First dawn

After the innovation project competition, for a long time, Yi Xiao was restless whether it was text messages or QQ messages.People from the previous school kept contacting him in various ways, first greeting him and his mother in a rambling manner, then talking about the latest exam, and finally throwing out the ultimate purpose of the call, wanting Joe Sui's contact information.

"Unfamiliar, no, I don't know." Yi Xiao, who had answered three calls of the same type in a row, felt a sense of anger in his heart. When the ring rang, he didn't even look at the number, and threw three answers to the opposite party.

"What a mess." Qiao Jue on the other end of the phone didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's you." Yi Xiao's tone was obviously cheerful, "It's okay, I just answered a few sales calls, tell me."

"It's nothing serious, I just want to tell you that we won the first prize in the competition, there are two first prizes, and one is a team from No. [-] High School, but it's not Chen Zining and the others." , I guess you didn’t see it, so I called to tell you.”

The two chatted a few words about the game and ended the call.

The announcement in the QQ group of the second group was the news of the award. Qiao Jue had an unconscious smile on his face when he saw the person with Brother Xiaosa's profile picture appearing in the group immediately after hanging up the phone.In fact, it is entirely possible for the other party to read the announcement by himself, but he can't wait to tell the other party the joy of winning the award as soon as possible.

what's wrong with me.

Qiao Jue looked at the phone in his hand in a daze.

In April in the world, the peach blossoms and willows are green, the sky is dyed light blue, the clouds are like catkins, and the sky is like a dream. Lianxing can be regarded as having a few strands of the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River. The river in April is as clear as a mirror, and you can see the fish swimming in the water. The light of the sky and the shadows of clouds poured into the water, and after some turmoil of the flowing water, it shattered into a boat of clear dreams.Qiao Jue rode his bicycle across the Lianhe Bridge in April, leaving the fragmented and mottled light and shadow on the bridge deck behind him.

Qiao Jue parked his bicycle beside Chengnan Station, Yi Xiao stood up from under the awning of the station, and waved to Qiao Jue from a distance.

The Ching Ming holiday is a good season for outings. Everyone in the second group likes to have fun, and to catch up with the joy of winning the competition, the six people in the second group plan to take a stroll in the famous ancient town near Lianxing County.

The ancient town is neither far nor near, and there is no direct bus, so you can only take a taxi from the south of the city. There are many private taxis that linger near the south of the city station all the year round, specially picking up the work to and from the ancient town.

Guo Da hailed a taxi and negotiated the price with the driver. Under the driver's shocked gaze, several people squeezed into a small taxi.Mu Qingwei snatched the front row, leaving an empty seat in the back row to Jiang Wenyan, and the remaining four boys had to squeeze me and I squeeze you, and got into the car with difficulty.

Bao You was pushed to the window by Guo Da, and stuck to the window, his facial features were almost squeezed flat.

Bao You said vaguely: "Ho...ju... oh... (so crowded)"

Qiao Jue couldn't bear to see it any longer, and moved a little to the left, barely making room for Bao You. Qiao Jue was speechless: "Why don't we take two cars..."

Driver Master: "I also want to know..."

"Everyone is coming up." Mu Qingwei, who was sitting in the front row, turned her head and smiled, "You squeeze together, it will take about 40 minutes."

Qiao Jue moved to the left again, Bao You had enough space this time, and barely sat down, the space in the car was too small, Yi Xiao felt that Qiao Jue was close to him, separated by Siyue wore a thin shirt, and her arms were tightly pressed against Qiao Jue's waist.

Yi Xiao's gaze became deep and deep like this. Once there is a sign of thinking, it will be out of control.

The space inside the taxi is really small. I don’t know why Qiao Jue always feels uncomfortable. He always feels that there is a bunch of eyes on his back all the time. Qiao Jue can’t help but turn his head. When they met, they floated apart.

Each has his own thoughts.

Qiao Jue sighed secretly.

After being crowded for more than 40 minutes, everyone finally breathed fresh air again. What was presented in front of them was a different scene. The black and white buildings stretched all the way to the horizon, and the blue-gray stone road meandered to an unknown distance. Clear, reflecting the sky, the awning boats in the flowing water of the south of the Yangtze River are swaying, and the green pennies prop up a complicated dream.

It's like walking into a long-standing ink painting.

"It's my first time here, I'm a little excited." Jiang Wenyan said.

"Wow!" Guo Da rushed forward excitedly as soon as he jumped out of the car, "Rice dumplings, so many rice dumplings!"

Yi Xiao's eyes are also bright. This is a famous ancient town near Lianxing County. The most distinctive feature is that besides the local Jiangnan scenery and gray-and-white buildings, there is also a whole street of rice dumpling shops.It's past the time for breakfast, but every breakfast shop is open. Mu Qingwei's hometown is in this ancient town, so she is familiar with the route of the town, so she immediately acts as a tour guide for everyone, and picks a breakfast shop. He led Guo Da and Bao You in first.

"Come on, come on!" Jiang Wenyan waved excitedly and took a seat by the window in the store.

The dim sum has already been fried. Mu Qingwei stood in front of the stove at the stall and gave a list of dim sum names. The aunt in the shop took a few ordinary household small pots with patterns, filled the dim sum, and gave it to Everyone came to the table.

There is a bowl of soy milk in front of everyone. The soy milk is hand-ground in the shop, with peanuts added. The sweetness is accompanied by the strong aroma of peanuts. The desserts on the plate are not only the rice that Yi Xiao and Qiao Juan like. Dumplings, as well as common spring rolls, glutinous rice cakes, sesame balls, etc.

