Zhang Niu, who stayed in the happy small building, has been very idle recently, and he was bored and ran to the back mountain to choose a few soft bamboos, ready to cut them back and make it a few soil fishing rods for fishing.***Those at home have been put for too long, and a little wormhole has grown on the bamboo pole, all of which are used as nests for insects.

At the beginning of April, the peach trees and cherries on Zhang Niu's happy little building began to sprout, and the neighborhood near the door grew faster than anywhere else. There is basically no shadow on the side of Maotou Mountain.

Zhang Niu himself estimated that it would not be long before the peach blossoms on it should bloom in a large area. There are also a few black-hearted horses and plums planted in front of the door, all of which are dug up by Zhang Niu in the mountains behind his house, which belong to the old breed, and they bear so many plums every year. It's a big, late-maturing machine. I don't know if I can change the variety of water on the water.

On this day, Zhang Niu brought home the grass carp he caught yesterday, which was caught in the space, but the guys inside were all thieves now. It took a lot of effort for Zhang Niu to catch it. A newly made fishing rod was broken on the way. It's also to blame Zhang Niu for being lazy when he did it, and he didn't use mountain grass to smear it. And it's also to blame that this grass carp is too big.

When I entered the house, I saw my father squatting on the ground. In front of him was a large pile of grass ash. There is also a dustpan next to the ashes. It turned out to be preparing to plant potatoes. It's not too late to start planting in April.

"I'm back with fish again. Didn't you get it back less? Dad said, looking down at the potato.

In the past few days, Zhang Niu will come back with fish every few days. The two of them drank wine and ate fish together. The father who drinks will say a lot of truths, and it is better to keep the fish in his heart than to sell it for money. Zhang Niu put this in the back of his mind every time, if it was another fish, forget it. This is a space-raised fish. Every time my dad says it, he still makes the fish taste attractive in action.

"Dad, you take it and raise it, I'll cut the potato pieces," he said, and handed over the grass carp in his hand.

"Well, then you should be careful not to cut it wrong. There are not many seeds at home this year. "Don't forget to nag a few words when you leave.

The potatoes next to the grass ash are already sprouting. The oval potatoes have already grown a lot of buds, but they are not very easy to recognize, and the only thing that is the place where the sprouts will arch.

In the past, potatoes were still eaten as rice, but now that life is better, these potatoes have become summer strips or something. Zhang Niu looked at the small potato in his hand, and he still cut it. Shaking his head, these things were not something he could think about.

Don't think it's a good thing to plant potatoes in their entirety. Zhang Niu was holding a rusty kitchen knife, and a small wooden board was placed on the ground. Cut the potatoes into cubes. Each block should have a bud bud on it. A potato can be cut into six or seven pieces, but it also depends on the sprouts. Every year, the seeds left for planting are selected and placed in the cellar.

Liquid will come out of the cut potato, and this is where the grass ash piled up next to it comes in handy. Stick the cut side in the ashes. Let the ashes stick to it, and then take it out and put it in the dustpan.

Choose your route. Zhang Niu cut it very easily, and when his father came back, Zhang Niu had already cut the whole basket of potatoes.

"Not bad. The cut is quite weekly. No bud bud was wasted. He picked up a potato from the dustpan and said.

"It's planted in our fast vegetable patch." Zhang Niu looked up and asked.

"The big family at the head of the village. Didn't you go there a lot before."

I heard my dad say that I knew that it was a big fang outside the village, and I heard that it was the planting that was approved by the county before, but this thing was bubbling and then disappeared, and the village was happy when I first knew, and then I slowly lost interest.

The place outside has been called Zhangjiajia for a long time. Many of Zhang Niu's own fields are located over there.

Hold two dustpans of grass ash and potato chunks in a dustpan and pick them up with a bamboo pole. It's just that my father picked Zhang Niu for a long time and didn't work for a long time, so he didn't feel burdened to pick so far, this year, Zhang Niu was born in the future, and he basically didn't know how to do heavy work.

On the ridge, I met many people from the same village who greeted me. Zhangjiajia is basically rice-based. In addition to rice, there are also green rape flowers, in recent years, the county said that whoever grows rape flowers can supply 30 yuan per acre of land, and the big farmers on the village road will plant this. The price of vegetable oil is also good, and there are many people who grow it. Zhang Niu's family also planted a lot of land on the empty mountain land in the back mountain, anyway, the place is barren every year.

