    "Uncle Xiao Hao, Uncle Xiao Hao" I had just gotten up and had not even put on my clothes when I heard the little boy knocking on the door hard outside.

    "What are you knocking? Stop knocking. It's here." He quickly put on his clothes and took the key to open the door.

    But I saw a young man standing at the door, followed by a group of half-grown naughty children.

    "It's you" The visitor was slightly startled when he saw him.

    "Hey, isn't this Zhao Guangming? Why are you here?" Liu Junhao quickly opened the door and said apologetically: "Come in, come in." But he was muttering in his heart. He came so early in the morning and didn't know what was going on. Even his face  They haven't been washed yet.

    "I have just been transferred to the post office recently, and now I am assigned the task of delivering letters to the countryside. Someone is mailing something to you from the city. This is the package slip. Please sign for it," Zhao Guangming said, taking out a pen.

    Qingshan Town is not a big place, so big news can spread throughout the town within three days.  Therefore, of course he had heard about the fact that a capable person had appeared in Liujiagou.

    When he sent the letter this time, he was also looking forward to it. He wanted to meet this capable man, but he did not expect that this capable man would even drink with him.

    Liu Junhao took the order and looked at it. The name of the sender was Suna Na, so he knew that he was being mailed books on snail farming.  He secretly thought to himself, this girl is very efficient in doing things, and she mailed the book in just a few days.

    After he signed the order and paid five yuan, he received a postcard. Liu Junhao handed it to the little boy without looking at it and said, "Here, take it back and play with it."

    The little boy happily took it in the envious eyes of his companions, turning it over and over to look at the strange things.

    ¡°This postcard can be redeemed for prizes,¡± Zhao Guangming quickly reminded.

    "It's a damn prize. You have been forcing people to send postcards for five or six years. I have never heard of anyone in our town winning the lottery. Even if you send a regular letter, you still have to force a postcard to be sold. I don't know what the people below say about you.  "Yes." Liu Junhao said disapprovingly.

    "Hehe," Zhao Guangming smiled and said nothing. He had scolded the bastards at the post office for this kind of thing before, but now that he was the one delivering the letters, it was hard to say anything.

    "You must have not eaten yet when you got up so early to deliver the letter. Just eat at my place. Just wait, it will only take twenty minutes." Liu Junhao then remembered about cooking and hurriedly got up to prepare breakfast.

    "No, I still have a few letters to deliver later. It's late and people have to go to the fields to work after dinner, so my trip was in vain." Zhao Guangming hurriedly stopped him.

    Liu Junhao knew what he was telling the truth, so he didn¡¯t stay any longer.

    "By the way, I almost forgot about the business. Get me three kilograms of eels. I'll come and pick them up after I finish delivering the letter. There are guests at home at noon." He took out thirty yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Liu Junhao's hand.  in hand.

    After sending the person away, Liu Junhao washed his face and started cooking. After the meal, he directly took a dozen large eels from the stone lock and threw them into the bucket and weighed them. They weighed almost three and a half kilograms.

    After waiting in the yard for less than twenty minutes, Zhao Guangming rode his motorcycle to his door again, saying he was here to get eels.  This kid didn't even take anything to hold the eels. As a result, Liu Junhao had to dig out a long worm skin bag from the house for him to use. He also told him to go back quickly and put it in a wooden basin to prevent the eels from suffocating to death. That way, it would be noon  It just doesn't taste good.

    The fish eats fresh shrimp, and the fish is freshly killed and delicious.  Zhao Guangming naturally knew this. Anyway, the road in Liujiagou had just been repaired and the road condition was very good, so he drove quickly and got home in only five or six minutes.

    "It's true, your dad, you can't just buy two eels on the street, but you have to go to Liujiagou to buy them at such an expensive price," Zhao Guangming's mother started complaining as soon as she took the bag.  "Let me see what's good about this eel, whether it's a long head or a long tail. It's not bad, it's quite fat. Have you weighed it?"

    Zhao Guangming ran for a long time and was squatting there washing his face. After washing, he said: "It was already done when I went there. Don't worry, you won't be short of a few taels."

