Life in the countryside is very regular, when you wake up from a dream, there is a rooster crow to urge you to get up, as soon as the rooster crows, there are people with earth dogs have a headache, because the rooster crow is always accompanied by the dog barking at the same time, this sound can really disturb people to wake up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhang Zhaohua heard Fangfang of the Zhang Qin family next door say more than once that her father always had to carry a knife to slaughter the barking dog in the family, but he was always stopped by his mother.

Fangfang is the daughter of Aunt Qin's family next door, she is exactly eight years old this year, two years older than Zhang Zhaohua, and is her good playmate. Zhang Zhaohua likes to play with her, because this girl speaks fluently, although she is always talking about the shortcomings of the parents, but everything is novel and interesting, or the thing itself is plain, but she can be interesting by her.

For example, her family's dog, which was passed by her mother Qin from another village and came back. In Fangfang's mouth, her mother carried a basket made of mulberry branches, and when she passed by Lijia Village in the southeast of Goushuitou, she saw that the door of a family was open, and there were three or four milk dogs nested on a straw mat inside.

Qin's heart loved it very much, smoked mulberry leaves to tease it, the dog bared his teeth and barked and came to chase her, Qin's led it home, this dog is not stupid, he stopped after running for a while, Qin continued to provoke it, ran and stopped, and took the milk dog back to his house.

This dog was brought back by the Qin family, and it is her favorite, even if it grows into a treacherous character, the Qin family still likes it. Listening to Fangfang, this dog is really going to rebel, as long as the person on the stove is not there, it can take away the cooked dough, this kind of stealing behavior has been more than once, Qin's family also turned a blind eye, if it weren't for the fact that there were still dogs in the village, Fangfang always thought that all the dogs were the same as his family, no wonder her father always shouted at this dog to kill.

Zhang Zhaohua got dressed, moved his butt to the edge of the kang, supported his hands behind his back, jumped off the kang and stepped on the shoes. Squatting on the ground and wearing shoes, she looked up at the earthen kang that was a little taller than her height, which made it difficult for her to imagine that the big kang with the stove fire was not something only in the northeast, in the countryside of Henan, there was already this kind of good thing for heating and heating, and the time even had to be pushed forward for a long time, which was earlier than the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

This year is the eighteenth year of Hongwu, and the place where he lives is a place called Zhangjia Village in the southwest of Yongcheng County, Dezhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture in Henan, an authentic rural place.

Zhang Zhaohua does not hate the countryside, on the contrary, she lived in the city from birth to death in the previous life, and in this life she really came into contact with the countryside, compared with the dirty air of the city and the life of intrigue, she really loved the simple and clean atmosphere here, and thought about it with a short finger, in the six years of life in this life, except for the material life is not as rich as the previous life, and the spiritual entertainment can not be forced, other places are very satisfactory to her.

Materially, her family's life is stronger than food and clothing, but it is far from reaching the level of well-off, rice and noodles are available, but meat, eggs and milk are relatively rare, but they can still be eaten during the New Year's festival and birthday, sometimes she is greedy, so she goes to the chicken coop to touch two or three eggs to cook secretly, eat one herself, and stuff the rest to the eldest brother and second brother, the mother sees that they have eaten, and she doesn't say anything, but like the second brother Zhang Sheng goes to the chicken coop every day to touch an egg and hides it, and hides half a basket for the behavior of the sugar man coming back, Wang will be furious, that time it is useless to beat Zhang Sheng crying dad and calling mother, and now it is to see the old hen are stunned。

In terms of spiritual civilization, because the country was just built at this time, all kinds of waste were waiting to be rebuilt, and the citizens were generally not rich, and the people were busy with food and clothing in the eighteen years of Hongwu, Zhang Zhaohua did not hear and witness many entertainment activities, and it can even be said that they were very scarce. When she was six years old, she really didn't participate in any other activities except for watching the village sacrifice to the land god, the Spring Festival meeting for the New Year, and the market in Lijia Village.

This is too boring, Zhang Zhaohua thought to himself, he must find a way to let his father and mother take him back to the county seat. She also wanted to see the life of the "city people" at this time.

Lifted the cotton curtain and went out, the crisp morning wind blew into his nostrils, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but sneezed a little, this sound made Wang hear, and shouted in the house: "Are you awake? When you wake up, don't wash your face first, go to the garden to pick two gourds to make cakes to eat." ”

Zhang Zhaohua responded crisply, and when he passed by the left wing, he suddenly knocked on the door with his hand, pinched his nose and learned Wang's voice, "Yesterday, I touched the big yellow butt hard, and when I went to dig out the chickens at night, the nest was empty-Brother Sheng, you don't change your life, where did you hide the eggs?"

