pick up a date

School started after the [-]th day of the first lunar month. On the morning of the [-]th, Qin Jiu got up at dawn, because he had to get to school before nine o'clock, so he had to hurry up and pack up.He himself went to bed late last night, and woke up so early today, yawning all over the place, with blue shadows hanging around his eyes.He took his schoolbag lightly and planned to go out.At the end, he walked to the door and went back to the bed, took out a piece of candy and put it on the bedside, the rattle of the candy paper didn't wake up Qin Zao on the bed, Qin Jiu moved the quilt down for him Move, don't be bored, I couldn't hold back and tapped the tip of his red nose while sleeping: "A little pig."

Put on the schoolbag, push the bicycle and set off to meet up with the other two friends.The road from the front of Qin's house to the dam was paved with mud. Fortunately, the foundation of the original house was raised high, so it is not too abrupt to connect it like this now.

Qin Jiu worked hard for half the night yesterday and it was still useful. At least now, he was sure that there was something wrong with Zhang Wensheng. Maybe it was because his concept was still growing, or maybe it was because he understood the relationship between his brother-in-law and Brother Lin now. , in short, he didn't think it was a problem at all.The description of this unrecognized feeling in the books he read yesterday seems to have been absorbed by him long ago, and after reading it, he has a kind of feeling, so it is like this.

Looking at the person in front who insisted on riding with Kong Qu, I have to talk to him, Qin Jiu thought, Kong Qu is a very serious person, if the two of them take a wrong step, there is no turning back, and it is too late to regret.

The Qin family’s greenhouse is opened, and people are busy. Before the sprouts sprout, they have to sprinkle water on the ground every day. After the seedlings emerge, they have to be careful about the temperature. They can’t be frozen or covered. In order to keep warm, we must quickly take measures to keep warm. In short, the whole family is busy.

Qin Zao deliberately set the alarm clock a lot earlier today, got up to brush his teeth, wash his face, wash rice and cook, and didn't call for anyone, because he knew that there was no one at home at this time, and everyone had already gone to the shed. They all rushed back from the field to cook for him, and waited for him to eat before leaving.He only found out yesterday when he got up to go to the bathroom.

After cooking the rice porridge, steaming the sweet potatoes, and putting the steamed buns on, he put the lid on the pot. He was a little worried, did he put too much rice?I didn't know how much water to put in, and I thought about how long it would take me to cook before the fire was even lit. I didn't think about what to do if I couldn't light the fire.

When doing something seriously, no matter how bumpy the process is, the fire finally rises.Qin Zao washed the pot ashes from his hands, lifted the pot lid, and checked how much water was left in it and whether the rice was cooked. Fortunately, the rice porridge was cooked well, because the heat was low and the cooking time was long, and the rice oil It's all boiled out.He checked the time, grabbed a sweet potato, carried his schoolbag on his back, and left. While waiting for Zhang Wentong, he still thought that he would watch his mother cook at noon today, so that he could cook tomorrow.

In this way, Qin Zao gradually learned to cook. It wasn't delicious, but it was deeply rooted in the hearts of the whole family. At first they didn't agree to let him cook. Qin Zao squeezed into grandma's arms: "I am our If you are a part of the family, then you can't just eat, I want to cook for you."

Qin Jiu is in the second half of the third year of junior high school this year. As the senior high school entrance examination is approaching, the school's tasks are a bit heavier, and the original double break has also become a single break. He often comes back on Saturday night and has to rush back on Sunday afternoon Self-study in the evening, and there is too much homework to finish during the day when he comes back. Generally, no one disturbs him for various test papers and newspapers, so Qin Zao just quietly accompanied him to read.

In April, the second monthly exam ended, ranking among the top three, and the results were very stable.The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the Qin family's eggplant seedlings are growing lush and green, with a good momentum, and the tomatoes in the greenhouse are also good.

On Saturday night, Qin Jiu came back, and the two of them sat on the bed at night. He opened his schoolbag, took out a package of things and put them on the bed: "I'll show you something."

The two of them bumped into each other and waited to see what was inside. Qin Jiu didn't even look at it. After asking for it from a classmate, he brought it back directly. He unwrapped the newspaper wrapped outside, and the black grains of things inside were In the eyes of the two of them, there was a small pile, more than [-] at a rough glance. Qin Chen squeezed his hands hard, and asked, "Brother, what is this?"

"Lianzi, we can treat it and soak it tomorrow, and it will be transplanted in half a month." Qin Jiu also had a half-knowledge, it was all the result of consulting with his classmates, he tried his best to write it down, try it first and then talk about it.

"Then let's buy some goldfish and put them in. When the weather gets hot, we can pick lotus pods and eat lotus roots at the end." Before planting them, Qin had already fantasized about eating them.

"You want to eat it." After wrapping the seeds in newspaper and putting them on the table, Qin Jiu turned off the light, "Go to sleep, wake up early tomorrow."

"Osmanthus candied lotus root is delicious." Just thinking about it can make your mouth water. Few of them grow lotus, and they don't even sell lotus root. After eating it once, Qin Zao has been thinking about it for a long time.

"Well, I'll make it for you when the time comes, and go to bed quickly."

The next morning, both of them really got up early, and there were so many lotus seeds to be processed.

