Chapter 55 Urban and Rural Amphibians

Another morning is coming, Qi Jingtao, who has been used to getting up early to run and exercise since he was a student, does not need an alarm clock to urge people to disturb their dreams, and wakes up on time at 6:00. Knowing that the two beautiful tenants in the next room must still be sleeping at this time, she very consciously packed up her sports clothes in her room, and quietly slipped out of the house and ran out of the Chunxi community.

In summer, the morning air is fresh and cool, and there are many people who get up early to exercise on the streets. The area of central Yunnan city is not large, and not long after Qi Jingtao moved here, he found the best route for morning exercise running. Run out of the main gate of the community, run more than 300 meters along the street to the west, you can turn to the road leading to the Dongfeng Reservoir at the foot of Longma Mountain in the north of the dam, and go north along the road for about 1,500 meters, where there is a river that winds from north to south around the city, which is the famous Lanxi in the northern suburbs of central Yunnan City.

In the early morning of summer on the bank of the Lanxi River, the stream water is like a long stream of jasper, the willows on the bank of the river are fluttering, and the towering Longma Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist like a dream. It is already a suburb and far away from most of the current residential areas of the city. In the early morning, there are few people who come to the river for a leisurely walk and fishing, and he can jump and run freely along the uneven path of the riverbank.

Qi Jingtao recently discovered that he is now running fast and his endurance is growing. Here, he can run and jump freely without being abrupt, and he can also enjoy the natural scenery along the river.

The journey is about 18 kilometers like treading the wind, going upriver to the dam of Dongfeng Reservoir and back. Run fast when no one is around, jog when there are people, and it is almost 7 o'clock when I get back to the vegetable market near the community. At this time, the early risers have already set up their stalls, and some citizens have come to the market to buy fresh dishes for daily needs.

After Qi Jingtao, Su Min and Xu Manli lived in Chunxi Community, they made breakfast and dinner at home, and solved it in their respective company's canteens at noon. When he came back from his morning run, he went in and bought the dishes and food he needed today, and walked home with him.

At this time, Su Min and Xu Manli also got up. With the arrival of Qi Jingtao, Su Min, who had finished dressing up, began to prepare for today's breakfast.

"Amin, I ate casserole tofu rice noodles this morning, and I brought everything. After Qi Jingtao sent the ingredients into the kitchen, he reported his recipe for today to the cook.

"Ah Tao, why do you like to eat rice noodles so much, isn't there fresh milk in the refrigerator?" Su Min looked at the running man who hadn't had time to wash up reproachfully.

"Hehehe, I like to eat those soups and water when I eat breakfast, and I feel full. The fresh milk in the fridge and the pastries you brought back are a nutritious breakfast for you ladies, and remember to fry poached eggs. Qi Jingtao explained with a smile.

Su Min smiled helplessly, looking at the sunny and energetic runner who had just come back from morning exercise, "You, you have to eat something nutritious early." Eating rice noodles every day, eating rice noodles in different ways, there is not much nutrition at all. Every morning, I have to go out to sweat and sweat, where does the spirit come from. ”

"Get used to it, you hurry up and cook, it's almost time. I'll go wash and I'll come first. After Qi Jingtao finished speaking, he hurried to take care of his personal hygiene.

Xu Manli also packed up and dressed up, came to the kitchen, and saw Su Min, who was cooking poached eggs on the gas stove while cooking rice noodles in a casserole, and hurriedly stepped forward to take over the task of omelette.

Xu Manli glanced at the stinky tofu churning in the boiling water, shook her head and smiled, "Hehehe, Sister Min, Brother Tao still eats rice noodles early?"

"The nature of the country is easy to change, and it is addicted to eating rice noodles. It's only been a few days since I really lived in, and I've done almost all the varieties of rice noodles that I can make every day. Su Min complained and continued to carefully add various condiments to the small sand nest.

"Hehe, will you cook noodles for him tomorrow and see if he eats them?" Xu Manli said, quickly picking up the fried eggs in the pot and putting them on the plate, and continued to beat the eggs and omelettes, the skillful action was amazing!

"Hehe, tomorrow? After work today, he will definitely go back to his hometown to help water the cigarette at home, and he won't come back until Sunday night. Su Min smiled and said Qi Jingtao's whereabouts.

"Hehe, Sister Min, is Brother Tao a worker or a farmer? ”

"The devil knows, he himself says, that he is an urban and rural amphibian. ”

"What, what? urban and rural amphibians, what do you mean?" Xu Manli looked at Su Min puzzled.

"Hehe, that time I went to Black Dragon Pond Park with him, and when we chatted, I talked about his current life mode. He said that he was the first generation of college students from the countryside, half of his body crawling on the edge of the city, and half of his body buried in the countryside. ”

"Hehe, Brother Tao is really interesting. finally went out with the girl to play in the mountains and rivers, not reflecting his lofty and brilliant place, but revealing his scars. He can also describe his own state of existence like this, as if he were a philosopher. Sister Min, do you want to think of a way to drag out half of his body buried in the countryside, won't he completely become a city person?" Xu Manli moved the pot of the omelette with a smile, and whispered her own suggestion in her mouth.

Su Min frowned slightly, glanced at her best friend, and shook her head, "Can you drag it?"

"Why can't you drag it, you can't drag it, it's not strong enough. Hmph, also amphibians. Tadpoles don't want to abandon their tails and become frogs, frogs can become princes!" Xu Manli said proudly, and a beautiful pan picked up the poached eggs that had been fried until they were medium-rare.

Su Min was happy, "Hehe, Xiaoli, your logic doesn't hold." The frog that became the prince turned out to be the prince. ”

"Before the princess kissed it, let it lift the curse and restore its true form, and turn back into the prince, all you saw was a frog. They all think that he is a frog, then he is a frog and must be a frog. Hmph, don't say he's a toad, even if he gives him face. Xu Manli hatefully copied the poached egg onto another plate.

The casserole tofu rice noodles cooked by Su Min were also cooked, and when the gas was turned off, Su Min smiled, "How much is the difference between a frog and a toad, both are tadpoles, and tadpoles look the same." ”

After washing, Qi Jingtao, who put on work clothes and dressed as a white-collar worker in the company, came to the restaurant, and heard the two frogs and toads talking, and was happy, "Hahaha, how do you two study frogs and toads?

Xu Manli came out with two plates of poached eggs, and asked with a smile: "Hehehe, Brother Tao, tell me, the frog and toad are also amphibians, and the frog and the toad are more amazing?"

"It must be a toad. Qi Jingtao replied without thinking. Seeing that his casserole wo rice noodles were cooked, he quickly picked up two rags to wet them, and went to help Su Min serve the casserole rice noodles. Su Min consciously let go of the back, took a large plate and put it on the dining table, and Qi Jingtao put it on the plate with a hot casserole of rice noodles.

Seeing the two of them fiddling with the rice noodles in the casserole tacitly, Xu Manli smiled and continued her question: "What do you say?"

"Hehe, it goes without saying that frogs can only sit in wells and watch the sky, and other toads have lofty ideals, and they still want to eat swan meat! At least, toads are more ambitious than frogs, right?"

"Then you want to be a toad?" Xu Manli looked at the well-dressed white-collar man playfully.

"Don't. If I had to choose, I'd better be a frog. The toad just wanted to eat the swan meat, but he didn't, and the frog really had a princess kiss him. ”
