Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 122
"Uncle, uncle, look what this is. I caught it from behind just now." In less than a day, Zhang Qian's little nephew couldn't do enough to be affectionate with Liu Junhao. Basically, wherever Liu Junhao went, he followed Where are you going, you little follower.

Mama Zhang helplessly told her grandson to call him Uncle Liu several times.But this little guy didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he didn't change his mouth no matter what.

Children are very playful. After coming to Liujiagou, the little guy seems to have entered another world, curious about everything.And Liu Junhao is also like a hero in his eyes, chasing pheasants, catching rabbits, catching hedgehogs and so on are almost omnipotent.

"This thing is called a big green head. It's the grasshopper mentioned in the book. You broke its legs. I'll catch you two better ones and put them in the cage to play with. It sounds really nice. "Liu Junhao glanced at the half-dead bug in his hand and said.

The big green head has a good reputation as a musician. Its cry is sweet and clear, and the hotter the weather, the happier it is.It is a toy that rural children like very much. In summer and autumn, those half-grown children will go to the field to catch a few and keep them at home.

Lying on the mat at night and listening to the melodious calls of the grasshoppers, I naturally feel an indescribable sense of comfort and contentment.

The food for this thing is also very miscellaneous. You can feed it with carrot skin, beans, vegetable leaves, peppers, etc.Especially chili is the best, and the big green head screams very loudly after eating it.

"Okay, then let's go quickly, there are many behind, I just can't catch them." Hearing what he said, Xiao Zeyu hurriedly dragged Liu Junhao to the backyard to catch grasshoppers.

In fact, the big green head is not easy to grasp. This thing has a quick response and strong jumping ability. If there is a slight disturbance, it will immediately silence and hide.

It will not speak again until it senses that there is no danger from the outside world.Therefore, catching grasshoppers requires a lot of patience. To achieve "the enemy is quiet, I will be quiet, and the enemy will move and I will move."Once the position is determined again, it is necessary to make a sudden pounce.

Even so, seven or eight out of ten times it was empty, and this thing would often escape through the gaps in the fingers.

Big green head likes to eat sweet potato seedlings very much, so there are many in the yard.As soon as Xiao Zeyu entered the backyard, he heard the cry of "grasshopper" coming from the corner of the wall, and quickly pointed with his finger.

Liu Junhao naturally also heard the movement, so he stopped where he was, and walked over on tiptoe by himself.

Following the sound, he quickly found the grasshopper singing happily on the sweet potato leaves, but before he could make a move, the guy had already hid in the leaves.

It took Liu Junhao more than ten minutes to catch two big green heads, and then he went to the firewood pile at the door and folded some sorghum poles, tore off the strips on them and weaved two small and exquisite grasshopper cages.

The child's interest changed quickly. This guy just played for a while, but he became interested in those little fish and shrimp in the lotus root pond.He was itchy to watch, and finally took off his shoes, and was about to jump into the water with his trousers on, but his mother held him tightly.

No one can stop Xiao Zeyu's temper, and he insists on catching small fish to play with, so Liu Junhao had to make him a water cage.

The water pull cage is a simple and easy-to-use fishing tool. The production process is very simple. It is to cover a layer of window screen on the bamboo basket, canned bottle or steamed bun sieve, and then tear a round hole as thick as a hemp rod in the middle.

The bamboo basket is tied to the bamboo pole with a rope, and some bait such as steamed bread and bran is put in it and thrown into the water to wait for the fish to take the bait.

Zhang Qian had seen this fishing method several times since she came to Liujiagou, so she didn't think it was unusual.But Zhang's mother and daughter-in-law were very curious and squatted by the water to watch.

After five or six minutes, Liu Junhao lifted the bamboo pole ashore, opened the gauze on the bamboo basket, and there were already twenty or thirty lively shreds of meat and wheat inside.

Now several people are interested and try this fishing pleasure one by one.

The whole morning passed like this, although Zhang Qian and Liu Junhao tried their best to persuade them to stay, but after lunch, Zhang's mother still led her daughter-in-law and grandson to leave.

Before she left, she didn't explain too much to the two of them, she just said that you should leave it at that.

Although it was not an affirmative answer, it also made Liu Junhao very happy, at least let him see the dawn of victory.

When he got home, he completely relaxed. In order to cope with the scrutiny of his mother-in-law, his spirit has been tense all day, and he dare not relax at all.

Lying in the yard, Liu Junhao secretly opened the stone lock to observe.Unexpectedly, he immediately discovered the abnormal situation, and those melon seedlings seemed to have dropped a lot of yellow flowers.Except for the first few watermelons I saw, no small watermelons grew again.

What's going on here?Liu Junhao was extremely surprised.When he cast his eyes on the little hive, he found the reason.The dozen or so bees he had caught had now fallen on the beach, dead dead.

It seems that keeping bees in the stone lock is just my own wishful thinking, and the bees may not be able to adapt to the environment inside.After thinking about it, he couldn't find the reason, and finally he had to search on the Internet.

