Zhao Weidong also began to correct his attitude towards school, through the re-learning of knowledge, further deepen his understanding, and re-experience middle school life, originally there has always been only one direction in life, and it is absolutely impossible to re-walk the road of life that has been taken, Zhao Weidong did not think that he could still walk the road of life again, since God gave this opportunity, he must cherish it more, and he can't cherish it because of the monotony and backwardness of this era, so he hopes that it will pass quickly and kill the time, then he will really be in Baoshan and return empty-handed, Make every day exciting.

Today is Saturday, unlike the afterlife when there are two days off on weekends, in this time and space, Saturday still has to have a half-day class, and there is no class in the afternoon, when school is out in the morning, Ye Qianru is waiting for him to go home with Zhao Weidong's classroom, Zhao Weidong saw Ye Qianru and said:

"Qianru, let's go home."

"Okay, let's go home."

"There are no classes in the afternoon, do you have any arrangements?"

"What can I do, and there's nothing to play here, do you have any arrangements?"

"Qianru, if you don't make arrangements, have you ever caught a loach?"

"Brother, the loach is so slippery, so it can run, how can you catch it?"

"Brother Ke is a master of catching loaches, I'll take you there in the afternoon."

"Okay, great, let's go catch loaches in the afternoon."

"Qianru, at three o'clock in the afternoon, you come to me, and we'll go again."

"Okay, I'll come to you at three o'clock."

Back home, Zhao Weidong put down his schoolbag, washed his hands and prepared to eat, and his mother, who was cooking, shouted:

"Weidong, you go chop some firewood first, and then come to eat."

"Okay, no problem."

After Zhao Weidong finished speaking, he went to the empty flat in the backyard of the kitchen, next to it to build a shed, put the chopped firewood in it to cool and dry, and pushed the unqualified plough wood in the corner of the empty lawn, but the parents were very busy, and the chopping firewood was about to burn out, so the mother wanted to chop some firewood herself.

Zhao Weidong picked up the firewood knife, axe, with his hand to try the blade, a look is not sharp, in order to ensure efficiency, can only sharpen the knife first, he loaded half a basin of water to the backyard to sharpen the knife, it took three or five minutes to sharpen the firewood knife, axe, so began to chop firewood, the ploughwood is very long, so the first process is to cut the plowwood, and then split the big root finely, can be easily put in the pot stove to burn the fire.

He picked up a plough wood, a knife to cut down, the blade ate very deep, it can be seen that the knife is very sharp, cut more than a dozen knives, this very thick plow wood was cut off, it can be seen that the sharpening knife is not wrong to chop wood, the remaining one is in the thin part of the three knives will be broken, the following slowly began to become proficient, combined with the Tai Chi boxing force Qi skills, the force through the blade, the cutting is faster, but also more labor-saving, after a while there is a pile of stones, Zhao Weidong saw that the cut was almost done, began to chop wood with an axe, and began to chop firewood with a wood underneath, In less than half an hour, a large pile of firewood was chopped, and all the firewood he had chopped was neatly stacked under the canopy.

After exercising for more than half an hour, Zhao Weidong also sweated all over, returned to the kitchen, took a basin of water, washed his face, and wiped the sweat on his body, before he sat down and began to have lunch with his family.

After lunch, everyone went to take a nap, Zhao Weidong fell asleep as soon as he lay down for a few minutes, sleeping very soundly, until someone knocked on the door and woke up, only to hear Ye Qianru screaming outside the door, he hurriedly answered:

"Here it is, Qianru."

Zhao Weidong promised Ye Qianru, and hurriedly got up, opened the door, and Ye Qianru walked in and said:

"Brother, you said you were going to catch loaches in the afternoon, why are you still sleeping, aren't you going?"

"If you say something good, how can you not go. Let's go, we'll go now. ”

"Brother, are you going to catch loaches? I'm going too. ”

Zhao Weiguo also woke up, and when he heard the two of them discussing to catch loaches, he also became excited and shouted loudly.

"Alright, alright, you all go."

The three of them came to the kitchen, went to choose the tools that could dig the loaches, and when they arrived in the kitchen, they prepared a plastic bucket for the loaches, Zhao Weidong handed the plastic bucket to Ye Qianru and asked her to take it, and he took two four-tooth nail rakes and gave Wei Guo a handful, and the three of them set off, it is still March, there are a lot of fields that have been ploughed, and the water has been put in, it is not good to dig the loaches, Zhao Weidong took two people to find some fields that have not been ploughed and have not been put into the water.

Walking into the field, Zhao Weidong squatted down first and looked at the field carefully, and Ye Qianru asked:

"Brother, what are you looking at?"

"What are we here for?"

"Of course we're here to catch loaches." Zhao Weiguo hurriedly replied.

"You know, I'm just catching loaches."

"You're just looking at it and catching a loach?" Zhao Weiguo continued curiously.

"Come, I'll teach you how to catch loaches, whether there are loaches in this field or not, it depends on observation......"

"Brother, why can't I see the loaches?"

This time, Ye Qianru didn't wait for Zhao Weidong to finish speaking, she was also in a hurry to say.

"Qianru, be patient and listen to me tell you carefully. I'm not talking about looking at loaches, you can't see loaches in the field. ”

"It's not looking at loaches, it's looking at what?" Zhao Weiguo continued.

"I'm looking at the hole where there are loaches, and you think, what do the loaches rely on to go into the ground? It relies on a hole to enter the ground, and since it is a hole to go down, then tell me, what is on the ground? ”

"There are holes in the ground, there are loach holes." Zhao Weiguo hurriedly replied.

