Definitely not. The results are not convincing. It’s not just for getting a diploma.

Besides, even if the exams are completed in the second half of the year, you still have to wait until the second half of next year to study for graduate school, so there is no need to worry. Just wait for the exams in April and July next year.

July is on fire!

It's the hottest time.

After coming back to freshen up, Qingning took the couple to sleep outside under the grape trellis that night.

Why?

Because the other houses did not have courtyard walls, she had seen people enjoying the cool air in the courtyard in the evening.

At the door of every room, there are several not-so-thick sticks with ropes stretched on the tops. Poplar branches cut from poplar trees are hung on the ropes to block the sun's rays and keep the temperature in the room low during the day.

will be too high.

At night, the ground under the shed is covered with large square pieces made of snakeskin bags that are disassembled and sewn together. Every household has this thing, which is used to wrap cotton. The locals call this thing

Cotton bag.

This thing is spread in a place, a mattress is put on top, the pillows are taken out, and you can sleep under it to enjoy the coolness at night.

Children envy this!

Look! How wonderful this is! The whole family can sleep on it and see the stars in the sky.

I am forced to sleep outside.

The little old lady still has her own insistence and says she won't live outside. She has always adhered to the boudoir education and does not let others see her feet. She has to wear pajamas before sleeping after washing her feet at night. Sleeping outside? Resolutely not going.

Although the floor in my house is smoother than others, it is made of cement after all. After the cement has been exposed to the sun for a day, sleeping on it will be like a hot kang, so you won’t feel cool.

I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep that night.

There was no other way. The fourth master went to the county the next day and bought a big bamboo bed. The bed was not high, a little higher than the ground, reaching the adult's calves. He put a mat on it and brought mosquito nets with him to the four corners of the bamboo bed.

When it is empty, it is specially made by someone. A few bamboo poles can be inserted into it and a mosquito net can be tied to it.

This is great, I gave it to Qing Ningle at night, wallowing between my parents.

A small breeze was blowing, and I watched the stars twinkling in the sky. When I fell asleep, the night was quiet, and I could still hear the constant chirping of mosquitoes outside the tent.

After ten o'clock, the summer heat of the day has dissipated. I have to cover myself with a towel before I can sleep. In the distance are the frogs in the fields and the chirping of cicadas. Nearby are the mosquitoes singing quietly, and the tip of my nose is filled with the unique fragrance of earth.

Not to mention, days like this are indeed the most pleasant and comfortable, away from the intrigues.

The fourth master stretched out his left arm, and Tongtong rested on it. Tongtong stretched out his right arm, slightly lowered, and his daughter rested on it.

Lin Yutong gently scratched Fourth Master's belly.

The fourth master said a half-dazzled ‘hmm’.

Lin Yutong chuckled: "That's good too."

Fourth Master raised his hand and patted Tongtong on the shoulder. What kind of day would you not say would be nice?

There was a smile on his lips. After all, she felt pretty good whenever she was around.

The child's wish to live outside was fulfilled. Even if it was past midnight in the middle of the night, she and the fourth master would get up and carry the little ancestor with a bed under the grape trellis. Don't ask why they don't just live in the grape trellis.

Because I can't see the stars lying there.

Okay! That’s the reason for the child.

There is no reason at all.

One year older, my mouth is sharper, my legs and feet are sharper, and I am bolder.

How old is it? When she was so old, she dared to carry the family's flashlight in the evening and abduct Qingping while her grandmother was going to the toilet. Then the two sisters each had a flashlight and followed the older child eagerly, touching each other.

The cicada has gone.

Flashlights are not available in every household. The two little ones have two, and the older children love to bring them. They touch the monkey, touch the monkey, and use touch characters. It is a black light that lights up the fire, and it is on the tree.

If you touch the grass, you are lucky if you touch it. If you don't touch it, even if you don't touch it... you have to continue.

When children go out to touch this, even those who have flashlights are reluctant to use them.

There happened to be two little girls, each with a flashlight. The old-fashioned flashlight was very heavy, and the two people holding the flashlight could only illuminate a place as high as one person. The older children just coaxed them and told us to use them. It’s your share to touch them.

.

Qingping handed it over, but Qingning quickly grabbed it and hid it behind his back: "I agreed to give a few!"

"I'll give you one out of ten," the older child said.

"Three!" Qingning refused to give in, "Give us three out of ten."

"How do you two divide the three?" the eldest child asked again.

Qing Ning frowned and looked at him with a retarded look: "If you touch twenty, we will get six. We can't divide three, but six can't be divided?"

Older child: "..." A child who failed math cannot afford to be hurt.

The two bargained for a long time, and the result was that one flashlight drew three-tenths, and two flashlights drew six-tenths. Qingning plausibly said: "You have three flashlights, two flashlights are six..."

