Chapter 9 They are all right in heaven
Small pieces of tofu are neatly stacked on a clean stone. It is airy, shady and should allow for slow fermentation.
I haven't done it before, so try it now. It's more fun to do this than batch homework.
Da Zao came in with a big clay pot, and was thinking about where to put it.
"What are you doing?" Both asked at the same time.
"I'm making soy tofu." Han Zhou replied first.
"I'm getting you the stuff to wash—, wash your hair, so you don't have to bend down." He wanted to say that he was going to take a bath, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words again. He had heard her say that in her hometown of Beijing, she could wash standing up. A large jar hangs above the head, and water flows down from it, and people can stand under it and wash it.
"Do you mean to use this?" Hanzhou is very interested in this.
"Well, I went to be a big water house for a clay pot, and I wanted him to make a jar with a mouth underneath, but I didn't expect that there happened to be a broken one in his yard, you see, the mouth is here, it was his son who ran around and broke it, and he was going to throw it away, so I didn't mention what I wanted to do, so I bought his broken one back. Exactly what I wanted, oh, you see if this mouth is a little too high. Jujube was a little excited, and said while gesturing.
"It's okay, it's okay, it should work." Han Zhou replied repeatedly, and she was still moved in her heart. But how do you use it?
"We put it on the courtyard wall and let the water run down from it, and we can wash it however you want."
"Well, how does the water go up?" She knew that Brother Dazao wouldn't let her use the rainwater, so did she have to pour it in one basin after another and start washing?
"So, I figured it out. I found a bamboo pipe and stuffed it into this opening, and made a plug out of wood at the end of the water. Usually I put some water in the morning, and I will be able to wash it in the sun all day during the day, and I should be able to wash it in the evening. All you have to do is step higher and pull out the cork. ”
Jujube said very seriously and excitedly, which shows that this idea has been thinking about it for a long time and is also very mature
Han Zhou gradually smiled, this is really a good idea. Jujube is also very smart.
"Also, when you wash, I'm watching people from a short distance, and I won't let people in." Saying that, he lowered his head first, so that Han Zhou couldn't help but want to touch his head, this young man is so cute.
Ay! He's such a nice guy and he really wants to give her the best!
Dinner was early. The two men came to the river.
The river is not too far from home, and jujube comes here every day to fetch water. Han Zhou thought to himself, he actually came here to wash his feet. Thinking of this, she was disgusted by herself, glanced at the jujube obliquely, and pouted.
Jujube doesn't know what she thinks, she often has various expressions on her face, very vivid, very cute, when she can't guess, Jujube smiles, anyway, it's always right to laugh.
The water in the river is actually very clear, and the stones in it are washed clean. According to Jujube, some places are very deep, and they are also quite capable of killing people. Children must be watched when they go down the river, but every year they die in the river are people who know how to water.
Speaking of this, Da Zao's voice was a little low, and Han Zhou knew that he remembered chestnuts.
"There are still a lot of fish here, and it takes some effort. There are some fish that you may not have seen before. Your hometown of Beijing doesn't have everything, right? "That's another topic. It's still fun to talk about eating.
"Hmm." Hanzhou did not deny it. Especially where can you find such clear water in Beijing? It turns out that the places where there is water have become riverbeds, and it is said that some crews will find these places when filming scenes in the desert Gobi. The rest is the artificially straightened river, which has also become a good place for sewage when it rains. I really don't understand that there are people swimming in such a dirty river, and if they are caught by the park management office, they have to be fined and admonished, and it is not easy for modern people to live!
"Don't go down for a while, just rest on the shore, and I'll go down to catch fish." Jujube instructed.
"Don't go down either. You tell me where the narrowest part is, and I'll see if I can catch the fish. Hanzhou remembered the documentary of survival in the wild, and his heart was full of fun.
"Narrow place? It's narrow here. "Jujube didn't understand what she was going to do.
"Is that narrow?" The river in the North American Indian camp on TV is much narrower than this one.
