Zhou Zhi wanted to help his grandma up, but his mother said, "I'll do it, I'll do it. You go ahead and stir-fry the vegetables. Let's start the meal quickly."

Ye Xin said: "Let me help."

"There's nothing to help. Just come and see the monk." Zhou Zhi said, "Old Mu, there is beer and Coke in the refrigerator."

It's very simple with just one hot dish, and by the time it was served, my mother and grandmother were already chatting with everyone.

Several girls also had small sachets in the shape of bats and rice dumplings, and Lao Mu got a pair of insoles.

Yang He didn't. Grandma provided the baby with an annual contract.

"Come, we want to eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival. Let me tell you, these rice dumplings are not available outside now."

The rice dumpling was very big and didn’t have any sugar. When everyone opened the leaves, they discovered that the rice dumpling inside actually had meat fillings.

Grandma was still a little worried: "I asked you to do this, try it and see if it tastes good."

Zhang Xinyi picked a chopstick and put it in his mouth: "Ah! It's delicious! Elbow, what kind of rice dumpling is this?"

"These are meat rice dumplings, invented by southerners. The white lines are sauce meat and ham rice dumplings, and the black lines are salted egg yolk sausage rice dumplings."

"It smells so good!" Ye Xin praised: "Why is it so soft and waxy?"

"Time." Zhou Zhi was a little proud: "Zongzi needs to be cooked over low heat for a long time before it is really delicious. The normal cooking time in Jiachuan is too short. It takes forty minutes to eat it until it is just cooked."

"I cooked these rice dumplings for six hours to let the glutinous rice become soft. These are two different flavors."

"Zhou Zhi, you are great at everything you do." Jiang Shuyi praised.

"He scratches his mouth the most, and Xin Yi knows it best." Mom smiled and said, "Shu Yi, don't let him fool you."

Jiang Shuyi's face turned red and she lowered her head and continued eating rice dumplings.

Zhou Zhi picked up the beer: "Then let's leave first. Ye Xin, stop pretending! Do I know who came from Fubao Town? Change the beer! Shu Yi and Xin Yi should drink Coke."

My mother quickly interrupted: "You can't force your female classmates to drink."

"Oh, mom, you don't understand the situation." Zhou Zhi explained: "Which household in Fubao Town doesn't make seventy or eighty kilograms of plum wine every year! Is it Ye Xin?"

"Stop pretending. There's no chance of pretending anymore."

Ye Xin put down the Coke with a smile and put the beer bottle on the handle: "Auntie, don't worry, I will knock down Ruyun once or twice every time during the holiday."

"Why are you mentioning this?" Mu Ruyun suddenly felt bad, picked up the bottle and interrupted: "Come on, respond to the elbow, one of us will go first!"

At this moment, the sound of drums sounded on the street outside, followed by the sound of firecrackers crackling.

"What is this for?" Everyone was stunned. Generally, such a battle is only held during the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Zhi reacted first, threw away his chopsticks, stood up and ran outside: "The dragon boat must be on the streets!"

"Have a look!" Mu Ruyun and Yang He also stood up and greeted the girls who were still stunned: "Let's go, let's go!"

By the time everyone came to the street outside the sugar and wine company, a liberation truck had slowly driven over from a distance.

When Zhou Zhi saw that scene, he couldn't help but be happy: "Hey! It's really good!"

The truck has a big red flower tied with red cloth on the front, and a trailer is towed behind it. The side panels of the carriage and trailer have been removed, and a dragon boat is placed on it.

The dragon boat was not visible in the river, but now it looks quite spectacular when it is on the shore. Next to the red dragon head is a red flag with the words "Individual Industrial and Commercial Team" written in big white letters.

Under the dragon's head is a silk flag, which reads "First place in Jiachuan County Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race".

The paddlers were all sitting on the dragon boats, as if they were still rowing. They were cheering with smiles on their faces and making rowing movements to the beat of the drummer.

There were several people on both sides of the carriage and the trailer. In addition to the cheerful young man, there were also two middle-aged men, one with a beer belly and the other with a bald head.

The two of them were wearing shiny leather shoes, long trousers, white shirts, and ties. They were constantly helping to take firecrackers out of the firecracker box at their feet and hand them to the young people beside them.

Both of them were glowing with glory, and their faces were shiny. On both sides of the road below the car, there were people watching the fun with the fleet.

The middle-aged people must be the coal boss and the team boss that dad mentioned. Zhou Zhi looked at them happily and understood their mood.

Even if self-employed people have money, their social status is still very low, and they are even discriminated against.

They also need such a scene to vent their worries, fears, and frustrations in the past; and to feel proud and proud today.

The firecrackers crackled again, and several girls were so frightened that they quickly blocked their ears, watching this lively scene with surprise and curiosity.

Zhou Zhi instinctively blocked Jiang Shuyi behind him to protect her from the flying firecracker debris.

The motorcade slowly passed by, and until the rear of the car was no longer visible, Zhou Zhi turned around and said, "Let's continue eating. I didn't expect these people to be so capable."

