There were no eggs in the car, and the speed of going home was much faster than when I came, and it was only half past twelve when I got home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He knew that Xiao Ji was hungry, so he washed the piece of pork with water, picked up the lean meat and cut it into small pieces, cut it into thin strips, and prepared the green onions and garlic cloves, took a large bowl and some noodles, and made a pot of fragrant shredded pork gnocchi soup.

The pimple soup was ready, Zhao Yunfei first filled Xiao Ji's small bowl, and then used chopsticks to pick out all the shredded meat in the pot, piled it into Xiao Ji's bowl, and then filled a bowl for himself.

At the small square table under the big apricot tree, the brother and sister sat opposite each other, Xiao Ji sensibly picked up two pieces of shredded meat in his bowl and put them in his brother's bowl, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, bowed their heads and ate quietly.

After dinner, Zhao Yunfei instructed Xiao Ji to play with Xiao Hei in the yard, walked out of the village by himself, and first went to the field to see the germination of corn, most of the seeds have broken through the ground, revealing tender seedling sprouts, the germination rate is generally normal, if there are no other unexpected disasters, this year's food problem will not have to worry, plus the disaster relief money, this year may be easier than in previous years.

Zhao Yunfei's family has few fields, so the loss of hail disaster is much smaller, and the disaster relief money is distributed according to the person, so after calculation, his family has no loss, the only thing that makes people a little worried is that the disaster relief money has not been received until now.

......

There is a north-south earthen hill in the west of Donglongquan Village, about two or three thousand meters in length, the east side of Gangzi is low-lying, it is the paddy field of Donglongquan Village, and the west side of Gangzi is high, it is a dry field.

There is an ancient legend in the village, saying that this mound is a giant dragon change, this statement is now believed by not many people, a more scientific explanation is that this mound was once a river embankment, and the location of the paddy field is actually a river, according to the old people in the village, a certain dynasty and a certain generation of a large ship full of gold and silver treasures sank in the river......

-- Every village has its own legend, and there is no way to verify whether the legend is true or not.

Zhao Yunfei climbed up the mound, he likes to wander on this mound, there is too much childhood joy on it, when he was a child, he often took Han Tuo and Li Lanfang to the tugang to play, they can play on it all day with matches in their pockets, burn sweet potatoes, burn potatoes, burn peanuts, roast corn, Roasted grasshoppers, and even roasted a snake, not to mention how beautiful the smell was, they only went home after dark every time, and before going home, they had to pile up a pile of thatch, light it, jump around the fire a few times, and then reluctantly left, while walking in the direction of the village, while looking back at the shining bonfire - Zhao Yunfei at that time, carefree, happy like a bird flying freely in the sky.

......

He walked south to the end of the mound, and was about to turn around and walk back, when he saw a figure in the distance who had also gone up to the mound and was walking towards him.

Zhao Yunfei stood still and didn't move, who else could there be besides Li Lanfang who came to Tugang at this time.

Looking at the figure of the fluttering skirt gradually approaching, Zhao Yunfei felt a little nervous inexplicably, even in the morning when facing the two ill-intentioned policemen, he was not nervous, and at this time, for this childhood sweetheart, his heart was beating uncontrollably faster, and the accelerated running of blood made him blush.

Li Lanfang approached, and the two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"Why did you come to the post so early?" Coming to Zhao Yunfei, Li Lanfang looked at Zhao Yunfei with a light smile and said.

"I came out early, looked at the germination of the seeds in the field, and then went to the post to wait for you. Zhao Yunfei was afraid that Li Lanfang would be worried, so he didn't mention the matter of being arrested at the police station for selling eggs.

"The summer vacation flies so fast, and it's half over!" Li Lanfang had a conversation about finding a topic.

The two stood side by side on the high mound, looking westward, the vast fields, making people's hearts become broader, the mountains in the northwest direction, majestic and solemn, the peaks, high and low, layer by layer, inexhaustible.

Li Lanfang pointed to the white clouds floating on the top of the mountain on the northwest side and said, "Look at that cloud, is it good?"

Zhao Yunfei stared at it, only to see that on the farthest peak of Wulong Mountain, a long and narrow white cloud was slowly changing its shape, first the edge became smoother and smoother, and then the whole cloud became longer and longer, one of the ends slowly became the shape of a dragon's head, the dragon's head became more and more vivid, the eyes, ears, mouth, whiskers, horns, gradually all clearly visible, four dragon claws also slowly stretched out from the body, look closely, found that the dragon head and the body are not closely connected, if intermittent.

"Ah, the dragon-shaped cloud," Li Lanfang clapped her hands happily, "I am so lucky today, I also saw the dragon-shaped cloud." ”

A breeze blew in his face, Zhao Yunfei's body couldn't help but tremble, the dragon-shaped cloud appeared again, last time it rained a hailstorm, what about this time? Moreover, in the past two nights, he dreamed of dragons one after another, and Li Lanfang also dreamed of dragons, coincidentally, today I saw the dragon formed by the clouds again.

The uneasiness that had been hanging over Zhao Yunfei's heart became intense.

"I hope it's superstition!" Zhao Yunfei thought secretly in his heart.

"Hey, why isn't your face so good?" Li Lanfang asked at this time noticing the strangeness on Zhao Yunfei's expression.

