Chapter 2 Popsicle Popsicle

The water was calm again, Li Qing held his breath, stretched his neck, and searched the water with wide eyes.

The other children stopped frolicking, and also looked at the water, the aquatic plants and water chestnut leaves on the water did not move, a few minutes later, a microwave appeared on the water, and then, a splash sprayed out of the water, Li Zhenfu drilled out of the water, wiped the water on his face with his hands, and swam to the shallow water, Li Qing grinned.

Li Feng grinned and shouted, "Dad! Did you just go underwater? ”

"Xiao Fengzi, your father is so powerful"

The people of the village, one after another, came to the small pond, and the little pond became even more boiling.

"Bell bell, bell bell" A bicycle bell rang, and someone shouted at the door

"Popsicles! Bean paste popsicle! Banana popsicles! ”

"Popsicles are coming!"

"Hey~ buy popsicles"

"Oh, here it is~"

"Haha, here it is"

The children pricked up their ears and turned their faces to look in the direction of the bicycle.

Li Qing stepped out of the wooden basin and ran up the pond with everyone.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, wearing a big straw hat, lifted her leg off the bicycle, and before the bicycle was parked, adults and children had already surrounded her.

The girl's face was covered with sweat, and she lifted the lid of the small wooden box tied to the back seat of the bicycle, and inside was a thick quilt, and inside, there were neat stacks of popsicles, and it was bubbling with a hint of coolness.

Song Nanzhi walked out of the thatched hut, smiled and stepped forward to ask, "Little girl, how much is a popsicle?"

The girl smiled and said, "Five."

Song Nanzhi shouted at Li Yun

"Yun'er, take two dimes from my jacket pocket,"

The fourth aunt also ran over with Tie Dan, and Tie Dan stared at the small wooden box on the bicycle.

Seeing that the child next to him was eating a popsicle, making a sighing sound in his mouth, Tie Dan stood motionless, looking at the little boy, and kept swallowing saliva.

The fourth aunt waved her hand, pretending to slap the boy, and said angrily

"You bear child, isn't it good to eat popsicles far away?"

"This popsicle is delicious, so sweet, hahaha"

A middle-aged man also said

"Don't say it, this popsicle is really delicious, I'll see, where it's produced, oh, it's the county food factory, no wonder"

The child was holding a popsicle in his hand, giggling, and deliberately leaned in front of the iron egg, and the iron egg fell to the ground with a drop of saliva.

Four aunts in one pocket,

"Oops, I don't have any money in my pocket,"

Li Yun, who had just walked out of the door of the thatched house, turned around and walked into the house, and came out with two dimes in his hand, "Mom, the money is for you"

Handed over to Song Nanzhi, Song Nanzhi took out a dime from his pocket.

Song Nanzhi bought six popsicles, one each for Li Yun, Li Qing, and Li Feng, and handed one to the fourth aunt.

"Give the Iron Eggs to Eat"

"Ouch, Auntie, I'm really sorry to eat your stuff all the time, Tiedan, call Auntie!"

"Look what you're talking about, child,"

Li Zhenfu also came up from the pond, Li Feng ran over and handed one to Li Zhenfu,

"Daddy, eat popsicles"

"Oh, eat popsicles, I don't eat them, give them to your mother"

"Mommy is already eating"

"Uncle is back, Tie Dan calls Uncle"

"The fourth family, this popsicle is for you to eat, my teeth are inflamed, and I dare not eat it when it is cold"

Song Nanzhi also said next to him

"Fourth aunt, take it and eat it, otherwise it will melt, your brother will be polite"

The fourth aunt grinned and stretched out her thumb and forefinger to take the popsicle.

Li Zhenfu looked at Tie Dan with a smile, bent down and wiped Tie Dan's little face with a coarse cloth bath towel.

"This kid is exactly the same as his dad when he was a child, chubby,"

Song Nanzhi said to the fourth aunt

"Come and sit at home for a while,"

"Auntie, we're going home, my family will plant seedlings tomorrow, go home and prepare."

The little girl who sells popsicles and rides away on her bicycle.

The adults went home one after another.

Li Qing took Li Feng and a group of children in the village in a long line, chattering, and ran to the production team's drying field to play.

It was almost four o'clock, Song Nanzhi was ready to wash rice and cook mung bean porridge, and Li Zhenfu also went to the well in front of the east house to help fetch water.

Song Nanzhi asked suspiciously

"Zhenfu, your teeth are inflamed? Buy some medicine."

Li Zhenfu had an inexplicable expression on his face,

"What? My teeth are inflamed? You see, my teeth, so neat, how can they be inflamed? Your teeth are almost inflamed, hey, hey, big buckteeth."

Li Zhenfu looked at Song Nanzhi and smiled evilly,

Song Nanzhi cocked his front teeth, aimed at Li Zhenfu fiercely out of the corner of his eyes, and stretched out his hand to scratch Li Zhenfu's chest.

"You curly, curly"

Li Zhenfu grinned and dodged.

Song Nanzhi washed the rice, washed the mung beans, added water and poured it into the iron pot, and asked Li Yun to sit on the small bamboo chair in front of the pot hole and make a fire for the earthen stove.

"Zhenfu, I cleaned the water tank in the afternoon, and now we will fetch water."

Song Nanzhi brought two large wooden barrels,

Li Zhenfu pressed it one by one, filled a bucket, and then the two of them carried it to the big water tank next to the earthen stove in the east house with a flat pole.

