- After two days of continuous autumn rain, there was no trace of summer.
By this time, the cicada had already stopped its annoying chirping. As the saying goes, a grasshopper after autumn cannot jump for a few days. The same is true for cicadas. As they age, these guys' movements become slower and slower.
Many of them fell into the grass when blown by the autumn wind, unable to fly again.
The hens in the yard are very lucky. They are wandering in the woods all day long. When he found the old cicada, he immediately pounced on it and pecked it fiercely. Every time they came back, they were full and did not need to be fed by Liu Junhao at all.
He hadn¡¯t eaten chicken for a long time. Looking at the group of little roosters, he was thinking about when to start killing them.
A total of chicks were raised in spring, and the hatch rate was almost 100%. Moreover, these chicks run wild outside every day, eating grasshoppers and catching caterpillars. They have great vitality and have not lost a single one since hatching.
Not counting the dozens of chickens given to Professor Zhao and his wife, he now raises more than 50 chickens in his own yard, including about 20 roosters. They are all young chickens this year and have now grown to three or four pounds. It's heavy and you can eat it.
Qiuli already had a nest, and now it¡¯s almost time to hatch. This was originally unplanned. If he hadn't wanted to hatch the wild eggs, he wouldn't have wanted the old hen to continue hatching them.
If we keep hatching like this, we will really have a full-scale chicken farm in our yard.
By the way, these days, his eggs are sold a lot. Even though these eggs are not very eye-catching, they still cost 1,800 yuan in one summer.
Having eaten in the morning. Liu Jun put the saddle on Red Rabbit. Then he rode towards the river beach.
The reeds on the river beach have also lost their former lush green color. Now it is withered and yellow. Looking from afar. It adds a bit of mystery.
Find a place with beautiful water and fertile grass, scatter the red rabbits, and sit down on the grass to read a book.
??Looked at it for a while. I simply closed the book out of boredom. Lie under your head and look at the clouds in the sky.
Who knew I just lay down. I heard a buzzing in my ears.
Are there still bees this season? Liu Junhao quickly sat up straight. But I found that it was my own kind of plump earthworms. I didn't expect that the place where they collect honey is quite far away. They all ran to the river beach.
Now is the season when wild radish flowers are in full bloom. Plant small beige flowers that smell fragrant and attract bumble bees.
The stems and leaves of wild radish suddenly look similar to carrots, but their rhizomes are much smaller and not as sweet as carrots. But the taste is quite unique and delicious. Liu Junhao liked to eat it when he was a child.
When Red Rabbit was full, he mounted Red Rabbit and rushed back.
As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I heard a "bada" sound. I looked up and saw another date falling down.
Since the dates in the yard have matured day by day, those greedy birds have taken a liking to this place and have been flying to the date trees all day long. These guys' jujube-pecking skills are really not very good. Every time they just take two bites, they fall to the ground.
In just half a day, a thick layer fell on my skin, more than I could hit with a bamboo pole.
"Give these guys some clues. They don't know the surname of Second Brother Wang."
Liu Junhao retrieved Doudou and pointed to the tree with his finger. This guy jumped up and rushed to the top of the jujube tree.
But before it could get closer, the bird flapped its wings and flew to another tree.
Doudou is very busy now, running back and forth on several jujube trees. Those birds seemed to have learned the lesson and started to engage in guerrilla warfare. They immediately moved away as soon as the tabby cat climbed onto the jujube tree.
After trying this several times, Doudou was completely irritated. He arched his body and jumped from the adjacent branch to another jujube tree. Caught off guard, Hui Mazar was almost caught by it and was so frightened that he didn't dare to fly into the yard for most of the day.
What a good guy, he actually learned how to fly across the sky.
Liu Junhao looked down and was quite surprised. The tabby cat he picked up was really a living treasure, and new things happened every day.
¡°And what made him dumbfounded was that this guy was still a two-faced guy. He acted like a grandson in front of Xiaopi and didn¡¯t even dare to take a breath.
But as soon as it turned around, it went to bully someone else's child - Doudou.
The tabby cat relied on its agility to make the little yellow dog bark wildly every time. Fortunately, that guy didn't know how to complain to Xiaopi, otherwise it would have been enough for him to drink a pot.
There is one more thing in Pi's daily life now, and that is that as soon as his owner goes out on the street, he will immediately follow him.
At first, Liu Junhao thought it was reluctant to abandon him. Who knew that when he got to the street, this guy ran towards Zhao Guangming's house. Standing on the courtyard wallAfter barking a few times, the black panther immediately came out to greet him.
???????????????????? It turns out that I was just being sentimental, and I was here for a tryst.
Liu Junhao stayed in the courtyard for a while, and just as he was about to go back to the house to play on the computer, he heard Liu Laosan¡¯s wife standing at the door and shouting.
"What's the matter?" He hurriedly greeted her.
"Didn't you ask me to leave some good cotton for you a few days ago? Now my house has a lot of cotton to dry. You can take a sack and check it out.
I¡¯ll weigh you later. "
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Liu Lao's third daughter-in-law said this, and Liu Junhao remembered what he had told her last time.
