Fantasy Farm
Chapter 3 The Woman in the Well
With the four little piglets, Lu Qingjiu and Yin Xun returned to Shuifu Village in Chen Bo's minivan.
After arriving home, Lu Qingjiu first sent the piglets into the pigsty. He had already cleaned the pigsty in advance and spread clean straw on the ground.According to Yin Xun, pigs actually like to be clean, and they tend to gain weight when they live in a comfortable place.
Lu Qingjiu picked up a few piglets and put them into the pigsty, and put clean pig grass and water in the trough.As soon as the two little white pigs entered, they twisted their fat little buttocks and started eating happily, but the two little black pigs stood still at the door of the pigsty hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that they refused to move, Lu Qingjiu asked doubtfully, "Is this pigsty not to your liking?"
Hearing Lu Qingjiu's question, the big black piggy actually nodded, stretched out his small trotters and pointed to the two little white pigs who were happily eating.
Lu Qingjiu: "You don't want to live with them?"
The black piggy snorted.
Lu Qingjiu looked at Piggy suspiciously: "Are you really a pig? You didn't become a human, did you?"
The black piggy looked at Lu Qingjiu innocently, as if he didn't understand what Lu Qingjiu was talking about. Lu Qingjiu seriously suspected that it was deliberately pretending to be innocent.However, this black piggy should not be changed by humans. After all, if a person finds out that someone is willing to communicate with him, he will definitely show it immediately, so he won't deliberately pretend to be stupid like him.
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, then took a wooden plank from the side, and separated the two black piglets and white piglets from the middle, so that the two little piglets walked cautiously into the pigsty on their toes. After looking around, he lay down on the clean straw and began to rest.
Seeing this, Lu Qingjiu ignored them and turned back to the house.
Yin Xun was busy in the kitchen, arranging the things Lu Qingjiu bought one by one.Lu Qingjiu came in and asked him what he would like to have for dinner.
"Anything is fine." Yin Xun was quite casual, "I'll go to the field to pick some food and we'll have a hot pot?"
"Okay." Lu Qingjiu said, "I'll make a pot of soup first... By the way, where can I get this pigweed, or can I just feed it?"
"Pigweed, you can ask the children in the village to pick it for you." Yin Xun said, "It's fifty cents a basket, and you don't have to run up the mountain for some pocket money they earn. You can just watch the feed and add some vitamins that pigs need in it. Yes, if the pig eats too much meat, it will not be so fragrant, but it is not easy to get sick."
Lu Qingjiu nodded when he heard the words, indicating that he understood.
"I'm going to pick vegetables, you can make soup first." Yin Xun went to his own field.
Lu Qingjiu put the bones he bought from the market today into the pot, lit the fire and started cooking, and cut some meat he bought.There is a refrigerator in the old house, but it has not been used for a long time, and the cooling effect is not very good. Lu Qingjiu stuffed the remaining ingredients into the refrigerator, picked up the vegetables and went to the yard to clean them, but heard a loud thud, It sounded like the sound of something heavy falling into the water.
This voice came from the backyard. Lu Qingjiu was slightly taken aback when he heard the sound, then thought of something, put down the vegetables in his hand, and hurried to the backyard.
The backyard hadn't been cleaned much, and it was surrounded by withered trees and messy weeds. There were white spider webs hanging on the walls, and the black well in front of him stood out.
Lu Qingjiu had just clearly heard the sound of something falling into the water. He was afraid that a village child would accidentally fall into the well, so he hurried to the edge of the well and looked inside.
The mouth of the well was dark, and there was no end in sight. Lu Qingjiu yelled a few times, but he didn't hear any cry for help from inside.
"Is anyone there? Did someone fall in?" Lu Qingjiu continued to shout, "If someone calls out—"
The well was quiet, except for a dead silence.
Lu Qingjiu called a few more words, but there was still no response. He was thinking whether it was someone who fell in or what kind of thing fell in, when Yin Xun's voice came from beside him: "Jiu'er? Jiu'er? You Woolen cloth?"
"I'm in the backyard." Lu Qingjiu replied.
"What are you doing in the backyard?" Yin Xun said, "I came back after picking vegetables, this cucumber is so sweet..."
Lu Qingjiu glanced at Jingkou: "I just heard the sound of something falling, so I came over to have a look."
