Chapter 122: The Society of Human Feelings
This rain is neither heavy nor small, just right for catching toads.
Xu Shiyan and Sun Xiaofeng arrived near the Trough River at half past seven, and the two of them didn't have to go far, they just found a place on the bank of the river to go back and forth, and they grabbed the toad when they jumped up.
It wasn't just the two of them who came out to catch the toad, everyone didn't talk when they met, they each caught each other, and they didn't interfere with each other.
This catch was in the middle of the night, and it wasn't until more than two o'clock in the second half of the night that the rain was getting smaller and smaller, and the toads were almost up, so Xu Shiyan and Sun Xiaofeng went back.
It was almost four o'clock when Xu Shiyan got home, and it happened that the child was peeing, and Zhou Guilan got up to change the child's diaper.
"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"
Hearing movement in the outhouse, Zhou Guilan hurriedly came out to check.
"Why did you come back at this time? Is this a toad that was caught all night? Quickly take off your raincoat and go back to the house to sleep. ”
Xu Shiyan first threw the bag in his hand to the corner, and the toad in the bag made a croaking sound.
"This stubble of toads is thick, you don't see it, it's jumping all over the ground.
We grabbed and grabbed and forgot the time, and waited for the rain toad to be gone, only to find that it was the middle of the night, and hurriedly walked back.
We are not a big house here, and the river and river are far away. ”
"I caught a lot of them today, and there are quite a lot of mothers and children.
Didn't I dig a mound of gastrodia two days ago and come back? Get some toad stewed gastrodia for Eiko to eat.
Leave some mother's hugs, I will go to Director Guo of the Forestry Bureau during the day, don't care if other people are rare or not, send something meaning.
Also, I also took some away for the sixth child and gave it to her master. The sixth apprentice is there, and they teach him very carefully, and it is our intention to send something to him. ”
Humane society, this is the necessary communication, especially in the Northeast, without human affection, you can't do anything.
Xu Shiyan knows this truth very well, so no matter where he is, he pays special attention to maintaining human relationships, and it is really useful when it is critical.
"Well, okay, you can do whatever you say, anyway, we eat at home, whatever a mother holds a male dog, it's okay."
Zhou Guilan is so old and still doesn't understand this? Her son worked hard all night, and he did all the serious things, she could understand.
My own family, some can eat, and gifts must be given well.
Locals call female forest frogs female cuddles and males male dogs.
Actually, it should be called a female leopard, because the female forest frog has a yellow belly and a little flower, like a leopard.
However, this leopard is difficult to write, and many people write it as a hug with things, and when they come and go, they become mother hugs.
There is toad oil in the belly in the autumn and seeds in the spring, and they are all relatively large, so most people love to eat the mother's hug.
The male dog has nothing in his belly, and he is also small.
Gifts, that must be good, eat at home, it's a taste, anyway.
Xu Shiyan worked all night without sleeping, and he was already too sleepy to stand it at this time.
After chatting with Zhou Guilan for a few words, the cool air on her body dissipated, and she pushed the door into the east house.
Su Anying had already fed her son for burping, and when she saw Xu Shiyan coming back, she hurriedly pointed to the futon on the kang and signaled Xu Shiyan to go to bed quickly.
Xu Shiyan didn't have the heart to look at the child at this time, for fear of making the kid cry, so he took off his shoes and got into the quilt and fell asleep quickly.
After a night of rain, the land was soaked, and the ground was wet and sticky, so naturally I couldn't work.
Xu Shiyan slept until more than eight o'clock before waking up, ate casually, picked out thirty eldest mothers and packed them in a fine net bag, and carried them to Guo Shouye.
With Guo Shouye's identity, there must be a lot of gifts, and he received three toads early this morning.
Even so, Guo Shouye was still very happy to see Xu Shiyan coming.
Sometimes people get along like this, they don't care how expensive things are, what they care about is their hearts, and they can think of each other with good things, which is interesting enough.
"Gee, this must have been caught in the rain last night, right?
Look at you, you caught it and kept it for yourself, didn't your brother and daughter-in-law give birth? Stew some to make up for my brother and daughter-in-law, this is still thinking about me, how bad? ”
Guo Shouye had a kind smile on his chubby face, and happily accepted the toad.
"That, I didn't go to see my little nephew during my brother-in-law's confinement, there are a few tickets here, I guess you can use them."
Guo Shouye has nothing else here, but there are many tickets, so he took a stack and handed it to Xu Shiyan.
"Brother, I didn't mean to come here, I just came to see Brother Guo.
It's been too busy for a while, I really don't have time to come over, so I finally stopped working in the rain and came to see Brother Guo. ”
Xu Shiyan hurriedly waved his hand, and he sent some toads, where are you embarrassed to ask for any tickets?
If you change that heart, you can't think that he is just trying to be cheap?
"Look at you, what are you polite to your brother? I don't have anything else here, is this thing missing?
Take it, there seems to be a meat ticket or something, go buy some meat and make up for my brother and daughter-in-law. ”
Guo Shouye was unhappy when he saw that Xu Shiyan didn't accept it, his face sank, and he put the ticket in front of Xu Shiyan.
Well, it's not okay if you don't take it.
"Then I'll thank Brother Guo, I have taken advantage of Brother Guo this year." Xu Shiyan put away the ticket with a smile.
Guo Shouye saw that Xu Shiyan had accepted the meat ticket, and his face looked better.
"That's right, what are we talking about outside the world? In the future, if you lack anything, come to me.
I don't have anything else, but I can still get a ticket. ”
The unit issues benefits, all of which have to go through Guo Shouye's hands, he said that as much as he wants, but he just drew out a few tickets, what is it?
In these years, there are more ticket sellers, where did those tickets come from?
Guo Shouye doesn't sell it out, it's already very good, give a few away, and it doesn't count as a fart.
Xu Shiyan chatted with Guo Shouye for a while, and then left the bureau and went straight to the grocery store.
I have a meat ticket in my hand, so why don't you hurry up and buy meat? After waiting in line for a while, it was finally his turn, and there was just a small strip of pork belly left.
"Comrade, give me all this pork belly, as well as those pig's trotters and big bones, I bought them all."
Tickets are required for meat, not for trotters and large bones.
At this time, the shaved meat is very clean, and there is not much meat on the big bones, and most people don't like to buy it.
With money, who doesn't want to buy some meat, why buy bones?
The same is true for pig's trotters, except for the New Year, or when there is a woman in the family who gives birth to a child and milk, there are not many people who buy it at the rest of the time.
The master who buys meat doesn't care about those, as long as he gives him tickets and money, whoever buys it is the same.
So he sold the pork belly, as well as two pig's trotters and a bunch of big bones to Xu Shiyan.
Xu Shiyan carried the net bag and went home beautifully.
Before he could enter the house, he heard a lot of people talking in the house.
When I pushed the door into the east room, I saw that it was my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law.
"Dad, mother, when did you arrive? You see, I knew I'd pick you up at the station. ”
"Isn't it seven days since Eiko gave birth? We, who are grandmothers and grandfathers, have to come and see the children.
I don't need you to pick it up, today is the commune has something to do to Fusong, and we came from Fusong by big guest. ”
Su Weizhong received the news and learned that Su Anying had given birth to a son, so he has been thinking about coming to see Huanxi.
finally waited for seven days, and quickly brought his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law here.
