Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

Surrounded by golden monkeys, He Qiang enjoyed his lunch comfortably.

Even the mother monkey who was foraging for food with her cubs next to him came over slowly. The baby monkey in her arms was estimated to be only about two months old. The little monkey just hugged the mother monkey and didn't let go. He Qiang only dared to look at her with his head tilted.

However, He Qiang's sesame cakes had been divided among the young monkeys, and there was nothing to eat for the female monkey at the moment.

But it was obvious that the female monkey was not here to ask for food. After she looked at He Qiang curiously for a while, she came to a young monkey and started to pick lice for him.

This family looked quite harmonious, and there was a sense of joy.

However, such a rare scene can basically only be seen in the golden monkey group.

There is no monkey king in the golden monkey group, so there will be fewer fights.

Generally, in the golden monkey group, they live in groups with multiple families. Among them, young male monkeys without spouses will form a bachelor group to rely on the monkey group.

Otherwise, how can a group of monkeys accommodate more than two males?

However, golden snub-nosed monkeys do not have a king, and the monkey fathers will not drive away the single male monkeys, so inevitably, the female monkeys in their family may steal monkeys.

Although the golden snub-nosed monkeys are cute, in the golden snub-nosed monkey’s living circle, the heads of the monkey fathers are also green.

Single male monkeys are not without their day, and maybe one day they can kidnap a monkey wife...

For golden snub-nosed monkeys, if they want to live a decent life, they always have to have some green on their heads!

After eating and drinking, He Qiang prepared to go down the mountain. He did not plan to drive away this group of golden snub-nosed monkeys.

Golden snub-nosed monkeys usually eat mainly plant-based food, and those little bees are so fierce that I’m afraid they won’t provoke them.

"Okay, take your time and have fun, I have to go now."

Today, He Qiang's goal has been achieved. After understanding the impact of 'irrigation' on organisms, he has more confidence in raising yellow catfish.

As long as the water plants in the fish pond are 'irrigated', there will be no need to worry about the poor ecological system in the fish pond.

Although yellow catfish do not eat grass, they eat food!

Even the little bees are so strong and energetic after collecting nectar. By then, the plankton in the water, as well as the small fish and shrimps.

These organisms all rely on bacteria and algae in the water for food. By then, they will be full.

For example, there is no need to worry about the effect of too much algae on the growth of fish.

I am not afraid of it rising too much, I am afraid that it will not rise! It is just right to scoop it up to feed pigs and ducks. I packed up and staggered down the mountain.

After returning home, He Qiang went home first to put the things.

Summer vacation has been here recently, and several little guys who go to school have also returned home.

There are older children, except He Tiantian and the remaining two younger ones, the others went out to play.

He Tiantian and the two younger ones saw He Qiang coming back with a backpack, and they were immediately surprised.

""Daddy!"

He Tiantian rushed over with her short legs.

He Qiang picked up He Tiantian and kissed her, making her giggle.

However, He Qiang's next words directly wiped out He Tiantian's smile:

"I didn't find anything today, I just caught some centipedes. Daddy will bring you something delicious next time."

He Tiantian lost interest and turned around to go downstairs to continue playing.

He Qiang was so angry that his mouth was almost crooked:"You won't kiss me if you don't bring anything back, right? Who taught you to be so realistic!"

He Tiantian didn't care who you were, He Laoyao, and wanted to get downstairs with her twisting little body.

He Qiang put her down in a bad mood, walked into the house and complained to Grandma He:"Little thing, you don't learn well, how old are you and you are like this!"

Wu Shuhua in the kitchen came out and took He Qiang's backpack and put it down, saying softly:"How old is she, what does she know? It's because you have been bringing things back every day recently that she has developed a habit."

He Qiang pouted and said nothing.

Taking the centipedes out of the backpack, He Qiang said:"Let Dad deal with it tonight, soak it first."

Wu Shuhua saw that the jar was almost full, frowned and said:"There are so many poisonous insects in the mountain? Have you been stung?"

He Qiang waved his hand:"I value my life very much. I have never taken off grandpa's clothes because I feel hot. I cover my whole body tightly."

