Chapter 072: Happy Life
After Huang Laoshi was summoned by his daughter, there was no stopping.
At the end of the next evening, the cuckoo urged him to chop firewood.
It wasn't until he chopped the pile of firewood and played with it all into a stack of firewood like Feng Changshun said, that the cuckoo praised him fiercely, and for this reason, he asked Ren Sanhe for a rabbit.
Ren Sanhe was very surprised.
The cuckoo was unashamed to fold his fingers and said to him: "I want a small shovel, a small hoe, a small knife, a small net, a small basket, a small basket, ......."
Ren Sanhe asked the little girl softly: "What do you want these for?" β
The cuckoo smiled and said, "Yes." β
If he says a bunch of tricks, he shouldn't be stunned. Just don't say anything, that is. Since she is guarding her, it is easier to get this thing than to get fox skin.
Don't you know that Ren Sanhe is depressed.
The cuckoo really wants fox skin, and he is really easy to get; Although these things are not valuable, it is really not easy for him to find them at the moment.
For this reason, he went out of the mountains to get them all.
Later, he sent pheasants several times in a row, all of them were alive and had very beautiful feathers, and the locals called them "red pheasants".
Huang's wish to eat chickens was not fulfilled at all, and these chickens were all cut off by Feng and fed as chickens.
She finally understood that her daughter really wanted to raise chickens.
Regardless of whether she can cultivate it or not, she knows that she cares about her family at a young age, which makes her heart extra soft and likes her more and more. Compared with the cuckoo, Huang Que'er, her daughter, seems to have picked it up.
In addition, Feng's preference for cuckoos is also because this girl is too caring.
She stubbornly pestered Huang Laoshi and cut off all the firewood into firewood handles, and then stared at him to do other things. Often used to call in that soft and glutinous voice:
"Daddy, feed the pigs."
"Daddy. There was no water in the tank. β
"Dad, help my mother carry a bundle of firewood back."
"Daddy. Send this bag of beans to the attic. β
β¦β¦
In short, she stared at all the work at home, and assigned all the heavy work to Huang Laoshi, and she and Huang Qi'er also did what they could, and Feng didn't need her to assign it at all.
So, everything fell into order.
If Huang Laoshi didn't listen once, Feng would scold in a loud voice.
Because, she found that the cuckoo was better than her own arrangement.
Besides, Huang Laoshi was also very cheerful when he was driven by the cuckoo. He is like a donkey pulling a mill. Blindfolded, with a carrot hanging in front of him, he kept chasing around. You can't eat that carrot until you're done with your work.
This carrot is the game that Ren Sanhe beats.
As long as the cuckoo opens his mouth, Ren Sanhe will send it; If you don't want a cuckoo, you won't send it to Ren Sanhe.
Huang honestly felt that such a day had a rush.
Every morning and evening, the cuckoo welcomes his father and mother at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing that Huang Laoshi and Feng Shi were back, Lao Yuan shouted "Dad!" Mother! β
Huang Laoshi was completely "domesticated" by her, and when he heard her shout. He shouted "Oh!" Girl! βοΌ Feng Shi lowered her eyelids and deliberately kept a straight face, she was embarrassed to show her feelings too much, unless it was when she was excited.
Not only called daddy. When he saw someone else, the cuckoo also shouted.
"Aunt Lin is back?"
"Uncle Big Head."
"Brother Qiusheng."
β¦β¦
Lin Datou immediately laughed so much that his mouth was as sharp as a lotus, and he promised to jump crisply.
Without him, because the cuckoo never called him before. He didn't have a good face either.
I don't know what's going on today, but it's probably a mouthful. I didn't have time to stop, so I screamed out. can make Lin Datou happy.
It seems that Miss Du has no potential to be a villain.
Everyone looked at the look of regret on Lin Datou's face after the cuckoo called it, and they all laughed.
Qiusheng, a bit of a "machismo" boy, also likes the cuckoo very much, every time he goes home, he will bring a knowing or a big grasshopper tied to the grass for her to play, and today he actually took out a flyless bird for her like a treasure.
