Text Chapter 303 The inspection team arrives

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Two days ago I saw that the silkworms of my furry baby had spun cocoons.  Zhang Qian began to pay attention to her own spring silkworms and planned to use her camera to take pictures of them spinning cocoons.  To say that feeding silkworms seemed troublesome to her, but watching it, it was still attractive.

    She never thought that things were completely unexpected. Two days had passed and there was no sign of cocooning on the silk. Now she became anxious and called her husband into the room and asked, "Why haven't our silkworms formed cocoons yet?"  Could something be wrong?"

    "It's okay, it should be time soon." Silkworms have no rules for making cocoons. Even if they are raised from the same nest, the cocooning time will sometimes be wrong by half a month.  His silkworms are fed with mulberry leaves in the backyard from time to time, so they grow larger, and it is normal for them to form cocoons later.

    It happened as soon as it happened. Within a few days, the silkworms stopped eating and began to crawl up the paper wall.  In this case, the silkworms are about to spin silk and form cocoons, so they should be placed separately.  Otherwise, once the silkworms in the carton spin cocoons, they will definitely seal the mouth of the carton with silk, making it impossible for people to continue feeding.  Those spring silkworms that were still eating were out of food.  You can only start cocooning in advance.  In the rush, silk reserves were insufficient, and a large part of the silkworm cocoons produced were relatively thin. When the weather got cold, the silkworm chrysalis would freeze to death inside.

    According to Liu Junhao¡¯s idea, these silkworms that are going to spin cocoons can be placed alone in an empty carton. Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian didn¡¯t think so and said she wanted to find a tree branch to build a mountain of silkworms.  Seeing that she has a very good temper, Liu Junhao can only follow his wife's request.  He randomly brought back a few reed poles in the yard, and then tied them with wires to form a silkworm hill.

    "This Canshan Mountain is too ugly, it has no sense of beauty at all!" Zhang Qian rejected it after just one glance.

    "We think the eggs are delicious and there is no need to ask the hens who lay them to be beautiful, right? The main thing is whether the cocoon is good or not. Why is the silkworm cocoon so beautiful?" He felt that it was necessary for his wife to distinguish between priorities.

    "You will know when the time comes, and I am right. I will definitely give you a surprise then" Hearing that, she secretly played a big game of chess.

    "I want to see where the joy comes from." Liu Junhao really couldn't think of any tricks his wife could play on this, but everything went as she said.

    The two of them walked around the courtyard for a long time, but Zhang Qian couldn't find a suitable branch to build a silkworm mountain.  She refused to give up until she achieved her goal, and finally took her husband to search in the woods.

    "This is it, great, this is the most suitable quickly chop it down with a machete." After searching for almost an hour, Zhang Qian finally stopped.

    "Are you sure?" Liu Junhao followed his wife's fingers and found only an unexpected elm tree stump.  There was a branch sticking out from the tree stump. The leaves on it had been eaten clean by unknown animals, leaving only four or five thin branches.

    He was a little suspicious of his wife's vision. This was the so-called surprise.  I was surprised, but not necessarily happy.  The elm knots can be burned as firewood, but Liu Junhao has not yet seen other uses.

    "Yes, you chop it like this. Be careful not to knock off the branches." Zhang Qian took out a carbon pen and drew a line on it.

    "It's easy, it's up to me." Liu Junhao breathed into his hand, then picked up the machete and started chopping.  The elm tree stump had long been hollowed out by beetles, and the wood was extremely loose. In less than five minutes, Liu Junhao chopped off the branches.

    "That's great, just what I want." As soon as the branch was cut down, Zhang Qian excitedly held it in her arms, like a baby.

    "Wife, are you okay?" Liu Junhao wondered if she had some kind of hysteria. What's so good about this elm pimple.

    "Go, what do you know." Zhang Qian saw the look in her husband's eyes and knew what he was thinking, but in order to give her husband an unexpected surprise, she didn't bother to refute.

    After returning home, Zhang Qian started to get busy.  Liu Junhao wanted to step forward to help, but she turned him away, saying that he was not allowed to peek.

    In two days, those spring silkworms began to spin cocoons one after another.  Zhang Qian will always take over the responsibility of picking spring silkworms.  When she went to school, she would tell her husband before leaving the house: "Don't peek in when I'm not at home."

    If you don¡¯t want to watch it, don¡¯t watch it. Do you think I care about it?

    Liu Junhao mumbled in agreement.  In his heart, he was curious about what kind of medicine his wife was selling in this gourd. If it had to be made so mysterious, wouldn't it just be a cocoon made by silkworms?  As if no one has seen it.

