
After that, the number of boys gradually increased, and even the married men came in twos and threes, and soon under the waterfall almost became the number 20 or 30.
Fortunately, this waterfall pool is not small, and these dozens of people don’t appear crowded. The four of them simply sit not too far from the waterfall. Anyway, it also occupies the upper reaches. The four men are obviously rare in the countryside. People who love cleanliness.
Today’s rural areas are no better than in the future. It’s good for ordinary people to take a bath for ten and a half days, and some don’t take a bath every winter.
Not to mention that Qin Zhao and Yin Ke are from the city. Xu Jianjun and Xie Zheng, who grew up here, take two baths in the morning and evening in summer and one every two days in winter. It would be uncomfortable not to take a bath for a long time.
The little dumpling who was sleeping soundly in the crib suddenly groaned. Xu Ning thought he was urinating and hurriedly prepared to help his mother change his brother's diaper.
Qin Xuejuan glanced at it and said with a smile: "Maybe it's a dream."
"Can you dream at such a young age?" Xu Ning curiously looked at the little dumpling who had slept peacefully, and reached out and poked his fisted little hand twice. The little one looks a lot older now. First of all, this little hand becomes fleshy, and the little face is even softer, really like a small glutinous rice dumpling, white and soft.
"Of course it will!" Qin Xuejuan smiled softly, "I just don't know what I dreamed of."
"It must be delicious." Xu Ning chuckled, "Little greedy cat."
The appetite for this little dumpling is actually quite big, but fortunately the mother has enough milk.
I rearranged the thin blanket on my son, "Your high school is going to the county, right?"
"Well, I said before the holiday. Brother Zheng is going to the county to study in high school. I heard that he can only come back at noon on Saturday, and he has to go back to school on Sunday afternoon, otherwise it will delay morning study."
"Yes, your grandmother Gao has prepared the bedding for Xiaozheng at home during this period." She looked at her daughter and smiled softly: "Xiaozheng is a boy anyway, you really can't bear to go to mom, the school is sultry in the summer. It's cold in winter."
"Don't worry, I'm not the only girl, let alone two more years." Xu Ning still ranked third in the class for the final exam, but was six points behind Lu Kang, who was the first one, and was the second The second place Yang Bo is two points away, but her ranking in the grade has risen a lot. She has entered the top ten of the grade. Her goal is to continue to work hard and strive to graduate with the first place in the school.
Qin Xuejuan now has both sons and daughters, and her daughter is sensible and can study well. Her son can't see much now, but she can't be crooked. Her mother-in-law cares and her husband loves her.
She is now waiting for her son to be weaned and handed over to her mother-in-law to take care of her. After that, she will start a small business. Otherwise, the family will only rely on her husband’s salary and will definitely be stretched in the future. Both of them are spoiled children. The money is spent on my daughter alone, and now there is an extra little guy, it won’t work if I don’t work hard.
This summer vacation was a happy and fulfilling one. It was not until one week before school started that Qin Zhao and Yin Ke agreed to go back together.
Because Qin Zhao came here by car, he didn't need to take a bus when he left. It was convenient and quick for Qin Zhao to send him to the railway station in the city.
There is nothing particularly valuable in the rural home. Before leaving, Qin Xuejuan prepared Qin Zhao a bag of dried sausages and a little home-grown tomatoes.
Qin Zhao's side is okay. Although he is reluctant, he can come often in the future.
However, because Yin Ke was about to return home, he was so mad that he even cried and said that he was going back and transferred to another school. Of course, this was just a joke and couldn't be true.
However, it can also be seen that the three generations of officials in the imperial capital of Yin Ke are casual and free. Unlike some urbanites, they are disgusting when they mention the countryside. On the contrary, he is extremely reluctant and even lie on the window of the car. , Chongjiang's family yelled, come to play in the first month.
The two families sent the two of them out of the village all the way, watching the black car gradually disappearing into the distance, and then came back together.
Next, it is time for Xie Zheng to explain the knowledge of the new semester and check homework to Xu Ning.
There is almost nothing wrong with the homework, which also gives Xie Zheng a sense of accomplishment. This is the little girl he taught himself.
Is this the so-called, the formation of a sweet wife?
"Brother Zheng..." Suddenly seeing Xie Zheng in a daze, Xu Ning called out several times.
"Well, what's the matter?" Xie Zheng raised his hand and held the waving hand in front of him. "Think of something."
