The Pentium Era - South to North

The young man rowed the boat and took Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian around the Hongling Reservoir. When they were about to return to the dock where the small rowing boat was parked, the young man asked them if they wanted to row again.

Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian, their heads and arms were burned by the sun, but they still nodded vigorously and said they wanted it.

The young man smiled and said, wait a minute.

He put away the oars and walked into the cabin from the stern. The boat shook violently, and Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian screamed and giggled.

The young man raised the awning on the roof of the cabin so that Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian could not bask in the sun.

The uncle in charge of the boat heard the screams of the two girls, looked over there, and shouted loudly, asking the young man to row the boat back. The young man asked Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian, what should they do if they want us to go back?

The boat awning has just been raised, and both Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian are in high spirits. How can they go back at this time?

Zhang Xiangxi shouted over there: "Uncle, we didn't hear what you said!"

Then he told the young man, "Let's go, let's go, brother, let's go quickly."

The young man laughed and said yes.

He picked up the oar and swung it in the water twice, and the boat turned around. The uncle in charge of the boat continued to shout, but the boat was getting further and further away. Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian's giggles drowned out his voice.

They circled around the reservoir again before rowing back to the dock. By this time, it was time for lunch.

The sun at noon was very scorching, and there was no one in the swimming pool. Even the safety guards had gone back to have lunch, and the rowing boats in the reservoir had all docked.

The uncle in charge of the boat, wearing a straw hat, stood on the dock waiting for them. When they approached, he threatened the young man while stretching out his hand to pull Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian ashore. The young man also jumped ashore without even tying up the boat. , threw the rope in his hand to the dock.

The uncle waved his hand and slapped the young man on the back of the head. The young man was well prepared, slumped and dodged, shouted "I'm going to eat", and ran away.

The uncle wanted to catch up and make up for it, but the untied boat swung away. Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian both shouted "Ship, boat." The uncle looked back, quickly turned around and chased after him, and stepped on the snake that was standing on the dock. Same sliding cable.

Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian laughed as they watched. Zhang Xiangxi bowed to his uncle and shouted "Thank you, uncle!".

Liu Wenqian saw it and bowed as Zhang Xiangxi did, but what she said was "Thank you Heitantou!" People in Hongling Reservoir called the uncle in charge of the boat "Heitantou" because He is black.

Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian walked to the top of the embankment and went back. When they were about to reach the small building, they remembered that the rice was still in their pockets and they didn't even feed the chickens.

"Oh no, sister, those chickens must be waiting for us." Liu Wenqian said.

Zhang Xiangxi said: "Then let's run over and feed the chickens first and then come back for dinner."

Liu Wenqian said yes.

As soon as the two people ran to the office building, Liu Ligan came out of Wu Fool's office, saw them, stopped them, and asked them where they were going.

The two children were chattering. Zhang Xiangxi said that he was going to feed the chickens, and Liu Wenqian said that the chickens were starving to death.

Liu Ligan looked up at the sky and said to them seriously: "It's too hot today and the chickens are sleeping in. They are not hungry yet. Let's take a walk and go back to have lunch before going back."

Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian had no choice but to follow Liu Ligan back.

At noon, the fish restaurant was very busy. They did not go to the private room of the fish restaurant to eat. Instead, they ate in the living room at home. Qianqian asked the waiter to bring the food.

During the meal, Liu Wenqian kept winking at Zhang Xiangxi and calling her sister. Zhang Xiangxi didn't know what she was going to do. Liu Wenqian got a little anxious and spit in her mouth. Only then did Zhang Xiangxi remember that she and Qian Qian said:

"Aunt Qianqian, I will teach Liu Wenqian how to swim in the afternoon. My father said that swimming is a skill that everyone must learn."

Liu Wenqian looked at Qianqian eagerly. Before Qianqian could say anything, Liu Ligan shouted:

"Okay, okay, but not in the afternoon. The sun outside is too strong. Let's swim in the evening. Wen Qian is old enough to learn to swim. When I was your age, I could already swim in the Xinan River."

Liu Wenqian looked at Qianqian, but Qianqian didn't say anything. Liu Ligan asked:

"Wen Qian, do you have a swimsuit?"

Liu Wenqian shook her head, and Zhang Xiangxi immediately shouted: "I brought two swimsuits, and I can give one to Liu Wenqian."

Tan Shuzhen smiled and said: "It's too big, how can your Wenqian wear it?"

Qianqian said: "The service department of the hotel sells them."

This was consent. Liu Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was so simple. It seemed that it was really good to have her father around. No wonder Zhang Xiangxi had learned how to swim from her father so early.

"I'll take you to buy something after dinner." Liu Ligan said, and Liu Wenqian nodded.

