The temperature in the small town south of the Yangtze River at the end of July is unbelievably high, and the sun scorches the earth like crazy every day. Shi Jiaojiao looked in the mirror, and then approached to carefully pick up her face, how did she look at it, it was dark, and she couldn't help wailing, "It's too ugly, it's become a little Africa!" ”

At night, I went to Chen Li to send some special products brought back by my father, knowing that this person had a poisonous mouth, so I especially chose to go when I couldn't see clearly. Who knew that in order to attract insects to the chickens, their family actually installed a huge white lamp at the door. As soon as Chen Li looked at Shi Jiaojiao's face, she laughed unceremoniously, shouting that she had actually made an African friend.

Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyes until she walked into Chen Li's house, secretly wanting to strangle the other party immediately. Chen Li handed the gift to her grandmother, the old man has always liked the well-behaved Shi Jiaojiao, and said out of kindness, "What are you laughing at, Jiaojiao is more pleasing than you when she turns black into carbon!" Hearing this, Chen Li almost didn't laugh, and Shi Jiaojiao could only call "grandma" in a sullen voice.

The two of them sat in the small courtyard, and the residual heat of the day steamed from the surface of the ground with a faint smell of. Chen Li brought the grapes, which were not very big, and they were soaked in well water, sweet and sour, and had a rich taste. "Did you pick it up from under the shelf?" "Of course, I don't grow anything myself." "Brag, you grow a pineapple for me." "I can't tell you, nerd. Come and eat Sha Tin watermelon tomorrow night, my grandfather tried to grow it, it's a delicious mess! ”

Shi Jiaojiao didn't pay attention to biting a green grape, grinned so sourly, and immediately handed it to Chen Li. Chen Li stuffed the purple and black shiny hair in her hand into Shi Jiaojiao's mouth, and naturally ate the sour fruit that Shi Jiaojiao had bitten, "I like to eat the ones that are not too ripe, and the ones that are too ripe are sweet!" ”

There was a faint croaking of frogs coming from the rice fields in the distance, and not far away the adults gathered around to enjoy the cool liquid. "I'm going to be scolded by Xia Lei, saying that I'm going to play with her, and I haven't dragged it out and didn't want to move." Shi Jiaojiao said, Chen Li said dryly, "You deserve it!" Shi Jiaojiao glanced at her friend helplessly and said, "I'll go tomorrow!" ”

Chen Li put down her feet on the stool, laughed, and said, "It's late, she called the day before yesterday and asked me to call you, but you didn't come back." Now she's on a trip with her family, and you two just missed it. Shi Jiaojiao screamed "ahhhh

"Ahh Chen Li cried out impatiently, "You two are really hypocritical, don't you stay together all the time when you go to school, how much more flesh does it take to see each other?" Shi Jiaojiao snorted twice unconvinced, and asked, "What about you, what do you say?" Don't you really read it? Chen Li spit out a mouthful of grape seeds and replied, "I can't lie to you!" My parents said that they had been at home for half a year now, and after their eighteenth birthday, they went to the garment factory to learn how to make clothes with my aunt. ”

My mother has rarely worked overtime recently, complaining every day that the factory is inefficient and can't make money. Shi Jiaojiao thought that the garment factory was about to close down, but she didn't expect to accept apprentices! She nodded, patted Chen Li's shoulder, and said honestly: "It's quite suitable for you, you are naturally strong in this regard!" Chen Li laughed twice, raised her neck and said, "That's it!" My sister will make you a new dress for the season when the time comes! "As you say, I'll wait!" "Wait!"

After a rainstorm, my mother went to inspect the small vegetable garden in front of the door, and Shi Jiaojiao felt that the soil was too difficult to remove in the soles of her sandals, so she stood on the side of the road and talked to her mother. "It's useless, the tomatoes turn yellow when it rains, and they don't grow anymore! Look at it, there are a lot of people on this one that haven't grown up! My mother said distressedly that in fact, half of the large and small red fruits were already in the basket!

Shi Jiaojiao squatted down, raised her eyes to see how high the sky was after the rain, and couldn't help but take a deep breath of the good-smelling air! She closed her eyes and comforted her mother, "It's good to have a reward!" Mom nodded, her eyes on the ground, and from time to time she pulled up a few fresh grass sprouts.

"Mom, school is about to start, I want to invite Xia Lei to play at home for two days, okay?" Hearing her daughter's words, the woman straightened up and asked, "The family is so good, are you used to living in our house?" Shi Jiaojiao nodded affirmatively, "Well, I've lived there before, and besides, she really wants to come, and she said that she wants to eat your pumpkin flower noodles!" Mother Shi laughed, "She doesn't dislike me, so I'm naturally happy that she's coming, pumpkin flowers are hard to find, and this rain is estimated to have fallen a lot." I'll take a look at the back of the house! ”

As she was talking, Chen Li called "Auntie" from afar and came over on a bicycle. "You two are playing, I'll go to the back of the house to have a look, in case it gets dark and I can't see." Shi Jiaojiao's mother carried the basket and came out of the ground as she spoke. Chen Li looked at Shi's mother's background incredulously and asked, "Auntie, what are you talking about, it's only three o'clock, and it's still early in the dark!" Shi Jiaojiao smiled, said hello to her mother, and went to the town with Chen Li to pick up Xia Lei and the sixth child.

