my bamboo horse rider

Tang Jin and Qin Beichen finally decided to live in the old house permanently.

So the electric fan turned on, and the refrigerator was powered on. The second aunt accompanied them to the store to buy half a box of milk ice cream, and placed the lower half of the drawer in the refrigerator.

Grandma Chunlai talked about wasting electricity, but she didn't object to it. When watching TV, the electric fan was blowing far away, so she didn't have to fan it all the time, but she still held the cattail fan in her hand to repel mosquitoes.

The layout of the old house is very old-fashioned. Entering from the yard is the patio.

In the center of the circular courtyard is a square patio, looking down, it looks like a copper coin with a circle on the outside and a square on the inside.If it rains, the rainwater will fall from the eaves of the black tiles on all sides, and fall into the four side canals of the courtyard, which means cornucopia.

The ground of the patio is paved with bluestone. According to Chunlai’s mother-in-law, there was originally a well, but the wellhead was sealed off and a water press was left.The cold well water can be pressed up by pressing the handle a few times, but sometimes it cannot be pressed up, and a little clean water must be poured into the water press first.

Tang Jin likes to play this very much. Every time spring comes, his mother-in-law washes things, he rushes to fetch water.In fact, Qin Beichen also likes it very much. He took photos of the dark iron-colored water press from various angles, saying that it has a kind of mechanical beauty.

Under the corridor on the left side of the patio is an open space for storing sundries and for children to play, as well as a set of tables and chairs, where guests can sit without entering the main room; under the corridor on the right side of the patio is the kitchen.

Entering through the main hall door in the middle is the lobby room for entertaining guests and eating. The innermost part of the hall is a set of high-back tables and chairs made of high-quality wood, next to the table, on which are placed a clockwork clock and the portrait of the owner. And the Avalokitesvara statue, both are serious things that Chunlai's mother-in-law clearly ordered that children should never touch them.

There are wing rooms on the left and right sides of the main room. After Chunlai's mother-in-law got old, she moved to the right wing room so that she didn't have to climb the stairs.The room on the left is the guest room, where Qin Beichen and Tang Jin live now.

The master rooms are all on the second floor, but because Chunlai's mother-in-law is the only one in the house, the second floor is usually locked, and Tang Jin and Qin Beichen never went up.

The left wing room, like other places in this old house, has a faint sandalwood fragrance.

The furniture inside is all made by local carpenters, including a wardrobe, an old-fashioned dressing table with matching stools, a bamboo lounge chair and a carved bed.

Tang Jin and Qin Beichen slept on this carved babu bed, with white and blue bed curtains hanging on it.

I heard from Granny Chunlai that in ancient times this bed could only be slept on by young ladies from wealthy families, and there were figures of flowers and plants carved on the bed rails. The mother-in-law was reluctant to give it to others, so she didn't sell it.

Qin Beichen took a lot of photos of these old hand-made furniture.

Mosquitoes are unavoidable in a mountainous and watery environment. Before going to bed at night, Tang Jin and Qin Beichen have already mastered the fixed process according to the teaching of Chunlai's mother-in-law.

First, use a cattail fan to fan the inside of the bed tent fiercely to drive out the mosquitoes, then quickly close the bed net and tuck it in. When sleeping, you must quickly and carefully get into the bed net.If you accidentally put a mosquito in, you have to repeat the process.In this way, it is basically guaranteed that there will be no mosquito bites at night.

Chunlai's mother-in-law trusts Liushen toilet water very much, but she is also afraid that the two city children will be bitten by mosquitoes. Since Tang Jin and Qin Beichen live here, she has sprayed it on them every night after taking a bath. The two children can't bear it. Rejection is increasingly becoming a walking toilet water bottle.

Tang Jin himself didn't think much of it, but Qin Beichen, who had a serious obsession with cleanliness, was so resigned to Grandma Chunlai. Tang Jin thought very relievedly, Qin Qin was really soft-hearted.

After the frog fishing incident two days ago, Tang Jin didn't go out to play recently, partly because it rained heavily in the afternoon of the past two days.