According to the rules in rural areas, you must buy several quilt covers when you get married. Originally, he thought of ordering directly online, which would save a lot of effort.
I checked a lot on the Internet and found that "Yangyangyang, x Yuanxiang" is very good and the price is cheap, so I was ready to order it. Who knew that Zhang Qian knew about it and immediately stopped her, saying that the quilt cover was made of silk and was not warm at all.
As for the wool quilt that Liu Junhao was interested in, she thought it was expensive and not suitable for use.
In the end, the two of them discussed it and decided to use cotton to make their own plans. Cotton duvet covers are not only economical but also comfortable to cover. He didn't grow cotton at home, so he had to beg the villagers to leave some for him.
There used to be very little cotton in Liujiagou, but gradually, people in the village no longer wanted to grow it. The main reason is that this thing is too time-consuming. From the time the seedlings emerge, people need to carry a medicine cartridge to apply the medicine. During the flowering period, which happens to be the hottest time, people need to apply it once a day, otherwise the small cotton bolls that have just emerged will be infected by the cotton bolls. The insect was wiped out.
When picking cotton bolls, you must break them open one by one immediately, otherwise the cotton will turn yellow and black in two days, and the quality of the cotton will decline. After breaking out the cotton, it needs to be dried. If it suddenly rains one day, the cotton bolls may rot.
In a word, growing cotton is labor-intensive. The price is not low, but after calculating the cost, the income is about the same as other cash crops.
Therefore, there are fewer and fewer cotton farmers in recent years. In the end, the family can only plant a few pieces of land, saving it for autumn.
Junhao was a little unsure as to how many quilt covers he should wear, so he finally thought about it and decided to call Zhang Qian.
When they arrived at Liu Laosan¡¯s house, they were both shocked by the cotton drying in the yard. On the mats on the ground and on the roofs, there was snow everywhere.
"Third aunt, your family is going to make a fortune in cotton this year." Liu Junhao greeted with a smile.
"What's the point of making a fortune? If my family had your eel-raising skills, it would be called a fortune. These are dried and picked, you can see how much you want." Mrs. Liu Laosan also smiled from ear to ear.
The weather is good this year, and it hasn¡¯t rained much in a while. Her family¡¯s cotton harvest was bumper, and she sold more than 400 kilograms of cotton last time.
"Haha," Liu Junhao smiled without reply, stepped forward, pinched a piece of cotton, put it in his mouth and bit it, the cotton seed made a popping sound. This is the sound of complete drying, and those cotton seeds with too much water cannot be chewed at all.
Although Zhang Qian didn¡¯t understand, she still learned how to pinch one and put it in her mouth.
The two finally decided to buy two quilt covers. Anyway, he still had extra quilt covers at home, so even if relatives came over in the future, they would still have something to cover them with.
Get a sack of cotton, then pay and leave. Zhang Qian wanted to lend a hand to help carry it, but Liu Junhao stopped her.
Although there was a lot of cotton in this sack, it was still quite heavy when it was lifted. For him, it was a piece of cake.
Before I got home, I saw a car parked at the door from a distance.
"Xiaohao, what did you do?" Before he could get there, he saw Zhao Weidong coming out of Professor Zhao's yard.
"Brother Zhao is here. The old man has been talking about you these days. I just went to the village to get some cotton, and I am going to make some quilt covers in the next two days. Come in and drink tea" He said and quickly asked Zhang Qian to take it from his pocket. Zhong took out the key and opened the door.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Zhao Weidong naturally knew that the two of them were getting married and said with a smile, "Don't forget to treat me to a wedding banquet then."
¡°Can¡¯t forget, can¡¯t forget.¡± After Liu Junhao put the cotton on the ground, he had the opportunity to chat with him.
This time Zhao Weidong and his wife came to pick up Haoyu and Tongtong back to the city to go to school. It is said that these two little guys didn't even want to go home to play. Every time they called to pick them up, the two of them shouted no, saying they wanted to spend time with their grandparents.
Zhao Weidong and his wife also had this intention, so they did not force it. Now that the elementary school is about to start, it is natural to take them back.
Liu Junhao also went over to accompany him during lunch. Zhao Weidong had to drive in the afternoon, so neither of them drank.
Although the two little guys were reluctant to leave, they still left in the car obediently in the afternoon. Of course before leaving he?I took back all the miscellaneous things I had collected these days, saying that I wanted to open the eyes of the friends in the city.
It should be said that Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong really spent their summer vacation in vain. When the cicadas came out of their shells a few days ago, they searched everywhere for them, and now they have sold more than 500 yuan.
Before leaving, Professor Zhao was so angry with them that he had a headache every day.
Now that he was about to leave suddenly, he was a little reluctant, and couldn't help but tell Zhao Weidong and his wife: "We will send them here during the National Day holiday. At that time, the village will be very busy with big operas."
¡°Without the two of them, Liu Junhao also felt that his yard was much deserted.
If you have nothing to do, let¡¯s play chess with Professor Zhao. Ever since, the two began to think about chess again.
