There were a lot of people by the stream, and many little kids from the village went down to the river to catch fish and snails, preparing to take them home to eat. After all, even if they were small, they were still meat.

Xu Jiaojiao was weaving a straw bracelet on the side. Xie Zhi went to the foot of the mountain and picked some fruits. He wiped them with a handkerchief and stuffed one into his pocket. It was sweet and delicious.

After making sure the taste was good, he stuffed it into the girl's pocket. Xu Jiaojiao took it in her hand and took a bite. She threw the core under the tree and soaked her feet in cold water. She felt very comfortable.

"Jiaojiao, I don't know what college life is like, but the teacher gave me ten more dollars this time."

"Why?"

"The topic is a bit difficult." Xie Zhi explained casually and Xu Jiaojiao nodded to show her understanding.

The girl thought for a long time and finally recounted her memories of college: "College is very interesting. Maybe we will know it after we finish our studies. There may be many clubs, doing all kinds of things."

Xie Zhi's cold pale cheeks were stained with a slight blush, their legs were soaked in the stream water, entangled together, the girl's voice was very nice, so he just listened to her story slowly.

Although I don’t know how Jiaojiao knew all this, she always has a lot of knowledge that she doesn’t even know about. She also likes to listen to the radio, so maybe she learned something from it.

The man looked over with his dark and bright pupils, and paused: "Jiaojiao, I really want to go to college with you as soon as possible, go to the library together, go out to eat together, and buy a house. Maybe I can't do it now, but I will try my best."

"Of course."

The two of them played in the river for a while. The water was icy and cool. If it were in the future, she might have been out playing for a long time. She stared at the calm water in a daze: "I really want to bury my whole body in it, so that my whole body will be cool."

The slightly deeper streams are about 50 centimeters, while the shallower ones are almost above the calves, so it is fine for some simple play.

Xie Zhi saw the longing on the girl's face and the yearning in her tone, and thought about it, this shouldn't be that difficult.

"After dinner, I'll bring Jiaojiao here."

"Really?" The girl turned her head suddenly and looked at Xie Zhi expectantly.

Although the weather has improved a lot, it is still hot. The villagers still go to the fields to eat. Men and women go to the fields to earn work points. Even the children at home carry baskets to pick peanuts. There are few idle people in the whole village.

He touched the girl's head gently and said with a smile, "Of course it's true. Let's go back first." The sun had completely set behind the mountains, and only the sunset in the sky was still announcing its existence.

There was a cool breeze on the way home. The night was showing signs of getting slightly colder, but Xu Jiaojiao's mind was full of scenes of playing in the water. She even fantasized about having a water gun so that she could use it against Xie Zhi. It was his fault that he had so many desires every day.

After returning home, the girl found her skirt and took out her shorts from the closet just in case. The fabric was loose and elastic. Xie Zhi prepared some food. It got dark very slowly, maybe after eight o'clock, so it would be better to prepare some fruits or something.

The hand-rolled noodles made by her mother that she ate in the evening, topped with fresh braised meat and served with a spice-filled soup, were so delicious that the girl ate a lot more than usual.

"Jiaojiao, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Brother, Xie Zhi and I are going to the river to play in the water. It's too hot at home."

Xu Yan blinked his eyes. The most powerful fan in the house was given to his sister, but he also wanted to play in the water, so he and Xu Ze decided to go out happily.

Before he could even leave, Yan Fenglian stopped him and said, "Be careful. Although the water isn't deep, don't go upstream."

"Got it? Let's go."

Xu Ze also brought the braised chicken feet and wings made by his mother. Many of them were bought by his mother in the city because his sister wanted to eat them. But these things were not expensive and did not contain meat, so they were much more cost-effective than simply buying a chicken.

After taking these things, she followed her. Yang Mei saw Xu Jiaojiao's back, pursed her lips, and followed her without knowing what she was thinking. The money was snatched away by her mother, and she was left with a beating. At least she had to tell her first that it might take a long time before she could return it to her.

The girl tied up all her hair and secured it with a big clip and a hairband so that it would not fall off no matter how she played. She was wearing a loose white skirt and a pair of slippers instead of leather shoes.

Holding hands with Xie Zhi, I arrived at the river. The first thing we did when we got there was to light the mugwort and fumigate the surrounding area. Finally, we sprinkled some mosquito repellent water on it. There were fruits and some snacks on the shore.

Xu Jiaojiao couldn't wait to sit in the water. A small stone was completely submerged, and soon the stream water submerged her lower body, making the side of her waist wet and firmly stuck to her torso.

Xu Yan and Xu Ze arrived soon. Seeing their sister splashing water on Xie Zhi, they smiled helplessly: "Jiao Jiao."

"Brother, come down quickly, it's cool."

The two of them placed the braised food on the shore and then went down. They sat down in a slightly deeper place and were submerged up to their waists. Looking at the chicken feet, Xu Jiaojiao's stomach, which had just been full, was instantly aroused.

"Where did you get the chicken feet, brother? I don't know."

Xu Ze sighed: "My dear sister, you ran so fast that you disappeared even if I called you. Didn't I bring this to you?"

As he said that, he handed one to her and also to Xie Zhi. The little plump chicken feet were so delicious that the girl almost ate them in tears. They were braised to perfection, and were soft and boneless.

Xu Jiaojiao shook Xie Zhi's arm and kept saying excitedly: "It's delicious."

Xie Zhi saw the girl finish eating and wiped her mouth: "Then remember to eat more."

There were very few people by the stream, except for the four of them. Xu Jiaojiao ate three chicken feet before she was satisfied, and two chicken wings, which she could not eat any more, so she announced that she would fight again tomorrow.

Xie Zhi touched her belly several times with a smile, but she was still very happy, and her appetite was the most important thing.

Yangmei hid aside and watched them. Jiaojiao's brothers liked her very much and loved her very much. It was said that they even gave the girl money to spend. In contrast, her own brother wanted to tear off his sister's flesh and blood and eat it.

Xu Jiaojiao saw her with her sharp eyes and waved excitedly: "Yangmei, come over and play, this chicken foot is delicious."

As soon as the girl said this, almost everyone's eyes turned to her, making Yang Mei blush. She walked towards him slowly, and her face became even redder when she saw Xu Yan.

Xu Jiaojiao was surrounded by handsome guys. Xie Zhi wasn't mentioned, but Xu Yan and Xu Ze were famous handsome guys in the village. Now being stared at by these guys, Yang Mei didn't dare to raise her face and sat aside hesitantly.

Xu Jiaojiao stuffed the chicken feet into her hands enthusiastically: "Yangmei, try it, it's delicious, my mother braised it for a long time."

The chicken feet in my hand felt as heavy as a branding iron, and I could smell the fragrance as soon as I walked in.
