Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Qian only stayed at home for one night, and rushed back in a hurry the next afternoon, not even meeting the blind date arranged by her mother.

    It¡¯s different once people have concerns. When she was at home, she always thought about Qiuqiu, wondering if the little guy would be uncomfortable after being away for two days.  Before she left, she specifically told Liu Junhao to take good care of her and not let Qiuqiu freeze and starve.  Seeing Zhang Qian explain it several times in a row, Liu Junhao began to wonder if she regarded this water duck as his own child?

    Isn¡¯t it just a water duck? As for this, after Zhang Qian left, he held Qiuqiu¡¯s legs and looked at it for a long time, but he didn¡¯t find any difference between it and his group of water ducks.

    Since he took over this little guy, it has been chirping non-stop.  Finally, Liu Junhao couldn't bear it anymore, so he let it out of the cage and threw it in the yard to let it roam freely.

    When it was almost dark, he remembered this incident, but after searching in the yard for a long time, he still couldn't find this little guy.  This made Liu Junhao panic. He quickly pushed the hen out of the chicken coop and looked at the group of water ducks under its belly, but he didn't find Qiuqiu.

    What should I do? He had promised well when they left, but he lost Qiuqiu in less than a day. Thinking of Zhang Qian's love for this little guy, Liu Junhao felt a little flustered. He didn't know what she was doing.  How will you get angry at yourself when you come back?

    Just when he was about to search outside the yard, Professor Zhao accidentally looked at the cage and found that Qiuqiu was lying down in the nest. This made Liu Junhao breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly closed the cage door tightly.

    What happened last night made him scared. Today he was just like taking care of a child. He didn¡¯t let this little guy leave his sight for more than half a minute, for fear that he would disappear without a trace if he wasn¡¯t paying attention.

    After Zhang Qian came back and put her luggage away, she went straight here to look for Qiuqiu. When Liu Junhao saw the real owner coming, he quickly handed over the "items".

    Zhang Qian didn¡¯t come here empty-handed this time. When she came back, she bought a few boxes of mooncakes in the city and gave them two boxes.  Although it's not a good thing, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, so it's a good occasion gift.

    Liu Junhao did not refuse pretentiously. In the evening, he specially opened a box and shared it with Professor Zhao. Professor Zhao didn't like mooncakes very much, so he only ate one and stopped eating.

    Although the packaging of this mooncake is so good, the taste is just the same, and the size is very small, only four in a box.

    "Is this called a mooncake? It's just packaged. It doesn't taste as good as the one made by Madman Zhao in town." Liu Junhao swallowed the remaining mooncake completely in three mouthfuls. Apart from being a little sweet, there was nothing at all.  The rest of the feeling is the same as not eating.

    He said that Madman Zhao sells homemade steamed buns and makes some mooncakes for sale every Mid-Autumn Festival.  When people sell it, it costs five yuan per catty.  Moreover, the mooncakes are very big, and are filled with peach kernels, rock sugar, melon seeds, sesame seeds, etc. They taste crunchy, especially the rock sugar, which makes a crunching sound when you bite them.

    During the autumn harvest season, almost every family is very busy, but the busy time is only about ten days. After harvesting peanuts, corns, soybeans and other crops, and then putting away the crop poles, the farmers begin to take some time off.

    At this time, the fields became empty. The air in the mountains was good, there was no dust pollution, and the visibility was very high. Standing on the high slope and looking around, everything in the entire ravine came into view. Liu Junhao couldn't help shouting at the top of his voice.  After a few sounds, echoes came from the mountain opposite.  After removing the turbid air from the lungs, I felt an indescribable sense of refreshment.  He sat down on the grass, put the book in his hand under his head, and lay down on the grass to take a nap.

    He was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt his nose was itchy. He pressed it with his hand and wanted to turn over and go back to sleep. However, he heard a "chichi" laughter coming from his ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw the baby in Mao's hand.  He was holding a piece of dogtail grass in front of his nose.

    "What are you doing, you naughty boy? You're not old or young. Didn't the teacher teach you to respect your elders?" Liu Junhao stretched out his hand to catch him, but the naughty boy slipped and ran ten feet away.  Zhang Qian was standing there leading a large group of children in a lively manner. Seeing that they all had a lot of wild fruits in their hands, it was obvious that they had just come down from the mountain.

