Zhou Heng had lunch at Zhou Ying's house, played for a while, and after the two batteries were fully charged, he was almost going back.

After all, the road is long, and the small three-wheeler will have to drive for a long time.

He remembered that there was a lack of a small trailer at home, the kind of guy who couldn't hold much, but had wheels to tow around.

Usually people in the city use it to buy groceries, but it is also useful at home. For example, when drying wheat outside, it has to be taken out to dry every morning, and it has to be put into a bag and taken back at night.

In fact, it is in the open space outside the yard, far but not far, it is not so convenient to use a board car, and it is too tiring to carry it back, so it is just right to use a small trailer.

Buy a good one, it's no problem to pull one or two hundred catties in one trip, saving time and effort.

There are too many things to dry, peanuts, soybeans, mung beans and so on, you have to dry them, and it's just right to buy one and go back.

Parents were reluctant to spend this money, so Zhou Heng wanted to bring one back by himself.

This kind of little thing, there is no such thing in the town, and I came to the city today, just looking for it.

He wanted to look around the old street, and an old façade caught his eye.

It is a very inconspicuous old street, there is an open façade, and a wooden sign is erected at the door: Folk Traditional Culture Research Center.

Zhou Heng didn't pay attention at first, but then he thought about it, the shadow puppet show he listened to with Jiang Xiaoxuan at Teacher Liu's house last time seemed to say that Lao He was the consultant hired back here?

Originally, he didn't care about it, but when he thought of this stubble, he couldn't help but take a look at this yamen.

Eh, it's really deserted, even the door seems to be an old object from thirty years ago, compared with the magnificence of the mobile phone store, health center and other facades next door, it's pitiful.

Their city is originally a small city, there are not many new projects injected, and they are still eating the old books from decades ago, so a large part of the city buildings are still decades old.

But this façade is here, and it really looks cold.

Although the door was open, there was no one at the door, there was a black hole inside, revealing an old smell, and I didn't hear the erhu or other musical instruments ringing.

Zhou Heng thought about it, could it be that there was no one in it this weekend, so it was so bleak?

He looked around several times, but couldn't find a place where tickets were sold, and thought to himself, if someone wanted to support the shadow puppet show and wanted to come and buy tickets, wouldn't he be able to buy it?

But when I think about it, even if there are occasionally a few people who come to buy tickets because of their feelings, they are always a minority.

And for these few people, a special ticket office was set up, and a full set of personnel had to participate in the performance, and a bunch of people in front of and behind the stage were busy, and they didn't know if they could earn back the performance fee, and the fee was really not worth it.

Shadow puppetry may really be dying.

In the future, people may only be able to take a look at the fragments of this old Chinese art that has been born for more than 2,000 years from some videos.

With an indescribable emotion, Zhou Heng stopped for a while and left.

He was a layman, and although he didn't like to see this, he really didn't know what he could do.

History always moves forward, and as it moves, it always drops something and puts something new on it, so that it can keep moving forward.

No matter how reluctant you are, it will not change.

Zhou Heng went to find the trailer and went back.

When I got home, the sun was already in the west, and the village was already full of smoke.

In many rural areas, firewood is no longer burned, liquefied gas, biogas, all kinds of things, but here because the back is against the mountain, the firewood and grass of dry branches and other things are very abundant, and there is no money to buy, so the earthen stove has been burning.

The rice cooked in the earthen stove has a layer of browned pot and tastes delicious.

Zhou Heng parked the car, took off the trailer and came out, Li Yunlian came out of the kitchen with food, saw it, and asked, "What is this?"

"Trailer! In the future, I will use this to dry things, and I can use this to drag some small things, which can reduce physical work. Zhou Heng introduced the method of use and said.

"Eh, spend that unjust money again! What can this little trailer do?" Li Yunlian felt sorry for the money as soon as she opened her mouth.

Zhou Heng said: "This will not cost a few more money." Mom, your son is a person who can make money, so you can spend it with peace of mind in the future!"

Li Yunlian tried to drag it a few times, and found that it was still very light, and some small things that could be carried and lifted in the future could really save trouble.

She sighed: "Alas, things are good, and people who can put their minds to it can make this money." ”

It's really a person who can't afford to spend a penny.

Although the chickens at home are expensive, she subconsciously thinks that the money has to be saved, and there are many places to use the money at home.

Zhou Heng saw that only when he made enough money could the old lady let go of her hard work and start enjoying her life.

After a little wait, dinner was ready, and the family sat down at the table for dinner.

It's really like what Zhou Ying said, only when Zhou Heng is at home, the food at home is decent.

In terms of income, I only received a large deposit yesterday, and it is no problem to enjoy a little bit of food. But for parents, that's not enough.

Zhou Faqiang ran for another day today, in order to contract the lake affairs, it was not so easy anyway.

But the problem of contracting is not big, anyway, if the money can be in place, there is no problem with anything else.

During the meal, we talked about the problem of increasing the number of chicks.

Zhou Faqiang said: "In a few days, the primary school will be out for the summer vacation, and some of the people who are working outside will come back, and Zhang Feng and they will definitely come back. ”

This is something that I have thought of for a long time, and if I add 6,000 chickens, it will occupy a large area, and the yard will not be able to live at all.

