Chapter 69

In summer, the cicadas sing loudly and endlessly, and there are densely packed cicadas in the shade of the trees.

There is fire in July, and it is not young in August, the number of gold is in three volts, and the sparks are flowing westward.

The sun is shining like a fire, and the temperature is high, humid and sultry.

Xiao Heizi was hiding in the room, spreading his limbs and sticking out his tongue.

An Ran opened her floral dress and exposed her belly.

At this time last year, their family was still repairing the house that was washed away by the flood, and she couldn't remember exactly what happened.

At that time, she either ate or slept every day, or worked on the farm, and she still didn't feel the heat of Fushu.

I want to eat ice cream, blow the air conditioner, and eat a big watermelon.

"Shame or not, quickly cover it up." Li Zhenxiang covered her daughter with the clothes.

"Eat ice powder." An Ran tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes.

She can make ice powder powder, just wash it with boiling water, and eat it when it cools down.

Li Zhenxiang knew that her daughter was going to take something again, as long as it wasn't weird.

The powder of these ice powders comes from a kind of herb she grows.

She read the book and found that it is called Bingfen Tree, but it is a herbaceous plant that can grow more than one meter high. The fruit it bears is like a small lantern, and the seeds inside can be taken out and processed to make Bingfen to eat.

It can only be planted in medicinal fields and is mainly used as medicine. It has purple-black stems and small pink-purple flowers. It can be used as medicine all over the body.

An Ran stepped on the small stool, watching her mother make delicious ice powder.

This is to boil brown sugar water, put brown sugar in boiling water, cook a caramel aroma, then put brown sugar in a bowl to cool.

Ice powder is very simple. Just boil the water and add a little more water if it becomes tender.

Hold the chopsticks while pouring the powder while stirring, and put it in cold water to cool down quickly.

"You little greedy cat, you can be found everywhere you cook and eat."

Li Zhenxiang scratched Tie Dan's belly with her feet, and Tie Dan made a trip on the ground, opening her soft belly to dissipate heat.

An Ran casually threw a big watermelon into the water tank. After a bang, the watermelon floated out from the bottom of the tank and swirled in the water. A big watermelon is indispensable in summer.

Liu Chunlan fetched water and added water to the rabbits and chickens, otherwise they would die of thirst and heat.

"I'll take Dahei to take a bath in the water."

Wang Yongan felt sorry for Dahei. Dahei's skin was thick and could not dissipate heat, so he had to roll in the water.

"Hurry up and come back, it's very hot outside."

For some reason, this summer is so hot that it makes people sweat profusely just sitting there, so they have to drink water.

After a while, An Ran went to touch the water tank again to see if the ice powder had formed.

Father Wang was lying on the chair and dozing off, covering his stomach with a cattail leaf fan and snoring.

"Master Meng, drink some water and take a rest."

Meng Ruanqin took the children to study in the house.

Fortunately, the Wang family's study room is made of green bricks and large tiles. There are a few tall trees growing beside the study room, which just shade this room, and it is not as hot as other rooms.

"Thank you, auntie." Meng Ruanqin felt that he was lucky, and the Wang family respected him very much, and would not treat him lightly just because he was young or spent money.

"Dad, Aunt Hua has developed fever, and now Uncle Lu is carrying her home."

Father Wang woke up from a good doze, and went out with the cattail leaf fan in his hand.

"I heard from Uncle Lu that Aunt Hua insisted on going out to pick up the cicada shells."

Father Wang blamed and said: "Why don't you stay at home during the dog days, what are you doing to pick up that thing, and you will lose your life if you are not careful."

"How are people?"

Dad Wang wiped the beads of sweat and saw someone lying in the room, his face turned pale and he was sweating profusely.

Dancing a fan in his hand, he asked how long he had fainted and if he had drunk water.

Grandpa Lu was very anxious, nodded his head, and took a nap for a while, but he couldn't see where anyone was going.

