tall and rhubarb

The consequences of indulgence are a bit serious. In the evening of the second day, Gao Chang raised his sore waist and almost failed to get up from the bed. When he finally stepped on the empty steps to eat in the yard, everyone had already taken their places. What should I do?

Zheng Guohong saw Gao Chang coming out, so he sat at the edge of the dinner table and talked to him, which probably meant that Gao Chang would not have to draw lots with everyone in the future, and he would do whatever he wanted in the future, but everyone lived in the same room. In the village, if something happens in the village one day, Gao Chang, a capable person, will have to contribute a lot.

Gao Chang naturally agreed, at least they are old folks for decades, even though they had quarreled before, but in today's dangerous environment, no matter how bad a neighbor is, they are better than strangers.

Now there are so many people living in their yard lively and lively. Everyone eats and works together, and they are closer than before. Although there are some bumps in private, but if something really happens to the family, everyone There is no one who doesn't feel sad, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, every person in the village dies, one less.People outside, no matter how capable and loyal they look, they are still different after all. If they lost decades of friendship, would they be the same?

The yard was quite lively that night, except for those who were working on the ground and patrolling outside, most of the people were busy in the yard, building a house for He Yun and the others.The location is on the upper floor of Gaochang Building. The only difference in their entire yard is that there is a small piece of space above Gaochang’s house that has not been built on the second floor. Some space was used when building a house for Wei Changrui and his son. Now there is still some space. It is not a problem to take two rooms.

Suobo seemed a bit unaccustomed to such a lively atmosphere. He picked up the rice with his chopsticks and looked around with vigilant eyes. The rice was spilled all over the table in no time.This child is used to eating with bare hands, and now he is suddenly given a tool, which is difficult chopsticks, and grinned his teeth in anxiety. It would be good if he can pick up half of a bowl of rice, but the remaining half is extremely difficult .

The wolf was also in a hurry, and circled around Sobo, and almost grabbed the chopsticks to feed him. Unfortunately, none of its paws could match the chopsticks, so it could only stare aside and yell at Gao Chang from time to time. Expressing its dissatisfaction in a loud voice, it is full of the image of an old lady.

"Hey, I'll take you out to hunt rabbits some other day." Gao Chang comforted him with a good temper, but he ignored its opinions. It's not a big deal anyway. Usually children come here like this, and it will gradually get better in the future. Doting on children Growth is not good.

He Yun is quite good at being a person. She brought her two fellow villagers to help the children in the village make underwear. The silk they brought was not much, but not too much. They had to do other things. Things, that must not be enough, it is just right to make underwear, a small vest and a pair of shorts, it saves trouble and cloth.

The people in the mountains are simple and enthusiastic. When He Yun talked a little bit, someone carried the sewing machine out of the house. A large group of women sat around the yard, talking while working, and taking advantage of small things. What an atmosphere.

"Hey, you said this silk is good, it's soft and slippery to the touch. I've heard of it before, but I haven't seen the real thing, and I wear fake ones. This time my kid is lucky."

"This cloth is really good. I made underwear for those wild boys and girls. What a waste of things!"

"Tsk tsk, just this fabric, if it can be made into a gown shirt or something, it will look good on it."

"What's the matter with looking good? Let me tell you, the underwear is the most important thing. We still point to them to carry on the family line. The descendants have to take good care of them first."

"Hehehe, you are right."

"Isn't that right, that kid in my family used a piece of old fabric to make two pairs of underpants for him a while ago. After wearing them for a few days, the buttocks were all stained black."

"Don't talk about those kids, it's just my family. A pair of underwear is mended again and again. These two days, I always talk about it in front of me, saying that it is too mended to shave the buttocks."

"Not to mention, yesterday we saw Zheng Chunhua standing on the top of the field scratching his butt. My family asked him, what happened to Chunhua, did he have fleas on his body? Guess what he said, it wasn't fleas that bit him, it was his pants. To bite."

"Hahahahaha, how can you mend clothes with that live treasure? It's almost as big as a mosquito when you tie a knot. Can you avoid being bitten?"

The women laughed for a while, and He Yun also laughed, and then she said, I will make all the children's shares later, if there is more fabric, I will make some for the adults, anyway, it is useless to keep the fabric , when there will be more silkworms in the village in the future, everyone will set up looms to weave cloth, so there is no need to worry about running out of cloth.

