Chapter 483: August 15
In the next few days, no matter what happened to everyone, they would come and go, and the whole village was busy at first. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info. qb5、/
In the past few days, Zhang Taiping has really stayed at home for a few days, and there are special people in charge of the things that have been decided, and he can't go to the heart, so he has been thinking about the sedan chair at home for the past few days.
Although he has the skill of a carpenter, he must be a person who lives in a small mountain village, and his knowledge is limited, and most of the things he makes are ordinary furniture and farm tools, so he naturally does not know how to make this sedan chair. However, one of the advantages of modern society is that if you don't understand something, you can look up information on the Internet, and there is basically nothing that you can't find.
In the past two days, Zhang Taiping has been sitting alone on the desk in front of the computer, collecting information from the Internet and drawing sketches according to his own imagination.
Finally finished the sketch, and the rest was easy, nothing more than finding the right wood to make.
Originally, the sedan chairs were carried by people, so it was very important to consider the weight, and the wood should not only be light but also tough. But the sedan chair made by Zhang Taiping was not intended to be carried by people at all, in his plan, this sedan chair was made to be large to the local area, just like the ancient kind of phoenix, if it was carried by people, it would have to be more than eight people. He planned to install wheels underneath and use horses to pull them, which would not only look decent and imposing, but also save manpower. Therefore, the requirements for wood are not very high, and only hardness is required.
Anything else in the mountains is hard to find, but wood is definitely the best to find, so there's nothing to worry about.
Zhang Taiping has been lying in front of the computer like a magic barrier in the past few days, and the matter of picking up and dropping off Yaya and going to school every day has been given to Xingrushui, so he didn't know that the little girl was on vacation again.
When I went out, I saw two little girls tinkering with things in the yard, looked at the sky, it was still morning, and looked at my watch, it was indeed only nine o'clock, and I couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why didn't you go to school?" ”
The two little girls turned around and saw Zhang Taiping coming out, got up and ran over and said, "We have a holiday, three days off." ”
"It's a holiday again, what's a holiday?" Didn't you just have the National Day holiday, why did you have another holiday in two days?
"Mid-Autumn Festival." The little girl said.
"August fifteen?" Zhang Taiping couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he rarely paid attention to the date at home, and he didn't know the solar calendar, let alone the lunar calendar, but he didn't expect that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival before he knew it.
He asked Yaya, "What about your mother?" ”
"I went to the mountains to pick chrysanthemums." Yaya replied.
"Oh." Zhang Taiping responded, there is indeed a custom in the mountain to go up the mountain to pick some wild chrysanthemums and come back to make tea and drink at night on the 15th day of August, "Why didn't you go?" ”
"I'm going to plant cactus balls every day." As she spoke, the little girl opened her hand, and there were two small cactus balls in a cardboard box.
Zhang Taiping pinched it up and looked at it and asked, "Where did the cactus ball come from?" ”
"Godfather, be careful, there are thorns on it, and they all pricked my hand just now." Every day, the little girl hurriedly shouted beside her.
Zhang Taiping said: "It's okay. He put the cactus ball in the palm of his hand and rolled it, and with the thickness of his skin, these little thorns would definitely not be able to penetrate it.
"This is given to us by the teacher, let us take it back and plant it in a pot, water it every day, and we can grow it after a while." Seeing that Zhang Taiping was really not afraid of the thorns above, the two little girls told the origin of the two little cactus balls.
"And where are you going to go?"
"No, it's inside that basin." Yaya pointed to the corner where the two of them were squatting just now, and there was a broken plastic basin.
Zhang Taiping smiled and said, "That pot is broken, come, give you two flower pots, plant them in the flower pots and put them on the table." ”
Zhang Taiping took out two ceramic flower pots for the two little girls, and the fist-sized flower pots were just right for the cactus.
After the little girls took it, they were ready to add the soil from the broken plastic basin to it.
Zhang Taiping said: "When planting cacti and cacti, it is best to put some sand in them. ”
"Why?" The little aunts were puzzled, planting things have always been planted in the soil, and they have never seen them planted in the sand again.
Zhang Taiping replied: "The most suitable place for cacti and cactus balls to grow is the desert, which already grows in sand, and now put some sand in it to suit their growth."
Naturally, the two little girls obeyed their father's instructions, added some soil to it, filled it with sand, and then prepared to bury the cactus ball in it.