Old Mrs. He praised:"It won't hurt to be careful. That's the way to go."

After returning to the house, wiping himself and changing his clothes, He Qiang walked out and said,"I'll go to the pond first."

He Tiantian heard that he was going out, and at this time she ran over with her short legs.

""Daddy, hold me!"

He Qiang picked up He Tiantian in annoyance:"Do you know how to hold me now?"

The other two little ones also looked at He Qiang eagerly, obviously wanting to go out and play.

But He Qiang is not Asura, where does he get so many hands?

After thinking about it, He Qiang simply didn't take any of them.

He Tiantian was put down, looking at her old father pitifully.

Hey, little guy, can't I cure you?

He Qiang folded his hands and went out for a stroll.

He came to the pond, and it was He Yong's turn to push the water row.

But what surprised He Qiang was that there was not only He Yong by the fish pond, but also Sun Jifa and three others.

"Where did you get this from?"

He Qiang looked at the things in the hands of the three people and was a little surprised.

Although pipes were installed, the principle was actually the same as pumping water with a water pump. It was just that because of the pipes, the pumping speed was faster.

"I borrowed it from the next village, and my dad asked me to bring it to you to help."

Sun Jifa said, with a smug look on his face:"Look how much I love you."

He Qiang gave Sun Jifa a thumbs up.

He was not familiar with the family in the next village, and his face was not as good as the Sun family.

Tian Jun complained:"You are so cool, you don't even take care of your own fish pond, we are the ones who are busy."

He Qiang said confidently:"I went to the mountains to do some work, and I caught a jar of centipedes today."

Liu Quanyou muttered:"What's so good about catching centipedes?"

""It's for wine, someone is buying it."

He Qiang explained.

Sun Jifa was not interested, shaking the water raft and said,"It's worth a lot of money, why waste your time, you might as well come and play with your brothers."

He Qiang couldn't compare himself to Sun Jifa who didn't support his family.

This guy was only 18 years old, a bachelor, and he knew nothing.

"Okay, you guys keep busy, I'll go say hello to my brother."

He Qiang said, then turned and walked towards He Yong.

""How was the harvest today?"

He Yong asked when he saw He Qiang coming.

He Qiang smiled and said,"It's okay. I caught more than a dozen centipedes, enough for a jar of soup. I'll add some other things in when the time comes to see if I can find scorpions and other five poisonous animals."

He Yong said with concern,"Remember to be safe. It's not easy to deal with troubles in the mountains." He Qiang nodded and said,"I always wear gloves."

He Yong didn't say much, but turned to look at Sun Jifa and others in the distance and said,"Your friends are here to help. The pumping speed is much faster. I guess it will be all done the day after tomorrow."

He Qiang understood He Yong's little idea, so he smiled and said,"Just give them a few fish when you go to the pond, no more." He Yong breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't show it, so he changed the subject and said,"The location of the fish pond in the team is not good, and it can't be dug up and drained. If it weren't for the trouble of pumping and draining water every year, I'm afraid no one would care."

He Qiang nodded. This was indeed the truth.

The fish pond was a low-lying area in their valley. The surrounding terrain was at least half a meter higher than the fish pond. It was wishful thinking to open an opening to release water.

The workload was even greater than using a water drain to pump water.

But He Qiang didn't have to worry about this at all. He wouldn't be short of money in the future anyway. He could just buy a pump when the time came. Why would he be afraid of trouble?

He Qiang stood by the fish pond and sensed the situation in the fish pond. He found that there were quite a few things in it. He looked at the situation in some shallow water areas. He suddenly felt itchy.

"That area is safe to step on. I'll go and feel around for it first. Come on, third brother."

He Qiang gestured to a shallow area in the fish pond.

He Yong had long been accustomed to his cousin's temper and was not angry. Instead, he advised:"Go back and find a pair of boots, so as not to step on clams and cut your feet."

"OK, I'll go back and look for my boots first, and remember to come over for dinner tonight."

He Qiang said, and ran away.
