Chapter 63: Fish and Agate
Xia Zhi heard May and July calling, but when she turned around, she didn't see the two sisters, and she didn't take it seriously, and continued to go up the river to find the little black fish and them. The river beach in front of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info has become less and less barren grass, and has become a large sandy beach. A dark shadow sprang out from the side and snorted straight towards the summer solstice. Xia Zhi raised his hand and pressed Daqing's head, so that Daqing didn't pounce on him.
Daqing's front paws landed on the ground, snorting twice towards Xia Zhi, then lowered his head and sniffed Xia Zhi's shoes, and then circled around Xia Zhi, rubbing Xia Zhi's calves.
"Sixteen!" The little black fish with Tian Laibao and Xiao Shu'er also jumped out from the side and smiled at Xia Zhi.
"Uncle, you're walking so fast. Xia Solstice said.
"We're here. The little black fish looked behind Xia Zhi as he spoke, and he didn't see May and July, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked Xia Zhi, "They didn't follow." ”
"Nope. Xia Zhi replied dryly, "My father let them mow the grass." This is half-true, half of it is for Tian Laibao. She wasn't sure if Tian Laibao saw anything. But if he goes back to learn from Grandma Tian San and others, the excuses she gave May and July for mowing the grass will be very good at fooling people and saving the face of the Xia family.
Confirming that May and July did not follow, the three little boys were happy. The little black fish said that he wanted to catch the fish: "Noble Treasure, the fish made by Sixteen is delicious." Let's catch the fish, so let Sixteen make it and let's eat it. ”
Tian Laibao immediately responded loudly, but his feet moved in the opposite direction of the little black fish, that is, Xia Zhi's side. The little black fish just took care of playing, and didn't seem to notice the little friend's "yang and yin" behavior. Xiao Shu'er had already cheered, and then the little black fish began to undress.
The little black fish took off only the small belly pocket in the blink of an eye, and then he noticed that the little tree was stripped naked and seemed reluctant to take off his pants. Tian Laibao rolled up his trouser legs and didn't take off anything except his shoes.
Xiao Shu'er is nine years old, Tian Laibao is eleven, and there is a sixteen next to him.
The little black fish narrowed her eyes: "What's the matter with you two!"
Xia Zhi was actually reluctant to let the little black fish go into deep water, for fear that he would be in danger, so he smiled and said: "Uncle, why don't we use a fish basket to block the fish today." ”
The little black fish raised her hand to support her chin and thought about it, then nodded: "That's okay." "What Xia Solstice says, he is generally willing to listen.
Tian Laibao can't do this kind of thing at all, Xiao Shu'er is clumsy, and Xiao Heiyu'er is good, but he is young and not strong enough. On the summer solstice, they asked them to look for willow branches, and she made fish baskets by herself.
This is something she learned from an older child when she was in a welfare home. She is not only skillful now, but also has the strength of her hands, and she has made one up in a while.
The basket is shaped like a fat fish, with its large mouth gradually tucked into the tail and tied up, and the remaining wicker is spread out like a tail fin.
The little black fish liked it very much, and thought it was better than they usually made up by themselves, so they took the fish basket and took the little tree to build a dam to stop the water.
There is also wicker, and Xia Zhi plans to make another one.
"Summer Solstice, you have such a skillful hand. Tian Laibao squatted beside Xia Zhi, looking at Xia Zhi with big eyes and refusing to move away.
"There are a lot of clever girls in our village, and it's nothing. Xia Zhi took the topic away with one sentence, "Noble, my two cousins quarreled with me yesterday, and they just made trouble for me today, don't take it to heart." ”
"It's okay, I'll go home and say nothing. "Tian Laibao is authentic.
This sentence made Xia Zhi look at him more. Does this little kid understand, or doesn't understand? However, Noble has the advantage of talking and counting. Since he said so, Xia Zhi can finally let go of one thing in his heart. Grandma Tian San can come to the door if she ignores it, if she catches the handle, Old Man Xia is such a face-loving person, and he won't have to go out in the future.
Xia Zhi quickly made up the second fish basket, she also took off her shoes for Daqing to watch, went into the water with Tian Laibao, moved stones and mud to build a dam to stop the water, and then put the two fish baskets in the gap of the embankment.
This is the transition from deep water to shallow water, which is the best place to catch fish.
Once the basket is set, just wait for the fish to swim in. However, the little black fish was an impatient, so he took Tian Laibao and the little tree and went upstream, took the branches in the water, and drove the fish to the embankment.
Seeing that they would no longer be in any danger, Xia Zhi relieved himself and began to search for them on the river beach.
Many of the mountains in the upper reaches of the river have agate mines, and the river washes them all year round, and you can pick up small pieces of agate of all colors on the river beach here, among which red and green are the majority. The little girls in the village may not know that it is agate, but many of them like to pick up those colorful stones on the river beach.
There are agate mines in many parts of this part of the country, so small pieces of agate jewelry are cheaper. Luo Juan gave two bracelets in May and July, which were actually agate, and the quality was very ordinary, with inconspicuous cracks on almost every bead.
On the summer solstice, pick agate.
"Sister, what are you choosing?"
Xia Zhi picked a few agate stones, and when he looked up, he saw the little black fish and them coming, and the three children were looking at the stones in Xia Zhi's hands.
"Sixteen, you don't know this. I'll have it, and I'll give it to you when I go back. The little black fish said.
Tian Laibao hurriedly squatted down, "Summer Solstice, I'll help you pick it." What do you want?"
The three children no longer went to catch fish, but only occasionally went to see if there were any fish in the fish basket, and then helped the summer solstice to pick agate stones. The child's eyes are sharp, his legs and feet are fast, he treats this as a thing, and soon helps Xia Zhi pick a bag of agate stones. The largest piece is bright red, the size of a goose egg, and was dug out of the river beach by the summer solstice.
The small fish that swam into the basket were all released, except for the food for Daqing, and in the end they kept only a carp and a grass carp, both of which were more than a foot long.
The summer solstice was not early, so Zhang Luo went back. Several children had a great time playing and came back with the summer solstice.
On the way back, I didn't see May and July. The backyard of the Xia family is also very quiet. When they walked to the courtyard, there seemed to be no movement in the east wing.
Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were relieved and satisfied when they saw that they came back, and saw that Little Black Fish and Tian Laibao were all clean.
Two fish, the little black fish means to stay on the summer solstice and Tian Noble to eat. Old Man Xia didn't wait for the little black fish to speak, so he took the big one and gave it to Tian Laibao, and then he personally sent Tian Laibao home.
Although the little black fish is young and straight, she knows when not to speak.
When Old Man Xia left, Little Black Fish asked Old Mrs. Xia, "What's wrong with my father?"
"It's okay, the Lao Tian family came to look for the treasure just now. Mrs. Xia said, the smile on her face was a little unnatural.