    "Are you reading or sleeping here? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile.

    "It's okay. It's not easy to get sleepy from reading in autumn. I'm strong and can't catch a cold." Liu Junhao excused himself, stood up, patted the grass clippings on his body and asked, "You just came down from the mountain, what did you pick?"  Yeah, let me take a look Well, there are Shanlihong, Yetangli, and Yuanzao. These are pecans. Get me two to try.¡­¡±

    As he spoke, he grabbed a few pecans from the hands of a naughty child, removed the bitter skin and smashed them on a stone. Then he put the white kernels into his mouth and tasted them. His mouth was filled with saliva, and they were crispy, crispy and fragrant.

    In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, walnuts and August are pears. Although walnuts can be picked in July, walnut trees are generally very tall and the fruits grow on the treetops, so it is difficult to pick them. You can only wait until the walnuts are ripe and fall naturally.  .  But this also depends on luck, because many walnut trees have long been visited by squirrels and monkeys.  It seems that they are lucky, each of them has half a bag in the small bag.

    ***

    The loudspeaker announced that there would be a meeting at one o'clock in the afternoon. It was already ten o'clock, and there were still several families who had not come, which made Liu Guangju quite annoyed.

    The purpose of calling people here today was to build roads. He used the loudspeaker to emphasize the time at noon, but there were still many people who couldn't come. If they didn't gather together, there would be no way to open the road, so he had to  I assigned a few children to call again.

    Over the years, the villagers have been frightened by his big loudspeaker. Every time there is a meeting, he either collects money or conveys some instructions from the town. Therefore, when there is a meeting, many people hide away whenever they can and always don't want to come.

    ?????????? Actually, this time I was a little bit resentful of Liu Guangju. If he had explained clearly the contents of the meeting through the loudspeaker at noon, I¡¯m afraid everyone in the village would have gathered already.

    After waiting for another seven or eight minutes, everyone was finally here. Liu Guangju cleared his throat and talked about the road construction in the village. Before he could finish speaking, the people below started talking about it.

    As a member of Liujiagou, Liu Junhao was naturally squatting among these villagers.  As he expected, the villagers had suffered enough from the mud road over the years and were in favor of road construction. What's more, Liu Guangju had made it clear just now that there would be no fund raising for road construction this time.  Instead, the money used to rent land in the village this year will be used to advance payment.

    At the end of the discussion, some villagers even said on the spot that if funds for road construction were still lacking, asking the villagers to contribute part of the money could also be considered.  This statement has been approved by many people. It can be seen that everyone has a lot of spare money this year.

    ¡°And after this period of exposure, many people have already seen the benefits of road construction. After the road is completed, I am afraid that there will be more city people visiting Liujiagou next year.

    This meeting was the most lively, with almost everyone expressing approval.  This made Liu Guangju even more high-spirited, and the next day he became anxious and called the construction team Liujiagou.

    They are going to build a gravel road, which is easy to build and saves money.  Liujiagou is only a dozen miles from the town, and the gravel road was planned in half a day. After calculating the road construction costs, the final cost of repairing the road was less than 100,000 yuan, and there was nearly 10,000 yuan left in the book.

    Liu Guangju held another small meeting for the money and said he wanted to use the remaining money to put on a big show to entertain the whole village.

    ¡°Perhaps seeing that Liu Guangju finally did something practical for the village, most of the villagers turned out to be supportive after he expressed his thoughts.  Although many young people suggested showing movies instead, they all changed their minds after being greeted by their elders with their pipe sticks.

    Speaking of big dramas, the happiest people are the old people in the village. Although many people now have TVs, local small stations also often show dramas.  But those old people always found it unsatisfactory and said it didn't taste like a drama.

    ??Here people are invited to sing and call it a big show. There are more grass opera troupes in rural areas and less attention to detail. Three or five people can support a show and make it lively.

    Liujiagou has not been prosperous in recent years, and it has not staged a show for who knows how many years. In many people¡¯s minds, the last time it was on stage was when it was a model show.

    The news spread far faster than people imagined. In less than three days, almost everyone in the town knew that a big drama was going to happen in Liujiagou.

    Many old theater fans went to Liujiagou to find out whether this was true, regardless of the difficulty of walking on the mountain road.  The old people in Liujiagou also laughed and said that this was absolutely true, and their backs were very straight when they said it.
