My village can't be like this

Chapter 91
Early the next morning, Zhang An was woken up by urinating.

At this time, the sky had just dawned, and it was probably only around five o'clock.

Zhang An, who had exhausted the pressure in his body, originally planned to go back to the house and continue to sleep, but when he walked to the gate, there was a small, weird sound.

It's not quite like a dog barking, and it's not very similar to a cat barking.

Zhang An followed the voice and walked all the way to his deer shed.

Only at this time did I realize that Rhubarb, who had been given a luxurious single room, had a flat stomach, and was replaced by two cubs the size of rabbits, sleeping soundly under Rhubarb's belly.

Rhubarb, this guy is dishonest, and secretly gave birth to the baby without notifying him.

It wasn't that Zhang An slept soundly last night, it was that he didn't hear a sound at all.

The little guy has big ears and a pointed mouth. The more he looks, the more he looks like a rabbit.

But soon Zhang An realized that Rhubarb gave birth to two cubs.

For muntjacs, the cubs are usually single babies, and it is basically rare to have two babies in one litter.

It seems that luck is still very good this time.

Zhang An just squatted down to take a closer look at the situation of the little deer, but Rhubarb and its two cubs, who were still sleeping just now, woke up.

Rhubarb should not be a mother for the first time, she looks very experienced, she has already cleaned up the fetal fluid on the little deer.

As soon as the two little deer woke up, they buried their heads in their mother's belly to drink milk.

Zhang An wanted to reach out to hug the two little ones, but he found that the two little ones were a little afraid of him.

Zhang An frowned, this is not acceptable, I am your future parents, how can you be afraid of me.

Now he took Rhubarb together and brought all three muntjacs into the space.

It may be because of the new birth, even if they changed places, the little muntjacs did not panic and still followed their mother.

After entering the space, after the baptism of the space, the two little deer seem to be a little smarter.

Standing by the edge of the fish pond, the two cubs drank a full amount of water.

At this time, they seem to have discovered that the water is actually better than their mother's milk.

I couldn't help but drank a few more sips, and didn't stop until my stomach was bulging.

At this time, Zhang An reached out to touch them again, and it was no longer afraid, but moved against Zhang An's palm.

After coming out with a family of three, they gave Rhubarb some fresh green grass.

Rhubarb has added two little ones to the family, which is a great contribution and deserves some praise.

Looking at the two cubs following Rhubarb, Zhang An felt a bit big-headed, and it was time to name them, but there were no fawns just born not long ago, so how many brain cells would be wasted now.

Recently, the number of animals in Zhang An's family has been on the rise. The goat and two big geese brought by Huang Erye, the newly hatched chickens and ducklings, and two big white rabbits that gave birth to a litter of cubs.

Not long ago, Cuihua gave birth to two cubs. Today, Rhubarb gave birth to two more cubs. Zhang An caught eight wild boars last time he hunted wild boars.

Now the pigsty is completely full, and there is no room at all.

Fortunately, Zhang An also built a large enclosure next to the new house at the entrance of the village. When the new house is built, they can all be moved there.

On the other side of the new yard, there were still several acres of vacant land. Both Li Hongbin and Chen Ze persuaded Zhang An to dig a small fish pond on the side of the new house, but Zhang An didn't want to dig it at first.

From Zhang An's point of view, there is no need to dig fish ponds near the big river.

But the two of them kept saying that Dahe didn't belong to Zhang An's family, so it would be more convenient to dig one by themselves. They said it several times, and every time they came, Zhang An couldn't take it anymore, so he listened to their advice and dug a small half acre. fish pond.

It was because Chen Ze had been tinkering with Zhang An to expand the number and types of fish he raised, and Li Hongbin was simply making fun of him.

Zhang An had eaten the fish he put into the river, although they were all raised in space and then released.

But the ones in Dahe taste different from those in our yard.

Finally, after several experiments by Zhang An, he finally discovered that these fish were all the same when they were first released. Throw in some grass from the space.

As for the fish in the big river, Zhang An didn't care at all. After a long time, the gap appeared.

Looking at the sky, Zhang An lay back and slept for a while.

Now he is no longer the person who likes to wake up to watch the sunrise last year. After watching the sunrise several times, he doesn't think of it so early.

It's rare to have such a leisurely day. I was busy and busy in my previous life, isn't it just for this kind of life.

After going back to sleep for two or three hours, I got up and started to wash.

"Xiao An, the four eyes of our family are now cubs, and there are two more, which is rare."

Zhang An was washing up by the faucet, and Wang Fang, who was next to her, saw her son wake up, so she said something to Zhang An.

"I know, I saw it when I got up to go to the bathroom in the morning. At first I thought it was two rabbits who came to our house, and I realized it when I saw Rhubarb's deflated belly. Mom, don't call me in the future. People with four eyes, how ugly, just call it Rhubarb."

