My village can't be like this

Chapter 8 Space Big Cherry

I went to bed early last night and fell asleep right next to the bed.

Zhang An, who woke up to the sound of cock crowing, had long since dissipated his fatigue.

On the wall clock on the wall, the hour hand is pointing to nine o'clock.

In the yard, his father Zhang Jianguo had already surrounded the pool with stones.

Because there is no cement, if no one builds a house in the village, there is nowhere to look for this thing, so you can only go to the town to buy it.

So I gave up the plan of building a pool enclosure with stones.

After putting water all night, the pond was already full. Since the stream was lower than the courtyard dam, the water did not reach the ground.

After the water in the pool soaks for a few days, the silt foams and sticks to the bottom and walls of the pool, so the amount of seepage will not be much.

So Zhang An was not in a hurry to let the fish in.

Wang Fang, who had just finished feeding the pigs, had a puzzled expression on her face.

"His dad, is there something wrong with our pig? I used to only eat cooked pig food, but now I don't eat it at all. I just eat the cut pig food."

Hearing that Zhang Jianguo went to the door of the pigsty to look at it for a long time.

"Didn't they all be cooked and fed before? Why did you feed them pig vegetables directly?"

Zhang An knew it well, and continued to fool his old parents.

"I put that in. I didn't expect them to like eating grass so much. They have been eating it for several days. But it's good, it can save a lot of corn."

"But without corn noodles, can this pig grow meat?" In my mother's mind, the pigs raised in the farm are fed like this, and it is difficult to get fat without adding grain.

"Why can't it grow meat anymore? Look at the wild boar in the mountains, they can still grow so big by eating grass every day, so don't worry. Look, the stripes on the back of this pig have started to shine recently."

It is true that it is strange to eat the grass in the space every day and it does not change.

"Let's feed them like this first, and save some effort. If they don't seem to be fat later, then feed them corn. If they can get fat, save the corn and sell them."

The pig didn't care much because it was busy, so it was fed two pots of pig food every day.

So it looks a bit long-haired and pointed-mouthed, but it looks much better recently.

What his son said made sense, so Zhang Jianguo felt that he should be fed like this for a while.

It also saves a lot of effort.

Zhang An took a look and saw that there were not many pig vegetables piled up under the eaves, so he prepared to go out with a basket on his back.

"Dad, Mom, I'll come back from cutting baskets of pig vegetables, it's not much." Going out is just an excuse, you can't just get the grass out in front of your parents.

Zhang An didn't plan to tell his parents about the space after thinking about it, because it was too scary, and it wouldn't be good to make them worry about it.

Zhang An, who went out with a basket on his back, originally planned to go to Tianbali.

But as soon as I thought of the cherry of space, I changed my way and walked into the mountains.

I found a deserted forest and entered the space with a basket.

I cut some grass to put the bottom of the basket, and then started picking cherries. I only picked a tree branch, and the basket already contained seven or eight catties.

Finally, the basket was filled with grass, and Zhang An was out of the space.

In the mountains and forests in summer, there is no silence in winter.

From time to time, there was a pheasant crowing in the distant forest.

The sun shines on the tree, and only spots of light are sprinkled through the leaves, which looks like a horse lantern.

Zhang An, who had been wandering in the mountains for a long time, did not go further into the old forest.

This area is all uncultivated cornfields in the village, and if you go deeper, you will be in the forest, and the road is not easy to walk.

Originally, I wanted to find out if there were any beautiful wild flowers and trees, and transplant them into the space, but I gave up after searching for a long time without seeing them.

When Zhang An returned home, his mother had already prepared lunch.

"Mom, take out the vegetable pot and I'll decorate things." While taking out the grass in the basket and piled it aside, he called to his mother.

Wang Fang came out with a dish for vegetables, looked at the pile of purple-red cherries in the basket, and laughed involuntarily.

"Where did you pick them? The cherries in this village aren't that big, are they?"

"Hey, this is picked from a few old trees on the side of the wild boar rock (ai). Mom, you can try one, it's delicious." Put the cherries in the pot.

Wang Fang followed her son to pick and ate a few.

"The cherries are delicious. I have never eaten such delicious ones."

"That's right, I also think that this one is much tastier than the ones grown at home in the village. Not to mention the big ones, the pits are still small, and it's not sour at all."

The cherries grown in the village are red and have a slightly sour taste. Not to mention the small fruit, the pit is still very large, so there are not many edible ones.

So if you eat too much, your gums and teeth will be sour, and you won't be able to eat anything.

Unless it is completely red, it will not have that sour taste, but if it is too red and overripe, it will be difficult to pick. You climb on the tree and fall to the ground.

The cherries in the space do not have this side effect, and Zhang An has eaten a lot from time to time in the past few days.

So he thought about finding a chance to get some out for his parents to taste.

"It's got to be seven or eight catties. Forget it, don't eat it, and sell it in the town. Those small ones are sold for three or four yuan a catty. This one can't be cheaper than those. It can always be sold. It’s a few tens of dollars, it’s a pity to eat it.”

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Fang got something good, she thought about exchanging it for money.

"Mom, even if you want to sell it, it's too late today. It's not a good time to go now. There are not many people on the street in the afternoon. It may be broken by tomorrow morning. If you don't eat it, it will be a waste."

"But it's a pity to eat this, how many catties of pork can I buy with this." Wang Fang is really a pity, all he eats is money.

My family is busy throughout the year, so I can only save a few hundred to one thousand yuan at most, and I usually have to save money on food and expenses.

So Zhang An comforted his mother.

"Mom, it's just a few catties of cherries. There are still a lot of cherries on the tree. I'll get up early on Sunday and pick some more. Let's sell them. Our family will eat them."

"Anything else? Then when others see it, they'll all pick it up?"

"No, there is no road there, and most people would not go in. I saw a rabbit today and chased after it. The rabbit didn't catch it. I looked up and saw the cherry tree."

Not long after, Zhang Jianguo came back from the outside, and the family was preparing to have lunch.

Seeing a big pot of cherries, I asked.

Zhang An repeated what he said just now, and said that his mother still wanted to sell it.

Zhang Jianguo didn't care about selling or not, and he was not a budget-conscious person, and he was more palatable.

Most of Zhang An is inherited from Zhang Jianguo's character.

If there is no housekeeper Wang Fang, I don't know what this house will be like.

After the meal, Wang Fang took two big bowls and filled them with cherries.

"Zhang An, take it to your second uncle and third uncle's family to share."

Hearing this, Zhang An went out with a bowl in one hand, covered with a towel.

In the village, this kind of thing has to be paid attention to, whether it is neighbors, or brothers and cousins.

If you have something at home, you have to take it out and share some. You can’t eat it yourself and show it to others.

Many people may think that it is just a little food, is it necessary?
But the fact is that no matter who you are or what your relationship is, there may be a gap because of this little thing, and you will keep it in your heart.

Everything is good in the countryside, but some people have bad hearts, think you are poor, and hate you for being rich!There are also nests and nests of immortals who love to chew their tongues...
