The water of the pond is not deep, and the safety walked to the middle of this will not reach the knees, because the loess is sticky, so the feet on the riverbed are a bit like stepping on the dough of the dough, soft and not touching the feet, if the water is not really a little cold, it is estimated that it will be very comfortable.

Holding the bamboo basket in both hands, Canghai pressed the basket under the water, stuck it on the riverbed as much as possible, and then slowly moved the basket to the bottom of the shrimp group, and when it was almost close, he pushed it forward and lifted it to the water. When I picked it up, I saw a lot of small shrimp jumping back and forth in the basket.

Not only the small shrimp, but also five or six small hairy fish in the middle, this fish is not big, that is, the length of a knuckle, slightly larger than the small shrimp.

The income from the first basket is not bad, and I can almost receive a small handful of dried shrimp.

took the basket to the shore, Canghai picked up the grass leaves and some moss brought out of the basket, and poured the small shrimp into the bucket, because the small shrimp was small, and some were still caught in the basket, Canghai had to pat the bottom of the basket, so he got the first batch of small shrimp into the bucket.

returned to the pond, and made two baskets back and forth, Canghai felt that it was enough for this meal tonight, so he went ashore and slapped the last basket of small shrimp into the bucket and said to Ping'an: "Ping'an, stop playing, come up and go home."

Ping'an didn't speak, his eyes looked straight ahead.

Cang Hai just wanted to say something, but the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and when he picked it up, he found that it was Wen Yiyi calling.

Since it was Wen Yiyi's call, Canghai put Ping An aside, sat back on his shoes on the shore, and waited for his feet to dry up and talk to Wen Yi on the phone at the same time.

"Are you at home?" said Wen Yiyi.

Hearing Wen Yi's voice, Canghai couldn't help but take the phone away from his ear and look at it, and found that the three words of the incoming message were still displayed on the screen, so he asked: "Why do you kid have a mouthful of Xiangpu, what about your S&P?"

Canghai didn't expect that as soon as these days passed, Wen Yiyi's original standard Mandarin was changed to a village language, and a thick local accent, if it weren't for Wen Yiyi's tone and tone, Canghai would have thought that he was talking on the phone with an old farmer in the countryside.

"I don't have time to dwell on these things with you, let me ask you if you are at home?" Wen Yiyi said directly.

"What are you doing at home?" asked Canghai.

Wen Yi replied: "I want to talk to you about the company! Don't run around at home, I'll go over at night." By the way, if you order something delicious, I'll take it to you to sacrifice your belly."

After saying that, Wen Yi hung up the phone on the other end.

Listening to the blind voice in his ears, Canghai muttered to himself: "Is there anything you can't say on the phone, you have to come here."

Muttering and putting the phone in his pocket, Canghai turned his head and found that something that was not slipping away came out in front of his eyes, and it was still squirming, and he was immediately startled.

When he came back to his senses, he found that it was Ping'an, this kid was standing in front of him, and he also grabbed a small yellow eel that was almost ten centimeters in his hand.

"Second brother, look, Huang Eel!"

Ping An said happily to the sea.

Canghai glanced at the little yellow eel and asked, "Where did you catch it?"

Ping'an stretched out his hand and pointed to the opposite side of the pond: "I caught it over there, and I'm going to fry it today?"

Canghai took a look at the little yellow eel in Ping'an's hand, opened his mouth and said, "Let it go, the meat on this body is not as much as the bones, and when it grows up, we will catch it back and fry it."

The yellow eel is too small to eat at all, and there is only one piece for people to eat, and even the iron head can't be fed.

"Released?"

Ping An is a little reluctant, for this kid, the yellow eel is the yellow eel, even if it is so small that it can't be eaten, it can be taken to the collection and sold for money, how can he be willing to let the little yellow eel go.

Seeing Ping'an's face, Canghai guessed his careful thoughts, so he opened his mouth and said: "This yellow eel is not in our village?

I don't know if Canghai's words were listened to or not, or because Canghai has insisted on releasing the yellow eel, Ping'an turned around and returned to the shore and carefully put the little yellow eel in his hand into the pond.

"Go back, go back and eat well, sleep well, grow up quickly, I'll come back and catch you and fry it......" Ping'an watched the little yellow eel disappear into the pond while spitting his mouth.

Peace and sadness came and went quickly, and as soon as he turned around, a smile appeared on his face again, and he didn't care about the water on his feet, and put on his shoes with a smile.

Carrying a bucket and following behind Canghai, Ping An was happy all the way, and seemed to be very satisfied with today's harvest.

When the brothers arrived at the entrance of the village, they had not yet entered the village, and met Li Liren, who was about to leave the village.

"Second Grandpa Li, what are you doing here?" Canghai greeted.

Li Liren said with a smile: "Go and see how the sheep are doing, and prepare to kill one." By the way, do you want mutton?"

"What kind of sheep are you killing for no reason?" asked Cang Hai.