Li Yun boiled the porridge and ran over to help,

"Dad, Mom, I'll carry it"

"Yun'er, is there a fire in the pot hole?"

"Well, I left, I used two pieces of firewood"

The three of them took turns carrying buckets and pressurized water, Song Nanzhi said

"It's still the eldest daughter, and the two younger ones know how to play crazy all day long, hehe"

Li Zhenfu said with a smile

"She's still young."

The water tank was full of water, Li Zhenfu crooked, walked to the west wall, picked up the bamboo broom, and prepared to sweep the gate.

Song Nanzhi said with a smile

"Zhenfu, rest for a while, what's the hurry, the sun hasn't set yet,"

"I'm done, you don't have to sweep."

"I'll take a look, the corns on your feet, are they better?"

"Much better"

"Yun'er, you and your dad will rest for a while, watch the pot and the hole fire, and I'll wipe the bamboo mat on the bed."

"Hey"

Li Yun agreed, lifted the big teapot on the dining table in the hall, poured out a cup of water, drank it with a bang, and then folded the dried clothes on the bamboo bed in the hall one by one, and neatly sorted them away.

Song Nanzhi took a coarse cloth bath towel, immersed it in boiling water, and added some cold water.

Wipe the three bamboo mats twice, put down the mosquito net, and clamp the mosquito net door with a small clip.

Li Yun took the folded clothes to the table in the West House.

Song Nanzhi walked to the water tank, there was a basin on the lid of the water tank, lifted the gauze, took out a big bowl of leftover rice, and poured the cold water in the basin at the gate.

"Yun'er, look at the small pot, I'll fry the leftover rice at noon"

"It's coming"

Li Zhenfu moved the bamboo bed, two bamboo chairs, and two wooden stools in the hall to the gate, and put the banana fan on the cool bed.

Song Nanzhi said to Li Yun

"Yun'er, go and call your two sisters, come back to take a bath and have dinner, don't call them, you don't know how to come back for dinner."

"Haha, okay, I'll call them both here"

Li Yun walked to the path at the door and shouted loudly towards the village

"Qing'er~Feng'er~, go home for dinner!"

Li Yun walked all the way and shouted all the way, and when he arrived at the grain drying field, he saw that Li Qing and Li Feng and the children in the village were playing crazy.

"Qing'er, Feng'er, go home to take a shower and have dinner"

When Li Qing and Li Feng saw Li Yun, they stopped running wildly, laughed, and touched the beads of sweat on their foreheads with their hands.

Li Qing said to his friends

"Don't play, my eldest sister called us home to have dinner, come back tomorrow to play"

Li Qing and Li Feng ran all the way and returned home, Song Nanzhi said to them

"Go take a shower, we're having dinner"

After a while, Li Yun also came back, and the three sisters went to the Westinghouse to take a bath one after another.

Song Nanzhi brought the soaked long beans, sword beans, green peppers and other pickles to the cool bed.

The family gathered around and began to eat dinner,

At this time, the chickens also clucked towards the chicken coop at home.

"Zhenfu, the chicken coop at home is broken, cut the bamboo tomorrow and make another one, right?"

"Not tomorrow, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and I'll make it up again in a few days when I'm free"

"I'm going there on a business trip."

"Namsan Mountain"

"Dad, the last time you went to Nanshan on a business trip, the pears you brought back were really delicious, with small cores, thin skin, fine flesh and a lot of water."

"My uncle's family also has a pear tree, but his pears have a large kernel and thick skin, and they are still small."

"Of course, there's a big farm there, and it's going to go out of business now."

"Minamiyama pear is famous all over the country"

"The pears of my uncle's house are not delicious, and the trees are about to be broken, hahaha"

After dinner, Li Yun wiped the bamboo bed twice with warm water.

Song Nanzhi looked at Li Qing and Li Feng, and was about to run to the village again, shouting at Li Qing

"You two have taken a shower, don't go crazy again"

"Hmm"

Li Qing and Li Feng, one holding a banana fan in their hands, went to the village to play one by one, and the others had just begun to eat dinner around the bamboo bed.

After turning around, when it was almost dark, Li Qing and Li Feng returned home, lay on the bamboo bed, looked at the sky, slowly climbed up to the moon, and pulled their necks and sang.

"A small cloud, come slowly, please rest your feet, stop for a while, the flowers on the mountain are blooming, I just came to the mountain, lalala, little boy, carry a schoolbag to school, not afraid of wind and rain, let us swing the oars..."

Song Nanzhi and Li Yun washed the dirty clothes, and it was getting dark.

Li Zhenfu sat on the bamboo chair next to the cool bed, shaking the banana fan, helping Li Qing and Li Feng chase away mosquitoes.

Song Nanzhi turned off the lights at home and put the flashlight at the head of the bamboo bed outside.

Li Feng kept shouting, "There are mosquitoes, Mom, Dad, there are mosquitoes biting me."

Song Nanzhi smiled and said, "Hahaha, mosquitoes will bite you alone, me and your father, the fan has not stopped, help you catch mosquitoes"

Li Qing looked forward to looking at Li Zhenfu,

"Daddy, tell a story."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, ah"

At this time, from the side of the willow tree, a tall and thin black shadow quickly moved towards Li Zhenfu's house.
