Farmhouse Senda

Chapter 83 The Cousin Is Here
Li Qingyun hurriedly ran over and saw a large piece of rotten melon and broken melon seedlings in the middle of the melon field. There were traces of animals gnawing on the watermelon skin, and hoof marks on the cantaloupe.Seeing this, Li Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was the revenge of Li Huozi and others.

Small animals often come to harm the crops in the fields. There are some ways to deal with them, but it is more troublesome.With gold and copper coins, Li Qingyun didn't think it was a problem. As long as he paid attention tonight, he might be able to catch the murderer.

However, these rotten melons and fruits are very attractive to bugs, and the fragrance of plants and trees is very good, which makes the bugs in this piece a little out of control.It's a bit unrealistic to rely on the birds in the sky alone. Li Qingyun felt that he should raise some chickens in the field, eat insects, and lay eggs.

Secretary Zhu was a little curious and asked, "I don't know what beast did it, why is it not on the ground, but in the middle of the ground?"

"There are many people in the land, and no wild animals dare to show their faces in public. It is safer to get into the melon fields. You pick them first, and I will go to other places to check." Li Qingyun said, ordering the gold coins and copper coins to smell the smell left by the beasts. , and then let them look for the things that harm the melon fields.

Although there was no professional training, the gold coins and copper coins were very smart and quickly understood what Li Qingyun meant.Running along the open space between the ridges and running up the mountain, Li Qingyun was curious, thinking that if this thing settled on the mountain, the vegetables and fruits in the future would be in big trouble.

Yang Yunu and Jiang Qinqin followed closely, but when they passed the vegetable field, they were stopped by Li Qingyun's mother.

"Bai Ni, why are you here? Come to my aunt to talk, eat some tomatoes first, and then pick melons and watermelons for you." Chen Xiuzhi was very happy and greeted this beautiful niece warmly.

Bai Ni is Yang Yunu's nickname. Among relatives, especially elders calling juniors, calling them nicknames is a habit and a reality.

In some places, shouting one's name among relatives can also create a sense of alienation, adding to misunderstandings.

Between the same generation, the name to be called depends on the occasion and habit, and there is no special requirement.In formal occasions, it is usually called by a big name, and in private occasions, it is fine to call a nickname or a nickname.

When Li Qingyun is in private, he mostly calls his cousin's nickname Bai Ni, if in front of her colleagues, he calls Yu Nu more, and when he is in a good mood, he will even call her nickname "Xiao Bai".

Because there is no blood relationship between them, only the neighbors of Li Qingyun's grandfather's family have relevant names according to the seniority in the village.

After all, Yang Yunu's family is just a neighbor of Li Qingyun's grandfather's family.

"Gu, I'm here to play with my cousin. The work has been very easy recently, and I've been very busy at home. You know my dad, he was used to practicing boxing when he didn't have a job at home, and he forced me to practice, even with colleagues at home. I was so tired that my whole body was soaked and it was ugly to die." Yang Yunu wanted to accompany Li Qingyun to find the murderer who harmed Guatian, but her aunt stopped her, so she couldn't walk away, so she ran over and chatted with her.

Chen Xiuzhi took her hand, and she liked it regardless of the presence of others, and said affectionately, "You are lucky to be born in the Yang family, unlike your aunt, who wanted to learn boxing when you were young, but your grandfather didn't teach him. I heard it the day before yesterday. Fuwa said, you helped him drive away the villains in the village, well done, I will make you a delicious meal to replenish your body."

"Gu, people are losing weight recently, how dare they make up." Yang Yunu said shyly, her white and tender cheeks were flushed, very cute.

Chen Xiuzhi's eyes widened, and she comforted her in her unique way: "Nonsense! You have practiced boxing for more than ten years, but there is no trace of fat on your body? If there is a man who doesn't open his eyes to let you lose weight, my aunt will help you pump him."

"Oh, there are so many people here, how can my aunt say this? Let's not talk about it, I'm going to my cousin, there are things in the melon field, and my cousin is asking the hounds to catch them." Yang Yunu blushed and explained. After saying a word, he pulled Jiang Qinqin, who was snickering, and ran away.

"Bai Ni, Bai Ni... Aunt hasn't finished speaking yet, why did you run away, child?" Chen Xiuzhi looked at her niece who had grown into a big girl and was very satisfied. She looked like a gourd, which was possible in a mountain village. A significant sign of childbirth is also the primary condition for most families to choose a good daughter-in-law.

There is no blood relationship between the two families, but they are very close in relationship, so there is nothing wrong with the approach of kissing each other.

In the past, Chen Xiuzhi didn't have any thoughts in this regard, but in the past two years, she found that her niece Bai Ni is getting more and more beautiful, and she is very close to her son.

Li Yuncong and Maodan were weeding, glanced at the two slender figures running by, and said, "It's so beautiful, whoever you marry is a blessing from a previous life! But I heard that Bai Ni has always liked Brother Fuwa, let's There is no chance to start, that girl from the city is not bad, we brothers can work hard, maybe there is still a chance."