It seems right.

When the Jin family went crazy to find them, the two girls had already taken off their short sleeves, shamelessly naked, and wrapped two large piles of cicadas in their short sleeves.

The children over there only have one can each.

The two younger ones took away most of the loot.

Qing Ning hugged her father and said, "Look! There are so many! Tell mom to fry them and dad will eat them."

Then Jianliu got behind her father's back.

Her father took off his shirt and wrapped his shirt around his daughter. "Girls are so shy that they are not allowed to take off their clothes outside."

Then he didn’t talk about the child, he happily took his baby and a pack of cicada monkeys that even people with trypophobia wouldn’t dare to look at and went home.

As for the children's trophies, go back and wash them with water, then soak them in salt water. The next day, order four of them, peel them off even with the shells, and pinch the heads off by Lin Yutong, leaving only a little meat. Then put them in oil

The pot is fried. My goodness, the food is delicious.

Because I was scolded by my grandma, I didn’t dare to run out at night. When Fourth Master and Lin Yutong came back from get off work, they were sitting at the door with a small stool, holding their cheeks in their hands. When they saw the two of them, they jumped up. , "Dad, Mom! Catch the monkey."

Then his dad happily said yes.

I came back and washed off all the sweat, and changed into a vest and shorts. Lin Yutong held a flashlight, and the fourth master held the child in one hand, and held a long bamboo tweezer in the other hand, which was used to clamp the cicada monkey. As for Qingning,

He was holding a small plastic bucket in his hand.

A family of three strolled around. Not far from home was the canal. On the edge of the canal, there were rows of poplar trees. The little girl had experience, "That's the most... go there..."

Fourth Master and Lin Yutong were both shocked, wondering where this naughty kid would dare to follow someone to that place at night.

The roads on both sides of the canal are very narrow, and those who are not skilled enough dare not ride bicycles on them. On one side is the canal, on the other side is a slope, and on the other side of the slope is a deep ditch. It is the slope with poplar trees. You talk about summer,

Are the crops running out of water? The water in the canals has never been cut off. Whether it falls into a canal or a ditch, a child of this age will be killed.

Fourth Master reasoned with her and told her where she could go and where she couldn't go, "...it's stupid for people to put themselves in dangerous situations."

Qingning responded one after another, but did not insist on going to the ditch. The fourth master simply pulled the little girl: "Go to the orchard."

The orchard is our own and it is full of trees. There must be a lot of cicada monkeys in it.

The orchard at home has already produced fruit, but no one has been watching it. The big black dog named Heizi raised by Mr. Jin at home is always in the garden. Mr. Jin feeds it on time, and it does not need to be tied up, but it never needs to be tied up.

Neither will leave.

At the beginning of the year, when the fruit trees had just sprouted, Jin Laoer was sweating from working, so he took off the sweater vest under his cotton coat and put it on the tree. He forgot to put it on when he went home. When there were no fruits, Heizi went back to Jin's house, but then

It's been a strange few days. It's been raining for a few days. Jin Lao Er didn't go to the ground and Heizi didn't come back. So Jin Lao Er asked, "Why are you missing?"

Jin Laoer also thought so. Why didn't you come back? Where did you go?

I thought he had been caught and eaten, so I hurried to the fields to search, but it turned out that Heizi was guarding the vest and didn't move anywhere. He stayed there for several days without eating or drinking, and his tongue was so dry that it split.

After hunting, Jin Laoer won't worry about it when there are fruits. This is a good dog.

Don't eat what others give you randomly, and scream when someone comes near. It's originally in the back of your yard, and no one here dares to go in even if someone makes a noise in the yard.

Heizi knew no one in the family. He often saw Qingning when he came out from the back door to play. He tore off the wrappers of the candy in his bag and fed it to Heizi. Then he waved his hand and said: "...I've caught the cicada monkey and I'll prepare it for you tomorrow."

Eat..." He seemed to have a good relationship with Heizi.

In July, the peaches are already finished. The pears are still green and have no special taste. They are sour and not very delicious. The apples are not considered ripe, but they taste better when they fall on the ground.

Lin Yutong shined his flashlight on the ground, picked one up from under the tree, wiped the dirt on his clothes, took a bite, handed it to Fourth Master and asked him to taste it, he took a bite, frowned and shook his head, he didn't like the sour taste.

Tastes more than sweet.

He reached out and caught the cicada monkey from the tree and put it in his daughter's small bucket.

Qingning was happy and started to chatter. Some of his words were incoherent, but Lin Yutong generally understood the meaning.

She wanted red nails like that of others, and she also said that there was that flower in their yard, with small red flowers, some pink and some purple, and the most beautiful one was bright red, which could be dyed red.

Nails. That's called henna.

Lin Yutong told her that it was called impatiens.
