On the second day of the holiday, counseling began.

Due to the fact that the school will organize make-up classes for students in the third year of junior high school in August (which is also the practice of Qijiatun No. 2 Middle School), we have to complete our summer homework in July, so I will complete the summer homework with Qi Zhengli.

Still in Qi Zhengli's bedroom, still sitting at that table, we will not talk a word of gossip except for discussing (in fact, it is not a discussion at all, I explained to Qi Zhengli) learning problems.

Maybe I'm used to it, I don't feel abnormal at all, anyway, I'm at the same table at school, but there are no teachers and no other classmates here.

However, there are times when the air is suffocated. For example, when I explained the topic to Qi Zhengli, our bodies were too close, and Qi Zhengli's breath exhaled on my face; For example, the arms that are close to each other accidentally stick to each other and withdraw from each other strangely; Another example is that I was extremely involved in Qi Zhengli's analysis of the problem, and suddenly found that his eyes were stunned, only to notice that a button on his chest had been loosened at some point, and the exposed white chest attracted his attention......

But it's always rare.

This summer, Qi Zhengli became obsessed with catching fish. As long as the weather permits, after completing the tutoring task in the afternoon, Qi Zhengli will always go to the river to catch fish with a few of his friends.

Qi Zhengli has many ways to catch fish. Fishing is certainly one of a kind. But in the hot summer, no one wants to stay on the riverbank, feasted in the sun, waiting for the fish to take the bait. They preferred to stay in the water and swim to the rocky wall, and reach out into the crevice to catch a very wooden fish—I can't name it now, except that the skin of this fish resembles that of a stone pheasant, dark blue and with twine.

They also have a kind of net that is specifically used to net river shrimp. The mesh of this type of net is small, and the net is held in a semicircle by a piece of sliver. The front end of the net is nailed into a wooden frame with a runghead and a wooden stick about the same length and thickness as the handle of the hoe. The shrimp man found a clump of algae and pushed the earthen frame from the bottom of the water towards the algae, and the river shrimp hiding in the algae panicked into the net, and then lifted it up hard, the water leaked through the net, and the small shrimp remained in the net.

I especially like to eat this river prawn fried with wild scallion. I don't know why, maybe it's because I feel too good about myself, Qi Zhengli may have noticed that I like to eat river shrimp more, so he brought river shrimp back in a row for a few days.

More often than not, they will wait for those who fry the fish with *. One * was thrown into the water, and with a bang, the waves splashed several meters high, and the stunned fish surfaced.

As soon as the people who fried the fish "collected their troops", Qi Zhengli and his companions, who were guarding the side, jumped into the water and went to the bottom to pick up the fish that had sunk at the bottom. There are often fish lying on the bottom of the water with half a catty or three or four taels of fish.

It has to be very water-based. Can stay in the water for a long time without breathing. Dig to the bottom of the water several meters deep, open your eyes, and keep swimming. The white color that is different from the sand and gravel is definitely the fish.

Maybe they think that the people who fry the fish are too cool to catch, or maybe it is too hard to get into the bottom of the water to pick up the fish, and an idea sprouts in their minds - to get * fried fish.

Qi Zhengli and their audacity to do this is something that neither uncle nor aunt nor we would have thought of.

I don't remember what day it was in July, but I remember that it was the day when I kept the store for Qi Zhengzhe (this time Qi Zhengzhe did not deliver goods to the countryside but went to other counties and cities to buy goods), because he didn't need to tutor mathematics, Qi Zhengli went out early after lunch.

There is not a single abnormality. The sky is still so clear, the weather is still so hot, and the sun is still so hot. It's an ordinary day.

My father was still picking bricks outside. As there are more and more buildings in Qijiatun County, there are more and more brick-picking jobs, and there are more and more people picking bricks with their fathers.

At that time, small cranes had not yet been invented for use in small buildings.

Uncle still went out to tidy up his few acres of land.

The aunt is still sitting in the alleyway and filling her buns.

I'm still sitting in the "Zhengzhe Wholesale Department" chatting with Qi Caihong.

Speaking of which, another year has passed, and Qi Caihong and Yu Yinshan still haven't reached the point of talking about marriage. I don't know if their relationship is a step closer or if it's standing still, but it's definitely not broken. I once speculated that Qi Caihong liked Qi Zhengzhe and felt that Qi Zhengzhe influenced the course of their marriage. However, in this year, I didn't see how close Qi Caihong and Qi Zhengzhe were. Mother Qi likes Yu Yinshan very much, for sure. Qi's mother is sure that Yu Yinshan is her son-in-law.

Qi Ma takes a fancy to Yu Yinshan's diligence and loyalty. In front of the future mother-in-law, every young man will be very diligent, but there are not many who can be so loyal to Yu Yinshan.

Yu Yinshan and Qi Caihong have been talking for four years, and Yu Yinshan's feelings for Qi Caihong have always been the same.

The relationship between Li Xiuli and Yu Dishou has been tested like never before, because the Li family strongly opposes this marriage.

The reason for the opposition is extremely simple: Yu Di is poor and his family is poor.

The main reason for the poverty of Yu Di Shou is the large population. Yu Dishou's parents had four daughters and three sons. Yu Dishou is the fourth and second among his sons.

In a small county, it is really not a good thing to have many children. One is the lack of land, and the other is the shortage of housing.

"It's very likely that what Xiuli's parents care about is not Yu Dishou's poor family." Qi Caihong said.

"Is there any other reason?" I asked casually. Actually, I don't pay much attention to Yu Dishou and their affairs. After all, I had too little contact with them.

"It's that he has a wonderful father."

"Strange father?" I got a little interested.

"That's right. His father was well-known on the street. I made the majesty of my father home. Qi Caihong was very disdainful.

"What do you mean?"

"Too selfish, too selfish, too self-indulgent, and too domineering. Being his child is really a sin in his previous life. ”

I looked at the rainbow. After several contacts with Qi Caihong, I didn't see her so emotional.

"Really. Kiki doesn't believe it? Do you know how this man did Lao Tzu? I don't do anything all day long, whether it's farm work or household chores. When the weather is fine, he will hold an umbrella and walk around the field and come back. When the farm is busy, he sits at the door of his house, with a cup of tea and a pu fan, just like a person who eats public food. The millet drying at the door, there are chickens to eat, and he doesn't bother to shout. Isn't it weird, you say? ”

I nodded. Indeed, there are very few fathers who do this. I think of my father, who spent all day outside picking bricks.

"Fortunately, his children are all very diligent. However, such a person has a unique skill. ”

"What's the trick?" I was surprised.

"On a few streets, he's the only one who can tie the dragon's head."

"What faucet?"

"It is the dragon head of the dragon lantern on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the one that walks in the front, tall and mighty. Like a dragon. ”

As soon as Qi Caihong said this, I had an impression.

The villagers on Qijiatun Street have a dragon lantern on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. In fact, it is a kind of board lamp, dozens of board lamps are connected together, and the front is a dragon head with a big mouth and a lantern in its mouth, which walks through the various lanes, like a dragon, and is called a dragon lantern.

I didn't expect this dragon head to be pierced by Yu Dishou's father. That's definitely a trick.

"It's really weird." I say.

But while we were talking about these things, a young man with his hair soaked all over his body ran into the shop.

"What about Lili's mother? What about Lili's mother? The young man was terrified.
