Chapter Fifty-Six: Fishing for Chickens
Lying quietly on the roof, listening to the sound of the wind blowing through the flowers and plants all over the yard, and occasionally hearing a few cicadas, Yao Huang's mood was not as calm as she appeared. Today's life is really not what she wants, and if she has a choice, she would rather be a housemaid who eats and waits for death. Because that world is the world he is familiar with, this world is the world world, this world world, she always feels that she is a passerby. Although she is close to the Yao family on the surface, there is still a faint estrangement, she can help them get out of the poor life and help them settle down, but for them, Yao Huang still lacks the feeling of blood connection. Is it because you are too cold? Yao Huang questioned himself, and the answer was one insolence at a time. Yao Huang sighed and decided to put the issue down. Anyway, she will leave this world one day, so it's better to have less emotional involvement.
When thinking wildly, time is always losing rapidly, in a burst of chaos, the moon rabbit goes west, the morning star rises, the insects in the middle of the night seem to have begun to sleep, many insects have fallen silent, the thin dew has wet Yao Huang's clothes, the temperature at this time is only a few degrees, quite cold, but Yao Huang can't feel the cold, the benefits of cultivation are self-evident.
"Second sister, what do you want? Didn't sleep all night. Wenren Qianye walked into the courtyard and looked up to talk to Yao Huang. The moonlight fell on him, covering him with a layer of silver, noble and elegant, more like a member of the immortal family than Yao Huang.
Yao Huang got up and jumped into the yard and asked, "Brother-in-law got up so early?" ”
"I can't sleep and I get up." Wenren Chiba smiled.
"Brother-in-law has something on his mind?" It must have something to do with the Wen family, and there is nothing bad in his own family that can make Wen people Chiba worry.
"It's not counting, it's just that I met an old acquaintance a few days ago. I just felt a little bit for a while. Wenren Qianye saw Yao Huang's thoughts, "Don't worry." It doesn't involve our family. It's hard to live a good life, how can I let it be ruined! ”
"That's good." Yao Huang relented. Although her current ability is good, she doesn't have much chance of winning against a behemoth like the family, unless she waits until she builds a foundation to have the basic ability to compete with the family.
Dressed in the room, Yao Huang said, "Sister is up." ”
Wenren Chiba smiled softly, "Your sister is always like this, getting up early and going to bed late." There is no more virtuous woman than her. ”
"It's a blessing for my brother-in-law to marry my sister."
"Yes, how fortunate I am to marry your sister and have relatives like you." Wenren Chiba sighed, "So I'll cherish it!" ”
Yao Huang also smiled, she could feel the sincerity of Wenren Qianye, and the trace of defense that had always existed in her heart finally disappeared.
The life in the small village was uneventful, and the most violent incident was that Qingfei ran away with someone. In March, Qingfei gave birth to a daughter, and it didn't last long after she was just out of confinement. She went to the city with Guan Zhuzi, but Guan Zhuzi didn't pay attention, and he disappeared, Qingfei's figure. Holding the little daughter who was waiting to be fed, he searched for three days and three nights in the city. Guan Zhuzi finally accepted the fact that his wife abandoned him and his daughter. Later, Guan Zhuzi entrusted his daughter to the village chief's family and left Qingshui Village alone. Some people say that Guan Zhuzi went to find his wife. Some people say that Guan Zhuzi was stimulated and thought that his wife ran away with someone because he hated him for having no money and no ability. So I went out to make a lot of money...... There are different opinions, but the specific reasons. No one knows what to do. Aunt Hua is very unkind to the little baby left by the pillar, this child is not their family's species, why does she want to help others raise children? Aunt Hua wanted to throw away the child many times, but seeing the innocent little face of the child, Aunt Hua couldn't bear it, so she could only let her daughter-in-law take care of the little girl, and don't hold her in front of her.
"Second sister, second sister, fishing chicken, do you want to go?" Yao Qing pulled Xiao Ke and shouted in the courtyard.
Yao Huang stuck his head out of the window of the room, "Go, you have to go." ”
In autumn, the crab fat rice flowers are fragrant, and the fields are waiting for the golden harvest of the harvest, and this harvest season is most suitable for fishing, shrimp fishing, and field chicken fishing. And these activities are the favorite of rural children, not only can they play, but they can also eat the harvest afterwards, killing two birds with one stone.
The boys each hold a homemade fishing rod – a short wooden stick or a thin rope tied to a bamboo pole, and the girls carry a covered bamboo basket to which they can hold the pheasant. The bait of the field chicken can be the thigh of a toad, or the body of a grasshopper, or the flowers of a loofah, pumpkin, or an earthworm, which are common and easy to prepare. The boys dug up a jar of earthworms, and the girls picked half a basket of pumpkin flowers, which was very rich, which shows how high the children's enthusiasm for fishing chickens is.
The rice in the field reached the children's waists, and the field chickens jumped up and down in the grain field, so lively. However, due to the large number of people, the field chickens were so frightened that they hid in the depths of the rice fields.
