Tan Wenlin was no longer in the mood to listen to what the villagers were talking about at this time, he gave a few orders to the ten villagers, and then said loudly: "Start work." ”

Immediately, the ten villagers got out of the reeds and began to grope in the mud with their hands or paddle back and forth with their forks.

Tan Wenlin did not go down to the river, but just watched with wide eyes on the shore, paying attention to every move of the villagers in the reeds.

Tan Changqiang and Zhang Guifang were also standing on the shore at this time, they stared at the movements of the villagers, their hearts beat wildly, although Tan Wenlin promised that there must be good things in this reed, and the harvest after draining the water was definitely not small, but they were still very nervous.

This can't be blamed for their cowardice, it's really the two of them who are tormented and scared by fate!

"I don't know what this Wenlin is doing, can I learn to play with children? I said that Changqiang, you two don't know how to persuade him, so let him mess around. I don't know when the eldest aunt stood beside Tan Changqiang and his wife, and pointed at the two honestly and unceremoniously.

There was also a girl about twenty years old standing next to the aunt, the girl was in a white shirt and jeans, her hair was combed in a ponytail, she was unusually pretty, and her big eyes were patrolling the crowd, as if she was looking for someone.

"Hmph." Tan Changqiang listened to the eldest aunt's lecture on them, snorted coldly, and ignored her.

"Auntie, Wenlin is over there, I'll take a look." The girl next to the eldest aunt saw Tan Wenlin from a distance, so she greeted the eldest aunt and walked over.

"Ziyao, it's dirty over there, be careful with your clothes." The eldest aunt shouted.

The girl said yes.

At this time, Tan Wenlin was looking at the villagers who were looking down the river with all his attention, and he didn't notice that the pretty girl walked in, and after the girl came over, she shouted crisply: "Wenlin." ”

Tan Wenlin looked back and saw that a girl was standing next to him, and he said unexpectedly, "Ziyao, when did you come?" ”

It turned out that this Zi Yao's surname Chu was the niece of the eldest aunt, she was not from this village, and her family lived in the county seat of Hongjiang County, but in elementary and junior high school, because her parents were working outside, she stayed with her aunt, and she was a classmate with Tan Wenlin for nine years, and later returned to the county seat when she went to high school.

In Tan Wenlin's memory in his last life, he had no intersection with Chu Ziyao after he was admitted to university, but he heard that she seemed to have gone abroad later.

"I just arrived, and I heard my aunt say that you contracted the reeds, so I came over. Are you really not going to college anymore? I heard Jia Qingtong say that you did very well in the exam this time, it's a pity not to go. ”

Jia Qingtong is their mutual friend and Tan Wenlin's high school classmate.

As soon as Tan Wenlin heard that Chu Ziyao already knew his college entrance examination scores, he hurriedly whispered nervously: "You didn't tell your aunt, did you?" ”

"No, I just came, what's wrong?" Chu Ziyao saw that Tan Wenlin was nervous, so she asked curiously.

Tan Wenlin told the family situation again, and then told Chu Ziyao: "You can't tell anyone, otherwise my father will force me to go to college, and then the family will be over." ”

When Chu Ziyao heard this, her big eyes flashed, she only knew that Tan Wenlin was more sensible than other boys, but through today's incident, she got to know Tan Wenlin further.

"Hmm." Chu Ziyao agreed, was silent for a moment, and then looked at the reeds that were draining the water, and said to Tan Wenlin with a smile: "What do you have in this reed?" Stirring up the people. ”

Tan Wenlin smiled: "Keep it secret for the time being, but it must be a good thing." ”

"Yo, so mysterious! Then I'll have to take a look. Chu Ziyao said with a smile.

While the two were talking and laughing, they heard Hong Erniu shouting in the reeds, and it turned out that he had accidentally fallen into a puddle and was struggling.

Hong Erniu is also one of the people who were recruited this time.

"Hee-hee." Hong Erniu's embarrassment made the women on the shore laugh.

"I said Li Xiuxiu, did you pull Erniu to fight again last night, otherwise how could he have weak legs?" Fighting is a rural vernacular, in fact, it is to live a married life.

The interrogator was a plump and full-fledged young woman in her thirties.

Li Xiuxiu squinted at the young woman and said, "Yes, we were fighting last night, and we heard a noise outside the window as if someone was eavesdropping, isn't it?" You didn't leave for a month and you made a commotion? ”

The conversation between the two suddenly made the women next to them laugh uncontrollably.

The young woman was obviously also a pungent person, and when she heard Li Xiuxiu tease her, she smiled and "spit", and then sneered at each other without showing weakness.

Tan Wenlin and Chu Ziyao, who were standing not far away, of course heard the fishy conversation between the two clearly, Tan Wenlin didn't have anything, but Chu Ziyao's face was as red as an apple, neither to leave nor to stay.

The two came and went and taunted each other, without any regard for others.

In the end, a slightly amiable woman smiled and said, "Don't talk about it, there are big girls here, let them hear something like it!" ”

Next to everyone, only Tan Wenlin and Chu Ziyao were not married, and the big girl and young man who were kind to the woman were of course referring to them, Chu Ziyao saw that everyone was looking at the two of them, and her pretty face turned even redder.

Fortunately, at this time, Hong Erniu, who fell in the reeds, climbed into the puddle, snorting and screaming, diverting everyone's attention, and saw that Hong Erniu was still holding a black thing the size of a basin in his hand.

"It's a soft-shelled turtle, oh my God, it's such a big soft-shelled turtle!"

"This soft-shelled turtle has at least four catties, tsk, these four catties of wild soft-shelled turtle can be sold for thousands of yuan."

The originally lively crowd around the reeds began to talk after seeing the soft-shelled turtle silent for a short time.

The next thing made everyone even more shocked, as Hong Erniu caught a soft-shelled turtle, other villagers in the river also caught soft-shelled turtles in the deep pit, and each one was bigger than the other.

There are not only soft-shelled turtles, but also huge crabs and fish.

"Since there are so many good things in this reed, the number of soft-shelled turtles and crabs in the water can be sold for at least tens of thousands of yuan, and now the old Tan family can turn over." Everyone looked at Tan Wenlin's family and was envious.

At this time, Tan Changqiang and Zhang Guifang watched the soft-shelled turtles being dug out, and the two clenched their palms with each other excitedly, and Zhang Guifang even shed tears excitedly.

Although Tan Wenlin told them a few days ago that there were a large number of soft-shelled turtles and crabs in the deep pit of the reeds, the two of them were still uneasy, after all, the Tan family could no longer withstand the toss.

Now that everything has come true, their hanging hearts have finally been put down.

Uncle Tan Wenlin and his aunt stood there far away, and when Lu Weidang caught a large number of soft-shelled turtles, the two were envious and jealous, "How does this Wenlin kid know that there are good things here?" Uncle muttered.

A few hours later, as a large number of soft-shelled turtles and crabs came out of the water, the capture work also came to an end, and the ten villagers groped again until they were sure that there was not a single soft-shelled turtle left.

Baskets full of soft-shelled turtles, crabs and big fish were brought ashore, and the villagers came to watch with a "wow" at the same time.

Tan Wenlin asked his family to look at the "baby", borrowed a tricycle by himself, and then went to the town with a few baskets of babies.
