Chapter 110 Secret Base
Qiu Huoming had just returned home for a few minutes when he heard Zhang Yougen's voice at the door, "Huoming! Are you home?"
He quickly pushed open the screen door and walked out, "Brother Yougen, why are you here? Come in and sit down."
Zhang Yougen was holding a brand new fish basket in his hand. "Quick, bring a bucket over. We caught half a basket of loaches this time."
Qiu Huoming went straight into the firewood room without saying a word, turned out the bucket, and quickly brought it to Zhang Yougen.
The loaches poured out, at least 20 of them.
"Brother Yougen, when it's ready, I'll send you a bowl."
"No, I'm full on the boat. Last time I didn't catch any fish but caught a person. It was unlucky. This time my luck is back..."
"Rescue someone? Is he not a dead...person?" Qiu Huoming was shocked.
"Alive! But if it was a few minutes later, I can't say for sure. A ruffian from the South Gate, with a bunch of lackeys calling him the South Tyrant. He tried to trick me last time and cheated me out of a lot of money."
"Nan Batian?" Qiu Huoming almost burst out laughing when he heard such a childish name.
"Only state officials are allowed to set fires, and ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps..." Qiu Huoming glared at Gu Xiaoran.
Someone sprinkled water on the ground at the entrance of the alley, and the wind blew over, making me feel cool.
"So you are repaying evil with kindness. You are very generous and magnanimous. How did you save this person?" Qiu Huoming asked curiously.
There are already several summer beds, small bamboo chairs, and small benches scattered around the alley.
When Qiu Huoming came out of the public toilet with a flashlight, he saw the little girl sitting on the cool bed with a palm-leaf fan in her hand, chatting with a child on the cool bed opposite.
I had just written a question and killed two mosquitoes. Chen Sumiang's voice came from the door, "Huo Ming, where did these loaches come from?"
"Your dad will have dinner at your grandfather's house tonight. He should come back after dinner. When the food is heated up, we will eat without waiting for him."
Before I even reached the alley entrance, I heard my little sister yelling, "Mom, over here!"
Qiu Huoming pushed open the door and walked into the kitchen to wash off the mosquito blood.
The smell of mosquito coils gradually became stronger, and there were indeed fewer mosquitoes under the light.
"Why not? Your third uncle's parents are both in the countryside, and... don't take care of the orchard at home. The fruits can be sold at a high price now, and it's convenient to go to the city anyway. After you finish your exams, the pears will be almost ripe, and I'll take you to his orchard to play..."
Li Ming put his hands in his pockets. "It's the same at my house. My mom was afraid that my brother would make noises, so she sent him to my grandpa's house for the summer vacation. It's not necessary. Just treat him normally."
"Brother Yougen sent it over."
"Let's go together. Going back will be like being in prison. I want to relax outside." Li Ming seconded.
Qiu Huoming took a match, lit the mosquito coil, put it in a broken basin, and placed it in the triangle area between the kitchen and the living room door.
When the weather gets hot, this becomes Qiu Huoming’s main outfit.
Qiu Huoming was looking forward to taking the exam as soon as possible. After the exam, he could build a bathroom and a bedroom for his elder sister. He would have such a long vacation and he could plan how to spend it.
White locust flowers are edible. You can eat the roots of the flower stems raw, which is sweet. You can also pick the whole bunch of flowers, wash them, stir-fry them with eggs, and add some chili as a side dish. It is both delicious and nutritious.
Qiu Huoming dodged his hand and said, "Hot."
With fans at home, they spend more time indoors.
This pair of knee-length shorts was made for him by Chen Suniang. They were modeled after the outfit of the male protagonist in the movie pictorials. They were well-cut, with one pair made in blue and one in black. In fact, they were the short trousers worn in later generations.
Qiu Huoming got off the car at the school gate, pushed his bicycle and walked in through the small door. The students were all on holiday, and the school was extremely quiet.
The children were enjoying the cool air on the cool beds, while the adults were sitting on chairs, fanning themselves with palm-leaf fans and bragging.
"By the way, bring me the Fengyoujing, it's also next to the mosquito coils."
After cleaning up for a while, another person came out and said to the students in the corridor: "Are you all here to get your admission tickets? Come in."
"Go back. Your third uncle hasn't left yet. He won't be back for another two days."
After dinner, the outside of the house became lively.
The window beside the bed was open, and there were flying insects fluttering outside the screen. He pulled the simple curtain, which was made of discarded bed sheets that Chen Suniang had skillfully pieced together into a very distinctive curtain.
He was too lazy to use it, so he just connected the faucet with a pipe, stood at the kitchen door in his shorts, and started to flush his body...
"Yes, it's sweet."
"Okay then, I'll make dumplings for him later."
"Hey, your mom is my mom, come on, I'll go back with you after I get my admission ticket..."
There were a few students standing scattered in the corridor in front of the Academic Affairs Office. It was still early and the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office had not yet come to work.
