Chapter 155 Encounter with Ma Liang
Chapter 155 Encounter with Ma Liang
Each big bun is bigger than an adult's fist, steaming hot and fragrant.
A big bun costs 2 cents, so Xu Dahai ordered 5 buns and almost ran out of two baskets of buns.
I went to buy beer and popsicles, and when I passed by someone else's vegetable garden, I asked for some fresh green onions and peppers.
Riding on the mule cart, we wandered out of the rural streets, and large tracts of farmland began to appear on both sides.
There are tall sorghum fields, cornfields, rice fields with low-hanging ears, and wheat fields that have been harvested.
The fields of wheat stubble stretch as far as the eye can see, and a large number of birds rise and fall, pecking at the wheat grains that have fallen to the ground.
There were also many women wearing headscarves, and children were happily picking ears of wheat. After picking them up, they tied them into bundles and carried them home in baskets to exchange for watermelons.
Even though they were far away, Xu Dahai could still feel their happiness.
"Ah~fuck it! This cold beer tastes so good!"
"These meat buns are not bad, Hier~ Whoever has unfinished chili, give me one!"
"Let me tell you, let's not sell this half-sized wild boar to Park Soo-sung. We can just take it back to the village, kill it, stew it in a pot, and drink it with some wine. How beautiful!"
"That's right! The meat of this kind of semi-large wild boar is the most delicious and tender! The last time I ate this kind of semi-large wild boar was a few years ago!"
Everyone agreed.
The heat wave was rolling, and the wind blew up bursts of dust, like a puff of gray mist.
The leaves of some trees on the roadside were wilted in the sun, cicadas were chirping, and occasionally one or two large grasshoppers flew by quickly.
Row, row, row~
Its wings flap the air and make a loud sound, flying very far away. Many children chase this big grasshopper, but most of them are in vain.
Rong Chenglin sat on the right side of Xu Dahai, holding the last meat bun and eating:
"This kind of grasshopper is called the Big Green Wolf. It flies so fast. When I was a kid, I chased this kind of grasshopper for two miles. My throat was so tired that smoke was coming out, but I didn't catch it."
Xu Dahai knew that this kind of grasshopper, whose scientific name seems to be called Cloud-spotted locust, is simply the king of grasshoppers. It has a round head, is strong and thick, and the big ones can grow up to five centimeters long...
Probably because they have green color on both sides of their body and they are big, so they are called Big Green Wolf.
In an instant, other people also started talking.
Catching grasshoppers, catching toads, hunting squirrels, digging out bird's nests, fishing for crickets, trapping rabbits, pheasants, etc. Everyone couldn't help but reminisce about the interesting things in their childhood.
There are also some other militiamen walking on the roadside, or resting under the roots of trees when they are tired.
Seeing Xu Dahai and the others sitting leisurely on the mule cart, not having to walk by themselves, and having beer to drink, other militiamen cast envious glances.
Sudden.
A person suddenly jumped out from the crowd on the roadside.
"Xiaohai, wait for me! Wait for me!!" A rough man bared his big teeth and ran over with excitement on his face.
Xu Dahai took a closer look and found that it was his classmate Ma Liang - Ma Er Lengzi.
Rub~
Ma Liang jumped directly onto the mule cart, and suddenly the weight increased, causing the mule pulling the cart to scream.
"Xiaohai! What a fate, we can meet here! Speaking of which, where did you hire the mule cart?"
Ma Liang has a strong build and carries a shotgun on his back, but his face is covered with dust, dirt, oil and sweat, and he looks like someone who has lost his soul and is fleeing.
However, his teeth were quite white and his eyes were very bright. He glanced at the meat bun in Xu Dahai's hand from time to time.
"Hire them from the countryside and deliver them to your doorstep for two yuan... I also have a meat bun here, do you want to eat it?"
"Ah, that's so embarrassing, thank you!" Ma Liang's hands were quick, he took the meat buns and started gobbling them down, like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"I'm just being polite to you, do you really eat it?" Xu Dahai laughed loudly: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you!"
"Which one of us is following which one? Hier~ I'm a little choked. Brother, give me a sip of beer."
Ma Liang took the beer bottle from Rong Chenglin's hand and took a sip directly.So cool~
"I just had a sip of millet porridge this morning and didn't eat at noon. I was really starving to death."
We chatted and ate along the way, and it was already afternoon when we returned to Xujiatun'er.
When Xu Dahai returned home, his wife Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi were not at home.
The big orange cat is not afraid of the sun and is sleeping on the eaves.
Four hunting dogs jumped out from the backyard. They were so excited when they saw Xu Dahai that they almost went crazy!
Jumping and jumping, running and fussing, this one pounced on the left, the other pounced on the right, a paw kicked Xu Dahai on the back and almost knocked him over.
"Silly dog! Be honest!!"
Xu Dahai stayed with them for a while, then took out the key from under the brick in the corner of the window sill, opened the door and entered the house.
Unload all the bullets and hang the shotgun on the wall.
Take off your short sleeves to reveal your muscular upper body, wipe off the sweat, and drink a lot of cold water. It's a pleasure!
"Meow~meow~"
When the big orange cat saw him coming back, he quickly followed the wall, lowered the firewood pile to the ground... rushed into the house, kept barking with a clip sound, and rubbed his calf with its furry body.
"These past few days have been really tiring, but the benefits are also huge. Let's go tomorrow and dig back all the wild ginseng."
Xu Dahai moved a small bench and sat at the door. The breeze was blowing, which was really cool and comfortable.
snore snort snort~
The big orange cat climbed onto his lap with its little paws, lay down quietly with a contented look on his face, and kept snoring.
Play with the cat and tease the dog.
After resting for a while, Xu Dahai took the big orange cat aside and changed all his clothes and shoes.
swipe swipe~
Apply washing powder, wash all the clothes in a big basin, and then use a shoe brush to brush the shoes.
bell bell~
The sound of bicycles could be heard on the dirt road in the southwest. It was his wife Wang Xiuxiu who was returning with her daughter Xiaotingzi.
"Xiao Tingzi! Lower your head!"
After Xiao Tingzi quickly lowered her head, Wang Xiuxiu swung her right leg back, her right foot got off the pedal, and her left foot was still on the left pedal.
The body is on the left and the car is on the right.
I kept my body close to the car and drove for a few more meters before getting in and out of the car completely.
"Look, Xiao Tingzi, your dad is back!"
"Dad~"
The little girl got down from the back seat and quickly jumped into Xu Dahai's arms with her short legs.
"Wait a minute. It's such a hot day. Did you go to the valley with your mother?"
"Yeah, we also broke off the corns, pulled out the beans and long fruits!"
Wang Xiuxiu pushed the car into the yard. Since her family bought a new car, she has been riding it everywhere.
The old car is almost falling apart. Not only is it hard to pedal, it rattles when pedaling, but it also tends to fall off the chain. It is completely incomparable to a new car.
"Xiao Hai, you don't have to clean your shoes. I'll clean them later. When did you come back?"
