The situation seemed to be unexpected. Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Junhao was a little confused. The aphids on the tender branches were not eaten by the ants. Instead, they gently picked up the aphids and climbed along the trunk, and finally placed them on the tender leaves of the pear tree. This situation was like a nanny taking care of the children.

A seven-star ladybug probably felt the aphid's breath and flew over with its small wings. However, as soon as it landed on the branch, several ants immediately crawled over, and then opened their big mouths and bit the ladybug. The seven-star ladybug was suddenly attacked and could only spread its wings and fly away helplessly.

Damn, how could someone catch insects and get in the way of you? How could he be so domineering? Liu Junhao couldn't understand what the relationship between the three was. He had no intention of continuing to do research. He reached out and pressed them to kill these ants who helped the evil.

But then more and more ants subverted his perception, and saw one or twenty ants quickly climbing up a pear branch, and then gently bit it with their mouths and send it to an adjacent tender branch.

Sun, Liu Junhao no longer has any illusions about ant killing insects. But he still can't figure out what's going on... In a helpless way, he had to withdraw from Shisuo and ask Professor Zhao. The old man had been dealing with Guomu all his life, and he should be very clear about this situation.

"Haha, you guy didn't really study biology books in high school, and he actually wanted to use ants to kill aphids... They are a typical mutually beneficial symbiosis. Let me tell you, aphids will discharge a kind of honeydew when they suck the juice of plants. It contains a lot of sugar. This honeydew is a delicacy for ants. In order to eat honeydew, ants naturally have to protect aphids. When other insects catch aphids, they will run away without hesitation. Even if it rains heavily, the aphids are washed to the ground, the ants will still take them into the cave to hide from the rain, and send them to the plants when the weather is sunny... In addition, the ants will build a 'pasture' like humans to raise aphids, and then obtain a lot of honeydew."

After listening to Professor Zhao's explanation, Liu Junhao finally came back to his senses for a long time and couldn't help but exclaim: "Old man, are you talking about ants? Why do I listen to them being smarter than humans?"

"Have you heard that saying, creatures are much smarter than people think. Don't look at a few tiny ants, their wisdom is not low."

Liu Junhao originally thought it was his own stone lock that made them strange, but now that he knew the reason, he completely lost the idea of ​​using ants to catch aphids. When he got home, he entered the stone lock again and caught these guys with earthen honey. Without them, he believed that the ladybugs should be able to eliminate the aphids soon.

After a long time of hard work, it was almost time to cook. He began to think about what dishes to cook later. Two days ago, Zhang Qian said that she was a little annoyed to eat beans and eggplant, and wanted to change the variety of colors. Liu Junhao thought about it and soaked two kilograms of mung beans in spring water. Now the mung beans are two or three centimeters long, which is the time to eat.

As soon as I grabbed two handfuls of bean sprouts and soaked them, my wife's shout came from outside the yard: "Liu Junhao, come here to help."

"You are..." Liu Junhao quickly walked out of the yard and was surprised to see the scene in front of him: his wife actually came back with half a basket of peaches. Although the peaches were not as big as those on their own trees, they looked quite attractive. Many of the leaves on the peaches were still green, and they were obviously picked not long ago.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and help me get it into the house. It weighs dozens of pounds and I'm almost exhausted..."

Hearing her call, Liu Junhao reacted and hurriedly helped his wife get the big basket into the yard.

"Today's temperature is definitely up 35 degrees." Zhang Qian rushed into the house and hugged the iced watermelon juice, "Gudong Gudong" and took a few big sips, and the heat on her face dissipated.

"Where did you make this peach? It seems that you didn't go out to the street today?" After my wife calmed down, Liu Junhao asked out of his doubts.

"Don't mention it, it was delivered by the parents of the students. During class the day before yesterday, I accidentally told me that peaches on our peach trees were not eaten, but the students remembered them in my heart. When he came home, his parents made half a basket of peaches for me and Aunt Wang. The parents also believed it. I pushed them a few times and asked him to take them back, but he refused. He thought it would be hard to get dozens of kilograms back and forth. So he took them away." Zhang Qian's narration was very plain, but there was an unstoppable smile on her face.

