Chapter 30: Small Interests in the Countryside
Dear readers, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
At around six o'clock in the morning, Li Jiahao got up as usual, and Chen Anbang also got up. The two of them practice Tai Chi together. The elderly usually can't sleep, and it's good to get up and breathe fresh air. I think that I am in the cage of cement steel bars every day and absorb the pollution of car exhaust every day, just like the lyrics sing "Gray sky" and "The stars can no longer be seen in the civilized sky". The green mountains and clear waters in the countryside and the natural oxygen bars in the countryside can't be bought with money.
After practicing for more than an hour, Mr. Chen Anbang was also tired, so he went to see Li Jiahao's baby animals with Li Jiahao. Speaking of Chen Anbang, he used to be a professor in the School of Biology, but now he is retired.
Professor Chen and Li Jiahao walked to Xiaoxiang's residence together and saw that Xiaoxiang was still eating grass. Li Jiahao walked over and patted Xiaoxiang's head. Xiaoxiang rubbed Li Jiahao like he understood, and it seemed like he had met a relative. Li Jiahao touched the little elephant's nose again, and Xiaoxiang rolled Li Jiahao up. Professor Chen was shocked when he saw all this. He didn't expect that Xiaoxiang would be so good by Li Jiahao, and he was more obedient than the animals in the circus. Putting down the little elephant, Li Jiahao said, "I don't have the ability to train Xiaoxiang, but Xiaoxiang is so close to me."
Professor Chen really didn't expect a college student to raise a baby elephant, and he raised it so well. He really envied Li Jiahao's good luck. After seeing the little elephant, Xiaodian and Xiao Tornado rushed out from somewhere, and while biting Li Jiahao's trouser legs, Li Jiahao picked up the two little things when he saw it. The two little things rubbed against Li Jiahao's face. Professor Chen was even more shocked. Li Jiahao could also take these two cute little animals. He is really a magical person. Although he was a professor, he was only a researcher. He had never raised such rare animals. Looking at the intimacy of Li Jiahao and the two little animals, Professor Chen reached out and hugged Xiaodian, but Xiaodian refused to let Professor Chen hug him, which made Professor Chen feel embarrassed.
Li Jiahao patted Xiao Diandian's body and said, "You little thing, will you die if you ask someone to hug you? They don't want you, and it's your blessing if you want you." Xiao Diandian seemed to understand. When Professor Chen hugged him again, Xiao Diandian was willing to let Professor Chen hug him. "You will be happy only if the master insists on scolding you." Professor Chen said teasing Xiao Diandian.
While chatting with Xiaodiandian and Xiao Tornado, the golden turtle slowly crawled over and climbed to Li Jiahao's feet. Xiao Tornado saw a turtle coming to compete with him for his master's favor. He quickly shouted and signaled that the golden turtle would retreat without fighting. But the golden turtle seemed to have not heard of it, slowly crawling on Li Jiahao's shoes. "Ah! This is the first time I have seen such a big golden turtle." Professor Chen is a person who has seen the world, but he also exclaimed such an amazement.
"Haha, this is what I fished in the river in our deep mountains." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
"You kid is really amazing. Today I'm feasting my eyes. Although I have seen many gold turtles, it's the first time I'm so big and so old. Do you sell them? I'll contact the buyer for you." Professor Chen emphasized again.
"Haha, I keep it and play with it. I won't sell it. I'll sell it long ago." Li Jiahao said as he kicked the golden money turtle with his feet. The golden money turtle immediately put his head into the turtle's shell and acted as a turtle with a turtle.
Professor Chen put down the little dot, picked up the golden turtle, looked at it again and again, but he was not willing to put it down for several minutes.
"Jiahao, the eels I ate last night were really delicious, hundreds of times better than what I bought at the vegetable market. Where did you catch them?" Professor Chen remembered the eels I ate last night.
"Oh, then I'll take you to see it. It's in the pond behind my house. It's all wild and delicious." Li Jiahao said and took Professor Chen to the edge of the pond behind the house.
Looking around, the pond was filled with secrets of big fish and small fish. "Look, that's a swordfish. What a big one." Professor Chen shouted, as if he was as happy as finding a new continent.
"Yes, I haven't seen it before. It's really a noble man who came and the fish came out to welcome him." Li Jiahao said with a smile.
