Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Chinese New Year is like this, the excitement comes and goes quickly.

    Liujiagou Primary School officially started school on the seventh and eighth day of the lunar month. Although the naughty children in the village were reluctant, they still carried their schoolbags to school obediently.  The furry kid spent the whole winter vacation running around like a wild horse, and he didn't write a single word of his winter vacation homework.  Seeing that school was about to start, he started to panic. On the afternoon of the sixth day of the sixth grade, he came over with his homework and asked Liu Junhao to do it for him. He didn't even notice that there was someone playing on the computer in the room.

    Liu Junhao suppressed his smile and said: "Okay, you put it in my room first, and I will do it for you later."

    Of course the boy was happy to hear this, and repeatedly told Liu Junhao to write it quickly, as the teacher would check it at school tomorrow.

    As soon as he opened the door of the hall, he found Teacher Zhang staring at him.  Those who had nothing to say got all the spoils, and the furry kid was now more honest, so he had to spend a long time in the yard doing his winter vacation homework.

    The light snowfall a few years ago did not have much impact on people. In just a few days, the weather became warmer, and Liu Junhao took off a layer of thick clothes early.

    In the morning, as soon as he got up and opened the door of the house, a group of water ducks surrounded him, quacking and waiting for Liu Junhao to feed them food. They also came forward with more than 20 hens.  Perhaps the water ducks grew up in a chicken coop, so these chickens and ducks get along very harmoniously.

    No one has had breakfast yet, but they are impatient.  Liu Junhao had no choice but to scoop out a large bowl of corn kernels from the house and sprinkle them on the ground. The ducks and hens immediately squawked and grabbed the corn kernels, and in a short time they pecked all the corn kernels on the ground.

    The feathers on the water ducks are gray and white, occasionally mixed with some green, and they look much more beautiful than the native ducks in the village.

    Watching them stretching their necks and pecking at his feet one by one, Liu Junhao felt a little satisfied. These water ducks must weigh a few kilograms. I will try stewing one some time. These are authentic wild ducks.  You can't even buy it with money.

    When he was thinking about the beauty, he suddenly discovered that many down feathers on the duck's wings began to fall off. Upon closer inspection, almost all ducks were like this, and they lost a lot of hair.

    "Well, it's a good thing that it's starting to shed. It looks like it's not far away from laying eggs. It's estimated that it will be able to eat duck eggs after spring.  I have had enough eggs these days, so it would be nice to switch to duck eggs.

    Unexpectedly, the group of water ducks would still quack around him after eating. Liu Junhao felt a little upset, so he opened the courtyard door and instructed Xiaopi to blow them all out.

    ¡°Other people¡¯s ducks tend to go off-road, and they never come back after going out for a run. His water ducks are good, but they still need to be driven out.

    Chased by Xiaopi, the water ducks were all driven into the ditch outside the courtyard gate, and each one stretched out its neck and started to quack.

    After eating, Liu Junhao washed the pots and bowls and went next door to find Professor Zhao playing chess. Unexpectedly, he saw Professor Zhao squatting in the backyard with a big teacup and happily looking at the thorn eggs planted in the autumn.

    He also walked over and took a closer look, and saw that these Chen Ci seedlings had faintly broken out of the ground, and they looked so green and pleasing to the eye.

    Even though it grows into a tree and is covered with sharp thorns, the buds that just grow in spring can be eaten as vegetables. Rinse them in a pot of boiling water, then pour sesame oil and cool them, and eat them until they taste slightly spicy.  It tastes a bit bitter, but when you chew it with your teeth, it's tender and plump. It's absolutely delicious.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????,

    The fruit of the thorn thorn is a good medicine. In the summer, the cattle are too hot to eat. Just chop the thorn eggs and add some sesame oil and pour them into the cow's stomach. In less than half a day, the ox will return to normal immediately.

    When Professor Zhao saw him coming, he excitedly pulled Liu Junhao and said, "Let's go and take a look at the bamboo poles. They are all sprouting bamboo shoots."

    "There are so few, only seven or eight have emerged?" Liu Junhao looked at the long bamboo shoots and asked with some confusion, "The others have not emerged?"

    No one grows bamboo poles in Liujiagou, so Liu Junhao knows very little about it. He was also thinking about getting some bamboo shoots to eat as vegetables. Only a few have been produced, which may not be enough for one dish.

    "This is still a small amount. It's not early spring yet? It's just a few bamboo shoots that came out during transplantation. When I bought it, they told me that we planted it late and it would be good if half of it would be alive by then. They also said that there would be no bamboo shoots this year.  "Where are the seeds? According to this trend, the survival rate of bamboo poles is 100%, and bamboo shoots will definitely bloom everywhere. Maybe there will be a large area in half a year." Professor Zhao said happily.

