In this era, there were no computers, no mobile phones, not even televisions, and there was little entertainment.

The countryman was as tired as a dog after a day's work, and of course he went to bed early with nothing important.

For although the night is not yet deep, it is already quiet.

Liu Houxing drank a little more wine, he was already a little confused, and when he saw that his ancestors and grandchildren were still sticky, he was a little impatient: "Old woman, Xinyu said to let Xinju accompany you, you just let Xinju accompany you, what is slimy!" ”

Liu Qingsong also drank wine, he was still young in the end, not only did he not feel sleepy, but when he heard that Liu Xinyu was going to catch the yellow eel, he was even more interested: "Mom, you accompany Dad to go back and rest early, Xinyu They want to catch the yellow eel, I will accompany them." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the fourth child who was already asleep to Wang Sanmei.

Wang Sanmei glared at Liu Qingsong a little unhappily, and it was not good to disobey him in front of her in-laws and children, so she had to reach out and hug the fourth child, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Don't come back too late, you have to go to the ground tomorrow!" ”

"Got it, got it!" Liu Qingsong patted Wang Sanmei: "If we can really catch the yellow eel, we can have a good meal tomorrow!" ”

With Liu Qingsong accompanying her grandchildren, Chen Zhaodi certainly had nothing to worry about, waved her hand at Liu Xinyu, and helped Liu Houxing staggered home.

Of course, Liu Xinyu has tools to catch yellow eels at home, but they have been piled up in the utility room for a long time.

"Can these tools still be used, my brother really taught you, you really know how to catch them?" Watching Liu Xinyu turn the tools out of the pile of debris, Liu Qingsong was still a little suspicious.

Faced with Liu Qingsong's questioning, Liu Xinyu just pursed her lips and smiled.

I found the tools and tried them out.

Well, it feels pretty good, and it all works!

This set of tools for catching yellow eels is relatively simple, but Liu Qingshan has transformed it based on years of experience.

Liu Xinyu has not used it herself, she said that she can catch yellow eels, but it is because she has a class schedule to inherit it.

It's been almost a year since anyone used this tool, and the last time I used it was last summer.

Although it feels like it can be used, and it is very handy, whether it can catch the yellow eel or not, Liu Xinyu can't guarantee it.

Liu Xinyu handed over the tools to Liu Qingshan to carry, and took a bamboo basket with a lid and handed it to Liu Xinjian, who insisted on coming with him.

I went into the room and found a flashlight, tried the brightness to see if it was not bad, and after thinking about it, I took two batteries from the drawer of the desk.

"Let's go, if you can catch each other's yellow eels, just try it!" Liu Xinyu walked out.

"Wait, it's hot, there's no way there will be snakes anywhere, everybody has to carry a stick. And there are four of us, and it's not okay to just bring a flashlight. Liu Qingsong hurriedly called out to Liu Xinyu.

Liu Xinyu touched her forehead embarrassedly, she had too little experience in the countryside, and she was really not thoughtful.

There are some wooden sticks in the utility room, which are not long or short, and they are just right in hand.

As for the lighting tools, it seems that they are also available in the utility room.

When Liu Qingshan was still there, he put some torches in the utility room, Liu Xinyu didn't care about these before, and when she arrived at the destination just now, she didn't go to her heart, and when Liu Qingsong reminded her like this, she understood the purpose of the torches.

By the way, the iron bucket in the corner of the utility room should be filled with kerosene.

Liu Xinyu understood what to do.

The first time she caught a yellow eel, Liu Xinyu felt a little hairy in her heart.

Whether it is Liu Xinyu or Xin Yu, of course, they have eaten yellow eel, but they have never caught yellow eel.

Even if you have tools in your hands, you don't grab them directly, and you still get goosebumps when you look at the yellow eel that is writhing like a snake.

With a shake of his hand, the yellow eel caught on the tool fell back into the paddy field, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye after twisting or two, so anxious that Liu Xinjian screamed.

Liu Xinyu felt that it was really difficult to overcome the obstacles in her heart, so she stuffed the tool in her hand into Liu Xinjian's hand: "What is it called, you can come!" ”

"I'll come, I'll come, you come and get the torch." Liu Xinyu's action of clamping the yellow eel just now, Liu Xinjian felt that there was nothing difficult, took the tool handed over by Liu Xinyu, and handed the torch in his hand to Liu Xinyu.

There are two sets of tools brought today, after seeing Liu Xinyu's demonstration, Liu Qingsong and Liu Xinjian feel that it should be easier to catch yellow eels in this way, so they simply divided the soldiers into two ways and four people into two groups.

Liu Xinyu and Liu Xinjian are in a group, and Liu Qingsong and Liu Xinju are in a group.

Of course, for the sake of safety, the two groups did not separate too far and agreed to operate in two adjacent paddy fields.

Perhaps in this era, small business could not be done, so few people caught yellow eels, and the yellow eels in this paddy field are still easy to find.

After separating from Liu Qingsong, just a few steps away, a small yellow eel appeared in Liu Xinyu's torch.

Liu Xinjian stretched out the tool to the yellow eel, but unfortunately the action was too big, and the tool was frightened away before it touched the yellow eel.

After losing the first battle, Liu Xinjian was so angry that he shook his hand fiercely and almost threw out the tools in his hand.

It looks easy to clip yellow eel, but it is not easy to really get it.

"The yellow eel is not so easy to catch, the yellow eel is very alert and slippery, if you want to catch it, you must not only shoot quickly, but also grasp the angle." Liu Xinyu is not really only sixteen years old, of course, he will not make fun of Liu Xinjian because of his failure, but guide him in a whisper.

The yellow eel in this field is really easy to catch, and after walking a few steps forward, I saw another yellow eel under the torch.

This time, Liu Xinjian did not let himself down, he shot quickly, and Huang Eel was caught!

"Haha, I got it!" Liu Xinjian shouted excitedly, but it was only a blink of an eye, "Ahhhh ”

Seeing Liu Xinjian's annoyed appearance of beating his chest and stomping his feet, Liu Xinyu couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

Although Liu Xinyu didn't mean to laugh, Liu Xinjian felt a little ashamed, and turned around and gave Liu Xinyu a big look.

At this moment, Liu Xinju's cheers came from the other side, and Liu Qing loosened.

Although it was followed by a sigh of "oops", it still aroused Liu Xinjian's competitiveness.

The successful grasp just now made Liu Xinjian feel that he would soon be able to catch the second one, and he would definitely put the yellow eel into the basket.

Cheers and sighs of chagrin followed, and of course the cheers prevailed.

An hour later, considering that he would have to go to work tomorrow and that the torches were almost burned out, although he was still unsatisfied, Liu Qingsong still announced that he would "call it a day".

When they got home, they poured the yellow eels from the two small bamboo baskets into the big bamboo baskets, and all four of them had happy smiles on their faces.

There are more than 30 yellow eels of all sizes, not to mention five or six catties, full of a sense of achievement.

Liu Qingsong poured the yellow eel into the water tank and raised it, urging Liu Xinyu and Liu Xinju to wash and sleep quickly, and took Liu Xinjian home with him.

It's really the dead of night!