I saw a five or six-meter-long fish like a sharp sword, stretching forward. Professor Chen was amazed. Swordfish were usually in the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, and the Americas in the western Atlantic Ocean. How could such deep-water fish be found in Litang Village? It’s really hard to understand, but what I saw in front of me was indeed a swordfish. Could it be that I was blindfolded and misreading it?
"Our pond is very deep. I guess when did the water rush in from the sea?" Li Jiahao said in a daze.
"Your village is really awesome. What are the rare animals and precious fishes? They are all running towards you. This place is good, I like it." Professor Chen said with a smile.
"If you like, stay for more days. The air here is good and suitable for life. It doesn't matter if you live here. Anyway, I have many rooms and eat. You can eat whatever we eat. It's not as good as your city, but it's definitely organic food, natural enough." Li Jiahao said a lot at once.
"That's great, I just want to relax." Professor Chen did not treat Li Jiahao as an outsider, nor did he postpone it.
While chatting, Aunt San came over and called them for dinner. Today's breakfast was still very rich. Black rice porridge, salted duck eggs, shepherd's purse pancakes, pickled bamboo shoots, stuffed beans, buns, sour cabbage, and pickled garlic. It was a good idea for everyone to eat, especially the two little guys from the Chen family. They ate several shepherd's purse pancakes for the first time.
After dinner, the Chen family and his wife were going back to the city. Although it was Sunday, the couple were still very busy. The two little guys said that you didn’t want to go back and had to spend the weekend here. Chen Bohan couldn’t even pull him away, so he had to say, “Okay, you guys and grandpa are playing here, but be obedient.” The children shouted and said, “Okay.”
"Dad, you are really planning to spend the weekend here and not go back?" said his wife Wang Yichun.
"I won't go back. I'll go back in a few days. You can just come and pick up your child on Sunday. Let the child follow me in the next few days. Just be careful when you go back." Professor Chen said with a smile.
The Chen couple drove away, and the two little things galloped freely like released pony. They hugged Xiaodian and kissed each other, and rode on the little elephant. When they were tired of playing, they went to feed the little snake. The naughty children in the village liked this foreign child very much. The key is that the snacks of the two little guys in the Chen family are useful. In the countryside, adults are already very generous to give their children a dollar of snacks in a week, while in the city, one dollar is equal to one cent. Before leaving, the Chen couple left 1,000 yuan for Li Jiahao, saying that it was a disturbance and embarrassing comfort, but Li Jiahao said he didn't want anything, so he gave the money to Professor Chen. Professor Chen was generous and took out 50 yuan for his grandson and granddaughter to buy snacks. Naturally, the snacks were eaten with the naughty children in the village.
"Uncle Jiahao, can you help me take down the bird eggs from the tree?" Chen Renjie quarreled with a group of naughty children.
"What do you want such a small bird egg? You can't eat it, so let's keep it for hatching the bird." Li Jiahao said, touching Chen Renjie's forehead.
"What do I want? The bird eggs are delicious and delicious. Damao told me just now." Chen Renjie said relentlessly.
"You big hair, just ask me for trouble. I will treat you later." Li Jiahao said with a stare at Big Hair.
"Haha, Uncle Hao, just grab it." Damao said embarrassedly.
"Yes, just grab it for us." The children shouted.
"Stop quarrel, I'll catch you now. What a group of living gods." Li Jiahao complained.
Although Li Jiahao has not climbed trees for many years, he has not lost any experience in climbing trees in the past. He has been plucked and washed by Lingshui. He is now very powerful.
Holding the bark and exerting force with his feet, Uncle Wang climbed up step by step. In a few minutes, he climbed to the bird's nest next to the treetops. The big bird was very angry when he saw that his nest was about to be snatched away by the enemy. However, the enemy's opponent was too powerful, so it was better to escape first, so the big bird flew away. Li Jiahao saw that there were six bird eggs in the bird's nest, which were mountain doves.
Li Jiahao carefully put the bird egg in his pants pocket, for fear that the bird egg would break, so the children would not make a big noise.
The two little guys in the Chen family didn't quarrel about eating the bird eggs and insisted on hatching them. They didn't have any incubator to hatch them. So the children put the bird eggs in the hay pile and hugged them in rags. Not long after, the children quarreled to go into the mountain to see how the children from this city could enter the mountain. They were still so young. If they broke, how could they be as their parents told me? Now Li Jiahao disagreed with anything. Professor Chen smiled and said, "Let's take them with me, so I'll go and have a look, so I can pick some wild vegetables and grab some pheasants and other foods."