After eating, Liu Ligan took Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian to the small shop next to the hotel and bought a swimsuit for Liu Wenqian. As Liu Wenqian grew up, she looked at other children who came here to play with envy every year. Wearing a colorful swimsuit, it was the first time she had her own swimsuit. She was so happy that she wanted to wear it on the spot.

Liu Ligan changed for her and stuffed the changed clothes into his vest pocket. The rice in the pocket leaked out. Zhang Xiangxi saw it and asked:

"Uncle Zangzi, are those chickens hungry now?"

Liu Ligan smiled and said: "I'm hungry, let's go feed him now."

Liu Ligan bought three popsicles, and the three of them ate the popsicles and walked outside.

Along the way, when I met the staff of Hongling Reservoir, they playfully called Liu Ligan Mr. Liu. Liu Ligan asked:

"What do you mean by smiling so treacherously?"

In fact, he knew what it meant. The other party continued to smile and said no, no.

When I met Xiaomei, Xiaomei smiled like this, and Liu Ligan scolded her the same way. Xiaomei replied, I see Mr. Liu is not smiling, why should I cry?

Liu Lipole gave the other party a thumbs up and said, "Yes, that's smart."

Liu Wenqian saw that Xiaomei didn't seem to see the new swimsuit on her body. She pulled Xiaomei's clothes and said to her, "Aunt Xiaomei, is this my swimsuit?"

Xiaomei looked at it and praised: "It's so beautiful!"

Liu Wenqian smiled proudly and said boldly to Xiaomei: "When Taiyang Mimi is little, my sister will teach me how to swim."

The three of them continued to walk forward. The roads here were still the same as when Liu Ligan was here. They had not been renovated much in the past few years, and there were no new projects. When they were in Fool Wu’s office in the morning, Liu Ligan even scolded Wu. Fools, why don't you know how to keep pace with the times?

Wu Fool said: "Jiujin has improved, but it is all in the villages outside, and everyone has replanted vegetables. In the Hongling Reservoir, we don't know what else needs to be added, or else, Mr. Liu, can you give us some advice?"

Liu Ligan walked and looked around, and he also felt that there was really nothing that could be added here, and the places that should be used have already been used.

On this road at their feet, when Liu Ligan was here, he had a bamboo basket in front of him, and Liu Wenqian sat in the bamboo basket. They walked here almost every day. In a blink of an eye, Liu Wenqian was already walking in front of her in a swimsuit. Next year, she They all go to kindergarten in Hangzhou.

At that time, Liu Ligan felt that he would never have imagined such a situation today.

We walked to the rock climbing area. In such a hot weather, there were two people climbing there. They came to participate in the water challenge on Mango Terrace. The props for the challenge had been set up in the reservoir, not far from the rock climbing cliff. In the distance, these two people originally wanted to come early to familiarize themselves with the venue, but the staff refused to let them in, saying that it was the TV station who told them.

The purpose of the TV station is to make you make a fool of yourself in front of everyone's eyes. How can it be possible for you to master all the props and run to the finish line one by one?

Helpless, the two of them came here to rock climb and train.

Zhang Xiangxi was overjoyed and wanted to go rock climbing. When he arrived yesterday, his attempt to climb the embankment failed. It would be a good idea to climb this.

Liu Ligan quickly told her: "You need to be energetic when climbing. The sun is too strong now. Let's feed the chickens first. After feeding the chickens, go back and take a nap, okay? We can row over here, okay? Didn't you say you want to row?"

Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian nodded repeatedly. Neither of them told Liu Ligan that they had actually rowed in the morning. They were afraid that if they told him, he would not take them back.

The three of them went up the mountain. Liu Wenqian often came to feed the chickens. Many chickens knew her. In addition, the chickens were pecking all day long and were never full. When they saw Liu Wenqian coming, these chickens all came from under the bushes. Get out and walk towards them.

Huh, don't think that we don't recognize you just because you're wearing a swimsuit.

Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian took out the rice from their pockets and threw it in through the plastic net. The chickens ate happily. They were still not satisfied after eating. Seeing them cooing, Zhang Xiangxi clapped his hands and said to them :

"No more, I really don't have any more."

The chicken still refused to disperse and kept clucking. Zhang Xiangxi became anxious. She turned over her pockets and cried to the chicken:

"See, I really don't have any, not even one. I didn't lie to you, did you see?"

The chicken didn't laugh, but Liu Ligan laughed.

Back in the small building, Tan Shuzhen and Qianqian had finished eating and were sitting on the sofa chatting. At this time, one of them fell to the left and the other to the right, lying on the armrest of the sofa and fell asleep.

