24, weekend

In the 1993 elementary school, there was a class on Saturday morning. After three classes, Zhu Yunxuan packed up his things and went home. He saw Xiaohui riding a bicycle with Li Rui following him.

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to everyone.

Jiang Yuexiu agreed with Li Rui's stay at her house for one night. In fact, she didn't understand Li Rui's parents very much. In her opinion, even if a child who is only six or seven years old doesn't sleep with his parents, he always has to be by his side to feel at ease. So Zhu Yunxuan said that these days it is cold, so she is worried that he will catch a cold at night. Before going to bed, she also has to ask Zhu Yunxuan what he has done during the day to feel at ease.

Li Yue called Li Rui the day before and told him that he would come over on Sunday, so early the next morning, Xiaohui would come to pick up Li Rui. She explained a few words and took out a few beautiful pencils with an eraser on her head to give to Zhu Yunxuan.

Zhu Yunxuan answered with a smile, but no matter how he looked at Li Rui, why did he not like him?

"Auntie, please trouble you." Li Rui smiled at Jiang Yuexiu. He was wearing a white shirt, clean and quiet, but he was carrying a hen whose feet were baled by straw and covered with plastic bags.

"No trouble, no trouble." Jiang Yuexiu spoke quickly and asked Xiaohui to take the chicken back, but Xiaohui pedaled on the bicycle and left.

"Auntie, you don't even take a chicken, I dare not stay there." Li Rui spoke again.

Zhu Yunxuan continued to look at him sideways. In fact, Li Rui stayed to steal his parents' attention and snatched away his parents' attention. He is no longer the Zhu Yunxuan who did not allow his parents to be kind to other children in his previous life, but Li Rui actually wanted to stay at his house to spend the night with him to share the same bed with him... This is quite annoying!

Unfortunately, he couldn't object. Once he opposed it, it seemed like he was making trouble. After all, it was normal for two six-year-old children to squeeze in one bed for a night.

Although the anger was a little cold today, it was fine to wear only one single piece of clothing. Jiang Yuexiu prepared the dishes before going to pick Zhu Yunxuan, a dish of dried tofu, a dish of fried cabbage, and steamed bacon. Seeing Li Rui staying for dinner, she fryed another poached egg for each of her two children.

Zhu Yunxuan ate a bowl of rice in one breath, then moved a stool with Li Rui, opened the door and did his homework in the main hall, while Jiang Yuexiu poured water to kill the chicken and shed her hair.

The hair fades by using boiling water, but the temperature cannot be too high. After soaking the chicken in hot water, you can use an old spatula to shovel the hair off.

There was also an egg with a shell and many eggs with only egg yolks in the hen's belly. Jiang Yuexiu felt a pity when she saw the eggs she bought at the price of a hen. She tried to teach Li Rui to touch the butt of the chicken when she bought the chicken to see if there were any eggs she wanted to lay before buying...

"Mom, the chicken was bought by Aunt Xiaohui." Seeing his mother talking about what kind of chickens are for free, Zhu Yunxuan helped Li Rui speak. Even if the other party insisted on staying at his house for one night, he felt dissatisfied, but he couldn't imagine the scene of Li Rui touching the chicken's butt...

"I understand," Jiang Yuexiu smiled. She remembered it now. She probably didn't have enough money. "By the way, Ruirui, do you want to eat water chestnuts? Do you want to eat loofah? The taro in the field can also be turned over..."

"Auntie, I'm not picky about food." Li Rui immediately spoke. As long as Jiang Yuexiu made it, he would eat it even if it was so unpalatable!

"I have no work in my hands these days. The clothes I made for your mother have been prepared. Don't just go to touch snails in the afternoon. It has been raining a lot during this period, and the water in the river has been cleared. It's until the mud and sand are raised in the evening, and you can cook snails for food." Jiang Yuexiu thought for a long time, and then came up with another dish: "What a pity, if you come here in summer, you can still go into the water to swim."

