Tang Han spent the whole night surrounded by his mother's yin and yang.

After eating, she wanted Mama Tang to bring me some melon seeds and fruits, so that she could watch TV while eating, and pass the boring time.But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was knocked back.Tang Han had no choice but to do it himself, and came over with melon seeds, peanuts and fruits in a fruit plate.

She even put the most beautiful orange in front of Tang Ma, but Tang Ma didn't even look at it.

Tang Han knew the situation was serious this time.

She tried her best to find several topics, but Tang Ma turned a deaf ear to them and ignored them at all.Tang Han racked his brains, and suddenly remembered the eggs he couldn't find, so he asked, "Mom, where are our eggs?"

She remembered what Jiang Dai said before that Mama Tang enjoyed the fact that her family depended on her, which made her feel needed.That being the case, is it right to ask this?

However, Tang's mother looked indifferent, "You ask me, how do I know? Am I a long-term worker of your Tang family? Ask me about everything."

"Isn't that why I didn't find it? You usually collect it." Tang Han muttered softly.

"That means I've finished eating." Tang Ma sneered, "Go and look under my pillow to see if you can find the remaining egg shells."

This is a very heavy word.Tang Han didn't dare to speak again, and the others were also silent.Even Ozawa knows how to read his face and knows to keep quiet at this time.No one spoke, and the atmosphere suddenly became more tense and dignified.

Until Jiang Dai said, "I remember seeing poker cards before, why don't we play cards?"

"Then come." Qin Yu saw that she wanted to liven up the atmosphere, and immediately agreed.

Although Ozawa didn't understand what they were talking about, as long as there was excitement, he would join in and immediately said loudly, "Come here!"

"Come on." Father Tang also said, "What are you hitting?"

"Fight the Landlord?" Tang Han suggested.

Jiang Dai shook her head and gave her a push, "Go find the cards first."

When Tang Han came back with the cards, he found that the rest of the players had already discussed how to play: throw two.

This is a very popular game in the local area. Four people are divided into two groups to play against each other. The person who touches 2 first and shows it is the dealer. The suit of this 2 is the main card, and all 2s and kings and kings are also the main card. 5, 10, and K are split cards, and when the cards are played, they are compared with the size to grab points.If the other group gets 45 points, they can take away the dealer. If they get 40 points, it’s a tie, and they start over by throwing 2 points to grab the dealer. If they don’t get a point, their heads will be shaved.

Of course, it is impossible to really shave the head, so generally speaking, let the children who are not yet sensible snore on the head for a while. Children do not know how to measure, and they often make adults very embarrassed. up.

Ozawa happens to be able to take on this glorious but arduous task.

As soon as Tang Han shuffled the cards and put them down, Tang Ma stood up straight away, "Go ahead and play, I'll go to bed first."

Jiang Dai had sharp eyes and quick hands, and quickly reached out to grab him, "Auntie, don't go, I haven't played this kind of game before, I don't know how to play, you stay and teach me! Otherwise, the three of them are so good, I will definitely lose. gone."

Tang Ma hesitated for a moment, Jiang Dai had already chased away Tang Han who was sitting next to her, made room for her, and then pushed Tang Ma up, "You just sit here and teach me how to play cards."

The original seats were Jiang Dai on Tang Han's right, Tang's father on his left, then Tang's mother, Ozawa and Qin Yu.

Tang Han gave up his seat and had no choice but to pass Father Tang, planning to sit opposite Jiang Dai and join her.But as soon as he got to the position, Jiang Dai raised his eyes and looked over. His eyes were like knives, full of disapproval, and seemed to say: If you dare to sit here, you will die.

? ? ?Tang Han was at a loss, but she had already received a warning, so she couldn't just go her own way.Looking around, carrying a stool, he worked tirelessly around Ozawa and Qin Yu, and squeezed to the other side of Jiang Dai.

It's almost like drawing a 270° circle.

Qin Yu, who was squeezed away, was speechless for a moment, and went around and sat in Tang Ma's original position.

In this way, Jiang Dai and Qin Yu are facing each other, and Father Tang and Tang Han are facing each other. Jiang Dai sighed softly. Her original plan was to hope that Tang Han and Qin Yu would be facing each other, but now that this is the case , there is no way.

She picked up the cards with a smile and reshuffled them a few times, and whispered to Tang Ma who was sitting beside her, "We will try to shave Tang Han's head."

