Chapter 010: Short Tail and Red Eyes
"I'm going to starve!" The little girl looked up and said, and after speaking, she dealt with the dough in the bowl. Hong Yan smiled, and his two little faces changed silently. Hong Yan said: "Baba is cooked in fish soup, it is very delicious, you see how fragrant my sister eats." ”
The little girl heard the eldest brother praise her, and said vaguely: "Second pot, it's fragrant." ”
At this time, the sister-in-law Hong Yuzhu had already returned home and was standing on the edge of the threshold watching this side. The little girl of twelve or thirteen years old is a little greedy when she smells the fragrance, but she is very good at hiding her emotions. However, she paid more attention to Hong Yan's explanation and persuasion of her two younger brothers. Seeing that the little brother, who was half a year older than her nephew, was busy picking up the contents of the bowl, she couldn't wait to go over and stomp her feet, and finally had to secretly say: "You know how to eat." ”
Hong Yan asked Lao Zu to take care of Sanxiao, and then returned to the kitchen. Li Yun really served a small pot for her grandfather's house, with more fish and less cakes. Filled with a few fish, Hong Yan carefully kicked out the small thorns on his belly and fed them to Sanxiao one by one. In the end, the fish is too small, and the three small meanings are still unfinished. Li Yun saw Hong Yan's cautious kicking and stabbing expression, and the action of feeding his younger brothers and sisters, he suddenly looked like a peaceful father. In this way, he does not understand the current situation of the family, but satisfies his appetite?
At the beginning, because of his son's distress of "spoiling" food, it was relieved a lot.
Hong Yan also ate ground pot cakes in his memory, but they were all vegetarian cakes. Therefore, although a large pot of ground pot cannot meet the lunch needs of two families of thirteen people. However, the fact that a seven-year-old child goes down to the field to catch fish and then cooks it himself is truly shocking. Hong Yan's behavior in the past two days can't help but make Li Yun and his wife think, telling stories, taking care of children, cooking, etc., what happened to their son?
Because of this, after lunch, Li Yun calmly talked about chili peppers. "Son, did you get the sea pepper in your own land?"
Hongyan pruned and fell, but did not take back the removed branches and leaves. The wilted branches and leaves, and the sparse peppers, almost made Li Yun angry. Li Yun has no experience in large-scale cultivation or commercial cultivation of chili peppers, and it is impossible to obtain relevant planting techniques. Transplanting, fertilizing, hoeing, insecticide, etc., she thinks that the more lush the pepper grows, the more fruit it should bear.
"Mom, I went with my younger siblings yesterday afternoon. I removed the excess, and the rest grew well. Just like when you beat a pumpkin or sweet potato into a vine, it is to grow the main branch and grow less leaves, so that the nutrients and water can supply the pumpkin and the sweet potato in the ground. Pumpkins and sweet potatoes only grow bigger. Moreover, the branches and leaves are too dense, and it is easy to grow insects without ventilation, and they do not grow much. Hong Yan said that it was naturally easier to understand with the technology that his mother understood.
"I mean, sea peppers grow so densely, they knot less, and they fall off a lot, that's the reason." Li Yun suddenly realized. She was even more surprised that how could her son understand these truths? Speaking of which, the surrounding villagers basically grow chili peppers according to her method.
"Where do you know so much? Is there anything else to pay attention to in chili peppers? Hong Jianguo heard something.
"Pepper cultivation is actually a technical job, and it can't be planted casually. Land selection, seed selection, planting, fertilization and post-management are all quite complex. At present, there are no conditions, and it is useless to talk too much. Hong Yan simply said.
Hong Jianguo was immediately reluctant, and said loudly: "Lao Tzu wants to hear what you have to say, you kid is actually picking." Suddenly very frustrated, he waved his hand to his son: "Alas, forget it, take your younger brothers and sisters to play!" ”
What's the point of taking it out to play now and taking a nap! While his parents were not at home, Hong Yan stole a bowl of rice and wheat seeds, each more than a catty. I have done a lot of work like wheat before, and I will get started with a little familiarity. As for rice, of course, there is no need to raise seedlings, and it is directly planted into upland rice. The hoe taps the soil, digs a small nest, and throws three or four seeds into each pit. Then water it again and call it a day.
Hong Yan originally wanted to collect a few eels into the Xianyuan River. In the end, it was decided to dig a large pit by the creek and introduce water from the river, and five small eels were selected and sent in. The eel sinks to the bottom as soon as it enters the water and disappears in the blink of an eye.
Two days after returning from rebirth, Hong Yan basically stayed at home. Well, in fact, I also took my younger siblings to fish. Children are still mostly playful. Uncle Hong Jianyuan ran around and dragged him to the public house to play, saying that there were many interesting people. Hong Yan naturally won't let go of playing Tibetan cats and fighting with him and a group of little kids! After seeing the magic of Hong Yan, Hong Jianyuan naturally would not run away alone without righteousness. So, let's go to the public house.
"Cauldron, short tail, short tail!" My sister suddenly shouted.
Hong Yan has a black line, when did he become a short tail?
"Haha, haha, your eldest brother is short-tailed!" The uncle pointed at the little girl and laughed.