The cuckoo found it difficult to resist the hospitality.
She likes Jiu'er's toys because they are carved like works of art; But she's not a child, she's really not interested in playing with this grasshopper, grasshopper, bird or something.
So, she flashed her dark eyes and said to Qiusheng: "Play for Lin Chun." β
As if playing a trick, Qiusheng took out another bird from his pocket and said, "There is another one here." This one is for you to play with. β
The cuckoo's beak pumped: Make people "scattered and scattered", this baby ......
In order to save the bird, she had to take it first.
There was an old man who was herding cattle and did not pass by the door of Huang's house, but walked on the path on the other side of the ditch. Every morning and evening, I saw this slender little girl doll standing at the door and shouting, her little mouth was very sweet, and she thought it was funny, so she waved to her from afar.
The cuckoo immediately said crisply: "Grandpa, are you back from herding the cattle?" β
The old man was pleased, jumped off the back of the ox and ran over, and carefully took out a handful of red wild fruits from his pocket and gave it to her. This is for the grandson, and half of it comes out.
The cuckoo took it, threw one into his mouth and tasted it, looked up and smiled: "Sweet." Xie Lu Xie Grandpa. β
The old man was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard Qiusheng exclaim, "The cow has run away, Grandpa Sun." β
Sun Laohan was busy, turned around and went to chase the bull, while not forgetting to turn back to Huang Laoshi and his wife: "Honest, you girl is so good." β
That's the best compliment.
Huang Laoshi and Feng both felt that they had more face.
Cuckoo is like this, not to attract popularity and curry favor, but she likes to stand at the gate of the courtyard morning and evening, watching the people in the mountain village "make at sunrise and rest at sunset", and the leisurely scene of walking on the country road is like a painting.
Ahem!
She admits that she is a bit petty, and her life has been like this, and she still admires poetry and painting.
But the spring water village is really beautiful in the morning and evening.
Well, it's beautiful at other times, too!
At that moment, the cuckoo took his father's sleeve into the courtyard, stared at the small basket in his hand and asked, "Dad, how many small fish did you get today?" β
Huang Laoshi laughed loudly: "I get a lot today, there are always seven or eight taels." β
The cuckoo was about to speak, and Feng asked, "Cuckoo, the chicken has laid a few eggs today." β
The cuckoo was immediately in good spirits. Tell her, "Twelve." The two wild hens also laid eggs. β
Feng Shi was happy to hear this, and turned around and asked, "Can you take it out and put it alone?" β
The cuckoo shook his head and said, "No." But I recognize it. Be smaller. It's bloodshot on it. β
Feng nodded and said, "You go and bring it, I'll steam you and eat it." The first-born egg is the most supplemental. Take out three more. Stir-fry leeks in the evening. Is your sister's rice cooked? β
The cuckoo hurriedly said, "It's cooked." Just wait for my mother to come back and stir-fry. Mother, let's burn mushrooms at night. I want to eat mushrooms. β
After speaking, he smiled and winked at Huang Laoshi, meaning that the meat was served at night.
Huang Laoshi was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
The food at home is getting better and better, and he is working hard.
At that moment, the cuckoo went to the house and took five eggs and handed them to Feng, and Feng went to the kitchen to get busy; The yellow finch and the cuckoo were busy with the little fish; Huang Laoshi threw off his arms and gathered the corn and other things in the yard.
Raising chickens with fishmeal is still productive.
Small fish should be cleaned up, otherwise they will be easy to rot their stomachs and attract flies when they are dry. Small fish and shrimp after they are dried thoroughly. They were ground with stones and mixed with weeds, wheat bran, and other miscellaneous things to feed the chickens.
It's still the same as feeding the chickens, but it's just a diligent service, and there is no technical content at all, because the cuckoo doesn't know how to do it.
At present, the Huang family has 35 chickens. Thirty-two of them were hens, and twelve had already laid their eggs.
