- These little guys haven't stopped since they entered the yard. After teasing the badgers for a while, they turned their attention to the pheasants in the yard and prepared to pull two pheasant tail feathers to play with. Now the pheasants were in trouble. They started clucking and fluttering in the yard. Pheasants are different from domestic chickens in that they can fly. Although these birds in Liu Junhao's courtyard can also fly, they spend most of their time looking for food inside and outside the courtyard. This is the first time they have encountered this situation. At that time, several pheasants were confused and got into the chicken coop in panic.
Jianhui and the others were reluctant and followed them into the chicken coop.
Suddenly, the egg-laying hens in the chicken coop crowed together, and one or two stretched out their necks to peck at them. When Zhang Ma saw this posture, she quickly pulled them out. Several children didn't know the seriousness of it. They were pecked by the hen and absolutely cried in pain.
Unable to catch the pheasant, a few little guys reluctantly caught a native rooster, and then plucked all the long hair on its tail, saying that they would make shuttlecocks later.
"Auntie, I want to eat sunflowers, can you pick one for me?" Ozawa played with the chicken feathers for a while, then turned his attention to the sunflowers in the flower pond.
"I want one too. The sunflowers are so beautiful. Pick one and use it as a hat." Little Tongtong also clapped her hands and shouted.
These little guys are simply bandits. Zhang Qian had a headache. If she was not reluctant to get them some melon seeds to eat, the key point was that they were not yet ripe. Although there are a lot of edible melon seeds in the flower plate now, most of them have just grown out of their shells and have no kernels inside. Picking them at this time is a waste. What's more, the sunflowers in her house can be regarded as a scene in the courtyard. Now that they are picked, only the bare stems are left, which makes the scenery terrible.
To say that the growth of this patch of sunflowers is really extraordinary, it is remarkable that the sunflowers in other people's fields can grow to more than two meters. The ones in my yard are nearly four meters tall. One leaf is as big as a bowl, and the stem below is larger than It's almost as thick as a tea cup, and the flower plate is surprisingly big. She estimated that when the sunflowers were harvested in autumn, the ones she planted in her garden would be enough to harvest a snakeskin bag of melon seeds.
It can be said that everyone who comes to the yard is amazed. Last time when reporter Guo sent out animals in the yard, he specially left a few shots for the sunflowers.
Zhang Qian knows that children always accept death. Once they identify something, they must get rid of it. She originally wanted to spend some time explaining, but Xiao Tongtong suddenly screamed: "I understand the shell"
"Where?" Several children turned their heads in unison.
"Under the sunflower leaves there. Uncle Liu, help us hook the cicada shells." Xiao Tongtong shouted excitedly at the top of her voice. Last summer, she and Xiao Haoyu spent the entire summer hunting for cicada shells and finally bought them. Several hundred dollars. After she went back to school and told her friends about it, they were all envious. The little girl came here in such a hurry this year because she wanted to pick up more cicada shells and sell them for money. When the results came, I heard from Mr. Zhao that the climate this year was dry, and the cicadas hadn¡¯t come out yet.
"I saw it too. I'll get the bamboo pole." Xiao Jianhui also found the cicada shell.
"Where is it, why can't I see it?" After Zhang Qian heard about it, she moved forward to look, but her eyes were not as good as those of several children, and she couldn't find it after looking for a long time.
"There," Tongtong pointed several times. It wasn't until Xiao Jianhui knocked off the cicada shell that Zhang Qian saw it. This cicada shell was obviously recently unearthed, with fresh mud still on it.
"There is also one on the neem leaf. It is too high and cannot be reached." At this time, Xiao Haoyu also found one on the neem tree. However, the four children were too short to reach with bamboo poles, so they had no choice but to ask Zhang Qian for help.
"Call your uncle," Zhang Qian tried, but found that she couldn't reach the stool even if she was standing. She knew the cicada shell was too high. Why did you say it had nothing to do with climbing so high?
"Haha, you don't know how to use your brains, and you don't know how to use the existing resources in the hospital. Let me tell you, if you let me come, I won't use the bamboo poles." Liu Junhao looked at the cicada shell, and then smiled at his wife.
"No need for a bamboo pole. If you have the ability to pick it off, I won't let you do it for lunch today." Zhang Qian looked at her husband unconvinced.
