Chapter 30: Erpi's Home
Zhang Zucheng, who was still asleep, was woken up by a familiar rhythm of music, and took the mobile phone next to him to see that it was a transfer notice from the bank, and 200,000 yuan in cash was transferred into his account, which was the balance owed by the Zhou family.
A large sum of money was transferred early in the morning, which seemed to indicate that today would be a lucky day.
After getting up and eating some of the three fresh dumplings left over from last night, Zhang Zucheng felt very satisfied, and rushed to the vegetable field with the branches.
"Zhizhi, you don't have to go down to the field, rest more at home, and when you go back to school, there will be no such good days." Zhang Zucheng said as he walked.
"It's okay, Brother Zu Cheng, I'm not tired, and it's boring to be alone at home." Zhizhi said with a smile, but suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart.
Since the last wildfire incident, Zhizhi has taken a few days off at school in order to deal with family matters and calculate the days, and she should go back to school tomorrow to report, and she always feels a little reluctant to leave Zhang Zucheng.
"Brother Zu Cheng... I'm going back to school tomorrow, can you send me..."In Zhizhi's heart, although she wanted Zhang Zucheng to send her to school very much, she was afraid that it would delay Zhang Zucheng's business, so after thinking about it, she still mustered up the courage to open her mouth.
"Okay, anyway, the vegetables in the field will be sold, and I will go to the city tomorrow to deal with it."
Zhizhi heard that Zhang Zucheng agreed to her, and her heart was already happy, as for Zhang Zucheng's reason for going to the city to sell vegetables or to send her to school, it no longer matters.
When he came to the vegetable field, Zhang Zucheng saw Da Zhuang's familiar figure again, but he didn't expect this guy to rush early in the morning, which made him really a little ashamed.
"Brother Zhuang, why do you get up so early every day." Zhizhi asked.
"Zhizhi, Zu Cheng, you are here." Da Zhuang saw the two, said hello, and continued, "It's nothing, I usually get up early to go to the ground with my father, and I'm used to it." ”
Hearing Da Zhuang talk about his family's land, Zhang Zucheng said with concern, "By the way, Da Zhuang, you help me, what should I do with the work in my own field?" ”
"It's okay, it's not the busy season, and it's usually not a big deal, my father said that he can do it alone, let me follow you to do big things!" Da Zhuang said with a smile.
What Zhang Zucheng didn't expect was that not only Da Zhuang believed in himself, but even his family was so relieved to let Da Zhuang follow him, and he felt a warm feeling in his heart, "Okay, Da Zhuang, when we go to the city tomorrow to sell these vegetables, we will start to do big things, and keep it from disappointing Uncle Shi." ”
"Hey." Da Zhuang smiled honestly, and naturally believed in Zhang Zucheng's words.
The three of them worked until noon, when they cleared all the vegetables in the field, and then transported them back home basket by basket, until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, when Zhang Zucheng sat at the table and ate a mouthful of hot rice.
Just when Zhang Zucheng was eating fragrantly, the guy Erpi jumped out of nowhere, wagging his tail at Zhang Zucheng and begging for mercy, it seemed that he was also hungry.
"Okay, you stupid dog, I didn't see you in the morning, and now when I'm hungry, I run to me to ask for it, how can it be so easy." Zhang Zucheng said eloquently, bent on playing tricks on Erpi, "In this way, you give me the show first, and then I will consider whether to give you food." ”
"Wang~" As if protesting, Erpi screamed, but his tail wagged even harder.
Seeing Erpi's reaction, Zhang Zucheng said smoothly, "Although he said no, his body is very honest!" After saying that, he didn't forget to laugh twice, which added a little more evil spirit to him.
Da Zhuang on the side didn't seem to hear Zhang Zucheng's words at all, and still ate his own food, no wonder, even Da Zhuang rarely comes out of the village, let alone surfing the Internet, his mobile phone doesn't even have this function, so it's normal for him not to understand the Internet phrase Zhang Zucheng said.
And the branch on the side is not a person who doesn't understand anything, as soon as she heard Zhang Zucheng's words, her little face turned pink with shame, "Zucheng, what are you talking about?" ”
Zhizhi said, Zhang Zucheng was also a flurry, he didn't expect Zhizhi to actually understand his own meat jokes, today's young people are really not to be underestimated, when they are like this, they don't understand anything, they are very pure.
"I'm sorry, Zhizhi, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable." Zhang Zucheng teased.
With such a boast, Zhizhi's face became even redder, and as if he was afraid that Zhang Zucheng would misunderstand, he hurriedly explained, "It's all my classmates who told me...".
Seeing Zhizhi's shy appearance, Zhang Zucheng laughed, "What's so shy about this, I'll be an adult soon, and it's a shame to not understand this." ”
Zhizhi only felt that his face was hot at the moment, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
"Wang~" Erpi roared again, as if complaining, you chatted so happily, and let the dog not live, they were all about to starve to death.
"Zu Cheng, you hurry up and give Erpi some to eat, I think it's really hungry, and I don't know what's wrong with Uncle Hunting, I usually take Erpi closer than my son, but recently I don't care about it, I think Erpi is about to become a wild dog." Da Zhuang spoke for Erpi.
After Da Zhuang mentioned this, Zhang Zucheng also felt strange, "Well, it's indeed a little strange, in this way, after eating, let's go to Uncle Hunt's to see what's going on." Zhang Zucheng proposed.