Zhang Taiping said again: "It's not planted like this, you just need to put it on it and water it a little more." ”
After teaching the two little girls to plant the cactus, Zhang Taiping originally wanted to go to the village to have a look, but the two little girls caught up from behind and said: "Dad, the hawthorn on the mountain is ripe, let's go to the mountain to pick the hawthorn?" After saying that, he took out a crimson hawthorn from his pocket and put it in the palm of his hand.
"Who gave this to you?" Zhang Taiping put the hawthorn in the innermost part and tasted it, with a little sweetness in the thick sourness, but the hawthorn tasted like this.
"Wang Xuetong gave it to us." Yaya replied.
"Okay, go up the mountain and pick hawthorns." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.
The two little girls cheered, rushed into the house, took out two bamboo baskets, and called out the little grizzly bear. After half a year, the grizzly bear is as big as an ordinary earth dog. Goku also jumped out of the house.
"This guy didn't follow your mother to the mountains?" Zhang Taiping was strange.
"Nope." The girl replied, "It's watching TV in the house." ”
"Did the TV go off when you came out?" Zhang Taiping asked Wukong.
I scratched my head and jumped into the room, and soon came out with a bag in my hand.
The hawthorn trees on the mountain were not planted by the mountain people themselves, but were sown by airplanes when they were sowing seeds on the mountain a few years ago, and there were only dozens of hawthorn trees growing sporadically on a small hill. Since the wild is not managed, the fruit on the tree is not dense, but fortunately, it can bear fruit every year, and adults have little interest in this, so it has become a snack for children at this time.
Zhang Taiping led another little girl, followed by Wukong, who was restless, and the little grizzly bear, who was a little active, and only Grimace followed most steadily.
When the hawthorn is ripe, it is red, even the leaves of the tree are red, and it is impossible to distinguish between the leaves and the fruit, and only when you walk to the front can you see that the hawthorn fruit is more bright red than the leaves, like clusters of burning flames.
The most famous effect of hawthorn is to strengthen the stomach and spleen, ventilation, and is a good medicine for abdominal distension and indigestion.
In the countryside, the most common medicine that people take when they are not digesting is "big hawthorn pill", which is made from hawthorn.
At the top of the hill, Wukong climbed up the tree, picked the bright red fruits, and put them in his mouth first.
The first one made it grin, it was too sour. But it doesn't spit it out, because animals know better than humans what is good for them and what is bad for them, and in the evolution of human beings for thousands of years, with the increase of intelligence, these innate senses have gradually degenerated and become inferior to animals.
"Goku, throw some down." Yaya and Tian Tian shouted under the tree.
Hearing this, Wukong quickly picked a few strings and threw them down, and the two little girls picked up the scattered ones on the ground into the basket. The little grizzly bear also grabbed one and swallowed it in its mouth, and then spit it out, and it couldn't stand the sour taste.
Wukong eats and throws down the tree, and the two little girls under the tree run back and forth like butterflies to pick up the hawthorn that has fallen on the grass. Grimace stood by the tree and watched the two little girls, obeying Zhang Taiping's arrangement and guarding them loyally. And the little grizzly bear has long been unknown where to run.
Zhang Taiping looked around these hawthorn trees, selected some branches, folded them down and put them in the space, and transplanted them to the hillside in the space when the time came.
It was almost noon when Zhang Taiping's phone rang.
"Yaya and Tian Tian are with you?" Cai Yazhi asked.
"Together."
"I was so shocked that I thought I couldn't find the two of them anymore. The meal is ready, come back and eat. ”
Zhang Taiping hung up the phone in response and shouted to the two little girls, "It's time to meet and eat." ”
Hearing the shout, the first one to run over was Wukong, followed by two little girls carrying a basket full of hawthorns.
"I'll carry it." Zhang Taiping said. A basket weighing several pounds is still a bit heavy for a little girl.
After the two little girls put the basket in Zhang Taiping's hands, Wukong also quickly unloaded the bag hanging around his neck and put it in Zhang Taiping's hands.
Zhang Taiping couldn't help laughing and scolded: "Just you guys are smart." ”
Yaya and Tian Tian walked around Zhang Taiping, stroked her little belly and said, "I'm so hungry." ”
Wukong also touched his stomach and squeaked, beckoning the three of them to hurry up in front of him.