Mother Zhang felt very pleased as she watched the young couple having fun in the courtyard. To say that his vision is not as good as that of his daughter, that girl is stupid in everything she does, and rarely does anything satisfy her since she was a child. For example, when she applied for college, she obviously got a lot of marks and asked her to apply for a better one, but she didn't want to go far and directly chose a university in the city. Isn¡¯t this because I didn¡¯t even pass the exam in this city? At that time, the couple was very puzzled, and they were embarrassed to mention it when people asked about it when they went out.
"Only finding a boyfriend is commendable. Other people's daughters will definitely call home to complain within less than three months after getting married. She was initially afraid that her daughter would be like this, but who knew that such a thing had never happened before. Every time my daughter talks about Liu Junhao on the phone, she babbles a lot, and she distances herself.You can feel her excitement on the phone.
Yaohao is indeed good. Although they are far away and they usually don't have time to go to the city, they are sincere and always make phone calls every now and then, even more frequently than their youngest son. We also let tourists go to the city every two weeks to get some things. There is no shortage of local honey, local eggs, duck eggs, etc. Zhang Ma doesn't really care about gifts or anything like that, the important thing is the intention. Every time they encounter these things, those old sisters are envious. As the saying goes, the water thrown away by a married daughter is poured out by oneself, and half of the son is picked up in vain.
"Okay, this is what you said." Liu Junhao confidently shouted, "Wukong"
As soon as the monkey heard the master's call, he suddenly scurried over.
"Wukong, go up the tree, this thing." Liu Junhao took the cicada shell in Xiao Tongtong's hand, put it in front of the monkey to let it look at it, and then pointed to the cicada shell on the leaves of the neem tree.
"Zhizhi" the monkey said he understood. Then climb up the tree.
"Wukong, come down." Zhang Qian now fully understood, and she called an emergency stop.
"Zhizhi" This was the first time the monkey encountered a situation where the two masters had different opinions. At that time, he was dumbfounded and scratched his head and ears under the tree, not knowing who to listen to.
"You are so shameless, you can't find outside help." Zhang Qian stretched out her hand and pinched Wukong's ear, and the guy followed the mistress obediently.
This guy, he ate the lotus seeds in the morning for nothing. Liu Junhao gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had forgotten that Wukong had exchanged the lotus seeds for his coolies.
"If you still have a way this time, I will definitely admit defeat." Zhang Qian looked at her husband proudly, wanting to see what other tricks he had up his sleeve.
"You want to stump me with such a simple question. You underestimate your husband. Wait" Liu Junhao quickly ran into the house and came out with a slingshot. "I'll show you what I mean." He said casually. Picked up a small clod of soil and put it in the slingshot**.
"If you can hit that leaf, I admire you." Although Zhang Qian knew that her husband's slingshot skills were very good, she didn't believe that he could hit a leaf as big as a copper coin.
"Wait to be admired!" Liu Junhao raised his slingshot and aimed, and there came a line.
Zhao Weidong and others heard the chatter in the courtyard and wanted to come over to join in the fun. However, when they came to the door, they heard the two couples making a bet, and they all stood there with great interest. They wanted to see if Liu Junhao could hit the leaves.
"Pa" Liu Junhao took aim and released without waiting too much. As the soil flew out, a few neem leaves staggered to the ground. Among them is the piece of cicada shell.
"Hit, hit" several little guys shouted excitedly.
"You must be taking risks," Zhang Qian shouted unconvinced.
"Haha, your husband's level is not that good. Let me tell you, when we first practiced slingshots, we used pencils to directly draw dots on the trees. The difficulty was the same as this. Let me touch it again and see the neem branches. Did you get that cicada? How about I knock it down for you to try?" If there is a cicada shell, there will naturally be cicadas. Liu Junhao took a quick look and found a gray cicada hidden on the back of the neem tree. The cicadas that come out at this time are usually ringing cicadas. There are very few mutes. Logically, this guy should scream.
But I probably heard some voices in the yard, so I wisely didn¡¯t call out. However, it still did not escape Liu Junhao's eyes. You must know that this guy is also a master at catching cicadas.
"Where?" When everyone heard that there was a cicada, they all gathered under the tree to check.
