Southern Region, June.

Longxi Village, Baihe Town, Nanshan City.

In the small farmyard, the shadows of trees sway. In the evening, the sun sets, and cicadas are still noisy.

In the yard, there was a table of wine and vegetables. The vegetables were grown by the farmers, with chicken, duck, fish and meat, which was very rich. On the table was Zhou Heng's family, and his neighbor, Zhang Feng.

Under the table is a big yellow dog, looking for bones underneath to eat.

On hot days, eating in the yard is cooler than eating in the house.

Zhou Heng picked up Jiang Xiaobai on the table, filled Zhang Feng, and then filled himself, saying, "Fengzi, it's really thanks to you this time. Brother, don't thank you. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

In the middle of the night two days ago, Zhou Heng's father suddenly had abdominal pain, and he was in great pain. The doctors in the village were not sure what was wrong and asked him to send him to the hospital as soon as possible.

The current situation in rural areas is basically left-behind villages, either the elderly or the children. Who can send him to the hospital in the middle of the night?

Coincidentally, Zhang Feng, who was working in the provincial capital, just came back in those two days, so Zhou Heng's mother asked him to help and asked him to send the person to the hospital.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Feng rode his motorcycle to the hospital without saying a word, and helped him register, paid the fees, etc., and was busy.

For acute kidney stones, the hospital quickly gets pain-relieving injections and then performs B-ultrasound to see if it is done directly with gravel or surgery.

Zhou Heng didn't receive the call until dawn and immediately asked for leave to come back.

When he got off and took the high-speed train back, his father had already made gravel and was hanging some things.

It can be imagined that if this childhood friend hadn't happened to be at home and was so righteous at that time, touching the gang and sending people to the hospital, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhou Heng was very grateful.

Now, my father came back from the hospital and immediately arranged the house to ask this kid to have a good drink. Thank you.

Zhou Heng's sister Zhou Ying also picked up the cup and said, "Zhang Feng, thank you very much this time."

Zhou Ying is ten years older than Zhou Heng, has married and has a second child, and has bought a house in the city.

At that time, she heard that something happened to her father, and she was very anxious. Her husband worked in another place and only came back once a few months. She was alone with two children, one was about to take the high school entrance examination and the other was only three years old.

She had no choice but to wake up the big guy, let him look at his sister, and then rushed to the hospital.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng had already helped send his father to the city hospital, otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.

Both the siblings are very grateful.

Zhang Feng picked up the wine glass and said repeatedly: "Look at you, just say something different. At that time, if anyone was at home, he would have done this."

He and Zhou Heng have been having sex since childhood, and they will definitely be able to reach out to this.

Who has no urgent matter yet!

Zhou Heng drank several more cups with him, and then he asked him to eat more food.

This trip home made him feel so deeply.

He went to the hospital with his luggage first, and he didn't have time to go home. As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw his father who was old and thin due to illness and his helpless mother, and he was very moved.

His parents were so old that he gritted his teeth to support him in college under such a difficult environment, but so far, he has not said to be filial and companionship, and even his father was sick, he could not send him to the hospital as soon as possible.

Countless guilt surged into my heart.

Parents will get older and older. To be honest, there will probably be more and more such things in the future.

Fortunately, Zhang Feng is at home this time. What if there is no young person at home next time?

If only he could have a career at home, he could take into account both his family and career.

The two lively children on the table temporarily dispelled his worries.

Zhou Ying asked the eldest son to live on campus temporarily, and took the little girl back to her parents' home with him, intending to take care of her parents for a few days.

Next is Zhang Feng's daughter, who is already four years old, and two little girls are sitting side by side, comparing who is the bigger chicken legs in the bowl, which is very happy.

"Mom, my chicken legs are bigger." Three-year-old Wang Siqi raised the chicken legs and said to Zhou Ying as if showing off.

The name is like a boy, and it means "to learn from the good and to the best".

Zhou Ying said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, yours are bigger, yours are bigger, eat it quickly, my god!"

This time another little girl is unhappy.

"Dad, my chicken legs are obviously bigger." Zhang Feng's daughter Zhang Yuanyuan also acted coquettishly towards her father.

Zhang Feng gently patted her little head and said docilely: "Well, eat quickly."

If there are children on the table, there will be no less topics.

Speaking of which, Zhang Feng and Zhou Heng have been having fun together since childhood, went to school together, and stole watermelons and touched sweet potatoes in the village together.

As a result, his daughter is four years old now.

Zhou Heng still didn't even get married.

He is also twenty-seven years old.

