Chapter 21: The Slug Tuo
"Brother Chen, when are you going back to Shenzhen?"
Li Chen has often gone into the mountains with Li Chengye in the past few days, and he picked up some cordyceps when he had nothing to do, and took advantage of the sunny afternoon to take them out to dry.
"Do you want to go back? I'll take you to the county seat to take a taxi. ”
Wang Yingying has been in Lijia Village for three days, and Li Chen was lukewarm to her at first, but gradually the relationship between the two improved.
After spending a few days in Lijia Village, Wang Yingying began to miss life in the metropolis again.
Li Chen went into the mountain every morning and went to the fish pond at the foot of the mountain to fish in the afternoon, and his life was free and easy.
Li Chen also went to the city twice, in order to give Chen Xiaoyou watermelons, Li Chen also deliberately avoided Wang Yingying and ran to logistics while she was shopping.
"Second master, go fishing."
A little boy of four or five years old, wearing open crotch pants, ran into the yard, and in his hand he also held a thin bamboo pole with a thick hemp rope tied to it.
"Dudu ran out alone, did Grandpa say that he came to the second master?"
Li Chen squatted down and picked up the child, this is the grandson of Lao Li at the end of the village, since Li Chen returned to the village, he often ran to the ancestral house to play, and he relied on Li Chen as soon as he came and went.
"I told my grandfather that I would go fishing with the second master in the afternoon, and my grandfather also said that I would catch a big fish and go home, and let the second master come to my house to eat fish in the evening."
Dudu raised the "fishing rod" of his mobile phone, smirked at Li Chen with a thick face, and blew out a bubble from time to time, no wonder the boy of the third brother's family always called Dudu a slug.
"Okay, let's go fishing, you wait for the second master."
Li Chen is also going to go fishing in the afternoon, just take Dudu with him, Lao Li is too old to run, Li Chen helps Lao Li watch the child, and Lao Li can rest assured that he can make a pig cage at home.
Wang Yingying heard that Li Chen was going fishing, but she frowned but didn't speak, she was almost annoyed to death in the past few days.
There is no Internet and entertainment facilities in the village, so she stays in the ancestral house every day, and Wang Yingying feels deeply gloomy.
"Second grandma, Dudu wants to drink water...
After Li Chen finished drying the grass insects, he turned around and ran into the back room to get a fishing rod, and only Wang Yingying and Dudu were left in the yard.
Children like everything they see, especially snacks and fruits, and when they saw Wang Yingying's Wang Laoji drink on the table, they ran to Wang Yingying and stared at Wang Yingying.
"Take this for you, you go to the door and wait for your second master."
Wang Yingying saw Dudu running over, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Dudu, Dudu saw Wang Yingying's straight face, stopped and didn't dare to approach.
took the drink handed over by Wang Yingying, hugged it in his arms and ran quickly to the door, glanced at Li Chen before he came out, and sat on the bluestone threshold to unpack it.
Dudu is only four or five years old, probably because his physique is relatively weak, and he often has a runny nose, after Wang Yingying handed Dudu a drink, she took out a tissue and kept wiping her hands, over and over again, this scene happened to fall in Li Chen's eyes.
"Let's go, let's go fishing for big fish, and ask your mother to make braised fish for you at night."
Li Chen walked out of the compound, holding a fish bucket in one hand and pulling Xiao Dudu forward with the other.
There are more than ten families left in Lijia Village, and how many Li Chen are a little related.
According to the genealogy of the generation, Dudu still has to call Li Chen the second master.
Li Chen, as a grandfather, likes Dudu very much, except for the snot bubbles, Dudu is both smart and sensible, and very likable.
"Second master, I'm going to catch a big fish later, a big big fish."
"How big?"
"It's so big, it's bigger than that."
Xiao Dudu gestured to Li Chen as he walked, how big it is, I'm afraid even he doesn't know, even if there is such a big fish, not to mention whether his "fishing rod" can be caught, even if he can catch it, he can't pull it.
The fish pond at the foot of the front was left by Li Chen's grandfather, and although no one has managed it in recent years, there are still many wild fish in the pond.
Every household in the village has a fish pond, and no one will steal a few fish, and there are not many others in Lijia Village, that is, there are many mountains and wide land, and fish ponds and lakes can be seen everywhere.
