Chapter 15: Cement Romance

In the evening of the midsummer solstice, he has the habit of listening to English, and Jiang Han also listens to it. Although he didn't understand the technical terms, he could understand the general meaning.

This is normal, after all, he has passed the college entrance examination and understands English.

But that's not the case with the local sound.

The local voice is the big words I heard since I was a child, the stories told by my grandparents, the nagging of my parents, the jokes of my friends, and the words engraved in my blood.

You may not be able to speak, but you will understand.

Most of the time in midsummer, he speaks Mandarin, and he can seamlessly translate between the old man and Jiang Han, but Jiang Han can't, he can't understand what the old people are saying at all.

It's not normal.

Jiang Han questioned Midsummer Solstice: "Are you lying to me!" ”

Since his amnesia, he has always had a sense of confusion, but now it is sharp, which makes the already weak summer solstice even more overwhelming.

Midsummer Solstice didn't expect that this person pretending to be a fool was making a big move. For the first time she was dealing with such a situation, she could only make up nonsense on instinct:

"Well, you, you live in a neighboring village, ten miles of different sounds or something, you know. And I heard that you lived in the city for a while when you were a child, and everyone spoke Mandarin at school, so it's normal to not understand, right? ”

Listen to this is human talk. Midsummer Solstice regretted it after saying it. She thought, it's hard to deceive people.

She's usually so busy that she really doesn't have the energy to waste time on this kind of thing.

She decided that if Jiang Han continued to ask, she would confess everything.

To her surprise, Jiang Han accepted this explanation.

He looked at the midsummer solstice for a long time and nodded solemnly, "I see." ”

He was a little proud, "He also said that he didn't pay attention to me, and he even knew everything about me when I was a child." ”

Midsummer Solstice only felt that a breath was in her throat, which made her very uncomfortable.

She went out angrily, and Jiang Han followed behind her: "Where are you going?" When I go home, do I want to go to the test field again? ”

Midsummer solstice sighed: "Dust, and cement, repair the wall." ”

She left work early today just to come back and repair the wall.

When mixing cement, the midsummer solstice didn't know what to think, staring at the powder and sand in front of him in a daze.

Jiang Han asked: "What's wrong, cement and wrong?" ”

Midsummer Zhi introduced him: "When I got the cement, my father gave me some quicklime, saying that it would be better to mix it together. ”

Jiang Han was puzzled: "So? ”

Midsummer Solstice looked at him mysteriously: "You know, quicklime will heat up when it comes to water." When I was a child, I heard a rumor that this calorie can boil an egg. ”

Jiang Han recalled carefully: "Is it a legend of our village? I think I've heard of it too. ”

Midsummer Solstice only pretended that he didn't hear it, and continued: "I want to verify it. I've wanted to verify it since I was a kid. ”

"Then try it." Jiang Han was a man of action, and after speaking, he ran back to the kitchen. When he reappeared, he had an extra egg in his hand.

Without waiting for the midsummer solstice to speak, he threw the egg into the lime and waved his hand: "Water." ”

"I told you about this to ask you to stop me."

Midsummer Solstice said and immediately poured water into it. She pretended to regret it: "Oops, ruined an egg for nothing." ”

Jiang Han reasoned with her: "How can it be a waste." When it's cooked, we eat the eggs, and if it's not cooked, we let the money come and eat it, and it won't be wasted. ”

He raised his eyebrows at the midsummer solstice, and smiled brightly: "You don't want me to stop you, you want me to be your accomplice." ”

Midsummer Solstice turned his head and refused to look at him: "You know, don't say it." ”

The quicklime was constantly steaming, and the eggs had to sit in for a while. Jiang Han was curious: "You wanted to verify it when you were a child, why did you do it now?" ”

"Children don't have a voice. When I was a child, I said I wanted to give it a try, but adults thought I was joking and told me not to make a mess. …… When I grew up, it was a bit naΓ―ve to do this kind of thing. ”

The midsummer solstice looks a little shy, but fortunately, the time has come at this time.

