    It is troublesome to cut the reeds in this season. The large ones are all new. The newly grown reeds are already as tall as a person, but they are crisp and tender. Even if they are harvested, they cannot be used as a fence.  So Professor Zhao and the two could only pick old reeds and cut them one by one, which was very troublesome.

    After working for half an hour, the two of them got a small bundle. Liu Junhao suddenly lost his temper, threw the sickle away and said, "It's too slow for us to cut the reeds like this. Let's just cut the old and new reeds together, and then we can pick out the old reeds after the cutting is finished."

    "Isn't this bad? It would be a pity to destroy the reed marsh." Professor Zhao was a little hesitant. He was considering protecting the environment.

    "It's okay, this reed marsh grows very fast, and in less than ten days there will be new shoots sprouting all over again." Liu Junhao was more familiar with the habits of reeds than he was.

    Professor Zhao heard what he said and nodded in agreement.

    In this way, the speed of the two people increased significantly. After three times, five times and two times, they piled up a half-sized haystack.

    There are countless birds in the reeds in May.  From time to time, the water rails, green villagers, and reeds were disturbed by them. They flew up in groups, hovered in the sky for a while, and then plunged into the depths of the dense reeds like arrows.

    Liu Junhao was busy working when he suddenly heard Professor Zhao calling, saying that he had found a big bird's nest in the reeds.

    ¡°This is Qingzhuang Nest,¡± Liu Junhao said with certainty after only taking two glances.

    Qingzhuang is covered in white feathers and is relatively large. He usually likes to make his nest in trees or reeds.  The nest made by this thing is very rough. When making a nest in a tree, just use some dry branches and withered grass to build a tent. A slight strong wind may blow the eggs to the ground.

    But the nests they build in the reeds are more elaborate.  Usually several reeds are twisted together to serve as pillars.  Then dry grass came and was bundled in the middle of the reeds on the high ground two meters above the ground.  Then put reed leaves inside.  It looks like a castle in the air.

    Professor Zhao just lowered his head and cut reeds.  He didn't notice anything strange above his head at all.  Those reeds had been completely cut by him.  Even a bird's egg was smashed.  The bird's nest is about to fall.  He quickly tied up the broken reeds with a rope.  Hang the nest in the air again.

    "It's useless. Don't bother. Those Qingzhuangs will definitely not come back if they are frightened. Take these eggs back and let the water ducks hatch them. Maybe they can even hatch small birds." Liu Junhao casually took a blue-green ground bird.  Measure the eggs.

    ??You can tell at a glance that this bird egg has just been laid.  About the same size as an egg.  One weighs a pound or two.

    "It's a pity. I hope I can hatch a bird." Professor Zhao stopped doing useless work after hearing this.

    Liu Junhao was not so emotional.  This season is the breeding season for birds.  When he was a child, he often went to the reeds with his friends to hunt for birds.

    Every day after school, those naughty children would dive into the reed swamps in groups of three and two.  Each and every one of them walked barefoot in the mud, one foot deep and one foot shallow, one foot shallow and the other barefoot. They kept pushing aside the reeds with their hands and looking around with wide eyes.  Once a bird's nest is found, they will directly grab the branches and reach for the bird's nest, regardless of cutting the reed leaves.

    Bird eggs are usually boiled and eaten. If you encounter a small bird, take them back and feed them.  When it can fly, tie a string to the bird's talons and lead it to fly from a distance.

    This bird's nest was just a small interlude. The two rested for a while, and the harvest speed picked up again.

    After two hours of busy work, a large reed pile was piled on the river beach.

    All the withered yellow reeds were picked out and loaded on the cart. These new young reeds had no other use at all and could only be dried and used as firewood.

    Liu Junhao did not drag them home, but directly spread them on the open ground, planning to wait for them to dry in the sun for a few days before taking them home.

    Although they loaded a large cart full, the reeds on the drying ground were as light as cotton, so it was not difficult for two people to pull them up.

    It was already noon when we got home. Teacher Wang had prepared lunch early. When he saw them, he brought a basin of water for them to wash their hands and eat.

    After dinner, he got busy. In order to speed up the progress, Liu Junhao borrowed a guillotine for cutting grass from the village.  "Kacha, kacha" After half an hour of busy work, all the reeds were cut into short sticks of more than one meter.

    Professor Zhao still has two large bundles of thin wire he bought when he built a house last time, and now he is using it to tie up the fence.

    There is no technical content in the work of building a fence. Just use a sickle to sharpen one end of the reed and insert it directly into the ground.

    I didn't feel it at first, but now that I was finished and sat in the yard again, Liu Junhao looked at the fences that were painted all over the place, and he actually felt something unexpected: butterflies were entering the cauliflower, and no guests came to Tian's house after a long day.  .  Chickens fly over the fence and dogs bark,?A merchant came to buy tea.

    "Well, now it will be less easy for animals to get in." Professor Zhao also sat comfortably on the chair and said, "It would be best to plant a circle of morning glories on the edge like the fence in your yard. This way  It looks better."

    When Zhang Qian came back from school in the afternoon, she took a fancy to the fence at first sight, picked up her phone and kept taking pictures.  When he returned to the house to play on the computer, he even asked Liu Junhao to change his yard to look like this.

