It was not bright yet, so Zhang Lan had already gotten up early. Yesterday, she saw her daughter-in-law-to-be and her two children, especially the two children. Every wrinkle in the corner of Zhang Lan's eyes was full of smiles. Why don't you get up early and prepare to cook something delicious for your wife?
Lijiagang originally belongs to the southern part of Dajiang Province, and rice is the staple food all year round. However, in order to satisfy the appetites of Man Ying and others, Zhang Lan planned to make some pasta and rice porridge to go with it.
Zhang Lan got up early in the morning, chopped some meat fillings, and prepared to make some steamed buns. Although he rarely ate pasta, Zhang Lan was not bad at cooking. After a while, the kitchen was filled with a tempting aroma, and Li Feng yawned and walked out of the room.
, I spent most of the night with a few children yesterday. I was still a little confused. I took out my mobile phone and it was not yet seven o'clock.
"Get up, wash up, and go to Taolin to see if Xiaoying and the others are up?" Zhang Lan turned around and ordered, without putting down the work in his hands. There were white and tender little buns in the steamer, and boiling rice porridge.
On the wooden board, there are some stir-fried side dishes, cooked beef, salted duck eggs, pickled cucumbers and stuffed beans.
"Mom, breakfast was really rich today." After washing up, Li Feng took a small bun and put it into his mouth. The dough was soft, the gravy was tender, and the taste was really good. He wanted to pinch another one, but he didn't know that he hadn't touched the bun yet.
, has been slapped away by the mother. "Go, baby, they haven't eaten yet. You are a father, and you are still acting like a child. Why don't you call Xiaoying to eat." Zhang Lan used bamboo clips.
One by one, they picked up the buns and put them in the bamboo sieve, and the meal was ready.
In the peach forest in the early morning, the little pheasants were chirping and digging for food by the pond. The soil here was moist, crisp and loose, and there were many earthworms. The little guys were looking for food here. When they saw Li Feng coming, a group of little things gathered around the yard.
, It's a pity that Li Feng doesn't have time to feed these little guys right now.
"You guys are awake. My mother has already made breakfast. Let's go and eat. Baby, Mengmeng. Don't eat too many grapes, or you may get diarrhea." In the early morning, several children each held a large bunch of grapes.
, eating happily, Li Feng was speechless, who helped pick this, but turned around to see Manying's cheeks were slightly red, and she still had a bunch of half-eaten grapes in her hand. Needless to say, Li Feng was afraid of Manying yesterday.
I had nothing to do in the evening, so I made a few bunches of grapes and ate them while watching TV.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and go eat. Grandma made big meat buns today, which are delicious." Li Feng was a little embarrassed when he saw Man Ying and stopped mentioning the grapes. During breakfast, Lin Ying and Liu Lan looked at Li Feng with a bit of a look in his eyes.
What, especially when they saw the cute doll-like baby leaning next to Li Feng. The two looked at each other, shook their heads, and muttered in their hearts, it doesn't look like it, how could this person give birth to such a cute little girl.
Li Feng didn't know that the two girls were muttering in their hearts. They were eating the steamed buns handed over to them by the baby. They were so beautiful that their noses were bubbling. The two fathers and daughters were making noises. Zhang Lan rolled her eyes at Li Feng several times before the man smiled. "Haha, everyone,
Let’s eat vegetables.” It was a hot morning, delicious breakfast, and the farmyard was filled with laughter and laughter.
Li Feng originally planned to take Man Ying to the reservoir to have a look after breakfast, but who knew that the sky would be stormy, and soon the sky would be covered with dark clouds, and soon there would be thunder and lightning, and the mountain rain was about to come, and the wind would fill the building. Li Feng's situation
While hurriedly cleaning up the yard, especially the dried fish in the backyard and the big golden cat in a cage. Several people helped cover it with raincloths, and Li Feng moved a big stone weighing forty or fifty kilograms to hold it down, otherwise the mountain wind would
It will blow over in a short while. Li Feng is busy cleaning up the dried fish shelf, and the little golden cat is busy holding the dried fish on the tree. I don’t know if this little thing is watching Li Feng packing the dried fish, or he knows instinctively.
Heavy rain is coming. Many animals have the habit of storing food. However, there are not many animals that know how to pack up food and transport it to places where the rain cannot get it wet. The most famous ones are ants. These little guys are better at weather changes than humans.
Much more sensitive,
You can’t tell how many times there are in the sky, but when you see ants moving, there must be rain. This is an experience that has been passed down by word of mouth for many lifetimes. Li Feng saw the little golden cat jumping up and down, and the most interesting two little squirrels were actually helping.
, seeing Li Feng, Maoqiu squeaked, pointing at Xiao Huang, with his little chest puffed out, as if to say, look at how good I am, do you want to reward me with more walnuts?
There are not many things in the backyard, just a makeshift chicken coop in the corner. The pheasants are too small to fly up to the chicken coop built in the bamboo forest. Behind Li Feng's building, he built a chicken coop haphazardly against the cement retaining wall at the foot of the mountain. The chicken coop
Being close to the cement wall, although he was not afraid of the mountain wind, the rainwater above would pour down along the cement wall. Li Feng could only spread the raincloth smoothly to facilitate the flow of rainwater.
While Li Feng was busy fixing the chicken coop in the back, a scream came from the front. Li Feng was stunned and hurried to the front yard.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Li Feng was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. There were so many frogs and gray clay frogs, densely packed near the pond, and they seemed to keep increasing. "Li Feng, what's going on?
What's going on?" Man Ying grew up in the city. She had only seen frogs on TV. She actually saw them yesterday when a few children were catching lobsters, water snakes, frogs, and little hedgehogs. Man Ying saw a lot of these things.
