Chapter 5 Leisurely Days
Xia Wencai was stopped by Zhao Qinglian as soon as he got home: "Hey, my good son, why are you like this, did you meet a beast?" Yes, not hurt, come and see me. "After speaking, I pulled Xia Wencai to look east and west." Oops, something, scared the old lady to death! Zhao Qinglian, who was checking on her son, was startled by the small head that suddenly emerged from her son's clothes.
Seeing his mother patting her chest in shock, Xia Wencai looked at her tattered clothes with a wry smile and said, "It's not that this little thing's parents are harmed." After speaking, he hugged Xiaobai out.
Zhao Qinglian saw Xiaobai in her son's hand, with pure white hair, looking at her with a pair of watery eyes, and put a little finger in her mouth to suck, snatched it and held it in her arms. "What kind of sin did I say, what do you do when you snatch other people's little monkeys back, other people's parents don't know what to do in a hurry."
"What was snatched back, this is the godson I recognize, and his parents took the initiative to admit it to me."
Seeing that Zhao Qinglian didn't believe it, Xia Wencai told Zhao Qinglian about what happened before.
"Really? Are monkeys so smart? Zhao Qinglian asked suspiciously.
"Of course it's true, with your old wisdom, I can fool you, haven't you listened to what others often say about monkey spirits." After that, he took it out of the basket and put the two dead hares in the kitchen.
After Xia Wencai came out, he saw Zhao Qinglian smiling so much that her mouth couldn't close together, and her mouth kept screaming, "Good grandson, obedient grandson." This little monkey is also smart, stretching out two small pink hands to look for lice on Zhao Qinglian's arm, everyone in the village knows that this is a monkey's gesture of affection.
Xia Wencai muttered in his mouth: "Sycophant! “
The old mother turned around and slapped him: "Get out, it looks like you're still a milk baby, why don't you go to Zhang Degui's house to buy a bottle of milk and come back, don't you see Xiaobai hungry?" ”
Xia Wencai was speechless, "Mom, I only fed it before I came back, so let's buy it tomorrow morning." After saying that, he went back to the house, it seems that the old man is going crazy with his grandson, and he usually uses a little money to be careful and calculated, and now he is so generous to buy milk.
When he returned to the house, Xia Wencai immediately entered the space, only to see that the inside had changed greatly from a few days ago, now it was green, the fruit trees and other plants had grown a lot, and the cabbage or something was fully ripe.
Seeing that the space and land were full, Xia Wencai had to pull out some small cabbage, clean up a small piece of land, and then plant 5 wild ginseng and dozens of seeds indiscriminately, and then poured a few handfuls of water. Wild ginseng is probably only two or three years old, but the time in the space and the outside are 10:!, and planting it in it for a year is equivalent to 10 years of ginseng outside, Xia Wencai is still quite satisfied.
The wild tea tree dug 4, and also planted two in the space, and then went to the field to see the fish and lobsters, the previous small fry now have a palm long, lobsters are similar, and I also saw that the small fish are being plagued by lobsters, Xia Wencai doesn't care, anyway, the fry put a lot, not afraid of being eaten up, and then turned around and went out of the space.
Then go out and prepare to plant the remaining two tea trees and mulberry saplings in the yard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw my mother enjoying lying on the bamboo chair, Xiaobai was standing on her shoulder looking for lice in her hair, and Xia Wencai was speechless for a while with a look of enjoyment on her mother's face.
Xiaobai saw Xia Wencai appear, so he climbed down from his mother, and then staggered to Xia Wencai, grabbed his trouser leg and climbed to his shoulder, although it was still a baby, but it was already very flexible.
Xia Wencai happily touched Xiaobai's head twice, and Xiaobai narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.
Seeing Xiaobai running away, my mother was not happy now, "Stinky boy, Bai hurts you, hum!" "What are you pouting, you still plant tea trees, do you know how to fry tea?" Hey, you also plant mulberry trees, such small seedlings, when can you plant them to eat the fruit. "Now my mother is a professional in finding faults, and she doesn't like anything, so she goes to the kitchen to prepare for cooking.
After Xia Wencai planted it, he watered it next to him, and the cucumbers in the yard also bloomed, and Xia Wencai was stunned when he walked in front of the tomato field, the general tomato grew to the height of a child at most, that is, about one meter, but the tomato in front of him had grown to Xia Wencai's neck, Xia Wencai was 1.75 meters tall, that is to say, the tomato had grown to about 1.5 meters, and now the green tomato was the size of a fist.
After cleaning up, Xia Wencai went to take a shower, changed into a white-washed sportswear, and prepared to eat.
A pot of fragrant braised rabbit meat, a plate of cabbage, and a cold eggplant on the dinner table are already very rich for rural people.
Dad also came back from the field, Mom is now angry, the dinner table keeps giving Xia Wencai rabbit meat, Xia Wencai felt a burst of pantothenic acid, now for a child from primary school to college tuition is ridiculously high, not to mention that he also has a sister who also finished junior high school, now although married, but it is not a little money, the family has been relying on farming and dad weaving bamboo baskets to maintain, where can I provide for the expenses of the two children, the price of vegetables has only begun to rise in recent years, so the family has a lot of bad accounts, although Xia Wencai has been in class for a while, but it hasn't been paid off yet, and the family is naturally frugal at home.
