Chapter 699 Leech’s Preference
“Haha, Old Chen, you are such a big man, how could you be so frightened by this little leech.”
Seeing Chen Ze’s face turn pale With a white look, the fat man walking behind felt somewhat gloating about his misfortune.
"Oh, you're too happy, look what's on your ankle."
Seeing the fat man laughing at himself, Chen Ze found that this guy was also tagged by a leech. , immediately changed the newspaper and went back.
"Oh, I don't believe it. You can't fool me with this little trick."
The fat man shook his head and looked aside, thinking that Chen Ze was lying to him and he would not be fooled at all. .
"Humph, do you like it or not? It's not like you're sucking my blood anyway."
Seeing the fat man's disbelief, Chen Ze immediately shrugged and said nonchalantly.
It is said that some people are holding back and dragging them backwards. When the fat man saw him like this, he immediately became suspicious.
So I couldn't help but turn my head back and look at my calves.
I looked at my left leg and found that it was not there. I felt much calmer, and then looked to the other side.
"Ah, when did it crawl up my legs? There are so many of them."
Just when the fat man wanted to "cut" Chen Ze a few times, he suddenly found that his right leg There were actually three leeches attached to my calf.
Although it was not as big as the one on Chen Ze's leg just now, it was indeed sucking his blood, and he had never had such an experience before, and his eyes immediately stared like bells.
And in his opinion, the smaller the leech is, the more terrifying it is. A large leech cannot penetrate into human flesh, but this is not necessarily the case for such a very small leech. It got into his own veins in a moment, which was really terrible.
"Zhang An, give me a pat too."
Thinking of this, the fat man said to Zhang An in horror.
"Just take the picture yourself. Tilt your palm and slap it down, and it will be all captured."
Looking at the fat man's exaggerated look, Zhang An couldn't laugh or cry. If it hadn't been for him I'm so familiar with Fatty, so when I saw this, I thought he was acting.
"I don't dare to do it, why don't you help me take the picture."
The fat man couldn't stand it just by seeing the way the leech was squirming, and there was no way he could do anything.
“Okay, okay, it’s just such a small leech, let’s see how scared you are.”
Lu Cheng looked at his second brother being frightened like this by a leech and glared at him His eyes looked like they hated iron.
"Don't stand and talk without your back hurting. Let it bite you."
Hearing his boss's sarcastic remarks, the fat man couldn't help but rolled his eyes. It could be seen that when they were two children, they should That's what happens when you fight often.
"What's the big deal? I've already encountered this before when I went to the countryside to jump in the queue."
Lu Cheng was unlucky and happened to catch up with the tail end of the queue when he went to the countryside to jump in the queue. those years.
Relatively speaking, the fat man is lucky. When his time is about to come, there is no need to go any further.
But according to their family's situation, even when they were sent down, they could still find a good place by relying on their connections.
So although I experienced some, I didn’t suffer much.
Seeing that the fat man still didn't make a move, Lu Cheng walked towards him, stretched out his hand and slapped the bowed calf.
The next moment, the fat man screamed in the field: "Ouch, why are you working so hard? You can't be gentle."
Maybe it's because of my inexperience. The force used was a bit too strong, and the fat man was beaten terribly.
That’s not all, forget it if it hurts. The key point is that only one of the three leeches on the fat man’s legs has been pulled away, and the other two are still attached.
"What the hell are you talking about? How can you shoot it off if you don't use more force? I'm not a child anymore. I can't bear the pain."
Lu Cheng glared at the fat man again, of course not Will admit that he made a mistake.
"I didn't slap you on the leg. Of course you don't feel any pain anymore. The slap Zhang An just made didn't show any force. I won't look for you anymore. I'll look for Zhang An."
The fat man looked at the swollen palm prints on his fat, white calf and said pitifully.
No matter what, Lu Cheng stopped letting Lu Cheng take action and walked to Zhang An's side.
Zhang An was so happy when he saw the two brothers looking like living treasures, and the others were almost the same.
But he didn't hesitate. He immediately patted the leech off his leg into the water for the fat man, then picked it up with one hand and threw it out of the field.
When we got to the next plow, because of what we had just experienced, the fat man had to look back at his legs every time he finished planting rice, for fear of being bitten by a leech again if he didn't pay attention.