    "Can the survival rate be high? I watered it with spring water specially." He felt a little proud in his heart.

    Just talkingAs they were talking, the sound of turtle doves suddenly cooed, and two silver-gray turtle doves landed in front of them. After all, these turtle doves had been raised in their own home for several months, so they were no strangers to Liu Junhao.  He knelt down and stretched out his palm, and the turtle dove fluttered and landed on his clothes. It kept pecking at the collar of Liu Junhao's clothes with its small mouth, making him itchy.

    Professor Zhao went back to the house after looking at the bamboo shoots to get a few small packets of seeds. He said that he asked his old friends who love to grow flowers for the seeds when he went back during the Chinese New Year, and planned to scatter them in the yard while the weather was good.

    Seeing that an old man knows that the whole year begins with spring, Liu Junhao was so motivated that he was too embarrassed to continue leisurely, so he bought some seeds of each of these flowers and plants, and planned to take them back to green the yard.  , just growing those vegetables is a bit monotonous.

    "As a result, he was digging the ground with a hoe in front, and the hens were following behind, pecking at the earthworms. While pecking, they were writhing in the ground with their claws. They were very skillful.

    It seems that you need to build a fence before sowing the seeds of these flowers and plants, otherwise the seedlings will be destroyed by the chickens and ducks in the yard before they emerge.

    So Liu Junhao went to the river beach to cut reeds again, and when he led Xiaopi on the river beach, he realized that spring had arrived quietly. Although the river beach looked yellow and dry, when you get closer, you will find that it is not.  The roots of the young grass have already sprouted buds, glowing with a vague greenness.

    The reeds have been completely dry after being exposed to the sun for a winter, so they are very easy to cut with a sickle.

    In less than ten minutes, Liu Junhao had cut a lot of them, tied them up with a rope, and carried them back unsteadily. Then he took out a large handful of thin wire from the house and tied up the fence.

    He did not scatter all the seeds of flowers and plants in the yard, but scattered a lot of them into his own stone lock. Although the land was full of sand, you could tell by the way the chicken head buds and lotus roots grew in the spring that they were planted there.  There is definitely nothing wrong inside.

    Liu Junhao dug a lot of lotus roots in the spring during the Chinese New Year. They were all as thick as an arm, and they were all whole lotus roots, which tasted crunchy.  When he went to buy new year's goods, he took the opportunity to take out lotus roots and said that he bought them on the street.

    Speaking of lotus roots, he thought of the ditch in front of his door. Liu Junhao planned to plant some lotus roots in it a year ago, and now was the opportunity.  It¡¯s just that he has no experience in growing lotus roots. He only knows that lotus root joints are usually buried directly in the soil in rural areas, but the specific method of burying them is not very clear.

    It¡¯s easy to deal with if you don¡¯t know. There is an agricultural expert living next door. You can just go and ask.  Although Professor Zhao¡¯s research focus is on fruit trees, he also has some knowledge about growing lotus roots.

    After hearing his lotus root planting plan, Professor Zhao was also very interested and said that growing lotus roots generally requires fertile soil.  The mud in the ditch in front of the door is relatively thick, so it is suitable for planting lotus roots. However, you must carefully select the lotus root nodes. It is best to choose those lotus root seedlings with complete node nodes, intact terminal buds, and no bruises. It is also said that the lotus roots were grown years ago.  That's good.

    To make lotus roots easy to handle, Liu Junhao entered the side room and got a large basket of lotus roots. Each lotus root had four or five sections, and they were full of child lotus roots and grandson lotus roots.

    Professor Zhao kept praising the lotus roots when he saw them. He had no doubts because Liu Junhao bought two big bags of lotus roots on the street during the Chinese New Year, and they haven't finished eating them yet.

    The water in the ditch is still a bit cold now, so Liu Junhao did not let Professor Zhao go into the water, but asked him to provide guidance on the shore.

    The two of them were busy. Zhang Qian and Teacher Wang came back from school. When they saw them planting lotus roots in the ditch, they became interested. Zhang Qian even wanted to jump into the muddy water with her trouser legs rolled up and plant lotus roots with Liu Junhao.  .

    Zhang Qian really has a lotus root feeling. When she was in middle school, she especially liked Mr. Zhu Ziqing's "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond". She was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery described in it. She also said that she must plant a lotus herself if she had the chance.  .

    Now that the opportunity has finally come, how can she not be excited?
