Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 54 Start Building a House

In the afternoon, Liu Junhao accompanied Zhang Qian and the others on a large circle on the mountain. These girls were surprised at everything they saw, and they kept walking and stopping.

When Su Nana saw a hornet's nest as big as a bowl on her head, she kept urging Liu Junhao to get him to get it off, because she wanted to eat honey.

Liu Junhao was almost speechless. This was the first time he heard of people wanting to eat horse honey. Wasps do not produce honey at all, unless they eat pupae.But he has only heard that wasp pupae can be eaten.Although it is an advanced thing, every time he sees the little fleshy insect wriggling in the hive, he has some psychological barriers.

Sure enough, when he told them the suggestion of eating wasp chrysalis, the girls also kept shaking their heads. It seems that eating this kind of food requires a certain psychological quality.

Zhang Qian had been to the mountains a few times, so she knew a little about the wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains, so she picked a big steamed stuffed bun with a few buddies.They all taste sour, but after the sour taste, there is a hint of sweetness, which is very refreshing.

This thing invigorates the spleen and appetizers, and can also be cooked in rice porridge.Liu Junhao also made a lot, he was just going to take it home to cook porridge for food, last time when Pang Xu was eating accumulated food, he wanted to make some, but the weather was too hot, so he didn't think about it, and today happened to have this opportunity .

He didn't see any big animals along the way, but Liu Junhao didn't let Xiaopi get up to chase the few rabbits he met, because they were too small to eat.

When he came home, he saw two cars parked at the door. He saw the license plate and knew that Zhao Weidong and his wife had led the people over.

Sure enough, as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he saw Xiao Haoyu running towards him, shouting while running: "Uncle Liu, we have brought you something."

"What are you giving?" Liu Junhao hugged him, put his arms around the little guy's waist and circled in mid-air for a few times before letting him go, and then greeted Zhao Weidong and the others.

This time more people came, Zhao Weihong, his wife and daughter also came, and Professor Zhao's wife, a kind-hearted old lady, was also there.

There were two more children, and now the yard was completely lively. Liu Junhao took out all the mountain reds he had just picked for them to eat, and he was about to go to the house to hug a squash, but was stopped by Professor Zhao, saying that Things are too cold.

"Uncle Liu, guess what we gave you? Quickly guess!!" Xiao Haoyu looked at Liu Junhao with a mysterious and expectant look.

"You have to tell Uncle Liu to guess, otherwise who can guess?" Zhao Weihong teased her nephew.

"Well, that thing is a household appliance, and it will light up when you press it..."

"Flashlight?" Liu Junhao deliberately said an impossible answer, and everyone laughed immediately. It seemed that they still remembered Zhao Benshan's sketch.

"No, no" the little guy kept shaking his head, insisting that Liu Junhao continue to guess.

He guessed several times but failed to guess correctly. Finally, Xiao Haoyu announced the answer. It turned out that they sent a computer.

Liu Junhao looked at the brand-new thing on the table and said he would not accept anything. This gift was too heavy for him, costing thousands of dollars. Besides, he couldn't access the Internet at all here, and this computer was just a decoration for him.

Sending the computer was the result of discussions between Zhao Weidong and his younger sister. His father lived and lived for nothing for so long. Of course, they were embarrassed as sons and daughters, so they wanted to buy something for Liu Junhao.

They discussed for a long time before deciding to send the computer. This thing is so useful that they can learn about the outside world without leaving home.In their opinion, Liu Junhao must be very happy to give this thing, so after thinking about it, the two families pooled their money and bought a medium-sized computer.

They didn't discuss it with Professor Zhao before sending it, so they brought it here during the National Day holiday.

Seeing Liu Junhao's resolute refusal, Professor Zhao adopted a compromise method, saying that he would put it at his place first, and wait for his own house to be built.

Then Xiao Haoyu pulled Liu Junhao again and said that he would teach him how to play computer and let a child teach him, which is really a bit embarrassing.He is good at playing with a small brain, so he learned very quickly, and under Xiao Haoyu's training, he quickly learned some basic operations.

Of course, typing is no different from that of beginners. It is the classic two-finger Zen, and the head is on the keyboard to find letters.

The children were hot about everything for a while, and ran out impatiently after teaching for a while, and soon there were two children fighting in the yard, and Liu Junhao ran out as soon as he heard it.

