"That's good. Liu Qingshan said happily, "When I saw you in the morning, I only dug a few trees, I thought that you could only dig ten trees at most today, but I didn't expect that there were fifteen trees." ”

"Haha, no way, look at my two children at home, I don't work hard, how can I live this day. ”

Although her mother's tone was very relaxed, after Agui heard these words in her ears, she still felt sad.

But the more this happened, the more determined he became to give up his studies.

"Qingshan, please go to school to pick up Agui today, I really don't know how to thank you. Agui's mother was full of gratitude to Liu Qingshan.

Aoyama's child not only provided her with a job with a good income, but also took good care of her family. I really don't know what good things I did in my previous life, so I can meet such a noble person as Qingshan in this life.

Liu Qingshan smiled embarrassedly: "No thanks, if you really thank me, then Auntie, you make poached eggs for me to eat tonight, I like to eat poached eggs the most." ”

He thought, this is about the only meat dish that Agui's family can handle.

When Agui's mother heard this, she quickly refused: "No, what kind of eggs do you eat? ”

"Ah, there are fish?" Liu Qingshan was surprised, "Where did you get the fish?"

"Hehe, I put the cage in the river to catch it. Agui's mother said that she was going to go out, "Qingshan, you just wait here, I'll go collect the cage, and later, let's eat fish soup." ”

"Oh, okay. ”

Gui's mother went out.

Ah Gui walked to the kitchen door, looked at Brother Qingshan at the door of the hall with an uneasy expression, and snorted: "Brother Qingshan, you said that you didn't tell my mother about school, don't forget." ”

Liu Qingshan couldn't cry or laugh: "Oh, don't worry, I won't say it if I say it." ”

"Oh. Agui looked at Brother Qingshan, still not very relieved.

Adults' mouths can't be easily believed. Just like my mother said that she didn't like to eat fish, and that she didn't like to eat meat, the adult's mouth would always say something WeChat.

He had to be on guard against Brother Qingshan at all times, and once he found out that he was about to sue, he must immediately interrupt him.

After a while, Agui's mother came back, holding a green net fish cage in her hand, and as soon as she entered the yard, she raised the fish cage in her hand and showed off to Liu Qingshan: "Qingshan, you see, today's harvest is really good, there are more than ten fish." ”

Liu Qingshan greeted him curiously, looked at the small fish that had been poured into the plastic water basin by Agui's mother, and said in surprise: "Ha, there are really more than a dozen, and they are not small." ”

"Haha, maybe God also knows that you are going to eat at my house tonight, so he specially arranged these small fish for me. Agui's mother smiled, "Don't look at these fish are not big, but the taste is definitely much stronger than the big fish sold on the street." ”

"I know that. Liu Qingshan scratched his cheeks and said, "When I was a child, I often ate it, but at that time, there were no fish cages, so I followed my grandfather and used medicine to use fish." ”

"Medicine fish can't do it. Agui's mother said while dealing with the dirt in the fish's stomach, "The medicine fish is too much, it is more excessive than the electric fish, and if you take the medicine, the fish eggs will die, no." ”

"Haha, auntie, the medicine I am talking about is not poison, it is the herb in our mountain, the medicine is immortal fish, but the fish is dizzy, and then it can't run, so it can be easily caught. ”

"Is there such a medicine mother?" said Gui's mother in surprise.

Ah Gui also felt very novel, and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, waiting for the next thing with an expectant face.

Liu Qingshan helped to deal with the fish intestines and said, "Of course there is, there are a lot, there are many of them, and the village road is everywhere." ”

"Brother Qingshan, then let's go to the medicinal fish together tomorrow, okay?" Ah Gui forgot the troubles in his heart for a while, and said very enthusiastically, "Let's go to the medicinal fish together tomorrow." ”

There are a lot of medicines and fish, so that my mother can eat enough.

Liu Qingshan glanced back at Ah Gui, and saw that the gloom on Ah Gui's face was swept away, replaced by joyful anticipation, so he couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay, tomorrow Saturday, let's go to Yaoyu together." However, I have one condition. ”

"What conditions?" Gui's joy suddenly disappeared.

I guess I want him to study hard or something. If this is the case, then the medicine fish is not much fun.

