Chapter 158: The arrival of the troops
Hao, the visitor is here..."
"You guys are here, it's okay on the way..."
Just as he was numb at the entrance of the village, the people who were enjoying the cool breeze greeted the group of people. Liu Junhao hurriedly smiled and answered in front of him one by one.
Yesterday morning, Zhang's mother called Liujiagou and said she would take a bus to come tomorrow. As soon as she received this news, he and Zhang Qian immediately started to be busy. They didn't have to worry about eating. It would be enough for the table and food to be tidy up in the yard. The key is to live in, and they must be arranged in advance. You can't let others sleep in the yard and watch the stars at night.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with looking at the stars. Now many people in the village will carry a mat and take a single pillow after dinner at night, and go to a bed next to the Dayan pond. Then a large group of people sit there and fan the palm fan while chatting. When they get tired of chatting, the heat will dissipate and they lie down by the Dayan pond to sleep.
Liu Junhao used to do this in the summer, but now he has an electric fan, so he is too lazy to move. He always plays with the computer and sleeps directly on the bed, and then sleeps until dawn.
Their marriage was basically a foregone conclusion. This time, Zhang Qian's parents came here mainly to discuss some details, and even went to Liujiagou for a trip. Her brother, sister-in-law, and aunt's family also took this opportunity to come. Except for Zhang's mother and Zhang Qian's sister-in-law, the rest of the people here are the first time they come to Liujiagou.
In order to welcome their arrival, Liu Junhao got up at around 6 o'clock in the morning to clean the yard carefully. As soon as he put down his bowl, Zhang Qian also pushed the car over.
Although Zhang's mother repeatedly told them not to pick up the car, the two of them still rode their bikes to the town early.
Just now, everyone was dizzy from the sun when they were numb. As soon as they entered the village, they felt that the heat in their bodies disappeared without a trace, as if they suddenly changed into a new world.
Various trees enveloped the entire village in a green shade. There were small bridges and flowing water everywhere. You could even see many fish swimming down the bridge. It seemed that with just one stretch of your hand, you could catch a few.
Many people have green plants wrapped around the walls of the courtyards, including long beans, huge gourds, and thick loofahs. Each one makes people feel very gratifying when they see it.
"The small bridge and flowing water are not bad. It's really good. This is the legendary paradise." Uncle Zhang Qian sighed all the way.
"Yes. I didn't believe it when I heard our Xiaofan say it before. No wonder this kid didn't want to leave last time." I personally felt the quiet and harmonious atmosphere here. Aunt Zhang Qian couldn't help feeling relieved.
These days she has been looking for someone to ask for relationships. She wants to stuff her son to a key middle school. So far, she has given gifts a lot, but she has not found any better ways.
Some people say that this can be done. But as soon as they open their mouths, they will have to pay 50,000 yuan for school selection. This is much beyond the psychological endurance of the couple. They discussed whether they could lose a little. Who knew that people said that this is already low enough. If they don’t have a local household registration, they would have to add 10,000 yuan.
Aunt Zhang Qian was a little moved, but her husband objected. If it was 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, it would be fine. If it was 50,000 yuan at once, it would be basically worth the couple's annual salary. You can't spend all the money on this.
Besides, they know the grades of their children. When they go to key high schools, they will definitely account for the bottom of the class. Teachers have always ignored such students.
It would be better to let your son go to an ordinary high school, so that it would be lighter for the couple to save some money. After all, this is the first step of the Long March, and the children will have to go to college in the future.
Aunt Zhang Qian has been in a mess these days and doesn't know what to do. She was worried, but she received a call from her sister. She didn't want to come, but she couldn't help but Zhang's repeated persuasion, so she had to agree to come over and relax.
As soon as she arrived in Liujiagou, she knew she was right.
Before they could reach the door, Professor Zhao and his wife had already come out.
Walking into Liu Junhao's yard, everyone sighed again. The sun-covered trumpet flowers on the building gate were blooming, and many bees were buzzing around their heads. Although the jujube trees had just produced thumb-sized dates, they were also curved on the ground. The magpies were chirping on the branches, and several Qingzhuangs followed them closely with their wings.
Zhang's mother and daughter-in-law were better, but the remaining few people were not as good as they could. They kept looking here and there, and they felt fresh in everything they saw.
"This fire head is the one I mentioned before?" Zhang's father stood by the pool, looking at the fire head swimming around inside, and felt a little bit like a guide to the country.
"Well, it's this." Liu Junhao nodded quickly.
All the topics were all around Liu Junhao's yard. At noon, he and Zhang Qian wanted to cook in person, but who knew that Teacher Wang, Zhang Ma and others surrounded the kitchen tightly and did not give them a chance to show off.
Helplessly, the two had to sit there and chat with Zhang's father.
Liu Junhao packed the ingredients for cooking early, and the pots in the kitchen were three in a row, so he could stir-fry two dishes at the same time. Therefore, less than an hour later, Zhang's mother asked them to wash their hands and eat.
Most of these dishes are produced in the yard. Although they are not rich, they have been watered with spring water and taste absolutely nothing.
