Yan Xi'an stood up and said, "How did I see something that glows?" ”

Lu Yu smiled: "What is it?" It's your eyes. Yan Xi'an's eyes were indeed very bright, and in the night, the pupils of his two eyes seemed to be shining with starlight.

"No, it's a bug." Yan Xi'an approached a cucumber stand and exclaimed, "Look, there are glowing insects here. ”

"Is it a firefly?" Lu Yu leaned on the door frame, turned his eyes to Yan Xi'an's side, and sure enough, he also saw a few small glittering insects, flying around the melon rack. Flowing fireflies, like stars and fire.

Yan Xi'an and the three of them had never seen fireflies, and Lan Shaofang had never heard of them, and they were all surprised and delighted when they heard Lu Yu say that the little insect that was glowing was a firefly.

Those small bugs that twinkle and shimmer are indeed fireflies, and this kind of bug is not uncommon in rural areas.

Yan Xi'an was very happy, she gently stretched out her palm, wanting to catch a small insect, but she was afraid that it would hurt them, so she carefully wanted to catch it but didn't dare to catch it.

But Yan Xiding didn't understand "pity" at all, and quickly reached out to hold a flying insect, but when his palm was separated, the insect inside had already been held to death by him, leaving only a little yellowish fluorescence in the palm of his hand.

"Xiding, you go away." Lan Shaofang was a little angry, and said angrily: "Why do you want to kill the fireflies, don't catch them." ”

Yan Xi smiled curtly, but didn't say anything, just walked away, walked to Lu Yu's side, bowed his head and said, "Isn't it just a bug, what's the big deal." ”

Lu Yu glanced at Yan Xiding and did not speak.

The two girls didn't dare to catch fireflies anymore, so they chased the fireflies around a few times, and then came over to ask Lu Yu if they could get something and put a few fireflies inside, so that they could glow by themselves for lighting.

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "You can make a small sarong, and you can put the fireflies in it." ”

"Sarong? I'll do it, I will. Yan Xi was sure to curry favor with Lan Shaofang, and immediately went back to the house.

Lu Yu shouted: "Are you going to remove my mosquito net?" ”

Early this morning, Lu Yu took Yan Xi'an and the three of them into Anding Valley. The day before, the other two pregnant goats also gave birth to lambs, and Lu Yu wanted to cut some more fat aquatic plants for them.

After mowing the grass, Lu Yu wants to plant seedlings, which is today's business.

Before planting seedlings, the seedlings grown in the seedling field should be pulled out, tied into a small bundle and thrown into the rice field, and then go to the rice field to row the seedlings in a row and insert them in the water at orderly intervals.

Today, Lan Shaofang and Yan Xiding pulled out the seedlings, and Lu Yu took Yan Xi to plant the seedlings, these four people are all young (Lu Yu is also young), and their hands and feet are fast, so this time the rice planting is much faster than the previous two times.

Go home at noon for dinner, rest for an hour, and then go back into the valley in the afternoon.

When planting rice in the afternoon, Lu Yu asked Yan Xiding if the fireflies he caught two days ago could still shine.

Yan Xiding said: "It's long gone, that thing is too difficult to live." After a pause, Yan Xiding said again: "I didn't kill them this time, they died by themselves." ”

Lu Yu smiled: "I don't blame you, fireflies have a very short lifespan, and it is difficult to survive a day in a cage." ”

Yan Xi'an heard it, stopped what he was doing, and said with some complaints: "Uncle, you know that fireflies can't be locked up, so why do you want Xiding to get a sarong." ”

Lu Yu thought to himself: "Aren't you and Shaofang looking for something to pack up the insects?" I just had an idea. Of course, he couldn't say this, and said with a smile: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have that bad idea." ”

"Hmph, it's just you." Yan Xi'an continued to bend down to plant seedlings, and after a while, he asked again: "Uncle, why do you say fireflies glow?" ”

Lu Yu thought for a while and said, "I can't tell you why it glows, it seems that there is a kind of glowing powder in the body of the insect." ”

"Oh."

Lan Shaofang suddenly said, "What powder?" I want it too. ”

The four of them were busy all day, and more than half of the more than five acres of paddy fields were inserted, and as long as there was one more day, they could be busy. Before going home in the evening, Lu Yu got two fish and a pheasant to go home, and it was very hard to work in the fields and needed to eat some meat.

Because Lu Yu and a few people were going into the valley to plant seedlings, Mrs. Yan didn't go to cook for Yan Jibai today, and she made dinner, and everyone ate it together. When Lu Yu got home, he braised the pheasant again and stewed another fish.

There are fish without tofu, and when eating, Yan Xiding said that he wanted to eat tofu, and asked Lu Yu when he would make a little more.

Lu Yu made tofu twice in a year, and now he doesn't miss the taste of tofu much, but when he heard Yan Xiding mention this, he suddenly remembered moldy tofu and asked others: "In Jinhua City before, was there moldy tofu for sale?" ”

Yan Xi'an said: "Yes, but it is not delicious. ”

Yan Xiding said: "It's delicious, I like it." He turned his head and asked Lu Yu: "Brother Da Yu, do you know how to make moldy tofu?" Let's do it tomorrow. ”

"You have to finish planting the seedlings, it takes a lot of time to make moldy tofu." As the name suggests, "moldy tofu" is to put moldy tofu, and it will take at least more than a month. Lu Yu's family doesn't have much rice and corn left, but there are a lot of beans, and no matter how much tofu you make, it's enough.

