It has been more than a month since the start of school, and Zhao Hongyi and many of his classmates have never left the campus. He gradually became familiar with the rhythm of campus life in the middle school, where he learned to do his own laundry, study, read books, and exercise appropriately every day, and the whole life was well organized. He fell in love with this kind of life of "no nails in the bay, no year in the cold". This kind of day is quite valuable for fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenagers who love to learn and be realistic and motivated, so that they can stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the cross-infection of all kinds of bad habits. Many years later, Zhao Hongyi can no longer find the state of mind that he could study quietly and devote himself to research, and he misses that era that has long gone.

Finally ushered in a rare Sunday, and many students in the class discussed going to Liangzhou City to have a walk. After breakfast, Zhao Hongyi, Wang Zhen and Meng Fei made an appointment to go into the city to meet the world.

It is not far from the school to the city, but it is not close to it, and you need to walk the whole way. First, you have to go through the stone road of Jiuliwan to reach the Xijin ferry, then take a ferry to cross the river, and then cross the Xiguan street for several miles, and finally reach the central city.

On weekends, Jiuliwan comes alive. From the school gate to the Xijin ferry, there is an endless stream of people, most of whom are students of Liangzhou Second Division, most of them are walkers, and some teachers and students ride bicycles to transition into the city. When Zhao Hongyi and the three of them came to Xijin Ferry, there were already many students waiting here for the transition. Because there was only one motorized ferry boat coming and going that day, you need to wait patiently no matter what you are passing by, and you can't be overcrowded every time, you need to queue up.

Although the second division of Liangzhou and the city are only separated by a river, and you can see Liangzhou Xiguan by the river, it is really inconvenient, and it takes at least half an hour to transition back and forth. Zhao Hongyi thought to himself, people often say: It is better to be separated by a thousand mountains than by a river, and this is what it means. Of course, you can also walk directly along the loess road where the new students arrived at the school to the north of Liangzhou City Bridgehead and cross the bridge. It's just that this road has to pass through the deserted Huangsha ditch, the public security situation is very bad, and the road is difficult to walk, a foot of mud on a rainy day, and a gray body on a sunny day. Unless the ferry is suspended, few people generally choose to walk into town from there.

Zhao Hongyi and the others finally lined up to get on the ferry, the boat fare was two dimes, and the three of them paid their own bills under the AA system. Some of the students who had never been on a boat before were amazed by the transition, look here, look there, and the boat boss yelled, "Sit down for me, if you don't want to pass, go down!" Wang Zhen couldn't help but stick out his tongue and grimace. After everyone was seated, the boat lifted the anchor, held the penny, turned around, and headed for the other side of the river. Only the roar of diesel engines could be heard in the cabin, and the whispers could not be heard at all. Ten minutes of boat ride, so that everyone has leisure time to enjoy this beautiful river. This river is called the Chu River, is the longest tributary of the Yangtze River, the river water is famous for its clarity, in Liangzhou city more than ten miles upward, built a dam, built a hydroelectric power plant. As a result, the river is regulated by the dam, sometimes full of river water, and sometimes the water flow suddenly decreases, and only the sand and gravel of the river can be seen.

After getting off the boat, Zhao Hongyi and the three of them were like wild horses on the loose, almost trotting all the way through Xiguan Ancient Street, and they were in a hurry to go to the movies.

Zhao Hongyi proposed to go to the Liangzhou Theater to see, he went there once when he took the secondary school examination, the cinema is large, high-grade, and the environment is quite good.

Luckily, when I arrived at the theater, there were still 5 minutes before the movie started, and the three of them bought movie tickets and hurried into the theater. The movie is "Once Upon a Time", an hour and a half kung fu movie, with a gripping storyline and exciting fight scenes. Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age of activity, this kind of film is very appetizing to the three male classmates, Zhao Hongyi quickly remembered Bao Zhilin, remembered the tooth rubbing, remembered Huang Feihong's shadowless feet, and many years later, looking back, he felt that this movie was very exciting.

The movie ends, and the trio begins to wander aimlessly through the streets. The three of them chatted all the way, and before they knew it, they walked to the stadium on Jiefang Road, and the sports field on the weekend was naturally lively, and the two teams were playing nervously on the football field. To be honest, Zhao Hongyi and the three of them are not interested in football games, or more precisely, they really can't understand it. The basketball court next to it is also crowded, it turns out that several teams from Liangzhou Normal School (First Division) and Liangzhou Agricultural School and Liangzhou Health School are playing here, and now the game on the court is Liangzhou Normal against Liangzhou Health School. Wang Zhenzhi, who loves basketball, feels that his palms are itchy and wants to play.

