Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 145 Chapter 140
July is a prosperous season, and the trees and crops are growing rapidly, covering the whole land in greenery.Butterflies, bees, dragonflies, cicadas, etc. are racing against time to enjoy every day of summer.

The days fly by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has been more than a week of vacation.Zhang's mother repeatedly urged her daughter to go back for the summer vacation, but Zhang Qian felt a little bit reluctant to live in Liujiagou.

She was still planning to wait two days before letting the students go to the mountains to play cicadas, and then buy some children's English books and tapes for the students to follow along.

When she and Teacher Wang made the book list last time, they ignored the matter of buying English books.

In fact, it's not that I completely ignored it, but that I didn't think about it at all.At first, she and Teacher Wang were ambitious and discussed offering English classes to the students.

But the teaching conditions are a headache for them. There is no multimedia in the classroom, and there are no reference lesson plans.The usual courses can only be read by teachers in class.

As for the oral homework assigned, it is even more impossible for parents to supervise them when they return home.The parents of Liujiagou counted on their fingers, and there were no more than five people who could recognize all 26 English letters.

Their original courses are full, and they can only spare time to teach English classes.Although the students are very enthusiastic about learning, but there are only two English classes this week, those children have learned the latter and completely forgot the former.After nearly half a year of learning, there are very few students who recognize all 26 letters. On the contrary, many people get confused with Chinese pinyin.

In the end, Zhang Qian could only give up her plan with a headache, and she should teach Chinese first.

In fact, not only the English class in Liujiagou Elementary School is a decoration, but also the English class in the elementary school in the town is also a matter of handling. The teaching office doesn't pay much attention to this matter.

Now that they sold the cicada shells and got rich, the two discussed to let the students take it step by step. It is always good to learn more knowledge.

For Zhang Qian's move to go into the mountain to pick up cicada shells, Liu Junhao agreed with both hands. He was still planning to check carefully when he went up the mountain to see if there were any bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest.

After he ate this thing once, he never forgot it.When I didn't pay attention to it before, I thought that the little snake flower could be seen every year, but when I really looked for it, I found such a place.

Liujiagou has now reached the busiest season of the year, and there is an endless stream of people who come here every day for summer vacation.The supply of watermelons in Liu Junhao's courtyard was in short supply.

The lotus pond in front of his door has also become an eye-catching place. At first, there was only a bamboo basket of lotus roots, but now it has become a pond full of fragrance.

At Zhang Qian's request, Liu Junhao spent half a day making a small ferry.

It is said to be a ferry, but in fact it is to lay a few wooden stakes in the water, and then lay a few planks on the wooden stakes.He didn't have much thought when he did it at the beginning, but now it looks very sentimental. Almost everyone who comes to Liu Junhao's compound has to take two pictures while standing on the ferry.

However, Liu Junhao was very troubled that the lotus leaves and lotus flowers in the pool were often dragged off by the group of brats in the village without paying attention.

Although lotus roots were planted in the ponds of other people's houses, these guys only focused on the one in front of his door.No wonder the children's hands were itchy. His lotus root could be irrigated by spring water from time to time, and its growth was astonishing. Needless to say, the lotus flowers were all the size of a bowl when they bloomed, and one flower was almost as big as two in other ponds.

The lotus leaves are also surprisingly large, many of which are the size of a pot lid. Even the villagers think it is a rarity when they see it when they pass by.

The lotus leaf is bitter in taste and mild in nature, and its air is delicate and fragrant. Making tea with fresh lotus leaves has a good effect of clearing away heat and dampness.

Liu Junhao responded to the requests of the adults. Anyway, there are a lot of lotus leaves in his pool, and picking a few leaves will not affect the lotus pond.

In fact, he and Professor Zhao sometimes pick a piece of rice when they make rice.After boiling lotus leaves, rice and red dates, it is not only mixed with the sweetness of red dates, but also soaked in the fragrance of lotus leaves. It tastes absolutely delicious.

It took a long time for Liu Junhao to discover the lotus in the stone lock last time, but the one in this pool is different.Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong stared at the pool almost every day, and when they found a lotus pod growing, they ran back and took the bamboo pole hook to hook it.

This made Zhang Qian quite depressed. She wanted to eat lotus pods every time she came here, but she was always one step behind these two little guys.As an adult, I was too embarrassed to compete with them, so I muttered in a low voice to remind Liu Junhao to be careful, and to be the first to strike when the lotus pods grow.

Liu Junhao laughed naturally when he heard it, and when she came over the next day, he had already delivered a bowl-sized lotus pod to her.

This lotus pod is naturally picked from the stone lock, it is a bit bigger than the outside ones, and the taste is much better.

The afternoon sun was hot, and Zhang Qian was still a little puzzled after eating lotus pods, so she stood at the ferry with a bamboo pole and hook to search for another one.

I was looking for it here, but I saw Maozi and Xiaowazi running over from the river beach with their bare backs at high speed. Looking at their wet hair, I knew that these guys must have gone down to the river to take a bath while the adults were not paying attention.

