Chapter 86 Small Farms

......"Liu Junhao is sitting in the yard, 100~10,000 \ small!" Suddenly, the old turtledove flew up to his arm, and kept pecking at the snail coloring picture on it with his small beak, as if he was very interested in this kind of thing.

At this time, there were suddenly a few shouts of joy, and three turtledoves flew down from the branches, and two of them were small turtledoves that had just been able to fly. They landed visibly unsteadily, with one head perched on a stone slab and its wings flapping several times before getting back to its feet.

The two little turtledoves also learned from their parents and kept pecking at the pictures in the book, which made Liu Junhao feel very interesting to watch.

The two little ones look like each other almost every day, and now the fluff on their bodies has almost faded, and their bodies are a little smaller than before, but they look more energetic.

When Liu Junhao stretched out his hand, the two little turtledoves pecked at his hand curiously, looking like they should be hungry. He went back to the house and got some broken rice scraps and put them in the palm of his hand, and the two little ones immediately began to peck their heads incessantly, and after eating for a while, they raised their heads and cooed a few times, and even Liu Junhao did not respond to stroking their feathers.

Suddenly, another dark shadow fell from the tree, planted a heel on the stone slab to stand firm, and then stretched out his head and grabbed the grain of rice with the little turtledove.

Magpie?! Liu Junhao looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help but be happy, this thing is too bold.

This little magpie is naturally the child of the pair of flower magpies in the tree, and their hatching time is only a few days different from that of the turtle dove, and now it is almost time to leave the nest, and it is common for two old magpies to drive them around the poplar trees in these two days.

When those little magpies were born, they seemed to be quite afraid of flying, and their little paws clung to the branches and did not dare to move, and no matter how much the old magpies flapped their wings, they could not fly.

At last the old magpie seemed to be completely enraged, and pecked vigorously at their bodies before they drove the little ones away.

One of them may have been too weak, but it fell into the yard after a few flutters on the branches, and the little skin squatting under the tree saw it and immediately flew out.

"Chirp ......" Suddenly, an old magpie stood in front of Little Pidi. The wings are fully cocked. He looked furious. At that time, Liu Junhao and Professor Zhao happened to be playing chess in the courtyard. I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Face this behemoth. The flower magpie didn't flinch. Even the wings flapped incessantly. It seems that at any moment it will deliver a fatal blow to Pip.

"Little Skin. Come back," Liu Junhao suddenly shouted.

Pi was a little puzzled though. But he still barked twice at the flower magpie. Then he ran back to the kennel and stopped looking at them.

"No matter how weak things are, they will become strong when they protect their children. Even if it is to fight for your life. Parenthood. It's hard! Professor Zhao sighed and said.

Liu Junhao felt a little like crying in his heart.

The matter did not end, at this time another old magpie also flew down and chirped at the little one, the little magpie fluttered its wings with the encouragement of its parents and tried several times, but it flew less than a meter and fell to the ground, and finally plunged into the foreign iron bucket.

Although there is no water there, it is more difficult for the little magpie to spread its wings, and can only keep chattering inside, hoping that its parents will save it.

The old magpie was also very anxious, standing on the edge of the bucket and screaming for a long time, there was no way, just when Liu Junhao thought they were going to give up, but saw two magpies suddenly fly into the bucket, and he couldn't see what to do, only heard the tinkling sound in the bucket.

In the end, however, they apparently did not succeed, and had to bark at the little magpie again.

Liu Junhao couldn't bear to look any longer, so he walked over and half-covered his eyes with his hands. Ignoring the pecks of the two old magpies on his body, he reached out and grabbed the little one who was scurrying in the bucket and put it on the fence wall.

After such a toss, the little magpie seemed to be more afraid of flying, no matter how the old magpie pecked, it just jumped back and forth on the fence wall, but did not spread its wings, and still opened its mouth vigorously to ask for food.

The patience of the two old magpies was unexpectedly great, and they struggled for nearly an hour before they re-slammed the little fellow up, and finally stumbled to the poplar branches.

Now the one pecking the rice grains on the stone slab is probably this little magpie, and it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Liu Junhao didn't let it compete with the little turtle dove for food, but the two old magpies flapped their wings on the branches and screamed urgently, wanting to call the little guy to fly back quickly.

Who knew that the magpie turned a deaf ear, just raised its head and barked a few times at the tree, and pecked it with its small beak.

"Hey, Xiaohao, you even have magpies at home?" Ermazi's stunned voice came from the door.

Taken aback by him, the little magpie spread its wings and flew back to the poplar branches.

"How good it would be if you came a little late, you scared the magpie away as soon as you came" In fact, after the magpie cub protection two days ago, Liu Junhao also liked the magpie.

"You bear child, even your uncle is not welcome, if you don't welcome me, you will leave." Ermazi scolded and scolded

Door.

