Chapter 113: Shimono (2)
Brother Tuesday stood outside the gate and shouted, "Sister, hurry up!"
"Hey, here, I don't have to take a basket, or what will the wild duck eggs be used for?"
Zhou Shujie found a soil basket in the warehouse. He walked towards the gate.
Brother Tuesday said helplessly: "Sister-in-law has taken one box, you take another one, we may not be able to find it!"
Zhou Shujie said confidently: "I definitely can, I pick up a lot every year." After speaking, she urged her second brother to say, "Let's go! Let others pick it up in a while!"
Brother Tuesday rolled his eyes at the sky while following his sister, and he echoed in his heart, "I don't know who is rubbing, and now I dislike me again." Hmph!"
Of course!
He only dared to say it in his heart!
Zhou Shujie and her second brother walked through the streets.
When they arrived at the front street, at the intersection to Xiaohe, they saw Brother Zhou, who was waiting for them, and Sister-in-law Zhou, who was already pregnant.
Sure enough, as Brother Tuesday said, Sister-in-law Zhou had already taken a frame.
But she took a small box, not as big as Zhou Shujie.
Brother Zhou carried a bundle of rope, which was the main tool they would use today.
The place they are going to today is Xiaohenan!
In Xiaohebei, it is the best land in the village, which is the first-class land mentioned in the village, and every family has a land here.
In Xiaohenan, it is a very wide meadow.
This is where the villagers herd their cattle, sheep and horses!
It is also a place to prepare hay for cattle and horses for the winter!
It's still a place for villagers to repair the roof of their houses and cut grass!
Anyway, as long as the grass is used by the farmer, it is basically cut on this straw mat.
Every spring, it is also a breeding ground for wild ducks.
Because it is close to a small river and the ducks are inseparable from the water, there will be a lot of wild ducks here to lay eggs and hatch ducklings.
They will live here all year round and will not find a place for the cat to winter until winter.
Walk the duck eggs!
That's what the kids in the village love to do.
But the average person does not have a tool, that is, a large rope.
They will only flutter in the grass to look for it, and when they find it, they will cheer, and if they can't find it, they will not be upset and just play.
Wild ducks that have been disturbed by people will not be far away.
Two days later, I came back here and continued to lay eggs from the new nest.
So, every few days, someone will come here to look for it, and they will more or less get something.
Without further ado, let's get to the point
Brother Zhou, Brother Tuesday led his daughter-in-law and sister-in-law.
Holding a large rope and carrying a frame, he walked across the river.
When I arrived in Henan, I found a piece of grassland that looked relatively flat.
The two brothers opened the rope, and one pulled the end to straighten the rope.
Zhou Shujie was holding a frame and standing on the side waiting.
Sister-in-law Zhou, who had never done this before, was curious and excited.
But she could only watch from the side, the tall grass couldn't see the bottom, she really didn't dare to go in, for fear that if she got stuck, she would hurt the child in her stomach.
Zhou Shujie, who is very experienced, led Zhou's sister-in-law to find a few handfuls of grass from the grass.
Spread in the frame, it is easy to use it to hold wild duck eggs for a while, and it can also play a role in shock absorption, saving you from breaking the wild duck eggs when you walk around.
I saw that Brother Zhou pulled a 50-meter-long rope and pulled the rope hard to hunt through the grass.
After walking four or five meters, I heard a quack, and a wild duck flew out of the nest and flew into the distance.
Brother Zhou laughed on Tuesday, and stopped there waiting for his sister to pick up wild duck eggs.
"Wow, sister-in-law has found it! You're waiting here for me to pick up duck eggs. ”
After speaking, Zhou Shujie carried the basket and ran to the place where the wild duck had just flown up in the grass.
Zhou Shujie carried the basket, slowed down when he arrived at the place, and carefully looked at his feet, even if he didn't pay attention to any of the feet, he would crush the eggs.
She carefully searched back and forth in the tall grass, and found a wild duck nest under a very secret grassroots, and there were twenty green duck eggs in it!
What is the difference between this wild duck egg and a domestic duck egg?
That can only be because it's smaller.
It is similar to eggs, and the color is the same as that of duck eggs, which are all cyan.
Zhou Shujie happily put the twenty wild duck eggs carefully in the frame covered with hay.
When I picked it up with my hand, I felt that there was still the residual warmth of the wild duck on the egg.
Zhou Shujie finished picking it up, carrying a frame containing twenty wild duck eggs, and asked the two brothers and sisters-in-law: "Guess how many there are in this litter?"
Brother Zhou, Brother Tuesday didn't rush to speak, just smiled.
Sister-in-law Zhou stood on the side and asked anxiously, "How many are you down, girl!"
"Hahaha! Twenty that! Hurry up, eldest brother, second brother, you two continue, I'm still waiting to pick it up." ”
Brother Zhou and Brother Tuesday looked at their sister's excited red face.
They couldn't help but laugh, to say that since their sister got married, they felt as if she had suddenly grown up overnight.
It's a little bit unaccustomed to them.
Now looking at the girl's excited appearance, it seems to overlap with the previous appearance, which makes them feel extraordinarily real.
