leisurely little farmer

Chapter 58

Early the next morning, Zhao Long got up early. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Zhao Long came to the kitchen. His mother was cooking. Zhao Long went in and said, "Mom! Someday, when I come in, can you Aren’t you cooking? My mother thinks it’s troublesome to cook in a ground pot? Do you want me to buy a liquefied petroleum gas one day, so that it’s convenient and fast.”

"You are at home now. Of course I have to cook every day. My mother dare not use liquefied petroleum gas. The children on TV yesterday reported that there was an explosion of liquefied petroleum gas. The whole building was blown up. That thing has this place. Is it delicious to cook in a pot? Is the fire so small?" Zhao Long's mother asked.

Zhao Long thought for a while and felt that what his mother said was very reasonable, so he said: "My mother is very reasonable. It seems that I have learned a lot from watching TV. Many people in the village don't know what liquefied gas is. To be honest, liquefied gas The food cooked with gas is indeed not as good as the ground pot, and now the weather is getting colder and colder, next summer when it is hot, we will use liquefied gas, and in winter we will use the ground pot to cook, and it can also be roasted."

"By the way, Mom? Are there any peanuts at home?" Zhao Long asked.

"If you don't tell me, I forgot about it. Also, there are still two sacks of peanuts from last year in the house where I used to live. They are very dry. You don't like raw peanuts. You will go and bring them back later. Let's go home, so as not to be eaten by mice." Zhao Long's mother said.

As soon as Zhao Long heard that there were still peanuts, he said happily: "Mom, let's fry some peanuts today. I have long wanted to eat fried peanuts. Now there is sand. Hehe, we can eat fried peanuts."

Zhao Long's mother was confused when she heard that, and quickly asked: "If you want fried peanuts, just tell mom. Mom will fry them for you at any time. What kind of sand do you need for fried peanuts?"

As soon as Zhao Long heard it, he knew that his mother was a layman, so he hurriedly said proudly: "Mom, did you get all the fried peanuts together? Didn't you?"

"The peanuts burn when the fire is too big. There is no way to do this. Mom should pay more attention to the fire this time," Zhao Long's mother said.

"Mom, I'll teach you a way to fry peanuts that are fragrant and not burnt. How about this? I'll wake Wang Long up and ask him to help me bring the peanut milk back. I'll teach you a trick." Zhao Long said Then he walked out of the kitchen and called Wang Lung.

After Wang Long got up, he muttered in his mouth: "You are too early, how can you have such a bad habit of eating peanuts when you wake up so early, okay, I know."

"What do you know, get up quickly, I have something to do today, hurry up and I'll take you to my house, and later we'll go to the pond and use that 20-pound bag of rice to bag sand and come back. Speed! Speed!" Zhao Long went out after speaking.

Seeing that Zhao Long was gone, Wang Long got up and said, "What does eating peanuts have to do with sand, and you need to pack sand?"

After getting up and washing, Zhao Long took Wang Long to his former house. After opening the door and entering, Wang Long said, "This is your former house. Indeed, it is a bit small. Where are the peanuts?"

Afterwards, Zhao Long went into the species inside. Sure enough, two bags of peanuts were put together alone. Zhao Long immediately took out one bag and walked to the door. Seeing this, Wang Long also stepped forward to move out the other bag.

"Oh, the mouse really gnawed through the bag. If it comes to move it in a while, I guess it can be used directly for fire. I can't find a single peanut."

Afterwards, Wang Long also moved out another bag of peanuts, looked around and found no places where mice had bitten through, and the two quickly moved the peanuts back home.

After returning home, the village chief came. Zhao Long greeted the village chief quickly: "Morning village chief! You see, the peanuts in the house where we lived before were bitten by mice. We just brought them back today. Later, add sand and fry some peanuts to eat."

"How do you fry peanuts with sand? It's really strange. When the time comes, I'll try it too. By the way, I'm here today. It was you who said last night to find some people to help unload the sand, right? I found you some quick-witted ones." , why don't we go and have a look now? I have asked them to go there first with their own shovels, is it enough to find ten people?" said the village chief.

When Zhao Long heard this, he quickly took out his cigarette and said, "Thank you very much, the village chief. There are enough people, enough, enough."

Then Zhao Long said to Wang Long: "Let's go to the pond for that rice bag, hurry up."

After Zhao Long said that, he went out with the village head first, leaving behind Wang Long who was still carrying peanuts with a dazed face.

The village chief went on to say: "Actually, you don't know. Now in the village, as long as there are some craftsmen or hardworking people, when they meet me, they will ask me, do you have any work for everyone?" , or as long as you have a job, just let me call them, no one in the village knows that you help everyone the most and make everyone earn a lot of money, and they are very happy to work with you."

When Zhao Long heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "Actually, I haven't helped you anything. I'm still working hard. I should help me repair ponds and build houses. I should give money. It's not easy."

At this time, Wang Long caught up with Zhao Long and the village chief with a bag of rice. He walked up and said, "When I'm hungry later, you have to let me eat more. Is it easy for me? Now it's a Your follower is here, ha ha."

Soon the three of them came to the pond. Zhao Long saw that everyone was already sitting on the edge of the sand, so he hurried over to let everyone smoke, and said, "Thank you for your help. At that time, the sand was pulled back. At that time, it didn't disperse, so I still need to trouble everyone. This big site can be spread out as much as possible. Then I will do it myself. Thank you very much. Look at this site, how long does it take to spread out the sand? ?”

Everyone looked at the size of the venue, then at the sand, and said, "Three days, it can be spread out in three days. After all, the area is very large and it is not easy. It will probably take three days."

Zhao Long thought for a while and said: "How about this, no one will pay 200 yuan for hard work for three days, is that okay?"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, and quickly said: "OK, the price Zhao Long gave is high. We went to other villages to carry bricks for others a few days ago and it was only 50 yuan. It's easy to shovel sand. You just need to work hard." There are so many, I will definitely spread them out for you, so don't worry."

Then Zhao Long said: "If you finish the work ahead of time, but you don't make it three days, I will still give you 200 yuan. Thank you for your hard work."

When everyone heard this, they became even happier, and started to get busy without saying a word.

The village chief said at the side: "Zhao Long, if I hadn't been old, I would have done it for you. The young man has been to a big city, but it is different. Okay, you are busy, I am going back, I still have things to do, By the way, remember, leave me some peanuts, I'm leaving!"

After seeing off the village chief, Wang Long sat aside and took out a cigarette to smoke with Zhao Longzi. I’m used to living here, and I don’t even want to go back to work, it’s so good here, if I can’t get along in the city, I’ll help you just like you, and just be a farmer and farm the land.”

Zhao Long was amused when he heard this, and said: "You farm? Come on, you don't even know what is a crop and what is a grass. Although you are lively in the city, think about it now, maybe I am really not suitable for the city. , so how about it, tomorrow I will accompany you to the town to buy some food, it can be regarded as a brother's kindness, I will buy you a good cigarette to take back to smoke, brother, I am here, and you are welcome to come back for a long-term stay at any time."

"I like to hear this. Before, I really didn't think the mountainous countryside was good. Now, I really don't think so. After returning to the city, I can't hear the birds. I guess I have to get used to it for a few days. No wonder , There are a lot of rich people who want to experience life or go to the countryside for vacation, I understand." Wang Long said with deep emotion.

Seeing Wang Long's so much emotion, Zhao Long said quickly, "Hurry up and decorate with sand, go home and fry peanuts to eat, see how to fry peanuts, hurry up, I will finish smoking this cigarette."

Not long after, the two carried a bag of sand and walked towards the house, chatting and laughing all the way!
