Go back to the valley to farm

Chapter 587
Chapter 580 Stealing

In the evening, A Yin and Li Junge went to the ancestral hall for rehearsal.

Alice and Shirly are already tall enough, but they still have to play on stilts. If the center of gravity is too high, it is inevitable that they will not be able to walk stably, and it takes much longer practice time than others.

The two younger sisters were laughing and laughing and having fun, and Li Junge could only grit his teeth watching it.

Aunt Bai took a break from the quarrel with the fourth grandfather in the ancestral hall, and the two were deliberating on poems at a small table.

Seeing Li Junge coming in, Aunt Bai shook her hand, "Pi Wa, come and see this."

Li Junge went over to pick up a piece of white paper in front of the two of them, on which was an English poem.

……

when i close my eyes
or look out a window.
for more than a few minutes,

so that some days I think
it must be everything and nothing at once.
But this morning, sitting up in bed,

wearing my black sweater and my glasses,

the curtains drawn and the windows up,

I am a lake, my poem is an empty boat,
and my life is the breeze that blows
through the whole scene
Stirring everything it touches——
the surface of the water, the limp sail,

even the heavy, leafy trees along the shore.
Aunt Bai said: "This is "My Life" by Poet Laureate Billy Collins. Your translation of A Yin's You Fang Ge is quite good. Can you try this?"

Li Junge said: "Translate it into an ancient poetry style?"

Aunt Bai nodded: "Well, let's treat it as a small game for leisure and relaxation."

Li Junge said: "My brain is going to boil all day long, Aunt Bai, can you spare me?"

The fourth grandfather said: "That's just a change of mind. Haven't you done your homework for a long time? This is your homework for tonight."

Now that the fourth grandpa had spoken, Li Junge had no choice but to sit down, dipped his fingers in water and made gestures on the table for a long time, then picked up a pen and wrote a few sentences on the white paper.

"Closing eyes will eventually become a reality, and gazing at the window will see nothing in an instant.

It's early to take clothes and push the mirror, and open the account to open the curtain.

A good sentence creates an empty scull, and a poetic heart melts into a flat lake.

Floating piles of phantoms, the breeze is alert to everything.

The wave sails are dragged obliquely, and the lush embankment trees are shaken in the air. "

After finishing writing, I respectfully handed the paper to the Fourth Grandpa: "I'm in a hurry, I can roughly translate it like this. There must be a lot of scrutiny between the lines, Fourth Grandpa, please correct me..."

The fourth grandfather read it, and nodded slightly: "It's okay, the words and sentences are not precise, but you understand the poetry, I will save it for your aunt to show her when she comes back."

After finishing speaking, she pondered: "But she is good at translating Chinese to English. If she is good at translating English to Chinese, she is probably not as good as your cousin..."

Li Junge said with a smile: "In fact, some of us have talked about this poetic meaning long ago. Isn't this the wonderful commentary made by the Sixth Patriarch before he ascended the altar?" ,not fresh."

The fourth grandpa laughed loudly: "Hahaha, really, you pass the test, let's go to the dragon dance!"

Aunt Bai saw that Li Junge went to chat with the dragon dance team for a while, and then began to practice cheerfully. She turned her eyes and picked up the poem draft on the table to read it again. She shook her head and sighed to the fourth grandfather: "This Boy, in fact, you can go this way, our brother likes such spiritual people..."

The fourth grandfather looked at Li Junge and said with a smile: "Let him be happy, I can see now that he lives more comfortably than my boss."

"There is no such thing as a person who seeks to be self-exalting... This pursuit is not only external desires, but also internal harshness. He, although his family studies are Confucianism, in fact, his nature is more Taoist. The drunkard's intention is not in wine, but in the mountains and rivers. ..."

Li Junge didn't know how the fourth grandpa thought of him. After dancing the dragon all night, as soon as the bamboo pole was released, he felt hungry!
This Lijiagou has no roadside food stalls, and it is not appropriate to go to the farmhouse at such a late hour. Discuss with Wan Dali Miaowa to steal Hudou!
Xiaocaolong from the Miao family of the Agricultural University was also in the training team. Wu Zhiqiu, with sharp ears, pulled Lin Zhao over and said, "If I don't report and expose, then I have to count us in!"

A group of people giggled and summed up softly, still the same routine as they were when they were children. Li Junge went to the fourth grandfather’s small kitchen next door to steal pots and salt, Wan Dali went home to steal sausage and bacon, and Miao Wa went home to steal wine.

As a result, Li Junge led Lin Zhao and Wu Zhiqiu to wait at a stream on the river beach. Miao Wa had been there for a long time, and Wan Dali was late with bacon and sausages.

Li Junge scolded: "What's going on?! A group of people have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Wang Dali said: "I rely on this village to change too much this year, and I remember the mouth of Xikou wrongly, and there is no one..."

A few people laughed and walked along the river beach for a while, and came to a sandy beach. Li Junge said: "That's it, Dali and Miaowa have been old thieves for many years, you go to pick peas, remember to get some green onions! Zhao Wa and Zhiqiu are newbies, so you just pick up firewood, and I'll chop the meat!"

The five of them worked together, and when they met again, Li Junge had already cut a few plantain leaves to make two baskets, chopped up sausage and fatty bacon, and put them in one basket.

Then Miao Wa and Wan Dali opened the trouser legs, and countless broad bean pods leaked out from under the trouser legs.

