Chapter 225 Brother Huozi
Xu Lang still felt a little sorry and called Qiu Huoming over. The sugar water had already been poured into the bowl.
Qiu Huoming sat at the table and drank with a spoon. The taro was soft and delicate in the mouth, with just the right sweetness. The glutinous feeling balanced out the sweetness of the tangerine peel and the sand of the red beans, which was both greasy and delicious.
"Is it delicious?" Zhao Jiamin had finished the bowl and leaned against the window and asked him with a smile.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious." The temperature of the sugar water was just right at the moment, and it didn't take long for him to finish it off.
"Take a rest for half an hour, then go to the backyard and show me a set of punches." Xu Lang ordered.
"okay."
Qiu Huoming agreed, and they went downstairs one after another, leaving Qiu Huoming and Zhao Jiamin behind to clean the dishes on the table.
"Don't move, I'll take it off and wash it..." Qiu Huoming was stunned by the others, and Fengfenghuohuo put the bowls, chopsticks and soup pot on the table into a bamboo basket, carried them and walked downstairs.
"Eh..." Zhao Jiamin didn't stop him, Qiu Huoming had already gone downstairs.
She glanced at the stairs. Qiu Huoming had already walked away with the basket. The corners of her mouth raised slightly. This guy was really quick.
She thought for a moment, rolled up her shirt cuffs, and went downstairs.
The kitchen had been cleaned up by Teacher Zhang before. When she entered, she found that she had no use for it.
Qiu Huoming was whistling and washing the dishes briskly, with skillful movements, as if he often did housework.
"In your family, do you often do housework?" Zhao Jiamin leaned against the door frame and asked curiously. She knew that Qiu Huoming was an only child at home and had several sisters. Normally in such a family, boys would not do the work.
"Yes, my parents are the only son. I have to be a good example to my two younger sisters." Qiu Huoming said unequivocally.
Zhao Jiamin was stunned for a moment. This idea was indeed different. Qiu Huoming was promoted to another level in her mind. A brother who could love and protect his sister would not be any worse.
"Then I'm willing to let you work?"
Qiu Huoming thought for a while and said, "You can do whatever you can without getting tired. However, my mother does most of the cooking in our house. She cooks delicious food. We also have a vegetable garden in front of our house..."
Qiu Huoming opened his chatterbox, lost control, and fell into memories.
"The vegetable garden is not big, and my little sister often weeds it. She raises a cuckoo named Hei Niu. She also raises a reed chicken that lays an egg every day..."
Qiu Huoming drained the water in the bowl and introduced the situation in his hometown to Zhao Jiamin with a smile.
"Cuckoo? Is it a type of cuckoo? Can this kind of bird be raised well?" Zhao Jiamin said in surprise.
"I raised them when they didn't have hair. My sister told me to let them out, and they flew back at night. I couldn't even drive them away..."
"That's great. I used to want to raise small animals in the countryside..." Zhao Jiamin sighed, "It's a pity that I can't even raise myself."
The dishes, chopsticks and soup pot were placed next to the sink to drain the water. Qiu Huoming wiped his hands with a dry rag hanging on the rope, "When Sanhua has a kitten, we will also raise one."
"Put it in the dormitory?"
"Well, I asked other people in our dormitory, and they all didn't object. If you want to come and play with cats in the future, you can come to our dormitory..."
"Wow, that's great. Except for our dormitory..." Zhao Jiamin frowned, "Except for Shan Fang, she really hates small animals. In the collective dormitory, we can only accommodate each other."
"She hasn't been in trouble lately, has she?"
"It's been pretty peaceful recently. Last time I went back late, she still brought me hot water. I was quite surprised. Song Xiang said that before she had time to react, Shan Fang had already gone out with the thermos bottle."
"This is strange. Please pay attention to it yourself. Is she still unwilling to move to the dormitory next door?"
"I mentioned it once, but she refused, so she didn't force her. After all, she is free to live wherever she wants. There are empty dormitories in our Department of Architecture. Our teacher also asked me that if I agree, I can change to a new dormitory... "
"Let's change. The dormitory of the Department of Architecture is closer to me. Hahaha. By the way, the walkie-talkie I mentioned last time is working. Didn't Teacher Xu come here this morning..."
"His assistance unit, the Third Radio Factory, has a lot of accessories there. The technical master there said, I can take whatever you like and pay the cost. Teacher Xu made a list for me. When I collect them all, I will refer to the technical manual and make it myself..."
"Okay, the radio that was repaired last time was also a part given by Teacher Xu..."
"He didn't give it to me, I replaced it, but he is an old mage. You can tell at a glance when you open the shell." Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go find my master."
After a while, several people came to the backyard. The empty space was cleaned and the ground was very tidy.
There is no need to spar with Xu Lang today, only a set of boxing techniques from him from beginning to end.
After a while, Qiu Huoming finally finished his fist, stood on the spot, and finished the exercise. After a while, the sweat on his forehead came out, and his whole body was steaming.
