middle of the road

Chi Yu took Cheng Ying and Cheng Le to the mall, bought a small cartoon trolley case, and put their clothes and snacks for them, Cheng Yang's clothes, toothpaste, toothbrush and other odds and ends, he helped him put them away I'm in my box.

Because the driver’s license has not been completed for one year, they can’t get on the expressway. In order to avoid traffic jams, they set off very early that morning. It usually takes two or three hours. Today, if the road conditions are good, it may be a little more than four. If it is early, they can still get there. Make your own lunch.

Cheng Ying and Cheng Le were sitting in the back. At first, they were excitedly leaning on the edge of the car window to look out. It was their first time traveling, and they were full of freshness. However, they both collapsed after less than an hour of excitement. With the back of the chair, Cheng Ying fell asleep on his lap.

Cheng Yang was sitting on the co-pilot with his head facing out the window. Chi Yu was about to ask him what he was looking at, but when he called him twice but there was no response, he realized that even he had fallen asleep. He sighed and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. It was a little late, and the song that was playing on the radio was also turned down.

Passing through the city on the way, Cheng Yang took Cheng Ying and Cheng Le down to the bathroom, Chi Yu bought some McDonald's set meals and brought them up, Fu Jin called him at this time and asked him how to arrange the holiday.

"Go back to my hometown." Chi Yu said, before he left, he wanted to ask him about it, but he was afraid that he would really come after asking.

"Okay." Fu Jin's voice sounded a little listless, "I wanted to go to find you, but I'm almost bored to death at home."

"I did not go out to play?"

"Short, I'm too hot and I'm not in the mood, long, too long and I don't have time." Fu Jin sighed, "I have to make up lessons at night, and I will be in my third year of high school next year. Can you believe it, my mother has already started teaching I'm counting down, and I'm still playing a fart."

In fact, Fu Jin's grades have always been good. In the No. [-] Middle School, he can almost maintain the upper-middle level. The subjects are relatively average. Although he can't compare with him every time, he is higher than Cheng Yang.

"When are you coming back?" Fu Jin asked.

"A week later." Chi Yu said.

"Why is it so short this time? I thought you didn't come back until school started."

Chi Yu vaguely gave a reason, Fu Jin didn't ask any more questions, saying that when he came back, we would go to have a barbecue together in the evening. It was also a holiday after all, so it couldn't be wasted. Chi Yu agreed, hung up the phone, and saw Cheng Yang Bringing Cheng Ying and Cheng Le back.

Chi Yu distributed the McDonald's to them, and finished a hamburger in two or three bites, and was ready to continue on the road.

Cheng Yang asked for some ice cubes, wrapped them in a towel, and tied them on his wrists. Chi Yu looked at it and smiled, saying that it was all right, but he was relieved in his heart. It seemed that Cheng Da's strength had finally dissipated.

It was just after one o'clock in the afternoon when we got there, and the sun was a bit harsh. Chi Yu gave Cheng Yang the keys and asked him to take them into the house, and he backed the car into the garage.

He kept telling him that it was in the countryside before, and Cheng Yang thought it was the kind of square two-three-story small building that he often built, but the house in front of him was definitely not what he imagined. ordinary.

There is a large courtyard in front of the main house. In the corners, stones of various shapes are piled up in a layered manner. Many ditches are made in the middle, and some small water lilies are planted, as well as some hydroponic plants that he can’t name. Underneath were koi carp, big and small. Hearing the sound of footsteps, they all gathered and swam towards them. Cheng Ying and Cheng Le ran over immediately, squatted there and stretched their necks to watch.

The fence on the other side of the yard is covered with vines and moons, and the big and big flowers are in full bloom. The red and green complement each other, accompanied by the singing of cicadas, embellishing the whole surrounding environment with summer vitality. Chi Yu came over with a box, "Why don't you go in?"

"Is there someone cleaning it all the time, here?" Cheng Yang asked.

"My grandfather hired someone to design the yard as a whole, and he made all the details, including those plants." Chi Yu took the key from him and opened the door. "He used to take care of it himself. , Later he and my grandmother both left, so I hired someone named Uncle Li, but I asked him not to come over this week."

Cheng Yang followed him into the room and called Cheng Ying and Cheng Le back.

"I'll show you around later when the sun goes out." Chi Yu went to turn on the air conditioner in the living room, and asked Cheng Ying and Cheng Le if they were still hungry. Uncle Li should have prepared something in the refrigerator. "

Both of them were full, and stood there respectfully, but their eyes couldn't help looking around, full of curiosity about everything in the room.

Chi Yu went to get a bottle of juice for each of them, smiled, "Go to bed first, and I'll take you out to play when I get up in the afternoon."

He asked Cheng Yang, Cheng Yang nodded, and Chi Yu took them upstairs. There were three rooms upstairs, all cleaned.

