small farmer

Chapter 106

the next morning
As soon as Zhang Feng got up, he went to the yard and saw Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu watering the flowers in the yard.

"Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu get up so early?" Zhang Feng greeted with a smile.

"Hehe, as you get older, you won't be able to sleep well." Grandpa Liu said with a hearty smile.

"Yeah, my back hurts if I sleep too much. Why don't you get up early, water the flowers and plants in the yard, and do some activities." Grandma Liu also said with a smile.

After three or two washes, Zhang Feng also practiced gymnastics in the yard by himself. After practicing for this period of time, Zhang Feng felt that his body had made great progress every day. Sensitive, even full of energy, every day is full of energy, not as pale as before, sluggish, and lack of energy all day long.

"What is Xiaofeng practicing...?" Seeing Zhang Feng's weird practice method, the old man was very curious from the beginning, until Zhang Feng finished practicing, he finally couldn't help asking.

"Hehe, this is a brand new kind of gymnastics, which is somewhat similar to the yoga everyone practices..." Zhang Feng said vaguely and briefly.

"So that's how it is..." Zhang Feng didn't say much, and the old man didn't want to ask too much, he just thought it was a bit novel.

After practicing gymnastics, Zhang Feng took a plastic basket and went to the backyard to pick vegetables, and the two elderly people followed, "Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu, you can just walk around the yard, you don't need to come over to help."

"Hehe, it's okay. I have been busy all my life and it has become a habit. If I don't do something every day, I will feel uncomfortable all over my body, as if something is missing." The old man said with a smile, and the old woman nodded with a smile.

The old man has been a chef all his life, busy in the kitchen every day, until he completely retired two years ago, and handed over the family business to his son, who is also Liu Yiyi's father.

Grandma Liu is an elementary school teacher. Although she retired earlier, she has been helping the old man with his business. After the old man retired in the past two years, he gradually became free. Only then did the two old people have time to walk around and see the mountains and rivers of the motherland. .

The two elders who have lived in their [-]s and have traveled almost all over the country finally feel that their hometown is the most beautiful, and that the rural years that were the poorest and most difficult were the most beautiful and unforgettable.

It's a pity that the old man's hometown has been completely submerged due to the construction of a hydropower station. This has almost become his biggest regret. So when he heard his granddaughter talk about Moon Lake a few days ago, the old man was tempted, thinking that this is his hometown in his heart. The mountains and waters are simple and beautiful.

So the two old people came here, they were very satisfied with everything here, and they really wanted to live here forever.

........................

After picking vegetables and eating breakfast, Zhang Lin took everyone up the mountain to pick wild fruits. When the little girl Jiajia heard that there were wild fruits to eat, she also pulled her parents happily and followed everyone to the mountain. go.

After Zhang Feng ate a bowl of noodles, he put on his father's long shoes and walked to the field. Today Zhang Feng was going to pull out the weeds in the field.

The paddy fields are densely covered with rice, so the two super weeding goats, Dabai and Xiaobai, are not very good at the field. In addition, the paddy fields are extremely muddy, and the two fools may not be able to pull out their hooves once they step on it.

Therefore, the weeds in the paddy field have to be done by yourself. About four to five minutes later, Zhang Feng came to the paddy field. The waves are spectacular.

There are not many weeds in the paddy fields, and they grow sparsely in the paddy fields. Because there are few aquatic weeds, Zhang Feng, wearing long rubber shoes, walked into the paddy fields soaked by the river water and began to remove the weeds little by little.

There are mainly several kinds of weeds in the fields, such as barnyardgrass, firefly rush, and special-shaped sedge, among which barnyardgrass is the most, accounting for almost half of all weeds.

Therefore, it is often said that good rice is produced by good plants, and barnyardgrass is produced by bad plants; when the barnyard grass is pulled out, the barn is full of rice. From this we can see how much damage the barnyard grass does to the rice.

Barnyard grass looks exactly like rice, and they are about the same height. The two are mixed together. If you don’t observe carefully, you can’t tell which is rice and which is barnyard grass.
The two grow together like a super imitation show. People who are not familiar with it can't tell the difference at all, so you must be careful when pulling out the barnyard grass, so as not to pull out the real rice.