During these two days of doing homework at home, Tang Jin worked hard and blacked out the squares of math summer homework on Qin Beichen's notepad. Feeling overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment, he played in the patio with an umbrella.

The heavy rain poured down like cats and dogs, and the water falling into the courtyard from the eaves formed a series of water lines, and the four side canals of the courtyard were full, soaking the bluestone floor into a beautiful deep blue.

"Qin Qin! It's raining so hard!"

Qin Beichen responded.

When the second aunt came to make lunch yesterday, she said that Tang Jin's mother had called and told Tang Jin to be obedient and wanted Tang Jin to have fun here, and that she would ask someone to bring Tang Jin pocket money next week.

So what Tang Jin said today, Qin Beichen followed him.

"Qin Qin," Tang Jin ran into the main room holding an umbrella, "I'll have a milk ice cream."

Qin Beichen: "No, the temperature is low today."

Except this one.

Tang Jin was unhappy, and squatted on the ground holding an umbrella, looking very aggrieved.

Qin Beichen was stern and selfless: "It's no use pretending to be pitiful."

The voices of the two people woke up Chunlai's mother-in-law from her doze. Seeing Tang Jin holding an umbrella in the house, she pretended to be stern, and said to Tang Jin, "Umbrellas at home don't make you grow taller!"

Not tall!

Originally, Tang Jin, who had worked hard and wanted to grow faster than Qin Beichen during the summer vacation, jumped up in fright when he heard this, and rushed to the courtyard with an umbrella, smiling flatteringly at Grandma Chunlai.

It’s raining today, and the temperature is really low, so the electric fan must have been turned off. Seeing Tang Jin’s fawning appearance, Grandma Chunlai shook her fan with a smile, and said with a smile: “In the bucket, there’s a watermelon in the well water, Chenchen you Bring Jinjin to eat, Jinjin won't eat ice cream today."

Qin Beichen responded, and finally moved a few strokes, jumped off the chair, held up an umbrella and walked through the patio, and carried Tang Jin to the kitchen, took the watermelon out of the tin bucket, cut it into pieces, and put it in the enamel basin inside.

Tang Jin held up an umbrella, Qin Beichen hugged the water basin, and walked back to the main room from the patio. He put the water basin on the stool next to Grandma Chunlai, and the three of them ate watermelon together.

The watermelon that has been soaked in well water is ice-cold and seems to be sweeter.

After eating the watermelon, Qin Beichen went back to the table. Tang Jin seemed to have made up his mind that he didn't want to do his homework in the afternoon, so he stepped on the water in the courtyard again, shouted to Qin Beichen, "Qin Qin, let me go out for a while", and ran out.

Qin Beichen stood still.

Not long after, Tang Jin ran back again, as if he had discovered a new continent, he was very excited and insisted on pulling Qin Beichen out.

"You will be surprised!"

Qin Beichen noncommittally followed Tang Jin to the village entrance. On the way, he met Shao Feng who was helping his parents. Shao Feng looked hesitant when he saw them. Tang Jin was generous and greeted him, so Shao Feng also laughed and returned. Say something.

Qin Beichen watched coldly, did not participate, and was not surprised by this development.

Tang Jin has always been a kind and popular person.

Holding umbrellas each, they walked to the stone arch bridge at the entrance of the village.

"Qin Qin, look!"

Tang Jin leaned on the railing and pointed down.

The originally clear river under the bridge, affected by the heavy rain, soared and became turbid, and mutated into a roaring and galloping yellow sand dragon, which tottered away with unstoppable force, and many broken rivers could be seen among the turbid river waves. The comparison between the broken branches and the quiet river with leaves floating in the two people's memories is really shocking.

Not far away, Qin Beichen remembered that there was a Triangle River State, which could not even be seen, and was completely submerged.

They watched the giant yellow sand dragon run away, speechless for a while.

After that day, Tang Jin was very quiet all the time. When he was sleeping at night, Tang Jin tossed and turned on the pillow, and suddenly mentioned it, with a slightly depressed tone: "Why does the rain make the river like that?"

