Zhou Zhi came to the window and saw that the lights in the dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative below were not yet on. He thought for a moment: "Let's go to the town to eat later. I'll treat you to fried dough sticks and glutinous rice cakes."

"Then what are we doing now?"

"Going for a run on the playground?"

"Running is not fun."

"Then go for a run by the river?"

"Walk!"

The two people came down from upstairs and ran out of the back door of the school in a running posture. However, they did not go in the direction of the dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative, but ran through the woods and along a ditch.

After a while, the two of them ran to the edge of the Yangtze River, and the genius was just bright enough for people to distinguish the river from the other side.

There is sandy land along the river. Farmers took advantage of the retreated beaches and quickly planted peas and broad beans. Now the peas are budding and the broad beans have already produced pods.

"Broad beans mixed with wild onions and folded ear roots are a perfect combination." Zhou Zhi said while looking at the tender broad beans.

"Then... on the hour?" The fourth child never understood what politeness meant.

"Forget it, it's not like we can't buy it in the town." In his previous life, Zhou Zhi would have done it without any discussion, but now he shook his head and continued to run forward slowly: "Uncle farmer, it's hard work farming."

"Elbow, you have changed." The fourth child followed behind, shaking his head as he ran: "I wonder who has been thinking about the sparrow above the teaching building for several years... Elbow, I wanted to ask yesterday if Jiang Shuyi likes you.

With you?"

"Call me sister, no matter how big or small." Zhou Zhi ran forward: "You see, it's lucky that we didn't do anything. There are already farmers who got up to pour manure. If they are caught stealing broad beans, they will definitely not be able to escape and get a beating."

"Then let's get up earlier next time... What's your name, sister? I was born in September, otherwise I should be in the same grade as you... Stop talking nonsense, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"I told you last night, we are old classmates."

"Tch! I've only been at my same desk for half a month. My deskmate changes every Monday. I've never seen any girl treat me like this..."

"That's your problem, not mine."

"..."

The two of them ran through the bean field one after another and came to a wild beach. There were fluffs and fluffs of thatch everywhere on the wild beach.

Just then, something seemed to hear the footsteps of the two people under the fresh grass ahead, and hid rustlingly.

"Rabbit!" "Pheasant!"

The two boars shouted out in unison and jumped away in unison, blocking the place one by one.

"Oh, that's not right!" Those two would have jumped out and disappeared by now, so that they would not be left alive. But now there is no movement inside.

"He's the boss! He didn't even run away!" Lao Si immediately pounced on him, regardless of the wet dew on the fresh grass in the morning.

Zhou Zhi looked around, holding a stone he picked up casually in his hand. Normally at this time, when his prey was running away, he had to make up for it at any time.

Although it is generally not replenishable, it does not affect the fun.

"Oops, big snake!" Lao Si, who had just thrown himself down on the grass, suddenly jumped up.

"How big is the snake? No matter how many months it is, the snake is still coiled in a hole!"

"I didn't lie to you, it's slippery!"

Zhou Zhi looked around: "You stay here and wait for me."

He ran back to the bean field, pulled out two bamboo poles from the bamboo pole shed where the farmers were preparing to build bean racks in the summer, and ran back: "Come on!"

When the two of them worked hard to push away the grass with a pole, Zhou Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "We have made a fortune!"

"Catfish?!" The fourth child looked at the big guy in confusion: "Will the fish come ashore? This place is so far away from the water?!"

"Catfish will come ashore, and they can also catch mice. When you wear it, you can wear it... No, the pole is too thin..."

This big catfish must have weighed more than thirty kilograms. Zhou Zhi ran to someone’s shed and found a piece of wood to build a shed. When he came back, he inserted his gills through the mouth of the big catfish and said, "Hahaha... Lord Jiang is treating me today!"

The fourth child is now dirty and sloppy, but he is still very happy: "Sister is coming today. This fish is enough for two meals! Let's go and carry it back quickly!"

The two men carried the big fish back one after another. This time, the fourth child was in front and behind, and the tip of the tail of the big fish in the middle was still dragging on the ground.

When I returned to the Central School, it was already dark, and the eldest lady had already gotten up. I heard the laughter of the two people downstairs coming from the room to the corridor: "You disappeared early in the morning... Oops, you picked one.

What’s coming back?!”

Zhou Zhi and Lao Si were too lazy to carry the fish upstairs, so they found a big basin in the kitchen and threw the fish into it.

This big pot is used to cook lunch for school students, so the big catfish has to be coiled in it.

The eldest lady has already come down: "Such a big fish! Where did you get it?!"

"We went out for a run to pick it up, and we found it hiding in the grass!" said the fourth child very proudly.

