Chapter 42 The Cow's Curse

After eating, Liu Junhao ran to the backyard and picked a large watermelon from the tree. The watermelon was not yet ripe when they came last time, but this time it was past the watermelon season. The users who grow melons in the village Basically all the melon seedlings in the field were pulled.

But here, I can catch up with eating autumn melons, and the taste is still as good as ever, with crispy and delicious flesh.

The watermelon in Liu Junhao’s family is also a wonder. This season, the watermelon seedlings are still emerald green, and there are many small flowers blooming here and there. Looking at the momentum, they seem to continue to produce watermelons.

This surprised many people. Even Professor Zhao studied it every day, as if he wanted to find out the reason why the watermelon was abnormal, but Liu Junhao knew in his heart that his spring water should be working to prolong the watermelon. result period.

This season, Liu Junhao is the only one who still has watermelons here. He has already put five or six big flower skins in his house, which were all picked a few days ago.

"Shuang, every time I come to your place, the food and drink are so delicious that I don't want to go back. This time I will stay for a while longer, and I will go back when I have lived enough." Pang Xu didn't eat at all, holding a piece of watermelon While chewing and talking.

"You can stay as long as you want, but you won't be able to jump for a few days, I'm afraid school will start soon?" Liu Junhao said, throwing the watermelon seeds in his hand into the bamboo sieve.

During this period of time, he has dried half a bag of watermelon seeds, and it seems that he should be able to fry them several times.It's just that the weather was relatively hot a few days ago, and he had been too lazy to be busy in the stove. Now that they happened to be here, it would be nice to have some fried watermelon seeds as a treat.

"It's okay, there are no classes this year, and the teachers at school are also rushing us to find work and practice outside, so it's better to stay at home for a few more days." Pang Xu said nonchalantly.

"It's better to go out and look for a job earlier. The employment situation is so serious now..." Professor Zhao persuaded at this time. After these two contacts, he has already seen that this young man, Pang Xu, is as careless as Liu Junhao. The kind of person with no lungs, so I like it from the bottom of my heart, and I don't want to see this kid take detours.

"I also want to find a job early, but for fresh graduates like us, it doesn't matter if you have no experience. Finding a job is harder than going to heaven. Rice field eel, how about you give me 2000 yuan a month?"

"2000 yuan, you kid is too dark, why don't you grab it?" Liu Junhao laughed and scolded, "I don't need to raise eels at all, they can find food by themselves..."

They were eating, when a half-grown kid from the village came in, and when he saw a guest in the yard, he called timidly: "Uncle Xiaohao, my dad has something to do with you."

This bear boy is called Liu Yulin, although his name is quite delicate, but like Maozi, he is also very tough, and his nickname is Xiaowazi, that's because his father's nickname is Dawazi.

"Give me a piece of melon," Liu Junhao said, pulling him over, handing him a large piece of watermelon, and then asked, "What does your father want from me?"

"Our calf is about to pierce the cow's nose ring, and a few people can't hold it down, so my dad will ask you to help." He said while holding a watermelon and chewing on it.

"Okay, I'll go right away." He stood up and said to Professor Zhao, "Uncle Zhao, you stay at home and talk with Pang Xu and the others, and I'll come as soon as I go."

"How did the cow's nose get stuck? I'll go and see, maybe I can help." Pang Xu became interested. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing, and he felt it was very new.

"Okay then," Liu Junhao saw him eager to try, so he nodded in agreement, so Zhang Qian and Xu Xiaoli also followed behind. Finally, Professor Zhao saw that he was alone in the room, and locked the door, and the five of them huddled together. Walked vigorously towards the village.

Xiaowazi's half-grown yellow ox was born in Chunshang, and it is now half a pile.At this time, calves are the most irritating. Once they run into the fields, they are a big disaster. Even eating and kicking, they can ruin a large area of ​​crops in one trip.Therefore, when the calf grows to such a large size, most villagers will consciously put a bull nose ring on it to prevent it from continuing to have fun.

When Liu Junhao arrived, there were already three or four people under the medlar tree in front of Xiaowazi's house. It seemed that they were all called for help. After greeting each other, they were all waiting there.When everyone arrived, the eldest child brought the old cow into the yard, and the calf followed him into the yard.

