After finishing dinner and chatting for a while, a group of young people divided into three groups to pass the afternoon.

Playing ball, surfing the internet, and singing.

Nange takes good care of her former and future desk mates. She said, "Are you going to play ball with me or go online with me? I don't think you really like singing either. You have a thin skin

Never mind, I don't like surfing the internet either

Who is it

Nan still remembers the little ugly woman who was banned due to a gunshot wound, as well as the excited expression on Zhou Li's face at that time.

Zhou Li thought for a moment and said, "I have to go to a little girl's place this afternoon to help her with her tutoring. It was agreed a long time ago

Really

Hmm

Okay, then you can go

And you

I... "Nan thought for a moment. Just now, her mother pulled her over after drinking and said to her that she was already a big girl. Nan deeply understood the meaning behind her mother's words, obviously telling her not to be addicted to games anymore and spend a day hanging out in internet cafes——

Then I'll go sing

Okay, goodbye Nan Ge

Why don't you take a taxi? It's so sunny

Mmm, good

Leaving the community, Zhou Li did not take a taxi either.

The sun has already tilted towards the west, making the road seem to be reflecting. There is a narrow shadow at the entrance of the shop on the left, and Zhou Li slowly walks along this shadow, occasionally passing by their shop entrance.

Huai Xu asked beside him, "Is it really that delicious

Really

"That pickled Chinese cabbage fish really has no bones?"

Many fish do not have spines, or have few spines. Even if you slice the fish meat, you can make sure there are no spines in the meat

"How delicious is Mapo tofu?"

This dish tests Master Yicai's skills the most

I really want to eat! "Huai Xu said." Why don't you go get Nan Ge? She looks good and deserves you. After your relationship improves, I will attend as your friend. Hehehe

You're laughing so foolishly

Mmm

Returning home, Zhou Li checked his phone and found that Wu Yuanliang had just updated a non mainstream space to talk about.

The content is very artistic.

Finally, there was a subtle wish for Nan Ge to live well.

Tsk!

Zhou Li looked a little sad.

He had never experienced such feelings before, but sometimes he also felt that it was quite beautiful, a way to solve youth.

There are still a few red stained messages on WeChat——

Red dye: Sister feels so lonely being alone.

Hongran: When will you come to play with your sister.

Hongran: Would you like to come to Chunming early and familiarize yourself with the campus environment? Sister lives very close to your school!

Hong Ran: How about if you come early and my sister takes you to the Hundred Insects Banquet? Very expensive.

Red dye: Where is roasted peacock? Illegal.

Red dye: The opportunity is rare, but my heart is not moved.

These messages were not sent together, but intermittently, with intervals ranging from a few minutes to half an hour between each one. Zhou Li could probably tell from them how boring Hong Ran was.

So he replied, 'No!'!

……

In the blink of an eye, August has arrived.

The lunar calendar is in July.

In July, there is a wildfire and the weather turns cool.

Liqiu has passed.

Qixi also passed.

If Zhou Li didn't look at the calendar, he wouldn't even know about these solar terms and holidays. On the contrary, the weather is getting colder and colder. He feels that this summer seems particularly unremarkable, coming late and going early.

August 15th, also known as July 15th.

Zhou Li looked at the calendar hanging on the wall and said, "The dates of August in the Gregorian calendar and July in the lunar calendar are synchronized this year

Huaixu sat diagonally on the bay window and asked strangely, 'What's the point of this?'

It's meaningless

Zhou Li just found it interesting.

The school will open in half a month, and he needs to make some preparations in advance. Before that, he needs to go to the Yin Yang Temple again.

At least we have to separate ourselves from Zheng Zhilan.

So he told Aunt Jiang about this in advance, and the tutor also said hello. He got up early in the morning.

First, pack the four books given to him by Zheng Zhilan into his backpack. He worked overtime a few days ago to finish reading the last one about history, which was a bit sloppy and couldn't connect the life of the Chunshan Taoist well. Zhou Li felt a bit regretful.

