My village can't be like this

Chapter 240
When two horses fight, they usually can't fight to the end. They are not the same as cows.

If you don't fight a cow like this, let it go, and if you fight it, you will hate it to death.

Moreover, when cows fight, it is not easy for people to fight, so this is how the temper of the cow comes.

As for the horses, they beat and beat, and if anyone felt the pain, they would run away by themselves.

After all, they don't have the temper of a cow, and they will definitely hide when they are really hurt. They are not stupid, and they are beaten all the time.

Sure enough, it was similar to what Zhang An said. The two horses kicked each other and stopped after a short while.

Because the new green horse couldn't bear the pain at this time, it stopped kicking its hooves and ran to the other side to hide.

It's just that Dahei didn't want to let it go easily, watched it hide aside, and also chased after it.

After approaching, Zhang An thought that Dahei would continue to kick it, after all, Dahei had kicked other mares a lot.

It's just that Zhang An didn't expect that Dahei didn't continue to move after he slowly approached the green horse.

Instead, he sniffed around the green horse, turned around, and suddenly Dahei exploded directly.

Suddenly raised two front hooves and pressed on the green horse's back, this scene made Zhang An dumbfounded.

"Bah, why did it suddenly happen, Zhang An, let's see how you taught it."

Seeing this scene, Su Ying covered her eyes and ran out.

Because the scene that happened later is really not suitable for children.

"No, how did this become taught by me, me, I was wronged."

Hearing this, Zhang An's face turned black, what does this have to do with him, it's worse than Dou E.

On weekdays, Zhang An didn't teach it these things, so it's his fault for doing so well.

Zhang An really didn't expect that Dahei, who usually looks very upright and not at all feminine, would do such a thing today.

But at this time Zhang An is also very strange, why is this big green horse so obediently being suppressed and not escaping.

In fact, in this posture, if the green horse under Dahei wanted to run, it would easily run away.

But the truth is, this young horse has no intention of running away at all, giving people a feeling of resignation.

The current one is completely different from the one just now when it pouted its hooves against Dahei.

After half the salary, Dahei finished his work like a scumbag and got off the green horse.

And after this guy came down, he raised his head and spit out his mouth, looking very proud.

"You rough bastard, you've grown fat, right? You've also learned to force people. Do you know that this is a crime?"

Zhang An became angrier the more he looked at it, and reached out to slap it a few times.

Originally, I thought that these two horses could be matched, but I needed to get familiar with them for a while.

Unexpectedly, Dahei, who is so prudish, learned to be strong after fighting with others.

It is really fortunate that it is a horse. If it is a person, it is ready to go in and eat national meals for a few years.

And now, the green horse next to her is no longer so noisy, just like a little wife.

Standing quietly beside Dahei, completely lost the irritability just now.

Could it be that he was defeated? Zhang An thought that he would still play in the animal world.

Human beings just don't know each other, but these two animals are fighting and hitting a whole family.

Looking at the two of them, just now they were fighting each other, but now they are smelling each other.

Zhang An couldn't see such a scene, so he added some grass to the circle and went out.

Coming out of the stables, Zhang An found that Teacher Xiao Su was writing on the desk.

"Isn't it two days before school starts? Why do we have to start preparing lessons?"

Zhang An looked at the kraft paper-cased textbook, and it was already prepared for the second lesson.

When Su Ying was in the county, she was in the first grade.

The teaching content that needs to be prepared for the new semester this year is what she taught last year, and she is still very familiar with it.

So Su Ying didn't spend much time, and had already prepared the first few texts.

"Anyway, there's nothing to do when I'm free. I can write a little bit. Anyway, I have to write sooner or later."

Su Ying didn't want to experience the pain of catching up with the teaching content again.

I usually write a little bit at a time, and I don’t feel tired when I add up a little.

But if they are piled up together, when they need to be handed in, it will be really tiring to rush to work.

"I remember you wrote it before? Just find it and copy it. Many teachers do this."

When many teachers want to hand in these materials, they basically just find out the previous things and copy them over.

"They are old teachers with rich teaching experience. They can have their own style and ideas without preparing lessons, so it doesn't matter if they copy them."

