Chapter 257: Agricultural Interest
After they finished eating the noodles, they waited for a while, and Jiang Han arrived.
Then Zhang Hao and Kang Xueer also came to the store, and the two held hands, which made people envious.
Let's go.
Brother Nan drove her father's car, carrying three classmates, and Zhou left his car, carrying Huaixu, to her hometown.
"Will you be nervous when you see Brother Nan's grandparents?" asked Huai Xu in the car.
"I don't know. Zhou Li replied.
"Will Brother Nan's other siblings also come back?" Huai Xu asked again, "You should always know this, right?"
"I don't know. β
"Why don't you know anything?"
"I just don't know. β
"Can we go crayfish fishing this afternoon?"
"I don't know. β
"Do you know you're actually a fool?"
β......β
After getting off the county road, you have to take a narrow and winding country road.
Fortunately, his current driving skills have improved.
"Look, on the side of the road. β
Huai Xu pointed out the window and said that some villagers were bent over to work in the fields: "Some people are planting seedlings, and there are ...... Whatever, you say, will Brother Nan call us back to plant crops?"
"I don't know. β
It was almost noon when I arrived.
There is a small street in Nange Village, and her family lives at the end of the street, next to the road, so it is convenient to buy vegetables.
Rural life is boring, a few neighbor old ladies sat at the door chatting, when the two cars parked in front of Li's house one after another, they immediately looked over, and talked about it - for the left-behind old people who have nothing to do at home all day long, whose descendants have come back is always a thing worth paying attention to and envy.
When they saw Brother Nan getting out of the car with a few people, their expressions were a little weird, and they whispered while laughing.
Zhou Li frowned, and then quietly pricked up his ears-
"Li Baoguo's granddaughter is capable, look, I brought some classmates back!"
Every year, she brings some of her classmates back, either planting crops or threshing grain and moving buds!"
β......β
Zhou Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't a bad thing to say...... Wait a minute!
Well?
At this time, Brother Nan had already led people into the house, and the houses in the countryside were basically not closed, she said to Zhou Li and Huaixu: "You two have not been here, they have all been here, just feel free, I will take you out for a walk in the afternoon." β
Zhou Li and Huai Xu glanced at each other and nodded.
The smell of rice came from the back room.
A sturdy old lady walked out, and when she saw everyone, she smiled, and wrinkles piled up: "It's here!"
"It's here. Brother Nan smiled and hurriedly introduced, "These are my classmates, come to play for a few days! This is Jiang Han, you know, this is Zhang Hao and Kang Xue'er, they have also been here, do you remember?"
"Remember, I've been here a few times......"
"Hello grandma. β
"Okay, good, you guys......"
"These two, this one is called Zhou Li, they are my high school classmates and college classmates. This is called Huaixu, and he is also my college classmate. β
"Surname Zhou?" Grandma seemed to have heard something, and she tilted her ears to hear Brother Nan's confirmation.
"That's right. Brother Nan replied affirmatively.
"Hello grandma. Zhou Li shouted.
"It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good, tell grandma what you want to eat. Grandma looked at Zhou Li carefully.
"Good. β
"It's a handsome young man, you have to get it!" Grandma nodded affirmatively.
Zhang Hao, Kang Xue'er, and Jiang Han couldn't help laughing on the side, Huai Xu also laughed, and squeezed his eyebrows at Zhou Li. Even Brother Nan laughed, only Zhou Li stood in place and didn't know what to say for a while. He was embarrassed, but he didn't show it.
Brother Nan's grandfather stir-fries in the kitchen.
Brother Nan also took them in to recognize and say hello.
The lunch meal was very real, and the old couple also specially bought cold dishes, and their eyes made Zhou Li very uncomfortable during the meal.
After the meal, Brother Nan took a few people to play on the back mountain - she is a particular person, after all, they are at least nominally here to play, so they will not let them work as soon as they come.
The fields are filled with water.
The land has been planed.
Some people are working in the fields, and some Nan brothers still know each other, and they greet each other from afar in the mountains.
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, but it is a good pastoral scenery.
"Are your other siblings back?" Zhou Li asked.
