August has arrived in the blink of an eye, the last period of the winter, and the entire Yushu Village seems to be smoking and the heat is unbearable.

Everything seems to be going step by step, and life is passing day by day.

Dou Hongxia carried Xiao Ping An and Zhao Xueer to work in the fields, while Yun Xiaotang still herded cattle with her brother.

The sun was blazing in the sky, and Yun Xiaotang felt that her whole body was dripping with sweat. Because of the sweat, her body was still sticky, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Air conditioning, iced watermelon, ice cream, ice cream...

She wanted to eat it so much that a burning sensation rose from her throat to the top of her head.

At this time, there was no wind, the afternoon sun was extremely hot, and the exposed skin was all red.

"Sister, let me fan you."

Zhao Tian'er wiped the sweat from his head and waved the cattail leaf fan up and down vigorously in his hand. The wind blew in waves, but he still couldn't relieve the heat.

Yun Xiaotang looked around, then got up and took Zhao Tian'er to find a shade to sit under a tree, so that he could not only block some sunlight, but also stare at the grazing cows.

Some boys in the team who couldn't stand the heat took off their coats and plunged into the river. Of course, the river was now as dry as a stream. The water flow was slow and would reach the children's calves.

"Yeah~" A girl in the team screamed when she saw the boy taking off his clothes and exposing his upper body, and quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

My mother-in-law told me not to look at boys' bodies casually.

This...this is simply a hooligan act.

Some brave girls directly stopped them, "Hey, put your tops on, there are so many girls here, you--you are just acting like hooligans..."

The boys swimming in the river were unmoved and laughed out loud, "We are swimming in our own way, don't look at us."

The shameful girl was so angry that she stamped her feet and her face turned red.

Yun Xiaotang didn't notice the situation over there. She was so hot that she was a little slow and was in a daze.

Suddenly, her vision went dark, and a hand covered her eyes.

"Sister, don't look across the river, there are people over there..."

Zhao Tian'er didn't know what to say for a moment. He felt that he was a big boy and understood the difference between men and women, but he couldn't let those boys who took off their shirts taint his sister's eyes.

Sister, so cute.

When Yun Xiaotang came back to her senses, she could still hear the sound of arguing not far away, and she probably knew what was going on.

She is not interested in a bean sprout-like figure.

Taking off Zhao Tian'er's hand covering her eyes, Yun Xiaotang responded obediently, "Yeah, brother, I won't look over there."

After saying that, she lowered her head slightly and stared at the weeds under the tree, then raised her head and looked left and right, and suddenly found weeds that looked like "hair needles" on the grass a few steps away.

"Mao Zhenzhen" is a kind of silky grass that cows particularly like to eat. It looks like needles, with a thin and straight tip. When you peel off the stems and leaves, you will find an off-white silky flocculated inner core. This is edible. of.

It still tastes sweet, especially the tender ones, which taste better.

Yun Xiaotang pursed her lips and smiled, remembering the happy days she spent every summer at her grandmother's house in the countryside. She went up to the mountains to pick fruits, and went down to the river to catch and grill fish. The days were beautiful.

Instantly, she didn't feel so hot anymore, got up and started searching for woolen needles in the grass.

Hair needles are hidden in the grass and are not easy to find.

Yun Xiaotang squatted in the grass and searched for a while before picking a small handful. Although it was only a small handful, she was very happy and felt a sense of satisfaction from harvest.

Persevering her efforts, she continued to turn over the grass, searching for traces of woolen needles.

At this time, she saw a large bush of weeds in front of her, and there were quite a few needles there. She didn't pay attention to her surroundings, and walked straight forward.

The small body shuttled across the grass without anyone noticing.

Zhou Nanyue was lying on the grass, his forehead covered with sweat. After enjoying the air conditioning in his previous life, now that he was a child, he really couldn't stand the weather.

It's really too hot.

Seeing other boys taking off their shirts and swimming in the river, his reason and pride prevented him from such behavior.

He just wanted to hurry up to the end of work time so that he could go to the village well to pick up a bucket of water and go home to take a cold shower.

Nowadays, the only thing that can cool down the village is the well.

The well is deep and the water inside is refreshing and cool even in summer.

Every evening, many young people who can't stand the heat carry buckets of water from the well, and then pour the well water directly from top to bottom.

After buckets of cool well water were poured down, it didn't feel so hot.

"Hey, I found it! Wow, there are so many."

At this moment, a childish voice interrupted his thoughts.

Following the sound, I looked over and saw a little girl holding a handful of grass in her hand. Her little body was still squatting on the grass, playing with the weeds and pulling out a few from time to time.

He looked back indifferently, but the little girl was getting closer and closer to him.

Until the little girl squatted on the grass next to him, pulling up weeds, and he turned his head and met the girl's eyes.

Her eyes were as big and as wet as a deer, and when she looked at them, his shadow was all in them.

Yun Xiaotang only remembered looking for the hair needle, but she didn't notice anyone beside her.

Now, when she met that person's eyes, she smiled. She remembered this little boy.

He seems a bit withdrawn.

"Hey, I'm looking for a hair needle. Here, this is it——"

As he spoke, Yun Xiaotang pointed at his side.

Zhou Nanyue looked sideways and saw the hair needles in the grass, which were suppressed by his side.

His eyes wandered over the little girl's expectant face. He stood up, moved away, and sat on the other side.

Yun Xiaotang smiled and thanked her, and happily pulled out the hair needles. The small handful of hair needles she held before turned into a large handful of hair needles, and she had all the hair needles in one hand.

If you can't hold it, you have to hold it with both hands.

It's almost there, I can't pick any more.

Yun Xiaotang stood up and felt that her legs were numb from squatting.

At this time, Zhao Tianer called her, "Sister, what are you doing?"

She responded and walked towards her brother.

After taking a few steps, she stopped again, turned around and walked towards Zhou Nanyue, took a small handful of woolen needles from her hand and handed them to him.

"Brother, here is a hair needle for you. The core inside is edible."

Zhou Nanyue looked at the little girl in front of him with confusion. Isn't this what cows eat?

Yun Xiaotang didn't see the doubtful look in the little boy's eyes, thinking that he didn't know that this thing was edible. So, she put the hair needle in her hand on the grass, took one and opened it and put in the white and tender silk wadding.

Chewing in the mouth.

"Look, this is how you eat it. It's sweet."

After demonstrating how to eat it, she picked up the hair needle again and put the small handful she had separated into Zhou Nanyue's hand. She turned around and flew towards Zhao Tian'er.

Zhou Nanyue looked at the weeds in his hands, and the happy voice of the little girl could still be heard in his ears.

"Brother, look, this is the hair needle I found. Try it. Is it very sweet?"

"Hmm, this is sweet."

Suddenly, he sneered, so what does the cow eat?

Nowadays, you can eat whatever comes into your mouth, regardless of whether it is eaten by humans or animals.

Sitting on the grass, Zhou Nanyue peeled off a hair needle and put the core into his mouth.
