Chapter 21: Willing to look after the house

In this way on the bungalow, the caught birds are not easy to feed. I remember that there was once a pair of wild pigeons at home, and the pair of wild pigeons was caught by my father when he went up the mountain. The pigeon is a very loyal and dedicated bird, with only one mate in its life, and an adult pair of pigeons only lays two eggs a year, and after the two eggs are successfully hatched, they become partners again. There are ancient love stories that have been handed down, why are there no pigeons? If human beings can be as loyal as pigeons for love, then Du Siniang doesn't have to be so painful.

When Dad went up the mountain, he found that there was a bird's nest on the pine tree, climbed up to see, it was two pigeon eggs in the bird's nest, Dad did not touch the two eggs with his hands, because if he touched them with his hands, the big pigeon came back from foraging, and smelled the smell of human beings, so he gave up the hatching of these two eggs, so he waited until the two eggs hatched into pigeons, every time Dad went up the mountain, he would walk under the pine tree, he saw two little pigeons began to practice flying slowly, one night he slowly climbed to the tree with a flashlight, When a flashlight is used to shine on the bird's nest, the pigeon's eyes cannot be opened under the glare of the flashlight. Dad took the two little pigeons home and cut the feathers on their wings short with scissors so that the pigeons would not fly away, and my mother used the pink pigment on the steamed buns for the New Year, applied it to the pigeon's feathers, and bit the whole corn kernels into four petals with her mouth and fed them to the pigeons.

When I was a child, my brother was relatively solid at home, and although he was younger than me, he was about the same height as me at that time, and I couldn't beat him if I fought. When I was a kid I got into a fight with a boy named Ocean, and I couldn't beat him, and he threw me down and rode on top of me, and I was ridden underneath me, and I couldn't resist anything but cry. My personality is more easy-going, never willing to quarrel with people, let alone fight with others, my brother is just the opposite of me, he fights with a dead hand, as long as he moves, never think about the consequences, I saw my brother quickly walked to me and the ocean, reached out and grabbed the ocean's hair, dragged down from me, and then picked up the brick on the ground and greeted the head, at that time, the children who were watching the excitement on the side, including me, were frightened by this scene, at that time the children were fighting and just wrestling, whoever was knocked down first was considered a loser. In the evening, my parents bought some canned fruit and went to Haiyang's house to apologize.

My third aunt's family also had two boys, one was two years older than me and the other was two years younger than my brother, and at that time the four of us played together almost every day, listening to my cousin. Of the four boys, I was the favorite of both families. I was fighting and wrestling with my younger brother, and my younger brother threw me down, and when I rode on top of me, my third aunt would drag my younger brother off of me, press it to the ground, and let me ride on my younger brother, and my younger brother was so angry that he cried and went to his parents to complain. At that time, there was only one bicycle at home, and after school, the children would push their own bicycles to the school playground to play, most of the time I rode the bicycle, and he ran behind. Thinking of learning to ride a bicycle, the bicycles at that time had a girder, we were small, we had to learn to dig the crotch first, and then we could get the legs to the girder, and I said without modesty, at that time, I had not fallen in the well-known ditch in the tunzi.

In the summer, there is a lot of rain, the weather is cloudy, and everything is drying on every house and bungalow, so there is one person left in the family to watch the house. The bungalows are covered with plastic sheeting, and when it rains, they are covered with plastic sheeting. There are some vegetables planted in the garden, so we must watch that the chickens do not go to the garden to cause trouble. According to the general practice of the family, let the youngest child take care of the house, but what puzzles me is that my younger brother has never been willing to watch the house, as long as he let him watch the house, he will cry, which is in the arms of my parents, first, they are reluctant to let me work, and second, whether it is on the ground or on the mountain? My brother is faster than me.

When I was a child, I didn't grow tall, and my neighbors said that my height was so big that my heart was holding on to it, so I didn't grow long. I'm most willing to watch the house, and when they leave, I take a basket to the dirt road and pick up a basket of stones. Then take it home, find a place in the yard, you can see if there are chickens in the garden to harm the vegetables, the sun is not cool place, take a bench and sit down, put a steel sugar water on the side, and then take a children's book in your hand to read, look up every once in a while to see if there are chickens in the garden, if you pick up a stone prepared in advance, drive the chickens away, the terrain of the garden in front of my house is lower than the yard, the beginning is not good, after a long time I throw the stone that is called a quasi, if the chicken does not move there, I can hit it in the head with a stone.

On the east side of my house near the stone stone, there is a small piece of land, this piece of land is too small, it is not worth taking the time to take care of it, so from the day of planting, until the autumn harvest there are people who take care of the house, one person contracted, this piece of land is too small, it is not worth planting anything else, most of the time is planted is Mao Keer, after the autumn harvest to lay melon seeds, you can fry and eat during the New Year, and the rest will be sold for money. During the autumn harvest, the head of the Maoke was cut off with a knife and transported home in a bag, and in the end, only the Maoke pole was still standing in the ground.

In summer, when the weather is too hot, use firewood to cook, the kang will burn too hot, and when you sleep at night, it will be too sinful, and the summer will be hot, and then sleep on the hot kang people are easy to get on fire. Therefore, cooking is the best choice. Although the area near the house is not large, but if you want to transport all the wool poles home, you have to run many times, that piece of land is about 40 meters away from my yard, I tried a few times, if you find a good angle, you can stand in the ground, and throw the wool poles directly into the yard. The success rate is still very high, and if you don't throw it in the yard, you will go over and pick it up and throw it again, this method is good, and it will be regarded as a game, but the time to throw it is sour.

The weight of the pole is a little lighter, and if I focus on it, I can throw it better, and even then I can do it 9 times out of 10.
