Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 290

In the final analysis, it was the students he had taught. The students did not mix well, and his face as a teacher was not radiant.Along the way, Teacher Chai naturally asked Liu Junhao in detail.After hearing his experience, the old man was amazed. He even said that you have crooked talents.

Crooked talent... This doesn't sound like a compliment.I work to get rich, okay? If I were someone else, I would naturally open my mouth to refute.It's just that his teacher said this, Liu Junhao really can't say anything.Teacher Chai didn't treat him and Pang Xu very well when he was in school, but now that he thinks about it, it's more about the teaching of hating iron but not steel, so Liu Junhao still respects this old man.

Pang Xu's family has many relatives, including his father's four brothers, and his own relatives and friends. In the end, ten tables of banquets were enough to sit.

Although the banquet was sumptuous, the food was average.For a greedy person like Liu Junhao, he can only give him a passing grade.

However, when the whole chicken was brought out, everyone was interested. Everyone said that the chicken was big, and after eating it, they kept praising it, and even praised the chef for his authentic cooking.Liu Junhao was a little proud when he heard this, "It is produced in the Liu Family Courtyard, it must be a high-quality product." It seems that his native chicken is popular everywhere.

The following whole fish was even more admirable, and they all asked which reservoir the fish was caught from. It is absolutely impossible to eat such a good fish in the town.

According to the practice of rural banquets, there must be an accompanying guest at each table, and the first condition for accompanying guests is to be able to drink.The guest at this table is Pang Sheng, a child of Pang Xu's second uncle's family, only one year younger than Liu Junhao.This person used to hang around behind him and Pang Xu when he was in school, so he was also very familiar with Liu Junhao.Pang Sheng was clear about what was going on here, and said with a smile: "The king of fish farming is in front of you. It's my brother Xiaohao, from Liujiagou. The eels he raises are well-known in the city, and many people in the city specialize in driving. I’m here to buy it. Also, my brother drove over to pull the local chicken yesterday afternoon.”

Hearing what he said, Liu Junhao immediately became the focus of the banquet. One or two asked about the conditions for raising rice field eels, and some people said that they would go to Liujiagou to learn Buddhist scriptures in a few days.

After the three big dishes were served, another bowl of water was served.

"Come on... let's start." Pang Sheng greeted everyone with a spoon.

Because there are soup bowls among the three big dishes, everyone has a pair of chopsticks, a small porcelain plate and a spoon in front of them.The porcelain plate and spoon are for soup.The next dish should be served with dessert, so it is necessary to wash the oil stains on the spoon. This bowl of clear water is served for people to wash the spoon.

A few people put their spoons in and stirred it, when someone over there scooped up a spoonful of clear water and put it into their mouths, and then shouted with doubts: "What kind of soup is this, why is it tasteless when you drink it?"

"This..." A table of people stood there dumbfounded.

Although Pang Sheng had accompanied several banquets, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and he didn't know how to explain it to the visitors: that wasn't soup, it was water for people to wash the tableware.If you point it out immediately, the guest will definitely feel embarrassed, and then there will be embarrassment.

"Why don't you drink?" Seeing a table of people looking at him with strange expressions, that person felt even more strange, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"Come... let's drink it all" Liu Junhao saw that the kid couldn't stand the situation, so he had to quietly push Pang Sheng with his arm, and then stretched out his hand to scoop up a spoonful of clear water and put it in his mouth.

"Well... Hurry up, everyone while it's hot." Pang Sheng also reacted, and put the spoon into the big bowl.

At this time, the rest of the people understood it, and picked up their spoons one after another.

All of a sudden, spoons rolled over at the banquet, and the atmosphere was extremely "hot".

Within 2 minutes, a large bowl of water was shared by everyone.

After the banquet, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

The two of them were thinking about Zhang Qian's parents, so they didn't stay any longer, and just said hello to Pang Xu and prepared to take the car back.

At noon, this guy was so flushed that he stood up unsteadily to see them off.Liu Junhao hurriedly asked him to stop, they were all acquaintances, so there was no need for these empty etiquettes.

Sitting in the car, as soon as Liu Junhao told everyone about drinking water at the wine table, Zhang Qian lay in his arms and laughed non-stop, and finally nodded and shouted: "No wonder that high school teacher said that you are doing something serious!" It's so sloppy, and everything about the crooked ways is clear, and it's really a belly full of crooked things."

