- Fortunately, I stayed at the door for a while, otherwise the group of hens would have been brutally attacked by their enemies this time. When Liu Junhao saw it approaching the chicken coop again, he quickly lit up the portable lamp in his hand and shined it towards the grass raccoon.
It was frightened and took a step back, then stopped, blinked at Liu Junhao, and shook its fiery red tail strangely a few times, quite arrogantly, obviously knowing that Xiaopi would not be back for a while, and in front of him This person will definitely not be able to catch up with him.
This was the first time he saw such a bold beast. He grabbed the shovel leaning against the house and swung it. The fox's reaction was quick, and it had already slipped out of the water channel in a flash. It let out a low hiss outside the courtyard wall, constantly provoking him, as if it wanted to entice him to catch up.
The outside of the yard was full of weeds, and even if you went out, it would be useless. Therefore, Liu Junhao made up his mind to ignore the provocation of this beast and turned around to go back to the house. But before he could take two steps, the fox ran in again and continued to bark at him. When Liu Junhao came forward, it turned around and ran away.
"If the tiger doesn't show its power, you really think I'm a sick cat." Liu Junhao gritted his teeth and went back to the house, took out the chain ring gun he made a few days ago, loaded it with gunpowder, and stood in the yard waiting.
As soon as the fox showed its head, he raised his hand and fired. Fire was blazing in the darkness. The iron sand spurted from the gun made the fox jump around at the base of the wall, and then quickly escaped into the eye of the waterway.
He fired from a slightly far distance, so the power of the iron sand was greatly reduced and could not hurt the foxes at all. However, even so, it frightened the two foxes so much that they never dared to come over again. It turned out that these beasts knew how to be afraid.
The days are passing by slowly, and the hottest season will be over in a blink of an eye. In a while, it will be the autumn harvest, which is also the busiest season of the year.
The fields are green everywhere, especially the corn, which has grown to the height of a person, and the big corn cobs with beards are growing out, which looks very pleasant.
Liu Junhao naturally became greedy when he saw this thing. Corn on the cob is the most delicious at this time. Whether it is cooked or grilled, it is always crispier and more delicious the more you chew it.
He now regrets that he did not plant some corn, otherwise he could cook the corn cobs and eat them now.
"One grain of millet is planted in spring and ten thousand grains are harvested in autumn. Liu Junhao has not planted anything in the field this year. Now he has nowhere to break off the corn cobs he wants to eat.
?????????????????????? It seems that it¡¯s not feasible to live on this stone lock alone. Next year, we still need to plant some land. We can plant some of what we want to eat, and it will be convenient to eat then. Moreover, he has the advantage of spring water, and he believes that the crops he grows will be much better than others.
"Then again, I haven't fully utilized the spring water in the stone lock at all. I haven't done much serious work since the day I got it. I just use it to raise fish and water vegetables, and I haven't done anything else. Seeing the people in the village busy working in the fields, he felt that he was really a lazy man. In the past, a lazy man like him could not find a wife in the countryside.
"However, Liu Junhao also feels that his current state is very good, he has nothing to worry about, and he is living a leisurely life, like a god.
When he looked up and saw the jujubes on the tree, his thoughts became active again. He thought that it would be good to plant some fruit trees in the open space in the front yard next year. There would not be many kinds. One or two of each kind would be enough for his own family. Just eat it, don't expect to sell it for money. You should also plant some flowers and plants in the yard to make the yard look more lively.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, it was his long-term plan. At present, he still had to solve the problem of gluttony. After thinking about it, he caught two kilograms of eels and sent them to Er Mazi's house, saying that he would exchange the eels for corn cobs.
¡°As a result, Er Mazi didn¡¯t accept anything he said, and kept pushing Liu Junhao out the door.
"You can cut the corn growing in the ground and eat as much as you want, but you can take the eel home. If my restaurant needs it, I will buy it from your yard. If you bring the eel again, I won't even let you in." ." These are Er Mazi's exact words. He has always kept Liu Junhao's favor in his heart. He didn't thank him properly for buying wild boar cubs last time. If it hadn't been for their help, I'm afraid the thousands of dollars he brought would have been gone. Let those scammers cheat you.
What's more, the eels in the farmhouse are always caught in other people's yards. People from the village come to buy eels. No matter how much they sell, Liu Junhao always prices them at ten yuan per catty.
Although people didn¡¯t say anything about this in person, they all said he was honest when chatting privately, and they all remembered it in their hearts.
Now Liu Junhao wants to eat a few corn cobs and two pockmarks, of course he is willing to do so, not to mention that this thing is not a rare thing, it is not valuable at all, a pound of corn kernels only costs 50 or 60 cents. If he really accepts these eels and doesn't let the villagers break his spine, how can he still hang out in the village in the future?
