Chapter 22 Countryside Interests
It is indeed as Professor Zhao said, the people in the city live in cages made of cement steel bars all day long, and are particularly envious of the life in the countryside. The two little guys are full of curiosity, and even sigh for a long time when they see a well.
At first, Liu Junhao picked two tomatoes for them and asked them to chew them. Zhao Weihong hurriedly grabbed them and said, "It's not washed with cleaning liquid, it's not hygienic."
"Let them eat it. This thing is green food and has never been used in pesticides." Professor Zhao has eaten comfortably these days, so he naturally knows.
Although Zhao Weihong was a little worried, she still let go. After all, she was a guest and could not be too picky.
"Mom, it's so delicious, one hundred times better than the tomatoes we bought in the supermarket." After taking a few bites, the little girl couldn't help but exclaim and insisted on letting her mother take a bite. Zhao Weihong refused at first, but in the end she refused, so she took a perfunctory bite. As a result, she also held a tomato and ate it, and she no longer had the image of an adult.
Several people were having fun, but at this time Xiaopi ran back, put down his prey, and barked at the stranger under the tree. Fortunately, Liu Junhao discovered it early and called it.
Today, Xiaopi caught another half-sized rabbit, which was very fat. Now the wheat has just been harvested, and the ground is endless and empty, and the rabbit has no place to hide. This gives Xiaopi a place to display its talents. It basically catches a rabbit after three or five days to come back to give Liu Junhao a tooth sacrifice.
The lunch meal was settled, and Liu Junhao found Mao's child again and asked him to contribute the cicadas he caught yesterday to serve with a dish.
This is the season for cicadas to be unearthed. At night, cicadas are densely populated from the ground, starting from six or seven o'clock in the evening, and cicadas crawled out until three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, especially from ten or eleven or two o'clock, cicadas crawled out in a swarm as if they were going to the market.
There are often people here sitting in the yard under the trees to enjoy the cool air, cicadas climb onto their thighs, or enjoying the cool air on bamboo beds, cicadas climb onto the bed, and even more, several cicadas holes appear in the house.
The group of naughty children were also very excited. They took hand lanterns to grab them at night. The soil of Daqing Mountain was particularly suitable for cicadas to survive. A tree could touch more than 30 cicadas at a night, and a small forest could touch more than ten kilograms at a night. The cicadas they touched were eaten by themselves. When they returned home, they fryed them with soybean oil. The cicadas that had just peeled off were light yellow and tender. They smacked their lips and drooled when they thought about it.
There are many trees in Liu Junhao's yard and many cicadas. These days, Professor Zhao will grab them with a hand lantern at night, like a child. Then the two of them fry them as midnight snacks, and they will feed them eels if they can't finish them.
It’s just that it’s daytime, and all the cicadas they caught yesterday have eaten. So Liu Junhao asked the group of naughty kids in the village for it. At this time, the rest are mainly because there are no shells, because it is too difficult to peel them. These naughty kids can’t finish eating the shells, so they have no time to peel them, so they are all raised in basins.
The cicadas were fried at noon. The yellow cicadas were slightly mixed with thirteen fragrant noodles. They were fryed in soybean oil. The fragrance spreads all over the yard. Before they were cooked, the two little guys were surrounded by the pot, drooling and gnawing on their nails.
Not to mention children, even a group of adults secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, because the fragrance was too strong, and they crawled into your nose and hooked out the greed. Then there was a braised hare, which was an authentic hare. Looking at the extremely tender rabbit meat, it immediately made people feel appetite. Then fried eels and roasted crucian carp were all home-cooked dishes, but each one was not ordinary.
The meal left the group of people in the city without any image, and they even said it was delicious, especially the plate of fried cicadas, which was completely occupied by the two little guys. Even Zhao Weihong wanted to eat more. The two little guys kept eating chopsticks, and their mouths were filled with oil flowing down the corners of their mouths. In the end, they started a fight over who had eaten too much.
After dinner, I brewed a cup of tea that Liu Junhao grew by himself, and the tea fragrance was everywhere. The tea was seen everywhere in the fields and hillsides. Rural people usually pulled two handfuls when cutting grass and herd cattle. When steaming buns, they put them in the lid of the pot and steam them, and then dried them as tea. The tea was a little bitter, but it can clear away heat and eliminate poison. It tasted good and had a strong aroma. The piece planted in Liu Junhao's yard was watered with spring water and grew very lush and neither of them could drink it.