"Wow! This bowl of noodles is so beautiful! Xia Lei clapped her hands and looked at the bowl that fell in front of her, the clear soup in the bowl was soaked in neatly scooped noodles, and the noodles were covered with three or two golden soft pumpkin flowers, a perfect fried egg, and a few green onions, which really made the eyes full first.

When Mother Shi heard Xia Lei's praise, she smiled shyly, her eyes full of joy. Ji Fei and Chen Li also sniffed the bowl, revealing a "fragrant" expression, only Shi Jiaojiao snorted and said with a smile: "I just praised my mother for being beautiful, and now the noodles are also beautiful, people say that you have a sweet mouth, I think you are a trick to eat all over the world!" Xia Lei snorted, "It's really beautiful, ignore you, I'll eat noodles!" ”

After dinner, the sky is not dark, the wind is cool, whirring through the large rapeseed field in front of the door, leaving magnificent colored clouds after sunset, from the road in front of Shi Jiaojiao's house to see the sky, there is a kind of open atmosphere beauty.

The four girls moved small stools and sat under the eaves to chat, they talked about their childhoods and exchanged memories with each other; talked about what they looked like when they first met each other, and said with a smile that they didn't expect to sit together like this one day; Speaking of the love that started inexplicably, it was particularly humiliating and frustrated...... When she said that, Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but secretly confirm whether her mother was eavesdropping.

Shi Jiaojiao saw that the night was falling, so she quietly pulled Chen Li's clothes through Xia Lei. Chen Li understood, stood up, and said to Xia Lei: "Go, go to my house!" The sixth man already knew the inside story and stood up. Xia Lei hesitated a little, looked at the outline of the black tree in the distance, and said, "Didn't you say that it would take you fifteen minutes to pedal a bicycle to your house?" It's getting late, so it's not too late to go tomorrow. ”

"Jiaojiao's family doesn't have a shower head, and it's inconvenient to take a bath, but my family has it." Chen Li said bluntly, Xia Lei turned her head to look at Shi Jiaojiao, "Then how do you wash it?" Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, "Oh, anyway, it's more comfortable to go to her house to wash." Xia Lei stood up straight, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "No matter what, I will wash how you wash it." Shi Jiaojiao sighed in embarrassment, she and Xia Lei were both good for each other, but they competed with each other.

The sixth clapped his hands, not to mention how good his soft voice was, "How good is this, let's ask Auntie to have some hot water and wash it together~ It's so exciting to think about it!" Xia Lei put her arms around the sixth child's shoulders and nodded desperately, "That's it, are you two still shy?" Shi Jiaojiao looked at Chen Li helplessly, and Chen Li said: "She is willing to do it herself, besides, it's nothing, it's still clean." Seeing this situation, Shi Jiaojiao had no choice but to give Xia Lei a preventive shot, and told her mother to wash at home and prepare the bath water by herself.

The square rented by Shi Jiaojiao's family is a semi-enclosed yard with some plants. There was a simple platform in the courtyard with a basin full of water, and when it was hot, he poured a bath on his body in the open air.

The four girls brought the water and prepared to wash, Mother Shi brought a bucket of hot water, and the girls who had taken off half of their clothes were so frightened that they shrank together, and screamed "Auntie" and "Auntie", Mother Shi smiled and said: "Clean clothes are placed on this stool, there is a faucet there when the water is hot, and the water is heated when it is cold!" "Close the back door and go out.

"No one is here here, there are very few people in our Zhuangzi, don't be afraid!" Shi Jiaojiao said, Xia Lei kicked off her skirt neatly and said, "What? You can see that I'm scared when it's so dark? Shi Jiaojiao was angry and funny, so she had to say that she was just agreeing to her mouth. At this time, Chen Li raised her hand and took off her T-shirt, "Oh wow! Xia Lei snorted softly, and said with a very serious smile: "The little girl is very well developed!" provoked Chen Li to splash the water on her, she held her head, screamed and laughed!

The usually quiet small yard, at this moment, from time to time flew out of the girl's voice, one you asked for soap, the other time she was squinted by shampoo and asked for a towel...... The most is silly laughter.

Mother Shi sat in the room picking broad beans with insect eyes, listening to the children's voices and laughing from time to time. Outside, the moon hid behind thin clouds, as if with a smile on its face.