After pouring out all the lotus seeds, Qin Jiu flipped through them to see what bumps and depressions are, and when he figured it out, he signaled Qin Zao to come over and take a look: "Use a vice to cut the skin on the concave side, and then soak it in water. Just wait until it germinates."

The two started to cut. The black lotus seeds were very hard. Qin Zao was exhausted after clamping two of them. He took out another lotus seed and asked Qin Jiu, "Brother, can I rub it on the ground?"

"Okay, just break the skin." Qin Jiu felt that the result was the same, so the process should not be important.

After finishing it, he found a basin, poured lotus seeds into it, mixed it with warm water, put it in a place where the sun was shining, and told Qin Zao, "Remember to ask grandpa to move it in at night, and move it out during the day."

In fact, the two of them had no idea, and they didn't think of asking other people. It wasn't until the afternoon that Qin Jiu remembered something. At that time, he had already ridden a long way, so he had to turn around and ride back. Bashang didn't get off the car, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Morning, come out."

When I saw Qin Zao coming out, I quickly told him what I just remembered: "The water needs to be changed every day, don't use cold water, don't forget, it will probably germinate in about a week, remember, I'm leaving. "

It's not long before the physical examination for the senior high school entrance examination. I will go to the exam in late April. Zhang Wensheng and Kong Qu didn't come back. They stayed at school to practice the 1000-meter run. Zhang Wensheng stayed to practice with him.It has been a month, and he went to the playground to run with Kong Qu every night. Kong Qu couldn't run at all, and his physical strength couldn't keep up.

All three of them had good grades in cultural subjects, but they scored [-] points in the physical examination, which was included in the total score of the senior high school entrance examination. This is very important, and it is related to whether they can continue to reunite in the best high school.

At the end of the self-study that night, Qin Jiu was a rare light bulb. He let Kong Qu jog first, and called Zhang Wensheng to the parallel bars on the side of the playground. Their school is very strict, and puppy love is strictly prohibited.

Qin Jiu and Zhang Wensheng are in the same class. Their head teacher is a middle-aged uncle with a sense of humor and open-mindedness. He told them: "I don't object to your puppy love, but you must have a firm heart and a strong enough sense of responsibility to be considered a classmate." Falling in love. It’s not because of the recklessness of adolescence...” In short, there are a bunch of Barabaras. Later, they found out that their old class and teacher’s wife had a real relationship with their junior high school puppy love. Only by working hard can the old class be admitted to high school and then to university.According to Lao Ban’s recollection, he didn’t go to bed until two or three in the morning in the third year of junior high school, and got up at five or six in the morning. It was fine in summer, but it goes without saying that he suffered in winter. When he was hungry in the middle of the night, he poured some hot water to soak the buns Eat, just to have a future with the girl in his heart.

Qin Jiu also hoped that Zhang Wensheng could do this. He had goals for the future. The two of them sat on the parallel bars and watched Kong Qu run in front of them. The big searchlight on the side can see the words on it at a glance.Zhang Wensheng was not surprised at all. He didn't want to hide it, but he still didn't know how to say it or how to say it.

"Actually, I don't know what to say to you. I probably just hope that you can go on smoothly." At this time, Qin Jiu felt that the words he was thinking in his heart were not appropriate to say. Zhang Wensheng must have made a plan. He said: " Good luck to you."

"I plan to tell him as soon as the high school entrance examination is over, but I don't know if he is willing..." Before Zhang Wensheng finished speaking, he saw that Kong Qu on the opposite runway had already vomited in the trash can, and he quickly jumped off the double pole: " I'll go there first, and I'll return the book to you."

Catching the book that was thrown over, Qin Jiu looked at his receding back. The shoulders of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy were not so thick, but they were drawn very fast, and the shadow was drawn to be extraordinarily slender. As he moved, Gradually came across the figure of Kong Qu, the person was getting closer, the shadow was far away, and even closer, the shadows of the two people under their feet were entangled so that it was hard to tell who belonged to him, Zhang Wensheng put his hand on Kong Qu's back and patted slowly He caressed, he had nothing to worry about in an instant, the two of them have been like this since they were young, and it is estimated that they will be the same in the future, cuddling each other, from adolescence to youth until their shoulders became thicker.

Looking at the book I worked so hard to turn over, I was afraid that they would not be able to accept people of the same gender as me, so now I can only read more by myself, and turn to Aunt Zhang to subtly influence it.

A week passed, and under Qin Zao's meticulous care, the lotus seeds sprouted and were just waiting for the leaves to take root.Qin Jiu plans to bring some thin clothes when he comes back this week, and he won't be back next week.

In mid-April, the eggplant seedlings had grown quite tall. The Qin family listened to old man Chen's suggestion and erected barbed wire fences along the top of the eggplant row. It is tied to the wire above, which seems to increase production.The family worked hard for two days and finally finished the work.

In the afternoon, before Qin Jiu left, Ji Qingluo said to him: "When you come back from the physical education exam, let's take a family portrait. We haven't taken one this year. Don't forget to tell the owner of the photo studio on the way there. .”

"Got it, I'm leaving."

Although this physical examination is not as important as the high school entrance examination, the students in the third grade of junior high school still take it very seriously. Zhang Wensheng originally planned to talk to Kong Qu about the future and the future after the high school entrance examination, but this physical examination disrupted his plan and made him feel uncomfortable. There was a little surprise in his confession.
