Chapter 30: Rustic Pleasures

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, dear readers!

At six o'clock in the morning, Li Jiahao got up as usual, Chen Anbang also got up, and the two of them were practicing Tai Chi together. The elderly generally can't sleep, it's good to get up and breathe fresh air, thinking that they are in the cage of cement and steel every day, inhaling the pollution of car exhaust every day, just like the lyrics sing "gray sky" and "stars can no longer be seen in the civilized sky", the green mountains and green waters in the countryside, the natural oxygen bar in the countryside that can't be bought with money.

After practicing for more than an hour, Uncle Chen Anbang was also tired, so he went with Li Jiahao to see Li Jiahao's baby animals. Speaking of Chen Anbang, he used to be a professor in the School of Biology, but now he is retired.

Professor Chen and Li Jiahao walked to the baby elephant's residence together, and saw that the baby elephant was still eating grass, Li Jiahao walked over and patted the baby elephant's head, and the baby elephant rubbed against Li Jiahao's side as if he understood, as if he had met a relative. Li Jiahao touched the trunk of the baby elephant again, and the baby elephant rolled Li Jiahao up hard, Professor Chen was very shocked to see all this, he didn't expect that the baby elephant would be trained by Li Jiahao to be so good, more obedient than a circus animal. Put down the baby elephant Li Jiahao said: "I don't have the ability to train the baby elephant, but the baby elephant is close to me." ”

Professor Chen really didn't expect that a college student would raise baby elephants, and he raised them so well, he really envied Li Jiahao's good luck. Just finished watching the little elephant, Xiao Dian and Xiao Whirlwind didn't know where they came out, and one bit Li Jiahao's trouser leg and didn't let go, Li Jiahao saw that he picked up the two little things, and the two little things rubbed desperately against Li Jiahao's face. Professor Chen was even more stunned, these two cute little animals can also be collected by Li Jiahao, they are really gods, although he used to be a professor, but he only studied animals, and he really didn't raise such a rare animal. Looking at the intimacy between Li Jiahao and the two small animals, Professor Chen stretched out his hand to hug Xiaodian, but Xiaodian did not let Professor Chen hug him, which harmed Professor Chen and his facelessness.

Li Jiahao patted his little body and said, "You little thing, let others hold you will die?" People don't want you, they want you, and it's your blessing. "Xiaodian seems to understand, and when Professor Chen hugs again, Xiaodian is willing to let Professor Chen hug him." You have to be scolded by the master to make you happy. Professor Chen said with a little amusement.

was chatting about the little dot and the little whirlwind, only to see the money turtle crawling slowly, crawling to Li Jiahao's feet, the little whirlwind saw that there was a turtle coming to rob him of the master's favor, and hurriedly shouted, signaling to let the money turtle retreat without a fight. But the money turtle seemed to have not heard, and slowly climbed on Li Jiahao's shoes. "Ahh It's the first time I've ever seen such a big money turtle. "Professor Chen is a man who has seen the world, but he also exclaimed.

"Hehe, this is what I fished in the river deep in our mountains." Li Jiahao said with a smile.

"You're a great boy, I'm feasting my eyes today. I've seen a lot of turtles, but this is the first time I've seen them this big and old. Do you sell? I'll give you access to buyers. Professor Chen said emphatically again.

"Hehe, I keep it for fun, I don't sell it, I'll sell it a long time ago." Li Jiahao said and kicked the money turtle with his foot, and the money turtle immediately put his head into the turtle shell and acted as a turtle with a shrunken head.

Professor Chen put down the little bit, picked up the golden turtle, looked at it again and again, and was reluctant to put it down for several minutes.

"Jiahao, last night's yellow eel was really delicious, hundreds of times more delicious than the one I bought at the vegetable market, where did you catch it?" Professor Chen remembered the yellow eel he had eaten last night.

"Oh, then I'll take you to see it, it's from the pond behind my house, it's all wild and delicious." Lee Ka-ho said as he took Professor Chan to the edge of the pond behind the house.

As far as the eye can see, the secret in the pond is full of big fish and small fish, "Look, that's a swordfish." That's a big one. Professor Chan exclaimed, as happy as if he had discovered a new world.

"Yes, I haven't seen it before, but the nobleman is here, and the fish has come out to welcome it." Li Jiahao said with a smile.

I saw a five- or six-meter-long fish like a sharp sword, stretched straight forward, Professor Chen was amazed, swordfish are generally in the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the Americas in the western part of the Atlantic, and how can there be such a deep-water fish in this small place in Litang Village, I am really puzzled, but what I see in front of me is indeed a swordfish, is it my old eyes dizzy and wrong.