Immediately call Zheng Zhilan and ask her what she is missing, and he will bring it to her.

Go out and browse the supermarket.

Zheng Zhilan didn't be polite to him and asked for the most hot pot seasoning, followed by kitchen seasoning.

Fuel consumption, chicken essence, yellow wine, Douban sauce, and fermented black beans.

Finally, I would like some black tea to make tea eggs.

After a round of purchasing, Zhou Li packed his bag in a big way and got on the bus to Mingjiu Mountain.

The time to stop the flood is 4 pm in the afternoon.

When Zhou Li saw the old temple master and the old demon, he came forward and said, "Temple master, are you cooking porridge again?"

Hey? The little layman is here again

Yes, I'm about to start school and I'll be in Caiyun soon. I want to say hello to her, "Zhou Li said as he took off his backpack

What's wrong with this? I don't watch it anyway. If someone is willing to watch, it's a good thing

The old master stood up straight, reached out his dark hand, took the four books and said, "I'll take them and put them away first

Zhou Li nodded.

The old master turned around and left, while Huai Xu curiously squatted down and lifted the lid of the clay pot, saying, "Oh, there are even red beans and peanuts added

The old demon sat on the top of the temple and said, "He is old and has a bad stomach. It is hot in summer. He usually cooks a pot of porridge in the evening. He can't finish the rest of the meal until he eats it in the morning, so he is too lazy to cook it again."

What about noon? "Huai Xu asked again.

Just have some cake and drink some hot water for lunch

Can this ensure nutrition? "Zhou Li interjected.

It's okay, he doesn't work much either. He just needs to doze off if he doesn't have enough nutrition, "said the old demon

The current conditions... "Zhou Li looked at the dilapidated appearance of the Taoist temple," Is it still not possible

Okay now, the pilgrims are generous, but he can't use up all this money. He's going to take it to study for children far away

That's right

He's not pitiful, "the old demon smiled at Zhou Li

What happened to your situation? "Zhou Li asked again.

Which one

What is the harvest in the field

Oh, I really can't do that, "the old demon nodded." I just went to the creek and caught some fish to put in the field. When they hit the millet, there will be fish in the field. I should be quite happy, right

This is also a solution

At this moment, the old demon pointed behind him, and Zhou Li turned around. After two breaths, he saw the figure of the old abbot.

The old abbot held a glass of water and a pack of cakes, smiling and saying to him, "It's been cooler these days, but climbing the mountain is still hot. Let's eat, drink, and rest for a while. There's nothing to eat

The voice of the old demon sounded behind him: 'This is it, this is it, it's delicious!'

Zhou Li thanked and took the cake.

This cake looks like something he remembered selling at a rural convenience store more than a decade ago, and he hasn't seen it since he grew up - the packaging is a completely transparent thin plastic coat with no words on it. There is a blank sheet of paper inside, with information such as manufacturer, shelf life, and product materials written in a table, without even a name or logo.

The cake is not big, it is stacked in a stack in the packaging.

It seems like there are ten.

Zhou Li opened it and took one, biting halfway in one bite. There was sweet filling inside, and the taste was unexpectedly good.

The old temple master put another pine cone into the stove, and then left to joke with Zhou: "You young man, you didn't come to Qixi a few days ago, but today we came out to visit friends on the Mid Yuan Festival, hahaha......"

Zhou Li took advantage of his inattention and handed a cake to Huai Xu.

Then watch the old abbot light the fire.

They only plant pine trees in a few parks, which they usually don't have, so no one uses pine cones to burn them. Zhou Li thinks this thing should be compared to corn cobs in the mountains.

It seems easy to burn.

Zhou Li found it novel.

After leaving Zhihong Temple, Huai Xu continued to laugh at him, saying that he was a city dweller who could enjoy watching people burn fires with great interest.

Zhou Li doesn't argue with him either.

The sun on the horizon is almost touching the mountain, and Zheng Zhilan's family usually eats early for dinner. He needs to walk faster.
