Chapter 37 Ducks turn into geese

"Mom, look at the big white geese, the geese, the geese, the geese, the lingering necks sing to the sky. The white hair floats in the green water, and the red palms ripples the clear waves." The little guy saw a group of "big white geese" outside the yard screaming and walking past the yard, and couldn't help but cheer and run towards them.

"This is not a goose, it is a big white duck." The little kid, the hairy kid, followed behind and corrected.

"Well, why do ducks look like goose?" Xiao Haoyu tilted his head and looked at his father in confusion, wanting Zhao Weidong to explain to him.

"This..." Zhao Weidong looked at the group of big white ducks chirping outside the yard, and couldn't say anything for a moment. His understanding of poultry was quite limited, so he turned his eyes and said, "Ask you Uncle Liu, he knows..."

"It's very simple." Seeing the little guy's eyes turned to him, he looked curious, Liu Junhao said with a smile: "You go up and kick it and the big white duck will be clamoring, and the geese will be clamoring," the boy really went up and kicked the duck. The ducks chasing were running around on the road, and finally ran down the ditch before he could finish it.

The weather was a little cooler, and the children were about to go to the river to play, so the adults discussed and went for a walk together. This was the time when the little animals on the river were active. They were shocked by how many water birds were flying along the way. Every time they just took a few steps, they heard a few big birds flying out of the grass on the roadside, and then landed in the grass further away. Xiaopi shouted and rushed forward to chase.

If you want to say that this child has 100,000 why, every time I see something strange, I keep asking, "Uncle Liu, why is the water here so clear? The water I see is mixed."

"Where did you see the water?"

"He is talking about Jinming Lake in the city. He spends a lot of money to manage every year, but although the money is spent, there is no effect. The smell in the lake is still very bad. The main reason is that people often litter there, and a good lake is destroyed," Zhao Weidong explained afterwards.

When the crowd was tired of walking, they sat casually under the willow tree and chatted. The rural people did not pay so much attention to it and would not dislike the dirty underground at all.

In fact, the grass will not be dirty either, and it is soft on it, like a cotton mat.

At this time, a few more people came over chatting and laughing. They should have taken advantage of the Sunday to visit Liujiagou. These people all knew Liu Junhao, so after his introduction, they quickly became familiar with each other. They were talking about some of the right and wrong at work, but Liu Junhao couldn't even put it in his mouth, so he could only listen with his ears.

Xiao Haoyu was a restless person. He insisted on going to the reeds with the hairy child to pick up bird eggs, saying that he wanted to get some back and cook, but was stopped by Liu Junhao.

Although there are many water birds and eggs in the reeds, there are also many water snakes. Children who are used to it are not afraid of it. However, this little guy can recognize a duck as a goose. What if he is scared?

But his efforts were quickly destroyed by Xiaopi. It captured a blue-white bird egg from somewhere and threw it in front of everyone to show off. The bird egg was about the same size as an egg, and Liu Junhao recognized it as a kind of duck egg at a glance.

Xiao Haoyu said nothing and insisted on picking up bird eggs in the reeds. There was no way, so he had to follow his wishes. In fact, several adults were also interested and followed him with the flow. Another person kept taking pictures with the camera.

This duck nest is very close, just in the grass not far away, but the location is very clever. There is a big tree root covering it, which is very hidden. If it weren't for the small leather, I'm afraid everyone would not be able to find it if they were killed.

The nest was as big as a small pot lid, and there were more than a dozen green duck eggs lying inside. When the little guy saw it, he immediately rushed over, took off his clothes, and wrapped them in.

Seeing that he was going to get them all away, Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Give two water ducks two, otherwise this nest will be useless, and the water ducks will not lay eggs inside. After this nest, you can come here to collect the duck eggs every few days."

Drinks have similar habits to domestic ducks. If they have enough food, they can lay eggs all the time, and they can produce more than 100 eggs a year. However, the nests of dung ducks are not easy to find, and they are usually deep in the dense reeds and rarely visited.

Zhao Weidong came to Liujiagou this time, not just because he was just having fun. Instead, his father had already made up his mind to retire here and was about to start building a house. He came to see if there was anything he could help, and by the way, he gave Professor Zhao a rendering of a rural cottage drawn by his friend who he had specially begged to design.

