Chapter 190 Donald Duck, whose life is short
“Li Yao, what’s wrong? You are a big boy, why are you crying so sadly.”
Zhang An pulled Li Yao to his on his knees, helping to coax him.
“Uuuuuu, godfather, my mother dug up my Donald Duck to death.”
The little guy saw Zhang An coming, sniffed and complained to Zhang An.
When Zhang An heard this, he was a little confused. He looked at Li Yao and then at Zhou Lan.
No wonder Zhou Lan had an awkward expression on her face today. It turned out to be unreasonable.
Donald Duck is not that Donald Duck, but the name Li Yao gave to his pet duck.
Some time ago, Zhang An’s water ducks hatched a new brood of ducklings.
All the little ducks are half black and half yellow, but one of them looks a little strange.
It has no yellow hair, but half black hair and half white hair.
Zhang An probably has a genetic mutation and his yellow hair has degenerated into white hair.
Who knew that after Li Yao saw it, this little guy would fall in love with this strange little duck.
So he told Zhang An that he wanted to take this little duck home and raise it.
Li Yao had already spoken, so Zhang An naturally would not refuse. After all, this was his godson.
Let alone a little duck, even if he wanted a swan, Zhang An would probably find a way to catch it for him.
And Zhou Lan was also thinking that Li Yao has been a little too playful recently.
I run out every day after eating and rarely stay home.
It’s also good to get him something to curb his amusement.
In this way, the little duck was taken to Li Yao's home to raise, and Li Yao named it Donald Duck.
Seeing that his grandson liked it, Mr. Li personally made a nest for the duck.
Every day after coming back, Li Yao would feed Donald Duck with his own hands.
Not to mention, every time Li Yao wanted to run outside, Zhou Lan asked him whether he still cares about Donald Duck.
When Li Yao heard this, he thought, yes, he raised Donald Duck himself.
In this way, I slowly stopped playing, spent more time at home, and became obedient.
But now Li Yao said that Zhou Lan beat his Donald Duck to death.
Hearing this, Zhang An felt that he could no longer do it.
Looking at Zhou Lan, I wanted to know what was going on, otherwise I wouldn't be able to coax him.
"Sister Lan, what's going on?"
Seeing Zhang An ask, Zhou Lan explained the matter to Zhang An.
It turned out that it was today when Zhou Lan was following Mrs. Li to plow the ground and plant vegetables in the vegetable garden.
Li Yao's Donald Duck always likes to follow them and peck at the earthworms and bugs dug out of the ground.
Before Zhou Lan got married, her family was from a provincial capital.
Not to mention farming, even cooking was a surprise training given to her by Grandma Li Yao when she was about to get married.
However, after living in Changqing for such a long time, I also learned some things from Mrs. Li.
But Zhou Lan is too fierce, and her hoeing skills are quite accurate.
With a hoe, he knocked down Donald Duck who came over to peck at insects.
When she put away the hoe, Donald Duck had already lost his head and passed away to the west.
Poor Donald Duck, not long after he hatched from the egg, he had to go back to prepare for the next hatch.
And this scene happened to be seen by Li Yao who came back from school.
This is terrible, the house seems to be turned upside down.
If it were another family, whose child would dare to dance with the adults in the family like this.
But Li Hongbin’s family is different. When Zhou Lan educates Li Yao, she always likes to use reason to suppress him.
But today Zhou Lan didn't make any sense, so she could only coax Li Yao in a good voice.
But Li Yao didn't listen to her at this time. He was beaten many times during this period.
I just saw her knocking Donald Duck off with a hoe, and I always thought she was a bad person.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. It's just a duck. There are dozens more at my godfather's place. Just go over and get them."
Zhang Anyi Lift Li Yao onto his lap and coax him to behave first.
When children cry, you cannot let them cry all the time, especially boys.
From the time babies are born until they reach the age of ten, they should not be allowed to cry.
Because it is easy to cause problems in the body.
Now there are one or two in the village who were left crying by the elderly at home when they were young, until they burst into tears.
“I don’t want those ducks, they are not as good-looking as Donald Duck.”
It turns out that Zhang An’s words still have some weight.
After a few words of coaxing, Li Yao stopped crying, but his nose was still a little twitching.
Zhang An just doesn’t understand. They are all the same duck. Isn’t it just the difference between yellow fur and white fur?
