Chapter 42: The Cow's Tightening Spell
After eating, Liu Junhao ran to the backyard and picked a big flower peel watermelon on the tree, the watermelon was not ripe when they came last time, but this time it has passed the season of eating watermelon, and the users who grow melons in the village have basically dragged the melon seedlings in the field.
But when I got here, I could still catch up with the autumn melon, and the taste was as good as ever, and the melon was crispy and delicious.
Liu Junhao's watermelon is also a great spectacle, this season the watermelon seedlings are still verdant and green, and there are still a lot of small flowers scattered on the top.
This made many people amazed, and even Professor Zhao studied it every day, as if he wanted to find out the reason for the abnormality of the watermelon, but Liu Junhao understood in his heart that it should be his spring water that was working to prolong the fruiting period of the watermelon.
This season, only Liu Junhao still has watermelons here, and he has put five or six large flower skins in his house, which were picked a few days ago, and this watermelon is durable, and there is no problem at all if you put it for another month or two.
"Cool, every time I come to you, it's delicious and delicious, so I don't want to go back, this time I have to stay for a while, and I will go back when I have lived enough." Pang Xu didn't eat at all, and said while holding a piece of watermelon.
"You can stay as long as you want, but you kid can't jump for a few days, I'm afraid school is about to start, right?" Liu Junhao said and threw the watermelon seeds in his hand into the bamboo sieve.
During this time, he has dried a small half bag of watermelon seeds, and it seems that he should be able to fry them a few times. It's just that the weather was hot a few days ago, and he has been too lazy to be busy in the stove, but now they happen to come, and it's good to fry some watermelon seeds.
"It's okay, there are no classes this year, and the teachers at school are also urging us to look for jobs and internships outside, so it is better to stay at home for a few more days." Pang Xu said nonchalantly.
"It's better to go out earlier to find a job, now the employment situation is so serious......" Professor Zhao persuaded at this time, after these two contacts, he had already seen that Pang Xu, a young man, was the same as Liu Junhao, he was the kind of person who had no heart and no lungs, so he also liked it in his heart, and he didn't want to see this kid take a detour.
"I also want to find a job early, but just graduated like us, it doesn't matter if you have no experience, it's harder to find a job than to climb to the sky, or I can just mix with you as a small mouse, help you raise yellow eels, how about you give me 2,000 yuan a month?"
"Two thousand yuan, your kid's heart is too dark, why don't you grab it" Liu Junhao scolded with a smile, "I don't need to raise these yellow eels at all, they will find food by themselves......"
While they were eating, a half-grown bear child in the village walked in, and when he saw a guest in the courtyard, he called timidly: "Uncle Xiaohao, my dad has something to do with you." ”
This bear child's name is Liu Yulin, don't look at the name is very delicate, but like the hairy child, he is also very honest, and his nickname is Little Baby, which is because his father's nickname is Big Baby.
"Give me a piece of melon," Liu Junhao pulled him over, handed him a large piece of watermelon, and then asked, "What's the matter with your dad looking for me?" ”
"Our little calf baby is going to tie the cow's nose ring, and a few people can't hold it, so my dad will let you help." He said as he held the watermelon and nibbled on it.
"Okay, I'll go over now," he stood up and said to Professor Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, you talk to Pang Xu and them at home, and I'll come when I go." ”
"How to tie the cow's nose, I'll go over and take a look, maybe I can help" Pang Xu was interested, this is the first time he has encountered this kind of thing, and he feels very fresh.
"Okay then," Liu Junhao saw that he was eager to try, so he had to nod his head in agreement, so Zhang Qian and Xu Xiaoli also followed behind, and finally Professor Zhao saw that he was the only one left in the house, and he also locked the door, and the five of them walked towards the village.
The half-grown scalper of the little baby's family was born in the spring, and now it is half a pile. At this time, the calf is the most annoying, and it is a great scourge when it runs into the field, and even eating and kicking can spoil a large crop in one trip. Therefore, when the calf grows to such a big size, the people in the village will consciously put a bull nose ring on it to prevent it from continuing to have fun.
When Liu Junhao arrived, there were already three or four people under the Mao wolf tree at the door of the little baby's house, and it seemed that they were all called to help, and after greeting each other, they were waiting there. When everyone had arrived, the big boy brought the old cow to the yard, and the calf followed him into the yard.
