Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 57 Peanut Pulling

After moving the things home, Zhang Yaohua began to assemble them.

Whether it's his computer desk or Zhang Yuanhang's desk, they are not one piece.

For example, Zhang Yaohua's computer desk is also equipped with a bookshelf on one side, which can store books and the like.

For this reason, my mother also nagged a few words.

Obviously, they don't like this style of table very much. They think it's not sturdy, impractical, etc. Anyway, it's just nitpicking. This is not good, and that's not good either.

Zhang Yaohua's ears automatically block sounds.

To be honest, if he wasn't afraid of his mother's overreaction, he would even want to change the bed in his room.

The wooden bed I sleep on now is still the same one from 30 to [-] years ago, with a mosquito net frame above it and a mat spread on the bed board.In the first two days when I came back, I couldn't adapt to it for a while, and my back hurt from lying down.

And people who are used to lying on hard beds may not be able to sleep and feel uncomfortable if they suddenly sleep on a mattress.

Only in winter will their family put another quilt on the mat.

When I was a child, straw was laid in winter.There should be no one in the village doing this now.

……

Before you know it, it's the weekend.

Zhang Yaowei wants to accompany his wife back to her parents' home, which is not far away. It's just in the next city, an hour or two's drive away.

My mother took this very seriously. After all, she only had a daughter-in-law for the time being. She took out some dry goods at home and asked Zhang Yaowei to take them to his in-laws to try.

"Mom! That's enough. I haven't finished the dried fish I brought last time." Seeing that the trunk was full, Azhen said helplessly.

"Leave it and eat it slowly. It won't spoil immediately. What are you afraid of? By the way, there are scallops, please wait." Mom walked into the house again.

Zhang Yaohua threw Zhang Yuanhang's schoolbag into the car.

Want to avoid homework?impossible.

"Remember to do your homework. My uncle will check it when you get back."

Zhang Yuanhang, who was originally full of excitement, suddenly fell down.

He hid his schoolbag, but his uncle still found it.

"Don't worry, brother, I will supervise him." Azhen said quickly.

Soon, they set off.

Without Zhang Yaowei, Zhang Yaohua will definitely not go to sea. He will stay at home and help his mother with other tasks, such as pulling peanuts.The family has two plots of peanuts planted, but not many.

"Aren't you going to plant more seeds? Aren't you going to press oil this year?" Zhang Yaohua asked.

It’s just that little, it’s very difficult to extract oil!

Although their family eats a lot of lard, they can’t eat less peanut oil. They fry dozens of kilograms of peanut oil for consumption every year.The same goes for other people in the village, most of whom still eat lard.

The rumor that lard is unhealthy is relatively weak in rural areas.

Although the cultural level of the fellow villagers is low, they are not fools.Our ancestors have been eating lard for generations, and many people live to be over 80 years old. Why is it unhealthy?
Lard is cheap and the cooking is delicious, so why not eat it?
"If I don't fry it, I won't be able to finish it." My mother replied as she pulled out the peanuts.

There is also a glue bucket at home!It was brought back by Azhen's natal family.The in-laws grow a lot of peanuts every year. This time, Zhang Yaowei sent his wife back home and was not allowed to help pull out the peanuts for a day or two?
Zhang Yaohua picked a Sanfang peanut, peeled it open, and put the peanut meat into his mouth.

"Eat less. If you want to eat, cook some tonight."

Eating too much raw food can cause diarrhea.

Suddenly, Zhang Yaohua jumped up.

"What are you doing?" Mom looked over.

"I was shocked, it was a four-legged snake." Although the four-legged snake also has the word "snake", it is not a snake, it is just a larger gecko.They are not poisonous and do not bite. They are beneficial animals. Zhang Yaohua has not seen such animals for a long time.

They move quickly and are usually active during the day. They often come in and out of grass, piles of rocks and roadsides. When disturbed, they quickly rush to hide in nearby hiding places.

In some places, they are also called skinks. Their tails will fall off immediately after being clipped, but they can still live normally and will gradually grow a new tail over time.This physiological phenomenon is called "regeneration".

Most four-legged snakes only eat insects or their larvae, but larger skinks also eat small vertebrates or some plants.

In the past, there were many people in the countryside, and you could meet them almost every day.Over the years, although Zhang Yaohua rarely came back, he clearly felt that this kind of creature was much rarer.

Zhang Yaohua guessed that it was mainly due to pesticides, right?

Of course, there are also reasons for human capture. After all, the four-legged snake is also a valuable traditional Chinese medicine.

Mother Zhang sighed, her eldest son was too afraid of snakes.

Even a four-legged snake can scare him until his legs weaken. Why is he so timid?

Logically speaking, he shouldn't, and I haven't seen him afraid of eels or moray eels. They obviously have similar appearances, but he is only afraid of snakes. I really don't understand.

"What are you afraid of, the four-legged snake?"

Other children are played with by others.

"It almost climbed to the top of my feet." Zhang Yaohua said.

Father Zhang shook the peanut seedlings in his hand, picked off two broken ones, and put them on the dung basket.

"We can't continue planting here next year because there are too many pests."

Because I eat it myself and don’t use pesticides much, it is inevitable that there will be many bugs.

Ordinary people have their own set of theories and experiences in farming, and they also know that a piece of land cannot always grow the same food, and must be cultivated in rotation.

"If you put Sudan red on it, there will be no insects. It is no longer for sale." My mother said.

Zhang Yaohua told her: "Sudan red is not useful! The country has banned it. It causes cancer."

Sudan is a red dye used to color solvents, oils, waxes, gasoline, and to add luster to shoes, floors, etc.It was once used as a food additive.

In rural areas, some farmers who grow peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc. will also put some Sudan red, which can kill insects.

It was later revealed that it could cause cancer, and Sudan red was banned in many countries.

Father Zhang nodded: "I've heard of it. Some people used to grow sweet potatoes with Sudan red. Later, except for a child studying abroad, everyone else in the family was diagnosed with cancer. What a tragedy!"

Cancer is a terminal disease recognized by modern medicine. Everyone talks about cancer. Even rural people who have never seen it understand that if you get that kind of disease, you are basically waiting to die. It is a waste of money to send you to the hospital.

So, how can anyone dare to use Sudan red?

There were also folded ears growing on the ridge, but Zhang Yaohua ignored them.

Zheergen is also known as Houttuynia cordata. People who love to eat it are crazy about it, and people who don't like it are disgusted by it.

Zhang Yaohua is the one who can't eat Zhe Er root. The taste is so indescribable that it is simply indescribable. After one bite, the taste goes straight to the heavens. No kidding.

If he wants to become the richest man in the world, he will definitely consider asking someone to peel off all the roots and coriander.If you can, include durian.

However, just because Zhang Yaohua turned a blind eye does not mean that others did the same.

His mother dug it up with a hoe.

Zhang Yaohua and his father looked at each other and remained silent. The two fathers and sons were indifferent to each other.

　It's late, I'll update in the morning or afternoon tomorrow.
