Chapter 174: Quilt Cover
The autumn rain was cool, and after two days of continuous autumn rain, the summer day disappeared without a trace.
At this time, Zhizhi had already stopped the annoying chirping. As the saying goes, grasshoppers don't jump for a few days after autumn. Knowing that the same is true, when it comes to aging, these guys are getting slower and slower.
Many of them were blown by the autumn wind, and they fell in the grass and were no longer able to fly.
The hens in the yard are blessed, and these days they wander around the woods all day. Now that the old man knows, he immediately pounced on it and pecked it violently. Every time they come back, they are well fed, and they don't need to be fed by Liu Junhao at all.
He hadn't eaten chicken for a while, and looking at the little roosters, he was thinking about when to kill them.
A total of chicks were held in the spring, and the hatching rate was almost 100 percent. And these chicks are wild outside every day, eating grasshoppers and catching green worms, and their vitality is super strong, and they have not lost a single one since they came out of the shell.
Not counting the dozen chickens given to Professor Zhao's family, he now has more than 50 chickens in his yard, including more than 20 roosters, all of which are tender chickens this year, and now they have grown to three or four pounds, and they can be eaten.
I hugged the nest in the autumn, and now it's almost time to come out of the shell. This was originally an unplanned thing, and if he hadn't wanted to hatch wild eggs, he said he didn't want the old hen to continue hatching eggs.
If you continue to hatch like this, you will really set up a chicken farm in your yard.
Anyway, these days, his eggs are not less sold. Don't look at this egg is not very conspicuous, but it was sold for a thousand eight yuan in one summer.
Ate in the morning. Liu Jun put the saddle on Chitu. Then he rode towards the riverbank.
The reeds on the river beach have also lost their former lushness. Now the pieces are yellow. Look far away. It adds a bit of mystery to it.
Find a place where the water is beautiful and the grass is fertile, scatter the red rabbit, and squat on the grass by yourself.
I watched it for a while. It's boring, and I just close the book. Pilllow under your head and look at the heavens and the earth.
Who knows just lay down. I heard a buzzing in my ears.
And bees this season? Liu Junhao hurriedly sat up straight. But now it's the kind of fat earth bee in his own house. I didn't expect them to be quite far away from the honey harvesting ground. They all ran to the river beach.
Now is the season for wild radish flowers to bloom, and planting small beige flowers smells fragrant and attracts native bees.
The stems and leaves of the wild radish suddenly look similar to those of a carrot, but its rhizome is much smaller and less sweet than a carrot. However, the taste is quite unique and very tasty, and Liu Junhao liked to eat it when he was a child.
When the red rabbit was full, he rode back on the red rabbit again.
As soon as I arrived in the courtyard, I heard a "click", and when I looked up, another date fell.
Since the dates in the yard are ripe, those greedy birds have fallen in love with this place, flying to the jujube trees all day long. These guys' jujube pecking skills are really not very good, and every time they just peck two mouthfuls and fall to the ground.
It was only half a day's work and a thick layer fell into it, more than I had beaten with a bamboo pole.
These guys give a little color to see, they don't know the surname of Second Brother Wang.
Liu Junhao retrieved Doudou and pointed to the tree. This guy's body was vertical, and he jumped to the branch of the jujube tree.
But before it could get any closer, the bird had already flapped its wings and flew to another tree.
This is enough for Doudou to be busy, running back and forth on several jujube trees. The birds also seemed to have learned wisely, and simply fought guerrilla warfare, and when the cats climbed the jujube tree, they immediately moved.
After trying this a few times, Doudou was completely enraged, and he actually arched his body and jumped from the adjacent branch to another jujube tree. Caught off guard, Gray Maza was almost caught by it, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to fly into the courtyard for most of the day.
Good guy, you can actually learn to fly through the air.
Liu Junhao was quite surprised to see it below, the flower cat he picked up was really a living treasure, and there were new things every day.
And what makes him cry and laugh is that this guy is still a two-faced guy, pretending to be like a grandson in front of Xiaopi, and he doesn't even dare to breathe.
But as soon as it turned its head, it went to bully other people's children.
The flower cat relied on his agility and barked at the little yellow dog every time. Fortunately, the guy didn't know to complain to Xiaopi, otherwise it would have been enough for him to drink a pot.
Xiaopi now has one more thing in his daily life, that is, as soon as the owner goes to the street, he immediately follows up.
At first, Liu Junhao thought that he was reluctant to give up himself, but who knew that when he got to the street, this guy ran towards Zhao Guangming's house. Standing outside the courtyard wall, the panther immediately came out to greet him.
It turned out to be self-inflicted, and people came to have a tryst.
Liu Junhao stayed in the courtyard for a while, and was just about to go back to the house to play on the computer, when he heard Liu Laosan's daughter-in-law standing at the door shouting.
"What's the matter," he hurried out.
"Didn't you ask me to leave you some good cotton a few days ago, and now I have a lot of drying at home. You take a sack and look at it
How much wait for you to weigh. ”
"Okay, I'll be right over." As soon as Liu Lao's third daughter-in-law said this, Liu Junhao remembered what he had explained last time.
