After eating, they sat and chatted for a while, and in order to pass the afternoon, a group of young people divided into three groups.

Playing ball, surfing the Internet and singing.

Brother Nan takes good care of her former and future tablemates, she said: "Are you going to play ball with me or go to the Internet with me, I don't think you like to sing very much, you are thin-skinned." ”

"Forget it, I don't like the Internet either. ”

"By whom?"

Brother Nan still remembers the clown girl who was banned due to the headshot, and Zhou Li's excited expression at that time.

Zhou Li thought for a while and said, "I have to go to a little girl's place in the afternoon to help her with tuition, and I have already said that it will be good." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm. ”

"Okay, then you can go. ”

"What about you?"

"I ......" Brother Nan thought about it, just now her mother drank wine and pulled her to tell her that she was already a big girl, Brother Nan deeply understood the meaning of her mother's words, obviously telling her to stop indulging in games and messing around in Internet cafes all day long-

"I'm going to sing!"

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Nan. ”

"You can take a taxi, so sunny. ”

"Uh-huh. ”

Walking out of the community, Zhou Li did not take a taxi.

The sun has slanted to the west, illuminating the highway as if reflecting, and there is a narrow shadow at the door of the shop on the left, and Zhou Li walks slowly along this shadow, passing by the door of the store from time to time.

Huai Xu asked on the side, "Is it really that delicious?"

"Really. ”

"That sauerkraut fish really doesn't have any spines?"

"A lot of fish have no spines, or few spines, and you can slice the meat and make it so that there are no spines in the meat. ”

"Is that mapo tofu really so delicious?"

"This dish is the best test of Master Yicai's skills. ”

"I want to eat so much!" Huai Xu said, "Why don't you go and get Brother Nan, she is good-looking and worthy of you, and then when the relationship between your two families becomes better, I will attend as your friend, hehehe......"

"You're laughing stupidly. ”

"Hmm!"

When he got home, Zhou Li looked through his phone and found that Wu Yuanliang had just updated a non-mainstream space talk.

Well, the content is very literary.

In the end, I still vaguely wish Brother Nan a good life.

Tut!

Zhou Li was embarrassed.

There are also a few red-dyed messages on WeChat -

Red dyeing: My sister is so lonely alone.

Red Dye: When are you going to play with my sister?

Red Dye: Do you want to come to Chunming in advance to familiarize yourself with the campus environment, my sister lives very close to your school!

Red Dye: You come early, how about my sister take you to eat the Hundred Worm Feast?

Red Dye: What about roasted peacocks?

Red dyeing: The opportunity is rare, and the heart is not moved.

These messages were not sent together, but intermittently, with intervals ranging from a few minutes to half an hour between each one, and Zhou Li could probably see how boring Hongdye really was.

So he replied: No!

......

In a blink of an eye, it's August.

The lunar calendar is July.

In July, the weather turned cooler.

The beginning of autumn has passed.

Tanabata has also passed.

If Zhou Li didn't look at the calendar, he wouldn't know about these solar terms at all, but the weather was getting colder and colder, and he felt that this year's summer seemed to be extraordinarily unrehearsable, coming late and going early.

August 15 is also July 15.

Zhou Li looked at the wall calendar on the wall and said, "This year, the dates of August of the Gregorian calendar and the seventh month of the lunar calendar are synchronized. ”

Huai Xu leaned over the bay window and said strangely, "Is this any point?"

"It doesn't make sense. ”

Zhou Li just thought it was funny.

The school is still half a month away, and he has to make some preparations in advance, and before that, he has to go to the Yinyang Temple again.

At least I have to be separated from Zheng Zhilandao.

So he told Aunt Jiang about it in advance, and the tutor also said hello and got up early in the morning.

First put the four books that Zheng Zhilan gave him into his schoolbag, he worked overtime a few days ago to read the last book about history, and it was a little sloppy and could not connect the life of Chunshan Daoren well, Zhou Li was a little regretful.

immediately called Zheng Zhilan and asked her what she lacked, and he brought it to her.

Go out and go to the supermarket.

Zheng Zhilan didn't be polite to him, and the most she asked for was the hot pot base, followed by the kitchen seasoning.

Oil, chicken essence, rice wine, bean paste and tempeh.