"Don't, Uncle Guangxi, I'm wrong, you sit first, I'll pour you tea" Liu Junhao said and went back to the house to open the water bottle.

"No, I'm not thirsty," Ermazi said busily.

But Liu Junhao still walked out with a teacup, and of course took a box of white sand cigarettes. This cigarette has been opened on the windowsill for almost a month, and no one has smoked it, and it rained heavily a few days ago and I don't know how to get wet.

Baisha cigarettes cost ten yuan to sell a box, it's a pity that most of the box was thrown away, he deliberately put it outside for a long time yesterday, and was going to wait for Er Mazi to come over for him to smoke, but he didn't expect him to come today.

Ermazi is very addicted to cigarettes, basically half a pack of cigarettes a day. I remember that when he built a house for Professor Zhao, he grabbed the cigarette that he didn't want money and smoked it violently, and he didn't stop all morning, smoking one after another, and even holding one in his hand when he ate at noon.

"Uncle Guangxi, this cigarette is for you, put it here for me to waste." Liu Junhao threw it to him casually.

"White sand? You kid doesn't smoke, why do you buy such good cigarettes, waste. Er Mazi was naturally happy when he saw the smoke, and directly took out one and lit it, and then took a puff and said: "This expensive cigarette is fragrant."

"I bought one during the Chinese New Year, and it didn't work at all for me. By the way, what's the matter with you? Liu Junhao knows that with such good weather, he will not be idle and go to his house to play.

"What are you talking about, you bear child, I can't come over to play if I'm fine...... Er Mazi glared, and then changed his tone and said: "It's really a bit of a problem, can you leave me four or five hundred eggs from your house, I will be useful in a few days." ”

"Four or five hundred...... You're an egg-laying machine for my hens. Four or five hundred eggs will take nearly two months, what use are you, don't be afraid of spoiling. It seems that your farmhouse doesn't need so much, don't you want to do a big project again? Liu Junhao's heart moved, and he looked at him with some surprise. It's too much of a toss, and it's only been a few days since the wild boar incident.

"Well, I have such an idea, your hens are fat, and the eggs are big, and I am going to get four or five hundred hatching chicks, and then they will be stocked on our mountain......

Although Liu Junhao's chickens are just ordinary local chickens, they grow very big, and all of them are thirty or forty centimeters tall. When I injected the chicken that day, the people in the village saw it and said that the hen had passed nine catties of yellow, and Er Mazi also saw this before he moved.

"Wait a minute, my family is full of hens, you don't know, there are no roosters to crush eggs." Liu Junhao hurriedly interrupted his gushing speech.

"I know, what's the trouble here, if you agree, I'll bring two of my old cocks, and this problem is solved," Er Mazi spit out a smoke ring and said disapprovingly.

"yes, I didn't think of it. Two days ago a hen was squatting in the nest, and I drove it out, so you'll bring the old later."

It's not that he didn't think of it, but he didn't bother to borrow a rooster from someone else's house at all. Now it's okay, Er Mazi sent the rooster directly to the door, and all his problems have been solved. In a few days, he is also going to raise another twenty or thirty more, and kill and eat meat during the New Year.

However, Liu Junhao did not rashly agree to give Er Mazi so many eggs, but asked again: "Uncle Guangxi, are you optimistic this time, four or five hundred chickens is not a small number, are you not afraid of being spoiled by weasels when you are stocked on the mountain?" Besides, if there's a disease......

Liu Junhao's words were not finished, but Er Mazi understood that he was afraid of the plague when he raised this thing, and he was also thinking about this matter in his heart. My mother-in-law didn't agree with raising chickens, and she is still angry at home.

"Otherwise, Uncle Guangxi, if you really want to get it, let's raise forty or fifty this year to see the effect, and then expand breeding when you have experience next year?"

"Well, let's do this first," Er Mazi actually didn't have any idea about this matter, he was a hot-headed person, and as soon as he heard that he could make money, he immediately prepared to go to the project. The last time I raised wild boars, I didn't think about my actual situation at all.

Raising four or five hundred chickens is essentially different from raising dozens of chickens at home, and you must find a special person to guard it every day, and prepare feed, and the other is to do a good job of epidemic prevention.

Even if you develop a lot of things to worry about, the first is the market, hundreds of eggs a day Qingshan Town can't be consumed at all, you have to send it to the county, and there is a freight problem here.

Listening to his analysis, Er Mazi felt that he was taking it for granted, and his mind was completely sober, and he was going to get forty or fifty to keep it for first.

Er Mazi went home again to discuss with his daughter-in-law, but this time his daughter-in-law did not object. Forty or fifty is not much, plus his family used to raise seventy or eighty, which is easy to raise.

The two of them said they would do it, sprinkled some corn in the hall to catch the rooster, and in the afternoon, Er Mazi carried the two roosters to Liu Junhao's house.
