It finally started to rain after half a month of clearness. It was dark clouds, lightning and thunder. In an instant, heavy rain covered the entire town.

The wilted trees straightened their torso to welcome the sharp rain. The rain hit the leaves and made crackling sounds of water droplets.

The dust on the street was washed away by rain and flowed along the sewer.

It is indeed a good time to meet the drought. Fang Ning stood on the eaves downstairs and stretched his hands, stretched his head, inhaled deeply, and the fresh air rushed into his lungs, making him feel cool and comfortable.

Fang's mother went to Yueyang this morning, and the matter discussed last night was concluded. She could go there to take care of the elderly and children, and secretly stuff some money, but it would be absolutely impossible to use the family money to help the two uncles. In principle, it is a matter of principle.

I thought it was sunny today and it was easy to get off, but I didn’t expect it to be a rainy day, and the road was very inconvenient, so my father followed him.

Grandpa and grandma don’t care about these things, and they can’t help but everyone has their own ideas, let alone their own children.

They focused on running their own shops and earned a fortune for Fang Ning and Fang Wei. They had no idea about anything else. After all, at this age, they no longer had extravagant hopes for money or something.

The heavy rain stopped after two hours. The water level by the river rose by an inch higher, the water surface was turbid and yellow, and the rolling water flowed downstream. Many people stood in the flood control line to watch the flood. Fang Ning and the others also went. After watching for a while, they felt that it was meaningless and came back.

On the way back, they met a few more acquaintances and stopped to chat.

Cao Ying's parents and grandfather were familiar with each other, and they chatted while walking. After Fang Ning obediently called the elders, he retreated to the back and followed and listened to the adults talking about things.

Cao Ying disappeared for half a summer vacation. He became much whiter and looked extremely quiet. He cut his ears and smiled with his lips. Fang Ning didn't know the reason, but he thought the girl had grown up and knew she was shy. She didn't look like her sister, she was just a tomboy. Later, after a closer look, she found that she was wearing braces and correcting her teeth. She felt a little embarrassed, so she pursed her lips.

It seemed that Fang Ning had been staring at her for a long time, Cao Ying was a little angry, glared at him, lowered his head, retreated to Fang Wei, and whispered with her hand in hand.

Cao Ying's father is Cao Fang, a very talkative middle-aged man. He said about his recent birth, such as the old lady in Xiangyanglou passed away last week and left peacefully, but the children fought for the elderly's legacy, which was a bit over. The son of Lao Xia's family also became a high-ranking official in the army, which can be said to have returned home in glory. Finally, he said that someone in Lijiang community bought a code and won 700,000 yuan, and renovated the house again, which was quite enviable.

"Seven hundred thousand, no need to pay taxes, it's all your own." Cao Fang said.

When my grandmother heard this, she was a little moved. Seven hundred thousand yuan is still a considerable amount of money for an ordinary family.

In the past, she liked buying codes very much, but since she lost several thousand yuan, she stopped. From 2008 to now, she has not touched that thing for three or four years. She finally quit gambling addiction. If she touched it again, she would be afraid that she would not be able to get up.

Although there are examples of 700,000, the lucky ones are a minority after all. Isn’t there any countless people going on to pounce on this lottery? In the end, they lost all their money, lost all their money, and separated their wives and children?

Grandpa also sighed that this gambling addiction is harmful to people, but buying codes in this county has become a natural trend, and even the government cannot solve it. If you take this company off, another company will build a farmer, and you will have nowhere to remove the roots. The spring breeze will grow again in spring, like a gangrene that has a bone attached to it. It is impossible to wake up without the pain of skin cutting.

After walking for a while, Fang Ning saw Hu Lu wave to Fang Wei and others in the distance, and calling them over.

Fang Wei smiled and asked her brother if she would go shopping. She had a small idea in her mind. Her brother was also a local rich man, and she only had a lot of money in her hand. If she was happy, she might be reimbursed for everything she bought on the street, not to mention that she could help carry things after buying them.

Fang Ning shook his head and joked, why am I going to get involved with these girls?

However, Fang Wei ignored Fang Ning's head and forced him to leave his grandfather and the others, and walked towards Hu Lu.

