Jincheng flower hour

Dozens of lotus leaves protrude from the surface of the water, which are uneven and have a charm of their own.Zhuang Yang took a walk in the pool in the morning. He sat down on a bluestone slab by the pool and watched two small green shrimps tease in the crystal clear water.The morning breeze was comfortable, blowing Zhuang Yang's hair and robe, caressing his upright face.

One of the two crowing roosters in the backyard has been slaughtered.The other one started crowing before dawn as usual, diligent and unafraid of knife and axe, it can be called a model among chickens.Zhuang Yang woke up early today and sat by the pool thinking.

When Quanzi found him, Zhuang Yang got up and was about to go back upstairs, when he heard Quanzi talking with Ah Yi.

"Dog, come here so early, what's the matter?"

"A Yi, is Erlang in?"

"Here, just behind the camellia tree."

Zhuang Yang walked out from behind the camellia tree. He was not surprised that the dog would look for him, but it was really early.

Yesterday, Zhuang Yang asked Quanzi if he had an official name. Quanzi said that when he was born, his father gave him a name and wrote it on a piece of silk. It was called "Hong".

Among the clusters of camellias, red and green, Quanzi was stunned when he saw Zhuang Yang in a plain robe.

"Dog, come here."

Smiling, Zhuang Yang led the dog to the pool. The lush camellias seemed to be a screen, separating them from the servants in the yard.

Quanzi has been to the farmer's yard several times, but this is the first time he has walked to the pool. He didn't know that there is a pool behind the camellia, which is quiet and beautiful.

The silk piece was pinched in the hand for a long time, with the warmth of a person, Quan Zi handed it to Zhuang Yang, and placed it in Zhuang Yang's palm.Zhuang Yang took it, opened the silk slip, and saw that the word "Hong" was written on it, and the handwriting was bold and vigorous.

"Your name is Liu Hong. "Hong" means vast and magnanimous. It is a very good name."

Zhuang Yang picked up a small branch and wrote a big "Hong" character on the ground to show the dog.

Quanzi listened quietly, looking at such a word on the ground. The word was not complicated, but Quanzi didn't know it because he couldn't read.

"Your father has placed high expectations on you, presumably he hopes that you will grow into a person with great ambitions."

This name is not like the ones chosen by ordinary people. Ordinary people will take names such as Shouah, Yannian, Wannian, Qianqiu, Fulugui, etc., but they don't know the origin of the dog's father.

Liu Hong, Quanzi called this name in his heart, he thought, so it was such a name.The father who has never met has pinned his hopes on his future.

"From now on, I'll call you Hiro."

Gouzi, who had lowered his head silently, suddenly raised his head when he heard Zhuang Yang's call, his sword eyebrows stretched, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he answered almost inaudibly: "En."

Zhuang Yang smiled, and he handed the silk piece back to the dog.

"Thank you Jiro."

"No, I should thank you for giving me an iris. Just don't climb the cliff in the future. If something happens, how will you explain to your mother?"

Zhuang Yang already knew that the irises given by Quanzi were picked from a cliff in the forest.Zhuang Lan was surprised when she saw this flower yesterday, she told Zhuang Yang about the dog's attempt to pick it.Apparently, Gouzi went out alone again and took it off at great risk.

Quanzi nodded, looking a little embarrassed.It seems that Zhuang Yang knew about climbing the cliff to pick flowers.In fact, the reason why Gouzi dared to go up to pick it was that he was sure that he could pick it safely. He and his mother depended on each other for life, and cherished their own life very much.

"Erlang, I'm going back."

"Go, Hiro."

Zhuang Yang laughed, he could see that although Gouzi didn't talk much and was not good at expressing, he treated him intimately.He is an only child, has no brothers and sisters, and is quite lonely. Let's take care of him more in the future.

"Ah."

The dog rarely smiled.

Watching Quanzi leave, Zhuang Yang thought so much that Alan and the others changed their name to Ahong.The name has been with each other for a lifetime, Liu Quanzi and Liu Hong are really different.

Gouzi went home, handed the silk film to Mother Liu, and told Mother Liu what Zhuang Yang had said, and Mother Liu was very moved.Liu's father left in a hurry back then, and he didn't tell her the meaning of the name he chose. He didn't want it to have such a grand meaning.Liu's mother put away the silk piece again, but Liu's father didn't leave anything for the mother and son, just such a small item.

"Erlang is really a good man, boy, when you grow up, you have to repay him well."

Liu's mother weaves day and night, and her care for the dog is nothing more than making two meals a day for him, nothing more.It was the fact that Quanzi's foot was injured, which was discovered by Zhuang Erlang first, and he gave Quanzi medicine powder.Mother Liu realized that he was injured when she saw Gouzi spraying powder on his injured foot suddenly.

Quanzi nodded. When he grows up, he must repay Zhuang Yang well.

After Mother Liu talked about it, she buried herself in spinning again, and her cloth was about to be finished.It takes two months for others to weave to finish the finished product, but she can finish it in one and a half months, not because of her quick hands and feet, but because she is more diligent than others, working from dawn to dusk.

"Mother, after selling the cloth, I want to buy two rabbits, and some flax."

Quanzi talked to his mother about his ideas, weaving is the most important income of the family now, but Quanzi couldn't bear his mother's hard work all day long, thinking that he should do more to supplement the family.

