Ye Fan looked at the three men who were sitting on pins and needles, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh: "Geng Jingjing, who told you that pouring the essential oil into a basin and washing it on your body won't itch?" Then he asked, "Geng Zhiye, you and Dabao use one. I found out after washing the basin. Aren’t you very vigilant?”
Geng Zhiye's face was as green as Fengyoujing: "Who should I be wary of at home? Besides, who would have thought that there is Fengyoujing in the water?"
Dabao whispered: "Actually, I don't feel uncomfortable at all."
Ye Fan asked: "Why are you shaking if you don't feel uncomfortable?"
Erbao whispered: "I forgot to take a shower and wipe my face. My face feels uncomfortable."
Ye Fan was so angry that he was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Whose idea was it?"
Dabao looked at his sister subconsciously.
Erbao dared to say: "I thought half a bottle of Fengyoujing in a basin of water would not be enough. Just a small bottle like this." Pointing to the small bottle on the coffee table, let her mother see for herself.
The whole bottle of Fengyoujing contains nine milliliters, and the half bottle contains four to five milliliters, which doesn’t sound like much. Ye Fan nodded: "You thought it would be okay to throw firecrackers into the manure pit."
Erbao felt sick when he thought about the scene of feces falling on his body like a goddess scattering flowers, and he was speechless.
Ye Fan asked: "Do you still dare in the future?"
The brother and sister shook their heads together.
Ye Fan: "Go to sleep."
Dabao and Erbao opened their eyes in disbelief and asked in unison: "Now?"
"Otherwise?" Ye Fan asked.
Dabao said with a sad face: "You don't care about me anymore? I can't sleep."
Ye Fan knew it and asked, "Don't you feel uncomfortable? Then why can't you sleep? I guess it must be because I'm not sleepy."
Dabao fell into his father's arms, and his mother was so angry.
Ye Fan asked again: "Why is Commander Geng so uncomfortable?"
The indescribable part is extremely sour and refreshing, but I can't say it in front of the two children. Geng Zhiye was on the verge of tears: "Give us some time, it will not be uncomfortable after the wind oil essence has passed."
Erbao blinked his eyes which were red due to Fengyoujing and nodded vigorously, indicating that it was nothing serious and would be fine in a while.
Ye Fan stood up helplessly and walked out.
Dabao sat up and pulled his father's arm worriedly, and asked in a low voice: "Mom is angry?"
Geng Zhiye felt uncomfortable and really didn't want to speak: "Your mother's eyes didn't touch Fengyoujing, so there is no need for her to be angry. She is speechless towards you two and doesn't want to see you two for the time being."
Erbao: “Is it because I poured wind oil essence into the basin?”
"Because one wave comes after another." Fortunately, he had interceded for the two brats before, but in the end, he was tricked like this.
Ye Fan came in and the three of them sat down subconsciously.
"What are you doing?" Ye Fan wanted to laugh, "Waiting for the leader's inspection?" When he came to Erbao, Erbao said in a panic: "Mom, I was wrong." Ye Fan was startled, "I won't hit you. What’s it called? Wipe your face.”
Erbao instinctively leaned back.
Ye Fan sighed: "There is no Fengyoujing on it. This is the towel Dad used to wipe his face."
Originally there were two towels for bathing and two for washing face. Dabao and his father used two, and Ye Fan and Erbao used two. In order to wipe the feces on their bodies in the afternoon, Ye Fan's bath towel became dirty, so he used his face towel to bathe Erbao. Now the towel was full of Fengyou essence.
When Ye Fan gave Er Bao a bath before, he smelled Fengyoujing and subconsciously thought Erbao had applied Fengyoujing on his itchy body. Because when Ye Fan gave Erbao a bath, he only had a little water on his hands. If it was too little, he didn't notice the Fengyoujing in the water. Unexpectedly, Ye Fan had just cleaned Er Bao when father and son ran in shivering, shirtless and wearing big underpants. Er Bao couldn't help but rub his eyes. Ye Fan wondered what was wrong with the two of them. After asking, he found out about Er Bao and Da Baopan. There is half a bottle of Fengyoujing inside.