"Oh, is there anything there?" Yin Xun stood at the door of the backyard, holding a half-gnawed cucumber in his hand, looking at Lu Qingjiu from afar.
"No." Lu Qingjiu said.
"Then don't worry about it." Yin Xun said, "It may be that the stones thrown by some children outside the wall accidentally rolled into the mouth of the well."
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, and felt that the person who fell into the well was not a human being, so he ignored it, left the backyard, walked to Yin Xun's side, and walked towards the front yard together.Yin Xun looked at Lu Qingjiu, took another bite of the cucumber, crunched it into pieces, and asked vaguely, "What's on your back?"
"On my back?" Lu Qingjiu turned to look behind him, "What is it?"
Yin Xun stretched out his hand, and took out a black mass from Lu Qingjiu's back: "This..."
Lu Qingjiu saw clearly what was in Yin Xun's hand, it turned out to be a mass of black hair, which stuck to his back at some point.
"This is hair? Damn it!" Yin Xun saw clearly that the thing in his hand was hair and quickly threw it aside, "What the hell, it's so disgusting."
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He silently glanced at the well in his backyard, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's fine." Yin Xun said, "It's a rural area, the place is remote, there are always weird things..."
Lu Qingjiu was startled: "Strange things? For example?"
Yin Xun was silent for a moment, then whispered to Lu Qingjiu, "Last summer, that baby in the Liu family was drowned."
"Drown?" Lu Qingjiu said, "In the stream in the village? Isn't that stream very shallow?" There are not many rivers in their place, and as far as he knows, the place with water near the village is a knee-deep river. The stream, the stream is not rushing and there are no aquatic plants, even if you fall in it, you can easily stand up.
"No." Yin Xun said, "It wouldn't be a particularly strange thing if it was there, he was drowned in...the forest."
Lu Qingjiu didn't understand for a while, and repeated in doubt: "In the woods?"
"That's right." Yin Xun whispered: "It's in the woods, there is no water around. At that time, Liu's family called the police. After the autopsy, the police said that he was drowned."
Lu Qingjiu said: "...Then what happened in the end?"
"What can we do in the end." Yin Xun said, "Let's forget it. In fact, there are such strange things in other villages, but not many, there may be one or two in a few years."
Lu Qingjiu had nothing to say. He actually encountered this kind of thing when he was working in the city before, but he never thought that such a strange thing would still happen in another place.
"So if you meet it in the future, just treat it as if you didn't see it." Yin Xun said, "Out of sight, out of mind."
Lu Qingjiu thought to himself, out of sight, out of mind is how it works...
Yin Xun handed Lu Qingjiu a cucumber, and the two squatted in the front yard and continued to wash vegetables.
The taste of cucumbers is really good, crisp and sweet, without any bitterness, and full of water, which tastes almost like fruit. After eating cucumbers, Lu Qingjiu felt a little better in his heart, and said, "Then have you ever encountered any strange things? thing?"
Yin Xun grinned happily, and that cute canine tooth was exposed again: "Maybe I met it before, I didn't pay attention."
Lu Qingjiu thought to himself that it's good to have a rough nerve.
Yin Xun picked a lot of vegetables, and after washing them, Lu Qingjiu added the stewed bone soup base to the hot pot base brought from the city, and brought it to the yard after it was boiled. The two opened a few bottles of beer, feeling very happy Started drinking beer while eating hot pot.
The taste of the hot pot is very simple. Fortunately, the ingredients are fresh, so the taste is not bad. The rich aroma of the bone soup fills the whole garden. Yin Xun had a few drinks, two blushes appeared on his cheeks, and he looked a little drunk.
Lu Qingjiu also developed a strong drunkenness. He hadn't been drunk for a long time, and his consciousness was blurred from working overtime on weekdays. How could he have time to stop and have a drink with his friends.
It's still comfortable in my hometown, and I don't have to think about going to work tomorrow. Just thinking about it, Lu Qingjiu saw Yin Xun who was sitting in front of him suddenly stretch out his hand, pointing behind him, and said vaguely: "Okay... so dark ah."
"What?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Didn't you turn on the light?"
Yin Xun tilted his head, his expression was very confused: "But it's still very dark."