Su Ying stroked a strand of hair that fell from her forehead with her hand, and hung it on her ear.

"I don't have much teaching experience yet. If you write more and read more, you can always find the bad things you said in class."

It is said that men are most attractive when they are serious, but girls are also very attractive when they are serious.

Seeing that Su Ying was busy, Zhang An didn't want to disturb her either.

"Then you continue to write, I'll go out to see Tian Shui."

Before autumn, the rice in the paddy fields has begun to bloom.

After these two days of autumn, you can see that the flowers on the millet have ended and the earing has begun.

During this period of time, you need to pay more attention. The water in this paddy field should not be too deep, nor should there be no water.

"I'll go with you. I've written a lot today, and I'm not in a hurry for the rest."

Hearing that Zhang An was going out, Su Ying immediately covered the pen with the cap, ready to go with Zhang An.

"Okay, then let's go now."

Su Ying wanted to go together, but Zhang An didn't refuse. Anyway, the paddy field is not far away, so it's good to go for a walk in the field.

"Mom, let's go to the field to see the water."

Coming down from upstairs, Zhang An found a hoe and took Su Ying with him, and went out to the field.

Before going out, Zhang An still told the mother at home.

"Hey, Xiaoying is going too, why don't you bring an umbrella, the sun is a little bit bad now."

The sun in early autumn was no worse than that in summer. Wang Fang was worried that Su Ying would be exposed to the sun, so she found an umbrella and handed it over.

"Mom, it's okay, I'm wearing a hat."

Su Ying raised the sun hat in her hand to show Wang Fang.

In fact, walking in the paddy field dam does not feel too hot, which may be the reason why the paddy water absorbs part of the temperature.

Now the millet in the field dam is starting to ear, so there are more and more grasshoppers on these millet.

Walking to the Tianba, you can see some grasshoppers jumping around on the ears of rice casually.

At this time, there were many swallows in the sky, and they were all circling low.

From time to time, you can see a few swallows suddenly swoop down and fly over the tip of the rice.

When it flew up again, it already had a grasshopper in its mouth, ready to go back to its nest.

When she came to the field, Su Ying saw the sweet potato vines on the ridge of the field, and she was ready to squat down and start searching.

"Okay, don't look for it anymore, there are no sweet potatoes in the past two days."

Seeing Su Ying like this, Zhang An knew that she was picking sweet potatoes.

Zhang An brought her to look for it once before, and now she misses it when she sees it.

Don't look at the dense sweet potato vines and lush leaves on the ridge.

But the sweet potato fruit period in the wild is generally from June to the middle and late July of the lunar calendar.

After all, as the old saying goes, sweet potatoes are ripe on June [-]th and rotten in July and a half.

After the seventh and a half of the lunar calendar, ripe sweet potatoes will begin to rot.

But it's not absolute, and you can find a few good ones if you look carefully.

Hearing Zhang An's words, Su Ying stood up from the ridge in disappointment.

It didn't rain much during this time, and the sky was always full of sun.

Even though Zhang Jianguo came to release water in this field a few days ago, there is only a shallow layer of paddy field water left now.

So Zhang An took the hoe and went to the ditch beside the field to open the water outlet to let the water flow into the field.

"Hey, who's chicken is here, and this chicken can swim?"

Suddenly Su Ying called Zhang An, and pointed to something that came out of the field above.

"This is not a chicken raised at home. It is called a black water chicken, and we also call it a crake."

It was black and had very long claws, tawny or taupe.

But the most conspicuous place is its mouth and forehead, because this section is all bright red, only a little bit of the tip of the mouth is yellow.

"Don't think it has a chicken in its name, but it's a bird, so it's normal to be able to swim."

"I thought someone's chick had come to the field, but it didn't look like it, the mouth was red."

The appearance of this black water chicken is indeed very similar to that of the native chicken raised in the village.

However, the two paws of this black water chicken are yellow, and the color from the mouth to the forehead is relatively dark red.

The local chickens in the village are all black and black all over their bodies.

As soon as I finished speaking, another one emerged from the rice grove in the field.

