In the next few days, people would come and go in a hurry whether they had something to do or not, and the whole village first appeared to be a busy scene.

However, Zhang Taiping has actually stayed at home for a few days. There are dedicated people in charge of the things that have been decided, so he can't worry about it, so he has been thinking about the sedan at home these days.

.

Although he has the skill of a carpenter, he must be someone who lives in a small mountain village and has limited knowledge. Most of the things he makes are ordinary furniture and farm tools. Naturally, he does not know how to make this sedan. However, modern

One good thing about society is that if you don’t understand something, you can look up information online, and there is basically nothing you can’t find.

For the past two days, Zhang Taiping has been sitting alone on the desk in front of the computer, collecting information from the Internet and drawing sketches based on his own imagination.

After finally finishing the sketch, the next thing became easier, which was just finding the right wood to make it.

Originally, sedans were carried by people, so the consideration of weight was very important. The wood should not only be light but also strong. However, the sedan made by Zhang Taiping was not intended to be carried by people at all. In his plan,

This sedan was made to appeal to the local people, just like

It's like the phoenix chariot in ancient times. If it were to be pulled by people, it would take at least eight people. He planned to install wheels underneath and use horses to pull it, which would not only look dignified and imposing but also save manpower. Therefore, the use of wood

The requirements are not very high, just hardness is enough.

It is difficult to find other things in the mountains, but wood is definitely the best to find, so there is nothing to worry about.

Zhang Taiping has been lying in front of the computer as if he has been possessed by a demon these past few days. He has just left the matter of picking up Yaya and Tiantian to school, so he doesn't know that the little girl is on vacation again.

When I went out, I saw two little girls tinkering in the yard. I looked at the sky and saw that it was still morning. Then I looked at my watch. It was indeed only after nine o'clock. I couldn't help but asked strangely: "Why didn't you go to school?"

?”

The two little girls turned around and saw Zhang Taiping coming out. They got up and ran over and said, "We have a holiday, three days."

"It's a holiday again, what kind of holiday?" Didn't we just have the National Day holiday? Why did we have another holiday within two days?

"Mid-Autumn Festival holiday." said the little girl Tiantian.

"It's August 15th?" Zhang Taiping couldn't help but be slightly surprised. He rarely pays attention to the date at home. He doesn't know the solar calendar, let alone the lunar calendar. He didn't expect that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival before he knew it.

He asked Yaya: "Where is your mother?"

"I went to the mountain to pick chrysanthemums." Yaya replied.

"Oh." Zhang Taiping responded. It is indeed customary in the mountains to go up the mountain to pick some wild chrysanthemums on August 15th and come back to make tea and drink them in the evening. "Why didn't you go?"

"Tiantian and I are going to plant prickly pears." The little girl said as she opened her hands, which contained two small prickly pears in paper boxes.

Zhang Taiping pinched it, looked at it and asked, "Where did the cactus come from?"

"Dad, be careful, there are thorns on it, it pricked my hand just now." Little girl Tiantian shouted from the side.

Zhang Taiping said: "It doesn't matter." He put the cactus in the palm of his hand and rolled it. With his thick skin and thick flesh, these small thorns would definitely not be able to penetrate.

"The teacher gave this to us. Let us take it back and plant it in a flower pot. Water it every day and it will grow up after a while." When the two little girls saw that Zhang Taiping was really not afraid of the thorns on them, they cut off the two little cactus.

Tell me where you came from.

"Then where are you planning to go again?"

"No, it's inside that basin." Yaya pointed to the corner where the two of them were squatting just now, and there was a broken plastic basin.

Zhang Taiping smiled and said: "That pot is broken. Here, I will give you two flower pots. Plant them in the flower pots and put them on the table."

Zhang Taiping took out two ceramic flower pots for the two little girls. The fist-sized flower pots were just perfect for placing prickly pear plants.

After the little girls took it, they were ready to add soil from the broken plastic pot into it.

Zhang Taiping said: "When planting prickly pear and cacti, it is best to put some sand inside."

"Why?" The little aunts were puzzled. Planting things were always planted in the soil, and they had never seen them planted in the sand before.

Zhang Taiping replied: "The most suitable place for cacti and prickly pear to grow is the desert. They already grow in the sand. Now if you put some sand in it, it will be suitable for them to grow."

