Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 57 Catching Cicadas (1)

After this, several friends such as Wang Jingjing, Zhou Qianqian, and Sun Min became frequent visitors to the Zhou family. Even Zhou Zhihai and Feng Tiezhu came to play with Zhou Xiaoyun from time to time, and they all came to pester Zhou Xiaoyun to learn the harmonica.

Wu Mei’s house is far away, so I just followed Zhou Xiaoyun back for lunch at noon. The sticky texture made Zhou Xiaoyun dumbfounded.

 There is no other way but to let them retreat.

 Zhou Xiaoyun became a young teacher, starting from teaching simplified musical notation to practicing playing music.

 The boring practice is really not easy to persevere. Feng Tiezhu and Zhou Zhihai were the first to surrender and find an excuse to go out to play.

 In two days, Wang Jingjing and others could no longer practice, and they shouted that they would not practice anymore and would throw sandbags.

O Amitabha Buddha is so good! Finally getting rid of these little ancestors, Zhou Xiaoyun took a deep breath and played with sandbags with a few others.

Sandbags are made of some sand wrapped in a small piece of cloth, but it hurts too much when the sand is thrown into the body, so Zhou Xiaoyun made a sandbag with rice at home.

Put some rice on a rectangular piece of cloth, fold the cloth in half, and sew the three sides together to make a small sandbag.

It is best to play this in winter so that it doesn’t hurt at all if you hit it. In summer, when you are shirtless and bare-legged, even if the rice grains are hit, it will still hurt a little. But the children can’t care about anything else since they are playing.

Zhou Xiaoyun and Dabao stood alone on one side line, while several other children ran back and forth inside the line.

Those who are hit will immediately "die" and exit. If you can catch the sandbag by chance, you can save one of your "dead" companions. So even though catching sandbags is a dangerous thing, Zhou Zhihai and Feng Tiezhu, who were running inside, tried their best to catch them.

Zhou Zhihai flexibly dodged left and right and ran happily. Feng Tiezhu, a fat man, was panting and couldn't run fast. He didn't pay attention and was hit in the thick calf by a sandbag thrown by Zhou Xiaoyun.

Feng Tiezhu loved to giggle when he saw Zhou Xiaoyun. At this time, he was hit by her and had no temper at all. He laughed twice and stood aside.

　　The remaining girls were declared dead within a short time, leaving only Zhou Zhihai struggling to hold on.

Zhou Xiaoyun winked at Dabao and threw the sandbag high. Dabao caught it flexibly and threw it quickly. Zhou Zhihai was caught off guard and screamed when he was hit.

 A group of children burst into laughter.

Recently, more and more children like to visit the Zhou family to play. Wang Jingjing, Zhou Qianqian and Sun Min are regular visitors, and they often make appointments to visit Zhou Xiaoyun together.

Feng Tiezhu’s home is relatively far away from Zhou Xiaoyun’s, but he and Zhou Zhihai are good friends who never break up and often come to see Zhou Zhihai. The two families are next to each other, so they inevitably come to Zhou Xiaoyun's house often.

Dabao’s follower Shitou and several other boys also came to Dabao every two days.

 The Zhou family has four children, and with the children coming and going, the place is as lively as a vegetable market.

People in rural areas are hospitable, and Zhao Yuzhen is no exception. She is very happy to see children often coming to play at home, which at least shows that the children are popular! If a child is alone at home and has no friends to look for, it will be laughed at.

The two-month long vacation after the final exam began again. This time Dabao's test scores were actually pretty good, with scores in the eighties. Dabao, who had learned well, did not show off his scores. When he saw the test paper Zhou Xiaoyun took home, there was another It was two hundred points, and I couldn't help but be glad that I was wise enough not to be as embarrassed as last time.

Zhou Xiaoyun started her leisurely days herding ducks again. The weather was hot and the ducks jumped into the pond and rejoiced.

 Dabao and a group of boys went to the pond to swim every day, and he didn't mind the ducks eating, drinking and littering in the pond. However, the water in the pond is still relatively clear. Seeing that the temptation was too great in the eyes of a bunch of boys, they all took off their clothes and jumped in.

The water in the pond is not very deep, standing on the shallower edge is no more than one meter. The deepest pond is about two meters deep in the middle. Dabao, who is brave and good at swimming, often swims to the middle to demonstrate to other boys. Those who are not strong in water and are less courageous should stay in shallower water.

 A bunch of half-grown boys splashing water on each other and laughing, is really the best pastime in summer.

Zhou Xiaoyun stayed by the pond and sat under a big tree. There was a large area of ​​shade under the tree and a gentle breeze, which was quite cool and comfortable. Looking into the pond, Zhou Xiaoyun didn't feel embarrassed to see a group of naked boys as old as eleven or twelve as young as seven or eight.

 They are just a bunch of kids! Zhou Xiaoyun thought like this, but he didn't expect that he was actually just a seven-year-old yellow-haired girl at this time.

At this time, the cry of "Zhizhizhi" came from the tree. It was the cicada.

If it rains in summer, go to the ground to find a round hole, put your fingers in and fish it out, and you will be able to fish out a cicada that has not grown up. It is commonly known as cicada. When cooking, throw it on the bottom of the pot and it will be cooked. Fragrant and delicious.

The cicada will shed its skin after a while, and the new cicada will crawl out of the old skin with difficulty, leaving a shell on the trunk. At first glance, it looks almost like real cicadas. Some children love to play with this.

Zhou Xiaoyun sharply spotted a cicada shell on the tree. She carefully took it off and prepared to take it home for Xiaobao to play with.

　　When Xiaobao came home at noon, he got the zhizhi shell and couldn’t put it down. Erya kept asking for it, but Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't coax it, so he had to take Erya to the tree behind the house to look for it. However, this kind of cicada shells can't be found everywhere, and they are rare.

Seeing that her sister couldn't find what she wanted, Erya curled her lips in dissatisfaction and cried.

Dabao came over at this time and took a long bamboo pole with a small net on it. This simple homemade thing is best for catching cicadas alive: "Erya, let's go, brother will take you to catch cicadas."

Erya’s tears immediately stopped and she followed Dabao closely.

 Zhou Xiaoyun, who was left behind by Erya, thought that her sister was really a typical representative of "having **** is a mother".
