Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 114 The Transformation Movement

It is more troublesome to cut reeds in this season. A large area is full of old and new.Those newly grown reeds are already as tall as a person, but they are crisp and tender, and even if they are harvested, they cannot be used as fences.So Professor Zhao could only pick and cut old reeds one by one, which was very troublesome.

After busying for half an hour, the two of them made a small bundle. Liu Junhao suddenly lost his temper, threw the sickle away and said, "It's too slow for us to cut like this. Let's just cut the old and new together, and pick the old reeds after cutting."

"It's not good, it's a pity that the reeds are destroyed." Professor Zhao was a little hesitant, he was thinking about protecting the environment.

"It's okay, the reeds grow fast, and in less than ten days, they will grow a bunch of new shoots." Liu Junhao is more familiar with the habits of reeds than he is.

After hearing what he said, Professor Zhao nodded in agreement.

In this way, the speed of the two of them was significantly accelerated, and they piled up a half-sized haystack.

In the reeds in May, there are countless birds.Those water crocks, green farms, and reeds were startled by them from time to time, and they flew up in groups, and after circling in the sky for a while, they plunged into the depths of the dense reeds like arrows.

Liu Junhao was busy with his head when he suddenly heard Professor Zhao's call, saying that he had found a big bird's nest in the reeds.

"This is Qingzhuang Nest," Liu Junhao said with certainty after only two glances.

Qingzhuang has white feathers and is relatively large. He usually likes to make nests in trees or reeds.The nest made by this thing is very rough. When making a nest on a tree, just use some dry branches and dead grass to build a tent. Even a little strong wind may blow the eggs to the ground.

However, the nests they build in the reeds are more elaborate, and generally a few reeds are entangled together as pillars.Then withered grass was bundled in the middle of the reed two meters above the ground, and reed leaves were spread inside, which looked like a castle in the air.

Professor Zhao just lowered his head to cut the reeds, and didn't notice the abnormal shape above his head at all. Those reeds had been completely cut off by him, and even a bird egg was broken.Seeing that the bird's nest was about to fall, he quickly tied the broken reed with a rope a few times, and hung the bird's nest in the air again.

"It's useless, don't bother, those Qingzhuang will definitely not come back if they are frightened. Take these eggs back and let the teals hatch, maybe you can hatch birds." Liu Junhao took a blue-green one Look at the eggs.

The bird's egg was just laid, and it was about the same size as an egg, and each weighed one or two pounds.

"It's a pity, I hope I can hatch a bird." After hearing this, Professor Zhao stopped doing useless work.

Liu Junhao didn't have so many emotions. This season is the breeding season of birds. When he was young, he often went to the reeds to collect birds with his friends.

Every day after school, those bratty kids would plunge into the reeds in groups of three or two.One by one, they walked barefoot in the mud with one deep foot and one shallow foot. They kept pushing aside the reeds with their hands, and searched around with wide-eyed eyes.Once they found a bird's nest, they ignored the reed leaves and cut people, directly grabbed the branches and stretched their hands towards the bird's nest.

Bird eggs are usually boiled and eaten. If you encounter a baby bird, take it back and feed it.When it can fly, tie a thread to the bird's paw and lead it away from afar.

This bird's nest was just a small episode. The two rested for a while, and the speed of harvesting picked up again.

After two hours of busy work, a large stack of reeds was piled up on the river beach.

All the withered and yellow reeds were picked out and loaded on the carts. These new young reeds had no other purpose at all and could only be dried in the sun and used as firewood.

Liu Junhao didn't take them home either, he just spread them on the open space, and planned to wait for a few days to dry before taking them home.

Although they loaded a big cart full, the dried reeds were as light as cotton, and it didn't take much trouble for two people to pull them up.

It was already noon when we got home, and Mr. Wang made lunch early, and when he saw them, he brought a basin of water for them to wash their hands and eat.

After dinner, he was busy. In order to speed up the progress, Liu Junhao specially borrowed a guillotine for cutting grass from the village. "Crack, click" after half an hour of busy work, he cut all the reeds into short sticks more than one meter long.

There are still two bundles of fine iron wire that Professor Zhao bought when he built the house last time, and now he just uses it to bind the fence.

There is no technical content in piercing the fence, as long as you take a sickle and sharpen the reeds and insert them directly into the ground.

At the beginning, I didn’t think so, but now that I’m done with work, when I sat in the yard again, Liu Junhao looked at the neatly brushed fence, and felt a bit poetic: Butterflies enter the cauliflower, and there are no visitors to Tian’s house after a long day .The rooster flew over the fence and the dog barked the sinus, knowing that a merchant came to buy tea.

"Well, it's not easy for animals to get in now." Professor Zhao also sat comfortably on the chair and said, "It's best to plant a circle of morning glories on the side like the fence in your yard, so that It looks prettier."

