80s Taoism

Chapter 10 Peanuts

"You child, why are you sleeping on the threshold? Don't break your head." Liu Qiaoye picked up Zai Zai and walked into the room.

"Mother, I had a dream again just now. That old Taoist priest hit me on the palm. It was my master, so fierce." Zhang Jiaohua was very angry at the master in the dream.

"Has your master taught you to change?" Liu Qiaoye asked with a smile.

"No. I knew that I was asked to practice water. If I made a mistake, I would have to hit the board. It hurt so much. I hit here, and I hit here again." Zhang Jiaohua showed his mother his small hand, but it was so tender that it was not even red.

"Then you are going to school soon, are you afraid of the teacher hitting the board?" Liu Qiaoye asked with a smile.

"Don't be afraid. Jiujin said that the teachers in the school only beat children who don't obey. Jiujin doesn't have to be beaten, and I won't be beaten." Zhang Jiaohua said confidently.

"Then don't go home and cry." Liu Qiaoye was still a little worried. After all, this cub is different from other children. Just now the man secretly called him aside, and talked about what happened to him when he caught the loach today. Originally thought that Jin Hu and the others would leave one day, but they didn't expect that they were still pestering Zai Zai. Zai Zai is still so young, what can I do in the future?

"Bao Zai, you are guarding the house alone in the afternoon, and you went to dig peanuts with your mother?" Liu Qiaoye was afraid that Zai Zai would suddenly disappear one day.

"Of course I'll dig out peanuts with my mother." Zhang Jiaohua was very interested in peanuts. The groundnuts are eaten raw, and some of the peanuts are not yet ripe, and the peanut kernels inside are the best. Sweet, the moisture is still inside, not as dry as sun-dried peanuts.

When going out, Liu Qiaoye carried a hoe, and Zhang Jiaohua took a small steel hoe for planting vegetable seedlings. Jumping and following behind. Jin Hu and the others also happily followed. They didn't realize that they were dead, and they were different from Zhang Jiaohua.

On the way, I ran into Zhang Jiujin. When Zhang Jiujin heard that he was born, he weighed nine catties. When a baby is born in the countryside, the heavier the baby, it means that the baby is well nourished in the mother's womb. grow strong. Therefore, Zhang Jiujin's family directly named him Zhang Jiujin.

Zhang Jiujin was very long when he was born, less than a year older than Zhang Jiaohua, but he looked like a junior high school student. This guy is a foodie, he can't stop eating in his mouth all the time, and when he has nothing to eat, he can chew on some weeds on the road with relish. Therefore, the height is only 1.4 meters, and the weight has already exceeded 100 catties.

When Zhang Jiaohua met Zhang Jiujin, Zhang Jiujin was holding a half-sized jicama in his hand. Chewing big mouthfuls, chewing the jicama until it is crunchy.

Seeing Zhang Jiaohua, Zhang Jiujin's narrowed eyes suddenly opened, and he shouted excitedly, "Jiaohua, Jiaohua. What are you doing?"

Zhang Jiaohua responded, "Go and dig out the peanuts."

"Can you eat your peanuts?" Zhang Jiujin asked.

"That's right. Your family grew jicama?" Zhang Jiaohua saw that Zhang Jiujin was eating so deliciously, and thought that the jicama must be very sweet.

"Well, there's too much rain, so it's not very sweet. The sweet sorghum is as light as water. It seems that we won't be able to eat until it clears up a few days." Zhang Jiujin shook his head, very satisfied.

Zhang Jiaohua chuckled, this guy is not tasty but he eats so deliciously.

"I told you not to talk to the beggar, did you take your mother's words as a deaf ear?" Zhang Jiujin's mother rushed over, pulled Zhang Jiujin away, as if if she talked to Zhang Jiaohua more, his son would be eaten by Zhang Jiaohua.

Zhang Jiaohua stood there watching Zhang Jiujin's mother dragging Zhang Jiujin away who couldn't turn his head. Jin Hu and the others stared blankly at Zhang Jiaohua.

"Zai Zai, don't pay attention to such a person, it's unreasonable at all." Liu Qiaoye walked over, afraid that Zai Zai would be wronged.

In the morning, Jin Hu and the others frightened father, and Zhang Jiaohua was worried that they would frighten mother again. But he didn't dare to tell Jin Hu and the others. And every time, no matter what Zhang Jiaohua said, they didn't seem to hear it, as long as Zhang Jiaohua did something, they would imitate it.

"Bao Zai, Mother tore off the peanuts, and you pick them up at the side, and the peanut mother in the soil will come to dig. In the evening, Mother will give you a poached egg." Liu Qiaoye arranged work for Zhang Jiaohua in the ridge of the peanut field.

"Yes." Zhang Jiaohua nodded.

It has just rained, and the ridges of the peanut fields are very dry, but the land covered by peanut seedlings is still very moist, so the soil is very loose. With a light pull, the peanuts can be pulled out. Put it on the hoe and tap it lightly to knock off the soil stained on it.

Zhang Jiaohua's work is very easy. He only needs to pick the groundnuts from their fibrous roots and put them in the dustpan. But the speed may not be able to keep up with Liu Qiaoye.

But what surprised Liu Qiaoye was that although she worked quickly and pulled peanuts fast enough, she couldn't keep up with Zhang Jiaohua's speed of picking peanuts. At first, Liu Qiaoye didn't pay attention. Zhang Jiaohua in the back urged her to pull peanuts faster, otherwise she only noticed this when he had no work to do.

After quietly staring at it for a while, Liu Qiaoye was shocked. Peanuts are flying into the dustpan by themselves. Liu Qiaoye's heart turned cold, those guys really are still pestering Zai Zai. This is how to do ah? She wasn't very scared. Although Jin Hu and the others had been pestering the cubs for a long time, they didn't bring any other troubles to the family. It's just that knowing that Zai Zai is haunted by little ghosts is always worrying.

Zhang Jiaohua patted the dirt on his hands, raised his head and asked, "Mother, are you still tearing peanuts?"

Jin Hu and the others also looked at Liu Qiaoye together.

"What the fuck." Liu Qiaoye shook off the distracting thoughts in his head, and didn't think too much about it for now. As long as the cub is okay.

Parenting with a child who is different is the hardest. It always takes several times or even a hundred times more hard work than other parents. Is Liu Qiaoye ready?

Dumb babbling and babbling led the cattle on the ridge of the field. Their family's yellow cattle were fat and strong, all thanks to such a simple and honest child. The dumb man is called Zhang Bangen, and his ears are not very good, which affects his vocalization.

"Mother, I'll put our cattle in the future, shall I?" Zhang Jiaohua looked enviously at the dumb man leisurely on the ridge. Little kids regard doing things as a kind of pleasure, although in the future, when they grow up, they may regard it as a burden. At least now they love labor. Whether it's helping or dishelping.

"Yeah." Liu Qiongye didn't want to see Zai Zai's disappointed look. So she agreed.

After the accident, when it was Zhang Jiaohua's turn to herd cattle at home, Zhang Youping always went to herd the cattle. When grazing cattle, adults often tie the cattle to a tree, and then use a sickle to cut off the grass where the cattle cannot eat, so that the cattle can eat quickly. This leaves time to gather firewood or do other farm work.
