The Little Days of the Great Landlord

Chapter 38 Mid-Autumn Festival
Drenched in the drizzle, they walked hand in hand on the mountain path, and the two of them felt very comfortable. The two puppies chased back and forth, cheerfully like two elves, running around the two of them, rolling and fighting. noisy.

Calm... Harmony...

"Tell me, why did Mrs. Liu's family plant so much land? I'm a little worried." Thinking of the experiences of these days, Wei Qingqing's face became bitter.

Mrs. Liu's family planted 8 mu of land, all of which were corn cobs. Zheng Baoer also took the autumn vacation to help her mother break the cobs together. The leaves of the corn were all jagged. His face was almost scratched by corn leaves, and he was sweating a little... Every night when he came back, little Bao'er was sobbing. Yang Ming felt very pitiful when he saw Xiao Bao'er's suffering. One day I helped Aunt Liu to break the sticks together. Wei Qingqing had never done farm work, so she thought it was nothing, so she just followed her husband and wife and went to the ground to break the sticks. Who knew, only when she got into the green gauze tent did she know the suffering of the farmers...

"Why don't you go tomorrow..." Yang Ming said with some distress.

"I'm thinking right now, when we helped Aunt Liu break sticks, did your parents also break sticks in the field?" Wei Qingqing said.

"Our family bought a harvester the year before last. If the corn cobs are ripe, we can drive the harvester around and they will all be broken off," Yang Ming said.

The two returned home hand in hand, and Wei Qingqing went directly into the wing room in the front yard, where a pair of young pigeons had been hatched by somersault pigeons. The incubation period of the pigeons was 18 days, and the young pigeons The growth rate is also the same every day. In the past ten days, a pair of young pigeons have grown small awls. Wei Qingqing has to go to the pigeon nest every day to take a good look.

"They have grown a lot, and their little awls are about to bloom..." Wei Qingqing said happily.

Yang Ming also followed in with great interest, and the couple watched the little pigeon with great interest.

The couple gathered around the pigeon nest, pointing happily, but the father was running around in a hurry outside, and the mother was coiled in the nest, staring at her even more, her wings were already trembling, as long as you dare to touch, I will dare to shoot you .

The two somersault pigeons couldn't fly high because their wings were cut off, so this nest was made on the ground. Wei Qingqing frowned, "Husband, tell me, is the pigeon nest made a little lower?" ? If a mouse comes out at night, why don’t you take the little pigeon away?”

"It's over, how can you talk about mice in front of the pigeon nest? You can't talk about this stuff. If you talk about it, there will be mice coming out at night and taking the little pigeons away." Yang Ming stroked his forehead and said.

"No way?" Wei Qingqing didn't believe it, it was too mysterious.

"Uncle Niu told me..." Yang Ming said.

Uncle Niu is the old man who sold pigeons to Wei Qingqing. When Yang Ming and his wife went to the market in Majiagou a few days ago, they met this old man again. My 'idea' will be out of the nest in two weeks, and I will keep it for them then.

Dianzi, a kind of ornamental pigeon, has a short beak and a snow-white body, but a small dot the size of a corn kernel on the tail and forehead is black. Of course, black is only the majority, and there are red ones.

"Ah? What can I do?" Wei Qingqing was anxious. She watched the two little pigeons grow up day by day. If they were taken away by mice, she would feel very uncomfortable.

"How do I know what to do? Why don't you get Miaomiao here?" Yang Ming thought for a while and said.

In other words, Yang Ming also took the time to get Miaomiao into the farm space to optimize for a few days. This guy has become lazy now, and he always looks listless, but he can tell this by looking at his little ears that are always shaking. The guy is on the alert.

"It won't guard itself, will it? It's so wretched..." Wei Qingqing showed a trace of distrust on his face. If you say that Miaomiao is good at catching mice, but if you want him to protect a pair of chicks, it's like Tian Fang Like a night story, it would be nice if this guy didn't eat it by himself, especially since she had witnessed the whole process of Lao Li's big white cat catching birds, and she thought that her own cat's ability to catch birds was by no means inferior to that big white cat.

