- The wind was blowing, sparkling ripples appeared on the river, and the reeds not far away seemed to be hiding thousands of soldiers.
Everyone sat under the big willow tree by the river and faced the mountain breeze, feeling cool all over.
"Uncle, look, your ducks are here." At this time, Xiao Zeyu pointed at the water ducks swimming on the river and shouted. Being startled by him, those guys immediately dived their heads into the water and disappeared without a trace. When they reappeared, they were already five or six feet away.
"This is a wild duck, not from Uncle Liu's yard, it's a domestic duck." Tongtong looked at him with contempt, as if she was saying that she didn't even know this thing, how old-fashioned.
"Then why are they exactly the same as the ducks in my uncle's yard?" Ozawa asked unconvinced.
"This" Tongtong was immediately stopped by the question, her little face turned red, and she finally said, "If someone raises it, it is called a domestic duck, and if no one raises it, it is a wild duck."
"That should be called a wandering duck"
"Wandering duck?" The adults were also stunned. They really didn't know where this word came from.
"You are talking nonsense, there are no stray ducks." Tongtong stood up, pinched his waist with his left hand, and pointed at him with his right hand and shouted.
Who did you learn this posture from? It¡¯s better that the little girl doesn¡¯t grow up and become a barbaric type.
"You don't understand this. Dogs in the city where no one raises them are called stray dogs. Naturally, this duck is called a stray duck." Zeyu explained proudly.
"YouI won't let you play with me anymore. I won't take you with me when I pick up bird eggs later." This girl couldn't argue. Finally, he resorted to threats.
Everyone watched the two of them bickering with interest. Experience the hard-won childishness.
"Sister, come and see. There are many Auntie Auntie here!" Aunt Zhang Qian originally wanted to go to the puddle and wash her hands. Unexpectedly, a large number of arrowroot seedlings were found in the shallow water.
"Where. Where?" Zhang Ma stood up suddenly. Run towards the puddle.
Then she shouted again: "Come here quickly"
Khan, my future mother-in-law made too much fuss, didn¡¯t she just discover Ye Cigu? It was so surprising that people who didn't know it thought Columbus had discovered the New World.
The wild arrowhead is very common in Liujiagou. You can see it in any ditch. The leaves of this thing are triangular in shape with a slit at the end. It suddenly looks a bit like a halberd in ancient weapons. It will bloom white flowers in summer and autumn.
The arrowheads grown from its roots are delicious to eat. When Liu Junhao was a child, he liked to dig them up and roast them. After they are roasted, the aroma is very attractive and they taste delicious.
?????????????????????????????????????: A large patch of arrowroot seedlings in the puddle are green and wild, full of vitality.
¡°You all go down to dig for Cigu, and when you get back, I will cook Cigu roasted meat for you.¡± Zhang Ma said and already rolled up her trouser legs and got into the water, while Aunt Zhang Qian followed closely behind.
Strictly speaking, now is not the best time to eat arrowroot. There is too much water in it now, and arrowroot will only grow firm in winter.
But everyone just wanted to have fun, so everyone jumped into the water and got busy.
This puddle is sandy soil, and the roots of Arrowroot are not deep in the ground, so it doesn¡¯t take much effort to dig. Just follow the Arrowroot seedling and dig it into the sand and dig it, and the entire Arrowroot seedling will be brought out.
Most of the arrowheads in this area are several years old, and many of the arrowheads below are as big as a table tennis ball.
"I haven't seen the wild arrowheads in more than ten years, and I really miss it. We used to live in the suburbs, and there was a pond there. In winter, my little sister and I would go down to the pond to dig for the arrowheads. We brought them home and asked Zhang Qian and her grandmother to give them to her. We make Cigu roasted pork, and the smell can float two miles along the kitchen. The children in the neighborhood are so greedy that they are drooling and looking for it. The meat is best to use pork belly, and the skin should be on. No meat, no skin, no flavor, no sliminess"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhang Ma, holding the Cigu in the sand, began to talk about the ancient times.
"That's right, my mother did it before, but she was poor at that time and couldn't eat a few meals of meat a year." Teacher Wang also followed the words.
With three women in a play, Zhang Ma, Aunt Zhang Qian, and Teacher Wang began to recall the history of that year, and soon the poaching of the Sister-in-Law became a gathering of remembering the bitterness and remembering the sweetness.
And sister-in-law Zhang Qian held her hand in a low voice and asked about beauty knowledge. Every time she saw her sister-in-law, she would eagerly ask her to see if she had any new skin care tips.
A few people played lively in the puddle for half an hour before Zhang Qian remembered that her mother was not in good health. She was afraid that she would be tired from working for a long time, so she urged her to go ashore.
Who would have thought that the more Zhang Ma talked, the happier she became, and her hands and feet became much more agile.There was no sign of fatigue at all.
By the way, mom looks very good these days, right? Only then did she notice something unusual. I remember that my mother¡¯s hair used to be white with few black strands visible, but now it looks like the hair stubble is much darker than before.
The same goes for Auntie. Although her face is still a bit haggard, her complexion is much better than the last time I saw her.
This should be the result of local honey. She must collect some more honey for her mother to take back later. Zhang Qian secretly made up her mind.
