Retired soldier king and his little sweetheart

When I got home, Tang Huai found a big bucket and poured the frogs into it, covered it with a big dustpan, and prepared to get it to eat tomorrow.

It was getting late and cooking was too time consuming, so Tang Huai made two bowls of noodles and was ready to rest after eating.

The two who had already slept together outside returned to the village, but they slept separately again.

One is habit, and the other is that the village is full of women and children, Tang Huai and Zhuang Xiaoduo will be unhappy if others talk nonsense.

After returning home, Zhuang Xiaoduo hugged the computer and checked the nearby land transfer information on Tuliu.com.

There are quite a lot of transferred land in Yushan County, and three of them are ready-made pig farms, but according to the photos, the equipment does not meet the standards of Sunshine Pig at all, and the area is not large.

There are also a few chicken farms with a large area, but the housing equipment for raising chickens is completely different from that for raising pigs. If you want to use it, you can only use a piece of land, and everything else has to be rebuilt.

Zhuang Xiaoduo sorted out the information one by one in the table, bookmarked the webpage, and planned to contact and ask the next day.

Then I took out the contract and looked at it carefully. I couldn't understand a few places. If I had time, I asked a friend who was a lawyer to help me.

The price of the equipment is relatively clear. After the specification is determined, it can be converted according to the area. The trouble is the number of fences.

The calculation of boars and sows, farrowing pens, nursery pens, etc. is more troublesome. The construction standards of each are different, and the update time is also different.

Zhuang Xiaoduo calculated according to the scale of 40 mu of land, and didn't go to sleep until after 2 o'clock in the morning.

Early the next morning, Tang Huai came to ask Zhuang Xiaoduo to have breakfast, saw that his eyes were black and blue, and asked him if he didn't sleep well.

Zhuang Xiaoduo held the laptop in his hand and said that he was working on a budget last night.

"I saw some venues nearby for lease. I will call later and let's go and have a look this afternoon."

"it is good."

It was mid-August, and it was the hottest time. Zhuang Xiaoduo was sweating profusely from walking from Cuntou to the end of the village.

The villagers drove their tractors rumbling into the fields. The corn that had been planted early had already begun to harvest the first batch, and those who were not quite on the road said hello and asked why they were there.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of Tang Huai's yard, I saw a large basket of corn under the eaves.

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "Have you planted corn yet?"

"No," Tang Huai followed Zhuang Xiaoduo and walked in. The loofahs and grapes in the yard had already climbed onto the bamboo trellises, and the green and tender branches were growing wildly everywhere. Tang Huai was tall and was always poked in the face from time to time. I pinched off a few and kept them in the corner, "Grandma Nine sent them. They were planted late and they are still very tender. I will make corn cakes for you later."

Noodles were still served for breakfast, but Tang Huai took care of the frogs from last night early in the morning and stewed a pot full of them, which was perfect for making noodles.

Zhuang Xiaoduo had eaten it when he was a child, but he hadn't eaten it since he left Chating Village. There were only bullfrogs outside.

Occasionally, when I mentioned it to my friends in the city, the other party was surprised, thinking that frogs are beneficial insects, how can they be eaten?

Zhuang Xiaoduo could only smile in embarrassment. Although he explained to them that there are many kinds of frogs, it didn't help. This is difficult for people who have never lived in the southern countryside to understand.

In the era of material scarcity, the frogs in the rice fields in summer were a gift from nature.

After breakfast, Zhuang Xiaoduo turned on the computer and made phone calls one by one to find out the situation of the transfer location and ask for a rough quotation.

After asking all the questions and making an appointment, I went out to see that Tang Huai had already peeled the light yellow tender corn into individual grains and was cleaning the stone mill at the corner of the eaves.

The nine mothers-in-law sent waxy corn, which has a high starch content.Zhuang Xiaoduo put a pill in his mouth, it was very sweet, but with a "raw" taste.

"Grandpa also planted corn, but I didn't take care of it well."

Tang Huai used a clean rag to do the final cleaning, and said casually, "We will plant some more in the spring of next year."

Corn cakes are locally called Baogu cakes.

The method is very simple, choose tender corn, peel one by one, and then use a stone mill to grind the corn into puree. After adding an appropriate amount of white sugar to see the taste, knead it into pieces, wrap it with fresh corn leaves, and steam it in a pot over high heat. Can.

It's not complicated, but peeling tender corn and grinding corn mud is a grueling job.

