Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 189: The Return of Yan (1/2)

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

The little fourth child was standing in the middle of the queue, jumping up and down in a hurry. After working all morning, he was really hungry, especially after seeing other children eating and chewing as hard as they could.

Liu Jinfeng also suppressed laughter: "Fourth and fifth, yours are in the house, I've left them all for you."

But the little old man shook his antenna braid vigorously: "No, this is what I deserve for my hard work!"

What you said makes sense. Liu Qingshan also felt that Lao Si’s spirit was worth encouraging. If you put in hard work, you should be rewarded, so he also helped share the tea eggs.

They were all divided quickly, and the fastest one finished one. As for the remaining one, they were definitely reluctant to eat it.

After the children had dispersed, Liu Jinfeng also took out a tea egg from the pot. She had not tasted it yet after working for so long.

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

I only feel that my mouth is filled with the fragrance of tea leaves and the fragrance mixed with other seasonings. It is really no worse than meat.

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

In fact, it means cracking the egg shells with the back of a spoon, and then adding some firewood to the stove pit from time to time.

Unexpectedly, tea eggs cooked like this taste so good.

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

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

"That's right, if you sell tea eggs near a city station, you might be able to sell them to a household worth 10,000 yuan."

Liu Qingshan remembers a saying that became popular later: Those who build atomic bombs are not as good as those who sell tea eggs.

At a certain stage, this sentence really reflected the current social situation at that time.

The fourth child ate two tea eggs in one go, feeling a little unsatisfied.

Just when I was thinking about whether to have another one, I heard Shan Xing suddenly cheering:

"Ah, our little swallow is back!"

After hearing what she said, everyone noticed that there was indeed a pair of swallows on the clothesline made of wire.

They were combing their feathers with their small beaks, and they didn't know when they flew back.

Liu Qingshan touched Shan Xing’s watermelon head: “Our Shan Xing is still the most attentive.”

Shan Xing was a little embarrassed to praise him, but the little fourth boy raised his head and looked at it carefully. After looking at it, he also cheered:

"Wow, another pair of swallows has arrived and built a nest under the eaves of our house!"

Her voice attracted both grandma and Lin Zhi to stand in the yard with smiles on their faces.

According to local rural saying: Swallows are auspicious birds, and they do not build nests under the eaves of any house. They only choose harmonious and happy families.

Therefore, it is regarded as a good sign for any house that has swallows building their nests.

Even those who keep cats at home have trained their cats to be obedient and not dare to harm the swallows.

The little baby at home has also been warned by the adults long ago not to hurt the swallows, or anything like poking the bird's nest and blinding it.

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

At this time, Yang Hongying also finished washing and came to the courtyard from her grandfather's house. She was fascinated to see the swallows building their nests.

I saw two swallows flying around, holding small mud balls in their mouths. Inside the mud balls, there was a small straw stick wrapped in them.

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

When people plaster mud walls, they always mix wheat roe or chopped grass into the mud. They probably learned this from swallows.

Small mud balls are stuck to the wall by the little swallows, and slowly build up into a small bowl-shaped bird's nest, and then you can give birth to children in it.

This bird's nest is their home.

"It's so hard, little Yanzi."

Xiao Laosi muttered.

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

Yang Hongying seemed to be inspired.

Liu Jinfeng poked Gao Wexue beside him: "We should build a house too."

Gao Wenxue took Xiao Huo out to bask in the sun. After listening to his wife's words, he nodded vigorously.

Liu Qingshan also sang softly in his mouth: "Yan Yan flies away, and his son returns..."

Yang Hongying was stunned for a moment. This was a sentence from the Book of Songs. She didn't expect Sanfeng to understand this.

"It is wrong to look down on people. The reason why swallows are loved by people is because in ancient times, people regarded them as their married daughters."

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

"The arrival of swallows in spring is like a married daughter returning to her parents' home. Think about it, of course you must treat your daughter well."

"So that's it."

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

You little devil, Liu Jinfeng smiled and poked her gently on the forehead.

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

"Sanfeng, your ears are itchy, right?"

Yang Hongying's pretty face turned slightly red, and she tried to come over and pinch Liu Qingshan's ears.

Liu Qingshan waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, don't scare the little swallow. The little swallow will take a look and realize that this family is not good. They are bickering all day long. Let's build a nest in someone else's house."

Although she knew that he was talking nonsense, Yang Hongying still stopped and continued to watch the swallows building their nests.

And the little old fourth suddenly thought: "Are these two little swallows in the new nest the children of the big swallow last year?"