Qin Beichen speculated realistically: "The rainwater flows into the river, causing the river to swell and take away the sediment on both sides. Maybe the sediment at the bottom of the river will also be washed up, making it look murky."

Tang Jin rolled to the edge of the pillow, approached Qin Beichen, and said depressingly, "Xiaohe has grown up. Is it like this when you grow up?"

what grow up.

Qin Beichen glanced at him speechlessly: "When the rain stops, it will clear away."

"really?"

"real."

Tang Jin felt better, rolled to the other side of the pillow and rolled back, suddenly reached out and stroked Qin Beichen's hair: "Qin Qin, don't grow up, okay?"

Qin Beichen patted his hand away and said coldly, "Stop talking in your sleep."

Tang Jin talked to himself, and he knew it was unrealistic, so he laughed while talking: "If you don't grow up, then I will be taller than you. I am already five months older than you Ah, I'm taller than you, so I can take good care of you, and when the time comes, just obediently call me brother hahahahahaha."

After all, Qin Beichen was still young and energetic, so he got up violently, pinched Tang Jin's cheeks and pulled to both sides: "Calling you brother? Huh? Who's brother?"

Tang Jin was still laughing, but his face was pinched by Qin Beichen again. As a result, the whole person laughed even harder, bowing up and hugging his stomach like dried shrimps. Qin Beichen didn't care about him seriously, and was rolled around by him Go and break free.

"Sleep," Qin Beichen lay down again, with a slightly lower tone, and concluded.

So Tang Jin let out a groan, and moved to Qin Beichen's side, trying to pull the hem of his clothes.

Qin Beichen said threateningly: "Don't come close."

Tang Jin was not convinced: "Damn it, how about it!"

Qin Beichen revealed shamelessly: "Come here, you will hug someone again when you fall asleep. You forgot how you poured those eighteen bowls of water."

Tang Jin didn't speak, but he didn't let go of his hands.

Qin Beichen also stopped talking.

Not long after, the two fell asleep one after another.

Their clothes have all been washed once, and Grandma Chunlai uses the cheapest washing powder. No matter what scent is printed on the washing powder bag, it is actually the most basic soap scent.

Qin Beichen likes solid-color clothes, mostly black and white, and other colors are similar dark blue and light gray. If the brand logo is not easy to remove, Tang Jin doubts that he will cut off the logo that others show off without hesitation.In summer, there are fewer trouser colors, denim, black and army green, gone.

Tang Jin's clothing purchase right still belongs to Tang's mother, but they are all suitable for Tang Jin, the colors are much more colorful than Qin Beichen, there are many bright colors such as orange and light blue that are difficult to wear, but Tang Jin looks sunny and handsome, Qin Beichen has never seen him before What clothes don't look good.

No matter what color or brand of clothes, now they all exude the most basic soap fragrance.Coupled with the current situation of eating and living together, because we go together wherever we go, the food we eat is almost the same, and the breath on our bodies becomes more and more similar.

In his sleep, Tang Jin smelled the same smell as his own, like a puppy smelling a brother in the same nest, leaned over with peace of mind, arched Qin Beichen's arm, subconsciously wanted to get under his arm, But people are not cats, cats and dogs, and you can't do it just by arching your head. Tang Jin arched again, feeling that this would not work, so he changed his mind, stretched his arms and legs to wrap Qin Beichen, and dragged him into his arms. Pressing Qin Beichen's heart with his head, he rubbed it in satisfaction, and slept more soundly.

When Qin Beichen woke up in the morning, he felt a suffocation that was so familiar that he was almost used to it.

He looked at the top of the bed tent with a speechless expression that looked like Tuzki.

He knew it would be so.

Stupid monkey.

The next day, the sky was clear and the temperature was not too high, which made people very comfortable.

The blue sky was as beautiful as if it had been washed, and Tang Jin was in a great mood. At noon, under the guidance of his aunt, he made a plate of cold cucumbers.

However, these words are as watery as cucumbers. My aunt did all the chopping and seasoning. My aunt was worried about Tang Jin doing it, so Tang Jin could only watch from the sidelines, and finally stirred all the ingredients together.

