The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 41
After the exhaust fan was installed, Wang Shaodong nodded in satisfaction as he watched the chicks in the chicken coop eat their fill and run back and forth happily, with joy on his face.

My chicks are almost a week old, much longer than when they first arrived at my house.

The air is muggy, and heavy rain is coming at any time.

Wang Shaodong didn't eat breakfast, and now he felt a little hungry, so he shouted to his mother: "Mom, I'm hungry."

"There are big steamed stuffed buns in the back room, go and eat them. I'm calling you in the morning to go after dinner, but you ignore me."

When Wang Shaodong heard it, he looked at his mother with a playful smile and asked, "Are you a little anxious in the morning, aren't you, mother, what's the matter?"

"Tofu with chives."

When Wang Shaodong heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, I just like this big bun stuffed with leeks and tofu."

After finishing speaking, Wang Shaodong hurried to have lunch.

Seeing her son go out, Zhao Shiling sighed and said, "Master, does your son seem to be planning to repeat his studies?"

Wang Fumin shook his head and said, "My son is really good at raising chickens."

His son went to Ning'an to contact the chickens. From feeding to drinking water, from chicken coop management to vaccination, nothing in raising chickens could trouble his son, so Wang Fumin frowned.

Zhao Shiling said firmly: "No, master, our son has to go to college. Otherwise, you can find Lili, the daughter of the Zhentang family. They grew up together, and let her persuade our son, Might work."

Wang Fumin frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It's not suitable for me to go as a male elder, you can tell her. If Lili can really persuade our son to repeat his studies, after Lili's university admission letter comes , let's wrap her a bigger red envelope."

Zhao Shiling felt that what her husband said made sense, thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Then, when it's cooler tonight, I'll tell her."

Wang Fumin nodded, then turned to look at the chicks in the chicken coop.

There was a click, and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and then, the dark clouds suddenly gathered. Before Wang Fumin and his wife could react, the big raindrops fell from the sky and hit the roof of the shed with a loud crackling sound.

Suddenly Wang Fumin realized something, patted his thigh and said: "It's broken, there is no umbrella in the greenhouse."

"Oh, I forgot to tell my son that there are sticks boiled on the top of the pot. Don't burn the aluminum pot if you don't watch the boiled water later." Zhao Shiling became worried.

The rain is too heavy, let alone without an umbrella, even if you go outside with an umbrella, you will be wet by the splashed water droplets on the ground.

However, as soon as the couple finished sighing, they saw their son holding an umbrella in one hand, two umbrellas in the other hand, two big buns in his hands, and a big bun in his mouth. He ran in from the shed door.

"It's raining too much today."

This rain was the biggest rain that Wang Shaodong could remember in his life. It started pouring for two hours, and then the rain became lighter, but within two or three hours, the rain would come again. start to grow up.

I don't know which naughty child offended the old dragon king, and then made such a heavy rain in this small valley.After the heavy rain, Wang Shaodong remembered that the mountain torrents came rolling in.

Fortunately, the geological structure of the mountains around Taohualing Village is very old, the mountains are very solid, the mountains are relatively smooth, and there is very little soil on the mountains, so no geological disasters have been caused.Such heavy rainfall is dangerous in areas prone to mudslides.

Taohualing Village is backed by Nanshan Mountain and is located at the foothills to the north of Nanshan Mountain. There are many springs on the mountain, which converge into streams.When there is heavy rain in summer, the creek overflows and flows down the small river ditch east of the village.When the rain is heavy, the water in the ditch is full and floods up, flooding the bluestone road by the river.

The Qingshiban Road is the only road leading to Qingquanling Village. Once the road is flooded, primary school students cannot go to Qingquanling Primary School.

Taohualing Village is too small to set up a school, so the children in the village usually go to Qingquanling Primary School in the neighboring village.

When he was a child in his previous life, Wang Shaodong wished that it would rain heavily so that he would not be able to go to school, so that he could play at home.Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, Wang Shaodong has a lot of affection for rain.Maybe it's a habit since childhood, every time it rains, Wang Shaodong's mood improves.

Seeing their panting son running over with an umbrella, Wang Fumin and his wife were actually quite relieved, but the people in the mountains are simple and don't know what appreciation education is. Even if their son has performed well, he rarely To compliment a few words.

People in the village don't like to see those who often praise their children.

"This rain is really heavy." Wang Shaodong showed an exaggerated expression on his face.

Zhao Shiling nodded in relief, and when she saw the umbrella, she suddenly thought of the aluminum pot with sticks on the top of the pot in the small shed, and hurriedly said: "You two save some stomach, our family has boiled sticks."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shiling picked up the umbrella that Wang Shaodong put at the door of the shed, rolled up his trousers and went out.

"Hey, cook the sticks and eat them, it's great."

The current corn is very tender, and it tastes very good when cooked.

Wang Shaodong handed one of the big buns he brought over to his father, Wang Fumin, and put the remaining one on a table outside the small chicken coop surrounded by plastic sheets. People folded the bed, and the bed was hung with a mosquito net.At night, Wang Fumin guarded the chicks in the coop.

Raising chickens is a very hard job, especially the chickens raised in summer. The mosquitoes and flies are fierce and the heat is so hot that many people can't bear it.

However, Wang Shaodong likes this kind of challenging work very much, especially when the customer service has encountered many difficulties and successfully raised the little chickens into big roosters, and then sold them in exchange for tickets one by one. People are happy.

The father and son looked at each other with a smile, and then both ate big buns stuffed with leeks and tofu, while looking at the little chicken running around the chicken coop with a full stomach.

The yellow fluffy chicks are very cute. It is no wonder that the work in the chicken coop is to eat, drink, play and sleep.

In one corner of the chicken flock, a large area of ​​chickens lies down and sleeps quietly, while the large area on the other side is used as a playground by energetic chicks.The chickens are very well-behaved, and the playing chickens will never make trouble in the sleeping area.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and the inside of the chicken coop gradually became stuffy due to the lack of air circulation. Wang Shaodong pulled the switch of the exhaust fan, and then the high-power exhaust fan started to work.

Soon, the air in the coop will be much fresher than before.
