Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 175

One autumn rain and one cool, after two days of continuous autumn rain, the summer heat disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Cicada had already stopped the annoying chirping.As the saying goes, a grasshopper after autumn can only jump for a few days.The same is true for cicadas. When they get old, the actions of these guys become slower and slower.

Quite a few fell in the grass as soon as the autumn wind blew, unable to fly anymore.

The hens in the yard are lucky, and these days they wander around the woods all day.When he found out that he was a cicada, he immediately pounced on it and pecked at it fiercely.They are full every time they come back, and they don't need to be fed by Liu Junhao at all.

It's been a long time since he ate chicken. Looking at the group of little roosters, he was thinking about when to kill them again.

Chunshang had a total of two broods of chicks, and the hatching rate was almost [-]%.Moreover, these chicks roam the wild outside every day, eating grasshoppers and catching caterpillars. They have super vitality and have not lost a single one since they hatched.

Not counting the dozen or so chickens given to Professor Zhao and his wife, he now has more than 50 chickens in his yard, of which there are about [-] roosters. It's heavy enough to be eaten.

Qiuli just hugged a litter, and now it's almost time to hatch.This was originally an unplanned thing. If he hadn't wanted to hatch the wild eggs, he would have said nothing to let the old hen continue to hatch.

If we continue to hatch like this, our yard will really become a small chicken farm.

It is said that these days, his family sells a lot of eggs.Although the eggs are not very conspicuous, they were sold for [-] yuan in one summer.

After eating in the morning, Liu Junhao put the saddle on Chitu, and then rode towards the river beach.

The reeds on the river beach have also lost their former lush greenness, and now they have become withered and yellow.Looking from a distance, it adds a bit of mystery.

Find a piece of water, grass and manure to scatter the red rabbit, and he squats on the grass to read a book by himself.

After reading it for a while, I was bored, so I simply closed the book and looked at the clouds in the sky under my head.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I lay down, I heard my ears buzzing.

Are there bees this season?Liu Junhao hurriedly sat up straight, but found that it was his own kind of fat bumble bee.I didn't expect them to collect honey from a long distance, and they all ran to the river beach.

Now is the season when the wild radish flowers are in full bloom. The small beige flowers smell fragrant and are very attractive to the bees.

The stems and leaves of wild radish suddenly look similar to carrots, but its rhizomes are much smaller and taste less sweet than carrots.However, the taste is quite unique and delicious. Liu Junhao liked to drag and eat it when he was a child.

When Chitu was full, he rode Chitu back again.

As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I heard a "click", and when I looked up, another date fell down.

Ever since the jujubes in the yard matured day by day, those greedy birds fell in love with this place and flew to the jujube trees all day long.These guys' jujube pecking skills are really not very good, every time they just pecked two dates before falling to the ground.

In just half a day, the yard was covered with a thick layer, more than what I had beaten with bamboo poles.

These guys, don't show any color, they don't know the second brother Wang's last name.

Liu Junhao retrieved Doudou, and pointed to the tree with his finger.The guy jumped up and ran to the branch of the jujube tree.

But before it got close, the birds flapped their wings and flew to another tree.

Doudou is busy now, running back and forth on several jujube trees.The birds seemed to have learned to be smart, and simply fought guerrilla warfare, and they moved away as soon as the cat climbed the jujube tree.

After trying this a few times, Doudou was completely irritated, and she even arched her body and jumped from the adjacent branch to another jujube tree.Caught off guard, Gray Maza was almost caught by it, and was too frightened to fly into the courtyard for a long time.

Good guy, he has learned how to fly across the sky.Liu Junhao looked surprised from below. The cat he picked up is really a treasure, and new things happen every day.

And what made him dumbfounded was that this guy was still a duplicitous guy, pretending to be like a grandson in front of Xiao Pi, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

But as soon as he turned his head, it went to bully other people's children - Doudou.

Relying on its agility, Huamao barked the little yellow dog every time he was irritated.Fortunately, that guy didn't know to complain to Xiaopi, otherwise it would be enough for him to drink a pot.

Xiaopi now has one more thing in his daily life, that is, as soon as his master goes out on the street, he will immediately follow him.

At first Liu Junhao thought it was reluctant to give up on himself, but who knew that this guy ran towards Zhao Guangming's house when he reached the street.Standing outside the courtyard wall and barking a few times, the black panther immediately came out to greet him.

It turned out to be self-indulgent, and they came for a tryst.

Liu Junhao stayed in the courtyard for a while, and was just about to go back to the room to play on the computer when he heard Liu's third wife standing at the door shouting.

"What's the matter," he hurried out to greet him.

"Didn't you ask me to leave some good cotton for you a few days ago? Now my house has dried a lot. Take a sack and go over there to see how much you want. I will tell you later."

"Okay, I'll be there right away." After Liu's third daughter-in-law said this, Liu Junhao remembered what he explained last time.

