When they returned home from work, Zhou Zhou and Jiao Zi had a great harvest. They held small soaps, toothpastes and toothbrushes in their arms, just like two little squirrels holding pine cones.

"Zhou Zhou and Jiao Zi should brush their teeth well and take good care of their teeth." Qin Rou reminded them. Today, when they came to the work, the two little guys won candies from uncles and aunts by being cute.

"Yeah." The two brothers nodded together.

Qin Rou pushed the bicycle with them, but the two little guys said they couldn't hold them after walking for a while.

Qin Rou put the things on the bicycle and rested with the two little guys. She also asked a passing child for a coconut leaf, or rather, she exchanged candies with the child.

She let the two brothers walk one after the other holding the coconut leaf.

Zhou Zhou and Dumpling probably thought it was fun, and happily followed their mother's instructions. They held up the coconut leaf and circled around their mother under the tree.

"Mom, Mom..."

Qin Rou ate a piece of fruit candy by herself, and felt that the two little guys under the leaf really looked like two little shrews.

A flash of memory flashed in her eyes, remembering that when these two little guys were still in their mother's belly, she and Lu Yan also carried such a coconut leaf back home.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the cubs have grown so big.

After a short break, they continued walking. All three of them wore oversized sun hats. Qin Rou was wearing a thin and loose sun protection clothing she made herself. On this island, no sun protection is better than physical sun protection. When you are outside, you don't have to pay attention to your image.

Over the years, she has accumulated a lot of sun protection experience, not only sun protection clothing, but also sun protection sleeves and sun protection gloves. Of course, an umbrella is the best.

An umbrella plus a beautiful little straw hat is the most suitable. Generally, everyone living on the island, whether local islanders or foreign educated youth, must have a lot of straw hats and hats at home, and they have to wear a hat when they go out.

Sometimes when the wind is strong, you will see a lot of funny scenes of chasing hats, especially among the educated youth. The hats owned by the beautiful female educated youth are also more beautiful, and of course, they are easier to fly.

The small straw hat that Qin Rou wove herself is very beautiful, simple and generous, and has a feeling of beach vacation. The disadvantage is that it is also easy to fly. Just tie a strap on the chin.

When the wind is strong, don’t worry about whether it is beautiful or not, just hold your head down to save the hat first.

It is not convenient to fly an umbrella when the wind is strong. The umbrella can be blown off your frame. It is as terrible as being squeezed in the subway in Shenzhen. Qin Rou once squeezed in a crowded subway. After getting off the subway, the umbrella in her hand broke.

She also took good sun protection measures for the little ones. The skin of the two kids is like her and his father, and it is not easy to get tanned.

The sun was not so strong this month, but Qin Rou still covered them with straw hats. She pinched the chubby little cheeks under the hats.

"Mom is bad, hehe..." The pinched little kid smiled foolishly.

Qin Rou asked one of them to sit on the crossbar in front of the bicycle and the other to sit on the back. Today, a small child chair was installed on the back of the bicycle. Qin Rou reminded them, "Hold on tight, don't fall off."

The two little kids nodded together.

After pushing the bicycle for a few steps, Qin Rou couldn't help but say, "It's hard for mom to push you."

The two sturdy little guys were no longer light, thanks to the sturdy bicycle now.

Zhou Zhou said considerately, "Go with mom."

Xiao Dumpling also agreed with his brother.

"Okay, let's go together."

It happened that the sky was overcast again, and the two little kids followed their mother like ducklings.

Qin Rou accompanied them and walked slowly on the road.

"It's Xiao Qin."

"Announcer Xiao Qin."

"Here, give the two kids a taste of the freshly picked coconuts."

They met villagers they knew on the road, and they gave the two kids a small coconut and a bamboo straw. Zhou Zhou and Dumpling held the small coconut and drank the sweet coconut juice.

Many villagers here knew Qin Rou, and even if they didn't know her, they were familiar with her voice.

People in this era are very warm and hospitable. Coconuts, mangoes and the like are not valuable things. They rush to pick them fresh and give them to others first, otherwise they will have to feed the pigs if they can't finish them at home.

The two little kids were holding coconuts and lingering. The weather was not hot, and the comfortable breeze was blowing. They seemed particularly leisurely just walking on the road.