Now Dahuang's family is a part of his own family, and he gave birth to a cub last night, so Zhang An said a lot of good things for it today.

"Why does four eyes sound ugly? Everyone calls it that. If you call it Rhubarb, those who don't know it will think it's a dog."

Wang Fang rolled her eyes at her son, a little disgusted with the names he gave to the animals in the family.

"Why is rhubarb bad? You see it is bigger than a dog. It has yellow skin and yellow hair. It is suitable to be called rhubarb. It fits its temperament."

Feeling that his mother doubted his naming skills, Zhang An immediately defended himself.

"There is no salt in the house. After washing your face, go to Zhang Xinmin's house and buy a pack."

Zhang An responded, and went to buy salt after washing his face.

In the past, before Zhang Xinmin’s family started selling salt, monosodium glutamate and soy sauce, everyone had to go to the town to buy them when they were going to the market, and each purchase cost several catties. At that time, what was sold in the town was not bagged salt, but loose salt that weighed catties. .

At that time, even if there was nothing to eat at home, we could only borrow some from neighbors to use it first, and then return it to others after buying it.

It's good now, Zhang Xinmin's canteen now sells more and more things, making it more and more convenient for everyone.

It was only when everyone's life improved that his family dared to buy so many goods. According to the previous situation, if a lot of goods were bought, it would take a long time to digest them in the small mountain village before they could be sold out. It would not be worthwhile at all.

"Hey, Uncle An..."

Zhang An, who was walking in front, found someone calling him from behind, and when he looked back, he found that it was Zhou Yang from the village.

"Oh, I told you not to call me like that, just call me by name."

There are quite a lot of people with the surname Zhang in Changqing Village, and Zhang An's seniority is relatively high, sometimes when someone older than himself comes up to him, he would call him uncle.

"Who told you that you are from the old life? If you are a senior, you can't do it if you don't call it out. If you don't call it out, you will be called back."

Not only did the two belong to the same village, but they went to school together since they were young. Zhang An went to the county to study high school in the third year of junior high school, while Zhou Yang didn't have enough grades and went to a vocational school.

"When did you come back? I heard from your mother that you went to work in the provincial capital."

The two walked side by side on the main road in the village, chatting while walking. Although they had not seen each other for a long time, there seemed to be no strangeness between them.

"I went, but didn't my mother's foot bones hurt? The family was about to harvest crops. My dad couldn't do it alone, and he had to take care of my two younger brothers and sisters, so I came back early to help. I just came back last night. home."

"Then it's not a coincidence that you came here. We only had June Sixth yesterday, so you can have it together if you come early." Zhang An made a joke when he heard Zhou Yang say that he only got home last night.

"No way, you also know that the last bus back from the county is five or six o'clock, and it's dark when you get back. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Fortunately, you have a car, and you helped take my mother to the hospital in time. Listen to the doctor Said he might be limping if he was late."

After Zhou Yang came back, his parents told him the story.

"They're all from my own family, why don't you thank me for making them look like outsiders. We used to fight together at school. Now you have the nerve to tell me about it."

"By the way, where are you going?" The two chatted, and Zhang An almost forgot to buy salt.

"I went to the store to buy a light bulb and came back to change it, and the light bulb in the room burned out."

When Zhou Yang came back last night, he found that the light bulb in the room was burnt out, but he didn't come to buy it at night, so he planned to buy it early this morning and change it.

The current light bulbs are still incandescent lamps, and the lights are a little yellowish at night.

"Let's go together, I'm going to buy a bag of salt, there is no salt at home."

It was a coincidence that both of them went to Zhang Xinmin's canteen.

It's been a long time since they both asked each other about each other's affairs, and after chatting, they arrived at the door of the store.

After Zhang An bought the salt, Zhou Yang insisted on paying him.

It was fruitless to say more, but the price of a bag of salt was one yuan. After Zhang An pushed it back, Ren Zhouyang paid the price.

"Uncle An, come to my house for dinner tonight."

Before leaving, Zhou Yang called Zhang An.

"Ah, do you have anything to say?"

Zhang An had already left with the salt, and when he heard Zhou Yang calling him to eat at his house at night, he stood up and asked.

"When did you become so polite? When I was young, I often went to your house to eat, and you often went to mine to eat. Why, I became shy when I grew up."

Zhou Yang joked that when Zhang An was in elementary school, Zhang An didn't meet his adults at home when he came back, so he had lunch at Zhou Yang's house.

The same is true for Zhou Yang. Sometimes the adults in the family are not at home and no lunch is prepared, so he will deal with it at Zhang An's house.