Ye Fan told Erbao to close her eyes and wipe away the essential oil remaining on her face, then turned the towel over and wiped Dabao's face, "Dad, do you want to wipe it too?"
"I don't have it on my face." It was a hot day and Geng Zhiye took a hot bath and sweated. When he was about to wipe his face and his crew cut, he smelled something wrong with the towel, so he said, "Why does it smell like wind oil essence?"
Dabao took the opportunity to show off his cleverness by mixing the wind oil essence into the water without applying it at all. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Fengyoujing took effect and Dabao jumped in discomfort. Geng Zhiye threw down the towel, put on his pants and dragged him out.
When the sea breeze blew by in the courtyard, his body became cooler and cooler, as if it had been pickled by Fengyoujing. However, Geng Zhiye was unable to scold him because the Fengyoujing on Geng Zhiye also took effect.
Ye Fan asked: "Didn't you wipe your face with a towel?"
"He blew himself up before he could use it." Geng Zhi glared at his son, "You are really smart!"
Erbao covered his face shyly. Ye Fan hurriedly took off her hand. Erbao was startled, "Mom?" Do you want to hit her?
Ye Fan: "Do you have Fengyoujing on your hand?"
Erbao hurriedly put his hands behind his back, fearing that he might accidentally raise his hands to rub his eyes.
Dabao asked cautiously: "Mom, I don't seem to feel uncomfortable anymore. Can I really go to bed?"
Ye Fan was happy: "Finally told the truth? Did you feel uncomfortable just now? Go ahead."
"You won't hit me secretly while I'm sleeping, right?" Dabao asked.
Ye Fan: "The person you cheated was your father, not me. Why should I beat you?"
Dabao jumped up and moved away from his father. Geng Zhiye was about to stretch out his hand to scare him, but he was too late and missed. Dabao turned around and saw his father's hand that was about to be put down. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back to the door of his and his sister's bedroom.
Erbao was worried that her father would not catch her brother to vent his anger on her, so she quickly got up and hid in the bedroom.
Ye Fan looked at Dabao and asked, "Aren't you still asleep?"
Dabao asked again: "You really don't want to beat me secretly?"
Ye Fan slapped him on the forehead, and Dabao calmly climbed onto the bed after being beaten. Seeing this, Ye Fan followed him speechlessly and asked, "Is it hot?"
Dabao and Erbao didn't dare to say it was hot, so they just said they weren't sweating.
Ye Fan piled a thin towel blanket where Dabao and Erbao could reach, because it was cool at night and they needed to be covered.
When Geng Zhiye saw Ye Fan coming out of the children's room, he knew that the two little ones were really asleep, and asked softly: "Are you still reading?"
Ye Fan: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Geng Zhiye was speechless: "What do you think?"
Ye Fan took the textbook and sat down next to him: "Then do me a favor and distract you by the way?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Say!"
Ye Fan handed him the textbook. Geng Zhiye saw that it was a geography book and instantly understood what Ye Fan asked him to do. Geng Zhiye closed the textbook: "You don't need to read geography." After thinking about it for a moment, a question came up, "What is the largest hydropower station in the three eastern provinces?"
Ye Fan was asked: "Test this?"
"Can't you take this exam?" Geng Zhiye asked, "When Xiaoqin came to prepare for the exam, you reminded her to pay more attention to current affairs, but when it was your turn, you forgot?"
Ye Fan: "You know?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Baishan Hydropower Station. I saw it not long ago. But it's not completed yet."
"When was it repaired?" Ye Fan suspected that it was done in the past few years.
Geng Zhiye saw her thoughts and couldn't help but smile: "It was approved in 1971, construction was ready in 2072, and the main body of the hydropower station was officially started in 2075. At that time, you had to work and take care of Dabao and Erbao. I don't blame you for not paying attention."