As soon as Su Ying saw it, she chased after it and wanted to catch it, but the crake ran so fast that it disappeared in an instant.

"Don't chase after this thing, Zhang Tie can't catch it even if it comes, so let's not talk about you."

There are a lot of these crakes in the fields every summer, and every child in the village wants to catch them when they see them.

But this thing runs very fast, and has been drilling around in the seedling field, so it is difficult to catch.

So it's not easy to catch it, unless you get a trap, you won't be able to catch it.

But it's hard to catch, and it's delicious whether it's fried or stewed.

It is precisely because it is more delicious that it is eaten on the national protection list.

After putting Tianshui in, Zhang An didn't go back right away.

Because you can't put too deep water in the field, so you just stay here and wait until the water level is up, and then go after blocking it.

The two were sitting on the rock beside the field, and it was only at this time that Su Ying noticed the rice in Zhang An's field.

"Zhang An, why does this rice look like it has been dyed, and it's different from other people's rice?"

Walking all the way from the field, Su Ying has also seen a lot of rice.

But on the ears of rice in Zhang An's house, the rice husks turned out to be purple in color.

"Because the varieties are different, everyone grows hybrid rice, while ours is blood rice, which is a self-retained variety."

The difference between this blood rice and other rice can only be seen after earing.

In addition, the plants of hybrid rice are thicker, while the plants of this blood rice grow taller and slender.

It is precisely in this way that this variety is not resistant to lodging, as long as the wind and rain are a little stronger, they can be blown down.

"I thought they were infected with a disease, but this is how the rice looks."

Seeing the blood rice for the first time, Su Ying was very interested, squatting on the edge of the field and staring at them.

In Su Ying's impression, the rice should be golden yellow, because that's what it says in the book.

"It's so blood-red, no wonder it's called Xuedao, it's a very suitable name."

"So, don't be afraid when you have a bowl of blood-red rice for dinner at home."

Not only is the outer shell of this blood rice red, but the rice inside is darker red than the outside.

The cooked rice looks like chicken blood.

"Let's go, we should go back."

The water in the field was almost filled, Zhang An blocked the water outlet, and took Su Ying back.

Along the way back, I met many children from the village who came out to fill the fields with water.

The task of releasing water in the village is usually distributed to the children in the family, because the adults are busy with other things.

And the job of releasing water is also very easy, just dig the water hole and keep it.

Because Changqing Village is very rich in water resources, no one is worried about the lack of water when it is not a severe drought.

And the children in the village like the work of watering arranged by adults very much.

Why, because you can play outside all the time after you come out to release the field water, so don't be too chic.

It is very simple to release water in Changqing Village, just dig the water outlet and keep it.

Let people keep watch, because if no one is there, some people with fields downstream may come to release water.

Seeing that no one was there, I dug up the water you blocked.

There is one person here, and when others come, the most they can do is to discuss it, let it go a little bit, and not dig it all up.

Some people even saw someone releasing water upstream, so they would come back another day or at night, because there was plenty of water in the river anyway.

However, in some places where water is scarce, children can't do the job of draining water.

And not only adults are required to come in person, but sometimes several adults are required to go together, which is not good if there are fewer people.

For example, at Zhang An's grandmother's house, there are many disputes caused by releasing water every year.

But in that kind of place, this is no longer called releasing water, but fighting for water.

This fight for water is not just about competing with people in the same village, but also with people in other villages.

Most of the time, it is a trivial matter to quarrel just for export, and it is often the case that there are frequent fights over water.

The biggest scene Zhang An has ever seen was when his grandmother's Longtoushan Village competed with the neighboring village for water.

After playing, you will not regret it after asking them.

They promise not to regret it, because without this water, the grain in the field cannot survive.

If they could bleed some blood to fill the paddy fields, they would be willing to change anyone.

So Zhang An is very fortunate that he was born in the village of Changqing, at least he did not go hungry when he was a child.

There may be some small frictions sometimes, but after the fight, the two sides in the village will make peace in private.

After all, if he was caught and taken to the police station, he would have to stay at least ten days and half a month.