But the little kids around them couldn't calm down. They talked a lot to many uncles and aunts today, and after drinking coconut juice, they couldn't stop talking. "Mom, it's the New Year."

"Yes, it's the New Year." Qin Rou originally thought that the two little pigs wanted to cheat their mother for snacks again.

Speaking of the New Year, they must eat a lot of delicious food.

Who knew that Xiao Dumpling would say first: "Mom, is it snowing?"

"Auntie, it's snowing."

It doesn't snow on Qiongzhou Island, so the cubs can't see snow. "You can only snow in the north. Grandpa and grandma stay on your hometown, Jiao Island, and there will be snow during the winter New Year."

"There are monkeys on the mountain, why are there no wolves? Why did mom tell the story of 'The Wolf is Coming'?" "

Because mom used to live in Bincheng, Liaoning Province. There are wolves in the north, as well as grasslands and herds of grazing sheep and cows. We are now on an island in the south. Mr. Wolf, who eats children, probably didn't take a boat across the ocean to the island."

"Why didn't the wolf take a boat to the island?"

"Because Mr. Wolf probably doesn't like the climate here, and no one takes him to take a boat here."

"Why why?" The two children asked questions and had already learned to ask all kinds of whys.

Qin Rou felt that being asked was annoying. How could she know why? But she had to think along the lines of the cubs' questions.

"Because Mr. Wolf felt hot. He is an animal with a lot of hair. If he goes to Guangdong, he might lose his hair because of the heat. Zhou Zhou and Dumpling don't want to wear thick clothes when they are hot, right? Right? Dumpling who likes to kick the quilt?"

After being asked by the two cubs, Qin Rou, who grew up in Guangdong, couldn't help but think about it. It seemed that it would be a bit strange to say that there were lions and wolves on the mountain. Even if there were wolves, they should be wolves with less fur and thinner. As the saying goes, oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while those grown in the north of the Huai River are bitter oranges.

Animals in the northeast can grow mink coats, but how can animals in Qiongzhou Island, Guangdong Province, survive if they grow mink coats?

— They die of heat.

But what’s more puzzling is why are cockroaches and mice in Guangdong Province so big? Cockroaches can even fly…

Qin Rou has seen little mice in the north, and they are really tiny and cute, especially when she saw a little mouse in the north on the window curtains posted by a sand sculpture netizen, it really looks like a baby mouse. As for mice in the south, you won’t think they are cute. If you see a big mouse on the road, you will be scared to death.

In the mountains here, instead of being afraid of wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards, the various snakes on the mountains are the most terrifying. There are also a lot of snakes on Qiongzhou Island.

Qin Rou had seen snakes before when she was in Shenzhen. As for the hot girl Qin Rou's memories of the mountains... I can't bear to look back. You have to be careful when going up the mountain in the summer. The fallen leaves on the ground may be coiled snakes.

Who hasn't stepped on a snake by accident?

Experienced people can distinguish them with the naked eye. You have to use a stick to explore everywhere in the mountains to avoid accidentally stepping on a snake. If you step on one, run away quickly.

People who are good at finding snakes with the naked eye are probably also terrified. People sing kisses everywhere, but maybe you will see snakes everywhere when you go up the mountain in summer. It's better to be less careful.

Looking back at the memories of the mountains in the past, Qin Rou found that there is a source for the prevalence of snakes and corpses there, such as more snakes, insects, rats, ants, and centipedes, plus some mysterious and powerful old ladies on the mountain.

Many old ladies in the mountains are hidden masters. Qin Rou can recall several of them. Even though they are in their seventies or eighties, they are more powerful than many young people when they are walking briskly in the mountains. They

can even catch poisonous snakes with their bare hands! ! ! !

They must have lived long enough. Anyway, when they encounter a very poisonous snake, they just reach out and catch it, and then they turn around and show a mysterious smile to their little grandchildren: "Today's extra meal."

It's definitely not that she is afraid of snakes, but that snakes are afraid of her.

"Zhou Zhou and Dumpling must be careful of snakes when they go up the mountain to play." Qin Rou is very afraid of snakes. She has a psychological shadow on snakes, so when she came to Qiongzhou Island, she bought snake repellent powder first, and paid attention to snake prevention.

