tall and rhubarb

After the poisonous snake incident, everyone in the village probably knew that the man Gao Chang brought back looked silent, but he was actually a stubborn stubble.

Regarding the matter of Rhubarb throwing the snake into Zheng Zongming's house, everyone has no objection. Anyway, everyone has seen it. Those who pull out their fangs can't die, and the family is really messy, so they should be taught a lesson.

In the past two years, because their village has moats and land, and Gao Chang is such an expert at catching snakes and hunting, compared with the people in other villages and towns, life is much better.But not every time you can see meat, everyone is still greedy, especially those who are half-sized, wild fruits and so on, because the village has grown them before, so they don’t have to worry about eating, there are many sour and sweet ones. There is no fish and meat.

In their whole village, Gao Chang eats meat most often in their yard, among which Gao Chang's family has the most. Others either catch a snake or two and come back, or just stare at the wild boar in the ditch. share.

The old man in the village said that the wild boars in the ditch cannot be killed. When the wild boars were first sowed, the density of wild boars was still very small. In the future, those sows will lay more piglets to increase the density. There are more animals, and only the wild boars in the ditch can deal with it.

The safety factor in their village is quite high now. In the early morning and dusk, the men in the family often take the whole family outside to let the wind go.Besides picking wild fruits, what everyone likes to do the most is to stand by the pig trench and observe the wild boars, to see which sows have a big belly again, which ones have entered estrus again, and which sows will give birth to piglets , that is definitely a great joy for the whole village.

For the sows and piglets that have just given birth, the villagers will take extra care. It is necessary to throw some good food where they are, but some piglets still die before they grow up.This is definitely a great pity for the village. Every time a piglet dies or a wild boar gets sick and dies, the whole village will feel depressed, for fear that there will be fewer and fewer wild boars dying.

If the villagers want to eat meat, the most direct hope is Zheng Zhanpeng's family's big fat pigs. Before the village was penned out, Zheng Zhanpeng surrounded the small area in front of his house to raise pigs. If there are too many, build a good relationship with the neighbors next door, surround their door, open a door in the wall between the two families, and enter and exit through the same door in the future, because every time a pig is slaughtered, more pork will be given. That family is quite happy.

Speaking of it, the rural people are not particular about it. If it is placed in the city, few people can bear it. In the same yard, there is a shed on it, and the air is not very circulated. People in the yard eat, drink and scatter inside. , and set up a pig shed, the smell is really unbearable.

Since the big trench around the village was dug, Zheng Zhanpeng's pigsty had also been moved, and Gao Chang's yard became much cleaner.The bigger the place, the more active the minds of everyone, but they are still eating from big pots after all, and the land of the village is also limited, so it is not practical for every household to build a pigsty.

Later, Zheng Guobang, Zheng Guohong, and several old people in the yard went to discuss with Zheng Zhanpeng, and the pigsty was classified as public property, and the people in their yard helped him raise it. No matter how much the number expanded in the future, every ten pigs Both ends are owned by Zheng Zhanpeng.

Zheng Zhanpeng was also happy with this transaction. After all, the land his family could occupy was limited, and they couldn't grow so much food to feed the pigs. Moreover, they were both farming and feeding the pigs, and they had to draw lots to work, which was quite tiring.Although the pigsty has been handed over now, he is relaxed, everyone helps him raise it, and he can still get a commission when it is over, which is similar to a landlord.

The people in the yard at the end of the stream followed suit, and soon built a pigsty outside. There were not enough piglets, so they passed a few from the yard in Au Li.The people who were in charge of their yard didn't have any complaints. After the trench was dug, their village was cut off from the danger outside. At the same time, people outside were also cut off.

For the people in this village now, in their concept, the people inside the village and the people outside are two completely different concepts.The people in the village are all their own people, no matter how bumpy they are, they are safe, but the people outside are unknown and dangerous, even the people in the neighboring villages and towns that they knew before must be careful. Worried that others will stare at their treasure land.

In such an environment, the people in this small village can be said to be unprecedentedly united, but unity does not mean absolute tolerance.Just like the big pot of rice in various yards, which is different from the nationwide movement of decades, their big pot of rice is small-scale and small-group in nature, and the number of people in a yard can be counted. Who dares to eat and be lazy? That would directly infringe upon the interests of other people in the village, and would definitely not be welcomed.

