Chapter 68: The discovery of a snail

In the three-day tomb, the three of them should have gone home, but they couldn't bear the repeated retention of the Su family, and Qin's mother thought that it would be okay to go home anyway, so let's live for a while!

One morning, after dinner, I leisurely followed the Su family brothers and sisters to the field with my brother, and it was time to pull weeds for the seedlings. Qingxi Village is very suitable for growing rice because of its pleasant climate, high soil quality, abundant water source and excellent water quality; So the whole village and the village where the Qingxi River passes through is growing rice.

"You'er, you and your cousin really want to go down to the field with us to pull weeds?" Su Jingduo looked at Qin Youran, who was walking beside him, because he had to work in the field, so he found a piece of Su Jingrou's old clothes to wear on his body, frowned slightly and asked uncertainly.

Youran is in a very good mood now, I have lived in Su's house these days, the atmosphere is really not active enough and a little stuffy, today I finally found a little thing to do, and immediately ran out to breathe.

"Well, what's wrong?" She replied with a smile.

"Uh...... Forget it, nothing. Su Jingduo originally wanted to say that it was not something that she could do as a young lady, but seeing that she was in a really good mood now, she was afraid that what she said would make her misunderstand, so it was better not to say it.

"Hey, you two hurry up, the sun will climb higher in a while, don't shout hot when you little girls do!" Su Jingtong walked fast with a few brothers, and walked to the front after a while, and did not forget to turn around and greet Youran and Jingduo, who walked in the back.

"Hmph~ Big brother looks down on people!" After Jingduo heard his greeting, she took her leisurely hand and trotted two steps, chased after her, and walked beside Su Jingrou, choking with her eldest brother.

"Heh, little girl, ......" Looking at the youngest sister's unyielding look, Su Jingtong smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, shook her head helplessly and said.

"Hmph~" Su Jingduo bent her nose, grimaced at him, and stopped paying attention to him.

Several people talked and laughed all the way, and finally came to the Su family's rice field. The Su family has a large population, and they have never been separated, they all live together, so the fields are all combined, a large piece, not to mention dozens of acres.

"So big?" Leisurely asked, with wide eyes.

It's not that she hasn't seen so many fields, and this place can be said to be a drop in the bucket compared to the fields in her family's farm; But her family's land was left by her grandfather, the largest landowner in Nancang County, and it is normal to do so; And as an ordinary farmer, although there are many people in a family, there are not so many fields, right? And it's all good ground. That's what surprised her.

"Part of it was bought by our family, and part of it was given to us by my uncle and grandfather." As the boss of this generation, Su Jingtong is very clear about the situation of his own fields. So as soon as I asked leisurely, I naturally answered.

"Uncle? Is it my grandfather? Leisurely looked at him with puzzled eyes.

"Hmm." Su Jingtong nodded and explained: "I heard my father say that there were originally a lot of your family's fields here, but when my uncle and grandfather were seriously ill, he wanted to sell all the land here in order to manage it well after his cousin took over, so that he could buy back the fields near his home." I heard that in order to buy all the land there, my uncle and grandfather also took out all the shops in the city. ”

"Yes, when we came, we only had the fields, and the shops were redeemed by the families later." Qin Haoran nodded in response.

Su Jingtong looked at everyone as if they were listening to his story, so he continued: "The next thing is that the other fields are sold, and the fields next to my family, my uncle and grandfather gave them to us, in order to manage them well, my grandfather and second grandfather discussed to divide them into a large piece, so that it is easy to manage."

"Oh-" The rest of the people all looked confused, leaving Su Jingtong speechless for a while.

"Pss

"Hehe~ Okay, okay, don't make trouble with big brother, let's hurry up and work, right?" Su Jing's soft voice sounded, giving the eldest brother who had a somewhat strict personality to play a round field.

"Yes, yes, work, work......" Several people hurriedly responded, nodding their heads and rolling up their sleeves and trouser legs towards the field.

Su Jingtong: "......"

Don't think he didn't see it, these people teamed up to tease him?! (‒́へ‒́ ╬)

Standing leisurely in the field, rolling up his sleeves and trouser legs with everyone. In the previous life, in modern times, she also did this kind of work, when she was in junior high school, in order to reduce the burden on the dean's mother, she would sneak out on Saturdays and Sundays, and go to the countryside to help people do farm work to make money; Why not get a part-time job in the city? Because of her young age at that time, no one in the city would hire child labor, so she had no choice but to go to the countryside where no one cared about it.

Roll up the trouser leg to reveal a small white ankle. Although this era is relatively open, women can show up every day to talk about business; But after all, it is still ancient, and some conservative things still exist, such as the innocence of women.

It is harmless to show a small ankle and wrist a little, but if you show too much or show your foot, it is too big. So the few of them just rolled up the trouser leg that reached the top of their feet slightly, so that they wouldn't trip over the trouser leg after stepping on it after they got to the rice field.

