Six thousand shiny chicks, jumping up and down in the sunlight, are extremely lively.

Although they are still chickens, it can already be seen that these chicks are very well fed, and they look extraordinary.

It was the first time Al had seen this sight, and he was stunned.

Edward whispered to Al, "Actually, I want to represent this breed of chicken, but I think it's going to be a long time coming." ”

After Zhou Heng scanned and checked the condition of the chicken, he said to him: "Edward, you don't have to be too discouraged, our second-generation chickens have come out, are you interested in taking a look?"

Now that the chicks have all hatched, where there is sun, the hens are walking with them.

The incubator will have to wait for a while, and I don't know if I can catch the hen with the cubs.

But think about it, hundreds of chickens looking for it don't seem realistic.

After checking the condition of the chickens, after going down the mountain, you can play around in a serious way. Al is here for the first time, and it is very appropriate to take him around to relax and move, so that he can see our Chinese rural culture.

I just went down the mountain, and I was walking with two foreigners when I met Lao Liu in the village.

Lao Liu was carrying a hoe and was about to work in the field, and he was also in his sixties.

Zhou Heng greeted the people: "Uncle Liu, you went to the field so early, the dew on the grass didn't dry." ”

Clothes and pants had to get wet.

"Ahaha, out of the way, out of the way. Lao Liu replied with a smile, then remembered it, and said to Zhou Heng: "Xiao Heng, if you are fine, go to my house to hunt chestnuts." The chestnuts are ripe and ready to eat. ”

Zhou Heng politely said: "How embarrassing is this?"

This year, I ate several watermelons from his house, and every time I picked them and sent them home, I was really embarrassed.

"It's okay, you're still polite to me! When you have time in a while, you can just go and fight." If you don't have time, I'll call your house. Lao Liu said, already far away.

This year, two college students lived in his house for a month, and if food and strength were not counted, this year it would be equivalent to an extra charge of nearly 7,000 yuan.

This is an extra wealth, so he doesn't know how many times he has thanked Zhou Heng's family.

There are a lot of big and sweet watermelons, and every time they say that the price is not good anyway, it is better to eat it for your own family.

Lao Liu's family planted a few chestnut trees in the open space in the backyard, and some were harvested every year, which would be sold in the town.

However, this thing, as soon as the harvest season arrives, a large number of goods will pour into the market, and the price will not rise, and it will take effort to drag it to the town, which is not very cost-effective.

But the tree has already been planted, and every year it is like this, eating a little by yourself, and the people in the village sharing a little, and selling as much as you can.

Lao Liu saw Zhou Heng now, so he said this, otherwise, he would really have to fight and send it over.

Zhou Heng thought, let's go by yourself and get some to eat. The raw one is delicious, the cooked one is also very good, and the chicken soup and duck soup are very fragrant.

As he spoke, he went back to prepare his things, which was only a matter of time anyway.

Edward and Al followed with great interest, anyway, it was to watch the rabbits, and they looked around and played more in their spare time.

This kind of rural scenery, Al is the first time to see, and everything is new. Edward had only seen it for the second time, and he liked to look around.

Zhou Heng took a basket with tongs in it, and then went out with a long bamboo pole.

Jiang Xiaoxuan followed with the camera, and the big yellow dog naturally followed.

A group of people is really immense.

The chestnut tree of Lao Liu's family grows very tall, and this year's harvest is still very good.

It's a pity that no matter how good the harvest is, the price is not good. Don't look at the night market, freshly fried chestnuts can be sold for twenty or thirty-one catties, even if they are bought raw in the supermarket, they also cost ten yuan a catty, but from here, there is not much money.

The big chestnut of this tree!

Zhou Heng put the basket down, then chose a high ground, and prepared to start fighting.

Before starting, he asked Jiang Xiaoxuan to stand behind him and not run blindly. Then he called out to the big yellow dog to come over, and the tree was not the place for him to stay.

As soon as the bamboo pole was raised, Al was seen walking under the tree, ready to help him pick it up.

"Don't stand there, it's dangerous! Zhou Heng braked sharply and stopped and shouted at him.

The fear of being dominated by chestnuts when he was a child made him kindly remind Al.

Many people have seen chestnuts in the supermarket, but they have not necessarily seen what the tree looks like.

Al disdainfully looked at the green, hairy chestnuts on the tree, this danger? Are you kidding? Could it be like you tricked him into drinking yesterday?

Zhou Heng saw that he didn't believe it, so there was no way, a bamboo pole went down, and several chestnuts fell, hitting two in the head.

Elton hugged his head and scurried, and then smiled at Edward embarrassedly, he didn't expect that hairy thing to hit people really hurt.

Zhou Heng was also convinced, seeing that Al should already be middle-aged, but he didn't expect that he was still an old naughty boy's personality, and he was so happy when he was smashed.

Doesn't he have the anxiety of a middle-aged man?

Forget it, whatever, just sell a rabbit fur and be too lazy to worry so much, Zhou Heng said: "Don't worry, when I'm done, let's pick it up in the basket." ”

He beats chestnuts by himself, and he tries to stand on a high place, otherwise he will be in trouble if he falls and hits himself.

After a while, there was no more favorable terrain on the ground, and he had to climb a tree.