Tang Huai has been grinding for almost 20 minutes. Although it is not a physical activity for him, he still feels sore in his arm when he pushes the grinder with one hand repeatedly.

Zhuang Xiaoduo asked to play.

It was easy to see Tang Huai using it, but Zhuang Xiaoduo's arms were not as long as Tang Huai's, and he had to stand on tiptoe and stretch his waist to reach it when he pushed it to the diameter.

10 minute later.

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "I can't do it, my back hurts."

Tang Huai took it: "Why does the waist hurt?"

Zhuang Xiaoduo: "Do you think that where you can easily reach 187, I can also get 174?"

Near noon, a large pot of fragrant glutinous rice cakes came out of the oven. The moment the lid was opened, steam overflowed the entire kitchen.

The golden and soft glutinous rice cake is wrapped in the light yellow and translucent rice bread leaves, which is full of fragrance.

Tang Huai put a few on the plate and asked Zhuang Xiaoduo to take it to the yard to cool down. Then he took the tea he made in the morning out of the refrigerator, put a little mint in it, and took it out.

The two each took a big mouthful of herbal tea, and just as they picked up the rice cakes, an angry "Xiaoduo!" sounded from outside the courtyard.

Zhuang Aiguo parked the battery car at the gate of the courtyard and sat down familiarly.

"I'm making glutinous rice cakes, my glutinous rice cakes have been old for a long time." After saying that, he picked up a piece and tasted it, chewing it while commenting, "It's okay, not too sweet."

Seeing this, Tang Huai rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders helplessly, revealing his perfect strong arms, stuffed a big mouthful into his mouth, and said nothing.

Zhuang Xiaoduo also took a bite, "No, it's delicious, too sweet and it doesn't taste like corn."

"That's something you haven't eaten before. I'll make it for you when my brother's corn is ready next year. It's sweet without sugar." Although Zhuang Aiguo said that, the food tastes better than anyone else. After three bites, a piece of rice cake No more, still muttering a little dry.

Zhuang Xiaoduo gave Tang Huai a wink, and Tang Huai had no choice but to stand up and go to the kitchen to pour water.

"Brother, what can you do with me?"

When it comes to business, Zhuang Aiguo raised his legs.Tang Huai just came out with herbal tea, and Zhuang Aiguo drank it all.

"I heard that you two are going to start a pig farm? Or Sunshine Pig?"

"Yeah, didn't you say to do it before?" Tang Huai also crossed Erlang's legs, crossed his hands on his knees, and shook his head back and forth slightly, unable to conceal his pride.

Zhuang Aiguo couldn't feel Tang Huai's magnetic field at all, so he picked up another piece of rice cake, "I won't make it for now, ahem. But I can recommend the venue. A classmate's family used to raise pigs, and it's in the town A little bit past the apple orchard." Zhuang Xiaoduo: "Really? How big is it?"

Zhuang Aiguo: "The total area is a little more than 32 mu. It is backed by the mountain. The mountain is also his family's. You can grow whatever you want."

Zhuang Xiaoduo worked all night last night, who knew that the most suitable one was by his side.

After the scorching sun at noon passed, Zhuang Aiguo took Tang Huai and Zhuang Xiaoduo to see the venue. After Zhuang Xiaoduo returned from Nanning, he found that he was much darker, so he made up his mind to take good sun protection.

In August when Tang Huai wanted to be shirtless, Zhuang Xiaoduo sat on the back seat of Tang Huai's motorcycle wearing a peaked cap and sun protection clothing.

When I was in the car, it was fine because of the wind, and it was not very hot.

As soon as he stopped, Zhuang Xiaoduo became very hot after walking around the pig farm for a while, and his upper body was covered with sweat.

This venue has been vacant for more than two months. The equipment inside has been emptied, the main motor brake has been disabled, and there are no lights.

Picking two of each type of pigsty to look at, Zhuang Xiaoduo felt that the overall layout was pretty good.

It's just that it was not very strict when it was built before, and many places were not qualified according to the standards of Sunshine Pig.If necessary, the pigsty will be completely dismantled and redone.

Tang Huai felt that it was a bit small. The contracted scale for raising pigs and piglets was 30-50 mu, which just met the minimum standard.

But fortunately the price is not bad.

Tang Huai and Zhuang Xiaoduo wanted to check out the other three reserved venues, so the three of them left first.

In fact, I was pretty sure it was there.

After watching the third place, Zhuang Xiaoduo was exhausted, his lips were pale and his cheeks were red.

