Chapter 363 Ecological Regulation of Space
After talking with the two brothers for a long time, they did not continue to retain Zhang An.
But when Zhang An was taking Su Ying to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said to Yang Zhiquan next to him.
"I have to trouble you to find a red thread to tie my wife, because she just got pregnant."
This is an old rule in this place. Whenever someone is about to get old or is pregnant, Old people who are already old are tied to a red line with their masters.
Especially pregnant women, who are not relatives or friends, are generally not allowed to go to the place of death. Mr. Yang is still here, so there is no need to be so taboo.
But this old man probably only has a few days left, and this time he wakes up and feels like he has regained his senses.
So for the sake of the children, Zhang An still asked for a red line for their family.
Although there are some feudal superstitions, no matter whether it is true or false, if others don't believe it, Zhang An will believe it.
"This is what it should be. Then wait a moment, I will go find it right away."
Regarding Zhang An's request, Yang Zhi and his brothers felt that it was appropriate. After all, they were both over fifty, so it was impossible for them to not understand these rules.
Yang Zhiquan immediately went home and rummaged for a while, and found a few pieces of red wool. After bowing in front of the hall, he brought them to Zhang An and Su Ying to tie them.
Finally, the two brothers personally escorted Zhang An and the others out of the village. They were also secretly surprised when they saw Zhang An and the others driving.
Just now they thought Zhang An was supporting his old man all the way back, but they didn't expect that he was driving.
"Brother, this little brother's family is probably very good. This car is probably worth tens of thousands, I'm so stupid."
Yang Zhiquan watched the car drive away. Zhang An was filled with envy and surprise.
Although the standard of 10,000-yuan households has passed for many years, in rural areas, such an amount of money is really an astronomical figure.
"Second brother, this Zhang An is probably the Zhang An."
Yang Zhihe seemed to have remembered something and said to Yang Zhiquan beside him.
“Which Zhang An?” Yang Zhiquan looked puzzled.
"He's the one who led the people in his village to grow fruit. A few days ago, Yang Hongsong in our village asked someone to find him, but in the end they ignored him."
Er Daoyan talked to Chang Qing. It's not close, but it's not too far. It's not surprising that Yang Hongsong heard something about Chang Qing.
After all, these days, when everyone goes to the market, they don’t tell which village you are from and which village I am from.
While sitting together to take a breath, a large number of people exchanged information about their respective villages or other situations they knew.
"Hey, it's him. I didn't expect him to be so young. Our tigers seem to be older than him. He is indeed a capable person. But Yang Hongsong, that bastard, it's okay for others to ignore him. If you have something to do, look for him. Others don’t even bring anything with them, so who cares?”
When talking about Yang Hongsong in the village, Yang Zhiquan looked disdainful.
Including Yang Zhihe also nodded, not feeling that Zhang An did anything wrong at all.
“Okay, dad’s things should be prepared early. Although I don’t know if what Zhang An said is accurate, my dad is almost ninety. These things should really be prepared early, and it’s better to use others. To remind you, it is true that we did not do our best as sons."
Yang Zhihe put away other thoughts in his mind and discussed it with his second son, Yang Zhiquan, on the way back.
After all, it takes money to prepare those things, and both families have to pay for it together.
Although he didn't quite believe what Zhang An said, he should really take it to heart because his words were rough and unreasonable.
Even if the old man in the family can live for a few more years, if you don’t prepare those things now, you will have to prepare them later.
On the other side, Zhang An in the car didn't think about anything else and concentrated on driving his wife home.
I should have arrived home a long time ago, but something like this happened on the way. I sent Mr. Yang back and was delayed at their house for a while, which lasted two or three hours.
It wasn’t until almost five o’clock in the afternoon that the two returned to the village.
"How is it? What did the doctor say when I went to the hospital?"
As soon as Zhang An and Su Ying arrived home, Wang Fang couldn't wait to ask.
She wanted to ask yesterday, but she stopped on the phone as soon as she thought about it. She waited until her son and daughter-in-law were back before she spoke.
“I didn’t say much, I could only tell that it was there. I told you some things to pay attention to and then it was gone. We might as well watch it at home. They took two tubes of blood for nothing.”
Anyway, in hospitals these days, the most the pregnancy checkup will do is check whether you are pregnant, and wait until the fetus grows to see if the fetal position is correct.
