Hello, 1983

"Big sister, hurry up and send me two tea eggs too!"

Xiao Lao Si was in the middle of the queue, jumping up and down in a hurry. After working all morning, he was really hungry, especially after seeing the other children eating and babbling hard.

Liu Jinfeng also held back his laughter: "Fourth and fifth, yours are in the house, I'll keep them all for you."

The little brother shook the antenna braid vigorously: "No, this is what I deserve for my labor!"

What you said makes sense. Liu Qingshan also thinks that the spirit of the fourth child is worth encouraging. If you work hard, you should get something, so he also helps to divide the tea eggs.

It will be divided soon, and the fastest one will be eaten. As for the remaining one, I will definitely be reluctant to eat it.

When the children were gone, Liu Jinfeng also took out a tea egg from the pot. She had been busy for so long, and she hadn't tasted it yet.

Taking a bite of the elastic egg white, Liu Jinfeng's eyes narrowed immediately.

I just feel that my mouth is full of the fragrance of tea leaves and the fragrance mixed with other seasonings, which is really no worse than meat.

When Liu Qingshan went out in the morning, he put the tea eggs in the pot and asked the elder sister to take care of them.

In fact, it is to use the back of a spoon to break the egg shells, and then add some firewood to the stove pit every now and then.

Unexpectedly, the boiled tea eggs tasted so good.

"It's delicious. If boiled tea eggs are sold, they will definitely be popular."

Liu Jinfeng ate a tea egg and began to praise his younger brother.

"That is, if you sell tea eggs near the station in the city, you may be able to sell a household of 10,000 yuan."

Liu Qingshan remembered a popular saying later: It is better to sell tea eggs than those who build atomic bombs.

At a certain stage, this sentence can really reflect the social status quo at that time.

The fourth child ate two tea eggs in one go, and was still a little unfulfilled.

When I was thinking about whether to have another one, I heard Shan Xing suddenly cheer:

"Yeah, our little swallow is back!"

Hear her say this,

Only then did everyone notice that there were indeed a pair of swallows on the clothesline made of iron wire.

They are combing their feathers with their small mouths and don't know when they came back.

Liu Qingshan touched Shan Xing's watermelon head: "Our Shan Xing is the most attentive."

Shan Xing was a little embarrassed when he praised Shan Xing, and the fourth little brother also looked up at his little head carefully, looked at it, and cheered:

"Wow, here comes another pair of swallows, making their nests under the eaves of our house!"

With her voice, she recruited Grandma and Lin Zhi, and stood in the yard smiling.

According to the local villagers: Swallows are auspicious birds, and they are not built under the eaves of any family. They are selected from harmonious and happy families.

Therefore, whoever has a nest of swallows is regarded as a good omen.

Even if there are cats at home, they all train their cats to be honest and don't dare to harm the swallows.

The little doll at home was also warned by adults early not to hurt the swallow, what to stab the bird's nest and so on.

Because of this, swallows can live in harmony with humans.

At this time, Yang Hongying also finished washing and came to this courtyard from her grandfather's house.

I saw two swallows flying around, with small mud balls in their mouths, and a small straw stick wrapped in the mud ball.

Don't look at this little straw stick, it can increase the pulling force of the bird's nest and make it more durable.

When people plaster mud walls, they have to mix wheat roe or broken grass into the mud, which is likely to be learned from swallows.

One by one, the small mud balls were glued to the wall by the little swallows, and slowly formed into a small bowl-shaped bird's nest, and then they could have children in it.

This bird's nest is their home.

"Little Swallow is working hard."

Xiao Lao Si muttered in his mouth.

"The home they built themselves must be very warm."

Yang Hongying seemed to be moved.

Liu Jinfeng poked at Gao Wenxue next to him: "We should also build a house."

Gao Wenxue took Xiaohuo out to bask in the sun, and after listening to his wife's words, he nodded vigorously.

Liu Qingshan also sang softly in his mouth: "Yanyan is flying, and her son is returning..."

Yang Hongying was stunned when she heard it. This was a sentence in the Book of Songs. I didn't expect Sanfeng to understand this.

"It's not to look down on people. The reason why swallows are loved by people is because in ancient times, people regarded them as their own married daughters."

Liu Qingshan saw the meaning in the eyes of the old sister, so he was ready to talk about it:

"Swallows come in spring, like a married daughter returning to her parents' home. Think about it, your own daughter, of course, should be treated well."

"So this is ah."

The little fourth clapped his hands when he heard it, and then looked at the eldest sister Liu Jinfeng: "Hey, eldest sister, why are you still living at home after you are married?"

You bastard, Liu Jinfeng smiled and poked her on the forehead lightly.

Liu Qingshan also smiled at Yang Hongying: "Sister, when you get married in the future, we will definitely entertain you when you go home."

"Sanfeng, your ears are itchy, aren't you!"

Yang Hongying's pretty face was blushing, and she tried to come over and pinch Liu Qingshan's ears.

Liu Qingshan waved his hands again and again: "Don't make trouble, don't scare the little Yanzi, the little Yanzi looks at it, this family is not good, chickens and geese fight all day, let's go to other people's houses to build a nest."