"So many peaches are worth twenty or thirty yuan." Liu Junhao replied hesitantly. His family is not short of those dozens of yuan, and he can't afford such cheapness. Just accept one or two pounds of peaches. That's the wish of the students, but there are too many big baskets.

"Don't worry, I've paid the money. How can a teacher ask for students' things? Besides, if I take the peaches for free today, there will probably be another student to deliver things tomorrow." Zhang Qian saw it clearly.

Before Liu Junhao could do anything, the monkey could not wait to wash four peaches. He and his wife each had one, and the remaining two peaches, Wukong, one monkey clawed in one monkey claw. This guy would never treat him badly at any time!

Don’t say that my wife is really in vain. She is a relatively successful person who can make the students love them so much.

After eating a peach, Zhang Qian was still a little unsatisfied. She washed a few more peaches and said she wanted to squeeze some peach juice to drink, and asked her husband if she wanted it. Liu Junhao ate a few big pears in the morning, but now she is not thirsty, so she shook her head and said that a peach was enough.

The fire was just lit and before the oil was poured into the pot, there was an extremely crisp sound in the living room, and then my wife screamed.

"What's wrong?" Liu Junhao rushed into the living room.

The big glass cup on the ground was smashed to pieces, Zhang Qian looked innocent, waved her hands and said guiltily: "It was not me who broke it, it was Wukong!"

"Zhizhi..." Unexpectedly, the guy was extremely smart, and seemed to understand that the hostess pushed the blame on his head. It grinned and screamed, pointing at the master with its paws and condemned him very angrily, obviously unwilling to take the blame.

"Haha. Safe, Wukong is not allowed to eat at noon." Liu Junhao slapped the monkey's head twice and said with a smile. He naturally understood his wife's little thoughts. When he broke the big porcelain bowl two days ago, Zhang Qian said that he was clumsy. He never thought that this word would be applied to her head in less than a week.

The monkey didn't know if he understood it, but he shouted even more happily anyway.

While having dinner, Zhang Qian suddenly mentioned something, that is, Pang Xu and his wife were planning to come on Sunday.

"Why do they think about coming here at this time?" I have not seen Pang Xu for more than two months, and I miss this guy very much. But they didn't know what they were crazy about. Don't quarrel again, Liu Junhao prayed secretly. As long as the couple quarreled, Xu Xiaoli would definitely complain to Zhang Qian, while Pang Xu kept harassing himself on QQ, which was no different from Xianglin Sao.

"How do I know? I guess I'm tired from work and want to relax." Zhang Qian was a little unsure, always feeling that Xu Xiaoli's decision was too sudden.

Fortunately, the couple came over with natural expressions, at least there was no sign of quarrel on their faces, which made Liu Junhao and his wife breathe a sigh of relief.

"Let's take a look, we also brought a small thing here." Xu Xiaoli got out of the car, then bent down and picked up a bamboo cage from her seat.

"Slow down, slow down, that thing is too heavy. Please rest and I'll do it." Pang Xu quickly pulled his wife away and then took out the bamboo cage himself.

This guy is really good at pretending. The bamboo cage is only as big as a palm, how heavy can it be?

"For this, is this for you to know?" He smiled and handed the bamboo cage to Liu Junhao.

However, when Zhang Qian was paying attention to Pang Xu's words, Xu Xiaoli's face turned red obviously.

"This is... Zhucaizi, did you take away that one before?" Liu Junhao asked in surprise. The little guy in front of him had undergone a huge change compared to a few months ago. The originally gray-black and shiny fur became dirty and could not see any luster. His fat body also became skinny, but the two big front teeth were more obvious. Suddenly, this guy seemed to have just come from a famine in Africa.

"Well. Now the things are returned to the original owner. My buddy has guided it to lose weight these days, which is a little effective." Pang Xu nodded in shamelessness and answered.