"Uncle Xiaohao, Uncle Xiaohao, hurry up and get the net bag, the fish are already in the big river!" The boy was still eight feet away, and the boy was already shouting at the top of his voice.

"Cross the fish!!" Liu Junhao immediately threw the bamboo pole away and ran back to the house to get the net bag.

"What kind of fish?" Zhang Qian also hurriedly followed back.

"You'll know when you get to the river, quickly grab two snakeskin bags." He quickly rolled up the net bag and the net, carried them up and rushed out the door, "Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao!!"

As soon as he reached the door, he also shouted at the top of his voice.

"What's wrong, what's the matter, what's the matter!!" Hearing his yelling anxiously, Professor Zhao thought something serious had happened, and hurriedly stood up from the edge of the bamboo forest, he still held the cards in his hand.

"Stop playing cards, come with me quickly. There are fish in the big river, let's go catch them."

"What kind of fish are you fishing for?" Professor Zhao didn't know why.

"I'll explain it on the way, the scene is absolutely spectacular."

"I'm going too, I'm going too..." As soon as they heard that it was a spectacle, the two little guys immediately started to quarrel.

So Teacher Wang also followed. Her main task is to watch the children and prevent them from playing in the river.

When they came to the river beach, everyone except Liu Junhao was stunned by the sight in front of them.

I saw that the wide river surface was densely covered with fish, swarming over the sky and covering the sky, almost filling the entire river channel, and the river bank was filled with a strong fishy smell everywhere.The fish passed neatly, and most of them were floating tips about ten centimeters long.

At this moment, all kinds of waterfowl lined up on the river, covering the sky and the sun, rushing down from time to time to catch a fish.

"The crucian carp that crosses the river, no wonder people have said that the crucian carp is the river. I am afraid that the scenery in front of you is the earliest explanation of this word." Professor Zhao couldn't help admiring a few times standing on the bank.

"Don't sigh, you catch with a net, I'll cast a net." Liu Junhao said and ran towards the river.

The net is not as light as the wet water, so the net sinks slowly when casting fish, and it is easy for the fish to run away.However, Liu Junhao couldn't take care of it any longer, he would stop the game as soon as he said it, and if he hesitated for a while, the opportunity would be completely lost.

"Wow" he threw the net casually, and an irregular oval shape appeared on the river surface.As a rural person born and raised in Liujiagou, Liu Junhao's net-casting skills are also top-notch.

The fish on this river are crowded together, and when they are pulled up in one net, there are at least seven or eight catties of fish.

He grabbed the net curtain and turned it over on the ground, then continued to cast the net, while Zhang Qian and Teacher Wang led the two little guys to pick up fish on the ground.

Two nets in a row, a lot has fallen on the ground.Zhang Qian and the others were too busy to come here.

Seeing that they were still choosing slowly one by one, Liu Junhao shouted: "Don't worry about the branches, put them in snakeskin bags first."

"Xiaohao, Xiaohao, you came early." At this time, Liu Laosan also rushed over with the sticky net on his shoulders. After saying hello, he hurriedly lowered the net into the river.

Soon more and more people came, Er Mazi came, Liu Junqi came, and even Liu Wuye rushed over with a bamboo basket.All of a sudden, the river beach was buzzing with people, and people from every family showed off their fishing skills.

Those who came to travel were still standing on the shore with their cameras to take pictures at the beginning, and they were infected by the atmosphere after a while, and they rolled up their trousers to join the fishing trend.

At this time, catching fish no longer requires skill, and you can catch seven or eight fish by just standing by the river with your hands.

Liu Junhao came early, and he and Professor Zhao quickly got a snakeskin bag fish.

The fish came and went quickly, and just half an hour later, the floating tip on the river surface had begun to decrease, and it disappeared completely after a long time.

The big river returned to calm again, and those water birds that were full were swimming happily on the surface of the water at the moment.

Only then did Liu Junhao have time to rest. He turned his head and looked around, only to see that almost all the villagers had come, and everyone was sweating profusely.

"When can we finish eating so many fish?" Teacher Wang looked at the fish in nearly two snakeskin bags and said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid, wait for it to dry and pickle and eat it. The floating shoot tastes very good after being pickled." Liu Junhao is very experienced in this.

"It's broken, I forgot to take a picture with my phone just now, if this is posted on the Internet, it will definitely cause a sensation." Only then did Zhang Qian remember the matter of taking pictures.

"Don't worry, someone must have taken it," Liu Junhao pointed to that side, and saw Dr. Wang walking along the river with a camera.

He and Professor Zhao each carried two cloth sacks.

"What's going on with the fish?" On the way back, Zhang Qian still hadn't recovered from the shock.

"I don't know much about this. I just know that every summer, fish are usually crossed in big rivers." It is said that Liu Junhao has experienced fish in big rivers more than a dozen times at his age, but he really doesn't know the reason.

"It should be the cause of the flash floods. When the water swells, these fish will go upstream along the river, and when they encounter obstacles and can no longer go upstream, they will turn around and return. At this time, many fish are crowded together and swim back. Fish." Teacher Wang said.