Although he knew that he was full of fools, Yang Hongying still stopped and continued to watch the swallows build the nest.

And the fourth youngest suddenly thought: "Are these two little swallows in the new nest, the children born by the big swallow last year?"

Not to mention, one of them is very likely to be true.

I have to say that children's thinking is sometimes so strange.

The fourth child who was praised also smiled brightly: "This swallow, just like our family, has grandparents and grandparents. In the future, the little swallow will hatch, just like a small fire, with a harmonious and loving family, hee hee."

Everyone listened, and they didn't feel a smile on their faces. Isn't this what each of them wanted?

At noon dinner, the rest of the tea eggs were also tasted by one person, and everyone was noisy and delicious.

Mother Lin Zhi even said with a smile: "I'll boil the tea eggs when it's the May Festival."

In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan led the children to continue picking morels.

These collected in the morning have been spread out in the yard for drying, and old people like the kidnappers, grandfather and grandmother, are guarding by the side.

The sun is shining and the spring breeze is blowing. In this natural state, the food that is air-dried will definitely taste better than those dried by the machine.

Because after being bathed in the sun, the dried vegetables have a soul.

This is really not nonsense. Take bracken as an example. There is absolutely a big difference between drying it in the sun and drying it on the kang head.

Sun-dried bracken, after watering, still tastes very fresh and tender; dried on the kang head, it tastes more woody.

Some things are just so miraculous.

The picking team finished work early, and when they returned to the village, a few children asked, "Brother Qingshan, is there any reward?"

Liu Qingshan smiled and rubbed their little heads: "Wait for next Sunday."

The children cheered and then dispersed.

This kind of reward, Liu Qingshan decided to form a rule: as long as the children participate in labor, whether it is tree planting or gathering, they must give a small reward.

Isn't it just tea eggs, the most important thing in the future is definitely eggs.

When Liu Qingshan and the others got home, they heard the chirping under the eaves, and there was a quarrel.

The little old fourth has sharp eyes and shouted: "The Swallow is fighting with the thief in his hometown!"

The thief of the hometown is a sparrow.

Because the sparrow likes to nest in the grass of the thatched house on the top of Fangshan, and it will fly away when it sees people, so it is called the thief of the hometown.

Why did this fight so well?

Liu Qingshan is not biased, they are all birds, so they shouldn't discriminate because of the bad reputation of their hometown thief.

Or Shan Xing usually pays attention, pointing to the bird's nest under the eaves and saying:

"In winter, I saw sparrows living in bird's nests."

It turned out to be the case, and everyone quickly figured out: the thieves of the old family can't build their own nests, and the swallows fly away in winter, and they occupy the bird's nest.

Now that Yanzi is back, it is estimated that the thief in his hometown still wants to continue occupying the bird's nest, but he made Xiao Yanzi angry, and the war broke out.

This war can be called "home defense war".

Including Liu Qingshan, immediately stood on the side of Yanzi.

Originally, it was a home built with mud and mud, and it was enough to tell you to live in vain for a winter without charging you rent.

The fourth and fifth were shouting to cheer for Xiaoyanzi.

In fact, the Yanzi side had already had the upper hand, driving the two thieves out of their hometown.

The reason is very simple, the number of swallows is large.

They are a kind of very united birds, not only the four swallows in Liu Qingshan's family, but also a dozen nearby swallows, all of them are involved in the battle.

Liu Qingshan had seen it with his own eyes in one year, a bird eagle flew into the village to touch the chicks.

It happened to be the breeding season for swallows, and as a result, all the swallows in the village flew into the air, there were a hundred or two hundred, and all the birds and eagles were driven away.

Not even an eagle would do, and the thief in his hometown would give it even more freely, being chased and pecked by swallows. One of them panicked and flew into the house through the open door.

Then he wanted to fly out, flapping his wings and hitting the glass.

Liu Qingshan felt that the thief in his hometown was also pitiful, so he took it in his hands and let it go outside.

This thief from his hometown didn't know what to do, and he used his small mouth to peck at Liu Qingshan's hand.

"You unconscience, believe it or not, I will throw you in the stove and bake it."

If Liu Qingshan was really the original half-eldest boy, he would definitely do this. In my memory, in winter, he would not be less likely to dig out the house sparrows with Datou and Erbiaozi.

It's cold in winter here, and the thieves in my hometown all get up on the purlins, and it's leeward and warm.

In the evening, when I took a flashlight and took a picture, the house sparrow was blindfolded, so he shrank his head back and did not know how to escape.

At this time, he climbed up the wooden ladder, and when he covered his hands, he caught the thief alive.

After falling to death, they are thrown under the stove or in the stove to bake, and the roast is mushy. A little house sparrow and three little friends share it.

At that time, I couldn't eat meat a few times a year, and it would also satisfy my cravings by burning a sparrow.

But now Liu Qingshan will definitely not do this kind of thing again, just treat it as a memory and cherish it in memory.

A home defense battle ended with Yanzi's victory, and the two thieves from their hometown didn't know where they flew.

It is estimated that this time it has completely left a psychological shadow, and if you see the scissors tail in the future, you will have to fly around.