    Hao had this idea, but he just thought about it. In this courtyard, just a fence would definitely not work.

    At night, he fought against the bites of water ducks and secretly stuffed the eggs into the nest.

    The eggs of these two types of birds are almost the same color, so they should be able to get through.

    Although he is usually lazy, he is actually quite smart in his calculations.

    During this period of time, the few water ducks began to hatch eggs in unison. In a few months, there will be 70 or 80 water ducks in my yard. By then, just laying eggs will make people happy.

    It¡¯s only been two days since May, and the weather has obviously started to get hotter and drier.  Liu Junhao is young, strong and has great firepower, so he changed into short-sleeved shirts early, which makes him unique in the village.

    Normally, I don¡¯t think so. When he wears short sleeves, his white arms are exposed. People who come to his yard say that he doesn¡¯t look like a rural person.

    Liu Junhao naturally knows that this is the result of the spring water. His body is getting healthier now. It rained for a long time when he fished cattle for Liu Wuye that day, but nothing happened.

    It¡¯s just that when the weather gets hot, the toilet in the corner smells bad.  Although I had to rinse it with water twice a day, the smell couldn't be washed away.

    ¡°When you have money, you naturally have to improve your quality of life, so Liu Junhao thought about tidying up the toilet again.

    Unexpectedly, Professor Zhao became interested after hearing about it and said that he also wanted to completely renovate his own toilet.  In the past few months, he has been quite satisfied with his living conditions, except that this toilet is very uncomfortable.

    This little bit of work didn¡¯t cost much. He and Professor Zhao were bored every day and just found something to do, so they didn¡¯t ask the villagers for help for the time being.

    They did what they said, and the next day Liu Junhao leveled a piece of land next to the toilet.  Because Professor Zhao suggested that it be best to separate a bathroom inside, the toilet was built larger.

    Now that the highway has been built, the transportation of building materials has become much more convenient.  With just a phone call, the sand and cement were delivered to the door early.

    Professor Zhao mixed the cement and Liu Junhao built the wall. It only took a week to build the two toilets.  On the day of the roofing ceremony, he specially greeted the people in the village early and called five or six people to come over and help lift the floor slabs.

    There were only two rooms, and the amount of work was very small. It only took a few hours to lay the floors, and he and Professor Zhao still completed the rest of the work.

    Originally, Zhang Qian suggested laying a layer of ceramic tiles on the toilet floor, saying that it would give people a fresh and tidy look.

    However, the suggestion was rejected by Liu Junhao. Rural areas are not as good as cities, and it is easy for shoes to get dust.  If the floor is paved with tiles, you will probably have to mop it once every two times you go to the toilet. It is better to mop it with cement.

    In Liu Junhao¡¯s eyes, this toilet was not a strange thing at all. He did not expect that after it was built, it attracted many villagers to visit.  They all say it looks much cleaner this way, and I will renovate my own toilet when I go back.

    Soon a vigorous toilet renovation movement was launched in the village, and all of them were copied from Liu Junhao's house. Liu Guangju also took advantage of this momentum to renovate several public toilets at the head of the village and on the river beach.

    It seems that after solving the problem of food and clothing, people in the village began to pursue a more comfortable living environment.  Of course, the renovated toilets have been unanimously praised by tourists.

    Whenever Sunday comes, the kid will definitely come to play on the computer, but today he came here to show off the silkworms he had raised.

    "Uncle Xiao Hao, look, except for this one, they are all colorful cocoons!" This naughty boy proudly held a large cardboard box for Liu Junhao to look at.

    There are several silkworm hills tied with branches beside the carton. Three orange silkworm cocoons have been formed on them, and one has just formed a cocoon. You can clearly see the thickened silkworms inside.

    "Really, the silkworms have spun cocoons, should I take a look too?" Zhang Qian, who was playing on the computer in the back room, ran out immediately when she heard about it.

    Maobao didn¡¯t avoid it this time. His sericulture diary was praised by Teacher Zhang almost every week.

    "Wow, this silkworm cocoon looks very beautiful Hey, do you see it spinning silk?" Zhang Qian pointed to the silkworm cocoon on Silkworm Mountain.DaSi exclaimed in surprise.

    Liu Junhao was dumbfounded when he heard this. What else can silkworms do if they don¡¯t spin silk?  But after thinking about it, I understood that seeing this kind of thing for the first time will indeed arouse some curiosity.

    After Zhang Qian finished speaking, she hurriedly ran back to the house to take pictures with her mobile phone, saying that she would show it to Suna Na later.

    "UmLiu Changlin, can you give me a few of your cocoons later?" She felt more and more beautiful as she looked at them, and finally said embarrassedly.

    The boy was dumbfounded now, secretly resenting that he shouldn't show it off.

    ¡°You¡¯re welcome to ask for the student¡¯s things. We¡¯ll be able to raise some when next spring comes.¡± Looking at the naughty boy¡¯s look of reluctance, Liu Junhao hurriedly said.

    "Well, Teacher Zhang, let me get you a piece of silkworm paper next year." The furry kid also nodded.