Several younger children were running and playing at the entrance of the alley. Someone brought some mosquito coils, lit them and placed them under his own bed, and the number of mosquitoes in this small area dropped sharply.
"I got back late at night and heard something fall into the water. I saw it was still struggling, so I rushed to rescue it. It turned out to be Fang Jun, that coward. He didn't run his shop and was hiding in the small fishing boat. He must be doing something bad."
"Okay." Qiu Huoming walked into the living room, took out the two things, first applied a little medicated oil on his arm, then quickly came out and applied a little on the back of Chen Suniang's neck. She was going to cook, and the medicated oil on her hands would get on the food.
When Qiu Huoming received his admission ticket, the teacher encouraged him by saying, "Do your best in the exam."
Qiu Huoming picked up the younger sister and carried her back to her room. The older sister and Chen Suniang followed behind him, carrying the summer bed. The summer bed was to be placed in the living room and would be put away when the weather got cold. It would usually be placed in the firewood room.
She was wearing a goose-yellow dress today, her long hair was still tied into a ponytail, and she wore a pair of light brown round-toe leather shoes and a pair of white socks. Her skin was dazzlingly white in the sun.
After I finish my college entrance exam, I will teach my older and younger sisters self-defense so that I can feel more at ease when I go to college in another city in the second half of the year.
After nine o'clock, people who were outdoors began to leave one after another.
"It's still early, let's find a place to chat." Ding Yu suggested.
He staggered back to the living room to harass Chen Suniang.
Not far away, two teachers in short-sleeved shirts walked over.
"Huozi, you are so shameless!" Ding Yu couldn't bear to look at it.
He closed the door to the room, turned the fan to the lowest setting, turned off the lights, got into the mosquito net with a black cat's waist, yawned, clamped the mouth of the mosquito net, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep. go.
-
As the college entrance examination approaches, time passes faster and faster.
The college entrance examination has not yet arrived, but the day is getting hotter and hotter, and it has rained a few times. As the saying goes, it gets hotter after a rain in summer. Chen Suniang finally felt that having a fan at home was a blessing. In the past, she was afraid that the children would be too hot, so before going to bed, she would go to their room and fan them until they fell asleep.
Several students who were waiting for the door to open in the corridor were also staring in amazement.
"Will Third Uncle be willing to live alone in the countryside in the future?"
Qiu Huoming waited in the corridor for a while, and soon saw Ding Yu and others coming in one after another.
"My mother did it. If you want it, just go and please my mother."
At the end of the month, after my eldest sister and her classmates finished their final exams, Qiu Huoming officially stayed at home.
Ding Yu was not shy and laughed, "Are you stunned? The most beautiful girl in Wucheng County is none other than Gu Xiaoran!"
She packed the meal today and it just needs to be heated and ready to serve.
He pressed the switch of the electric fan, and the wind blew over, dissipating some of the heat.
He touched the back of his head. What a coincidence! Brother Yougen looked fierce, but he was actually the warmest-hearted person.
This is Sophora japonica, which blooms a few months later than Robinia pseudoacacia. It has just formed buds but has not yet bloomed. Once the flower blooms, bees will swarm in.
"Huozi, your pants are so nice. Where did you buy them?" Ding Yu asked while pulling his trouser leg.
"Letting them worry about it will give them a sense of participation." Qiu Huoming said with a smile.
After taking a bath, Chen Suniang took a small chair from the room, held a palm-leaf fan in her other hand, and went out to find her own bed.
"I am also from this school..."
"Let's go." Zhang Yougen turned around and left with the fish basket.
"Thank you, Brother Yougen." Qiu Huoming shouted quickly.
"Hey, Huozi, you're here so early!" Ding Yu excitedly put his hand on his shoulder.
"Follow me." Qiu Huoming took the lead.
The cold water poured from head to toe, and he shivered, and his brain became much clearer.
Qiu Huoming shook his head. His father was such a worry.
After a while, they all got their admission tickets.
At this time, she didn't care whether it consumed electricity or not. Following Qiu Huoming's suggestion, she placed a basin of water in front of the fan. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but the wind seemed to bring a little cooler.
"He said no, he often goes on board to eat ready-made food."
"Maybe the teacher who distributes the admission tickets has arrived." Li Ming said.
There were only a few days left before the college entrance examination, and Chen Suniang even spoke softly at home, not to mention her older and younger sisters.
"Coming." Qiu Huoming put down his pen, took the clean clothes, put them in the basin, and carried them into the kitchen.
He had just finished writing half of the paper when he heard Chen Suniang shouting from the kitchen: "It's time to eat!"
Several people in the corridor immediately rushed towards the door, and several more students came in from outside.
Qiu Jianshe came back late, it was already ten o'clock. It seemed that he had drunk some wine in the evening and was drunk. He was in a good mood today. He didn't get angry even though Chen Suniang gave him a cold shoulder. He even took time to come into the small room to visit Qiu Huoming.
The eldest sister finished washing the dishes, and the younger sister had already dragged the cot to the open space at the entrance of the alley.