"Not comforted."
Geng Zhiye said seriously: "The reason why I ask this question is because I feel that you may be able to complete it in the early stage of the college entrance examination. It is a big event for the country and for individuals, and it is impossible not to mention it at all."
Ye Fan nodded to note it down and asked Geng Zhiye to continue.
Geng Zhiye pondered for a moment without a clue, then a gust of wind came in, which blessed his soul: "Where does a typhoon form an air vortex?"
Ye Fan was asked again: "There are so many provinces and cities in our country, how can I know where they are?"
Geng Zhiye laughed: "It's on the tropical ocean. If you don't know the specific province, I can give you a rough answer. For example, if I ask you where in our country rice can only be harvested once a year, you can answer the three northeastern provinces."
Ye Fan blinked and asked in disbelief: "Can you answer like this?"
Geng Zhiye: "Because rice can be grown in more than one place in the three northeastern provinces. If you don't know the specific area, the person who asked the question must have thought of this. It is absolutely correct to give a general answer."
Ye Fan was taught a lesson: "Come again!"
"It will be difficult to come back again." Geng Zhiye looked eastward, "There are two large ports in Taiwan Province of my country. Which port is in the south and which port is in the north?"
Ye Fan was speechless: "There are others over there?"
"That side is not our inherent territory?" Geng Zhiye asked.
Ye Fan blurted out: "Of course!"
"So it's not normal for it to appear on the geography paper?" Geng Zhiye asked, "Have you only reviewed the South China Sea Islands in terms of islands?"
Ye Fan suddenly felt that he was so stupid: "Your question is so unpopular!"
The first time Geng Zhiye saw Ye Fan so frustrated was the first time Ye Fan came to the island and didn't understand anything like the city people going to the countryside. It has been five years, and I have almost forgotten what she looked like back then. Seeing her again today made me want to hit the wall in annoyance. Geng Zhiye found it very strange: "Then I will make a popular one? The tea trees in our country are mainly distributed south of where——"
"South of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains!" Ye Fan answered and looked at Geng Zhiye very proudly.
Geng Zhiye: "You mean there is tea outside Suzhou City and on the shore of Taihu Lake?"
"Didn't you just say to give a general answer?"
Geng Zhiye: "But I haven't finished asking my question yet. What area is south of the Huaihe River in the Qinling Mountains?"
Ye Fan was speechless and couldn't think of anything, so he said angrily: "I don't know!"
"Hills." Geng Zhiye shook his head and sighed, "Ye Fanfan, what are you reviewing?"
Ye Fan slapped him: "You still said——"
Geng Zhiye grabbed her hand and said, "The level of the students was unclear in the previous exams, and because the college entrance examination questions have not been given for many years, the teachers who set the questions must be very careful when discussing the questions and can't help but think about the candidates. I have gained experience in the past two years. , next year’s topic is definitely Especially tricky. If you want to say that you are unpopular, you can find these questions in geography books whether it is the three eastern provinces, the Qinling Mountains, the Huaihe River, or even the desert. When you see the test paper, you will feel irritated and you will not perform well. ”
That makes sense! Ye Fan nodded: "Then I'll calm down."
Geng Zhiye: "How about changing history?"
"Then let's talk about history. I'll give it a try, don't be too difficult." Geng Zhiye nodded with a smile: "Where was the capital of the Zhou Dynasty established? Do we call the early Zhou Dynasty the Western Zhou Dynasty?"
Ye Fan's eyes lit up and he blurted out: "Haojing! It's the same place as the Western Han Dynasty and the Western Capital of the Tang Dynasty!"
Geng Zhiye thought about it carefully: "Correct. What about the next trip? The Treaty of Nerchinsk -"
"Stop, I haven't seen this yet, so I definitely don't know."
Geng Zhiye said with a smile: "There is progress, not unpopularity."
