Chapter 384: Enjoy Life
The brothers and sisters of the Lai family did more than Erya wanted, and their group of children got into the shelf and shouted to the little guests: "Brother and sister! The melons here aren't ripe yet! It's not delicious and it's not fun, we take you to see a lot of birds, and that's much more fun than here. ”
As soon as Qin Zhizhou's little grandson heard that there were birds to play with, he became energetic, and ran over to ask Lai Mingxun's younger brother: "Are there really birds playing?" Where is it? Take us there! ”
"Good! Come with me! ”
The many birds mentioned by the Lai brothers and sisters are actually bird's nests around the reeds. Because every year in autumn and winter, the reeds on which the birds depend are cut off, and they have to fly to the nest in the shelf to settle for a while, and in the spring and summer they make a nest in the reeds. Year after year, the cycle continued, and gradually those birds settled in this artificial nest. There are fewer and fewer birds that insist on making nests in the reeds, and there are often people under the shelves of artificial nests for birds to eat, and these birds are more and more aware of the nests here. Seeing that more and more birds are living in this artificial bird's nest, those who have laughed at this bird's nest are also secretly annoyed, regretting their ignorance, and now they feel embarrassed every time they see the bird's nest shelf.
Many of these birds can be caught and eaten, such as turtle doves, pigeons, sparrows, quails, wild ducks, wild ducks, wild chickens, among which there are also precious birds, although the Xiaolong family no longer needs to catch birds to make money, but in order to maintain the ecological balance, they do not prevent others from catching birds for sale. There are even two eagles that are specially trained to catch some small birds that breed and overflow, such as sparrows.
The Lai siblings took the children to the nearest artificial bird's nest, where a large grape tress was underneath a tall bird's nest shelf. This is because when Xiaolong is directing the work. I often pass by the bird shelf, and I often fall on the body by bird droppings back and forth, which is very annoying. Later, I came up with a way to put up a grape trellis under the bird's nest shelf. The effect is quite good, and it is rare for people to suffer when they pass by.
It was daytime, and many of the birds had gone to the reeds in search of food, and some of the nests were full of young birds, chirping. Occasionally, a bird flew back to the nest with an insect to feed the young birds, and Qin Zhizhou's little grandson pointed at the bird and yelled when he saw it.
"Big brother! I want that little bird! ”
The grandson of the Lai family replied to him: "This bird can't be caught, people have children to feed!" There are a lot of birds in Erdan's house. His father also made a bird cage to keep it, and when you left, let the owner help you get a talking one. His father allowed it! ”
The little girl who came with Little Master Qin shouted as a result: "Talking birds, I also have them at home!" They're not fun at all, they scream 'hello, hello', and they're annoyed. ”
"It could be that your birds are not being trained. If this bird is well trained. I can say a lot of words, and some of them can be used in ancient poems! ”
"Not really! It's just that the birds are not good. My stinky bird is" The girl was interrupted by the mother who came after her before she could finish speaking: "Bao! What to say? Not happy anymore? ”
was asked by her mother, and the little girl who didn't feel wronged was red and uncomfortable. When her mother saw her like this, she was busy bending down and reaching out to pat her daughter's little face gently, "Okay, okay! It's all because the bird is not good, and my mother will drive the bird out when she comes home. ”
Her parrot was originally a plaything given to the master by others, and the bird could not say much, and it would not stop. Let's say a few words to the guests. It's beside it all the time 'Hello Hello! Sometimes the guest speaks in a low voice and can't be heard clearly. The annoying panic was given to this little daughter to play. The youngest daughter was so happy to get the parrot that her father gave her that she carried the bird cage around. As a result, the eldest daughter was fed every day, and the parrot was abducted after seven or eight days. Who knew that the parrot would say a lot of things in the eldest daughter's place for less than half a year, which made the younger daughter so angry that she couldn't do it, and when she saw people, she said that the parrot was not good, but she didn't expect to mention this stubble again when she came here today. The reason why she interrupted and didn't let her daughter say it was just because she didn't want outsiders to misunderstand that her youngest daughter didn't get along well with her sister. In fact, she knew very well that her youngest daughter was really annoyed with the parrot and had no opinion on her sister at all. But you can't be presumptuous and explain it to others! In this way, the suspicion of 'there are no three hundred taels of silver here' is confirmed.
The child's temper comes and goes quickly, and when her mother interrupts her like this, she immediately forgets about arguing with others. He didn't care whether her mother was telling the truth or fooling her, so she happily followed a large group of children to another bird's nest to watch the birds. The ladies followed Erya as they strolled along the path, looking at the green rice fields in the distance on the right and the reeds and vast lotus fields in the distance on the left. Although it is not a strange beauty, in this season of life, all the creatures of the earth, even the weeds on the roadside, exude a dazzling charm. What's more, this reed swing also adds artificially elaborate painstaking efforts in it?! While admiring the natural beauty of the countryside near and far, the artificial beauty of lotus fields and flower islands, the women expressed their joy and comfort brought by the scenery in front of them. It's a little more fun than just the men who wander around the lotus fields and flower islands.