But during lunch, he still asked Qin Beichen enthusiastically: "Is it delicious? I made it!"

Qin Beichen said it was delicious.

So Tang Jin was in a better mood. On a whim, he ran to the balcony and wrote a summer vacation diary in front of Chunlai's mother-in-law, who used sunflowers grown in dilapidated Tang porcelain pots.

When they came down, Qin Beichen was gone, and there was only Granny Chunlai who was dozing off with squinted eyes in the main room.

Tang Jin asked anxiously, "Where did Qin Qin go?"

Chunlai's mother-in-law didn't take it seriously: "Have you gone out to play?"

Tang Jin hurried out to find someone.

Qin Beichen watched Tang Jin run out of the courtyard.

He was actually on the balcony, looking at the scenery with his back to Tang Jin. Tang Jin ran down after writing his diary, but didn't see him.

It just so happened that he didn't want to see anyone either.

He's out of battery.

But Tang Jin was looking for him.

Qin Beichen's eyes and ears were clear, and he watched Tang Jin run from the old house to the elder son's house, and heard him ask in the yard, "Auntie, have you seen Qin Qin?"

Then he ran from the eldest son's house to the second son's house, "Second aunt, has Qin Qin come to my house?"

Finally Tang Jin ran out from the second son's house, with his head down, walked slowly to the front of the old house, stopped there, looked left and right, as if he was thinking about where Qin Beichen would go.

Just as Qin Beichen wanted to call Tang Jin, an old man came out from the cobbled road with his hands behind his back, holding a bamboo lantern in his hand. When he saw Tang Jin, the old man laughed and asked in Mandarin with a strong accent, "Who are you?" The kid from the city?"

Tang Jin looked back and found that it was an old man. He stood still obediently and replied, "Hi, old man. Yes."

The old man sized him up and boasted, "What a good little official."

It was a common saying in Wu from ancient times. The old man specially spoke it in Mandarin, but Tang Jin had never heard of this word, so he still couldn't understand: "What does 'good little official' mean?"

The old man smiled and explained: "It is to praise you for your good looks, and you will definitely grow up to be a good man in the future."

Embarrassed, Tang Jin scratched his head and blushed a little: "Thank you."

The old man went on to say: "It will be very lively in the next few days. There will be operas, movies, and fireworks. Your children will go to the village with bamboo lanterns."

Tang Jin's eyes lit up: "Then Qin Qin and I also have that bamboo strip lantern?"

The old man waved his hand: "Let the adults take you to my place to do it. What kind of look do you want? Like this one with ears?"

Tang Jin looked at the bamboo strip lantern very much, thought for a while, and said, "I will go to the election with Qin Qin, and when the time comes, let's talk, okay?"

"Okay," the old man agreed, and patted Tang Jin on the shoulder like an old urchin, "Hey, where's the other kid from the city?"

Tang Jin seemed to be a little vigilant: "He went out to play, is there anything wrong with you?"

The old man laughed and said to Tang Jin: "They say that child is beautiful, better than the little girls in our village, kid, you can ask the old man if he would like to play the Eight Immortals?"

Tang Jin suddenly thought of the operas that Chunlai's mother-in-law watched every day, and put those opera robes on Qin Beichen's mind, and immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Grandpa, it can't be done, if Qin Qin knows that you say he is beautiful, He's going to be angry!"

Grandpa is very sorry.

The two talked about the lanterns again, and the old man left with a sigh.

So Tang Jin looked left and right again, and was about to run away.

Qin Beichen picked up a gravel and threw it down.

"Stupid monkey."

Tang Jin looked up, his eyes lit up, "You are here!"

He ran into the old house, rushed up the balcony stairs, and sat down on the ground beside Qin Beichen: "I've been looking for you for a long time. What are you doing here?"

"Do nothing."

Tang Jin noticed that Qin Beichen seemed to be out of battery, so he didn't ask any more questions, and let out an oh.

When the strong wind blows, the white clouds like flocks are blown away.

They sat side by side and watched for a long time.
