Years: Salted Fish Life Since Going to the Countryside

Chapter 475 Daily Life

In addition to the bad influence, this also involves confidentiality, so Han Li could only smile and shake his head and leave.

Unfortunately, he walked through the grove and didn't find a second species besides pigeons. Just when Han Li was a little disappointed and wanted to leave, he suddenly heard the crowd in the direction he came from boiling, as if they had seen a rare thing.

Han Li took a few steps to squeeze into the crowd and saw an old man in tattered clothes holding a homemade clumsy bird cage surrounded by everyone. At this time, he recognized the old man and said in a teasing tone.

"Hey, isn't this Lang Wuye from the former pseudo-dynasty Zhenghong Banner? I heard that you are now sent to Badaling to farm. How do you still have time to play with birds?"

The old man didn't make a fuss after being teased. He just smiled and made circles, then raised the bird cage in his hand that was obviously made in a hurry and said.

"My dear old and young gentlemen, although Lang Wu has gone to farm, our country is still quite kind. Winter is coming and there is no work in the fields, but we will not let our people run around and waste food.

Yesterday, I went into the mountains to collect firewood and happened to meet this lark. Those who are familiar with me know that I went astray when I was young. I carried bird cages and hawks all day long, and fiddled with these small things, so I still have a certain eye in this regard.

In my opinion, this lark is definitely no more than one year old, that is, it is a bird that just flew out this year. Gentlemen, look at its posture, spirituality, and eyes. They are all very outstanding.

Based on my experience over the years, this lark will definitely be amazing if it is carefully trained. It will definitely be no problem to make it call the complete thirteen sets. I wonder if any gentleman has taken a fancy to Lang Wu and I can "match" it to you."

Thirteen sets of larks: originated from the former pseudo-dynasty period, when civil officials paid attention to raising larks and military officials drew thrushes.

Those officials of the Eight Banners who had nothing to do would play with this all day to kill time, and they figured out a set of discussions on raising larks, which was divided into two schools, the North and the South.

However, the Thirteen Sets of Larks was the top play of the North School, which was to let the lark learn thirteen ways of singing, and the most powerful one was to let the lark learn the cry of its natural enemy, the eagle.

As for the word "Yun", it was the fig leaf of the vendors at that time, or the etiquette of the so-called "nobles".

Because at that time, the Eight Banners rarely sold their toys, and they thought it was too embarrassing, so the word "Yun" appeared, but the word "Yun" became rich with multiple meanings over time.

This Lang Wu of the Zhenghong Banner spoke well of this lark, but basically no one was interested at the scene, because secretly feeding a few pigeons was almost the limit. If you raise a lark and don't let it learn to sing, it would be a waste, but if you let it sing, it would be troublesome.

Seeing that no one responded, Lang Wu repeated his words with a bitter look on his face, but the onlookers all left.

Han Li was a little interested in this lark, and more importantly, there were no other animals to exchange here, but he didn't go up to ask at this time. He watched Lang Wu walk around here and hunched over and walked out of the grove before he went up to call him.

"Is that Master Lang Wu?"

Lang Wu heard someone calling him, looked up at Han Li's temperament and clothes, and immediately stepped back half a step and bent over and said.

"I dare not call you Master, just call me Lang Wu, I don't know what you are."

"I came here today to exchange a starling for my elders, but I saw that your lark seems to be good, I wonder if you can "share" it with me?"

When Lang Wu heard that Han Li wanted the lark in his hand, he immediately didn't care about maintaining his previous energy, and hurriedly said with a smile.

"Two catties of fine grain coupons. I only want the ones issued by the official Sijiu City, not those from the factory."

"Two catties of grain coupons are indeed a bit expensive."

"Not expensive, really not expensive at all. Look at the posture, spirituality, and eyes of this lark. It can make several kinds of sounds with just a little training. This gift will definitely make your elders happy."

"But none of us can train this thing? Besides, where can we find birds to learn from in the middle of winter?"

"Larks can not only learn bird calls, but also the calls of other small animals. How about you give me one and a half catties of grain coupons?"

After hearing this, Han Li glanced at Lang Wu. He bargained just to ask him for some bird training skills. It would be better if there were some books or something like that. But this man didn't know how to be rigid and didn't hear it. He didn't take the opportunity, so he gave him one and a half catties of grain coupons without hesitation, took the simple bird cage and turned away.

Han Li came to the door again. Although he drove the three-passenger car inside, he was still searched repeatedly before he was allowed to pass.

