Chapter 62: The Gift of Offering the Buddha with Flowers
Grab two small wild boars weighing more than 20 pounds each into the empty basket, and insert a horizontal row of branches above the basket mouth to prevent the wild boar from escaping out of the basket.
put the six or seven pounds of big hare in the trap into another basket and closed it, and Yu Tianzhou urged urgently.
"Let's go, I'll go back to collect the vegetables in the afternoon." Yu Tianzhou was also afraid of making it clear and scared the two children next to him.
"Dad, you carry a rabbit." Seeing the old father squatting in front of the pig basket, Yu Zhiqing couldn't help but say, and picked up the basket containing the rabbit and handed it over.
The weight of two large, two small and four rabbits plus the basket is only about 20 catties, and two wild boars with a total of 40 or 50 catties plus the basket are at least more than 50 catties.
Yu Tianzhou didn't argue much about this, he got up directly and put the rabbit on his back, and when he turned around and wanted to help Yu Zhiqing lift the basket containing the wild boar cubs, Yu Zhiqing had easily carried the basket by himself.
"Let's go, go home today and ask your grandmother to cook wild boar for you." Yu Tianzhou raised his eyebrows and grinned the corners of his mouth, with satisfaction and relief in his smile.
Grandpa is ready to kill the little wild boar?
Yu Mingyue, who had already pulled Yu Mingyan up and stepped forward, was stunned for a moment, then turned her head and curled the corners of her mouth to say: "Grandpa, don't kill them, the little wild boars are good, I want to raise them to give birth to more piglets." ”
If she really killed these two little wild boars, her plan to raise wild animals would be in vain.
"You want to keep it?" Yu Tianzhou was happy, his feet did not stop, and he took Yu Mingyue and taught: "Who told you that wild boars can be raised, this thing is very wild, but it can't be raised, if you want to raise four wild rabbits, they are obedient and easy to feed." ”
Speaking of this, Yu Tianzhou looked at Yu Zhiqing, who was also walking quickly: "In my opinion, the one with the rabbit cub today is a female rabbit, and it looks like she is pregnant with a cub, but I have seen the one in the trap behind me, it is a male rabbit." The rabbit pen you made last time was big, go back and add a wooden board to space it, so that Xiaoyue can take care of them, and you won't have to worry about no wild rabbits to eat in the future. ”
Yu Zhiqing was leading Yu Mingyan to walk, and when he heard this, he thought about it for a while, and nodded happily: "Well, I found out earlier that it really looks like a cub, and when I get home, I will make a rabbit pen, and let my mother help Xiaoyue take care of it carefully for a while, and I will definitely be able to add a few little hares soon." ”
It is difficult to distinguish the sex of rabbits when they are young, but it is easy to distinguish after three months of age, when Yu Zhiqing caught the three rabbits in the trap in the morning, he saw that it was a female rabbit, and Yu Tianzhou caught that one later, he said that it was a male rabbit and it must be a male rabbit.
Hearing this, Yu Mingyue was the happiest, but when she thought that the little wild boar's life was still in her grandfather's hands, she became anxious again.
"Grandpa, rabbits should be raised, little wild boars should also be raised, they will be obedient, let's not kill them."
Yu Mingyue grinded all the way, and when several people walked out of the deep mountain to the foot of the mountain, Yu Tianzhou finally couldn't bear to let her down and let go.
"Alright, alright, just keep them." After Yu Tianzhou finished speaking, he added: "If they go back and don't eat, they will starve to death sooner or later, and grandpa will kill them at that time, you can't feel distressed anymore." ”
As he spoke, Yu Tianzhou found a suitable platform and rested in the basket.
"Let's all rest, we were in a hurry just now, and we are all tired."
Just now, I was worried that the cries of the little wild boar from time to time would attract the big wild boar who was eager to protect the cubs, so I walked all the way to see that it was far away from the mountains, and Yu Tianzhou also felt tired.
"Grandpa, aren't we going to pick pine cones today?" At this time, Yu Mingyan had time to ask what she was thinking about along the way.
