Zhou Li stood on the edge of the roof and leaned down to look down.

There is a small tilted lid on the glazed tile, and you have to poke out a lot to see the road.

In the dimming light, the white cement road reflecting the light is the most conspicuous, and even a little unrealistically bright. A dog came up from above with cheerful steps and walked down the street. There were a few old ladies sitting under the eaves diagonally opposite the door and chatting. There was an uncle who was smoking a cigarette and walking down the street, and a scarlet bright spot could be seen in the dark, and as his inhalation became brighter, it darkened again in an instant, and when he met an acquaintance, he would stop and say hello, and the sound was very decibels.

The street lamp opposite the door was on, and moths flew around.

It's summer in the countryside.

Zhou Li spied on his childhood memories, but unfortunately he didn't see fireflies, and in his memories of midsummer evenings, in addition to swallows frolicking in the sky, annoying mosquitoes and fluttering bats, there should also be bright green points of light.

Maybe it's the wrong month? June or July, right?

I hope so.

The second uncle's shout came from below, telling them to go down and eat watermelon, and everyone went downstairs.

The watermelon was bought at dinner, transported by a tricycle, and when he heard the sound of selling, the second uncle went out and picked out a few big ones, and put them in the refrigerator to calm it down, most of them were of little use.

Sure enough, the watermelon only had a little bit of ice.

It's very sweet, sandy.

As soon as he took a bite, it melted in his mouth, the sandy flesh and rich juice filled his mouth, and even flowed down the corners of his mouth, and the neckline of Zhou Li's white shirt soon had a few light red marks. Combined with what he had seen and heard on the rooftop, he finally felt the smell of summer on the second day of May.

And it was felt more clearly than in previous years.

After eating watermelon, the teenagers in the prime of their youth chatted while playing cards, and played until late at night before going to sleep.

Summer itself is the season of youth.

May 3rd.

In the morning, they still went to crayfish fishing, and in the afternoon, Brother Nan took them to the river for barbecue and caught a lot of crabs on the river beach.

There are a lot of crabs on the river beach, just find a stone, move it away or lift it, and the crabs below will immediately scatter in panic, the number is extremely large, and how much you can catch depends on your personal ability.

Brother Nan's painting style of catching crabs is different from others.

The crab clamped people very painfully, and the others chose a big one, or one close to them, carefully pressed its back, so that it could not move, and then pinched its back shell to pick it up, so that it could not catch people. And Brother Nan didn't care about 3721 and grabbed it directly, he paid attention to his quick eyes, and directly grabbed a few of them, pinched them tightly, and didn't give them room to resist.

The style of painting is also different.

He's any crab clip.

Not only that, but when he was caught by a crab, judging from his expression, he actually felt very comfortable?

In the local dialect, the crab is called Panhai, and this kind of crab is called Tiepanhai, which means that there is no meat, but it is quite fragrant when it is fried, but I don't want to eat it if I can't eat a few.

On May 4th, we met at the scene.

Zhou Li got up early in the morning, went to help light the fire, and then sat at the door with a bowl to eat breakfast.

Brother Nan hasn't gotten up yet.

The streets were not yet lively, after all, it had just dawned, and it was still blue, and only a few people who set up stalls came from above with burdens and backpacks.

After breakfast, the number of people began to increase.

Zhou Li waited, waited.

Brother Nan finally woke up.

She yawned and came down from the stairs, her hair was a little messy, and a tuft of dull hair on the top of her head was raised high, she scratched her head and greeted Zhou Li-

"Morning. ”

"Early. ”

"Why are you up so early?"

"Rush to the scene. ”

"I almost forgot! No hurry, it's not the most busy time. Brother Nan waved his hand, and took out the mirror and comb, "I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

"I'm not in a hurry. ”

"Ang ......"

Brother Nan seemed to deliberately hang his appetite, slowly tidying up himself, eating breakfast slowly, occasionally chatting with a few other classmates, or a few words of homely cooking with a relative who also came to the scene.

Zhou Li waited silently beside him, and he didn't say a word.

It's past nine o'clock.

Brother Nan wiped his mouth clean and asked the others: "I took Zhou Li out to catch up with the scene, will you go?"