"Yes, what I'm looking for is a loach hole, there are small loach holes, there are small loaches in small loach holes, there are big loaches in big loach holes, there are more loaches in loach holes, and there are fewer loaches in loach holes, this is the key to catching loaches, you all go to find loach holes."

"Oh, we see." Both of them cheered and stopped surrounding themselves, and went to connect theory with practice.

Zhao Weidong could concentrate on looking around, and soon found that there were several loach holes next to the rice stubble, he took a nail-toothed rake and gently dug it down and pulled it, and there were a few loaches drilling around below, but now the ground is dry, and it can't drill there, Zhao Weidong shouted:

"Qianru, bring the bucket."

"Brother, you've caught a loach." Ye Qianru asked.

"Well, catch a few loaches."

As he spoke, he took out a few small loaches from the ground, put them in the bucket, and then continued to dig, basically there were loaches under every rice stubble, some had two or three heads, some had seven or eight heads, and in a blink of an eye they had dug a lot, and the loaches had covered the bottom of the bucket.

Ye Qianru saw that every time the nail-toothed rake was dug up, there were loaches, and as soon as they were dug out, some of them jumped hard, and some of them drilled hard and then drilled into the mud, but after the field was dry, it could no longer drill out of the hole except for its original hole.

Zhao Weidong was about to catch the loach, but Ye Qianru immediately stopped him and said:

"Brother, I'll catch it." As she spoke, she squatted down to catch the loach, grabbed a big loach in her hand, and just grabbed the slippery and greasy loach in her heart, and the loach twisted hard, she was so frightened that she immediately threw the loach away, and asked with palpitations:

"Brother, will loaches bite?"

"Little girl, how can a loach bite, don't worry, a loach won't bite."

"Oh, it won't bite, then I'll be relieved, it's just that the loach is slippery and greasy, and I feel a little hairy."

"If you're afraid, let me come."

"No, I'll do it."

After saying that, she plucked up the courage to catch the loach again, and after knowing that it would not bite, she was much more relieved, and she was a little cautious at first, and the more she grabbed it, the more comfortable it became, and finally her eyebrows danced.

"Sister Qianru, come here, I've dug up loaches too." Zhao Weiguo also shouted excitedly.

Ye Qianru hurriedly ran over with the bucket and asked Zhao Weiguo to put the dug loaches into the bucket, and when she saw that there were already quite a lot of them in the bucket, she said:

"Wow, brother has already dug so much, then I have to work hard." After that, I went digging for loaches again.

Zhao Weiguo analyzed, the lowest place in a field, generally is the place where loaches are most concentrated, he carefully observed, and found that there is a piece of land in front of the left is a little different from other places, he walked up to take a look, it turns out that this place is a little softer than other places, it can be seen that this place is the last place where the water dries up, he started digging from here, really there are a lot of loaches, some loaches are a nest, Zhao Weiguo remembers, when he was a child, he started from catching loaches, and the loaches are getting fewer and fewer year by year, mainly with the development of society, The country promotes the use of pesticides and fertilizers to improve food production, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers is increasing.

Regarding the poisonous fish, Zhao Weiguo also personally experienced the poisonous fish action of the entire river when he was young, he personally followed a few people in the commune to take a few bottles of "fish vine essence" to poison the river, it was really full of fish, and he also took a bucket to catch the fish that were poisoned to death, and finally fished out a bucket of all kinds of fish, those few people heard that they had fished hundreds of catties of fish, and there were many people in the commune who also went to pick up fish, and they all picked up a lot of fish, and I heard that they had been poisoned to a far distance.

Zhao Weidong dug up the rice stubble, Ye Qianru immediately carried the bucket to catch the loaches bouncing in the field one by one, sometimes one hand can not catch two hands together, because the sun is relatively big when he arrives in the field, he is already sweating, and now he is sweating, and he wipes the sweat with his hands from time to time, so that his face and hair are stained with a lot of mud, not to mention his clothes.

The two brothers were responsible for digging the loaches, and Ye Qianru was responsible for loading the loaches. Finally, this piece of feng shui treasure land was dug up, it is estimated that there are four or five catties of loaches, as well as more than ten or twenty yellow squids, the harvest is good, everyone cleaned up and prepared to go home, and took the nail tooth rake to the ditch for cleaning.

Clean the nail rake, when washing his hands, his hands seem to touch something, pick it up and see, it is a big river mussel, Zhao Weidong immediately thought that the thing he felt the most when he was a child was the river mussel, and it was the easiest to get, mainly growing in a ditch with a lot of silt, few people to pick it up, and he could pick up a lot every time.

Zhao Weidong thought to himself, it seems that he can also pick up some back today, the two of them listened to Zhao Weidong's introduction and were also very interested, immediately pulled up their pants and walked into the ditch, stretched out their hands to touch the mud, really there are a lot of river mussels in the silt, large and small, there are many big ones, small ones, at first the two of them, large and small, picked up, later, after Zhao Weidong reminded them, they only picked up the big ones, did not pick up the small ones, and soon picked up a lot of them, Zhao Weidong looked at the almost, so let everyone not pick them up again, In this way, the two of them reluctantly ended, and finally when they washed their hands, they found that they had paid a lot of money, and each of their hands and feet were cut horizontally, and they would swell into red poles, which were caused by a kind of grass that grew in the ditch, and the grass looked thin and weak, but it was very good at cutting people's hands, but not too deep, so people did not pay much attention to it.