Tasting the rich aroma of tea, a large group of people kept smacking their lips, saying that it was better than the high-end tea I bought, and I should bring some with me when I left.
It was originally recommended that they would pick up Professor Zhao back in the afternoon, but after most of the day, they also understood why their father wanted to live here. Not to mention Professor Zhao, even the younger generations had the idea of living for a while.
They no longer urged Professor Zhao to go back. After all, their father lived well here, and when several people were about to go back, they had trouble. The two little guys said they didn't want to leave, saying that they wanted to catch cicadas at night.
Several adults discussed and said that tomorrow is Sunday anyway, and they can play for one day, so they will stay here for one more day. Liu Junhao told Jiang Biyun that he would arrange to live in the school classroom. It is hot now and there is no need to cover a quilt. One list and one cool mat is enough.
At night, a large group of people joined forces to catch the cicadas. The two little guys were even more enthusiastic. They kept comparing with whoever caught many cicadas, even adults were the same. When the relatives and friends group cheered for their children with great enthusiasm.
Most of the cicadas were naturally used as midnight snacks, allowing a group of people to make trouble until one or two o'clock before going to bed.
The next day, they followed Liu Junhao to the wheat field that had just been harvested to catch rabbits. The people in the city were inexperienced. When they saw the rabbit, they were shocked and really chased them, but they couldn't run away. The rabbits they met were basically all ran away, and in the end they sent Xiaosie to catch a big rabbit.
Fishing is better than fish, and it doesn't matter whether you catch a rabbit or not. The important group of people are in this beautiful countryside, listening to the noisy cicadas, watching the hedgehogs, big snakes, etc. running past them, and they are completely out of scheming in surprise and are like big children, integrating into this natural area.
The past two days of rural life have made them happy. The two children said they didn’t want to go back and insisted on living with Professor Zhao. There is no endless summer training here, and there are only all kinds of fun and delicious food.
The two families discussed for a while and nodded helplessly. In fact, they wanted to live there for a few more days, but they had jobs and couldn't leave.
Before leaving, Zhao Weiguo wrapped an envelope, which cost about 2,000 yuan, saying that it was causing trouble for Liu Junhao, which made Liu Junhao refuse with a dark face. Although the people in the mountains were poor, they were hospitalized. How could he receive such money?
While the two were refusing, Professor Zhao blocked the money back. He lived with Liu Junhao these days and knew that this young man was very good. He lived for so long, and he did not neglect at all. Instead, the relationship between the two was getting better and better. Isn’t it a slap in the face to give money at this time?
In this way, a group of adults were still very excited on the way back. The rural life in the past two days made them feel very fresh. They were far away from the impetuousness of the city and agreed to come again next week.
When he got home, Zhao Weihong still hadn't reminiscent of the excitement. After resting for a while, he turned on the computer and passed the photos he took in Liujiagou to the computer.
She took a total of hundreds of photos, and she didn't give up until the digital camera had no space. Speaking of which, it was her first time living in the countryside. She felt it was very fresh, so she took photos of Liu Junhao's yard inside and out, and even took a few photos of the food she ate.
Looking at these unique photos, thinking of the wild game I ate in Liujiagou, Zhao Weihong couldn't help but send a few photos to the space on the 18th floor. This is a very famous website and the forum is very popular. It happened to have recently launched an event called "Intoxicating Countryside".
She was about to participate in the competition with the photos she just took. Less than half an hour after she was posted, Zhao Weihong refreshed it and was shocked. She hurriedly called her husband to see it. There were more than 100 messages below, and people asked where they took the photos, and many people even sent her text messages.
This immediately made Zhao Weihong interested. He put all the photos he took on and talked about his travel route. This post was quickly placed on the homepage by the editor of the website. Within an hour of clicking, it reached the top and the comments quickly exceeded 1,000.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Liu Junhao. He was paying attention to the old turtle eggs in the stone lock at this moment. He almost forgot that he had buried several old turtle eggs in the sand beside the spring water. He accidentally looked at the sand and saw a few old turtle cubs the size of eggs crawling on the beach, with a slightly yellow texture on his back.
