Chapter 224: Joy in the River
In the early summer, the sun was just right, and Cui'er was lying under the shade of the trees by the river, talking with Lian Qingshan and the others, while watching the children laughing and playing by the lake.
Cui'er's house has been under construction for half a month, during which Lian Qingshan is busy with foreign affairs, and Cui'er is busy with her family, and they cooperate very tacitly.
In the past half a month, the old Qiantou family sent a total of four times of tea green, all in accordance with Cui'er's original requirements, picked double leaf one bud or three leaves and one bud, naturally, with the tea green, not only Qian Shanming came, but also sent two apprentice teenagers, Qian Heimu and Qian Tantou.
The two teenagers are sixteen and fifteen, and their names are very similar, both of them are black mountain boys, who go up the mountain to hunt birds on weekdays, and go down to the river to catch fish, although they eat a lot, but they can also bring some income to the family.
The reason why these two children on the tip of the old money were sent to Lianjia was that the old money head was afraid that someone would rob him of the apprentice position in the tea workshop, so he let the two children come over to occupy the seat first.
Qian Shanming and his two children are also sincere, every time it is the day to send the tea green, they will stay at Lian's house to help for two days, and then return home to pick tea for one day, and send the tea green over on the third day.
Cui'er said that she was helping with cooking, but she only did it for three days, and when the first wave of tea arrived, she left her cooking work and was busy with the matter of frying tea. Fortunately, there are Aunt Lu, Xiangmo and Sister-in-law Mu to help cook, and Er Ya Niang and their dim sum workshop people come to help dry the tea, so they can be regarded as busy.
Of course, after being busy every day, Cui'er was so tired and exhausted that she fell asleep with her head on the pillow, even spending time with the children. It's a lot less.
Even Qingshan saw that Cui'er was busy with her work, she was distressed, and she was busy helping Cui'er dry tea and stir up tea, and even the big girl and Xiaohu were a lot more sensible, and followed the adults every day. Pouting his little buttocks to help dry tea, the family is busy with the rounds.
After half a month, Cui'er suddenly felt that if this continued, her family would be exhausted, and after dealing with the new batch of tea, she hurriedly came to an emergency brake. The people who gave Yang Bricklayer and help all took a day off, and Cui'er's family went out to play with delicious food.
This is going out and having fun. When the weather is right, let your children play by the lake, barbecue meat, eat snacks and fruits, and then have a good night's sleep for a while, so that busy and nervous adults and children can relax.
So, there was the previous scene, and Cui'er's family was happily playing by the lake.
"Big girl, little tiger. Come, take a saliva! Cui'er sat on the blanket and watched the sun tan the children's little faces. Calling with a smile.
"Good!" The big girl and the little tiger were catching small fish by the lake, and when they heard Cui'er's call, they shook the water in their hands and rushed back, like two energetic calves.
Cui'er poured cold boiled water into the bowl and handed a bowl to each of the two children, watching them drink it slowly. Then he ran to the river to play, and the two little wolves followed closely behind the big girl and the little tiger. Playing with joy, Cui'er looked at it with a smile. I just don't think it's been a long time since I've seen such happy smiling faces from children.
After lying down for a while, Cui'er didn't want to rest under the big tree, walked to the edge of the lake, and looked at Xiangmo accompanying the two children, two small things squatting by the lake, with their little arms and sleeves rolled up high, and they were happily playing in the water, "What are you two doing here?" ”
"Mother, we're catching fish!" The big girl's eyes had already turned into a crescent moon with a smile, and she waved her little hand and said excitedly.
"Catching fish?" In modern times, Cui'er also caught fish when she was a child, but when she was at her grandmother's house, she followed her uncle's little brother to put steamed bun dregs in the canned bottle with a rope, and after leading the finger-long small fish in, she lifted the canned bottle, and the small fish was caught.
Suddenly recalling the good times of childhood, Cui'er also came to be interested, looking at the two "fish" that the big girl and the little tiger wanted to catch, but they were round tadpoles that were not even the size of their fingernails.
"Kid, this isn't a fish!" Cui'er suddenly cried and laughed, the story of the little tadpole looking for her mother, I believe that there is nothing that the children of her generation do not know, the tadpole is the child of the frog, and it will become a frog when it grows up, such a small fish is taken back, and when it grows legs, the children will cry, right?
And there is also an important point, in Cui'er's impression, the small tadpole of one or two millimeters is the baby of a frog, but it is enough to be a tadpole almost a centimeter long...... Could it be the toad's child?
Thinking of the toad, Rao is Cui'er felt that she was not afraid of heaven and earth, and she also had goosebumps, and was thinking about how to divert the children's attention, when she suddenly heard a sound of water next to her, the sound was not loud, but it was enough to attract the interest of everyone present.