Everyone has eaten braised eels, so there is no need to say much. The stewed old hens, fried floating tips, fried chrysanthemum lotus, etc. are even more intoxicating.
After dinner, Liu Junhao originally wanted to cut another watermelon, but was stopped by Zhang's mother.
I'm full and I can't hold more in my stomach.
So a group of people sat under the poplar trees and chatted. Ozeyu was already familiar with the two little guys from Professor Zhao's house at noon. Now the three of them squatted beside the stone slab and started playing cards.
After a long time of gossip, Zhang's mother began to talk about her daughter and son-in-law. Naturally, there was no such thing as Liu Junhao and Zhang Qian interrupting in this situation, so they could only listen to it with one ear next to them.
In fact, there is nothing to say. Liu Junhao's family has neither elderly nor brothers and sisters, so there is no need to mention those who divide the family and dowry.
Now they mainly discuss when to get married and where to hold a banquet.
Originally, Liu Junhao wanted to do it again during the Chinese New Year, but Zhang's mother chose the time to eleventh, saying that she was looking for someone to calculate it, and that life was good.
Well, just eleven. Of course, he hopes to live a warm life with his wife and children as soon as possible. But the time is a bit tight, and he is also preparing to clean up the house in Qiuli. Judging from this situation, construction will probably start in two days.
As for the venue for the banquet, Zhang Ma also tends to hold it directly in Liujiagou. Not only does she spend a lot of money in a hotel in the city, she also makes trouble.
"Uncle, uncle, you take us to the river to pick up bird eggs?" The adults were chatting, but Xiaozeyu ran over and pulled Liu Junhao's clothes and wandered away.
After hearing what he said, Professor Zhao knew that it must be his grandson's encouragement. He turned his head and looked over, and indeed saw the little guy lowering his head guiltily.
My grandson was fine when he first came, but after he got to know each other in the village, he became solid. He led Tongtong everywhere all day long, went into the water to catch fish, and threw hornet nests into the thorny bushes. There were even a few times when he wanted to follow the hairy child to pick up bird eggs in the reed marsh. However, I kept watching it very tightly, so I didn't let him do it. I didn't expect that he would learn to save the country in a curve.
"Haoyu, don't mess around." Wang Yun quickly pulled his son over, and the adults were talking about it.
"It's getting colder now, why don't we go to the riverside?" Zhang's mother said, seeing that her grandson wanted to go out for fun, so she spoke.
"Okay, take a walk and eat." Professor Zhao nodded in agreement.
Although the hottest time of the day has passed, the cicadas still screamed in a ball at the top of their throats.
They walked under the shade of trees all the way, but they didn't feel hot.
Now is the season for crops in the field to grow strongly. The sesame seeds and peanuts bloomed in countless small flowers, and the whole air was filled with the fragrance of crops, which made everyone who lived in the city for a long time unable to help but take a few deep breaths...
Before they could get off the river beach, they heard the noise coming from afar.
There is no need to guess that the naughty kids in the village came to take a shower while others were not paying attention. Liu Junhao could even tell the sound of the furry kid from it.
Not only were the two teachers worried about taking a bath in the river, but the parents also stared at their children every day.
But no matter how tight you keep an eye on it, it is useless. Once you are not careful, the child will steal it. When the parents find out, their children have already run away.
A crisp sound of "bang" came. Liu Junhao was quite familiar with this sound, and it was the sound of "smashing melons" into the river.
Melon-wrapped is an event that children like to compete when swimming. They stand on a high place on the shore and pinch their noses and jump into the water. This is somewhat similar to the diving competition in the Olympics.
However, there has been no systematic training. Every time those naughty kids fall into the water, and they fall to the water first. They suddenly sound like a watermelon falling to the ground, so it is called a melon drop.
"The teacher is here, the teacher is here!!" Before they could get closer, the sharp-eyed furry child began to scream. Then the guys were all thrust into the water, hoping that the teacher would not find himself.
The few people found it funny and simply stood in the shade of trees on the shore and waited. In less than half a minute, they all exposed their tanned bodies from the water one by one.
The hairy child has been holding it for the longest time. As soon as he showed up, he found that the person on the shore had not left yet. He pinched his nose and wanted to continue to pierce it into the water.
"Liu Changlin, come up to me." Under Teacher Wang's scolding, they all climbed ashore obediently.
Good guy, no children in the village are allowed.
"Say, who took the lead?" After they put on their clothes and stood in a row, Teacher Wang began to ask again.
These naughty kids are very loyal. After asking for a long time, they lowered their heads and looked at me. I looked at you, but they didn't speak. It seemed that they wanted to stand it to the end.
"I don't say it, right? Then I'll punish you for going to my house to do summer homework every day after lunch. I'll watch you every day." As soon as she said that, the little guys immediately started to cry on their faces.
In fact, Teacher Wang was also looking for someone to get angry, and she had already planned to do this. The students in the village were hard to guard against, so it would be better to gather them together to study at noon. This will not only relieve parents' worries, but also allow students to learn more knowledge.
I couldn't sleep when I lay in bed, so I wanted to get up and go to bed again and again. Haha, I didn't expect that I would be more energetic now.
Please give me a ticket and recommendation next month!!