Don't think it's easy, usually there are only a dozen, or even a few, and there are only about two dozen of them. The cuckoo family is a "big chicken farmer".
Because there are many things to do in the farm, raising chickens and pigs is incidental, no one will spend a lot of effort on it, and there is not much to feed.
For example, raising chickens. A nest of eggs can hatch up to about 20 chicks. If the service is not good, it is too common for a few chicks to die. Wait for it to be bigger, and run around. It's easy to lose, and I don't know if it's caused by cats and dogs. Still bitten by a weasel. And those who died of illness are not counted. bumps and bumps, and when they all grow up. The rooster is to be killed, and only the hen is kept to lay the eggs.
After being eliminated all the way, how much can be left?
The cuckoo was very guilty, because these chickens and yellow finches were much more tired than before.
Of course, she was not lazy: when the chickens were young, she stood guard at the gate of the yard and did not allow them to go out of the houseβfor fear that they would not come back; and stared at the cats and dogs of the house, and did not allow them to harm the chickens; She didn't dare to keep the chickens in lock, for fear of getting sick when they were crowded together, and they would poop all over the yard, so she followed behind to clean up.
In this way, a lot of dung was dumped and used to cultivate her sunflowers.
She planted a dozen sunflowers under the courtyard wall.
At that time, he was also scolded by Feng, saying that a yard of chickens, this thing will definitely not grow. So, she looked at the chickens again and didn't let them peck the sunflowers.
Alas, she really thinks that the countryside is not easy to mix, so far she has realized that "who knows that Chinese food is hard work." The true connotation.
Fortunately, five chicks died, and the rest finally grew up; The sunflowers also hung down on the large sunflower plates, and they were about to be harvested.
The impact of this achievement is that Feng recognized the actions of the two sisters and no longer scolded them for not doing serious things. Huang honestly went to work in the field and brought a basket to pocket small fish.
Let's say that in front of him, after the cuckoo and Huang Que'er finished cleaning up the small fish, Huang Laoshi also finished moving all the things in the yard, and Feng Shi also happened to call for dinner.
So, Huang honestly sat down on the table with a smile.
At this time, he is the most image of the head of the family.
The cuckoo and the yellow finch flew around the hall and the kitchen like little birds, helping Feng Shi to serve food and carry dishes and chopsticks, very energetic, and did not feel hard.
Feng Shi was not at ease, and stopped in a loud voice: "Cuckoo, you put it there." Beat the bowl and see if I don't hit you. β
The cuckoo grinned and ignored her.
After all the dishes are arranged, there are four dishes: a bowl of fried autumn eggplant with red pepper, a bowl of steamed eggs, a bowl of fried eggs with leeks, and a bowl of mushrooms.
At the moment, Huang Laoshi is above, Feng is below, and Du Juan and Huang Que are on the left, and everyone is sitting down to eat.
Feng put the bowl of steamed eggs with a golden color and like jelly pudding directly in front of the cuckoo, "Eat the eggs first, and then drink the corn paste." β
The cuckoo nodded, cut it in half from the middle of the egg with a wooden spoon, and motioned to the yellow finch, "Sister, let's eat." It's the firstborn egg. β
The yellow finch approached and scooped with her.
This is not the first time this scene, and Feng likes it too.
After all, Huang Que'er is her daughter, if the cuckoo is domineering and eats alone, I am afraid that she will not be so favored.
Huang Laoshi first took a large piece of leek omelette and put it in his mouth, ate it, sighed with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "The rest of the hens should lay eggs in a few days." It's been raising for so many days. β
The cuckoo ate half of his eggs in two bites, and then picked up the corn paste, and said viciously: "If they don't lay eggs, they will kill and eat." Save food in vain. β
When Huang Laoshi heard this, he hurriedly said to Feng: "Mother, let's kill that rooster." It's useless to keep it, and it's still fighting. β
The yellow finch and the cuckoo couldn't help but smile at each other. (To be continued......)
