Chapter 40 Between Neighbors

Fortunately, he stayed at the door for a while, otherwise the group of hens would have been tragically defeated by the enemy this time. Liu Junhao saw it approaching the chicken cage again, and hurriedly turned on the hand lantern in his hand and shone it towards the grass raccoon.

It was so scared that it took a step back, then stopped, blinked at Liu Junhao, and shook its fiery red tail a few times, quite arrogant. It was obvious that Xiaopi would not come back in a while, and the person in front of him would definitely not be able to catch up with him.

This was the first time he saw such a bold beast. He grabbed the shovel leaning against the house and swung it up. The fox reacted quickly, and his body flashed and had already crawled out of the waterway. He screamed deep outside the courtyard wall, constantly provoking, as if he wanted to tease him and chase him.

The outside of the yard was full of weeds, and the grass raccoon could not be found when he crawled in. Even if he went out, it would be useless. Therefore, Liu Junhao made up his mind to stop caring about the provocation of the beast and turned around and went back to the house. However, without waiting for him to take two steps, the fox ran in again and continued to call at him. When Liu Junhao stepped forward, it turned around and ran away.

The tiger is not showing off its power, you really think I am a sick cat. Liu Junhao gritted his teeth and went back to the house to take out the chain ring gun he had made a few days ago, put it on gunpowder, and stood in the yard waiting.

As soon as the fox appeared, he raised his hand and shot it. Fires flashed in the darkness. The iron sand sprayed out of the muzzle made the fox jump around the base of the wall, and then quickly penetrated into the waterway and ran away.

The distance he shot was a little far, so the power of iron sand was greatly reduced and he could not hurt the fox at all. However, even so, the two foxes were so scared that they never dared to come over again. It turned out that the beast knew it was afraid.

Time passes slowly, and the hottest season is about to pass, and it will take a while to harvest autumn, which is also the busiest season of the year.

The fields were covered with green and oily green everywhere, especially corn, which had grown to more than one person's height. The large corn produced was spitting out its beard on the cob, which looked very gratifying.

Liu Junhao naturally became envious when he saw this thing. At this time, the corn on the cob was the most delicious. Whether it was cooked or cooked, it was so crispy that it became more delicious. The more you chewed it, the more you tasted it.

He now regrets that he didn't plant some corn at the beginning, otherwise he could cook corn on the cob and eat it now.

Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn. Liu Junhao didn’t plant anything in the field this year. Now he wants to eat corn and the cobs and has nowhere to break it.

It seems that living with this stone lock alone will not work. Next year, you will still have to plant some land. Plant some of the food you want, which will be convenient to eat. Moreover, it also has the advantage of spring water. I believe that the crops you grow will definitely be better than those of other people's homes.

Then again, the spring water in the stone lock was not fully utilized. He didn't do much serious work since the day he got it. He just used it to raise fish and water vegetables, and did nothing else. Seeing that the villagers were busy in the fields, he felt that he was really a lazy man. In the past, people like him who were lazy in the countryside could not find a wife.

However, Liu Junhao also felt that his current state was very good, and he had no worries. He lived a leisurely life, like a god.

When he looked up and saw the dates on the trees, his thoughts became active again. He thought that it would be good to plant some fruit trees in the open space in the front yard next year, and there were not many. Each one was enough to eat at home, and he didn't expect to sell it for money. He also had to plant some flowers and plants in the yard, so that the yard would look more vital.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, it was his long-term plan. At present, he still had to solve the problem of greed. After thinking about it, he caught two pounds of eels and sent them to Ermazi's house and said that he would exchange eels for corn cobs.

As a result, Ermazi didn't stop anything and kept pushing Liu Junhao out of the door.

"You can break the corn in the field and eat as much as you want, but if you take it home, I will naturally buy it in your yard if I need it, and if you bring it up, I won't even let you in the door." This is Ermazi's original words. He always remembers Liu Junhao's favor. He didn't thank him for buying wild boars last time. If it weren't for their help, I would have been cheated by the scammers for a few thousand dollars he brought.

What's more, the eels in farmhouses have always been caught in other people's yards. People from this village come to buy eels. No matter how much they sell, Liu Junhao always costs ten yuan per pound.

Although people don’t say anything in person, they say he is honest when chatting in private, and they all remember it in their hearts.

Now Liu Junhao wants to eat a few corn, cobs and two pockmarks, naturally he is willing to do it. Moreover, this thing is not a rare thing, it is not valuable at all. A pound of corn kernels is only 50 or 60 cents. If he really accepts these eels and doesn’t let the villagers poke his backbone, how can he stay in the village in the future?