After lunch, except for Zhizhi staying at home to pack up his things, Zhang Zucheng and Da Zhuang took Erpi to Zhang Orion's house.
As soon as he came to Zhang Orion's house, Erpi screamed happily, and his tail wagged non-stop, as if he was calling Zhang Orion to come out to welcome him, but unfortunately the house was very quiet, and there was no movement.
"Uncle Hunting, I'm Zu Cheng, are you here?" Zhang Zucheng shouted loudly, but there was still no movement in the house.
"Zu Cheng, did you say that Uncle Hunting went out?" Da Zhuang asked.
"It's possible, but the door is not locked, it shouldn't be too long to go out, let's go in first and wait for a while," said Zhang Zucheng, and walked towards the house.
As soon as I pushed the door open, a layer of dust fell, and after only two steps inside, my face was wrapped with a layer of spider silk, and the itching feeling was not pleasant.
Looking around the house, the tables, chairs and benches are already a layer of dust, which is also a very common thing in the countryside, if no one sees it at home, it will be covered with a layer of dust in a few days, more than half a month, and the whole house looks like no one has lived for a long time.
"It seems that Uncle Hunter has been out for a long time." Zhang Zucheng said while observing the surrounding situation.
"Well, it may have gone into the mountains, and I didn't see a big long face when I came in just now, so I should have been taken away by Uncle Hunter." Da Zhuang guessed.
This big long face is a hunting dog trained by Zhang Lao Hunting with a soil dog, because the dog face is long, so it is called a big long face, and it is usually brought into the mountains.
"That's right, the shotgun that usually hangs there is gone, I think it's in the mountains." Regarding Da Zhuang's statement, Zhang Zucheng also agreed.
Creak!
I only heard a sound at the gate, Zhang Zucheng thought it was Zhang Lao Hunting back, and when he went out, it turned out to be the old man Lu who lived next door.
Old man Lu saw Zhang Zucheng and the others, and said, "It turns out that Zucheng and Da Zhuang, I thought it was the old man who came back." ”
Hearing Old Man Lu mention Zhang Lao Hunt, Zhang Zucheng hurriedly asked, "Old Uncle Lu, Old Uncle Hunting, is this going up the mountain?" ”
"But isn't it, I haven't seen you back after walking for a few days, and at that time, I hugged Erpi over and let me look at it, and then I took someone up the mountain." Old man Lu recalled, "But I didn't expect that the dog thing in Erpi was so skinny, and it disappeared all day long, and I didn't know where to run." ”
As he spoke, Old Man Lu saw Erpi next to Zhang Zucheng, "Yo drink, isn't this Erpi, I know I'm back, see if I don't clean you up." ”
As if he knew that he had made a mistake, Erpi immediately ran to Old Man Lu and wagged his tail.
Zhang Zucheng listened to Old Man Lu's words and continued: "You said that Uncle Hunting, he didn't go up the mountain alone. ”
The old man Lu, who was amusing Erpi, heard Zhang Zucheng's words and replied, "Oh, isn't it, in addition to the old man, there are five other people, and they know that they are rich people from the city." ”
"It's been so long since I went into the mountain and I haven't come back, nothing will happen." Da Zhuang was worried.
"Hey, it's not the first time he's an old headhunter to go into the mountains, he can't go a hundred or ten times that year, there's nothing to worry about, in a few days, he'll come back by himself, don't worry." Old man Lu waved his hand at Erpi, "Go, bitch, go home with me." ”
Although Old Man Lu's words were a little rougher, but if you think about it carefully, there is really nothing to worry about, it is normal for Orion to stay in the mountain for ten days and half a month, and with Uncle Hunter's many years of experience in entering the mountain, it is difficult to think of accidents.
"Okay, Da Zhuang, don't worry about it, the second skin will be handed over to Uncle Lu, let's go whatever we want." Zhang Zucheng said.
Leaving Zhang Laolie's home, Da Zhuang broke up with Zhang Zucheng and returned to his home.
As soon as Zhang Zucheng arrived home, he saw Zhizhi's bitter gourd face, "Brother Zucheng, the vegetables we picked yesterday have wilted." ”
Zhang Zucheng entered the house and saw that sure enough, some of the dishes he picked the day before had become wilted, drooping his head, and he was very unenergetic, but he was helpless about this situation.
Seeing Zhizhi's unhappy look, Zhang Zucheng comforted, "Hey, silly girl, what's this, it's all pulled out of the ground, and sooner or later it will become like this." ”
"But in this way, Brother Zu Cheng won't be able to sell it at a good price tomorrow, this is the fruit of Brother Zu Cheng's hard work." Zhizhi is not willing to be authentic.
Zhang Zucheng smiled with relief, he didn't expect this little girl to think so much about herself, "Zhizhi, I'll change a magic trick for you, so that they can all change back to the freshest appearance." ”
"Really!?" Zhizhi said excitedly.
Zhang Zucheng smiled, put his finger on the vegetable leaves, and urged the stone spirit in his body, at this time, a miraculous thing appeared, and the vegetables that had gradually wilted became energetic, giving people a feeling of verdant.
When Zhizhi saw this scene, his face was full of surprise, and he said excitedly, "Brother Zu Cheng, you are so powerful, you can do this kind of thing!" ”
"That's right, I'm more capable, what's the matter, now rest assured, these dishes will definitely be sold at a good price tomorrow." Zhang Zucheng smiled.
