After a long time, Cai Yazhi still couldn't help but whispered: "This is not a bad thing."

Zhang Taiping looked back at her and said with a smile: "Do you want me to be the village chief?"

Cai Yazhi quickly shook her head and said: "No, no, I just feel good." At the end of the sentence, her voice gradually became as low as a mosquito.

Zhang Taiping said: "It's not that I don't want to do things for the villagers, but my temper really can't bear to be restrained by this."

Cai Yazhi nodded and stopped talking.

It didn't take long for Zhang Taiping to temporarily forget about this matter. It was still early. The old village chief said that he was abdicating now. It might just be a way to nip in the bud. There was always a chance for him to shirk the matter.

past.

After a while, Zhang Taiping entered the bedroom and asked why it was so quiet right now. It turned out that a group of children were watching Journey to the West in front of the big TV. Wukong was among them, squatting in front of the TV and watching attentively. It seemed that

I was impressed by the loud sound inside.

After Zhang Taiping came in, he said to Ye Ling: "Ling'er, go to the backyard and cut a few plates of sunflower seeds with a knife for the kids to eat while they watch."

Children like to see in Zhang Taiping's house. On the one hand, the large LCD color TV has many cable TV channels, but on the other hand, Zhang Taiping's family will put some snacks for the little ones from time to time. And

Sitting on a small bench at home and watching a small black and white or small color TV. Sitting on a wooden chair covered with soft cushions while eating snacks and watching a large color TV is simply a great enjoyment.

During Grain Rain, when he was planting melons and beans, Zhang Taiping planted a circle of sunflowers around the yard and orchard. This was the harvest season. The sunflower seeds on the plate were plump and oily, which was a good thing to fill his mouth in his spare time.

.

Not long after Ye Ling went out, he brought back five plate-sized sunflower seeds. The children were naturally very happy and carefully put the melon seed peels in a pile without throwing them on the ground.

When Wukong heard the noise behind him, he jumped over and grabbed a plate arrogantly. Then he jumped in front, holding the sunflower seeds in his arms and not eating them. He was immersed in the TV.

Zhang Taiping smiled and came out of the bedroom, just in time to see Fan Ming and Da Nier walking in from the outside, followed by Er Ni.

Da Nier just entered college this year, so she is about eighteen years old. Children in the village generally go to school a year or two later, so she may be older. Fan Ming is also at this age, and will go to the village when he has nothing to do.

Go and have a look, two days ago the villagers were talking about Da Nier who was admitted to college. Fan Ming also went over to take a look curiously. They became friends after going back and forth, and ran to Da Nier's house when nothing happened, but Da Nier

This is the first time for my son to come home with Fan Ming.

After seeing Zhang Taiping, Da Nier quickly stopped and said hello to Zhang Taiping: "Hello, handsome uncle."

Zhang Taiping nodded and asked with a smile: "Let's play with Fan Ming."

Before Da Nier could say anything, Fan Ming had already pulled her inside: "Let's go quickly. I'll apply for a QQ account for you. We can keep in touch after you get to university."

Er Nier, who was very friendly, did not dare to look up at him. It seemed that the impression he had on the little girl was still the same as a year ago.

At this time, Cai Yazhi carried the climbing crane Yingfalcon from the back room and saw Da Nier and Er Nier following Fan Ming into Fan Ming's bedroom. She asked Zhang Taiping: "Are those Da Nier and Er Nier?"

Nier?"

Zhang Taiping nodded and said: "Well, it's the two sisters.

Cai Yazhi replied: "I'll dig some potatoes."

"Can the potatoes be dug?" Zhang Taiping asked.

Cai Yazhi nodded and said: "It hasn't grown to its full size yet, but it's ready to eat. Some of the pumpkins on the edge of the orchard are also ripe. It's time to dig some potatoes and pick two pumpkins. We can eat pumpkins to cover ourselves at night."

Pumpkin quilt is to steam pumpkin pieces and potato pieces covered with flour quilt. After it is cooked, it is dipped in spicy water and eaten. This was once the favorite food of mountain people.

Zhang Taiping took the white chair from her hand. It's okay, let's go together."

The potato spot was placed where the sweet potatoes were planted last year. Cai Yazhi used her hands to push aside the vines above to expose the roots below. This made it easier to cut the potato, save effort, and be careful not to dig the potato in half.

Naturally, Zhang Taiping did the hard work. This year, it was already very different from last year. Not only did Zhang Taiping's strength and skills improve greatly, but his mentality was also different.

After digging out half the bag without any effort, Cai Yazhi said: "Okay, that's it. It's enough for a few days. The rest will be left in the ground to grow for a few days."

Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi sat down to clean the soil from the potatoes and put them in the bag. Then the two began to look around the edge of the orchard, turning all the pumpkin vines over, so that not only could the pumpkin inside be exposed, but it was also a kind of

Although I don’t know the reason for the behavior that is beneficial to the growth of pumpkins, the accumulated experience that people have accumulated over time still makes some sense.