"It's not ......" The little girl was pointed at by the uncle and smiled, a mist rose in her eyes, and her little finger pointed to the ridge below.
Hong Yan thought about why the little girl suddenly said this, there must be her reason. He slapped his forehead, a dog, a bald-tailed dog. Before he could speak, the second son also saw it. "Sister, that's a dog, not a bunny!"
The uncle laughed again, and the second son and the inexplicable junior laughed along. The little girl was at a loss and cried.
"Don't laugh, what's so funny." Hong Yan roared. At such an age, where would you think of giving face, laughing when you think it's funny, and even the more the person being laughed at, the happier you are. "Sister, come, big brother will wipe you. We ignored them. They love to laugh at people. Our sister is smart, isn't that dog short-tailed? My sister must think of the short tail in the story of the eldest brother, right? The younger sister nodded with tears and said, "Well! And red eyes and long ears! ”
"My sister has a good memory. There are three rabbit names in the story, which are their most typical characteristics. That's where we can best tell them. There is a rabbit with a very short tail, so I call him a short tail! Yes, that little yellow dog has a shorter tail than the other dogs, we can also call it a short tail! My sister is really smart and uses the story. Hong Yan squatted and slowly coaxed the little sister. Hong Yan took the little girl's little hand and smiled, and then touched her head.
Uncle was a little embarrassed at this time, after all, he was a little governor at the age of seven. However, the second son and the third son heard that the eldest brother praised the younger sister. Hong Yan was wiping her tears for her little sister, and suddenly heard the voice of her second son: "Big brother, red eyes, red eyes!" Look! ”
It can't be such a coincidence, right, another red-eyed dog has appeared?
Hong Yan looked up and saw that it was a person, stunned. Red eyes, really red eyes! But it's not a dog, it's a human! One of the red-eyed owner's faces was crooked. Hong Yan sighed in his heart, what a coincidence! Looking down at the junior and the younger sister, there was a little fear in the surprise. The angry face of the red eyes was strangely scary.
This person Hong Yan is still a little impressed. Chen Chaohe should say that it is not red eyes, to be precise, it is called "rotten eye circles". "Rotten eye circles", whose scientific name is blepharitis, is a subacute or chronic inflammation of the skin and eyelash base of the eyelid margin, which is one of the common eye diseases in clinical practice. It is often caused by chronic conjunctivitis, refractive errors, long-term irritation by wind dust or irritating gases, or poor hygiene. He suffered from the most severe form of ulcerative facilitis. In his previous life, until Hong Yan was admitted to university, his eye disease was not good!
He is the only one in the family who suffers from this disease, which shows that blepharitis is not contagious. However, being sick is not a good thing after all. Look at it, he was angry but he didn't have time to get angry, but he was busy pulling the corners of his clothes and wiping his eyes.
"Cauldron, why is Uncle crying?" The little girl asked puzzled.
Hong Yan almost covered her mouth. Chen Chaohe really has the heart to cry, don't talk nonsense if children don't understand, if you let people who don't know hear it, do you think that a few other children laugh and cry?
Thunderman's words are not over yet. At this time, the uncle refuted his niece, seemed well-informed, and said very firmly: "It's not crying, he's sick!" ”
Hong Yan almost sat on the ground with his butt, and he was scolding! However, looking at Chen Chaohe, it seems that there is no tendency to have a further attack. "Sick" is really not a scolding for him, but a statement of facts.
Chen Chaohe was very aggrieved. He can't help his eye illness, and he has been nicknamed "Red Eye" not for a day or two, but for many years. He was unwilling, but he couldn't afford to be angry. The older generation has a shout, the younger generation also calls, and of course the juniors also shout behind the back. But today I was called to my face by a few children in my teens, and I laughed. At least two older children he knew, only seven years old and as old as his own children, and the younger ones were only three or five years old, is it useful to be angry? No other adults present, swearing? Hit? Is it a reputation for "bullying a three-year-old child"?
In fact, the square where Hong Yan and his group of five people are standing now happens to be a three-way intersection. They stopped just in time to block pedestrians. When Chen Chaohe passed by, he could have passed sideways, but when he heard Hong Yan's words to comfort his little sister, he couldn't help but stop and looked curiously at the child who had an adult tone.
However, at this time, he was a little stupid. Of course, Hong Yan understood the lethality of the child's unintentional words, so he took the initiative to take the little sister to the side of the road and said, "Uncle Cousin, that little brother and little sister heard the story yesterday, and they just blurted out out curiosity when they saw your situation today. You also know that they are still young, they don't know how to scold, and they can't scold you. You are an elder, there are a lot of adults, don't be childish! I'm their big brother, and if I hurt you, I apologize to you on their behalf! ”
The villagers of a production team usually work together, and they don't see each other when they look up. From the first time he heard the second son call out his nickname, until now, although Chen Chaohe was angry, he still didn't open his mouth to scold, let alone beat people. His age is more than ten years older than Hong Jianguo, and in terms of the generation in the countryside, he has to abide by it. Hong Yan called him "cousin" and apologized, giving him enough face, and he could step down after completion.