Hu Lu and Fang Ning greeted Fang Wei and gave a look. After all, what happened to bring her brother with them when they went to play? But they just complained slightly.

Fang Ning and the others started a day trip to the old street. It rained today, and the air condition on the street was good, the temperature was moderate, and there was no heat.

I walked through Yichun Clothing Store at the East Street Vegetable Market, and I had to go in and take a look at all the clothing stores.

Fang Ning was not embarrassed. Anyway, just follow him and look left and right. If it really doesn't work, go outside for a few walks.

Cao Ying and Hu Lu were embarrassed. The girl had to go to the fitting room when she chose clothes. But when she came out, she was wearing thin clothes and her well-educated figure was clearly visible through the thin clothes. Especially the vest underwear, it was even more abrupt. Fang Ning had to go out for a walk again, leaving behind the sound of girls laughing and joking.

The girls were indeed all born consumers and shopaholics. Fang Ning followed the three of them. After a while, his hands were full, carrying several bags, mostly covered with clothes and pants.

Except for Fang Wei, who was a rich man, Cao Ying and the others didn't have much money, but they just bought some pure clothes. Fang Wei bought two pairs of Nike shoes. Of course, Fang Ning paid the money. The beautiful brother cared about his sister, so what happened to pay for it? This is a sign of caring for his sister, but Fang Ning was stunned and had no choice but to pay the money willingly.

Cao Ying was still sighing that he had a brother who loved his sister, and I wanted one too.

Fang smiled and said, "You can recognize my brother as your brother."

Fang Wei originally thought that Cao Ying was beautiful and had a good personality. She was a good candidate for her sister-in-law and kept it for her brother. This was called "Full water" and "outsiders" but who knew that Fang Ning chose Sister Xi, who studied together from junior high school and went to high school to the same school and class, and was inseparable. What's this called? Childhood girl! Fang Wei thought about it and then let it go.

Cao Ying pouted, let’s forget it, he is only one year older than me. Besides, a gentleman is not good at taking advantage of others.

Fang Ning was ashamed, what a mess of this.

After they walked around their clothes, they went directly to the Cross Street to eat delicious food. There is a saying that it is said that delicious food should not be disappointed. No wonder Fang Wei stopped eating breakfast in the morning and just had an empty stomach. The roots are here, leaving the stomach to eat delicious food.

Pumpkin pie, candied haws, wolf teeth potatoes, mapo tofu, kebabs...

After eating all the way, they had fun. Fang Ning was holding a bag of clothes in his hand, and was so tired that he thought he was the most unlucky person in the world. However, after seeing Yu Xiaole, he immediately changed his mind.

Yu Xiaole followed Liu Meiting, with bags hanging on her body. She had no place to take things with her hands. She even had a bag hanging around her neck, panting.

They came all the way from Xiaoximen, probably from the Golden Sun Bookstore there, because Fang Ning saw that Yu Xiaole had bought a few books, which had the packaging bag logo of the Golden Sun Bookstore.

When the two groups of people met together, the girls naturally went up to chat, leaving Fang Ning and Yu Xiaole with two brothers in distress. Naturally, they saw the fellow villagers and were crying.

Yu Xiaole complained in tears and accused Liu Meiting of his atrocities. He couldn't survive. You said that buying things is OK. Anyway, buying some snacks is only 200 yuan a day, not a lot, but it's mainly because of being tired. When girls go shopping, they are naturally energetic, as if they have endless energy. They climb the fifth floor without breathing. They are following behind and carrying so many things, and their legs are almost no longer theirs. When they arrive at the store, they are busy looking for a place to sit, just wanting to take a breath and free them.

Fang Ning carried two bags in unhelpfulness, "Don't look at me, I'm suffering too. I can only give you a sympathetic look."

“By the way.”

"Hmm?" Fang Ning said.

"I have rarely seen Lao Guang and Lao Tan recently. Do you have any contact?" Yu Xiaole said.

"No!" Fang Ning thought, that's right. It's been half a summer vacation, and neither of them has been in sight. At least they have never had bubbles in this month.

"I called them, but it didn't work. Lao Guang's phone was shut down all year round. As for Lao Tan, there was no phone number at all, only his second uncle. His second uncle said that he was not at home, and he was not very clear about where he went." Yu Xiaole found a place to sit up. He had so many things hanging on his body. It was so bad that he was not a strong boy like Liu Lei, but a fat, clean and without muscles.

