After staying at his grandfather's house for two days, Li Liang went to his grandmother's house to play for another day, his grandmother's house was small, and Li Liang went to a place where he didn't live, and every time he went over, he played there during the day and went back to his grandfather's house at night. When he returned to the city, Li Liang took his aunt Wang Xiuyan with him and returned. Li Hao and Li Yin also wanted to enter the city a few days late, so Li Liang brought them with them.

Grandma Qian Sanmei was reluctant to let Li Liang leave, so she packed him with a lot of delicious food, including dried bracken and bamboo shoots dried in spring, dried beans and dried plum cabbage in summer, and a whole snakeskin bag of dried peanuts.

The grandparents sent Li Liang and the four of them to the side of the county road to wait for the bus, and the bus returning to the city from Yutian Town would not turn to the polder of Zaozhu Township, and those who wanted to enter the city had to go to the county road to wait for the bus by themselves. Under the scorching sun, Li Liang was so sunburned that he finally waited for the car, which was already full of people.

Li Liang carried the basket, and the aunt Wang Xiuyan carried the snakeskin bag containing peanuts and followed Li Hao and Li Yin into the car. There were a few fellows in the back who also entered the city, and the car door closed with difficulty and sent it slowly. Li Liang hurriedly shouted through the car window: "Grandparents, go back quickly, I'll send my younger brothers and sisters back in a few days!"

Although the car was bumpy along the way, Wang Xiuyan, Li Hao, and Li Yin still had a very high temperament. Wang Xiuyan is happy that she can finally jump out of the farm gate to work in the city, while Li Hao and Li Yin are happy that they can finally go into the city to play, they have not been to the county seat for several months.

led everyone home, everyone was tired, Li Liang's hands carrying the basket were sore, and Wang Xiuyan was also sweating. The sunspot was tied under the orange tree in the yard, and it looked at the strange brothers and sisters Wang Xiuyan and Li Hao, and was yelling at them enthusiastically. Li Liang snorted, knocked on its head, and signaled that this was his own family, so Heizi wagged his tail aggrievedly and hid under the tree to continue sleeping.

At this time, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and his parents and sister had not yet returned, Li Liang beckoned everyone to sit down in the living room and turn on the electric fan to cool everyone down. I also used the leftover potassium nitrate at home to make some ice water and serve it to everyone to drink.

Wang Xiuyan, Li Hao, and Li Yin were all very curious, they watched Li Liang pour some white powder into the water, and then under the gaze of everyone, a burst of white mist gradually rose on the surface of the water, and then the surface of the water actually froze. Li Liang took a clean soup bowl, prepared the sugar water, and put it on the ice, and after a while, the sugar water in the soup bowl became cold.

"Brother Liangzi, are you conjuring spells?" Li Hao touched the ice with his hand and said in an incredible tone, "Just like the Monkey King in Journey to the West?"

Li Yin stood aside and nodded violently, she was also stunned by her cousin's actions.

"It's not a spell, it's the use of the principle of potassium nitrate absorbing heat when it meets water, and you'll understand it when you go to junior high school and learn chemistry!" Li Liang said.

Wang Xiuyan didn't speak, listened to Li Liang's words, and said with emotion: "It seems that my junior high school was read in vain, and I didn't understand this principle after graduating from junior high school." ”

Li Liang shook his head speechlessly, in fact, this principle is very simple, there is such a class in the junior high school chemistry laboratory class, but the vast majority of people do not connect the knowledge in chemistry books with daily life.

Several people were drinking ice water, blowing fans, and talking. There are not many rooms at home, Li Hao must live with Li Liang tonight, he asked Li Hao to put the change of clothes he brought in his room, Wang Xiuyan and Li Yin must live in one room with his sister Li Meng, and he also beckoned them to go to the house to put their clothes.

Li Liang came to the kitchen, opened the wooden window and looked at it, there were only two handfuls of water spinach and cabbage in the window, and the leaves were dying. The weather is hot, and it is easy to spoil when there are too many ingredients, so the family generally buys meat and vegetables to supplement nutrition in summer when parents or sisters are resting at home.

Let the three of them sit at home and rest, Li Liang came to the supply and marketing cooperative's store not far from home, at this time there was no meat on the meat stall, Li Liang had to buy a few smoked Sichuan-style sausages, and took two cans of canned yellow croaker and a few bottles of soda back home.

Li Liang began to cook rice, Wang Xiuyan took the initiative to come over to help wash and stir-fry, she was used to housework at home, and she was very good at cooking and stir-frying. Li Liang asked Li Hao and Li Yin, who were blowing fans in the living room, to help peel a bowl of peanuts.

By the time Li Liang's parents and sister got home from work, Wang Xiuyan had already fried a table of dishes, including steamed sausages, fried peanuts, fried water spinach, fried cabbage, and two cans of opened canned fish.

Seeing that Li Shuangzhu and Wang Xiujuan were back, Wang Xiuyan called out to her sister and brother-in-law, and Li Hao and Li Yin also called uncle, aunt, and sister.

Li Meng put away the bicycle, took Wang Xiuyan's hand and said, "Auntie, you haven't been in the city for so long, you miss me!" Wang Xiuyan and Li Meng were born in the same year, Wang Xiuyan is a few months older, and the two have had a good relationship since childhood, just like sisters.

Li Shuangzhu smiled happily, washed his hands and sat down at the dining table, Li Liang had already poured a glass of rice wine for Li Shuangzhu. No one else was drinking, and Li Liang poured soda for everyone. Wang Xiujuan beckoned everyone to eat vegetables, and asked Li Liang's grandparents how their health was, and they were concerned about their mother's health, Wang Xiuyan said them one by one.

During the banquet, Li Liang said that he was going to arrange for Wang Xiuyan to go to work in the restaurant, and Wang Xiujuan and his family were very supportive. Wang Xiuyan is as old as Li Meng, only 18 years old, Wang Xiujuan has treated her like a daughter since she was a child. It's too hard for a girl to farm in the countryside, she didn't have this condition before, but now her family has opened a restaurant in partnership with others, so it is natural to take care of Wang Xiuyan's past work.

Wang Xiuyan hurriedly thanked her sister and brother-in-law, but Li Meng said that there was no place to live in the store for the time being, and now Zhang Meng was living at his grandmother's house. Li Meng offered to lend her bicycle to Wang Xiuyan to use, so that she could get off work in the morning and evening, and then she could ride to and from work with Chen Chunhua every day. Wang Xiuyan refused again and again, but Li Meng gently persevered. Their hospital is in the county seat after all, and the county seat is not big, even if she walks to and from work, it will take more than ten minutes, and she can occasionally take advantage of Zhang Meng's second sister Zhang Jia's car, Zhang Jia is also a nurse in the People's Hospital, but in different departments.

The family had dinner happily, and Wang Xiuyan was going to wash the dishes, but Li Meng took the lead. Wang Xiujuan also held down Wang Xiuyan, who was busy working, her sister was a guest at home, how could she rush to work. After eating, Li Hao's mouth was fast, he told Li Shuangzhu and his family about Li Liang's righteousness and courage on the bus, Wang Xiujuan was shocked into a cold sweat, and hurriedly looked at Li Liang to see if he was hurt.

Li Liang didn't plan to tell his parents about this, so as not to worry them, but he forgot to tell Li Hao, Li Yin and the others not to say it. He smiled bitterly and handed his mother the money rewarded to him by the township government, part of which was used up to buy vegetables just now, and there were more than 40 yuan left.