Lu Qingjiu thought that Yin Xun was completely drunk, but he didn't understand the meaning of Yin Xun's words until he also turned his head and looked behind him. He saw a black figure standing not far from them, That person is like a black hole that absorbs light. When the light reaches that position, it is completely absorbed.Lu Qingjiu rubbed his eyes heavily, only then did he fully see that the black shadow was actually a mass of human hair.
"Do you know what I'm most afraid of?" It was a woman's soft question that sounded in my ear.
Maybe it was the alcohol that had paralyzed his nerves, but Lu Qingjiu didn't have much fear. He looked at the hair and heard the woman ask again.
"Do you know what I'm most afraid of?" the black hair, getting closer to them.
Lu Qingjiu's lips moved slightly: "You are most afraid..."
"what?"
"Most... most afraid of baldness?" Lu Qingjiu, who was drunk, said very seriously, and felt that there was nothing wrong with his own logic being perfect, otherwise why would that female ghost have so much hair... He said this, still touching Touching his hair, he sighed a little sadly, "It's a good thing I resigned early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to escape..."
The black shadow trembled twice, and I don't know if it was shocked by Lu Qingjiu's answer. After all, it was the first time she heard such an answer in so many years. The man in front of her was so pure and unpretentious, he was not at all different from other coquettish bitches. .
The black figure in front of her seemed to be still wanting to speak, but a cloud of thick black fog suddenly appeared around the yard. The female ghost sensed something, and disappeared in front of Lu Qingjiu's eyes the next moment, leaving only a gloomy patch of water on the ground. stains.
Lu Qingjiu felt that he was really drunk, otherwise how could the thing have disappeared like this, and Yin Xun who was opposite him opened another bottle and filled him a glass.
"Drink..." Yin Xun said with a big tongue, "keep drinking..."
Lu Qingjiu picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, saying, "Drink!"
He couldn't remember what happened afterwards, and it was already the next morning when he remembered again. He and Yin Xun lay in the yard for the whole night.Especially the head, after the hangover, the pain was almost exploding. Lu Qingjiu got up from the ground in a daze, and pushed Yin Xun who was sleeping next to him with crooked eyes and mouth.
"Hey... ouch..." Yin Xun opened his eyes and cried out, "My whole body hurts, Jiu'er, did you beat me up last night while I was drunk?"
Lu Qingjiu: "...I'm in pain too, okay?"
Yin Xun said: "I can't, I can't, my whole body hurts badly, especially my butt." He rubbed his butt, looked at Lu Qingjiu suspiciously, and said, "You really didn't do anything to me?"
Lu Qingjiu: "The mirror is in the room, go and take a look at your face to be more sober."
Yin Xun: "I look so good-looking."
Lu Qingjiu: "What a fart, you're going to be swollen like a pig's head."
Confused, Yin Xun staggered into the room and found the mirror hanging in the toilet, and then Lu Qingjiu heard a scream from him: "Lu Qingjiu—you fucking beat me up while I was sleeping last night !"
Lu Qingjiu: "I didn't!"
Yin Xun: "Then why am I swollen and you aren't swollen!"
Lu Qingjiu: "Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."
Yin Xun: "..." You are really shameless.
Just kidding, the face suddenly swelled and I had to go and see, so the two limped to the village health center with their arms.The villagers I knew were happy to see the two of them in such a miserable state, and they joked, why was it that they were caught stealing rice in the middle of the night last night and were beaten up?
Yin Xun said with a sad face, "Auntie, stop making fun of me."
When they arrived at the health center, the doctor checked and said that Yin Xun was allergic to something, not because he was beaten up, and Lu Qingjiu was cleared of his suspicions.
"What are you allergic to?" Yin Xun didn't want to understand, "Isn't everything I eat normal?"
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Could it be that you are allergic to the hot pot ingredients I brought?"
Yin Xun was dumbfounded: "...No way! There are people who are allergic to hot pot ingredients?!"
"It's possible." Lu Qingjiu analyzed it carefully, "There are a lot of spices in the hot pot ingredients, you might be allergic...Of course it's only possible, you are the first person I've ever seen who is allergic to hot pot ingredients."
Yin Xun shed tears of sorrow.
The doctor saw that Yin Xun's symptoms were not particularly serious, so he prescribed some medicine and told him to go back to take it, saying that he would be fine in two days without touching the allergen.