This time the potato planting place is in the corner of the big one. There was a small waterhole right next to it. It's convenient to water or something. Small pits have been dug in the ground. It seems that Dad has dug it up a few days earlier.

Zhang Niu couldn't help much with the things in the field. If you don't help, my dad is already happy. Zhang Niu, who was fine, squatted next to the small pool, plucking the weeds next to him.

A wavy line crept over the water. At first, Zhang Niu thought it was caused by the wind blowing the water surface, but after a closer look, there were no such thick waves when the wind blew, and the waves slid across the water surface and quietly burrowed into the aquatic plants by the waterhole.

The wave turned out to be a water snake, gently gliding across the water in an S shape and hiding in the aquatic weeds. The old man who was plowing the ground looked at the waterhole: "There are a lot of water snakes in your little waterhole. Be careful not to bite. ”

As soon as Dad said it, Zhang Niu noticed it, no wonder he slid through a few waves just now when he squatted next to him. The water snake in the aquatic grass showed its head and stopped there. The waterhole is not deep, and you can see the shallow water on the side, where a small match-thin loach is looking for food. Hiding in the aquatic weeds, the water snake swooped and swooped towards the poor loach.

Looking at Zhang Niu on the side, it feels very interesting. There was also a large mass of white frog eggs in the aquatic grass on the side. Not to mention, there are thousands of grains densely knotted together.

No wonder there are several water snakes and so many frog eggs here. After a while, baby tadpoles can be born. That's not a lot of food. This nest of water snakes is so smart.

Since it is a non-venomous water snake, Zhang Niu plans to ask his father to catch some and go back to taste it, anyway, there is a big white duck on his mountain, take one back to make snake soup, it must taste great.

"Dad, you see that the water snakes in this water are quite big, why don't we catch a few and eat them,"

When the watering came back, my father listened. "I want to eat snake meat. What you said is that these water snakes stayed for a winter and fattened up. It's okay to grab a few and go back. ”

The matter of catching the water snake can only be familiar to my father, and Zhang Niu has given the water snake a few bites before. At that time, it was also my father who caught it in the field. Raised in a big bucket, the ignorant Zhang Niu thought it was a yellow eel, but as you can imagine, the fiery water snake gave Zhang Niu a mouth. The water snake bites not painfully, but it is itchy around the bite. It will be fine after a day, and my father also said that it is normal to catch a water snake who has not been bitten. After that, laughing.

It is said that once it was bitten by a snake, ten years of fear of grass rope is very useful to Zhang Niu himself, although it is not so serious, but now Zhang Niu still does not dare to go up to catch snakes. There is a shadow in my heart.

Dad simply picked up the bamboo pole directly. The bamboo flat pole is wide at both ends. Reverse the flat pole and quietly stretched out into the water with one end. Close to the belly of the water snake, aim at the water snake and gently pick it to the ground, and the water snake will pick it to the ground. Slap the head of the snake directly with a flat pole. Zhang Niu, who was watching from the side, felt that it was better for his father to catch a snake than to shoot a snake. The snake was not killed, but it is estimated that it is not far from death. Four more were then singled out. All repeat the above experience.

"Look at Dad, this is a good snake shot. It's troublesome to catch alive, and now you don't see that you're dead, and you can just slaughter it when you take it home. "Shaking the water snake tied together in his hand.

The potatoes were also planted, and the water snake in his hand was carried in his hand, and on the way back, Zhang Niu also saw that there were many water snakes in the waterhole. Although it is a little far away, it is still blurry and can be seen a little clearly......

When the village was separated, Zhang Niu went home to catch ducks. Dad, go back and wash the earthen pot.

There were a lot of ducks sleeping in the duck shed, and Zhang Niu decided to catch those naughty people who didn't enter the shed at night this time. After eating one less one, you can save yourself effort.

Carrying the big white duck quacking in his hand. Zhang Niu's heart was so refreshing. You guy. Usually naughty like. I'm out of luck now, I'm going to eat you at noon.

As soon as I plugged in the car key, I saw the fat man driving in the car. And honked the horn.

"Xiao Zhang, this is going up there. Also carrying ducks. The fat man who got out of the car shouted.