    His wife has gone to school, and he has also started to get busy. It¡¯s time for the spring beans to climb, and now they have to set up their shelves early.  Last year's bean seeds were straight. Just spread them into the ground, so there was no need for such trouble.  Moreover, that variety is willing to bear fruit. Last year, more than 20 nests were planted. As a result, he and Professor Zhao's family had no shortage of vegetables all summer.  When they were sorting out the bean seedlings in the fall, they also collected a large basket of beans. Zhang Ma happened to be there at the time and made dried beans for them.

    I planned to plant this variety again this year, but that day Liu Junhao put the seeds on theHe was hanging it on the board to dry, but when something happened in the village, he was called over to help.  Before leaving, he specifically told his wife not to let the birds peck at the beans.  Zhang Qian agreed very well, but she forgot all about it in the blink of an eye.  When Liu Junhao rushed home, all the beans were pecked.

    Zhang Qian was quite embarrassed and went to the street to buy a bag of seeds on Sunday.  However, she didn't ask clearly when she bought it. After buying it, she found out that it was a climbing seedling.

    The bean stand is easy to build, just pile a few reed poles into a tripod.  It only took half an hour to clean up completely.  Of course, he also caught two big caterpillars from the bean seedlings and threw them into the water to feed the eels.

    After finishing busy with the bean seedlings, Liu Junhao turned to look at the cucumber seedlings on another piece of ground. It was almost time to climb the seedlings.  It's still early, so I've already set up the cucumber stand by the way, so there's no need to worry about it a second time.

    The next step is weeding. The spring water in Shisuo has brought a bumper harvest of fruits and vegetables in the backyard, but it has also had a negative impact, that is, weeds have grown wildly.

    Generally, if there are weeds in people¡¯s plots, just apply some herbicides to eliminate the weeds.  But there were eels in the ditch in his backyard.  Do not spray pesticides, otherwise when it rains, pesticide residues will flow into the ditches.  In that case, the eel will suffer.

    This weed is too hateful. It grows very fast. I almost pulled it out yesterday, and the next day the ground was green again.

    After eating in the morning, Liu Junhao stuck his butt out and was busy in the backyard. It was not until 10:30 that he pulled the weeds clean from the two fields.

    I don¡¯t feel it when I¡¯m working, but when I take a break, sweat pours down my forehead, as if it¡¯s raining lightly.  Liu Junhao quickly poured a glass of honey water, then sat under the shade of a tree with a cattail leaf fan and fanned randomly.

    After fanning for a while, the heat did not dissipate, but my hands became sore from fatigue.

    It happened that the monkey became interested in the cattail leaf fan. Liu Junhao pushed the cattail leaf fan into his hand and asked the monkey to help him fan it.  Wukong felt fresh when he came into contact with it. He held the handle of the fan with his two paws and started fanning enthusiastically.

    Now Liu Junhao felt comfortable, lying there like the county magistrate, drinking honey water calmly.

    "Zhizhi" When the monkey saw the owner's attitude, he immediately kicked off his feet and handed the cattail leaf fan back again.

    It¡¯s not that easy to go on strike.  Liu Junhao fumbled out a few fruit candies from inside the room, and then pointed to the cattail leaf fan.  The monkey understood what his master meant: If you want to eat sweets, please fan me.

    After all, he couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of the candy, so Wukong could only grab the cattail leaf fan again and start fanning it.

    "You kid, even if you know how to enjoy yourself, you still have the nerve to let Wukong fan you. How are you any different from the landlords in the old society?" Professor Zhao happened to come over for a visit and couldn't help being happy when he saw this scene.

    "Haha, Uncle Zhao is here." With outsiders around, Liu Junhao was embarrassed to squeeze the monkey's surplus labor too much, so he could only stuff the remaining candies into the monkey's hands.  The guy suddenly screamed excitedly.

    "You are at home. Why didn't anyone answer Liu Guangju's phone call for a long time just now?" Professor Zhao asked doubtfully.

    "Uncle Guangju called, why didn't I know?" Liu Junhao hurriedly ran to the house to check the phone, only to find that the thread had fallen off at some point. No wonder no one had called in the past two days.  The phone cord will not become loose for no reason, it must be a good thing done by our own monkey.

    "Your home phone number didn't get through, so Liu Guangju called me. He said he would let you over later. He had something to ask for." The old man passed the message and turned away.

    I don¡¯t know what happened to the branch secretary, so I kept calling him.  If you can't get through, you can just go to the door. You have to find someone else to inform you.  Liu Junhao shook his head quite depressedly. This man's official arrogance is getting bigger and bigger!  He was afraid that it was an emergency, so he didn't dare to delay, locked the door and walked towards the village.

    "Xiaohao, what's going on with your phone? I can't get through." As soon as he arrived at the door of Liu Guangju's house, he was already welcomed out.

    "The plug is loose. I didn't notice it before. This is" Liu Junhao was suddenly startled when he saw the two people in the room.

    "These two are college students from the city who came to our Liujiagou for inspection" Liu Guangju introduced them to each other enthusiastically.

