Shanwa Small Rich Farmers

  Wen Xu held Zhuo Yiqing in one hand, and carried a basket in the other, followed by Dong Liang, who had just left the gate, and was just about to turn around to close the door, when he heard Mr. Chi's voice behind him.

   "Wen Xu, Xiao Zhuo, where are you two going?"

  Zhuo Yiqing replied with a smile: "Master Chi, we two are going to pick reed leaves and cut wormwood, do you want us to bring you some?"

Hearing that the two of them were going to get these two things, Mr. Chi quickly shook his hand: "Go ahead and get them, I don't want them anymore. There have been several groups of people giving these things since morning. My wife and I use them together. It takes several days to take a bath with wormwood, so you can just make your own.”

   "Alright!" Zhuo Yiqing said.

  Old Master Chi asked again: "Wen Xu, are you going to Xiao Zhuo's house for the holidays?"

   "Yeah!" Wen Xu closed the door, turned around and nodded to the old man.

   "If you have time, help me find two books, and go to Mingzhu's foreign language bookstore to see if there are any." Mr. Chi said as he took out a folded paper from his pocket, and handed it to Wen Nu.

  Wen Xu took it and looked at it. There were five or six books, with English titles on the top and Chinese translations on the bottom, and the author, etc. After a glance at Wen Xu, he put the note in his pocket.

   "Okay, I will help you find it. Is there anything else? If there is nothing, we will go get something. We have to go to Mingzhu in the afternoon." Wen Xu pointed at the coquettish Hong Lu Xun at her door.

   "It's okay! Hurry up and get busy" Mr. Chi waved his hand.

The two of them were about to go to the car, when Teacher Ma came out in a hurry, stood at the door of his house and shouted to Mr. Chi: "Old man, didn't you say you want to put on airs, follow Wen Xu to cut some reeds Let’s save you from having to go to other people’s houses to chop green bamboos!”

  Hearing what Mr. Ma said, Mr. Chi slapped his forehead: "Oh, look, I forgot about this. Is there any room in the car? Take me, old man!"

   "Yes, yes! I'm just waiting for you, an old customer." Warmly smiled and waved to the old man.

   Teacher Ma watched the three of them leave, and opened his mouth again: "Old man, take a hatchet, and use your head to chop off reeds with your empty hands?"

  Wen Xu smiled and shouted to Teacher Ma: "Mr. Ma, no need, I have a hatchet here."

  Old Master Chi also pointed his finger at Wen Xu and said loudly with a smile: "Worrying about such things as Wen Xu? His house is a tool store!"

Hearing what the two said, Mrs. Ma turned his head and wanted to go home, but before turning around, he saw Xiao Dongliang running out, chasing Dongliang with his calves, and took two quick steps, crossing the dog The waist dragged Xiao Dongliang back to the yard.

   After getting into the car, Wen Xu directly bypassed the pond at the entrance of the village, waded through the small stream that had just emerged, left the entrance of the village, crossed the bridge, and drove towards Liyu Bay.

  Old Master Chi asked curiously: "Aren't there reeds at the west end of the village? Why cross the bridge?"

Wen Xu said with experience: "The reeds at the west end of the village are relatively small, and the reeds over there have been mowed at least once a year away from the village. The place along the original road into the mountain is far away, and no one has mowed at all. , so the leaves are big and the pole is thick, this is a good reed. It doesn’t matter if we have a car and go further.”

  The role of reeds is not small. Who doesn’t have a few reed curtains in the countryside? Everything you do with a radish depends on this thing. Those with good craftsmanship can directly open the reed poles, and those who weave a basket and a basket are not a problem. Even if it is the whole reed mat, it will take two or three days. For rural areas, reeds can be used almost all over the body.

  Hearing Wen Xu make a point, Mr. Chi nodded his head and stopped talking.

  After passing Liyu Bay, I walked along the original road into the village. After a while, I met a group of leather children in the village, each carrying a cage and carrying a pole, and more than a dozen black seedlings.

   Beep!

  Wen Xu honked the horn, stopped the car and asked these brats, "What are you doing?"

   "Fishing!"

  Maodan, who walked last, was holding his younger sister Mao Ya with one hand, and a bamboo cage in the other. It is estimated that many people have never seen what is called a bamboo cage. They think it is made of bamboo, but it is not. For fish. When fishing, throw it into the river and fill it with fish, and it can be used as a net bag.

