With his sister's bicycle, Li Liang didn't have to set off with Chen Chunhua so early. After breakfast, he reviewed the mathematics he studied in the third year of junior high school at home, and some time ago, in order to tutor Chenchen and Zhang Junjie, he borrowed a set of textbooks for the third year of junior high school, and he has been reviewing in advance. There is a way to learn, such as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, no matter how busy Li Liang is, he will insist on studying on time every day.

Waiting for Li Liang to review his homework, his sister Li Meng had already bought vegetables and went back to the room to catch up on sleep. Li Liang tied up the little black dog Kuroko, closed the courtyard door, and rode to the restaurant.

"Liangzi, Liangzi!" Wang Chao's call sounded in the back of the car.

Li Liang heard Wang Chao's voice, stopped the car, and saw Wang Chao wearing a blue-green short-sleeved military uniform, sweating profusely.

"Liangzi, where did you go yesterday? Originally, I wanted to play with you, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no one in your house!" Wang Chao said.

"I went to the countryside yesterday to play, and now I'm about to go back there, do you want to go with me?" asked Li Liang.

"Okay, my parents asked me to finish my homework before I could go out to play, and I was suffocating to death when I stayed at home during this time!" Wang Chao responded happily, "Where are you going?"

"Chenchen's grandmother's house, today I will see if I can find someone to take us to catch fish and play!" Li Liang knew that Wang Chao liked to play and also liked to catch fish, and he was going to take him to Chen Ze and the brothers later to see if they could catch fish and play together.

"Great! I haven't caught a fish in the water for a long time, even if I don't catch a fish on such a hot day, it's comfortable to hide in the pond and swim!" Wang Chao said excitedly.

"Then let's go, get in the car, I'll take you!" Li Liang rode his bicycle and left.

Wang Chao jumped on the back seat of the bicycle, and the two of them rushed to the restaurant with a smile. When they arrived at the store, Zhang Meng, Chen Run, and Chen Li, brothers and sisters, were washing vegetables, and Chen Chunhua was steaming rice in the back kitchen. Chenchen and Junjie weren't in the store, and it seemed that they were still at their grandmother's house. Li Liang said hello to Wang Chao and Zhang Meng, and rode away.

Entering the courtyard of the Chen family, Chen Chen was peeling sweet potatoes with her grandmother, and did not see Chen Ze, Chen Tao and Zhang Junjie.

"Grandma, Chenchen, what are you doing here, can't you just steam the sweet potatoes in the pot, why do you have to peel them!" Li Liang set up his bicycle under the persimmon tree and asked.

"Grandma and I are going to make dried sweet potatoes!" replied Chenchen.

Li Liang remembered that the dried sweet potatoes in Hek County were very famous. There are two ways to dry and wet the dried sweet potatoes in Hek County: the first dry method is to wash and peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into slices of equal thickness, put them in the sun to dry, and put the selected fine sand in the big iron pot after drying, and put the dried sweet potatoes in the dry sweet potatoes after the sand is fried, so that the dried sweet potatoes fried are particularly crispy and delicious, and the taste is no less than the French fries of later generations; , but like sugar, some people call it 'kraft candy', which is a rare and delicious snack for rural children.

"Chenchen, are you going to make dried sweet potatoes or sweet potato sugar, do you want us to help peel them?" asked Wang Chao.

"We're going to make sweet potato candy, you and Ryoko can play, and my grandmother and I can do this." Chenchen replied.

Chenchen's grandmother, Gu Yuemei, also looked at Li Liang and Wang Chao kindly and said: "Liangzi, you take your classmates to play, Junjie is still sleeping in bed, Ze Ze and Taotao seem to have gone to catch fish today, you go to the entrance of the village and shout at them!"

"Okay then, grandma, Chenchen, we're out!"

Li Liang led Wang Chao to the entrance of the village, and sure enough, he saw a few boys bending down to fish in the ditch in the field in the distance. Li Liang shouted: "Chen Ze, Chen Tao~~~"

"Brother Liangzi, come here! There are so many fish here!" Sure enough, Chen Ze and Chen Tao's brothers were there, and Chen Tao heard Li Liang's shout, stood up and responded.

Along the ridge, Li Liang and Wang Chao soon came to the ditch where the Chen Ze brothers were, in addition to the two Chen Ze brothers, there were three other boys, who were about 12 or 3 years old. Li Liang introduced his classmate Wang Chao to the Chen Ze brothers, Wang Chao greeted them, couldn't wait to take off his sandals, and also went into the water to fish in the ditch.

The bucket on the bank of the ditch was already filled with small half buckets of crucian carp, loaches, yellow eels and other fish. Li Liang also likes to catch fish, but at this time, there are already six teenagers in the short ditch, Li Liang did not go into the water to join in the fun, he watched the teenagers touch the fish on the shore.

"Hey, I seem to have touched a long thing just now, I don't know if it's a yellow eel!" Wang Chao said as he touched it, and his blue-green shorts leg was already covered with mud.

"Then you have to be careful, maybe it's a water snake!" Li Liang quipped.

There are not only fish in the rural paddy field ditches, but water snakes are also very common, but water snakes are non-venomous, so rural children are not afraid.

Li Liangzheng was joking with Wang Chao, and suddenly Wang Chao jumped up, and really grabbed a long water snake in his hand, at this time, the snake's head was spitting out letters, as if it was about to bite, so frightened that Wang Chao threw it to the ground and threw the water snake out.

"Haha!" The teenagers laughed out loud when they looked at Wang Chao's frightened appearance.

"Coward!" Tao Tao stood up and grabbed the snake that Wang Chao threw out, the snake turned flexibly in his hand but did not bite, "This kind of snake has the best guts, and it generally does not bite!"

was despised by a boy younger than himself, Wang Chao felt a little depressed.

He explained: "Actually, I have caught this kind of water snake before, but today it was too sudden, it scared me, I am not afraid of it!"

Chen Tao didn't have any bad intentions, he played with snakes for a while, and then took the initiative to teach Wang Chao the skills of catching this kind of snake. By the time Wang Chao was already able to skillfully play with the snake in applause, the snake was too lazy to move, and I wouldn't move as you played.

In the laughter, everyone quickly caught a whole bucket of small fish and shrimp, and today's harvest was okay, but they didn't catch a bigger fish. Chen Ze carried this fish and led his partners to deliver fish to the restaurant.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Zhang Meng weighed his weight, counted a few yuan from the counter and handed it to Chen Ze, and said: "Ze Ze, Tao Tao, these days are all this kind of small fish and shrimp, yesterday there were guests in the store who wanted to eat black fish, I don't know if you can find a way to catch a few tomorrow!"

"Brother Meng, the black fish are only found in the larger fish ponds, and we have been catching fish in the small ditch these days! In this way, I have brought a lot of people today, and I will go to a wild pond in the next village to have a look, if there is not much water in it, we will drain the water today, and make sure there are big black fish!" Chen Ze replied.

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!"
