Is bamboo rat delicious
That's for sure, even Xiaoqian who is afraid of it thinks it tastes better than chicken, let alone the villagers.
But this thing is not easy to grasp, especially in the bamboo forest, it can disappear with a swipe, and it can drill bamboo holes and ground holes, and the speed is even faster.
Unless they are lucky, they happen to be able to plug them in a shallow or single hole like Zhou Lang and the others.
That day, Wu Lang and the others brought back two bamboo rats. The next day, the villagers went to the bamboo forest on the mountain to look for the bamboo rats, but they didn't even see their shadows after searching all morning.
They had no choice but to go down the mountain, and when they saw Liu Liulang playing with his little friends, they called him over to talk and asked how they caught the bamboo rat.
Liu Liulang is only thirteen years old this year, exactly the age of bragging rights, but people don't believe him, he was in a hurry, so he revealed to Man Bao that he had caught a bamboo rat.
The villagers couldn't believe it even more. How old is Manbao? Can she run with her short legs in the mountains
With this question, Liu Liulang told them all about how they went to chase the bamboo rat, how they found Man Bao when they came back, and how Man Bao had a bamboo rat tied to his hand.
At that time, Lao Zhoutou was standing behind the crowd. At the beginning, he listened with great interest to his son bragging, but later he got really serious.
Up to now, not only Zhou Lang and Wu Lang blamed him for leaking, even the old Zhou Tou blamed him for his big mouth.
He felt that if he hadn't let this matter come to light with his big mouth, he wouldn't have punished Manbao to kneel, and beat her with a bamboo stick, then she wouldn't have had evil spirits in her body; he wouldn't have frightened her, then she wouldn't There will be palpitations, and there is no such thing as a fever in the back.
So the old Zhou was so angry that he was asked to follow Zhou Zhoulang to open up wasteland for five days in a row.
No, all the brothers in the Zhou family were implicated, and they all asked Lao Zhou to drive out to open up wasteland for the third son.
Zhou Zhoulang has already decided to open a field, and he started to mow grass, dig trees and pick stones in the field after the winter slack.
Of course, Zhou Dalang and his brothers would carry a hoe to help out when they were free, but they didn't go there often because the family was composting.
Next year, the family will increase the land by 20 mu, and will need a lot more fertilizer, so it is said that it is winter leisure, but there is not a single day that is really idle.
They needed a lot of manure, so at most the brothers took over Zhou Zhoulang's work so that he could go to land reclamation.
But when the old Zhou got angry, he simply refused to let their cats winter. He got up before dawn every day when he recovered.
Even though it was slack in winter, it was more tiring than during the busy farming season.
Not only Zhou Zhoulang and the younger ones, but even Zhou Zhoulang, the beneficiary, felt a bit overwhelmed.
But the old man was in a fit of anger, obviously no one dared to be disobedient.
So, time slipped away, and when they sorted out that piece of wasteland, hoeed it all, and sprinkled manure to nourish the land, the new year was almost here.
Then, Zhou Zhoulang was going to get engaged.
Life is fulfilling, and Man Bao, who has endless things to do every day, was stunned when he heard his mother say that he was going to prepare a bride price for engagement.
She widened her eyes and asked, "Mother, who is my fourth sister-in-law?"
"It's the little lady of the Fang family, you've seen it before, don't you remember?"
Man Bao was stunned, "When did you make the decision, why don't I know?"
Qian Shile, "It's not that you marry a daughter-in-law, why do you have to participate in every step? It's enough for your fourth brother to know."
Man Bao looked at Zhou Zhou Lang, saw his happy face, and asked, "Fourth Brother, so you always knew?"
"I know," Zhou Lang glanced at her and said, "If it wasn't for your illness, we would have been engaged a long time ago, maybe we could have gotten married before the end of the year."
Mrs. Qian glanced at him and said, "You treat your marriage as a play, and you can hold a banquet as soon as you agree? Go, go, don't blame your sister for everything."
But in fact, this matter has something to do with Man Bao.
At that time, the two families saw each other, the Fang family was barely satisfied with the Zhou family, but couldn't bear the fact that the daughter was very satisfied with Zhou Zhoulang, so they didn't refuse the matchmaker.
And Qian Shi was also very satisfied with the other lady, and felt that the girl was generous and courageous, so she made up her mind, so she talked to the matchmaker.
One didn't refuse, and the other was intentional. The matchmaker knew that the matter was likely to be successful, so the two sides ran a little more diligently.
During the two days when Manbao was ill, Qian could not draw his hand, but as soon as Manbao recovered from his illness, Qian took Zhou Zhoulang to Dali Village again.
This time, they went to talk about their marriage openly and aboveboard. The Qian family and the Cheng family officially stated the situation of the two families clearly, which was regarded as a formal agreement.
After that, Zhou Zhoulang can often go to Fang's house to perform.
However, because of the prestige of old Zhou, he seldom spared time to visit Dali Village every two or three days.
Either ask Mrs. Fang for a walk on the road, or go to work at Fang's house.
As a prospective son-in-law to be inspected, going to Yue's family to work is also one of the inspections, which is a customary rule at present.
At least that's how it is in the village.
After the Fang family knew enough about Zhou Zhoulang, the Zhou family would decide whether to marry their daughter to each other.
But those who can get to this point, unless the man's performance is really bad, they can usually do it.
However, during that time, the Zhou brothers all left early and returned late, and Man Bao was obsessed with schoolwork, so he didn't know about these things.
She didn't know that the candy she gave to fourth brother out of guilt was eventually delivered to Miss Fang, and became the sweet snack of future fourth sister-in-law.
After a month of investigation, the Fang family finally agreed to the Zhou family's marriage proposal when the matchmaker came to propose marriage for the second time, and officially confirmed the date.
So next, the Zhou family will prepare the bride price before choosing a date to get married.
However, Mrs. Qian made some calculations, and felt that the probability of getting married a few years ago was not high, and after...
Mrs. Qian thought for a while and said, "No new daughter-in-law is rushed to the door in time for the spring, so I think it's better to wait until the spring planting is over before getting married, and let the young lady rest for a while."
Old Zhou nodded, "Then choose a date in May, when spring is over and the weather is just hot, the new wife will have two months to get used to it."
This matter is naturally decided by the parents, and everyone has no opinion.
Qian's plan was passed on to Fang's family through the matchmaker, and Cheng couldn't help saying to Fang Butcher: "The Zhou family is really a kind family. Although Thursday is a little short, but the in-laws are sensible, and the life of the second girl will be easier in the future. Son."
Butcher Fang nodded, and said with satisfaction: "When the second girl said she was interested in Thursday, I asked someone to inquire about it. None of the three daughter-in-laws in their family rushed in before or after the Chinese New Year. They all came after the autumn harvest. Entering the door, our second girl didn't catch up with the good times, but this day is not too bad."
