"What bad idea do you have, kid?" Despite Qu Changhu's partiality, he still knows the two boys at home very well, and it only takes a matter of minutes to see through Qu Xuan's little thoughts, "Are you planning to Then quietly put away my dear baby's teeth?"
"Bao Bao's teeth, how can you throw them out casually? Isn't this a huge waste of resources!" Now that it has been exposed, Qu Xuan no longer needs to hide it. The reason why he brought the dustpan over specifically was because he was afraid that the good boy would just throw the tooth into the yard and it would be difficult to find it.
"Throw away a baby tooth, why is it a waste?" Qu Changjiang shook his head. In fact, it was not only him who didn't understand, but everyone else was a little confused.
"Second uncle, you don't know this, right?" Qu Xuan didn't intend to say anything, but he couldn't resist Qu Xiang's big mouth and exposed his bottom. He was quite proud, "Last time we went up the mountain with Uncle Datang to catch the prey. Inside, there were two rabbits heading for my brother, so they spotted the tree stump in front of him and slammed into it, without him needing to take action at all."
"The bracelets that Guabao made in three to five minutes have the same effect. That tooth has been on her gums for seven years, so what's more..." At this point, Qu Xiang winked at everyone, and then There was nothing more to say, everything was left unsaid.
"It's not that my second uncle is criticizing you, Xuanxuan, your thinking is wrong!" Qu Changjiang rolled his eyes and suddenly taught Qu Xuan in a tone of voice, "You still have to be down-to-earth in doing things, and rely on yourself It’s better to improve your strength step by step, and it’s not enough to always think about taking advantage of opportunities or even getting something for nothing.”
"In this way, my baby's baby tooth will be kept by me, so that you won't have to worry about it all the time." This last sentence exposed Qu Changjiang's purpose. He just wanted to take this tooth as his own. He likes nothing more than getting something for nothing.
"Second son, you are so embarrassed..." Yue Cuiyun felt that his second son was becoming more and more promising.
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about!" Qu Changjiang has become thick-skinned for a day or two, and Yue Cuiyun's words are not painful to him. When he turned to face Xiao Qu Ning, his face was already full of smiles, "Come on, dear baby, throw it here, hey, that's right."
In fact, Qu Ning had no intention of giving the tooth to Qu Changjiang, but she was so excited by his smile just now that her hands shook, and the white little baby tooth rolled in front of Qu Changjiang's eyes. But no matter what, Qu Changjiang got his wish. He had already planned that he would take time to go up the mountain in two days to see what he could catch.
Qu Ning never realized that her family members were so bad. They knew clearly that she had lost a tooth, but they still deliberately made her laugh and told her all kinds of things to say. Once they saw her showing her little tooth, they pretended to be suppressing their laughter. Who doesn't know?
So angry!
Every time, it was until Xiao Quning puffed up her cheeks angrily that her family would hold back their laughter and start coaxing her. It's not that they don't feel sorry for Xiao Qu Ning, they just think she's cute when she smiles with her small teeth exposed.
Qu Ning didn't care about this. She decided to keep her mouth shut as long as possible before the tooth came out.
She had only been doing it for a long time, but Qu Zhongdong and the others couldn't stand it anymore, and they all expressed their opinions that they would never laugh at her again. But it was no use, Qu Ning's little face was still serious, her red and tender lips pursed, she spoke with her eyes and occasionally made gestures.
snort!
You actually laughed at me like that, I don’t want to lose face?
I have to let you know that I am not easy to coax!
It's over, it's over, my dear, I'm really angry! !
Everyone was completely panicked, and after panicking, they started blaming each other. Qu Zhongdong complained that Qu Changjiang always made excuses for Gua Bao's teeth. Qu Changjiang felt that this was because Qu Xuan laughed at Gua Bao for leaking words. Qu Xuan said that he would not take the blame. He was obviously the one who made Gua Bao laugh when they met. National Day brother...
