Chapter 234: Digging Loaches (2/2)
"Little brother, did you paint another picture?"
When the eldest sister came back from sending the package, she saw that Zhang Feng was framing a new painting, and asked with a smile after a cursory look.
"That's right, I saw everyone's autumn harvest at the entrance of the village today, and I thought the scenery in the rice field was good, so I painted this picture, eldest sister, how about you see what I painted?" Zhang Feng asked with a smile.
"Well, yes, yes, if only I could draw it so well!" The autumn harvest picture in front of the eldest sister looked intoxicated, and then said enviously.
"Hehe, as long as you are willing to learn, I can teach you when you have time!" Zhang Feng smiled and knew that the eldest sister was a very serious person, as long as she wanted to learn, she would definitely learn quickly, but it was not necessary to say whether she could reach her own level, this not only required hard work but also a certain amount of talent, of course, if the eldest sister could have a golden finger like Zhang Feng, of course, she could also do it.
"Let's talk about it later......" The eldest sister shook her head, although she envied her brother's calligraphy and painting skills, but it was only an impulse, and she quickly calmed down, feeling that she didn't like painting very much, but when she saw her brother's painting well, she had the illusion that she wanted to learn to paint.
Zhang Feng smiled slightly and nodded, knowing the eldest sister's thoughts, so he continued to frame the painting in his hand, and finally finished framing it after about ten minutes, found a vacant space on the wall of the hall, and nailed it Zhang Feng hung this beautiful autumn harvest picture in the hall.
………………
In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived
Today's weather is very good, not only is there no aggressive scorching sun in the past, but it is very refreshing, and it is the best weather for the villagers who are busy with the autumn harvest.
"Little sister, are you ready, let's go!" In the morning, Zhang Feng was free to send off the truck pulling vegetables, so he carried a small bucket and a small hoe, ready to take the little sister and the little duck Da Mao and they went to the field to play together, catch grasshoppers, dig loaches and catch yellow eels, it is very interesting to think about.
"Sister Xiaoyue, hurry up...... We've all been waiting for a long time. The little kids had already run to the gate of the courtyard and couldn't wait to shout.
"Ah, what are you busy with, I'll ......come when I change into rubber shoes," the little girl cried out.
…………
"Yo, big brother, where are you going??" Walking to the door of the second uncle's house, my cousin was drying rice on the road, and when he saw Zhang Feng with a group of leather monkeys, he immediately asked curiously.
"We're going to the fields to dig loaches and fish for yellow eels, are you going??" Zhang Feng smiled, the more people in this kind of activity, the more lively it became.
"Go, go, you wait for me......" Zhang Yi has been busy harvesting crops for the past two days, and he has no free time, and today he finally has time, of course, he will not miss such an opportunity, and immediately ran to his home, probably to get equipment.
"Let's go, let's go slowly, he estimates that he will catch up in a while!"
"Let's go, let's go play in the fields!" the little one jumped and jumped and ran happily out of the village.
Because there are a lot of people who go out to work in the village, many fertile fields at the entrance of the village have been barren, no one cultivates and takes care of them, and the inside has become a paradise for yellow eels and loaches, every summer and autumn there are villagers digging loaches and yellow eels in it, not only the half-grown children in the village like it, even the adults in the village will dig up a few yellow eels and loaches to beat their teeth in their free time.
Although there are yellow eels in Zhang Feng's backyard, and even more in the farm, Zhang Feng experiences not only the fun of playing in the wild, the joy of harvest, but also the lively atmosphere with everyone.
……
Yellow eels and loaches are common small animals in paddy fields, and in the past, everyone used pesticides and fertilizers unscrupulously, resulting in the almost extinction of yellow eels and loaches in the fields.
And at that time, the villagers were generally very poor, and there were many people digging yellow eels and loaches in the paddy fields, so it further led to a sharp decline in yellow eels and loaches, knowing that after the new century, everyone's living conditions became better, and the awareness of ecological protection became stronger, and the yellow eels and loaches that gradually disappeared reappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and now there are almost everywhere in the fields, and there is no risk of extinction.
Eels and loaches are common aquatic animals that live in fields or ditches, and they are burrowing animals, hiding themselves in mud holes, leaving one or more exits outside to hunt or arouse breathing.
Whenever they want to hunt, they will hide at the mouth of the hole, carefully observe the movement outside, and whenever they encounter insects flying nearby, they will quickly attack, like lightning to swallow the prey into their mouths.
Therefore, if you want to dig eels and earthworms, as long as you find fresh burrows and keep digging down, you can dig them nine times out of ten, which is the simplest and most crude means.
Of course, yellow eels can also be fished, as long as grasshoppers and other small insects are tied with thin lines, and then put into the hole of the yellow eel**, if there is movement, the yellow eel will crawl out to check, when they find that it is the prey, they will swallow the prey together with the fishing hook into the stomach, but unfortunately the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and they catch the prey and become the trophy of human beings.
"Everyone, be careful, don't stain your clothes and pants, or your father and mother won't kill you when you go home!" Zhang Feng smiled and told the little kids.
"No, my mom didn't kill me when I soiled my clothes last time, she just slapped me in the ass twice. Xiao Shi said fifteen-ten.
"Hee-hee...... Little Stone is really interesting!" Listening to Little Stone's childish answer, Zhang Yue said with a smile.
"You little guy, remember not to get dirty, otherwise I won't take you out to play next time!" Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile and said.
"I know the crazy brother...... "The little ones replied with a smile, and they didn't know if they were at ease
Zhang Feng shook his head, carried a hoe and a bucket and began to look for burrows of eels and loaches in the paddy fields.
Hey, there's a hole here
A few seconds later, Zhang Feng finally found a suspicious cave, and Zhang Feng knew at a glance that there must be goods underneath, because there were still fresh traces at the entrance of the cave.
So Zhang Feng raised the hoe and dug toward, digging about thirty or forty centimeters, and finally found that a yellow eel with the thickness of a thumb appeared in front of Zhang Feng's eyes, he grabbed the yellow eel with a quick hand, put the yellow eel into the small bucket and closed it, with the first harvest, Zhang Feng finally showed a smile on his face.
"Big brother, did you dig it?" the little sister was fishing for yellow eels not far away, and asked curiously when she saw the movement here.
"Well, I dug up a yellow eel!" Zhang Feng smiled and looked for the suspicious cave again.
"Oh, let me see ......" The little girl put down the fishing hook in her hand and ran over quickly.
"Brother Crazy, we want to watch it too, we want to watch it too, we want to watch ......" At this time, the little children ran over to see the excitement as if they were watching the Western scenery.
"What's so nice about these guys!" Zhang Feng handed them the kegs, and shook his head with a smile when he saw the little guys looking happy.
