At this time, many grasshoppers are as long as their thumbs, and when people walk on the grass, they are immediately shocked.

Liu Junhao roared in front, Xiao Haoyu followed behind with the wine box, and he counted while catching it. After a while, the two caught more than 50 of them, and then happily returned to Professor Zhao's house.

Sure enough, when the little guy took a grasshopper and put it in the palm of his hand, the turtledove stretched out his head and pecked it unceremoniously, and fed his child directly.

After feeding it several times in a row, the old turtledove did not peck him when Xiao Haoyu got closer to the bird's nest, and let him stuff the grasshopper in his hand into the mouth of the little turtledove.

Xiao Haoyu was afraid that such a big grasshopper would choke on it, and he deliberately broke it in half and fed it carefully.

In the end, the little guy was interested and asked Zhao Weidong to take a few photos of him feeding the turtledove, and the old turtledove was put on his shoulder. It is estimated that the mouth of eating people is short, and the old turtledove is embarrassed to work hard, and in order to cooperate with the camera, he fluttered his wings a few times and posed.

After eating, they went to Liu Junhao's yard to play together, and at this time an interesting thing happened again, that is, Xiaopi didn't know where to get a half-dead mouse and threw it in front of Xiaohua Dog to let it play.

The little flower dog is the age of playfulness, and it is naturally very happy to find such a toy, and he can't stop jumping up and down around the mouse.

The mouse tried to escape several times in a row, but was stopped by the puppy, and when it saw that it could not escape, it immediately lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, no matter how much the little little bit played with its paws, it did not move. When the little flower dog got tired of playing and turned away, it suddenly rolled on the ground and wanted to get into the pile of miscellaneous wood.

But the little skin, who was sleeping beside him, jumped up, and had already pressed the mouse under his paws and grabbed it again. It wasn't until the little flower dog was completely tired of playing that Xiaopi bit the mouse to death and threw it outside the yard.

"Xiaopi is getting smarter and smarter, and if it goes on like this, the cat will be unemployed" Even Professor Zhao couldn't help but let out a few exclaims, and then held the teacup to look at the flower pond opened up by Liu Junhao.

"I said that every time you come, you have to look at the flower seedlings for a long time, what's there to see, isn't this still open?" Thinking of his flower seedlings, Liu Junhao was a little depressed, he thought that the flowers that Professor Zhao specially brought from the city must be some kind of precious varieties, but when the flower seedlings slowly grew up, he found that there were several that he was particularly familiar with.

When he saw the tender green sawtooth leaves, he immediately recognized that this was the henna often planted by rural children. There is another kind of chili seedlings that he feels like no matter how he looks at them, and he was later told by Professor Zhao that it is chili seedlings. However, its name is just a five-color pepper, and the peppers that produce it are very beautiful.

No matter how beautiful the chili pepper is, it is still a chili pepper, and it will not turn into ginseng, right? Liu Junhao thought it was funny when he thought that he had spent so much effort to level the land but planted a few pepper seedlings.

"I always see that your kid's flower is better than the one in my yard, is it the reason why I use less manure, and I'll get some and sprinkle it later." Professor Zhao is still a little unconvinced, as long as he is idle, he will weed, loosen the soil, and fertilize the flower seedlings, but he is stunned that he is not as strong as Liu Junhao's yard, and the leaves are not as bright as others.

"It's also fertilized, it's only been a few days, and you're not afraid to burn those flower seedlings to death," Liu Junhao also saw it these days, don't look at Professor Zhao is an expert in fruit tree cultivation, but he has a specialization in the art industry, and his level of flower planting is really not good.

They were talking in the yard, but Er Mazi came in, carrying a large bundle of green sweet potato seedlings in his hand: "Xiaohao, this is the sweet potato seedling you want, see if it is enough, if it is not enough, go to my sweet potato pond to dig it, I have more sweet potatoes this year." ”

Liu Junhao hurriedly stepped forward to take the sweet potato seedlings next, and when he dug a sweet potato well for Er Mazi's house last autumn, he said casually, and when the sweet potato seedlings are up and down next spring, he will also leave some for himself, and he also wants to plant a piece of land in the yard.

