Chapter 35: Summer Vacation

Ming Nuan didn't take it to heart about seeing Qi Junze falling from the sky in Gu Wenjing's house, as for why he jumped off the roof, it was none of his business.

Since entering June, the weather has become hotter and hotter, especially in the afternoon, the noisy cicadas in the yard have made people not even sleep well in the afternoon, hot and dry, and finally under the expectations of the children, the summer vacation is finally coming.

Ming Nuan, who finished making the paper, put the pen in the pencil case, dragged it down, Ming Nuan looked out the window at the big willow tree, the afternoon sun shone in through the leaves, sprinkling mottled shadows, it seemed that at this time even the usual annoying cicada chirping became cute. Teacher Lin looked at this little girl, she really liked this little girl, beautiful and smart, and very polite, walked over slowly, looked at the paper on the table, stood next to the table, and looked at the question by question There was no mistake, at this time she saw Minghe next to him also put down the pen, this child is even more absolute, after putting down the pen, he did not check the paper, and fell asleep on the table, Teacher Lin shook his head in his heart, he knew that Minghe was also smart, his wit was no worse than his sister, but this child was too casual, No matter whether you are in class or not, you can sleep when you say you're sleeping.

Finally it was time to hand in the papers, Ming Nuanming and Xiaomeng went home first after handing in the papers, Mingcheng still has a Russian language to test.

"Nuan Nuan, what are you going to do this summer?" Xiaomeng asked.

"It's supposed to be at home, what's wrong? Do you have something to do this summer? Ming Nuan asked.

"Yes" Xiaomeng nodded helplessly, "A few days ago, my grandmother sent a telegram and asked me and my brother to go back to our hometown for a while. ”

"That's good, there should be a lot of fun in my hometown, right?" Now that the matter has come to this, Ming Nuan can't let Xiaomeng stay, so she can only comfort her.

When I went upstairs, I happened to meet Qi Junze going downstairs to throw out the garbage, and said hello with a smile, Qi Junze still nodded expressionlessly.

After arriving home, Chen Guiyun is making cold powder, in fact, Ming Nuan has already said that Chen Guiyun should try not to do anything, and the belly of seven months is getting bigger and bigger, maybe because this pregnancy eats better than before, this time the belly is extraordinarily big, at first I thought about whether it was another pair of twins, Chen Guiyun also specially looked for an experienced doctor in their hospital to see, it was determined that it was a single child, Chen Guiyun was afraid that the fetus would be too big to give birth at that time, and now Chen Guiyun will go downstairs for a walk when she has time to increase her physical strength, in preparation for production.

Seeing that her youngest son and youngest daughter had gone home, Chen Guiyun didn't ask how the exam was, she believed in her child, went to take a bath, and then the cold powder was almost ready to eat. Originally, there was no condition for bathing at home, many people took a large basin filled with water and put it in the yard to warm up, and they could wash it when the children and men came home, but Ming Nuan didn't like this, she asked Huo Jianguo to find a big black iron bucket, fill it with water every day, the summer sun is very strong, and the water can be hot every day, and then connect a pipe and switch, everyone can take a bath every day, cool and cool. This idea is very good, and after Gu Wenjing saw it, she also asked Master Bai to get one at home.

The cold powder made by Chen Guiyun is very fine and smooth, and it is refreshing with the ingredients that Chen Guiyun has prepared herself.

After eating a small bowl of Ming Nuan, she wanted to eat again, but was stopped by Chen Guiyun, saying that it is not good for the health of girls to eat too much cold things, Ming He put a small bowl and made a grimace at Ming Nuan, Ming Nuan gave him a roll of his eyes, I really don't understand, how can Ming He, who is so cold outside, be so funny at home. Ming Nuan suddenly thought of Aunt Gu next door, and said, "Mom, I'll go and send some to Aunt Gu!" ”

"Hey, look at me, I've been pregnant and stupid for three years, and I've forgotten about this stubble, hurry up, send some over while the cold powder is still cold." Chen Guiyun said and knocked on her head.