Then the two disabled people went home with the help of them.
After returning home, Lu Qingjiu lay on the bed for a long time before he felt better. When he got up to pack the things in the front yard, he glanced at the location of the back yard, and seemed to vaguely remember something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.In the end, he really couldn't think of it, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, it wasn't a big deal.
After tidying up the house and eating something casually, Lu Qingjiu soaked the seeds in warm water and planned to plant some of them in the afternoon. Soaking the seeds in warm water can make the seeds germinate more easily, and it was Yin Xun who told him.After soaking the seeds, he went to the neighbor's house next door, and happened to see the neighbor's child sitting in the yard weaving straw ropes. The neighbor's house had seen Lu Qingjiu when he was a child, and he had a good relationship with his grandma. Sending him a basket of sweet potatoes, Lu Qingjiu sincerely thanked him.
"What's the matter, Xiao Lu?" Neighbor Uncle Li asked.
"I want to ask if Xiaoyu is okay?" Lu Qingjiu said, "I need some pigweed at home."
Xiaoyu is the name of a neighbor's child, his full name is Li Xiaoyu. Hearing this, he nodded quickly, threw the hemp rope in his hand, and said, "I'm fine, how many frames do you want?"
"Several boxes are fine." Lu Qingjiu felt that Li Xiaoyu should have gone to elementary school at this age, "Is the place where pigweed is hunted dangerous? Can children go there?"
"It's okay." Uncle Li laughed when he heard about it, and said indifferently, "They have been used to being wild there since they were young, and I still don't thank you, Brother Lu."
"Thank you Brother Lu." Li Xiaoyu stood up happily, and it was obvious that the kid was very happy to get the pocket money, and the family did not object.
"Aren't you going to school?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"Just half a day." Uncle Li said indifferently, "Anyway, I will go home to farm in the future, so what's the use of going to school. Not everyone can become a college student like you."
Lu Qingjiu gave Li Xiaoyu two yuan, and saw him happily going out with a bamboo basket and sickle on his back.
Looking at his back, Lu Qingjiu hesitated to speak, but he still didn't say anything. After all, this is a family matter, and it's not easy for him to get involved.
Afterwards, Lu Qingjiu took the seeds soaked in warm water and planted them in the field. This time he didn't plant too many. Most of the seeds he planted were cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetable seeds that he usually eats. Of course, he didn't forget to plant some vegetables. , and buried some potato tubers by the way.
Anyway, it's the first time to try it out, Lu Qingjiu is not very particular, and he grows it casually.According to Yin Xun, if he doesn't pay attention to the output and doesn't sell it, it's almost the same, and there's no need to take too much trouble to serve it.
Lu Qingjiu cultivated less than half an acre of land, and it was already almost dark. He sweated a lot, and his clothes were almost soaked. He lamented that only by doing the farming himself can he understand what it means to drop the grain of sweat into the soil.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qingjiu went home, took a shower and changed his clothes, then steamed the buns he bought yesterday in a steamer and planned to eat them for dinner.
Just when the buns were almost steaming, someone knocked on the front door. Lu Qingjiu went over to open the door, only to find that Li Xiaoyu, who went to hunt pigweed in the back mountain, had returned. He was holding a large basket and tied it with ropes. With a smile on his face, he said, "Brother Lu, the grass has been cut for you. Anyway, I'm fine. Let me feed the pigs for you."
Just as Lu Qingjiu was about to refuse, he saw the kid running towards the pigsty, and he couldn't stop him.
In desperation, Lu Qingjiu had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house, wrapped some freshly steamed buns for the children, thought for a while, and took out a bar of chocolate from his suitcase.
Lu Qingjiu went to the pigsty with his things, and before he arrived, he heard Li Xiaoyu yelling: "Brother Lu, your pig looks so cute!"
Lu Qingjiu walked over to take a look, and saw that the little black piggy who was praised by Li Xiaoyu was proudly puffing out his chest, with an expression of discerning children.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Why did he see the expression on the pig's face.
"Can I give it a name?" Li Xiaoyu turned to look at Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He thought of Yin Xun's tragedy, but facing Li Xiaoyu's longing eyes, he could only think that if there was an emergency, he would make the braised pork better, "Okay .”