  Wen Xu said: "I know you are going fishing, what's wrong, the village can't stay with you, so come here to fish?"

  Da Leizi, who was walking in front, turned around at this time, walked to Wen Xu's car, looked up at Wen Xu and said, "Uncle, where are you going?"

   "I have to go further!"

   "Then you take us with you!"

   "What are you doing fishing so far?" Wen Wen asked curiously.

Dalin said at this time: "Monkeys are not allowed to fish in the ponds in the village. As long as we have fish, the monkeys will reach out for them. Yesterday I fished all morning without farts, and the monkeys took them away and threw them back into the river. We really have no other choice, so let’s go fishing in a place where there are no monkeys with Brother Dalei!”

After finishing speaking, the kid took out what looked like a handkerchief from his pocket, covered his nose, and blew his nose, folded the handkerchief like this after blowing it, and put it back into his pocket inner.

   "There are no monkeys here, so you can fish here!"

Wen Xu understands that the monkeys have almost become a bully in the village now, and they will ask you to reach out for anything that is 'wrong' in their opinion, and once they reach out, they will lose twenty or thirty yuan, let alone this amount is for children Even the adults in the village feel heartbroken.

It is precisely because of the 'prosperity' of the monkeys that the village is now clean and tidy, and the phenomenon of uncivilization has almost disappeared. I used to leave the village and occasionally spit or something, but once a good habit is formed It became natural, and now Dalinzi knows how to blow his nose with a handkerchief, so he is moving toward civilization.

  Da Lei rolled his eyes and said, "There are not many fish here!"

  Mr. Chi poked his head out of the car window at this time, looked at Da Lei and the gang of monkeys with a smile and said, "If you want to take a car, just say you want to take a car, and what detours do you have with your uncle! Hurry up and come up."

  Wen Xu understood after hearing this, smiled and said to Da Lei and the group of children: "There are so many eyes!"

   While speaking, he opened the compartment.

There was no need for Wen Nu to get out of the car, the group of children immediately ran towards the rear compartment, within two minutes, a dozen or so children all climbed into the car, the entire second row of the car had the original small chairs in the rear compartment, plus the trunk Sitting on the ground is full of little brains.

"Are you seated yet?" Wen Xu got out of the car, went to the back compartment and took a look, there were a few small bamboo poles stuck behind and couldn't close the car door at all, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me all the bamboo poles in your hand, and sit in the car." Li still has this thing in his hand!"

   "Uncle, the hook and thread I just sat on cost more than ten yuan." Gou Shanzi is very precious. He has spent a lot of money on the new "fishing rod" and refuses to let it go!

   "If you don't let go, you will run on the ground!"

  Wen Xu glared at him, and then reluctantly let go of this kid. After collecting five or six poles, tied them with a small rope, Wen Nu tied all the small fishing poles to the luggage rack at the bottom of the car, then returned to the car, and drove the car to the destination.

  With these children, the journey will be much more lively. From time to time, there is a sound from the back of the car, you squeezed me, if you go there, all the children get together, so give them a boat, these brats will have to squeeze together , let alone a car.

  Driving to the end of the road, Wen Xu stopped the car, looked at the flooded road ahead, and was a little dazed: "This side is flooded?"

After this period of rain, the river surged. Even now that the rain has stopped, several rivers flowing out of the mountains have not subsided in the slightest. Wen Xu feels that it is impossible for the river to return to its original state. The water resources in Wenjia Village have been enriched once again.

At this moment, Da Lei jumped out of the car like a little adult: "Uncle, this side has been flooded for a long time, don't look at the road ahead, it seems that the road has risen again, and the water is deeper, the third uncle tried it last time Not too far."

  The little thing stretched out his hand while talking.

Mr. Chi also got out of the car, glanced at the reeds by the river and said, "Why don't we stay here, it's all reeds, I think this side is also good, it's thick enough, it's just a loofah stand." .

  Da Lei heard that Mr. Chi was building a frame, turned his head curiously, looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa Chi, why don't you use bamboo for building a frame in your house? Why use reeds?"

   "Your grandpa Chi is not as thick-skinned as you. The bamboo belongs to others, so I'm sorry to bother others," Wen Wen said.

  Da Linzi also jumped out of the car at this time, and opened his mouth and said: "There are wild bamboos over there, and there are no one. Grandpa Chi will cut them!"

  Old Master Chi heard this and asked, "Which side?"