After checking the relevant information, he realized where he was wrong. It turned out that a bee colony cannot survive only by worker bees.

Since it wasn't because of Shisuo, things would be much easier, so let's introduce some scumblers, they will definitely be able to adapt.

Liu Junhao did what he said, squatting and waiting by the reed stack at the risk of being stung. When he saw a bee getting into the reed pole, he hurriedly broke the reed and threw it into the stone lock.

* * *
The Tian family has a leisurely month, and people are busy in May.At night, the south wind blows, and the wheat is covered with yellow.

The wheat is ripe as soon as it is said. It is rare that the weather has been good these days, so every family is busy harvesting wheat in the field.

Liu Junhao is still free as usual.After eating, he was about to move a chair and sit under the poplar tree to read a book, but Zhang Qian called him to cut wheat for Aunt Six's house.

His girlfriend has orders, so he naturally has to obey them, not to mention that the sixth aunt's family is really difficult.Don't look at her family has only planted six acres of wheat, but it is enough to be busy for half a month.

Although Zhang Qian was waving a straw hat in her hand before setting off, expressing her determination, but when it came time to cut the wheat, she complained again and again. After cutting four wheat sheaves, she kept beating her back, saying that she was bent. Sour, even worse than little Aqin.

When they first assigned tasks, the three adults each cut five ridges of wheat.In less than 5 minutes, Zhang Qian was left far behind alone, and she told Liu Junhao to cut slowly.

There is no reason to do less work for others, so Liu Junhao had to come back and cut a section for her again.Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian's incident just ended and another incident happened, and she was cut off.

Liu Junhao frowned when he saw her in pain, thinking it was a big wound, he threw down the sickle in a hurry, found a few thorn buds and kneaded them into soft balls to bandage Zhang Qian's wound.Who knew that after holding her hand, she realized that the skin was only cut a little, and now even the blood is not bleeding.

"Will it leave scars?" Zhang Qian asked worriedly.

"It's okay, as long as you don't touch the water, the wound will heal in half a day." Liu Junhao comforted with a smile.

Come on, now that she is a wounded person, she naturally doesn't have to cut the wheat anymore.

Liu Junhao was afraid that she would be too hot, so he specially made a small pile of wheat sheaves for her to sit in the shade and enjoy the cool, while he continued to wield the sickle.

In fact, harvesting wheat is also a technical job. First, you need to be fast, and second, you need to hold the sickle correctly.

Liu Junhao has a big frame, thick and long arms, and he can hug several ridges at once.Therefore, when he waved his sickle, his movements were naturally fast.

He did the work of two people by himself, and chased all the way, and soon caught up with Aqin, and then caught up with the sixth aunt.

"Brother Xiaohao is an automatic harvester!" Ah Qin exclaimed after seeing it.Even the sixth aunt kept persuading him to slow down and not to get tired.

Harvesting wheat is a rush, and Liu Junhao is rushing forward like a tireless old scalper.

At first, Ah Qin worked up her energy, but after a while, she began to envy her teacher sitting in the shade and drinking tea leisurely, and soon slowed down.

Liu Junhao didn't let her cut the wheat at all, and only asked her to make the waist of the wheat for himself.

Hearing what he said, Ah Qin immediately dropped the sickle and ran over.This job is very easy, a large bundle of wheat only needs one wheat loin.

At first she was able to keep up with the rhythm, but as Liu Junhao cut more and more smoothly, she couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and finally had to call Zhang Qian to help.

Saved the time of making wheat waist, Liu Junhao's speed is even faster, one cut is a big bag that just fits a wheat waist.

The weather in early June was hot and dry, and his shirt was soon wet, and the sweat flowed down his cheeks, rushing out of streams.

Zhang Qian distressedly called Liu Junhao several times to stop, but it was useless. Finally, she felt embarrassed, put on her gloves, and started cutting the wheat.

In this way, everyone chased after each other, and in a whole morning, eight-tenths of the wheat was harvested.

Then there is loading and stacking. Liu Junhao has lived in the countryside since he was a child, so he is no stranger to these farm tasks.He and Aunt Six were busy in the wheat field, while Zhang Qian took Ah Qin home to cook.

Lunch is actually very simple, two salted eggs per person, the dishes are cold and mellow.After working hard for a long time, Liu Junhao was already hungry, and he didn't care about the quality of the food, so he started to eat with steamed buns.

Although he was still full of energy in the afternoon, the movements of Zhang Qian and the three of them completely slowed down.

It's no wonder, in the morning, you are buoyant, but after a noon rest, your muscles will become sore all over, and the sun after the morning is so hot that you will feel dizzy and unable to lift your strength at all.

Even so, they still cut more than seven cents of wheat in the afternoon.

"I'm exhausted!" Zhang Qian immediately slumped on the chair when she arrived in Liu Junhao's yard, not wanting to move.

"Now that you know how to do farm work, it's not that easy, right?" Liu Junhao is still in good spirits at the moment.
