23. Gifts

There is not so much rain in the summer in the Northeast, and it is usually a lot to have one in ten and a half days, but this year, there is a lot more rain in Beishan Township than in previous years.

Since the beginning of the ambush, it has been raining a little bit every day.

Such weather naturally also affected Zhang Dongming's harvest of mushrooms, and each harvest was less than 300 catties.

Zhang Dongming doesn't care about this, anyway, it's almost the same thing that should be collected, now just take it with Lala, and don't accept it when the door is due.

It's always been a rainy day, and Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan stay at home most of the time.

Tang Wan's words are okay, read books, listen to songs, watch TV or something, but at the end of the day, Zhang Dongming is a little boring, often looking around the house and not knowing what to do.

Once Tang Wan was really bored when she saw him, so she gave him a book of Yu Qiuyu to read, Zhang Dongming looked at it seriously at first, but he couldn't stand it for two days.

It's not anything else, it's mainly that Yu Qiuyu's books are relatively high, and he always has a bit of enlightenment, reading such books is not a good thing for Zhang Dongming, and it affects his young mentality that he finally adapted.

Of course, Tang Wan couldn't understand this, and said that Zhang Dongming could be a good Chinese teacher like this.

Zhang Dongming said that the quality of a Chinese teacher has nothing to do with whether he likes to read or not, Tang Wan asked what it has to do with it, Zhang Dongming said students. Tang Wan didn't understand, and Zhang Dongming didn't explain much.

After more than ten days of rain, we finally ushered in a sunny day.

It happened to be the day of the opening of the market, Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan had breakfast, and went out to the store at about half past eight.

In good weather, the people who came to sell mushrooms also rebounded significantly, and they collected more than 600 catties in the morning.

There were always people in the store, Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan didn't go back at noon, and the two of them ordered a pound and a half of dumplings to eat at the restaurant across the street.

In the morning, the sun became scorching, and the sweaty people seemed to miss the cool weather that had rained before.

At the end of the day, more than 1,300 catties of mushrooms were collected, plus more than 600 catties before, and the next morning, Zhang Dongming sent them to Liu Chuan Company.

Because the basic harvest is fresh mushrooms now, the profit has dropped a lot, the initial two thousand catties can earn more than 40,000, and now half of it is good, of course, the profit is not low.

When she came back in the afternoon, Tang Wan sat under the apricot tree and read a book, looked at the two long camouflage bags that Zhang Dongming was carrying, and asked, "What are you carrying?"

Zhang Dongming put the bag down: "Fishing rod." ”

Tang Wan reacted, and then understood.

Although she has never been there, she also knows that there are many wells, ponds, and puddles in Beishan Township, and there seem to be two small reservoirs, which is why the school repeatedly emphasizes that students are not allowed to take wild baths during the holidays.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was not so scorching, Zhang Dongming asked: "Go fishing, do you want to go?"

Tang Wan took off the headphones for listening to the song: "I haven't fished before." ”

Zhang Dongming smiled and said, "It's okay, it's simple, I'll teach you when the time comes." ”

Tang Wan is also quite curious about fishing, and she also wants to go out for a walk: "Go, where to fish?"

Zhang Dongming thought for a while: "Back mountain, there are many ponds." ”

Tang Wan nodded, in fact, it's the same everywhere, anyway, she hasn't been there, and she hasn't fished, so she just goes around and plays.

Zhang Dongming went to Li San's house in the East Courtyard to ask for some wheat bran, and when he came back, he mixed white flour and sesame oil together, which was regarded as bait.

"Can you fish with this?" Tang Wan was looking at Zhang Dongming's homemade bait, a little unconvinced.

"Okay. Zhang Dongming said with a smile.

He used this when he went fishing when he was a kid, and it worked much better than the bait he bought.

After locking the door of the house, Zhang Dongming carried a fishing rod and a water basket, and Tang Wan went out with a cool hat and a bottle of water.

Out of the village, there were forests and crops one after another, and Zhang Dongming and Tang Wan walked along the small river.

is also the reason for the girls in the city, plus she has never come out much, Tang Wan was very novel along the way, carrying sandals, wading in the clear river water, seeing small fish in the river, or grasshoppers on the grass and always trying to catch them, Zhang Dongming's clumsy movements made Zhang Dongming laugh non-stop.

Houshan is about three or four miles away from the village, and it was only half an hour away, but Tang Wan walked and played all the way, and the two of them arrived in more than an hour.

"It's so beautiful!"

Blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters.

Tang Wan stood on a big rock, looking at the clear pond in front of her, at the roaring waterfall behind, at the lush woods on the left, and at the green fields of crops on the right......

"It's beautiful. Zhang Dongming smiled.

Beishan Township is surrounded by mountains on three sides, green mountains and green waters everywhere, especially the scenery of the back mountain is really good, which is also the reason why the tourism industry in Beishan Township can rise in the future after the raspberry and agate industries.

By the pond, the two of them found a place with shade.

Tang Wan had never fished, so Zhang Dongming taught her how to put on fish food, how to put down the rod, how to throw the rod, and how to look at the water mark......

Tang Wan began to listen half-heartedly, but Zhang Dongming spoke very carefully and seriously, and she listened carefully later, only occasionally laughing on the side.

Zhang Dongming asked her what she was laughing at, Tang Wan said nothing, and then smiled even happier.

Fishing requires patience and calmness.

Zhang Dongming used to go fishing from time to time, his patience was enough, but he was calm, so he couldn't experience the fun in the past.

And now, he has been able to really enjoy it, really enjoy it.

For Zhang Dongming, this may be the meaning of rebirth.

As for Tang Wan, she is also enjoying it.

