The shadow of Xianyuntan is long, and the stars move a few degrees in autumn.

In a blink of an eye, two years have passed, and Wang Jing has changed from a toddler to a three-year-old girl, still a chubby doll, with fine skin and tender meat, pink and pink, very cute.

The scorching sun is near, and the river embankment and mountains are green. Eight-year-old Liu Yongan came with the swaying Wang Jing to catch fish.

Liu Yongan carried a bamboo basket, threw a stone in the basket, picked up a few snails from the water's edge and smashed them with stones, threw them in the basket, sank into the water, and after a while, quietly lifted the basket, there were more or less fresh live fish jumping in the basket.

The fish caught in this way are mostly crucian carp and white strips, and they are specially selected to throw two or three heavy ones into the fish basket, and go back to cook soup.

said that it was catching fish, but in fact it was playing, but Wang Jing didn't dare to go into the water, so she fed a group of chickens under the shade of a tree on the side, and there was a big yellow dog lying next to her.

There are not too many children's toys in the farmhouse, and on weekdays, feeding chickens and dogs is regarded as playing.

Zhang not only has dogs, cats, ducks, geese, and pigs. Small animals other than pigs are usually taken care of by Liu Yongan and Wang Jing.

The Liu family's house faces south and backs to north, the main house is four houses, the east side is the kitchen, and the pig shed is under the kitchen. On the west side are the cowsheds, straw sheds and toilets, and due south is the gate, and there are also three houses. There is a shadow wall in the yard, there is a well, and there is a large flower bed, the moon season and the peony are blooming brightly, and the persimmons and pomegranates in the horns have already hung fruit.

To the west of the yard is his own vegetable garden.

The family has a total of 20 acres of land, all of which are planted by themselves, fed two cows, and hired short-term workers to plow the land and harvest when the farm is busy. Zhang is a capable man, not only arranging the work in the field in an orderly manner, but also growing a half-acre vegetable garden that is particularly attractive.

Vines such as loofahs, bitter gourds, gourds, and pumpkins are planted along the ridges of the garden, and green leeks, green onions, eggplants, beans, peppers, amaranth, tomatoes, and nepeta are planted in the middle.

The wheat has just been harvested, the autumn crops have been planted, the vegetable garden only needs to be watered, said to be watering, in fact, it is to bring the water in the pond to bring over, the ditch is shoveled early in the morning, directly open the blocked hole, just watch the water don't spread everywhere.

After drawing the water, Zhang went to the sand below to pick a watermelon, washed it with stream water and put it on the grass, raised his fist and punched it, and the watermelon cracked, revealing a bright red melon sac.

"Brother An, fat, come and eat watermelon!" Zhang raised his hand briskly and shouted.

As soon as Liu Yongan heard that he was eating watermelon, he immediately threw down the fish basket, hugged his sister, and came over in three steps and two steps.

"It's a sand bag, it's very sweet, it's very sweet." As he spoke, he took out a wooden spoon from his pocket, gently scooped a spoonful of melon sacs from the side, wiped the spoon, and then scooped the middle one, picked out the melon seeds, and fed Wang Jing bite by bite.

In the middle of summer, eating sweet and juicy watermelon is the best way to cool off.

In the Liu family's melon orchard, there are not only watermelons, but also melons, but Wang Jing has never been able to eat that.

In fact, Wang Jing felt very satisfied. The current life is not bad, the self-sufficient farm yard, the so-called small bridge and flowing water are nothing more than that.

Shutai's comfortable life can raise such a little fat man, Wang Jing doesn't mind everyone calling her "fat".

Before Liu Yongan finished feeding Wang Jing, Zhang's half had already finished gnawing, so he went over and brought the bamboo basket and fish basket together, picked some vegetables, and went into the yard.

Before leaving, he told his son, "Take care of my sister, don't go to the water's edge, don't be naughty, and come back to drink fish soup later." ”

Zhang's fish soup is not only delicious, but also in good condition, at a glance, it is like milk, and the brother and sister went back after eating watermelon because they were worried about drinking the soup.

As soon as Wang Jing entered the door, he saw Liu Chengfang squatting on the ground, sighing and looking at his baby fighting.

The chicken's back and neck feathers are bright red, and the leg feathers are black and the breast feathers are flower-tailed. Liu Chengfang named his baby chicken, Hongguang.

Hongguang was entangled all day long, high-spirited, but somehow, today he shrunk his neck, drooped his wings, and looked wilted. Not only that, but Liu Chengfang took the grasshopper and fed it, and it didn't eat it.

In Wang Jing's previous life, her parents were breeders, so she knew a little bit about the chicken, and knew that the chicken was sick.

But Wang Jing had been going to school at that time, and she was in a car accident before she could find a job after graduation, and she didn't know much, and her current identity was a three-year-old girl, so she didn't dare to say anything.

"When I first came back, Cao Lei was plucking chicken feathers on the side of the road, and there were three chickens on the side, so it couldn't be that the chicken plague had committed it again." Zhang said.

Cao Lei is five years old this year, is the next door neighbor of the Liu family, the family only has two acres of land, his father is out all the year round to do long-term work for others, at this time is not the New Year's holiday, who is willing to kill three chickens at a time, there is no doubt that the chickens died by themselves.