Then the big boy took the old cow out again, mainly because he was afraid that the old cow would scream when he saw them catching the calf. The scalper is actually very protective of the calf. Seeing his child suffer, he can go without food for days and nights. moo moo.

A few people closed the door casually, and started chasing and intercepting the calf. The calf also felt the danger, and kept running around in the yard, but the farmer was very sloppy, and he had a clear division of labor as soon as he came up. Yes, the one who pressed the body, the one who pulled the leg, pressed the calf under the tree three times, five times and two times, and Pang Xu was also assigned a glorious task of catching the tail of the cow. Of course, Professor Zhao is the kind of spectator...

The calf was also struggling desperately, mooing and mooing non-stop, and its four hooves were kicking wildly on the ground.

But five or six laborers went up, and the men in the countryside had plenty of strength. A few of them stuck the calf there, and then let the old cow in the village mount the horse.

The old Niutou has dealt with cows all his life, and has been in charge of the animals in the village since he was in the production team, so he is very familiar with wearing cow nose rings.He first took out a sharpened wooden stick, got a bowl of wine and washed it, then went forward to grab the nose of the cow, and with a sudden stab, the nose was pierced before the cow could react. up.

Someone nearby had already handed over a half-cut thin bamboo pole, and the old bull quickly inserted the bamboo pole into the cow's nostrils, put wire rings on both ends, tied the reins, and everything was done.

Placing this ox nose ring is equivalent to putting a magic spell on its nose. When the calf is having fun again, as long as the rope is pulled, the ox nose ring will pull its nose sorely, and the calf can only be honest. Really follow the master.

Just as Pang Xu let go of the ox's tail, the calf suddenly urinated "squeaky", and he was caught off guard and splashed his trousers.

"Damn, why do I have such a bad idea, bullying honest people..." Pang Xu yelled, and hurriedly took a big step back.

Seeing his distressed appearance, everyone burst into laughter.

After finishing his work, Liu Junhao declined the eldest son's persuasion, and led the three of them to Liu Guangju's house to ask for the key, but Professor Zhao didn't follow. He chatted with the group of people in the village under the tree.Everyone in the village knows him, from initial curiosity to acceptance, now they regard him as a half-Liujiagou person, so they don't have so many restraints when speaking.

"I must post this photo on the Internet when I go back. It's the first time I've seen a bull nose, but it's a little cruel." Xu Xiaoli said looking at the photo on her phone.

"It's cruel, don't some people wear nose rings in the city? I saw that it was the same as the nose rings of animals." Pang Xu said disapprovingly.

"Fuck you, turn the corner and swear at people." Xu Xiaoli smiled and hit him.

"To tell you the truth, it would be more fashionable if we tied a rope to their nose rings to lead them around," Pang Xu continued chattering.

Liu Junhao didn't have so many ideas. In his opinion, it is normal for cattle to wear nose rings. In rural areas, cattle are regarded as the most important labor force, and they are used for pulling carts on plowing land. The animals can't be manipulated.What Xu Xiaoli said is just that she doesn't understand the countryside.

When they arrived at Liu Guangju's house, he was watching TV in the house, his black dog jumped out immediately, but when he saw Xiaopi, he immediately withered.Although Xiaopi has not grown up yet, he has gradually revealed his demeanor as a king, and he has faintly become the boss of the dogs in the village.

"Uncle Guangju..." Liu Junhao called out three times before Liu Guangju came out of the room.

"Xiaohao, you are a rare visitor, what wind brought you here, come here, come and sit in the house." Liu Guangju said and gave them some cigarettes, but Liu Junhao and Pang Xu didn't smoke, so they just smoked. He declined.

The furnishings of Liu Guangju's house can only be described as ordinary in the village. In the main room, there is a table against the wall, with a few paintings hanging on it, and the floor of the house is paved with green bricks.

Liu Junhao didn't plan to stay here any longer, so he simply told Zhang Qian about going to Liujiagou to be a teacher, and asked him for the school key by the way.

Liu Guangju saw that the school was about to start and there were no teachers coming. He thought that Liujiagou Primary School was really going to close down this time, and he was worried. He didn't expect the teacher to come now.He was naturally happy when he heard about this, and he insisted on Zhang Qian having dinner at his house at night. In the end, Liu Junhao said that they are all his classmates, so there is no need to bother, and let him entertain, so let it go, but When they left, Liu Guangju still repeatedly emphasized that he would go to accompany the guests at night.