"What people eat is a bird in a cage, okay? If it wants to eat these two little pigeons, why not eat it already?" Yang Ming justified Miaomiao's name.

"Okay! Let's lock it in the wing room tonight." Wei Qingqing reluctantly chose to trust Miaomiao once.

The two of them left the wing room and returned to the house to cook. The husband and wife started together, one washing the pot and the other chopping vegetables.

Wei Qingqing brushed the pot, and suddenly stopped: "Honey, I'm still a little worried, why don't you put the little pigeons in the farm space?"

"In the space, one day is ten days. When I release them tomorrow, you won't recognize them." Yang Ming was cutting a piece of frozen porcelain pork belly, and said after hearing the words.

In the pasture of the farm space, the four pigs have already given birth to two litters of litters, and the first litter has even grown into pigs and can reproduce. A pair of meat pigeons also hatched three litters, and the first two litters have grown up Now, joining the ranks of multiplying offspring, the ranch can be said to be prosperous.

"Okay then..." Wei Qingqing thought for a while and continued to make trouble.

"Aunt Qingqing, do you think I brought you something?" At this time, Zheng Baoer ran in cheerfully in the drizzle, holding a bunch of grasshoppers strung together with dogtail grass in her hand .

"Grasshopper? When did you catch it?" Wei Qingqing looked at the grasshopper, and her eyes lit up. It's not like there's no harvest after doing farm work these days. There's only one grasshopper. When Yang Ming caught a bunch of grasshoppers, Wei Qingqing fell in love with this delicacy after frying it at home.

"It rained lightly in the second half of the day, and the wings of the grasshoppers were wet. When the cold wind blew, they couldn't even jump, just like picking them up." Zheng Baoer said triumphantly.

"Immediately, make salt water and soak it." Wei Qingqing's mood improved.

"Oh!" Zheng Baoer responded, ran to the cupboard, took out a large bowl, poured water into the bowl, sprinkled some salt, and pulled off the skewered grasshoppers one by one, and picked off the wings. Dropped and soaked in salt water.

"If you eat too much of this stuff, you will easily get mouth sores." Yang Ming reminded.

"For the sake of the food, I'm going all out." Wei Qingqing didn't care at all, and after cleaning the pot, she went outside to hold firewood for the fire.

Yang Ming's family has just moved here this year, and they don't have any firewood in storage, but just guarding the mountain, they can cut two handfuls of grass to make a meal. The tree was cut down and kept as firewood, and a lot of it has been saved in the past month.

"Aunt Qingqing, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in three days. My mother said that I want to bake mooncakes. The mooncakes baked by my mother are the best. I will bring you and Uncle Yang some." Picking the grasshopper, he said.

"No, it's September 9th today...it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival..." Wei Qingqing finally remembered when Xiao Baoer reminded her, "We're almost forgetting about life."

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go back to the city. Anyway, our new house has been installed, and my parents and your parents will be taken over to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together." Yang Ming said.

"Success!" Wei Qingqing thought about it, and it was the same thing, anyway, those two houses were for them to live in.

"Uncle and aunt, are you not here to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Little Bao'er's face fell down.

Ever since her father "went away", the little girl has been living with her mother. Originally, her grandparents were still alive, but the rural people lack enthusiasm for the girl. The two elders usually don't like her very much, little girl These days, I feel very happy to get along with the uncle and aunt who have just moved to live next door to her. I feel that I am loved by someone again. Deep in her heart, she has already regarded her uncle and aunt as relatives, and there is always love for everything. Run this way, during the reunion festival, I also hope that my uncle and aunt can spend it with her.

"Hmph, little girl, do you want to go to the Mid-Autumn Festival with auntie? Go to a big city." Wei Qingqing lit a fire, tempting little Bao'er.

"Really?" Little Bao'er's eyes lit up, but then dimmed, "Dad has gone away, and I don't know when he will be back. My friends all said that my dad will never come back. Now I am the only one at home." And Mom, if I leave again, Mom will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone..."

"..." Wei Qingqing and Yang Ming glanced at each other and fell silent.