    "It's hard to say. Nowadays, business people are very smart. What if there is something wrong with the scale?" Mother Zhao was a little worried, so she brought the eel into the house and weighed it with an electronic scale. She shouted in surprise, "  Guangming, come in and see if our scale is broken again, why is there an extra half a catty?"

    Hearing this, Zhao Guangming also walked into the house. He turned off the switch and then turned it on again. He paused for a minute before putting the bag on. It still showed that it was more than half a catty.

    They all understood that Liu Junhao must have given over half a catty, and Mother Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "Just because of his sincerity, the eel must be sold like a boom."

    In the morning, Professor Zhao made a basket and said he wanted to get some chicken manure to go back and fertilize the flower seedlings, so Liu JunhaoHe bent down and moved the chicken coop away, then shoveled the chicken manure outward one by one.

    He raised more than 20 hens at home, plus a dozen ducks that had been peeing in the chicken coop for several months, so there was a thick layer piled on the ground. He only cleaned a small area and it was full.  A full basket.

    After helping Professor Zhao, Liu Junhao also thought of his own flower pond. The chicken coop should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.  Otherwise, as the weather warms up, it will be difficult to handle if these chickens and ducks get sick.

    So he spent the whole morning working on the chicken coop, basket by basket, and finally laid a thick layer in the flower pond.

    After cleaning the chicken coop, it was time to move on to the sheep pen, which also contained a lot of sheep dung.  Last summer, Liu Junhao bought a lamb because he thought the yard was empty. In autumn, because the yard was dug with ditches, he had no place to graze the sheep, so he sold it and used the free sheep to raise hares.

    Although sheep dung and rabbit dung are very strong, they need to be soaked for a period of time before being used in the ground, so Liu Junhao wanted to clean the west side against the courtyard wall.  There used to be a lot of miscellaneous wood there, which was almost burned during the Chinese New Year. Now it is just right to pile the excrement in that corner.

    Who knew that as soon as he walked to the corner with his shovel, he found a nest made of branches and dead grass on the pile of miscellaneous trees, with a blue-white duck egg lying inside.

    "Well, water duck eggs." He picked it up and weighed it and was pleasantly surprised.

    I thought it would take some time for these water ducks to lay eggs, but I didn¡¯t expect that it was just the beginning of spring and they started laying eggs.  This thing is quite clever. He left a good chicken nest unused, but secretly built a new one in the yard.

    ¡°If he hadn¡¯t planned to pile dung here today, I¡¯m afraid he wouldn¡¯t have been discovered.

    Finally, he remembered that there were about ten water ducks in his yard, at least half of them must be female.  They were all hatched from a nest, and it is estimated that they are all laying eggs now, so there might be another nest here.

    He stepped on the wood and climbed up, and suddenly became excited. There were five or six water duck nests on the pile of miscellaneous wood, and the largest one already had five duck eggs lying in it.

    In other words, these water ducks started laying eggs a few days ago, but I never noticed it.  I don¡¯t know how they managed to hide it, but he has been in the yard these days.

    Liu Junhao hurriedly called Professor Zhao over the courtyard wall to take a look. Professor Zhao was very happy when he saw it. When he left, he even brought four back to prepare for frying at noon.

    Of course, when they picked up duck eggs, they did not clear out the nests, but left a thought for the water ducks in each nest. Otherwise, they might have to change places when they lay eggs next time.

    So the place for retting the manure had to be re-selected, so Liu Junhao decided to just pile the manure behind the sheep pen.  After cleaning up, he went outside to dig a few baskets of soil and re-covered the sheep pen with a layer of soil. He immediately felt that the smell inside was much better.

    Liu Junhao naturally fried a few water duck eggs at noon. Probably because these water ducks often eat vegetables in the yard, the duck eggs did not taste fishy.

    In addition, after working hard for a long time in the morning, he was already hungry. At noon, he felt that the scrambled duck eggs were particularly delicious and tasted particularly delicious.

    After eating, Liu Junhao specially moved a chair and sat under the poplar tree, looking at the pile of miscellaneous trees from a distance. He wanted to see when the water duck laid its eggs.

    But after waiting for an hour, he fell asleep out of boredom, because there was no water duck flying towards the pile of debris.

    The water duck did not wait, but heard the sound of a car outside the door, and Xiaopi screamed and rushed forward.