A group of children stretched out their hands together, pointed to the hillside and said, although the hillside here is steep, it is still possible to go up, and you can also see the trails where people walk, but there are too few people walking. It was covered by the growing shrubs. There is no bamboo forest on the road, so it is estimated that you will get the top of the mountain.

  Old Master Chi looked at the mountain road, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's chop some reeds!"

   "Grandpa Chi, you want you to say something!" Da Lei patted his chest and said, "We'll cut it for you!"

  Mr. Chi immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it! Weizi is good, there is nothing heavy anyway, and the grandfather has planted it in the back of his house, and he will be able to use bamboo next year."

The children can go, but the old man dare not let these skinny children have to cut bamboo for him on such a steep **** for his own business. It is one thing for a child to play by himself, but another thing to do things for himself. What a dangerous old man felt that he couldn't bear this responsibility.

  Wen Xu also understood what the old man meant, and he couldn't make it anyway, so he patted on the car door, and said to Zhuo Yiqing and the children who continued to ride in the car: "Get down, you've reached the ground, there is no way ahead!"

  Hearing that they had reached the place, a group of brats ran down from the car like ducklings coming out of their nests. After getting out of the car one by one, they began to ask Wen Xu for poles.

After taking down the pole on the roof of the car, the gang of brats dispersed and went to find something to go fishing. Mr. Wen Wen and Mr. Chi each took a firewood knife from the car and prepared to go down to the river. Dike to cut reeds.

  Wen Nu took the lead and walked carefully along the **** to the river, stirring the small shrubs and wormwood in front with the hatchet in his hand as he walked.

   "Why are you mowing grass when you have nothing to do?" Zhuo Yiqing stood on the road, watching Wen Xu mowing grass all the way down and asked.

  Wen Xu didn't even look back: "Have you ever heard of an idiom? Throwing grass to startle the snakes, I fight grass here to prevent snakes in the grass. I step on it and get bitten by snakes in vain!"

   "There are still snakes here?" Zhuo Yiqing asked.

   "How fresh!" After Wen Xu finished speaking, she wanted to scare Zhuo Yiqing: "Be careful, follow me closely, don't run into the river without thinking about your head when you are scared by a snake!"

  Zhuo Yiqing supported the curb with one hand, and one foot was already on the slope: "You are wrong, I am only afraid of leeches and some disgusting things, I am not afraid of snakes now!"

  While talking, he walked down the place where Wen Nu came down.

   Arriving at the water's edge, Wen Wen and Mr. Chi started to chop the reeds, especially the thick ones, and moved them to a different place after cutting a few. In a short while, the two of them chopped down about twenty reeds.

Zhuo Yiqing is now in charge of carrying the chopped reeds to the side of the road. From time to time, Wen Nuan will also help out. The three of them cooperated pretty well, and they cut enough reeds in less than 20 minutes. Reed.

  After cutting the reeds, the three of them returned to the road. Wen Xu changed the hatchet into a glove and started to beat the reed leaves.

"Be careful, don't pick any leaves, take a good look, don't pick all the worms on the leaves, and then wrap them in rice dumplings and eat them." Wen Xu looked at Zhuo Yiqing who was on the opposite side and didn't even check the leaves. Pulling directly to the side, he immediately said aloud.

   Zhuo Yiqing blinked her eyes and asked, "Are there still insects eating reed leaves?"

"How fresh!" Wen Xu casually picked up a leaf by her feet. The leaf had already been half-rolled by insects, and the largest and widest part of the leaf was already covered with white silk. Bugs with black flesh.

   "Hey, it's disgusting!" Zhuo Yiqing looked at the things in Wen Xu's hands, and said immediately with a curled lip.

  Everyone was pulling the leaves, when they heard a child's surprise cry from not far away: "Come on, come on!"

  Suddenly, Wen Xu's attention was attracted. Hearing the cheering voice of the bear boy, the three of Wen Xu put down their work and walked quickly towards the direction of the sound.

   When Wen Xu ran over, he saw a group of children surrounded by a reed pond, jumping and shouting loudly!

The three of them, Mr. Chi and Zhuo Yiqing, carefully slid from the road to the water, and when they got behind the children, let alone Mr. Chi and Zhuo Yiqing, even Wen Xu opened his eyes wide, looking at him in disbelief see something.

  A huge old turtle, also known as soft-shelled turtle, is lying on the edge of the reeds and trying to dive into the river, but it is surrounded by these brats with poles in their hands.