"Our pond is very deep, so I guess when the water rushed in from the sea." Li Jiahao was also the second monk and said puzzledly.

"Your village is really brilliant, what rare animals, all precious fish run to you, this place is good, I like it." Professor Chen said with a smile.

"If you like it, live more, the air in this place is good, suitable for life, it doesn't matter if you live here, anyway, I have a lot of rooms, eat, you can eat whatever we eat, it's not comparable to your city, but it's definitely organic food, natural enough." Li Jiahao said a lot at once.

"That's good, I just want to take a break." Professor Chan did not treat Lee Ka-ho as an outsider, nor did he postpone it.

While chatting, the third aunt came over and called them to eat, and today's breakfast was still very rich. Black rice porridge, salted duck eggs, shepherd's cabbage pancakes, pickled bamboo shoots, stuffed beans, steamed buns, pickled cabbage, pickled garlic. Everyone eats a lot of food, especially the two little guys of the Chen family, who really ate several pieces of shepherd's cabbage pancakes for the first time.

After eating, the Chen family and his wife are going back to the city, although it is Sunday, but the couple is still very busy, the two little guys said that you don't want to go back, you have to spend the weekend here, Chen Bohan can't pull it away, so he had to say: "Okay, you and grandpa can play here, but be obedient." The children all shouted, "Okay." ”

"Dad, you're really going to spend the weekend here and not go back, are you?" Daughter-in-law Wang Yichun said.

"Don't go back, wait a few days and then go back, you can pick up the kids on Sunday." Let the children follow me for the next few days, and you can go back and pay attention to safety. Professor Chen said with a smile.

The Chen family and his wife drove away, and the two little things galloped at will like released ponies. They hugged the little ones for a while and kissed them, rode the baby elephants for a while, and went to feed the little snakes when they were tired of playing. The key is that the snacks of the two little ones of the Chen family are effective, in the countryside, adults can give children a piece of snack money a week is already very generous, and in the city, a dollar is equal to a dime. Before leaving, the Chen family and his wife left 1,000 yuan to Li Jiahao, saying that they were embarrassed to bother with comfort, but Li Jiahao said that he didn't want anything, so he gave the money to Professor Chen, and Professor Chen was also generous, and took out 50 yuan to buy snacks for his grandson and granddaughter.

"Uncle Jiahao, can you help me take down the eggs from the tree?" Chen Renjie quarreled with a group of bear children.

"So what do you want the little eggs for? If you can't eat it, you should keep it and hatch the birds. Li Jiahao touched Chen Renjie's forehead and said.

"I want it, the bird's eggs can be eaten, it's delicious, Da Mao told me just now." Chen Renjie said unrelentingly.

"You big hair, find me trouble, and I'll treat you later." Li Jiahao glared at Da Mao and said.

"Hehe, Uncle Jiahao, you can catch it." Da Mao said embarrassedly.

"yes, you can catch it for us." The children screamed.

"Don't make any noise, I'll catch you now, what a group of living immortals." Li Jiahao complained.

Although Li Jiahao has not climbed trees for many years, his previous experience in climbing trees has not fallen at all, and after the plucking and washing of spiritual water, he is now very powerful.

Holding the bark of the tree, with both feet forced, Uncle Wang climbed up step by step, and climbed to the bird's nest on the edge of the treetop in a few minutes, and the big bird saw that his nest was about to be snatched away by the enemy, and was very angry, but the enemy's opponent was too powerful, and it was better to escape first, so the big bird flew away. Li Jiahao saw that there were six bird eggs in the bird's nest, which were mountain turtle doves.

Li Jiahao carefully put the bird eggs in his pants pockets, for fear that the bird eggs would be broken, and the children would not be noisy.

The Chen family didn't quarrel to eat the eggs when they took the eggs, they had to hatch, and the eggs didn't have an incubator to hatch, so the children put the eggs in the haystack and put them in rags. It didn't take long for the children to clamoring to go into the mountains to see, how could the children from the city enter the mountains, they were still so young, how could they explain to their parents if they were broken, and then Li Jiahao said that he didn't agree with anything, Professor Chen said with a smile: "Let's take them with us, so I can also go and see, by the way, pick some wild vegetables, catch some pheasants or something to eat." ”

I didn't expect Professor Chen to be like a child, messing around with that group of children, and when the children saw that Professor Chen was going to go into the mountain, they hurriedly fanned the flames and screamed again, and the noisy Li Jiahao had no choice but to take them into the mountain.