Children in the countryside will hike into the river in summer. Zhu Yunxuan has swam twice after he was reborn. Children as old as him basically have parents or grandparents watching the tour, and then each of them has an old tire as a lifebuoy.

Zhu Yunxuan had an old black tire. His father specially brought it back from the town and then used his own skills to repair bicycle tires. It was enough to compare it with the gorgeous lifebuoys in flowers, just like the difference between a tank and a sedan.

The older ones will swim with the wooden door bolt or take a few pieces of foam, and then swim. Except for those who are particularly timid, they basically learn to swim.

There was a river in front of Zhu Yunxuan's house. Jiang Yuexiu took a bamboo basket to touch snails. There were snails absorbed in the water plants on the shore and stone tiles soaked in the water. These days, everyone is happy to go to the river to find some extra vegetables, so there are not many snails. More than ten years later, the water in the river became turbid, and several factories were opened nearby. Every household also installed a toilet. There were snails everywhere, but no one dared to eat them after touching them.

Many memories are clearly from the previous life, but now they are extremely distinct. Zhu Yunxuan took off his shoes and went down the river, and flipped the stones by the river. After a while, he actually caught a crab!

This kind of crab is called a stone crab by people here. It is very small and has no meat. Only children can catch them. Zhu Yunxuan especially likes to catch these things.

In fact, his skill in catching crabs is very poor, and his skill in catching lobsters and digging loaches is even worse. Compared with the children in the village who were in the mud all day, they dug more than a dozen loaches, and maybe he had dug one... However, the parents of other children were not willing to waste oil and salt for the little things they got back from their children, but Jiang Yuexiu didn't mind. Even if Zhu Yunxuan only got one loach back, she would be willing to drop a few drops of oil and add some soy sauce and a clove of garlic to steam it for him to eat when cooking.

"Mom, I caught a stone crab, and you can steam it for me later!" Zhu Yunxuan carefully grabbed the back of the stone crab and prevented the two big pliers that the other party was waving to clamp him.

"Okay, you can put it at home first." Jiang Yuexiu agreed immediately, and asked Zhu Yunxuan to use a sickle to get a bamboo pole. The loofah she planted along the river bank, but unpruned mulberry trees, climbed very high. She couldn't pick the loofah without tying the sickle to the bamboo pole.

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxuan ran home with Li Rui, who had been standing by the river, who had been paved with stone slabs. After a while, the two of them ran back with bamboo poles.

Li Rui felt out of place here, basically he couldn't do anything, even the leeks in the field looked very strange. Zhu Yunxuan tied the sickle to the bamboo pole with a rope and talked to the other party: "If you came two days earlier, the mulberry tree would be full of mulberries! You should know that mulberry tree was specially kept for me to eat. Generally, the mulberry trees that only leaves are pruned every year are not good... and peaches, which have been gone for more than a month, and the dates have long disappeared. I had hoped that the dates would be able to have a typhoon when they grew up. Not only did the school holidays, I could still pick up dates and eat them!"

"I remember Lu Xun wrote that his wet nurse used mulberries to make wine." Li Rui said, the countryside is actually quite beautiful, and there is no pollution at this moment.

"I haven't tried this. I only know that every time I eat mulberries, I will eat my mouth purple, and then my mother will change me into black clothes, for fear that my clothes will be dyed by mulberries."

After touching for more than half an hour, Jiang Yuexiu touched enough snails to eat, then used a sickle to hook two tender loofahs and walked home. The loofah is a good thing. If two are planted, the family can eat them for two or three months. That's fine. The old loofahs are hung on the tree until the end, and often only have thick fibers and seeds left. After making out the seeds, they can use the fibers to wash dishes. They are environmentally friendly and easy to use, and are much more useful than the balls of metal wires in later generations.

When the snails were raised into the water, two drops of vegetable oil could spit out the mud and sand in their stomachs faster, Jiang Yuexiu went out to get the water chestnuts again.

"You have so many things grown at home." Li Rui looked at Jiang Yuexiu, and the water chestnuts were grown at home? To be honest, this is the first time he saw many things today, as well as the stone crabs and snails in the basin next to him. At first, he thought the stone crabs were small crabs and snails were small snails...

