The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

After lunch, Zhou Quan was at first full of anger and then full of food, lying on his back on the heated kang, with his limbs spread and his eyes narrowed, like a cat that was full and was about to catch up on a nap.

And the real cat, Xiaomei, is currently on the blue brick floor of the east chamber, happily playing with the crab claw that Zhou Quan threw to it just now.

Chef Bao packed away the leftovers, dishes and chopsticks, and after returning to the room, he handed the Walkman-style radio placed next to the pillow to Zhou Quan, and he himself massaged Zhou Quan's belly skillfully and gently. .

Ah Quan's gastrointestinal digestion ability is average, and he is very prone to food accumulation symptoms after eating a little too much. Chef Bao, who grew up with him and has been in charge of feeding him, knows this very well.

Therefore, once Zhouquan appears to eat too much, Chef Bao will come over and rub his belly to help him digest the food.

This is a craft he has learned since he was a child, for the person who is now lying on his kang.

Enjoying Chef Bao's service, Zhou Quan hummed a few times comfortably, then naturally took the radio handed over by the other party, and turned on the switch to start tuning.

This radio is really very old. It was bought by the two of them when they were just in junior high school.

At the beginning, they were exactly the same two. In addition to the function of the radio, they also had a tape slot, which could play the old-fashioned rotary tape. It was a bit of a learning machine. The two bought it for learning English.

Zhouquan's one had broken down when he was in high school, and Zhouquan didn't know where the broken machine ended up.

On the other hand, Chef Bao, this learning machine has been well kept. When cleaning up the house, I found it, pressed the battery and pulled out the antenna to try it out. All the functions are actually intact.

It was a pleasant surprise for both of them, because it was a memory full of their teenage years.

After that, Zhou Quan wiped the antique phone clean and put it outside to use as a radio. When he didn't want to play with his phone, he would turn on the antique phone and listen to programs on the radio.

This is how he is at this time, most of the blood that has just eaten is concentrated in the stomach and intestines to help digestion, Brother Baoyan rubs comfortably, the heating pad under his body is warm, and the voice of the host on the radio is simply a lullaby, Zhouquan's eyelids began to get heavier and heavier as he listened.

Seeing this, Chef Bao stopped what he was doing, crawled down to the ground softly, found a thick blanket from the cabinet, and covered Zhou Quan who was drowsy.

While half asleep and half awake, Zhou Quan could feel that someone covered himself with a quilt, and then closed the door and left the room.

In a daze, he could still feel a furry thing approaching his pillow, with its head against his face, meowing a few times, and then patting the thick blanket he was covering with its paws.

Zhouquan knew who the meowing guy was without thinking too much. Among the three cats in the family, only Xiaomei liked to be close to people, and she especially liked to come over and crawl under his bed when he was taking a nap.

Zhouquan, who was still immersed in sleepiness, reacted much slower than usual. Lihuameimao was unwilling, and changed his paws from patting on the quilt to scratching. Zhouquan heard the sound of its paws scratching the fabric, Fearing that it would scratch the quilt, it quickly turned over and lifted a corner of the blanket.

Xiaomei lowered her head and shook her beard to look inside from the corner of the quilt, but found nothing unusual, then shrunk her body into the quilt in satisfaction.

Lying on his side, Zhou Quan felt that there was a small heater in his arms, and the furry was still warm. Even in his sleep, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up because of the warmth.

This nap lasted until almost two o'clock, and Zhou Quan was woken up by the sound of his own phone.

Waking up, Zhouquan rubbed Xiaomei in his arms, breathed out and took the mobile phone on the window sill, and it turned out that the caller ID was that boy Bao Erlong.

Xiaomei, who was also woken up, got out from under the blanket, stretched her waist, shook her body, turned her head and began to add sleep to her messy fur.

Zhou Quan answered the phone while stroking the smooth fur of the cihuamao, only to hear Bao Erlong inside say: "Brother Ah Quan, we have received someone, and we had a dinner outside at noon. Now brother Wen Li and I I am driving back, and I have already reached the town, you have to be ready to help us accompany us later."

Cozy is a dialect in the Northeast, and it means a guest. Accompanying Cozy is someone specially invited by the host, or someone who has a good relationship or can speak well, and helps the host to entertain the guests well.

Being called by other people's family to accompany you in the village is a kind of affirmation, which affirms the status of this person in the village or in the family.

Xiao Mei, who was still licking her fur just now, left Zhou Quan and jumped off the kang, and walked out the door with her tail up.

Zhou Quan, who had no cat to lick, retracted his hand regretfully to hold the phone and said, "No problem, I must help Brother Wen Li take good care of the guests."