When she heard it was a bamboo rat, Zhang Qian hurriedly came to her, but when she saw the little guy, she also showed an incredible expression: "How did you raise it? Can you raise it so thin?" If Pang Xu hadn't nodded just now, she wouldn't believe it was the one before, and she could tell from her head that it was one size smaller.

"Well, this bamboo rat becomes thinner as you raise it." Xu Xiaoli explained embarrassedly. Not only was she very interested when she got it back, but Pang Xu also sneaked to the park from time to time to break up some bamboo shoots and branches to feed it. But the little guy's good luck did not last long. The freshness period passed, and the couple was busy at work, so their care was not so timely. The food turned into carrots and bamboo poles, and threw a lot of them at a time, so that the bamboo rats could eat for several days. Then the treatment gradually decreased, and the staple food became dry steamed buns and instant noodles scraps... The more this guy eats, the more choked it, which is no different from being in prison. However, it is also fortune-telling, and even so, it was not raised to death.

"If you can lose weight like this, it can endorse weight loss advertisements." Liu Junhao laughed and joked. He admired Pang Xu and his wife very much. He was really not something that ordinary people could do.

"This guy is very edible. The place we live in is not as full of food as your yard, so we often go hungry. Xiaoli and I discussed it and just raise it for you. Anyway, Liu Junhao has time." Pang Xu did not feel any guilt at all.

At the beginning, I should have stopped my husband from sending the bamboo rat out. Looking at the little guy's pitiful appearance, Zhang Qian felt very distressed.

After the greetings, Liu Junhao took out a big watermelon from the house and cut it for them to eat.

"We came here to eat watermelon this time." Pang Xu was not polite at all when he saw the big flower melon and took the lead in robbing a large piece. Liu Junhao thought he wanted to eat it himself, but he didn't expect that this guy turned around and stuffed it into his wife's hand.

The couple looked at each other. Could it be that marriage has such a great impact on a person? I remember that when Pang Xu was eating, he seemed to have never let Xu Xiaoli go.

"Don't say, the watermelon you grow is sweet, the ones sold in the supermarket are simply garbage compared to this one." While they were stunned, the man had already grabbed a large piece of gluttony again.

"Haha, if you want to eat, take a few more when you leave. Anyway, you drive a car, so it should be fine to put seven or eight in your pickup card pocket." Liu Junhao smiled and agreed.

Several people were eating. Wukong rushed back from outside. The guy was not polite and immediately rushed forward and stretched his claws to grab a piece.

"Wool... Meow..." The starling flew to the monkey and asked for it. The two birds were not very interested in the watermelon flesh, but they liked eating melon seeds.

"Hey, this is the starling you mentioned on the phone." As soon as Pang Xu and his wife saw the little starling, their eyes immediately widened and they all came to the front.

"Come on, say 'Congratulations on getting rich'" Pang Xu reached out to grab one of them.

"The fish is hooked!" The starling answered with a bad answer.

"Hello!" Xu Xiaoli also shouted softly.

"Play the fishing master!"

"How did this starling teach me? Just say something unreasonable?" Pang Xu tried for a long time, but finally had to give up helplessly.

"Haha, that's it. They can't learn everything by yourself when you really teach them." Liu Junhao replied with a wry smile. He has no hope for the two starlings now, so he should let them learn to become "talents".

"You, a fool!" Pang Xu sighed and was about to turn around and leave.

"You, the fool..." followed by a vivid voice.

"Cough" Pang Xu almost swallowed the watermelon pulp into his lungs. After he recovered, the man began to boast: "What is the master of training the starlings? I just say something casually, they will learn it immediately. It seems that these two guys are really destined to be with me."

"Nonsense, if you can teach them another word, I can give these two guys to you." Liu Junhao said with a lip silence.

"Are you serious?" Pang Xu's eyes began to flash.

"A gentleman's words are as good as a horse." Liu Junhao knows the starlings better than him. The sentence just now should have been learned by accident like the previous few times. If he could continue to teach, that would be a pity.

