Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 40 Between Neighbors
Fortunately, I stayed at the door for a while, otherwise the group of hens might have met their opponents this time.Seeing it approaching the chicken coop again, Liu Junhao quickly turned on the lantern in his hand and shone it on the raccoon.

It first took a step back in fright, then stopped, and blinked at Liu Junhao. It shook its fiery red tail strangely a few times, quite arrogantly, obviously knowing that Xiaopi would not come back for a while, but in front of him This person will definitely not be able to catch up with him.

It was the first time he had seen such a bold animal, so he grabbed the shovel leaning against the front of the house and swung it up.The fox's reaction was quick, and he had already slipped out of the waterway in a blink of an eye, neighing lowly outside the courtyard wall, and kept provoking, as if trying to lure him to catch up.

The outside of the yard was full of weeds, and the grass raccoon couldn't find it if he got in, and it was useless to go out by himself, so Liu Junhao made up his mind to ignore the provocation of the beast, and turned back to the house on his own.But before he took two steps, the fox ran in again and continued to bark at him. When Liu Junhao stepped forward, it turned and ran away.

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you really think I'm a sick cat. Liu Junhao gritted his teeth and went back to the house, took out the chain and ring gun he made a few days ago, loaded it with gunpowder, and stood in the yard waiting.

As soon as the fox showed its head, he raised his hand and shot, and the flames shot out in the darkness. The iron sand ejected from the muzzle of the gun made the fox bounce around at the base of the wall, and then quickly escaped into the eye of the water channel.

The distance he shot was a little far away, so the power of the iron sand was greatly reduced, and the fox could not be hurt at all, but even so, the two foxes were so scared that they never dared to come again. It turned out that the beast knew how to be afraid.

The days are passing slowly, and the hottest season will be over in a blink of an eye. After a while, it will be the autumn harvest, which is also the busiest season of the year.

The field is full of green, especially the corn, which has grown to the height of a person, and the big corn cobs that have grown have beards, which look very gratifying.

Liu Junhao naturally became greedy when he saw this thing. The corn on the cob is the best at this time. Whether it is boiled or roasted, it is crispy, and the more you chew, the more delicious it is.

Now he regrets that he didn't grow some corn at the beginning, otherwise he could cook corn cobs now.

One grain of millet is planted in the spring, and ten thousand seeds are harvested in the autumn. Liu Junhao has not planted anything in the field this year, and now he has nowhere to break off the corn cobs if he wants to eat.

It seems that it is not feasible to live on this stone lock alone. Next year, we still need to plant some land, so that we can grow some of what we want to eat, and it will be convenient to eat at that time.And he also has the advantage of spring water, I believe the crops he grows must be much better than other people's.

Then again, I didn't make full use of the spring water in the stone lock, and I didn't do much work since the day I got it. I just used it to raise fish and water vegetables, and I didn't do anything else.Seeing the people in the village busying themselves in the fields, he felt that he was really a lazy man in contrast. In the past, lazy people like him couldn't find a wife in the countryside.

However, Liu Junhao also feels that his current state is very good, there is nothing to worry about, and he is living a leisurely life, like a fairy.

When he looked up and saw the jujubes on the tree, his thoughts became active again, thinking that it would be good to plant some fruit trees in the open space in the front yard next year. Just eat it, and don't expect to sell it for money.Also plant some flowers and plants in the yard, so that the yard looks more vibrant.

But after thinking about it for a long time, it was his long-term plan. At present, he still needs to solve the problem of hunger. After thinking about it, he caught two catties of rice field eels and sent them to Er Mazi's house, saying that he would exchange rice field eels for corn cobs.

As a result, Er Mazi said that he would not accept anything, and pushed Liu Junhao out of the door.

"Corn grows in the field and you can break it off and eat as much as you want, but you can take this rice field eel home. If my restaurant needs it, I will naturally buy it in your yard. If you bring rice field eel again, I won't even let you in." " These are Er Mazi's original words. He has always remembered Liu Junhao's kindness in his heart. He didn't thank him enough for buying wild boar cubs last time. If it wasn't for his help, I'm afraid the thousands of dollars he brought would have been long gone. Let those liars get away with it.

What's more, the rice field eels in the farmhouse have always been caught in other people's yards. When people in the village come to buy rice field eels, no matter how much they sell, Liu Junhao always pays ten yuan a catty.

Although people don't say anything about this matter in person, they say he is sincere when chatting privately, and they all remember it in their hearts.

Now Liu Junhao wants to eat a few corn cobs and pockmarks, of course he is willing, not to mention that this thing is not a rare thing, it is not worth money at all, a catty of corn kernels is only five or six cents.If he really accepts these eels and doesn't let the people in the village poke his back, how can he hang around in the village in the future?