"Look at what you're wearing! Go and change it quickly!"

"No, I have to go up the mountain to dig vegetables later." Zhou Zhi stopped him: "I'm going to see if you feel better..."

Leaving the eldest maid and the fourth child to ladle water into the basin and raise fish downstairs, Zhou Zhi ran to the window upstairs and saw that down the slope Jiang Shuyi had already gotten up and was gargling at the washstand. There were other things on the table next to her.

There is a red basin.

Zhou Zhi put his fingers in his mouth and whistled. Jiang Shuyi heard it, raised her head, and waved to Zhou Zhi with a toothbrush in hand.

Zhou Zhi also waved to Jiang Shuyi, picked up the backpack prepared yesterday and went downstairs: "The fourth child is setting off, eldest lady, let's go!"

"Why are you so anxious?! Haven't you had breakfast yet?" The eldest lady will not allow children to skip breakfast.

Gu Pei

"Let's go to the town to eat!" Zhou Zhi said.

"Again, you're spending money blindly!" the eldest lady said angrily, "Come back early to eat fish!"

After a while, the two wild boars came back again, with Jiang Shuyi beside them.

"Eh? Why are you back again?" The eldest lady was still adding water to the basin.

"Good morning, Teacher Su. I heard from Zhou Zhi that he caught a big fish. I'll come and take a look too."

Jiang Shuyi leaned towards the water basin: "This fish is so scary! It's so ugly!"

The big catfish that comes out of the river has obvious spots on its body, no scales, and a big head and belly. It is normal for girls to be scared.

"Then I won't watch anymore. I'll watch it at the dinner table when I get back." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Ma'am, we are really going to set off this time!"

"Get some money..." When the eldest lady lowered her head and took out a few dollars from her trouser pocket, she found that there was no one in the kitchen.

The town has become lively, and many farmers who come to the city to buy local products have begun to occupy land along the street.

Zhou Zhi came to a breakfast shop with a basket on his back: "Shopkeeper, three bowls of soy milk, two sweet glutinous rice cakes, one salty glutinous rice cake, three fried dough sticks, and three steamed cakes!"

The fried glutinous rice cakes in southern Sichuan are not fried with beaten glutinous rice cakes, but with glutinous rice squeezed into a wooden frame and cut out to be fried. It is said that the rice balls are more suitable if they are close together.

There are two flavors, sweet and salty. The sweet one is round with sweet bean paste in the middle, and the salty one is square with salt and peppercorns.

They all tasted good, and the three people did not take one each of the glutinous rice cakes. Instead, they tore them apart and ate them separately, so that everyone could enjoy every flavor.

Paobao is rice cake steamed with rice milk.

Zhou Zhi and Laosi devoured the rice cake in two mouthfuls.

Jiang Shuyi couldn't bear to eat them so quickly, so she just took them and started eating while walking.

Following an alley from the street of Laochang Town, the three of them came to the road they came from Jiachuan. They followed the road along the outer wall of Tianhua Company up the hillside and walked for three to four hundred meters.

We arrived at the foot of the hill on the outskirts of the town.

Below the hill are mainly terraced fields, and the mid-mountain area turns into a slope, where rapeseed and beans are mainly grown. Above that are some forests, rocky slopes, and a substation on the top.

There was a small stream flowing diagonally from nowhere, and Lao Si was familiar with the road. At the place where the stream crossed the path, he turned to the side of the stream and walked up the ditch.

The scenery along the way is also good, and there are many small birds, most of which are sparrows, thrushes and chirps.

"Here, here!" Lao Si found a wetland beside a ditch: "There are many here!"

"Pluck the ears!" This is a common dish on the dining table of Jiachuan people, and Jiang Shuyi certainly knows it.

"Are Shu Yi afraid of getting his shoes dirty?"

"Afraid!"

Zhou Zhi smiled: "Then we will dig and you will be responsible for washing by the water."

The roots on the wetland were the tenderest. Zhou Zhi and Lao Si began to work. Jiang Shuyi found the water gun made by Lao Si from the backpack and started playing with it while standing on the rocks in the water.

"Comfortable!"

"Eh!"

"The boat is coming down!"

"What?" Jiang Shuyi felt weird. You could cross this stream in a single step, so how could a boat come?

Then Jiang Shuyi saw a green boat floating down. It was made of a galangal leaf with two ends pierced on a bamboo stick. Inside the leaf boat was a pile of new and tender roots.

"So it's such a boat." Jiang Shuyi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and put a bamboo water gun between two rocks to stop the boat: "I'll wash it."

The parts on the ground of Zheergen were only young leaves, and underneath were a network of roots. Zhou Zhi and Lao Si sorted through the roots and got a lot of them.
