It is said that Zeng Ruixiang took Zifu Zilu to catch the soil frog, Ziqing waited at home and was not anxious, and I don't know how long I waited, I finally heard the sound of talking outside, Zeng Ruixiang said that it was dark and I didn't know when I would come back and lock the door of the courtyard with a lock, this time I heard the sound of talking, Ziqing hurriedly ran out, looking at their excited looks, they should gain a lot.

"Sister, I'll let you eat enough tomorrow. You will open it up and eat hard, and your brother will catch it for you every day. Zifu's face was proud.

"Big brother, it seems that I caught a lot, sister, you have to love to eat, and the second brother will catch it for you tomorrow." Zilu was unwilling to be robbed of his credit, and added.

Zifu smiled and pushed Zilu.

Ziqing took their bamboo basket, which was quite heavy, "Don't open it, if you run out, it's easy to attract snakes." Zeng Ruixiang hurriedly instructed. Zifu hurriedly took it and put it into the stove room.

Early the next morning, Zeng Ruixiang was going to send watermelons to the old man again, and now that it was hot, he would send a watermelon to the old man every once in a while. This time, Zeng Ruixiang said that he would take some soil frogs and let the old man taste them, and Ziqing would go with him, so he would bring a watermelon to the Xiao family.

When she arrived at the old house, Ziqing learned that her second aunt had never returned to her mother-in-law's house, and her second aunt had gone back by himself. It turned out that Xia Shui was busy, and Zhou Tianqing was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of Xia Yu, so he simply asked her to take care of her here. The last time I came to Ziqing's house, Shen also brought a basket of potatoes to Xia Yu, and told me how to cut the sprouts, this thing is not only high-yield and easy to take care of, but also drought-resistant, of course, I didn't forget to tell you that you can't eat it if it sprouts. It is estimated that Zhou Tianqing will also go back and plant it quickly.

The old man was really happy to see the earth frog, so he asked Tian to fry it with a lot of chili peppers, and then sat down with his son to ask about some family affairs. Seeing this, Ziqing hugged the watermelon and wanted to go to the back room, thinking that she could finally hold a watermelon, and another year had passed. At this time, I heard Qiu Yu ask, "Ziqing, where do you want to take the melon?" ”

"Aunt in the back, my mother said that I haven't sent it this year."

"It's very expensive, don't give it away, keep it for us to eat, it's too hot." Qiu Yu said.

"That's not good, just give it this time."

"Forget it, forget it, you haven't heard what I say anyway, just send it if you want to." Qiu Yu was impatient.

"You have taught you badly with good children, why are you not as good as a child, your aunt is good to you." The old man was not happy to hear it, it was his own sister's house.

Ziqing hurriedly left, but unfortunately Xiushui was not there, saying that she had entered the city, Ziqing said a few words to her aunt and put down the watermelon and left.

Back in the front room, I heard Tian say that maybe the four mao of the Chunyu family are going to be treated when they are one year old, but in fact, they just want to take the opportunity to receive a gift? Also please? Last year, he had already received three gifts for one meal, and when he went to his house last year, Ziqing saw that there were not many people in the village, and this time it is estimated that it is his grandfather and grandmother and his own family, and the eldest father will not talk to them, so he will definitely not be able to go. Ziqing was extremely resentful, and wanted to say nothing this time.

Ziqing went to Zhou's with Shen some time ago, and sent a basket of eggs, Zhou's legs were much better, and he could walk on crutches, Zeng Ruiqing always smiled and called her "crutches, crutches", Zhou said that she didn't plan to go home when her legs were better, anyway, her brother always sent food or something, and sent some vegetables and vegetables by the way, and her family didn't spend a few in addition to rent, and the chickens at home were also sent to her, and they were raised in the yard. After serving my in-laws for many years, I can finally live a small life now, and of course I want to be together as a family.

When they got home, Shen killed the earth frogs and waited for them to go back to the pot, Ziqing said to put more chili peppers. This meal, Ziqing was so addicted to eating, so spicy that he kept drinking water and kept running his nose, and he also had a stinky sweat, and he ate a full pot, Zeng Ruixiang said, and he would catch it again at night.

When she woke up from a nap at noon, Zilu slipped over and said that she would take her to catch loaches, "Qing'er, my mother didn't let you go last night, and the second brother knew that you wanted to go, so I took you there during the day, and now there are more loaches." ”

Ziqing hurriedly got up and found old clothes, but who knew that the action was too big, which alarmed Zifu, and the three of them sneaked out and came to their own paddy field, and they had not yet planted late rice seedlings.