Ming Nuan took a big bowl, filled it for a night, took a small bowl, put it with spices, walked to the door of Bai's house, there was no hand, Ming Nuan gently kicked the door with his foot, Qi Junze had just finished taking a shower, his hair was still dripping, he heard a knock on the door, Qi Junze thought of Ming Nuan's appearance, could it be her?

Open the door, God really treated him well, the little girl held two bowls, stood at the door with a smile, and saw that it was Qi Junze who opened the door, Ming Nuan was surprised, and quickly reacted, and said: "My mother just made the cold powder, let me send some over, isn't Aunt Gu at home?" ”

"En" Qi Junze paused for a while after speaking, as if the reverse was not quite right, and continued, "Come in, my aunt won't be back this week, there has been a show in the military region recently, and she has been busy recently." Qi Junze explained rarely, after Ming Nuan went in, the bowl was put on the table, and when he was close to Qi Junze's forehead just now, he smelled a faint fragrance, Ming Nuan secretly glanced at Qi Junze, the water flowed down his neck, and the clothes on his chest were wet with a large piece, this scene is really ...... Very tempting.

……

"Brother Junze, I'll go first." Ming Nuan smiled awkwardly and said.

"En" Qi Junze replied expressionlessly.

The children who have finished the test are like birds out of the cage, on a hot day, it seems that those children can't feel the heat, you chase me in the yard, or go out of the yard to play together, in this case, as long as there are older children with them, parents have nothing to worry about.

Mingyang studies by himself at home every day, and greets his mother and younger siblings by the way, while Mingnuan Minghe is reluctant to go out to play, only Mingcheng is not at home every day.

It was a rare cloudy day on this day, Ming Nuan proposed to go to Taobao again, the brothers and sisters went out early, the sky was still bright at this time, they planned to come back before the sun basked people, Ming Cheng carried a military kettle, which was boiled mung bean soup.

During this time, in order not to make people suspicious, they all changed places with one shot, and they were all asked to go through the scrap yard in Jeshi, so now they no longer go to the scrap yard, they found a few children, asked them to find things, and took money tickets as compensation.

"It's still early, and the department store still has half an hour to open, so let's go around the department store first!" Mingyang looked up at the sky, and only a little bit of Xi leaked at this time.

There are a lot of residents around the department store, plus it is not far from the coal plant, many employees and families of the coal plant live here, so there are more people, Ming Nuan heard Chen Guiyun talk about it, the housing here is very tight, a family of seven or eight people crammed into a small house of no more than ten square meters abounds, Ming Nuan was very curious to ask how to sleep at night, Chen Guiyun told her to drop a big net pocket in mid-air, make a hammock and sleep, Ming Nuan instantly remembered the little dragon girl, but not everyone has the little dragon girl's stunt, Normal people sleep in hammocks all night, and they are afraid that they will be tired and will not be able to lift their arms and legs. So at this time, the biggest wish of many newlyweds is to be able to have a bed of their own.

The brothers and sisters slowly walked around the alley, there were several families living in a small courtyard, sometimes I heard the sound of them getting up to cook, full of life, through the half-open door I saw the clothes hanging in the yard, the women came and went, fetched water and cooked, and brought the clothes into the house to be worn by men and children.

Ming Nuan suddenly burst out laughing, and Ming Cheng asked her what she was laughing at. Ming Nuan replied: "I remembered an interesting thing I heard before. ”

"Say what's going on, let's hear it." Minghe said.

Ming Nuan didn't tell the story first, and asked first: "Do you know where the people are the best at living?"

"Where?" Mingyang asked rhetorically.

"It's the capital, isn't it?" Mingcheng couldn't wait to say.

"Definitely not, the people in the capital are rich and have good living conditions, so they are definitely not the most proficient." Before Ming Nuan could answer, Ming He first denied Ming Cheng's answer, "I guess it must be a very poor place." Minghe continued.