It's such a small village, and you can't get out. There is no TV or Internet. If you don't like it, life will be difficult.Because Zheng Zongming got into trouble, people in the village had a lot of opinions on their family, and their words were not so polite. His family is so old, and he can cause such trouble for the village just to eat some meat. Wei Na was bitten by a poisonous snake and almost lost his life. There are only so many people in their village, how many times can they survive?How many dolls in their yard, who is not gluttonous, if everyone is like him, everyone's life can't be better?

That family is also at fault, that boy Zheng Zongming hasn't really done any heavy work, his shoulders are swollen after carrying water for two days, his waist is sore and his back hurts, he can't help but play a little temper, the elders in the village speak bad words After talking all the way, he asked him to honestly pick up the water every day. Zheng Guolin and his wife were more conscious and began to work hard.

One of the couple works in the field and the other helps in the yard. The son fetches water every day, and no one in the family is free to eat. Speaking of which, the three of them are strong laborers.Because of this, in the past, if someone was lazy in their family, everyone would just turn a blind eye and close one eye. After all, it didn’t hold everyone back. trouble.

After Gao Chang rested for a few days, he began to tidy up the cellar. In the past, because he was worried about the lack of food and clothing, he also stocked up some food, rice and noodles in the first few months before the sun changed. Now he eats a big pot of rice every day. Occasionally, I open a small stove and mostly eat meat, so these things seem a bit redundant.

It has been stored for nearly three years, but the rice has not rotted and moldy, and the rice noodles are all packaged, so there is no problem.Although they didn't buy much at the beginning, they weren't too small. Gao Chang and his family would definitely not be able to eat all these things, and it would be a pity to lose them. In the end, they decided to share them.

Anyway, in the whole village, not many people have entered Gao Chang's house. Even if the food is taken out, the cellar will not leak. To be honest, now he feels that even if it leaks, it is not a big deal.With Gao Chang's absolute force value, even if ordinary people know that his house has hidden things, they would not dare to make any crooked ideas. That said, the safety factor is still very high.

When Gao Chang moved these things to the yard one by one, the small village suddenly became lively, mainly because the boxes of rice noodles were too tempting.

"Oh, Gao Chang, why do you have so many good things in your house?" There is no way, I am greedy.

"Heh, didn't there were people who wrote big characters in the town back then, and they all carried things home. No, as soon as their brains got hot, they bought such a large pile that they couldn't finish it."

Gao Chang threw the last two boxes of noodles on the pile of rice, and replied with a smile, basically, he is quite popular in this village, although sometimes he is a bit tough, but he is not the kind of person who will turn his face every now and then. Two hundred and five is also able to talk and joke, and it is quite generous. Everyone loves generous people, especially in this barren age.

"You bought a lot, how much does it cost?" The women were amazed, their eyes glued to those cardboard boxes, and they couldn't pull them out.

"You'd better stop talking about money, I'll be shocked when I say this." The old woman sighed.

"Yes, if you don't talk about this, you can make people suffer to death. Gao Chang, you still have the foresight. How could we really believe those rumors at the time? If we had believed earlier, we would have spent all the money. Now What a relief."

"Everything you say now is an afterthought. You don't have to think about it. Look at the pile of rice I bought. What is it for? If I knew it, I might as well buy toilet paper." Gao Chang laughed twice, and then turned to a person in the yard. There was a shout from the corner, and there were a few people over there who hadn't come to join in the fun: "He Yihua, come here for a while."

"What's the matter, Brother Gao?" After living in their village for a few days, He Yihua was still yellow and thin, but her spirits were much better.

"A box of rice noodles and a box of noodles, do you have to go?" He Yun and He Wenzhun were not in the yard, they were probably tending mulberry saplings on the ground, and Gao Chang called He Yihua over when he saw no one.

"No need, brother Gao, there are quite a lot of snake meat in the house."

A few days ago, Gao Chang asked them to help clean up the snake meat, saying that they would pay for the hard work. At first, they thought it would be good to give them three to five catties. Unexpectedly, Gao Chang gave them a small half sack casually. They wanted to refuse. But because of Zheng Zongwen's incident that night, Gao Chang was quite fierce, and they couldn't grasp his temper for a while, so they didn't dare to talk too much.

But the taste of the snake meat is really good. It’s good to live in this yard. There is a big pot of rice to eat every day, and there is no shortage of salt. Everyone treats them very well because they can raise silkworms and weave cloth, especially When Chen Yuzhen was cooking in the evening, she asked He Yun to take a piece of dried snake meat from home, and added some chili to help them fry it fragrant.

