Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 88 The Rural April Fool's Day
Today is Saturday, so Maozi naturally came to report early. Liu Junhao asked him to play computer games in the house while he pulled out the weeds in the vegetable field.

In just a few days, the grass in the field has grown a thick layer.Especially weeds, one stalk is a lot.People pull out radishes to bring out mud, but his field is good, uprooting grass can bring out half a catty of soil.

It seems that the use of this spring water also has two sides. While nourishing the vegetables, it also gives a lot of nutrients to the weeds.But this grass is not completely useless, it is just right to throw it into the rabbit cage and feed it to the few wild rabbits.

"Uncle Xiaohao" he was busy here, but the hairy boy came into the backyard.

"What's the matter, why don't you go online?" Liu Junhao raised his head and asked.

"Do you know what holiday is today?"

"What holiday? Tomb-sweeping day will be in a few days, what's the matter?" The child's eyeballs kept rolling around, and he didn't know what the hell he was thinking.

"Well, it's Ching Ming Festival, I thought you didn't know about it." The hairy kid said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm going back to surf the Internet."

He just took two steps, then suddenly turned around and said: "I almost forgot, when I came over, Teacher Zhang said that she had something to see you, and she was waiting on the embankment."

"Zhang Qian came to me for something, so she wouldn't come here directly, you brat, you're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"Dizzy, how dare I shake you, if you don't believe me, go and have a look, Teacher Zhang must be waiting for you there." Mao Zi said with his small face up.

"Then why didn't you say it earlier." Liu Junhao hurriedly washed his hands in the ditch, and rushed to the river beach. He didn't know what Zhang Qian wanted from him, so he insisted on going to the river beach to talk.

Could it be a date?Liu Junhao was overjoyed when he thought of this.Since Zhang Qian helped wash his clothes last time, the relationship between the two has become much closer.He is naturally a little excited about this change, but he is also a little afraid that he is being self-indulgent.

Now Zhang Qian is meeting... It seems that it is better for a man to take the initiative in this kind of thing.

Liu Junhao's heart was in a mess along the way, and he couldn't help worrying about gains and losses.But when I got to the embankment, I found that it was empty and there was no one there.

That brat could really be fooling himself, right? Although Liu Junhao felt that there was a great possibility, he didn't dare to walk away immediately, and secretly hoped that Zhang Qian would really come over later.

After waiting for half an hour in a row, just when he thought there was no hope, he saw a person approaching from a distance on the road, whoever it was.

It turned out that she really made an appointment with him, and Liu Junhao suddenly became a little excited.

"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry, why do you have to go ahead and say no, and insist on Liu Changlin passing on the message?" Zhang Qian asked with a straight face from a distance before she approached.

"Didn't you ask Mao Kid to invite me here?" Liu Junhao was confused, Zhang Qian didn't look like she was telling a lie.

"It was Liu Changlin who asked you to wait here for me?" Zhang Qian was also taken aback, and then smiled, "This kid really deserves a beating. He will be fined to copy the text ten times on Monday."

"What's going on?" He still didn't understand.

"What's the date today?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile.

"April [-]st, what's wrong?" Liu Junhao was puzzled.

"Today is April Fool's Day, both of us were fooled by Liu Changlin." Zhang Qian remembered this festival clearly. When she was in school, she had to tense up all day every day, guarding against being tricked.

"April Fool's Day, this brat... I won't let him surf the Internet next time, I've learned a lot about it recently." It's not that Liu Junhao doesn't know about April Fool's Day, but there are so many festivals in rural China, who would be idle? It's okay to find a foreigner's holiday.Although he listened to people talking about April Fool's Day online these days, he always felt far away from himself.

But I didn't expect that this morning, Maozi found out about April Fool's Day on the Internet and immediately took it out to learn and sell.

He lied to Liu Junhao, and dared to lie to his teacher as well.

"Oh, it's okay, then I'll go back first." Zhang Qian said and turned around to leave.

"Don't, just play for a while when you come here, anyway, you don't have to go to class on Sunday." Liu Junhao called out hastily, but he felt a little embarrassed when he finished speaking.

Zhang Qian also stopped there, looking down at the grass, without saying that she wanted to leave, or that she would not leave.

Both of them felt that such an atmosphere was awkward, but they couldn't find the right words for a while, Liu Junhao secretly annoyed himself for being stupid.He usually speaks smoothly, but when it comes to critical moments, he loses the chain.

"Are you talking? You asked me to stay and didn't say anything." Zhang Qian looked at him standing there dumbfounded like a wooden stake, and was suddenly a little annoyed.

"Well, well," Liu Junhao hurriedly replied twice, "Let's go to the river beach for a walk, it's windy on this embankment." After finishing speaking, he almost slapped himself twice, what did he say, where did he come from? wind.