According to the rules of the countryside, a few quilt covers must be purchased for marriage.Originally, he thought of ordering directly online, which would save a lot of effort.

I did a lot of research on the Internet and found that "Yangyangyang, X Yuanxiang" was very good and the price was cheap, so I prepared to order it.Who knew that Zhang Qian knew it, and immediately stopped it, saying that the quilt cover was made of silk, and it was not warm at all.

As for the wool quilt that Liu Junhao was looking for, she felt that it was expensive and not applicable.

In the end, after the two discussed it, they decided to use cotton to make their own plans.Cotton duvet covers are economical and comfortable to cover.He doesn't grow cotton himself, so he can only beg the villagers to save some for him.

There used to be a lot of cotton in Liujiagou, but gradually people in the village didn't want to grow it anymore.The main reason is that this thing is too troublesome. From the beginning of seedling emergence, a person needs to carry a cartridge to spray the medicine. When the full flowering period happens to be the hottest weather, it needs to be sprayed once a day, otherwise the small cotton bolls that have just emerged will be covered with cotton bolls. The worm was knocked out.

When the cotton bolls are picked back, they must be broken open one by one immediately, otherwise the quality of the cotton will decline after two days of turning yellow and black.After the cotton is broken out, it has to be dried again. In case of sudden rain one day, the cotton bolls may rot.

In a word, growing cotton takes a lot of work.It seems that the price is not low, but the cost is calculated to be similar to the income of other commercial crops.

Therefore, the number of cotton growers has become less and less in recent years, and the last family only planted a few fractions of land at most, and reserved it for quilts in autumn.

Liu Junhao was a little uncertain about how many quilts to cover, and finally decided to call Zhang Qian after thinking about it.

When they arrived at Liu Laosan's house, both of them were stunned by the cotton drying in the yard.On the mat on the ground and on the roof, everything is white.

"Third aunt, your family will make a fortune in cotton this year." Liu Junhao greeted with a smile.

"How to make a fortune, if my family has your technology of raising eels, it will be called a fortune. This is dried and picked, you can see how much you want." The third lady Liu also smiled from ear to ear.

The weather this year is good, and it hasn't rained much for a while. Her family has a good harvest of cotton, and last time they sold more than 400 catties.

"Hehe," Liu Junhao smiled without saying anything, stepped forward and pinched a cotton, put it in his mouth and bit it, the cotton seed popped.This is the sound of completely drying, and those cottonseeds with too much moisture can't bite at all.

Although Zhang Qian didn't understand, she learned how to pinch one and put it in her mouth.

The two finally decided to make two quilt covers. Anyway, his family still has extra quilt covers, and even if relatives come later, there will be something to cover them.

Get a sack of cotton, then pay and leave.Zhang Qian wanted to help carry it, but was stopped by Liu Junhao.

Even though this sack has a lot of cotton, it is not heavy at all. For him, this is a piece of cake.

Before I got home, I saw a car parked at the door from a distance.

"Xiaohao, what are you doing?" Before he got to the front, he saw Zhao Weidong coming out of Professor Zhao's yard.

"Brother Zhao is here, the old man has been thinking about you these days. I just went to the village to get some cotton, and I plan to make a few quilt covers in two days. Come in and drink tea..." He said and hurriedly asked Zhang Qian to take it out of his pocket He took out the key and opened the door.

"Congratulations, congratulations." Zhao Weidong naturally knew that the two of them were going to get married, and said with a smile, "Don't forget to invite me to a wedding wine then."

"I can't forget it, I can't forget it." After Liu Junhao put the cotton on the ground, he had the opportunity to chat with him.

Zhao Weidong and his wife came to pick Haoyu and Tongtong back to school this time. It is said that these two little guys didn't even want to go home after playing.Every time they called and said they wanted to pick them up, both of them yelled no, saying they wanted to be with their grandparents.

Zhao Weidong and his wife also had this intention, so they didn't force it.Now that elementary school is about to start, it is natural to take them back.

Liu Junhao also went to accompany him during lunch, and Zhao Weidong had to drive in the afternoon, so they didn't drink.

Although the two little guys were reluctant to give up, they still obediently drove away in the afternoon.Of course, before leaving, they took back all the miscellaneous things they had collected these days, saying that they wanted to open the eyes of those friends in the city.

To say that Xiaohaoyu and Tongtong really spent their summer vacation in vain, they searched everywhere when they got out of their shells a few days ago, and they have sold more than 500 yuan so far.

Before leaving, Professor Zhao got a headache every day from their anger.Now that he was about to leave suddenly, he was a little bit reluctant, so he kept telling Zhao Weidong and his wife, "I'll send them over when the National Day is off. At that time, there will be big dramas in the village, and it will be very lively."

Speaking of the absence of the two of them, Liu Junhao also felt that his yard was much deserted.

If you have nothing to do, let's play chess with Professor Zhao.Ever since, the two began to think about chess again.
