Chapter 50 Road Building and Playing

Zhang Qian stayed at home for only one night, and rushed back in a hurry the next afternoon, and didn't even see her blind date arranged by her mother.

Once people have concerns, it is different. When she is at home, she always thinks about Qiuqiu. I wonder if this little guy will not be able to adapt to it for two days. Before she left, she specifically told Liu Junhao to take good care of him and not let Qiuqiu freeze and starve. Seeing Zhang Qian explaining it several times in a row, Liu Junhao was a little doubtful if she regarded this duck as her child?

Isn't it just a duck? As for this, Zhang Qian left, he looked around with Qiuqiu's legs for a long time, but he didn't realize how different it was from his group of ducks.

Since he took over this little guy, it kept chirping. In the end, Liu Junhao couldn't stand it anymore, so he let it go out of the cage and threw it in the yard for it to stroll around.

He remembered this incident when it was almost dark, but after searching in the yard for a long time, he didn't find this little guy. This made Liu Junhao panic. He hurriedly blasted out the hen that had already crawled into the chicken coop, and looked at the group of ducks under his stomach, but did not find Qiuqiu.

What should I do? When she left, she agreed to it well, but she lost Qiuqiu in less than a day. Thinking of Zhang Qian's favor for this little guy, Liu Junhao felt a little nervous. He didn't know how she would get angry at him after she came back.

Just as he was about to look outside the yard, Professor Zhao accidentally looked at the cage and found Qiuqiu lying honestly in the nest. This made Liu Junhao feel relieved and hurriedly closed the cage door.

What happened last night made him scared. Today, it was like taking care of a child. He had never let the little guy leave his sight for more than half a minute, for fear that he would run away without a trace if he was not careful.

After Zhang Qian came back and put her luggage away, she came here to find Qiuqiu. When Liu Junhao saw that the main owner had come, he quickly handed over the "items".

Zhang Qian did not come here empty-handedly. When she came back, she bought a few boxes of mooncakes in the city and gave them two boxes. Although it was not a good thing, it was Mid-Autumn Festival soon, which was a gift for the time being.

Liu Junhao did not refuse pretentiously. In the evening, he deliberately opened a box and shared it with Professor Zhao. Professor Zhao didn't like to eat moon cakes, so he just ate one meaning and stopped eating it.

Although the mooncakes are so well packaged, they taste just that much, and they are very small, with only four in a box.

"Is this thing called a mooncake? It's packaged and the taste is not as good as Zhao Fengzi's house in the town." Liu Junhao and his three swallowed the remaining mooncakes completely into their stomachs. Apart from being a little sweet, they had no other feeling, just like not eating them.

The Zhao Fengzi he mentioned was selling machine-made buns. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, he would make some mooncakes for sale. When they sell, they cost five yuan per pound. Moreover, the mooncakes were very large, with peach kernels, rock candy, melon seed kernels, sesame seeds, etc., which tasted crispy, especially when they were eaten, they would make a crunch when they bite, which was very authentic.

In the autumn harvest season, almost every family is busy and cannot reach the world or the land, but they only have ten days of busy time. After harvesting peanuts, corn, soybeans and other crops, they will release the poles of the crops, and the farmers will start to have their spare time.

At this time, the fields became empty. The air in the mountains was good, there was no dust pollution, and the visibility was very high. Standing on the high slope, everything in the entire valley entered his eyes. Liu Junhao couldn't help but shout a few times, and echoes came from the mountain opposite. After expelling the turbid air in his lungs, he felt an indescribable pleasure. He sat on the stutter grass, then put the book in his hand down his head, and lay on the grass and took a nap.

He was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt his nose itchy. He buckled it with his hand and wanted to turn over and sleep again, but he heard a "hissing" laughter in his ears. When he opened his eyes, he saw the hairy child holding a dog-tail grass in his hand and tugging in front of his nose.

"What are you naughty kids doing? You are neither big nor young? Haven't the teacher taught you to respect your elders?" Liu Junhao reached out and was about to catch him, but the hairy kid slid down his feet but ran away. Zhang Qian was standing there pretty pretty with a large group of children. Seeing that they were holding a lot of wild fruits in their hands, they knew they had just come down from the mountain.

