Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 123 Dumplings
"Zhang Qian is here too. It just so happens that I don't have to run away. Come and taste the zongzi I made." Hearing a sound from the yard, Teacher Wang hurried in with a bowl.

"Zongzi, why are you making zongzi at this time?" Liu Junhao was a little tired and confused after working for a long time.

"Tomorrow's Dragon Boat Festival" was Zhang Qian's first thought.

"Yes, it's the Dragon Boat Festival. I still remember it when I woke up in the morning. I forgot about it. I haven't cut the wormwood at home yet." Liu Junhao hurriedly picked up the sickle from the table.

"Don't be too busy, your Uncle Zhao cut a big bundle this afternoon, and I'll bring you some later, try the rice dumplings first." Teacher Wang said and put the rice dumplings on the table.

"I'll pick the big one." Liu Junhao had a very greedy mouth when he was a child, and every time Old Liu went to the street to sell thirteen incense, he would bring him something to eat.At that time, the food was simple, and there was no other food on the street, except rice dumplings and deep-fried dough sticks.

Peeling off the sticky zong leaves, he took a bite in Teacher Wang's anticipation.

"Hmm..." Liu Junhao covered his mouth all of a sudden, and almost spat out, "This...why is this salty, so fishy?"

"It's delicious, what's the matter?" Zhang Qian took a zongzi and ate it with relish.

"How can the zongzi be made salty? You need to put sugar in it." Liu Junhao suppressed his nausea and swallowed the zongzi in his mouth, but he refused to eat the half of the rice dumpling left in his hand.

In fact, Liujiagou does not have the habit of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, let alone dragon boat racing, and the villagers do not regard it as an important festival.Because the wheat is ripening around the Dragon Boat Festival, every family is busy harvesting wheat, so there is no time to make zongzi.

Of course, some customs will not change. They have to wash their face in the big river in the morning before the sun comes out. It is said that if they wash their face on this day, they will not suffer from eye diseases for a year.

Before breakfast, drink a few sips of wormwood water. If you don't drink it, it will be considered unlucky. There is a saying that goes, "If you don't drink wormwood on the fifth day of the fifth month, you will become a turtle when you die."

"There are also sweet zongzi, which are wrapped with white sugar and red dates. You can try it," Teacher Wang said, pulling out a zongzi tied with straw and handing it over.

"Sweet zongzi are still delicious." Peel off the zongzi leaves, and the white and sticky triangular zongzi jumped out.Take a bite, and the sticky, slippery, fragrant and sweet tastes rush into your mouth together.

Although Zhang Qian didn't do much farm work today, she was so tired and sore all over.After eating a few zongzi, she went home early to sleep.

Liu Junhao played computer games for a while after dinner, but he was too sleepy. Thinking that he would go to help out at Aunt Six's house tomorrow, he also went to bed early.

In the morning, I was sleeping soundly, but I heard the slapping of the gate. It was the hairy boy calling him to wash his face in the big river.

The brat didn't know how to check the time, so he woke up at five o'clock.Liu Junhao rubbed his hazy eyes, and led Xiaopi to open the door.

"What time are you calling, is your adult up yet?" He stood at the door and stretched a long way and shouted.

"It's all up, don't you look pretty, my mother called me last night." The hairy boy rolled up his sleeves to show off the flowery rope on his arm.

Flower ropes are colorful ropes twisted and twisted with various flower threads. This is a must-have item for five children in May. It is said that staying in the hands can ward off evil and avoid disasters.

I thought I got up early enough, but I didn't expect that there were already many people squatting by the river.Each of them had a sickle beside them, obviously preparing to harvest the wheat as soon as possible.

After washing his face, he went home to cook.

Today's breakfast is simple, mainly boiled eggs, duck eggs and garlic.

The eggs have been marinated for more than a month, and all of them are oily, and they taste delicious.

After eating, Liu Junhao sharpened the sickle a few times and led Xiaopi out.When I was cutting wheat yesterday, I ran into rabbits several times, but it was a pity that they all ran away. Today, I must catch two and go home to stew them.

When they arrived at Aunt Six's house, Zhang Qian and Aqin were also pushing the cart and preparing to go out.Liu Junhao hung the sickle in the carriage, let the two of them sit in the carriage, put on the ox cart and pulled it away.

When he arrived at the field, he still swung his sickle like a tireless old scalper and drove forward all the way.Zhang Qian didn't recover after resting all night. She didn't even want to lift her hand at this moment, and the sickle seemed to weigh a thousand catties.If I knew that when I was at Aunt Six's house just now, she should have wanted to find a reason to stay at home.

"Rabbit, Rabbit!!" A group of people were busily busy in the field, but they suddenly heard Er Mazi shouting.

In a panic, the rabbit even forgot to drill deep into the wheat field, but ran crazily along the road towards their plot.

Send it to Xiaopi's mouth, isn't this the old birthday star who hanged himself, and is impatient to live.Xiaopi jumped out like a sharp sword, and soon came back to show off with the rabbit in his mouth.

Like yesterday, more than [-]% of the wheat was harvested this morning.

When work was over at noon, Aqin happily returned home with more than a dozen quail eggs in her hands, saying that she would cook them later.

