Chapter 172 Eat Corn

In the room, Du Zhongkun turned off the lights, lay down beside the bed again, and fell asleep soon.

Du Jingyi came out of the door, looked at the messy house, sighed, and said, "Brother, you and Xiaotao go to bed first, I'll clean up the room."

Chen Weiche smiled and said, "I'm very energetic, why don't I help you." Originally, he could do it alone, but this is Du Jingyi's home. Du Jingyi has to make the decision on some things, such as where to put them, he doesn't know.

"Okay." Du Jingyi felt warm and nodded.

Du Xiaotao shouted: "Then I will be together, you two can't work. I'll go to sleep alone, that's too unreasonable!"

"Haha, when did you become so sensible?" Du Jingyi touched her brother's hair lovingly and said with a smile.

"That's right, they've grown up!" Du Xiaotao raised his head and said proudly. He didn't know that this kid had destroyed the world of his sister and Chen Weiche.

Of course, Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi would not blame him, and they both laughed. Of course, the laughter did not dare to be too loud, for fear of affecting Du Jingyi's parents' rest in the room. Then the three of them started cleaning and tidying things. After finishing the living room, they tidy up other rooms and then went to clean the yard, because there were many things sent by neighbors and elders in the yard, and they had to be put away and placed in different categories.

When they arrived in the yard, the three of them spoke a little louder.

"Xiao Tao, move this corn to the kitchen!"

"Okay!" Du Xiaotao acted immediately, but he hugged the tender corn, smelled the fragrance of raw corn, and couldn't help but scream, and smiled at Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi with some embarrassment.

Du Jingyi smiled and said, "What a greedy monkey! Okay, peel the corn and cook it for midnight snack."

Du Xiaotao defended: "Sister, you don't know. Our family hasn't grown corn this year. You know, I like to eat this the most since I was a child, so it's inevitable that I have something to do with it..."

Du Jingyi smiled softly, patted his head, and said, "Okay, forgive you! Go and move the chairs!" Du Xiaotao excitedly brought two chairs, one for his sister and the other for Chen Weiche. He ran into the house again, moved a small stool, and sat between the two with a smile, peeling corn.

Du Jingyi's chairs and small stools are made of good jujube wood on the mountain. They are very strong, heavy, and very comfortable to sit, which is in line with ergonomics. This is all folk wisdom. Just imagine, those masters who make chairs know the bullshit ergonomics. They all rely on their experience and wisdom passed down from generation to generation. They know how to make chairs to make people feel comfortable to sit, while at the same time being beautiful and generous.

Du Jingyi was sentimental and felt sad as she peeled it. She said, "In the past, our family planted a lot of corn. When it was summer and autumn, we couldn't finish it. My mother also sowed the seeds in batches, including early, middle and late corn. This ensures that from June and July in summer to October and November in autumn, there are always corn to eat!"

Du Xiaotao was infinitely unlucky and longing, saying, "Yes, I thought about it so happy before. I love corn the most. Brother Weiche, do you like corn?"

Chen Weiche smiled and said, "Of course I like to eat it. There are quite a few people who don't like to eat it. Moreover, the corn here feels very fragrant, and the raw ones make people feel very appetizing."

"That's right, the raw ones are also very sweet. If you don't believe me, try it!" Du Xiaotao peeled off a grain of tender yellow corn and handed it to Chen Weiche.

Du Jingyi quickly hit his hand and said, "Your hands are dirty, you should eat it yourself!"

Du Xiaotao pursed his mouth and threw it into his mouth, revealing an intoxication. He said to Chen Weiche: "Brother, you can also make one yourself. My sister thinks I am dirty and won't let me eat it for you!"

Du Jingyi said: "Are you dirty? Why don't you tell me?"

Chen Weiche laughed loudly, and also imitated Du Xiaotao to peel off a corn and threw it into his mouth. Sure enough, as soon as he bites it, a sweet juice flows out. The taste of raw food is indeed good. Of course, you can only taste it in a small amount, but it is not as delicious as cooked.

As I was peeling, I found a big bug. Because it was the corn that my family grew up and ate, and basically no pesticides were used. It was normal for me to have insects. Chen Weiche was naturally not afraid of insects. Du Jingyi was born in the countryside and had done a lot of farm work since she was a child, so she was not afraid of it. Du Xiaotao was naughty and played with the insects for a while. Then he fed the old hen sent by the elders next door. When he came back, he smiled and said, "The chicken fell asleep. I woke me up a little unhappy and wanted to peck me. But when he saw such a fat insect on my hand, he immediately croaked excitedly. As soon as I threw it, it ate it in one bite! Unfortunately, our family did not raise chickens this year."

Du Jingyi said: "Mom is hospitalized, you can also catch a nest of chickens to raise. At least you can eat eggs!"