"Hey! It's this vampire again." Zhang Feng was about to reach out to pull out a weed, but he stopped suddenly. It turned out that he found a leech, which is very common in paddy fields.

Zhang Feng had been sucked blood by leeches when he was a child. He was so frightened that he cried loudly. In the end, his father scraped off the leeches by scratching them hard with rice leaves.

Since then, Zhang Feng has had some shadows about this thing. Every time he sees it, he has to grab it.

This time, Zhang Feng was no exception. He picked the leeches up to the ridge of the field with weeds, and pointed them at them with a lighter. Soon the leeches were burned cracklingly, struggled non-stop, and finally burned into coke.

"Hmph! My buddies never hold grudges, and if they have grudges, they will avenge them on the spot!!"

"Pfft!" Suddenly there was a laugh from behind, "Crazy, you are so funny!"

"Hoohoo! Who did I think it was? It turned out to be you..." Zhang Feng heard the laughter behind him, turned around embarrassedly and saw that it was Liu Yiyi, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hee hee, I didn't expect you to hold grudges like this?" Liu Yiyi said while looking at Zhang Feng with a smile.

"That is, it should be like a violent storm to the enemy, and it should be like a spring breeze to relatives and friends..."

"By the way, how did you come here?" Zhang Feng asked curiously.

"I just walked along the road and walked here. I didn't expect to see such an interesting scene." Liu Yiyi said with a smile.

………………

Seeing Zhang Feng weeding, Liu Yiyi also wanted to go to the field to try it, but when she heard that there were leeches in it, she was immediately frightened, so she had to sit by the paddy field and watch Zhang Feng weed quietly.

"Brother Madman, what are you doing in the field? Are you catching snails?" At this moment, Little Duck and Da Mao came over.

"Yes, where are you monkeys going?" Zhang Feng raised his head and asked with a smile.

"We're going to catch tadpoles..." The duckling was still limping, obviously it was beaten badly last night.

"You monkey, remember to go home early, or your father will catch you and not blow your ass open." Zhang Feng reminded with a smile.

"Got it, crazy brother, let's go back after playing for a while..." After saying that, the guys chased and ran into the field.

"These guys..." Zhang Feng smiled and shook his head. Seeing them was like seeing himself when he was a child, carefree every day, playing wildly in the mountains and plains, free and easy without any worries.

"Madman, is this the kid who was beaten yesterday?" After they left, Liu Yiyi asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's this naughty little kid." Zhang Feng shook his head.

"Then why didn't his parents send him to school? How nice is there a teacher in school to take care of him?" Liu Yiyi asked puzzled.

"Hehe, how expensive it is to go to kindergarten now. It costs 3000 yuan a semester, and 1 yuan a year. Their family farms and only earns more than [-] yuan a year. Do you think parents will be willing to spend so much money? Send the child to kindergarten?" Zhang Feng glanced at Liu Yiyi and said.

After hearing Zhang Feng's words, Liu Yiyi was surprisingly silent. She never thought that the education of rural children would be so difficult.

…………

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhang Feng finally cleared all the weeds in the paddy field. When he saw the neat and green seedlings, he immediately felt refreshed and full of achievements.

"Okay, don't think too much, come and get the snails..." Zhang Feng said with a smile when he saw Liu Yiyi's expression was a little downcast.

"Snails? Are there any in the paddy fields?" Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up when she heard that snails could be caught, she was very interested.

"Of course, there are many more, come and help!" Zhang Feng took a plastic bag and handed it to her, and then the two began to search for this common delicacy by the paddy field.

Field snails generally grow in paddy fields, or beside ditches. June and July are the most fertile seasons. There are a lot of field snails in paddy fields. Zhang Feng and Liu Yiyi only pick the big ones, and keep the small ones to let them continue to grow. , Soon, in about half an hour, the plastic bags of the two were full, and then the two began to head home, talking and laughing, chatting about interesting things in middle school, and walked home happily.