On the contrary, Chen Ze, who had been sucked a few times by the big guy, didn't care at all. He acted as if nothing was wrong. He must have been bitten by the big one, so he felt that the small one was nothing.
"Okay, let's rest for a while. Come back and eat before continuing to plant."
When the second field was halfway planted, Wang Fang shouted at the door of the yard Have a meal.
“Only this half of the field is left, or we can finish planting before going.”
Seeing the remaining half of the field behind them, Zhang Chunyan and the other women suggested said.
They have all been growing crops for so many years, so it doesn’t matter if they eat it earlier or later.
And the field is not very big now, and the speed of transplanting large rice seedlings is faster than other tasks. You can plant a row in one go. It doesn’t take much to plant half of the field. time.
"No, sister-in-law, let's go eat first. There isn't much left. I can definitely finish all the work in the afternoon. There's no rush for this moment."
Zhang An doesn't think it's necessary. After all, the emperor is hungry. Our soldiers only have these few acres of land, and there are so many people with them, so there is no need to rush for such a short while.
"Hey, big brother, wait a minute."
As soon as he left the field, the fat man glanced at his big brother and chased after him.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Cheng, who was about to follow everyone to wash their feet in the river, heard his second brother's words and turned around and asked in question.
"You were bitten by a leech, I'll take a photo of it for you."
The fat man pointed at Lu Cheng's calf and said.
Lu Cheng looked down and found that he had also been bitten by a leech.
But before he could do it himself, Fatty had already taken the lead and slapped him on his calf, causing him to gasp immediately.
"Fuck you, this is naked revenge."
Lu Cheng gritted his teeth, and it took him a while to recover, enough to see how hard this second son of his had gone. .
"You're talking nonsense, I didn't. How could I have taken this photo without any effort?"
Faced with his eldest brother's question, the fat man immediately shook his head and showed a very serious look. The innocent expression indicated that this was not revenge, but that he just wanted to take a picture of the leech for his elder brother. Hearing what the fat man said, Lu Cheng didn't know that the second brother was just taking naked revenge, and then used what he said to block his mouth.
But when he saw his second son jumping forward, it reminded him of the scene where the two of them often fought with each other when they were young. .
Unconsciously, the two brothers were already in their thirties and running for their fourth year.
Thinking of this, Lu Cheng couldn't help showing a look of nostalgia on his face.
“I remember there weren’t so many leeches in our fields in previous years. Why are there so many this year?”
Seeing Chen Ze and others being approached by leeches one after another, Zhang An always felt like Something was wrong. If there were so many leeches, why didn't they encounter them? But if there were few, why did all three of them get infected?
"Maybe the leeches in our fields like city dwellers like Boss Lu, so we go out to look for them. People like us who often go to the fields don't even get close to them."
When several old ladies in the village heard Zhang An's words, they immediately started cheering.
Especially when I saw that the skin on the legs of Chen Ze and the other three men was whiter and tenderer than those of these women, I immediately stopped feeling strange.
"Hahaha, what the sisters-in-law said makes sense."
As soon as Zhang An heard what they said, he immediately understood what they meant, leaving only Chen Ze and others who were confused. The way the mind looks.
Back home, Zhang An helped his mother take out the prepared meals from the kitchen.
Fatty and Chen Ze couldn’t sit still, so they also came to help.
As for the old ladies in other villages, they were not idle either. They were all helping to hold bowls for everyone to eat.
Speaking of which, they are still the few people in the village who help Zhang An's family with work and then provide food.
Actually, Wang Fang originally thought of inviting a few people who did not provide food, but seeing that Lu Cheng and others insisted on going to the fields with them, he made preparations together.
After all, cooking for four or five people is also cooking, and cooking for seven or eight people is also cooking, so it won't waste much time.
After eating, while everyone was still resting, Zhang An carried a big basket to the orchard in the back mountain.
"Zhang An, what are you going to do? Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
Seeing Zhang An running out, the fat man immediately got up and followed.
As soon as he shouted, Chen Ze and Lu Cheng also came together.
"I will go to the mountain to pick some cherries and peaches. When everyone is planting rice seedlings in the afternoon, if there is something to mess around with, you should just rest. I can go by myself."
