Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 79 Comparison
At this time, many grasshoppers had grown as long as a thumb, and many people would be startled when they walked on the grass.

Liu Junhao was in the front, and Xiao Haoyu followed behind with a wine box, and he counted while catching.After a while, the two caught more than 50 of them, and then happily returned to Professor Zhao's house.

Sure enough, when the little guy took a grasshopper and put it in the palm of his hand, the turtledove stretched out its head and unceremoniously pecked at it, and directly fed it to its own child.

After feeding several times in a row, the old turtledove didn't peck Xiao Haoyu when he got closer to the bird's nest, and let him stuff the grasshopper in his hand into the little turtledove's mouth.

Xiao Haoyu was afraid that such big grasshoppers would choke after eating them in one bite, so he carefully broke them in half to feed them.

Finally, the little guy got excited and asked Zhao Weidong to take a few photos of him feeding the turtledove, and he even put the old turtledove on his shoulder.Probably because of the short mouth of the cannibal, the old turtledove was too embarrassed to work hard, and flapped its wings a few times to pose for the camera.

After eating, they went to Liu Junhao's yard to play together. At this time, another interesting thing happened, that is, Xiaopi got a half-dead mouse from nowhere and threw it in front of Xiaohuagou for it to play.

That little flower dog was just at the age of playing, so he was very happy to find such a toy, and kept jumping up and down around the mouse.

The mouse tried to escape several times, but was held down by the puppy. Seeing that it could not escape, it immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead.When the little flower dog got tired of playing and turned to leave, it suddenly rolled on the ground, trying to get into the pile of miscellaneous trees.

But Xiao Pi, who was sleeping beside him, jumped up, had already pinned the mouse under his paws, and captured it again.It wasn't until Xiaohuagou was completely tired of playing that Xiaopi killed the mouse and threw it outside the yard.

"Xiaopi is getting smarter and smarter. If this continues, the cat will lose his job." Even Professor Zhao couldn't help admiring a few times, and then held a teacup to look at the flower pond opened up by Liu Junhao.

"I said that every time you come here, you have to look at the flower seedlings for a long time. What's there to see? Isn't it blooming yet?" Thinking of his own flower seedlings, Liu Junhao felt a little depressed. He thought that the flowers that Professor Zhao specially brought from the city It must be some rare variety, but when the flower seedlings grew up slowly, he realized that there were a few that he was particularly familiar with.

When he saw the tender green sawtooth leaves, he immediately recognized them. Isn't this the henna that children in the countryside often grow.There is another kind that he thinks looks like pepper seedlings no matter how he looks at it, but Professor Zhao later told him that it is pepper seedlings.But its name is five-color pepper, and the pepper it produces is very beautiful.

No matter how beautiful the chili is, it is still chili, so it will never become ginseng, right?Liu Junhao thought it was funny to plant a few chili seedlings on the land he had worked so hard to level.

"I always see that the flowers of your boy are better than those in my yard. Is it because I put less manure on it? I will get some chicken manure and sprinkle it on later." Professor Zhao was still a little unconvinced, and he just I just weeded, loosened the soil, and fertilized the flower seedlings when I had nothing to do, but they didn't grow as strong as those in Liu Junhao's yard, and the leaves didn't look as bright as others'.

"Fertilize, it's only been a few days, you're not afraid to burn those flower seedlings to death," Liu Junhao has also seen it these days, although Professor Zhao is an expert in fruit tree cultivation, but he has a specialization in the field, he The level of flower planting is really not very good.

They were talking in the yard, but Er Mazi came in, holding a large bundle of green sweet potato seedlings in his hand: "Xiaohao, this is the sweet potato seedling you want, see if it is enough, if not, go dig it in my sweet potato pond , I planted more sweet potatoes this year."

Liu Junhao hurried forward to pick up the sweet potato seedlings. When he dug a sweet potato well for Er Mazi's house last autumn, he casually said that he would keep some for himself when the sweet potato seedlings were planted next spring. He also wanted to grow some in the yard. ground.