As for other problems, they haven't reached that point yet, and they are really different from the pregnancy tests of later generations.
No wonder it cost more to go to the hospital for pregnancy check-up at that time. It is expensive for a reason.
"Let me tell you, your godfather is not wrong. In those years, he saw all the wives in the nearby villages."
Traditional Chinese medicine is a thing. , the older you get, the better you become. Zhang Yixing was already very powerful in the past.
It is impossible that after so many years, the medical skills are still the same as before, so Wang Fang is full of blind trust in Zhang Yixing.
"But it's okay. It's okay to go and take a look. It'll be reassuring to confirm."
This is not meant for her and Zhang Jianguo, but for the couple. If If they don't go to the hospital, they won't worry.
While Wang Fang was cooking, Zhang An thought about grabbing two crucian carp from the space and making a pot of crucian carp soup for Su Ying to drink.
After all, crucian carp soup is very nourishing and delicious. It is very suitable for women who are pregnant with children.
Especially in the middle and late stages of pregnancy and lactation, drinking more crucian carp soup can also promote lactation.
So in the village, when a daughter-in-law gives birth to a baby, the men in the family will find some crucian carp to wear with tofu and make soup to breastfeed their daughter-in-law.
But Zhang An searched all over the pond and found that there was not a single crucian carp in it.
Zhang An clearly remembers that in the past, he caught some and put them in the space to raise. How could it be gone?
Although there are fish with fine scales and yellow pepper fish in this fish pond, normally they only eat some small fry.
Even if you feed them big fish, they won’t be able to eat it. Crucian carp should not be eaten to extinction.
But at this time, he saw several huge black fish appearing in the fish pond, ferociously preying on the carp and grass carp inside.
Now Zhang An doesn’t worry about why there are no crucian carps anymore. They may have been eaten by these big guys long ago.
But a new question appeared in Zhang An's mind. When he got the snakehead fish, he clearly remembered that he had reopened a pond.
Because snakehead fish can be eaten by both big and small fish, Zhang An was afraid that they would eat up the fish in the pond, so he did not mix them together to raise them.
But now, what is going on with several such big black fish appearing in the big pond? Zhang An is a little confused.
These snake-headed, slippery, big guys looked like they weighed 20 or 30 pounds, so they must have sneaked in a long time ago.
Otherwise, he would not have noticed anything after such a long time.
If he hadn't come in specifically to look for crucian carp today, he wouldn't have noticed these big guys in the pond. Looking at its size, it must have eaten a lot of fish in the pond, otherwise it wouldn't have grown that big.
Zhang An, who couldn't figure it out, simply didn't bother to think about it. He probably mixed in a few fry when he put fish in the fish pond in the backyard.
Immediately Zhang An expanded the pond next to the snakehead fish and put these big guys in.
As a result, the few big guys who had just entered the water started to fuck with their own kind.
It is indeed a fishkeeper’s nightmare, the overlord among freshwater fishes. The nature of this thing is simply the big fish eating the small fish.
It doesn’t matter whether you are the same species or not, as long as you are small, that is your food source.
Zhang An has been spending a lot of time in space recently, and he seems to have discovered a function that has always existed in space.
That is, space can automatically adjust the number of internal populations and maintain a dynamic balance.
Whether it is animals or plants, they will never reproduce indefinitely.
For example, those cherries and peaches hanging on the tree will remain hanging on the tree if Zhang An never picks them.
They will neither rot nor grow new ones. They will not bloom and bear fruit again until Zhang An picks them.
Among these animals in space, the most numerous ones are probably the wild hares and those pheasants.
Zhang An didn't pay attention before, he only knew that there would be more and more of these hares and pheasants.
But in the past few days, Zhang An discovered that after they breed to a certain number, they will stop breeding.
A female rabbit does not carry cubs, and a female pheasant does not lay eggs in a nest.
For this reason, Zhang An specially slaughtered a batch of pheasants and rabbits, and finally confirmed this discovery.
So Zhang An was thinking before that if he kept stuffing things into the space, what if there would be more and more animals in the space one day and the space would be crowded one day.
Now that he discovered that space actually has its own ecological adjustment ability, those scruples in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Zhang An was not disappointed even though he was looking for crucian carp but could not find it. He looked at the Mangosteen growing very well next to him.
Zhang An picked two poles that were five or six meters long and relatively good-looking in shape, and would take them out later.