"Your husband, I'm quick-witted, okay?" He was quite proud of his actions, and that kid Pang Sheng kept thanking himself afterwards.

"How old is that man?" Zhang Qian stopped laughing and asked.

"You're in your 30s, what's the matter?"

"Then you must have experienced a lot of scenes, how come it's like you haven't been through the banquet?" Zhang Qian asked suspiciously.

"Didn't that kid Pang Xu say, 'When you go out for three miles, the customs are very different', some places don't have desserts at all, it's normal if you don't know." Liu Junhao understands this.Because the customs are different, there are many jokes.

Arriving in the town by car, the two didn't get to the terminal, and got off at Lao Guo's beef stall.

As soon as they got down, the black panther rushed over excitedly, wagging its tail at them.

"I said why this guy squats here all day and doesn't go home. His feeling is that he recognized your electric car." Old Guo cried with a little emotion.

"Hehe, I'm familiar with this." Liu Junhao smiled and patted Black Panther's head.This guy now regards Liujiagou as his second home, and he always lives there every now and then.Every time Zhao Guangming couldn't find the Black Panther, he would immediately call Liujiagou.

The same is true for Xiaopi, as long as he sees Liu Junhao pushing his electric car into the street, that guy will follow up.Today it wanted to follow him again, but was scolded by Zhang Qian to go back.

After talking to Lao Guo for a while, the two drove home by bicycle.

"We're finally home, and the environment here is good." Zhang Qian sat behind the electric car, dragging her husband's clothes back with her hands and sighing.Only by comparison can she distinguish. After seeing the environment near Pang Xu's house, she really felt the benefits of Liujiagou.Beautiful mountains and rivers, comfortable life, harmonious coexistence between man and nature.No wonder Xu Xiaoli often sighed, saying that it would be better if Pang Xu's family had half of Liujiagou, and she also planned to take root in the countryside for the rest of her life.

After driving for a few miles, suddenly there was a "scratching" bird call overhead.

"Our Qingzhuang is greeting us." Zhang Qian shouted excitedly pointing at the big bird in the air.

"No way, you can see clearly at such a height?" Liu Junhao was a little suspicious of her eyes.Since the family raised Qingzhuang, whenever my wife sees this bird in the wild, she thinks it is hers.

"Of course, I can see clearly, if you don't believe me, just whistle and have a look."

"I'll try..." Liu Junhao naturally didn't believe her words, sucked in his mouth, curled his tongue slightly, and a sharp whistle came out of his mouth.Mr. Chai was right when he said that he had a crooked talent earlier.Liu Junhao's whistle is quite excellent, he blows with his mouth alone, bends his index finger and inserts it into the mouth, crosses two middle fingers, closes his hands into a urn, etc. He is good at these methods.

When it was popular to whistle to tease girls back then, many people worshiped him as a teacher.Of course, because of the whistle, he was often reprimanded by the teacher.

"Guasha" Qingzhuang in the sky also yelled to join forces, and then they fluttered their wings and landed.

It's really... I didn't expect these guys to run more and more cross-country.

At the entrance of the village, I saw Xiao Pi guarding him from afar.Before taking two steps, Wukong jumped down from the tree next to him and blocked the middle of the road.

As soon as Liu Junhao stopped the electric car, the guy immediately jumped into the basket in front of the car with a squeak.

"The animals in our house are smart, and they know how to come out to greet their masters from such a distance." Zhang Qian called out, stroking Wukong's head.

"You're just pretending to be smart. Xiaopi may have come here specially. Wukong and that Qunqingzhuang are definitely reckless." Liu Junhao said in a questioning tone.The macular skin is indeed a bit evil. The last time I came back from the city, I just got out of the car, and that guy was already waiting at the door of the car.As for Qingzhuang and Monkey, it seems that they don't have this special function.

Sure enough, the mystery was quickly revealed, and a few little guys stood not far away waving at them and shouting: "Uncle, Aunt (Uncle Liu, Aunt Zhang), you are back!"

"Why are you running here to play in the water? Come back quickly!" Seeing the four of them playing tiles by the pond, Zhang Qian hurriedly called them to her side.

"You just called to say that you are coming to town, grandma asked us to come over and see if you have come back."

"Uncle Liu, your little swallow has hatched." At this time, Xiao Haoyu hurriedly reported the good news.

