My village can't be like this

Chapter 539 Fatty’s Good News

Early in the morning, Zhang An brought sleepy little Siqi downstairs and found that Zhang and his party were already at home.

"Why did you suddenly come down the mountain today? Do you have something to do?"

Because Zhang and his entourage stayed on the mountain all the time and never went down the mountain if nothing happened, Zhang An thought he came down for something else this time.

"Nothing's wrong, it's just that I recently prescribed a prescription and it's missing a few herbs. You happen to have some in your garden. I came over to dig up some. Besides, I dug some herbs back from the mountains some time ago and I'm still using them now. It’s not there, so I’ll move it in first and plant it.”

Although Zhang An's medicine garden apparently belongs to Zhang An, in fact the person who cleans it up is Zhang Yixing.

Because Zhang An usually doesn't take a look at it when he can't think of it. Instead, Zhang Yixing himself, every time he goes into the mountains to dig out some rare medicinal materials, he will dig them back and plant them in Zhang An's medicinal garden. After all, he really has been taking care of it.

At this time, Wang Fang came out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of hot noodles covered with soy sauce, and placed it directly in front of Zhang Yixing.

"Grandma is here. Go find grandma to wash your face."

Zhang An himself hadn't washed up yet, so he put his son on the ground and asked Xiao Siqi to find his grandma to help wash his face.

Little Siqi didn't know whether he heard it or not. When he saw Zhang An put him on the ground, he rubbed his eyes and ran directly to Wang Fang.

"Hey, Siqi actually left on his own."

Zhang and his party were a little surprised when they saw the little guy running to find Wang Fang by himself.

After all, he hadn't seen many children who could walk at such a young age, and the pace looked steady.

"He is a bit active by nature. Some time ago, he got up on his own and was eager to try. Then I taught him for a few days. Unexpectedly, he really learned it. Now he has been walking on his own for a long time."

Zhang and his party were in Guanli on weekdays, and they didn't go down the mountain during this period of time, so naturally they didn't know the news.

"Then this child has developed quite early. Let me feel his bones later."

Zhang Yixing didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he just felt that the little guy just grew faster.

As for touching the bones, it is actually not that mysterious, especially for children like Xiao Siqi. They usually touch the bones to see whether the child's body bones are developing normally or whether there are any congenital defects.

Moreover, Zhang and his party also planned to train little Siqi from an early age. They could determine whether the child was suitable to inherit his skills by touching his bones.

I haven't touched it before. That's because the little guy was still a baby before and hasn't even developed yet. Even if I touch it, I can't feel anything.

Zhang An has no problem with this, that is, he doesn't know this skill, otherwise he would have already started it.

At this moment, a sound of struggling suddenly came from outside. When Zhang An heard it, he knew that it was his mother washing the little guy's face, because this happened every day.

I don't know why, but Xiao Siqi just doesn't like washing his face. Every time no matter who washes his face, he will struggle and never give up.

Up to this point, it took a lot of effort to wash his face every time. After a long time, Zhang An and Su Ying didn't want to do anything, so they simply left the matter to his grandmother.

Because Zhang An and Su Ying had been worried for a long time, my patience was worn out and I couldn't help but slap him.

In fact, it wasn't so troublesome before. Maybe it was because the little guy was still young at that time and couldn't resist, so there was no need to go through such trouble at all.

But now the little guy's wings are beginning to harden, and the backbone is beginning to show.

However, Wang Fang has much more experience in raising children than the young couple. Although Xiao Siqi would fight hard every time, in the end he still had to obey and let Wang Fang wash his face.

Not long after, Wang Fang came over with little Siqi in her arms and threw it to Zhang An, and then she went into the kitchen to pack food for the two men.

At this time, Zhang Yixing hadn't moved his chopsticks yet, so he planned to touch the little guy's bones before talking about it.

"Qiqi, my god-grandpa is here. Go to my god-grandpa's place quickly."

Zhang An pointed to Zhang and his party and said to Xiao Siqi.

Although Zhang Yixing didn't go down the mountain often, Xiao Siqi was not as repulsive to this godfather as a stranger. He was quite close to Zhang Yixing every time he came over.