The children ran around to eat quickly, and before it was time to eat, they ran to their mothers one by one to call out that they were hungry. The women had not finished turning the reed-swamping embankment, so they had to concentrate on walking so that the children would no longer look at the scenery, and hurried back to let the children eat first. Fortunately, the on-the-go ordering method prepared by the host's family is very special, and there is no need to wait for the old man to come back and have a banquet together.
Ordering food at noon can teach children to have fun, because the restaurant changes the kind that is used to scoop as much as you want. Instead, a small, super cute, deep-mouthed ceramic bowl is filled with the same kinds of meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, steamed eggs, steamed rice, and steamed pot soup.
These are not counted, there is a very small hot pot that only one person eats in another hall, as well as beef vermicelli casserole, etc., and there are lamb skewers, beef skewers, roast chicken with lotus leaves and yellow mud, roast duck, many of which I haven't seen last night.
Because meat products are not easy to store, such as lamb skewers, beef skewers or something, they don't dare to prepare too much every day, so they don't wait for dark, so they call the first guests to consume them. In addition, when these children came with the adults in the family last night, it was already quite late, and they were busy settling in and staying, so they were busy for a while, and they only needed to ensure that there were meat and vegetarian food in terms of eating and drinking, but they were not so thoughtful.
Maybe I didn't expect that there would be so much food that I had never seen before, so I would be so surprised. However, it is useless for the children to be surprised and excited, they are just full of eyes, the belly is too small, they want everything when they see it, and their stomachs are so swollen that they can't even drink saliva when they can't eat much. There is also a staring at the fruit after the meal, and I can't eat it!
Erya looked at the pitiful and regretful expressions of the children with a smile, and said to them with a smile: "Don't worry! Wait until your stomach is empty, and then come back and eat again. These can be asked for by the brothers at the bar at any time, and there are a lot of them prepared today, and some of them you can eat! ”
"Oh! Play it! As soon as the little grandson of the Qin family heard that there was still one, he no longer bothered, and led his younger brothers and sisters to run out to find someone to play with joy.
Lai Mingxun's younger siblings are tasked with their little playmates today and accompany today's little guests to have a good time, so lunch is also eaten here. At this time, the little guests had already run out of the room where the female guests were entertained, and they also hurriedly took the unfinished meal into their mouths, and then hurriedly ran out with the little guests.
The women had finished eating, sitting there chatting and gossiping, and the men came back to catch lunch. The scenery is soothing, the food is pleasant, and the atmosphere is heightened by the men's view of the fact that there are so many dishes to choose from in the restaurant.
In the afternoon, the male guests enjoy the pastoral scenery on the periphery, and the female guests enjoy the lotus fields and flower islands in the reeds. At this time, it will be found that the treatment of female guests is different, because in the pavilion floating on the water, there will be melodious and soothing or flute solo, or guzheng solo, or two ensembles, as well as gourd silk and guqin ensembles, erhu and flute ensembles. With background music in the background, this scenery is not only a visual beauty seen by the eyes, but also a wonderful fantasy heard by the ears.
The male guests on the periphery also heard from afar, whether near or far, or flute or guzheng or gourd silk or guqin or erhu from afar, and the feeling of being in the ears was even more psychedelic. They had forgotten to walk, and one by one they stood there and listened, whispering about what kind of tune this was and what it was.
The day passed quickly, and when the sun was setting and it was getting dark, everyone moved to the roof of the building and set up a bonfire in a large pot filled with plant ash. The men were in a circle, and the women and children were in a circle. First, fireworks were set off, and although many colorful fireworks flashed away, they still left people with beautiful memories.
The children here are still wailing and setting off fireworks, and the people over there are already drinking and eating skewers. The students ate skewers and drank sake, and gradually gained the courage to think of poems for the past few days and recite them aloud with the strength of the wine. There are one and two, and each student is rushing to give full play to his talents. They all know that tomorrow the governor and the prefect and the county will order them to leave, and if they don't show themselves at this time to make themselves earn a good face in front of these officials, it will be difficult to encounter such an opportunity in the future.
The female guests did not wait for their respective lords to go back to the room together, they ate and drank well, and took the maid and the child back to rest. When I got up the next day, I found out that the male guest didn't go back to the house to sleep until dawn.
Mrs. Qin meant to let Qin Zhizhou sleep before leaving, but Qin Zhizhou was in a hurry to go back. It was out of place to leave the yamen for a day and two nights for personal matters, and the most important thing was that his eldest son also came, otherwise he would be in charge at home, and he would be able to rest here for half a day.
As soon as Qin Zhizhou left, of course, the other officials had to leave. Those who were near were in carriages, and those in the distance, such as Meng County Ling and Wang Zhifu, were in a hurry and had to ride back on horseback. Because they hadn't slept all night, it was really dangerous to ride horses, and Xiaohu knew that he couldn't keep people, so he arranged for the guards to drive their carriage to the palace.