"I asked Grandma Gao to prepare everything for you?" Xu Ning withdrew her hand, only to find that the other party was a little tight.
Xie Zheng nodded unhurriedly, spreading out Xu Ning's hand, the lines on his palm were clear and orderly, not at all messy, but warm and moist, with an excellent touch.
"Even if we can't go to and from school together, I will help you with tuition during the break, so we must study hard and go to the Imperial Capital University in the future."
"..." Xu Ning was silent, so let go first?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang did not go to eat next door. They also have a lot of food in their own house. Although life is good now, they are not rich next door. The two and a half boys have been very sad when they ate in the past. The two old guys will follow. It's not plausible.

"Can you dream at such a young age?" Xu Ning curiously looked at the little dumpling who had slept peacefully, and reached out and poked his fisted little hand twice. The little one looks a lot older now. First of all, this little hand becomes fleshy, and the little face is even softer, really like a small glutinous rice dumpling, white and soft.
"Of course it will!" Qin Xuejuan smiled softly, "I just don't know what I dreamed of."
"It must be delicious." Xu Ning chuckled, "Little greedy cat."
The appetite for this little dumpling is actually quite big, but fortunately the mother has enough milk.
I rearranged the thin blanket on my son, "Your high school is going to the county, right?"
"Well, I said before the holiday. Brother Zheng is going to the county to study in high school. I heard that he can only come back at noon on Saturday, and he has to go back to school on Sunday afternoon, otherwise it will delay morning study."
"Yes, your grandmother Gao has prepared the bedding for Xiaozheng at home during this period." She looked at her daughter and smiled softly: "Xiaozheng is a boy anyway, you really can't bear to go to mom, the school is sultry in the summer. It's cold in winter."
"Don't worry, I'm not the only girl, let alone two more years." Xu Ning still ranked third in the class for the final exam, but was six points behind Lu Kang, who was the first one, and was the second The second place Yang Bo is two points away, but her ranking in the grade has risen a lot. She has entered the top ten of the grade. Her goal is to continue to work hard and strive to graduate with the first place in the school.
Qin Xuejuan now has both sons and daughters, and her daughter is sensible and can study well. Her son can't see much now, but she can't be crooked. Her mother-in-law cares and her husband loves her.
She is now waiting for her son to be weaned and handed over to her mother-in-law to take care of her. After that, she will start a small business. Otherwise, the family will only rely on her husband’s salary and will definitely be stretched in the future. Both of them are spoiled children. The money is spent on my daughter alone, and now there is an extra little guy, it won’t work if I don’t work hard.
This summer vacation was a happy and fulfilling one. It was not until one week before school started that Qin Zhao and Yin Ke agreed to go back together.
Because Qin Zhao came here by car, he didn't need to take a bus when he left. It was convenient and quick for Qin Zhao to send him to the railway station in the city.
There is nothing particularly valuable in the rural home. Before leaving, Qin Xuejuan prepared Qin Zhao a bag of dried sausages and a little home-grown tomatoes.
Qin Zhao's side is okay. Although he is reluctant, he can come often in the future.
However, because Yin Ke was about to return home, he was so mad that he even cried and said that he was going back and transferred to another school. Of course, this was just a joke and couldn't be true.
However, it can also be seen that the three generations of officials in the imperial capital of Yin Ke are casual and free. Unlike some urbanites, they are disgusting when they mention the countryside. On the contrary, he is extremely reluctant and even lie on the window of the car. , Chongjiang's family yelled, come to play in the first month.
The two families sent the two of them out of the village all the way, watching the black car gradually disappearing into the distance, and then came back together.
Next, it is time for Xie Zheng to explain the knowledge of the new semester and check homework to Xu Ning.
There is almost nothing wrong with the homework, which also gives Xie Zheng a sense of accomplishment. This is the little girl he taught himself.
Is this the so-called, the formation of a sweet wife?
"Brother Zheng..." Suddenly seeing Xie Zheng in a daze, Xu Ning called out several times.
"Well, what's the matter?" Xie Zheng raised his hand and held the waving hand in front of him. "Think of something."
"I asked Grandma Gao to prepare everything for you?" Xu Ning withdrew her hand, only to find that the other party was a little tight.
Xie Zheng nodded unhurriedly, spreading out Xu Ning's hand, the lines on his palm were clear and orderly, not at all messy, but warm and moist, with an excellent touch.