She shoveled out the eggs with a spatula, showered them with water, and solemnly announced, "Now, it's time to verify the results." ”

She and Jiang Han were next to each other, carefully peeling the eggshell and dividing the egg in two.

It's cooked!

Midsummer Solstice was very happy and wanted to take a photo as a souvenir.

Jiang Han was very cooperative, holding the egg in one hand and 'v' with the other.

So, he was left smiling on his mobile phone in the middle of the summer solstice.

Midsummer Solstice looked at the photos, and then looked at the real person, and said pertinently: "You are quite photogenic." ”

Jiang Han raised his head arrogantly: "I'm already handsome." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's right, too. ”

Midsummer Solstice said, looked at the eggs, and asked Jiang Han: "Have you eaten it?" ”

Jiang Han was dissatisfied: "Isn't it half of a person!" ”

Midsummer Solstice whispered: "Just now, I checked on the Internet, and experts suggest that you should not eat boiled eggs in lime, which is not good for people's health." ”

Jiang Han was furious: "What do you mean by the midsummer solstice, you are human between the two of us." ”

Although Midsummer Solstice was weak-hearted, he was justified: "So you refuse me, and then I won't eat by the way." ”

Jiang Han understood, this person didn't want to eat, and he didn't want to feel guilty.

"Dr. Xiao Xia, forget about being irritable, and I still want to occupy the moral high ground."

Jiang Han put his face in front of the midsummer solstice in disgust, "Who said that it's not okay to waste food." Eh, I can't remember who it is. ”

This person is really annoying. The midsummer solstice secretly reddened his ears.

Jiang Han saw that she was shy, and he became even more energetic, and lamented the poor hen, and accused Midsummer Solstice of being too fierce to him.

In the middle of summer, I couldn't see him arrogant, and it happened that the fat cat came home with a lot of money.

The midsummer solstice is overjoyed, and secretly makes a gesture. The fat cat got the order, jumped on Jiang Han's arm three or two, showed his tiger teeth, and fled with an egg in his mouth.

Jiang Han was startled, and then realized that he had lost a hostage, and said: "This cat, there is a lot of meat, and it is quite flexible." ”

This time it's the turn of the midsummer solstice. She pretended to regret, "I really want to eat it, alas, it's a pity." ”

After saying that, Xi Zizi began to build the wall.

A few stones were laid, and the midsummer solstice came back to my senses: what am I happy about?

Looking at Jiang Han who was helping her pick up stones on the other side, she was shocked: Can fools be contagious?

Jiang Han saw her looking at him, and leaned over again: "I found one thing. ”

He was very close, arm to arm of the midsummer solstice.

Midsummer Solstice has recently become accustomed to his closeness and does not resist. She gave him a look and motioned for him to speak.

Jiang Han said: "The yard near the kitchen has footprints. ”

The Sheng family is a cement yard, close to the kitchen, with four pairs of footprints.

Midsummer solstice is clear: "It's the footprints of my father, mother, uncle and me." When the cement in the yard was not dry, Dad specially let us keep it, saying that it would be a souvenir. ”

When it comes to his father, the midsummer solstice is inevitably sad.

Jiang Han saw it and immediately changed the topic. He pointed to the wall and encouraged the midsummer solstice: "While the cement is not dry, we will also print one." The footprints are too big to print, so how about we print fingerprints. ”

Midsummer Solstice was puzzled, "Why?" ”

Jiang Han said: "Make a commemoration." It's the first time I've built a wall in my life. And it's romantic.

Think about it, many years later, we're all dead, and the fingerprints are still here.

When people find out thousands of years later, they will know that there are two people here to repair a wall in the beautiful weather. ”

So, Dad also told others that there was a happy family of four living here. Thinking like this, Midsummer Zhi said to Jiang Han: "I think that human beings will become extinct in a few hundred years." ”

"You're not romantic."

As he spoke, Jiang Han picked up the index finger of the midsummer solstice and printed it on the undried cement.

Quicklime was used in cement, and Jiang Han asked, "Is it hot?" ”

In the middle of summer, he was about to hit him, so Jiang Han smiled and put his index finger on it.

The fingertips of the two coincided, and a small heart shape was printed.
