Summer is slowly gone, and autumn is getting cooler in the morning and evening.

The pond on the Zhuangzi has been dug up, the water from the river has been brought into it, the duck eggs and goose eggs and cherries have been harvested, and they have been placed on the kang to hatch, and a flock of chickens are chasing and frolicking back and forth in the yard.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the chicken enviously, they can't eat anything too hard now, they have to hold it in their mouths for a while before they can swallow it, and the meat can only be stewed and minced, and the fish can be eaten.

"Chicks grow faster than people, and they can eat sand in a few days after they come out of the shell, and the pomegranate has to be ground up for a long time, I think of a good thing."

Zhang Xiaobao pinched an insect in the flowers next to the yard in his hand, put it on the ground, and the chick immediately came to eat, the insect is a little bigger, it is a kind of green worm that is also about to form cocoons, there are a lot of things like eyes on it, and after eating it for a summer, it has already eaten fat.

The chicks grabbed and shook their heads vigorously, and there were also chicks next to them who came to fight for food, and a few chicks wiped out a bug in two or three clicks.

"What thoughts?" Wang Juan is not as afraid of insects as other girls, so he doesn't care at all, so he is interested in Zhang Xiaobao's ideas.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just want to get something for my grandparents, and your grandparents to eat, your family came to my house last night, and kissed me on the face, I want to get some bone marrow, and grind the bones into powder, use it to fry oil tea noodles, put some walnuts or something."

Zhang Xiaobao saw Wang Juan's grandparents yesterday, both of them were not in good health, and they kept rubbing their legs when they stayed there, and they looked like they were deficient in calcium.

"What's the use? Can it be absorbed? Wang Juan is a little grateful to Zhang Xiaobao, after all, there are still predecessors in this life, and the old people of both families are here, this is the greatest happiness.

"Yes, if you supplement calcium, in fact, it is nothing more than calcium plus vitamin AD, pure refining can't be refined, there are still things to eat, such as the oil that comes out of the cod liver, such as the layer of things on top after the milk and goat's milk are cooked, just add it.

Okay, that's it, when the people of both of us have eaten, let's take it out and sell it, there are so many things in it, who knows what the formula is, and it can also treat night blindness, eat it yourself first, and then sell it out in large quantities when I have my hands free. ”

Zhang Xiaobao planned, squatted down and touched the chicken, the chicken was not afraid, and tilted his head to look at Zhang Xiaobao with a curious gaze.

"Then let's get it, let's drink it too, the recipe should be adjusted, if you supplement more calcium, you will have an accident, and the walnuts will be temporarily removed for adults to eat, they are too greasy and easy to cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, usually let them drink more tea, I heard that ginkgo biloba is good, and good things are used by their own people first."

Wang Juan agreed, and she and Zhang Xiaobao added some more during their recent workouts to continue to supplement nutrition, especially high-calorie things.

Xiaohong listened from the sidelines, she didn't understand some of the things that the little boy and the little lady said every day, she only knew that as long as the two of them said it seriously, and helped each other to correct it, the final decision was definitely a powerful thing.

The chickens were full, and they didn't know where to run in the blink of an eye, and Erniu hurried back at this time, and said excitedly as soon as he entered the yard:

"Little boy, it's a good thing, the owner of Baiwei Pavilion went to me and my brother yesterday, saying that he wanted to buy that hot sauce, I sold it to him for two more cents according to your instructions, and the carrot too, he went back and drove away the steward of the day, saying that he made him lose a lot of money.

Little boy, the proprietor of Baiwei Pavilion wants to buy 500 stones from us at a price of seven cents a catty, and sell it or not? It's a lot of money all of a sudden, and it's a lot more expensive than when I got it. ”

"Five hundred stones? His appetite is not small, and he is also shrewd, and when you go back and tell him that there are not many carrots left, at most sell him twenty stones, two thousand pounds of things, enough for him to sell until winter, and in a few days, the price will rise. ”

At this time, there is no need for Zhang Xiaobao to speak, Wang Juan is in charge, she still knows such a simple thing, doesn't the owner just want to wait for the price to increase in the future.

"Well, just say so, if you want to, just help from Nafan, it's too late to delay the time to go back and forth, Erniu, let the big cow do this first, and the same is true for selling sauce, you prepare for it in the past two days, and after the autumn harvest, give me more grain, any grain, I will give you money here, the more the better."

In a few days, the grain will be harvested, Zhang Xiaobao really has no one around him, not to mention that he can't collect it in one place, it is easy to attract the attention of the government, his share, his mother's side, Wang Juan's family also has a share, and Song Jinggong can send him to a farther place to collect it.

"I understand, little boy, don't worry, I will do whatever you ask me to do." Erniu changed his original clever appearance, pretending to be honest and talking there, which made Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan laugh, Erniu is honest, so how many sensitive people are there?

