Chapter 20
After the two of them cooked the meal and the dishes were ready, they went to take Wang Lingyun out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can't leave the granddaughter for a while, the reason for holding the granddaughter is good, the little daughter-in-law is still in confinement can not hold more heavy objects, otherwise the hand hurts.
Not long after, the eldest daughter-in-law had already come back first, and the eldest son and younger son didn't see it.
Lin explained: "The two of them went to pick up the children. ”
The old man estimates that the eldest of the children is only 13 years old, and it is the time of development, and the heavy weight on the back weighs the child very much, which is not good for the body.
Now the rest of the kitchen is for the eldest daughter-in-law Lin Ajiao to make some stews and fried fish, which are time-consuming, so you have to do them first. The old couple took Wang Lingyun to play in their yard.
After waiting for a long time, the two sons have already come back with three boys and a big girl, Wang Zhongguo and Wang Zhongjun each carry a big back cage (a local teacup-shaped bamboo weaving utensil carried on both shoulders, about 1.2 meters high), a large back cage, two 10-year-old children can stand in it very loosely.
In other villages, some children whose families are not in good condition are plowing and digging ditches in the fields with adults, just to earn more work and exchange for more food.
But in Wangjia Village, most of the children are asked to do light work, such as hoeing weeds, and several granddaughters of the old man's family help their grandfather and grandmother take care of the house at home. Feed the chickens, beat (cut) pigweed to feed the pigs, and plant vegetables and hoe grass in the garden with grandma.
The work is not heavy, the big children with the small children, not only do things, but also take the small ones to play and not make trouble.
A few children's favorite is to go to the pigweed, the grass next to the ditch is the most lush, with the back cage to choose a good place, the two small ones go to mow the grass first, and the two big ones go to the ditch where the water is not very deep.
Choose a ditch, pile both ends with mud so that the fish can't run, and then one kicks the water vigorously where there are aquatic weeds, and the other catches them in an open place where there are no aquatic weeds.
Look at the water where there are waves, there are definitely fish. If you're lucky, you can even touch a palm-sized crucian carp or grass carp and yellow eel, loach, turtle (this one really exists, my dad said she caught a lot when she was a child) and so on.
Don't say anything why only you can get it, so many people have already touched it, and in the seventies, there was no such medicine for poisoning fish, and there was no electric fish thing, so you can still keep some fish fry, and the fish are generally not caught.
And now the people who come out to hunt pigweed are all children under the age of 10 in the family, and almost all the children over the age of 10 follow the adults to go to the fields to earn work.
Some children are too timid to go into the ditch, and some children are not able to catch. Of course, more than that, there is no time to go.
There is a limit to going to work in the public field, it is not that you can go back if you want to go back, and you have to work a quarter of a day no matter the length of time when you go back to personal affairs, and you have to gather at half past six in the morning to go to the field, and you don't have a time to start work at night, and when it gets dark, you will get off work.
Of course, if you have a child and go back to feed, this is excusable, and you will deduct some less work.
Adults are very tired after doing a day's work, and they can't see the fish when it's dark, so in addition to the heavy rain in the farm, many adults will run to the ditch to touch the fish to improve the food. Other times, only some children have time.
This also fulfilled the four of Wang Weifeng, Wang Weiwen, Wang Weixuan, and Wang Yamei. The older two Wang Weifeng and Wang Weiwen went to the ditch to fish, and the other two smaller ones hurried to mow the grass, and after mowing, they ran to cheer for the two brothers, plus watch the excitement.
When I came back today, not only a few little ones laughed badly, but the two adults were also smiling on their faces, and before the old man could ask, the four children all surrounded their grandparents and told them the reason.
"Grandpa, grandpa, my brother is so good today, the two of them caught a lot of loaches and two fish today. Wang Yamei first said proudly, it was caught by her two brothers, and her brother was the most powerful. When Wang Weifeng and Wang Weiwen heard what their sister said, they were half excited and half praised and blushed embarrassedly.
Ah Feng first touched his head and said shyly: "It's just that I'm lucky, and the place I went to today is good, so I can catch more." There weren't so many of them before. ”
Ah Wen also followed his brother and said happily: "Today's fish and loaches are very stupid, and they have been swimming next to our feet. My brother and I will go there tomorrow to hunt pigweed and catch loaches. ”
When the old man heard what his grandson and granddaughter said, he also boasted: "Well, it's very good to be able to catch it, much better than your uncle, he doesn't dare to go to the ditch to catch loaches." ”
Ah Xuan heard his grandfather say that his father didn't dare to go to the ditch to catch loaches, and immediately asked excitedly: "Grandpa, my father didn't dare to go to the ditch to catch loaches?" ”
Ah Xuan was laughing at his father, but he didn't want to think about the time and place now. So the back of the head immediately slapped his father.
"Stinky boy, do you recognize all the words you learned yesterday? Can you write?" Wang Zhongjun was a little annoyed. This black history, it seems that it will be with you for a lifetime.
It's not because he was unlucky a few times when he went to the ditch a few times, so he would rather go to the big river over there to cast a net to catch fish than go to the ditch to catch loaches and crucian carp.
"Dad, I will memorize what you taught yesterday, and I will write it to you on the sand over there later, and then I will recite it to you. "Ah Xuan is not afraid of this.
What Ah Xuan is most interested in is why his father is afraid to go to the ditch to catch fish? Obviously, if an adult catches it anyway, he can catch more fish than a child.
"Grandpa, go on, why is Dad afraid to go to the ditch to catch fish? Ah Xuan asked without giving up.
The old man looked at his grandson's eager expression and his son's embarrassed expression, and his heart suddenly became happier, and he no longer hung his grandson's appetite. "Oh...... That's because...... When your father was a child, he went to the ditch to catch fish 3 times, and caught a snake three times, and the first two times were fine, just a water snake, not poisonous. ”
Looking at his grandson's surprised expression, he continued: "The last time I caught the root of a fan tree (a poisonous snake with some black spots all over the body, I don't know what the scientific name is, the local dialect), so your father was so frightened that he never went to the ditch to catch fish again, and would rather go to the river to try his luck than go to the ditch." ”
Ah Xuan heard what his grandfather said, and couldn't help but look at his father in surprise, he really felt pity for his father, and he actually ran into a snake every time he went to the ditch, what kind of luck is this.
Looking at his son's expression of pity, Wang Zhongjun really felt that this son should really teach him a lesson, so that he could know which one was the most pitiful.
"Okay, I'll see how many loaches and fish my grandson caught today, and I'll ask your mother to make braised loaches and pan eels for you to eat tonight." The old man smiled and played the round and diverted the topic. Looking at the fruits of their labor, they did not lose their grandson's mouth, and smiled and promised the desire of their grandson's heart.
"Oh, great, there are loaches and eels. "Now the children are screaming and jumping happily, and they don't care about watching the jokes of the adults.
Said the beard worm
I read a snake on the Internet the day before yesterday, one is a krait and the other is a silver krait. I looked at the krait snake in the video, which is kind of like the poisonous snake that we use in our local dialect to fan the roots of a tree. I don't know if it's the color of the video or what, but I looked at the krait snake that I introduced, and it was obviously red with black spots, so why was it called a krait? I don't think it's golden. Or am I mistaken???