Cai Yazhi said happily: "There are a lot of melons, especially the half-sized melons that are hard to count, and there are still many flowers that are still blooming." But then she was worried, "How can I eat so many flowers?"

Well, there were still too many planted at that time. In previous years, I only planted five or six plants and that was enough."

Zhang Taiping found it a bit funny that she was a small farmer thinking about gains and losses, and said: "Don't worry about this at all. If you don't finish it, you can sell it."

"Does anyone want this?" Cai Yazhi asked. Her way of eating pumpkin is still on "pumpkin covered with quilt". In her thoughts, city people don't eat this kind of food and only eat it with a big old bowl.

People in the mountains only eat pumpkins to cover their children.

Zhang Taiping said with certainty: "You can rest assured about this. Although pumpkins are not particularly rare in the city, they are not many and they are not cheap. They cost several yuan per pound, and a large pumpkin can be sold for just a few dollars."

It’s twenty or thirty yuan.”

"Do people in the city really eat pumpkin?" Cai Yazhi asked in surprise.

Zhang Taiping couldn't laugh or cry: "City people are human beings too, so why don't they eat pumpkin? There are many ways to eat pumpkin, but the way they eat it is different from ours."

Cai Yazhi stuck out her tongue cutely like Fan Ming and said: "I thought city people didn't eat pumpkins."

This is probably not her idea alone. Although we have entered the 21st century with the rapid development of information, people living in the mountains seem to be isolated from the world. Zhang Taiping here feels like it is still at the end of the 20th century. The people in the village

It is somewhat sacred to city dwellers.

He smiled and said nothing more.

Cai Yazhi turned over another vine, revealing a pancake-shaped pumpkin as big as a basin. She pinched it with her nails, but no juice came out, and said, "That's it. I don't know if I can eat it late tonight."

.”

Zhang Taiping unloaded the pumpkin and said, "Just do it, there are still three of them, Ah Huang."

As soon as the two of them returned home, they heard Yaya's crisp voice saying: "Wukong, give me the remote control, or I will tell Auntie Fantong and ask her to take care of you."

Obviously Wukong didn't give her the TV remote control, Yaya said again: "I really went to tell her."

I just don’t know why, but this threat, which had always worked every time in the past, has lost its effect today.

When Zhang Taiping entered, Wukong was squatting in front of the TV, holding the remote control and pressing it repeatedly. The picture on the TV kept changing.

When Yaya saw Zhang Taiping back, she came forward to complain and said: "Dad, today's five episodes of Journey to the West have been finished, but Wukong still wants to watch it, and he presses the remote control randomly."

Zhang Taiping went over and asked for the remote control from Wukong's hand. Although Wukong squeaked and was very reluctant, he did not dare to disobey Zhang Taiping's order, and finally put the remote control in Zhang Taiping's oozing hole.

On the hand.

After handing the remote control to Yaya, Zhang Taiping turned on his computer and searched for the TV series Journey to the West. He asked Yaya: "How many episodes have you seen?"

Yaya replied: "Fifteen episodes."

Zhang Taiping clicked on episode 15 and waved to Wukong to signal him to come over. Wukong jumped up to Zhang Taiping and when he saw the monkey on the screen, he jumped a few times with joy.

Zhang Taiping showed it a few simple uses of the mouse. It didn't require it to be very proficient, as long as it could click on the numbers in the first and second episodes.

Wukong is indeed extraordinary and has a strong imitation ability. He used the mouse to look at cats and tigers and soon learned how to open the next episode. Zhang Taiping let him sit in front of the computer and watch it. Unexpectedly, he opened the first episode and started from the beginning.

I don’t know why the usually restless monkey was so patient when watching Journey to the West.

It was almost dark when the Wang sisters came out of Fan Ming's room.

Fan Ming said: "Brother, I'll ask Da Nier to add your QQ. You can confirm it later."

Zhang Taiping nodded. Basically, people who have just started to use computers start from QQ, and they will add a lot of strangers at first, just because of the novelty. Later, they will slowly delete all these strangers.

Leave the people you know behind.

Zhang Taiping said: "Let's go after eating."

Fan Ming was also advising from the side: "Yes, let's go after eating. It's not far anyway."

Da Nier smiled and said, "No, my mother must have cooked the meal at home. If you don't go back, it will be left over." After that, she pulled Er Ni and ran away.

Fan Ming was a little surprised by the "pumpkin quilt" for dinner. She had never seen it eaten this way before. She just picked out the pumpkin and ate it, and gave all the potatoes to Ah Huang next to her.

.

And Wukong was completely obsessed with Journey to the West. Even when eating, he would hold his special bowl and lie in front of the computer while eating and reading.

ps: Chapter 10 is finally finished. I have a twitching feeling in my head, and I feel a little dizzy when I walk out of the room. But I still shout: please flowers, please publicity, please spread, please everything!