The women were naturally happy when they heard it, but they all said that the adults should wait first. There is still a yard in the village. After a while, I will send some to the children over there. Those people may be so happy Woolen cloth.

Gao Chang listened to those women talking for a while, and saw those men building houses in a hurry, all of them were full of energy, and they probably all looked forward to wearing silk cloth sooner.The old people say that three years old, three years old, sewing and repairing for three years, the outer clothes are fine, the old ones are old, and no one makes comparisons these days, but the inner ones are no good, not to mention suffering, from time to time It doesn't look good to grab twice or something, and if you are not careful, you will be made a joke by those girls, and you can't keep your face.

Seeing that Suobo had almost eaten, Gao Chang led his family out of the yard. Now the gate in front of their yard is open, and everyone usually walks through the front door. After leaving the front door, you will find the newly circled land in the village. , because the surrounding area was separated by trenches, and the ground was considered safe, so the ladders were not collected so diligently. Usually, they were not collected until everyone came back, and then put down again in the evening.

The back door is different. Put the ladder when you need it, and put it away immediately after use.Because there is a bamboo forest over there. When everyone surrounded the village, they didn't surround the bamboo forest.The people in Gao Chang's yard went to the back reservoir to fetch water every evening before dark. Like this evening, many people were dispatched to the back to chop bamboo.

Gao Chang took some of his family out by the ladder from the front door, because the ditch beside their yard was connected to the big ditch of the village, so there were also a few wild boars humming below, grinding their backs on the stone wall and so on. , the thick pigskin rattles against the wall, and the more lively ones like to chase and fight. They look healthy, but they are too big, and just listening to the movement is a bit scary.

This family is in good physical condition, and there is no one who is afraid of heights. All of them are very dexterous and they all passed the ladder. When they reached the ground, Miao Zai also rushed out from nowhere, followed by a man named Wei Cheng. British boy.

"What's his name?" Wei Chengying carefully walked around the wolf, came to Gao Chang's side, and asked, pointing at Suobo.

"Ask him yourself." Gao Chang is not in a particularly good spirit today, and he is not in the mood to play with children.

Wei Chengying wanted to go over to say hello to Suobo, but the wolf beside him looked too fierce, so he had to ask from a distance, "Hey, what's your name?"

Suobo looked at Gao Chang, saw that he didn't make a statement, and didn't know what to do for a while, but he obviously didn't like the boy who was older than him in front of him. Just as Simba yelled yesterday, he kicked Climb the pillar to the beam.In Suobo's cognition, the strong are worthy of respect and fear, and the weak should not be taken seriously. As for friendship, he hasn't learned it yet.

"Hey, can you bask in the sun?" Wei Chengying looked left and right furtively, then lowered his voice and asked again.

"What are you doing blindly? Why are you basking in the sun, can you?" Gao Chang bluntly gave him a pat on the back of the head. This kind of half-sized guy is the most annoying. He can get into any trouble, but he thinks he knows everything. At the age of eight, the group of wild boys in the village have been frightened a lot in the past two years, but it has subsided. Just this guy, relying on his own ability to bask in the sun, is quite courageous, and Gao Chang looked at it for his father worry.

"I'm just asking." Wei Chengying laughed twice, brat, pretending that no one else knows.

"What nonsense, have you written all the words your father asked you to write? Be careful and get beaten again."

"I wrote it, why didn't I write it. Uncle Gao Chang, did the rhubarb really get lost?" The people in the village didn't pay much attention to the loss of the rhubarb. Wei Chengying was different. He heard what the rhubarb had said. Know that's no ordinary dog.

"Yeah." Speaking of rhubarb, Gao Chang felt troubled, so he said to Wei Chengying, "Your dad has been there to see you several times."

"Really?" The boy shrank his neck, glanced back secretly, then greeted Gao Chang, and went to his father.

Gao Chang and the others wandered to the place where the ladder was erected at the entrance of the village. Two villagers were guarding there. Seeing Gao Chang passing by, they thought he was going out, so they quickly helped him put the ladder. , and also brought a few weavers to their village, which is really a great contribution, so everyone is very enthusiastic when they see him recently.

But Gao Chang didn’t go out by himself today, it’s not that he didn’t want to, the house was empty without even a piece of meat, logically speaking he should go up the mountain to replenish some stocks, but he can’t today, his legs are limp, maybe even one The top of the mountain may not be overturned, so what kind of hunting is there.