Tang Han, who was sitting on the other side of Jiang Dai: "??? I heard it!"

But there is no doubt that Tang Ma has been aroused to fight.She moved the stool inward, and stared at the four people drawing cards with piercing eyes.

Perhaps their luck was really good. After only a few cards in their hands, Ozawa helped Qin Yu get a 2 of Hearts, and threw it on the stove without hesitation.When Tang Ma saw this card, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

In all fairness, the cards in Jiang Dai's hand are not good, and she doesn't have a single card for leading people, but out of the five cards in her hand, four are hearts.

Although the cards are small, if other people don't have the main card, even the 3 of hearts is a big killer!

In a blink of an eye, after drawing 12 cards, half of Jiang Dai's hands were hearts, and she also drew a Xiao Wang.But in the deck, apart from the king of clubs, they are all small cards, and two of them are split cards, a 5 of diamonds and a 10 of spades.

Qin Yu took the remaining six hole cards.Because the local game can pick the bottom-that is, in the last round, if the non-banker's group of cards is bigger, you can turn over the hole cards, and if there are split cards in the bottom cards, double the score.So the hole cards he put down again are covered and not shown to others.

In this way, the difficulty of guessing and recording cards is also greater.

"AK of spades." Qin Yu played a card.

With a little smile on Jiang Dai's face, she pulled out the 10 of spades and put the 5 of diamonds in it.

"What, you just have a spade?" Tang Han couldn't believe it, "Are you sure? If you eat buns, the dealer will be ours."

Before Jiang Dai could speak, Tang Ma said, "You can remember."

"Yes." Jiang Dai turned her head and smiled at Tang Han, "It's your turn to play, hurry up."

This round of cards is really good, Jiang Dai and Qin Yu just complement each other.After playing the 10 of spades, she lacked this one, and then used the small main card to kill Papa Tang's king of spades.On Qin Yu's side, they put all the cards of clubs in the hole cards. Without this one, Jiang Dai happened to have the most cards.They helped each other to discard a lot of junk cards, and the rest were all good cards.

As for Father Tang and Tang Han, it wasn't that they didn't have good cards in their hands, it was just that they couldn't get rid of garbage cards. After the main cards were adjusted, they became very passive.

So this round was easy, and he actually shaved his head bald.

Tang Ma was very excited, "Xiao Ze, go and shave your grandfather and sister's head."

Ozawa couldn't wait for a long time, probably still a little afraid of Tang's father, moved the stool to Tang Han's side, stepped on the stool, and rubbed his hands vigorously for a long time, almost rubbing Tang Han's hair into a chicken coop.

Tang Han pressed his aching scalp and looked at Jiang Dai sadly, "It's so cruel."

But Tang's mother was obviously very happy to see her like this.Changing from his previous indifference to Tang Han, he began to actively tease and ridicule her.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere became relaxed and lively again.

……

The next day, everyone was woken up by the crowing of chickens.

It's not the penetrating Qingyue crowing of the rooster, but the hen sings repeatedly like a repeater: cluck cluck, cluck cluck...

This sound is much more powerful than an alarm clock.Even Tang Han, who was used to lying in bed, had to get up angrily, and said viciously while putting on his clothes, "I can't have this chicken. I'll catch it and slaughter it today."

Jiang Dai looked at her amusedly, but didn't say much.After combing her hair, she came out of the room, only to see Tang's mother grabbing the crowing hen and turning the basket over to cover it.

Hearing the old hen's tragic crowing, Jiang Dai was also startled, wondering if Mother Tang was going to kill this chicken for meat?

Obviously, she is not the only one who thinks this way, and the Qin family father and son who got up afterwards also think so.Ozawa squatted next to the back basket, looking at the thumping hen with bright eyes, talking to it in a low voice, trying to comfort it, and let it die happily.

Until Tang Han explained to them, "This is a hen's nest, and she wants to hatch chicks."

Sure enough, the chicken struggled for a while, then settled down, squatting motionless on the ground, it really looked like it was hatching chicks.

After eating breakfast, he probably found that there were no eggs for him to hatch. The old hen began to struggle excitedly again, almost overturning the basket several times.Jiang Dai looked at it for a while and asked Tang Han, "Will it always be like this?"

Tang Han said, "It will be fine in a few days."

Jiang Dai squatted next to the basket and looked at it for a while, and couldn't help but sighed, "This is the instinct of animals to reproduce..."

"Yes." Tang Han said, "Fortunately, people have escaped the control of this instinct."