"Well, it's okay to go to the medicine fish tomorrow, but after the medicine fish is over, you have to accompany me to the town. ”

"Huh?" This condition really made Ah Gui feel inexplicable. However, he gladly agreed that if he could go to town, he could visit his sister who couldn't go home this weekend because she had to make up for classes.

After the fish was washed, Agui's mother patted some ginger and put the more than ten fish into the pot to cook the soup.

Although these wild little fish are not as big as the farmed fish sold on the street, they are not too small in the wild fish, almost the size of two fingers.

More than a dozen fish of this size tumbled in the soup in the pot, and bursts of fragrance came out with the heat.

Liu Qingshan could smell the fragrance when he sat in the courtyard.

In fact, this fish is not a precious fish, but a very common white fish in the mountains.

White-striped fish are carps?? A species of fish of the genus.

Don't look at this guy's small size, but because it is widely distributed, there are quite a lot of nicknames. Strips, minnows, seeds, white minnows, white pigtails, blue saury, swimming diaozi, green scales, sharp-beaked seeds, silver carp, meal sticks, rice noodles, and Sichuan strips are its nicknames.

It is said that these guys are also called by strange names such as white minnow, meal stick, bitter trough boy, tarpon boy, and chili boy.

Of course, its most common names are: White Feather (female), Red Feather (male), Bitter Trough, Tarpon Tsai, Chili Tsai, White Strip, White Pig, Green Scale, Sharp Beak, Floating Silver, Meal, Meal Fish, etc.

Because the white stripe is a primary freshwater fish, it has high requirements for water quality, and it is often difficult for them to survive in places where the water quality is generally poor. However, once they survive in a place with the right water quality, they can reproduce at a considerable rate.

In addition, the white stripe is similar in appearance to the horsemouth and the billfish, so it is often difficult to distinguish between them.

However, they are all fish, their value is almost the same, and they all belong to wild products with high nutritional value, high protein and high nutrition.

After the fish soup was cooked, the three of them began to enjoy this simple but extraordinarily delicious dinner in the dim light.

Because Liu Qingshan was a guest, Agui's mother also fried a few poached eggs and fried a plate of green vegetables.

The poached eggs fried from the farmer's native eggs and duck eggs, together with fresh farmhouse vegetables and wild white strips in the river, this meal is unremarkable and unpretentious, but it is also full of chic charm.

It is as if it is not the vegetables that come to your mouth, but the mountains, the streams, and the first rays of sunshine that fall on the yard on every sunny day.

Needless to say, the deliciousness of the fish is naturally too common, whether it is for Agui or Liu Qingshan, the taste of this fish is too ordinary.

Because the Agui family is poor, they can only rely on the game in the river to supplement their nutrition.

And Liu Qingshan's situation when he was a child was similar, so the two of them didn't have much feeling about the taste of the little white strip, and they could only say that it was delicious and delicious.

However, for others, the taste must be incomparable.

This person refers to Agui's mother.

Although Agui's mother has been fishing for fish and nets all year round, she is always reluctant to eat the fish she catches, so she leaves all the small fish to the children under the pretext that she doesn't like to eat fish.

This lie has lasted for more than ten years, so for more than ten years, she has really not tasted the taste of Xiaobaitiao once.

Agui didn't understand the truth when he was a child, but now that he has grown up and seen more, he understands it.

He also wants his mother to eat at one time, and deeply engrave the taste of the little white strip into his taste buds.

Therefore, early in the morning, Liu Qingshan had not gotten up yet, but he had already run from the other village to the old village.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he shouted Brother Qingshan.

Wu Cuimei was boiling tea, and when she heard the movement in the courtyard, she hurriedly came out to check.

Seeing that the person who came was Ah Gui, he was not surprised: "Ah Gui, this early in the morning, why are you here, is something wrong?"

Wu Cuimei remembered that Agui was hospitalized before, and thought that Agui's family had encountered something similar again, so she was very anxious.

Agui said with a smile: "Auntie, it's okay, I made an appointment with Brother Qingshan yesterday, and I'm going to catch fish together today." ”

"Catch fish?" Wu Cuimei's brows furrowed again.

It's normal for a child like Agui to catch fish, a child, who loves to play, understandable.