Zhang Yixing has always had a feeling of being close to him. Adults may not notice it, but children's movements will be obvious. This may be due to decades of practice.
After the little guy rushed over with a smile, Zhang Yi Xing picked him up and laid him on his legs, then reached out and slowly touched Xiao Siqi's back.

From the back to the legs, he touched it very carefully, as if he was afraid of missing something.

"This child's congenital bones are not bad. They are much better than yours before, and they are indeed developing faster."

After spending a while, Zhang An and his party finally touched all the bones of Xiao Siqi.

"But he is still too young. After all, he is not yet one year old. Taking him to exercise more in the future will help the development of root bones, especially in the morning."

"Yeah, okay, I understand."

Anyway, just exercise more. As for why it should be done in the morning, it is of course because the morning is filled with the rising energy of the sun, which is definitely better than other times. This is the same reason why running in the morning brings the most benefits.

With Zhang and his party's instructions, Zhang An planned to take the little guy out for practice tomorrow.

At this time, Xiao Siqi was happily in front of Zhang Yixin, eating the noodles fed by Zhang Yixin very happily.

He probably doesn't know yet that his career of laziness is over before it even begins.

After Zhang Yi left, Zhang An handed the little guy to his grandmother, changed into coarse cloth clothes for working, and went out with the family's pick and pickaxe to go to Huang Ming's rice field.

Huang Ming originally came over to ask him to come over for breakfast this morning, but Zhang Jianwen went over first, but because Zhang and his party arrived, Zhang An did not go over.

The rice fields of Huang Ming's family are very easy to recognize, because all the rice fields in the village have been planted long ago, and they are all filled with seedlings.

Only Huang Ming's house was different. It was dry and had nothing inside. Even the vegetables planted last winter had been cut down, leaving only a patch of grass. Before that, some people in the village let cows in to graze. Woolen cloth.

Zhang An had been puzzled before, why every household in the village started plowing the fields to plant rice, but Huang Ming's family was not in a hurry and didn't even plow the fields.

Only now did I realize that they had made the decision a long time ago, so they kept the rice fields empty. As for this year’s rice seedlings, they were planted in Mr. Huang’s rice field.

When they arrived at the location, everyone else had already arrived. At this moment, Huang Ming's father, Huang Dabiao, was holding cigarettes and giving them to everyone.

The rice field of Huang Ming's family is at the entrance of the village, and it is only a few steps away from Zhang An's family. Once this house is built, the two families can continue to be neighbors in the future.

After all, when Zhang An lived in the old house, Huang Ming's family lived in front and left of Zhang An's house, not far away.

A few old uncles who work quickly have already taken the strings used for transplanting and started to pull the strings on the areas where the lime has been sprinkled. Later, they can just dig the soil directly in the two lines, and they are not afraid of digging out the footings. Crooked. After the husband has worshiped the chicken to heaven and earth and the firecrackers are set off, we can start work.

Zhang An, like the others, picked up his hoe and started to pick a side.

Because this area has always been a rice field, the mud is relatively soft, making it very easy to dig.

But that's exactly what happened. In other places, you only need to dig one meter for the footing. Here, they have to dig at least 1.2 meters or even 1.5 meters. In places with this kind of soil, the footings are dug shallow and the house is built. It is not strong, and Huang Ming plans to add a second layer in the future.

"Hey, there are so many eels and loaches. Damingzi, hurry up and pick them up. Take them home later and let your mother fry them in a plate. This thing is delicious with wine."

As soon as the soil was dug deep, everyone dug up a lot of eels and loaches, and Zhang An also dug up several of them.

Although people don't eat this stuff very much in normal times, that's because the method consumes a lot of oil and few people are willing to do it.

But I definitely can't let it go today, because when Huang Ming's family cooks meals for so many people, this little oil is definitely indispensable. It can be fried when frying potatoes and peanuts.

As everyone dug deeper and deeper, more and more eels were dug out. Huang Ming did nothing now and was responsible for carrying the bucket to pick up eels and loaches. At this time, he had picked up less than half of the bucket.

Zhang An has to say that the current resources are so good. In future generations, even if this field is dug through, there will probably not be even a few found.

The digging continued until noon, when Huang Ming's family called for dinner and everyone stopped.