"How could the Treaty of Nerchinsk be unpopular?" Ye Fan couldn't help but say.
Geng Zhiye: "It's not easy to ask questions verbally in politics, so why don't we end it here today?"
"You go to bed first, and I'll take a look." Ye Fan took the geography book over, moved a small bench to sit on, and then took out the scratch paper and pen to copy the knowledge points in the geography book.
Geng Zhiye didn't go to bed either and stayed with her until half past nine. Ye Fan couldn't help but rub his eyes, so Geng Zhiye took her to rest.
Early the next morning, Ye Fan got up and memorized the history of the Qing Dynasty and modern times.
Geng Zhiye went to the wet market to buy some seafood and came back to cook seafood porridge.
Dabao and Erbao knew that their mother was going to take the college entrance examination. The brother and sister really hoped that their mother would be admitted to Peking University, so they ran to do Tai Chi outside the door, fearing that the sound would disturb their mother's reading.
The Liao family hadn't cooked yet, so Liao Miaomiao had nothing to do. When she saw the two brats at the entrance of the alley, she walked over and said, "Dabao, Erbao, aren't you wearing yesterday's clothes?"
Dabao "Shh" and lowered his voice and said: "Keep your voice down, Sister Miao Miao, my mother forgot."
Erbao nodded: "Dad also forgot to ask us to change the clothes we washed yesterday."
Liao Miaomiao suspected that Ye Fan was pretending not to see it, otherwise he would have seen the clothes in the yard when he opened the door. How could he forget so easily, "Are you two going to watch the excitement in the future?"
Dabao shook his head: "Mom used to say to stay away and don't get dirty. I thought she was used to it."
Erbao couldn't help but nodded: "I think so too. Sister Miao Miao, has my mother also encountered this?"
It would be difficult for Liao Miaomiao to answer if she didn't go to the city to go to college. Because I met them in the city, I asked: "Dabao, Erbao, have you seen a bus? There is water on the road on a rainy day. If you are too close to the car, will you be splashed with mud and water by the passing bus?"
< br>
The brother and sister suddenly realized that their mother was from the city and often took the bus, so no wonder she knew so much.
Liao Miaomiao saw smoke coming from her chimney: "My family is cooking, I'll go take a look."
When she arrived at her kitchen, Liao Miaomiao saw that her brother was alone and asked her brother to read while she lit the fire. Brother Liao was worried that if his mother and sister got into a fight while talking in the kitchen, it would mean that they were not tired of making the fire and did not need help from their sister.
Liao Miaomiao said that Dabao and Erbao were practicing Tai Chi at the intersection. Brother Liao got up immediately, not because he liked Tai Chi so much, but because he liked the way Tai Chi could be mysterious.
When I returned to my hometown last year, Brother Liao did Tai Chi once. When his grandmother's neighbor's children saw him, they regarded him as their boss and said he was as good as the kung fu masters in old movies. Therefore, Brother Liao always brings a group of younger brothers with him wherever he goes, not to mention how impressive he is.
However, when he went out, Dabao and Erbao were tired from practicing and planned to play something else.
Brother Liao asked Erbao to practice Juntiquan. In exchange, he would take them to capture cicadas at night.
Dadi likes to eat cicadas, Dabao and Erbao don’t, but they like to go out and play at night. In order to be able to explore with his friends, Erbao worked hard to practice martial arts boxing.
Dabao's hands and feet were more flexible than Erbao's, and his martial arts boxing was better than Erbao's. Dabao corrected him next to Brother Liao, and then watched Brother Liao practice twice before the three of them went back to their respective homes.
When Dabao and Erbao smelled the fragrance of rice in the living room, they went to wash their faces with water without Ye Fan reminding them.
Seeing how sensible they were, Ye Fan put down his book and went to the kitchen to share with Geng Zhiye: "They are very good every time they get into trouble."
Geng Zhiye: "You didn't let them wear the same clothes they wore yesterday?"