"This ball should be passed, what kind of lonely old ball are you playing! Hey, what do you pass this ball, go straight to the basket, you can't miss the opportunity. I have convinced you all, you all want to be heroes, play prestige, don't know how to cooperate, five people are united like five people! At this time, Wang Zhen enthusiastically acted as a scene commentary for the other two. Zhao Hongyi said with a smile: "Wang Zhen, I see that you are the emperor and the eunuch is not in a hurry!" Salted radish worry lightly! ”

The stadium is in the city, and the excitement belongs to the people in the city. The three of them continued to wander around and came to Swan Lake Square, saying that it was Swan Lake, and that there were neither swans nor water. I saw a marble statue of a woman, Zhao Hongyi and Wang Zhen didn't know what it meant.

"There's a lot of stuff here. I heard from the senior villagers that there are three iconic objects in Liangzhou City, one is the statue of a woman on the Swan Lake Square, and the other two are on the gate of Liangzhou Bridge, which are four iron oxen and a flying eagle, symbolizing the overall impression of outsiders on Liangzhou, that is, the cow, the Diao (carving), and the splash (woman). ”

Meng Fei's words made the other two laugh so much that they couldn't stand up straight, and they couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! I don't know if that guy is dissatisfied with Liangzhou, and he actually has such a miscellaneous sauce for us Liangzhou people. ”

Swan Lake Square is the center of Liangzhou, and Yinzhou Road, where it is located, is the most prosperous area of Liangzhou City. Throughout Yinzhou Road, there is a lot of traffic and endless streams. For the three middle school teachers and students who have long been accustomed to the quiet life of Jiuliwan, it seems that they have traveled to another world. There are so many good things, only what you can't think of, and nothing you can't buy.

Wang Zhen bought a flute, and Meng Fei fell in love with a pair of sneakers. Zhao Hongyi faced a dazzling array of goods, and couldn't help but have the heart to buy this and that, but when his hand touched a few shy gross tickets in his pants pocket, he finally held back, he remembered the hardships of his thin father digging in the soil, and he must learn to restrain his illusion of a superior material life. The few yuan in his pocket is still saved from between his teeth in the last month, and good steel must be used on the blade, and his idea is to buy a novel that he has long liked - Lu Yao's "Life".

After crossing Yinzhou North Road, the three came to the Xinhua Bookstore located at the entrance of West Street. Bookstores on weekends are also crowded with people. The three of them enter the bookstore and go their separate ways, looking for their favorites. Wang Zhen bought a copy of "Pang Zhonghua Fountain Pen Calligraphy", and Meng Fei, who loves calligraphy, bought a copy of Yan Zhenqing's multi-treasure pagoda inscription. Zhao Hongyi searched and searched, and finally saw the novel "Life", and there was only one left, and he was lying lazily in a large group of novels at this time, waiting to be sold. Zhao Hongyi looked at the unit price, it was not cheap, 3.8 yuan, this is his living expenses for nearly four days! To buy or not to buy, it's all a question. Take out all the gross tickets in your pocket, only 3 yuan, and there is still a difference of 8 dimes.

"I'll pay 8 dimes, and when you finish reading it, let me read it again, the book is still yours, and the money doesn't have to be returned!" Wang Zhen saw Zhao Hongyi's embarrassment and said briskly.

"Then what's the matter, I'll borrow you, and I'll pay you back next time." Zhao Hongyi didn't want to take advantage of this.

"Okay, it's easy to say anything." Wang Zhen can't beat Zhao Hongyi.

It was almost half-past four when they walked out of the bookstore, and their stomachs began to growl. Zhao Hongyi now has no penny in his pocket, and he thinks that he can only insist on eating until he goes back to the school cafeteria. Meng Fei saw through Zhao Hongyi's thoughts, and proposed that he treat everyone to a plate of Liangzhou steamed noodles. Meng Fei's family conditions are good, his father is the director of the post and telecommunications department, his brother is a teacher, and his pocket money is relatively spacious. Zhao Hongyi and Wang Zhen are really gracious, so let's go eat.

Liangzhou steamed noodles are a must in Liangzhou and are the representatives of Liangzhou's food culture. As the most authentic Liangzhou person, the most enjoyable thing to enjoy every morning is to have a plate of authentic Liangzhou steamed noodles. The steamed noodles are made of wheat flour as the main ingredient, add a little salt to water and form a batter, put the batter into an iron or aluminum steamed noodle gong with edible oil on the surface, and steam it in a large iron pot water, and after a few minutes, a round, green and soft steamed noodles are ready. Serve with bean sprouts or cucumbers, drizzled with garlic, sesame paste, spicy seeds and a secret vinegar soup. The quality of the noodles depends on the gluten, color and softness of the noodles, and the condiments, especially the vinegar and oil spicy seeds. As the saying goes, killing pigs and killing buttocks, each has its own way of killing, the steamed noodles in Liangzhou City, the famous ones such as Liu's steamed noodles, Tan's steamed noodles, Lan's steamed noodles, etc., all have their own secret recipes.