"Take it, don't be polite. The little girl is still growing. When you are hungry, you can order some noodles by yourself. It tastes good and grows well. When you grow up, it's still our village. It's a good deal." Gao Chang said Then he folded a box of noodles and a box of rice noodles and handed them to He Yihua.

"Tsk, it must be in our village, but I don't know which family is lucky." Nowadays, girls don't worry about getting married, and there are a lot of bachelors outside the village, depending on whether the family is willing to marry them off, No, it's good to have a wife. If you can really raise silkworms and weave cloth in the future, women will be hard workers.It is difficult for a boy to find a wife. The girl He Yihua is still young and looks average, but she can weave. She is definitely in demand.

"How is it, can you move it?" The girl's small arm was as thin as a twig, and Gao Chang was really worried that it would be broken if she was not careful.

"Hey, this little weight is nothing." He Yihua did not work less in the past, she looked thin, but she still had strength.

"Little girl is not bad, here is another box." If He Yihua was a delicate girl, Gao Chang would definitely not be so enthusiastic about her. In his aesthetic view, no matter if it is a man or a woman, it is necessary to have tenacity. This girl is pretty good.

Three boxes were piled up in front of her, and He Yihua's face was covered, so she had to walk a few steps sideways, put the boxes under the stairs, and carry them to her house one by one.

"Wei Chengying, come here." The monkey had been sitting on the small platform in front of his house watching for a long time, and finally finally waited until Gao Chang called his name.

"Here we come." Wei Chengying moved very quickly.

"A while ago, you helped us feed the cats, and I will pay you today. How about it, do you like noodles or rice noodles?"

"I like them all." Wei Chengying was not polite at all.

"That's fine, I'll give you half a box." Gao Chang grinned, Xiao Mian, don't think that I can give you a box just because you say you like everything.

"Oh." Wei Chengying was a little lost, just now seeing how generous Gao Chang was to He Yihua, she thought she could get a lot of it too.

But when Gao Chang opened the two boxes and saw the well-packed bags of noodles and rice noodles inside, his mood immediately improved again, and his eyes were fixed on the movements of Gao Chang's hands. Seeing that Gao Chang couldn't bear to disappoint him, he threw bag after bag into his box, and didn't stop until he got the tip. Wei Chengying was so beautiful that he couldn't see his teeth.

Because He Yun and He Yihua were brought back by themselves, and they are the main force of weaving in the future, it is appropriate for everyone to take special care of them.Wei Chengying fed Gao Chang's family's cat for a month, and it was worthwhile to pay some hard work. As for their cat, most people really couldn't feed it.

After sending out these two copies, Gao Chang asked Shangkan Baibao and the others to remove five boxes of noodles and five boxes of rice noodles. Now Baibao's subordinates have a good relationship with the villagers in the village, and they will come to visit when they are free. It is too easy to find someone from their yard in the village, especially when they have something to take, they run very fast.

The courtyard at Xiwei also had people take five boxes of noodles and five boxes of rice noodles. They were all from the same village.

The rest will belong to Gao Chang and his yard. Gao Chang will hand over to the public directly. If you want to eat or divide it, everyone can decide. It mainly depends on the opinions of Zheng Guobang and Zheng Guohong. At this time, the leader cannot be excluded Outside, you have to respect their opinions. Gao Chang doesn't want to be the head of the village, so he can't cover up their brilliance.

Zheng Guobang and the others listened to everyone's opinions and decided to share most of them and keep the rest. According to the head, no matter men, women, old or young, each will share a bag of noodles and a bag of rice noodles. The rest will be kept and cooked in a large pot eat.

As for the rice, it has been stored for almost three years, and it is considered to be old rice, but it is not too old, and it can be eaten if you want to eat it, but the taste is not good. Trouble, the yield per mu is not high, it is not as cost-effective as potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, and the planting is not too much.

So these rices are still useful. They are eaten every three to five times. There are hundreds of people in a yard, and they are consumed very quickly. If everyone really doesn't like them, they can be used to cook pig food.

After distributing these things, Gao Chang's reputation in the village suddenly improved a lot, and he didn't mind that they didn't have to draw lots to work.I used to have some opinions, but now I also feel that I am stingy, seeing how tall and generous they are, and the piles of things, if they say they are divided, they will be divided.

When I first bought these things, Gao Chang bought a lot of brand flavors mixed, and now it’s lively, this one says egg noodles, another one says buckwheat noodles, this one says coarse noodles, that one says fine noodles, see Seeing the villagers hustle and bustle like a festival, and nothing happened to him, Gao Chang turned around and went to the ground.

