——
As the sky became darker and darker, a sudden thunderbolt resounded throughout the entire Changqing Village sky.
Raindrops as big as beans began to fall.
The ducks at home also knew that the weather outside had changed, so they ran back early and squatted inside the house.
Zhang An didn't know where these guys would hide when it rained before they settled in his home.
The three Xiaohu brothers were lying at the gate, staring at the rainwater flowing vertically from the eaves.
Not long after, the cement floor in the yard was already flooded with a deep layer of water.
Fortunately, when we built Sanhu's new home, we used bricks to raise the floor.
Otherwise, if it rains so hard, the kennel will definitely be flooded.
The heavy rain fell for more than an hour and then started to subside. Then it was time to call it a day. Zhang An put on a plastic sheet and went out to the yard to take a look.
The water in my fish pond is full and now it is overflowing. Even though many fish are staying at the bottom, some of them still swim out.
When Zhang An came out, he happened to see Li Laifu walking across the door to his yard, holding two big fish that he had just picked up from the ground.
Darling, you just picked up fish and brought it to your own home.
When he saw Zhang An coming, he immediately ran out with the fish in hand.
"Li Laifu, you are very lucky. You picked up such a big fish when you went out. Do you think I am a fool, or do you think I am a fool?"
Zhang An stared at him and smiled meaningfully at him.
This fish must not be able to swim out of the yard, because Zhang An built a threshold at the door when he was building the fence.
Everyone now knows that Zhang An’s house keeps big fish, especially the house diagonally across the door, which usually makes his eyes red.
Maybe he was frightened after being beaten several times by Zhang An before. Hearing Zhang An's words, he turned around and gave Zhang An a hard look, threw the fish into Zhang An's yard, and ran away.
It's not that Zhang An is unreasonable. If the fish was washed out on the road by the water, Zhang An would have nothing to say to the fish you picked up.
But if you came into someone else's yard, what's the difference between this and stealing?
After a while, a burst of cursing came from the yard diagonally across the door.
The voice was quite loud and full of energy. The neighbors heard it and came out one after another to see what the madness of this family was. Of course, more people came out to watch the fun.
Rural people, even if they are eating with a bowl in hand, they will go out to watch the excitement when they hear the excitement.
Mrs. Li Zhang, an old pious woman, was cursing and cursing in her yard, which made Zhang An a little upset.
At that moment, I got up and wanted to go out to meet her, but Wang Fang persuaded me to stop.
"Why are you so familiar with her? People won't say anything about her as an old woman. They will only say that you, a young man, can't do anything. Don't worry about her. God is watching what you do. You have to eat when you are hungry.
It takes a few bowls of rice to feel energetic."
After listening to his mother's advice, the fire in Zhang An's heart also went out.
Just pretending that you didn't hear it, let the old godly woman curse in her courtyard. For half an hour, her voice became hoarse and quieter.
Zhang An had to admire this man's fighting ability.
Although the old woman scolded her at home, none of her words mentioned her by name. This was why Wang Fang persuaded Zhang An.
After a heavy rain, the fish in the pond were a little flustered. Zhang An walked to the edge of the pond to comfort them, and then drained part of the water out of the pond.
The heavy rain comes and goes quickly.
It was still dark just now, but now the clouds have dispersed.
After the rain, the fields were filled with the cries of frogs and frogs everywhere.
At this time, Zhang An actually had the feeling of "I don't know where the dragon is after the rain, and the pond is filled with green grass and thousands of frogs are croaking."
After the front yard was tidied up and the accumulated water was swept away, Zhang An went to the backyard vegetable garden to take a look.
The heavy rain just now was heavy. Although it only lasted for more than an hour, you could tell by the accumulation of water on the ground that the rain was heavy.
Zhang An was a little worried that the corn he planted would be blown to the ground by wind and rain.
When Zhang An opened the door, he found a large turtledove lying under the eaves.
I picked it up and looked at it, and it seemed that it was out of breath. It must have been soaked to death by the heavy rain just now.
Lifting it, which weighed more than a kilogram, Zhang An suddenly beamed. We can add more food tonight.
There are many turtle doves in the village now, but Zhang An doesn't like them very much.
When Zhang An was a child, he loved playing with birds and would often go up mountains and climb trees to dig out bird nests.
After attending elementary school, I learned that swallows are beneficial birds. After receiving positive guidance, Zhang An quite liked swallows.
There are swallows nesting under the eaves of most houses in the village.
However, turtle doves do not build their own nests, but often go to other people's nests to lay eggs.
There were several swallows' nests under the eaves of Zhang An's house. At that time, turtledoves often ran into them to lay eggs.
After the mother swallow hatches her eggs, the little turtle doves, which have not yet grown their feathers, push the unhatched eggs out of the nest, and even the hatched chicks have to be pushed out.
Just when Zhang An got up in the morning to wash his face and go to school, he found several broken bird eggs under the eaves of his house.