"Quiet!" Yao Qing, the "boss", was powerful, "You made a fuss about the chickens in the fields, how can you catch the chickens?" From now on, you are not allowed to speak again, and when I allow you to speak, you will not be able to open your mouth. ”
"......" A gust of wind blew, and no one answered.
Yao Qing was furious, "Why don't you answer?" ”
Yao Huang said coldly, "Third brother, didn't you say that from now on, everyone can't speak?" ”
Yao Qing wiped his sweat, these guys were too obedient, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything superfluous, let's start fishing for field chickens!" ”
Yo yes! The little friends were so happy that they almost cheered, but then they thought of the order of the "boss", quickly covered their mouths, quickly got on the bait, and threw a rope to catch the field chicken. The hearing of the field chicken is very sensitive, and the sound of the group of people just now has already startled them, even if everyone is silent at this time, the field chicken will not run out of the depths of the rice field for a while.
After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, the pheasants felt that there was no danger left, and jumped out of the depths of the rice field. The children were ecstatic in their hearts, but they had rich experience and knew that they could not make a sound at this time, otherwise they would have to give up all their efforts, and they held back their voices one by one, and gently shook the wooden sticks in their hands. The field chicken only eats the active insects, and most of the insects tied to the silk thread are dead. Therefore, shake the rod so that the bugs or pumpkin flowers tied to one end of the rope shake together. In this way, when the field chicken saw that the insect was moving and thought it was a living thing, he jumped up and ate it, and fell into the control of everyone. At this time, you can't rush to collect the fishing rod, and you must pay attention to whether the field chicken has completely swallowed the worms into its stomach. If so, then quickly pull the fishing rod, lest the chickens run out of insects and slip away.
Yao Huang also took a fishing rod to catch field chickens, looking at the field chickens' mouths one by one, the pink inside was clearly visible, and Yao Huang was full of confidence. It's a pity that she caught the timing unsteadily, and she lifted the fishing rod early, allowing the field chicken to escape.
Time slowly faded, Yao Huang mastered the rules, and every time he fished, he could successfully catch field chickens, so he became the one who caught the most in everyone. When all the baskets were filled with field chickens, Yao Qing gave an order, and everyone stopped fishing for field chickens.
"How much did you catch?" Erhuzi ran to Sister Zhang Qiao's side excitedly, and reached out to lift the lid.
Sister Zhang Qiao stretched out her hand and slapped Erhuzi's rough hand away, "Be careful, don't let the pheasant run away." ”
Ah Ming hurriedly took out the grass roots that were ready to be used as ropes, grabbed a field chicken and tied one foot with the grass roots, tied it into a string and threw it to one of the children.
"It's a bit too much, at least for two months, and I can't catch it again." Yao Qing finished counting, and the older generation told them that the chickens were for everyone to eat the pests in the field, and they could not be allowed to go extinct, otherwise the rice in the field would be harmed by pests.
"Yes, yes." Other children also know this truth.
"Alright, the loot is distributed, let's go home!" Yao Qing waved his hand and returned to the village with the children in a majestic manner. Along the way, the children chattered and talked non-stop, discussing how to make the best chicken to eat. You must know that the meat of the chicken is tender and delicious.
"Second sister, can you make me a boiled field chicken?" Yao Qing forcibly endured the harazi and leaned into Yao Huang's ear and said.
Yao Huang said briskly, "Okay! She also misses the taste of the chicken. In modern times, there is a restaurant downstairs in Yao Huang's house that specializes in selling field chicken, and the field chicken hot pot and dry pot field chicken in it taste first-class, which makes people want to eat it. It's a pity that the price is not cheap, and the otaku girl can only go to the tooth festival twice a month. If he had known that he was going to cross, Yao Huang would definitely take all his savings to that restaurant and have a big meal.
"Sister, we're back."
Yao Hong was cleaning the petals in the yard, and when she heard Yao Qing's shout, she looked up with a smile and said, "When I hear your energetic voice, I know that you have gained a lot!" ”
"Mother-" As soon as Xiao Ke Baozi saw his mother, he abandoned his little uncle and pounced, Yao Hong hurriedly opened his hands to catch his son's soft little body.
"Baby, you're heavy again." My mother can't hold it anymore. However, Yao Hong is very satisfied with the current weight of the little bun, the current little bun is healthy, because of the poor conditions at home, the little child is obviously two years old, but the weight is not as good as that of a one-year-old child, which makes her heartbroken. Now it's okay, the child's body is back, smart and healthy, and it's likable to look at.
Xiao Ke felt sorry for his mother, so he quickly slipped down from Yao Hong's arms, and said to his mother with a little face, "Mother, my uncle caught a lot of chickens, and my aunt said that she would make boiled chickens for us to eat." ”
"A little gluttonous cat, you know how to eat." Yao Hong gently scratched her son's nose.
Xiao Ke didn't follow, and once again threw himself into Yao Hong's arms and twisted like candy, resolutely refusing to admit that he was a foodie like his uncle. (To be continued......)
