By the time Zhang Junjie took Li Liang to find Chen Ze's group of teenagers, they had already stripped off their pants and were playing in the pond, with their clothes and buckets of shrimp in the morning piled up on the shore.

It is a large pond, about half of the area is covered with lotus leaves, and lotus flowers of different sizes and colors poke their heads out among the lotus leaves, as if they are peeking at the children's play.

Li Liang has not swam for a long time, in his previous life he was a good swimmer when he was a teenager, and he often swam in the wild. After joining the work, I became more and more busy, and I could only occasionally find time to swim in the pool twice. He took off his clothes and jumped into the pond, where the water was clear.

The scorching sun in summer is still exuding poisonous heat, jumping into the water, the heat disappears, and the whole body is comfortable. Wang Chao saw Li Liang go into the water, the thief approached, took advantage of Li Liang's unpreparedness, splashed a palm of water, and then swam backwards, leaving a series of smug laughter of successful sneak attacks.

Zhang Junjie also went into the water, his swimming skills were not too proficient, and he was cautiously splashing in the shallow water by the pond at this time.

Chen Ze, Chen Tao and others saw Li Liang joining, except for Zhang Junjie, who was playing in the shallow water, there were exactly six people. The group proposes to split into two teams to fight in the water, and everyone chases each other, trying to smash the water into the faces of the others. Li Liang swam to the middle of the pond, stepped on the water with both feet, paddled the water with one hand, and splashed the water in the face of the other hand with the other free palm. He was a good swimmer, and when he was surrounded, he dived into the water and sneaked away into the distance. For a moment, the entire pond was splashed with dense splashes, and the water reverberated with endless noise, screams and laughter.

Zhang Junjie was very envious of everyone playing in the deep water area in the middle of the pond, and begged Li Liang to teach him to swim. Zhang Junjie has learned some superficial ventilation skills, but he has not mastered the skills of treading water in the water, so he does not dare to play in deep water. According to his own experience, Li Liang took Zhang Junjie to the deep water area, dragged Zhang Junjie's waist behind him, made him relax, stretched his hands forward in the water close to the surface of the water, and kicked the water with his legs gently and vertically with breaststroke leg movements. After Zhang Junjie slowly mastered the rhythm, he gently let go, let go of Zhang Junjie's waist, and let him slowly practice and feel the skills by himself.

Li Liangjiao here is serious, and over there Wang Chao and Chen Ze began to play stacked arhats, and the two people below were responsible for controlling the pace of advance and retreat, and the two people riding on their shoulders pushed each other with their hands to see who was pushed down first. In the laughter of everyone, time passed quickly.

After having enough fun in the water, Li Liang suggested that everyone go to the other side of the pond to pick lotus pods, which is a fun and easy thing to get hurt. The main reason is that there are many dense small thorns on the lotus stem, and in the process of picking the lotus pod in the water, it is easy to pull out a blood mark on the body if you are not careful.

When everyone picked a bunch of lotus pods and went ashore, they found that everyone had a few blood marks on their bodies more or less, but everyone didn't care. This blood mark wound is very small, it will scab over quickly, and it will be fine in a few days.

Li Liang carried a bucket of lotus pods back to Chenchen's grandmother's house. Zhang Junjie hadn't played enough and didn't want to go back, he proposed to go crayfish fishing, and the Chen Ze brothers also had this intention, and everyone hit it off.

"Taotao, is crayfish easy to catch?" Zhang Junjie had never fished, like a curious baby asking this and that.

We also fished for the first time this morning under the guidance of Brother Liang, and those crayfish were stupid, and they would bite as soon as they put down the snail meat. Chen Tao said.

The Chen Ze brothers have already discussed with their three friends that they will catch fish and shrimp together every day in the future, and the money from the sale will be divided equally.

In the courtyard of the Chen family, everyone who had returned from work sat under the tree to eat the lotus pods that Li Liangcai had returned. Xin Qiji's "Qingpingle Village Residence" has clouds: the thatched eaves are low, and the grass is green on the stream. Wu Yin is good in drunk, and the white-haired man is a woman. The eldest child hoes the beans in the east of Xidong, and the middle child is weaving chicken coops. The favorite child scoundrel, the head of the stream lies on the lotus bed.

In the afternoon, the old man Chen Danian had signed an agreement with the village committee to buy land and paid a deposit of 400 yuan, and since then the land bought by Zhang and Li has been temporarily settled in Chen Danian's name. The old man put away the agreement and sat on the stool to drink tea, he learned from his daughter Chen Chunhua that a series of plans were spit out of Li Liang's mouth, and he was very interested in Li Liang, a child, he had never seen such an idea-minded teenager in his life.

He happily watched Li Liang pluck the lotus seeds and hand them to Chenchen to eat, the children are still young, just maintain such a level of communication.

The two brothers, Chen Huahan and Chen Huatang, were not idle after finishing work, and the elder sister was going to build a storefront, which needed a lot of beams, so they went into the mountains to find suitable wood, and Chen Huahan's eldest son Chen Bin also followed with an axe.

"Liangzi, it takes a lot of money to build a house, did your parents discuss it with Chunhua last night?" asked Chen Danian while drinking tea.

Li Liang told Chen Danian about the matters discussed by the two families last night. Chen Danian was relieved to hear that each family only needed to pay 60 yuan in advance for rent per year, and he was worried that the Zhang and Li families might make the villagers come up with more money to book a shop, if that case, not many villagers might be able to come up with so much money.

"That's good! No more money, no less, ordinary people can make up this money, and then borrow some principal from relatives, basically they can pull out a mess!" Chen Danian said.

The second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, that is, Chen Ze Chen Tao's mother Zhang Lan is preparing tools for making tofu, soy milk and tofu skin, there are these tools at home, but they are rarely used, and they will only be used to make tofu during the Chinese New Year. In addition, it is necessary to order a hand-pushed mill and put it in the store in the future.

Zhang Lan's mother's family is making tofu and tofu skin, she has learned to make it since she was a child, and she is very skilled in this set of processes; but if you want to make breakfast, you also have to learn to make steamed buns and fried fritters, which she is not very good at, and she is ready to study hard with her mother-in-law Gu Yuemei for a while.

"Liangzi, you said that Auntie and I will open a breakfast shop, will there be a business?" Zhang Lan asked a little worriedly while cleaning up the guys' business.

"Auntie, don't worry, the drivers who eat at the restaurant say that they often drive over in the middle of the night to queue up, and when they arrive here early in the morning to have breakfast, they either wait hungry until noon to come to our store to eat, or bring some dry food to eat in the car. Don't worry, you can guarantee that the business is better than you think!" Li Liang comforted her.

People who can have the courage to come out and be self-employed in this era are also trembling when they first start. He remembered that after marrying Chenchen in his previous life, Chen Huatang and Zhang Lan also opened a shop in the cement factory. However, in the previous life, when they opened the shop, they rented the shops developed by the villagers who were the first to open the shop and get rich.