After two days, the pomegranate made all the things that were picked up, as well as the ones bought at a low price, into powder, which could not be fed at this time, a bit of a waste, and needed to wait for the grain to be beaten and mixed with coarse bran and wheat bran.

Cherry made a piece of kang connected together, the kang was full of eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, and the chicks had hatched a batch for Matsuri Nigan to take away, and he also sold him some special feed to feed the chickens on the road.

On the other side, where earthworms are raised, pomegranates are also arranged with people, and the rotten firewood purchased from each family, as well as manure and so on, are all soaked there, and below are the earthworms dug up by the children, and there will be a lot more by next year.

Only Xiaohong has nothing to do, she listened to Zhang Xiaobao's words, caught some hardy fish, threw them in the pond and left it alone, the ducks and geese were not in place, she also knew when she envied others that she had to wait.

Song Jinggong's matter is easy, after all, he used to manage a lot, buy some soybeans, find a reliable person in Zhuangzi to squeeze soybean oil is very simple, the oil yield is relatively low, there is no 15% as Zhang Xiaobao imagined, it will reach 10%, it is a problem of technology.

The soybean cake left over after squeezing the oil was not wasted, and it was sent directly to Erniu's family, so that they could keep it to make hot sauce, and everything was waiting to play a role in the coming year.

"Autumn is coming." When the first leaves fell, Zhang Xiaobao stood by the river outside, looked at the withered yellow in front of him, and sighed.

"Well, tomorrow they will harvest, fortunately it did not rain, when the eyes were full of gold, I found that it was not only the sky and clouds that were far away, but also some memories that I was afraid to remember and did not want to forget."

Wang Juan's eyes were staring at the flowing water, looking at the clouds in the sky, a little homesick, thinking about the previous home, at this time feeling the existence of Zhang Xiaobao, only to know that there is someone to accompany him, it will not be so lonely, thanks, or together.

"It should snow in winter, and we will build a snowman at that time, build a big one, even if it will melt in spring, but every year." Zhang Xiaobao didn't know how to comfort Wang Juan, he had no regrets, and if he were in that world, he wouldn't be able to live now.

"Well, let's go back, set up the swing and exercise your adaptability to a high degree, why can't you study science and engineering, there are such talents in prison, right? I also want electric lights, it's too dark at night. ”

Wang Juan pulled his clothes, turned around and walked back, there are some things that should be adapted and must be adapted.

"Don't be afraid, if you have money this year, prepare more wax, and order this when the time comes." Zhang Xiaobao knew that Wang Juan was not afraid of the dark, but afraid of dreaming.

"Why don't you know how to comfort me, I'm a kid now." Wang Juan deliberately said something that livened up the atmosphere.

Zhang Xiaobao smiled, "I've been doing it, just like the song I overheard, by the window of a small school, I went back last year, you just wore a new cotton robe, today I came to see you, you have become fat and taller, do you remember, the lotus flowers in the pond have become lotus flowers, the flowers are less and there is no color, I dye the leaves red." ”

"What song? It sounds so good, why don't I remember? Wang Juan asked in surprise.

"The words of the west wind belong to the elementary school appreciation class, you may not appreciate it, there are always music teachers who cut corners, when I heard it, I thought it was good, and then I grew up to know that it contains philosophy and hope."

Zhang Xiaobao kicked a small pebble away, and frightened the chicks who had grown up a lot screamed and ran away.

"What kind of ability is it to bully chickens." Wang Juan was in a much better mood.

"I wanted to bully the old yellow dog, but I was afraid that he would bite me." Zhang Xiaobao said cooperatively.

Xiaohong had been standing beside the two of them just now, and when she heard what the two of them said by the river, she seemed to feel that the little boy and the little lady were far away from her, and it was not until this moment that she found out that the two of them were back again, and that feeling was really uncomfortable.

The swing has been prepared for a long time, but it has not been erected, waiting for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to return to the yard, and immediately arrange for someone to erect the swing.

In order not to accidentally fall down, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also deliberately designed something that can be stuck in the front and back, left and right, just like the octopus that moved up and down in the past.

At first, as long as there was a little strength, the two of them could swing high on their own, and there was a child's laughter in the sky, so much so that Xiaohong was scared to the side.

Finally waiting for the swing to stop, Xiaohong hurriedly asked the two of them to think about other things, and asked, "Little boy, what do you eat at night?" ”

"What to eat? Cherry's hatching chicks can't all be hens, she has kept the roosters somewhere else, there are only two here, you go and ask for one, let's eat the boy chicken tonight. Zhang Xiaobao jumped off the swing and pulled Wang Juan into the house to read a book casually.