Lin Zhao was amazed when he saw it: "What the hell is a long-standing old thief!"

Wan Dali smiled and said: "Don't make trouble, I'm the village security director! This belongs to Uncle Dongfang's family. Brother Qing and Sister-in-law Fanmei have earned a lot this year, so I'm just stealing from the rich and helping the poor..."

The five men began to laugh and peel the soybeans by the firelight.

Hudou beans are broad beans. At this time, the broad beans are just edible and the most tender.

However, Lin Zhao and Wu Zhiqiu's way of peeling beans was too bad, so they laughed Wan Dali and Miao Wa upside down, and Wan Dali said, "According to the peeling method of the two of you, it will be dawn if you eat it! Look at us! "

After speaking, each of the left and right hands picked up a bean pod, with the index finger and ring finger on the top, and the middle finger on the bottom to hold the bean pod and make a fist. The bean pod broke from the middle, and the broad bean jumped into the banana leaf basket by itself.

As soon as Li Junge and Miao Wa joined in, the fresh beans were fired into the plantain basket like machine gun bullets.

Lin Zhao and Wu Zhiqiu enjoyed watching it, and began to follow suit.

After a while, most of the basket was filled with broad beans.

Li Junge boiled the lard in the pot, first put in the fat bacon to get out the oil, then sautéed the sausage until fragrant, poured the broad beans in and handed the basket to Wan Dali: "Go fetch water!"

Lin Zhao said, "You haven't washed your broad beans..."

Li Junge rolled his eyes while stir frying: "Stealing food is so particular! Looking at what we peeled out, do you think it needs to be washed? This process is directly saved!"

Wan Dali came over and poured water into the pot, Li Junge added salt and stirred well, then put the lid on and stewed the peas.

Wash the green onions in the remaining water, share a small handful among each person, chop into small pieces and throw them into the basket where the sausages were first placed.

Wu Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "Looking at your process, you really did a lot of things when you were young, it's obviously optimized..."

Miao Wa and Wan Dali pointed at Li Junge: "He! He taught him!"

Li Junge rolled his eyes: "Hey, hey, hey! When did it not come from you first? You have the nerve to talk!"

Lin Zhao's eyes were full of envy: "It was so much fun when you were young..."

Miao Wa laughed and said, "Where is this? Just talking about food, when I was a child, I roasted eels, loach, roasted sparrows, bee pupae, cicada monkeys, mussels, snails, frogs, shrimps, fish, crabs, and snakes." ..."

Wan Dali said: "You are all meat, and there are a lot of vegetarian ones. The ones grown by others in the fields are not counted. The wild ones include San Yue 萢, wild bayberry, wild sweet potato, tea tree bubbles, plums, sour Grass, sour stalks, prickly pears, crutches..."

Li Junge concluded: "Picnics may be once a semester for you children in the city, but for us, they can be held every day."

After speaking, he fell into memory again: "However, half a mountain was burned that time, and the good times are over..."

Wan Dali said: "Yes! My dad came back and raised eyebrows and green eyes with me, saying that if I dare to do what you do, he will directly put me on the hanging beam and be reborn with my mother!"

Miao Wa cut out a few bamboo cups, poured wine, served it to Li Junge first, and then said to Wan Dali: "I actually made it up. Erpi said that if my father found out, he might really beat me to death." , so I took the blame. Come to Erpi to respect you, I have been friends with the two brothers for a lifetime, and you will be my brother from that day on!"

Wan Dali was dumbfounded with his wine glass in his hand, and it was the first time he knew the truth today: "I rely on me to say why the friendship between you two suddenly became so good after that incident, so there is still this one! My God, if you Uncle Orion knows that it was you who burned down half a mountain, and your baby will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "It's been so long, why mention it? Besides, with my naughty childhood, it will be a matter of time before I burn the mountain! Later, it was a blessing in disguise to study for the fourth grandfather. By the way, Dali, Shuqin How are you getting on?"

Wan Dali laughed: "I've been to the door several times, we are different from you and A Yin, but I went through the formal process with Granny Wang..."

Miao Wa also laughed: "Come on, it's a formal procedure. When I was patrolling the mountains, I never saw you two secretly kissing behind a tree? It's not rare to jump out to scare you!"

Wan Dali blushed immediately, and was about to rush over and pinch Miaowa's neck: "Damn! You peeping dog!"

Miao Wa plausibly said: "I still need to peep? Next time you do this sneakily, pay attention to the sky, the pockmarked head and the golden retriever are staring at you!"

Li Junge was surprised and said, "What's the matter with pockmarked hair and golden hair?"

Miao Wa said proudly: "Aren't pockmarked and golden retrievers allowed to carry camera equipment? Now we patrol the mountains and usually release these two goods at the foot of the mountain. They will fly around along the patrol road, and we will monitor them for any abnormalities. , go to the next line without us..."

Li Junge couldn't laugh or cry: "You guys are really lazy..."

Miao Wa said: "My father said that the eagle must be released frequently, otherwise it will be useless!"

Li Junge said: "Then when will I go with you to see..."

Miao Wa shook her head lightly: "It won't work after the winter vacation. The kids will go play hide-and-seek with them. A group of kids will find a valley cat, and let Ma Tou and Jin Mao find them one by one."

"What kind of eyes do you think these two guys are? It was supposed to be a good day, but the kids haven't won yet, so it's more competitive..."

Li Junge stared at the sky in a daze, but his thoughts were on another channel: "I really want to play..."