The house that Damingzi is going to build this time is not an ordinary three-room private house. Because he is planning to open a store, there is also a front room next to it, which makes it a four-room structure.

So even though a lot of people came today, they only dug half of the work in a long day, and they had to continue in the afternoon.

Back at Huang Ming's house, under the leadership of Second Grandma Huang, Huang Ming's mother and his second aunt and two sisters-in-law had already prepared the meal.

It is said that birds of a feather flock together, and those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. This is absolutely true.

In the past, when Li Jinbiao's family was still in the village, Huang Ming's mother really disliked her because he was close to Li Jinbiao's wife.

At that time, not only did she have trouble with the villagers, but the relationship between Huang Ming's family, Huang Erye, and his second uncle's family was also all because of his mother.

However, in the past two years, as Li Jinbiao's family has been expelled from the village and there is no source of pollution, this man's temperament has slowly changed. He is not like before, where he was hated by everyone.

Therefore, the relationship between the two sisters-in-law gradually eased, and Huang Ming and his second uncle and aunt came to help.

Because it was his eldest grandson who was planning to build a new house, Mr. Huang was extremely happy.

I had already set traps on the mountain yesterday. I went to the mountain early this morning to collect several prey and came back to help add some vegetables.

Since we had to start work in the afternoon, we had to wait till lunch time and didn't drink much wine. It was completely because the owner didn't want to do it and the guests didn't mind.

After finishing their meal and taking a short break to drink a cup of tea, they started to work one after another.

After all, there are so many people doing this job, and it can usually be done in one day.

But this time the house built by Huang Ming was wider, and others were a little unsure. If they didn't finish digging in one day, they would definitely have to come and help the next day.

Not only does this waste your time, but others have to continue greeting you.

So it’s better to start early and finish work early and rest as much as you want.

Finally, before five o'clock in the afternoon, everything was dug out, and the excavated mud spread directly on the ground in a high layer.

There is no need for anyone to take action for the rest, because it is all handed over to Uncle Zhang An and his group.

In the evening, just after Zhang An came back from dinner at Huang Ming's house, Fatty Lu called.

"Hey Zhang An, my friend is getting married next month. You have to come over and cheer me up then."

This time Zhang An didn't even say hello, so Fatty Lu directly stated his intention.

"What the hell? Your fiancée is back from abroad?"

Zhang An was also shocked by this guy. He hadn't seen this guy for a long time, but now he dropped a bomb when he appeared.

"I've been back for a while. You've graduated. Why don't you come back and stay there?"

On the phone, Fatty Lu's voice was completely different from before. It could be heard that this guy was a little proud now.

"No wonder I haven't seen you during this time. You must have been busy with this."

After the New Year, Zhang An felt that he had not seen this guy even a few times. Every time he came to pull fish, it was his masters who came here.

"Yes, I originally planned to take her there to get to know everyone, but getting married is really troublesome. There are too many things to prepare for, so I haven't had much time. Anyway, I have told you that when the time comes But I can’t not come.”

Fatty Lu seemed to be afraid that Zhang An would let him go, so he added another sentence.

"Don't worry, we are all buddies, and we will definitely not be absent when the time comes."

Although Zhang An doesn't really want to go to other places in normal times, and the provincial capital is relatively far from home, he definitely has to go this time.

After all, when he and Su Ying got married, Fatty Lu came all the way to help.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang An began to count the days. By the middle of next month, there would be less than a month.

"Why, who called just now."

At this time, Su Ying came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. She looked at Zhang An and asked what he was thinking about.

"Fat Lu is calling. This guy is getting married next month and has invited us to come over. You should have a holiday in the middle of next month. Our whole family will go there then."

Before Su Ying could do anything, Zhang An had already habitually picked up a dry towel and started wiping his wife's hair.

"That's good. We have a holiday on July 5th. It just so happens that I haven't been to the provincial capital for a long time. My eldest sister has always asked me to take Qi Qi there. We just happened to be together this time."

It doesn't matter if you don't say it. When Zhang An said this, Su Ying suddenly remembered that she hadn't left the village for a long time.

Even if I go out, I will only wander around the city at most. I haven't been to the provincial capital for several years.