"Hahaha, it's neither, it's Shanghai," Ming Nuan said with a smile.

"Shanghai? Why? Mingcheng asked.

"Gee, you'll know after listening to my story." Ming Nuan pretended to be unhappy and said, "Guess how long a family in Shanghai can eat a piece of tofu." ”

"Well, a piece of tofu can be eaten in one meal, but if you are warm and you say that the people of Shanghai have returned, then you have to eat it for a day or two!" Mingyang analyzed.

Ming Nuan shook his head and said, "No, guess again." ”

"Five days, then." Mingcheng said.

"Not right, guess again."

"It can't be more than ten days, right?" Mingcheng said.

"It's to eat for more than ten days, and when the family eats, a piece of tofu is put on the table, and everyone uses chopsticks to dip a little bit, and they can't dip it more, just like that, they can eat it for more than ten days." After Ming Nuan finished speaking, Ming Cheng said that he couldn't understand that the Huo family's living standard had been very high in recent years, even before, he had never lived such a life.

I walked around the neighborhood again, saw that the time was almost up, and returned to the main entrance of the department store. At this time, the door has just opened, but there are already a lot of people coming, because at this time there is a shortage of supplies, and many things, especially various foods, are in short supply, and they can only be bought by coming early.

After Ming Nuan went in, he went straight to the second floor, and as soon as Zhao Chunhua looked up and saw Ming Nuan standing neatly in front of him, he came out of the counter, greeted Sister Zhao next to him, and took them to the fourth floor.

"Why are you imps here?" During this time, the Huo family and Zhao Chunhua have not broken contact, once Zhao Chunhua also invited Chen Guiyun and a few children to his house as guests, the old man and wife of the Zhao family are very good people, and they like it very much when they see a few children, Chen Guiyun also chatted with Zhao Chunhua's sister-in-law, and Chen Guiyun also went to participate in his sister-in-law's marriage some time ago.

"We came out to play, so we came to see my uncle." Mingyang, as the eldest brother, was the first to speak.

"Wait." Zhao Chunhua took out a paper bag from the cabinet and poured out a lot of melon seeds and peanuts from it. "No need, uncle, we still have our stomachs back!" Ming Nuan said.

Several children also resigned, and Zhao Chunhua also knew that their family was not short of these things to eat, so they didn't take out any more things.

"You eat first, I'll go up there and have a look." Zhao Chunhua said.

After a while, Zhao Chunhua brought over a hot water bottle, red leather, and I could smell the smell of leather when I got closer, "It was sold last winter, and I saw it when I was sorting out the warehouse two days ago, the buckle on the cover was broken, and it can still be used, so go back and use it for children in winter." Mingyang took it and looked at it, it was indeed the buckle of the lid, which did not affect the use, and it was also used by children in winter, so he didn't shirk it, and accepted it after thanking him.

"Mingyang, go home and ask your mother, do you have any food stamps and oil stamps at home?" Zhao Chunhua said to Mingyang.

"Okay, uncle, what do you want a ticket for?" Mingyang asked, originally Zhao Chunhua worked in a department store, and Mr. Zhao was the director of the meat factory, which was all a big fat shortage, and their family did not have to worry about eating and drinking.

"It's not for home, it's a girl from my eldest sister's family, she is on the list of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking at home, and she also has it at home, but she can't bring it over, so I want to get her more money tickets, and I won't be wronged when I go to the countryside." Zhao Chunhua said.

"Okay, I'll ask, I guess there should be, I'll send it to you in two days." Mingyang said.

The brothers and sisters who left the department store walked towards Qinghe Bridge, where there were already a few children waiting, all of them were twelve, thirty-four, four or five years old, and when they saw them coming, they all opened their bags and asked Ming Nuan to pick them up.

The brothers and sisters rummaged in the bag for a while, finding out what they thought was valuable, and giving money according to the amount of things, and those who were not picked were not annoyed, because the rest of the things could be sold to the scrapyard in exchange for some change.