After Zhang Jianguo's explanation, Zhang An learned about such a thing. At that time, Zhang An always remembered one word - dove occupying the magpie's nest.
So Zhang An doesn't have a good impression of Turtle Dove.
Of course, as I grew older, my impression of this thing became a little better.
Because it's quite delicious when stewed.
At that time, Zhang Jianguo caught a large turtle dove and brought it back to eat. Zhang An fell in love with the turtle dove after eating it.
I secretly thought that I was ignorant before, how could I hate such delicious food.
I walked to the garden and took a look at the waxy corn I grew. Fortunately, only a small part was blown to the ground by the wind.
The corn now has quite large buds on its back.
Zhang An peeled off the buds lying on the ground. Although they were still relatively tender, they were ready to be cooked and eaten.
Zhang An helped everyone who could be lifted up to stand, and chopped down those who couldn't, so that they could be eaten anyway.
"Dad, look what I picked up. Let's have some extra dinner tonight."
When Zhang An got home, he showed off the big turtle dove in his hand to his father and handed it over to him for him to take care of.
He went into the field with a sickle and chopped down the corn that had fallen down and could no longer be lifted up.
The corn is cooked and eaten at home, and the corn stalks are thrown into the pen to feed Dahei and the three big black pigs.
After a few more days, the other corns can be broken off and fried.
Although Zhang An also likes to eat cooked corn on the cob, he prefers fried corn kernels with green pepper and some minced meat, which is of course the best.
In the city, a plate of fried corn kernels in restaurants doesn't have much, and it's not enough to satisfy your appetite.
At this time, Xiaohu and his brothers quietly went out at some unknown time.
He actually came back with a wet hare in his mouth, which seemed to have been sent away by these brothers.
Several dogs were shaking their fur at home, causing water all over the house.
He was kicked out by Wang Fang.
This rabbit was not too big, probably weighing two or three pounds. Zhang An felt pity for it because it was caught by his own dog.
In line with the principle of a dog paying his debts, Zhang An planned to give it a good life that night, hoping that it would have a good place in its next life.
It happened that my father had just boiled water to deal with the turtle doves, so he took off their clothes together.
In the evening, Wang Fang happened to make a pot of stew with the corn and turtle doves that Zhang An broke back.
Rabbit prepared a portion of spicy rabbit meat and left a whole rabbit leg for Zhang An.
This is a habit that Wang Fang has had since Zhang An was a child. Every time during the Chinese New Year, whether killing chickens or doing other things, she would leave a whole leg for Zhang An.
Zhang An took it out to eat every time, which made the other children in the village cry. They went home to make trouble with their adults, and wanted to eat it themselves.
As a result, I didn't get the chicken legs, so I had a hearty meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.
So at that time, Zhang An was quite annoying to other parents. He ate all he wanted and took it out to provoke his own children.
Due to heavy rain, it was still a bit cool in the evening.
Just drink a bowl of hot soup, soothing and warming your stomach.
At this time, Zhang Tie went to Zhang An's home, holding a plastic bag filled with rice seedlings.
Some are black and some are red.
Usually Zhang An treats his younger brothers and sisters well. No matter what Zhang Tie picks in the mountains, he always leaves some for his elder brother.
"You ran away to play again and haven't come back until now."
Wang Fang brought Zhang Tie a bowl and asked him to eat together.
The little guy was not polite, took the bowl and started eating.
"I went there after the rain stopped. Look, I picked so many dream seeds today."
Zhang An picked it up and found that it was quite a lot, weighing two kilograms.
"Then what will you do if you get beaten when you go home later?"
"I just said I went with Brother An, so my mother wouldn't hit me."
Good guys, you have learned to take cover, and you are looking for yourself.
"That's not okay. You can't lie. If you tell the truth, your mother won't necessarily beat you. Telling lies is not a good habit."
While talking to Zhang Tie, the third aunt had already found the door.
"Third Aunt, come and eat quickly."
Zhang An got up and found a stool.
"Xiao An, hurry up and eat. Our family has already prepared it. I came to see Tie Wazi to go back for dinner."
The third aunt smiled and said to Zhang An, then turned to Zhang Tie, "You kid, the family has already prepared for you to run around and go to your brother's house to eat every day. Is it because the family can't support you or what?"
Zhang Tie was really grateful that he was holding a bowl to eat now, otherwise he would have had to eat fried pork with bamboo shoots again.
In rural areas, no matter how big a crime a child commits, as long as he holds a bowl and eats, adults will not slap him.
But when you finish eating, you will be asking for blessings.
"How much can a child eat? It will be more delicious for our family if he comes."
Although it is said that a middle-aged man is poor, but for Zhang An's family, it doesn't matter that he has to eat alone.
"Look, these clothes are wet. Eat quickly and go home to change. I'll catch a cold later."
Since Zhang Tie was already eating with his bowl, the third aunt did not scold him. After saying hello to Zhang An's family, he went home to eat.
