Chapter 372: Two Little Parrots
After making a fuss for a while, Zhang Taiping sent a few little girls away, and if he couldn't help here, he would end up with dirt. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info/qb5、
This time, Zhang Taiping did not let Cai Yazhi weed again, but picked up the hoe himself and asked Cai Yazhi to rake out the grass he had removed with a rake in the back and put it on the side, which was easier.
"It's like people in the city who know how to be romantic, but there are a lot of mosquitoes and insects on the mountain in summer, and the weather is very cold in winter, so it's not convenient to live at all." Cai Yazhi asked behind her.
Zhang Taiping's movements kept replying: "In summer, you can plant mosquito weeds around the bamboo building or wooden house, and if it doesn't work, take some insect repellent powder from the old man and sprinkle it around, so as to ensure that there will be no more insects and ants." As for winter, it is better to deal with it, without putting a bed in it, it will be like the kind of kang in our home, it is not hot in summer, and in winter you can put a charcoal fire in it, not only the kang is hot, but the whole house is warm. ”
"And how big are you going to build?"
"It's a third the size of our bedroom."
"Isn't it too small? There's no room for anything else after you put it on the kang. ”
Zhang Taiping shook his head with a smile and said: "This kind of recipe was originally used to rest and watch the scenery, and only one kang is enough in it, and nothing else is needed." At most, put a small cabinet and coffee table inside. ”
"Don't you have a place to cook?"
"Don't get it!" Zhang Taiping replied, "One is that it is not safe for inexperienced people to cook in the mountains, and on the other hand, if all the people who come cook by themselves, the village will definitely lose some of it, so they save the things for cooking." ”
The two of them were busy until the evening, and only completed five or six places, not to mention dozens of places, and I don't know how much time it would take to finish it completely by the two of them.
On the way back, Zhang Taiping carried all the farm tools by himself, and only Cai Yazhi carried the kettle and a small bamboo basket, and there was nothing in the basket, which was just a habit of rural people when they went to the fields or mountains.
"It might take too long for us to finish the place I marked, go back and find a few people to help." Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi, who was becoming more and more beautiful in the afterglow of the sunset.
"I don't want it." Cai Yazhi hesitated for a while and said.
"How?" Zhang Taiping was puzzled.
Cai Yazhi pulled a strand of hair floating on her forehead behind her ears and expressed her concerns: "It's not good to always hire people to do things like this, and people may gossip in the back, thinking that we are too lazy and a waste of money." ”
In fact, what Zhang Taiping wants to say is that his own behavior is to generate income for the villagers, and if he does the same work but gets a higher salary than the outside, the people in the village will not have any other opinions, and it doesn't matter if there are one or two people who have any opinions, there is no need to care too much about it.
But thinking that this is the first time Cai Yazhi has raised objections, besides, the construction of the bamboo house is not too urgent, as long as it is done before the hot springs in the village are built. So he didn't refute her opinion: "Okay, but then you're going to be tired for a while." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Cai Yazhi's mouth, and she shook her head lightly and said, "There is nothing tiring or not tired, if I am idle all day, I will still be a little uncomfortable." Then he looked at Zhang Taiping and said, "That's good." ”
Zhang Taiping can understand what she means, and he also likes this kind of scene of husband and wife working together.
When he was eating dinner, Xiaoxi suddenly flew back from outside and landed on Cai Yazhi's shoulder, chirping and exchanging, and pointing in the direction of the door with his wings.
Cai Yazhi also learned from Zhang Taiping's example, curled her index finger and gently flicked its sharp mouth, and said with a smile: "Where did you go?" Worried me for two days. ”
Xiaoxi still pointed outside with her wings and called, there was no anxious and frightened expression on her face, but she seemed to be very happy.
Cai Yazhi and Zhang Taiping got up and looked outside, there were no stars tonight, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the earth was like a layer of hoarfrost in early winter.
As soon as the two came out, they heard two noisy voices shouting: "I'm back" "Haha, I'm back"
The two of them couldn't help but smile on their faces, these two strange voices hadn't been heard for a long time, and now they suddenly sounded a little kind.
Two brightly colored parrots flew back in the moonlight and landed on Zhang Taiping's shoulders, then closed their mouths and began to comb the feathers on their bodies.
To the surprise of the two, there were two small things behind, and when they got closer, they saw that they were two little parrots, and they also landed on Cai Yazhi's shoulders unrecognizantly.
At this time, Fan Ming and the three little girls also came out of the house, and when they saw the two little parrots on Cai Yazhi's shoulders, their eyes immediately lit up: "Ah, it's two little parrots, let me see, let me see." ”
Fan Ming reached out and held a little parrot in the palm of his hand, and the little guy didn't recognize it, standing on Fan Ming's palm and screaming, but he couldn't speak, he could only make a crisp cooing sound.
