It was the middle of a summer afternoon.

At that time, Yan Mei, who had a whim, hummed nursery rhyme songs, did what was sung in nursery rhyme lyrics, and was stupid, she said: "You don't need to lift the small bamboo row, drag a corner and drag it up, go to the water's edge, throw it into the water, feel like you can pout it, wave your hand, take a step with your legs, just reach the boat, row up." ”

Just listen, bang, oh open, sinking, wet, really decaying.

There is a shallow pond that is fortunate and a shallow pond that is sad.

When Yan Mei got up from the pond in the mud and covered in sewage, she found that the pond was too shallow, the water was too shallow, and the bamboo raft floating just now was just an illusion, an illusion to deceive her.

She opened her hands, looked down at the wet clothes, and after a while, she said in hindsight: "Unlucky." ”

I'm going to be told when I go back.

That's it, broken jars, what does she care so much about.

Alas, it's good to get used to it.

When I got home from the street, it was close to 10 noon.

Some people have already prepared lunch early, and the meals are served on the table; Some people's houses are also smoke from the chimney of the stove house later, and the pots and pans are clanging; Some people are late, such as the Yan family at this time, they are preparing the ingredients for lunch, brushing the pot and digging the ashes to wash the rice grains.

What stunned Yan Mei was that Xu Jiayue actually came over at this time.

Did he come to visit his mother-in-law?

Or did you come to see your sister?

No, it should be the former, how could he know the news of their coming? Right!

Sitting next to the stove with a fire, her first reaction was disbelief when she looked at the things he brought into the house, and then she was completely stunned.

But Yan Feng's reaction was much more natural, she smiled naturally, received generously, and said happily: "Xu February, it's okay, you!" What a righteousness! It's not in vain that our relationship is so iron! Give it to you. ”

"Hmm. Of course. You can just take it. ”

"OK, don't forget the arrangements for that afternoon."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. No problem. ”

Hearing this, Yan Mei, who was holding the tongs, couldn't help but interject and asked, "Sister, what is the arrangement?" Why didn't I listen to you. ”

Yan Feng turned around and said in surprise: "Didn't say it? How could it be. Didn't I mention it to you? Just this morning. ”

"Is there one?" Yan Mei was skeptical.

She recalled it carefully, and there was indeed no such thing, so she muttered, "No mistake, sister, when did you tell me." ”

At this moment, Yan Hu came into the house chewing an apple, Yan Feng looked at him, and suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, I told Huzi, I didn't tell you." ”

"I said, I just didn't tell me, my sister ignored me."

After the words fell, Yan Mei pretended to be naughty, looked at Xu Jiayue, and said as if she was puzzled: "Xu Jiayue, when have you met my sister, and you actually discussed something?" ”

Before Xu Jiayue could speak, Yan Hu scrambled to speak, and he said, "This morning." When you and your mother-in-law were waiting for us at the entrance of the vegetable market, didn't my eldest sister and I go to the tailor to cut clothes? It was at the entrance of the Xinhua Bookstore next to the tailor's shop that we met. ”

"Yes, I just bought some information, and when I came out, I saw Sister Feng and Brother Xiaohu."

Xu Jiayue nodded and agreed.

"Oh. That's right. That's a coincidence. ”

Yan Mei was sour.

If she had known, she would have gone with her.

You must understand that Yan Feng was originally going to pull her at that time, but she refused.

There are two reasons, the first is that she wants to stay with her mother-in-law and accompany her. Second, she walked around for too long and didn't want to toss back and forth.

Xu is often parting, Yan Mei now has a kind of beautiful feelings for the Zou family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she cherishes it!

The manifestation is clingy.

This degree of stickiness sometimes outweighs the dependence on her sister Yan Feng.

Yan Mei Ziyu is sensible.

Because she is sensible, she is willing to stay, enjoy solitude, and accompany the Zou family, and the reason is probably the mind, which has grown up.

Although it is not mature and immature, it does not prevent it from playing a role and making her sensible.

Xu Jiayue left, walking in a hurry, Yan Mei could see that he really had something.

They didn't stop here, the rice was cooking, the vegetables were stir-frying, and the only people who did it were Yan Feng and Yan Mei.

Zou also wanted to help, but she didn't have a chance, because Yan Hu was pestering her and playing around.

It's not too hot, the kind that stops in moderation!

Lunch, still out on time.

As a participant, Yan Mei can say very responsibly that she is a miscellaneous person!

Look at what she does, brush pots and pots, wash dishes and chopsticks, and add firewood to the fire.

Let's take a look at what Yan Feng did, washing rice and putting it in the pot, washing vegetables and stir-frying, and grabbing side dishes.

Cooked lightly and heavy, familiar with the master, at a glance, you can see clearly.

Hey, but when it comes to this little dish, Yan Mei is salivating again.

Her love for her mother-in-law Zou's kimchi craft is to the point of throwing herself to the ground.

Every time I think of it, I have to swallow a swallow of saliva to express my nostalgia.

What do you say about Zou's kimchi, if it sounds good, it is called complete, and if it is unpleasant, it is called chowder.

Despite this, when such side dishes are soaked, they can be described as fresh and crispy, moderately salty, and appetizing, with an endless aftertaste.

Hey, I don't know Grandpa Sugar, oh no, it's Grandpa Han's house that has finished eating the kimchi, she has to find a chance to take a look.

She hadn't visited his old man for a few days, well, and Han Chubai, she hadn't seen him either.

