Groups of dragonflies flew close to the ground, or turned to the pond, and occasionally touched the water surface, and when the pond was wagging round and round, it circumnavigated a lotus leaf lightly, flying without whereabouts.
The dry sandy ground exudes heat, and I feel a trance when I look at it. The sound of knowing is buzzing non-stop. The leaves with a layer of soil curled slightly, and some insects living on it were afraid of heat and vomited countless. The foam envelops the body.
The old yellow dog ran into the basin with his tongue and licked hard, then hid under the big locust tree, lying in the short shadow, with his paws stretched forward, his head resting on it, his ears hanging down. On both sides, squinted his eyes, and occasionally looked at the chickens dangling past in front of him.
The chubby domestic cat jumped to the window and shrank himself into a ball. The little swallow went out with his parents for food, eating dragonflies and insects eaten by dragonflies, even when the door opened.
The old scalper stood steadily in the circle, staring blankly at the surroundings, as if reminiscing about the way he had walked, only his tail kept flicking, driving away mosquitoes and flies that wanted to come over and take advantage of it.
With the bell of "Ding Lingling" ringing, when the little children who had read the book for an hour and a half arrived at the break between classes, there was still an hour and a half before lunch, but the children were already sitting in their seats waiting for them. After a while, someone brought them food.
A small bowl of goat's milk exudes the taste of a meal. There are two cabbage buns on the plate, plus a fried browned poached egg. This is their lunch. Originally, they had to do exercises, but they found out later. They helped with work at home, playing in the mountains, swimming in the water, and that was eliminated.
Before the meal, the Master said, "One meal, one meal, when thinking about hard-won."
The little baby agreed in unison to study hard in the future and thanked the master, and then started to eat. The master nodded with a smile beside him, read a book in his hand, and occasionally drank the rock candy mung bean soup provided by the master. Relieve the heat.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were lying in the swimming pool of the Zhang’s yard, with a lotus leaf on their faces. Pomegranate, who had finished her work, found a small bench, sat aside and guarded, holding a book in her hand, and occasionally making a call. Yawn, she has been thinking about growing mushrooms these days, exhausted, but not making any progress.
"Xiaobao, do you think my family can get some rewards this time? For example, just like yours, you can get some food or something to relax and relax."
Wang Juan’s voice came from under a lotus leaf. After waiting for a few seconds, Zhang Xiaobao didn’t respond. He reached out and touched him. Zhang Xiaobao’s body immediately sank into the water, seeing that the water was about to enter his mouth. He moved quickly, lay down again, and fell asleep.
Wang Juan had to repeat the words again.
"Oh, you ask this? It should be possible. After all, those grains and poultry are in the name of King Zhang's family. After paying so much, there is always some return. The court can't chill the hearts of the people.
I had a dream just now. I dreamed that the six ponds on our side are all connected together. There are several small bridges on the Zhuangzi. Some people are shaking the boat in the water, humming the melody, and picking lotus seeds in each pond. It is clear. There are many small fishes swimming and playing in the water. "
While talking, Zhang Xiaobao moved his two calves gently, and he reached the shore. He pulled a wooden boat placed in the shade into the water, and pushed him to swim towards Wang Juan. There were snacks and juice on the boat, fearing that it would ruin his stomach. , Did not dare to ice it.
Wang Juan drank a sip of fruit juice and slapped his mouth. "Then the waterway should be designed well. It should be high and low. It is best to directly connect the small river in front of the door to the pond. The water is in order, starting from the first pond, and then to the second. The six ponds ended and just flowed into the big river.
Remember to pull the net, otherwise the fish will run away. Let’s also come to a curvy stream, build a wooden corridor along the small rivers, plant some trees on the open space on both sides, look into the picture from a distance, and look for the quiet nearby, as long as If you don’t occupy fertile land, no one will care. Even in winter, you can cook wine and enjoy the snow. "
"Yes, you can find flowers and ask willows in summer." Zhang Xiaobao echoed.
"You go down for me." Wang Juan reached out and pressed Zhang Xiaobao down.
…
At noon, the sky was getting hotter and hotter. Some people who were idle and had nothing to do spontaneously set up stalls on the small bridge. Today’s new pricing did not come out. Everything came as last night. No one dared to break this rule. , Otherwise you will be kicked out.
Ergou ate something in a hurry, and was about to be busy again, check which stall sells the goods to fill it up, check whether the meat is fresh, and check whether the food at the food stall is broken, and whether it was washed when they made it. Wash your hands and collect the money for renting the house yesterday. After all, they haven't sold anything for them today.