This is still Xia Wencai back home only two more dishes, if the old couple is usually at home, generally one or two small dishes is a meal, eat meat at most twice a month, and buy cheap knife-edge meat, Xia Wencai is actually very economical to go to school, he is not willing to buy a mobile phone when he goes to college, anyway, he is useless in the whole class, and he also uses classmates to call his family, and the mobile phone on his body is still after work, and he often has to contact his leaders and colleagues, so he spent 500 yuan to buy a domestic mobile phone, although it is ugly, but it is fully functional, Xia Wencai is a treasure.
At the dinner table, my father was also very curious about Xiaobai, and I was surprised after asking the origin, it was rare to have rabbit meat today, my father took out his bulk liquor and tasted it carefully, Xia Wencai also poured half a bowl, and drank with my father, Xia Wencai drank wine or the college roommate church, often bought back to the dormitory, and drank peanuts at night, and then my father didn't say anything after he knew, but thought that a man should drink, only my mother pulled my ears a few times and it was over.
"This small dish is not bad, old woman, you are good at this skill." During the banquet, Dad spoke.
"Nonsense, my mother's craftsmanship is the top in the village, and I knew who came to my house to eat twice and often helped my family work, and I couldn't drive away, so I was not ashamed." Mom proudly began to talk about someone's past.
Dad didn't mind, but was proud. After taking a bite, my mother also sighed, "No, it seems to be much better than usual, I do the same as before, and I think the dishes during this time are much better than before, but they are not as delicious as today, is it really a long craft?" Mom was also puzzled, first thought it was my dad to please her, casually said, how do you know that the taste is really good, after saying that, the rabbit will not eat, so I will eat the little cabbage.
Of course, Xia Wencai would not say that it was taken out of his space, and after eating two bites, he found that there was a very special taste, which made people have a great appetite, and it was a grade better than the vegetables grown after diluting the space water in the field.
Early the next morning, Xia Wencai felt an itch in his chest, and reflexively grabbed it with his hand, only to feel that he had caught a fluffy thing, and he woke up as soon as he was excited, and then looked at Xiaobai crawling on his chest with a smile. Because he likes to sleep naked and only wears a pair of shorts, he let Xiaobai succeed.
"Get out of here, you little thing, Lao Tzu is your father, not your mother, eat a fart." After scolding, he grabbed it away and got up with his clothes on.
Xia Wencai also knew that Xiaobai was hungry, so he went out to Zhang Degui's house to buy milk, his cows produced good milk, and the families with better conditions in the village all loved to give the baby a bottle in the morning, the milk was in glass bottles, a bottle for a dollar, it was not expensive, but for the countryside, it was also a luxury.
After going home and boiling it in a pot, put it in front of Xiaobai, who knew that it would turn its head away when it asked.
Xia Wencai was angry: "You dog, Lao Tzu didn't have this treatment when he was a child, if you don't eat it, you will be a loser." "I slapped two hands on the little white buttocks.
In the end, Xia Wencai found the reason, and after mixing some space water, Xiaobai drank it all in one go, it seems that this little thing is the same as he is now, and everything has to be produced by space.
In the next few days, Xia Wencai began to be a farmer again, carrying water, catching insects, weeding, other people's tomatoes have just begun to bear fruit, and Xia Wencai's tomatoes have been green and red, and they will be fully ripe in a few days, and the small cabbage in the field has the shortest growth cycle, and it can be completely out of the ground, and this little cabbage is still big, and the ordinary cabbage is generally palm long, and the little cabbage is twice the size of the ordinary, and the leaves are verdant, unlike the general leaves black.
Xia Wencai didn't expect the little cabbage to grow so fast, so he picked up the empty bucket and ran home.
As soon as I got home, I cried out: "Mom, all the cabbage has grown, and I will sell it in the town tomorrow." ”
"It's done, it's done, what to make a fuss about, don't say it, I've looked at it these days, and your Uncle Wang's little cabbage is still half old."
"I said Mom, don't you look at who planted it, this is the power of technology, does his family have college students who grow vegetables? Have it? It's normal to be faster than others, but it's not normal to be fast. Xia Wencai's face was not red and his heart was not beating.
"Fart, you kid watering in a day is called scientific planting? Flicker, flicker, I'll see if you can fool me. "There is an old-fashioned black-and-white TV at home, and my mother loves to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and even flickering has learned...
"Besides, what kind of vegetables do you sell as a college student, and you're not afraid of other people's jokes, so call your dad tomorrow."
"Mom, I'll just go, this is not an ordinary dish, if you go and sell it for 2 yuan a catty, you won't lose money."
"What is not an ordinary dish, isn't it just a little bigger than others, what's wrong with 2 yuan a pound? Everyone is at this price, so how many pounds do you want to sell? Zhao Qinglian felt that her son had learned badly.
"Can my little cabbage be the same as them, at least 8 yuan, no, at least 10 yuan a catty, and it's a loss." Xia Wencai moved his fingers and began to calculate, 10 pounds are fast, 1000 pounds are 1,000 yuan, 1,000 pounds is 10,000 yuan, Lao Tzu is ruthless, sell him 100,000 pounds a day, I can't count it when it's over, anyway, a lot of tickets are flying in front of him, Xia Wencai's saliva is flowing out, and he doesn't think about whether there are 100,000 catties in his own land.
Just as he was thinking about it, he was slapped in the back of the head.