I saw that in the puddle not far away, a black back half a foot long was exposed, looking like this, it was a black fish, Cui'er's eyes lit up, and she made a shushing gesture to the big girl and the little tiger, and quietly walked to the puddle.
In the puddle less than half a meter in size, there was a fish about a foot writhing and struggling, as if it wanted to swim out, but it didn't realize that the place where he swam into the puddle was not the same as the place where he was swimming out now, the water was very shallow, and he couldn't swim out.
Seeing this scene, Cui'er's spirit also came, and she rushed to the side of the puddle in three steps and two steps, rolled up her sleeves neatly, and scooped up a handful of mud by the river with her hands, blocking the place where the big fish had just swam into the puddle.
"Big girl, little tiger, Xiangmo, let you see what it means to catch turtles in the urn!" With a smug smile on the corner of Cui'er's mouth, she didn't care that her shoes were wet with water, and quickly scooped up a few handfuls of mud to block the puddle near the lake, and then she clapped her hands with satisfaction and went down to the big tree where Lian Qingshan was.
"Aoyama, come and help!" Cui'er said to Lian Qingshan, her expression was full of innocence and coquettishness like a little girl, and she was busy vacating two copper basins with fruits in her hands, holding them in her hands, ignoring the mud on her hands, and said happily to Lian Qingshan, "Carry the small bag and the softness, let's hurry over!" ”
Seeing Cui'er running back and forth happily, even when Qingshan didn't react to what was going on, he had already habitually followed what Cui'er said, put the small bag and softness on the blanket back into the basket, and carried it to the lake.
At this time, Cui'er was rolling up her sleeves and happily scooping the water, the big fish that was trapped just now was disturbed by Cui'er, knowing that the matter was critical, she was afraid to hide in the water and didn't dare to show her head, but the puddle was only two feet deep, where could you hide it? In desperation, he could only desperately flutter and splash countless water.
Xiaohu saw the big fish jumping desperately, as if he was about to jump back into the lake, where to do it, when the big fish was about to rush out of the puddle, his head was hot, and he pounced into the puddle all of a sudden, holding the big fish that jumped and didn't let go, regardless of the fact that his body was all wet, and the splash of water made the nearby Cui'er and Da Niu's bodies also **.
When Lian Qingshan came over, he saw such a scene, he hurriedly put the small bag and soft protection behind him, and his body was inevitably drenched with a lot of water droplets.
"Hahaha, mother, I caught a fish!" Xiaohu struggled to crawl out of the puddle, his little body was wet, a large number of water droplets flowed down from his head and clothes, and with the very happy big carp jumping in his hand, it really made people feel like they couldn't laugh or cry.
At this moment, the two little wolves, who were drenched in water, seemed to feel uncomfortable, stood on the bank of the river, grabbed the ground with their paws, and shook off the water droplets on their bodies.
The people who had just been drenched in water only felt that there was a second rainstorm attack, and they were busy hiding back, but they were still drenched, and the little tiger standing in the puddle was suddenly a little panicked by the water, and when he didn't pay attention to the fish in his hand, he broke free and fell into the water.
Xiaohu watched the fish in his hand fall, only felt wronged, and was about to grin and cry, but saw a black shadow shaking in front of him, and suddenly his body was light, and there was a flower in front of him, Xiaohu actually forgot to cry, and looked at himself in a daze How he was held in his father's arms.
At this time, Lian Qingshan, carrying the soaked Xiaohu in one hand, picked up the big fish that was held in Xiaohu's arms just now, walked out of the puddle with his slender thighs, and looked at his family members who were wet one by one, and couldn't help but shake his head gently.
"You guys, with my father's skills, how many such fish are there, Xiaohu, you are still so stupid to jump into the water, and make everyone water!" Lian Qingshan glanced at Xiaohu disapprovingly, and saw that he pursed his mouth aggrievedly, tears rolling in his eyes, and he looked pitiful.
"Manly man, don't look like this at all, come, follow me to catch a few more fish!" Even Qingshan didn't coax the child softly, put the little tiger on the ground, threw the fish in his hand into the grass, picked up a wooden stick from the side, and walked towards the lake with big strides.
Lian Qingshan grew up in this mountain since he was a child, and his skills in catching fish and birds are naturally incomparable to Cui'er, looking at Lian Qingshan's manly and tough appearance, Cui'er couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled, seeing that Xiaohu's clothes were very wet, she hurriedly brought Xiaohu over, took off his small vest and small pants, took out a towel from under the small bag and soft basket to help him dry it, and then pulled a dry dress for him to put on.
The newly cleaned up little tiger happily followed behind Lian Qingshan, and half an hour later, the family went home with five or six big fish satisfied. (To be continued)