"Huh?" When Yu Tianzhou reacted, he glanced at Yu Mingyan, who was standing next to him with flickering eyes: "What kind of pine nuts are you picking, don't you see that the baskets are full of living animals?" ”
Yu Tianzhou was very unhappy at this time, and felt that Yu Mingyan was very blind. Compared with her granddaughter, this Xiaoyan is really stupider than a pig.
Seeing that her cousin was trembling when she was trained, Yu Mingyue was very distressed.
"Grandpa." Spoiled leaned in front of Yu Tianzhou, Yu Mingyue thought about it quickly, and then looked at Yu Tianzhou flatteringly: "Shall we raise those two little hares for Sister Xiaoyan?" ”
My cousin was too honest in her past life and now, and she would never compete with anyone for anything, but she must have been very disappointed that she didn't get anything to gain today, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of picking some pine cones to take home.
It should be said that Yu Mingyan will not fight for anything, it should be said that Yu Mingyan, who has always been cowardly, does not dare to fight for anything, at this time, listening to Yu Mingyue's request, Yu Mingyan's eyes obviously lit up.
When Yu Tianzhou looked at Yu Mingyan next to him, he happened to see her eyes full of joy and expectation, and he was even more unhappy for a while, but when he thought about it, he didn't dare to show his displeasure on his face.
"The hare is no better than the rabbit, the two hares are smaller, where can Xiao Yan take them back to live, and when the female rabbit gives birth to cubs, let Xiao Yan take two to raise them." When he said this, he glanced at Yu Zhiqing uneasily, after all, children are so confused, but Yu Zhiqing is an adult.
"Xiaoyan, listen to your grandfather, come to my house after a while and take two back to raise, it must be better to raise them at that time." Although Yu Zhiqing was a little bitter in his heart, he didn't show it, and he followed his old father's words to comfort his niece.
Seeing that his son was not dissatisfied, when Yu Tianzhou breathed a sigh of relief, Yu Mingyan was already happy.
"Well, thank you grandpa, thank you Xiaotang, I will wait for the female rabbit to give birth to a little rabbit." Yu Mingyan, who is still a child, completely believed the words of the two adults, where could she understand the different meanings of the words of the two adults just now.
Yu Mingyue saw all this in her eyes, and in addition to bitterness and helplessness in her heart, she had to chuckle and comfort her cousin: "Sister Xiaoyan, you can come to my house to see the little hare at any time, and when you give birth to a rabbit cub, I will definitely tell you immediately." ”
"Well, well, Satsuki, we're done." Yu Mingyan pulled up her cousin and stretched out her little finger to hook her finger to carry out the highest ceremony of the agreed seal.
Hooking her fingers is what her cousin taught her, and it is also the most reassuring action that can make her the most reassuring, as long as her cousin hooks her fingers, whether it is to let her eat sorbet, or to earn a lot of pocket money, there has never been a gaffe.
If I had hooked my cousin's finger yesterday, my cousin would definitely take her into the city early this morning Thinking of this, the regret and disappointment on Yu Mingyan's face were clearly revealed.
The father and son of the Yu family, who didn't say a word of chatting, didn't notice it, but Yu Mingyue, who was standing opposite Yu Mingyan, noticed it.
Being a sister for two lifetimes, Yu Mingyue guessed the reason why her cousin was abnormal at this time.
My cousin hasn't hooked up with herself for a long time, and I'm afraid that the promise to take her into the city yesterday didn't materialize, which disappointed her, and she will be uneasy to hook up with herself at this time.
If I hadn't been beaten up yesterday, and then I found that my grandmother had changed too much at my grandfather's house, and I was pulled by adults to teach me a lesson one after another when I came home, and I was dazzled by the warmth of a happy family at night, I wouldn't have forgotten about my cousin going to the city to buy gifts for my uncle.
Thinking about this, Yu Mingyue felt a little self-blame in her heart: no matter what, those things yesterday can't be used as a reason for her gaffe, she already owed her cousin too much in her previous life, and she still robbed her grandfather of a lot of love for her cousin in this life. In the previous life, she was unlucky and incompetent, but in this life, she must work hard to make her cousin live happily all the time.