On the way to the last blank woodland, Zhuang Xiaoduo finally realized that he might have suffered from heat stroke, and was about to ask Tang Huai to stop and let him drink some water.

His eyes went dark and he fell down.

Tang Huai only heard a muffled sound. Turning around, Zhuang Xiaoduo was gone. When he stopped the car, he saw that Zhuang Xiaoduo was stuck in the ditch by the side of the road.

"Ah...Pull me up." Zhuang Xiaoduo's entire upper body was stuck in the ditch, with his feet up in the air, unable to move.

Tang Huai quickly jumped down.

"Grab my neck and relax."

Tang Huai pulled Zhuang Xiaoduo out. Fortunately, there was no water in the ditch, so he didn't choke or anything.Quickly take him under a few big trees not far away.

"Take off your clothes and shoes."

Zhuang Xiaoduo took off the sun protection clothing, and the hat just fell off somewhere.

"Wait for me," Tang Huai asked Zhuang Xiaoduo to lean against the tree trunk.

There are no villages nearby, only a large area of ​​fruit forests. Tang Huai walked along the ditch for 2 minutes, found a reservoir, took off his T-shirt and ran back after getting soaked.

Tang Huai wiped Zhuang Xiaoduo's face with the soaked T-shirt, and then wiped it back and forth on his back. Zhuang Xiaoduo finally felt better.

"Don't wear so much next time, it's too hot." Sitting next to Zhuang Xiaoduo, Tang Huai fanned Zhuang Xiaoduo with a big leaf picked by the roadside.

Zhuang Xiaoduo felt embarrassed, and explained with a guilty conscience, "I'm afraid I'll get too tan."

"It looks good even if it's dark, but I'm pretty dark." Tang Huai deliberately moved her face closer.

Zhuang Xiaoduo didn't have much energy to fight with Tang Huai, just smiled, Tang Huai had to touch his cheek lightly, let him rest on his own.

After getting better, it was already past four o'clock, and the sun was not so strong. The two rode their motorcycles home.

Tang Huai walked around Zhuang Xiaoduo like a big horse monkey who had wronged his wife, insisting on serving Zhuang Xiaoduo in the shower, and sighed helplessly after being rejected by Zhuang Xiaoduo.

They had no choice but to cook some light porridge and small cold dishes, and the two of them ate while watching TV in the living room of Zhuang Xiaoduo.

At around six o'clock in the evening, when the two were cuddling on the sofa and watching the agricultural channel, Zhuang Aiguo broke in.

"Zhuang Xiaoduo!! You guys!"

"It's over, forget about Zhuang Aiguo." Zhuang Xiaoduo broke free from Tang Huai's arms and sat up, and Tang Huai sat up again and half hugged Zhuang Xiaoduo.

It's like being caught cheating.

Zhuang Xiaoduo looked at Tang Huai, who had a nonchalant expression on his face.

He smiled awkwardly: "Brother, you're back."

"Zhuang Xiaoduo!" Zhuang Aiguo pointed at Zhuang Xiaoduo with one hand on his hips and the other, panting, "You didn't tell me when you came back! I ran so far and waited for so long, and I didn't answer the phone, you..."

Tang Huai: "How's that place?"

Zhuang Aiguo sighed softly, and sat down on the sofa: "Well, there is nothing but a large land. There is no high-voltage power station, and the water source is only a small river."

After Zhuang Aiguo finished speaking, he realized that he was still trying to settle accounts with them, so he looked up at them.

... What does hooking shoulders and backs mean?

Zhuang Aiguo, a straight man of iron and steel, was puzzled, he rubbed his hands together: "Aren't you two warm hugging each other like this?"

"Not hot." Tang Huai said.

"No, why did you two come back by yourself?!" Zhuang Aiguo returned to anger.

"I suffered from heat stroke, and then I fell into the ditch, and my phone broke, here, look." Zhuang Xiaoduo grabbed the phone on the coffee table and showed him the screen of his phone that was cracked into a spider web, and then raised his elbow to him. Look at the scratches.

Only then did Zhuang Aiguo nod his head, expressing his understanding.

But no matter how you look at the two people who are nestled opposite each other, they feel that something is wrong. Even if they are brothers, they will only hug their shoulders. What is the meaning of hugging their waists?

Although Zhuang Aiguo is a little old, he is still a young man of the new era.

After weighing for a moment, he asked, "Are you two a couple?"