"Moldy tofu is good, and it would be even better if there was chili paste." Mrs. Yan said: "There are no red peppers in the yard, so I think it is better to wait for a while to have red peppers and then grind tofu." ”

Lu Yu felt that if the moldy tofu lacked spicy and fresh chili paste to mix, the taste would indeed be much worse, so he said: "Then wait for a month, let's grind the tofu again and make moldy tofu." ”

Yan Xiding was a little disappointed, and said, "Then can you get anything else delicious?" ”

Yan Jibai glanced at his son and said: "The wind and rain have been smooth in the past two years, but there are still many people who have no food to eat. ”

"It's not bad, it's just that I'm a little tired of eating vegetables from the vegetable garden every day."

Lan Shaofang picked up a piece of chicken, stared at it a few times, stuffed it into her mouth again, chewed it a few times, and then said, "The chicken is delicious, it's still hot." "This girl seems to be very satisfied after eating cold raw meat for I don't know how many years, and she can eat hot cooked meat.

Lu Yu said with a smile: "It's a pity that I will only get some ordinary home-cooked food, otherwise in two days, let's go to the city restaurant for a meal together?" ”

Yan Xiding shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm just talking about it." ”

Yan Xi'an said: "Those rice shops in the city, except for stone potato flour, there is nothing to eat. Besides, uncle's craftsmanship is getting better and better, aren't these dishes delicious? ”

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Let's go hunting in two days, Xiding and Shaofang will both go." He remembered that Lu Ming's daughter-in-law estimated that she would give birth in another month or two, and she had to get them some meat to eat.

Hearing Lu Yu say that he could go up the mountain to hunt together, Lan Shaofang became happy and said happily: "Hunting?" I can help, I can hunt wild boars and goats, and I know where to look. ”

Yan Xiding muttered: "You are a wild man, of course you can fight." "This guy is getting bolder and bolder in front of Lan Shaofang.

Lu Yu said: "Shao Fang, you can't help, there are also Lao Gao and Lu Di who are hunting together." ”

Lan Shaofang didn't understand and asked, "Why can't I help?" I really know how to hunt! ”

"I know that you can hunt, just because you are too powerful, Uncle is afraid that it will scare Uncle Gao and Uncle Lu Di." Yan Xi'an can now deal with a wild boar alone, but she has never made a move, because she is afraid that she will surprise Lao Gao and Lu Di.

Lan Shaofang still didn't understand why she couldn't help, but she was obedient, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go play together." After eating, she asked, "Then shall we go the day after tomorrow?" ”

"The day after tomorrow is not good, tomorrow I will plant the seedlings, and the day after tomorrow I have to go and fertilize the field." In the vegetable garden in the yard, there was almost no ash manure and manure, and it was all up to Lu Yu to quietly puff and supply the vegetables. And the field is not good, Lu Yu shush is limited after all, so the "precious" fertilizers such as firewood and sheep manure can only be left in the field.

The next day before evening, the seedlings were planted, and the four of Lu Yu washed their hands and feet and put on their shoes and went home, and saw Fang Daping sitting at the door of his house.

Fang Daping had something to do, he told Lu Yu that there was a new town guard in the town.

Lu Yu was slightly surprised, and a little puzzled, and asked Fang Daping: "I'm here, I'm here, why did you come to tell me?" ”

"Well, the new town guard said he was coming to visit you." Fang Daping glanced at Lu Yu carefully and asked him, "Why do you have water on your body?" Caught a fish? ”

"Yes, catch fish, there will be fish in the mountains." Lu Yu couldn't think of any other reason, so he casually said perfunctorily, and asked again: "What are you doing when you visit me?" I'm not a big deal. ”

"Hehe, you're not a big guy yet." Fang Daping said with a smile: "What are the guards doing here, I don't know, Da Yu, if you are okay tomorrow, you will wait at home." ”

Lu Yu hesitated, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait at home." Village Chief, come with you tomorrow. Although I don't know what the new town guard is looking for, since the other party is coming, it is not easy for him to "hide" out, and he just needs to see what kind of person is coming.

"I'll come too." Fang Daping seemed to be quite happy, and said with a smile: "Da Yu, you are really good, the town guard just came to our town today, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Lu Yu smiled.

After Fang Daping went back, Lu Yu asked Yan Xiding to call his father over for dinner, the new town guard was coming, and Lu Yu had to discuss with Yan Jibai.

As soon as Yan Jibai came over, Lu Yu said to him: "Fang Daping told me just now that the new town guard is here, and he will come to my house tomorrow." ”

Yan Jibai nodded and said, "If I were him, I would come here first." ”

"Hehe, the one surnamed Zhao last time also came early."

"I hope this one is different from the last one." After a pause, he said, "So, there is a new county order in the county." ”

"It should be." Lu Yu said: "Then Uncle will come back tomorrow, let's see what kind of person this new town guard is." ”
