Chapter 102: Catching Loaches
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! After saying that she was going to catch loaches, An Xiuer found a bucket and hoe at home, and led the three little radish heads to run to the seedling field in the village.
The loaches in the fields in the village are all wild, and as long as they don't destroy the farmland, they can catch them at will, and even the landlord can't say anything.
Ordinary adults rarely come to catch loaches at this time, they are too busy at this time, and this loach children can also catch it, and it is really a bit overkill to send a laborer to catch it. However, An Xiu'er is idle anyway, and she is probably the only one in the village who is in the mood and free.
When she took An Rong and them over, Uncle Niu's rice had already been harvested more than half, An Xiu'er went down to the field and said hello to Uncle Niu's family, "Uncle Niu and Aunt Niu, you're still busy working, come, take a break and drink saliva first." ”
An Xiu'er thought that she was going to catch loaches in other people's fields, and she was still a little reluctant to go, so she specially brought them water, Uncle Niu's family had been working all morning, and they were thirsty, and they were not polite when they saw the water handed over by An Xiu'er, so they took it and drank it, and said, "Thank you, sister Xiu'er." ”
"Little things." After they had drunk for a while, she took the kettle again, and then said, "I heard that there are many loaches in your field, so I brought the children here to catch some tooth sacrifices." ”
"Tsk, your family is still short of this money, if you want to eat loaches and go to the town to buy it, I heard that your family has paid double the salary for hiring people to build a house at this time, your man is promising, I heard that he went to work in the city again?"
Aunt Niu is fat and stocky, and her temperament is also spicy and hearty, not like Aunt Bird's Beak who specializes in passing on bad things and looking forward to bad people, when she said this, her rough face was also full of smiles, and An Xiuer also smiled:
"Who are you talking about, our family has just built a house, and now the poor are all clanging, I have no face to go back to my mother's house to live, where do I dare to be extravagant, and buy loaches, I can't bear the things in this field, unless you sell them to me, I will buy them."
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you, then you girl, you look soft and weak, your mouth is neat, my aunt can't say you, if you want to catch it, go quickly, wait until it's late, maybe a lot of people will come over." Aunt Niu said.
"Then when someone else comes, you'll have to stop me." An Xiu'er was still smiling.
"Then I can't stop it." Aunt Niu smiled and said a few words to An Xiu'er, picked up a bundle of rice, and beat it the bucket.
"This harvest in your field is good, and it looks full." An Xiu'er's eyes swept over the golden rice.
"It's average, it's better than last year, and it's an eye-opener this year." Speaking of food, Uncle Niu is not modest, this year's wind and rain are smooth, it should be a bumper year.
"Well, I hope it's going to be nice every year." An Xiu'er nodded in response, and went to a corner of the field, where An Ronghe and the eldest girl were pulling loaches with their hands.
"Auntie, I just saw a loach burrowing into here, and we're digging with our hands." An Rong and the first annunciation with An Xiu'er.
"Okay, get out of the way, I'll come." An Xiu'er put the hoe down, and the hoe went down, hooking up the lump of dirt, An Ronghe stretched out his hands to find in the mud, and he seemed to have touched something in his hands.
Seeing that his movements stopped, everyone looked at his face carefully, An Ronghe didn't sell it anymore, he pulled his hand out of the mud, raised the struggling loach and said to everyone: "I caught it!" ”
"Here, put it in a bucket." The big girl handed over the bucket in time.
"Okay, let's go on, I'll dig and dig out the loaches, and you'll pick them up in the bucket right away, you know?" An Xiu'er commanded.
"Yes." The three of them nodded in unison, and then watched An Xiu'er digging the field.
Uncle Niu's field is really a lot of loaches, almost every time An Xiu'er hoes go down, she will dig up one or two loaches, as soon as they come out, they will immediately drill into the soil, this thing is not slippery, but there are three little guys to help catch them, they can't escape.
An Xiu'er saw so many loaches, and the hoe was also very hard, and after about half an hour, there were already a lot of loaches in their small buckets, which was enough for the whole family to eat a beautiful meal.
"Alright, the sun is on, let's go back." An Xiuer said.
