Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 135 Zhang Qian's Second Wife

In the morning, before Liu Junhao got up, he heard the chirping of magpies in the yard. Obviously, today is another good weather.

It is said that after living in the poplar for four or five months, these magpies are no longer afraid of people.They often swagger and land not far from Liu Junhao to catch food, and only fly away with flapping wings when he approaches.

Opening the door, the chickens and ducks immediately crowded around.Liu Junhao stomped his feet a few times before blasting these guys away.They are so used to being fed that they make a fuss every morning.

These guys can't be used to it. There are woods and grass outside the courtyard. There are many insects that can be eaten in the fields in this season. Grasshoppers, mole crickets, caterpillars, etc. are all good food.

"Huh" the chicken and duck were blown away, the roots of his ears were completely clean, just after stretching, he found a small hole the size of a thumb under the base of the wall.

This is Cicada Cave, and it seems that the season of Cicada has arrived.

Liu Junhao became interested, looked around along the wall, and finally found a khaki-yellow cicada shell on the windowsill.Judging from the situation, the shell was shed just last night, and the dew has not dissipated yet, so it should be not far away.

He searched along the window again, and sure enough, he found the cicada that had turned black on the edge of the window sill.When the cicadas just came out of the shell, they were tender yellow. At this time, the meat is tender, and it is crispy and fragrant after being fried.Now it looks old, and it doesn't taste good even if it is fried.

Children in rural areas usually catch old cicadas and play with them for a while and then feed them to poultry. The cicadas have thin shredded pork in the middle, which old hens especially like to eat.

This is the first cicada he's seen this year that has shed its shell. It's not bad to catch it for Xiao Haoyu to play with.Most of the first cicadas unearthed every summer are males, and their calls are particularly loud.

Cicadas at this stage are particularly vigilant and will spread their wings and fly away if there is any movement.However, Liu Junhao is an expert at catching cicadas, so he is naturally experienced in dealing with it.

When I was a child, I usually used spider webs to make sticky webs to catch cicadas.The method of making the sticky net is simple. Use iron wire or bamboo strips to form a circle with the mouth of a bowl and tie it to the top of the reed pole. Then go to the woods to find spider webs to wrap around the circle.After getting seven or eight spider webs, the sticky web is made.At this time, you only need to hold the reed pole to find the cicada on the branch, and gently cover the sticky net to stick it to the spider silk.

Of course, you must grasp the strength when catching, because if you use a little more force, the spider web will be broken.

Another way is to spend money and buy a small net bag for [-] cents, which is similar to using a spider web, but it is more trouble-free.

There are plenty of net pockets in Liu Junhao's yard, so he doesn't bother looking for cobwebs everywhere.

He picked up the half-sized net bag and sneaked back under the window sill, and then buckled it suddenly, and the cicada only had time to scream before being covered in the net.

After dinner, the two little guys arrived on time, and they were really interested when they saw the buckle in the net pocket.They also caught a lot of cicadas when they were in Liujiagou last summer.

"Uncle Liu, why do you only know now? I remember that I didn't eat watermelon last year and already knew a lot?" Xiao Tongtong tilted her head and looked at it for a long time and said in doubt.

"That's right, that's right, the watermelon wasn't ripe when we caught Cicada." Xiao Zeyu also remembered.

Khan, it's rare that they remember so clearly.The big flower skin can be planted as long as the temperature is suitable in spring. This year's watermelon seeds are planted early, and the watermelon will naturally mature early.

After the explanation, the two little guys quarreled again over the issue of Cicada's ownership.Seeing that they were still planning to do something, Liu Junhao hurriedly dissuaded him, saying that he would help them catch another one.

Putting a small net bag on the reed pole, Liu Junhao led them off, and happened to meet Zhang Qian when they arrived at the door.As soon as she heard that she was going to catch Cicada, Zhang Qian also followed up enthusiastically.

It was almost nine o'clock, and the dew had not completely gone down, and the woods were wet everywhere.They walked a few steps, but they startled many birds that were catching insects in the woods.

It's only July, and cicadas are still relatively rare. After half an hour of busy work with their heads up, they finally found a cicada in the woods.

This is just enough points, one for each person.Liu Junhao's shoes were already soaked in dew, so he didn't continue wandering around, and directly pulled the net to lead them back.

"Aunt, Aunt!!" As soon as he emerged from the woods, a little boy stood at the door shouting and waving at them.

"Jianhui, why are you here?" Zhang Qian was overjoyed when she saw him, and then said flatly, "Second sister-in-law, you are here."

She was just talking about it the day before yesterday, but she didn't expect that the second sister-in-law would actually lead her little nephew to Liujiagou.Although it is very reluctant, but after all, they are family members, and they have to entertain them when they come.

This is Zhang Qian's second sister-in-law?He is so tall, maybe 1.7 meters five. Liu Junhao was shocked when he met him for the first time, and hurriedly welcomed their mother and son into the yard.

"My god, do you still keep dogs here?! We don't allow dogs to be kept in the city now. This dead dog, get lost..." Zhang Qian's second sister-in-law, Zhou Ping, had just entered the yard when the black leopard gave her a blow , quietly appeared behind her.