The cicada was hiding relatively quietly. It took them a long time to find a black lump sitting on the branch. To be honest, if it weren't for Liu Junhao's guidance, even if they saw it, they would think it was a small dead branch. It's not that difficult to hit with a slingshot from this angle.
"Just bet, I don't believe you can stop this." With so many people watching, Zhang Qian was embarrassed to nod and admit defeat.
This time it is indeed very difficult, and Liu Junhao is not completely sure. When he was a child, he once shot cicadas with a slingshot. Within three meters, ten shots could hit the target. The distance is probably four to five meters, so it's pretty good to be 50% sure.
With the sound of the slingshot leather, only a dull sound was heard, and then "Zhila" flew up from the branch.
"No hit, no hit" This time it was Zhang Qian's turn to shout, but before she could start to rejoice, Na Zhi hovered in the air a few times and fell to the ground.
"We hit it!" Several little guys started cheering. When Xiao Tongtong caught the cicada, everyone discovered that half of the cicada's wings were broken. No wonder it was still struggling a few times just now.
"Awesome, Xiaohao, your level is very high. Even if you knocked down the cicada, did you kill it?" Zhao Weidong sighed very much.
One sweat, this time it is really.It was a collision. He could clearly see the first impact point of the marble just now. It hit the branch directly. As for Zhizhi's half wing, it was purely an accidental injury after the clod of soil was broken.
"Uncle Liu, I want to learn slingshot from you." Xiao Haoyu's eyes were already filled with stars. He thought Uncle Liu's move was so cool.
"I want to learn too, I want to learn too." Jianhui and Zeyu shouted not to be outdone. Boys are more violent and they are very interested in this.
"You still want to study, have you forgotten what happened last time when you broke the school glass?" Zhao Weidong immediately pulled his son back, and then explained with a wry smile: "Xiao Hao did it for him when he came to Liujiagou last time. This kid secretly put a slingshot into his schoolbag when he went back to school. After class, he aimed at the glass of the school and fired. It hit the glass of an office. The female teacher by the window almost cried with fright. Finally, the teacher called He called both of us to school and gave us a hard training. Liu Junhao, you can't teach him this slingshot."
This little guy is just like me when I was a kid. When Liu Junhao was a child, he also liked to practice slingshots against the glass windows of the school, and he was often slapped by Liu Wuye for this.
"That's right, you can't teach them, otherwise what will happen if these little guys go back and use slingshots to cause trouble." Zhang Qian warned worriedly.
The adults were sitting in the courtyard chatting, but the little ones couldn't sit still at all and were all clamoring to go outside and surrender.
Professor Zhao thought there was no danger around him, so he just told them not to go into the water and let them leave.
The four little guys were about to run out with cloth bags and bamboo poles. Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped and said, "Take Wukong with you and ask him to help you if you know how to be high in the shell." There seems to be such a pattern. The newly emerged cicadas are very alert. , generally climb higher. When the cicadas learned more, the height of shelling gradually decreased.
"Great, Wukong, let's go." Tongtong came to hug the monkey excitedly.
Who would have thought that this guy kept retreating. The weather is too hot now, and the monkey doesn't want to go out and suffer.
"I'll give you some sweets" Helpless, the little girl had no choice but to use her trump card.
The monkey was very unprincipled. He surrendered immediately and followed the four of them obediently.
"Wukong is so funny," Zhao Weihong said with a smile, "I was watching "The Book of Wonders" at home a few days ago. I usually don't think that only after watching it, I realized that all the animals in your house are not fuel-efficient lamps. And my dad's two Just Turtledove, a colleague from our unit even begged me to come over and ask, saying he wanted to pay for it."
"That's right, Xiaohao, your yard is quite famous now. People in my workplace were talking about it when I went to work that day. I introduced it at that time as my relative's house, but they all said they were coming over during the summer vacation. have a look."
Although there was no wind in the yard, the leaves of the grape trees were thick and thick, so everyone did not feel hot while eating watermelon and chatting.
"By the way, what happened to the leaves of your poplar tree?" Zhao Weidong's wife ate a piece of melon and accidentally looked up and found that the poplar leaves seemed to have just grown and seemed very fresh.