"That's right, next, you have to learn to hold back... One of the reasons why many people practice martial arts indiscriminately and harm their bodies is that they don't know how to hold back..." Xu Lang did not shy away from Zhao Jiamin and his group. In front of them, The explanation started on the spot.
Lao Jin took Zhao Jiamin aside and asked her about her studies. Lao Pan and Teacher Zhang had watched the fun and were not interested in the love between father and son, so they went to the front yard to look for his precious cat.
The wind kept blowing, and the clouds in the sky gradually thickened.
Lao Jin stopped asking questions. He looked around and suddenly said, "Lao Xu, let them go back to school first. It looks like it's going to rain today."
Xu Lang looked up at the sky, turned around and went into the utility room, and pulled out an oilcloth umbrella. This umbrella seemed to be quite old.
"Take the umbrella and go back first..."
Qiu Huoming took the umbrella and dropped it in his hand. The handle was still made of wood, painted with tung oil, and the surface was yellowish brown.
He went into the room and took his backpack, "Master, do you want to tell Uncle Pan and the others?"
"No, they don't know where they went. You hurry up, the rain is coming..."
Zhao Jiamin echoed: "Then let's go..."
Lao Jin waved his hand, his figure was thin, and his large coat swayed gently in the wind.
Zhao Jiamin turned away her eyes and walked side by side to the gate with Qiu Huoming.
Halfway through the journey, the rain came down, splashing up the dust on the ground, which was then suppressed. The heat that had finally accumulated disappeared as the rain slid down.
Qiu Huoming held this ancient umbrella and tried to tilt the umbrella towards Zhao Jiamin.
Old-fashioned umbrellas look bulky, and the umbrella surface is far from as big as they look. They are bound to be eliminated. Using two people together is really a bit of a waste of time.
Qiu Huoming raised his elbow and said, "I'll let you use it."
Zhao Jiamin thought for a while and reached out to hold him. Raindrops splashed from the ground onto her shoes. The legs of her trousers were wet, bringing a slight chill, but her elbows were hot. She lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look at the bright autumn flames. .
"Are your arms wet?" Qiu Huoming carefully tilted the umbrella again.
"No, the station is just ahead. Let's walk faster..."
"Yes." Qiu Huoming secretly glanced at her under the umbrella. The light was a bit dim on a rainy day, and the tawny umbrella surface was almost opaque, making the little girl look a bit colder.
Her gloves were at her elbows, and her fingertips were gently tugging on the sleeves of her shirt, feeling a slight chill on her hands.
The corners of Qiu Huoming's mouth raised, and the two of them quickened their pace.
Pedestrians on the street screamed and fled in all directions, and the platform in the distance was hazy in the rain.
Qiu Huoming heard her heartbeat, and her lips were a little dry. She used to be eloquent, but now she fell silent. Suddenly, she had an idea in her mind. If this road could not be completed, that would be fine...
Not long after, Zhao Jiamin said softly: "We're here..."
Unconsciously, he had arrived at the platform. The train he was waiting for had not yet arrived. There were a few people standing under the platform, hunching their necks to avoid the rain.
The rain was lighter than before, and the wind blew the raindrops lightly and swept them randomly onto people.
Provoking a cry of surprise.
Qiu Huoming stood upwind, firmly blocking Zhao Jiamin from his side.
Before long, the bus came.
The front and back doors opened at the same time. The person who got out of the car from the back door cursed and rushed into the rain...
Qiu Huoming escorted Zhao Jiamin to the car. When the old-fashioned oilcloth umbrella was folded up, it made a "creaking" sound like an old piece of wood before it was folded up. The umbrella had to be tied up immediately, otherwise it would fall apart at any time...
By the time he finished all this in a hurry, Zhao Jiamin had already paid for the ticket.
Rain was dripping from the tip of the umbrella. He followed Zhao Jiamin to the back row, where there was still a seat. Zhao Jiamin turned to look at him.
"Sit down." Qiu Huoming said immediately, reaching out and grabbing the horizontal bar above.
Zhao Jiamin sat down and said, "I'll take the umbrella."
Little girls at this time are not so delicate, and usually do things themselves if they can do it by themselves.
"No, it's too wet. I can just take it." Qiu Huoming put the umbrella on the ground. After a while, a puddle of water slid across the ground of the carriage.
Just as he turned his head, Zhao Jiamin touched his arm. She handed him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe your shoulders."
Only then did Qiu Huoming realize that his right shoulder was wet, and the water stains clung to his clothes, which were sticky and uncomfortable. He let go of his hand holding the horizontal bar, took the handkerchief, and simply wiped the water stains on his clothes. Read it again.
Then he handed the handkerchief back to Zhao Jiamin. Zhao Jiamin twisted it casually, and the water droplets dripped onto the ground of the carriage. The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Continue..." Zhao Jiamin handed over the wrung handkerchief.