"I'm going!" Huai Xu was very positive.

"Don't go. Kang Xueer said.

"Don't go. Zhang Hao said.

"Don't go. Jiang Han said.

“...... Then I'm not going either, I'll wait and go by myself. Huai Xu's expression was a little embarrassed.

"I'm going. Li Dong said.

"No!" Brother Nan frowned and looked at him, "You want to eat barbecue as soon as you go to the street, you are not allowed to go!"

"I don't eat barbecue. ”

"Don't go. ”

"I don't really eat it. ”

"No!

Although the younger brother of "......" didn't know what he had done wrong, he still didn't dare to say anything, and stood aggrieved, picking his fingers.

"Let's go!" Brother Nan looked at Zhou Li.

"Oooh!"

Zhou Li didn't come back to his senses a little, but Brother Nan had already stepped out of the door, wearing a pair of old sandals, and he could only hurry up.

The two walked side by side half a meter apart.

"Now the rush is not as lively as before, there are few people, and there is no one to watch, so I can only buy vegetables. Brother Nan described to Zhou Li, "I remember that when I rushed to the scene in the past, the whole street was full of people, crowded with people, some selling scallion pancakes, some doing acrobatics, and some selling medicine and wine with all kinds of poisonous snakes in a sack, but now even those selling fake medicines are rarely seen." ”

"There are barbecue sellers. ”

"Do you want to eat?"

"Let's buy some later. Zhou Li felt that Li Dong was very pitiful, other younger brothers were just bullied by their sisters when they were young, and they could change their status when they were older, and Li Dong estimated that he would not be able to beat his sister in this life.

"Okay!" Brother Nan agreed very happily, "Actually, that barbecue tastes good, better than many barbecues in the city." ”

"That's right. ”

Brother Nan has long been accustomed to Zhou Li's personality and way of speaking, it just so happens that she is not a person who needs others to answer enthusiastically to carry on the conversation, so she doesn't care, Yu Guang saw that there was a small watermelon seller next to her, she pointed to Zhou Li and said: "Do you see the one who sells small watermelons?" Why don't we buy one, cut it in half, use a spoon, and eat while walking." ”

"Eating while walking, doesn't it look good?" Zhou Li looked left and right, there were many people, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Huh?"

"You didn't bring a spoon again. Zhou Li changed his reasoning.

"Who said I didn't bring it?"

I saw Brother Nan put his hand into his trouser pocket, as if playing a trick, and felt out a spoon at once. She rubbed her fingers lightly again, like two cards stacked on top of each other, and two spoons appeared in front of Zhou Li's eyes.

She took a handful and gave it to Zhou Li.

The jeans are fitted with a spoon in your trouser pocket...... Zhou Li was still hot in his hand.

Small watermelons are sold for five yuan.

So the two of them who were walking empty-handed became holding watermelons and eating while walking, pointing to something from time to time to discuss a few words, and passers-by would glance at them when they saw it.

In addition, Brother Nan's walking, demeanor, and every move are a little cynical and hanging...... Zhou Li always felt that he was also a little arrogant.

"Let's have lunch today and then go. Brother Nan said.

"Ahh ”

"What are you doing?"

"Distracted. ”

"What do you want?" Brother Nan looked at Zhou Li, but before Zhou Li could answer, she answered for him, "Isn't it a feeling of fluttering when you walk with your eldest brother?"

"Yes. ”

"Ang! There's a lot of lobsters left. ”

"I'll take some with you. ”

"Bring more, they don't like it, and they won't get it. Brother Nan said, and suddenly asked him again, "Are you okay these days?"

"Good. ”

Zhou Li caught a glimpse of Brother Nan secretly looking at him, so he thought about it and extended his answer: "I'm very happy." ”

He paused again: "I was also in the countryside when I was a child, but I almost didn't do this, and after a few days, I feel that I may have missed a lot of good things before." ”

"Uh......" Brother Nan thought for a while and said, "You're about the same age now, it's not too late." ”

"Yes. ”

It's really not too late, and it's not yet old enough to be embarrassed to stand on the edge of the field.

So thank you very much, Brother Nan.