"Wait, see how your husband wins this bet." Pang Xu nodded confidently to Xu Xiaoli, then coughed a few times and cleared his throat.

"Hello" his voice was very low. When he heard it suddenly, he always felt like the Emperor's general manager who was following the Emperor in the Qing Dynasty braid show.

"You, stupid bird!" The starling's answer was quite creative.

"Haha" Liu Junhao almost burst into laughter.

"Cough...cough..." Pang Xu coughed a few more times, and finally blushed and shouted: "Maybe they are not interested in Chinese, they should try English.hello!"

"You, a fool!" Another starling followed.

In the end, Pang Xu almost fainted. These two guys said something like that after much turning. He didn't take advantage of this, but instead got so many foolish words in vain. It was unfair to think about it.

The four of them chatted about family matters for a few more times, and Zhang Qian pulled Xu Xiaoli to the computer to look at the photos.

When his wife entered the room, Pang Xu sighed again: "Hey, I really envy you."

"Stop" Liu Junhao hurriedly made a stop gesture, "You kid have to complain about finding another place, don't be like Xianglin's wife every time you come." He was indeed a little scared, and the kid was obviously ready to find Niandao again.

"Damn, are you a good guy? What's wrong with listening to me telling me? Could it be that I'd rather see my buddy suffering in the fire pit?" Pang Xu shouted with wide eyes.

"Okay, okay, you say, I'll listen." There is a saying on the Internet that is good, guys are like that, when do you need to go up.

"What do you think we lived in high school is called life? Every day, a few buddies sneak out to surf the Internet and play billiards, or just raise money to make a meal." The boy sighed, and then began to remember the bitterness and sweetness.

"That's whether you are good or not, I didn't do these things." Liu Junhao was born and corrected. This guy was a little bad. He always liked to press the funny things he had done on his head.

"Dare you say you haven't escaped class? In the summer, I asked me to take a shower at Baimayan. At that time, you said that your feet were cramped, but my buddies rode bicycles to carry you."

"Okay, even if I have done the above things, what do you want to say?"

"A friend who went to college for a few years was completely abandoned. He studied computer science. In the past few years, he knew nothing about professional courses. He just graduated and looked for a job, so he could not get too high or low. If Xu Xiaoli hadn't been in charge, I would still be floating around now..." He sighed, his face full of depressed expressions.

"Ah," Liu Junhao sighed lightly, and did not express any comments.

"Damn, why are you so cold?" Pang Xu hummed in dissatisfaction.

"What do you want me to react? It's because you boy is unwilling to learn it yourself. I don't believe that everyone in your school is like this."

"Yes, I forgot that you guys haven't been to college."

"Okay, stop complaining, say something else. How is your job recently?" Liu Junhao saw that he became more and more depressed as he spoke, so he changed the topic.

"The work is OK, it's neither good nor bad, it's just a lot of pressure. By the way, there's something that's a good thing, Xiaoli has a child."

"Really? That's a good thing." Liu Junhao was happy and then sighed in his heart: This speed is simply Shenzhen speed, getting married and having children is one-stop, and there is no time to be delayed.

"That's why my buddy is so depressed. I was going to have a child two years later, just like you. But my parents were anxious to hold my grandson. Xiaoli and her parents also had the same meaning. I am now three mountains pressing on my head. Houses, children, and wife have to support me. Look at what I have been worried about these days, I have lost at least ten kilograms of meat. My hair, and my young and young have turned white."

"Nonsense, you're bloody, you had white hair when you were in high school." Liu Junhao revealed the truth without hesitation. He used to feel that this person was heartless, but now he has so many feelings when he entered society.

"How about my child accepting you as his godfather?" Pang Xu suddenly asked again.

"Haha, okay." Liu Junhao agreed immediately. He had discussed with Zhang Qian before and accepted this guy as his godfather when he had a child, but he didn't expect that the two of them had a very similar idea.