The chicks do not need to grow to a month, they have to move to the big chicken coop to live, form a habit as soon as possible, worry about it as soon as possible, or they will rush to the new chicken coop when they are older, even if it is not easy.

The chicken coop should be built a little better, so it will take a long time, so the project is large, and the father and son will not be able to do it well.

Besides, Zhou Heng didn't want his father to work so hard!

At such an age, still building a chicken coop in the mountains, how many days will the two of them be busy?

Invite a few people to come, just get it right, you can spend a few bucks!

Again, if you build a chicken coop, you need someone to keep vigil, and you must also make a place to live for the vigil. It doesn't have to be good, but it has to be.

Protects against wind and snow in winter and rain in summer.

Li Yunlian listened and asked, "How much is this estimate?"

"It doesn't cost much. Zhou Heng replied.

For people who are always worried about money, you can't tell her specific numbers.

The matter of continuing the chicken fry has been discussed, and another thing is that after contracting the lake, I will also go to see the fish fry market.

Zhou Heng wants to raise some fish with high economic value, raising one pound is one pound, and he doesn't want to spend more physical strength.

The newly formed lake is only so big that it is impossible to raise unlimited fish.

Zhou Faqiang suddenly asked Zhou Heng: "You are replenishing chicken seedlings at home, and you are raising fish, so ...... What about your work out there?"

They still remember that Zhou Heng came back from leave, and the boss was very good, allowing him a month's vacation and paying him half a month's salary.

Such a good boss has to talk to people well.

Zhou Heng thought to himself, you are also too sincere, and you think that everyone in the world is a good person.

He said: "It's no problem, I just call the boss in two days to resign, do something at home, can take care of the family, the boss won't say anything." Anyway, it's easy for him to recruit workers. ”

In fact, the company did not recruit people after he left, and it was already a sluggish company anyway.

Zhou Faqiang nodded.

Li Yunlian said: "It's good to do things at home, but it's not easy to find a wife! When people hear that they are doing things in their hometown, they don't want to talk about it." ”

That's the only thing she's worried about right now.

Zhou Heng said: "Mom, you can rest assured, as long as you make a name, you can do the same." ”

He didn't want to continue the topic, so he turned to say: "Mom, today's fried bamboo shoots with bacon are delicious! When I used to be outside, I always wanted to eat this. ”

After speaking, he exaggerated a large number of chopsticks into the bowl, and ate very fragrantly.

Of course, it's really delicious.

Stir-fried with small red peppers, fried bamboo shoots with bacon, spicy and fragrant, very tasty.

His eating appearance made Li Yunlian smile, and she forgot the topic just now.

It's a pity that the family didn't feed the pigs this year, and all the pigs that were fed last year were sold, and they didn't make any money, and people were tired, and my mother said that I was annoyed when I saw the pigs, and I didn't feed them this year.

Zhou Heng said: "Then what will you eat for the New Year this year?"

Here, they have the tradition of killing New Year's pigs during the Chinese New Year, and if they can't finish eating, they will smoke it and eat it for a year in the coming year.

But if you don't feed the pigs this year, won't you have a place for the New Year?

Li Yunlian said: "The pigs that are killed every year have not been eaten, and the smoked meat is for you to take to the place where you work, and you don't want to bring more, this year I said, just buy half of the pigs in other houses during the New Year." Who knows, you're back this year. ”

Zhou Heng said: "It's not that I don't want to take it, it's that I can't take it, I can't take half a pig, right?"

Every year when he comes back for the Chinese New Year, he is at home as a rice worm, just eating and drinking, and when he leaves, he is full of large and small bags, all kinds of enema, bacon, cured meat, and the like.

I can't wait to even ask him to take the eggs, saying that they are authentic local eggs at home, and they can't be bought outside.

However, there are many luggage with them, and it is very inconvenient to travel, especially here, and they have to transfer several buses to get there.

Every time he went out, his parents asked him to bring more meat, as if begging him.

One year, they even asked him to bring half a bag of rice, saying that the rice at home was good.

Zhou Heng said: "In the past, I didn't eat at home, so you usually have to eat more! ”

At the dinner table, gradually only the voices of Zhou Heng and his mother remained, and Zhou Faqiang returned to the majesty of the head of the family, and he couldn't make a sound when he had nothing to do.

From childhood to adulthood, the family has been like this.

Sometimes, it's just a chatter that has nothing to say, but it's very reassuring.

Living at home, you don't have to look ahead and backward every word you say, and you don't have to worry about offending anyone because of a certain sentence, in fact, it's pretty good to live like this.

Life, simple is not necessarily not happiness.

The big yellow dog was next to him, eating his dinner, and there were some broth crumbs in the meal, and he ate it very well.

Since Zhou Heng came back, its food has also improved a lot.

The kitten can already eat a thin meal, that is, mix some rice in the rice soup to endure hunger.

This guy eats very inattentively, especially after the chicken brigade returns, it is even more excited.

Yesterday I just wanted to fight with crayfish, but today I want to catch chickens. When it sees a chicken passing by, it wants to stretch out its paws and try it.

It's a pity that its little milk claws, no chickens take it in their eyes.