"Rabbits eat grass, and there are grasses all over the mountains, so I am not afraid that there will be nothing for it to eat. After four or five months of raising it, it will be able to give birth to a baby rabbit."

Inuzi is very smart, he will think about how to improve his life.

"Okay, buy rabbits. What do you want Masi for?"

Liu's mother knew that her son was hardworking, so he could take care of two more rabbits at home.

"Grandmother, I want to weave a net. The fish in Luwei Lake are big and plentiful. I saw someone selling dried fish in Wu's shop. I use the net to catch the fish. If I can't finish eating, I dry the fish and sell it for money. "

"Okay, let's go to Wu's shop tomorrow."

Wujiadian is just a customary name. It is located between Fengxiang and Zhuli. It is a shop where people go to the market and trade items.

On the second day, the mother and son took the cloth and went to the Wujiadian to go to the market.

The money gained from selling cloth is mainly used to buy grain, and then a few bucks are squeezed out of the grain money to buy two little rabbits and a pair of hemp silk.

On the way back, the dog was carrying the food, and Mother Liu put the two cubs in a small bamboo cage, holding the cage in one hand and a large bundle of hemp silk in the other.They had no carts, no carts, only legs.During the journey, mother and son took turns carrying food, and the youngest son was widowed. It was difficult for others to understand.Mother Liu is thin and weaves all day long. She has a bad waist, so she has to stop at the side of the road to rest after walking a short distance with her food on her back.

"Mom, I'll carry it."

Quanzi squatted down and picked up the bag of rice grains. He was not as strong as an adult, and it was very difficult for him to carry it.

"Boy, take a rest when you're tired, don't worry."

Although Mother Liu felt sorry for Gouzi, there was nothing she could do.

Slowly returning to the bamboo, the dog carrying the rice grains was covered in sweat, as if soaked in water.Quanzi thought, it would be great if there was a cart.

When he arrived at the house, the dog rested against the door frame, with a bag of rice and two rabbits beside him.

These are two white rabbits, handsome in appearance, with snow-white fur and red eyes. They look exactly the same in appearance, but they are actually a male and a female.In the future, they can multiply, raise two, and harvest a group, and there will be endless shortage of children and grandchildren.

The bamboo cage given by the rabbit vendor is narrow enough for two rabbits to fit in. The dog will make a big rabbit cage as their future home.

After returning home, Liu's mother hurried to cook, fearing that the dog would be hungry, so she was busy in the kitchen.Gouzi brought a bamboo basket and moved the two rabbits into it, so that they would have a wider range of activities and a place to put grass.Afterwards, Gouzi took the basket and went to the river to look for rabbit grass.In Fengli, Quanzi had never raised rabbits, but he had seen how other people raised rabbits. He knew what kind of grass rabbits could eat.

There is no sickle in the house, but the dog uses a small knife.He dug shepherd's purse, plantain, goosegrass and crabgrass by the river.Quanzi only picks the weeds he knows. He knows that some grasses are poisonous. The two rabbits are important property of the family, and they cannot be poisoned to death because of carelessness.

I quickly picked a basket and poured it into the bamboo basket, filling half of the bamboo basket.Facing the food that was full of pits and grains, the two rabbits struggled to eat. Although they could not speak, they felt that they were very happy.

There is not much bamboo at home, so I will go to Zhushan tomorrow to cut bamboo, and then weave a rabbit cage for the rabbits, and place it in the firewood room to keep out the wind and rain.

"Dog, come and eat."

Mother Liu took off her apron, stood outside the kitchen and shouted.

Quanzi took a bamboo sieve and covered the mouth of the bamboo basket to prevent the rabbit from escaping, and then went to the kitchen.

Mother Liu cooked bean soup, which looked thicker than usual.The dog is tired from work today and needs to eat more food to replenish his energy.Gouzi filled a bowl and drank it.Recently, I have rice grains at home, so I don’t have to go hungry. I eat beans, rice, vegetables and fish every day, which is considered rich.As for pork, chicken and duck, only rich families can eat it, and Gouzi also thinks when the family will be able to eat it and have enough money.Like my aunt's house, there are many fields and countless poultry.

At night, Mother Liu was weaving in the hall, while Gouzi was rubbing hemp silk and weaving fishing nets.

Quanzi has seen Wang Laizi weave fishing nets, but he has never done it himself.Quanzi pondered for a long time before he got the hang of it.

Mother Liu came to have a look, and saw that the fishing nets woven by Gouzi were quite similar except for the holes and holes.Liu's mother wondered when the child would learn how to weave a net, and originally wanted to teach the dog.Liu's mother never wove fishing nets, but she wove bird nets when she was a child, much the same.

Liu's mother had a carefree childhood, much better than Gouzi's, so Liu's mother loved her dog very much.However, she has no other abilities, and can only weave.

Mother Liu was weaving until late at night, when she looked up, she saw that the dog was still there, and his fishing net had been woven and was being rolled.

"Dog, go to sleep."

"Well, mother also rest early."

Gouzi rubbed his eyes and returned to his bedroom.

This day was really exhausting, the dog fell asleep very quickly next to the wooden couch.

For a 13-year-old dog, being able to eat is the most important thing. He has no grand ambitions yet. All he expects is that the pigs will grow fat sooner, the sheep will have babies sooner, and the rabbits will have a litter so that they can be sold. money.In his sleep, Quanzi smiled.

Unconsciously, Quanzi's family already has pigs, sheep, and rabbits, although they are all very small and need to grow up in the future.
