59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

On this late afternoon in late June, a family moved into the yard next door, and two others moved out.

In a few days, the elementary school final exams will be over.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and there was a power outage, so the electric fan hanging above the main hall stopped again.

All the children hid in the warehouse pool. Even the old people couldn't stand the heat and sat in the empty space of the warehouse to play mahjong and write books.

Chen Hao has been a little scared these days. He feels that he might not pass the test this time. There is an 80% chance that he will not be able to save his butt. He even has no energy to swim.

"Hehe, second brother, watch me." Chen Li was watering him vigorously, completely unaware that Chen Jianjun had signed her up for a preschool training class at the sports school this morning.

School will start in a few days.

"Little sister, stop making trouble. I don't want to play with you now." Chen Hao sighed.

"Isn't it just that you didn't pass?" Fatty Wang swam over lazily and said, "It's okay, we'll repeat the grade together."

"Why should I repeat a grade? If I pass, my brother will buy me a bicycle." Chen Hao wailed.

"Is this true?" Fatty Wang looked at Chen Feng who was still carving stone in the pool.

"It seems to be the case." Chen Feng teased deliberately.

"Ah, brother, this is true. You can't forget it!" Chen Hao said seriously.

Chen Feng squinted and asked, "Can you pass?"

"Forehead!"

Chen Hao was so shocked by this sentence that he almost squatted into the pool.

"Da Guo, I want a bicycle too!" Chen Li ran over and said loudly.

"Yes, yes, if you score above 90 points in the test, I will buy you one." Chen Feng raised the standard significantly.

Chen Hao felt so happy!

"Okay!" The little girl didn't know what an unfair pie her brother had drawn for her, and she ate it with such relish.

"Pig, Xiaojie, I'm going to have a bicycle!"

"Lily, you are awesome!"

"Lily, 90 points is so hard to get." Little Zhuzhu whispered.

Her sister Zhu Lin was going to the Children's Palace with Zhu Li today, and didn't want to take Zhu Zhu with her, so she left her here.

It just so happened that Zhu Zhu also liked to play in the pool with Chen Li and the others.

That's Sister Lebusi!

Guo Chunhua came in from outside and said to the warehouse: "Xiao Feng, Xiao Jie, Xiao Li, come out quickly. The supply and marketing cooperative has received a batch of popsicles. I bought some. If I don't eat them now, they will melt."

"Ahh, popsicles!"

Chen Li, Li Jie, Chen Hao, Zhu Zhu and others ran out quickly.

When Chen Feng came out, he saw that each of them had a popsicle in their hands and were sucking on it happily.

Chen Hao and Fatty Wang were the greediest. They couldn't help but take a bite and eat with a loud smack.

"Xiao Feng, yours."

Guo Chunhua took out a popsicle from the towel with a smile.

Chen Feng took it, took a bite of the ice and put it in the water.

This popsicle is a real ice stick, probably made of water with a little sugar, which is very different from later generations.

At only one cent a stick, it's not expensive, and almost every family can try it occasionally.

"Whose child is this? He is so beautiful?"

"This is Zhuzhu. Her father is a pig farmer." Li Jie didn't know who told the nonsense and said with envy.

In her young mind, probably pig farmers eat pork every day.

Like her mother, she works in a supply and marketing cooperative and can eat snacks every day.

"No, my father is not a pig farmer, my father is a cadre." Zhu Zhu said anxiously.

"Haha, hello, cadre." Guo Chunhua said with a smile to comfort him.

"Auntie, do you have any ice cream?" Chen Feng finished the popsicle in just a few bites.

He still likes eating ice cream.

Ice cream is a bit expensive now. A popsicle is 1 cent, a cream popsicle is 5 cents, ice cream is 1 cent, ice soda is 1 cent, and ice cream is cents.

But compared to the future No. 1 Ice Cream Assassin, he is still inferior.

"I'm just a small shop here, so I don't sell this. If you want to eat it, go to Wangfujing Department Store, where they have refrigerators to freeze it."

my country's first refrigerator was produced by the Snow Flower Refrigerator Factory in Sijiucheng in 1956. It was a single-door refrigerator with a small freezer, and its cooling capacity and effect were not very good.

Even so, ordinary people can't buy it!

The output is too low.

According to the old man, it is not as good as his own refrigerator - a wooden box with ice cubes.

Moreover, there are frequent power outages during the day (factories get off work at night and electricity for daily use is restored), so the electric fan Chen Jianjun bought was rarely used.

By eleven o'clock the temperature was already very high.

"Bayi, go to Wangfujing to buy ice cream, one per person. Go by bike and be careful on the road." Chen Feng instructed, taking out five yuan from the backpack placed beside the pool and giving it to him.

"Okay, big brother!" Hu Bayi immediately got up and changed his clothes.

Chen Hao and Fatty Wang naturally would not miss this opportunity, but they didn't have bicycles.

Chen Li originally wanted to go, but then she felt it was too hot outside, so she shrank back inside.

Less than six minutes later, Hu Bayi came back.

To prevent the ice cream from melting, he also brought a few towels with him, but the ice cream had not melted when he came back.

"Grandpa, grandma, aunt."

Hu Bayi really gave each of them one. Fortunately, Jia Banggeng had a falling out with Chen Hao and was not in the yard, otherwise he could have shared one with them.

"Did you give one to Aunt Guo?" Zhou Qing asked.

"I just passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and it has been delivered." Hu Bayi replied.

"Bayi is still smart. If it were Chen Hao, he would probably forget it." Zhou Qing praised and belittled him.

Chen Hao was eating ice cream and felt like rolling his eyes.

Ice cream is naturally more delicious than popsicles. Even an old man can't help but admire how good life is now. At least during the Republic of China period, even wealthy families could not eat ice cream.

Although this thing was developed as early as 1550, it entered China in 1900 with the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance and quickly became popular among the aristocracy.

"1 cents a pop, it's still a bit expensive." Zhou Qing felt sorry for the money as he ate.

You can buy three or two taels of rice!

The old lady was eating ice cream and thought of freezing it, so she picked some grapes, washed them in the sink, and took them into the warehouse and cellar to freeze them.

After coming out, he said, "Bayi, take it out and eat ice grapes in the evening."

"Well, okay, grandma." Hu Bayi said happily.

Fatty Wang was a little envious: "Grandma, I can help you with things, too."

The old lady nodded and said, "You can do it, but you can't do anything related to eating, otherwise, I'm worried that you will eat it all."

"No way!" Fatty Wang swore, "I won't learn from Lily, or I won't be able to eat meat every night."

Oh my god, what a vicious oath!

Chen Hao smiled secretly.

Chen Li's eyes widened, very angry.

"Brother Fatty, I'm breaking up with you!"

"Well, I'm breaking up with you too!" Li Jie yelled.

"And me!" Zhu Zhu shouted.

"Oh, no, I was praising Lily for her intelligence." Fatty Wang argued.

A few days later, the school transcripts came out.

Chen Hao passed the exam with a thrilling score and was admitted to the fourth grade.

Fatty Wang is in trouble. He failed one subject and has to repeat a year of study.

Chen Feng beat him with fifty sticks.

"Brother, bicycle!"

"Okay, I get it."