Zhang An took a look. When a few people wanted to follow him, he said somewhat dumbfounded.
"Why don't you take a break? The work of planting rice is not tiring, let's go together."
A few people waved their hands indifferently and followed Zhang An to the orchard.
But to be honest, the job of transplanting rice seedlings is indeed the easiest among the crop tasks.
Although they had to bend over all the time, it was much better than others, so although Lu Cheng and the others felt a little sore in their waists, they did not feel too tired.
Of course, because the big seedlings being planted now are not the small seedlings that were just grown a month ago, otherwise they would suffer a lot at the end of the day.
After all, the density gap for planting large seedlings is so large that you have to straighten your back before you can stand up after planting.
When planting small seedlings, the density is densely packed one after another. From the moment you enter the field, you have to work hard.
Although you can take a stool and sit in the field, it is really painful at the end of the day.
Since they all said so, Zhang An said nothing more, and they entered the orchard together.
Most of Zhang An’s cherries have been picked, and Lu Cheng asked someone to take them away.
But there are still a few unripe ones left on the tree, and they will be just fine in the past two days.
A few people found a tree with cherries and climbed up the tree branches. However, the fat man was too big to climb up, so Zhang An threw the basket to him and let him stand in the tree. Wait next.
In fact, even if he could climb the tree, Zhang An would still advise him to stay below, because these cherry trees are not very thick and may not be able to withstand the pressure he puts on them.
Although they had just finished eating, when several people picked cherries, they ate while picking them.
“Don’t just think about yourselves, pick some for me quickly, just to bully me into not being able to climb the tree, right?”
The fat man saw a few people eating with their mouths full on the tree. Yes, I was the only one watching under the tree, and I suddenly became anxious.
"Okay, okay, I know you are in a hurry, but don't be impatient. Come over here with the basket, and I will put it down."
Zhang An was so amused by the fat man, He quickly called him over, then picked the cherries in his clothes and put them into the basket.
Not to mention, this is the last cherry, it tastes really great.
It tastes very ripe and full of juice, and it also tastes very sweet.
And it’s not as sweet as when you eat candy, because it’s not overpowering.
After picking a basket of cherries, several people ran to the peach grove on the other side.
The peaches in Zhang An’s family are not ready for picking yet, and they still need to be raised on the tree for a few more days.
However, there are a few that are completely ripe. If you want to eat them yourself, you can pick some from here and there.
There are peaches all over the tree, so you don’t need to go up the tree. You can pick them by standing on tiptoe and pulling down the branches.
Lu Cheng and the others were no longer as particular as before. They found an edible peach, picked it off, wiped it on their clothes and put it directly into their mouths.
Other people may not know that as the only purchaser of this peach, he knows all about it. Not only is it delicious, it is clean when picked. There is no need to clean it at all. Just rub it a little to remove the peach hair.
“The peaches this year are still as delicious as last year, but they seem to be a little smaller.”
After chewing half of the peach, Lu Cheng suddenly said.
"Are you smaller? Why didn't I notice it? I feel the same as before, still quite big."
"Chen Ze and Fatty didn't feel that they were smaller. It seems that these peaches are still about the same size as those in previous years.
"Although they are not much smaller, they are definitely smaller. You know, these peaches in previous years, I personally watched them selected and packed. They are definitely smaller. Unmistakable. "
Lu Cheng shook his head and said with great confidence.
"It is a little smaller than last year, but not much smaller, so it is not easy to see, because these peach trees have been planted for several years, and only one fruit is produced during the peak fruiting period. The number of fruits and the size of the fruits have been affected. But it’s okay. After I finish picking them this year, I will put some fertilizer on them so that they can grow bigger next year.”
Of course Zhang An knows that his peaches are smaller, partly because these peach trees are growing taller. As they grow older, their fertility requirements are higher than before.
In addition, the weather this year was pretty good, so he didn’t come to water the peach trees.
In previous years, he poured a lot of space spring water on these trees, so it was strange that the peaches they produced were not big.
But don’t worry, there are still more than a thousand kilograms of oil residue at home. When you have some free time, you can add extra food to these fruit trees.
