Chapter 158: Arriving Home
Li Chaonan's eyes flashed with excitement: "Where is the spring?" ”
Chang Ping looked at the river and searched for memories: "I remember that it was a little to the left. Let's go, let's go, watch our feet, step on the grass mound, or we'll get your shoes wet and get mud! ”
Li Chaonan nodded: "Okay, I know, I'll just follow you!" ”
Chang Ping nodded his head and walked towards the river, and after walking more than ten steps, there were grass mounds, which could not be easily settled at this time, because some places looked like grass mounds were actually relatively tall water plants.
Chang Ping led the way in front, and Li Chaonan followed behind. The water is so clear that sometimes the loaches that step on the grass mounds and hide below escape in fright and swim quickly to the other side of the river.
"Wow! And loaches! Li Chaonan exclaimed again in the back.
Chang Ping turned his head and glanced at it: "Don't worry about them for now, there are still places where you get to the spring, and if you want to catch them, you will catch them there!" ”
Li Chaonan jumped on a grass mound: "Okay, I know!" ”
Chang Ping continued to lead the way in front, jumped to the left front for a while, and then moved to the right front, jumped intermittently for more than ten minutes and finally stopped, looking at a dustpan big pool, the middle of the pool water surging upwards, with a snow-white splash.
Li Chaonan jumped to Chang Ping's side: "Is this the spring?" It's beautiful! ”
Chang Ping nodded, squatted down, stretched out his hand to wash his hands in the pool water, and then took a handful of water and drank it, the entrance was cold and with a hint of sweetness, it was still the taste of childhood.
Li Chaonan did the same, and also took a handful of spring water and drank it: "Wow, it's so cool, and it's sweet, so refreshing!" ”
Chang Ping raised his head and looked at Li Chaonan with a smile: "It's a pity that we didn't take the bottle, otherwise we could bring some spring water back!" ”
Li Chaonan showed a regretful expression: "Why didn't you remind me?" There are no bottles in the car, so can we still come over tomorrow? Let's bring a bucket and go back with a bucket! ”
Chang Ping nodded: "Of course you can come over, load more when the time comes, and bring a bucket to your parents when you go back!" ”
Li Chaonan nodded approvingly: "Well, this suggestion is good!" After saying that, he picked up a handful of water and drank it. It's so cool, it's delicious! ”
Chang Ping smiled and said, "If it's delicious, you can drink more!" We'll go back when we're done, and it's not too early! As he spoke, he looked at the sun, which was already setting in the west.
Li Chaonan looked at Chang Ping in surprise: "Let's go back?" I haven't had enough of it! ”
Chang Ping looked at Li Chaonan and smiled: "If you haven't played enough, continue to play, and we'll come back when you're tired of playing!" ”
Li Chaonan shook his head: "Forget it, come over tomorrow, let's go back early, if you go back late, your uncle and aunt can't rest early!" ”
Chang Ping nodded: "Okay, listen to you!" Do you still catch loaches? ”
Li Chaonan looked at the water and shook his head: "Forget it, there is nothing to pretend!" ”
Chang Ping looked at Li Chaonan and said, "Just catch it, there must be a way to bring it back." When the time comes, it is especially delicious to fry it with salt! ”
Li Chaonan looked at Chang Ping suspiciously: "Really? What's that for? ”
Chang Ping smiled mysteriously: "Look at it! After speaking, he left the edge of the pool and walked to a pile of Ma Lian, grabbed Ma Lian with both hands and dragged it down, and a pile of Ma Lian was half cut down. Li Chaonan squatted beside Chang Ping, watched him, picked up Ma Lian and began to drum.
Chang Ping first used eight horse lotus to make the base, and then added horse lotus to the top one after another, and after a while, a cage the size of a bottle appeared, to be exact, it should be a single-bellied gourd.
Li Chaonan took the Ma Lian gourd from Chang Ping's hand and exclaimed: "I didn't expect you to have this skill!" ”
Chang Ping said with a smile: "I learned it from the old people when I was a child, and I haven't forgotten it all these years!" After saying that, he got up and walked to Xiaotan. Let's go, let's catch loaches, compare who catches more! ”
"Okay!" Li Chaonan got up and chased after Ma Lian gourd.
"Oops, it's so slippery, I caught it in my hand and ran away!"
"Wow, this one is so big, it's so fast!"
"See, I've already caught one!"
"Hmph, don't be complacent, I'll catch it soon!"
Two people talking and shouting rang out from the edge of the pool. An hour later, Li Chaonan left the river with a gourd loach and Chang Ping.
Li Chaonan took the gourd in front of him and took a look: "Chang Ping, do you think your uncle and aunt will talk about us?" When I came back, I didn't go home directly, but I came to catch loaches! ”
Chang Ping shook his head: "No, don't worry!" It's too late for them to be happy, how can they say about you! ”
"Hmph", Li Chaonan snorted coquettishly. "I've been spoiled by you, and if my uncle and aunt talk about me, I'll say you brought me here!"