Now the three of them are walking on West Street, and not far in front of them is the Lan family's steamed noodles. The store is basically open for about 12 hours a day, and many of them are repeat customers. The three of them found a place to sit down, and Meng Fei ordered three plates of steamed noodles, plus a large pot of Qili thick wine. The Lan family's steamed noodles really live up to their reputation, of course, they are hungry, and the three of them taste exceptionally fragrant. Drinking a big sip of Qili thick wine is simply refreshing and refreshing.

Zhao Hongyi drank Qili thick wine for the first time, and he had drunk wax wine before, and he had drunk banquet wine - a kind of sweet and sour wine, and the thick wine brewed by the local method tasted extremely sweet. Drinking thick wine with steamed noodles is also the standard configuration of the small people in Liangzhou City, and many students of Liangzhou Second Division will come to the small shop outside in groups on weekends, and Zhao Hongyi is the first time today, so he can't help but persuade him to drink two more bowls, and the result is a quick reaction. Thick wine is good, but don't be greedy. If you drink too much wine, you will get up, and it will happen slowly, and the three of them will soon have their faces on their faces, and they will be red, and Zhao Hongyi will even float a little when he walks out of the store, secretly regretting that he shouldn't drink.

With a sense of alcohol, the three classmates walked to school. It is estimated that the ferry is about to stop at this time, so the three of them decided to go over from the Liangzhou Bridge and go back on the Huangshagou dirt road. To this day, the high-rise buildings have been row upon row, but at that time it was a barren land, far away without a single home, it is said that there are some bad people who often rob here to earn some money to buy roads. Many students generally don't go from here, but today Zhao Hongyi and the three of them are a little late, and secondly, they have a little bit of alcohol, so they don't take this danger into account.

There are two ways to walk back to school without transitioning to the boat, one is along the highway taken by the new students when they register, which is a little far, and the other is to go down from the north bridgehead of Liangzhou, to the side of the Chu River, and go upstream along the Chu River, until you reach the Jiuliwan Cement Plant, and then go to the direction of Jiuliwan. The three of them decided to take a small path, so that they could walk less and save time.

As the sun set, the three of them took a walk by the river, which was also very pleasant. The sunset is projected in the river water, half of the river is sorrowful and half of the river is red, and it is very beautiful. From a distance, a pair of lovers were kissing on a lawn by the river, and the three of them ran past as if they had done something wrong. After walking over, Wang Zhenzhi shouted, he should watch it for a while, this is more enjoyable than watching a love movie, and the other two laughed at him for being unproductive.

Safe. In about half an hour, they saw the black smoke chimney of the Jiuliwan Cement Factory, and they felt safe! It turns out that this place is a little desolate, and it is not as terrible as the legend says. Meng Fei said that he really understood the true meaning of the fable of the pony crossing the river today.

When I returned to school, it was almost 6 o'clock, and the students in the class were not idle, some were playing basketball, some were playing volleyball, and some were playing badminton. There were also a few classmates who were riding their bikes in school on the playground, fell, got up, and fell again...... The students who were enthusiastic about helping repeatedly explained the essentials of cycling while following the bike. Zhao Hongyi learned with his classmates' cars in the first two weekends, and after countless wrestling, he can now basically ride and walk, but the ability to make the car and temporarily dispose of it is not enough. It's strange to say, if you just learn to ride a bicycle, you see an obstacle in front of you, someone wants to get out of the way, but the car just doesn't listen to the greeting, and wants to hit there.

At present, he will only get on the dead car (that is, people ride first, pedal the footboard, and start with the help of inertia), and he will learn to get on the live car today (that is, he steps on the pedalboard, let the car slide for a certain distance, and then turn over the car with the help of inertia). The methods and tricks are very simple, and it is very simple to see others riding them, but it is not difficult for those who can do it, and it is not difficult for those who are difficult. The hard work paid off, and after many attempts, today he finally got the essentials, and he can barely get on the live car to start, and he can also ride on the track like everyone else.

Zhao Hongyi thought to himself, it seems that Chairman Mao said that "there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as you are willing to climb", which is indeed an unbreakable truth, not only learning to ride a bicycle, but also other things in the world. In the future, I must carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of shyness and hardship, strive to learn well all scientific and cultural knowledge, and also actively exercise my abilities in all aspects.

It was really an unforgettable Sunday, and Zhao Hongyi gained a lot! There is no homework for self-study tonight, so it seems that I can watch "Life" with peace of mind.