After the ladder was lowered, Gao Chang asked the wolf to go out and find something to fill his stomach: "There are a lot of poisonous snakes on our mountain, so you can find something to eat at the foot of the mountain. If it doesn't work, I will help you go out and get something back tomorrow." .”

"Bah." The wolf grinned disapprovingly, flashed its sharp teeth, and walked over the ladder in a proud manner.

"Hey, there are times when you suffer." Gao Chang didn't bother to understand this frog in a well.

"Meow!" Miaozai also wants to go out. Now that the mice in the village are being caught less and less, it wants to expand its hunting range.

"Okay, let's all go, remember to come back alive." If they are not allowed to go out to see and see, these guys will not be able to adjust their positions, and they will use the deep mountains and old forests outside as a children's playground.

Gao Chang took Suobo and Rhubarb to sit on the rocks at the top of his field to blow the wind. Although the wind in winter is cooler, a few blows can also have a refreshing effect. Gao Chang blew for about 10 minutes, and then suddenly became energetic up.

"Rhubarb, now that you have transformed, you have to live like a human being." He said earnestly to Rhubarb next to him.

"I know." Rhubarb grinned, he felt that being a person is really good, especially, often being able to be with Gao Chang like last night...

"If a person wants to survive in this society, he has to be a bit professional. You know the profession. For example, like Wei Chengying's father, he is a doctor. You see, he is an outsider, and he is quite respected in our village. Well, that’s because he has a profession. And He Yun and the others, they just came to the village, everyone is so enthusiastic, they build houses and deliver daily necessities, just because they can weave.” Gao Chang stated the facts Speak the truth and explain the importance of professionalism.

"Is there any other profession?" Da Huang felt that the two professions of doctor and weaver girl seemed not suitable for him.

"Yes, like Uncle Cui in our village, he is a carpenter. I heard that he has learned the craft from his master for more than ten years. At the beginning, he had no salary and couldn't fill his stomach. That's fine." Gao Chang spared no effort to help Da Huang figure out the fact that it is not easy for the whole profession.

"But ten years is too long." Rhubarb said distressedly.

"Learning something is not something that can be mastered overnight. You see, there are people in our village who specialize in delivering babies, and there are people who make wine and vinegar in the town. I heard that there is a person who can make soy sauce recently. It's easy for you to think of them. Is it? If nothing else, let’s take Chen Yuzhen in our yard as an example. She cooks, but to make it delicious, it has to be a decades-old craft..." Gao Chang talked endlessly, He gave Rhubarb an example of all walks of life, which made him dizzy.

"Then what is your major?" Good guy, I finally grasped the point.

"I don't know anything, I only know how to farm." Gao Chang said ashamedly.

"Then I'll farm with you!" Da Huang made a decision immediately. He always stays with Gao Chang and rarely sees him working in the fields. This major is probably relatively easy to master.

"Don't." Gao Chang shook his head: "Farming the land is too easy, everyone in the village knows it."

"Learn to farm." Everyone knows what he can't, so what can I do?

"Farming is too hard, let me do it." Gao Chang still refused.

"I'll do it." Rhubarb jumped up from the rock with a whoosh, then ran to the nearby field to find a hoe, and started digging with the hoe.

"Before digging, you need to pick up the stones." Gao Chang didn't stop him this time, but stood aside as a supervisor with peace of mind.

This land was re-divided by the people in the village. After the village was surrounded, the people in the two courtyards marked out their own public land, and then the remaining marginal land was distributed to each household. Everyone planted it if they had nothing to do. Come on, start a small stove or save some food or something.But now the big pot of rice is enough for them to eat, so some people are too lazy to plant. For example, Zheng Chunhua's land is next to Gao Chang's. Let the rhubarb practice more.

Rhubarb groaned and turned over the ground, and people passing by couldn't help shaking their heads. Although farming is hard work, it can't just rely on brute force. You have to shake the hoe to save effort. Just get tired and get down first.

The negation of others strengthened Rhubarb's determination to learn the profession of farming well, so he spent three hours finally digging out their small piece of land.

"How's the land going?" Da Huang asked Gao Chang.

"For beginners, it's pretty good." Facing the land in front of him like a pig's arch, Gao Chang said something against his will without changing his face. This is just the beginning, and it can't dampen his enthusiasm.

"Hey, what shall we grow?" Rhubarb asked.

"Woo, we can grow whatever you want to eat." Gao Chang said generously.

"I want to eat meat."

"Well...then let's grow some meat."

"Who are you kidding, can you grow meat?"