"Alright, let's go down!" Su Jingtong gave orders and said, "Cousin Ran, the first time you go to the ground, you must be careful, don't slip and fall." Take your time, don't rush. ”

"Well, good! Thanks for the reminder, cousin. Qin Haoran nodded in response.

After explaining, Su Jingtong led everyone into the field. The paddy fields here are planted in two crops, sown in February and harvested in early June. The second season is sown at the end of June and harvested at the end of October and early November. Now it's the first crop, and the seedlings have grown to knee height.

At the beginning, Youran didn't show that he knew how to weed, and pretended to follow Qin Haoran to listen to the teachings of the Su family brothers and sisters, and put on a look of gradually learning.

Don't look at her brother's appearance as a son on weekdays, when he goes to the field to do farm work, he still has a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu as a crop baby. Looking at him bending over to weed there seriously, he suddenly had a sense of the vicissitudes of 'my baby has just grown up', what's going on?

Shaking his head, he got rid of that unrealistic nonsense, and bent down to continue his efforts.

She was pulling to the edge of the ridge at this time, and suddenly, her eyes were drawn to a small stone in the water by the ridge. Walked leisurely, bent down and reached out to pick it up, and washed it with the water in the field; Only then did it become clear that it was not a small stone, but a snail with a small head.

"So there's this ...... here," leisurely muttered as he watched with it in his hand.

"That's a snail, and there are a lot of them on the ridges here, and there are them every now and then. I heard my father say that having this growth means that the water quality is good. Su Jingrou was pulling out to the vicinity of Youran, standing up straight and preparing to take a break, when she saw Youran's things watching there. Thinking she didn't know what it was, he introduced her out loud.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So it's called a snail here? Leisurely turned his head to look at Su Jingrou and asked in surprise.

"Huh? Is there any other way to call it? Su Jingrou slowly moved over in the rice field, looking at the things in her hand with Youran.

"It's almost, it's called a snail, and there are also snails. You can still eat this! He responded to her with a leisurely smile.

"Really?!" Su Jingrou was a little surprised when she heard this, she didn't expect that what they had always thought was a bug, or a kind of food?

"Hmm!" nodded with a leisurely smile, "Wait a minute, find more and make it for you to eat tomorrow." ”

"Okay......"

"Heyβ€”what are you two having fun out there for? That piece is all done? Su Jingda, who had a sunny personality, also pulled weeds near them at this time, and when she saw the two standing there chatting, she asked loudly.

Youran and Su Jingrou turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and seeing his curious look, Jingrou smiled and said, "Fourth brother, You'er just said that the snail is edible, so we are discussing whether to pick up some later?"

"Really?" After hearing this, Su Jingda also slowly waded through the water and walked towards them, picked up the snail in Youran's hand, and asked Youran in surprise, "Cousin, can you really eat it?" ”

"Well, it's delicious!" Smiled leisurely and responded: "You can fry and eat, use the newly cultivated Chaotian pepper at home, put some noodle sauce and other ingredients to fry together, it is a very good appetizer!" You can also cook and eat, stuff it, put it in soup, and make snail noodles......"

"Wow! Can you do so much? He drooled when he heard it.

"I think this morning's work is almost over, it's going to be hot in a while, why don't you call Brother Qi and them, let's catch snails together?" Su Jingrou was rare and lively, and excitedly proposed.

"Okay!" Su Jingda agreed very much with this good proposal, made his hands into a horn shape on the spot, and shouted loudly: "I'll call, eldest brother, second brother, come here-"

A few people who were far away couldn't see the situation here, and thought something was wrong? After hearing Su Jingda's loud shout, he hurriedly came to them, and asked without forgetting to ask, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”

"It's not too important, you don't rush, come slowly, don't slip and fall......" You saw the anxious expressions of several people, and hurriedly comforted.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After a few people got a leisurely response, they were able to let go of their hearts, so they slowly paid attention to their feet and walked over step by step.

Although Qin Haoran got a leisurely response, he didn't see his sister okay with his own eyes, so he was still not very relieved. So the first thing I did when I came over was to check if she was injured, and when I found that everything was normal, I put my mind at ease and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with calling us over in such a hurry?"

"Brother, you see, it's a snail. Let's catch some and go back, how about I make something to eat for you tomorrow? Leisurely invited merit to show the snail in his hand to Qin Haoran, and said to him excitedly.

Qin Yanran smiled dotingly and said, "Okay!"

Anyway, he is a sister control, and whatever his sister does, he will say yes.

The rest of the people also knew what was going on because of Su Jingrou and Su Jingda's answers.

Su Jingtong looked at the sky, it was almost noon, the sun was a little hot, and it was really time to go back. Before going out, his grandfather told him to go back when the weather was hot, don't be in a hurry, there is time.

"That's okay, just don't pull it out for now, and wait for the afternoon to be cooler. Let's catch this ...... now" for a moment forgot what you just called it.

"Snails." Su Jingduo reminded with a grin.

"Yes, snails. Let's catch the snails. ”

"Yay!"

After a group of people cheered, they all gathered at the edge of the ridge, bent down and began to catch the snails.