Brother Zhou, as soon as Brother Tuesday heard that his sister asked them to continue, the two of them pulled the rope and continued to walk forward.
To be honest, it is very difficult to walk in this tall grass, there are a lot of mounds, and sometimes you can even trip.
As long as people do what they are interested in, they will find it very interesting.
Even if you stumble, you don't feel ashamed to be laughed at by your sister.
The further you go in, the more you gain, probably because you are far away from the side of the road.
Wild ducks love to nest there, and there are five or six meters away, and even two or three nests will be found, each nest has at least ten more, and there will be more than 20 more!
After a while, the small basket in Zhou Shujie's hand was full, although it was a layer of wild duck eggs and a layer of grass, she felt that there must be at least more than a hundred in this basket.
Let the two older brothers continue to move on.
She turned around with the frame on her shoulder, and walked steadily to her sister-in-law who was standing on the side with each step.
This one foot deep and one foot shallow, the walk is particularly difficult.
Zhou Shujie was really afraid that he would step on one of his crooked feet and break this basket of wild duck eggs.
watched her stumble for a while, and the sister-in-law Zhou who was watching was nervous with her.
When Zhou Shujie was about to reach the side with the basket, Zhou's sister-in-law, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but take two steps inside.
As soon as his hand touched the basket, he said, "Show me, how much has you lost?"
Zhou Shujie walked to the side and put the frame on the ground for her sister-in-law to look at it.
She smiled and said, "About one hundred and twenty, sister-in-law, you take your time here, I'll pick it up again." ”
I saw the rope of the eldest brother and the second brother, and two wild ducks took off.
Zhou Shujie didn't care about talking to Zhou's sister-in-law.
Hurriedly carrying the grass and the big frame of her house, she ran quickly to the place where the wild duck took off.
Some people may wonder, since you can see the wild duck take off!
Why do you pick up eggs instead of wild ducks?
Someone who has this doubt should be a little fool, hahaha.
Wild ducks are not the same as pheasants.
The pheasant cannot fly for long distances, and when it is chased by people, it will stick its head in the grass or in the snow, so that it will be caught.
The mallard duck is a migratory bird that can fly back and forth with geese for a long time!
Zhou Shujie and their sex have been forgotten about time, until they have almost walked the grass on both sides, and the basket is also full.
Even Zhou Shujie used his clothes to buy twenty wild duck eggs before returning home with a full load.
As soon as I entered the village, it attracted a lot of onlookers.
It is said that many families go to the meadow in the afternoon to collect duck eggs.
Although the harvest is not as much as Zhou Shujie's, there are twenty or thirty in each family, and there is no one who comes back empty-handed.
Zhou Shujie and Sister-in-law Zhou walked in front, and Brother Zhou and Brother Zhou walked behind, each of them carrying a frame into their yard.
Zhou Shujie entered the courtyard, said hello to his grandfather first, and showed off today's harvest.
Uncle Zhou is cooking in the house.
When he heard the sound, he came out and looked around the two frames.
He also said happily: "This harvest is quite a lot, let's drown it, people say that the pickled salted duck eggs are delicious! Let's flood it now, and when it comes to the old autumn hand food, it is just time to go up the mountain to bring rice to eat." ”
After speaking, he said to Zhou Shujie: "Shu Jie, let's eat here at noon! Let your second brother buy salt tomorrow, and your share will also be flooded, so that you can eat for a longer time, and I will get you the eggs that the child eats." ”
"No, auntie, my mother-in-law and children are still at home, and I don't know if my mother-in-law has time to cook, so I won't eat here. It's okay to drown some salted duck eggs, then I'll wait for my second brother to bring me salt tomorrow. ”
Zhou Shujie refused the words of the eldest aunt to keep the meal, and wanted to go home after packing up, after all, it was noon this day, and there was a mother-in-law and children at home!
I heard that Zhou Shujie didn't stay to eat.
Aunt Zhou asked Brother Tuesday to carry the basket full of wild duck eggs and asked him to send Zhou Shujie home.
Zhou Shujie looked at this big basket full of everything, and said that she didn't want anything.
After all, there are few people in her family, and there are many uncles.
In the autumn, the second brother will marry the second sister-in-law back, and the population will be even larger.
After many excuses, the eldest aunt finally agreed to let her take the wild duck eggs in the small basket.
Although it is a small basket, it is not missing.
Uncle Zhou saw that it was not too full, and stacked twenty or thirty of them upward.
It wasn't until he really couldn't fit it that he let go of Brother Tuesday to send Zhou Shujie home.
Zhou Shujie looked at the basket full of wild duck eggs, which might even fall when he moved, and he was also full of helplessness and emotion.
Since she was a child, the eldest aunt was afraid that others would say that she was eccentric, and she only knew that it was not good for her to hurt her own children.
So no matter if there is good food and fun at home, you have to come with her, and the two brothers have to stand aside.
Up to now, Uncle Zhou's problem has not been changed.
Zhou Shujie didn't know that Brother Tuesday, who was walking in front of her, was about to cry!!
This basket is too full, and you have to order it as soon as you leave!!
He has to be 120,000 careful every step he takes, for fear of falling to the ground and ruining it!
