This summer, don't talk nonsense! All the way south, Wallachia

Summer vacation is like a small piece cut from the track of time, breaking away from the old system and forming an independent chapter, providing fermentation soil for all kinds of fantastic, beautiful and bad things.

Summer vacation is the vacuum of everyday life free from school rules and parental constraints. The summer vacation brings the sense of mission that the school is about to upgrade, and the upgrade is closer to growing up, "forcing" children to go crazy before they grow up - wearing little clothes, running and playing in the hot sun, eating melons and chewing ice by the way, Catch birds and tease fish, form gangs and do whatever they want.

During the summer vacation, Masao led the clamor all the way, and Kikujiro, who was a fox and a tiger, went to Fengqiao to visit his mother. Without the cover of Masao's "summer vacation", Kikujiro would not be able to travel; he would not be able to yell at Bakaya Lu, and "bully" those kind and timid strangers again and again; he would not be able to buy lottery tickets, steal corn, Smashing car windows, hitchhiking, snatching angel wind chimes; there is no way to play the "naked one, two, three traffic lights" that I really want to play. Masao shared some of the summer vacation privileges to Kikujiro, and he had "Kiujiro's Summer".

In "What We Did During Our Holidays", the three little kids buried their dead grandfather at sea according to his grandfather's wishes. They know that adults can argue and worry too much. The adults will not obey the grandfather's last wishes, and simply hold the funniest and most mysterious funeral for the grandfather.

Because it is summer vacation, all the outrageous things can be understood.


"Chick" tells a story that happened during a summer vacation.

The life of 14-year-old boy Mike can be divided into two stages: before Cheek came and after Cheek came.

Before Cheek came, Mike was a little transparent: plain-looking, with weird hair, and Banhua dismissed him; his mother was an alcoholic, his father was irritable, and the teacher scolded him.

A very big problem in Mike's life is that he doesn't understand "language". His classmates had a heated discussion about buying condoms to attend parties after class, but in class they faked and read aloud "the boat fell into the water, I was rescued, thank God" this kind of naive content, the teacher would also take a serious look at keyword extraction." Save God from overwater."

Mike has written a large book of his mother's alcoholic admission to the nursing home very seriously, and faithfully recorded the famous saying that his mother taught him "One, everything can be said; two, other people's opinions are bullshit." In exchange, it was a reprimand from the teacher. The teacher scolded him for insulting his mother, and said, "I hope you tore up your composition." When Mike really started tearing it up, the teacher said, "I don't really want you to tear it up, I want you to think about it and do it all. what."

God, Mike must be driven mad by this teacher! Because teachers are like many adults, like those classmates who pretend to be stupid, they never tell the truth.

Fortunately, Chick came, and Chick dropped out of nowhere as a freak. He has an Asian face, a red boy haircut, and has vodka hidden in his schoolbag. As soon as he came, he corrected the teacher's pronunciation, fell asleep in class every day, but got the highest score in mathematics.

During the summer, Freak Chick drives a stolen car to "hook up" Mike. First, they went to Banhua's birthday party to play a cool game, and then the two who tasted the sweetness decided to drive all the way to Wallachia. They listened to Richard Clayderman's soothing piano music, walked out through the thick fog, without a map, threw away their mobile phones, and planned to walk on forever.

They rush into the cornfields and write in their cars; they break into strangers' homes and enjoy an "intelligent baptism" lunch; they split up, get chased by police cars, and eventually reunite; they even meet stray girls, The three made a fifty-year contract. Mike finally stopped listening to Richard Clayderman in this cool summer.

After a car accident, the herd of pigs swarming the road, the staggered and flickering lights, everything in Mike's eyes is too absurd to be true. It was as if the disappeared Cheek never existed.

But Mike wasn't stuck with "language" anymore, and language was about "saying anything": asshole dad can get fucked, alcoholic mom is alcoholic so what? She's still a straight, brave, cool mom. The group of idiots in the school are still idiots, and the school beauties with only faces have lost their charm.

Only the Jewish Gypsy orphan Chick, and the wandering Issa, are Mike's concern. They break into Mike's youth and save him one summer vacation.