    "I know them. We came here last time. Sun Yutao and Xu Dongfang, right?" They came here for inspection last summer, and it was Liu Junhao who led them.  At that time, they wanted to ask Liu Junhao in person to take charge, but they declined. In the end, several children from the village served as guides.

    "Haha, we are all old friends." Xu Dongfang smiled and stretched out his hand.

    "Welcome." Liu Junhao also reached out and shook it.  It must be said that he is really not used to this orthodox way of greeting.

    "Since we all know each other, it's easy to talk. Haha, Xiaohao, they are getting ready to go up the mountain.Stay for a few days and you can be my guide.  "Liu Guangju interjected from the side.

    "Uncle Guangju, I can't leave." Hearing these words again, Liu Junhao quickly refused, "See if you can leave the stall in my courtyard away from people. What should I do if someone comes to buy eels during the day? You'd better go to the village.  Someone else"

    "Others, other people are busier. Think about who in our village is not busy in the fields at this time. You are the only one who is idle"

    Although it¡¯s not yet time to cut wheat, the villagers have already begun to get busy, mainly interplanting spring peanuts and spring corn in the wheat fields.  This is the most tedious job. The wheat seedlings have grown to half a person's height and are in the grain-filling stage.  You must be very careful when planting peanuts in the ground, otherwise the wheat will easily be overpowered.  Wheat stems are relatively weak, and if they fall down, a large area will be destroyed.

    Of course, the wisdom of the working people is infinite, and someone invented the brace.  Tie two reed poles into a "V" shape and put them on the waist, with the tips pointed at the front, and then hang them around your neck with a rope.  Along the way, the wheat will be separated naturally, and the wheat seedlings will not be hurt at all.

    "What about the eels in my courtyard? How about you go up the mountain yourself? Anyway, you have been there several times and you are familiar with the road."

    "Let them go up the mountain. What if they encounter a wild boar or something? There are no wolves on the outside of Daqing Mountain, so we can't be sure of the inside. The eel asked Professor Zhao to help look after it. In the past, when you went to your old mother-in-law's house, they didn't greet you very well.  If you don't agree, I'll find your wife." But Liu Guangju knew that he was just cheating.  He has known since he was a child that this man is the kind of person who won't be led away and goes backwards. He will only obey the order to die.

    "Yes, I'm not good enough to be a guide." Liu Junhao could only nod in agreement after seeing what he was saying.  To be honest, he was really too lazy to run up the mountain this season. Now he sat in the courtyard, drinking honey, and felt as comfortable as he could during his little life.

    "Thank you. Liu Changlin already told us when he was our guide last time that you know the birds on the mountain very well. If you want to find a bird's nest, I can go directly to you." Sun Yutao saw them talking and also praised with a smile.  One sentence.

    "Haha, this is not a boast." Liu Junhao is quite confident in his bird watching skills. The last time he accompanied Pang Xu, a foodie, up the mountain, he accidentally exposed himself.

    "Our investigation this time has something to do with birds, Zhu? You know, right?" Xu Dongfang asked, lifting his eyes.

    "Why don't I know this? Isn't it called the national bird? It is mainly found in the Qinling Mountains of Shaanxi Province. I heard that it has been bred to thousands." Liu Junhao answered fluently.  There is also an article about Zhu? in the primary school Chinese textbook. The last time my wife made a lesson plan, he looked up the pictures on the Internet, so he is quite familiar with this thing.

    "That's easy to handle. Do you know if there are any on our mountain?" Sun Yutao asked.

    "Daqingshan are you kidding? How can there be vermilion in Daqingshan?" Liu Junhao looked at the two of them in surprise. The whole world knew that only that place in Shaanxi still had vermilion, and no other places had it.

    "It's not that it doesn't exist, it's just that it hasn't been discovered yet. As far as we know, someone in your village has seen it," Xu Dongfang explained.

    "Who?" Liu Junhao was even more surprised.  Someone in Liujiagou has seen Zhu? This is no different from Arabian Nights.  When he was a child, he was called the Bird King for no reason. To put it bluntly, he raised more birds than some people have ever seen.  When I was in elementary school, I was fascinated by bird raising.  As long as I saw the birds, I would try to find a few baby birds to keep and play with.  He has caught green thorns, woodpeckers, goose caps and even kingfishers.  Speaking of kingfishers, it¡¯s not easy to catch them.  They are so clever that few people see kingfisher nests. It was only by chance that Liu Junhao discovered that these things can actually dig holes on the shore.  The hole was deeper than a mouse hole, and it took him a long time to dig to the bottom.

    Therefore, when it comes to his knowledge of the surrounding birds, Liu Junhao considers himself to be one of the best in Liujiagou.

    "Master Liu Wu from your village, he said he met Zhu Xi when he was young?"
