Hello 1983

  Chapter 190 Yan Returns

   "Sister, hurry up and send me two tea eggs!"

  The fourth child was in the middle of the line, jumping up and down anxiously. After working all morning, he was really hungry, especially after seeing other children eating and mouthing vigorously.

  Liu Jinfeng also held back a smile: "Fourth and fifth, yours are in the house, I left them all for you."

  The fourth child shook his antenna braid vigorously: "No, this is what I deserve for my hard work!"

   What you said makes sense. Liu Qingshan also thinks that the spirit of the fourth child is worth encouraging. If you work hard, you should be rewarded, so you also help share the tea eggs.

   They were all divided up very quickly, and the fastest ones were all eaten. As for the remaining one, I must be reluctant to eat it.

  When the children were all gone, Liu Jinfeng also fished out a tea egg from the pot. After working for so long, she hasn't tasted it yet.

   After taking a bite of the elastic egg white, Liu Jinfeng's eyes immediately narrowed.

  I only feel the fragrance of tea leaves in my mouth, as well as the fragrance mixed with other seasonings, which is really no worse than meat.

  When Liu Qingshan went out in the morning, he put the tea eggs in the pot and asked his elder sister to help take care of them.

  In fact, it is to break the egg shells with the back of a spoon, and then add some firewood to the stove pit every now and then.

   Unexpectedly, the tea eggs cooked in this way taste so good.

   "It's delicious. If boiled tea eggs are sold, they will definitely be popular."

   After Liu Jinfeng ate a tea egg, he began to praise his younger brother.

   "That is, if you sell tea eggs near the station in the city, you may be able to sell a million yuan household."

  Liu Qingshan remembers a popular saying later: Those who make atomic bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs.

   At a certain stage, this sentence can really reflect the current social situation at that time.

  The fourth child ate two tea eggs in one go, and was still a little bit unsatisfied.

   While thinking about whether to get another one, Shan Xing suddenly cheered:

   "Ah, our little swallow is back!"

  After hearing what she said, everyone noticed that there was a pair of swallows on the clothesline drawn by wire.

  They are combing their feathers with their small beaks, and they don't know when they flew back.

  Liu Qingshan touched Shanxing's watermelon head: "Our Shanxing is the most careful."

   Kuading Shan Xing was a little embarrassed, and the fourth child also looked up at his little head carefully, looked at it, and also cheered:

   "Wow, another pair of swallows have come to build a nest under the eaves of our house!"

  Her voice called out both grandma and Lin Zhi, who stood in the yard smiling.

  According to the local village saying: Swallows are auspicious birds, and they don’t all build their nests under the eaves of every family, but they are selected from harmonious and happy families.

  So, it is considered a good omen for anyone who has a nest of swallows.

  Even if there are cats at home, they have trained their cats to be honest, and dare not harm the swallows.

  The little doll in the family was also warned by the adults early on not to hurt the swallows, or poke the bird's nest and blind the eyes.

  Because of this, swallows can live in harmony with humans.

   At this time, Yang Hongying also finished washing, came to this yard from her grandfather's house, and was fascinated by the sight of swallows building their nests.

  I saw two swallows flying around with a small mud ball in their mouths, and a tiny straw stick wrapped in the mud ball.

  Don't look at this little grass stick, it can increase the pulling force of the bird's nest and make it stronger and more durable.

  When people are plastering mud walls, they always mix wheat fish roe or broken grass into the mud, which is probably learned from swallows.

  The little mud **** are stuck to the wall by the little swallows, and slowly form a small bowl-shaped bird's nest, and then they can have children in it.

  This bird's nest is their home.

   "Little Swallow is working hard."

   Little Lao Si muttered.

   "The home they built by themselves must be very warm."

  Yang Hongying seemed to express her feelings.

  Liu Jinfeng poked Gao Wenxue beside him: "We should build a house too."

  Gao Xuexue took Xiaohuo out to bask in the sun, and nodded vigorously after hearing what his wife said.

  Liu Qingshan also chanted softly in his mouth: "Swallows are flying, sons are returning..."

  Yang Hongying was taken aback when she heard this, this is a sentence in the Book of Songs, unexpectedly Sanfeng understands this.

   "It's not that you look down on people. The reason why swallows are loved by people is that in ancient times, people regarded them as their own married daughters."

  Liu Qingshan saw the meaning in the eyes of the old sister, so he was ready to talk about it:

  "Swallows come in spring, just like a married daughter returning to her natal family. Think about it, your own daughter must be treated well."

"So this is ah."

  The fourth youngest slapped her hands, and then looked at the elder sister Liu Jinfeng: "Hey, elder sister, why are you still living at home after you get married?"

  You little devil, Liu Jinfeng poked her forehead lightly with a smile.

  Liu Qingshan also smiled at Yang Hongying: "Old sister, when you get married in the future, when you go home again, we will definitely treat you well."

   "Sanfeng, your ears are itchy, right?"

  Yang Hongying's pretty face flushed slightly, and she made a gesture to come over and pinch Liu Qingshan's ear.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hands again and again: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, don't scare the little swallow, the little swallow will take a look, this family is not good, they are fighting all day long, let's go to someone else's house to build a nest."