I didn't expect people to remember it so clearly, if Er Mazi didn't say anything about it, he forgot about it himself.

Sweet potatoes can be planted in two seasons a year, spring sweet potatoes are now planted at the right time, Er Mazi's family also dug a sweet potato pond more than half a month ago to raise seedlings, ready to plant two acres of sweet potatoes in their own fields.

His calculation is quite good, these two acres of sweet potatoes will definitely not be eaten at home, and when the sweet potatoes grow up in the summer, they will be sold directly in the farmhouse, and they will definitely be in demand at that time.

Er Mazi didn't sit here for a long time, and after saying a few words casually, he hurriedly went home to plant sweet potato seedlings, he was not as leisurely as Liu Junhao.

The vegetables planted in the autumn in the yard have not yet been harvested, and the garlic is still growing quite energetically, and there is no sign of yellowing at all. Not to mention the two shallots, they are perennial herbaceous plants, and after eating a few stubbles since last winter, the leaves are still tender and green.

Liu Junhao pondered for a long time and was still ready to take spinach and Shanghai green for a knife, they are basically past the edible season now, and they are all ready to bloom.

So throughout the afternoon, he and Professor Zhao were busy cleaning up the vegetable patch, and Zhao Weidong and his wife were idle, and they also led Xiao Haoyu over to help.

Of course, this little guy is not a stable master at all, so he asked him to take the sea green to feed the grass snails, but he climbed to the circle and caught a few grass snails the size of small eggs, saying that he would go back to raise them.

It is said that after these grass snails have been raised in the pen for more than ten days, they slowly begin to grow in size, and it is estimated that they will be able to eat after a while.

Zhao Weidong looked like he had never done farm work, and he had to grit his teeth and go up with both hands to pull out a spinach. It only took more than 20 minutes to get sweaty profusely.

"You'd better watch us get it from the side," Professor Zhao shook his head, pulled up his trouser legs, and dragged two spinach plants with both hands, and then lifted them lightly and threw them aside. He and Liu Junhao opened their bows left and right in the vegetable field, brushing and throwing spinach and sea greens, and soon piled up two large piles.

And Professor Zhao only gasped slightly after he was busy, which was in stark contrast to Zhao Weidong's image.

When the couple stayed here until four o'clock, Mr. Wang came over and urged them to go back early and go to work tomorrow.

Although Xiao Haoyu didn't want to leave, he was still dragged to the car by his parents, and of course there were more than a dozen grasshoppers and a few big snails in his wine box.

"It seems that our father's decision to retire in the countryside is really right, his health is getting better and better, and he is better than you when he worked just now. I asked our mother yesterday, even she has stopped taking medicine in the past two months," Zhao Weidong's daughter-in-law sat in the car and sighed, "When will I also persuade Haoyu's grandfather to live in the countryside for a period of time,"

When I woke up in the morning, the weather was beautiful and the spring was bright, and the two flower magpies were chirping on the poplar branches as always.

Liu Junhao had just finished eating, and Professor Zhao also came over with a teacup.

They are going to spend the morning today to plant spring vegetables in the vacant land that they cleared yesterday, and of course the sweet potato seedlings will be planted first.

Professor Zhao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he saw those sweet potato seedlings: "Not only did this sweet potato seedling not wilt after leaving it overnight, but it looked much more energetic than yesterday." ”

"Well, I was afraid that they would wilt before I went to bed yesterday, so I deliberately watered them." Liu Junhao didn't say everything, the water he poured was the spring water in the stone lock.

After an hour of busyness, they planted all the sweet potato seedlings in their hands. Of course, there are still a few vacant plots left, but Liu Junhao did not plan to plant sweet potatoes again, but ran to the house to get a few large paper bags, and took this opportunity to take out the vegetable seeds saved last year and plant them.

Gourds, loofahs, tomatoes, eggplants, and more are all available, and each is sprinkled with a large slice.

There is also a lot of open space in Professor Zhao's courtyard, although the thorns in his courtyard have only grown twenty or thirty centimeters tall, and they can't stop the entry and exit of domestic animals at all. But it was a pity that there were so many open spaces, and the two discussed it and scattered the remaining seeds in his yard.