Then the big baby took the old cow out again, mainly because he was afraid that the old cow would call when he saw them catching the calf, and the ox was actually very protective of the calf, and saw that his child could not eat for a few days and nights, and kept mooing.
As soon as a few people closed the door, they began to chase and intercept the calf, and the calf also felt the danger and kept scurrying around the yard, but the croppers did this thing in a hurry, and as soon as they came up, they had a clear division of labor, pressing the cow's head, pressing the body, dragging the legs, and pressing the calf under the tree by dividing it by two......
The calf struggled desperately, mooing incessantly, and its four hooves kicked and fluttered on the ground.
But five or six laborers went up, and the men in the countryside had the strength, and a few people stuck the calves there, and then let the old cows in the village get on the horses.
The old cow head has been dealing with cattle all his life, and he has been in charge of the livestock in the village since the production team, so he is very familiar with wearing a cow's nose ring. He first took out a sharpened wooden skewer, made a bowl of wine and washed it on the wooden skewer, then stepped forward to break the cow's nose, and stabbed it suddenly, and before the cow could react, he had already pierced the nose.
Someone next to him had already handed over a half-cut thin bamboo pole, and the old cow head quickly inserted the bamboo pole into the cow's nostrils, and then put wire loops on both ends, tied the reins, and everything was done.
When the calf is happy again, as long as the rope is pulled, the nose ring will tear its nose painfully, and the calf can only follow the owner honestly.
As soon as Pang Xu let go of the cow's tail, the calf suddenly peed "la-la-la", and he splashed his trouser legs unexpectedly.
"Damn, why is my idea so back, bullying honest people......" Pang Xu shouted, and hurriedly took a big step back.
Seeing his embarrassed appearance, everyone immediately burst into laughter.
After being busy, Liu Junhao refused to keep the big baby, and led the three of them to Liu Guangju's house to ask for the key, but Professor Zhao did not follow, he and the group of people in the village chatted under the tree. Everyone in the village knows him, and from the initial curiosity to acceptance, he is now regarded as half of Liujiagou, so there are not so many constraints between his words.
"I must upload this photo to the Internet when I go back, and it's the first time I've seen a bull's nose, it's a little cruel." Xu Xiaoli looked at the photo in her phone and said.
"Cruel, don't people in the city wear nose rings, when I look at them, the nose rings of animals are the same." Pang Xu said disapprerovingly.
"you, turn around and curse." Xu Xiaoli smiled and slapped him.
"Let's be honest, if you also tie a rope to their nose rings and lead them away, then it will be more fashionable," Pang Xu still chattered.
Liu Junhao doesn't have so many ideas, in his opinion, it is normal to wear a nose ring for cattle, cattle are considered the most important labor force in the countryside, and they must be used to pull carts and so on, if they don't wear a nose ring, the animal will not move. Xu Xiaoli said this because she didn't know about the countryside.
When they arrived at Liu Guangju's house, they were watching TV in the house, and his black dog immediately jumped out, but when he saw Xiaopi, he immediately wilted. Although Xiaopi has not grown up yet, he has gradually shown his kingly demeanor, and has faintly become the boss of the dog in the group of dogs in the village.
"Uncle Guangju......" Liu Junhao shouted three times in a row, and Liu Guangju came out of the house.
"Xiao Hao, you kid is a rare guest, what kind of wind blew you here, come on, come and sit in the house." Liu Guangju said and gave them cigarettes again, but Liu Junhao and Pang Xu didn't smoke, so they excused themselves.
The furnishings of Liu Guangju's house in the village can only be said to be general, with a table on the side of the wall in the hall house, on which a few paintings are hung, and the house is paved with blue bricks on the ground.
Liu Junhao was not ready to stay here for long, so he simply told Zhang Qian that he was going to Liujiagou to be a teacher, and asked him for the key to the school by the way.
Liu Guangju saw that there were no teachers coming when school was about to start, and he thought that Liujiagou Primary School was really going to close down this time, and he was worried, but he didn't expect the teacher to come now. He was naturally happy to hear this, and he had to ask Zhang Qian to have dinner at his house at night, and in the end, Liu Junhao said that several of them were his classmates, so there was no need to bother, let him entertain him, and this matter was stopped, but when they left, Liu Guangju repeatedly emphasized that he would also go over to accompany the guests at night.