The difference is that Zhang Dongming's pleasure is fishing, and Tang Wan's pleasure is watching Zhang Dongming fishing.

In the end, Zhang Dongming caught four fish, and Tang Wan naturally didn't catch any of them, but the girl was still very happy.

Also, the good times are the time, and the rest, what does it matter.

"Burn bud rice?" Tang Wan helped Zhang Dongming collect the fishing rod.

"Ah, have you eaten it?" Mr. Zhang said.

Tang Wan handed over the fishing rod: "I've eaten braised bud rice." ”

Zhang Dongming picked up the water basket: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat roast today." ”

Tang Wan usually saw the children in the village eating with roasted bud rice, looking black, it didn't seem to be delicious at all, but looking at Zhang Dongming's appearance, she also wanted to taste it: "But, we don't have bud rice?"

Zhang Dongming couldn't help but be a little amused when he looked at Tang Wan with a serious face, and pointed to the bud rice field not far away: "Aren't those all." ”

Tang Wan also reacted: "This is not good. ”

Zhang Dongming said with a smile: "Just a few ears of bud rice." ”

"But ......"

"No, nothing. ”

"Well, what if you get discovered, don't do it. ”

"Oh, let's go......"

As the two of them spoke, they walked towards the bud rice field not far away.

Tang Wan had never done such a "bad thing", while looking around nervously and urging anxiously, Zhang Dongming looked really funny, and finally only split four ears of bud rice and was forcibly dragged away by this girl.

Not far from the woods.

Zhang Dongming saved a bunch of dry branches, picked out a few slightly thicker ones, and inserted the buds.

The green smoke rose, Zhang Dongming sat by the fire, holding two ears of bud rice in one hand and roasting, Tang Wan squatted on the side and watched it very curiously, and the previous tension was long gone.

"When you were a child, did you always do bad things?" Tang Wan said on the side.

"No, when I was a kid, I was always one of the top three students in my class. Zhang Dongming roasted the bud rice seriously.

"Come on. Tang Wan pouted: "When you were a child, you didn't do much like stealing bud rice." ”

"Not really. Zhang Dongming flipped over the bud rice in his hand: "When I was a child, I usually stole peanuts and watermelons when I went to the field, and there were really not many times when I stole bud rice." ”

Tang Wan couldn't help but smile: "What should I do if I am discovered?"

Zhang Dongming flipped the bud rice in his hand back and forth: "If you are found, you will run, but if you can't run, you will drill into the ground, how stupid it is to be caught." ”

"So, you haven't caught it once?"

"Of course. ”

"Cut. ”

"It's not enough, go over there and find a few branches, it's dry. ”

"Oh. ”

The bud rice is baked.

Tang Wan looked at the black bud rice and couldn't get out of her mouth, and looked at Zhang Dongming, he ate very fragrantly, and he also ate a mouthful of black.

"Is it delicious?" Tang Wan asked again.

"You'll know if you taste it. Zhang Dongming said with a smile.

Tang Wan struggled for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to bite down on the black bud......

In the end, four ears of bud rice, Zhang Dongming ate three ears, and Tang Wan ate one ear.

Zhang Dongming ate one hand and one mouth black, although Tang Wan ate an ear, but because of the first time he burned bud rice, the situation was not much better than Zhang Dongming.

Zhang Dongming's words are okay, but if anyone who knows Tang Wan sees the situation at this time, he will be shocked, and then he may say distressedly: Beauty, we have to take care of the image.

By the stream.

Tang Wan washed her hands and face, and Zhang Dongming sat on the stone next to her humming a little song.

The sunset is obliquely shining, and the green mountains and green waters are picturesque.

Beauty, always desirable.

The same is true of those who are born again, whether it is a beautiful view or a beautiful person.

"What song are you humming?" Tang Wan walked over, her face wet.

"I don't remember. Zhang Dongming said.

"Sing. Tang Wan sat down next to her.

Zhang Dongming looked at Tang Wan, the breeze blew, blowing the hair on the side of her face, she raised her hand and flicked it, quietly looking at the slanting sun on the horizon.

Zhang Dongming turned his head and looked at the slanting sun on the horizon like Tang Wan.

Then, the song began to sound -

……

What can I say ~ I don't know ~

Too many words ~ disappear in the chest ~

With the blue sky overhead~Silence is high~

With you by my side~makes me feel peaceful~

……

Xu Wei is a singer that Zhang Dongming once liked very much, and this "Gift" is his favorite song.

In Zhang Dongming's understanding, this song is not sung to a certain person, but to all the people who have been with him in his life, and all the people who have given him care and care.

Those touches and thanks, those warmth and happiness, have always been cherished by him, although he has never or rarely expressed them.

……

The endless road ~ the endless end of the world ~

In the burning years ~ is a long wait ~

Beware of the joy in your heart~ opens in an instant~

I want to be by your side ~ share with you ~ ……

Tang Wan heard Zhang Dongming sing for the first time, and she didn't sing so well, at most she wasn't out of tune, but when she listened to it, her eyes turned red for some reason.

In the song, she looked at the slanting sun on the horizon, so beautiful.

In the song, the slanting sun shines on her face, so beautiful.

……

In the silent night ~ once prayed for you ~

I wish I was ~the gift of life~

Beware of the joy in your heart~ opens in an instant~

I want to be by your side ~ share with you ~ ……

No matter how beautiful the melody is, there will always be a moment to stop, but this does not mean the end, and the next chapter may be a better beginning.

The song is like this, but what about life?

On the way back.

Tang Wan said: "I will be transferred back to the county high school at the beginning of the school year. ”

Zhang Dongming said: "It's good. ”

Tang Wan said again: "I'll leave in a few days." ”

Zhang Dongming said: "Oh. ”
