Xanadu space
Chapter 168
"It's just a few eggs, can you be so serious?"
Seeing the group of children leave, Li Houtu couldn't help complaining.
Zhang Xiang glanced at Lao Li, he seemed to be right, eggs are nothing?Who hasn't been naughty when they were young, the cucumbers from the boss and the jujubes from the west, when the child was young, the greedy one would not steal a few.
I did the same with Zhang Gao when I was a child, but this time I always feel that these boys are not too old, and secondly, I specially take a boat to go to the island, I always feel a little bit like that!
Zhang Xiang felt that it was wrong not to let them know that children were naughty and greedy at first, but when they were older, if they couldn't change it for a while, the plot would become more serious!
There is only a village primary school in Zhangjiadian. The adults in the countryside do a lot of farm work, and the children are a little laissez-faire. What he is afraid of is "stealing the needle when he is young, and stealing gold when he is old."
"It's always wrong for them to do this. I have to make them remember better and pay more attention next time!"
Zhang wanted to smile, did he care too much, a bit of a mother-in-law?
Li Houtu looked at Zhang Xiang's small courtyard again, and smiled in amazement;
"I can't tell, you can keep this place in order by yourself, and next time you come, you can eat the loofah you planted!"
Indeed, Zhang thought that the loofah in the yard looked the same for a few days, and had almost climbed to the top of the courtyard wall, and some places had begun to branch, which seemed to be pregnant with flower buds.
The pepper has also grown a lot taller, now it is more than ten centimeters, and the leaves are dense, like holding up a small umbrella!
They drank tea and chatted in the courtyard.Patiently waiting for these little guys to come!
Soon there were footsteps outside, Wu Liang and another boy came first, who seemed to be related to Second Uncle Wang.Also has the appearance of eleven or twelve years old, and is fat and strong!
The two little guys were holding a basket in one hand, and a big gourd scoop in the other, both of which were full of more than a dozen eggs!
They blushed and put the eggs on the stone table, and then looked at Zhang Xiang, those eyes flickering very brightly, which made him feel a little liking in his heart.
"Uncle, you have to keep your word, and you must not let my mother know, or it will be terrible!"
The fat and strong boy said nervously.This made Zhang Xiang dumbfounded, and thought to himself, "I don't even know who your parents are? Who should I talk to!"
"Well, but you can't row to the island next time, can you?"
Zhang wanted to nod.Then watch them bite their lips after agreeing.Taking advantage of the gap in the schoolbag in the back room, I made a big pot of peanuts and walnuts, and a lot of dried persimmons...
Returning the schoolbags to them, Zhang Xiang pointed to the large bowl of dried fruit and motioned them to eat them. The two children hugged the schoolbags tightly, glanced at each other, and exchanged expressions.
Finally, with joy on their faces, everyone grabbed a handful of what they liked.You don't even need to wipe it, just put it in your mouth and eat it!
"Eat. There are so many here, I can take some back later!"
Zhang wanted to see how delicious their food was, and he began to wonder, are these things really so delicious?
The two little guys hadn't finished their food, and two more kids came outside, and the oldest one came too!
They more or less held more than a dozen eggs in their hands, and put them all on the stone table. When they were bold enough to take away their schoolbags, they could grab a handful of peanuts at the same time!
"Hey, why is there one more person who didn't come!"
Zhang Xiang looked at the stone table, and there was a dirty schoolbag there, probably its owner hadn't come yet!
"Uncle, it's Liu Dabo who hasn't come yet!"
"He might have been caught by his mother!"
"No, he went directly to get the eggs, and didn't go home at all!"
These four were eating, still guessing why the kid named Liu Dabo didn't come! While talking, they saw Liu Dabo standing timidly by the door, looking enviously at the schoolbag in his friend's hand !
"Uncle, the egg I hid is gone! I can't find it no matter what!"
Liu Dabo actually cried with a "wow", which shocked Zhang Xiang. You said that you are such a big child, why did you just cry?
"Forget it, don't cry, take your schoolbag back! Get something to eat!"
Zhang Xiang handed over the schoolbag on the stone table, and motioned him to get something to eat, seeing that he stopped crying, he asked curiously.
"Where did you hide the egg, why can't you find it?"
While peeling the peanuts and eating them, Liu Dabo said puzzledly, "I hid the eggs in the straw pile at my house, right behind my house!"
As soon as the child's words fell, Li Houtu and Zhang Xiang both felt it was funny, they must have been taken as some kind of chicken, and the eggs secretly laid in the straw pile were put away!
"Well, it's okay if you can't find it. Remember not to go to Xiaodao Mountain next time. If you want to eat eggs, you can get them from Uncle. Everyone will share some of these peanuts. If it's too late, go back!"
Zhang wanted to see that these children were not bad in nature, and knew they were wrong. After getting their guarantee, he let them all leave!
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Houtu said goodbye to Zhang Xiang.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xiang was surprised to see his uncle coming early in the morning. After Mr. Wang left, it was rare that Zhang Hongdong still insisted on helping Taolin and Tiansheng every day.