Liu Junhao also leaned over. The picture was beautiful and had a wide view. Looking around, there was a green green mountain in the distance. Nearby was a shallow stream with a three or four-meter-long wooden bridge above. There were also a few crooked willow trees planted beside the bridge, and a few little chickens were leisurely soaking under the trees. The next to it was the yard, with red bricks and green tiles, and the houses were smug and had a distinct courtyard style.

"Beautiful is beautiful, but it doesn't look like living in the countryside, but rather like a villa in the suburbs. I'm not used to living in it, so I'd better find a bricklayer in the village to build one by myself." Professor Zhao looked through the pictures behind and shook his head.

Liu Junhao also felt that this picture was a bit awkward. He probably did not have the experience of living in the countryside and was full of poetry and painting. He thought that the countryside was just a "small bridge and flowing water family".

In fact, Zhao Weidong and his wife were still thinking about this matter early. There is still some time before the autumn harvest. Now the fields are full of living, weeding, fertilization, etc., and the village laborers are not idle at all. It is not too late to consider building a house after the autumn harvest.

Zhao Weidong and his wife and the little guy left the next day. Before leaving, they naturally brought things back in large bags. Even Liu Junhao, the big watermelon that had just been ripe, picked one for them. At first, Zhao Weidong kept refusing, but finally, after Professor Zhao persuaded him to carry the watermelon into the car.

Every time I come, I even get something for food and food. Even the old man lives in Liu Junhao's house, but he says he doesn't charge anything for money, which makes them both embarrassed. They are both real people, and they keep discussing what to bring to others next time they come, so he can't stop collecting it.

But when they thought of buying gifts, they were worried again, because Liujiagou seemed to lack anything. Although those high-end nutritional products were very popular on TV, they were very effective, but they were sneering at them.

What's more, the environment of Liujiagou is nourishing people, and nutritional supplements are not available at all. Just look at Professor Zhao. He has never stopped the high-end nutritional supplements when he was at home, but he still has problems. Now he is getting better and his face is getting rosy, as if he is about ten years younger.

The weather is still hot, but life is getting more and more leisurely. The watermelons at Liu Junhao's house have also reached the ripening stage, which has made the acacia tree even more bent. The green watermelons are hanging on the trees, making every time the city people who come to visit want to pay for one to try when they are amazed.

If Professor Zhao hadn't dissuaded, Liu Junhao almost pulled out these melon seedlings. Although the watermelons have grown, he didn't care much. Although the watermelons are basically ripe one or two every day these days, he and Professor Zhao consume one a day without any trouble. How can there be any extra watermelons to sell? What's more, watermelons are so cheap, and they can only be sold for a few dollars? Now that Liu Junhao has the fixed income project of eels, he no longer cares about these small money.

So the extra watermelon was cut directly and placed in the well water to ice. Anyone who came to the yard would send a large piece of it. Of course, the watermelon seeds were left, so he was going to stir-fry and eat it.

Liu Junhao's melon was watered with his own spring water, and it tasted very sweet. Those who had eaten it naturally praised him, but he still wanted to eat it. In the hot summer, eating a large piece of rustling iced watermelon can dispel the heat, which is indeed a great pleasure.

Unfortunately, there are not many watermelons, and each time they are just one piece. The adults are fine. Although they are a little greedy, they are embarrassed to come and eat watermelons often. The naughty kids in the village don’t care about it, and they come to report it almost once a day or two, making Liu Junhao’s place almost a summer kindergarten. As a result, he didn’t eat much watermelon, and most of them were eaten by these naughty kids.

However, Liu Junhao didn't care about these things. He planted watermelons and made people eat them. It would be fine if he ate them, but he could do anything else. Anyway, he was not going to sell them for money.

Having said that, his melon seedlings can really bear fruit. So far, at least five or six watermelons have been eaten from at least one melon seedling, but a lot of watermelons that are half large on the melon seedlings have been hung, and the yellow flowers are also blooming happily, and there is a tendency to continue.

Looking at this sign, a melon seedling can produce at least a dozen large watermelons. This number is not large. The large flower skins grown by some people in the village once produced at most twenty-two watermelons. But if the weight is considered, it will be different. The watermelons on this tree all have more than ten kilograms, and the largest one is more than twenty kilograms.

This made everyone in the village say that watermelons will grow big when they climb onto the trees. Many people have been thinking about planting a few melon seedlings in their yard next year.