Tsk, she misses them!

I don't know if the more I grow up, the more I miss the leisurely days when they spent the days together in the past, Yan Mei couldn't help but float in her mind the scene of the three of them enjoying flowers and butterflies in the courtyard, she missed it very much.

Yan Mei still heard about the arrangement in the afternoon, and Yan Feng proposed to dig up the root of the folded ear, oh, it is the pigskin hole that the farmer often says.

Haha, I don't know if it's the three words pigskin hole, anyway, the name is right with this name, this is probably the so-called dialect fan.

It's confusing to make people scratch their heads, and they can't find the north.

It was about half past two in the afternoon, and Xu Jiayue came over.

At the same time, he also brought a group of friends and an uplifting gossip.

The fact that he brought people over is self-evident, but the grapevine is worth mentioning.

As we all know, in rural areas, especially at this time, when electricity and satellites were not very popular, watching TV was already a luxury, and watching movies was a rare thing.

And the gossip brought by Xu Jiayue and his entourage is about this rare thing to watch a movie.

The name of the movie is unknown, but the broadcast time is there, saying that it looks like around 8 o'clock in the evening.

The location is at the top of their village, that is, the courtyard above Yan Mei's house, where they call the courtyard of Gaotou.

Speaking of the Gaotou courtyard, Yan Mei immediately had a beautiful scenery full of flowers in her mind.

Because the real name of the high-headed yard is Rouge Lane.

Rouge Lane is a flower courtyard famous for flowers, the flower name Rouge, it is needless to say, but the color of the flowers, white, red, yellow, purple, miscellaneous, etc., is bright and vulgar, beautiful as a fairy.

There is a legend that the rouge flower was originally a flower that was transformed into a flower by the fairy Chang'e who accidentally knocked over the rouge dripping from the rouge box when she ran to the moon.

It is also said that rouge tears, flowers are formed, and people call it rouge tears.

That is, the rouge is like tears, dripping down the valley, like a specks of tears, dripping in the green grass, as if they are shedding tears for someone.

There is also a legend that there was once an immortal cultivator who did not drink the water of the stone kiln temple, so he ordered the children to draw water from the canyon where the rouge dripped down.

After going back and forth, the child actually developed a relationship with a woman in the Rouge Canyon.

When the immortal found out, he was furious and imprisoned the boy in the depths of the canyon.

Later, after the woman knew the reason, she came to look for the child, but the canyon is so big and the deep forest is so dense, where can a Qianqian woman find it all?

Not to mention a person who was deliberately hidden!

She walked up and down in the canyon, and searched for seven hundred and forty-nine days, but she did not find the shadow of the scholar.

So, her sad tears fell one by one, splashed on the ground, and grew one by one yellow flowers, and people gave it the nickname "Rouge Tears", which is justified by the name Rouge Flower.

The above is the origin of the rouge flower, which can be called strange.

didn't wait for Yan Mei to think too much, she found a rare phenomenon, Xu Jialan didn't come over?

Honestly, she was amazed!

Let's not talk about the people in their village, let's just say that in their group of children's circle of friends, who doesn't know that she, Xu Jialan, like her Yan Mei, is an out-and-out follower.

This unique thing is simply unprecedented, and there is no one to come!

As soon as she sighed Xu Jialan, Yan Mei found another person, who didn't come to join in the fun, that person was Han Chubai.

Well, these two have made an appointment, right?

They all disappeared.

Forget it, she's not that much gossip.

...... Just stay insensitive!

Besides, Yan Feng and Xu Jiayue and his party have just gathered two tables of mahjong players.

Yan Mei looked at the new members Xiao Bai and Bai Xiangyu in addition to Nan Beibei and Yao Tao, and she sighed silently: The world is so small.

Her classmate Bai Xiangyu is actually the half-sister of Xu Jiayue's friend Xiao Bai.

Sure enough, no book is written without coincidence.

Just when Yan Mei thought that they would set off together to dig up the roots of their ears, Xiao Bai and Bai Xiangyu's mother came.

She came to find someone, and the person she was looking for was Bai Xiangyu.

She greeted everyone with a smile, and said to Xiao Bai: "Bai'er, your sister is not in good health, so my mother will take her back first." You are playing at your Aunt Liu's house, do you want to be obedient? ”

Xiao Bai smiled and said, "Okay, Mom." I know. You take your sister away. Stay safe on the road. ”

Bai Xiangyu also walked to her mother's side very consciously, holding her, silently watching her brother and mother talking, looking well-behaved, just like Yan Mei saw her at school every day, quiet and ladylike.

That's what parents and teachers like to see, and it's also a mask she likes to pretend.

But Yan Mei knew that Bai Xiangyu was really gentle and different from her.

But so what? Yan Mei thought proudly.

Didn't she also pretend to be innocent, and also hide from some people's eyes and ears, didn't she?

Be.

When Yan Mei followed the large army to the direction of the field, she was still proud in her heart.

As she was walking, a whirlwind suddenly blew, causing Yan Mei to exclaim: "Ah, don't go!" Wait a minute! ”

She stretched out her hands and wanted to grab the sunhat flying in the air, but the wind was too skinny, and it was forced to blow into the pond where the willows were still around.

Hearing the shouting, the few people who were walking in front and leading the way also stopped, and Xu Jiayue, who was walking side by side with Yan Feng, turned around, he frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Yan. ”