The villagers all have the old sheep raised last year, except for the year to sell some of the four old sheep left in each household, where is like Canghai, the sheep that have been raised for a year have not fully grown up when they are slaughtered, in addition to giving to the teacher and godmother's house, the remaining some are now almost consumed, who makes Canghai almost every meal is meatless and unhappy.

"Our family has a family of two children and comes back with their children," Li Liren said happily.

When Canghai heard this, he immediately said: "Then you can be regarded as seeing the eldest grandson."

Li Liren has two children, the eldest is a daughter, named Li Lijuan, and the younger is a son named Li Quan.

You may not understand too much about changing relatives, in fact, it is very simple that your daughter marries my son, and my son takes your daughter, and there is always less such a thing to marry a daughter-in-law in a poor place, like the previous Sijiaping Village, who has no money and wants to marry a daughter-in-law, is generally operated like this if there are conditions.

"Yes, the little guy hasn't seen him for a few months, and he still thinks strangely," Li Liren said happily.

Li Quan's son is not very old, that is, six or seven years old, Canghai has never seen it, but I heard from the people in the village that the little guy has a tiger head and a tiger brain, which is very likable.

"By the way, let's get down to business, do you want mutton?" asked Li Liren.

Decided to kill a sheep, Li Liren's family alone must not be able to eat, even if it is eaten, the villagers are not necessarily willing to eat it all, at this time it is usually the whole village to share a point, sometimes you can use the money to settle, sometimes you can wait for other families to kill the sheep, and then exchange for a piece of mutton, anyway, the way of trading is very free, and the small accounts between the villagers will be remembered clearly.

Canghai said: "Of course I want it, you pick up a piece of good meat and give me a piece, I am Han Xin's soldier for meat, the more the merrier."

"Okay, I'll pick up a few catties of meat for you, and I'll talk about it later if you don't have money," Li Liren said immediately when he heard it.

After speaking, he smiled at Canghai and turned around and walked towards the place where he was herding sheep.

Canghai continued to walk home with Ping'an, Tiger Head and Iron Head, and met two or three villagers on the way, or nodded or chatted a few words, and it took ten minutes to finish the path home.

Since Wen Yi is coming over, Canghai began to plan what to eat at night, now that the fresh mutton is available, there is no shortage of other Canghai at home, not to mention fresh vegetables, there are all vegetable gardens, there are too many things to do, this is okay and that, Canghai scratched his head.

The last thought is a little simpler, let's just have a mutton pot, anyway, the weather is quite cold now, just eat a warm pot and get a bottle of wine, and the two brothers just drink and chat.

Thinking of this, Cang Pan said to Ping'an: "Go, Ping'an, follow me to the garden to get some food."

Ping An is not a stealing child, as long as Canghai greets, he immediately automatically happily takes the basket, and follows Canghai to the vegetable garden.

I picked some fresh vegetables, got two potatoes, a radish, soaked yuba bought from the town, tofu skin, etc., so that four or five kinds of fresh vegetables with three or four plates of soy products, shabu-shabu is ready.

The dishes were all set, Canghai waited for Li Liren's family to kill the sheep, waited for a while and saw no news, and waited for a while and there was no news, and then Canghai couldn't sit still a little and walked directly to Li Liren's house.

From Canghai's house to Li Liren's house, you only need to walk about 50 meters to the east, and then you will arrive at the next small dirt slope.

Before I arrived at Li Liren's house, I saw a busy scene on the earthen platform in front of Li Liren's house, many villagers were there, a few men were helping to get sheep, and the other part was squatting together while smoking and chatting. As for the mothers-in-law in the village, most of them are helping Li's second grandmother Liu Aifen before and after.

The villagers are like this, if there is a big event in the family, everyone will reach out if they can, and they will gather around to watch the excitement if they don't need it. Canghai likes this atmosphere very much, and feels humane, unlike everyone in the community who almost doesn't care about other people's affairs when the door is closed.

"The Sea Baby is Coming"

"Well, where are they?"

After saying hello, Canghai squatted down next to the crowd, took out a cigarette from his pocket and scattered it.

"Would you like to help?"

Canghai greeted the busy crowd.

Li Liren, who was skinning sheepskin, smiled: "No, you can rest over there."

Li Licheng smiled at Canghai and said: "What can you help, I'm honest here to watch your second grandfather Li peel sheep, his sheep peeling skills are not bad."

Canghai smiled and asked, "How many of you are waiting for mutton?"

"We're going to try it, a pound and a half," Wei Wenkui said.

Hearing what Wei Wenkui said, the old people who were squatting nodded one after another.

The big guy is not like Canghai, he can almost eat meat as a staple food, and they all have to get some taste, mutton is so expensive, although it is someone else's family who kills sheep, but they also have to think about how to pay it back.

"I want this sheep's head today"

"Sheep ball, none of you should rob me."

……

Canghai didn't find out that these people actually like sheep and groceries, the sheep haven't been killed yet, and the head, four hooves and internal organs are all gone.