Although the deformed little hairy peaches are all picked now, there is still a lot of gum, and there are groups of ants, smelling the smell of gum, and they all crawled over.
In a situation where there are many ants like this, many fruit growers choose to use pesticides, which easily kills those ants and some insects!
But Zhang didn't want to advocate the use of pesticides, so Zhang Tiansheng and Zhang Hongdong used that kind of simple method, followed the places where the ants had crawled, found the ant nest, and filled it with boiling water!
Because of this, Jin Juhua complained many times, that the farm burns a lot of coal every day, which is a good deal!
But Zhang Xiang didn't say a word, Zhang Tiansheng greeted the ants with boiling water as usual, Zhang Xiang had the final say who called this Taoyuan!It's just that he sometimes slanders in his heart.
"If you want to plant peach trees like Xiangzi, how much capital and labor will it cost? How much will the peaches cost to pay back?"
"Uncle, are you feeling better recently?"
Zhang wanted to take the initiative to say hello to his uncle, seeing that he was only wearing a shirt.There is only a thin sweater on the outside. Compared with earlier, I wear a lot less clothes!
You must know that Uncle is a person who wears cotton-padded jackets in spring, and his yellow military coat will not leave him in October!
"Hehe, the medicine you gave me is really good. No wonder your elder brothers are very happy, yelling that maybe I'll be fine after my illness!"
Zhang Hongdong said cheerfully.In the past few days, Zhang Xiang has eaten well here, and his appetite has increased a lot. I think this is a good thing!
"En. Uncle, if you stay here for another half a month, I will give you the same monthly salary of [-] yuan, which will also give you and aunt some pocket money!"
Zhang wanted to laugh, he had thought about this a long time ago.Uncle is a bit lazy.If his health is better, he will definitely not come to Taoyuan to exercise again, and his health will deteriorate again in a few years.
After thinking about it, it's better to give him some thoughts, firstly, to make him more motivated to do things, and secondly, several cousins will help me, arrange the uncle's affairs, and they will be more wholehearted in doing things!
"How can this be, eat yours and drink yours. It also gives medical treatment, and there is a saying that you get paid for doing something. Will I be drowned by other people's saliva?"
Zhang Hongdong waved his hands again and again, indicating that he couldn't do it, but Zhang Xiang could still see a trace of excitement and longing from his uncle's face!
"What can't be done, you are my uncle, who would gossip?"
Zhang Xiang comforted him with a smile, all he said was that Zhang Hongdong blushed, thinking secretly.Fifteen thousand a month, eighteen thousand a year, the old couple had a good life!
I was talking to my uncle, but I saw Zhang Jinshan running over from afar, and when I saw him from afar, I shouted:
"Xiangzi, I'm looking for you on something!"
Zhang Jinshan came in a hurry. There was something wrong with the walnut trees in the mountain field in the past two days. He couldn't do anything for a while, so he asked Zhang Xianglai for advice.
It turned out that many of the roots of those walnut trees were eaten by insects, causing the bark to rot to the center of the trunk, and also attracted a lot of black ants.
Plus some unknown red bugs and white bugs, crawling everywhere, gnawing those tree roots badly, Zhang Jinshan felt helpless, wondering if he should find some medicine to fight it!
But I also heard from Tian Sheng that Zhang wanted to disapprove of using pesticides to destroy fruit trees, and what he said was a green product, which made him lose his mind for a while, so he had to ask what to do?
Zhang Xiang pondered for a while, the walnut grove was not small, if Zhang Jinshan was to use Tian Sheng's method, he would have to die in a hurry, and the area of the walnut grove was so huge that it couldn't be compared with the peach grove!
"Well, second brother, I'll go see the walnut grove with you later, and then decide what to do. If it doesn't work, I'll buy medicine!"
Zhang wanted to tell his plan, and Zhang Jinshan felt relieved when he heard it, as long as he was not allowed to pour boiling water into the ant hole, it would be fine!
"Second brother, we will have breakfast together at the farm and go to the mountain farm. I haven't visited for a long time!"
Zhang wanted to see that Zhang Jinshan came early, so he probably hadn't eaten yet, so they all called for dinner together!
At the table, Li Houtu heard that Zhang Xiang was going to the mountain field to see the walnut trees after dinner, and he was very interested in going with him. Zhang Xiang was also happy with the crowd, so he didn't say anything!
The mountain field passes from the east slope of Xujia Lake. At the beginning, there are some small shrubs, and there is only room for two people to walk on the path. Weeds are on both sides of the road. It is not that there are grasshoppers and some small insects flying by!
After walking for more than ten minutes, the number of trees gradually increased. Occasionally, one or two calls of strange birds could be heard in the woods, as well as the "squeak" sound of some animals hiding!
"Xiangzi, why do I always feel that this mountain is not safe?"
Li Houtu was a little nervous. If you let him go into the water, he would not be afraid of anything, but if you let him go up the mountain, he would always be suspicious!
"You, the water is unfathomable. There is nothing to worry about in this mountain!" (To be continued...)

Seeing the group of children leave, Li Houtu couldn't help complaining.