It was also the joke of those silly friends in her circle of friends. A big brother in her circle of friends was bitten by a poisonous snake at home. After being bitten, this big brother remembered to take out his mobile phone to take a close-up photo of the snake, and even killed the poisonous snake. Even when he was in the hospital receiving serum injections, he still posted countless photos with his mental journey.

Qin Rou saw his circle of friends at that time: "..."

This is nothing more than entertainment to death, but it is indeed a narrow escape.

"Mom and Mom, where are grandpa and grandma?"

"In our hometown, on Jiao Island in Lu Province."

"Is that also an island?"

"That's a peninsula. A peninsula is, um... surrounded by water on three sides? And connected to the land on one side..."

After returning home, Comrade Xiao Qin was really asked questions by the two little kids. No wonder the popular science book for children is named "One Hundred Thousand Whys", because these little kids just like to ask mom and dad why.

"Mom... why why why?"

The more the kids are exposed to society, the natural environment and the social environment around them, the more questions they have. Just like the epistemology of Marxist philosophy we learned, people use their subjective initiative to understand the world and transform the world.

But with so many whys piled on top of each other, parents will really be asked until their heads are bald.

After returning home, the child's father Lu Yan had already returned. Qin Rou left the two little guys to the baby's father, thinking that you should take care of your sons.

"Mom is going to cook." She would rather cook than be asked questions by her son.

When she came out after cooking, Lu Yan was already taking the children to do handicrafts. They didn't know which comrade-in-arms had given them small bullet shells, but they could be made into airplanes, tanks, and cannons. Who doesn't have some small bullet shell crafts at home? There

is also a serious military song called, "Give You a Small Bullet Shell.

" "Okay, let's all come and eat."

"Eat, eat!"

"Zhou Zhou and Dumpling can eat more, eat more, or they will be snatched away by monkeys."

The people at home are the most active only when they are eating.

After dinner, after taking a shower, Qin Rou lay on the bed and thought about random things. Maybe because she was asked a lot of questions today, she couldn't help but think of more things, such as airplanes, mountains, seas, lakes, her travels to Gansu, Qinghai and Tibet, and the altitude sickness that the tour guide talked about. She once dragged her suitcase and jogged for a while at an altitude of four or five thousand meters, and found that it was really easy to get out of breath.

It is really cool to go to a high altitude place in the summer. The sunlight is very strong and the air is cool. But if the altitude is too high, it will hurt your body.

It seems that if you climb the altitude steadily from low to high, it is not easy to get altitude sickness. If you fly directly by plane, it is easy to get altitude sickness.

Qin Rou thinks she is really funny. Why did she suddenly think of altitude sickness? Haha, if she doesn't think of altitude sickness, does she think of the beautiful and strange toilets in Tibet?

After taking a shower, Lu Yan opened the door, picked up the little fox on the bed, and kissed her forehead with a smile.

Qin Rou looked at the handsome man in front of her, raised her hand and touched his nose, and couldn't help but be possessed by the two little kids, and asked him: "What is the altitude of Jiaodao?"

Lu Yan turned to ask her: "Do you know what altitude means?"

Qin Rou thought to herself, I'm not a primary school student, why are you asking me such a simple question, "Altitude is higher than sea level..." Well, wait?

Lu Yan looked at her without saying anything.

"The benchmark point of zero altitude is..."

"What do you think?"

I know.

Qin Rou learned from her mistakes and threw herself into the arms of the child's father, and suddenly thought: "Dad, I'm going to Xinhua Bookstore to buy "One Hundred Thousand Whys."

Prepare it and let the children read it themselves later.

"Buy it for the children in advance."

Lu Yan looked at her with a smile and supported her, "Buy it."

This era's "One Hundred Thousand Whys" is a best-seller. The "One Hundred Thousand Whys" from the 1960s and 1970s can be said to be at the top of the book sales rankings. There are currently three versions.

One is the first edition in 1961, the second is the second edition in 1964, and the third edition in 1970, which is the "One Hundred Thousand Whys" currently on sale at Xinhua Bookstore.

Qin Rou didn't realize until she arrived at Xinhua Bookstore that the third edition of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" actually had 20 copies.
