Chapter 89 Baby
Everyone sat down to eat watermelon, and Zhang Xinyi said: "Zhou Zhi, take out your treasures and show them to everyone."
"Let us first agree that we can only look at it but not take it."
"You're stingy." Ye Xin smiled and said, "You're really a treasure, aren't you?"
"How about everyone go to my room."
Zhou Zhi went to the kitchen to get a white porcelain plate and took them to his room. He also picked up a glass can bottle next to the big flower watering kettle and brought it to his room and placed it on his desk.
"What is that water bottle used for?" Zhang Xinyi asked.
"Uncle Yu is not downstairs, I am helping him water the flowers!"
"Pouring from the second floor to the first floor?"
"yes!"
"..."
"Don't worry about that." Zhou Zhi poured all the pebbles in the bottle into the porcelain plate: "Let's look at this first."
"Wow! Are these all gems?" Ye Xin's eyes were filled with little stars: "This is so beautiful!"
"You have to say it's a gem." Zhou Zhi squatted down, opened his bookcase, and took out his collection: "Those are agates found along the Yangtze River. Have you all heard of the Nanjing Yuhua Stone? This is what we have
Yuhua Stone in Jiachuan."
These pebbles are not as big as the Nanjing Yuhua Stone. The largest one is only as big as a thumb, and most of them are not as big as the knuckle of a little finger.
But it is the same type as Nanjing Yuhua Stone, and the colors are also extremely rich, including red, white, green, orange, and very few blue, purple, and yellow.
Every piece is crystal clear, and there are beautiful fold lines and small circles. Regardless of the color or pattern, they are all extremely beautiful.
"Is there this place beside the Yangtze River?" Ye Xin felt it was an eye-opener: "We don't know how many times we have been there!"
"It's gone now." Zhou Zhi took out a piece of obsidian-like glass: "I found this near the Rongshan gas well when I was in fifth grade. When I came back, I went to rummage through the piles of pebbles by the river, and found those
There are agates hidden in the pebbles."
"But it's not easy to collect these. Aren't there no classes every Tuesday afternoon at that time? I went to the riverside to turn over stones. Later, Yan Xiao, Fang Wenyu and others followed me to search. In one afternoon, each of them could only find one.
Two, sometimes four or five can be found at most.”
"I found most of them myself, and I exchanged some with them. I only found half a can in five years."
"Then let's go look for him sometime!" Ye Xin said.
"It's gone now." Zhou Zhi said: "The piles of small pebbles by the river now are made of big pebbles. There are no piles of small pebbles like before."
"That's it..." Ye Xin reluctantly put down the red agate in her hand: "It's really beautiful..."
"Shu Yi, come and take a look." Zhou Zhi noticed that Jiang Shuyi was a little quiet: "Don't be formal, our family is very free."
"Oh." Because the room was relatively small and the desks had just been surrounded, Jiang Shuyi was embarrassed to squeeze in.
"And these." Zhou Zhi took out the ores he collected.
"Is this gold?" Mu Ruyun was stunned when he saw a few pieces of golden things, and picked them up: "It's really heavy!"
"This is called fool's gold, meant to fool fools!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "It's actually a kind of pyrite."
After saying that, he picked up the compass and used his pointed toe to pull it on a piece of fool's gold a few times. Sparks popped out, and then handed it to Mu Ruyun: "You smell it."
Mu Ruyun put Fool Jin to the tip of his nose: "Well, it really smells like sulfur!"
"This is real gold." Zhou Zhi took out a glass tube from the ore box: "I found it in the sand."
After that, he took two more glass tubes: "This is mica, this is black iron sand."
The gold is just a little bit at the bottom in the glass tube. Mu Ruyun has never seen real gold. He turns the glass tube and looks at it carefully: "How much is this gold worth?"
"It looks like a lot." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, I went to the water plant laboratory and weighed it, and it only weighed 1.8 grams in total."
"You also have to consider the purity issue, so these only cost about eighty yuan."
"Eighty yuan for such a small amount? This is very expensive!"
"The effort is more expensive!" Zhou Zhi said: "This took me a whole summer vacation! Of course I did it while swimming."
"So these are really my treasures, and I won't change them no matter how much money I give."
"You still know how to play." Mu Ruyun looked at the fragments of a small wooden box with envy: "It's much better than playing around when we were kids."
"Are you all here?" Yang He's voice sounded at the door: "Hello, Lao Mu, and how are you, the beauties from Class 1."
"Explain clearly what an ordinary beautiful monk means!" Ye Xin immediately grabbed the words and counterattacked.
"You said it wrong, the beautiful girl, the beautiful girl from the liberal arts class." Yang He is an honest child, and what he just said was not meant to be a joke, and he was immediately at a loss what to do: "Yes... I'm sorry..."
"Haha, monk, you can't help but be funny." Ye Xin turned around and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, let's continue looking at the rocks, Shu Yi Xin Yi, do you think this area looks like a small forest..."
Zhou Zhi said: "Actually, these are just my efforts, and they are not very valuable to say the least. I heard that there are large stone beaches in the XJ and NMG Gobi, and those stone beaches are all covered with agates like this."
"Really?" Ye Xin asked, "Zhou Zhi, how do you know?"
"Zhou Zhi has a box of magazines, all of which are comic books." Zhang Xinyi said.