At the same time, tell a few people who set up the stall that there were too many dirty things left uncleaned when they left last night, and ask them to pay attention today and talk to familiar people about the housework, whose children will leave, which one The pig stopped eating, went to the tea shop and drank a bowl of tea, leaving a small packet of salt in the owner's order, and counting the tea money.
There were more people eating in the Shuiyunjian restaurant. Today, Li Cheng searched for a circle of the host’s family to no avail. He fetched Rubik’s Cube. He also went to eat here at noon. He went to the second floor and ordered a few dishes at random. Serve the iced wine and let the buddy speak with him.
Naturally, the man didn't dare to refuse. He stood aside, and he wanted to help add wine, and he muttered silently in his heart, what he could say and what he could not say.
"Man, I'm here to ask you, is home local?" Li Cheng took a sip of his wine, had another bite of food, put down his chopsticks and turned to ask him.
"In reply to you, it is a local. The small family is on the Zhuangzi. Even the small one is three generations." The man said respectfully, while filling Li Cheng's glass again and picking two yuan. Put ice in.
"En, then do you know what your master is busy doing all day? Why can't I meet anyone?" Li Cheng asked again.
The man shook his head blankly, "Little one doesn't know, how can the master tell the little one when doing things? Maybe something big? You might as well be more diligent."
"Then do you know what's going on these days?"
"Big things? Yes, the younger ones really know some. The host family is good. I heard that there is a severe drought and there is also a locust plague. It’s unlucky, you don’t know. The chickens on our village are different from other places. They started eating grasshoppers when they were young. Remember, there is a chicken called Lao Hei. Where does the grasshopper hide..."
"Okay, I see, Lao Hei is a good chicken, let's not talk about it, is there any other major issues?" Li Cheng was satisfied at the beginning, and when he listened, he noticed something was wrong, so he interrupted the man quickly.
The dude stopped intently, swallowed two mouthfuls, and when someone asked him, he said, "What other big things? Yes, the old sow from the'Little Pigman' family on our Zhuangzi has given birth to cubs. How many do you guess? Twelve, those guys look scary. We used to know that pigs are not ordinary and can climb trees. That guy..."
"Stop, don't make up your mind. Whose pigs can climb the tree? Is there any other important thing?" Li Cheng wondered whether this guy was clever or lacking in calculations.
"Oh, the pig can really climb the tree. The wind is strong, the tree was blown crooked, and it went up, say something else. I heard that a wharf was built on the Xiaoluoshui River in Sanshui County. That guy, that place It’s called a big one. The mountains have been dug up. I heard people say that I saw a big snake while digging. That guy, two feet long and no one dared to catch it. He just ran away on the sand. …"
"Needless to say about that guy, I'll ask you again, how is your life in your family?" Li Cheng finally figured it out this time. The man is not stupid, not stupid at all. Others who say it also know, and don't miss a word of what shouldn't be known.
The guy still looked respectful, helping to move the dishes closer to Li Cheng, and replied: "It's okay, my family is pretty good today. I raised chickens and was taken to the car to eat grasshoppers. , I also caught four piglets, which were old during the Chinese New Year. Kill one of them and leave them to eat at home. Sell the three pigs to get some spare money."
"Hey... In my opinion, your family's life is not very good. The pigs can't be sold for a lot of money. People will sell pigs during the New Year. It might be better to find a new owner." Li Cheng admired. This guy is smart and his mouth is still strict.
The guy shook his head, "If you ask me back, we don't need to sell the pigs. The owner will set the price together and negotiate with other merchants, kill them first, and sell them at different prices according to different places. The same goes for chickens, ducks and geese."
"You are not afraid that the master will deceive you and deduct part of it?" It was the first time that Li Cheng heard that the master helped the dealer to negotiate sales, and now he thought it was the master who wanted to take advantage of it.
"The deduction will be deducted, and the owner will have a good year." The dude returned indifferently.
This time, Li Cheng was even more surprised. Are the dealers of both of them stupid? Let the master don’t care if you buckle things, okay, you can’t find such an honest banker elsewhere. Wouldn’t it be better to get all of them to the banker over there willingly? So began to buy it.
"You know that there is a new Zhuangzi? That Zhuangzi’s main house is worse than your current main house. The government has to give three points. It is better for you to greet people close to you and go there together. When you move there, you will build a house for you, and you will pay a little house money a year, and the house will be yours for a few years.
When you want to raise chickens, you can raise chickens, and you can catch pigs if you want to catch pigs. In the New Year, I can reward you with a few feet of cloth and go back to make new clothes. Um, how about it? No such master can be found. "
The man almost didn't laugh when he heard this. It seems that the people from Zhuangzi didn't inquire carefully about the things here. Can it be compared with the tailor-made Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang's family? Could it be better than the master’s wife to come to the door in person? Raise chickens? Where can I buy so many chickens
