Chapter 225 Chapter 224 Touching the Monkey

According to Wan Xiangyang's view of love, Tang Zhitong felt that his union with Wang Jingwen was a scam! Wan Xiangyang only has one adult sister who needs support, but he has an old mother and two underage sisters!

It has to be said that Tang Zhitong has reaped the dividends of the times, otherwise it would have been impossible to climb up to Wang Jingwen.

This kind of marriage bonus is very limited. First of all, the parents of the higher spouse must agree with this concept. Secondly, it only lasts for more than ten years. Most of the rest of the time, it is about being "well-matched."

It's easy to live together if you're well-matched, but the consequence is that it's difficult to improve further...

The cicadas outside the window were calling summer. Tang Zhitong looked at the wood outside and wondered why he didn't deal with it.

Although these timbers were unsalable in the forestry, I had chosen them carefully for drying at that time. After they were shipped, they could be unpacked and used directly without the need to dry them again.

After bidding farewell to Wan Xiangyang, Tang Zhitong continued walking. He didn't meet Fangyuan again all day long, and he didn't know where he went.

After get off work, Tang Zhitong went home to cook, while Fengzhen raced against time to do her homework and even had to learn to ride a bicycle after dinner!

Fengzhen's problem of learning to drive gave Tang Zhitong a headache. Fengzhen was very smart and had good academic performance, but she did not make much progress in learning to drive.

Although Tang Zhitong repeatedly encouraged her while learning to drive, Fengzhen still swayed slowly and swaying left and right for three days in a row.

"Fengzhen, come here, let me have a few words with you first." After the meal, Tang Zhitong did not let Fengzhen clean up the dishes, but took his sister to the yard.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Fengzhen said without forgetting to glance at the dining table in the main room.

"Do you like the bicycle?" Tang Zhitong rubbed Fengzhen's head. She was a little sweaty. After a while, she had to let her sister take a shower after learning how to ride.

"Yes, I like it." Fengzhen nodded. In her memory, her brother liked to rub her head so hard that it rarely happened. It felt good.

"I see you were careful when you were learning to drive. Are you afraid of crashing the car?" Tang Zhitong smiled and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Well, I heard that bicycles are very expensive and you can't buy them without a ticket." Twelve-year-old Fengzhen was already very sensible and did not hide anything in front of her brother.

Tang Zhitong sighed. The children of the poor have become masters early. The so-called early masters only know how to do housework and work hard to make money. Their vision and knowledge are very limited. This limitation will follow the poor throughout their lives and even for generations to come. passed on to future generations...

"A bicycle is an object, a tool that improves commuting efficiency. Can you understand what I am saying?" Tang Zhitong sat down on the steps outside the gate, patted the side and motioned for Fengzhen to sit down.

"Yeah, I understand." Fengzhen smoothed her dress and sat next to her brother obediently, with her legs together, her hands crossed in front of her calf bones, and her chin resting on her knees.

"No matter how much you cherish your tools, they will break down sometimes. Tire punctures, rust, vibrations, etc. are not controlled by human factors. Do you understand?" Under the afterglow of the setting sun, Tang Zhitong glanced at his sister, who was wearing braids, a dress, and Cloth sandals, a young girl next door image.

The cloth sandals were made by Zhang Guifang overnight using the leftover fabric the sisters used to make dresses. They each had a pair. The two sisters liked them very much. They were in the same color as the skirts and looked particularly good together.

"Yes, I understand." Fengzhen somewhat understood what her brother wanted to say, and turned to smile at Tang Zhitong.

"The purpose of buying a bicycle is to serve you. You can't be cautious just because you're afraid of dropping the bicycle. You can't learn to let go, so what's the point of having a bicycle? It goes against the original intention of buying you a bicycle." Tang Zhitong I understood that my sister valued the bicycle too much and couldn't let it go, so I tried to persuade her.

"Brother, I understand. I will learn boldly tonight." Fengzhen solemnly promised Tang Zhitong.

"Yes, learn boldly. The slower you go on a bicycle, the harder it is to master the balance. Only when you ride it will you be less likely to fall. Jingying is very courageous, so she learned it in one afternoon." Tang Zhitong encouraged her after achieving her goal.

"Then I will try to learn it today." Fengzhen raised her head slightly, clenched her left hand into a fist, and promised Tang Zhitong. "As long as you have the courage to let go, you can learn it anytime. I'm not worried about you falling off the bike, I'm just worried about falling yourself." Tang Zhitong rubbed Fengzhen's head again. The little girl has reached the age of development, no wonder she is lying on her lap. .

As an elder brother, it is not appropriate for him to come forward with education in this area. He has to remind classmate Xiao Wang later and ask her to take care of him in this aspect.

After Tang Zhitong's guidance, Fengzhen made great progress in learning to ride a bicycle. After half an hour, she was able to ride with Tang Zhitong's support.

After the sun went down and the light dimmed, the brother and sister turned back home.

Tang Zhitong asked Fengzhen to take a bath first and asked classmate Xiao Wang: "Did you catch cicada monkeys when you were a child?"

"Is it a golden cicada? I've caught it, but it's very difficult to catch. I can't see clearly at night." Xiao Wang's childhood was similar to that of ordinary people's children, except that he had much better education and knowledge.

"Shall we try our luck tonight?" Tang Zhitong suggested.

"Okay, wait while I get the flashlight." Xiao Wang agreed enthusiastically, planning to relive the childhood fun with his man.

Cicada monkeys are the larvae of cicadas. They have many aliases, such as golden cicada, golden turtle, cicada turtle, etc. They are one of the few free snacks for rural children. They can be photographed at night, or they can be dug with a small hoe.

In this self-reliant "entertainment" activity, the post-70s, 80s, 90s, and even most post-00s have experienced it. The best time to touch the monkey is in the evening and night after the summer rain. If you are lucky, you can pick it up. A large bag can be stored in the freezer or in a coarse salt jar for up to a year.

When Wang Jingwen went to get the flashlight, Tang Zhitong told Zhang Guifang that he would not take his two younger sisters to play this time, and he had some serious matters to explain to classmate Xiao Wang.

Flashlight is the current name, and it will evolve into a flashlight in a few years.

Wang Jingwen bought this flashlight from Chunshu Hutong when she first got married. The reason was high-sounding: there is a bathroom there, so you can use it here at night...

A flashlight or oil lamp is a must-have for most night cyclists in urban areas. In the past few years, relevant departments would check whether bicycles were wearing night lights during night inspections.

There are roughly three types of night lights: flashlights, oil lamps, and electrical appliances.

Oil lamps are the cheapest, but their illumination range is limited and dazzling; flashlights are a little more expensive, but easy to use; electrical appliances are the most expensive, and these are scrap tires. You know, a tire is much more expensive than a set of flashlights!

The young couple walked to Dongbianmen, where there was a small forest.

On the way there, Tang Zhitong briefly talked about Fengzhen.

"Oh, don't worry. I've been wearing my little clothes for a while, and my mother also made menstrual pants. You're a grown man, so don't worry about it."