"You can call me Xiaohua." Li Xiaoyu pointed to the big pig and said.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Is this a choice of fate?He tactfully said, "Why do you call it Xiaohua? Isn't it better to call it another name?"
Li Xiaoyu said: "But it has flowers on its back." The pig's back is covered with a layer of soft fluff, with patterns like squirrels, black and brown.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He was unable to refute.
Li Xiaoyu said: "Your name is Xiao Hei." He named the smaller one again, "You are the cutest pigs I have ever seen!"
Lu Qingjiu thought, it might be the most delicious...
Li Xiaoyu saw that Xiaohua Xiaohei was full and his little belly was bulging, so he said goodbye to Lu Qingjiu with satisfaction, and asked in embarrassment if he could let him go to hunt pigweed next time, Lu Qingjiu nodded in agreement , and gave Li Xiaoyu the buns and chocolates in his hand.
Seeing the child bouncing away, Lu Qingjiu glanced at Xiao Hua who was licking Xiao Hei, and said, "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hua, you need to grow up well."
Xiao Hua: "..." Who is your name?Who the hell is Xiao Hua? !How could he admit such a name as an excellent male!
Xiao Hei: "..." What, what?What is her brother talking about?Hmm... pigweed is so delicious, baji baji baji.
Xiaohua: You fucking still eat. If you get fat, you will be the first to kill and eat meat!
Xiao Hei was extremely wronged: brother, you are so fierce...and you obviously enjoyed eating just now.
Xiaohua: Shut up!Don't talk!
Lu Qingjiu, who was standing next to the pigsty, naturally couldn't understand the conversation of the two little black pigs, he could only hear them moaning, and he took it as a sign that they were enjoying themselves.When he turned back to the old house, he thought that if he had time, he would buy some chickens and raise them, so that the yard would be more lively...
After arriving home, Lu Qingjiu first sent the piglets into the pigsty. He had already cleaned the pigsty in advance and spread clean straw on the ground.According to Yin Xun, pigs actually like to be clean, and they tend to gain weight when they live in a comfortable place.
Lu Qingjiu picked up a few piglets and put them into the pigsty, and put clean pig grass and water in the trough.As soon as the two little white pigs entered, they twisted their fat little buttocks and started eating happily, but the two little black pigs stood still at the door of the pigsty hesitantly.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that they refused to move, Lu Qingjiu asked doubtfully, "Is this pigsty not to your liking?"
Hearing Lu Qingjiu's question, the big black piggy actually nodded, stretched out his small trotters and pointed to the two little white pigs who were happily eating.
Lu Qingjiu: "You don't want to live with them?"
The black piggy snorted.
Lu Qingjiu looked at Piggy suspiciously: "Are you really a pig? You didn't become a human, did you?"
The black piggy looked at Lu Qingjiu innocently, as if he didn't understand what Lu Qingjiu was talking about. Lu Qingjiu seriously suspected that it was deliberately pretending to be innocent.However, this black piggy should not be changed by humans. After all, if a person finds out that someone is willing to communicate with him, he will definitely show it immediately, so he won't deliberately pretend to be stupid like him.
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, then took a wooden plank from the side, and separated the two black piglets and white piglets from the middle, so that the two little piglets walked cautiously into the pigsty on their toes. After looking around, he lay down on the clean straw and began to rest.
Seeing this, Lu Qingjiu ignored them and turned back to the house.

"What?" Lu Qingjiu said, "Didn't you turn on the light?"
Yin Xun tilted his head, his expression was very confused: "But it's still very dark."
Lu Qingjiu thought that Yin Xun was completely drunk, but he didn't understand the meaning of Yin Xun's words until he also turned his head and looked behind him.

"Do you know what I'm most afraid of?" the black hair, getting closer to them.
Lu Qingjiu's lips moved slightly: "You are most afraid..."
"what?"
"Most... most afraid of baldness?" Lu Qingjiu, who was drunk, said very seriously, and felt that there was nothing wrong with his own logic being perfect, otherwise why would that female ghost have so much hair... He said this, still touching Touching his hair, he sighed a little sadly, "It's a good thing I resigned early, otherwise I wouldn't be able to escape..."

Lu Qingjiu picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, saying, "Drink!"