Zilu found a place where the soil was very wet but there was not much water, and turned the soil out with his hands, there were really loaches, Zilu held them with both hands, and the loaches were sent into the small bamboo basket, Zifu's movements were slightly inferior to Zilu, and occasionally loaches slipped from between his fingers.

Seeing this, Ziqing was also eager to try, took off her shoes and went to the ground, the loach can always be seen, but the slippery is that she can't catch it, the more she can't catch it, the more she wants to catch it, after a while, Ziqing always feels that the soles of her feet are a little itchy, and she raises her feet to scratch it, and when she looks, it is a big black leech that sucks herself tightly, Ziqing screams in fright, sits in the mud, and cries.

"Where? Where are the leeches" Zifu and Zilu hurriedly ran over and asked, Ziqing pointed to her left foot, Zilu grabbed her foot and slapped it, and after a while, I saw that the leech fell, Zifu carried Ziqing to the ridge, Ziqing was still choking. There is a mental obstacle now, and Ziqing will never go to the paddy field again.

Back at home, Shen saw Ziqing's embarrassed appearance, bluffed, and hurriedly asked what was wrong, Ziqing cried for a long time, which would be a little embarrassed to say that he was scared to cry by a leech, Zifu explained.

"You deserve it, it's not that you won't be allowed to go, you have to steal it out, next time I see if you dare?" After Shen finished speaking, he went to the clean room to boil water and let Ziqing take a bath. No matter how hot the day is, Shen doesn't take cold showers, and he doesn't let Ziqing wash. But when Shen told Zeng Ruixiang about it afterwards, Zeng Ruixiang mentioned: "In the end, she is still a child, a leech can be scared to cry, I used to see her do things from time to time with a little adult calmness, I was still a little worried, thinking that a pox rash changed the child's heart, and it is not a good thing for a young man to be too old after all." ”

Ziqing naturally didn't know that a leech actually made her father's heart feel a lot more at ease, and at this time she was being ridiculed by Zifu and Zilu, "Little Si, you didn't see your sister's embarrassment just now, and you sat in the field crying as soon as you sat in the field, haha, it's so funny, or I helped her get the leech down." Zilu laughed while learning, avoiding Ziqing's pursuit.

"Yes, your sister's legs are weak, or I picked them up, not only that, didn't you see the way your mother looked at her, her clothes were full of muddy water, and her hair was too, and even her face couldn't tell which was muddy water and which was tear stains, wasn't it just a leech? Look scares you. Zifu was on the side to help.

Zishou laughed when he heard this, and complained that they didn't take him there.

The loach ham and winter melon soup for dinner Ziqing didn't drink less, it was too fresh, Shen sliced the ham into a thin slice, red and transparent, rolled into his mouth and melted, Shen also smiled and said, how many years have not eaten such a good ham, Zeng Ruixiang said that he will learn to marinate next time.

He said: "This is not as good as bacon, it is the most laborious, a little water can not be touched, and it cannot be bumped, otherwise, it is most prone to maggots." ”

"Grandma, are you still letting people eat it?" When Ziqing thought of that thing, she couldn't swallow the rice in the bowl.

In the evening, Zeng Ruixiang and the others went to catch the soil frogs, and Ziqing went to the yard to watch the fireflies, waiting while watching. After a few days like this, this night, Ziqing was sitting in the small courtyard with He's to enjoy the shade, and Shen was coaxing Zixi to sleep in the house, and Zixi was now sleeping with Zishou in the first room of the east house.

At this time, Ziqing heard the movement of her father and them coming back, not as excited as usual, as if something bad had happened, Ziqing ran out, and saw Zeng Ruixiang coming back with Zifu on his back, Zifu's legs were full of blood, Ziqing hurriedly went to the stove room to find some rice wine, poured it into the teapot of boiling water, used cotton to add wine vapor to the mouth of the pot, made a few pieces of cotton, and had nowhere to find liquor in a hurry, so it was so, at this time Shen also came out and boiled some hot water to scrub Zifu.

Ziqing carefully cleaned Zifu's wound with cotton, the wound was ten centimeters long, it turned out that Zifu accidentally fell, fell on the porcelain piece very hard, and made such a big cut, it seems that he has to go to the doctor this big night, "If only there was a golden retriever dog's hair." Zeng Ruixiang muttered.

Shen asks what is a Golden Retriever? "It's what my aunt used to get when he was hunting, and the hemostatic effect on all kinds of wounds is very fast. It's a pity that I don't know whose hands it is now? Zeng Ruixiang was about to go to Lang Zhong after explaining, Ziqing remembered, wasn't it the golden retriever that Xiushui plucked for her last year?