"Even if we can't go to and from school together, I will help you with tuition during the break, so we must study hard and go to the Imperial Capital University in the future."
"..." Xu Ning was silent, so let go first?
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang did not go to eat next door. They also have a lot of food in their own house. Although life is good now, they are not rich next door. The two and a half boys have been very sad when they ate in the past. The two old guys will follow. It's not plausible.When the old lady saw this, she didn't say anything, she directly filled a big bowl for Xie Zheng to send back, and gave the two old people a taste. Anyway, she made a lot tonight.The wonton with mussel filling tastes very good, and it is also Xu Ning's favorite filling. At this time, everyone is sitting around the dinner table, everyone holding the big names and eating it is more hearty, even in the scorching heat. At night, who cares if it's sweaty.Xu Ning was okay, one bowl was enough, but the few men in front of him were Qin Zhao, who ate three bowls, and the most was Yin Ke. He burped and couldn't walk anymore.So that Xu Ning and her grandmother were watching the watermelon and eating, but they shook their heads, indicating that there was no place to put anything in their stomachs.Who is to blame, I still eat so much at night, isn't it late at night to fall asleep?On Sunday, Xu Jianjun's day off, the three of them carried a bamboo basket early in the morning, with a homemade fishing rod in their hands, greeted the two boys next door and went to the back mountain of the village.At the foot of the mountain, there is a lotus pond, a large reservoir, and a small river that always flows throughout the year without a major drought. When she was young, Xu Ning liked to come here to play. She could not go to places with deep water, but she stood there. Inside the small stream, the cold water waded past, feeling that the heat would be washed away.In addition, the small stream will follow the current, occasionally small fish and shrimp will flow down the water and flow into the lotus pond, so there are a lot of fish under the lotus pond. This trip is to carry a fishing rod and take a boat to fish in the middle of the lake.Naturally, a small boat can't fit the five of them, but there are many parked beside the lotus pond. They are all made of wood by the old carpenters in the village. The wood is available in the nearby mountains. It just takes a little effort to the left, and this boat is nothing. Too complicated and internal, just like the shape of a willow leaf, there is nothing in the middle, not even a awning.In the past few decades, two or three new small willow-leaf boats have been built every year. After many years, there can be at least a dozen small boats on the side of the lotus pond. It is enough to play with the water chestnut lotus root."Xu Ning, can you swim?" Yin Ke asked around Xu Ning."No." She shook her head."You guard this good place, so learn it, otherwise it will be too wasteful."When Xie Zheng heard this, he glared at Yin Ke, "Don't go into the water this time, don't you know that almost all drowned can swim.""That's because they were not careful, but I was very cautious." Yin Ke retorted."Listen to Xiao Zheng, don't just enter the water casually. The stream next to it is a little deeper, so go there for a dip if you like.""Uncle San, in that kind of shallow stream, it's like taking a bathtub at home, how boring.""Hey, you kid." Xu Jianjun said in amusement. "You know that people from all over the world are drowning almost every year, so be careful.""Well, this time I won't go into the water, let's just sit in a boat and fish."On the road, many children walked towards the lotus pond in twos. They didn't get into the water very much. They usually took small boats to pick lotus and water chestnuts.Before I got there, the green scene in front came into view. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is "The lotus leaf is infinite green", but the area of this lotus pond is really not small, let alone a small area of 20 acres. As for the location below, there is a large reservoir, which is quite a lot. So even if there is a severe drought, as long as it is not too long, their village still has water to irrigate the farmland.It was still morning, and the sun was not too strong, and when they approached, they boarded two small boats separately.I don't know if Yin Ke intended to change positions with Xu Ning, but Xu Ning, who wanted to be with his father, was thrown to Xie Zheng.Xie Zheng praised the sensible Yin Ke in his heart and said to Xu Ning: "The third uncle is fishing, let's go and see if there are any lotus water chestnuts. It is estimated that the kids in the village have already picked it up.""Okay." She doesn't know how to fish either, and she likes to shuttle in the lotus pond in a small boat.After getting on the boat, Xie Zheng shook the oars, and the long slender boat shuttled between the lotus leaves. Sitting