After sending Liu Junhao away, Er Mazi specially asked his daughter-in-law to go to the field to get more corn cobs to send to others, which was considered a favor.

But Er Mazi's daughter-in-law didn't have much to say. When she left the village, she ran into a few people chatting there and asked her what she was doing in the field.So at noon, Maozi brought a basket of corn cobs to Liu Junhao's house, saying that his mother had given it to him.

"How does your mother know that I want to eat this?" Liu Junhao looked at the seven or eight corn cobs with thick wrists and necks, and he was a little puzzled. He didn't seem to mention it to the hairy child.

"I don't know either. My mother said you like it, so she asked me to pick a basket from the field and deliver it." The little boy just faithfully followed the orders of the adults, and didn't know anything else.

"Send it here, don't leave at noon today, eat boiled corn at Uncle's place." Liu Junhao said and put the basket in the house.

He was talking to Maozi here, but he heard someone's voice outside the door, and when he looked up, it was Liu Laosan walking in with a bamboo basket, and there was half a basket of corn cobs in the bamboo basket.

"Third uncle, just came back from the field? Sit down and have a cup of tea." Liu Junhao hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

"No, I'm here to deliver something." Liu Laosan said as he sent the bamboo basket to the kitchen, and when it fell to the ground, Hu Lala's corn cobs were scattered all over the floor.

"Third Uncle, you...is this for me?" Not only Liu Junhao, but even Professor Zhao was stunned.

"What's wrong, your third uncle is not interested in getting some for you. Didn't you just hear that you want to eat corn on the cob? There is no plant in your field, so I got some over here. Feel free to eat whatever you want in the future." The third uncle said, as long as there is something in the field, I will get it for you."

"Thank you third uncle, thank you third uncle..." Liu Junhao had a smile on his face, but he was quite depressed in his heart. There were so many corn cobs to eat.

Now the corn cobs are not yet mature, so they can't stand to be put away at all, so they have to be picked and eaten now.Even with two more mouths, they wouldn't be able to finish this big pile. It seemed that they could only eat corn on the cob at noon.

"Xiaohao, thank you very much. Every time our brat eats and takes food with you, you don't say anything. We have always wanted to get you something, didn't we hear two Mazi's daughter-in-law was yelling in the village, saying that you like to eat corn on the cob, so I thought about it and got some."

Liu Laosan talked for a while before turning around and leaving, but when he walked forward, Er Mazi entered the yard with a long worm leather cloth bag on his back foot. Looking at the shape of sticks and sticks in most of the cloth bag, Liu Junhao was startled and asked , "Uncle Guangxi, you also gave me corn cobs, didn't you?"

"That's right, didn't you say you wanted to eat it in the morning? I asked my wife to go around the field in the morning and pick some big ones. The baskets at home are all occupied, so I packed them in a cloth bag for you."

"Master Er Mazi, you are late. I have already sent a basket to Uncle Xiaohao, and the third master also sent half a bamboo basket just now..." the boy said quickly.

"Oh, really?" Er Mazi was also taken aback, and then said, "How did he know?"

"It's not the second grandma who said it, but my mother just listened to her."

"This prodigal mother-in-law has a loud voice, and everyone in the village knows it if she farts too much. It was the same when she bought wild boar cubs last time." Er Mazi said cursingly.

But what surprised them was still to come. Aunt Wang also carried a bamboo basket to the door panting, and asked Liu Junhao to help her carry it in. The basket was also full of corn cobs.

Although the third aunt quickly figured out the matter, she said nothing and took the corn cobs back, saying that it was too tiring to handle.While she was speaking, she emptied the bamboo basket and walked away swiftly with the basket in hand.

"Uncle Guangxi, you killed me this time, how can you let me eat so much?" Liu Junhao held his head in pain, it seemed that he was going to eat corn on the cob at night.

"Hey, it's better this way, let your kid eat enough at once"

……

Professor Zhao's two meals were both painful and happy. He kept eating corn on the cob during lunch and dinner, and he didn't eat anything else except this.Although corn on the cob tastes sweet and delicious when cooked, eating too much of the best food will make you lose your appetite.

Of course, he also kept admiring that the countryside is better, and here he felt the harmony and sincerity among the neighbors: if you treat me well, I will naturally treat you well.

These are not felt at all in the city. People in the city lack a sense of security and are full of suspicion and hostility towards neighbors.In his words, "Look at everyone in the city with their mobile phones, which have dozens of phone numbers stored in them, but none of them belong to neighbors."