"Oh..." Qiu Huoming took it.
After several attempts, the dampness on my shoulders lessened a little.
The handkerchief was unfolded by her, swinging up and down... Her fingers were slender and white. Qiu Huoming glanced at them and glanced away.
"Take a shower and change clothes when you get back, otherwise you will catch a cold." Zhao Jiamin ordered.
Qiu Huoming nodded, "You too."
"I didn't get caught in the rain..." Zhao Jiamin looked at Qiu Huoming and said, "Thank you for today."
"Why are you being polite to me? Your uncle is my uncle... We are relatives."
"That's right, your master is my uncle and can be considered a relative..."
Zhao Jiamin raised his head with a smile on his face, "Hello, relative, my birthday is December 12th, how about you?"
"On March 3, you have to call me brother..."
"Brother Huozi."
Qiu Huoming was stunned and looked down at Zhao Jiamin.
There was a slight blush at the base of her ears, her long eyelashes were gently fluttering, but there was a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Eh!" Qiu Huoming responded.
A heart seems to be dipped in honey, sweet and silky.
When I returned to school, the rain had stopped.
It was raining. It was only 5 o'clock and it was already dark.
Qiu Huoming sent her back to the dormitory, "Have a good meal tomorrow morning. I will pick you up at the door of your dormitory and we will go to the Canton Fair together."
"Ah."
"Hey, Amin, remember to take a hot bath when you go back."
"I know, you too."
Qiu Huoming watched her figure slowly walk away, then turned and walked quickly towards the East 2 dormitory.
When he returned to the dormitory, he was indeed alone. He fetched hot water and took a hot shower while no one was around.
Feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.
The wet clothes have been dried and washed together.
Wearing his underwear, he returned to the room briskly. As soon as he changed into clean clothes, the door was pushed open by Chen Xi.
"I heard that you took leave in the afternoon, and I thought you would be back very late..." Chen Xi smiled.
Behind him is Yang Shijun, "It's a pity that the Canton Fair only lasts for a few weekends. I can't wait to go every day..."
Qiu Huoming took out all the deposit slips from his backpack and put them in the drawer together with his nephew's small handprints.
While locking the door again, he responded: "Nothing happened today, right?"
"No, it went very smoothly. The people inside took good care of our brothers." Chen Xi stuffed the new money into the pillow case.
"It's time to eat, let's go." Yang Shijun put down his schoolbag, hung it on the bedside, turned around and said with his rice bag.
"Where's the little mosquito?" Qiu Huoming asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were rapid footsteps in the corridor, and after a while, Wen Yuanyi trotted in.
"I saw Brother Chen Xi and Brother Shi Jun through the window. They were running so fast that they couldn't catch up..." He breathed heavily, threw his schoolbag onto the upper bunk, and took off his rice bag.
"Let's go have a drink and some soup..."
Qiu Huoming smiled and picked up his lunch bag. This is one of the good things about his dormitory. He is active in eating and is a real worker.
"Hey, let me tell you, I went to my uncle's house today and his cat is about to give birth..." Qiu Huoming said.
"Add it!" Wen Yuanyi's little face smiled, "I really like cats..."
Chen Xi yelled: "When it grows up, rent it out to catch mice. It's okay for us to be on the second floor. We can't put any food in the dormitories on the first floor. It's so noisy at night..."
Yang Shijun said solemnly: "I was studying in the evening last night and came face to face with a big rat at the entrance of the corridor. It wouldn't let me, and I wouldn't let it..."
"What happened next?" Wen Yuanyi asked.
"Later..." Yang Shijun's face turned red, "Later, I turned around and ran away."
"Oh, you're afraid of mice!" Chen Xi suddenly realized.
"I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just afraid of mice..." Yang Shijun scratched his head and simply said what was in his heart.
Qiu Huoming looked at his good figure. Sure enough, a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
But having said that, there are indeed many rats in Yangcheng. The winter here is not cold, and the breeding of rats is not affected by the temperature, so this race can thrive.
I did see a mouse the size of a kitten in the corner a few times. If you saw it at first glance, it would be a bit intimidating.
Several people arrived at the canteen laughing and noisy, and as expected there were only a few people inside.
There were a lot of empty tables, and a few people ordered food and chose to sit by the window.
"I plan to make a few walkie-talkies..." Qiu Huoming said while eating in the cafeteria.
"What is that?" Yang Shijun asked.
He came from a rural area, and his village only had tweeters and radios. Later, when he went to the county town to study, he saw a tape recorder. The experimental classes for his freshman year were all about circuit disassembly and assembly, so he didn't understand the walkie-talkie thing, and it was very difficult. normal.
"Let's put it this way, a walkie-talkie is used to carry out language communication across the air and without any barriers within an effective range..."
"Is it just like a phone? That's not right, the phone is wired..." Chen Xi said.
Either today, just this much?
Hey, agree? Okay, okay, I'll dodge first.