But the three little ones shook their heads together and said, "Auntie, there are still so many loaches that haven't been caught, let's catch them for a while." ”
"Okay then." An Xiu'er doted on her three nephews and nieces very much, and when she heard their pleading, she continued to dig in the field again, but her movements slowed down significantly.
She rarely does farm work, but she just waved her hoe and felt that her hands were sore.
Seeing An Xiu'er's movements a little slow, the eldest girl raised her head and said, "Auntie, can you let me dig with a hoe for a while?" ”
The eldest girl looked very expectant, how could An Xiu'er bear to refuse, and immediately agreed: "Of course you can." As he spoke, he handed the hoe in his hand to the eldest girl, and sat on the ridge on the side to rest.
Sitting on the ridge, I suddenly found that there was a leech attached to the calf to suck her own blood, An Xiuer calmly slapped it gently on the calf, and soon, the leech shrank into a ball and fell from her leg, she brought a stone and hammered the leech to death, I hate the leech the most.
looked up at the big girl digging loaches again, not to mention, although she was young, she actually worked more than An Xiu'er, wielding this hoe, it was decent, An Xiu'er saw that the three of them were having fun, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she didn't say anything.
It wasn't until she was sweating that she said out: "You three be careful, there are leeches in the field, and they bit me just now." ”
"There's a leech?" The three children were frightened and almost didn't fall into the field, but although they didn't fall, they still ran away from the field, and no one even took the bucket and hoe, and the three of them climbed to the ridge, saw An Xiu'er, and asked, "Auntie, where is the leech that bit you?" Got into your flesh? ”
"Here." An Xiu'er pointed to the corpse of a leech that she had smashed to death on the ridge.
"Gross." The leech was already ugly, but after it died, it was even more disgusting, and the three of them stayed away from the leech.
The eldest girl said, "Auntie, can you help us go to the field and bring the things?" We don't want to catch loaches anymore today. ”
Thinking of waiting to touch the field, I thought I had caught a loach, but it turned out to be a big leech, which would be embarrassing.
"Okay, then let's go back to Dad early, I still have to cook, and Ronghe also has to do homework, so you can go home and help with the housework."
An Xiu'er got up and walked into the rice field, in front of the children, she always behaved like a warrior, as if she was not afraid of anything.
Just brought the bucket and hoe, the eldest girl and An Ronghe rushed to carry it, and the second girl had nothing to mention, pouting, and was a little unhappy.
However, the eldest girl is very eldest sister, seeing that her sister is a little unhappy, she let her carry the hoe in her hand, and the second girl took the hoe, and then a smile appeared on her face.
Well, An Xiu'er rarely sees anyone rushing to work, and even helping to get some farm tools, these children feel that it is a very happy thing.
"Let's go to the river and wash our feet before we go home." Ahn Xiu'er suggested.
In addition to the Qingshui River, which was more abundant that day, there was also a small river, this small river should be a small stream, to be precise, the water in it was not deep, just over the calf, and it was super convenient to wash your hands and feet.
The cold water, An Xiu'er felt very comfortable on her feet, and the four of them washed their hands and feet with a smile, put on their shoes, and walked home.
………………
Min Yue County, Zhang's family.
The gray marble floor is light-recognizable, the carved stone pillars, and the gray tones give people a solemn feeling. At this moment, the hall, which has always been solemn and solemn, is actually noisy, and the sound of quarrels is like a busy city.
The Zhang family's current quarrel is precisely because of the chaos of the royal family of the Great Qi State, and their current quarrel is because of whether to support a certain prince to seize the throne.
The Zhang family and some radicals expressed support, while some traditionalists were conservative and believed that the Zhang family should remain neutral.
Now the monarch of the Great Qi State is old, at the time of the alternation of power, the world is chaotic, when the ancestor of Qi fought the world, in order to consolidate the country, he promised all kinds of favorable conditions of the major families, after several generations of emperors weakened, but the family still stands.
Especially in a place like Xuzhou, which is far away from the capital, the emperor can't control it, and the family has a transcendent status.
This Xuzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the beauty of the people is abundant, especially famous for the abundance of silk, porcelain, all kinds of handicrafts prevail, jade, tourmaline, gold, silver and jade, all kinds of delicate things are gathered here, the water system here is developed, the transportation is convenient, the prosperity is not much worse than the capital.