"My brother will come back on May Day, not necessarily the rest, they are afraid to come back and ask them to work. Brother Nan walked ahead, she broke a piece of grass that she didn't know what kind of grass and danced wildly, "I'll take you to experience farming tomorrow." β
"Farming ......"
Zhou Li thought it was funny, you would have chosen a name.
"Do you still have some peanuts, some buds and rice planting?" Zhang Hao is already very skilled.
"That's right. β
After Brother Nan finished speaking, he explained to Zhou Li and Huaixu: "Don't worry, it's just a little bit, I don't believe you ask them." β
"That's right. Several people nodded and said.
"And we don't have to do all this fertilization, it's done all at once, it's fun, and it's exercise. We'll spend a few days fishing for crayfish, and I can also take you to the river to move the crabs, although there is no meat, but it's quite fragrant to eat. I've taken a few of them before. β
"Good. β
"We can't help it. Brother Nan was a little helpless, "I have long told them not to plant, not to plant, but to plant." Fortunately, now they only planted enough for their old two to eat, half a piece of peanuts, a few rows of bud grain, and a field of millet, which was only enough before. It took a lot of effort to convince them. β
"That's right. β
After a round and turn, they returned home, and it wasn't long before dinner began again.
Brother Nan was really considerate of Zhou Li, she even deliberately took Zhou Li to the kitchen and pulled him to light the fire together.
At night.
The night in the village was dark, with intermittent dog barking.
Brother Nan's house is very large, and it has only been renovated in the past two years, because the family is huge, and they will come back during the New Year's holidays, so there are many rooms upstairs, which are decorated like hotel standard rooms or triple rooms.
"Smack. β
Brother Nan turned on the light in a room, there were three beds side by side, and she said: "This is where the girls live, the girls' dormitory, the three of us will live here tonight, and we can play cards and set up the dragon gate formation at night." β
She walked to the other side, still three beds: "This is the men's dormitory, and the quilts are all freshly washed and replaced." β
"I ordered mosquito coils in the evening, oh, they were all ordered. β
"Got it......"
Zhou Li lay on the bed.
The three beds are side by side, and sure enough, they are the same as the triple room in the hotel, except that the bed frame is too old and the quilt is not white.
By the way, there is no lone guard.
Zhou Li slept in the middle, and Zhang Hao and Huai Xu slept on both sides.
Zhang Hao reflexively asked him: "Do you want to beat the king?"
"Don't fight. β
"I'm going to fight. β
"Forget it. Zhang Hao shook his head again, "Let's chat, I haven't seen each other for more than half a year...... How did you and Brother Nan get along?"
"I confessed to her. Zhou Li replied briefly.
"When. β
"Chinese New Year. β
"How do you get emotional, I'm curious. Zhang Hao is very interested in the gossip of his eldest brother.
"I don't know. β
β......β
Chatting and chatting, they talked about tomorrow's 'farming fun'.
According to Zhang Hao, all they have to do is dig the soil, sow seeds, or plant seedlings, and then cover the soil back, which is very simple. It's just that digging still requires a certain amount of skill, and he has now mastered this skill.
"It was the first year of high school, and I remember that Brother Nan asked a group of us to go to her hometown for May Day, which made us very excited. Zhang Hao lit a cigarette and began to narrate, "We are all from the city, and we have never played in the countryside......"
Zhou Li listened, but didn't believe it all.
He felt that Zhang Hao and the others were excited not only because they could fish for crayfish in the countryside, but also because they were appreciated by their eldest brother.
At that time, it was already the second semester of the first year of high school, and Brother Nan had already convinced the senior year of high school and established the status of the school bully, they should think that they could follow the majesty of the eldest brother from now on and no longer be bullied.
And that's exactly what happened.
It's a little tortuous, so don't worry too much.
In short, Zhang Hao successfully learned to dig the soil, and the pampered Kang Xueer also practiced a good skill of rice planting. Zhang Hao also said that the farm work in the first half of the year is very easy, and in the second half of the year, at the end of the summer vacation or at the beginning of the school year, threshing the grain and moving the grain, which is a serious physical work.
Huai Xu could hear Ku Kuku's laughter next to him.
Zhou Li was silent.
He's thinkingβ
What kind of fairy girlfriend did you find?