"Not necessarily." Jiang Dai retorted, "Do you think human beings are not controlled by the instinct of reproduction? I think it's just a different form."

Tang Han glanced at her, "You're a bit cynical."

"Just to tell the truth." Jiang Dai said, "This kind of thing is written into the genes, how can it be so easy to get rid of? Human beings just found more high-sounding reasons for this kind of reproduction. Such as marriage, love, Filial piety, inheritance, etc."

"It seems right to say that, but there's nothing wrong with it, right?" Tang Han said, "The happiness of the mundane world is made up of these things."

"That's right." Jiang Dai nodded and asked casually, "What about you?"

"What am I?"

"Do you want this... the happiness of the mundane world?" Jiang Dai said, "At the right age, find the right person to marry and have children, complete the tasks entrusted to you by society, and become one of the ordinary people."

Not out of line, not rebellious, oblivious to everyone.

"Probably not." Tang Han thought for a while and said, "Raising a child means being responsible for everything about him. I always feel that I can't bear such a big responsibility."

"

Look at my parents, they are already very good parents. I don't know how much hard work they put in to raise me and my sister.But even so, we still have many regrets in the process of growing up. "Even, Tang Han thought, she felt that she was flawed, many of which were caused by her growth environment. But it would be too hurtful to say such things.

Parents have done everything they can to support them.It's just that they are just ordinary people, and they don't become supermen just because they become parents.

So there is always something that can't be taken care of.

Tang Han skipped this part and concluded, "I can't even compare to my parents, so don't delay the child?"

Since I don't have children, there is no need to get married at an appropriate age. I can live a more relaxed life by myself without thinking so much.

Jiang Dai was not very surprised by her statement. Tang Han seemed to be a very assertive person with his own set of survival theories.At her age, she had obviously thought about this kind of question more than once.

It is because the reproduction of human beings is not only about having children, but also includes all kinds of investment and teaching in the following decades, so it cannot be decided lightly.

Just as Jiang Dai was about to speak, she heard Tang Ma calling Tang Han's name in the room.

Tang Han got up to leave, Jiang Dai squatted where she was, looked at the hen who had quieted down again for a while, and suddenly laughed.

This hen suddenly became like this, probably due to the influence of body hormones.Human beings claim to be the primates of all things, but in fact they are also affected by hormones all the time.However, they can restrain this instinct with reason.

She stood up and followed Tang Han's footsteps.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Tang Ma commanding Tang Han, "Go and take down that basket."

That basket was placed on top of the cabinet and was rarely noticed.Tang Han stepped on the stool and took it down, only to find that it was full of eggs.

"Did I steal the eggs?" Tang Ma asked intentionally when she saw her put down the basket.

Tang Han scratched his face, "I didn't say you ate it, I just asked where it was stored, why did you lose your temper so much?"

"Are you still reasonable?" Tang Ma stared.

Tang Han immediately jumped behind Jiang Dai, using her as a barrier.Tang Ma ignored her, took down an oil lamp from the wall, lit it and put it on the cabinet, then took out eggs from the basket, and shone them one by one against the lamp.

"What is this doing?" Jiang Dai asked curiously.

Tang Han said, "I'm picking eggs."

all week

As we all know, only fertilized eggs can develop and grow, and individual sperm or eggs do not have this function.The same is true for eggs, only fertilized eggs can hatch chicks.So in order to avoid waste, it is necessary to conduct a round of screening first.

Eggs are translucent under the light, and fertilized eggs will have a very obvious small black spot.

"The wisdom of the ancients." Jiang Dai praised.

People at that time certainly didn't know about fertilization or non-fertilization, but they were able to sum up these experiences and rules in their long-term chicken raising career.

Tang's mother picked twenty eggs and put them one by one in the hen's coop, and then went to fetch the hen. It seemed to understand its mission very well. When it saw so many eggs, it squatted obediently in the hen's coop. not moving.

"When will the chicks hatch?" Ozawa asked curiously while holding Tang Ma's hand.

Tang Ma said, "It will take about [-] days. Now that the weather is cold, it may take longer."

In fact, this season, the weather is too cold to hatch chicks.Originally, there was a certain chance of failure in hatching chicks, and due to the weather, the chance of failure would be even greater. It is estimated that only twelve or three eggs can be hatched out of twenty eggs.

However, Tang Ma still chose to incubate, mainly because this year's situation is not good. Seeing that the epidemic will not end for a while, she has to think more about it.