"It's not just a random incident," Zhang Qian quickly recounted the incident, which once again made them sigh. For people who have never experienced this kind of thing, it is a bit unbelievable that a few little blind people can cause such great harm.
"What's the matter?" Professor Zhao thought they were making a fuss. "In the early years, there was a locust plague in the countryside. Large swaths of locusts covered the sky. Once they flew over, hundreds of acres of crop land could no longer see green."
¡°I¡¯ve also heard people say this. Our village has had locust plagues before, as well as wild goose plagues¡± Liu Junhao nodded in agreement.
"Are wild geese also a disaster?" Everyone expressed doubts again.
"Too much of anything is a disaster. In the past, people didn't have guns, so it was difficult to catch wild geese. At that time, there were thousands of wild geese. They fell in large groups and ate wheat seedlings. When I went there, I found the wheat seedlings even by their roots. If the wild geese fall into someone's field, you won't even be able to cry." Liu Junhao had heard Lao Liutou talk about this several times. He said that when he was a child, Murakami arranged a vigil as soon as he arrived in Harukami, specifically for the wild geese. This thing usually migrates at night, so it is difficult to guard against it, so people can only arrange for people to keep vigil in the fields. As soon as they hear the call of wild geese, they beat the gong. At this time, all the men, women and children in the village rush toward the fields with torches. When the geese see someone below, they will naturally be frightened and run away.
"It's really strange. This is the first time I've heard that wild geese can cause disasters. I always thought it was to protect animals. You're not just making this up, are you?" Zhang Qian sighed after hearing what her husband said. Well, this is a bit subversive of her thinking.
"Xiao Hao is telling the truth. I heard your grandparents tell it before. They said that after the wild geese disaster in spring, people had to go to the fields to pick up wild goose droppings to eat."
"Goose dungMom, stop talking, you are still eating melons." Zhang Qian heard the news and said:??I didn't spit out the watermelon in my mouth.
Liu Junhao had also heard about eating wild goose dung, but looking at his wife¡¯s expression, he didn¡¯t say anything.
"So life is good now. Look at you, you don't want to wear your clothes even if they have some holes in them. You just buy new ones. When we were young, we didn't have new clothes to wear. They were all changed by adults. I remember your grandma gave me some clothes during the Chinese New Year. I bought a new set of clothes but not for your aunt, and as a result, your aunt cried from the New Year's Eve to the first day of the Lunar New Year" Speaking of the past, Zhang's mother began to remember the bitterness and sweetness.
"That's right." Teacher Wang nodded in agreement, "It's the same in my family. I'm the youngest at home, and I wear the eldest sister's clothes every time. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My biggest wish at that time was to quickly join the workforce and earn money. , when you make money, you can wear whatever clothes you want and buy whatever you want.¡±
Several old people were talking about ancient times together. The younger generation didn't know whether to nod or shake their heads. After all, that era was so far away that they had no impression of it at all. Naturally, they had no way of understanding the mood of the old people.
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu, come with me quickly." Just as he was saying this, Xiao Tongtong rushed into the yard. This little girl was sweating profusely in less than half an hour after going out, and there was a lot of mud on her face.
"What are you doing here, Uncle Liu? Look at the mess on your body. Didn't you go pick up cicada shells? Why is there so much mud on your hands?" When Zhao Weihong saw her little princess in this state, she immediately pulled her. Come and reprimand.
"We dug these treasures. Uncle Liu hurriedly followed us. Just now we ran to the back of the yard to find cicada shells, and Wukong led us to find many treasures" The little girl ignored her mother's words at all, with a look on her face. He was excited and his speech was incoherent.
"Digging for treasure?" Liu Junhao asked doubtfully, "Did you find any bad jars again?" Last summer, she and Haoyu had been tossing a lot, and once even dug up a stone near the bridge.
¡°No, we dug this, do you think you can eat it?¡± Tongtong said and took out a dirty thing from her pocket. The thing was as big as a palm, with a lot of mud stuck to it, but the exposed part had a few traces of jade, and it looked like the rhizome of some kind of plant.
"What is this?" Zhao Weihong glanced at it twice, but didn't recognize it at all.
"Thiswhere did you find it? Is it a lot?" Liu Junhao suddenly became excited when he saw the thing.
