Thinking of the small stove that Mrs. Chen opened for her son and daughter-in-law, and then thinking of the sweet potato gruel for three meals a day, Huang Meixiang sighed, after all, she did not stop Xiao Qiulan and Yao Zhiqiang.

The children are also very pitiful, they can't eat enough and don't have enough clothes, and when they see birds, they want to eat bird meat, so let them toss and toss.

Sweet potatoes were planted in the field last year, and some small sweet potatoes that slipped through the net were turned out, and Xiao Qiulan chopped the small sweet potatoes with a sickle and sprinkled the minced sweet potato grains around the iron tongs.

Everything is ready only for the east wind, and although the long-legged birds fly away as soon as people approach, they fly back as soon as they leave.

When they saw the fresh sweet potato meat, they rushed to eat it, and as they ate it, they stepped on the iron clamp.

The greedy long-legged bird, one with its head clamped, one with its claws, and one stepped on the clamp, but reacted quickly and flew away.

Frightened, the other birds fluttered in a panic and flew into the sky.

Xiao Qiulan was overjoyed, Yao Zhiqiang hurriedly ran over, caught the one that was caught in the bird's paws and wanted to fly into the sky, and smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth.

Turning his head to look, Qiuqiu also caught the other bird whose head was clamped, like a headless fly, flapping its wings indiscriminately.

Xiao Donglan clapped her hands: "You can drink bird meat soup tonight, the fourth sister is so smart!" ”

The joyful atmosphere infected Huang Meixiang, she wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled on her face: "Tie the bird's claws and wings with straw rope and put them in a cloth bag first." ”

Yao Zhiqiang agreed, he always had a painless attitude towards this stepmother, and he couldn't hate it if he couldn't get close.

Xiao Qiulan helped her brother tie the wings of the bird, and weighed it with her hands, good guy, one is at least seven or eight taels.

The long-legged bird had a beautiful long tail, she had never seen it, and if it were in modern times, it would definitely be a first-class protected animal, but it was everywhere here.

I wanted to do more when I got two, Yao Zhiqiang said to Xiao Qiulan: "The long-legged birds are very good, and the companions have suffered a loss, they will definitely not come here again, I have to go over there to try!" ”

Following my brother's gesture, there were indeed many long-legged birds foraging over there.

When her brother put the clip and came back, Xiao Donglan said worriedly: "Tossing like this, the bird has been caught, and I am afraid that the ground will not be finished when it gets dark, and grandma will scold again." ”

Huang Meixiang looked at the ground that had not yet been turned halfway, and made a bold decision: "Forget it, we will do our best to turn it, if we can't finish it, we will turn it tomorrow, grandma's side, I will bear it!" ”

The three siblings looked at Huang Meixiang in unison, she was usually very afraid of Mrs. Chen, and this was the first time she said words against her.

Huang Meixiang was embarrassed, and hurriedly lowered her head to turn over the ground, and Xiao Donglan and Yao Zhiqiang also hurriedly waved their hoes.

Xiao Qiulan took a sickle to cut the weeds on the ridge, this job was relatively easy.

Put the iron clips, sprinkle sweet potato grains, and then catch the birds when they see the birds, for Yao Zhiqiang, who is quick with his hands and feet, it doesn't take much effort.

Over there, after harvesting three more long-legged birds one after another, Yao Zhiqiang was satisfied, tied up and bagged Xizizi, and began to turn the ground with peace of mind.

When the sun went down, Yao Zhiqiang said to Huang Meixiang: "I'll go back first." ”

He is the eldest grandson of the family, and he is also clever, and his grandfather likes him very much, even if Mrs. Chen doesn't want to see him, he doesn't dare to scold him casually.

The birds have to be plucked and cleaned, and they have to be stewed, and they must go back early.

Huang Meixiang is also an elder, and he wants to say it politely, but he never shouted the word "A-Niang".

Huang Meixiang got used to his attitude and didn't mind, so she said "um" in agreement.

When it began to get dark, looking at the two sisters who couldn't bear it, Huang Meixiang took the lead in packing up the tools and going home.