A large number of chickens died for no reason, and they could only have infectious diseases.

If it is really an infectious disease, the Cao family's chickens will die, and they will soon be infected to the Liu family, which is only separated by a wall.

Generally speaking, chickens with infectious diseases must be buried, but Wang Jing felt that if she told Cao Lei like this, it was very likely that she would be beaten out, so she had to give up.

But chicken plague is by no means a trivial matter, generally speaking, a chicken with a disease will infect a group, then next to each other's homes, then a Zhuangzi, and then a nearby Zhuangzi, which can almost make all the chickens die within a radius of dozens of miles. Not only chickens, but also birds can be contagious.

Liu Chengfang's fighting has been raised for more than two years, and his feelings are very deep. I remember that it snowed heavily last year, and in order to be afraid of the cold chickens, I deliberately slept in my arms at night, so that Zhang didn't let him enter the house. Even if Zhang didn't let him enter the house, Liu Chengfang didn't leave the chicken alone, and directly took the bed quilt and slept on the haystack of the cowshed for a long time.

It can be said that Liu Chengfang is more affectionate and loving to this chicken than Wang Jing and Liu Yongan. Now that I heard that it is chicken plague, does that mean that the chicken is sentenced to death? These words were even more cruel than asking for his life, and he couldn't help but be very angry.

"Fart! How can it be chicken plague, not all of our chickens are fine. He said.

He felt that he was too precious to Hongguang, and Zhang had an opinion, so he deliberately cursed it. was so angry that his face turned white, his lips trembled badly, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was desperate to find someone.

Zhang saw that he was a little anxious, and he didn't dare to say any more.

But in the evening, there was also a hen at home that was laying eggs in the same situation as Hongguang, and now not only Liu Chengfang was anxious, but even Zhang's was also anxious.

Although Liu Chengfang did Lizheng, but Da Zhou is a country where "raising cattle for farming, raising pigs for the New Year, and raising chickens for oil and salt money", although the Liu family still has a few spare money in their hands, but Liu Yongan and Wang Jing are growing up, and Zhang's usually rely on the eggs laid by hens to supplement their nutrition. Besides, relatives come and go, especially Tian Ding, the congratulatory gift must be to send eggs, as little as dozens, more than two or three hundred, if these chickens are dead, like them for a lot of entertainment, just buying eggs is a big expense.

Wang Jing saw that Zhang's was anxious, and hurriedly said: "I saw that Jiyun's chickens were also like this, her mother smashed mung beans and garlic, fed them to the chickens, and spread mugwort leaves in the chicken coop, and I heard that she also fed yellow lotus, skullcap, and honeysuckle boiled water to drink." ”

Liu Chengfang was worried that the chicken was sick and in a bad mood, so how could he have the leisure to listen to a three-year-old baby, so he simply pretended not to hear.

Although Zhang's didn't believe it very much, but mung beans and garlic were available at home, and they were commonly used, so he took them out at once, put them in a bowl and mashed them with a rolling pin, caught the hen who was crowing and shaking his head, broke his mouth, pinched some pounded mung beans and garlic and fed them, and found the mugwort leaves cut back from the Dragon Boat Festival, and directly lit them to the chicken and smoked them, and then covered it in the chicken cover.

When Liu Chengfang saw it, he was a little moved, "Feed my chicken a little too." As he spoke, he broke the chicken's mouth.

Zhang had to feed Hongguang mung bean garlic puree.

But Liu Chengfang didn't smoke it with mugwort like Zhang's, but went to the pharmacy on the street to buy yellow lotus, skullcap, and honeysuckle back, boiled the medicine and mixed it with food and fed it to Hongguang, but he didn't expect it to be better after two days.

Liu Chengfang saw that Hongguang was well, so he mixed the remaining potion with sorghum and fed it to the local chickens at home.

It is estimated that Hongguang is not good at eating, and this medicine will have to be poured out by her husband, but it is a pity that this man, who has never handed a handful of firewood to the family and burned a fire, has now boiled medicine for several hours for a fighting.

"You're also getting back to the light." She said to the chickens.

Before the words were finished, Ji Yun's mother came to visit the door, her marriage was introduced by the Zhang family, and the two of them were in the same place, and it was said that they were still old relatives, so they were a little closer than others.

As soon as Ji Yun's mother entered the gate, she said, "There are still so many chickens in your family, and our family is almost dead." "I was very envious.

Zhang originally wanted to say that the reason why the chickens in the family did not die was because of their family's blessings, but now it sounds like this.

However, Fei Fei is still a three-year-old child, and it is not necessary to be wrong.

"This is all the credit of the fertilizer, and I don't know where to visit, I saw people mashing mung beans with garlic and feeding them, and came back to tell me, but I didn't expect it to be good." Zhang said.

Ji Yun's mother won't visit the door now, "Then I'll go back and try it quickly, and come back to play with my sister another day." ”

Zhang had just sent Jiyun and her mother away, only to see her husband come back happily, "Stir-fry two dishes in the evening, let's drink for a few minutes." ”

Liu Chengfang doesn't drink much, but now he offered to drink for a few minutes, and Zhang's heart moved, "Could it be that today is a good day?"

"Of course it's a good day, I'm promoted!" Liu Chengfang said happily.