She walked back and forth along the river twice, craned her neck to observe the terrain. She spotted a place, but she didn't know if she could do it. There are rocks in the middle of the river, and the bottom of the river is silted and sandy.
"I'm going down. We're going to get some branches first. Han Zhou said seriously. She has always been very serious when she plays, as she has been since she was a child. If she is not in good health, she can only make her life beautiful and make herself beautiful. Therefore, she seriously learned to paint, sing, calligraphy, and tourist destinations.
"You can just say what you want to do, let me go down, the river is too cold." Jujube is still very persistent.
"How cool is it in summer, and it's not cool or happy! Walk, look for branches. Hanzhou was also very persistent, and the jujube had to follow to find the branches. This girl has a lot of ideas, and she really can't help it.
The branches were almost found, and they returned to where they had been. Han Zhou first tested the temperature of the water, then pulled his bloomers high, tentatively stretched out his foot, stepped on it, and then took another foot. Ah, it's so comfortable, the fine sand is squeezing out of the toes, itchy, and the water is brushing through the skin, and it doesn't flow quickly, which is very reassuring.
She's really white. Da Zao couldn't help but shake his heart when he looked at the legs in the river. Her robe was folded up and rolled up on her upper body, but it was still stained with some water. She carefully sorted out the rocks in the river, and the jujube didn't care about the thoughts, so she hurried to help, these stones were still quite heavy.
It's almost the same, and the jujube also understands the meaning of Hanzhou. She said that she wanted to "block the fish", but in fact she wanted to build an artificial fence. The branches are densely planted in the river, and the bottom of the river has been emptied, which is equivalent to opening the passage for the fish, and the fish that come over will swim stupidly, and then they will be trapped, waiting to be surrounded and captured alive. If they were humans, of course, they would turn around, but they don't have the ability to do so.
"Alright, let's go up and wait for the fish." Han Zhou said excitedly.
Da Zao stepped ashore with one foot, and turned around to pull Xiaohan's sister. Xiao Han smiled and shook her head, indicating that she could do it. But as soon as she shook her head, the stone she stepped on must have rolled a little, and she saw that the person fell diagonally, and the jujube pounced directly, and she didn't care about the situation under his feet, so that both of them fell into the river, and then got up drenched, looked at each other, laughed first, and rolled their eyes at each other. Thankfully, nothing happened.
But my body was wet, and there was nothing to dry, so I had to go home. And Xiao Han also rubbed a piece of skin on his leg, and the injury on his ribs still hurt, but it didn't worsen, fortunately he didn't twist his waist, which is really lucky.
At night, there is still the residual temperature of the day, but it is not so cold, Han Zhou thought optimistically, it is better to soak for a while, it is equivalent to taking a bath.
Stars gradually appeared in the sky. They hung so brightly in the sky, looking at the lonely people in the north and south.
Dazao didn't speak, probably because Xiaohan's sister was disobedient today, and she was still hurt. He is like this, just like Lao Chen, and sometimes he is angry because of her willfulness, which makes Han Zhou feel very warm. No matter what the future holds, she will treat him as a relative.
"Brother Zao, I'm worried about you." She apologized softly.
"Hmm." Da Zao replied indiscriminately, which can be regarded as taking care of her.
"Did you remember chestnuts just now?"
The jujube didn't squeak, so that's it. Or he wouldn't be so nervous.
"Look at the stars in the sky, so many, so bright, why do they keep shining so brightly?"
The jujube glanced at her, but still didn't squeak.
"Because that's our deceased relatives, they come out at night to see if we're doing, and if we're doing well, they're comforting. Two of them are bright for us, and they can see us. ”
Jujube looked up at the sky, there were more and more stars, it was really bright.