The other was held in Cai Yazhi's hand and watched carefully.
"Mom, let me see." Yaya, let's shout below.
Cai Yazhi squatted down, and the three little girls surrounded her, looking at Cai Yazhi's beautiful palms and smart eyes, and touching the comfortable feathers on its body with her fingers from time to time.
Zhang Taiping said with a smile next to him: "Let's just say that I haven't seen these two guys for so long, it turns out that I secretly hatched two little parrots outside."
The two big parrots on their shoulders raised their heads proudly after hearing Zhang Taiping's words and cooed a few times.
At this time, Xiaoxi, who had been snubbed by everyone, also screamed a few times, and Zhang Taiping took out a few strawberries and fed them to it, but he didn't know how it could be with the parrot family of four.
Wukong also wanted to tease the parrot with his fingers, but Fan Ming slapped its outstretched paws with his hand, afraid that it would not know how serious it would hurt the parrot, knowing that it had a history of digging birds' nests.
The little parrot on Zhang Taiping's shoulder immediately exploded when he saw Wukong's movements, and shouted angrily, "Bad guy! "Bad guys!" Both of them pecked at Goku in both directions. In their impression monkeys and not a good thing.
By the time he flew to Goku's head, the innermost bark had changed, one had become a dog barking with "Wow", and the other had turned into a wolf howl with "Wow". Frightened, Goku immediately hugged his head and fled.
The two parrots did not chase after Wukong when they saw that they had fled, but landed on the wooden sticks hanging from the door, staring closely at the parrots in the house who stopped and looked at them.
"Call my sister." Fan Ming said to the little parrot.
It's a pity that the little parrot can't learn to speak at all, and can only make cooing sounds when it opens its mouth.
After a while, Fan Ming, the little parrot, asked Zhang Taiping, "Big brother, where do these two little parrots live?" ”
Zhang Taiping looked at the boom where the two parrots stood in the air and said, "Just be with their parents on here." ”
"Won't it fall?" Fan Ming asked a little worriedly.
Zhang Taiping said: "Try it first." "Then grab the two little parrots and place them on a boom that is placed in the air." The little parrot is still too small, the claws can't grasp the boom, and the flat body is very poor, Zhang Taiping just put it on for a while and swayed and couldn't stand steadily, the last one still shook back and forth a few times as if drunk and planted down from the boom, as if frightened, even forgot to fly with wings. was caught by Zhang Taiping from below.
Zhang Taiping grabbed the other one from the top of the mountain and said, "It seems that they can't stand on it." ”
"What should I do then?"
Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "Let's eat first, hang a basket on top of 10,000 meals, and put these two little guys in it." ”
After dinner, Cai Yazhi and Ye Ling packed up their things, and Fan Ming and the two little girls squatted in front of Zhang Taiping with two little parrots and watched Zhang Taiping make baskets.
This is really a small thing for Zhang Taiping, it was made in two clicks, it is completely like a birdcage, but there is no air outlet above, and the little parrot can enter and exit freely without restraint when it lives in it. Three chains were tied up and two large parrots hung in the air.
"Okay, so it won't fall." Yaya said as she looked at the uncovered birdcage in the air below.
"Thank you!" "Thank you!"
Overhead, there were unfamiliar voices from the two of them, and I don't know whose voice the two of them were learning.
Zhang Taiping smiled: "You two will be polite." ”
Fan Ming found some liquid food to feed the two little parrots, Zhang Taiping looked at the time and saw that it was only past eight o'clock, so he walked outside, ready to go to the old man Qian to discuss some things about building bamboo buildings and wooden houses.
After Zhang Taiping came out, the grimace who had just eaten also followed, and there was a small oil bottle behind him, and he didn't dare to follow and turned into the house when he turned his head and yelled at him.
The bright moon is in the sky, the breeze is blowing, and the cicadas and frogs are not only not destroying this tranquility, but adding a little artistic conception. One person and one dog walk comfortably on the road that is not wide.
When he arrived at the old man's house, he went out first to greet a little black dog, and when he heard the sound from afar, he barked in the yard, knowing that he stopped after seeing the grimace next to Zhang Taiping, not only was he not afraid, but he thought of the grimace and came to make love, it can really be said that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
Grimace was naturally impatient with a little guy dangling in front of him, and yelled at the little black dog, so frightened that it sat on the ground. Squeaked, looking at the grimace with some grievances.
Old man Qian heard the barking of the little black dog in the yard, and came out just in time to see Zhang Taiping and Grimace walking into the yard.