Why not in other people's homes? At that time, Zhang An had many peers in the village. Half of the students in one class were from the village, and the others were children from nearby villages.

The main reason is that the two have known each other since they were young, and their families are close and they are relatives. After going to school, they always make appointments together.

After a long time, this feeling came out.

"I'm just asking casually. I'll go there at night."

Zhang An smiled, it was really like this when he was young.

"Don't think so much, it's nothing to worry about, I learned how to cook at school, I'll let you try the skill I've learned for several years if I don't come back, come early at night, don't let me call you. "

"Okay, got it."

After speaking, the two went back to their respective homes.

Back in the yard, at this time Li Hongbin at home had already got up and was washing his face in the yard.

"Well, sleep well."

Zhang An looked at Li Hongbin who looked haggard, and smiled.

Li Hongbin really drank too much yesterday, he has been drunk since last night, and he didn't wake up until now.

I saw him patted his head, "Stop talking, I'm still a little dizzy right now, it's very uncomfortable."

"Okay, don't look at how much you drank last night. Fortunately, I poured you a bowl of hangover soup last night, otherwise you will suffer even more today."

Generally, when people with a hangover wake up, they will not only feel dizzy and uncomfortable, but some people will even experience nausea, headache, palpitation and nausea.

Li Hongbin's dizziness alone is already the most relaxing.

"Ah, you gave me hangover soup last night? Why didn't I respond?"

"You have a fart reaction. If you don't drink if you feed you, I will just gulp it down."

Zhang An rolled his eyes. Last night when Li Hongbin was poured hangover soup, the man was still moving around. A lot of the hangover soup spilled on Zhang An's clothes.

While the two were talking, a group of dolls from the village had already arrived at Zhang An's house.

This group of children is like going to school now, making an appointment to report every morning.

But the adults in the family can also rest assured that there will be no accidents when playing here at Zhang An's house, and it is easy to find them when looking for them. If they are locked at home, they will have to make trouble with you.

"Uncle An, when did you catch two more rabbits? Their feet are so long."

Little Tangyuan was playing with two little deer in the yard. These two little deer were still afraid of people in the morning, but after being brought into the space to get acquainted with Zhang An, they are not afraid of people at all now. The doll is playing around.

Now that Xiaotangyuan is on holiday, she often runs to Zhang An's yard, except when she is eating.

Because their family still lives in the same room with his grandparents, and because Xiao Tangyuan’s grandparents often treated Xiao Tangyuan badly, every time Xiao Tangyuan was not at home during meals, they would scold him a few times, and then they would not find him. she.

For the sake of his daughter, Dagui, the father of Xiaotangyuan, proposed to separate the family and live on his own.

I take my daughter to live alone, but even if the family is separated, they still live in the same house, but they are divided into two wing rooms, living on their own.

Even though the family has been separated, the two elders of the Tang family still don't like this granddaughter.

There is no love without reason in the world, and there is no hate without reason. Everything has a reason.

Although the two elders have some patriarchal ideas, Xiao Tangyuan is always their granddaughter.

It's more that the two elders especially hate the woman who left her son and ran away with others, and they hate the house and the black.

Zhang An, the mother of Xiaotangyuan, has seen it before, and it is already considered a good-looking one in the countryside.

Usually, the family treats her very well, and they don't ask her to do as much farm work as she can, and she can do as much as she can.

This is already the best treatment for a daughter-in-law in a rural family now. It is impossible to say that a daughter-in-law does not work at all after marrying, anyway, Zhang An has never seen it.

But after Xiaotangyuan was born, the two elders have some traditional patriarchal ideas, so they may not pay as much attention to their daughter-in-law as before.

But unexpectedly, when Xiaotangyuan was two years old, her daughter-in-law ran away with someone, and she followed a small boss who had not been here for a long time.

From then on, Xiaotangyuan's grandmother's family could not hold their heads up in the village, and the two families were like enemies when they met.

Because of her good looks, she had to ask for an extra 200 yuan for the bride price at that time.

As a result, the two elders became more and more displeased with the little glutinous rice balls.

So, a poor man should not marry a beautiful lady. The lesson of Wu Dalang Chi Guoguo has been passed down for so many years.

Watching the little glutinous rice balls teasing the two little muntjacs.

"It's not a little rabbit, it's a child of rhubarb. The rhubarb you often feed gave birth last night."

Zhang An patiently explained to the dolls.

Li Hongbin heard Zhang An say that Rhubarb had given birth, so he came over to have a look.

He hadn't noticed it when he woke up in the morning.

"Zhang An, is the rhubarb the wild deer you brought back?"

Li Hongbin had heard that Zhang An caught a muntjac on the mountain before, but he never looked carefully.

He had eaten this food when he was young, and people in the town occasionally sold it.