"Does Dudu like the second grandmother? She will also give you candy candy to eat every day! ”
After Li Chen threw the rod, he turned his head to the little dudu under the tree and asked.
Li Chen has been very fond of eating fish since he was a child, and when he was a child, he thought that when he grew up, he would raise fish with his grandfather, so that he could eat fish every day.
When he grew up, Li Chen realized how naïve his original idea was.
"I don't like ......, and the second grandmother doesn't like Dudu."
Xiao Dudu blew a snort and replied with a serious face.
Dudu didn't like Wang Yingying from the bottom of his heart, and he was a little scared every time he saw Wang Yingying.
If it weren't for Li Chen's living in the ancestral house, Dudu would rather not go to the ancestral house to play, because Wang Yingying's attitude towards Dudu is really not very friendly, and this Dudu can feel it.
"Dudu, you help me watch the fishing rod, don't let the big fish drag away the second master's fishing rod, otherwise there will be no big fish to eat at night."
The weather was still a little hot in the afternoon, Li Chen suddenly remembered the watermelon in the territory, and it wouldn't be a big problem to take a watermelon in front of Dudu.
"Second master, are you going to go to shhhhh
Dudu stared at Li Chen's fishing rod without looking back, Dudu liked Li Chen's fishing rod very much, but unfortunately he couldn't use it.
The fishing rod in Dudu's hand was made for him by his grandfather, which can fish and catch frogs, and in Dudu's eyes, this is the real "fishing rod"
"The host...... Where have you been these days... Woo..."
As soon as Li Chen entered the territory, the Flying Tiger pounced into Li Chen's arms to sell cuteness, although the territory expanded to a thousand square meters, but there were no other animals except the Flying Tiger, and without Li Chen's permission, the Flying Tiger could not leave the territory.
The melon vine climbed out of the stream, and the melon field of nearly 200 square meters grew more than 1,000 large watermelons, the largest of which was almost 30 catties.
"Why did you forget this?"
When Li Chen was picking watermelons by the stream, he saw the big herring swimming in the stream, and then he thought that there were fish in his territory, and if he wanted to eat the fish, he could catch them directly in the territory.
Li Chen carried the watermelon out of the territory, and the Flying Tiger wanted to go out with Li Chen this time.
This is not a metropolis, as long as the Flying Tiger does not behave too much, who cares about a little white cat?
"Second master, Dudu is not lazy, and has been helping you watch the fishing rod......"
From Li Chen turned around and walked into the bushes, Dudu turned his head to look at the bushes from time to time.
Dudu is only more than five years old, and he can sit under the tree and wait for Li Chen to come back, which is already very obedient.
"The second master knows that Dudu is the most well-behaved, and rewards Dudu with a big watermelon, do you want to eat it?"
Li Chen put down the watermelon, touched Dudu's little head and said, a watermelon of nearly thirty catties, the grandfather and grandson ate it in less than half an hour, and there was an extra pile of melon peels in the fish pond.
"Second master, I'm going to sh......hhh
Dudu wiped the melon crumbs on his face, holding his little belly, this kid threw melon skins into the fish pond while eating watermelon, and grabbed Li Chen to eat watermelon, it was strange that his stomach did not rise.
It was so bad that Li Chen only caught a few small carp in the afternoon, and was finally poured back into the fish pond by Li Chen, and secretly took out the big herring in the territory.
"The big wolf is out, and if you don't leave, you're going to be eaten......"
As the sun set, Li Chen carried a bucket and pulled Dudu, walking on the path in the countryside and fields, humming a familiar song, which had the feeling of a hermit in the rivers and lakes.
"Since grandpa wants me to stay, I'll stay with grandpa, and as for the gold and silver jewelry that stays, I will pass it on from generation to generation......"
Li Chen glanced at the reflection on the fish pond, remembering that when he was a child, his grandfather also pulled him like this, and Li Chen finally made up his mind to stay.
As for whether Wang Yingying will stay, Li Chen has no idea in his heart, he plans to take some time to have a good talk with Wang Yingying.
If Wang Yingying is willing, it is best, and if she is unwilling, Li Chen does not want to force it.