But I saw that the parents of the two families were fighting. After asking, I found out that the reason was the two turtledoves raised by Professor Zhao.

It turned out that the little girl became very excited when she saw these two little turtledoves, and she knocked the five-spice melon seeds she brought and put them in the palm of her hand to feed them.

This turtledove has been raised by people since she was a child, so she is not afraid. It landed on her arm and gently pecked it, which made the little girl giggle. keep.As a result, Xiao Haoyu happened to hear this sentence when he came out, saying that the turtledove belonged to him, so the two children began to argue.

At the beginning, the adults didn't pay attention, until the two little guys started to pull them apart in a hurry. After the parents of both sides comforted them for a while, the two little guys played their own way.

The children's hatred came and went quickly, and they were soon attracted by the group of half-grown teals in the yard, and each of them grabbed a handful of rice grains and sprinkled them on the ground, making the teasing ducks keep chirping.However, due to Liu Junhao's prior explanation, the two little guys didn't dare to pay their attention, because there was an old hen watching covetously.

After the holiday was over, people of the younger generation returned to the city one after another, and the courtyard became calm again.Professor Zhao's wife stayed behind. After a few days of adaptation, she also liked this place, and she also understood why her husband left the house in the city, but he was so focused on encouraging her to come here for the elderly.

The dogs barking softly in the yard, the teals huddled around the old hen and scrambling for food, the smoke rising from the kitchen in the village...all of these are so peaceful and warm, it is indeed a good place for retirement!
Professor Zhao's wife, surnamed Wang, was a high school teacher before retiring. The old man is also a restless person. He just stayed here for a week and wanted to find a job.She happened to hear that there was a shortage of teachers in the village, so she immediately took up the post as a teacher in Liujiagou Primary School, and she also agreed that she would not be paid.Now Zhang Qian's workload has also been reduced a bit, and her life is much more leisurely.

The villagers were naturally very grateful for her behavior, and they sent a lot of things to Liu Junhao one after another.When Professor Zhao was building the house, many people came to help without calling.

Building houses for the people in my village is generally free of money. This is a tradition in Liujiagou, because this kind of help is mutual, and sooner or later my family will have to build a house one day.Although Professor Zhao is an outsider, the villagers also treat him as a member of their own village, and they have agreed that they don't need wages and only need to take care of the food.

The site of Professor Zhao's house was chosen next door to Liu Junhao. Anyway, this piece of grassland is barren grass, so you can build it however you want.When the ground was broken, Liu Junhao also carried a shovel to help.

To build a house, the foundation must be dug first. A group of people used lime to draw the outline of the foundation on the ground and then lowered the shovel to dig. At the beginning, Liu Laosan joked that Liu Junhao had never worked, and digging the foundation would definitely not work, so he had to compete with him. .Encouraged by a group of people, Liu Junhao also took off his shirt and compared him with his shirtless arms.

Liu Junhao swung the shovel like a mini-excavator, screaming, and in less than an hour, a deep trench was dug out, and Liu Laosan had just started.

The people who came to help were all dumbfounded, and said that this kid usually doesn't look very good, but he didn't expect to be a jerk when he was working.Niu pimple is another name for a calf here. Before the bull's nose ring, the momentum is very strong, and most people can't stop three or four of them.

Liu Laosan had no choice but to admit defeat after seeing it. Although he was digging desperately, he was still not half as good as others.

Professor Zhao, as the host, of course has been here to greet everyone, constantly serving tea and water, and letting everyone smoke.

At noon, everyone ate in Liu Junhao's yard. They had just washed their hands and sat down in the house when Teacher Wang and Zhang Qian brought two big dishes into the house.

At the beginning, Mr. Wang wanted to use plates, but he was dissuaded by Professor Zhao. He knew that people here don't pay much attention to appearance, as long as they can eat enough.Do as the Romans do when you go to the countryside, but it seems realistic to use a basin.

So Mr. Wang and Zhang Qian went to the market early in the morning and bought more than 20 catties of meat and other cooked food and came back to cook. Don't worry about vegetables, there are plenty of vegetables in Liu Junhao's yard.

The delicious big meat, with a bite of oil, is very good for dinner. Everyone didn't refuse after being tired for a long time, and started to eat with the steaming white machine-made buns.