The two little girls naturally followed their father's instructions and added some soil and sand inside, and then prepared to bury the cactus inside.

Zhang Taiping added: "It's not planted like this. It just needs to be placed on top and watered a little."

After teaching the two little girls to plant prickly pears, Zhang Taiping originally wanted to go to the village to have a look, but the two little girls caught up from behind and said, "Dad, the hawthorns on the mountain are ripe. Let's go to the mountain to pick hawthorns?"

He took out a dark red hawthorn from his pocket and placed it in the palm of his hand.

"Who gave this to you?" Zhang Taiping put the hawthorn inside and tasted it. It was strong and sour with a little sweetness, but that's the taste of hawthorn.

"Wang Xuetong gave it to us." Yaya replied.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain and pick hawthorns." Zhang Taiping said with a smile.

The two little girls cheered, rushed into the house, took out two bamboo baskets, and called out the little grizzly bear. After half a year of growth, the little grizzly bear was as big as an ordinary native dog. Wukong also jumped out of the house.

come out.

"This guy didn't follow your mother to the mountains?" Zhang Taiping wondered.

"No." Yaya replied, "It is watching TV in the house."

"Did the TV turn off when you came out?" Zhang Taiping asked Wukong.

I scratched my head and jumped into the house. Soon I came out with a bag in my hand.

The hawthorn trees on the mountain were not planted by the people in the mountains themselves, but were sown by planes a few years ago when they were sowing seeds on the mountain. There were only dozens of hawthorn trees growing sporadically on a small hill. Because no one was managing the wild trees, the trees

The fruits are not dense, but fortunately they can bear fruit every year. Adults are not interested in this, so it becomes a snack for children at this time.

Zhang Taiping led another little girl, followed by the restless Wukong and the little Grizzly Bear who was a little too active. Only Ghostface followed behind him in the most steady manner.

When the hawthorns are ripe, they are all red. Even the leaves of the tree are red. It is difficult to distinguish the leaves from the fruits. Only when you walk closer can you see that the hawthorn fruits are more vividly red than the leaves, like clusters of burning

of flame.

The most famous effect of hawthorn is to strengthen the stomach, nourish the spleen, and ventilate the air. It is a good medicine for treating abdominal distension and indigestion.

In rural areas, the most common medicine people take when they have indigestion is "Dashanzha Pill", which is made from hawthorn.

When they reached the top of the hill, Wukong climbed up the tree, picked out the bright red fruits, and put them in his mouth.

The first one made him grin, it was so sour. But he didn't spit it out because animals know better than humans what is good for them and what is bad for them. After thousands of years of human evolution,

As intelligence increases, these innate senses gradually degrade and become inferior to animals.

"Wukong, throw some down." Yaya and Tiantian shouted from under the tree.

When Wukong heard this, he quickly picked a few bunches and threw them down. The two little girls picked up the ones scattered on the ground and put them into the basket. The little grizzly bear also grabbed one and swallowed it in his mouth, and then spit it out. It tasted sour.

But I can't stand it.

Wukong was eating and throwing them down on the tree. Under the tree, two little girls ran back and forth like butterflies and picked up the hawthorns that had fallen on the grass. Ghostface stood by the tree and looked at the two little girls and listened.

Taiping's arrangement was loyally guarded. But the little grizzly bear had long since disappeared without knowing where it was.

Zhang Taiping looked around the hawthorn trees, selected some branches, folded them and put them in the space, and then transplanted them to the hillside inside the space.

It was almost noon when Zhang Taiping's phone rang.

"Are Yaya and Tiantian with you?" Cai Yazhi asked.

"Together."

"I was shocked. I thought I couldn't find them again. The food is ready, come back and eat."

Zhang Taiping responded and hung up the phone, shouting to the two little girls: "We're meeting for dinner."

When he heard the shouting, the first one to run over was Wukong, followed by the two little girls carrying a basket full of hawthorns.

"Let me carry it," Zhang Taiping said. The basket weighed several kilograms, which was still a bit heavy for a little girl.

After the two little girls placed the basket in Zhang Taiping's hands, Wukong quickly removed the bag hanging from his neck and placed it in Zhang Taiping's hands.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You are the only smart guy."

Yaya and Tiantian walked beside Zhang Taiping, stroking their bellies and saying, "I'm so hungry."

Wukong also followed suit and touched his belly and let out a squeak, waving in front of him to tell the three of them to go faster.

