Chapter 57: Digging a Pit
Then the brothers went to catch the fish in the small puddle back to the barrel, because this time there was a flatbed truck, and they were no longer afraid of the heavy burden on the road, so they added some more water. Zhou Wanwan went over and touched the fish in the barrel, added some spiritual spring water to them, and drank a little bit for the little rabbits who had been drying all morning, whether they were sold or roasted and eaten, they had to be kept fresh.
The three brothers and sisters quickly made preparations before departure, and like last time, Zhou Chen made a ventilated grass cover for the barrel, and by the way, tied a grass nest and hid a few rabbits in it. At this time, it is simply too rare to see such a fat rabbit, in case you meet someone along the way, whether it is to cause trouble or gossip.
It's so convenient to have this flatbed. With the load capacity of this car, it is not a problem to load a thousand catties of things on the potholed field road, and now it only loads a wooden barrel of dozens of catties, which is effortless to push, and its shock absorption system is particularly good, the wooden barrel does not spill any water on the car, and it does not move steadily.
Zhou Wanwan didn't have to be tied to Zhou Yang's back like last time and didn't dare to move, this time Zhou Yang carried her on his shoulders, and felt that she was tired of sitting in his arms, and the three brothers and sisters walked to the town like a spring outing.
After setting off, Zhou Yang first tried to push a flatbed truck by himself, and found that it was not effortless at all, so he was relieved to hand it over to Zhou Chen, who was eager to try. Zhou Chen pushed the car, it was fun, pushing and pulling for a while, and also encouraged Zhou Wanwan, "Come up, the second brother pushes you to run for a while, it's fun!" ”
Zhou Wanwan hugged her eldest brother's neck tightly and didn't let go, and there was a big brother's human flesh seat, so she didn't go to take a flatbed car.
Zhou Chen continued to tempt Zhou Wanwan: "It's okay to let the eldest brother sit with you, the second brother can push it." ”
Zhou Wanwan hugged Zhou Yang's neck and continued to be unmoved, pointing to the grass on the side of the road and said, "Big brother, I want dog tail grass, I want it big." ”
Zhou Yang happily went to pick the dog's tail grass for his sister, and he didn't see his brother's resentful little eyes at all.
With the flatbed truck, difficult field roads were no longer a problem, and the three of them quickly bypassed the village and walked on the gravel road to the village.
The Zhou Yang brothers began to discuss the sale of fish and rabbits, and Zhou Wanwan was hugged by Zhou Chen. In order to comfort Zhou Chen, who had just been injured in the little heart, Zhou Wanwan obediently leaned her soft little head on her second brother's shoulder, and her fleshy little paws were attached to Zhou Chen's neck, Zhou Chen was immediately cured, and proposed with a smile: "When you come back, the second brother will take you in the car, and let the eldest brother push the two of us!" ”
Zhou Wanwan endured it so that she didn't slap Zhou Chen with her little fleshy paws, this kid is stunned, right?
The two of them have already discussed the matter of selling fish, first take out a few and sell them to others, see the price, and then see if there are other sales, just counting on one is a bit risky. If the price given by the truck driver last time was reasonable, today's fish would still be sold to him, after all, it was all negotiated, and you have to be honest, this is what Zhou Yang repeatedly emphasized, and Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan also agreed with the eldest brother's idea.
There was a slight disagreement between the brothers about what to do with the rabbit. Zhou Chen's idea was to sell two, and take one back to the three brothers and sisters to roast and eat. Zhou Yang also agreed to sell two, but the remaining one wanted to take home. The family hasn't eaten a bite of serious meat for several years, and when you have good things, you always have to take care of your family. I'm afraid that my sister will be hungry when I say about the fish, and I'm afraid that I will delay saving my sister's tuition, but the rabbit won't give it to the family at all, and Zhou Yang's heart is really upset.
Zhou Chen was silent for a while, glanced at Zhou Wanwan, and then looked at Zhou Yang, "You want to eat roast rabbit meat, and you've been talking to me for a long time." ”
Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhou Yang's embarrassed expression and didn't help Zhou Chen speak, she knew that as long as she said that she especially wanted to eat roast rabbit meat, Zhou Yang would keep the rabbit for herself to eat. But she didn't want her eldest brother to be so embarrassed, the most important thing was that she had to take this opportunity to let her eldest brother understand that the Zhou family's family was not something he could take care of, and it was not worth taking care of.
In the future, they will have more things, and they will encounter many such situations, and the sooner Zhou Yang understands it, the less damage he will suffer, and the smaller the loss will be for their brother and sister. So, it's still worth it to take out this rabbit.
"Big brother, I won't eat roast rabbit meat anymore, let the milk stew and our family will eat it." Zhou Wanwan smiled sweetly at Zhou Yang, "When dividing the meat, can you let me give me a large piece of milk?" "Their rabbit meat is not easy to eat, you have to plant a seed in Zhou Yang's heart first, and then dig a pit for Mrs. Zhou to ensure that this rabbit is not sacrificed in vain.
"Big brother, I'll see it's okay, let's let the milk leave a rabbit leg for Nannan, right? She is small, she can eat enough on one leg, and the rest of our family can eat a few pieces each. Zhou Chen seemed to immediately understand what Zhou Wanwan meant, and proposed according to her words.
"Okay, so we can eat meat, and our whole family can taste it." Zhou Yang felt that the proposal of his younger brother and sister was too good, so that the problem was solved.
Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan didn't say anything to the blindly optimistic eldest brother. With their understanding of Mrs. Zhou, it would be a blessing that this rabbit was not sent to the county seat by her to Zhou Hongxiang, and they didn't expect to leave a leg for Zhou Wanwan to eat.
Maybe Zhou Yang also understands, but his kindness in heart and sense of responsibility to his relatives make him unable to do things that completely disregard family affection. So he felt even more guilty about his sensible younger brothers and sisters, and explained to them in a low voice: "Forget about others, our dad and Xiaoxia haven't eaten anything all these years, and we don't dare to give them privately if we have something." Take this rabbit back, how can they eat a few bites......"
Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan both nodded, indicating that they understood the eldest brother's thoughts. They did understand that if Zhou Yang wasn't the one who loved his relatives so much, he wouldn't be so kind to the two of them. Their eldest brother gives them peace of mind and selfless love, and the main reason is because they are his younger siblings. Similarly, Zhou Chunliang and Zhou Xia are also Zhou Yang's close relatives, and he also has the same love for them, although the practices of these two people make Zhou Yang dare not treat them unreservedly, but his heart is still concerned about them, Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan can't stop Zhou Yang from taking care of these two people. It's too selfish to treat their eldest brother like that.
However, they can't watch these two people consume Zhou Yang's family affection without limit, let alone watch Zhou Yang's sincerity towards his relatives being hurt by the Zhou family. They will let Zhou Yang see the true face of these people as soon as possible, let him choose to guard against them, and isolate them from his world, so that Zhou Yang can come out of the shackles of these people and stay away from their harm.
In order to enliven the atmosphere, Zhou Wanwan opened her little hand to Zhou Yang, asking her eldest brother to hug her, and making a fuss about resting. Zhou Yang saw that it was still early, so he relied on his sister, sat in the shade on the side of the road to rest, caught a gnats for her, and made a simple cage, and survived all the time, making his sister happy, and Zhou Yang also grinned for a while.