"They're just living in a different place. Just like me, I can't find a home now, but I'm alive now, and it's getting better day by day. We'll have fish to eat tomorrow and our shop will be open soon. The bathing stuff you made me will be ready for use soon. Do you think it's getting better? So it's the same with chestnuts. Maybe she also met someone who accompanied her to take care of her, and she was getting better and better. ”
The voice was soft, like a hand soothing the heart. Jujube naturally went to pull Hanzhou's hand, and at this moment, they were relatives.
O good son of heaven, are you looking at me like this? I want you to get over it for the better, you see, don't I get better too?
"Your hands are so small!" Da Zao's voice interrupted Han Zhou's mood, she was startled, and quickly pulled her hand out. She looked at the jujube in a daze, and although she couldn't see it clearly, she still looked at him incredulously.
She had heard this sentence, and that day she wrote a poem on the desk, which was a small love poem with only six or seven sentences, using the technique of supporting things and sending affection, remembering the dialogue between the wind and the reeds.
When Liangzi saw it, he should have been watching it for an unknown amount of time, and suddenly this sentence came out: "Your hands are so small." ”
At that time, her hand was on the desk, it was her left hand, and she remembered that her heart moved, and she did not speak, and neither of them spoke in the morning class. Ryoko is also uncomfortable.
Could it be that Ryoko has already arrived? Is this a joint code between them? Han Zhou was dizzy from this conjecture, and his brain was a little blank for a while.
Da Zao was also confused by her strange appearance, did not speak, and looked at her with a frown.
"Ryoko?" She let out a tentative cry.
Da Zao continued to stare at her, not understanding what was wrong with the good people.
"Ryoko?" She screamed again.
"Who is Ryoko? What are you talking about? Dazao was even more confused by these strange two sounds, thinking that this girl had picked up her from the street, her head was wrong, and she couldn't even find her way home, probably because she was confused again. It must have just fallen in the river and broken.
"You remember—oh, forget it." Han Zhou shook his head in disappointment. Seeing the nervous appearance of the jujube, Han Zhou came back to his senses and patted the jujube, meaning that he was fine, don't worry.
Dazao's heart was slightly put into his stomach and asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"A relative of mine, he died before my accident. I didn't see him, and according to others, he wanted to see me. ”
"Oh." I really don't know what to say at this time. It's still that close.
"Just now when I looked at the stars with you, I thought of him, and he and Chestnut watched the two of us in the sky."
Dazao looked at the sky, there were more stars, I don't know which one is my chestnut, and I don't know which one is her good son. That good son should be the one who can enter her heart, otherwise how could she be called like this and be in such a mood? Dazao's heart became a little heavy, and there was someone in the girl's heart.
Han Zhou also stopped talking. She now feels that Yiren should call her to scold her that day. Although she has never promised Ryoko, she must have had an ambiguity to be a "buddy", and they did not hold hands, but if it is really as Yiren said, Ryoko wants to see her until she dies, then this should be more serious than holding hands. She lives in Ryoko's heart, seriously interfering with him and Yiren's family life, and Yiren has the right to vent to her.
Liangzi, this dead thing, how many years has it been, why are you thinking about her? What a good girl is Yiren, how can she be so persistent?
Hanzhou felt her fault, back then, if she had been more resolute and didn't want to do "buddies", maybe she wouldn't be as sad as she is today, and maybe she would be able to let Liangzi go down-to-earth. If she had more courage, accepted Ryoko's love earlier, and faced those unknown worries together, maybe there would be nothing that she couldn't get by.
She accepts Lao Chen, isn't she doing well?
Lao Chen may also be a little unbalanced in his heart, and Lao Chen rarely takes her to friends. She has never danced with Lao Chen, except for being smart and handsome outside, there is nothing to give Lao Chen a long face.
But who can not compromise and make concessions to life? They all gave in, and the days went smoothly.
Han Zhou thought to himself, grievances are not something you can escape if you want to, when you want to escape a grievance, the next grievance is waiting for you in another place. If you don't want to wronged yourself, you have to wronged others. In short, if you come, just bear it. Love, marriage, and even career, in general.