When Zhang Qian came back from school in the afternoon, she immediately took a fancy to the fence, picked up her mobile phone and kept taking pictures.When he went back to the house to play with the computer, he still muttered to ask Liu Junhao to change his yard into this look.

Liu Junhao had this in mind, but he was just thinking about it. There are eels in this yard, so it's definitely not enough to just surround it with a fence.

At night, fighting against the bites of the teal ducks, he secretly stuffed the eggs into the nest.The eggs of these two kinds of birds are similar in color and should be able to be mixed.

Although he is usually lazy, he is actually quite shrewd in his calculations.

During this period of time, those teal ducks started to hatch eggs by coincidence. In another month or so, there will be seventy or eighty teal ducks in my yard.

Just two days into May, the weather is obviously starting to get hot and dry.Liu Junhao is young and strong, with fierce firepower, so he changed into short sleeves early, which is unique in the village.

Usually, I don't think so, when he wears short sleeves, his white arms are exposed, and people who come to his yard say that this kid doesn't look like a rural person.

Liu Junhao naturally knew that this was due to the spring water. His body was getting healthier and healthier now. He was drenched in the rain for a long time when he was fishing for cattle for Liu Wuye that day, but nothing happened.

It's just that when the weather is hot, the toilet in the corner smells bad.Although it has to be washed with water twice a day, the smell can't be washed away.

With money, it is natural to improve the quality of life, so Liu Junhao thought about cleaning up the toilet again.

Unexpectedly, Professor Zhao became interested after hearing about it, saying that he also wanted to completely remodel his toilet.In the past few months, he is quite satisfied with his living conditions, but this toilet is very uncomfortable.

This kind of work is not a big deal. He and Professor Zhao are both bored every day, just looking for something to do, so they haven't asked the villagers for help for the time being.

They did what they said, and Liu Junhao re-leveled a piece of land next to the toilet the next day.Because Professor Zhao suggested that it is best to separate a bathroom inside, so the toilet was built relatively large.

Now that the road has been repaired, the transportation of construction materials is much more convenient.Just a phone call, and the sand and cement were shipped to the door early.

In this way, Professor Zhao mixed the cement, Liu Junhao built the wall, and it took only one week to build the toilets of the two families.On the day of Jieding, he specially greeted the people in the village early, and called five or six people to help lift the floor.

There are only two rooms, and the amount of work is very small. It only took a few hours to lay the floor, and he and Professor Zhao still completed the rest of the work.

Originally, Zhang Qian suggested laying a layer of tiles on the floor of the toilet, saying that it would give people a fresh and tidy feeling.

However, the suggestion was rejected by Liu Junhao. The countryside is not as good as the city, and dust is easy to get on the shoes.If the floor is paved with tiles, it is estimated that the floor will have to be mopped once every two times to the toilet. It is better to wipe it with cement.

This toilet is not a rare thing in Liu Junhao's eyes. He did not expect that after it was built, it attracted many villagers to visit.They all say that it looks much cleaner this way, and I have to renovate my toilet when I go back.

Soon there was a vigorous toilet renovation movement in the village, and all of them were copied from Liu Junhao's house. Liu Guangju also took advantage of this momentum to renovate several public toilets at the head of the village and on the river beach.

It seems that after solving the problem of food and clothing, people in the village began to pursue a more comfortable living environment.Of course, the renovated toilet has been unanimously praised by the tourists.

On Sundays, the hairy boy would definitely come to play computer games, but he came here today to show off the silkworms he raised.

"Uncle Xiaohao, look, everything except this one is a colorful cocoon!" The brat proudly held a big cardboard box for Liu Junhao to watch.

There are several silkworm hills tied with branches next to the cardboard box, and three orange silkworm cocoons have formed on them, and there is another one that has just formed a cocoon not long ago, and you can clearly see the thickened silkworm inside.

"Really, the silkworm has cocooned, and I'll take a look too?" Zhang Qian, who was playing computer in the back room, ran out immediately when she heard about it.

Maozi didn't evade this time, his sericulture diary was praised by Teacher Zhang almost every week.

"Wow, this silkworm cocoon looks very beautiful... Hey, do you see it spinning silk?" Zhang Qian pointed to the big silkworm on the silkworm mountain and exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Junhao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, what else can silkworms do if they don't spin silk.But after thinking about it, I understand that it is indeed a bit curious to see this kind of thing for the first time.

After Zhang Qian finished speaking, she hurried back to the house to take a picture with her mobile phone, saying that she would show Su Nana later.

"That... Liu Changlin, can you give me a few cocoons later?" The more she looked at her, the more beautiful she felt, and finally she said shyly.

The hairy boy was dumbfounded now, and secretly resented that he shouldn't show it off.

"You are ashamed to ask for the students' things. We will have some in the spring next year." Seeing the reluctance on the bear's face, Liu Junhao hurriedly said.

"Well, Mr. Zhang, let me get you a piece of silkworm paper next year." Mao Zi also nodded.