Yi Xiao picked up the rice dumplings and took a bite before he realized why people in Lianxing County were so obsessed with and praised the rice dumplings in this town. The rice dumplings here are different from those in Lianxing County. Crispy and mellow, the fried golden rice dumpling skin is not greasy at all. The dumpling filling is filled with shrimps, finely chopped shallots and minced ginger are added, and the bean flour paste in the filling is also adjusted just right. Great pleasure for the palate.

In addition to rice dumplings, other dim sums are also delicious. Only after trying it did Yi Xiao know why the breakfast in this ancient town is quite famous. Qiao Jue likes the glutinous rice cake here very much. There is minced meat in the middle of the glutinous rice. Coat it with a layer of flour, walk around in the oil pan, take a bite while it is hot, and feel the aroma of minced meat lingering on the tip of your tongue.

The few people had already had a full meal in the breakfast shop before seeing the scenery of the ancient town. After finishing all the dim sum on the table, the six people slowly moved out of the shop.

The afternoon sun in April was just right, shining on the old bluestone slabs, blurring the faint light and shadow on the ground. Several people walked aimlessly along the slate road, and they felt comfortable.After entering the life of the second year of high school, the college entrance examination is gradually approaching, and the schoolwork is gradually becoming tense. Too many times, the students are overwhelmed by the exams and homework. For the six people in the second group, the most rare thing is the afternoon sunshine Next, such a long bluestone road.

"Going to take a boat?" At the end of the Qingshiban Road, there is a stone bridge. The long bridge is like a rainbow, and it is erected obliquely on the river. On both sides of the small river, there are gray and white buildings, and the doors of many buildings are opened by the water. , Open the door and you can see the sky reflected in the water outside the house.

"Go, go, go!" A group of people walked towards the ferry.

The scenery of the ancient town is not inferior, but the popularity is not as good as Wuzhen and Xidi. It is the Ching Ming holiday, but there are not many tourists at the ferry, and many boats are parked. daily life.

"Hello, Uncle Zhang, I'll bring my friends to take the boat." Mu Qingwei greeted the people on a small boat.

"Hey, isn't this the little girl of the Mu family, come back to play." Uncle Zhang supported the penny and rowed the boat over, "It's good to take the boat, uncle will give you a discount."

The black-topped boat is not big, and with the punters, it can only carry two people. Mu Qingwei and Jiang Wenyan boarded Uncle Zhang's boat, and other boats came to solicit business. Guo Da, who was in the team, took Qiao Jue's wrist and boarded a rickety boat.

"Sit tight, it's the first time you come to town." The penny pushed the boat away from the mirror-like river, and the uncle who punted the boat smiled, "Boys, sit in the tent, there are benches, or you Sitting on the stern of the boat, there are not many tourists today, so I might as well take you around the waterways of the whole town to see the scenery of our whole town."

Qiao Jue and Yi Xiao thanked the uncle who was punting the boat, bent down and got into the tent. The stool was small, but it was just enough for two people to sit on. Sit up and sit down, watch the clear water waves slowly disperse to the surroundings as the boat advances, the scenery along the river is slowly retreating, more and more white walls and gray tiles come into view, and light pink petals float in the water, along the way. Holding the penny, swim into the clear river water, and swim with the fish.

The boat swung its penny and turned into a narrow river channel. It took a different route from Mu Qingwei Guo Da and the others. The punter intentionally left the surrounding scenery to the tourists, and just focused on punting the boat without talking much. Qiao Jue and Yi Xiao sat at the stern of the boat, lowered their heads slightly, and could see their own reflections in the water being rippled away.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River is quiet and elegant. Even the conversations of passers-by on the shore can be regarded as soft-spoken. The ink painting scroll unfolds along the route. Qiao Jue closes his eyes and takes the scenery in front of him into his heart.

The whole world slows down, and at that moment, it seems that you are already outside the world, with the scenery you want to see in front of you, and the people you want to see around you. If eternity is such a picture, it is worthwhile to stop here.

The boat turned into another waterway, the sky was open and the water was clear, Qiao Jue was slightly taken aback, Yi Xiao's hand was silently covering his, and the temperature of the other's palm was transmitted to his open hand. The palm of his hand slowly and firmly soaked into the bottom of his heart.

Sky light and cloud shadows, white walls and gray tiles, pennies blowing in the wind, fish swimming up their heads, thousands of pictures turned into countless lights and shadows reflected in the bottom of my heart, and finally all melted away, leaving only the faint temperature.

The two of them didn't speak any more, as if immersed in the scenery of the ancient town, the distance was getting closer before they knew it, this waterway was very quiet, it seemed that there was only this narrow black-covered boat left in the whole world, It seems that every place in my heart can be kissed by the sun.

"I……"

"that……"

The two opened their mouths at the same time, and looked at each other in astonishment.

"Hey! Come down!" The boat turned a corner, and someone shouted from the shore, "I'm waiting for you, your boat is the slowest hahaha."

The clasped hands separated silently. Qiao Jue looked at his left hand, inexplicably nostalgic for the temperature just now.

Mu Qingwei and the other four were at the ferry, waving at them. The spring breeze from the willows brushed through their hair, and the smell of green grass and soil on the shore lingered around the two of them. Everything they saw and felt just now seemed like a dream.

Nanke Yimeng.

Nanke Yimeng?