Putting down the phone, Zhouquan got up, put on his coat, and went to Uncle Shan's house one step ahead of the others.

Baoshan is Brother Baoyan's little cousin. The two families have the same ancestor for four generations, and the blood relationship is quite close.

Therefore, Baoshan was one of the first batch of people in the village who learned how to cook from Mr. Bao. After he became an apprentice, he even worked as a chef in the original restaurant of Bao's family. After the restaurant closed, he went out to find his own way out.

Later, the village called on everyone to return to the village to run farmhouses, and he was one of the first to respond. For this reason, he specially remodeled and expanded his old house and built an inn with the most guest rooms among the farmhouses in the village.

Now the village has already set up its own website, which has detailed descriptions of the catering, accommodation, etc. of each farmhouse. If guests are interested in any one, they can directly place an order on it. It is said that the girl Chen Wenli went to pick up was her family who was chosen after reading the online introduction.

When Zhou Quan came over, Uncle Shan was busy in the kitchen, and Aunt Shan immediately knew what was going on when he came to the door.

With the cornmeal in her hand, Aunt Shan said briskly, "Ah Quan is here? Wen Li must have asked you to come over to help accompany him, right? You can rest assured Wen Li, the food is already ready, and the fish and chicken are all stewed." Come on, make sure you don’t embarrass him at night. The room and the other side are also cleaned up, and people can live in it immediately when it’s clean.”

The signature dishes of Uncle Shan’s Farmhouse are chicken stewed with mushrooms and catfish stewed with eggplant. Uncle Shan, who has been cooking for many years, has mastered these two signature dishes to the point of proficiency.

In addition, Uncle Shan is also good at Liao cuisine and stewed dishes. All kinds of ingredients can be stewed to the best taste in his hands.

Their family is also well-known among tourists because of their excellent dishes. Many people come here not to stay, but to taste Uncle Shan's specialty dishes.

Although Zhou Quan came to help Chen Wenli look at the meals and accommodation, he couldn't say clearly, so Zhou Quan shook some oranges, apples, pomegranates and so on in his hand and said: "Auntie, you have wronged us. You and Uncle Shan's handicraft village don't know who, if you don't trust others, you can't trust you? I heard that Erlong said that many little girls will come over this time, and I want to bring them some snacks."

"Auntie, please help deliver the things to their house in a while. I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look."

While talking, Zhou Quan walked out, and arrived at the entrance of the village just in time for them to come back.

Seeing the front of his pickup truck turning into the village, Zhou Quan hurriedly stood on the side of the road and waved to them.

The whistle blew a few times, the pickup truck stopped firmly at Zhou Quan's feet, Chen Wenli, who was driving with the window down, poked his head out and said, "Ah Quan, why are you waiting when it's so cold?"

"I'll take a stroll for nothing, just in time for you to come back."

While speaking, Zhouquan glanced inside the pickup truck. Although he couldn't see clearly through the glass, he could see that it was full of people.

After the very winking Zhouquan didn't say much, he very automatically came to the front of the Wuling Light behind him, opened the door and jumped in.

After getting into the car, Zhou Quan was taken aback. What a girl in the same car, but there was a boy sitting in the passenger seat next to Bao Erlong. Seeing this kid's stern look, I'm afraid the journey will be very difficult. happy.

Probably because of the large number of people, the little girls sitting in the back are not afraid of strangers at all.

After Zhou Quan sat down, the little sisters first looked at him with curious eyes for a few seconds, and then asked questions in a hurry.

"Just now I saw you talking to Brother Chen in front, are you also Brother Chen's friend?"

"Brother Erlong said besides him, Brother Chen has two other close friends, are you one of them?"

"Why didn't you go to the city with Brother Chen and the others? It's a pity. We went shopping, had dinner and watched movies together. It was so interesting."

Zhou Quan, who has never experienced such a thing since graduating from high school, is sitting on pins and needles behind him. He and these girls are five or six years apart. They all say that there is a gap between the three-year-old generation. Now Zhou Quan feels that there are two big gaps lying across in front of him.

Who can tell him how to have a pleasant chat with his little sisters?He had given up practicing this skill ten years ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been a single dog for many years with that handsome face, and was finally taken down by Fa Xiaoji.

Bao Erlong, who was driving in front, took a look in the rearview mirror, saw Zhou Quan was a little embarrassed but wanted to add to the topic in order not to stand out, he couldn't help laughing.

After glaring at the guy who gloated a few times, Zhou Quan had to find something to chat with when he turned around.

Fortunately, sitting next to him was a young lady who was about the same age as him. The relatively mature woman seemed to feel embarrassed, and she rounded up a lot of conversations for him, for which Zhou Quan was very grateful.