in the boat, there were just pink lotus flowers and green lotus leaves all around, and there were even children in the village at noon. Just place the boat in the middle of the lotus leaf and take a refreshing nap."I'm here for the first time this year." Xu Ning raised his hand and swept across the lotus leaf with drops of water, and quickly wetted his hands.I always feel that there are not many lotus flowers blooming up close. Only when I stand on the shore will I find that the pink lotuses are floating on the top, some are in full bloom, and some are budding. I remember when my mother was a child, my father also let my father from A piece of lotus root was dug and brought back here, and it was cultivated in a water tank in the courtyard. After two or three years of opening, it was completely withered. The lotus root was dug out, and it seemed to have turned black and deteriorated. Later, the mother cleaned it up. I lost the water tank and never raised it again."Summer vacation has just begun, this summer is still more than a month, you can often come to play." Xie Zheng thinks the atmosphere is very good now, want to break but fear backfire, his EQ is not enough."Brother Zheng, can you drink the water drops on the lotus leaf?" Xu Ning knelt down in the boat and looked up at the swaying water drops on the lotus leaf."thirsty?""No." Xu Ning shook his head, "I heard Grandpa Yao said that some ladies in the Qing Palace like to make tea with dew, just ask."Grandpa Yao's ancestor was the imperial physician of the Qing court. He naturally knew that, Don't drink this, who knows the hygiene is unhygienic. If you like it, collect it, go home and boil it before drinking it."No need, so troublesome."There are really not many lotus plants nowadays. Many mature ones have been picked off. Naturally, Xu Ning, who is immature, is not willing to pick it, otherwise it would be a waste.Although it is a lotus pond, it is also divided into density. At this time, Xu Jianjun rowed a boat and stopped in a place that was still open."You can't actually catch any fish here. There are really many fish on the other side of the reservoir, and they are also big." Xu Jianjun said with a smile: "We will mainly look here in the morning, and go fishing by the reservoir in the afternoon, but Yin Ke, I don't recommend that you go swimming there. The reservoir is very deep. The deepest part is at least thirty or forty meters. Several adults and children drown almost every year.""...Oh Sanshu, don't say anything, I'm definitely not going to swim there anymore, don't let the water ghost drag me down." Yin Ke shuddered."That's right." Xu Jianjun laughed loudly. "The little stream above is just applauded. If you walk two or three hundred meters above the stream, you don't think the reservoir is ready.""What's on it?" Yin Ke asked curiously."There is a small waterfall with pebbles washed out from below, and the deepest place is only over one meter, the others are only thirty or forty centimeters, so it's more comfortable to soak in...""Let's go over this afternoon, Sanshu, right?" He murmured Xie Zheng a few words, obviously there was a good place, but he didn't take him there."Okay!" Xu Jianjun nodded, "In the afternoon, we will all go over with clothes and take a good bath."Qin Zhao was also very interested in hearing it beside him. He hadn't played in a wild river before he grew up.Xie Zheng just kept shaking, Xu Ning said he would go there, and after a short time, he picked six or seven mature lotus plants."The quantity is a bit small. Brother Zheng, let's come over often later, pick some more, and then save it and stir-fry for the New Year." Xu Ning peeled off one with a knife and handed it to Xie Zheng. She also ate two of them. It is the fragrance of the cheeks and teeth, and the aftertaste is gone.Xie Zheng nodded: "Listen to you."After eating one piece, Xu Ning stuffed another one into Xie Zheng's mouth, but felt the tip of the other party's tongue sweep her fingertips. Xu Ning didn't care too much, but Xie Zheng couldn't sit still. ."Ouch..." Suddenly wearing a shake, Xu Ning rushed forward.Xie Zheng's expression changed, he hurriedly released the oars and stretched out his arms to fill the little girl. The gentle touch of nephrite made him almost groan, so he had to grit his teeth and endure it.Seeing the boat on which they lightly collided with their boat, Xie Zheng met the opponent's surprised and teasing smile, and said helplessly: "Brother Chuanzi, be careful, this boat will not be hit.""Ningning is okay? Brother, this is not careful." It was Chuanzi, the son of the village chief's family, and Xu Cuiyun, the youngest daughter of the village chief's family, came on the boat.Seeing the situation here, the little girl stood up with her arms akimbo and rushed to the embolus and said, "Brother, look at you, I told you to slow down, you are always so rough.""Yes, yes, brother's fault, brother apologize..." Although Shuanzi is a little foolish, his character is not bad, but sometimes his glib