Zhou's mother half-urged and half-jokingly asked her son: "Xiaoheng, look, her child is so cute, what do you think?"

Zhou Hengzheng and Zhang Feng were drinking, and disaster came from the sky, and quickly admitted his conscience: "I dare not think, I dare not think."

He also wants to get married and have children. Isn’t this a blessing yet?

Zhang Feng immediately rescued him and said to Zhou's mother: "Aunt, why are you anxious about this? Zhou Heng graduated from college, has a high education, is handsome, and has the ability. How can he worry about not being able to marry a wife? Don't worry, he will definitely marry you a daughter-in-law from a big city!"

A compliment made Zhou's mother amused.

Zhang Feng and Zhou Heng went to school together, but after junior high school, they stopped studying and did not learn any skills. So they got married and had children early?

Now I have suffered from the hardship of not having education and no skills. I can only do some short-term jobs in the provincial capital, and one is earning one.

But there is also a good thing, short-term worker is free, and you have more time to go home to take care of the elderly and young people.

Zhou Heng always turned to himself when he saw the topic, this was not a good thing.

He took a bite of the chicken and said exaggeratedly: "Oh, I said, the chicken at home is really delicious, fragrant and delicious, ten times better than what I bought outside! Mom, what kind of chicken is this?"

He started practicing when he was a man of flattery and had much experience.

Zhou's mother said happily: "What technology? Are you not the local chickens raised in rural areas? She is looking for insects to eat in the mountains and jumps on the trees every day. How can the chickens with many activities not be delicious?"

No, the taste of free-range chickens in rural areas is indeed different, with a fragrant meat, strong and not dry.

Many of the chickens on the market today are named after the local chickens, but they are not the case at all!

Zhou's mother said that last year she heard that someone provided local chickens to local restaurants outside, and she earned several thousand yuan a year. So this year she discussed with her father that the two of them raised more than 500 local chickens.

There is no source of information in the village, they all listen to others, and they do whatever they do to make money.

A few years ago, I heard that mugwort is expensive, and it can reach six or seven yuan per catty after drying it. They also planted mugwort for several years. But after a few years, more people planted it, and the price dropped very low, which is not worth it.

Then I changed my trick and wanted to take the opportunity to raise chickens.

Although farming families are simple to raise chickens, they think it's enough to just sprinkle some food in the morning and evening. In fact, the trick here is quite large.

As long as there is something wrong with a chicken, it will easily die. Maybe it is contagious and will die a lot as soon as it dies.

That's all money.

If you get sick during the busy farming season, you will be even more worried. On the one hand, you can’t even get busy with the fields and don’t even have to eat. At the same time, you have to give chickens injections and feed medicine. The taste is really not something that ordinary people can tolerate.

These more than 500 chickens were raised by Zhou Heng’s parents at this age, while serving more than 20 acres of land and spending energy on raising them. This shows how hard it is.

Every time Zhou Heng said that he would let his parents plant less fields and rent what he had to do to others to plant, so it was time for them to rest, but they firmly disagreed.

There is nothing else, you can get more income and at least you don’t have to ask your son for it. Wouldn’t it be easier for him to burden him?

As he was talking, there was a buzz outside the yard, full of chickens' "giggles" and "gggles".

More than 500 chickens are back in a mighty manner.

The head was headed by a large big rooster, followed by its harem, neatly arranged, like a triumphant army, full of momentum.

Zhou Heng said suddenly: "This chicken is so good, I know I'll come back!"

My father also liked it very much, just like seeing money, so he quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks and sprinkled food for them.

He replied happily: "Of course, this big rooster is very awesome. He takes the chicken out every morning and brings it back in the evening."

Although chickens are looking for food in the mountains during the day, they will definitely not be full, so they still have to replenish some food sooner or later.

Rice, corn, etc.

Zhang Feng said enviously: "Uncle, you have contracted half a mountain, planted orchards, raised chickens, and planted some fields. You are more motivated than young people!"

The back mountain was contracted by Zhou Heng’s family and oranges were planted. This was also what someone said. It’s okay to plant oranges in the past two years, so I planted them.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter how hard it is to plant fruit trees. Parents don’t know how to plant scientifically, so they can only rely on their farming experience.

However, it takes three years for the fruit tree to bear fruit, and it is still early.

Taking this opportunity to raise some local chickens, it can be considered as the best use of the land.

The yard was full of the sound of chickens pecking at food, "tuk tuk", full of the charm of a farmhouse.

Three-year-old Wang Siqi said while gnawing on the chicken legs: "Mom, there are so many chickens! I can't even count them clearly."