Maodan shook his head and said very realistically: "Forget it, how could such a beautiful city girl like us? Even if we marry, we can't afford it. Big head, I'm not talking about you, don't think you're in the city. After reading for a few years, the toad wants to eat swan meat, if you dare to take over your father's craftsmanship, maybe there is still a chance."

Li Yuncong said angrily: "You are so boring, the reality is cruel, can't we imagine it? Don't mention the skill of catching snakes, it's okay to catch cauliflower snakes, you let me catch those poisonous snakes, what if I miss it? My father's so-called secret recipe for snake medicine is the same, what if it doesn't work?"

"So you can't believe your family's secret recipe for snake medicine!" Cat Dan suddenly realized and cried, "No wonder you refused to inherit your father's secret recipe skills, so you don't have confidence in yourself!"

Li Yuncong glared at him and said solemnly: "I'm just telling you this, don't spread it. My father heard it, and he had to beat me to death. But my father said that he went into the mountain some time ago. , He cured two foreigners with the secret recipe of ancestral snake medicine, and they not only paid the wages, but also gave them a bonus of several hundred yuan."

Maodan is also considered a high-paying family, and he speaks with some confidence, and pouted: "What kind of money is that, I heard Brother Fuwa say that Chinese experts are employers, and I found the village chief to show some documents before agreeing to enter the mountain. Otherwise, at the price they paid, no one was willing to go into the mountain. I asked the translator in the city, but no one came for [-] days. In the end, Brother Fuwa went into the mountain with a salary of [-] a day, and even let the villagers We have been envious for many days. But your father is quite satisfied with the salary, saying that he earns more than catching snakes!"

"Damn!" Li Yuncong retorted, "If the merchants who collected snakes from other places were not so black-hearted, my father would have made a small fortune with his snake-catching skills. The merchants from other places came to collect snakes, a king cobra weighing more than three catties It’s only 50 yuan, but do you know what it’s selling for outside? At least 300 yuan.”

"Then why doesn't your father go outside to sell snakes?" Maodan asked, "If I get rich early, I can also get some money. Look at Brother Fuwa who gets rich, don't we get all the money? Go into the water to catch fish for a while, and then we will get rich." A bonus of 300 yuan was given."

"You know what a fool! You think it's that simple to sell snakes outside. If you are caught, you will be accused of selling rare wild animals. Not only will you be fined, but you will also be sentenced to prison. That year my father caught more than 200 poisonous snakes. I went to the city to try my luck, but who knew that when I arrived at the market, before I found my next home, I was reported. Not only was I fined, all the poisonous snakes were confiscated, but I was also locked up for fifteen days. After I came out, my father swore that he would never Stop selling snakes in the city!"

"It's a pity! In the end, we don't have a channel. If there is a good channel, there are many valuable things in the mountains, and they won't be taken away by people with cabbage, and they will sell them for gold prices as soon as they change hands. Brother Fuwa's vegetables can be sold at high prices. , because he has channels, and of course, quality is also very important."

"Isn't this nonsense? If it wasn't for the quality, how could the big boss in the city come to our remote town to buy vegetables..."

The two chatted while weeding, starting from a woman, and magically transitioning to the issue of sales channels, and they talked in a similar way.

Li Qingyun followed the hounds to the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain was slightly flat, about an acre, and full of fruit trees.On the other side of the hillside, which is inclined to the north, due to poor lighting and steepness, no one is willing to plant it, and it has not been cultivated into terraced fields.However, planting some fruit trees and tea trees is not a big problem. Li Qingyun's father did not want the hills to be abandoned, so he planted fruit trees on them, but unfortunately the harvest was not large.

The gold coins and copper coins made a few "beeps", and they actually wanted to run up the steep hillside. Li Qingyun hurriedly stopped them. Even if the beasts that harmed the melon fields were hidden on the steep hillside, now is not the time to catch them.Because the slopes are steep and somewhat dangerous, in this environment, gold and copper coins may not necessarily catch them.Moreover, Secretary Zhu is still in the melon field, so he can't really take others seriously, and he must go back to accompany him.

"We'll clean you up at night." Li Qingyun said harshly, stopped the two hounds, and prepared to return.

Yang Yunu and Jiang Qinqin had just reached the top of the mountain when they saw that Li Qingyun was going to return. They were a little unhappy and shook his arm and said that the dog would catch the prey.

Li Qingyun didn't want to provoke Jiang Qinqin, so he wouldn't be too outspoken to his little cousin, and threatened: "There are many poisonous snakes on the shady hillside. If you dare to go down secretly, I will hit you!"

Yang Yunu was embarrassed, opened his hand, and said angrily: "How dare you! Everyone has grown up, and if it's like when I was a child, I have to tell my aunt."

Jiang Qinqin laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and coaxed: "Li Qingyun, so you really fought!"

Li Qingyun was ashamed, he didn't want to provoke Jiang Qinqin, the gentle-looking hot girl, what... In short, it was too wrong. Following Jiang Qinqin's nonsense, he really took a few glances at Yang Yunu.

Suddenly I discovered that my cousin has really grown up, and she can no longer speak and do things as casually as she did when she was a child.