After seeing Liu Junhao off, Ermazi specifically told his wife to get more corn on the field and send it to others, which was a favor.

But Ermazi's wife had no idea. When she left the village, she met a few people chatting and asking her what she was doing in the field. She said this and was heard by others. So at noon, the child was carrying a basket of corn cobs to Liu Junhao's house, saying that it was his mother who asked him to give it to him.

"How did your mother know that I want to eat this?" Liu Junhao looked at the corn cob with thick hands and necks a little confused. He seemed to have never mentioned it to the hairy child.

"I don't know either. My mother said you like to eat, so she asked me to pick a basket in the field and send it to me." The Mao child just faithfully carried out the adult's orders, and didn't know the rest of the questions.

"Send it here, don't leave today, eat and cook corn at my uncle." Liu Junhao said as he put the basket in the house.

He was talking to the Mao child, but he heard someone coming from outside the door. He looked up and saw that Liu Laosan walked in with a bamboo basket. There was still half a basket of corn cobs in the bamboo basket.

"Uncle San, just came back from the field? Sit down and have a cup of tea." Liu Junhao hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

"No, I'm here to deliver things." Liu Laosan said as he sent the bamboo basket to the kitchen, poured it into the ground, and Hulala's corn cobs scattered all over the floor.

"Uncle San, you... are you giving it to me?" Not only Liu Junhao, but even Professor Zhao was stunned.

"What's wrong? Your third uncle won't make some for you. Didn't you just hear that you want to eat corn on the cob? You didn't plant it in the field, so I got some. I'll tell Uncle San that as long as there is something in the field, I'll get it for you."

"Thank you, Uncle San, thank you, Uncle San..." Liu Junhao smiled, but he felt very depressed. He had eaten so much corn on the cob.

The corn cobs are not yet mature and cannot stand the placement at all. They have to pick and eat them now. Even if they have two more mouths, they can't finish eating them. It seems that they can only hold the corn cob at noon.

"Xiaohao, thank you for anything. Every time our naughty child comes to you, you don't say anything. The couple always want to get something for you. In the morning, I didn't hear Ermazi's wife yelling in the village saying that you like to eat corn on the cob, so I thought about it and got some."

Liu Laosan said for a while and then turned around and left, but he left, Ermazi carried a long-worm leather cloth bag into the yard. Looking at the shape of the sticks and sticks in most of the cloth bags, Liu Junhao was shocked and asked, "Uncle Guangxi, you can't give me corn cobs, right?"

"Yes, didn't you say you wanted to eat in the morning? In the morning, I asked my wife to go around the field and pick some big ones and break them. The baskets at home are all occupied, and I packed them with cloth bags for you."

"Mr. Ermazi, you are late. I have already delivered a basket to Uncle Xiaohao. Just now, the third master also gave half a bamboo basket..." Mao Child said quickly.

"Oh, is that?" Ermazi was also stunned, and then said, "How did he know?"

"It's not what my second grandma said, but my mother just listened to her."

"This prodigal woman is a village that has a loud voice and can be shocked by a big deal. She knows that the last time she bought a wild boar." Ermazi said cursingly.

But what surprised them was still behind me. Aunt Wang San also walked to the door with a bamboo basket panting and asked Liu Junhao to help her carry it in. The basket was filled with corn cobs.

Although Aunt San quickly figured out the matter, she didn't take the corn cob back no matter what, saying that it was too tiring to make it. As she spoke, she poured the bamboo basket and left with it with it.

"Uncle Guangxi, you killed me this time. How can you eat so much?" Liu Junhao held his head in pain. It seemed that he would eat corn on the cob tonight.

"Hehe, this is better, let your boy eat enough at one time."

...

Professor Zhao was also in pain and joy in these two meals. He kept holding the corn on the cob for lunch and dinner, and he didn't eat anything else except this. Although the corn on the cob tasted sweet and delicious after being cooked, no matter how good the food is, he would lose his appetite after eating too much.

Of course, he kept praising the countryside as good as it is. Here he felt the harmony and sincerity between neighbors: If you are good to me, I will naturally be nice to you.

These are simply unfeelable in the city. People in the city lack security and are full of suspicion and hostility towards neighborhood interactions. In his words, "You see, everyone in the city holds mobile phones and stores dozens of phone numbers, but none of them belong to neighbors."