How can there be such an obvious difference between these two colors? Why do I think the lighter white hair looks better?
Besides, after a while, when the duck grows up, these feathers will also fall off.
"Then be a good boy and I'll take you to see Sun Monkey."
The duck didn't work, so Zhang An moved the monkey out.
Li Yao likes Sun Wukong so much that Li Hongbin usually buys him a lot of Journey to the West novels at home.
When Journey to the West was played on TV, everyone stayed in front of the TV and watched without blinking.
But he is not the only one, all the dolls like it.
When Journey to the West was played at Li Yao’s house, a group of children didn’t go anywhere. They all stayed at their house.
Li Yao was so fascinated by watching TV, but Zhou Lan would not agree.
But with so many children in the village at home, she couldn't turn off the TV like this.
Because if she does this, some parents may have thoughts in their minds and call her stingy.
I thought we just went over to watch TV for a while, but why did the children turn off the TV as soon as they left?
As soon as Li Yao heard Zhang An talk about monkeys, he stopped crying immediately.
“Daddy, where are the monkeys?”
Although this monkey is common to the children in the village, they don't pay much attention to it.
But Li Yao was different. He had never seen it before.
As soon as he heard Zhang An talk about it, his attention was immediately drawn away.
“Want to see it?”
“Yes.”
Li Yao nodded quickly.
"If you want to see it, wipe your nose clean and wash your face. I will take you to find the monkey."
Hearing what Zhang An said, Li Yao wiped his nose immediately, Let your grandma wash your face.
He is still a little angry with Zhou Lan and doesn't want to deal with Zhou Lan.
“Hey, Zhang An, it seems like I gave you this son for nothing.”
Zhou Lan remembered that in normal times, Li Yao didn't really listen to anything she said.
But as long as Zhang An said a few words casually, Li Yao would immediately obey him.
"Don't, Sister Lan, you can't say this casually. It won't work if my brother Li hears it."
Zhang An didn't dare to accept this. What does it mean to give birth to me for free? .
How old was I when you gave birth to Li Yao? Don’t say this casually, it will cause big trouble.
"Besides, Li Yao is also my godson." Hearing Zhang An's glib tongue made Zhou Lan laugh.
"Godfather, I've finished washing, let's go."
In a few minutes, Li Yao had washed his face clean and ran out to urge Zhang Ann took him to see the monkeys.
Li Yao inherited most of his mother’s elegance.
This look of neither crying nor making trouble has a bit of a handsome temperament.
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Zhang An took Li Yao across the yard and walked towards his home.
Originally there was a ditch separating the two yards, and a wall was built when the house was built.
So if you want to go from Li Hongbin’s house to Zhang An’s house, you have to take the main road.
Li Hongbin thought it would be troublesome to walk like this, so he simply opened a door on the wall.
Call a few of his men over and build a small bridge over the ditch in the middle.
In this way, it will be much more convenient for the two families to visit each other.
In the pen room, the senior brother was lying on the ground sleeping.
Li Yao didn’t see it for a while and thought it was one of Zhang An’s puppies.
"Daddy, where's the monkey?"
"Well, that's it."
Zhang An said and called out to the lying monkey.
The monkey was sleeping well, but he was suddenly woken up by someone. Looking at it, it was clear that he was very unhappy now.
But when he looked up and saw that it was Zhang An, the person who woke it up was Zhang An, so it didn’t dare to snarl.
Instead, he got up and grinned at Zhang An.
“Godfather, Wukong, it’s Wukong.”
This macaque in Zhang An’s family is far from the one in the TV series.
But it’s not much different from the ones drawn in the little people’s books in Li Yao’s family.
Although the book says that Sun Wukong is a stone monkey, he looks like he has golden hair.
Zhang An guessed that Sun Wukong might be a golden monkey.
But the six-eared macaque at the back can pretend to replace it, and few people can tell the difference.
So Zhang An also felt that this Sun Wukong might also be a macaque.
This little guy Li Yao is like a prince in Zhang An’s family.
The animals at home except Huatou, who is afraid of him, and the little tiger.
No one else dared to disobey him, so they got used to it from time to time.
But he also has his own sense of propriety. When playing with Zhang An's animals, his hands are always gentle.
So even though the animals in the house are tired of him, after being targeted, they can only obey him obediently.
Today, when he saw this macaque, he immediately started playing a game.
But the monkey didn’t know Li Yao, so when he saw Li Yao he wanted to touch it.