However, my own sons are in their twenties, so why do they still play with children?

"Yes, I told Brother Qingshan yesterday that we will go fishing together today, what about Brother Qingshan?" asked Agui.

His oxen were still tethered to the bamboo bushes next to the village road below, so he couldn't delay too long.

"He hasn't gotten up yet. Wu Cuimei said, "Agui, you come in first to have a cup of tea, I'm making tea." ”

"Nope. Ah Gui refused without thinking about it, "I'll go herd the cattle first, and when Brother Qingshan gets up, you let him go to the stone bridge at the end of the village to find me." ”

"Agui. Liu Qingshan walked out, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and asked incomprehensibly, "Why are you so early?"

"The sooner you can, you'll be able to catch more fish. Agui grinned, "You just woke up so ugly, there is still saliva at the corner of your mouth, haha, I'll take the cow to the stone bridge at the end of the village to graze first, I'll wait for you there." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and turned to run.

Liu Qingshan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and muttered: "If you don't study seriously, when it comes to catching fish, he is so active." ”

"Qingshan, you are really, you are a handful of old people, why do you still go to catch fish with children, you are not afraid of the village gossip about you. Wu Cuimei muttered, "Others are as old as you, the children are in elementary school, look at you, and you still play with primary school students, you say you, are you lacking in heart?"

"Mom~~" Liu Qingshan said speechlessly, "I just want to help Agui, and I want to slowly enlighten him, so I said that I want to take him to catch fish." ”

"Enlighten Agui?" Wu Cuimei thought it was funny, "Agui is much more sensible than you, he still needs you to enlighten?"

"You don't understand, Agui's academic performance has been very poor recently, and he doesn't seem to want to study anymore, so I have to enlighten him. ”

"Huh?" This news really surprised Wu Cuimei, "Agui's academic performance is so good, why don't you want to study?"

"Heck, I don't know the specific reason, anyway, I'll enlighten him slowly. Let him be back to the old Agui who worked hard and excelled in his studies. ”

Wu Cuimei frowned and muttered: "Isn't it early love? I heard that children can be open now, and they talk about girlfriends in the first grade of primary school. ”

Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he felt that his mother's words were not unreasonable.

Because he has been surfing the Internet recently, he has indeed seen a lot of similar news.

For example, some elementary school students hug and kiss or something, which is really unsightly.

It is said that today's children are precocious, coupled with the spread of television, the age of children's early love is many years earlier than their time.

So, this guy Agui, shouldn't he really fall in love?

Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but think of an incident in elementary school.

That's the sixth grade, so he's twelve.

Then, in the fifth grade, there was a couple of early lovers, about eleven or twelve years old, the two were in early love, and the girl was pregnant.

In the end, both were dropped out of school. After Liu Qingshan went to junior high school, when he saw the young love couple again, the two twelve or thirteen-year-old children had already become parents, one carrying a wet nurse bag and the other carrying a little doll.

At the time, I was only surprised, but now that I think about it, I only feel sad.

Will Ah Gui become that kind of person? Liu Qingshan couldn't believe it.

However, at the moment, he can't seem to think of any other reason than this.

What else can make a child with excellent grades suddenly change his temperament, become disinclined to study, and even have the idea of not wanting to study?

It seems that there is only early love.

It seems that he must enlighten Agui well.

After breakfast, Liu Qingshan came to the stone bridge at the end of the village as promised.

There used to be a few mud-brick houses, but those old houses collapsed more than a decade ago. Therefore, now this place is considered to be a flat land, and the weeds are fragrant, and it is indeed a good place to nuisance cattle.

The point is that the small river in the village flows right here, which is also a good place to fish.

When Liu Qingshan arrived here, Agui was lying on the low guardrail of the stone bridge and looking at the water under the bridge.

His cattle were grazing leisurely on the green grass not far away.

The brook was rattling, and the calf ran from time to time with joy, so that the cow could not help but teach her a few words, and let out a howl.

Ah Gui was about to look up at the cattle at this time, his eyes swept over the herd, and when he saw that there were no fewer of them, he turned back and continued to stare at the small fish and shrimp in the river.

Although the river is not large, it has a clear flow and a lot of water, so it breeds many strange fish.