.
Li Feng deliberately caught a lot of frogs some time ago, hundreds of them, and put them in ditches, ponds, pools, and around the entire peach forest. But compared with what he saw in front of him, they were nothing. The densely packed frogs here, Li Feng roughly
I estimate that there are at least thousands of them.
"I heard people say that during earthquakes, frogs will jump out of ditches, are these?" Liu Lan pointed at the frogs that kept jumping out of ponds and ditches, and said tremblingly. Several people listened to Liu Lan's words, and their faces changed.
The great change occurred not long ago. Although these people had not seen the earthquake with their own eyes, the news reported that there were so many casualties. Nowadays, when people mention earthquakes, death, destruction, and black, they all
There is a turmoil, especially in the city. It was slightly shaken some time ago. In the entire urban area, few people dare to stay at home. They would rather be sucked by vampires than stay at home while holding quilts and mats.
"Haha, it's okay, don't say that. When I was a child, I saw tens of thousands, not tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of frogs gathered together." Li Feng was stunned at first, and saw several people talking more and more outrageous, and he was speechless. This frog
It was just caused by the high humidity and low air pressure. Of course, Li Feng was not sure. The man was close to the pond and saw many crucian carp floating in the water. Needless to say, it was probably caused by the air pressure.
"Really, I heard that before the Wenchuan earthquake, tens of millions of toads gathered." Liu Lan said this, and everyone became more and more panicked. It would not really cause an earthquake. Li Feng was speechless, forget it,
It's useless what you said. Besides, who knows about this matter. Look left and right, there are dense black dots flying in the sky, a group of mosquitoes, followed by countless dragonflies and birds, flying early and low in the sky.
Bao Bao and Meng Meng took a digital camera to take pictures of the dense dragonflies in the sky, frogs and toads gathering on the ground, fish and shrimp floating on the water, birds, dragonflies, mosquitoes in the sky, dark clouds, and the wind getting stronger. Li Feng saw
A few people are still talking about frogs, so stop it quickly.
Li Feng was a little speechless. He had tidied up the rabbit cage, moved everything from the pergola to the bamboo house, and cleaned the ditch. Otherwise, the rain would fill the pond. There are still many carp and crucian carp in his pond.
, especially crucian carp, which I haven’t sold yet.
"Baby, don't run around." Li Feng saw several children running around the peach forest chasing dragonflies, completely ignoring the dazzling lightning flashes across the sky and the dull sounds echoing in the mountains.
The tall mountains in the distance were covered with dense fog, as if moisture had condensed into water.
After a while, big raindrops began to fall, and within a few minutes, there was a heavy downpour, amidst thunder and lightning. Li Feng quickly rushed into the main room. The rain curtain blocked his sight. The sky was dark, as if night had fallen, and the electrical appliances in his home
I didn't dare to open one thing. Only the red candles were lit, with a faint dusk light and dots of spots. Baobao and Mengmeng and several children gathered together to watch the scene of dragonflies dancing all over the sky and frogs lying on the ground. Man Ying and Lin
Ying and Liu Lan were talking about the menacing rain.
Li Feng saw that it would not stop raining outside for a short time. He would be free now and wanted to do something. He had already prepared it a few days ago. He planned to make some gadgets and give them to Mengmeng, Baobao, Qi Qi,
Mengmeng will return to Beijing in two days. I don’t know when she will come back next time.
Li Feng rushed to move a large wooden box out of the small utility room next to it. The tools were complete here, and his parts had been prepared long ago. Now he just installed them. These parts looked very interesting, including a round wooden pulley with a diameter of five or six.
A centimeter log was cut, less than an inch thick, and punched. The center was like a bearing, about 13 centimeters long. The two ends were cylindrical, just for mounting the wheel. The middle part was square, and a hole was punched in the center.
, this is where the pole is inserted.
As soon as Li Feng's strange stuff appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of several children. The children lay on the side and watched curiously as Li Feng put the wheel up. He tried it and found that the left and right sides were the same size and did not shift much when turning.
But here we are ready. The most important thing is the two things on the float that look like sedans. They are two 5 cm square bamboo pieces at the top and bottom, with small holes punched in the four corners and a larger hole in the middle.
"Dad, what is this?" Bao Bao saw Li Feng tie up two bamboo boards with peeled bamboo strips. The bamboo strips were no more than a centimeter long. He passed them through the two bamboo boards and fixed them tightly so that the bamboo strips were not exposed at the bottom.
A section of the upper part is exposed like an ear of wheat, forming a square cage-like shape. A bamboo strip goes through the middle, and the upper and lower parts are exposed to a suitable size. This bamboo strip is loose and can be rotated at will.
"Let's make a float." Li Feng didn't stop in his hands. After a while, another small thing made of bamboo that looked like a sedan was finished. It was surrounded with red paper, and the head exposed by the bamboo strips was cut with five-color
The flags are wrapped. A float runner like a red sedan with colorful flags is ready. It is inserted into the two ends of the main trunk like bearings to block the wheels. A bamboo pole of about 1.5 meters is inserted in the middle. When the car is pushed, the wheels rub against it.
The bottom of the sedan chair, because the bamboo strips in the middle can move, when the cart is pushed, the sedan chair above will rotate, and the colorful chess pieces will rotate, which is very interesting. If the main body of the sedan and the poles are dyed in a nice color, the float will be ready. However,
Li Feng's float was just a test of his craftsmanship, and what he saved was the time spent on getting the details right. However, it was so simple that there were no various patterns or runes painted on it, so a few kids still had to fight over it.