"Are you reading a book or sleeping here? Are you not afraid of colds?" Zhang Qian asked with a smile on her lips.

"It's okay, autumn is not easy to get sleepy. I'm strong and can't catch a cold." Liu Junhao made a quibbling self-trick, stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body and asked, "You guys just came down from the mountain, what did you pick? Let me see... Well, the mountains are red, wild pears, and Yuanjujubes, and this is a hyacinth. Give me two tastes..."

He said that he grabbed a few hickory from a naughty child, removed the bitter skin and put it on the stone and smashed it. Then he put the white nuts into his mouth and tasted it, and it produced saliva in his mouth, which was crispy and fragrant.

In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, walnuts can be picked in July, but walnut trees are generally very tall and the fruits grow on the treetops, so it is difficult to pick them. You can only wait until the walnuts are ripe and fall naturally. However, it depends on luck, because many walnut trees have been patronized by squirrels and monkeys. It seems that their luck is pretty good, and each person has half a bag in his hand.

***

The speaker notified that the meeting was held at 1:00 in the afternoon, and that was only 10:00, and there were still several families who did not come, which made Liu Guangju very angry.

Today, he called people over to build roads. He used a horn to emphasize the time at noon, but there were still many people who were slow to come. If the people were not gathered together, there would be no way to drive them. He had to appoint a few children to call them again.

Over the years, the villagers have been scared by his loudspeaker. Every time they hold a meeting, they either collect money or convey some instructions from the town. Therefore, when they encounter meetings, many people can hide, and they always don’t want to come.

In fact, this time I was a little resentful to Liu Guangju. If he had explained the content of the meeting clearly in the loudspeaker at noon, I was afraid that the people in the village would have gathered together long ago.

After waiting for another seven or eight minutes, finally everyone was all over. Liu Guangju cleared his throat and told the story of the road construction in the village. Before he could finish his words, the people below started to talk about it.

As a member of Liujiagou, Liu Junhao naturally squatted among the villagers. As expected, the villagers had been tossed by that muddy road for many years and agreed with the road construction. What's more, Liu Guangju had said clearly just now that the road construction funds will not be raised this time, but will use the money from the village to rent a land this year to advance payment.

At the end of the discussion, some villagers even said on the spot that if the funds for road construction are still short of funds, they can also consider asking the villagers to spend some of the money. This was also agreed by many people, and it can be seen that everyone has a lot of spare money this year.

Moreover, after this period of experience, many people have seen the benefits of road construction. After this road is repaired, there will probably be more people in the city who come to Liujiagou for fun next year.

This meeting was the most refreshing, and almost all agreed. This made Liu Guangju even more energetic. After a day, he was anxious to call the construction team he contacted Liujiagou.

They were planning to build a gravel road, which was simple to build and save money. Liujiagou only had more than ten miles from the town, and the gravel road was planned in half a day. After calculating the road construction fee, the final cost was less than 100,000 yuan, and there were nearly 10,000 yuan left on the book.

Liu Guangju held another small meeting for the money and said that he wanted to use the remaining money to make the whole village happy.

Perhaps seeing that Liu Guangju finally did something practical for the village, most of the villagers actually supported him after he expressed his ideas. Although many young people suggested changing to movies, they changed their words after being greeted by the old man's cigarette holder.

When it comes to big dramas, the happiest thing is the elderly in the village. Although many families now have TVs, local small stations often play dramas. But those elderly people always feel unsatisfied and say that they can't hear the play.

People are invited to sing operas here to make big operas. There are many straw opera troupes in rural areas, and there are fewer details. Three or five people can hold on to a play, and it makes it lively.

Liujiagou has never been rich these years. I don’t know how many years I haven’t had a show. In many people’s impression, the last time I set up a stage was when I was doing a model show back then.

The news was much faster than people thought. It spread to ten or ten times. In less than three days, almost everyone in the town knew that Liujiagou was about to start a big show.

Many old drama fans, regardless of the difficulty of walking on the mountain road, went to Liujiagou to find out if this matter was true. The elderly people in Liujiagou also smiled and said that this matter was absolutely true, and they were very straight when they said it.