Zhang Taiping ignored Wukong and said to the two little girls with a smile: "Hawthorn helps digestion. The more you eat, the faster your digestion will be and the faster you will get hungry. Whoever ate the most just now will be hungrier now."

The two little girls said with bright smiles: "Wukong is the hungriest. He ate the most just now."

"Why don't you see the little grizzly bear?" Tiantian looked around and asked.

Zhang Taiping noticed that the little guy was missing a long time ago, but now it was very familiar with the nearby hills and was not worried about losing it, so he said: "No matter, let's meet and eat first. It will come back when it is hungry."

Halfway through, the little grizzly bear suddenly jumped out with a rabbit in its mouth. The little guy threw the rabbit in front of Zhang Taiping with an expression asking for credit.

Zhang Taiping looked at the rabbit that was bitten to pieces and was a little dumbfounded. He patted its neck and said, "Well done, I'll reward you."

The little grizzly bear could understand Zhang Taiping's words, and he was overjoyed and started to feast again, eating a rabbit in just two bites.

When I got home, Cai Xiaomei was also there. Thinking about what day it was, I felt relieved. She didn't come back for the National Day. I heard that she went out to play with her classmates. Now it is natural to come back on August 15th. In most people's time,

In the concept of family reunion, this day should be the day for family reunion.

The happiest person was Xiao Yaya, who threw herself into Cai Xiaomei's arms and asked crisply: "When will aunt come back?"

"I came back just now." Cai Xiaomei kissed Yaya's little face and said with a smile.

"Why didn't my aunt come back during the National Day holiday?"

"My aunt went to Mount Emei for vacation, so she didn't come back." Cai Xiaomei explained to Yaya. Then she smiled at Cai Yazhi and said, "I heard that it's very effective to send a child to the empress in a temple at the foot of Mount Emei. Sister, do you want to go there with your elder brother sometime?

Want to have some fun?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Cai Yazhi laughed and cursed. After speaking, she glanced at Zhang Taiping, whose meaning was unclear.

"Auntie, do you want to eat hawthorn?" Yaya said to Cai Xiaomei.

"Have you gone to pick hawthorns?" Cai Xiaomei said, "Well, it's almost ripe by this time. Where are they?"

Zhang Taiping handed the basket in his hand to everyone, and everyone pinched two pills and tasted them. Everyone was so sour that they frowned.

"What are you eating? Why do everyone have such expressions?" Zhang Xiuxiu came in from the outside and asked. Shen Qingfeng was holding Xiao Yu'er next to him. What was rare was that he did not run around outside today, but came back early to accompany Xiao Yu'er.

Yaya and Tiantian sympathize with Xiao Yu'er very much, so if they have any delicious or fun things, they will share them with Xiao Yu'er without hesitation.

Although Shen Qingfeng seems to have lived here for a long time, he spends most of his time working outside and doesn't have many opportunities to interact with others, so he doesn't want to get acquainted with them. He just nodded and said hello.

While everyone was still talking, Wukong was already squatting at the door with a bowl and eating. This guy ate too many hawthorns in the morning, and his stomach must have been hungry for a long time. He ran in while everyone was talking in the yard.

I scooped myself a bowl of rice.

There were two people missing during lunch.

Zhang Taiping asked: "Where is the wood red fish?"

"Her sister came over in the morning to pick her up and go back to reunite with her. She will be sent over again in two days," Cai Yazhi said.

After lunch, Cai Yazhi put the wild chrysanthemums picked by her group in the morning in a dustpan and took them out for Zhang Taiping to put on the eaves to dry. She selected some of the better quality ones to make tea at night.

It tastes better than other teas at home, but this is just a custom.

It seems that the little animals also know that August 15th is the day of reunion. Xiao Zi and the big-tailed squirrel, which have been missing for many days, jumped down from the mountain in the afternoon. The two little things, one purple and one red, were shiny all over.

, very endearing.

The little squirrel was okay, with a docile temperament and could be hugged and petted, but Xiao Zi was extremely wary and would not let anyone get close except Zhang Taiping and Ye Ling.

As evening approached, the house suddenly became lively, with not only the chirping of Xiao Xi, but also the voices of several parrots.

Several grown-up little parrots stood in front of the TV. When the TV said something, they all said the same thing, which was a strange scene in the room.