Rhubarb has recently become obsessed with farming, watering and fertilizing, the weeds in the field are pulled out so clean, almost every weed has been killed by him in the bud, Gao Chang wonders if this kid is a bit obsessive-compulsive.

In fact, there are no good things planted in the field, either sweet potatoes or potatoes, and a few tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc. There is no need to plant too many varieties. If you don’t have anything on your own land, you can go to other people’s land when you want to eat it. Let’s get some, it’s impossible for every household in the village to grow all the vegetables and grains, and just exchange what’s missing.Moreover, Gao Chang's family basically doesn't open a small stove. When they open a small stove, they basically eat meat and don't have much demand for vegetables.

Gao Chang's only dissatisfaction is that rhubarb pays more attention to these crops than he does. Every day after eating, he runs to the fields. He can look at every seedling for a long time, and he just needs to name them. Hope for the stars The moon hopes that the crops in the field will grow up quickly.This made Gao Chang feel a little worried. When these treasures in the field can finally be harvested one day, will this guy Rhubarb be willing to eat them.

Because Rhubarb doesn't like to deal with the people in the village, there is nothing else to do except eat and practice, and occasionally go hunting in the mountains. Gao Chang thinks it is good to let him farm, whether it is to pass the time or cultivate a hobby. .

But he never expected that Rhubarb would be so obsessed with the farming business without hesitation, and even to the point of obsession.Gao Chang squatted on the ridge of the field, looking at the rhubarb on the opposite side, and the rhubarb squatting in the ditch, looking at a few tender green leaves in the field, feeling that the germination of life is so wonderful, this little life in front of him first appeared two pieces Leaves, and day by day, more and more leaves, and then grow branches, and then bear fruit, when the fruit is ripe, how delicious it is.

If there is such a thing as mind power in the world, the tender green potato seedling in front of Dahuang's eyes would have been sliced ​​into countless thin skins by the tall eye knife, which is definitely the standard laboratory thickness. solution, and then covered with a cover slip, the cell structure can be observed under a microscope.

Gao Chang squatted until his legs were sore, yet Rhubarb hadn't looked up at him yet. Alas, he was defeated by a potato seedling in two lifetimes. Gao Chang felt that his life seemed a bit of a failure.But if he could see the vision in Rhubarb's mind now, and found that the green potato seedling finally produced big red tomatoes, he didn't know how he would feel.

In addition to Gao Chang, there is also Miaozai who are in a bad mood in their family recently, so I have to talk about Miaozai's mouse-catching career.Everyone should know that mice are very cunning animals. Many old people firmly believe that they can understand human speech. Miaozai has been fighting these mice for a long time. He has always regarded himself as the nemesis of mice. Almost all the mice in the village know him , there is no one who is not afraid of it, and the fear of mice towards it is not too much to describe it as frightened.

But recently, Miaozai’s career has finally encountered a bottleneck, but this is not because the village mouse Zou Ran has become more powerful. To be honest, mice are animals with great eyesight. They used to be so arrogant when they were in groups. Now that the number is small, it is natural to sneak around honestly.

Miaozai's professional skills are unquestionable. The reason why it has missed frequently recently is entirely due to its two roommates. Since Gao Chang moved Miaozai's nest to Sobo's room, the three of them have interacted more up.Both the prairie wolf and its cubs were very curious about Miaozai's mouse-hunting career, and the life in the village was very boring, so they naturally followed up and investigated Miaozai's mouse-hunting process.

Simba and Sobo are not good at dealing with mice, but with Simba's keen sense of smell, they can always find the location of Miaozi. This has serious consequences. Watching the cooked duck fly away again and again, Miaozi is very irritable , but considering that they were brought back by Gao Chang, it endured again and again.

However, after I don’t know how many times he was run away by the mouse, Miaozai’s not very good temper finally broke out: "Meow ow ow!" No matter how ignorant these two guys are, it will definitely use its sharp claws to kill them. Tear strips.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." The prairie wolf is not too happy, this village is a bit big, it has no meaning at all, and the earth leopard in front of him, it's stingy, just look at it hunting, it can be so angry, Tsk, it's just a few mice, what kind of good things should they be, let them see the large rabbits they keep in captivity one day, and don't scare them to death.

Sobo stared at Miaozai for a while, then turned his head and left, "We'll catch it ourselves." The cat was not very friendly, so he decided not to play with it.