tongue is annoying.The two sides said a few words, Chuanzi rowed a small boat to go another way. This is also an unwritten rule. People walk here, they naturally have to change places. Anyway, the lotus pond is so big, unless there is a contradiction between them, they have to be here. One piece to grab something.Xu Ning went back to do a good job again, and Xie Zheng continued rowing quietly.The fragrant little girl, whose bones are soft, will have to find opportunities to hug a few more times, and then find opportunities to hug her for a lifetime.Just looking at Xu Ning's lack of shyness, Brother Zheng felt so bitter in his heart, it was more bitter than eating unprocessed lotus seeds.In one morning, Xu Ning found only a dozen lotus plants. If there were too many, he could pick dozens or hundreds of plants this morning.At the door of the house, Yin Ke said that he would not go to bed at noon. After eating, he went to the small waterfall. Then, while complaining to Xie Zheng, he entered the house.As for the few of them who fished, they really didn't gain anything at all.Really purely saw the scenery.After lunch, Qin Zhao called Xu Ning to go out to play. Xu Ning, seeing their posture, knew that these people were going to the Houshan waterfall. It was inconvenient for her to go with her alone, so she shook her head and refused.Take advantage of the afternoon to do your homework at home. I finished it a long time ago at this time last summer, and I still have less than half of it now.The old lady went to the house for lunch, and Qin Xuejuan was sitting in the hall and guarding the small dumplings in the crib. Xu Ning also set up the table in the hall and chatted with his mother while doing homework.In the back mountain, when the four men came here, there were already three or five boys inside.But this time, Yin Ke did not dislike it. Looking at the small waterfall less than two meters wide, it rushed down. This is the living water. If it were a swimming pool, he might still dislike it and swim twice. Here is even more so. The pressure is gone.When several children saw Xu Jianjun, they all said hello.Yin Ke couldn't help it anymore, took off his shirt and big pants, wore black underwear, squirted water on his body, and then walked in."Oh, it's so comfortable." Now the temperature at noon is enough to reach 30 degrees, but the hot people are peeling off the skin, but the climate here is not too good compared to the imperial capital, after all, water will not appear to be dry, the imperial capital's Summer is really dry and dry.The other three also stepped into the water and sighed in satisfaction."Uncle San, there is no big girl here, right?" Yin Ke smelled.Xie Zheng raised his hand and threw a handful of water on his head, "I want to be messy again, do you think this is Journey to the West or the Seven Fairies.""Tsk, I'm not Zhu Bajie, let alone Dong Yong, but just ask casually. Besides, I'm afraid that a woman will show me up. This is a precautionary measure." His second son Yin is not lustful."People are still afraid of being watched by you." Xu Jianjun couldn't laugh or cry. "Don't worry, there is no woman here.""That's good." After that, Yin Ke went a little deeper, and the dog digs away.After that, the number of boys gradually increased, and even the married men came in twos and threes, and soon under the waterfall almost became the number 20 or 30.Fortunately, this waterfall pool is not small, and these dozens of people don't appear crowded. The four of them simply sit not too far from the waterfall. Anyway, it also occupies the upper reaches. The four men are obviously rare in the countryside. People who love cleanliness.Today's rural areas are no better than in the future. It's good for ordinary people to take a bath for ten and a half days, and some don't take a bath every winter.Not to mention that Qin Zhao and Yin Ke are from the city. Xu Jianjun and Xie Zheng, who grew up here, take two baths in the morning and evening in summer and one every two days in winter. It would be uncomfortable not to take a bath for a long time.The little dumpling who was sleeping soundly in the crib suddenly groaned. Xu Ning thought he was urinating and hurriedly prepared to help his mother change his brother's diaper.Qin Xuejuan glanced at it and said with a smile: "Maybe it's a dream.""Can you dream at such a young age?" Xu Ning curiously looked at the little dumpling who had slept peacefully, and reached out and poked his fisted little hand twice. The little one looks a lot older now.

Xu Ning still ranked third in the class for the final exam, but was six points behind Lu Kang, who was the first one, and was the second The second place Yang Bo is two points away, but her ranking in the grade has risen a lot. She has entered the top ten of the grade. Her goal is to continue to work hard and strive to graduate with the first place in the school.Qin Xuejuan now has both sons and daughters, and her daughter is sensible and can study well.

Xu Ning was silent, so let go first?