These chickens hatched and raised for a few months, whether they were eaten by themselves or sold, they would be able to live a little longer.

……

The next day is the Lantern Festival.

In the morning, the family went to the field to prepare sweet potato seedlings.

Each location near the village also has its own name, usually named according to its geographical location, shape, or ownership, such as Zhengbeipo, Niuya Valley, Lengshuitian, Huangjiashan and so on.The place where the land of the Tang family is located is called Huangnitian. As the name suggests, the land is full of yellow mud.Because it is close to the pond, although it is a dry land, the soil is very moist, which is very suitable for cultivating sweet potato seedlings.

A cultivation base is built artificially, spread with fermented livestock manure, covered with a thin layer of soil, and then select sweet potatoes with smooth seed coats, moderate size, and no pests and diseases, and discharge them on the base according to certain rules, and finally cover them with a thin layer of soil. Soil, covered with plastic wrap.

This layer of plastic film should be lifted to dry on sunny days, so that the sweet potatoes can get enough sunlight, and sealed tightly at other times to increase the temperature inside the base, so that the sweet potatoes can emerge quickly.

Sweet potatoes are more productive than potatoes and are an excellent choice for pig feed.Considering that the family's piglets might not be sold this year and they had to keep them for themselves, Tang's mother planted a lot of sweet potatoes at once to avoid the embarrassing situation of having nothing to feed in the future.

For this reason, some land that the Tang family had abandoned was also planned to be reopened.

No other species, focus on beans and sweet potatoes, it is still no problem.

However, these things have to be left for later arrangements.But right now, although there is still a lot of work in the field, since it is a holiday, there is no other work arranged in the afternoon.In the afternoon, Papa Tang killed a big rooster. When shedding its feathers, he deliberately plucked out a few long tail feathers, and made a chicken feather shuttlecock for Ozawa.

Ozawa was overjoyed, and dragged Tang Han and Jiang Dai to play with him all afternoon, exhausting them both.

"Sure enough, no matter how little angels look like children, they all have the side of little devils." Tang Han leaned back on the chair, feeling weakly.Back in the day, when we met for the first time, how obedient Ozawa looked... Sigh, time is like a knife, and a knife kills a cat!

Sitting next to her, Jiang Dai asked, "Do you know what is the most effective way to deal with children?"

"what?"

Jiang Dai smiled slightly, "Let him go to school."

Tang Han was startled, and the way he looked at Jiang Dai changed, "It's too ruthless! I underestimated you for being able to get along with such a ruthless trick."

"Then do you want to adopt this suggestion?" Jiang Dai asked back.

Tang Han gritted his teeth, "Of course!"

She recalled that the textbooks she had when she was a child, except for some that were bitten off by mice, were well preserved.But it doesn’t matter even if you don’t have a textbook. During the enlightenment period, what you learn is nothing more than those things. Chinese is the initial consonant and final consonant and Yamaguchi’s hands, and mathematics is four mixed operations and ninety-nine multiplication tables.

Ozawa is so energetic, let him learn a little casually.Children as old as him usually have already started kindergarten.In the current situation, it is estimated that there will be no play this year, but we can't waste time, and we can lay a little foundation.

As for whether Ozawa would be willing to learn?Tang Han wasn't worried at all.

Back then, when she was as old as Ozawa, Tang's mother lied to her that the family could only afford one child to go to school (looking back now, she may not have been lying to her), Tang Han immediately rolled around and resorted to all kinds of tricks. Wu Yi finally got a place to go to school.Because it was an opportunity she had earned through hard work, she cherished it very much, and she was quite talented, so her grades were good since she was a child.

There are many texts in elementary school, such as "Where do you want to flow the spring water? I want to flow into the creek", "The little rooster and the little duck are good friends", "One day, three swans caught fish in the lake" , she still remembers it now.

Ozawa will definitely like it too!

Thinking about it this way, Tang Han didn't even feel tired, and went to choose textbooks with great interest, planning to start the teaching mode tonight.

But this kind of thing, of course, can't go past the parents, so after finding the textbook, Tang Han pulled Qin Yu again, discussed it this way and that, and finally smiled with satisfaction.

Even giving Ozawa one of the only chicken legs for dinner, I don't feel distressed anymore!

As for the other chicken leg, after several modest remarks, it finally fell into Jiang Dai's bowl.

The author has something to say: Make up for yesterday's update.
