Chapter Ninety-Four: Flying and Catching Snakes
Lilac insinuated that there are many strong laborers in the big house and many boys, so it stands to reason that life should be better. After so many years, he only saved four times of money, did not buy an extra acre of land, did not add an extra tile, and the land and yard were still purchased by Grandma An An.
And Sanfang, there is only one son, Ding Qin is still a sick seedling, but the days of Sanfang are getting more and more prosperous.
is not only the head of the family, Ding Shan, but also because the Xie family is capable of carrying it.
Ding Xiang is not interested in the separation of the big house, but she is really happy for Ding Sifu.
Ding Zhuang said, "I have been delayed for two days, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will go back to work and come back in the evening for a reunion dinner." Zhaozi and Lichun Niang are ready to prepare, and the day after tomorrow they will be invited to a banquet to thank those who help find profits. Lichun Niang will find some old clothes to change and give them to the four riches. ”
Ding Xiang took three handfuls of cotton thread and taught Ding Sifu to tie the strings. Three were taught, and he was allowed to practice in the blacksmith's shop. When he learns it, he will teach him other ways to play. After learning and playing well, let him tie the silk thread and pay him back.
That night, Ding Sifu slept in the same room with Ding Liren. The lights were turned off very late in the room, and one studied hard under the lamp, and the other practiced hard under the lamp.
Before Ding Xiang got up the next day, Ding Sifu followed Ding Zhuang and Ding Liren to the town.
Ding Sifu couldn't do the work of the iron shop, so he sat under the eaves and practiced playing ropes when he had nothing to do. He was embarrassed to eat for nothing and take money for nothing, and he used the line of his second grandfather's house for nothing. Every day, I rushed to clean, wipe ironware, help the second grandfather pour water to make the bed and wash the dishes, and even the second grandfather washed his feet.
Next door, Mrs. He's house helps the iron shop cook, and Ding Sifu occasionally goes to her house to work.
After a long time, the people in the shop liked him.
Of course, that's another story.
The influence of the Hao clan gradually subsided in Beiquan Village, and the villagers began to harvest the crops in the fields.
The Lilac family planted two acres of corn, one acre of sweet potatoes and two acres of peanuts, and Ding Zhao would stay at home when harvesting crops, plus two short-term workers, and harvest them with Yang Hu.
Sweet potatoes were harvested before, corn is harvested now, and peanuts are harvested last.
The two-room yard is large, so you don't need to go to the drying field to dry the grain, and you can pull it home directly.
Lilac likes to eat fresh corn, and her favorite is bone corn winter melon soup and tender tortillas, both of which she has been making at home since last month.
Of course, she also likes to eat milky corn soup and golden sand corn, etc., which should be kept for her to make later.
Peanuts were harvested on August 23.
When the peanuts are harvested, it is the season that children like, and the smell of peanut pulp wafts in the wind, and there are often one or two peanuts on the ground that have been missed.
The children picked it up and ate it contentedly.
Cloves also like this taste.
She was clamoring to go to her own field, so Ding Zhao led her and Ding Li to come and go.
The wound on Ding Lilai's head was already scarred and not yet complete.
For Ding Li to go to school, Ding Zhuang's father and son are not particularly demanding, this child is not a material for reading.
There are several sloping fields on the hillside to the south of the village, and the five acres of land of the Lilac family are at the top.
There are two acres of land below that belong to Ding Shan's family, and Ding Shan, Zhao's family, and a short-term worker are busy working in the field.
Lilac and Lilac sat under a tree on the edge of their field and ate peanuts.
Yang Hu and the short-term workers dug peanuts, Ding Zhao picked them up in the basket, picked up enough two baskets, and then picked them home to dry in the yard and then came back.
Lilac also instructed her father, "Let Aunt Yang cook a pot of peanuts, my father likes to eat boiled tender peanuts." ”
Ding Zhao agreed with a smile.
The sky is high and the sun is shining. The weather has been warmer these days than some time ago, which makes farmers happy.
Adults are busy in the fields, and children are picking peanuts to eat at the edge of the fields.
Ding Lilai saw that his sister's white and fat little hands were covered with mud, and pouted and said, "My sister has dirty hands." ”
He stuffed a few peanuts in his hand into his mouth, took out a handkerchief from his bosom and wiped the mud from Lilac's hands.
"Peanuts are dirty, don't peel them, sister, I'll peel them for my sister to eat."
"When it's dirty, just go home and wash it."
"No, my sister's white and tender hands are dirty and not good-looking."
Xiao Zhengtai learned some of Ding Lichun and Ding Liren's style, he likes to see his sister clean and white, and she is absolutely not allowed to bury herself.
He was very domineering and did not allow cloves to peel peanuts, peeled one first and put it in his sister's mouth, and then peeled one to eat for himself.
Ding Zhen came with Ding Da Niu.
Ding Zhen sat next to Lilac, and Ding Siniu and several other children picked peanuts on Qianmo Road to eat.
Suddenly, several large birds appeared in the sky, sometimes high and sometimes low, soaring under the blue sky.
Lilac's heart lifted suddenly, and she stood up and shouted loudly, "Feifei, Feifei......"
Ding Li came to see him, and he also stood up and shouted. He didn't dare to push too hard, and his voice was not loud.
Then Ding Zhen and Ding Da Niu shouted, and the other children also shouted.
The big bird flew farther and farther away, to the end of the sky.
Lilac was disappointed.
After a while, they came back and continued to soar above.
The children began to jump to their feet and shout again.
"Feifei, Feifei......"
Lilac didn't dare to stand up and shout, because she was too excited just now, she jumped high again, and a thin layer of sweat had appeared on her body, and a fragrance wafted out.
She hurriedly crushed a pill, and the smell of medicine in her nose suppressed the aroma.
Suddenly, an eagle swooped down and rushed towards Lilac.
Everyone screamed in fright, lest the eagle be hungry and take the child into the sky.
Ding Zhao, Yang Hu, and Ding Shan rushed towards this side.
The eagle rushed behind Lilac and flew into the sky again, with a large snake in its mouth.
The big snake is more than half a zhang long, and the mouth of the small bowl is thick.
The crowd screamed louder.
"God, that snake is too bold, so many people dare to go down the mountain."
"Such a big snake, you can't strangle the child to death, it was the eagle who saved them."
More precisely, it saved Lilac, and the snake was right behind Lilac.
This girl's life is big, Hao didn't get the needle at the beginning, and the big snake didn't bite it today......
Lilac knew that it must be her own fragrance that attracted the snake. She also saw that the eagle had a red veil tied around its leg.
Ding Zhao hurriedly ran over and picked up Lilac, and said in a rough voice, "Go home." Don't follow me in the future, it's too dangerous. ”
Someone else said, "Look at that eagle, it's falling, it's falling in our village." ”
Ding Xiang hugged Ding Zhao's neck and said, "Dad, that eagle is flying, it must have fallen to our house." ”
Ding Lilai pulled Ding Zhao's clothes, and the three of them hurried home.
Before entering the house, I heard the screams of the Zhang family and Yang Hu's family.
"Such a big snake, it scares people to death."
Ding Zhao pushed open the courtyard door and saw a leopard eagle stepping on a big snake, pecking at the snake's flesh, and the snake's body was still writhing.
Zhang and Aunt Yang stood in the distance and did not dare to move forward.
Zhang grew up in the mountains and is not afraid of snakes. But such a big snake is rare, and she is still scared.
Ding Zhao had already seen that the leopard eagle was Feifei. He put the cloves down and went into the kitchen and took out an axe to chop the snake in half.
smiled, "Okay, you don't have to be afraid. ”
