Chapter 210 Can it be extended for ten years?
"Little Duck? Why don't you speak?" Secretary Wang turned his head and looked over.
The duckling then said softly, "Usually, to catch centipedes, you can use some chicken bones, cover them with grass or rotten tiles, and then you can wait until the centipede comes out, but..."
"but?"
"But it's early spring now, so the centipedes haven't started to move yet."
Secretary Wang exclaimed softly, "So we have to catch up with the season."
"Well, it will be easier to catch them when the Waking of Insects comes. Grasshoppers are easiest to catch between summer and autumn. Spiders will become easier to catch when the rainy season starts in May. Cicada pupae usually emerge from the ground and climb onto trees in June and July..."
Secretary Wang was not discouraged after hearing this and said, "What if we drive an excavator over here and turn the land over?"
The duckling said nothing, just looked at him silently.
Secretary Wang stared at her in silence for five seconds.
"Well, it seems that this won't work. I still want to take a plane back after digging. Let's fry it and eat it while it's hot." Secretary Wang leaned against the tree. "What should we eat now?"
The duck turned around and asked the assistant who was following far behind: "Did you bring a thermometer?"
"Uh, I didn't bring it. What's wrong?" The assistant didn't know that Secretary Wang had a fever in the morning.
"We have to go buy one." The duckling decided.
The assistant looked at Secretary Wang silently.
Secretary Wang spread his hands and said, "Then buy it."
They retreated out of the woods and headed toward their car, which was parked on the side of the road.
There is no one selling this thing in the village, so you have to go to town.
But just as he reached the car, the duck stopped in his tracks: "Aunt Man?"
Aunt Man, who was standing there in a daze, suddenly came back to her body and said in a startled voice, "Little Duck? It's really you!"
Secretary Wang leaned against the car and said with a smile, "Now she's not called Little Duck, this is Miss Zhang Ruoshui."
Aunt Man's eyes showed a little panic. She rubbed her hands awkwardly, thinking why is it just like acting in a TV show...
There was a luxury car parked, and there were some secretary-like people standing beside her, and there was also this young man who looked very rich, and you had to call him "Miss" or "Master" when you spoke to him.
Aunt Man didn't dare to speak, so her husband asked, "Did you change your name?"
Secretary Wang spoke first: "Yes, didn't you see the news? Her grandfather adopted her and her family name is Zhang. You can search it on the Internet."
Aunt Man was stunned: "Isn't her father Li Jiang?"
"Li Jiang? The name of the fugitive? He is not."
Aunt Man sighed, "That's right, how could he give birth to a duckling, no, how could someone like Miss Zhang give birth to a duckling?"
She thought, is that what it's called?
Aunt Man's husband's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Xiaoya cautiously: "Well, then this time when I come back..."
Are they going to vent their anger by destroying the entire Lijia Village?
After all, she is not Li Jiang's daughter anymore, so there is no need to talk about the last bit of face.
"I was digging for centipedes, but I didn't find any." The duckling answered crisply.
"Dig, dig centipedes?" The couple opposite were stunned for a moment.
"Um."
"Haven't you eaten yet? How about... come to my place for dinner?" Aunt Man asked cautiously.
"No."
Hearing these two words, although Aunt Man was a little disappointed, she also knew that the little girl was no longer a little duck in the mountain village.
"We are going to town to do some shopping," the duckling continued.
Aunt Man asked hurriedly: "What do you want to buy? There is a small shop in the village."
"That store sells only knock-off items..."
"No, no, there's a new one now." Aunt Man smiled sheepishly, "I opened it. That, that brother Dou, he gave me the idea and he also sells medicine."
Aunt Man emphasized: "He also told me that he was helping me for you, saying that I was nice to you in the past... Actually, I didn't do anything."
As Aunt Man spoke, she smiled sheepishly again, and wrinkles formed long lines at the corners of her eyes, but the sadness was finally replaced by hopeful joy.
The duckling's eyes lit up.
When she returns to the county, she will also go to see Dou Dawei.
Secretary Wang interrupted and asked, "What are you doing for dinner?"
Secretary Wang looked very friendly, but city people like Sheng Yuxiao had left a very deep and sharp impression on Lijia Village, so much so that Aunt Man was a little afraid to talk to city people.
He only said weakly: "Sweet potato rice, steam some meat, kill a chicken, and stir-fry some mushrooms and bamboo shoots..."
Secretary Wang turned around and asked Xiaoya: "How is her cooking skill?"
Aunt Man was stunned. She felt that the young man in front of her was very... different!
He only cared about whether her cooking was delicious.
The duck nodded: "If there is not much food, we can't make it taste bad. If it tastes bad, it will be wasted. That's why Aunt Man cooks delicious food."
Secretary Wang clapped his hands and said, "Then go eat. Do you sell thermometers now?"
Aunt Man was flattered and replied, "Yes, yes."
Aunt Man didn't expect that she actually invited the guests.
Her man was running ahead very fast, hurrying back to clean up the house so as not to embarrass the guests.
The roads along the way were all familiar, but the duckling's mood had completely changed.
Secretary Wang would chat with her from time to time.
"What is that?"
“Rapeseed fields.”
"What about that?"
"For those who grow water chestnuts, they are the sweetest in January."
Secretary Wang suddenly stopped talking and just stared at the duck.
The duck felt strange being stared at, and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Secretary Wang?"
Secretary Wang smiled and said, "Ah, people with life experience are very attractive."
The duck whispered, "That's because you have too little life experience!"
Secretary Wang heard her mumbling but didn't care. He smiled and said, "Take me there next January."
The duckling was a little confused: "You are an adult, and a rich adult, couldn't you eat these before?"
"Do you know what an information cocoon is?"
The duckling shook his head when he heard the sound.
"People are confined to the circle they live in. It doesn't matter whether you are rich or poor. People in the mountains cannot see the world in the city. People in the city cannot see the world in the mountains."
Secretary Wang paused for a moment and said, "Oh, to put it in human terms, the people around me will think that the water chestnuts you mentioned are too cheap and unworthy of being served to me, and I won't know when they are most delicious."
Secretary Wang shrugged and said, "We are all frogs at the bottom of a well, but it's good..."
His eyes turned and fell on the duck: "You have become the connection between the two worlds. You let me see new things, very interesting things, things I like."
Xiaoya looked at him and said seriously: "Secretary Wang, you are also a very interesting person."
Secretary Wang smiled happily: "I like to hear that. This world is too boring. How can people spend their long lives without finding some fun..."
"Isn't your life interesting enough?" asked the duckling curiously.
Secretary Wang smiled and said something that deserved a beating: "If one day you find that people in this world are so easy to manipulate, and everything is so easy to accomplish according to your wishes, you will also find it boring."
The duckling accused him quietly, "So whatever you choose to raise will die."
Secretary Wang pretended not to hear and raised his voice slightly to ask Aunt Man: "Do you have chestnuts? I want to eat chestnuts."
He turned to the duck and said, "I saw you popping chestnuts for them on the show. They looked delicious. I want to try some, too."
The duckling told him mercilessly: "The chestnut trees are not in bloom yet."
"Then what should I eat?"
"orange."
Secretary Wang suddenly stopped talking again.
The duckling couldn't help but turn his head and look at him.
Secretary Wang only heard her sigh softly: "Can you stay with me for ten years?"
Duckling:?
Secretary Wang counted on his fingers: "In January, take me to eat water chestnuts, in February, take me to eat oranges, ... in May, take me to eat spiders..."
Only in this way can you feel that you are living seriously in this world.
Secretary Wang didn't finish his words.
"We're here." Aunt Man turned around and looked at them.