The quail eggs were naturally picked up in the field when the wheat was harvested just now.There are a lot of quail in the Liujiagou plot, and basically several nests can be found in each plot.

After four full days of busy work, several talents cut off the large wheat field.There is still a lot of wheat interlocking cotton, and the sixth aunt will not let them help.

With no farm work to do, Liu Junhao was free again.

This God really didn't give face, he just had some free time when it started to rain lightly.

There is no way to go out for a stroll in such weather, so I can only squat at home with Zhang Qian and play computer games.

"Look, my skin has been tanned in just a few days." Zhang Qian kept looking at the mirror all morning.

"No, it's still so white." Liu Junhao hurriedly comforted him.

Zhang Qian was occupying the computer to play Lianliankan, so he could only stand by and give pointers.Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits cut through gold. The two cooperate very tacitly, and they are number one every time.

After lunch, Zhang Qian started fighting again with great interest, but Liu Junhao's eyes hurt from watching, and he refused to sit in front of the computer again.

Having nothing to do, he secretly picked up his stone lock.

Although it was raining non-stop outside, the inside of Shisuo was still the same.Those miscellaneous flowers are blooming everywhere, and the bees are buzzing and flying back and forth among the melon seedlings.

Hmm, didn't expect the henna to bloom too.Although five or six flowers have just opened, each one is as big as a copper coin, and it looks really gratifying.

These henna plants were indeed beyond his expectation. At first, Liu Junhao thought it would be great if they grew up to one meter high.But I never thought that the longer the henna grows, the more prosperous it is. Now it is as high as an adult's shoulder, and the thickest part of the trunk is even thicker than a child's arm.

If you move it outside, it will become a strange thing in your own yard again.

But he was just thinking about it. If he really got it out, he would not be able to pass Professor Zhao's test first.The old man knows the flowers and plants in his yard very well.

Liu Junhao saw that the reed pipes that had been placed not long ago showed signs of being sealed with mud, and suddenly became interested, and secretly pulled out a pipe and took it out.

"What smells so fragrant?" Zhang Qian smelled the fragrance as soon as she opened it.

This honey seems to be different from the outside, it is more moist.

"Hey, it's sweeter than before. I'm going to make a cup of honey water for a good beauty treatment." Zhang Qian also exclaimed after tasting one.

Just as Liu Junhao had this intention, he quickly poured two cups of hot tea, and then put in a few grains of honey, and the two of them drank the honey water with gusto.

"Look, I told Su Nana about our life here, and she was so envious." Zhang Qian smiled and asked Liu Junhao to read her chat records.

The computer screen was full of Su Nana's complaints, and she kept saying that the work was difficult.

She just found this job. When she applied for the job, she said she was a computer clerk. She didn't know until she started working that she was selling things for others online.

These days, those steel pipe models are causing headaches. It's been almost a month, and Su Nana hasn't won a single business yet.

Judging from her narrative, I am afraid that this job is also because the rabbit's tail can't grow.

In fact, Su Nana was not the only one who envied Zhang Qian's life, those students also envied Zhang Qian's life every time they chatted.Now her popularity in QQ space has skyrocketed, and every time she uploads a photo, it will attract a lot of praise.Even for this reason, many strangers took the initiative to add her as a friend.

After chatting with Su Nana for a while, Zhang Qian remembered something important, and hurriedly asked, "Liu Junhao, when is your birthday?"

"The second day of the winter month, it's still early." Liu Junhao responded and continued to bury his head in the book.

"Why didn't I hear you mention it on my birthday last year?" She still asked persistently.

"Now I look at the solar calendar when I look at the calendar, who checks the lunar calendar. I completely forgot about that time last year. It took about ten days before I remembered it. I just didn't have it." Liu Junhao has always been careless about his birthday. , If you think about it, cook a delicious meal, if you don't think about it, it's just like that.

"Oh? I'll write it down this year, and I'll give you a surprise on your birthday." After Zhang Qian finished speaking, she waited for Liu Junhao to answer, who knew that he buried himself in the book again.

"Can you stop looking, I'm talking to you!"

"I'm listening. You said you were going to give me a birthday surprise." Seeing her getting angry, Liu Junhao raised his head quickly.

"I also forgot about Li Pei's birthday a few days ago, and she scolded me severely on the phone." Zhang Qian said again.

"Well, I really shouldn't forget it." Liu Junhao didn't know what she wanted to say, so he could only answer along.

"You..." Zhang Qian felt a little annoyed, grabbed a pillowcase she had just woven and beat it on the table vigorously.

"What's the matter with you, is that one here?" No matter how stupid Liu Junhao was, he could see that she was angry, but he didn't seem to have annoyed her.

"what?"

"That's the one. Women have it once a month. It is said that they have a bad temper when they come."

"Liu Junhao!!" Zhang Qian bit her teeth angrily, pointed at him for a long time before saying a word, "Forget about being stupid."

"What's the matter?"

"It's okay, I'll continue surfing the Internet." Zhang Qian knew that she would go crazy if she continued to chat.

Her birthday is coming soon, and she made so many preparations just now, in order to let Liu Junhao ask her about her birthday.But this normally shrewd person is now in a daze, and doesn't even know how to ask.