He couldn't remember what happened afterwards, and it was already the next morning when he remembered again. He and Yin Xun lay in the yard for the whole night.Especially the head, after the hangover, the pain was almost exploding. Lu Qingjiu got up from the ground in a daze, and pushed Yin Xun who was sleeping next to him with crooked eyes and mouth.
"Hey... ouch..." Yin Xun opened his eyes and cried out, "My whole body hurts, Jiu'er, did you beat me up last night while I was drunk?"
Lu Qingjiu: "...I'm in pain too, okay?"
Yin Xun said: "I can't, I can't, my whole body hurts badly, especially my butt." He rubbed his butt, looked at Lu Qingjiu suspiciously, and said, "You really didn't do anything to me?"
Lu Qingjiu: "The mirror is in the room, go and take a look at your face to be more sober."
Yin Xun: "I look so good-looking."
Lu Qingjiu: "What a fart, you're going to be swollen like a pig's head."
Confused, Yin Xun staggered into the room and found the mirror hanging in the toilet, and then Lu Qingjiu heard a scream from him: "Lu Qingjiu—you fucking beat me up while I was sleeping last night !"
Lu Qingjiu: "I didn't!"
Yin Xun: "Then why am I swollen and you aren't swollen!"
Lu Qingjiu: "Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."
Yin Xun: "..." You are really shameless.
Just kidding, the face suddenly swelled and I had to go and see, so the two limped to the village health center with their arms.The villagers I knew were happy to see the two of them in such a miserable state, and they joked, why was it that they were caught stealing rice in the middle of the night last night and were beaten up?
Yin Xun said with a sad face, "Auntie, stop making fun of me."
When they arrived at the health center, the doctor checked and said that Yin Xun was allergic to something, not because he was beaten up, and Lu Qingjiu was cleared of his suspicions.
"What are you allergic to?" Yin Xun didn't want to understand, "Isn't everything I eat normal?"
Lu Qingjiu thought for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Could it be that you are allergic to the hot pot ingredients I brought?"
Yin Xun was dumbfounded: "...No way! There are people who are allergic to hot pot ingredients?!"
"It's possible." Lu Qingjiu analyzed it carefully, "There are a lot of spices in the hot pot ingredients, you might be allergic...Of course it's only possible, you are the first person I've ever seen who is allergic to hot pot ingredients."
Yin Xun shed tears of sorrow.
The doctor saw that Yin Xun's symptoms were not particularly serious, so he prescribed some medicine and told him to go back to take it, saying that he would be fine in two days without touching the allergen.
Then the two disabled people went home with the help of them.
After returning home, Lu Qingjiu lay on the bed for a long time before he felt better. When he got up to pack the things in the front yard, he glanced at the location of the back yard, and seemed to vaguely remember something, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.In the end, he really couldn't think of it, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, it wasn't a big deal.
After tidying up the house and eating something casually, Lu Qingjiu soaked the seeds in warm water and planned to plant some of them in the afternoon. Soaking the seeds in warm water can make the seeds germinate more easily, and it was Yin Xun who told him.After soaking the seeds, he went to the neighbor's house next door, and happened to see the neighbor's child sitting in the yard weaving straw ropes. The neighbor's house had seen Lu Qingjiu when he was a child, and he had a good relationship with his grandma. Sending him a basket of sweet potatoes, Lu Qingjiu sincerely thanked him.
"What's the matter, Xiao Lu?" Neighbor Uncle Li asked.
"I want to ask if Xiaoyu is okay?" Lu Qingjiu said, "I need some pigweed at home."
Xiaoyu is the name of a neighbor's child, his full name is Li Xiaoyu. Hearing this, he nodded quickly, threw the hemp rope in his hand, and said, "I'm fine, how many frames do you want?"
"Several boxes are fine." Lu Qingjiu felt that Li Xiaoyu should have gone to elementary school at this age, "Is the place where pigweed is hunted dangerous? Can children go there?"
"It's okay." Uncle Li laughed when he heard about it, and said indifferently, "They have been used to being wild there since they were young, and I still don't thank you, Brother Lu."
"Thank you Brother Lu." Li Xiaoyu stood up happily, and it was obvious that the kid was very happy to get the pocket money, and the family did not object.
"Aren't you going to school?" Lu Qingjiu asked.
"Just half a day." Uncle Li said indifferently, "Anyway, I will go home to farm in the future, so what's the use of going to school. Not everyone can become a college student like you."