"Now many people don't go out to buy vegetables, so there are more things to grow in the fields. You can dig a hole in the rice fields to plant some water chestnuts. The varieties of water chestnuts grown at home are not good, and many of them have black spots. Don't worry about eating them well, don't worry about being toxic." Zhu Yunxuan took the Olympiad Mathematics textbook to do the questions and tried to solve each question. Li Rui took his notebook next to him and wrote a novel.

Both of them have adult souls, they have good self-control and are not absent at all.

"Actually, the countryside is pretty good, everything is pure and natural and pollution-free." Li Rui smiled and saw that many snails had already absorbed the basin and climbed onto it.

"But it's very hard to work... By the way, I have planted water chestnuts in my field, but unfortunately I can't eat them now." Zhu Yunxuan's family can grow so many things, but it actually has something to do with his uncle Zhu Chengcai. Zhu Chengcai used to specialize in farming and work as a small worker for others, and from time to time he even took vegetables to the town to sell them. There were more varieties of vegetables grown at home. Correspondingly, Zhu Chengcai's family also planted some.

"When you mature, your mother will definitely ask you to bring me some food, right?" Li Rui wrote a paragraph and said, "When I was studying on Monday, I would go to the reading room to write novels, and see if there are any magazines or publishers that can be submitted."

The drunkard's intention was not wine? Zhu Yunxuan did not respond, but just tried to calculate the topic in his hand, and occasionally painted the draft paper and left some of them as figures.

The thick stack of draft paper was brought back by Feng Xian from the textile factory to him. Zhu Qiuyue was now painting with the girl next door on the drying ground with red bricks. They drew the bedroom, living room, etc., focused on drawing tables for eating, drew several circles as bowls on it, and then moved a small stool and sat on the side, piled up the grass and flowers in several circles to pretend to eat.

The dishes were very rich at night. The chicken made the white-cut chicken. In addition to some vegetables, there was also a large bowl of snails with ginger and sautéed. The butts of these snails were cut off by Jiang Yuexiu using scissors specially cut mulberry strips at home. With a sucking force, the screw meat inside could be sucked out. Zhu Yunxuan and Li Rui were both young and often could not be sucked out. Jiang Yuexiu prepared two long and thick needles for them to pick out the screw meat to eat.

The two children had eaten at the end and didn't even have a few bites of food.

Zhu Yunxuan's family only had a black and white TV that Zhu Chengcai bought when he got married. He and Jiang Yuexiu asked Li Rui and Zhu Yunxuan to go to their room to watch TV, but Li Rui and Zhu Yunxuan had long been no longer interested in TV and were more willing to go to their bedroom to do exercises. This made Jiang Yuexiu and Zhu Chengcai praise them again. When they looked at their son, their mouths were about to break behind their ears.

As soon as his parents left, Zhu Yunxuan widened his eyes.

"You sleep inside at night, I sleep outside." He looked at his bed and felt a little small.

"Okay." Li Rui put the notebook and ballpoint pen in his hand into the drawer in the bed. This bed has been a bit old, right? He looked at it for a few more times and then went to see Zhu Yunxuan: "Don't worry, now I have the heart but I don't have enough strength, so I won't do anything to you."

After saying this, his face couldn't help but turn a little red, and he teased Zhu Yunxuan nakedly...

"Be careful that I've done you!" Zhu Yunxuan threw Li Rui down. He pretended that Li Rui had not understood some of his soft and tentative words, but now the other party teased him, and he immediately fought back.

Li Rui's face turned redder and he couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhu Yunxuan coughed twice, immediately let go of the other party, and covered his whole body with a towel blanket: "I'm going to bed!"

"Oh." Li Rui laughed, and suddenly felt that it was necessary to complain to Jiang Yuexiu more, and that it would be great if he could sleep at the Zhu family normally.

However, I still have to calm down when facing Zhu Yunxuan. It would be too embarrassing to continue like this!