"Yes, that's the one, but it's rare for two cubs to be born at once."

At this moment, Zhang An recruited two little muntjacs and squatted on the ground to play with them.

"This thing is delicious, but it's a little hard to grasp. I'm too timid. Once I find it, I will run away."

"Don't think about them, I still want to raise them."

Zhang An looked at Li Hongbin's eyes glowing, and looked at Dahuang's family of three with malicious intentions, rolled his eyes and said to Li Hongbin.

This guy has now turned into an old man, wanting to eat everything he sees.

As if Zhang An had seen through what he was thinking, Li Hongbin's expression was a little unnatural.

"Just talking, it's rare to see a family that can support this kind of thing, why don't you see them escape."

Now it seems that I haven't heard of artificial breeding of yellow deer, unless it is locked up in a zoo.

However, later generations of artificial breeding did not dare to open up and put them in the deer shed like Zhang An's family did. They were all kept in high walls for fear that they would run away.

"Maybe Dahuang is a relative of Dahua's family. Seeing how happy Dahua's family is, he doesn't want to run away. He has to worry about being chased by blue wolves and leopards when he runs into the mountains. He lives in our house and has food and drink. There are Xiaohu and others as security guards at night, how comfortable it is, will you leave if it's you?"

Zhang An made a fool of himself, but unexpectedly lied Li Hongbin.

"That's right. It's me. I definitely won't leave. You don't kill them to eat meat. How comfortable you are living here. But why are they related to sika deer?"

Li Hongbin looked at the rhubarb and the big flower, and the reminder was several times worse.

"They are all deer animals, so they are not relatives. Although they are not very close, they may have evolved at different times and in different directions, but distant relatives are also relatives, right?"

Rhubarb did not protect the cubs like Cuihua did. He lay down in the shed to rest by himself, watching the little deer running around in the yard, and when he was tired from running, he returned to lie down next to Rhubarb to drink milk.

The two cubs are not as afraid of people as the other wild muntjacs. On the contrary, they saw the group of dolls in the village and had a good time playing with them.

"The two of them are the children of Rhubarb, but Rhubarb is so big, why are they so small?"

Big question marks flashed in Xiaotangyuan's small eyes.

The two little deer were indeed too small, just as big as the soles of Zhang An's feet.

"They are so small when they are born, and then they will grow up very quickly, just like chickens, they will be small when they first hatch, and then slowly grow into a big chicken."

Soon, Wang Fang in the room prepared lunch, and there was a scent in the room.

"Little glutinous rice balls, eat at my house today."

Seeing that his mother had already served the dishes, Zhang An called out to the little guy.

"Uncle An, my father is at home today, I'll go home and eat."

It turned out that when Xiaotangyuan's father was not at home, her grandparents didn't call her back for dinner because of the separation.

Zhang An often left her to eat at home. The child was so pitiful that he could help a little.

And when Guangguang's family has something to do, her father Tang Dagui doesn't need to be shouted every time, and is very enthusiastic to come over to help.

So no matter what the reason was, Zhang An was still very kind to Xiaotangyuan.

Except for the first time the little guy was a little shy, but after knowing that Zhang An was kind to her, she was also very close to Zhang An.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, and everyone wants to eat something cold and vegetarian. Zhang An and Li Hongbin both drank a lot of wine last night, and Wang Fang didn't cook too oily or meaty dishes today.

Zhang An watched as his mother made a bowl of cucumbers today, and also made a bowl of tomatoes mixed with sugar.

This tomato was bought by Zhang An in the town, because the tomato seeds left by the family in previous years were very small, basically only the size of a thumb.

Usually, it is delicious when it is smashed and cooked, but it is not good for cold salad, because it is too small, and it is better to slice it and eat it with it.

When Zhang An was young, he often picked small tomatoes from other people's fields, rubbed them casually, and put them in his mouth to eat.

It seems that many people in later generations call this small tomato a cherry tomato, and fruit shops still sell it as a fruit.

A plate of scrambled duck eggs with red peppers is not too greasy to eat. Zhang An’s mother has always made scrambled eggs with green peppers by chopping up the peppers, adding some red chili peppers to fry until cooked, and then mashing the fried duck eggs. Stir fry together.

Zhang An felt that eating like this was delicious and easy to eat, and it was much more delicious than the scrambled eggs with green peppers sold outside.

Because of this way of eating, the chopped peppers are mixed with rice and eaten, unlike the scrambled eggs with green peppers that Zhang An ate outside in later generations, the peppers are big, and there are not many eggs. There was a large bowl of green peppers that I couldn't eat.

Just at this time, Zhang Jianguo, who was called by the village to hold a meeting of villagers' representatives, also came back, and the village chief's uncle came with him.

"Uncle is here, come and have dinner together."