According to the rules of the countryside, you must buy several quilt covers to get married. Originally, he thought of ordering directly online, which would also save a lot of effort.
I checked a lot on the Internet, and I felt that "Yang Yang Yang, X Yuanxiang" was very good, and the price was cheap, so I was ready to order. Who knew that Zhang Qian knew about it, and immediately stopped it, saying that the quilt cover was silky, and the cover was not warm at all.
As for Liu Junhao's fancy wool quilt, she felt that the price was expensive and not applicable.
In the end, the two of them discussed, and simply used cotton to plan for themselves. Cotton duvet covers are not only economical, but also comfortable to cover. He didn't grow cotton at home, so he could only beg the villagers to leave him a little.
In the past, there was little cotton in Liujiagou, but then gradually the people in the village didn't want to plant it. The main thing is that this thing is too troublesome, from the beginning of the emergence of the need for people to carry a cartridge to spray, to the peak flowering period is the hottest time, more need people to play once a day, otherwise the small cotton peach will be arched off by the cotton bollworm.
Cotton peaches should be broken one by one immediately when they are picked back, otherwise the quality of cotton will decline after two days of yellow and black. The cotton has to be dried again, and if it suddenly rains one day, the cotton peaches may still rot.
In a word, growing cotton is laborious and laborious. The price is not low, but the cost is calculated, and the income from other cash crops is about the same.
Therefore, the less cotton has been planted over the years, and the last one will plant a few points at most, leaving it for the autumn quilt.
Jun Hao was a little unsure how many quilts to play, and finally after thinking about it, he decided to call Zhang Qian as well.
When they arrived at Liu Laosan's house, both of them were stunned by the cotton dried in their yards. On the mattress on the ground and on the roof, it was snow-white everywhere.
"Third aunt, your family wants cotton money this year." Liu Junhao greeted with a smile.
"What's the wealth, if my family has your technology of raising yellow eels, then it will be called wealth. It's sun-dried and picked, and you can see how much you want. Mrs. Liu also smiled, why not close her mouth.
The weather is good this year, and it hasn't rained much this time, and her family's cotton is a bumper harvest, and she sold more than 400 catties last time.
"Hehe," Liu Junhao smiled without an interface, stepped forward and pinched a cotton flower and put it in his mouth and bit it, and the cottonseed smacked. It's the sound of being completely dried, and the cottonseeds that are too much moisture won't bite at all.
Although Zhang Qian didn't understand, she also learned to pinch one and put it in her mouth decently.
The two finally decided to make two quilt covers, anyway, he still has extra quilt covers at home, even if relatives come in the future, they will have something to cover.
I got a sack of cotton, then paid and left. Zhang Qian wanted to help carry it, but was stopped by Liu Junhao.
Don't look at this sack of cotton, but it is not heavy to pick up two pounds, for him, this is simply a piece of cake.
Before I got home, I saw a car parked in front of the door from a distance.
"Xiao Hao, what are you doing?" Before he could walk up, he saw that Zhao Weidong had already come out of Professor Zhao's courtyard.
"Brother Zhao is here, the old man has been talking about you these days. I just arrived at the village to get some cotton and prepare to make a few quilt covers in two days. Come into the house and drink tea......" he said, and hurriedly asked Zhang Qian to take out the key from his pocket and open the door.
"Congratulations, congratulations" Zhao Weidong naturally knew that the two of them were going to get married, and said with a smile, "Don't forget to invite me to a wedding wine when the time comes." ”
"Can't forget, can't forget." After Liu Junhao put the cotton on the ground, he had the opportunity to chat with him.
Zhao Weidong and his wife came to pick up Haoyu and Tongtong back to school in the city this time, and they said that these two little guys didn't even want to play at home. Every time they called to say they wanted to pick them up, the two of them yelled no, saying that they wanted to accompany their grandparents.
Zhao Weidong and his wife also had this meaning, so they did not force it. Now that the primary school is about to start, it is natural to take them back.
Liu Junhao also went over to accompany him during lunch dinner, and Zhao Weidong had to drive in the afternoon, so neither of them was drinking.
Although the two little ones were reluctant, they still obediently left in the car in the afternoon. Of course, before leaving, they got all the miscellaneous things they had collected these days back, saying that they wanted to open the eyes of those friends in the city.
To say that Xiao Haoyu and Tongtong have really not had a vain summer vacation, when they learned about the shell a few days ago, they searched everywhere, and they have sold more than 500 yuan so far.
When he didn't leave, Professor Zhao was angry with them every day.
Now that he was about to leave suddenly, he was a little reluctant, and kept explaining to Zhao Weidong and his wife: "Wait for the eleventh holiday to send them over, at that time, the village sang a big opera, and it was specially lively." ”
Saying that, without the two of them, Liu Junhao also felt that his yard was a lot deserted.
If you have nothing to do, let's play chess with Professor Zhao. So, the two of them began to think about chess again. (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more,!) )