Jiang Shuyi's face turned red, and she stretched out her hand to gently remove a red firecracker shell from Zhou Zhi's shoulder: "They all splashed on you."

Ye Xin's eyes lit up immediately. Just when she opened her mouth to say "I knew it", Zhang Xinyi pulled her twice, and then gently shook her head.

"Just... I'll finish the wine after I open it!" Ye Xin changed her mind: "I'm going to have something with salted egg yolk stuffing later..."

Today's evening self-study was too busy. Not many people came, and most of those who came were discussing the dragon boat race.

Anyway, there was a fuss, so Zhou Zhi simply turned Lao Mu around and held a small meeting with Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi.

"I thought about it on the way," Zhou Zhi said, "It will be difficult for me to convince your parents directly."

"What should we do?" Jiang Shuyi was a little worried.

Zhang Xinyi was anxious: "My mother must have heard it. How would you know if you don't try?"

"Don't worry." Zhou Zhi said, "But if your grades improve this semester, I estimate that lobbying will be much easier."

Now it was Zhang Xinyi's turn to frown: "It's easy for you to say."

Zhou Zhi turned around and picked up a note from the top scholar on the table: "Can you all memorize this geography question?"

The note on the paper is - factors affecting the formation and development of cities:

natural factors:

1. Excellent geographical location

2. Terrain: (1) Most of the world's big cities are located in plain areas. Because plain areas have flat terrain and fertile soil, which is convenient for farming, is conducive to transportation connections and saves construction investment, it is an area with concentrated population and is also an ideal place for urban development.

environment.

(2) In tropical areas, lowlands are hot and humid, and living conditions are unfavorable. Therefore, cities are mostly distributed on plateaus with milder climates. For example: cities in the tropics in Latin America.

(3) Cities in mountainous areas and high-altitude plateaus are generally distributed along river valleys or in relatively open lowlands. For example: cities on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

3. Climate: Most cities in the world are located in coastal areas at mid- to low-latitudes with moderate temperatures and moderate precipitation.

4. Rivers: The impact of rivers on urban location is mainly reflected in the water supply and transportation functions (it also had defense functions in ancient times). Cities are most likely to appear at the starting point or end point of river transportation, the confluence of rivers, river crossing points, and estuaries (reasons:

Passengers and goods are distributed here, which is conducive to the formation and development of the city).

Socioeconomic factors:

1. Transportation accessibility, which affects the connection between the city and the outside world (shown as being located in a transportation hub or transportation trunk line); 2. Economic foundation and level (agriculture, industry, commerce, etc. foundation and level); 3. Development history; 4. Population

Quantity; 5. Economic hinterland; 6. Natural resources; 7. Others (politics, military, religion, science and technology and tourism, etc.); 8. Location factors of urban agglomerations: plus 1. The radiation and driving role of large cities; 2. Support from national policies,

Region 3 has a high level of urbanization.

Among them, Jiang Shuyi nodded, Zhang Xinyi hesitated, and Mu Ruyun shook his head.

"How did you memorize this question?"

"How else can I remember it? Just memorize it." Zhang Xinyi said.

"Shu Yi, do you memorize it by heart?"

Jiang Shuyi nodded.

"No wonder..." Zhou Zhi said, "Actually, this question should be memorized like this."

"Let's condense it first - geographical location, terrain (explain high, medium and low), climate, rivers, transportation, economic basic level, development history, population, economic hinterland, natural resources, political, military, religious, scientific and brigade advantages, location radiation drive,

National policy support, regional urbanization level."

"Then it's hard to memorize..."

"To summarize again, the development of anything cannot escape from three major factors. Which three are the right time, the right location, and the right people, right?"

"So for this question, we can analyze which of the three things we just mentioned belong to."

"Tianshi: climate, topography, and national policies."

"Geographical advantages: location, rivers, transportation, economic hinterland, natural resources, location factors."

"Renhe: economic basic level, development history, population size, political, military, religious, scientific and brigade advantages, and regional urbanization level."

"Is that so?"

Lao Mu was so happy that he scratched his head and scratched his head: "Damn! This is much easier to remember, but I think the terrain should also be considered a favorable location, right? Why did it belong to the time of heaven?"

"I did this on purpose. Look at the terrain. The first one is for plain areas, the second one is for tropical areas, choose plateaus, and the third one is for high altitudes and mountainous areas, choose valleys and lowlands. Two of the three are actually

It has something to do with the climate brought about by the terrain, so I put it into the weather."

"What Lao Mu said is correct. Among so many conditions, many of them can belong to both this and that. For example, the history of development, I think it can be counted as both human and weather, because it is caused by the gathering of people.

Yes, it’s also caused by time.”

"Everyone can do this however they want. We just want to use this method to enhance memory."

Zhang Xinyi picked up the paper on the table and looked at the three carefully summarized points and the arrows connecting them: "Sure enough, it is much easier to remember."

Mu Ruyun snatched the paper away: "Give it to me, I'll get it done today. This has been embarrassing me for many days!"

"It's not over yet!" Zhou Zhi snatched the paper back again.
Chapter completed!