"..."

The young couple here are flirting, and there is a lot of noise at the entrance of the village, and there is a quarrel.

"Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!" Miaozai has always looked like an old man in the village, but now he screams like a wild boy who is being beaten with a stick, which shows his current miserable state.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." The wolf also barked very desolately, losing all his kingly demeanor.

When Gao Chang and Da Huang heard this, they hurried over there, and Suobo followed behind on his short legs. Just now, he stretched out his ears to listen to Gao Chang and the others talking about growing meat, but he hadn't heard the result yet. , I heard Simba screaming, and quickly ran over with Gao Chang and the others.

Gao Chang opened the search function while running, his grandma's, it's okay if you don't look at it, but when you see it, you are startled, these two people are not in tune, and they recruited all the snake nests to their village.

Seeing that the cats are about to run to the entrance of the village, it must be too late to put the ladder down slowly. Without thinking about it, Gao Chang cut the two ropes tied to the ladder with one knife, and then tied the ladder legs on this side The ropes were also cut.As soon as the ladder fell to the ground, Miaozai and Simba rushed over, followed closely by a group of half-length cobras, tall and quick-eyed, and as soon as they landed, they immediately kicked the ladder into the ditch.

The two villagers guarding the entrance of the village were dumbfounded. On the other side of the ditch, it was raining, and black shadows, large and small, fell into the ditch. I also know what those are.

The wild boars in the ditch were screaming. I don’t know whether they were excited by the food or they were frightened by the rain of snakes. Generally, wild boars are not afraid of poisonous snakes, but these snakes are numerous and very brave. Chang worried that which wild boar would not be able to withstand the heroic sacrifice.

Look at the wolf and the cat again, how arrogant they were just now.These two guys, one is used to being a wolf king in the wasteland, and the other is walking sideways in the village. It is probably not easy to worry about going up the mountain. No matter what is fierce, it will annoy the snakes in the end. Out of the snake sea tactics.

Gao Chang unceremoniously slapped each of them on the forehead: "How about it, is it fun to go on the mountain? From now on, just stay honestly in the village."

The snakes couldn't pass the ditch, so they just wandered outside. They didn't plan to leave for a while, but it happened that several brothers under Bai Bao and his men were also in their village, so they sent out signal flares to let the people of Shangkanna village And the people in Zhenshan don't come out for two days, there are poisonous snakes everywhere, it's not a joke.

Within half an hour, news spread that Gao Chang's family's wolves and cats had provoked the snakes around their village. In [-], he caught a lot of mice in the village, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Not being able to walk outside the village, apart from bringing some inconvenience to Bai Bao and the others, did not have much impact on the lives of the villagers in their village. Anyway, everyone would not wander outside if they had nothing to do.

After breakfast, Gao Chang moved the big bamboo basket that Miao Zai slept in to Sobo's room. This basket was specially made by Gao Chang to compensate Miao Zai for not being able to sleep in the same bed with them. , bigger and more elegant, and I didn’t think it was a big deal to put it in the room before, but this time when the rhubarb changed its shape and came back, the two of them felt a little inconvenient when they were married, so they took this opportunity to give it Miaozai moved house.

Miaozai followed behind Gao Chang, watching helplessly as Gao Chang carried out his precious bamboo basket from his room, and put it back in the wolf's room. He muttered under his neck for a long time, but he didn't dare to express any objection. The main reason is that today it is really at a loss and loses face, so it chooses to swallow its anger and reduce its sense of existence.

Not to mention that wolf, the wolf king has lost all face, what else can he do, quietly followed Suobo, without saying a word, most of the time he was crossing his body and pretending to close his eyes to rest, for himself The room was placed in an unreasonable arrangement of an unexpected guest, and no protest was made.

When Gao Chang came out of Suobo's room, the corners of his mouth were almost grinning behind his ears. Sure enough, facing these unruly prickly heads, he had to make some serious preparations. Anyway, no matter how fierce the snakes on the mountain are, they can't escape these two Legs, anyway, can't die.

When I went back to my room, I saw that Rhubarb, who had eaten and showered, had already fallen asleep on the bed. It was probably because the land was turned over, and the physical exertion was a bit heavy.Gao Chang was in a very good mood, looking at the man sleeping on his back on the bed, he felt very kind-hearted and pleasing to the eye, so he leaned down and gave a big kiss, and then sat cross-legged with satisfaction, believing that he would be able to make up for it with hard work. clumsy.