Because he tried it, this thing was too tough, and he used a lot of force to break it.
And it’s because it’s in space. If you get it outside, it may not be difficult to bend it, but it will be difficult to break it.
Arhat bamboo can be used to make fishing rods, but now the Arhat bamboo growing in the space is so tough and very light.
A pole like this is naturally the best choice for fishing rods. Even if it is a medium-sized and large-scale product, it is much tougher than those made of carbon fiber.
So Zhang An chose two of them, took them outside, and found time to make them into fishing rods tomorrow.
It just so happened that he wanted to get some crucian carp to make soup for Su Ying. He would take it out and try it out tomorrow.
After picking out the bamboo poles, Zhang An discovered that the Luohan bamboo that he had planned to give to the two old men to make cigarette poles was still lying on the ground.
No wonder he couldn't find it outside. He had disappeared in the past, but he didn't expect it to be still in the space without being taken out.
With four pieces of Arhat bamboo, Zhang An left the space and repaired the two snake-shaped bamboos with a bamboo knife in the yard.
In fact, Zhang An really wanted to make these two snake-shaped bamboos into cigarette poles and give them to his two old men.
This way, even if the old guys don’t smoke, they can still carry it out and show it off when bragging to other old men.
But it's a pity that Zhang An doesn't know how to do this craft. If he pokes it casually, it will definitely be ruined.
Although he can continue to spawn in space after being crippled, doing this thing consumes too much energy and is not worthwhile.
So he planned to repair the appearance and gave it to the two old men to do it themselves.
“Hey, Anzi, we are repairing the bamboo roots.”
While Zhang An was repairing, Mr. Huang came over. The bamboo used to make tobacco poles must have roots, so everyone It's called bamboo root.
"The second master is here. Didn't I hear that my aunt took you and my second grandma? Why did you come back and didn't stay for a few more days?"
A few days ago, when Huang Ming found out his horoscope, his aunt came over specially.
After the matter is over, I will pick up Mr. Huang and his wife and stay with them for a few days.
“You can live there for only a few days. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. No matter how nice other people’s homes are, they are not as comfortable as the ones we live in in this mountain nook.”
Huang Erye shook his head. He was shaking his head, even though his eldest daughter picked them up, he was really happy.
After all, this is a child's filial piety, which he cannot feel from his other two sons.
But after staying there for two or three days, he began to miss his home.
After all, he didn’t know anyone at his daughter and son-in-law’s house, and there was no one to talk to. He felt extremely uncomfortable, so he wanted to come back as soon as possible.
Because in Changqing, after eating every day, he would carry his cigarette pole to the entrance of the village and gather with the old guys in the village.
Let's all brag and drink tea together. This day can be as comfortable as possible. The old man likes this kind of life.
After all, we have reached the age of dying. Who knows how many more years these old guys can stay together.
You never know when the day will come. Either you will leave first or I will leave first.
"I heard that Xiaoying is pregnant. There happened to be a family raising pigeons at your aunt's house, so I caught a few and brought them back. You took the time to stew them for Xiaoying."
At this time, Zhang An discovered that the nylon bag contained several local pigeons with silver-gray coats.
It is quite small, probably weighing more than a pound.
Pigeons have been used by people in our country to nourish the body since ancient times, so this thing has always been quite expensive.
"Second Master, you really don't mind the trouble. Why bother going all the way? It's not like no one sells pigeons around here."
Huang Ming's aunt's house is next door. Save, Mr. Huang is carrying a few pigeons all the way. Although they are not heavy objects, the distance is troublesome.
"They were all brought by the train. Why should I bother? Besides, these are native pigeons, which are very nutritious. In the past, only the emperor could eat them. Generally, pigeons are not as delicious as them. If They are those pigeons sold on the street. I might as well go to the mountains and hunt two turtle doves.”
Turtle doves and pigeons seem to be close relatives. Judging from their coat color, body shape and other characteristics, they are very similar.
I heard from the old people that pigeons are turtle doves that have been tamed by people, so many people like to call turtle doves wild pigeons.
Ordinary mountain people will not go to the street to buy pigeons, but go directly to the mountains to hunt turtle doves.
After all, this thing is now proliferating in groups and everywhere. They are not on the protection list, so they naturally become the first choice to replace pigeons.
Of course, everyone is a law-abiding citizen. After the state protects them, they will not deliberately hunt them.