"When I go home, in the morning in the paddy field outside the village, I caught some water snakes and planned to mix a duck to make soup." Zhang Niu said very happily.

"Water snake, it's a good thing for spring, then the old brother is not welcome at noon."

Looking at the fat man's big belly, it seems that it is really not good not to ask him to eat with him at noon.

"This is your driver's license. You can see for yourself what you just done," he took out an envelope from his document bag and handed it to Zhang Niu.

After opening the envelope, taking a cursory look at it, "Thank you", and putting it in your pocket.

Since there is a rich fat man car here. Zhang Niu was not going to ride back. Get straight into the car.

The car was parked at the entrance of the village. Zhang Niu carried the duck and walked home. Dad also met Qian Fat Man several times and knew that he was the owner of the fruit tree seller. took out a cigarette and handed it to the fat man.

Dad had just washed the pot next to the well. It's been a long time since I've had a smell to wash. The snake soup is boiled in an earthen pot. The soup can be boiled in an earthen pot, and the taste is better than that of a pressure cooker.

Water snakes are also placed next to wells. Dad found a thick rope at home and tied it around the snake's neck. Hang on a bamboo ladder next to it. Take out a knife, grab the tail of the snake and cut it up. The snakeskin is thin. With a slight stroke, the red flesh is revealed. Cut until the neck of the snake before retracting the knife.

And when he put his hand into the fresh flesh and pulled it out, he heard the slightest sound, and saw the flesh of the snake separated from the skin of the snake. The hanging water snake is not dead, and it spits out its red tongue. Pick up the scissors and cut it lightly around the snake's neck. The basic peeling is also completed.

The fat man looked very energetic. "Uncle Zhang, your skinning is really good. Readily. Agile. ”

After hearing this, Dad laughed and knew that this fat man's fart was still shooting well. The following five water snakes were also easily solved, and the water snake was put in the basin and did not let Zhang Niu pour water, saying that there was still something to do and entered the house.

A few minutes later, Dad came out with a small bowl. "Come, somebody's going to help pull the snake's tail."

Zhang Niu was a little scared. The fat man squatted down and pulled up the snake's tail, cut the snake's body, and pulled out the snake's gall. Carefully turn out a snake gall bladder of about a turquoise little thumb from a pile of internal organs, gently remove it and put it in a bowl. It turns out that if you don't release the water, you don't take the snake gall.

Five turquoise snake gall bladders in a small bowl. All about the same size. Look at the fat man on the side, the eyes of the fat man stared straight at the snake gall. Wash the snake and cut it into pieces. The five snakes look like they are nesting together, and they are cut into pieces and simply put into a small bowl.

When he entered the house, he set the small bowl with snake gall on the table. "Fat man, eat snake gall!" Zhang Niu greeted.

"That's not welcome. I picked up the chopsticks next to me and put one on myself, glued some sugar and swallowed it.

Snake gall is a little fishy. Therefore, the white sugar sticking to the outside is easy to stomach, and the snake gall bladder cannot be eaten too much. Snake gall bladder can clear the eyes and clear the heart. Clear heat and detoxify, the village basically spreads this way whether it is useless or not, Zhang Niu is not very clear, and he has to eat one every year.

Money and fat people don't eat much, there is no benefit to eating too much of this thing, and occasionally eating it can be regarded as a tonic. The remaining three will wait for the mother and sister to come back and eat.

Dad boiled water in the house. Prepare to kill the Great White Duck.

At noon, a pot of snake meat and duck meat is mixed together with some yams, and the aroma comes to the nose. Zhang Niu, who was sitting outside, ran into the kitchen several times.

My little sister is very interested in eating snake meat or something, and I hate it very much to others, but it tastes good in that eyes. Although I am usually afraid of live snakes, I am now mixed with duck meat. Little sister doesn't care if it's a snake or something, eat it first. I already have a lot of snake meat in my bowl. The mouth shouted "It's delicious." Delicious. "The corners of my mouth are stained with oil.

Dad took out a bottle of mountain wine, which was also the last bottle in the family, and relatives and friends basically ate about the same together in the first month, if it wasn't for the lack of wine at home, they would have to take a few bottles back. also asked Zhang Niu to make more mountain wine this year.

