Chapter 42 The Covenant of the Stars

When I arrived at the door of my house, I saw it was locked. My brothers had already gone out to play.

I put away the pigweed, filled a basin of water, washed my hands and face. After cleaning up, I opened the cupboard, took out the food left for me by my brothers, and put it on the table. I bent down, squatted down, and opened the stove door. A burst of soot followed the flames.

Go straight up.

Wait for the soot to disperse, take off the ear pot and put it on the stove, then pour the food into the pot one by one, scoop some water into it, and cover the pot lid. When the water boils, open the pot lid.

, stir it a few times with a spatula, then take the pot off the stove and close the fire door.

Take out the bowls and chopsticks, shovel the rice and start eating.

After eating, there was nothing else to do. Thinking of going to see the stars at night, you can't go there in such a dirty way, right? So I found a plastic bag, put my shirt, underwear, and shorts in it. Then I took another

I took some waste paper, poured some washing powder into it, wrapped it and put it in my trouser pocket. Then I took some change and went out.

First I went to the street and was going to find a barber shop to get my hair cut. After looking at several shops, I didn’t like it. I felt that it was not as good as the Xianxian Barber Shop that I often went to before. Finally, I walked into a barber shop that looked relatively clean.

.I got a haircut and went to the river.

When we came to the river, we found that there were quite a lot of people taking baths. Adults and children were all having a great time washing in the river. The children were bathing naked in the shallow water area on the bank, while the adults were washing in the deep water area. Those who can swim

You can swim freely, and those who can't swim can paddle a few times in the "safe zone". In fact, the so-called "safe zone" is the area where you can stand without your nose being flooded by the river water.

I am the kind of person who "dare not" swim. So I consciously went to the bottom of the barrage. This is actually a "paradise". When the barrage was built, the bottom of the dam was treated with cement, so it is not easy for sediment to accumulate.

In fact, this is not the point. The point is that if there is no sediment, there will be very little broken glass, which is relatively safer and less likely to scratch your feet.

On one side of the barrage is a canal. The intercepted river water flows downstream from this canal to irrigate tens of thousands of acres of farmland. On the side of the canal near the river is a very wide and smooth cement surface. After taking a bath, lie down here.

It is very comfortable to bask in the sun. In addition, it is also a good place to wash clothes.

I took off my clothes and pants and jumped under the dam to take a shower while wearing my underwear.

Oops, my underwear! It was actually washed off by the impact of the river. It was really embarrassing. I wiped the water from my face with my hands and carefully searched for my underwear in the river. Wow, two pieces of underwear came out.

Three meters away. You have to hold on tight, otherwise it will be carried under the water by the waves and it will be difficult to find it.

I aimed at the direction of my underwear, dived, and headed towards my underwear as quickly as possible. Fortunately, fortunately, my underwear was not washed away in the end. I quickly put it on, and then slowly swam to the shore. I was extremely nervous.

In fact, no one will pay attention to you at all. In fact, it is normal to wash off your underwear and slippers after taking a shower.

When I got to the shore, I took out the washing powder and put the dirty clothes and pants in the ditch to get them soaked. Then I took them up and sprinkled them on the clothes, rubbed them and put them away. Then I went for a swim in the river and got up to wash the clothes.

After washing, wring out the water and spread it out to dry on the grass on the shore. Continue to swim. When tired from swimming, I lie down on the shore to bask in the sun. When I have had enough sun, I go swimming again.

The day was comfortable. Time passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, the sun had already set to the west.

Pick up the clean underwear, find a "hidden" place, change out the wet underwear, wash it with the remaining washing powder, wring it out and put it away. Put on the shirts and shorts you brought. Put away the clothes and pants that are hanging out to dry.

I got up and put it in a plastic bag. I held the wet underwear in my other hand and walked home along the path.

When I got to the door, I saw that "General Iron was still holding the door" and my brothers hadn't come back yet.

When I opened the door, I saw an envelope in the corner of the door, which felt a little strange.

I quickly picked it up and took a look. It was an ordinary envelope with no stamps or signature. It just said: Yimu (personally).

I hung my clothes to dry on the clothesline in the courtyard. I sat on the eaves and tore open the envelope. The beautiful words gradually came into my eyes.

"Ichiki: I'm leaving. I originally planned to go see the stars with you tonight. But my family came to pick me up. I'm in a hurry and I have to leave soon. I can only talk about many things until later. It's my birthday

It's October 2nd, according to the Gregorian calendar. I think you're actually not happy either. You seem to have a lot of things on your mind, and I can't help you with anything. Take care of yourself, and remember that I will miss you from afar, Miki."

I looked carefully several times, yes, Miki is gone.

She left before she had time to say goodbye.