He immediately bared his teeth and stretched out his hand to pinch Li Yao.
But before it could reach Li Yao, Zhang An reached out and gave it a brain-destroying blow.
The eldest brother, who was full of momentum just now, was buzzing in the head due to Zhang An.
At this time, it realized that the little two-legged beast in front of it had a strong backer behind it, and it was someone it could not provoke.
This monkey is no better than other animals in Zhang An's family, it is slightly smarter.
So when I saw Zhang An protecting Li Yao like this, I was immediately ready to accept the situation.
It’s just that it was grinning and looking ferocious just now.
Li Yao was really frightened, so he didn’t dare to take action now.
Perhaps he felt that this monkey was not well-behaved at all, so Li Yao was not interested in playing with it later.
It happened that Zhang Tie came over with some of Wang Baosheng’s children, and Li Yao quickly became involved with them.
Effortlessly forget about the incident where his mother quacked Donald Duck.
"Brother, are the watermelons in our house ripe? I saw that some of the watermelons have been eaten secretly, and there are watermelon rinds all over the floor."
As for Zhang An's watermelons, Zhang Tie More caring than Zhang An.
Mainly because there are few people growing watermelons in Zhang An’s place. In the past, all they grew were local melons.
Although it is delicious, the yield is pitifully low, so in order to maintain costs, watermelons are naturally more expensive.
So here, watermelon can be regarded as a luxury product among fruits, and many people are not willing to buy it.
Children like Zhang Tie have eaten watermelon so many times since they were little that they can use two fingers to finish it.
So this year Zhang An’s family planted melons, and they were all very concerned about it.
There is no need for Zhang An to go on patrol, they have to help Zhang An watch it every day.
When we went to clean up the small watermelons that were damaged by hail, they put in a lot of effort.
"Oh? How do you know it's a pup that ate it secretly?"
"It's said in the Chinese language book: Badgers, pigs, hedgehogs, and pupa are the ones to be taken care of. Under the moon, listen, there's a clanging sound, "I'm biting the melon."
Then Zhang Tie recited passages from "Young Runtu" to Zhang An.
This text is one of Mr. Lu Xun's "Hometown" trilogy. It was just compiled into the textbook for the sixth grade of primary school a few years ago.
When Zhang An and his friends were in elementary school, they were not blessed to enjoy this rich cultural heritage.
But only the children in the back can learn Mr. Lu Xun’s literature and spirit, that’s good.
"Okay, Zhang Tie, you have memorized this text so proficiently."
Now that Zhang Tie can memorize the text so familiarly in front of Zhang An, it is really a great improvement.
Because in the past, it was very difficult for Zhang Tie to pass even 60% in every exam.
In Zhang An’s memory, Zhang Tie’s academic performance began to rise starting last year.
He was praised by teachers in various subjects, and during the parent-teacher meeting, the third uncle also experienced the feeling of being praised.
"Brother, should we be like Runtu and guard the melon patch at night?"
When Zhang Tie thought of carrying a steel fork and catching jiu in the melon patch, he was like Runtu. As Tu said, how majestic.
"It's night for you too. Your parents will definitely not let you come out at night, so don't worry, just wait and eat the melon. As for stealing the melon, leave it to me. . ”
They usually have to go to school, and the adults at home usually send them to bed between nine and ten o’clock.
How could they be allowed to come out in the middle of the night? These times are not peaceful, and bandits who steal cattle and horses appear at night.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang An kept this in mind.
Due to the hailstorm in May, there were not many watermelons left in my melon patch.
There are still things coming to cause trouble now, and Zhang An will definitely not be able to spare them.
Zhang An didn’t know what a badger was, but he could only think of a few animals. He estimated that the mountain badger might be bigger.
This thing is also called a dog badger. It is about the same size as a pig badger and likes to eat what everyone grows in their fields.
It’s just that pig badgers are not very common here in Changqing, but there are quite a lot of badgers in this mountain.
So when everyone sees these guys, they usually try to catch them.
This not only protects the crops, but also turns them into badger seed oil to treat burns.
At ninety o'clock in the evening, the moon and stars were sparse in the sky, and there was only the sound of frogs outside.
Zhang An went out carrying a steel fork, intending to squat in the melon patch to see what was causing harm to his watermelons.
If this thing is not solved, the strawberry field next to it will definitely be in bad luck.
