The next day at noon
Grandpa and Grandma Liu's yard was finally renovated.
The original dilapidated yard has been renovated with blue bricks and black tiles.
Later, Zhang Feng's family, the second uncle's family of three, and Uncle Dashan and other dozen people, everyone helped to clean the house thoroughly, mainly to clean up the tiles and dust that fell in the house.
After cleaning the house, everyone swept all the broken bricks and tiles around the house to the backyard, and after working for more than an hour, the entire courtyard was finally cleaned, and the dilapidated courtyard, which was almost deserted, was revitalized.
Looking at the cleaned farmhouse courtyard, the old man and Grandma Liu were very happy, and walked around the house, as if they had bought a house for the first time, and they had indescribable joy in their hearts.
From then on, this was the home of the two old men, just like their hometown in their memories, not only with beautiful scenery, but also with many old rural traditions, which made them feel very familiar, like returning to their former hometown, because both old people are ready to retire here and spend the last days of their lives.
Chinese pay attention to the fallen leaves to return to the roots, the hometown of the two old people is not flooded, this has always been the biggest regret in their hearts, especially after retirement, the two old people miss their hometown even more, miss the era of hard struggle, foam with each other, although when they were in their hometown, the conditions were very difficult, but at that time the fighting spirit was high, full of confidence in life, full of passion, that memory is the most valuable wealth in their lives.
"Xiao Feng, you help me open all the windows upstairs to make the room ventilated and breathable, and we will move here in the afternoon." The old man said to Zhang Feng with a happy face.
"Okay old man!" Zhang Feng quickly climbed upstairs and opened the ventilation windows upstairs one by one, because of the high terrain here, it was very windy, and I believe that the moisture in the house would soon be able to dry up, and it would be more comfortable to live.
……………………
Just after dinner at noon, Liu Yiyi drove to the village again, followed by a large truck, which was full of household goods of the two old men.
Bedding, tables, chairs, sofas, kitchen utensils, a complete set of household items, a whole cart was loaded, with the help of Zhang Feng and others, it took about two hours to finally put all the items away, and the whole house also felt like home.
In order to congratulate the two old men on moving to a new home, Zhang Feng had nothing to give, so he went to the backyard to catch two fish and weigh catties of yellow eels as a gift.
In the evening, the old man made a large table of delicacies with the fish, yellow eel and vegetables in Zhang Feng's backyard given by Zhang Feng, and invited the people who helped today to eat at home.
My wife and I thank you for your help, and I toast you all ......."
"It's okay old man, we'll be neighbors from now on, why are you talking about this......"
"It's just that the old man is too polite......" everyone clinked glasses, and then said with a smile.
"Hehe, come! Come on, everyone eats, I am borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, using all the ingredients of Xiaofeng's family......" Putting down the wine glass, the old man picked up the chopsticks and beckoned everyone to come.
"Yes, you're welcome...... everyone," Grandma Liu said with a smile.
"The old man's cooking is so delicious, we will definitely not be polite. Zhang Feng sandwiched a piece of braised eel and tasted it, I have to say that the old man's craftsmanship is really good, and he has his own merits, although the taste is slightly different, there is a common specialty, that is, delicious.
Then everyone started one after another, the old man has made a lifetime of dishes, he must not have made a dish, the taste is surprisingly good, everyone eats with relish, full of praise.
"Hehe, let's eat more, it's not enough for me to make it......" Seeing everyone eating so deliciously, the old man was very happy, with a smile on his face, and his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment.
"Enough, old man, we're all about to eat!"
"Even if I haven't eaten so full for a long time, I feel like I can't walk anymore!"
At the end of the banquet, the table full of delicious dishes was almost wiped out by everyone, not only the old man's food was delicious, but also the factor of how happy people were, and everyone ate exceptionally sweet.
After eating, the eldest sister and Zhang Lin helped clean up the mess, cleaned the dishes and chopsticks with Liu Yiyi, and the others drank tea and chatted in the yard, talking about the hard years before, remembering the hard days in the past, digging grass roots, eating wild vegetables, and not seeing oil meat a few times a year, everyone sighed, and then thought about the current days, how happy they are.
After all, after a busy day, the young people don't know how to work, but the two elderly people are mentally exhausted and need to rest early to recover the energy consumed today.

The next day
Zhang Feng began to pack up the beds at home, and the quilts and sheets were always dried to prepare for the arrival of his classmates.
"Brother Madman, are you drying the quilt?" At this moment, Little Duck and Big Mao walked in.
"Yes, you're going to play in the fields again?" asked Zhang Feng as he straightened the sheets.
"We just went to the field to catch grasshoppers, and you see this is what we just caught. As he spoke, the little duck brought the mineral water bottle containing the grasshopper to Zhang Feng's eyes.
"Yo, you've caught so many, how about selling it to me?" Zhang Feng said in surprise as he looked at the grasshopper that was half a bottle.
"Brother Crazy, how much money do you give us?" The little guys are so money fans, they were happy when they heard that they could sell for money, and looked at Zhang Feng expectantly.
"There are just five of you, how about giving you five yuan?" Zhang Feng said with a smile.
As soon as a few little guys heard that grasshoppers could be sold for five yuan, they were very happy to sell the grasshoppers to Zhang Feng, and each of them shared a dollar and ran to the commissary at the entrance of the village.
"Yes, yes, another good dish this afternoon. Zhang Feng took half a bottle of grasshoppers, put them in the refrigerator, and prepared to make a fried grasshopper dish at night, which was a very good side dish.
Grasshoppers are also called locusts, whether in ancient times or in modern times, locust plagues are desperate natural disasters, where the locust army goes, the crops are not harvested, not a single inch of grass is left, sweeping thousands of miles, incomparably terrifying, even in modern times there is no good disaster relief method.
Although the disaster caused by locusts is very terrifying, in the eyes of foodies, it is just a delicious appetizer, fried in oil and crispy and delicious.
In the evening, Zhang Feng cleaned the locusts, then put them in a basket to drain them, and finally put them in the oil pot, and soon a strong smell of meat spread, about two or three minutes, Zhang Feng scooped up the locusts, and a plate of fragrant fried locusts was ready.
At dinner, this plate of fried grasshoppers is the most popular among everyone, crispy and delicious, with a strong meat aroma, everyone likes it very much, and even the big black and little black at home can't help but run to the table and call when they smell the fragrance. Two more big stomachs came, and a plate of fried grasshoppers was quickly wiped out by everyone.