"The rural areas are still raised, and they usually look after the house." Liu Junhao explained with a smile.

"I know this. You are Liu Junhao. I heard that you are very good at raising rice field eels. This yard is very beautiful, and it suddenly looks like a small villa. No wonder Zhang Qian is tempted by us." Zhou Ping spoke like a big machine gun , Changed three topics in one breath.

She seemed very forthright, why was Zhang Qian's narration so vitriolic, Liu Junhao agreed with some doubts.

But in less than 3 minutes, he knew the reason.

"When we came this time, we took a car, and it was not easy to bring gifts, so we bought two catties of bananas in the county. Don't be disgusted, the gift is light and the affection is heavy. Come and taste one, this banana is delicious... "Zhou Ping said as she took out a black plastic bag from her bag.

Khan, two catties of bananas, only six out of six, not disgusting.Liu Junhao didn't care how much the gift was, but what she said always made people feel awkward, as if no one had eaten bananas.

"Mom, I eat bananas." When the little guy saw the bananas, he ran to the edge of the stone slab and broke two.

Well, there are only four left.

"Where will it be? As long as you can come, I welcome you," Liu Junhao said with a smile.

At this time, Zhang Qian came out with a big watermelon from the backyard, and Xiao Jianhui immediately threw the half-eaten banana on the slate and said, "Give me the watermelon, I want watermelon!"

Liu Junhao had just cut four pieces and was about to divide them up again. The little guy ignored the kitchen knife and quickly grabbed a piece.He was startled, and hurriedly took the kitchen knife away.

"Well, this watermelon is delicious. I've already thought about it. When I go back, I'll bring a few more so that everyone in the family can taste it." Zhou Ping praised loudly while eating the watermelon.

"I'm afraid it's not easy to hold. People in the car don't know whether to let it go or not?" Zhang Qian hesitated and said, she was very troubled by the second sister-in-law's lion and opened her mouth.He and Liu Junhao are not married yet, so she just came to ask for things like this, which is a bit of a headache no matter how you think about it.

"It's okay. Isn't there a shelf on the roof of the car? When the time comes, you can help me deliver it to the car, and I don't need to worry about the rest. Our mother has been talking about the delicious watermelon for the past two days. I'll take it back and let them pick it up at the station." Me." She was quite thoughtful when she thought about it.

It's just that when she said that, Zhang Qian couldn't open her mouth. If she continued to talk, it would appear that her daughter was not filial.

Xiao Jianhui ate two pieces of melon and wandered around the yard, yelling non-stop.Children are curious about everything, so adults don't care.

But they were chatting vigorously when they suddenly heard a loud bang beside the chicken coop, as if something had been broken.

When a few people ran over, the big water tank was already rotten on the ground, and this little guy was still holding a big stone in his hand.

A few days ago, when he was pushing and pulling the cart from the house, he was afraid that the water tank would be broken, so he moved it to the corner, but he didn't expect that the fate of being smashed would still be inevitable.

"Zhang Jianhui, are you being naughty again?" Zhang Qian's sister-in-law grabbed him and slapped him twice on the buttocks.

"It's okay, Suisui is safe, Suisui is safe." Liu Junhao hurried forward to dissuade him.Although he said so in his mouth, he was quite depressed in his heart.This water tank and the one in the backyard are just a pair. They have been placed in the yard since I can remember, but I didn't expect it to be broken today.It's just that it's a child's nonsense after all, so it's hard for him to say anything.

Unexpectedly, there was something wrong with these two slaps, the little guy squatted on the ground and cried loudly, no one could persuade him.

Zhou Ping immediately coaxed him anxiously, "Baby is long, baby is short", until she promised to buy him a scooter after returning home.

This child is simply out of habit, and he will definitely not raise it this way when he has a child. Liu Junhao glanced at Zhang Qian with a realization when he thought of this, and found that she was also looking at him.

Have a tacit understanding?The two met and smiled.

"Auntie, what is this place?" Just less than 10 minutes after Anne gave birth, this guy started pushing the kitchen door again.

"That's the kitchen, there's nothing fun about it." Zhang Qian was afraid that he would go in and break the dishes again, so she hurried forward to stop him.

"I'll take a look, I'll go in and take a look." The more he is not allowed to go in, the more interested the child is.

He probably felt that there was nothing interesting inside, so he came out slowly, and then squatted by the flower pond to dig the soil with a small stick to play.

"What smell?!" In a blink of an eye, Liu Junhao smelled a burnt smell.

When he looked back, he was startled. With a lighter in his hand, the little guy ignited a plastic sheet and threw it at Chitu.

"Come here quickly, don't let it kick you." Liu Junhao hurriedly snatched the plastic sheet from his hand, and then stamped it out with his feet.Throwing this thing on the red rabbit, it probably kicked the little guy away with one hoof in pain.

"Where did you get the lighter, hand it over to me." Zhou Ping also reprimanded with a fierce face.Naturally, the lighter was taken from the kitchen just now. I don't know how he managed to hide it from Zhang Qian's eyes.

This guy came here to cause sabotage. After these two incidents, Liu Junhao never dared to let him out of his sight.