Ye Fan: "I feel sick just looking at it. Will they be able to eat after wearing it?"
Geng Zhiye: "You were so serious yesterday. I thought you really planned to ask them to wear it for a long time. It doesn't matter if they don't wear it. I don't know how many germs there are. But these two smart-alecks must have thought you forgot."
Ye Fan nodded: "Let it dry outside. They will be naughty again. I will ask them to put it on again."
Geng Zhiye gave her the cold salad: "Okay. You take the chopsticks and bowl, I will bring the porridge over and you don't have to come back again."
After the meal, Ye Fan went to the kitchen to wash the pots and dishes. Dabao and Erbao discussed whether to hide the clothes they wore yesterday, but they were afraid that the clothes would suddenly disappear. The mother remembered that the brother and sister had no better way, so they decided to accompany their mother. Reading, my mother studied hard and didn't even know when they went out. How could she still remember yesterday's "threat"?
It was hot during the day on the island, and Ye Fan didn't want to go out. Until Geng Zhiye came back in the evening, Ye Fan didn't think about the "clothes stained with feces". Dabao and Erbao thought they had passed another test.
After dinner, the brother and sister dared to "revert to their old ways" and go out to play. Geng Zhiye didn't want them to disturb Ye Fan's reading, so he said he wouldn't come back until nine o'clock.
The days were long and the nights were short. It was almost eight o'clock after dinner, and it was a bit early to play until nine o'clock, but the brother and sister did not dare to bargain and promised to get home before nine o'clock.
Hengshan Island has many trees but few people. Although there are children catching cicadas every night, you can catch cicadas every night, but the places you frequent are much less than before.
Erbao held a flashlight, and Dabao was responsible for catching them. In the end, three were caught in ten minutes. Dabao thought it was too few, so he complained to Brother Liao. Brother Liao found that five was too few, so he told him to look elsewhere.
The children in the production team were not asleep yet. Some of them heard the voices of Dabao and Dadi and ran over, saying, "Martyr Lin Liduo, do you dare to go?"
There are many trees around the martyrs' graves, but they are in such a mess that they look like mass graves at first glance. Geng Zhiye led his troops to repair it several times. Flowers were planted on the roadside, pine trees were planted in the area closest to the tomb, and others were planted further away. The tomb of the Lieutenants was no longer a lonely tomb and became a forest of martyrs.
Because there were many trees, it gave people a spooky feeling, and some members of the production team passed by the martyrs' grave at night and heard someone talking but didn't see anyone. They concluded that the martyrs would come out at night, and the children in the team were not allowed to approach. As a result, no one disturbed them. The Martyrs' Forest has become a playground for birds and insects.
The Martyrs' Forest has been extremely lively in the summer of the past two years. The villagers who live not far away can't sleep. Either the cicadas are chirping non-stop or the frogs are cooing.
Dabao said: "I'm not afraid. My father said that those buried there are my father's comrades. My father's comrades are my uncles and they will definitely not scare me."
Brother Liao was a little scared. Hearing Dabao's words, he couldn't help but said: "He is also my father's comrade. Are you going?" He asked the children in the village.
Several children nodded: "Wait for us, let's go home and get something." They quickly got home and brought back an enamel jar with a lid, and asked Dabao to lead the way.
Dabao is so stupid and bold that he walks in front.
Approaching the Martyrs' Forest, you can see several cicadas that have just crawled out with just a flashlight. A group of older and younger children exclaimed "There are so many!" and instantly forgot their fear.
Everyone returned home with a full meal, and only when they got home did they realize where they had caught the cicadas. But nothing happened, there was no ghost at all as the adults said, and these children became firm atheists.
Because she was not afraid, Erbao showed off to her mother: "Mom, there are a lot of cicadas in Martyr Lin. My brother and I caught them all at once, and we caught so many in half an hour. Mom, are we good?"