Zhang Taiping stepped forward and gave Old Man Qian a cigarette first, lit it and asked, "Has Uncle Qian eaten dinner?" ”
Old man Qian took a puff of cigarette and said, "I just ate it." ”
Zhang Taiping pointed to the little black dog behind him and said with a smile: "This little black man is good, he is not afraid of grimaces and dares to approach him, you must know that many big dogs do not approach, and it will definitely be a great dog in the future." ”
Speaking of this little black dog, the old man Qian also had a smile on his face: "This is what I bought for one hundred and eighty yuan on the big set, and I don't know if I can be as smart and obedient as the previous sunspot." As he spoke, he narrowed his eyes and remembered the big dog Kuroko who died in the battle in the mountains.
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "With the momentum of not being afraid of grimaces at such a young age, he will definitely be a good dog when he grows up." ”
Old man Qian nodded, and then asked, "Is there something you have come to do here?" ”
Zhang Taiping said his idea of preparing to build a bamboo building and a wooden house on the mountain: "This is a big project, I want to ask Uncle Qian to help." ”
After hearing this, Old Man Qian agreed without hesitation: "This is no problem, anyway, I have been idle these days." How many are you going to build on the mountain? ”
Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "There are about thirty places, ten bamboo buildings and more than 20 wooden houses." ”
"That's a lot, it's not a small thing. I'm afraid the two of us alone won't be able to do it. Old man Qian looked at Zhang Taiping and said.
Zhang Taiping nodded: "I know this, do you think you can find five or six more people?" ”
"No problem!" Old man Qian patted his chest, "There is also a carpenter in the village next to him, and he was under the same master back then, and he can be regarded as a brother of the same master, and his skills are good, so he can be called over." As for labor, I found a few people in the village. ”
Zhang Taiping smiled: "Then this matter will trouble Uncle Qian." ”
Old man Qian asked, "When do you plan to start construction?" ”
"The sooner the better!"
"Then I'll go over and get someone tomorrow."
Zhang Taiping laughed: "That's great, how do you calculate this salary Uncle Qian?" ”
Old man Qian thought for a while and said: "The carpenter's words are one hundred a day, and the labor needs men, so it is calculated according to fifty or sixty a day, what do you think?" "A carpenter is a craftsman, and the price must be higher than that of labor, which is the general price in the countryside.
Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "In this way, Uncle Qian and the other carpenters are each worth 150 yuan a day, and the people in the village are 80 yuan a day each." But the work is better. ”
Old man Qian glanced at Zhang Taiping and said: "The price is yours, you can rest assured of the quality of the work, and the absolute quality of the work made by me is passable." ”
"Haha, then I'm relieved." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.
"Are you ready with bamboo and wood?" Old man Qian asked.
Zhang Taiping shook his head and said, "I didn't know that there was wood there, and the bamboo in Old Man Zhao's place was too thin to use." Uncle Qian knows that there is wood and bamboo there, right? ”
"I know where the wood is, it's in the town, but the bamboo doesn't know it."
"Then the bamboo will be left for a while, and the wood will be bought back to build a wooden house. Why don't we go over tomorrow and see the wood? Zhang Taiping said.
"Okay, you can call me tomorrow morning."
When Zhang Taiping came back with a grimace, it was already more than nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the grimace suddenly let out a roar in his throat. Zhang Taiping patted it on the back, because he could see clearly who was sitting on the big rock in front of the courtyard.
"Is the big handsome back?" The old village chief stood up and asked when he heard the roar of the grimace.
"It's me." Zhang Taiping responded: "Uncle is looking for me something?" ”
"Well, something." The old village chief took out the dry smoke pot from his mouth and replied.
Zhang Taiping said: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”
The old village chief said: "No, just two sentences, just leave, you don't have to go in." ”
"Oh, then uncle."
"That's right." The old village chief organized a language and said: "You didn't go over today, you have already discussed with Fengyukou Village, and you can go and sign a peace agreement in two days." ”
"How are the specifics distributed?" Zhang Taiping asked.
The old village chief replied: "According to what we discussed in advance, Zhuang Yu accounts for ten percent of it. It's just that Fengyukou Village put forward a condition, that is, when the road from their village to our village is rebuilt, they will repair half of it, and we will repair half of it, and we must also do a good job of greening on both sides of the road. ”
Zhang Taiping nodded: "It's not too much. ”
"Well, I'm here tonight for this matter, you can just have a number in your heart." After finishing speaking, the old village chief turned around and prepared to leave: "I'm leaving, you will go too." ”
"Then I won't send it." Zhang Taiping turned around and was about to go home when he heard the old village chief speak again.
"I heard Xiao Zhi say that you are going to build a bamboo building and a wooden house on the mountain?"
Zhang Taiping nodded: "Yes, I just went over to discuss this matter with Uncle Qian." ”
"If there's anything you need help with, just ask." The old village chief turned around and left after saying a word, and disappeared from Zhang Taiping's sight in the moonlight.
Zhang Taiping looked at the figure of the old village chief who disappeared into the trees, sighed softly, and also entered the house.