  Although she knew that he was grinning, Yang Hongying stopped and continued to watch the swallows build their nests.

   And the fourth little one had a sudden thought: "These two little swallows in the new nest, are they the children born to the big swallow last year?"

   Not to mention, there is a high probability that one of them is true.

   I have to say that children's thinking is sometimes so strange.

  The little fourth brother who was praised also beamed: "This swallow, just like our family, has grandparents. In the future, little swallows will be hatched, just like Xiao Huo, a harmonious and loving family, hehe."

  Everyone listened, and there was a smile on their faces. Isn't this what each of them hoped for?

  During lunch, each person tasted one of the remaining tea eggs, and everyone clamored that it was delicious.

  Mother Lin Zhi said with a smile: "When it's May Festival, we will cook tea eggs."

  In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan led the children to continue picking morels.

  The ones picked in the morning have been laid out in the yard to dry, and old people like the kidnapper's grandpa and third grandma are standing by the side.

  The sun is shining and the spring breeze is blowing. In this natural state, the food that is dried in the sun is definitely better than those that are dried by machines.

  Because after being bathed in the sun, the dried vegetables have souls.

  This is really not nonsense. Take bracken as an example, there is definitely a big difference between drying in the sun and drying on the kang.

  The dried bracken, after soaking in water, still tastes fresh and tender; the dried bracken on the kang head tastes more woody.

  Some things are just so magical.

  The picking team finished work early, and when they returned to the village, a few kids asked, "Brother Qingshan, is there any reward?"

  Liu Qingshan smiled and rubbed their heads: "Wait until next Sunday."

  The children cheered and then dispersed.

  For this kind of reward, Liu Qingshan decided to form a rule: as long as the children participate in labor, whether it is planting or collecting trees, they will be given a small reward.

   Isn't it just tea eggs? Eggs will definitely be the most indispensable thing in the future.

  When Liu Qingshan and the others returned home, they heard chattering from under the eaves, creating a commotion.

  The little old man had sharp eyes and shouted loudly: "The swallow is fighting with the old house thief!"

  The thief from his hometown is a sparrow.

  Because sparrows like to nest in the thatch grass at the top of Fangshan Mountain, and fly away surreptitiously when they see people, they are called "hometown thieves".

   How did you fight so well?

  Liu Qingshan is unbiased, they are all birds, they can't be discriminated against because of the bad reputation of their hometown thieves.

  Shan Xing usually pays attention, pointing to the bird's nest under the eaves and saying:

  “During winter, I saw sparrows living in bird’s nests.”

  It turned out to be the case, and everyone quickly figured it out: the thieves from their hometown couldn’t build their own nests, and when the swallows flew away in winter, they occupied the bird’s nest.

   Now that the swallow is back, it is estimated that the thieves from the hometown still want to continue to occupy the bird's nest, but the little swallow was angered, and the war broke out.

  This war can be called "Homeland Defense War".

  Including Liu Qingshan, they immediately stood on the side of Yanzi.

  Originally, it was a house built with mud and mud, telling you to live in vain for the winter, and it would be interesting if you didn’t charge your rent.

  The fourth and fifth children even shouted to cheer for the little swallow.

  Actually, the Yanzi side has already gained the upper hand, driving the two old thieves out of the water.

  The reason is very simple, there are so many swallows.

  They are a kind of very united birds, not only the four swallows in Liu Qingshan's house, but also a dozen or so swallows nearby, all engaged in battle.

  Liu Qingshan saw it with his own eyes one year ago, a bird hawk flew to the village to pet chicks.

   It happened to be the breeding season for swallows, and as a result, the swallows in the whole village flew into the air, as many as one or two hundred swallows, chasing all the hawks away.

   Eagles can’t do it, and the thieves from the old house are even more useless. Being chased and pecked by swallows, one of them panicked and flew into the house through the open door.

   Then I wanted to fly out, flapped my wings, and bumped against the glass.

  Liu Qingshan felt that the thief in his hometown was also a pity, so he grabbed it in his hand and released it outside.

  The old thief didn't know what to do, so he pecked hard at Liu Qingshan's hand with his small mouth.

   "You have no conscience, believe it or not, throw you into the stove and roast you."

  If Liu Qingshan was really the original middle-aged boy, he would definitely do this. In his memory, in winter, he often played house sparrows with Datou and Erbiaozi.

  It’s cold here in winter, and the thieves in my hometown are all on top of the purlins, so it’s leeward and warm.

  At night, I took a flashlight and saw that the house sparrow was blindfolded, so I shrank my head back and didn't know how to run away.

   At this time, he climbed up the wooden ladder, covered his hands, and captured the old thief alive.

   After falling to death, it was thrown under the stove or in the stove pit to roast until it was mushy. A small house sparrow was eaten by three friends.

  At that time, meat could not be eaten a few times throughout the year, so cooking a house sparrow would satisfy my hunger.

  But the current Liu Qingshan will definitely not do this kind of thing again, just keep it as a memory and keep it in memory.

   A battle to defend the homeland ended with the victory of the swallow, and the two old thieves didn't know where they flew.

   It is estimated that this time it left a complete psychological shadow. Anyone who sees the tail of the scissors in the future will have to fly around.