I didn't expect people to remember it so clearly. If Er Mazi didn't talk about it, he would have forgotten it.

Sweet potatoes can be planted twice a year. Now is the right time to plant spring sweet potatoes. Er Mazi's family dug a sweet potato pond to raise seedlings more than half a month ago, planning to plant two acres of sweet potatoes in their own field.

His plan is quite good, the two acres of sweet potatoes will definitely not be eaten by himself, and when the sweet potatoes grow in summer, they will be sold directly in the farmhouse, and they will definitely be in demand.

Er Mazi didn't sit with him for a long time. After saying a few words, he hurried home to plant sweet potato seedlings. He was not as leisurely as Liu Junhao.

The vegetables planted in autumn in the yard have not been harvested yet, and the garlic is still growing vigorously, showing no signs of withering or turning yellow.Not to mention the two borders of shallots, they are perennial herbaceous plants. I have eaten a few stubbles since last winter, and the leaves are still green and tender.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Junhao decided to use spinach and Shanghai green. They are basically out of season to eat, and they have taken the time to bloom.

So the whole afternoon, he and Professor Zhao were busy cleaning up the vegetable field. Zhao Weidong and his wife were free and brought Xiao Haoyu over to help.

Of course, this little guy is not a stable master at all. He was asked to take Shanghai Qing to feed the grass snails, but he climbed to the circle and caught a few grass snails the size of small eggs, saying that he would go back to raise them.

It is said that after these grass snails have been raised in the circle for more than ten days, they gradually began to grow in size, and it is estimated that they will be ready to eat after a while.

Zhao Weidong saw that he had never done farm work, so he had to grit his teeth and go up with both hands to pull out a spinach.After pulling for more than 20 minutes, I was sweating profusely.

"You'd better just stand by and watch us do it." Professor Zhao shook his head, rolled up his trouser legs, grabbed two spinach plants with both hands, and then lightly lifted them and threw them to the side.He and Liu Junhao scrambled left and right in the vegetable field, throwing spinach sea greens, and quickly piled up two big piles.

However, Professor Zhao only breathed a little after he was busy, which was in stark contrast to Zhao Weidong's image.

When the couple stayed here until after four o'clock, Teacher Wang came to urge them to go back early, because they had to go to work tomorrow.

Although Xiao Haoyu didn't want to leave, he was still dragged into the car by his parents. Of course, there were about a dozen grasshoppers and several big snails in his wine box.

"It seems that our dad made the right decision to retire in the countryside. His health is getting better and better. He was better than you when he was working just now. I asked our mom yesterday, and even she stopped taking medicine for the past two months. "Zhao Weidong's daughter-in-law couldn't help feeling emotional while sitting in the car, "I will also persuade Haoyu's grandparents to live in the countryside for a while."

When I got up in the morning, the weather was fine and the spring was bright, and the two flower magpies were chirping on the poplar branches as usual.

Liu Junhao had just eaten, and Professor Zhao also came over with a teacup.

They are going to spend the whole morning today planting spring vegetables in the open space they sorted out yesterday. Of course, sweet potato seedlings are planted first.

Professor Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he saw those sweet potato seedlings: "The sweet potato seedlings have been kept overnight, not only did they not wilt, but they also look much more energetic than yesterday."

"Well, I was afraid they would wilt before I went to bed yesterday, so I watered them specially." Liu Junhao didn't say the whole thing, the water he watered was the spring water in the stone lock.

After an hour of busy work, they planted all the sweet potato seedlings in their hands.Of course, Liu Junhao didn't plan to plant sweet potatoes in the remaining open space. Instead, he ran into the house to get a few large paper bags, and took this opportunity to plant all the vegetable seeds saved last year.

There are gourds, loofahs, tomatoes, eggplants, etc., and a large piece of each is sprinkled.

There is also a lot of open space in Professor Zhao's courtyard, although the thorns in his nursing courtyard have just grown [-] to [-] centimeters high, and they can't stop the livestock from entering and exiting at all.But it's a pity that there are so many open spaces. The two discussed it and sowed the remaining seeds in his yard again.
