Chapter 10: Baby Comes Home
It's finally here, and it's really come out after a long time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Liu He, who had obtained the gloomy wood, immediately looked around, fortunately there was no one nearby, and the group of hairy children bathing in the river were at least a hundred meters away from him, so those people could not know the situation here.
However, Liu He thought about it for a while, observed the specific situation around the river, and then waved his hoe to dig a big pit in the beach, put the gloomy wood in it, and then backfilled, and then placed a clump of weeds on the backfilled sediment, and finally confirmed the exact location of the buried gloomy wood.
After all, there are many people talking during the day, and Liu He thought about hiding the gloomy wood in the beach first, waiting for it to be retrieved in the dead of night.
When Liu He went home, he was still carrying most of the clams and crabs in half a bucket, and his father Liu Kaiming saw his harvest and said with a smile: "Well, I can improve my food again tonight, He Wazi has worked hard in the afternoon." ”
Just as Liu He was waiting for Liu He to answer, Liu Zheng rushed out of the room, circled around the bucket, and then said disdainfully: "Brother, you are too inferior, this is your harvest in one afternoon, if it were me, it would be at least three times more than you." ”
Liu He smiled slightly, Liu Zheng said that he really believed it, but the other party would not know that he dug up the old valuable gloomy wood this afternoon, that thing is not comparable to a few buckets of clams and crabs, and Liu He, who got the gloomy wood, is too lazy to fight with Liu Zheng now.
In the evening, it is rare for the father Liu Kaiming to cook in person, the clams are filled with a basin of clear water, and a little salt and a few drops of sesame oil are put in it, which is said to make the clams vomit the sediment in the stomach, after several repeated water changes and finally drained, it didn't take long for the kitchen to bring out a clam hot and sour soup and clams fried with dried chili peppers, the taste is particularly appetizing.
The crab is to remove the internal organs without wrapping egg white flour directly over the frying, fried golden brown only sprinkled with a little salt on the crab, and then eat a fried crab that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, I remember that when I was a child, Liu He and Liu Zheng were the same as other hairy children in the village, every time they ate this kind of cooked crab, they really swallowed a piece of crispy crab claws.
"Eat, eat, eat, these clams and crabs today are all the credit of He Wazi, everyone is happy!" The father who took off his apron said with a smile, and then asked his mother to pour him a small glass of home-brewed osmanthus wine.
Liu Zheng and Liu He had already been impatient to lower their five paws, and Liang Lanxiang, who came out with the chopsticks, knocked them on their heads with chopsticks, and shouted softly: "It's not that you can't eat in a hurry?" ”
Father Liu Kaiming took a sip of wine and smiled: "Lanxiang, you also hurry up and sit down to eat, I see that no more fried plate will fill their stomachs." ”
"Alas, in the future, after your cousin Kaiqing contracts the river, I'm afraid these clams and crabs won't be able to eat." I caught a crab, chewed it a few times, spit out the hard shell, and the mother sighed for no reason.
The father put down the wine glass and sighed: "Our village is poor, seeing that the village party secretary has thought of such a way, the annual contract fee for such a few miles of river is 1,000 yuan, and many things in the village can be solved with this money. ”
"Dad, Mom, in the future, if you want to eat small fish, shrimp and crabs and clams at home, I will definitely catch more than my brother." Liu Zheng, this kid is still holding a crab leg in his hand, and the corners of his mouth are oily and he hasn't forgotten to curry favor with adults, seeing him like that, Liu He really wants to seal his mouth.
“……”
The moonlight has risen on the willow tops, and there are lovers who have not met after dusk.
Waiting for Liu He's family to finish this sumptuous dinner with laughter, many villagers gathered under the two yellow cypress trees in the village, shaking the pu fan to enjoy the cool while also talking about some happy things in the south and north of the world, but in the end, they all converged on Liu Kaiqing's contracting of the river.
"Do you know, Liu Kaiqing officially signed a contract with the village party secretary today, and the annual contract payment for this section of the river in front of the village is 1,002, and I can see him hand over a green ticket to the village party secretary."
"You still need to say this, my man will help Brother Kaiqing clean up the river tomorrow, he has gathered more than a dozen people in the village, and he has to pay at least a thousand yuan for a few days of work, plus the inlay of forts, the purchase of cement and barbed wire, I think it will cost hundreds of dollars, this time he has made up his mind."
"It's not just that, even if the river is cleared out and the water barrier is built, fish farming is not allowed to buy fish fry or fish grass in the future, it not only requires a lot of money, but also a lot of experience."
"Alas, although Brother Kaiqing has the courage, I just don't know if he made the right bet this time, don't fall short like before."
"Then this time it must not be like this again, the money he contracted to raise fish in the river was scraped together by relatives, if it doesn't succeed this time, what will I do for the rest of his life?"
"Don't talk about cool words, others haven't raised fish yet, you are saying unlucky things, I think Brother Kaiqing will definitely be able to make a fortune by raising fish, maybe he will be the richest in the village in the future!"
“……”
No matter what the people in the village want to do, there are other people gossiping anyway, some are optimistic and some are not optimistic, in short, it is not their own business, standing and talking does not have a backache, fortunately, Uncle Kaiqingtang has to prepare a lot of things tonight, and the family has not come to the yellow cypress tree to enjoy the shade at all, or they don't know how embarrassing it is to touch each other.
The night grew colder, and the people dispersed.
I don't know when the wisps of fog gradually shrouded Luyan Village, and the villagers who followed home turned off the lights and televisions one after another, and even the sound of barking dogs disappeared completely, and the village returned to peace and tranquility.
However, a black figure sprang out of a solitary house, flickering in the mist and disappearing.
This person is none other than our protagonist Liu He.
In this silence, Liu He finally waited for the whole family to fall asleep, and at this moment, almost no one in the whole village would notice his existence, and now was the perfect time for him to go to the river to retrieve the gloomy wood.
In the mist, Liu He groped his way to the edge of the river where the gloomy wood was buried, but he was a little dumbfounded, he seemed to have overlooked an important thing, the marks made on the beach during the day and the corresponding surrounding references were useless in this hazy night.
Fortunately, the river was bright in the moonlight and could give him a little guidance, and after groping for the wrong two places, he finally excitedly touched the nest of weeds left on the beach.
Peel away the fluffy river sand, and yes, the gloomy wood lies quietly in the sand pit.
Trembling and hugging out the gloomy wood, Liu He wanted to let out a long howl to vent his inner excitement, but in such an environment, he endured it.
Go home, bring the baby home first.