But for now, passing the blame is secondary. The most important thing is to coax their sweet baby into good health. Each of them thought of something, and Qu Changjiang's idea was to go hunting in the mountains with the militia and get a lot of game to make amends for Guobao.
He was really swollen, and with the baby's baby teeth in the inner pocket of his cotton-padded coat, he actually started playing out of line. He picked a wooden stake that he liked and squatted down, waiting for rabbits or pheasants to hit him. As a result, no matter whether it was a hare or a pheasant, he didn't wait for one. He waited and waited, and finally what he was looking forward to was a wild boar.
Qu Changjiang's legs immediately became weak, and he rolled and crawled while escaping. His screams were heartbreaking. He was really scared to death. When he rushed to the foot of the mountain, the blue clothes he was wearing had turned to earth color, and he was in a very embarrassed state.
The scene of him being chased by the wild boar happened to be seen by Captain Shicheng, who immediately led a few strong young men to catch up with shovels and help. But this wild boar had its sights set on Qu Changjiang. No matter how others tried to stop him or chase him away, he would just chase Qu Changjiang. He was very persistent.
When he was almost running to the door of his house, Qu Changjiang really ran out of energy. When his legs gave out, he fell to the ground and almost rolled over. It's over... Now, these two words were the only words in his head, and he felt that he was going to get cold this time. Among the people left behind, two of them raised their hands and covered their eyes tightly. They really didn't have the courage to watch anymore.
What is surprising is that not only did this wild boar not pounce on Qu Changjiang and bite him, it also thrust its wet nose into his arms, as if it was acting coquettishly? ? To be honest, if its fangs weren't so sharp, Qu Changjiang would have really wanted to touch its big head, what a pig!
At this time, Qu Zhaowu and his militia team also chased after him. Together with Captain Shicheng and the others, a group of good guys rushed forward with their weapons and captured the wild boar. At the same time, Qu Zhaowu came to Qu Changjiang and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
"No, brother, wait, wait a minute, my legs are weak." Qu Changjiang's voice was trembling, and he couldn't speak clearly. It was such a cold day that his forehead was covered with sweat, his collar was soaked, and his face was pale.
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'll never go to the mountain again even to death!
Xiao Qu Ning and the others only found out about this incident when they got home from school at noon. Of course, it was a beautified version. Qu Changjiang described himself as a hero who bravely fights wild boars, making it look like it was true. Several children cheered while listening, and when he finished speaking, you and I praised him one by one.
"Second uncle, what am I talking about? Guaibao's teeth are amazing!" Qu Xiang was even more proud, "Look, Uncle Datang and the others went up the mountain every now and then, and they never encountered a wild boar once. Look again. Look at you, you just went there once and you attracted a wild boar. If you go there every three or five days, our family won't have to worry about running out of fresh meat."
And go there every three or five days? ! No, it doesn't exist!
Just hearing these words, Qu Changjiang's legs began to feel weak again, and his hands were shaking. He took out a handkerchief from the inner pocket of his cotton coat and opened it. Inside was Guobao's lost tooth. Yes, this tooth was a treasure, and he was not blessed to receive it.
"Brother, this is more suitable for you." Qu Changjiang brought the tooth to Qu Zhaowu, "With it, you won't have to worry about finding prey."
"Second uncle, you are just too humble -" Xiao Qu Ning did not hold back this time, but opened her mouth and smiled toothlessly, "You can catch wild boars with your bare hands, why is it inappropriate to hold this?" Ah? It’s suitable, it’s suitable. Whether our family can eat fresh meat in the future depends on my second uncle."
Qu Changjiang's hands trembled, he, he wanted to cry.
"Little aunt, you're smiling. Does this mean you forgive us? You won't ignore us in the future, right?" Qu Luoquan stared at Xiao Qu Ning closely. After receiving the affirmative answer, he jumped three feet high with joy. , he also screamed, "It's great, it's great~~"
"Dad, you're still awesome!" Qu Guosheng gave his dad a thumbs up, "As soon as you take action, there will be fresh meat at home, and my dear baby won't be angry with us anymore. Dad, you have changed. You will never change again." You are no longer the same person as before. How do you say that? I will look at you with admiration after three days apart..."