Ye Fan: "You are responsible for the quacking, and your brother is responsible for the random arrests?"
"No!" Erbao climbed onto his mother's lap and held her face, "I'm warning you, take your words back."
Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye if the cicadas caught over there could be eaten.
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Okay. We have raised the grave by one or two meters in the past few years. Even if the cicada was caught on the top of the grave, it is impossible for him to crawl out from the innermost part."
Dabao asked: "Mom, what does dad mean?"
Ye Fan: "What you think means, I'm afraid the cicada is crawling out of the grave."
"We didn't go to the grave." Dabao thought carefully: "Dad said it was impolite to step on the grave, like playing on someone's head. We caught him outside."
Erbao nodded to prove that his brother was not lying: "There are many on the roadside."
Ye Fan: "No one caught you?"
Geng Zhiye thought about the members of the Shanxi production team who believed that the martyrs would come out at night: "No one should go in except the honey farmers."
Ye Fan recalled the time when she went to the Shanxi brigade to exchange rice cakes and saw with her own eyes the members of the commune walking and running when they passed Li Shi's tomb: "Then leave it alone. I'll make it for you two tomorrow morning."
Dabao and Erbao said in unison: "Will you do it?"
Ye Fan: "You two do it yourself?"
Dabao shook his head: "Mom, do it. Mom, I'm going to take a bath."
Ye Fan: "Would you like to add some toilet water to the bathtub?"
Dabao didn't dare to try and shook his head in fear, "Dad, hurry up!"
Geng Zhiye has washed it, but he doesn't mind rinsing it again.
Ye Fan gave Erbao a bath, washed her and wiped it himself.
The two children returned to the house, and Ye Fan and Geng Zhiye returned to the living room again. Geng Zhiye studied history with her.
The next morning, Geng Zhiye went to the army to write a letter to his second brother. He would not go back this summer and asked him to help find a few sets of college entrance examination questions. Those written by others would also work.
Several sets of test papers were sent to the army. Geng Zhiye copied the questions and took them home when he could go home at night to watch Ye Fan write.
In the first set of test papers, Ye Fan answered half of them correctly. Geng Zhiye helped her correct the test paper and said: "This score can only be admitted to Hangzhou Normal College. By the way, English may be added to the college entrance examination next year."
In the past two years, English majors have taken the English test. Liao Miaomiao and Su Yuanhang did not plan to major in foreign languages, so they did not need to take the English test.
Ye Fan nodded: "I don't need to review my English. I just take a look at it one month before the exam. But this score is far away from Beijing University."
Geng Zhiye: "It's good to be able to write like this for the first time. Besides, how long have you been reviewing? And you are not reviewing wholeheartedly. Do a few more sets to master the rules of the questions, and you will know how to review in the future."
"That's right. I still have one year." Ye Fan had to review and didn't care where his children went to play. But unexpectedly, the two of them really healed their scars and forgot about the pain.
One day in early August, Liao Miaomiao suddenly ran to Ye Fan's house and said that Dabao and Erbao were going to the beach.
Ye Fan followed Liao Miaomiao to the beach. Two children were playing in the sand in the shade next to the rocks. There were several children in the sea, two of them, Brother Liao and Xiaomei Liao, were floating face up.
Liao Miaomiao was so angry that she shouted: "Liao Lele!"
Liao Lele hurriedly dragged her sister up.
Liao Miaomiao's anxious heart settled and she asked: "Dabao, Erbao, why didn't you two go down?"
Dabao: "Dad is not here. If a big wave hits, I won't be able to see my parents."
Erbao nodded: "I don't want to go to the old Dragon King's house. It must smell fishy!" After saying that, he wrinkled his nose with a look of disgust.
Ye Fan was speechless and wanted to laugh: "You two are so obedient, then when dad comes back, ask dad to take you swimming."
Erbao turned to his brother and raised his eyebrows. Am I right? When mom saw us being so obedient, she would definitely ask dad to accompany us into the water.