This time, when Han Li met Mr. Liu with the birdcage, he was training the remaining dogs in the backyard. He couldn't train five dogs by himself, and there were two guards beside him to help.

"Jump, lie down, turn around, turn around..."

"Mr. Liu."

"Han Li, you are back. How is it going this time? What are you holding in your hand?"

"With your help, how can it not go smoothly? This is a lark I bought for you. The weather is getting colder in the future. With it, you will have a little toy to relieve boredom in the house."

"Hahaha, I have a job to relieve boredom, but I can't leave the house when it's cold."

Han Li accompanied Mr. Liu to train the dog for a while, and stayed here for lunch before leaving on his bicycle.

However, Han Li turned into the grove near Longtan Lake on his way home. He hoped to see something different this time, otherwise this winter would be very boring.

Especially the Yun sisters were often alone at home during the day, and they needed a fresh and interesting playmate.

Maybe God didn't want to see Han Li, the koi, disappointed, so when he came here again, he found a small wooden box under someone's feet at the entrance.

Han Li approached and saw that there were three yellow and white orange cats curled up inside. It seemed that they were not long after the full moon. Now they were huddled together for warmth due to the cold. However, this little thing happened to be at home with the two sisters.

"Auntie, what did you say about the kittens?"

"Now there are only three left. You can give them as you see fit. The big cat at home has given birth to a litter of kittens. Although these little guys can't eat much, it's not a big deal to keep so many cats at home, so it doesn't matter how many you give as long as you treat them well."

Han Li squatted down when he heard this. If there were no problems with these three kittens, he planned to buy them all. If there were no more at home, he would take them to Shanghe Village next year.

The three little guys felt Han Li's warm palm and immediately meowed and came over.

Han Li took a quick look and found no problem. He quickly exchanged three kittens from the aunt.

Since the aunt said that this small wooden box was the cat bed at home and she had to take it back when she left, Han Li could only stuff all three little things into his arms.

Although they were not controlled by the primary beast control technique, they lay motionless in Han Li's arms and were very well-behaved.

Han Li held his clothes tightly with one hand to prevent the kittens from falling, and turned around in the grove in this way. It was a pity that he did not see the starlings and parrots he wanted most.

Han Li rode his bike with one hand and held his clothes tightly with the other hand all the time, and kept this posture all the way back home.

At this time, the family members had not returned from get off work yet, and the two sisters felt strange when they saw Han Li's appearance.

"Brother Li, you are not like this. Did you take something from others?"

"Am I that kind of person? This is a toy I bought for you two to keep you company."

Han Li took the kittens out of his arms directly after he finished speaking. They were suddenly pulled away from the warm embrace, and they kicked their legs and meowed.

"Three kittens..."

"Really kittens, I wanted to raise them before, but my mother didn't let me."

"Brother Li, it's too cold outside, give them to me quickly."

It must be said that the two sisters forgot about Han Li after they had kittens.

After they put the kittens in the house, they began to make nests and sand for the kittens.

Han Li did not intervene in all this. It was more meaningful only when they were busy themselves, and the kittens would accompany them at home.

However, when Han's mother came back from get off work, she found three kittens and said with disgust.

"Son, you have just come back for a few days. There are dogs and cats here. Will our home become a zoo in two days?"

"How could it be? The purpose of raising dogs is to let them protect you better. As for these three kittens, we plan to take them to Shanghe Village next year. We will never turn our home into a zoo."

.

Han Li basically did not go out during the next period of time, but he was not idle at home. He and the Yun sisters were doing these chores at home, such as pulling cabbage and honeycomb coal.

Because Han's father and mother had no chance to sell the mountain products and meat that Han Li sent home for the last time this year.

So Yun Jingjing made all kinds of delicious food for her family in various ways, and Han's father and mother were both distressed and happy about it.

Days passed one by one, and soon it came to the year of Jiayin, the month of Bingzi, and the day of Bingshen.

The eighth day of the eleventh lunar month, the twenty-first day of the twelfth solar month.

Han Li originally thought that he would stay at home as usual, but who knew that Yu Daqiang came early this morning.

"Han Li, Han Li, several of our classmates have returned from the countryside. They found my unit yesterday and said they wanted to gather all the classmates in our class together."

"How many have returned? Are there still some who haven't returned?"

"How would I know? Only four people found me together yesterday, and I didn't ask how many people returned."

"Oh, then let me know when you have specific news."

"They are all asking for your news. Maybe they will find our little sister today."