Then he talked to Chen Weiche about interesting things when he was a child. At that time, her grandmother was still alive and raised many chickens every year. This chicken was hatched by her own eggs. The most interesting thing is that once, an old hen with reed flowers suddenly disappeared. Her grandmother thought it was taken away by a weasel, and she was very sad because the chicken had been raised for almost two years and was usually very well-behaved and spiritual.

As a result, more than a month later, when the rape flowers were in full bloom and the bees were flying in the yard, the chicken suddenly emerged from the pile of firewood behind the house, and behind him were more than a dozen cute little chickens, chirping. The surprise of suddenly seeing so many little lives in the spring season is simply indescribable.

That's because the chicken secretly hid the eggs outside and hatched them secretly.

Du Xiaotao said: "Sister, you don't know. Raising chickens is difficult now. Not only weasels, but also terrible chicken plague. This spring, I bought more than a dozen chickens from the town to raise them. As a result, I went to school and my dad took care of my mother in the hospital. Several chickens were taken away by weasels. Fortunately, the third uncle next door discovered it in time and saved the remaining seven or eight. Unfortunately, these seven or eight chickens have been growing for a few months. They are about to start laying eggs, but suddenly they all die of chicken plague!"

Chen Weiche was shocked and said, "Can it be avian flu?"

Du Jingyi immediately asked nervously, "Did you eat the dead chicken?" In the countryside, the chickens were reluctant to throw them away when they died. Even if they were chicken plague, they thought that they would not eat the internal organs and disinfection with high temperatures, it would be fine, so they often ate the dead chickens.

Du Xiaotao immediately said proudly: "Dad wants to eat, but I tried my best to stop him from letting him go to the back mountain to bury him. Sister, you have told me about the avian flu, and I remember it!"

"Haha, you are smart. Nowadays, avian flu often breaks out. Don't eat dead chickens and ducks. If you find that a chicken is sick, you can also get rid of it as soon as possible. Or isolate it. Let me tell you that this year, a highly pathogenic avian flu broke out in Qingshui. All live poultry markets were closed. Many people were infected and several died. Thanks to your brother Wei Che, who turned the tide!"

Immediately, Du Jingyi told Chen Weiche's heroic deeds to curb avian flu. She was very eloquent, and perhaps she had often told stories to her younger brother since she was a child. This story was vivid, ups and downs, and it made Du Xiaotao stunned. Her admiration for Chen Weiche was like a surging river, continuous.

"Oh, no, as sister, as you say, then, can we eat that old hen in the kitchen? Wouldn't it be a waste not to eat it?" Du Xiaotao shouted.

Chen Weiche smiled and said, "I have seen that chicken. It is healthy and sick, and there is no avian flu virus lurking. You can rest assured!"

Du Xiaotao said in surprise: "Brother Weiche, you can not only treat people, but also treat chickens? Have you learned it as a veterinarian?"

Du Jingyi cursed: "How do you talk? What a veterinarian!"

Chen Weiche laughed and said, "It's okay. In fact, whether it's human or animal, medical principles are similar. This is the truth that one method understands everything."

Of course, ordinary doctors can't do it, but Chen Weiche's excellent medical skills have reached a state of superb and returning to nature. It is naturally no problem to check the health of a mere chicken.

Moreover, the avian flu has passed now, otherwise they would not dare to eat local chickens and ducks.

After peeling the corn, Du Xiaotao asked Du Xiaotao to cook in the kitchen to watch the fire, while Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi were cleaning outside. After a while, the fragrance of corn wafted out. Du Xiaotao put it in a bamboo basket, moved it out, and placed it on the stone in the yard. Then the three of them sat together and ate the corn.

The sky is high and the moon is clear and the wind is clear and the stars are bright. Although the mountain village is remote, the scenery is actually pleasant, especially the stars are shining everywhere, which is absolutely unseen in the city. Du Jingyi asked Du Xiaotao to take a few to his father. Du Xiaotao was very obedient and put five or six in a bowl, took it in, and said that his father was asleep. He quietly placed the corn on the table and then came out.

At night, Du Jingyi's mother woke up and wanted to drink water. Du Zhongkun woke up when he heard the movement and smelled the fragrance of corn. When he turned on the light, he saw a pot of fragrant corn, which was golden in color. It was thought that his daughter had cooked it here. He couldn't help but feel very relieved. He fed his wife a little water, then picked up a corn cob, peeled it off and fed it to his wife.

Du Jingyi's mother took Chen Weiche's medicine and was acupuncture again. After sleeping for so long, she was hungry and ate very well. She ate three times in a row. She ate rare and did not vomit.

At the same time, Du Zhongkun told his wife about his daughter. It was nothing more than A Jing brought her boyfriend back. How should they deal with it? According to common etiquette, at least he had to give Chen Weiche some red envelopes. But Du Zhongkun was very ashamed of this situation at home. (To be continued.