The roasted snake meat is very tender. It doesn't smell like a bite and swallows it. Let Zhang Niu feel that less meat is more bones. There were a lot of meat and bones piled up next to the bowl. The money and fat people are all clipping the good meat. It tastes harder than Zhang Niu. Gulping down wine. Does this guy do this when he encounters something delicious?

The fat man who walked out at noon patted the belly of the beer. "This snake meat tastes amazing. Especially when you add that big benzene duck, the taste is ......" made the fat man add the corners of his mouth.

Zhang Niu, who had eaten a lot of snake meat at noon, also nodded again and again. "Yes, if I hadn't gone to the field with my father today, I wouldn't have been able to eat this delicious meat."

The two of them got in the car and went back to Happy Xiaozhu, Zhang Niu still carrying a bag of bones in his hand. It's a bit of a waste to take it and feed the pigs. So Zhang Niu packed them all together and brought them back, and let Xiao Hei eat them slowly.

For the two bamboo pavilions on the water that had just been built, Qian Fat Man was very surprised: "When did you build this bamboo pavilion?" ”

"Just a few days ago, there happened to be a lot of bamboo left here. So I asked them to help build it. ”

"Damn. It was a great place to stay in the summer. No, look at this place and envy ......" said as he pointed.

"That's as good as you say. Go and look at the barren mountain across from me,"

"The barren mountain on the other side is better than you," Qian Fatzi asked a little puzzled.

The fat man came to the top of the slope with Qian and pointed to the bamboo building opposite, "Not bad." The bamboo building in front of me is even better than this, not to mention that it is still busy over there."

"It's exactly what you said. Being rich is different. Invest big. ”

The two of them, a little tired, sat on the grass. Zhang Niu was not afraid of being dirty, lying directly on the grass, looking up at the blue sky, and occasionally a few birds fluttered their wings and flew over.

In the afternoon, the fat man went back, saying that there was business coming to the door, but Zhang Niu heard the loud voice, and it was estimated that the secretary called. It's still a question of what kind of business there is.

Zhang Niu, who was lying on the bed, remembered the frog eggs during the day. I have a lotus flower, and it seems that I have the croaking sound of a frog. After raising this, it is not bad to have a warm boiled frog when you have time.

As soon as it was dark, Zhang Niu carried a bucket and rode a motorcycle to the side of the field. If you see white eggs in a puddle or abandoned pool, you will fish them into a bucket.

Pick up a bucket in a simple morning. Ride home and swap it out with space water. Soak there and put it in the pond in front of the door at night.

Sweeping the floor in front of the door, Zhang Niu saw the little sister and Wenwen who walked in front of the door. "Why do you have time to run my brother here to play today?"

"Brother, I want you to make a kite, okay?" Pulling the corner of the cow clothes and coquettishly.

"Kites? Do you want to put this? ”

"Yes, many people in the village are kite-flying, and I will go kite flying with everyone in the afternoon."

The wind is not very strong in April, suitable for kite flying, the children in the village will make their own kites, and the little girls will call the family to help. Grocery stores sell them but they don't work very well, and everyone likes to make their own flying high.

"That's good. Are you going to make one or two, kites?"

Wenwen discussed with the little sister for a while, and then stretched out two little fingers: "I want two kites." Wenwen one, I want one too"

There are still a few pieces of bamboo left on the side of the bamboo building, which is just enough. I found a big stump and split the bamboo until it was the thickness of the chopsticks. Wenwen and Xiaomei squatted next to them and watched.

People in the village generally use the shape of Tian and Wang to make kites, which is simple and labor-saving, and does not need to be so busy. Zhang Niu decided to make a king-shaped one, and split out eight bamboo strips of similar size, two of which were the longest and the others were relatively short.

After asking them to wait at home, Zhang Niu rode to the village grocery store to buy a few white pieces of paper. By the way, I also bought two bundles of small coils.

Arrange the bamboo strips into a king-shaped shape, and replace the horizontal strip in the middle with a long strip so that the upper and lower sides will be balanced. Tie it with a small cord. Spread out the white paper. Put the king holder on the paper, paste it with paste, paste on it. Xiaomei and Wenwen cut their little tails next to them, or they would sway from side to side after the weight was not enough.

The two king-shaped frames were quickly pasted with a layer of white paper, and the black brushes painted two eye circles on them, and the small mouth was a simple character description.