?After sending Liu Junhao away, Er Mazi specifically asked his wife to go to the field to get some more corn cobs to send to others, as a favor.
But Er Mazi¡¯s daughter-in-law was very talkative. When she left the village, she met a few people chatting and asking her what she was doing in the fields, so she told the story, and others heard it. So at noon, Maozi brought a basket of corn cobs to Liu Junhao's house, saying that his mother asked him to deliver them.
"How did your mother know that I wanted to eat this?" Liu Junhao looked at the seven or eight corn cobs as thick as his hands and necks and was a little confused. He seemed to have never mentioned it to his little kid.
"I don't know either. My mother said you liked it, so she asked me to pick a basket in the field and bring it to you." The furry kid just faithfully followed the adults' orders and didn't know anything else.
"Good delivery. Don't leave today at noon. Eat boiled corn at my uncle's place." Liu Junhao said and put the basket in the house.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? That heard a voice outside the door, looked up and saw Liu Laosan walking in with a bamboo basket with half a basket of corn cobs in it.
"Third uncle, have you just come back from the fields? Sit down and have a cup of tea." Liu Junhao quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
"No, I'm here to deliver something," Liu Laosan said, taking the bamboo basket to the kitchen and knocking it down on the ground. The corn cobs scattered on the floor.
"Third uncle, you gave this to me?" Not only Liu Junhao, but also Professor Zhao was stunned.
"What's wrong? Your third uncle is not interested in getting you some. Didn't I just hear that you want to eat corn cobs? There are no seeds in your land, so I brought some over. Feel free to eat whatever you want in the future. Third Uncle said, whatever is available in the field, I will get it for you."
"Thank you, third uncle, thank you, third uncle" Liu Junhao had a smile on his face, but he was quite depressed in his heart. He couldn't eat so many corn cobs.
The corn cobs are not yet mature and cannot withstand being put away, so they need to be picked and eaten now. Even if they had two more mouths, they wouldn't be able to finish this huge pile. It looked like they could only hold the corn cobs and gnaw at noon.
"Xiao Hao, thank you. Every time our naughty kid comes to your place to eat and take food, you don't say anything. The two of us have always wanted to get you something. Didn't we hear the two in the morning? Mazi¡¯s wife was yelling in the village that she liked eating corn on the cob, so I thought about it and brought some over.¡±
Liu Laosan spoke for a while and then turned around and left. However, as he walked forward, Ermazi entered the yard with a long insect skin bag on his back. Seeing the shape of sticks in most of the bag, Liu Junhao was startled and asked , "Uncle Guangxi, you didn't also bring me corn cobs, did you?"
"Yes, didn't you say you wanted to eat this morning? I asked my wife to go around the field in the morning and pick out some big ones. The baskets at home are all occupied, so I put them in cloth bags and got them for you."
"Mr. Ermazi, you are late. I have already sent a basket to Uncle Hao, and just now the third master also sent half a bamboo basket" Maozi said quickly.
"Oh, really?" Er Mazi was also stunned, and then said, "How did he know?"
"My second grandma didn't tell anyone, my mother just listened to her."
"This prodigal woman has a loud voice, and her farts can scare the whole village. It was the same thing last time when she bought wild boar cubs." Er Mazi said cursingly.
But what surprised them was yet to come. Third Aunt Wang panted and walked to the door carrying a bamboo basket and asked Liu Junhao to help her carry it in. The basket was also full of corn cobs.
Although the third aunt quickly figured out the matter, she said nothing and refused to take the corn cob back, saying that it was too tiring to handle. As she spoke, she emptied the bamboo basket and left neatly with the basket.
"Uncle Guangxi, you killed me this time. How can you let me eat so much?" Liu Junhao held his head in pain. It looked like he was going to eat corn on the cob at night.
"Hehe, this is better, let your kid eat enough at once"
¡¡
Professor Zhao was both painful and happy during these two meals. He held the corn cob and gnawed it during lunch and dinner. He ate nothing else except this. Although corn on the cob tastes sweet and delicious when cooked, no matter how good it is, it becomes unappetizing after eating too much.
Of course, he kept praising that rural areas are better. Here he felt the harmony and sincerity between neighbors: If you are good to me, I will naturally be good to you.
¡°You can¡¯t feel this at all in the city. People in the city lack a sense of security and are full of suspicion and hostility towards neighborly interactions. In his words, "You see, everyone in the city has a mobile phone with dozens of phone numbers stored in it, but none of them belongs to their neighbours."