"Dad, don't worry, I won't have to look at you with the same old eyes anymore!" Qu Guoqing suppressed his laughter, but his eyelashes were already wet with tears. He was not blind, so how could he not see his father's That bitter gourd look. He said these words deliberately, "You can capture a wild boar by yourself. With such skills, it would be a pity not to join the militia... Uncle, what do you think?"
"Well, that's right." Qu Zhaowu, such a serious person, was amused. He was very happy to cooperate with these children, "Yangtze River, you will report to the militia tomorrow. You will be indispensable every time I go hunting in the mountains."
The corners of Qu Changjiang's mouth drooped even more, and his expression was bitter. When looking at Qu Zhaowu, Qu Changjiang's eyes were filled with resentment - too much, too much! It’s not like you don’t know what I am like. Is it interesting to bury me?
Having said that, Guobao's lost tooth eventually ended up in Qu Zhaowu's hands. After more than half a month, he led the militia team up the mountain again and gained a lot. He easily brought back a bunch of pheasants and captured an ibex. This was the first time in the entire Shuangqu Commune. .
By coincidence, on the day of meat distribution, Xiao Hua from the vegetable station brought over a technician who specializes in out-of-season vegetables. This man's name is Tan Yuan. He looks like he's in his forties. He has a deep furrow between his eyebrows and a thin appearance. When Xiao Hua introduced him, he didn't even show a smile. The first thing he said after he spoke was to ask about Qu's family. Last year I planted yellow garlic in the greenhouse.
"Don't mind. Tan Yuan has this kind of temperament. He has nothing else in his mind except his professionalism. He doesn't understand the world at all. No, he is already in his forties and is still a bald technician." Xiao Hua helped Tan Yuan. Two explanations.
Entering the room with a heated kang, Tan Yuan looked and asked many questions about garlic cultivation, including the best soil quality, how to sow seeds, the best indoor temperature range, and watering. frequency, etc. Most of the time, the Qu family is in a state of confusion. Last year, they didn't pay much attention to these details. They just gave it a try and the result was so good.
"I don't even understand Garlic, so I just want to grow mushrooms... This, isn't this nonsense?" Tan Yuanke was angry. He felt that he had been cheated. Before he came, Xiao Hua told him that this family was very good at it. Planting vegetables out of season.
"Yes, when it comes to off-season vegetables, you know more than others, but they are much better than you in practice. I have tasted the yellow garlic you grow, and it tastes so average, not as good as others' three crops... ...Do you think you should communicate and learn from them?" Xiao Hua spoke very directly.
Tan Yuan really liked this, and immediately asked Qu Zhongdong about the details of their planting. After asking, his outlook almost collapsed.
No, this is not scientific!
Whether it's planting, management or harvesting, how can you grow good garlic with just a few simple steps? !
Tan Yuan was a little doubtful about life.
They discussed and discussed, and soon it was time to have lunch. As soon as Qu Zhongdong asked to leave the meal, Xiao Hua nodded immediately, being reserved? nonexistent! Compared with delicious food, he can be shameless.
Since the wild goats were only divided in the morning, Qu Zhongdong's family got half a lamb chop, which was very tender. While it was fresh, Xiao Quning made a braised mutton pot. When the mutton is put into the pot and browned with sugar, the aroma has already wafted out. Then ginger slices, scallions, soy sauce, salt, wine, licorice, pepper, fennel, tangerine peel and other spices are added. After a quarter of an hour, the mutton smell of the wild goat meat itself is revealed. It was all gone, replaced by a rich, fresh flavor.
Now Xiao Hua and Tan Yuan couldn't sit still. They didn't mind that it was cold outside. They stood in the yard, breathing in and out, and their saliva kept pouring out. Is this... mutton stew? It doesn't seem right. This fragrance does have the freshness of mutton, but it doesn't have the slightest bit of odor. How is that possible?
