They were so immersed in picking snails that they came together with great interest, and before they knew it, it was evening, and it finally stopped until the sunset was shining brightly on the horizon.

"Go home!"

With Jiang Ruonan's shout, the group carried it on their backs, walked up and down the hill in a row under the afterglow of the setting sun, and stepped on the last touch of the slanting sun and entered the house.

Lu Zhenjun just came home, and saw that they were all dirty, either mud and watermarks or grass clippings flying all over their heads, one by one, just like the wild people coming down from the mountain, Lu Zhenjun hurriedly stepped forward to take the back basket, and directly mentioned it in the yard to put it down, angry and funny: "I said that one by one, what's wrong with not being at home, I went to get this thing, all of them are shells, just a little bit of meat, and I am sorry that you carry it so far!" It's not too much trouble! ”

"It's not a hassle! Dad, I'm telling you, it's fun! Sanbao only went down to the field at the beginning, and was later ordered to guard the ridge, but even so, the child still didn't feel bored, and he was still unsatisfied when he talked to Lu Zhenjun, "Dad, will you take us with you next time?" "If my father goes, I can go to the field with my father, right? Hey, hey, that's even more fun!

How could Jiang Ruonan not see that he was a little careful, and said without waiting for Lu Zhenjun to speak: "How can your father have this free time?" You, don't be in a hurry to make up your mind again, haven't you tired you today? ”

"It's just, I'm so tired!" The second sister hurriedly nodded in response to her mother's words, "Mom is the most tired!" ”

"So next time, call Dad to come with us!" Sanbao pouted, the second sister is so stupid!

Dabao flicked his forehead: "Come on, Lu Laosan, I know that you just want to ask Dad to take you to the field!" ”

"Humph!" was exposed, and the three treasures of the mind did not blush, nor did they hide it, "Dad has great strength, he can lead me to the field!" ”

"You just dream!" Dabao grimaced, "You'd better have a few more years!" ”

"Bad brother!" Sambo rubbed his forehead, "I'll tell Dad!" ”

"Alright, alright!" Lu Zhenjun watched the two sons arguing, and didn't care, put all the back baskets together, and then turned around, "This time, the snails in the field have suffered a crime, and they have been made by you bandits as if they had entered the village, do you think that if you don't wait a few days, you will go down and pick it up again?" ”

When he said this, Sanbao was still ignorant: "No? After thinking for a while, it suddenly dawned on him, "It seems to be oh, we have all picked it up, no, we still have the small one, just such a small one" He stretched out his hand and compared it to a small shape: "Dad, let's go and have it!" ”

"You're so small, do you think you can eat it?" Lu Zhenjun touched his forehead, "Okay, when the seedlings (rice breeding) are ordered in spring next year, I'll take you there again, okay?" ”

"Good, good!" Sanbao's brows were furrowed, but as soon as he heard Lu Zhenjun promise to take them, the corners of his mouth grinned, "Dad is the best!" When the time comes, we'll have to pick more, and we'll have to carry two baskets! He held out two fingers and swore an oath.

Jiang Ruonan looked at Lu Zhenjun and nodded again, and hurriedly called out to him: "Okay, you can stop coaxing the child, don't agree if you can't do it!" "Don't think that Sanbao is still young, this child, as long as it is about food, he has a good memory!

"You train a lot every day, and you don't know when you have a task, so you can say that you will have this time in the future? Don't put it here to say it nicely! She is reminding Lu Zhenjun, and she can be regarded as explaining to the children. Don't expect too much, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

"That's it! Dad, where do you have any time? Don't coax the third brother here! Dabao was the first to react and pouted, obviously not believing Lu Zhenjun. went to pull Sanbao's hand again, "Third brother, you must know that Dad is very busy, he is going to fight the bad guys, and he will not have time to take us to the field!" ”

Sanbao grinned and pouted again, looking aggrieved, looking at Lu Zhenjun, although he didn't speak, but his eyes were asking clearly: Dad, can't you really do it?

"Why can't I do that?" Lu Zhenjun made Jiang Ruonan say that his face was strange and unsightly, and he was provoked by Dabao's words, and then said, "Two stinky boys, are they still not my own?" Why don't you believe in me at all? ”

Lu Zhenjun was simply a wicked person who sued first, disciplined the two sons, and finally said: "Okay, I'll leave the words here, and when I order seedlings next year, I will definitely take you to pick snails!" ”

"Don't believe me? Come on, let's give you a high-five! Lu Zhenjun caught the big treasure and high-fived him as an oath, the big treasure did the same, the three treasures didn't do it, stretched out his hand to pull the hook, and was preached by Lu Zhenjun.

Jiang Ruonan didn't bother to pay attention to them. Anyway, Lu Zhenjun also said that he is his own father, what does he want to promise, and she can't stop it, right?

I just hope that he can really do it then.

Anyway, Jiang Ruonan only has the bunch of treasures she brought back in his heart now.

A large back basket plus a small bucket and a basket, all are full, the most is snails, mixed with a few river shells during the period, the small one is as big as three fingers together, and the big one is bigger than the palm of an adult. The rest of the scattered crabs, river shrimp, and even a few loaches that were lucky enough to catch were all cleaned up.

The loaches are roasted and eaten that night, and they are cooked over a fire without any seasoning, and the tender taste makes people want to swallow their tongues. Crabs are a plaything that a few children take out to show off, and there is no meat anyway, that is, a few children have worked hard to catch, so let them go out to play, and when they have played enough, they will take it back and burn it to eat.

The rest of the snail shells were all rinsed, and all the sediment on the surface was washed away, and then they were all thrown into a large earthen tank and raised with clean water, half of which was to spit sand, and half of them couldn't be cleaned up tonight anyway, so they could only be left like this.

Early the next morning, after Li Shuying went to the service club, she hurried to Lu's house.

"It's been boiling for a while, haven't you?" Li Shuying took the celery and other seeds she helped buy together to Jiang Ruonan, and went to the kitchen to watch.

Early this morning, Jiang Ruonan scooped up all the snails and cleaned them again, and then put them all in the cauldron, because there were so many that he couldn't even cover the lid, so he could only cook them openly.

Therefore, Li Shuying saw the big pot of snails at a glance, and was surprised and didn't know what to say.

"W-That's too much, isn't it?"

Jiang Ruonan shook his head: "This thing is all shells, I look at it a lot now, and I will pick out the meat later, just a little." ”

"This is also, it is a loss for you to carry so much back." Li Shuying nodded, "It's so rare to clean up, it takes time and energy, it's not easy to tidy up!" ”

"I've got it all back, it's still a bite of meat, and it's quite delicious, so I can still make it whole if I think about it." Jiang Ruonan replied with a smile while looking at the fire.

"That's too." Li Shuying leaned against the door, "By the way, how long does this have to be cooked?" It's not easy to cook. ”

"Let's boil and see." Jiang Ruonan also stood up and looked at the pot, "It doesn't necessarily have to be cooked, it's mainly to pick out the meat." ”

While speaking, Song Dahe followed Dabao in, shouting: "Aunt Xiaojiang, how do you get snails?" Before he could answer, he ran to the kitchen and opened his eyes wide, "Wow, that's a lot of snails!" Aunt Xiaojiang, is the snail directly cooked? ”