When I went out to look around, I found a person under a tree, holding a long stick in his hand, and clutching a bag, which was crowded with cicada skin shells.

He thought he had been bitten by a snake, so he lifted up his trousers and hurriedly checked, but luckily it was just a fever and passed out.

He knew that the old woman had heard the news in the town and wanted to pick up this thing to exchange for money.

"Those few pennies are life-saving, not to mention the hot weather, there are many snakes and insects in the grass, one bite will kill you on the spot."

Grandma Hua regained her strength, her whole body was limp and her head was dizzy.

Father Wang was muttering, how could such an old man still be so confused.

Grandma Hua drank the water and said she wouldn't dare next time.

She recently made two sets of clothes for her son, bought some ointment for mosquito bites, and heard from the pharmacy that she would collect cicada skin shells for three hundred yuan a catty.

This cicada skin shell can be seen everywhere in the village, stuck in the grass and leaves of the forest, as long as you pick it up, it will be money, so it makes people not tempted.

An Ran stood at the door, the ground outside was scalding her feet, if she dared to go out, she would definitely become teppanyaki.

Following the shadow under the eaves, An Ran slipped to Meng Fuzi's classroom.

Isn’t Master Meng hot?She wore short sleeves, and Master Meng also wore a long gown.

"Fu Bao is here, sit next to my brother."

An Ran skillfully climbed onto the bench, while the brothers were practicing calligraphy.

The straw paper used for calligraphy practice is very cheap yellow paper, which exudes a strong smell.

Wenhua is fat and very afraid of heat, his clothes are already wet and his palms are sweaty just by practicing calligraphy.

An Ran flicked her little feet, flipping through the comic book.

Master Meng said, a calm mind will naturally cool down, so everyone should not be impetuous.

A calm mind is pure, a pure mind is peaceful, and a peaceful mind is clear.

An Ran raised her eyes and took a sneak peek at Meng Fuzi, this is wrong.

This is idealism. When you calm down, you can only say that you are not impetuous, but it will definitely not be cool. You have to eat watermelon and ice powder.

Looking at the little baby bouncing around and slipping out, Meng Ruanqin shook his head, this little baby almost took the hearts of her brothers flying out.

"Master, I'm going to pee."

Wen Qing raised his hand. His buttocks were numb and he wanted to go out for a walk.

"No, you can't go out until you practice these words."

After getting along for so long, he can now see through their lies at a glance.

I just want to go out and play, and I have a lot of fun.

Wen Qing sighed and lay down on the table, the cicadas outside made him upset.

By the way, when get out of class is over, I’ll ask dad to make a sticky stick. I won’t see you all stuck to it, and give Tiedan and Wan Guan a toothpaste.

"If you are absent-minded, your thoughts will go wherever you go."

A ruler was slapped on Wen Qing's buttocks, and there was a cry of ah-woo, which made the others roar with laughter.

Wen Qing touched her hot and sore buttocks, grabbed her pen, and didn't dare to lose her mind.

"Coal, come here, I'll take you to eat melon."

Little Heizi jumped up from the ground, his ears flashed, and followed behind his little master.

Fang Cuiying took out the big watermelon from the tank, this striped green melon was not edible.

An Ran patted the melon's buttocks with her small hand, there was a thumping sound inside, it must be ripe.

Because the melon was too big, Fang Cuiying cut a cut, and broke the rest with two hands.

It cracked open with a click, and the red flesh and juice flowed out, and a sweet smell of watermelon permeated the whole kitchen.

An Ran and Xiao Heizi looked forward to it, waiting for the first piece.

Fang Cuiying cut out a small piece with a knife. The melon was not only sweet but also rich in water.

"Fubao, what kind of melon is this? It's delicious!"

"Watermelon~"

An Ran got a big one, took a bite out of it with her hands, removed the seeds inside, and put it in the small black seed bowl.

Xiao Heizi is not picky about food, he loves cucumbers and this sweet watermelon.