The three of them crept in. Liu Ligan led Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian to the terrace. The entire terrace was covered by grapevine leaves, and bunches of ripe grapes could be seen through the glass on the ceiling.

Liu Ligan asked Zhang Xiangxi and Liu Wenqian to lie down on the bamboo bed to take a nap. He himself fell down on the recliner and fell asleep soon.

Cicadas from far and near chirped tirelessly. The sound of cicadas not only did not make people feel noisy, but made this midsummer noon feel more peaceful. The whole world seemed to be in a nap, only they were still there. Guarding everyone's daydreams.

Zhang Xiangxi closed his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. After a while, Liu Wenqian lay next to Zhang Xiangxi's ear and shouted softly:

"Sister, are you asleep?"

Zhang Xiangxi opened his eyes and Liu Wenqian whispered: "Shall we go catch the cicada?"

Zhang Xiangxi nodded quickly.

The two people tiptoed up, tiptoed through the living room, tiptoed out of the door, and when they got downstairs, they let out a breath.

Walking to the door, Zhang Xiangxi looked at the big tree above his head, where cicadas were chirping "Cicada, cicada", but Zhang Xiangxi didn't know how to catch cicadas. She couldn't climb trees.

Liu Wenqian led Zhang Xiangxi to a sycamore tree. This sycamore tree was quite old. It was planted when the Hongling Reservoir was built. It was tall and straight, with spreading branches and leaves, covering one third of the yard. .

Many people used knives and keys to carve "someone came here for a visit" on the body of the sycamore tree. The writings were of different shades. Many of them were now almost buried by the tree body after being carved on it.

Standing under this tree, the chirping of cicadas above my head seems to be more intense.

Zhang Xiangxi asked Liu Wenqian: "Can you climb trees?"

Liu Wenqian nodded.

Zhang Xiangxi said okay, "Then you climb up and I will help you hold the tree."

Liu Wenqian opened her hands and gestured, and said: "I can't even hug such a thick tree. How can I climb up it?"

Zhang Xiangxi did not tell Liu Wenqian that he could not climb trees, but said: "I can't carry her either."

Zhang Xiangxi looked up at the tree above his head and asked, "Then how did we catch the cicada?"

Liu Wenqian laughed and said, "Catch it on the ground. How can you catch it on a tree? If you climb up, the cicada will fly away."

Zhang Xiangxi was surprised, could cicadas be caught on this ground?

Liu Wenqian found a branch and squatted down. She asked Zhang Xiangxi to squat down too. Liu Wenqian pointed to the small holes in the ground and said to Zhang Xiangxi:

"Did you see it, sister? This hole is the cicada's home. If you dig down, the cicada's baby will be inside the hole."

Zhang Xiangxi really didn't know about this and was very surprised. She pointed to another small hole and asked, "Is this also a cicada's home?"

Liu Wenqian shook her head and said: "That one is the home of earthworms. If you see little earthworms at the entrance of the cave, they are the home of earthworms. Only those without small earthworms like this are the homes of cicadas."

Liu Wenqian said and started digging with branches. The branches were broken, but there was nothing inside. Liu Wenqian and Zhang Xiangxi said:

"Their baby is already old and going to kindergarten."

Then she dug the second one, and Zhang Xiangxi followed suit. As she dug, she saw a head coming out of the ground. Zhang Xiangxi screamed "Ah" and threw the stick away. He took a few steps back. The head came out. What came out was not a cicada, but a small cricket-like animal. After getting out of the hole, it ran away quickly.

Zhang Xiangxi stood there and didn't dare to move. Liu Wenqian chased after him and threw her hands at him, but in the end she didn't catch him.

Zhang Xiangxi was frightened and did not dare to dig anymore. Liu Wenqian continued to dig. When they dug the fourth hole, Liu Wenqian dug out a black pupa from the ground. Liu Wenqian poked it with her hands and asked Zhang Xiangxi to do the same. Zhang Xiangxi didn't dare to dial, so he asked:

"what is this?"

"This is a cicada baby." Liu Wenqian said, "Leave it at home for a few days and the little cicada will come out."

Zhang Xiangxi stared at this mass of things, not believing that this was cicadas. Such an ugly thing, like a piece of dog shit, how could it be cicadas? How beautiful cicadas are.

Braincase came out of the office, holding a cup, and flicked his hand, spilling the water on the ground outside. He saw Liu Wenqian in a swimsuit and Zhang Xiangxi squatting under the sycamore tree, and walked over.

"Uncle, do you understand this?"

Zhang Xiangxi saw Big Brain coming over and asked him. Big Brain took a look and said, yes, I'll find a box for you to raise him.

"If you see it, I will say it is, right?" Liu Wenqian and Zhang Xiangxi said.