Zhang Taiping ignored Wukong, and said to the two little girls with a smile: "Hawthorn helps digestion, the more you eat, the faster you digest, and the faster you will be hungry." Whoever ate the most just now is hungrier now. ”
The two little girls smiled and said, "Wukong is the hungriest, and he ate the most just now." ”
"Why don't you see the little grizzly bear?" Tian Tian looked around and asked.
Zhang Taiping had already noticed that the little guy was missing, but it was now very familiar with the nearby mountains, and he was not worried about losing it, so he said: "No matter, let's meet and eat first, and it will come back when it is hungry." ”
Halfway through, the grizzly bear suddenly jumped out, with a rabbit in the innermost position. The little guy threw the rabbit in front of Zhang Taiping with an expression of invitation.
Zhang Taiping looked at the rabbit that was bitten and his flesh was blurred, and he couldn't laugh a little, patted its neck and said, "Well done, I've rewarded you." ”
The little grizzly bear could understand Zhang Taiping's words, and immediately began to feast happily again, and within two clicks he had a rabbit in his belly.
Back at home, Cai Xiaomei was also there. Thinking about what day it is today, she is relieved, she did not come back for the National Day, I heard that she went out with her classmates, and now she should come back on August 15, in most people's minds, this day should be a family reunion.
The happiest thing was the little girl, who threw herself into Cai Xiaomei's arms and asked crisply, "When did Auntie come back?" ”
"I just came back." Cai Xiaomei kissed Yaya's little face and said with a smile.
"Why didn't my aunt come back during the National Day holiday?"
"My aunt went to Mount Emei on vacation, so she didn't come back." Cai Xiaomei explained to Yaya. Then he smiled at Cai Yazhi and said, "I heard that it is very effective to send a child to a temple at the foot of Mount Emei, sister, when do you want to go over and play with your eldest brother?" ”
"What nonsense?" Cai Yazhi scolded with a smile. After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhang Taiping, and his meaning was unclear.
"Auntie, do you eat hawthorn?" Yaya said to Cai Xiaomei.
"You picked the hawthorns?" Cai Xiaomei said, "Well, this time is almost familiar." Where is it? ”
Zhang Taiping handed the basket in his hand to everyone, and everyone pinched two and tasted them, and they were all frowning sourly.
"What to eat? Why are they all like this? Zhang Xiuxiu walked in from outside and asked. Shen Qingfeng next to him hugged Xiao Yu'er, it was rare that he didn't run outside today, but came back early to accompany Xiao Yu'er.
Yaya and Tian Tian are very sympathetic to Xiao Yu'er, so if there is anything delicious and fun, they will always give Xiao Yu'er to play together without hesitation, and when they come in, they love the basket of hawthorn and hand it over.
Although Shen Qingfeng seems to have lived here for a short time, he is busy working outside most of the time, and he doesn't have many opportunities to contact with everyone, so he doesn't want to get acquainted, so he just nods and says hello.
While everyone was still talking, Wukong was already squatting at the door with a bowl and eating. This guy ate too much hawthorn in the morning, and his stomach was probably hungry for a long time, so he ran in and scooped himself a bowl of rice while everyone was talking in the yard.
There were two fewer people at lunchtime.
Zhang Taiping asked, "What about the wood red fish?" ”
"Her sister came in the morning to pick her up, go back for a reunion, and will be sent back in two days." Cai Yazhi said.
After lunch, Cai Yazhi put the wild chrysanthemums picked by the group in the morning in a dustpan and brought them out for Zhang Taiping to dry on the eaves. Cong Zhong selected some better quality tea to drink at night, not that this is better than other teas at home, but this is just a custom.
As if the little animals also knew that August 15 was a day of reunion, the little purple and the big-tailed squirrel jumped down from the mountain in the afternoon. These two little things are purple and red, and their whole bodies are shiny, and they are very cute.
The little squirrel is okay, he is docile and can be hugged and touched, but Xiao Zi is extremely vigilant, and no one is allowed to approach Zhang Taiping and Ye Ling.
As the evening approached, the house suddenly became lively, not only the chirping of small joys, but also the chatter of a few parrots.
A few grown parrots stood in front of the TV, and when they said a word on the TV, they all said a word, which was a wonder in the house.