It's true, one of them is probably true.

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

The fourth child who was praised also smiled: "This swallow is just like our family, with grandparents. In the future, the little swallows will be like a small fire, a harmonious and warm family, hehe."

Everyone smiled when they heard it. Isn't this what everyone wants?

At lunch, everyone tasted the remaining tea eggs, and everyone said they were delicious.

Mother Linzhi said with a smile: "Wait until May Day, and then boil tea eggs."

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

Those picked in the morning have been spread out in the yard for drying. Elderly people like Grandpa Guaizi and Grandma San are watching nearby.

Under the sun and the spring breeze, the food dried in this natural state must taste better than those dried by machines.

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

This is not nonsense. Take bracken for example. There is a big difference between drying in the sun and drying on the kang.

After the bracken is soaked in water, it is still very fresh and tender; the bracken dried on the kang tastes more woody. wAp.

Some things are so magical.

The picking team finished work early. When they returned to the village, a few kids asked: "Brother Qingshan, are there any rewards?"

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

The kids cheered and then dispersed.

Liu Qingshan decided to make this kind of reward a rule: as long as the kids participate in the labor, whether it is planting trees or collecting, they will be given a small reward.

It's just tea eggs. Eggs will definitely be the most abundant thing in the future.

When Liu Qingshan and his friends returned home, they heard chirping and noisy under the eaves.

Little Lao Si was sharp-eyed and shouted, "The swallows and the old thieves are fighting!"

The old thieves are sparrows.

Because sparrows like to build nests in the thatched roofs of the house, they fly away sneakily when they see people, so they are called old thieves.

Why did they fight?

Liu Qingshan was not biased. They are all birds, and they can't discriminate against old thieves just because they have a bad reputation.

Shanxing was usually careful and pointed to the swallow's nest under the eaves and said:

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

So that's it. Everyone soon figured it out: the old thieves can't build nests by themselves, so they occupy the bird's nest when the swallows fly away in winter.

Now that the swallows are back, the old thieves probably want to continue to occupy the bird's nest, which made the little swallows angry, and then the war broke out.

This war can be called a "home defense war."

Including Liu Qingshan, everyone immediately stood on the side of the swallows.

After all, it was a house built by someone else with mud. It was a generous gesture to let you live there for a winter for free and not to charge you rent.

The fourth and fifth brothers shouted loudly to cheer for the little swallows.

In fact, the swallows had already gained the upper hand and chased the two thieves away.

The reason was simple: there were so many swallows.

They were a very united bird. Not only the four swallows in Liu Qingshan's house, but also more than a dozen swallows nearby, all joined the battle.

Liu Qingshan saw with his own eyes one year that a bird eagle flew into the village to scout for chicks.

It happened to be the breeding season for swallows, and as a result, all the swallows in the village flew into the sky, as many as one or two hundred, and chased away all the bird eagles.

The eagles were no match for the thieves, who were chased and pecked by the swallows. One of them was so panicked that it flew directly into the house through the open door.

Then it wanted to fly out, flapping its wings and bumping against the glass.

Liu Qingshan felt that the old thief was quite pitiful, so he caught it in his hand and released it outside.

The old thief didn't know what was good for him, and pecked at Liu Qingshan's hand with his little mouth.

"You are a heartless person, believe it or not, I will throw you into the stove and roast you."

If Liu Qingshan was really the boy he used to be, he would definitely do this. In his memory, he often took sparrows with Datou and Erbiaozi in winter.

It was cold here in winter, and the old thieves would crawl on the rafters, which was sheltered from the wind and warm.

When it was night, he took a flashlight and shone it. The sparrows were blinded, so they would shrink their heads back and didn't know how to run away.

At this time, he would climb up the wooden ladder, cover it with his hands, and catch the old thief alive.

After it fell to death, he would throw it under the stove or in the stove and roast it. It was roasted until it was mushy. A little sparrow was shared by three friends.

At that time, we could only eat meat a few times a year, and roasting a sparrow could also satisfy our cravings.

But now Liu Qingshan will definitely not do such things again. Just treat it as a memory and treasure it in memory.

A battle to defend the homeland ended with the victory of the swallows, and the two old thieves flew away.

It is estimated that this time it will leave a complete psychological shadow. In the future, if you see a scissor tail, you will have to fly around it.

March, early spring.

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.

The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.

The streets that were bustling in the past are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fur had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, swept through his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog, and sometimes vigilantly observing the surroundings.
