Chapter 259: Little Hachiko is miserable
When things were progressing rapidly under the impetus of Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi himself was quietly enjoying the vacation time.
But the silence didn't last long.
Because in the morning, the little girl listened to the little ones on the other side of the door say a lot of interesting things.
And most of these fun things are set against the background of the wild river not far from Jiang Yi's house.
So as soon as she got home at noon, the little girl yelled for her father to take her to the river in the afternoon.
The old man and the old lady were a little opposed to the little guy's request.
In their minds, it is always dangerous for a child to be close to the river.
Although the wild river has not entered the flood season, there are many places where the water is either deep or rapid.
But the little girl is very stubborn, trying to convince her grandparents.
"Rui Rui, you tell Dad, why do you have to go to the river to play?"
Jiang Yi didn't object much to this, after all, with himself by her side, it was absolutely impossible for the little girl to appear in the water and capsize.
However, he is also a little curious about the little girl's inexplicable yearning for the river.
"Dad, in the morning, the father of the little horn caught a big crab for him in the river, and the crab is still soft, so it's fun!"
"Squishy crabs?"
Jiang Yi suddenly remembered, it has been June, as the saying goes, "Boy crab, June yellow, young man becomes a big man!"
The meaning of this phrase is that in June, the crab molts for the last time before reaching adulthood, and immediately begins to reach maturity.
At this time, the crab meat is plump, and I heard the old people say that it also has the effect of strengthening muscles and bones!
The kind of soft crab that the little girl saw was because the crab had shed a new layer of shell, and the new shell had not yet grown hard.
"Okay, then this afternoon, Dad will take you to fish and catch crabs!"
Jiang Yi directly responded to the little girl's request, and the old couple had no choice but to say that they would follow in the afternoon.
After lunch, the little girl took out her little rain boots and put them on her feet, and Jiang Yi also prepared a fishing gear and a small bucket waiting for them to change their clothes.
The old man didn't know where to find an inflatable life jacket, so he couldn't help but say that he wanted to put it on the little girl.
"Dad, this life jacket is too big, she can't wear it at all, and besides, you lead her to catch crabs, and you won't go to the deep water!"
Jiang Yi looked at the two grandchildren who were chasing and fleeing, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
At this time, crabs like to bask in the sun, either on the shore or in shallow puddles of no more than twenty centimeters.
Wearing a life jacket in such a place is a bit too exaggerated.
"Okay, don't wear it now, bring it, and let your mom make it smaller later!"
The old man listened to his son's advice and finally let the little girl go.
Soon, the old and young family walked towards the small river two or three miles away.
Along the way, the little girl was wearing rain boots, and when she saw a small puddle, she couldn't help but run over and step on her feet.
After she stepped on it, Hachiko also followed, and after a while, he became a dirty dog.
The little girl's white T-shirt and cropped pants were also stained with a lot of mud, but even so, it didn't stop her playfulness.
The family walked for more than 20 minutes with laughter and laughter, and finally arrived at the small river.
At this time, the water of the river is extremely clear, and even in the deepest places, you can see the aquatic plants at the bottom of the water.
Jiang Yi found a fishing spot by the river that seemed to be suitable, and after setting up a chair and putting away the fishing tackle, he began to help the little girl find a place to catch crabs.
This small river, when full of water, can reach a width of nearly 80 meters.
But now, it is not the season of good water, and both sides of it have receded dozens of meters of wet riverbed.
And this area is the best habitat for crabs.
After Jiang Yi looked at the river, he walked to a small puddle and directly moved a large pebble.
Then I saw a fist-sized crab underneath that was about to slip away.
"Ruirui, bring your little bucket, Daddy has found the crab!"
There was a win in the first battle, and Jiang Yi was also childlike, so he directly pressed it down with his hand and successfully caught the crab.
The little girl carried a small bucket, stepped on a small puddle, and ran over with a smile all the way.
Behind her, Qin Shuyi chased with open hands, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
After Jiang Yi caught the crab in the bucket, he looked at the river beach and said with a smile:
"Mom, you can go over here with An An and Xiyue, I promise you will have a full harvest.
However, there is one thing to be aware of, some crabs are still very hard when they are shelling late, and some of the pincers that are shelling early are also hardened, beware of being caught!"
After Jiang Yi explained, he took Old Man Jiang to the fishing position to hook and fish.
When the little girl saw the water, it was like seeing her fate, and she was playing crazy, but the old lady was always afraid of this and that.
If Jiang Yi stayed here, he would definitely become a judge, and he wouldn't be this thankless person.
"Chen'er, the child is older, your free-range education needs to be changed!"
The old man sat on the chair, skillfully hanging bait and throwing hooks, looking at the little guy who was hiding from his grandmother everywhere not far away, and couldn't help but say his own opinion.
"Don't worry, Dad, she's going to school after this summer, and she'll slowly become regular!"
Jiang Yi was not ready to talk about this matter for the old man, and after prevaricating, he found another topic.
The father and son also talked more and more speculatively, although they didn't see the fish taking the bait, but they could also hear the laughter of the two of them from time to time.
Of course, no matter how good the laughter of the two of them is, it can't compare to the laughter of the little girl.
After Jiang Yi emptied the hook twice, he said with some annoyance:
"It must be that this little girl's voice is too noisy, and all the fish have run away!"
The old man laughed and said nothing, and after his son complained, he successfully caught one, and after walking with the pole for a few minutes, he dragged a four-pound grass carp ashore.
"Young man, you have to be calm, fishing, just be patient!"
The old man smiled and beckoned his granddaughter to come and see the fish, and after receiving some praise from Rui Rui, he smiled even more presumptuously.
When the little girl came over, she was naturally carrying her small bucket, and in just a while, there were already eight fat crabs in her bucket.
Just like Jiang Yi said, there are two that are obviously not the kind that have just molted, their claws are fiercely open, and they seem to be very unwilling to get into trouble.
When the little girl looked at the fish, she put her small bucket next to it, and concentrated on teasing the fish with a small stick under the care of her grandfather.
And at this time, Hachiko, who had been chasing the little girl, had a great curiosity about the little bucket.
Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, it directly stuck its head into the bucket.
This can be regarded as a crime, a crab is "angry", and directly clamped the mouth of Xiao Hachiko.
The little Hachiko howled miserably, so frightened that the little girl sat directly on the ground, and when she looked back, she saw that it was shaking its head and trying to get the crab off its mouth.
"Hey, are you going to steal crabs?"
The little girl didn't know why, so she got up and clapped her hands and walked over to the little Hachiko.
But Xiao Hachiko was pinched and hurt, so he directly raised his legs and ran on the river beach.
It's like running to throw a crab off.