However, this tree is easy to climb, unlike the jujube tree, which has thorns, and the forks are not high, so it is easy to have a place to stand.

It is much more convenient to stand on a tree and fight, and if you do, you will fall to the ground and will not hurt him. However, he also had to be careful, because some chestnuts were right next to his face, and if they were pricked, they would be ......

It also takes some strength to beat chestnuts, but it is also very fast, and a lot of them will fall off after a while, and there is still a lot of gain.

Aier Xing was ready to pick it up, Zhou Heng really couldn't do anything about him, how could there be such a person who likes to work!

He shouted from the tree, "Al, you can't pick it up with your hands, you have to use that tongs, you have to use your hands to pick up the one that will be stabbed, that hair is very prickly." ”

He's got tongs with him!

After shouting, he changed his face and continued to beat chestnuts, otherwise, this guy's head would explode today.

After Al touched a chestnut with his own hands and knew how powerful it was, he finally learned to be obedient and went to get the tools.

After beating some, it felt almost over, Zhou Heng got off the tree and also helped pick up chestnuts. It's not a small harvest.

Seeing that Edward and Jiang Xiaoxuan were very interested in helping to pick up chestnuts, Zhou Heng thought to himself, he had known to bring more things out to pick up.

He went to the kitchen of Lao Liu's house again, took out a pair of tongs, and joined the army of picking chestnuts.

After picking it up, I realized that it was knocked too much? There are half baskets of them! I'm a little embarrassed.

But it's already been beaten down, and there's no way to pick it up, forget it, leave.

He went to return the tongs, and then went back with Al carrying the basket.

Half a basket is harvested, and you can eat it many times. After this is brought back, the outer shell must be removed first, and then it must be sunburned.

However, fresh can also be eaten, and it tastes crispy and sweet, but it is stored for a longer time after being sun-dried.

Walking all the way, Zhou Heng also told the story of his childhood all the way.

When I was a child, I didn't have any toys, but when I got chestnuts, I made them into a whistle and played with them.

Because the chestnut shell is very hard, if you only drill a small eye and pull out the chestnut meat inside, you can blow loudly.

Although there are no seven or eight notes, only the sound of tones, but it can be blown, and this is a good toy for him.

Maybe some of his musical cells were cultivated at that time, so that in high school, he could still play so much and play the harmonica well?

Jiang Xiaoxuan joked to him: "If you practice your harmonica more, you can enter the room! Really, you play very well." ”

Zhou Heng said modestly: "General, that is, just entertaining yourself." ”

"Don't, why should Boss Zhou be modest! I really think it's good. ”

"No, no, no, in fact, I think your cooking skills are really good. ”

The two of them began to rainbow fart each other again.

Fortunately, the two foreigners didn't know what they were talking about, otherwise, they would probably have to talk again.

The chestnut got back, and Li Yunlian happened to be at home, preparing for lunch.

In fact, if you do it casually, it is also a meal for several people, and it can catch up with a big pot of rice. After such a few consecutive meals, Zhou Heng really felt very sorry for the old lady.

Li Yunlian was busy with her work, and said: "What's here, cooking for a few people can't be called a thing in the past." At that time, when your second uncle and uncle were not married, there was no separation, a large family, a few mouths, not all of them were done by me. When I'm done, I'm going to work in the fields, and I'm no less than your father. ”

This is her cliché, the family was poor back then, Zhou Heng's grandfather died early, and his grandmother couldn't help, so many people in the family relied on the two of them to operate.

She married an eldest girl, and later Zhou Ying was born, they had to take care of themselves, and they had to take care of Zhou Heng's two uncles and one aunt, and then they got married, married a wife, and split up the family.

The family is poor and can't eat, and grandma quarrels with her from time to time.

Li Yunlian always said that that time was the hardest, and the hardest time has passed, and now these things are nothing!

Now there are machines for cultivating land and threshing for grain, and people don't know how easy it is to make some money. It's nice to have a fan when it's hot and a fire when it's cold.

Now that she has started her own farming, she just cooks more, what is this.

She was content.

Zhou Heng dried the chestnuts he had just gotten back in the yard, and said, "Mom, it's almost time for my little uncle to be discharged from the hospital, right?"

He thought that when his uncle was discharged from the hospital, went home to recuperate, and then came over to help feed the chickens, the old lady would be a little more relaxed.

"Well, I'm talking about being discharged from the hospital in a few days, and I called. Li Yunlian replied.

When she mentioned this, she thought about Zhou Heng's cousin and cousin, those two children have also reached the age of talking about marriage, and it is really difficult to do it at home.

Then she began to worry about Xiaomei's family again.

Zhou Heng opened the chestnut shell while comforting her: "Mom, you don't have to worry too much, fortunately it doesn't matter too much now, and there will still be a chance to start it in the future." ”

The chestnut shell is really hard to peel, the outer hairball is hard and prickly, accidentally touched, there are small thorns pierced into the flesh, that sour......

You'll have to pick it out with a needle.

Edward and Al are still working hard with the fur shell.

After lunch, in the afternoon they went to see the old artists who collaborated on wood carving, but they were still in the stage of processing wood, and it was still early to finish.

At dusk, they came to the rabbit farm as promised.
