The rainy season in central Luzhong begins at the end of June in the solar calendar, and after entering July, there are more cloudy and rainy days, and there will even be several days of rain in a row. Wang Shaodong remembers that when he was in the second grade of primary school, the longest time was cloudy, and it rained for nine days.

Now it has entered the middle of June in the solar calendar, and a sudden rainstorm announced the arrival of the rainy season.

The warm and humid air currents from the Pacific Ocean, carrying a large amount of rainfall, have nourished the people of the continent for thousands of years.

"Brother Dong, your family has built such a beautiful little western-style building, why don't you go home to live in it, and you are willing to nest here with our two stinky foot brothers at night?" Zheng Tao was sipping melon seeds while looking at the rain outside.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner in another hour and a half, but the rain had no intention of stopping.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Zhao Shihai couldn't sit still. His wife is about to give birth, and no matter how heavy the rain is, he has to go back at night. It's Wang Yuliang, you can consider staying on the mountain for a night tonight.

Now there are 500 red jade roosters on the mountain, and there are 500 No. 3 laying hens of the Agricultural University, and there is no one to do at night.

"Where to live is different, those who are the bed and the quilt make me admire."

Like Hong Qigong, he is happy wherever he goes, and that kind of life is actually very enviable.

Happiness is more often a state of mind than ever related to matter. Some people are born happy, while some people are not born happy. In fact, sometimes, the more material pursuits there are, the emptier the heart will become, and the less happiness will become.

"The earth is a bed, the sky is a quilt, that's a beggar." Zheng Tao is a very smart person.

"Yes, when I came to Quancheng, I knew a beggar, just in front of the north gate of the headquarters of Qilu Normal University, a beggar who was missing a leg, the beggar always looked at everyone with a smile every day, and the media reported that he also sponsored four orphans."

Zheng Tao frowned, thinking carefully about what Wang Shaodong had just said.

Zhao Shihai finally couldn't sit still and stood up.

"Dongzi, your little concubine's due date is these two days, I have to go back."

Wang Shaodong saw that his brother-in-law was a little restless, and said: "It's raining heavily here, why don't you wait a little and wait for the rain to light before leaving." ”

The pouring rain was pouring down, and the temperature that was gradually heating up suddenly returned to a cool level.

Zhao Shihai had already put on a raincoat, looked at Wang Yuliang and said, "Liangzi, you stay here tonight, I'll go home and talk to your mother." ”

Then, Zhao Shihai walked to the door and said to Wang Shaodong: "Dongzi, no, I have to go back quickly." ”

Zhao Shihai carefully wrapped the mobile phone in a plastic bag and carried it in his arms, then pulled his trouser legs and ran into the rain curtain. Wang Shaodong looked at Zhao Shihai's figure and gradually disappeared into the misty rain curtain.

Zheng Hui lifted the thermos and wanted to pour saliva to drink, but found that the hot water was gone, so he carried the kettle and went to the kitchen next door to boil water.

On the side of Songbai Mountain, Wang Shaodong and his meals are usually made on the simple pot stove built by Zheng Hui with mud outside, and then they drink water, and they use a heart-burning kettle to boil water. There is firewood on the mountain, and it is still very convenient to use a heart-burning kettle.

However, now that it is raining heavily, you can't go outside to use the heartburner, and because the roof inside the house is relatively low, there will be a certain danger if you use the heartburner to boil water, so you can't use the heartburner, you can only use the kettle to boil water on the gas stove.

Wang Shaodong built a row of cutting sheds on Songbai Mountain, which was divided into ten chicken coop greenhouses, and now except for Wang Shaodong's chicken coop in the west where they lived, there were 500 red jade roosters, and then from the room where they lived to the east, there were 500 No. 3 laying hens in the second room, and the other chicken coops were still empty for the time being.

Zheng Hui and the others tidied up one of the chicken coops a little bit and used it as a warehouse and kitchen for the time being.

The premix is mixed with a lot of fish bone meal, which gives the whole kitchen a fishy smell.

Zhao Shihai left, and Wang Yuliang proposed: "Dongzi, we can't do anything else when it rains, or let's play cards." ”

There are fewer topics to talk about each other, and then you need to find some topics, otherwise it will be a little embarrassing, and playing cards is indeed a good way.

Among the 14 administrative villages in Dazhai Township, several villages have a tradition of gambling, such as this Dazhai Village, which has been fond of gamblers since the older generation. The folk customs of Taohualing Village are okay, the gambling atmosphere is not serious, and when the New Year's festival is slack, everyone gets together in twos and threes to play poker, which is also a very good pastime.

The main ways to gamble money in Dazhai Village are mahjong, pai gow and poker. And the way this poker is used to gamble money is basically to fight the landlord, the king flower, three to one and the hand one.

No gambling, simple pastime, in Taohualing Village, playing poker, four people are upgraded, five people are royalists, and six people are enough. Among them, the upgrade only requires four people, so it is relatively easy to make up the game.

Wang Yuliang's proposal was immediately approved by Zheng Tao: "Brother Dong, this is a good idea, we finally got together enough four people, and we can't stop until two o'clock in the morning." ”

Wang Shaodong smiled: "It's okay to play two, but it's a little bad to get it until two o'clock in the morning." ”

The leader agreed, and Zheng Tao and Wang Yuliang hurriedly set up the table and put the seats in the middle of the dormitory.

Zheng Hui went to boil water, and then the next thing was to wait for Zheng Hui to come back.

The three of them sat in their seats, and on the table were two sets of washed pokers.

Zheng Hui came in with an umbrella and a kettle, the spout of the kettle was still steaming, and the water inside was boiling.

"I can only eat instant noodles at night, and there is no gas in the gas tank."

When it comes to food, a few people don't care much.

"Brother, it's still early to eat, maybe the rain will stop then, and then we can go out to catch a hare and roast it."

On Songbai Mountain, the barbed wire fence has been basically completely enclosed. In order to catch up with the progress of the project, Wang Shaodong arranged a multi-road construction team to go up the mountain for construction.

There are a lot of hares and pheasants on the mountain, and when Zheng Hui and them were patrolling the mountains a few times, they saw that the pheasants and hares were stuck in the barbed wire, and they went home directly.

In addition, Zhao Shihai often goes to the mountains for a spin, and the next rabbit set or something, there will be some gains.

Hares and pheasants are now the top creatures of the food chain on Songbai Mountain, and the next step is for Wang Shaodong to eliminate them and replace them with his own chickens.

"Enough."

Zheng Hui poured water, then rubbed his hands, and came over to prepare to start playing poker.
