Chapter 174: Catching a Toad in the Rain
Soybeans were planted for two days, and on the third day, they were planted with bud rice, sorghum, millet, millet, etc., although these are not as good as soybeans, they can be harvested some, and it is good to keep them for their own food.
As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, they can be planted a few days later, and then Zhou Anhe and others can come up and plant them again, and there is no need for children to help.
"Let's all hurry up, the weather is not very good today, and I see that it is going to rain.
Let's all hurry up, don't rest too long at noon, hurry up and finish the work and go back, so as not to be watered by the rain. ”
In the middle of the afternoon, Zhou Anhe looked up at the sky and saw that the sky in the north was a little cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain, so he turned around and said to everyone.
Everyone agreed, and then quickened their work.
Here, Han Caiying muttered while plowing the ground, "I don't know how our dad and they went into the mountain?"
I left yesterday afternoon, and I haven't seen it back by this time, alas, it's also worrying. ”
Anything can happen in this deep mountain and old forest, although the three abilities of the old man Han's ancestors and grandchildren are not small, and they also carry shotguns, but they are afraid that some beasts will suddenly appear and suffer losses in a hurry.
"It's okay, don't worry, our dad's skills and marksmanship are first-class, even if you really meet any fierce beasts, it will be our dad's life.
I guess it's too far to go out, so wait, if it doesn't work, Junlin and I will continue to stay and watch the garden tonight. Zhou Anhe comforted his daughter-in-law.
The two chatted for a few words, then lowered their heads and worked again, and they were busy until eleven o'clock at noon, when Han Caiying and Liu hurriedly went back to cook the hot meal.
Yesterday the old lady made a lot of steamed buns, and today she brought a lot of them for lunch, so just heat them up.
As soon as the meal was served here, I heard a heavy footsteps, Han Caiying hurriedly came out to check, it turned out to be the three grandchildren of Old Man Han who came back.
"Dad, you're finally back, we were worried this morning, didn't we encounter anything?" Han Chaeyoung hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, it's all going well, I finally found the bear this morning, and sure enough, it died, it was bitten by the tiger and bled to death.
It's such a big bear, we don't like to move, so we clean it up there, and then we carry it back. Old Man Han said with a smile.
The bear has been dead for a long time, and the meat is afraid that it can't be eaten, but people can't eat it and there are dogs, so it's good to bring it back and feed the dogs.
Especially Ah Huang, now feeding the little tiger, eating more meat can also give more milk, so the three of them are not too heavy, and after disposing of the bear's corpse, they also brought the meat back.
"How's it going at home? Is that little tiger boy okay? "The old man is thinking about the little tiger boy, don't let them bother to get the meat back, but the tiger boy is gone.
"Dad, the tiger boy is fine, Ann stewed a pot of meat with them last night, and fed Ah Huang a lot.
This morning, Tiantian fed the little tiger cub some milk powder, it's okay, I love to drink, I should be able to feed it. ”
Han Caiying said with a smile, it is estimated that this is fate, so that the little tiger boy met Tiantian, if no one looks for it, the little tiger boy will starve to death.
"Okay, good, it's good to be able to feed, it's finally not in vain for our sweet thoughts." Old Man Han looked quite tired, sitting on the wooden pier resting and panting.
"Dad, the rice is hot, let's come into the house to eat, I will rest after eating, it looks like it is going to rain in the afternoon." Han Chaeyoung greeted Old Man Han, and they all went into the house to rest and wait for dinner.
The people who were working in the fields over there also returned, so everyone quickly washed their hands and went to eat steamed buns.
After lunch, the big guy didn't rest, and hurried to the field again.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky are gathering more and more, and the sky is getting darker and darker.
Everyone hurriedly finished planting the land, and before they could pack up their things, the rain began to fall.
Fortunately, it didn't rain much at first, so everyone hurriedly packed up their things, found a few raincoats to protect the children from the rain, and hurriedly got into the car.
Zhou An and the couple came by mule cart on the 30th, and the mule cart has been on the mountain for the past two days.
Originally, I wanted to rush back today, but when I saw the weather, I could only give up, put the mule cart on the mountain first, and if it didn't rain, Zhou Anhe would come up again to catch the car.
Everyone hurriedly got into the car, Han Liwei drove away, the car was driving, and it was raining, not too big or small.
After running for a while, the car came to the vicinity of the bank of the Groove River, and at this time, the sharp-eyed Han Liwei and others found that many things on the ground were jumping up and down.
"Oh, there are still toads coming ashore at this time? It's quite a lot, look. Han Liwei pointed outside.
Toad, a name given to forest frogs by Northeast Chinese, is a creature that jumps from the mountains to rivers in autumn to spend the winter, and when it rains in spring, it goes ashore to lay eggs in ponds, and then goes to live in the mountains.
There is little rain in the spring this year, and there are few toads ashore, if it rains a lot in the past year, there will be no toads during the May Day period.
Zhou Tiantian's three sisters were in the driver's building, and they also saw toads at this time, "Oh, it's a lot, look, there are all jumping on the ground." ”
"Second uncle, stop quickly, let's go down and catch the toad, and when we catch it, we will go home and stew a pot to eat." Zhou Yanyan is a kid character, as soon as she saw the toads all over the ground, she came to the spirit, so she had to catch the toads on the ground and stew them to eat.
Han Liwei was actually quite excited, so he stopped the car and jumped down, "Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, there are so many toads on the ground, do you want to catch some and go back?" ”
Everyone in the car, especially the boys, all widened their eyes when they heard this, "Then you need to talk?" Of course catch it, go, go down and catch the toad. ”
With that, the boys jumped out of the car and began to grab the toads bouncing on the ground.
Zhou An, Han Caiying and others looked at it, sitting in the car was also in the rain, and it was the same when they went down to catch toads, so what else did they say? Scratch it.
So all these people also got out of the car and started catching toads on the road.
In these years, the ecological environment has not been so seriously damaged, and the toads are not only more but also bigger, and the more they catch a meat, the more addictive they become.
This is the last toad of the year to come ashore, a large number of toads jumped up from the river, and I saw that the road was jumping all over the place.
Everyone is so energetic that it doesn't matter if it's raining or not, they just keep their heads down and look for it, and when they see it, they will catch it.
This grabbed for almost an hour, and then everyone saw that there were a lot of catches, almost a pocket, so they stopped, got back in the car and walked back.
There are still a lot of toads on the road, and the people who watch them are greedy, "If you catch it overnight, I'm afraid you will have to catch hundreds of pounds, right?" That's a lot. ”
Jiang Junqi leaned on the carriage board, turned his head to look out, and said regretfully.
"Why are you catching so much? It is enough for us to eat, and people must learn to be content and not greedy. Chang Yanzhe glanced at his cousin and said lightly.
People are inevitably greedy, so later, there were very few toads in the wild.
