In the end, they went to the river to see the hippos, and at the same time, Yang Shubao showed Nicole, a very effective insect repellent plant, Trume.

Nicole laughed at his introduction: "What Trum? It's pitcher plants!"

Uncle Yang said suspiciously: "You can't fool me if I read a lot, although pitcher plants are commonly found in the tropics and subtropics, they rely on insect traps to catch mosquitoes and flies, rather than relying on smell to repel mosquitoes." You see, this plant has an insect trap? It has only one kind of fruit, and it smells bad. ”

Nicole explains, "It's really a pitcher plant, but it's not the pitcher plant you're familiar with. The fruit you see is actually a trap, they have two stages in life, when they are in the growth stage, the cage is empty to catch insects, and when they enter the ripening stage, they become this kind of fruit. ”

Yang Shubao was shocked: "It's so amazing? I didn't even know there was such a plant." ”

Nicole shook her slender and slender calves proudly, her pink high heels were stirred back and forth by her toes, and Lao Yang's heart rippled with her.

Ma Tsai was very angry, originally he just peeped in the river with his two little eyes exposed, and after peeping for a long time, he didn't see him come to tease him, so he ran out of the water and hit him with his head.

Let the hippopotamus collide, and Lao Yang's face turned pale.

Hippos grow faster than lions!

The horse boy is like a pig now!

Nicole smiled when she saw the little tail root that was still spinning rapidly, "Why does this hippopotamus have such a short tail?" The last time I saw it, I wondered if the hippopotamus should have a tail." ”

Yang Shubao told her the cause and effect while picking the thorny gourd, Nicole suddenly felt pity, and after she got the thorny gourd, she handed it to Ma Tsai and said, "Oh, give it to you." ”

Ma Zai glanced at her contemptuously and left.

Nicole was at a loss: "What do you mean?"

Yang Shubao also looked dazed, in fact, this is the result of his education, as long as any animal comes close to the spiny horn melon, it will be beaten, and Ma Tsai thinks that Nicole wants to fish to enforce the law.

The two sat in the shade of the acacia tree by the river, and Nicole took off her shoes and lowered her feet into the river.

The warm river water bubbles and washes comfortably on one's skin.

Yang Shubao pulled the big forest antelope over, and he asked the big forest antelope to lie down by the river, so that the two of them could lean on it.

The lioness looked up at it with a look at it, and she lowered her head to show off the two iron spear-like horns, and the lioness closed her eyes again.

Pretend not to see it.

The couple parrots flew after Yang Shubao, and they landed on his shoulders very familiarly, combing each other's feathers, and abusing the dog very sweetly.

Nicole sucked the juice of the melon and said, "No wonder you like to be in the wilderness so much, it's really great here, it's quiet but not lonely, it's simple but not shabby." ”

Yang Shubao smiled, "If you like, you can come at any time, this is also your reserve." ”

A gust of wind blew, hot but not dry, the tall weeds swayed in unison, and the river rippled.

The lover parrot suddenly closed its mouth, leaving only the sound of running water.

The first time Nicole had lunch in the reserve, Yang Shubao decided to show his hand.

The two of them wore straw hats and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and Yang Shubao pointed to a snake fruit tree that had just been transplanted and said, "Be careful, don't go near there, there is a poisonous snake on it." ”

The bulging-bellied viper was left alone on it, having just eaten a mouse, and the center of its belly was bulging so high as if it were pregnant.

This snake looks hideous, but in fact it is really not aggressive, and will only fight back when stepped on, so it's okay not to touch it.

In addition, at this time, the bulging-bellied viper had just eaten and was too lazy to move, so Nicole had the courage to go under the tree to watch it up close, but it did not react.

Yang Shubao picked a few peppers, the cucumbers were ripe, he picked twenty-five in one bite, and then there were eggplants, tomatoes, these things, the potato seedlings grew up, he dug one and looked at it, and the potatoes below grew up, like a bunch of eggs, not big but edible.

After picking vegetables, he performed another Ganlin technique, and the Fountain of Life could increase the growth rate of plants.

The weather was hot and he had no appetite, so Yang Shubao only made two meat dishes, one was braised with salted meat with an ant's nest umbrella, and the other was stewed with dried mushrooms and small guinea fowl.

In addition, it is a cold dish, cucumbers and tomatoes are suitable for cold dishes, and he also mixes a salad with banana flower bones, which is very flavorful and African.

When it was time to eat, Lao Yang went to find a fork and knife, and he explained: "I don't usually use it much, so I cleaned it up, and I used chopsticks." ”

Nicole laughed and said, "I also use chopsticks, I will use them." ”

This made Yang Shubao quite surprised: "You can use chopsticks?"

Nicole tilted her head and said, "After we fell in love, I didn't wait for you to send love letters every day, but also learned about your culture and customs." I learned about calligraphy, Chinese painting and your diet, and then I learned how to use chopsticks, which is very simple, much simpler than the posture of holding the brush, and the posture of holding the brush is really difficult. ”

Yang Shubao couldn't help but touch her hair, and said with a smile: "You can learn to use chopsticks, you don't need to learn to hold a brush, because I don't know how to do it." ”

Nicole sighed sadly: "You should have said earlier, I finally learned how to hold a brush with a branch, and I also bought a brush from Amazon to practice calligraphy." ”

Lunch was very slow, the two chatted while eating, Lao Yang talked about Northeast cuisine, the snow in his hometown, and his parents, and Nicole introduced him to the customs of South Africa and the experience she had accumulated from many transfers when she was a teenager.

At the end, Nicole also mentioned her parents: "They are journalists, and they don't leave a deep impression on me, they have been gone for 14 years, and the only thing that impresses me is the words that my mother said when she pushed me out of the car, 'Be good in the future', and then my dad drove into the car that blocked us, so I've been obedient until now." ”

Yang Shubao held her hand and said, "Why did they leave you?"

Nicole smiled helplessly and said: "A social report, my grandfather didn't let me know, he took me to the countryside, and after I finished college, he took me back to the countryside, and the city left a very bad shadow on him." ”

Yang Shubao sighed and said, "The city has also left a very bad shadow on me. ”

"What's wrong?"

"The house prices are too high and I can't afford to buy a house. ”

The topic was a little heavy, and Lao Yang then stood up to pack up his things and said, "Let's go to the shade of the tree to rest for a while, and then I'll send you back." ”

Nicole proposed, "I see clouds in the sky, and they should float over to cover the sun later, so let's go to the fast food restaurant and move the rockery over and make a new home for the armadillo." ”

Yang Shubao looked out and nodded: "It's okay, but moving stones is a lot of hard work, can you do it?"

Nicole clenched her fists and said, "Don't underestimate me, how do you think our flower shop was built?"

"You built it brick by brick?" Yang Shubao was stunned, this is even more fierce than himself.

Nicole smiled slightly: "No, it was built by workers, but the renovation work is all in charge of me and my grandfather, so it's also hard work, right?"

Yang Shubao gave a thumbs up: "Awesome." ”