The rope is also very important, it can only be tied to the first horizontal and the middle horizontal, and it can be cocked when it is put up. You can go up as soon as the wind blows.

Hand the finished kite to Xiaomei and Wenwen. "Be careful not to load it down when you put it down."

The two said "Thank you, brother" in unison

Flying kites is on the path at the head of the village, and when Xiaomei and Wenwen came, many of the little hairy children had already let go of the kites, and a few of them had already been put into the air. There are also a few that have fallen gloriously on a telephone pole. Look at the little hairy boy below, crying.

The little girls who got off the car pulled their kites and ran against the wind. Release a little bit of rope, run against the wind and release the string, and the kite will soon be in the air.

Zhang Niu's kite today is not bad, and there are no light and heavy things. Looking at the kite slowly rising into the air, looking at the happy expression of the little sister who was running.

When one o'clock in the afternoon, more people come to fly kites. The open space at the head of the village is full of little hairy children running.

The little girl who flew the kite, they didn't touch the line, and it was okay. The shadow of the high-flying kite Zhang Niu couldn't see clearly when he looked up, it was too high. It is estimated that the lines in the thread group are all played.

"Stinky cow. You're here too."

Looking back, it was a little flower in the village, a very shy girl, "Yes, I just sent my little sister over"

Xiaohua and Zhang Niu used to be in the same class, and they studied very well, and Xiaohua sat behind Zhang Niu. Zhang Niu's homework of copying Xiaohua has become commonplace.

Zhang Niuyi hadn't met for a long time, and I heard that he was now in college. The small flowers in front of me are long. A white jacket was worn over tight jeans, especially the little face that was shy from time to time.

"When, when did you come back, aren't you in college?"

Xiaohua smiled lightly, "My health has not been very good recently, so I asked for leave to come back to recuperate for a while." Didn't you see the luggage I had in my hand? ”

Zhang Niu smiled embarrassedly. "I didn't see it. Why don't you take a taxi to come in? How tiring it is to walk. ”

"The town said that there was no car to build the road, so I walked back. It's been a long time since I've walked like this on a dirt road. It's good to come back to the village."

"Anyway, it's okay, I'll send you back, it's still a lot of way from the village."

Tie the luggage in Xiaohua's hand to the back seat, "Come on." Come up and take you back. ”

Zhang Niu, who was riding the bike, asked, "Xiaohua." Didn't you tell your mom when you came back? ”

The car was very slow, and the small flowers were still floating, and the black length said, "I'm afraid that my family is worried and I didn't say it." You've been working there lately. Look, your bikes are all new. ”

"It's better to eat and drink at home, or you should go to college." sighed a little.

"Now I know that I have to study well, why did I keep copying my homework in the first place."

Listening to Zhang Niu depressed. "Khan. At that time, it was not easy to talk about learning. ”

Turning through the alley of the village, you will come to a two-story small * bungalow in Xiaohua's house, and Xiaohua's mother is cleaning things in the front yard. I saw the girl in the back of the car. Surprise exclaimed, "Flowey." Why did you come back? ”

Xiaohua's mother looked at Zhang Niu, who was unpacking her luggage, "Zhang Wa." Thank you for sending my daughter back. ”

"Thanks. They used to be old classmates. ”

I saw the mother and daughter reunited. Zhang Niu was also embarrassed to be here, so he made an excuse and quickly rode back.

Today, Zhang Niu was very surprised to meet the little flower who returned to the village. I don't know what kind of illness I have, so I have to go back to the village to recuperate.

Zhang Niu, who was going home, happened to see the little sister who came back hand in hand with a kite.

"Why don't you let it go?" Asked with a smile.

"Brother, if they can't fly kites, we won't play with us. Put them away and run somewhere else," the little sister said angrily.

Sweat...... Why can't this boy let the little girls go, and leave them to run somewhere else, it's too unreasonable.

"It's okay, let's continue to release it tomorrow, they can't afford to lose, shame."

After Zhang Niu said this, the little sister was in a much better mood and returned to a smile on her face.

The boys in the village are just more powerful than themselves, and the girls are not convinced. I can only change places and not let girls join. It's all children, and they lose their temper. Thinking about Zhang Niu, I don't feel a little funny.

Six thousand words to today. Thank you all for your tips last night. Thank you all for your continued support. Any question can be asked.