Chen Suniang waved her hand to fend off a small flying insect and said to Qiu Huoming, "Go back to your room quickly. There are a lot of insects at the door. Dinner will be ready soon."
Today is the day I have an appointment with Fatty and the others to get my admission ticket.
This time they were lucky, as the four people were assigned examination rooms in the same school, just on different floors. Qiu Huoming and Gu Xiaoran were on the first floor, Ding Yu was on the second floor, and Li Ming was on the third floor.
"It's indeed thick!" Gu Xiaoran added.
Qiu Huoming raised his head and put on a dashing look.
Director Jiang was not here today. The security guard at the school gate recognized Qiu Huoming and greeted him.
"There is a mosquito coil in the cupboard. Go light one and put it at the kitchen door. The mosquitoes here are too poisonous..." She reached out and scratched the back of her neck. It seemed that she was bitten too.
When Qiu Huoming returned home, his eldest sister was taking a shower. One had to queue up to take a shower at home, and he was in no hurry anyway, so he rinsed his hands and went straight back to his room to continue writing the paper.
"This child is very close to you. He won't eat the food he has for dinner. Cook it for lunch tomorrow and bring some to him."
Chen Suniang stopped what she was doing and looked at Qiu Huoming scratching his arm.
"Indeed, in such a large Wucheng County, only a man as charming, handsome, and handsome as Pan An, known as the Jade-faced Young Master, can be compared with you..."
He turned around and opened the screen door of his small room, pushed open the door, closed the screen door with his backhand, and took out all the test papers he had received today from his schoolbag. He took out a blank notebook. This time he didn't plan to write directly on the paper as it would be too tiring to wash.
He was wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and dark blue shorts, and his shoes were the leather sandals that his godmother bought him last time.
"Huo Ming, are you writing a paper? Okay, okay, then I won't disturb you..."
By the pond near the faculty and staff dormitory building, the crooked locust tree is still half leaning on the water. Locust trees generally like sunny places, and it is rare to see one leaning on the water like this.
"Then let's go to my secret base." Qiu Huoming looked at the sun in the sky. He must not go to the rooftop because it would burn it.
Through the screen door in the kitchen, Chen Sumiang said to Qiu Huoming:
The cool bed is made of bamboo and almost every household has one. When the weather gets hotter, it is time to go out to eat with bowls and chopsticks. At this time, the cool bed can temporarily serve as an outdoor dining table.
"Oh, you have a secret base, where is it?" Gu Xiaoran became somewhat interested.
Then he saw Gu Xiaoran walking out from behind Li Ming.
Now that I have some free time, the fan can still shake its head to take care of two people.
"Oh, have the people from the village gone back?"
"Our school, what about you?"
The eldest sister has already boiled the hot water for him.
"Okay, is it a green-skinned pear?"
Qiu Huoming found his own bed. His younger sister had already fallen asleep, and Chen Suniang was fanning her.
"Huozi, which examination room are you taking?"
Sure enough, the two teachers walked straight to the Academic Affairs Office, one of them opened the door, and they walked in one after the other.
"No, come back after you finish your exams. Let me tell you, my mom won't even let ants pass through my house lately."
"Puchi" Gu Xiaoran laughed, "Although it's a bit shameless, but your clothes today are quite nice."
He didn't expect that Fang Jun had such a close relationship with Zhang Yougen. He wondered if Fang Jun had drowned in his previous life, so he had never heard any news about him.
As soon as she finished speaking, her ears turned slightly red.
"Fang...Jun." Qiu Huoming was stunned for a moment.
He pinched his arm. Due to recent exercise, the boy's slender body has begun to show initial muscle lines.
Qiu Huoming returned to the small room, the smell of mosquito coils wafted in, and the buzzing sound in his ears gradually disappeared.
The older sister and the younger sister were lying in the living room doing their homework; their final exams were about the same time.
Gu Xiaoran replied with a smile: "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."
He muttered, "That bastard still owes me a meal. Is he refusing to pay me?"
The weather was not yet the hottest, just a little bit hot, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was still quite large. Qiu Huoming quickly dried his body, bent down and returned to the kitchen, closed the door, and changed into a clean old man's shirt and shorts.
He shuddered. He poured a thin layer of water into the bucket. There was no oxygen. Loaches would die if they were exposed to too much water.
But this year, the Qiu family bought an electric fan, so staying indoors is not so uncomfortable.
Less than ten minutes into writing, I heard my older sister pouring bath water, "Brother, it's your turn to take a bath."
On July 7th, cicadas were chirping incessantly and the sounds were heard from the trees in the compound. Qiu Huoming rode his bike to school early in the morning.
Several people followed Qiu Huoming and climbed up the tree trunk one by one. Each person found a branch. The morning sun was already dazzling. Several people sat on the branch, looking at the ripples on the pond through the gaps in the leaves. The wind blew the leaves. The coolness was just right, and it was so comfortable.
Thank you everyone for subscribing and voting :)
After Huozi finishes his exams, he will have to fill in his application form. I will choose carefully for him...