Chi Yu first settled Cheng Ying and Cheng Le in the opposite room, then he came back, pushed Cheng Yang into his own room, "Go to sleep, I don't think you can keep your eyes open."

Cheng Yang sweated a little when he was standing outside, he went in to take a shower, and when he came out Chi Yu had already come up from the downstairs after washing, and brought him a bottle of water to put on his bedside.

Cheng Yang fell asleep not long after lying down.

At first, Chi Yu felt a little hot when he hugged him, but when the temperature of the air conditioner came up later, he couldn't feel it anymore after covering the bed with a sheet.

After sleeping until five o'clock in the afternoon, Chi Yu woke up first, and Cheng Yang was still sleeping. He went to the opposite side to look, and found that Cheng Ying and Cheng Le had woken up at some time. He went downstairs to look for it, and saw The two of them were squatting by the small pond watching the fish.

"Your brother said that you can't swim, there is a river there, do you want to learn?" He stood at the door and looked at them.

Cheng Le nodded, and Cheng Ying followed suit. When I bought the suitcases last time, I bought swimsuits and life buoys for them. Chi Yu asked them to bring them all. He went up to call Cheng Yang, but no one woke up after calling for a long time. Later, he simply got sleepy and threw the blanket over his head and ignored him. Chi Yu helped him turn up the temperature of the air conditioner, didn't insist anymore, and took Cheng Ying and Cheng Le out the door.

There is a river next to it, it is very clean, you can see the tiny fish fry under it, and it is under the sun for a whole afternoon, people going down at this time will not feel too cold, Chi Yu first taught them how to breathe, Cheng Le is very smart, He learned it quickly, and after trying a few times, he found the trick. Chi Yu asked him to hold on to the swimming ring and start bouncing in a small area.

Not long after, he saw Cheng Yang walking towards this side, Cheng Ying and Cheng Le were almost soaked in the water, too long time is not good, Chi Yu told them to let them go up first, go back and take a bath After taking a bath, Uncle Li put ice cream in the refrigerator and asked them to eat it by themselves.

Cheng Yang dried them both with a towel, and there was a small vegetable field across from Chi Yu's house, "Go, don't eat too much."

After they left, Chi Yu swam to the shore, "Bibi?"

"I won't compare with you." Cheng Yang sat down, picked grass at random, and shook his head.

"Why, I'm afraid you can't compare to me." Chi Yu said with a smile.

Cheng Yang was not provoked by him, and continued to sit on the shore. The wind in the evening was a bit hot and not cool, but he felt very comfortable.

He narrowed his eyes and slowly fell back on the grass.

Chi Yu went over and tugged at him, "Get up, the ground is full of worms."

"I'm not afraid of bugs," Cheng Yang said.

"Damn." Chi Yu smiled, pulled his arm hard and fell backwards.

Cheng Yang was unprepared, he was taken by his sudden strength without even a buffer, and fell straight into the river like this, the splash of water made him unable to open his eyes for a long time, he wiped his face, After pushing Chi Yu, Chi Yu laughed childishly as he patted the water by the water.

Cheng Yang took off his shirt and threw it back to the shore, put on a pair of underpants, and swam forward quickly. Chi Yu quickly caught up after realizing it.

It has to be said that Cheng Yang's explosive power is a bit amazing. Just by turning around, he had already swam five meters away. Yang deliberately slowed down and paused for a second or two before he caught up.

Both of them had a good meal when they stopped.

"You spent more energy than me before, so it's a tie," Cheng Yang said.

"Just treat it as you stepping down the steps for me." Chi Yu smiled and swam towards him, "Another day I..."

Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed, he grabbed Cheng Yang's shoulder, and quickly started to jump towards the shore, "Quick, quick!"

Before Cheng Yang had time to see what was happening around him, he was yanked aside desperately. At this moment, he had seen what is truly amazing explosive power. He didn't move anything, just floating there. Chi Yu was able to hug him and swim back at a faster speed than before. When he swam to the shore, he picked him up and threw him ashore first. Then he climbed up and fell face to face. on him.

Cheng Yang pushed him, but didn't push him away. He looked up into the river and saw a little green snake swimming in the opposite direction at a faster speed than them. With a lot of effort, the speed has been raised a few gears.

Cheng Yang: "..."

Cheng Yang sighed and looked at the sky, not knowing how to describe the feeling at this moment, "No poison."

"I know it's not poisonous." Chi Yu was panting like a dog, unable to complete his sentence, "...but it's poisonous when it grows like that!"

Cheng Yang's frightened heart beats too fast and Chi Yu's is close to each other, beating crazily, as if he has experienced a narrow escape, but in fact, the enemy is just a mollusk that makes someone afraid, thin The length may not be as good as noodles.

He closed his eyes and couldn't help laughing.
