The big guy starts with raising pigs

Chapter 211 Sweet Potato Harvest

After driving away the painted face cat, Zhang Hai entered the house and started cooking.

After a while, Uncle Ergou strode in.

"Sister-in-law, is your Xiaohai at home?"

At this time, Wang Guilan was holding Niu Niu in the yard to bask in the sun. Uncle Ergou asked quickly when he saw it.

"Xiao Hai is here, let me call him for you."

So Wang Guilan shouted loudly into the room: "Xiao Hai? Your Uncle Ergou has something to ask for you."

Hearing the commotion outside, Zhang Hai hurried out: "Hey, Uncle Ergou, you are here, come and sit down!"

"Don't sit down, I want to ask, do you still have paraquat at home?" Uncle Ergou asked with a smile.

"I don't have it at home, but the cooperative should have it. Why do you want paraquat? Don't you think about it?" Since Uncle Ergou is not a few years older than Zhang Hai, everyone often jokes with each other.

Hearing Zhang Hai's words, Uncle Ergou suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, then shook his head and explained:

"You're talking nonsense, kid. I found paraquat to poison lice. My Maoya went to her grandmother's house to play for a few days. When she came back, she found lice all over her head and body. I heard that your family There is paraquat, so I am going to ask for some."

Zhang Hai is also very aware of lice, because he was infected with lice when he was a child, and finally had a full body cleaning. Not only did his clothes and pants be scalded several times with boiling water, but his head was also shaved into a big bald head.

Now the sanitation environment in the countryside has also improved, so lice have almost disappeared in the countryside, and it is estimated that they can only be seen in very remote villages.

"Okay, then I'll go to the cooperative to ask for some!" Knowing that the cooperative has one, Uncle Ergou said goodbye and left.

After Uncle Ergou had gone a long way, Zhang Mu Wang Guilan said with emotion: "I didn't expect there are lice now."

Zhang Hai nodded. Now lice are quite rare. It is estimated that it is very difficult to find them as medicine, because as people become more and more hygienic, the lice that once raged wildly in the countryside have almost disappeared.

"Your sister got lice when she was young, I remember we still used dichlorvos to get rid of them!" My mother couldn't help laughing when she thought of getting rid of her elder sister's lice.

Zhang Hai also remembers very clearly that at that time, the eldest sister's head was almost full of lice eggs, and there were patches of white flowers. In the end, my mother was bold and sprayed it with dichlorvos, then wrapped it tightly with a towel, and covered it for a long time Eventually all the lice were wiped out.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

The eldest sister just came back from get off work in the cafeteria, and asked curiously after hearing her mother's feelings.

"Hehe, we're talking about how we exterminated your lice..." Wang Guilan smiled, and told the ins and outs of Uncle Ergou's coming to ask for paraquat.

"Huh? Mao Ya also got lice?" The eldest sister was a little surprised when she heard this.

"That's right, we didn't expect that there are still lice in the countryside!" Wang Guilan was also surprised.

Hearing that Mao Ya was infected with lice, many people in the village went to watch, because lice are really rare in this day and age.

Seeing the lice on the hairy girl, the villagers began to recall the bitterness and sweetness, recalling the difficult years back then, and lamenting the hard-won life now.

"Xiao Hai, the weeds in our orchard have grown tall again. Later, you can bring Pleasant Goats and they will remove the weeds."

During lunch, my mother Wang Guilan told Zhang Hai to come.

"Got it, Mom!"

After Zhang Hai hurriedly finished his meal, he came to the sheepfold in the backyard and brought out the four goats.

The backyard of Zhang Hai’s house used to be a pigsty, but as several large pig farms were put into use, the pigs here were all demolished, and the sunbathing and vegetable gardens were restored.

Soon, Zhang Hai, carrying a hoe and a basket on his back, brought Zhang Feng Yangcun No. [-] Elementary School to the orchard in the back mountain.

"Pleasant Goat is lazy, go eat grass by yourself!"

"What..."

The four little cute goats looked back at Zhang Hai, then took a leisurely step and ate the grass in the field.

After arranging the four goats, Zhang Hai came to the sweet potato field with a hoe on his shoulder. The sweet potatoes here should have been dug long ago, but I didn’t remember it before. It’s good that I took the hoe and the basket today and dug them all back. Home.

So, Zhang Hai raised his hoe and dug quickly,

Zhang Hai is very strong, every time he hoeed, he seemed to dig through the earth's crust, so in less than half an hour, all the sweet potatoes that were about [-] square meters were turned over.

The dug up sweet potatoes almost piled up a hill. Zhang Hai estimated that it should weigh seven to eight hundred catties.

"I'll go, there are so many!"

Zhang Hai was very shocked. He didn't expect to dig so many sweet potatoes with less than two cents of land, and the sweet potatoes dug out this time were big and good, much larger than when he and Yue'er came to dig last time. up.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Hai suddenly realized that it must be because of the golden finger, otherwise he would not have gained so much.

"Xiao Hai, why do you have so many sweet potatoes?"

At some point, the second uncle came over, and when he saw the pile of sweet potatoes in Zhang Hai's field, he was also very shocked and dumbfounded.

You know, Zhang Hai's family only grows one or two cents of land, but the sweet potatoes here are estimated to be about one thousand catties.

"I don't know either? Could it be that the variety is too good?" Zhang Hai replied deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"You kid is talking nonsense!" The second uncle rolled his eyes, "Your sweet potatoes are all pressed from my sweet potato vines, okay? Why don't my sweet potatoes have as many sweet potatoes as yours?"

"Then I don't know anymore?" Zhang Hai spread his hands pretending to be innocent.

"You kid is really lucky. You can plant anything this year. The old man has been planting his whole life. We don't have such good luck!"

Seeing that Zhang Hai asked three questions, the second uncle was also very envious. In the end, he could only lament Zhang Hai's good luck, and felt that all this was the blessing of his ancestors.

About half an hour later, when Zhang Hai returned to the village with a cart full of sweet potatoes, it immediately caused a huge commotion.

"Xiao Hai, why do you have so many sweet potatoes?"

"I'll go, isn't this sweet potato too big? It's estimated to weigh twenty or thirty catties!"

"Holy shit, Brother Hai, you are so good at growing sweet potatoes? I'm afraid this cart must weigh a thousand catties!"

Because they all belong to the same village, the villagers are very aware of the size of Zhang Hai's sweet potato field. Now seeing him bring back a cart full of sweet potatoes, the villagers are beyond shocked.

"Haha, it's all good luck, everyone eat sweet potatoes, don't be polite!"

Seeing the surrounding villagers, Zhang Hai got out of the car and said to everyone with a smile.

"It's fine to eat, but I'm going to take two of them back to make seeds. I don't know if it's okay?"

"No problem, you can take a few back if you want." Zhang Hai waved his hand very generously.

"Haha, thank you, Xiao Hai!"

Seeing Zhang Hai's generosity, the villagers were very happy, and they carried three or five of them home.

After a while, the villagers who heard the news of the bumper harvest of Zhang Hai's sweet potatoes came to watch, and soon a large cart of sweet potatoes was almost wiped out by the villagers.
