Chapter 21: Dudu
"Brother Chen, when are you going back to Shenzhen?"
Li Chen often went into the mountains with Li Chengye, picked up some cordyceps when he had nothing to do, and took advantage of the sunny afternoon to take it 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 either goes into the mountains to collect medicine or goes fishing every day, and lives a comfortable life.
During this period, 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 the logistics company 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.
"You ran out alone, did you tell your grandfather to come 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 invite the second master to 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 suffocated face, and blew out a bubble from time to time, no wonder the third brother's kid always called Dudu a slug.
"Okay, let's go fishing, you wait for the second master."
Li Chen also wanted to go fishing in the afternoon, so he happened to take Dudu with him, Lao Li was too old to run, Li Chen helped Lao Li watch the child, and Lao Li could rest assured that he could 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...
Li Chen 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 see the drinks on Wang Yingying's table, they run to Wang Yingying, but they stared at Wang Yingying very much.
"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, and immediately stopped and didn't dare to approach.
took Wang Yingying's drink, hugged it in his arms and ran quickly to the door, glanced at Li Chen who had not come out yet, 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 runny nose bubbles.
After Wang Yingying handed the 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 snot bubbles, Dudu is smart and sensible, and is very likable.
"Second master, I'm going to catch a big fish later, a big big fish."
"How big?"
"It's so big."
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 catch it, 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.
"Does Dudu like the second grandmother?"
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 it, 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 every time he saw Wang Yingying, he was a little scared.
If it weren't for Li Chen's living in the ancestral house, Dudu wouldn't have gone to the ancestral house to play.
Because Wang Yingying's attitude towards Dudu is indeed not very friendly, 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 is still a little hot in the afternoon, and it shouldn't be a big problem to get 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.
There are more than 1,000 large watermelons growing in a melon field of nearly 200 square meters, and the largest ones are 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 he didn't need to fish if he wanted to eat fish.
Li Chen carried the watermelon out of the territory, and the Flying Tiger wanted to go out with Li Chen.
It's not a metropolis, as long as the Flying Tiger doesn't behave too badly, 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 walking 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.
"Second master, I'm going to shhh
Dudu wiped the melon crumbs on his face, held his little belly and said.
Dudu ate watermelon while throwing melon skin into the fish pond, rushing to eat watermelon, and it was strange to be able to catch fish.
In the afternoon, Li Chen caught a few small carp, and in the end, Li Chen poured them all back into the fish pond and secretly took out the big herring.
"The big wolf has come out, and if you don't leave, you will be eaten by the wolf."
As the sun set, Li Chen carried a bucket and pulled Dudu, walking on the path in the countryside and fields, with 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."
Glancing at the reflection on the fish pond, Li Chen remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather also pulled himself like this.
As for whether Wang Yingying stayed, Li Chen didn't know in his heart, he planned to take some time to talk to Wang Yingying.
If Wang Yingying is willing to do best, if she is unwilling, Li Chen doesn't want to force it.