Lu Qingjiu gave Li Xiaoyu two yuan, and saw him happily going out with a bamboo basket and sickle on his back.
Looking at his back, Lu Qingjiu hesitated to speak, but he still didn't say anything. After all, this is a family matter, and it's not easy for him to get involved.
Afterwards, Lu Qingjiu took the seeds soaked in warm water and planted them in the field. This time he didn't plant too many. Most of the seeds he planted were cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetable seeds that he usually eats. Of course, he didn't forget to plant some vegetables. , and buried some potato tubers by the way.
Anyway, it's the first time to try it out, Lu Qingjiu is not very particular, and he grows it casually.According to Yin Xun, if he doesn't pay attention to the output and doesn't sell it, it's almost the same, and there's no need to take too much trouble to serve it.
Lu Qingjiu cultivated less than half an acre of land, and it was already almost dark. He sweated a lot, and his clothes were almost soaked. He lamented that only by doing the farming himself can he understand what it means to drop the grain of sweat into the soil.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qingjiu went home, took a shower and changed his clothes, then steamed the buns he bought yesterday in a steamer and planned to eat them for dinner.
Just when the buns were almost steaming, someone knocked on the front door. Lu Qingjiu went over to open the door, only to find that Li Xiaoyu, who went to hunt pigweed in the back mountain, had returned. He was holding a large basket and tied it with ropes. With a smile on his face, he said, "Brother Lu, the grass has been cut for you. Anyway, I'm fine. Let me feed the pigs for you."
Just as Lu Qingjiu was about to refuse, he saw the kid running towards the pigsty, and he couldn't stop him.
In desperation, Lu Qingjiu had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house, wrapped some freshly steamed buns for the children, thought for a while, and took out a bar of chocolate from his suitcase.
Lu Qingjiu went to the pigsty with his things, and before he arrived, he heard Li Xiaoyu yelling: "Brother Lu, your pig looks so cute!"
Lu Qingjiu walked over to take a look, and saw that the little black piggy who was praised by Li Xiaoyu was proudly puffing out his chest, with an expression of discerning children.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Why did he see the expression on the pig's face.
"Can I give it a name?" Li Xiaoyu turned to look at Lu Qingjiu.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He thought of Yin Xun's tragedy, but facing Li Xiaoyu's longing eyes, he could only think that if there was an emergency, he would make the braised pork better, "Okay .”
"You can call me Xiaohua." Li Xiaoyu pointed to the big pig and said.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." Is this a choice of fate?He tactfully said, "Why do you call it Xiaohua? Isn't it better to call it another name?"
Li Xiaoyu said: "But it has flowers on its back." The pig's back is covered with a layer of soft fluff, with patterns like squirrels, black and brown.
Lu Qingjiu: "..." He was unable to refute.
Li Xiaoyu said: "Your name is Xiao Hei." He named the smaller one again, "You are the cutest pigs I have ever seen!"
Lu Qingjiu thought, it might be the most delicious...
Li Xiaoyu saw that Xiaohua Xiaohei was full and his little belly was bulging, so he said goodbye to Lu Qingjiu with satisfaction, and asked in embarrassment if he could let him go to hunt pigweed next time, Lu Qingjiu nodded in agreement , and gave Li Xiaoyu the buns and chocolates in his hand.
Seeing the child bouncing away, Lu Qingjiu glanced at Xiao Hua who was licking Xiao Hei, and said, "Xiao Hei, Xiao Hua, you need to grow up well."
Xiao Hua: "..." Who is your name?Who the hell is Xiao Hua? !How could he admit such a name as an excellent male!
Xiao Hei: "..." What, what?What is her brother talking about?Hmm... pigweed is so delicious, baji baji baji.
Xiaohua: You fucking still eat. If you get fat, you will be the first to kill and eat meat!
Xiao Hei was extremely wronged: brother, you are so fierce...and you obviously enjoyed eating just now.
Xiaohua: Shut up!Don't talk!
Lu Qingjiu, who was standing next to the pigsty, naturally couldn't understand the conversation of the two little black pigs, he could only hear them moaning, and he took it as a sign that they were enjoying themselves.When he turned back to the old house, he thought that if he had time, he would buy some chickens and raise them, so that the yard would be more lively...