There are three major counties in Xuzhou, in addition to Jiangyun County and Sihua County, the other is Minyue County.
This Jiangyun County is rich in porcelain, Sihua County is still famous for all kinds of silk fabrics, and this Minyue County is a collection of the best of the two, and is famous for all kinds of jade jewelry.
The Zhang family of Minyue County, in Minyue County, is almost the emperor here, they operate most of the shops in Minyue County, and the main business is silk porcelain and various jade jewelry.
When it comes to jade, we have to talk about the raw stone of jade, Minyue County has a team of guards, every year the head of the Zhang family will lead people to Myanmar and Tubo to buy all kinds of rough stones, if you buy well, the rough stone is cut out of all kinds of jade, professional craftsmen will be able to use them to make a variety of exquisite jewelry pendants, if you buy badly, cut out of the quality of the jade is not good, it is naturally difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, therefore, the quality of buying the rough stone, directly affects the quality of the Zhang family's business.
The previous generation of the Zhang family died early, this generation of the family was originally the eldest son of the Zhang family, he was resolute, disciplined, and can be a stone, under his leadership, the Zhang family finally survived the chaos of the death of the previous family, and regained a foothold in this county.
However, the good times did not last long, once the eldest son of the Zhang family was secretly injured on the way to Tubo, and injured his eyes, and since then there is no level of Kanshi, but he is still tenacious, and he has not been decadent because of this, but with his own martial arts, he has become the head of the family's guard, and on the way to buy the original stone, protect the safety of other Kanshi masters.
But for some reason, one day, his whereabouts were suddenly unknown, and the next day, Mrs. Zhang of the Zhang family came forward to announce that the Zhang family would be the family and would be inherited by his younger brother.
Who doesn't know, the second son of the Zhang family is originally a gentleman, who only knows sleeping flowers and willows all day long, can write a sour poem, and is not good at business, but who doesn't love rights? Under his leadership, the Zhang family is getting worse day by day.
In a flash, it has been more than two years since the disappearance of the Zhang family, and people have almost forgotten about the Zhang family, but I heard that when the Zhang family's family is now mixed with the royal family, they secretly said that the Zhang family is probably going to be finished.
However, there are always some people who think they have a long-term view, and they want to exchange their achievements for greater wealth and wealth.
At this moment, Zhang Zhenan was sitting at the end of the crowd, with a long-lost black veil, and the eyes under his veil were like ancient wells.
Seeing that the quarrel in this council hall was louder, Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting at the top, was dressed in a blue five-blessing gown, and put the teacup on the table, "Enough, you all quit, come and tell me after arguing a charter." ”
When everyone heard this, they raised their heads, and saw that Old Madam Zhang's face was full of anger, and they were silent one by one, and they obediently retreated, and they still maintained the minimum respect for this old lady.
"Zhen'an, Zhenping, you two stay." Old Madam Zhang said again, her tone softened slightly.
Zhang Zhen'an took the step and retracted, looked at his mother sitting on the top indifferently, and laughed at himself in his heart.
Mrs. Zhang also asked him in the same tone as before: "Zhen'an, what do you think of this incident?" ”
"If I go back to my mother, I'm here to see you, not to see things." Zhang Zhenan said lightly.
Old Madam Zhang couldn't help but get angry when she heard this, and slapped the table heavily, "When do you want to be stubborn!" ”
"Yes, big brother, don't make your mother angry." Zhang Zhenping helped on the side.
Zhang Zhenan glanced at him in a blink of an eye, he was dressed in a brocade robe, his body was as long as jade, but he was born with a good appearance.
Zhang Zhenping saw Zhang Zhen'an's view, although it was a faint veil of eyes, but he had his own momentum, not angry and self-assured, he was inexplicably afraid, and couldn't help but look down at himself to see if he was dressed inappropriately, seeing that there was none, he couldn't help but feel two points of annoyance in his heart, who did he think, he was now the head of the Zhang family, he would be afraid of him!
was about to speak, but heard Zhang Zhenan's indifferent tone sound: "Your steps are vain, your eyelids are blue, you should be overindulgent." ”