After making up her mind, Yu Mingyue leaned over to Yu Tianzhou, who was talking.
"Grandpa, yesterday I promised to take Sister Xiaoyan into the city to buy a birthday gift for my father, but I forgot to tell you yesterday when I was playful, can I give my father a birthday gift today."
"Birthday? How old is your big daddy, what is your life" Yu Tianzhou swept his eyes and saw Yu Zhiqing next to him, and immediately changed his words after a sudden pause: "Your eldest dad is going to celebrate his birthday today?" ”
Seeing that Yu Mingyue and Yu Mingyan both nodded like chickens pecking rice, Yu Tianzhou smiled a little embarrassed: "Cheng, what gift is Xiaoyue going to give your father?" "How old is Yu Zhizong, and what gifts have he given on his birthday. Yu Tianzhou was very unhappy in his heart, but he tried to keep a smile on his face.
saw that grandpa was unhappy just now, but Yu Mingyue still laughed happily as if she didn't understand.
"Grandpa, I want to give Grandma Wang some gifts they gave me today, okay?" Borrowing flowers and offering Buddha to the small snacks that the uncle received today as a gift, the cousin can eat those snacks justifiably, and the uncle and grandfather can also taste them.
"Cheng, go home and ask your grandmother to pack some, and bring it in when your mother comes in to collect vegetables for you in the afternoon." What did I think I was going to give, I heard that it was just those snacks that were a little golden, although Yu Tianzhou was reluctant to give up, but he also took a bite.
In front of Yu Zhiqing, Yu Tianzhou had scruples, so he tried his best to be "generous", but he didn't want to mention anything about Yu Zhiqing's father's family, so he beckoned a few people to hurry up again.
Yu Mingyan was unusually happy, and there was laughter between her and Yu Mingyue all the way. After getting the promise, I will be able to raise two little hares soon, and today my father still has gifts for his birthday, how can Yu Mingyan, who is simple and easy to satisfy, not be happy.
When several people came to Yu Tianxiang's house, Yu Mingyue made an invitation after thinking about it.
"Sister Xiaoyan, come to my house to play, and come in with me and my mother later." My cousin is rare for those hares and wild boars, and although I can't give her now, it's good to let her see Le Yile more.
Yu Mingyan couldn't be happy, but she still snicked at Yu Tianzhou next to her nervously.
"Xiaoyan, go and talk to your grandfather to save him from worrying." Yu Tianzhou answered with a smile, but he didn't like Yu Mingyan's cringe.
He took all the prey from the mountain today, and when he stood in front of Yu Tianxiang's house, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed in his heart, and he wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.
After all, according to the customs of the countryside, if you pick up any ownerless wild things on the mountains together, you will have a share. Even if Yu Mingyan is just a child, she should have a small cup of soup to be in order.
When the three of them stood in front of Yu Tianxiang's house with different thoughts, Yu Mingyan, who had not long entered the door, jumped out happily.
"Grandpa, I told my grandfather that he would let me go to your house with him, saying that he would not come out because he was busy cooking dinner."
Although Yu Mingyan entered the door for only a few minutes, she happily told her about catching wild things on the mountain, Yu Tianxiang, who is knowledgeable, is a governor, and he is a person who will think about others, so he didn't go out under the excuse of being busy, and he was ready to fool this matter like this, so that everyone would not be embarrassed.
At this time, except for Yu Mingyan, the child who was so happy that he couldn't find the north, the other three people present all had their own thoughts, and they understood Yu Tianxiang's intentions at once.
Yu Tianzhou, who was already weak-hearted, beat even more drums in his heart at this time, and after looking up at the door of his brother's house in the lobby, he glanced at Yu Zhiqing, who was faintly indistinguishable on his face.
After he sighed secretly in his heart, he didn't say anything in the end, but said softly: "Let's go, it's not too early, Kong Xiaoyu will take Xiaoyue in a while to collect vegetables." ”R1152