There was silence in the room for a while, and suddenly there was a voice of Zhang Sheng's ghost crying wolf: "Mother, how can you wronged me, I really didn't take it, I must have touched it and ate it secretly." ”

Zhang Zhaohua was furious, her second brother was really unreasonable, such a stubborn temperament, and a lie full of unwanted thoughts, she had to be corrected. I really thought that he would be able to restrain himself a little after being beaten, but it turned out that he had touched his eggs and relied on his head during this time - she immediately said: "Second brother, you don't want to wronged me." I saw you yesterday, too, and you touched the egg and went out, and hid in the weasel hole in the old wall, ready to wait for the merchant to come, and you exchanged things with him. ”

There is a section of the old wall in the village, it is said that when there is no soldier here, it is also the location of the clan of a large clan, and now there are still a few remnants of the old wall, the root of the wall is particularly deep, and the distance between east and west is also particularly wide, at a glance the family is an old clan, but the Yuan soldiers retreated, and the national army chased after it, and the bandits were rampant between the fights, and this big clan did not exist.

Zhang Zhaohua has played with the old wall I don't know how many times, and naturally knows that the roots of the old wall are all holes made by weasels. She had been here for a long time before she realized that the weasel was not a harmful animal, and it could even be said that in the general thinking of the people, the weasel was still an expert rat catcher. There used to be a rat infestation in this village, every household could not find a cat to come, and then the weasel came, only to stop a lot, the original hole under the wall was a mouse hole, and then the weasel dug up the rat nest, and the hole was taken for himself, and it widened a lot.

Weasels don't steal chickens when there are mice, so the people who raise chickens in the village are not worried, and few people's chickens are bitten to death, but when the rats are plagued a few years ago, the rice and noodles can't be saved, so the people in Zhangjia Village are quite welcoming to weasels, except for her second brother Zhang Sheng. This guy didn't know when he had a fun, set a net to catch a weasel, and after catching it, he tied the weasel's two hind legs together with a rope, and he led the rope at one end, saying that he liked to see the weasel's two front legs crawling around.

Zhang Sheng tied up a litter of weasels, Zhang Zhaohua followed to see the weasel's nest, deep and wide, she looked at Zhang Sheng's thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, she knew what Zhang Sheng's idea was, sure enough, the next day Zhang Sheng did not allow her to go to see the hole, and covered the hole with mud alive.

Sure enough, when Wang heard this, he chased after him, and Zhang Zhaohua walked into the garden, and he could still hear Wang's shouting and scolding.

Her family has built three rooms, the front door into the small courtyard is the big room, the big room is including the guest hall and the kitchen, both sides are on the stove fire, through the left and right two side rooms of the kang. Wang and Zhang Qi live in the big room, Zhang Chang and Zhang Sheng live in the left wing, and Zhang Zhaohua lives in the right wing.

Behind the house there are chickens and vegetables, it is a vegetable garden, which is planted with cucumbers, lettuce, pea tips, garlic moss, beans, radish, eggplant, green onions and other small vegetables, before each meal will go to the vegetable field to pick a handful of radish, pull a few cucumbers, pinch a bunch of pea tips back, sometimes Wang made air-dried chicken, will go to the garden to pick garlic moss, stir-fry a plate of garlic moss chicken, this is the time for the children to cheer.

The Wang family keeps this place in good order, and she knows when every dish can be eaten. Zhang Zhaohua looked up under the vine and picked a gourd that was almost grown, she forgot if this was the gourd that the Wang clan pointed out to her the day before yesterday, but she saw that the others were not as big as this one, so she picked this one.

After picking the zucchini and green onions, he returned to the stove, and saw that Wang was still scolding Zhang Sheng's ears, so he said: "Forget it, mother, he didn't hide it for three or two days, let him take out the eggs, you can cook quickly." Wang stopped scolding, pushed Zhang Sheng to quickly go to the cave to take out the eggs, and rolled up his sleeves and entered the stove room.

Zhang Sheng's son was on the ground, chewed a straw in his mouth, patted his butt and went out. Zhang Zhaohua looked at the direction he went, and knew that he was not going to dig a hole but to find his little brothers, this guy has a lot of influence among a group of half-old children in the village, and he takes a group of children to jump up and down and be naughty all day long, but parents are also relieved to hand over their children to him, because although this guy is playing, he also has a sense of responsibility, how many children he takes to play in the morning, and he can also send the children neatly at night, except for a body of muddy water.

Because these little brothers obey him, it's okay if he doesn't eat in the morning, so naturally he won't come back with a deflated stomach, Zhang Zhaohua is also relieved that he will play, and he scooped half a basin of water from the tank and brought it to the room to wash.