Zhao Yunfei was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and said: "It's nothing, it's just a little worried, the last time I saw the dragon formed by the clouds, it turned out to be such a big hail, and now I see this kind of cloud again, I don't know if it will hail, if that's the case, the corn seedlings that have just grown will suffer." ”

Li Lanfang looked at the dragon-shaped clouds that were gradually dissipating and said, "That's just a coincidence, why did you start to be superstitious?"

"Well, that's too coincidental!" Zhao Yunfei clenched his fists, and finally couldn't help but tell the nightmare of that night.

Li Lanfang smiled: "I've also seen horses formed by clouds, but compared to the shape of horses, I think it should be easier to form a dragon." ”

Looking at the northwest sky, Li Lanfang was still full of interest.

The clouds gradually thinned, and finally broke into four or five pieces, slowly drifting into the distance.

Zhao Yunfei said in a deep voice: "That hail, if it had been put fifty or sixty years ago, my village would have starved to death!"

"You're a little worried, it's not fifty or sixty years ago, it's the twenty-first century, let's go, let's go down and have a look. Li Lanfang said with a smile.

Zhao Yunfei raised his head and stared at the mountains in the northwest and did not speak again.

There is not even half a figure in the field at this time, now is not the busy season of farming, many villagers can play cards at night can play all night, lie at home and sleep during the day, on a hot day, lie on the kang to sleep as much as you want, at this time no one wants to come to the field at all.

Li Lanfang wanted to pull Zhao Yunfei's hand, but she didn't want to be too active, although she and Zhao Yunfei had intimate contact in the wheat straw hole, but the girl's unique shyness would not disappear because of that contact.

"Do you remember the earthen kiln we dug in Gangtou when we were children? Let's go and have a look? I don't know if there are any more!" Li Lanfang said with flashing eyes.

Zhao Yunfei nodded and said, "Okay." "Go down side by side with Li Lanfang.

The slope of the post is very steep, and there is no road, overgrown with weeds, and it is bumpy, Zhao Yunfei saw Li Lanfang wearing a skirt, afraid that she would trip over the weeds, so he naturally held her hand.

After leaving the job, Zhao Yunfei wanted to let go of Li Lanfang's hand, but realized that Li Lanfang had no intention of letting go, so he had to hold it again.

They turned to the head of the hill from the side and were pleasantly surprised to see that the earthen cave they had dug when they were children was still there.

Li Lanfang pulled Zhao Yunfei to jump and jump, happily ran to the front of the earthen cave, and found that there was a nest of hares living in the hole, a brown-gray big fat rabbit was frightened out of the hole, and a series of about five or six palm-sized rabbits followed, and ran into the field to the west with a smoke.

Catching hares is Zhao Yunfei, Han Tuo, Li Lanfang's favorite thing to do when they were young, generally in the early winter season, at that time the hare because they want to overwinter, eat particularly fat, the meat is the best, Zhao Yunfei will choose a depression with a ravine according to the terrain, in the narrowest part of the ravine, The place where the hare is most likely to pass through is a good wire sleeve, the wire sleeve is a live buckle, fixed on the ground with a small wooden stake, the size of the wire sleeve is just enough to drill through the head of the hare, when the head of the hare drills in, the body can not drill through, and at this time want to retreat, the wire sleeve has been stuck with long ears, the more the live buckle struggles, the tighter it is - a fat hare has become Zhao Yunfei's delicious meal.

Seeing a nest of hare coming out of the hole, Zhao Yunfei instinctively wanted to chase after him, but was dragged by Li Lanfang: "Don't chase it, do you think you are Xiao Hei?" After speaking, Li Lanfang covered her mouth and smiled.

"Also, two legs can't outrun four legs!" Zhao Yunfei scratched his head and smirked.

This earthen cave reminded Zhao Yunfei of many stupid things he, Li Lanfang, and Han Tuo had done when they were children, such as running from home to this cave to avoid the rain when it rained, going to the cave to get some firewood to keep warm when it snowed, and hiding in the cave on a moonless night to see if something would crawl out of the grave in the distance......

Li Lanfang walked to the entrance of the cave with her hands behind her back and took elegant steps, looked into the cave, and immediately smiled as bright as a spring flower: "The words we wrote when we were children are still there, 'Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave' was written by Han Tuo, 'I am the Jade Emperor' was written by you, and this is the ...... I wrote" Li Lanfang covered her mouth and laughed sneeringly.

"This was written by you, 'I am the Queen Mother'......'" Zhao Yunfei finally relaxed completely, showing a smile, and the troubles that were pressed in his heart were swept away by Li Lanfang's bright smiling face.

Actually, if Du Kang is wine, this old saying does not make sense at all, otherwise how could the ancients say that "it is more sorrowful to use wine to drown sorrows"? Therefore, if Du Kang can relieve his worries, unless this Du Kang is a great beauty.

Li Lanfang is such a beauty who can relieve her worries, giggling and rushing over to cover Zhao Yunfei's mouth with her hand, preventing him from saying the two words behind "Queen Mother", and her body also pasted it.

Warm fragrant nephrite, Zhao Yunfei felt that his chest was gently rubbed by two soft balls, and he involuntarily hugged Li Lanfang's slender waist tightly with both hands.