Finally, I want some black tea to make tea eggs.

After some purchases, the bag was bulging, and Zhou Li got into the car to Mingjiu Mountain.

It was 4 p.m. when the flood stopped.

Zhou Li saw the old Guan Lord and the old demon, and he stepped forward and said, "Guan Lord, are you boiling porridge again?"

"Yes, the little layman is here again!"

"Yes, I'm going to start school, and then I'll be in Caiyun, and I'm thinking about going to say hello to her. Zhou Li said and took off his backpack, "By the way, I also brought a few books over, which you lent to Xiao Zheng before, I borrowed four books, she said let me return it to you directly, and by the way, let me thank you on her behalf, she was a little embarrassed to repay it after borrowing it for so many years." ”

"What's this, I don't watch it anyway, if someone wants to see it, it's a good thing!"

The old man straightened up, stretched out his swarthy hand, took the four books, and said, "I'll take it and put it away first." ”

Zhou Li nodded.

The old viewer turned to leave, and Huai Xu curiously squatted down and lifted the lid of the casserole and took a look: "Ah, there are red beans and peanuts!"

The old demon sat on the top of the small temple and said: "He is old and has a bad stomach, and it is hot in summer, so he usually boils a pot of porridge at night, and the rest of the meal is just left for the morning to eat, so he is too lazy to cook it again." ”

"What about noon?" asked Huai Xu again.

"Eat some bread and drink some boiling water at noon. ”

"Can this ensure nutrition?" Zhou Li interjected.

"It's okay, he doesn't work much, and he doesn't have enough nutrition to doze off. The old demon said, "In the past, when the conditions were more difficult, it was nothing to skip food for a few days, and some viewers should be Bigu." ”

"Now the conditions ......" Zhou Li looked at the dilapidated appearance of the Taoist temple, "Still can't it?"

"Well, now the pilgrims are generous, but he can't use up all this money, so he can use it to read to children far away. ”

"That's right. ”

"He's not pitiful. The old demon smiled at Zhou Li, "He doesn't like to cook, he doesn't like to eat, he is very lazy, he is not particular, anyway, it is not a day, it is not that he can't afford to eat." ”

"Then what's wrong with you?" Zhou Li asked again.

"Which one?"

"What is the harvest in the field?"

"Oh, I can't help that. The old demon buckled his head, "I went to the creek and caught some fish and put them in the field, and when they threshed the grain, there were fish in the field, I should be quite happy, right?"

"That's a way to do that, too. ”

At this time, the old demon pointed behind him, Zhou Li turned around, and after two breaths, he saw the figure of the old watchman.

The old watchman held a glass of water, a bag of cakes, and said to him with a smile: "It's been cool these days, but it's still hot to climb the mountain, eat and drink and rest for a while, there is nothing to eat." ”

The old demon's voice sounded behind him: "That's it, it's this, it's delicious!"

Zhou Li thanked him and took the cake.

The cake looked like something he remembered selling in a rural commissary more than a decade ago, and he hadn't seen it again since he grew up — the packaging was a thin, completely transparent plastic coat with not a word on it. There is a blank piece of paper inside, with information such as the manufacturer, shelf life and product materials written in the table, and there is no name, no logo or anything like that.

The pie is not large and is stacked in a stack in the package.

There seem to be ten.

Zhou Li took one apart and took half of it, there was a sweet filling in it, and the taste was unexpectedly good.

The old viewer stuffed a pine cone into the stove again, and then joked with Zhou: "You young man, you didn't come to Qixi a few days ago, and today is the Midyear Festival, and you ran out to visit friends, hahaha......"

Zhou Li took advantage of his inattention and handed a cake to Huaixu.

Then watch him burn the fire.

They only plant pine trees in a few parks, and they don't usually have them, so no one uses pine cones to burn them, and Zhou Li thinks that this thing should be a corn cob under the mountain.

It seems to be good to burn.

Zhou Li saw it as a novelty.

After leaving the flood control view, Huai Xu was still laughing at him, saying that he was a person in the city, and he could watch people burning fires with relish.

Zhou Li didn't fight with him.

The sun is about to touch the mountains on the horizon, Zheng Zhilan's family usually eats early for dinner, he has to go quickly.
