"Zhongba? You're out of the county. Where is it?" Even though she is a native of Jiachuan, Mrs. Zhao still doesn't know the specific location of Zhongba.

"It's said to be out of the county, but it's actually not that far." Zhou Zhi said, "It's much closer than Fubao. It's an island in the middle of the river just down from Rongshan Mountain. There's a village on the island. We'll go there tomorrow. If there's a guest house, we'll stay on the island.

, if there is no guest house, I will go back to Rongshan Town to stay, and I will definitely come back the day after tomorrow."

"Who are they?"

"Girls include Xin Yi, Shu Yi, Ye Xin, Xiong Jiao, Feng Xueshan, and He Shiqing."

"Let's go." In fact, Mrs. Zhao has always felt sorry for her daughter's life-threatening study method. Now that she has the opportunity to let her go out and relax, she has long wanted to.

Next is Jiang Shuyi's house. It's holiday and Ye Xin is also living there now.

Zhou Zhi comes more often now, and has brought positive effects to his daughter. Seeing her daughter's grades rising steadily, although her personality is still introverted, she has gradually gained more friends, which makes Jiang Qiao and Du Yufen's worries disappear.

And empty.

Zhou Zhi often comes to the house to look for his daughter, and his daughter often goes to the sugar and wine company to look for Zhou Zhi. In fact, after the incident of "two mothers intercepting their children at the dock", they no longer take it seriously.

Jiang Qiao was okay. Du Yufen was previously worried that the two children would fall in love early. After careful observation, she found that Zhou Zhi was very attentive to her daughter, but also treated her with caution and politeness, and was very respectful to herself and Jiang Qiao. After that, she could basically confirm that the two children were in love.

It's not that far yet.

Then, an inexplicable regret actually arose...

Zhongba is just below Rongshan Mountain. The supply and marketing cooperative imports brown sugar and white sugar from Jiangjin every year. Du Yufen is naturally very familiar with this important sugar cane producing area.

After hearing that the children wanted to play there, they told Zhou Zhi that the supply and marketing system had a point on the island. Although it was not the supply and marketing system of Jiachuan, business contacts were frequent.

If you encounter any trouble on the island, you can go there and report Jiang Qiao or Du Yufen's name, it will work.

So the matter was settled smoothly, as long as the girls needed babies and the boys would be away from home for a few days, it didn't seem to be a big deal in today's Jiachuan. Parents were busy and didn't care about these things.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered together at the Beimen Pier. A small powered river ship with a dual-carrying passenger tugboat attached to the upstream came over from the upstream.

Yan Xiao was still turning his head to look at the barge as he walked towards it: "Beimen black bean curd, I haven't had it in a while..."

He Shiqing walked beside him, stretched out her hand and poked him: "I will listen to my elbow, and I won't lose your mouth."

They are all from Jiachuan, but not many have ridden on the river ferry. Zhou Zhi often rides on it, Jiang Shuyi once in a while, and Yang He rides on it often, but it is the ferry.

So everyone didn't know what the process was like after getting on the boat. The cabin was very simple, with a total of six rows of benches, and the benches were filled with folks. Now that most of them were down, a large wave came up, and the aisle was full of backpacks and baskets.

etc., it is inconvenient to get off my feet.

The villagers were surprised to see this group of children. They didn't seem to be catching up, and it was rare to get on this boat.

Zhou Zhi said carelessly, "Follow me", and led his friends to a staircase next to the engine room, went up to the second deck, and then walked from the second deck of the power wheel to the second deck of the tugboat.

The environment suddenly changed for the better.

There is a floor of "seated seats" here. The front circle is a glass room with a canvas ceiling, and there are small round tables with four stools beside each small round table.

Every seat here comes with a cup of third-grade jasmine tea, referred to as Sanhua, but it costs one yuan extra.

Zhou Zhi asked everyone to sit down. After a while, a middle-aged man with an apron on his waist came up. Zhou Zhi didn't know what to call a cook on a boat like this. He thought of a character named "Chuan Huo'er" in Water Margin.

I already have a nickname for people in my mind.

Chuanhuo'er nodded: "Fourteen."

Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I haven't eaten yet. In addition to tea, I also have noodles with soy sauce."

Chuan Huo'er's eyes lit up: "Fourteen bowls?"

Zhou Zhihao was very arrogant and waved his hand: "Fourteen bowls! But be quick, we are here to eat."

"It's in time!" Chuanhuo'er nodded: "It's very fast!"

As he was talking, the whistle on the power wheel next to him whistled twice. The sound was so loud that it startled the friends who were riding a boat for the first time. Then they all felt that they were too timid, and they laughed and laughed at each other.

.

This is a short-distance river cruise, stopping at stops along the way from Manzhou to Zhuyang River.

Most of the guests who came aboard were fellow villagers who were on a short trip to the market. Only a few people like Zhou Zhi in the city would come to take the boat.

Because the speed is slow in winter and dangerous in summer.

However, slow speed has its advantages. The boat gradually left the pier in reverse. The Jiachuan County above the pier became smaller and smaller in sight, and the field of vision became wider and wider. Eventually, the entire Jiachuan County could be encompassed.

into the eyes.

It can be roughly seen that there are three floors: from the Jiangtan Pier to the green tiles and wooden wall houses in the old street, the first floor; from the brick buildings behind the blue tiles and wooden wall houses, the second floor; further away, the shady green trees on the mountains

And the farmhouse buildings dotted between it are the third floor.

Of course, the division is not absolutely clear. There are several relatively mixed and lively places, namely West Highway Pier, Beimen Pier, and Chishui River Nanguan Pier.

The passenger ship retreated into the middle of the river and began to turn ninety degrees. The line of sight in front of the ship's bow slowly turned from south to east, scanning the piers and Ma Street respectively until the ship's bow was aligned with the river ahead.

At this time, on the left is Baimi Township, which is covered with green trees and bamboos. The White Tower is above the Jiangtan Shipyard in the distance ahead. It is a very obvious landmark.

On the right is Jiachuan County.

On one side are the bustling human fireworks with numerous buildings, and on the other side are the lush natural scenery of carnation trees. The left and right sides are completely different scenery.

The whistle sounded twice more, and the riverboat began to speed up. The scenery on both sides of the bank slowly receded, and the scenery ahead came to the eyes one by one. For those who were experiencing it for the first time, sitting in the teahouse

It is indeed a pleasant experience to sit on an armchair and enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River while sipping this bowl of tea.

"You're really good at playing tricks!" Even a rough guy like Zhao Zhonggang felt that this trip was quite comfortable.

When the miscellaneous sauce noodles arrived, He Shiqing took a bite and said with a smile: "I just said that it's up to the elbow to decide what to eat. No wonder both the elbow and Shu Yi like to take boats. There is indeed a reason."

"Ah, I didn't..." Jiang Shuyi didn't know how to explain: "I don't know either..."

"Shu Yi has never been on a river boat with me." Seeing Jiang Shuyi's panic, Zhou Zhi automatically helped her fill in: "Miscellaneous soybean noodles are only available on the river boat from Manzhou to Zhuyangxi. If you go from Baisha to Rongshan,

You can’t get it even if you’re in the county for a short trip.”

"So I can dig this out for you..." Feng Xueshan felt funny when she thought about it: "There is no way to cure your greedy temper..."

"But having said that, it seems that I have never had such delicious noodles before." Xiong Jiao smiled and helped Zhou Zhi to save some face.

"Really? I've never seen the wide soup noodles with miscellaneous sauce beat the ones on this ship!" Zhou Zhi said as if he had found a close friend: "Inviting everyone to such good noodles and not even saying a nice word, it's still panda talk.