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look at it."

Fang Wei and Liu Meiting happily ended the conversation, shared their shopping experience, and then came out again.

Fang Ning and Yu Xiaole observed silently for each other and continued shopping.

…

In the evening, Fang Ning finished his meal and took a shower, and then went out.

He went to the No. 1 Middle School to stroll around. It was dark early in summer. Soon the sun set, and the lights of thousands of families were dim. The shops lined up on the street, crawling like a long dragon.

Next to the play were parents and children, and the children were chasing and playing in groups of three or five. There were also many elderly people wearing white vests and shorts, shaking their palm-leaf fans and enjoying the cool air. Or four or five old men gathered together to play cards, and a group of people watched, making fun.

The air at night is a bit dull, and the air is filled with hot air, and the temperature is only high or low, at least thirty degrees.

When people move, they sweat profusely. The air is dull, the sweat sticks to their clothes and it is a bit sticky. There are cicadas in the distance, which makes people feel very annoying.

Fang Ning bought some watermelons on the street and squatted on the stone next to the fountain, while eating watermelon spitting seeds and watching the scenery coming and going.

Cheng Xi called him after get off work. Shanying Taekwon Kwon Hall was next to the Forestry Bureau. It was less than a kilometer from there to No. 1 Middle School. I just heard that Fang Ning was walking around at the entrance of No. 1 Middle School to digest food, so he came here.

When Fang Ning saw her, she was wearing a Taekwondo uniform, white clothes, belts around her waist, and head tied and hanged down, looking a little heroic.

Fang Ning smiled and handed her a piece of watermelon, "Term her thirst."

So Cheng Xi also joined Fang Ning's army of watermelon gnawing, but compared to Fang Ning's lazy look squatting on the stone, Cheng Xi sat on a stone chair. Even though he was eating watermelon, his eyebrows were very beautiful, as if he was not eating watermelon, but other things.

"Why are you getting off work so late today?" Fang Ning turned his head and vomited melon seeds all over the floor with great difficulty.

Cheng Xi finished eating the watermelon and wiped his mouth before saying, "The salary has been settled at the end of the month, so I delayed it."

"At the end of the month? My God, I'm almost confused by my life. If we calculate this, we will only have one month left to start school?" Fang Ning suddenly felt no longer in the mood to eat melons. "I haven't even started my summer homework..."

Cheng Xi glanced at him, said with some amusedness, "That's your own business."

Fang Ning thought that there was still one month left, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. The more he ended up getting more and more frivolous, he was heartless and said, "How much salary did you pay?"

"Three thousand four, and there are other subsidies that are not included. There are nearly four thousand in the mess."

"Why is it three thousand four? I remember you seemed to have more than three thousand six last time." Fang Ning scratched his head.

"Don't you know that taxes are collected within 3,400 or so?" Cheng Xi said the opposite.

"Oh, for tax evasion, right?" Fang Ning nodded, so that's it.

"I'm going back." Cheng Xi looked at the sky. It was already half past five and it was time to go back. Fortunately, he called home before, so there was no need to worry too much. Fang Ning said I'll take you away. The latter rolled his eyes. The second bus station is here, and it's only a few steps away, so there is no need to take you at all.

The two chatted for a while and the bus came back.

Fang Ning didn't pay attention, so she kissed her face, and then ran away in panic.

Cheng Xi shook his head, his eyes fell on the place where Fang Ning made a news report, and he was silent for a long time before he finally jumped onto the bus.

Fang Ning walked all the way to the New Martyrs Cemetery. At night, there were not many people here, and there were no street lights or street lights. When he looked into the cemetery, it was pitch black and gloomy, and he didn't dare to go in.

He remembered that it seemed that the cemetery would be changed to a project in the second half of this year. As a place for a semi-cemetery and semi-amusement park, the laughter and joy of tourists and couples between them did not see the corpses under the cemetery. This is actually the greatest disrespect for the martyrs who are sleeping here forever. If a person does not have a slight sense of awe for the martyrs who sacrificed for the country, then there is no moral flaw in this person. What if it is not a person, but the whole thing? That is an extremely bad atmosphere.