Chang Ping covered his forehead and made a wronged expression: "Okay, I originally brought you here, otherwise you wouldn't have found it yourself!" ”
Li Chaonan nodded: "Yes, yes." This explanation is very correct! I'm so smart! ”
Chang Ping rolled his eyes. This is all boasting about yourself, is it too much to release your nature?
Li Chaonan reluctantly returned to the car with Chang Ping, even if he got in the car, he repeatedly told Chang Ping to come over again tomorrow.
Chang Ping's house was in the west of the town, and the car drove into a forest, where the trees more than ten meters high grew lush and green, and a winding path led to the inside of the forest.
Li Chaonan looked out the car window: "Does your family live here?" "The trail is lined with leafy trees, some with crows and magpie nests on their branches, and birds chirping and frolicking in the canopy.
Chang Ping nodded: "Yes!" But you have to go inside! ”
Li Chaonan turned his head and glanced at Chang Ping: "I'm really envious, jealous and hateful, why is the living environment so good?" Every day when I get up, I look at the trees and listen to the birds. ”
Chang Ping glanced at Li Chaonan with a smile: "You can also live here in the future, and this will be your home in the future!" What do you have to envy? ”
Li Chaonan laughed happily: "Yes, it will be my home in the future, what do I have to envy, why am I so stupid!" ”
Chang Ping smiled and didn't speak. The car continued to drive forward, and after a small forest, a house came into view. The five red tiled houses sat under a large tree, each as thick as an adult's waist, and for a moment it felt dark, and the sunlight was blocked by the canopy.
Li Chaonan looked at the house in front of him and looked at Chang Ping: "Have you arrived?" ”
Chang Ping nodded: "Yes!" "Pushed the door open and got out of the car.
Li Chaonan got out of the car and looked at the courtyard in front of him, the yard was fenced with tree branches, about five or six hundred square meters, and there were two small fences next to the courtyard.
Chang Ping pointed to the small fence and introduced: "The one in front is a sheepfold, and the one in the back is a cattle pen." After the grazing, the cattle and sheep were scattered, and they came back after eleven! ”
Li Chaonan looked at Chang Ping: "Are there many sheep and cows?" What does it mean to be sprinkled? ”
Chang Ping shook his head: "I don't know how many sheep and cows there are!" The meaning of the field is to send the cattle and sheep to a special free-range place, and there are special cowherds and sheep herds to manage, and we only need to pay labor fees! ”
Li Chaonan nodded in understanding.
Chang Ping took Li Chaonan's hand: "Let's go, go in!" As he spoke, he walked to the wooden gate, only to find that it was locked. Chang Ping was immediately dumbfounded, his parents are not at home?
"Wangwang", the sound of a dog barking suddenly sounded in the yard, and in an instant, the whole forest was "Wangwang".
Chang Ping looked into the courtyard: "Black back, don't call, it's me!" "The barking of dogs suddenly died down, and the sound of chains being dragged could be heard in the yard." Let's go, jump right in! ”
Li Chaonan's eyes were full of smiles, meaning that he said what he said to you, and he was pleasantly surprised, but he couldn't even enter the house.
The yard was really big, and there was a pile of dried cow dung next to the door, and a neat pile of dried branches next to it. A carload-wide path was paved with gravel in the yard, and on both sides of the path were patches of vegetable patches of the same size, in which the vegetables were grown, tomatoes and peppers had bent their branches, green cucumbers hung on the supports, and most of the coriander had small white flowers that exuded a strong fragrance.
Chang Ping introduced as he walked inside: "I can't eat all the vegetables I grow every year, and many of them are given away!" When we go back, pick more, this vegetable is not planted with chemical fertilizer, it is all sheep manure fertilizer, and no pesticides are played, real pure green vegetables! ”
Li Chaonan is like a curious baby, and his eyes have never left the vegetable pool. It's fennel, right? This is celery, this is leek, this is cabbage, this is lettuce, the one over there should be a radish with thin leaves, and the one with thin ears should be a radish? Oh my God, it's so well planted, I don't have to buy vegetables for a year, and it's all pure green vegetables, which people in the city can't eat at all. Suddenly, a red thing came into view, and I fixed my eyes on a tomato.
Chang Ping withdrew his hand: "You take me and get some water for you to wash first!" After speaking, he walked to the pressurized water well, poured a bucket of water into the pressurized water well, Chang Ping grabbed the handle and pressed it, then lifted it up and pressed it again, and so on seven or eight times, and the water flowed out of the well. When I was a child, everyone went to the big well to fetch water to drink, and then every household installed this kind of water well to pump groundwater to drink, but the town has now been replaced with tap water, and my parents think that tap water is not good, so they don't install it, and they have been using this kind of pressurized water well! ”
Chang Ping stretched out his hand to Li Chaonan and said, "Bring it, I'll wash it for you, there is no pesticide on it, you can eat it by rinsing it with water!" ”
Li Chaonan handed the tomatoes to Chang Ping: "Okay! ”
Chang Ping washed the tomatoes and handed them to Li Chaonan, Li Chaonan opened his cherry mouth and took a bite, and the pure tomato flavor and sweet taste instantly filled his mouth. "Wow, it's delicious! What's over there? He pointed to the fence on the west side of the yard......
