Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 181 Rowing

 At the end of the semester, Li Tianyu jumped to the 13th place in the class.

Ni Liang praised him greatly in the class, making Li Tianyu's face turn red with excitement.

Ni Liang thought to himself that he originally thought that this transfer student who came in through connections was not very good, but he has performed quite well this semester, and his grades have improved so much. He is a promising talent!

The biggest change for Li Tianyu is the gradual change in his hobbies and interests. Not only has his learning attitude gradually improved, but he has also gradually started to fall in love with playing basketball after class.

Now a group of boys in the class, led by Li Tianyu and Yang Fan, often go to the playground to play basketball on Sundays.

The identification of boys is relatively late. Who knows what Li Tianyu will look like if this change continues?

Zhou Xiaoyun didn't know that just because she ignored Li Tianyu didn't mean that she was indifferent to him. In fact, it was just the opposite. She could see every change in Li Tianyu.

 A person's change is always subtle, not something that happens in a day or two. Let’s just take a bystander attitude!

 At the very least, it’s a good thing that Li Tianyu is not as lazy as before.

 As for the rest, let’s look at it later!

Zhou Xiaoyun was not surprised that Li Tianyu had made rapid progress in his studies and was ranked above the average in the class. He could tell at a glance whether a person was serious or not. If you really study hard, you will never fail to learn well. Li Tianyu is not stupid, but rather smart. If you work hard and study like this, it is not impossible to get into the top of the class one day.

Zhou Xiaoyun defeated Yang Fan by three points this time and ranked second in the class, and Lin Bo ranked third again.

Let’s compete again next semester. We’re going to spend the summer vacation!

Li Tianyu and Yang Fan made an appointment to play basketball. Several boys who lived not far away said they wanted to play together. Later, boys from other classes also came to play.

Li Tianyu had a very lively and happy summer vacation.

Zhou Xiaoyun also has many things to do while staying at home. He goes to the market to sell pork for his mother, watches Erya do his summer homework, and urges Dabao to read. The serious Xiaobao does not need to worry about this, which saves Zhou Xiaoyun a lot of worry.

 The next step is to practice calligraphy with Dabao, take over the accordion that I usually don’t have time to play, and practice again, wash clothes, help with cooking, there are many things to do, and I can be busy all day long.

 Then another thing is hanging out with good friends from the past to keep in touch with each other, which is also a major event this summer.

 Wang Jingjing usually has fewer opportunities to interact with Zhou Xiaoyun, and even less opportunities to meet Wu Mei. The three good friends were so happy that they could talk endlessly when they got together.

 It was a pleasure to chat with each other about life in the new school for the past year.

Zhou Xiaoyun then realized that Wang Jingjing had also become a class cadre in the class. The fierce Wang Jingjing was very good at managing the class and was loved by the teacher!

Wu Mei’s academic performance has also improved a lot. She ambitiously said that she would be admitted to a high school in the city in two years and meet her good friends.

 The three of them stayed in Zhou Xiaoyun's room for the whole afternoon without coming out, making people wonder why girls always have so much to talk about when they are together.

Wu Mei refused to leave that night and begged her second uncle Zhou Guoqiang to call her mother Zhou Fang for her, but she ran away quickly. She probably didn't even touch the phone because she was afraid that Zhou Fang would nag her.

 Zhou Guoqiang called and said that Zhou Fang could not disagree, and Wu Mei jumped up happily. He kept shouting that he would go home after a few days.

Are you still worried about having no place to sleep?

Put a large mat on the roof of Zhou Xiaoxia's bungalow. Several girls sleep side by side on it, which is cool and comfortable.

Zhou Xiaoxia expressed a warm welcome to Wu Mei and Zhou Xiaoyun's arrival. Of course Erya would not fail to follow them. The four sisters slept on a big mat and it was very lively.

Zhou Zhihai felt extremely itchy, and not to be outdone, he took out a mat and spread it on the roof of the bungalow. He called Dabao and Xiaobao to come over and the three boys also slept together.

 Every night after having dinner early and taking a shower, several children would run to the roof of the bungalow one after another. Not to mention how happy it is to chat and talk.

 Haha, what a wonderful summer!

 Wu Lei also came within two days, and the brothers rushed to the pond to swim. Dabao was the eldest among them and was naturally the eldest. He and his three younger brothers spent all day playing in the pond without being seen.

Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't even pull Dabao back, thinking that Dabao would be in the third grade of junior high school when school started again and he had to work hard, so let him have fun in the summer.

New pigs kept coming in from the pig pen at home, and Zhao Yuzhen began to buy bran and rice bran to feed the pigs. However, if the vegetables and grass are not included in the pig food, the nutrition will not be able to keep up.

Dabao volunteered to go to the pond to catch some water lilies and bring them back to feed the pigs.

This kind of small round-leaf aquatic plants are everywhere in the pond, usually in large clumps. It doesn’t take much effort, just carry a few baskets to the edge of the pond to fish them out.

 Zhou Xiaoyun and several other girls were holding baskets by the pond. Dabao, Zhou Zhihai and Wu Lei stripped down to their underwear and jumped into the pond, constantly picking up water lilies and putting them into the baskets.

 When the basket is full, Xiaobao is responsible for carrying the basket home and emptying it in the yard before bringing in the empty basket.

Zhou Xiaoyun, Zhou Xiaoxia, Wu Mei and Erya basically just have to watch the fun.

Zhao Yuzhen mixed the water lotus with some bran, mixed it with some cold water, and fed it to the pigs. The fat pigs put their heads together and ate very happily. I praised several children greatly.

After almost all the water lilies on the edge of the pond were harvested, Dabao decided to go to the center of the pond. However, the water in the center of the pond was relatively deep and he usually did not dare to swim there. What should we do now?

Of course there is a way. Qian San's family at the head of the village has a small wooden boat, which is usually tied to the edge of the pond. Go and tell someone, get the oar, and then you can row to the center of the pond.

However, it is a pity that the boat is not very big and can only seat three or four people at most.

Who doesn’t want to go up there and have a round?

Dabao showed off his boss’s momentum and took the lead in boarding the boat.

Zhou Xiaoxia, Zhou Zhihai and Wu Lei acted quickly and ran to the boat. Zhou Xiaoyun was left waiting beside Wu Mei and Xiaobao Erya.

Dabao boasted that there would be no problem rowing in Haikou, but he and Wu Lei rowed the boat in circles and refused to move forward.

Dabao is in a hurry now. If he can't row the boat after he's blown away, won't he be laughed at by his brothers and sisters?

Unexpectedly, the more anxious the boat became, the more reluctant it was to move, and it circled around the edge of the pond many times.

Zhou Xiaoyun and others were laughing so hard.

　　The results would still be similar if Zhou Zhihai and Zhou Xiaoxia were replaced.

They had no choice but to look downcast and watch Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao, Wu Mei and Erya get on the boat.

Oddly enough, the boat that had refused to move just now actually moved forward slowly with the cooperation of Zhou Xiaoyun and Xiaobao.

Wu Mei and Erya cheered.

In fact, rowing does not require much effort, as long as the two sides are balanced and the force is used in one place. Just now, Dabao and the others were all wrong because they didn't cooperate well.

 The tacit understanding between Xiaobao and Zhou Xiaoyun is obviously much stronger.

 Later, we didn’t catch many water lilies because Dabao was not convinced and insisted on getting on the boat to try again. As for the result...

 Haha, anyway, Dabao always liked to come to the pond to practice rowing, and he vowed not to let Xiaobao underestimate him.