Zhou Zhi pulled out a large wooden box from under the bed, and when he opened it, he found a picture album with a colorful cover, which was the "Secret" he ordered.
The magazine "Mystery" is actually a collection of anecdotes from all over the world, various special popular science comics about geography, physics, astronomy, history, etc. They are all about aliens, flying saucers, Soviet round warships, World War II
Stories about the battle between the Japanese army and crocodiles in the swamp.
It should be said that the quality is quite good, the painting work is also exquisite, and it includes various styles. Zhou Zhi and Yang He both like to see it.
Zhang Xinyi loves to watch but is afraid of watching it, because after watching it, he always has nightmares, dreaming about those robot monsters and alien creatures on the magazine covers coming to catch him.
There have been more than 70 magazines collected here for more than six years. Zhou Zhi took out one of them and opened it to the page inside: "Look, here, the geological team's investigation of the XJ Devil City mentioned the Agate Sea."
"Do you even remember this?" Ye Xin asked curiously.
"How many times have I read it!" Yang He said that he also knew how to do this.
Several of them love reading, and once they picked up "The Mystery" they couldn't put it down.
Zhou Zhi said while collecting the pebbles: "Let's talk about business while we watch. As soon as this summer vacation comes, let's go to Fubao to play?"
"Okay! Go to my house first! Then go to Lao Mu's house!"
"How many days will it take? We need to have a plan, right?" Yang He asked.
"Lao Mu said that the road from Changzhen to the forest farm is quite fun..." Zhou Zhi touched his chin: "Otherwise, when we get to Fubao, we will rest at Ye Xin's house for a day, and then walk to Lao Mu and his forest farm.
Come back after playing for a few days."
"This is so fun!" Ye Xin applauded first: "I've never played that road before."
Mu Ruyun was a little stupid: "Then...it will take at least a day and a half..."
"A day and a half is called driving, not playing." Zhou Zhi said: "We bring pots, rice, flour, oil and salt, and we have a picnic every day. In three days, we play all the way from the town to the forest farm. How about it?"
"What should I do when I sleep at night?" Ye Xin was a little worried.
"Put up a tent! A big tent! But you can't tell your parents about this," Zhou Zhi said.
"You can also find farmers along the road." Mu Ruyun said: "This is not a problem. By the way, we made an appointment with Yan Xiao and Fang Wenyu last semester..."
"We must bring those two animals with us, otherwise it will be difficult for us to carry the rice, flour, oil, salt, pots and pans alone. Last semester, we also made appointments with three girls, He Yongmei, Xiong Jiao, and Feng Xueshan. In addition to He Yongmei, Shu Yi, Ye Xin, Lao Mu, you guys
I don’t know them, but they have very good personalities… How many of us are there?”
"Eleven." Jiang Shuyi said.
"Then let's tentatively decide on eleven." Zhou Zhi said: "It's still early anyway, I will slowly draw up a list of supplies. When the time comes...except for Lao Mu and Ye Xin, each of us will pay an activity fee of 20 yuan to purchase supplies.
,How about it?"
"What about coming back?" Zhang Xinyi asked.
"Come back and ask my dad to find the forest farm's car to take you out." Mu Ruyun thought this was nothing serious.
Jiang Shuyi and Zhang Xinyi thought that they would just take a car to Ye Xin's house first, then take a car to Lao Mu's house, and simply play around the two houses.
I didn’t expect that my careful planning would turn out like this. I have picnics every day and live in tents at night. It’s exciting to think about it.
After feeling excited and worried that their family would not agree, the two looked at each other and Zhang Xinyi spoke first: "Zhou Zhi, you have to go talk to my mother."
"Yeah." Jiang Shuyi also followed up: "You have to go and tell my mother."
Mu Ruyun suddenly felt bad again. What's the situation? Has the elbow taken care of both mothers?
Another mother's voice sounded outside the door: "Why are you guys hiding in there? What time is it? Didn't you say you have to go to night study after dinner?"
"Ah, right!" Zhou Zhi led his classmates out: "It's time to eat!"
Zhang Xinyi first greeted his grandmother and mother: "Grandma, auntie."
Zhou Zhi introduced to his mother and grandmother: "This is our squad leader, Lao Mu, and Mu Ruyun; this is Ye Xin. They were admitted to the county high school from Fubao Town, and they all studied very well."
"This is what Jiang Shuyi told my mother last time."
"Hello everyone." My mother said with a smile: "Shu Yi is the daughter of Jiang Qiao and Du Yufen? I guess she is very beautiful. Her eyebrows and eyes are just like your mother's!"
"My nose is like my dad's, thin and straight. I've passed all the good things on to you!"
Jiang Shuyi's face turned red with embarrassment when her mother saw her: "Hello, aunt...Hello, grandma."
Grandma was also very happy to see it: "They are all beautiful and good girls. Xin is a smart girl at first glance!"
Everyone knows that Ye Xin's temperament is indeed a smart person, but it is amazing to be able to see it at first sight.
Ye Xin also felt strange, but she was familiar with it, so she asked with a smile: "Then I will compare them all! Grandma, how did you tell?"
"What you tie is a thin hair tie. It's a skill that only a skillful hand can have. A good girl can also do acupuncture, right?"