"Really?" Zhang Qian was very excited when she heard that Xiaoyan had hatched.In other words, she didn't worry much about this litter.Since the last time the sparrow seized the nest, Zhang Qian had to tell her husband every time before going to school, telling him to pay more attention when he was free, so that the sparrow would not throw the swallow eggs out again.

"Well," Xiao Tongtong nodded, and then complained: "Wukong wanted to steal Little Swallow, but we drove him away..."

"Zhizhi..." The monkey didn't know if he understood or not, but bared his teeth and yelled at the little girl.

Hearing voices outside, people in the courtyard rushed out one after another.

Khan... This is really a big team.Zhang Qian's parents, brother and sister-in-law, and those old ladies who came to travel.Counting it down, there are nearly twenty people in the yard.

Although both of them were a little tired, they still greeted each other with smiles on their faces.At any rate, those old ladies didn't stay in the yard for long, and after a while they got up to go to Dayan Pond to watch fishing.This year's fishing competition is even more lively than last year, with more than double the number of people, and the entire bank of the weir pond is almost completely surrounded.

The family was left in the yard, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed. After Zhang Qian drank a cup of herbal tea, she hurriedly took the camera to take pictures of Xiaoyan who had just emerged from the nest.She had already planned to take pictures of the little swallow's growth process, and when she had time, she would develop the pictures for the students in the class to see.

The ladder was held to the wall, and the monkey was more anxious than anyone else, so he sprinted to the top.But as soon as it went up, the old swallow who guarded the nest screamed and didn't show any face.

"Wukong come down" as the master yelled, it had no choice but to jump down dejectedly.This guy has a conflict with the swallow, and people don't like it at all.

After chasing the monkey off, Zhang Qian climbed up the ladder cautiously.The swallow didn't chase it away this time, but just squatted on the edge of the nest and fluttered its wings, as if showing off its child to her.

"Is Xiaoyan not afraid of people?" Mama Zhang asked with interest.

"Well, Xiaoqian often catches grasshoppers and caterpillars to feed them after school, and they are all cooked," Liu Junhao replied in a low voice.In other words, this swallow is more affectionate to his wife than to himself.

"It's really rare that everything in your yard can be matured. Do you have any tricks?" Brother Zhang Qian also sighed.To say that he has completely convinced this brother-in-law now, such a small yard can manage such a big business.

Seeing the monkeys, Qingzhuang, otters, etc. playing freely in the courtyard is always a bit enviable.

"It's nothing, as long as you keep it, you will be familiar with it." Liu Junhao laughed, and he knew in his heart that most of the reasons why those guys became familiar in the yard so quickly were due to the spring water.Of course, part of it is personal charm. He found that he and his wife have a special relationship with animals.

* * *
After breakfast the next day, several little guys clamored to go to the village to participate in the fishing competition, and Zhang Qian's brother and sister-in-law also showed that they wanted to go.

"Take Baoyu and Daiyu with you when you go. They are good at catching fish. With their help, it's easy to become a fishing champion." Liu Junhao suggested with a smile.

"Baoyu and Daiyu?" Several people were stunned for a moment, not knowing who he was talking about.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, it's those two otters." Zhang Qian revealed the answer dumbfounded.When the otter had just been caught, the two had to discuss a name.Liu Junhao named the big otter Jia Baoyu and the small one Lin Daiyu according to the convention that our family’s animal names come from the four great classics.

Zhang Qian didn't agree with anything, and said that the two names were inappropriate.But let her think, and there is no suitable one, and finally "Jia Baoyu" and "Lin Daiyu" became the temporary names of otters.

"That's the name, your tabby cat might as well be named Jiyu Song Gongming." After hearing the two names, Zhang's father had a rare moment of fun.

"I'll drive the otter out." As soon as Xiao Jianhui heard that otters are good at catching fish, he immediately ran to the pool to beat them.

"Don't move around, let your uncle do it." Zhang Qian stepped forward and pulled him back.This otter is different from other animals, it is very ferocious, besides being familiar with Liu Junhao, it doesn't bite when you come near it.These two guys would scream threats whenever anyone else got close to the cave.

"Baoyu, Daiyu, come out quickly!" Liu Junhao called to the entrance of the cave a few times, and the two guys stuck their heads out of the water.

In fact, otters can walk on the shore, but their movements are too clumsy. In order to save time, Liu Junhao stretched out his hand and lifted the two naked guys into the ditch outside the door.

Several people walked on the shore, and the otter followed closely in the water.The ditch leads all the way to the weir pond, so there is no need for him to make a second move.