Who knew that Zhang Qian didn't seem to notice the problem, she nodded and said, "Okay."

On the river beach in April, there is a special scene. The endless reeds have turned into a blue-yellow, and the new reed buds are full of energy and grow upwards.

Along the way, many birds were disturbed. Those wild ducks, green piles, quails, sparrows, etc. kept making all kinds of strange calls, flapped their wings and flew over their heads, and then landed in the distance in the grass.

Apart from being a little awkward at the beginning, the two of them are now slowly relaxing. After all, they were acquaintances before, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

"Sit here and rest for a while." Zhang Qian pointed to the soft grass by the river and said.

"Wait, it's humid here, I'll get you a straw mat." Liu Junhao said as he searched for a few handfuls of fine hair grass and began to quickly weave it in his hands.

This fine hair grass is a common weed by the river. It grows very thin, almost like a hair, but it is very strong.After drying, they are very flexible and pull two or three together. They used to be used to weave ropes and straw sandals in the countryside, but few people have cut these things in recent years.

Liu Junhao found all the dead grass from last year. After a winter of wind and sun, it had already been dried, and it was very smooth to the touch, and it was easy to weave.

"Your hands are very skillful, teach me too, I want to weave too." I didn't expect Zhang Qian to be interested in seeing him weave such a beautiful straw mat.

Liu Junhao had no choice but to slow down and teach Zhang Qian to weave straw mats step by step.

"It's so warm, I'll let you sit on this ugly one." Zhang Qian smiled and handed the crumpled meadow that she wove to Liu Junhao's hand.

The two of them were sitting by the river, looking at the gentle river and chatting, talking about trivial things, but there was an indescribable feeling brewing in each other's hearts.

When Liu Junhao came home, he wanted her to sit in his yard.But Zhang Qian heard the noise of children playing in the courtyard, so she couldn't speak, so she left directly.

"Uncle Xiaohao is back!" Some brat suddenly yelled, and the fur kid got up from the chair and avoided him from a distance.

"Why are you hiding from me? Come and sit down." Liu Junhao looked a little funny.

"I don't, you will definitely beat me when I go there." The hairy boy shook his head and said that he would not approach Liu Junhao for anything.

"You brat, not only will uncle not beat you, but I will thank you later. When I leave, I will get you two duck eggs and bring them home, and let your mother cook them for you." To be honest, Liu Junhao felt that he was really good. I really want to thank this brat who likes to make trouble, if it weren't for him, the two of them wouldn't have progressed so quickly.

"Didn't you lie to me, today is April Fool's Day." Seeing Liu Junhao come out of the house with seven or eight green skin duck eggs, he felt that what he said was not fake, so he cautiously approached a few steps.

"I'll keep my word, let's do it." Liu Junhao was angry and funny, pointing to the brats watching the fun in the yard and said: "You also have a share, one for each person, and two for the furry kids"

"Thank you, Uncle Xiaohao!" The group of children immediately started looting.

And the first thing Zhang Qian did when she came home was to hide in the house and secretly call her best friend Su Nana, briefly described what happened today, and then asked her what to do?
Su Nana didn't believe it at first, saying that today is April Fool's Day, so she would never believe her nonsense.

She didn't believe it until Zhang Qian explained it again and again, and then she sighed in admiration: "Okay, fourth child, I thought you two had an affair at the beginning, but you kept denying it. Now the fox's tail is finally showing, right?"

"What do you think of him?" Zhang Qian hastily interrupted her, fearing that Su Nana's gossip would be pointless.

"I'm not familiar with him. I know that his food is delicious. You don't like him for this reason. Tell me, what exactly do you like about him?"

"What are you talking about, how come..." Although Zhang Qian denied it, she still didn't understand what she liked about him. Could it be because someone often matched the two of them, or because he sacrificed himself to stop him when he was on the street? Scared cow?
"I don't know what I like about him" she could only say into the microphone in the end.

"Dizzy, you're hopeless." Su Nana was also quite depressed when she heard it over there. She was just joking about Zhang Qian and Liu Junhao at the beginning, but she didn't expect that it would actually happen.

She became a matchmaker for no reason, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Zhang Qian was lacking in consideration, so she said solemnly: "I'm talking about the fourth, you have to think through this matter thoroughly."

"Ok, I know"

Zhang Qian hung up the phone and didn't even feel like eating.

To be honest, which girl does not have a romantic dream in her heart, but she also knows that reality is reality, and many things are not transferred by people's will.

But she still appreciates a passage she read in a book before, "I read a book, and my wife is by my side, and she can do whatever she wants... I hope that love is a person's business, it's my business, from the other person's business." It seems that it is also her business, but it is not necessarily our business. I mean less emotional entanglement. "

She has always thought that she is a simple person, perhaps this kind of plain love is more suitable for her.

I wish everyone a happy November, and continue to ask for monthly tickets.