When Zhang Ma Xingjin passed, the people washed their feet and went ashore
Things are ready to go home. After all this fuss, Xiao Zeyu also forgot to pick up bird eggs.
As the sun set, Zhang Ma and others continued to work on dinner in the kitchen, while a few men moved a chair to sit by the lotus pond to enjoy the cool air.
Seeing Professor Zhao happily teasing the two little turtle doves on his shoulders, Dad Zhang was very envious.
"Don't envy me. My daughter and son-in-law live here. You two are retired anyway, so why not retire here. I don't believe Xiaohao doesn't care about you." Professor Zhao joked with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Dad Zhang really thought about it. In two years, he no longer wants to live in the city and might as well move to the countryside. There is no need to bother my daughter and son-in-law, just build a small yard next to it, plant a row of fruit trees on the east side, and plant a few miscellaneous trees on the west side, such as elm trees and acacia trees. Then dig a pressure well, plant loofah, eggplant, pepper on the edge of the courtyard wall It is best to raise a group of chickens, so that you don't have to worry about eating eggs.
Dinner is mainly light, and the main dish is the Ci Gu roasted pork cooked by Zhang Ma. Not to mention, this dish of hers is really a unique skill. Although the dish looks oily, it is not greasy at all. Moreover, they burned Ci Gu¡¯s flour, powder and incense.
The rest of the meal consisted of hard-boiled salted eggs cut into half bowls, with orange-red egg yolks dripping with oil, fresh-faced steamed buns with sweet potatoes, and a large pot of thick mung bean soup
At night, everyone became interested in catching cicadas again. The beginning of autumn is coming soon, and there are far fewer cicadas crawling out than in previous days. But this couldn't stop a few people from being interested and looking around with handheld lamps. Even Zhang Qian's parents joined in.
From a distance, I heard Zhang Ma scolding loudly: "Old man, there is another one over there. Did you see it? What are you looking at"
A group of people held portable lights and caught more than 50 people until after nine o'clock. Finally, Teacher Wang fried a large plate for everyone to taste. Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao just put down their chopsticks after picking one up symbolically, as did Haoyu and Tongtong.
These days, they eat a lot of cicadas.
Zeyu ate it with gusto, and killed most of it by himself.
After finishing the midnight snack, the weather cooled down completely. After everyone washed up, they went back to their houses to sleep.
According to the prior arrangement, a group of senior men slept at Professor Zhao¡¯s house, while the others slept at Liu Junhao¡¯s place.
The summer nights in the countryside are very quiet. You can't hear the noise of cars coming and going, just the low singing of summer insects in your ears.
In the morning, while sleeping soundly, three little guys came over and knocked on the door, so a bunch of people got up early.
After a night¡¯s rest, several old people seemed to be in high spirits.
?Brush your teeth, wash your face, and have breakfast. After dinner, Liu Junhao accompanied everyone to the mountains for fun.
In the morning, it was a busy time on the mountain. Sparrows, woodpeckers, orioles and other birds of various colors kept chirping all the way. From time to time, pine trees and rabbits flashed past our eyes.
No one went into the mountain, they just walked around the outside. When they got tired, they found a big rock to sit down and rest.
Along the way, they got most of the bags of wild vegetables and wild mushrooms, and of course they also ate too much wild fruits. Now the three little guys each had a handful of sour baby in their hands and were eating it deliciously. Zeyu, in particular, kept sucking and stuffing it into his mouth. Wang Yun refused to listen to him no matter how much he tried to persuade him.
This sour baby is a kind of berry in the mountains. It is slightly smaller than a fingernail. It turns purple-black when ripe. It tastes sour and sweet in your mouth. Adults feel their teeth are sore after eating a few, but these little guys are very delicious.
"Uncle Liu, come here and let me tell you something." Liu Junhao was just about to take them to Nanshan for a walk, when Xiao Zeyu secretly grabbed him.
"What's the matter?"
"Where is the toilet on the mountain? I want to pee." He shouted in a low voice.
¡°You can just find any place, why, you¡¯re afraid of being seen.
"This little guy, I heard that he wets the bed sometimes, but now I feel embarrassed.
"No." He shook his head like a rattle, but soon he couldn't help it anymore and asked Wang to lead him behind the big tree.
"Ah" Within a minute, suddenlyThere was a scream from Xiao Zeyu.
Then Wang Yun also shouted loudly: "Hong Bin, come here quickly"
Something happened? Several people were startled and ran quickly towards the place where the sound came from.
"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Brother Zhang Qian was the first to arrive and hurriedly held his wife and children in his arms and asked.
"On the ground on the ground" Wang shouted while stamping his feet.
"Hiss" Brother Zhang Qian took a look and hurriedly pulled them back. He waited until they reached a safe distance before stopping and staring blankly not far away.
I saw that the grass was densely crawling with ants, and they were surprisingly big. Each ant was two or three centimeters long. When I took a quick look at it, I felt it was very scary.
Just now, Xiao Zeyu didn't notice the situation on the ground at all. When he finished relieving himself and was about to turn around and leave, he found himself standing on a pile of ants and screamed immediately. Wang Yun even found several large ants crawling on his trouser legs. Ant.
"It's okay, you guys" At this time, everyone rushed over.
