Chapter 57: Take the Money
After Qin Xi returned to Qingou Village, he sat at his uncle's house for a while, and then took Qin Jiang out, the noon time was too rushed, so they walked along the stream in the village, their understanding was really limited, and now that they have time, they can finally go around their hometown.
The two of them had no purpose, so they first turned around the fields in the village, like paddy fields or something, but now it is not raining, there is no water in the fields, they are all dry, and it is very easy to walk.
Many paddy fields are piled with stacks of straw, which are a treasure in the village, whether it is to feed cattle or villagers to build roofs, or to weave ropes to make shoes, etc., which are very useful.
They also saw children hiding in the rice fields at the entrance of the village, playing with cats and cats, and they were happy to hear their laughter from afar.
Not far from the front of the forest, on the flat grass, the eldest pine tree in pairs, tied to a lot of straw rope made of swings, but unfortunately the swing has been rotten by wind and rain, but more than two months ago, that is, in late autumn, the children in the village must be very happy when they swing in this swing.
They also went to see the small reservoir built on the dam in Qingou Village, and said that small is really small, and now it is winter, which is the dry season! There isn't a lot of water in the reservoir, but it's the size of seven or eight small lakes.
There are fish in the reservoir, there are a lot of them, every time the reservoir opens the gate to release water, there will be people holding a net and waiting at the outlet, there are grass carp, crucian carp and shrimp, as for the size, it depends on luck.
In addition, there is a good time to catch fish, that is, when spring and summer are handed over, during that time it rains every day, the water capacity of the reservoir is limited, and the water may be full.
Of course, the probability of this kind of thing happening is a bit small, and the year before last, this reservoir was full once, and on that occasion, Qin Shu and Jiang Yu picked up five or six big fish, countless small fish, and dried them that couldn't be eaten, and they were old and fragrant.
It was also their luck that Qin Shu liked to go out and wander when he was fine, he was the first to find that the water in the reservoir was overflowing, and there were fish on the mountain to pick up.
The shore of the reservoir is yellow mud, and some of the grass above is withered yellow grass, and the hay is no more than a finger long, so you can imagine what this place will be like in spring, with green grass, butterflies flying, water birds swimming in the water, and if you are lucky, you can see snow-white rabbits bouncing on the other side.
If she is in Qingou Village, then she wants to herd the cattle, drive the cattle here, let them graze here, not to mention more worry-free, she can go to the pine trees in the high places to enjoy the shade, or take a fishing rod to sit on the shore to fish, the cows will go down to drink water when they are thirsty, the sun sets, as long as they lead a cow to go back, the rest of the cattle are afraid of being left behind, they will follow themselves, anxious, and they will run, not to mention how worry-free.
"Brother, it's a pity that we didn't bring our fishing rods, otherwise we can try to see if there are many fish in this reservoir." Qin Xi sat on the mud-yellow boulder on the shore, looked at the calm water and said with a smile.
When the reservoir is in spring and summer, the rain becomes more, and the reservoir will rise, and when the time comes, the stone under her ass will be submerged, so the stone has a very fine layer of yellow mud adsorbed outside, which is yellow, and its original background color should be cyan.
Qin Xi clenched his fists, crushed the soil that had been pulled off the boulder, and then opened his hand, and the wind blew, but there was no trace.
"Next time, we can bring it."
"Don't do it! It's so strange to take a car and bring a fishing rod, let's bring a fishing hook, just bring a line, bamboo is easy to get. ”
In other words, Qin He, they were okay on the way back!
In that kind of road condition, there is no place to sit, standing all the way, it will really be upside down, stay in the bus, just four words, worrying.
If it weren't for the long distance, she wouldn't have chosen to take the car, the road conditions at this time were worrying, and she was really afraid of accidents on the road.
She planned to reach a place within five or six miles, an hour's walk, and she would never take a car if she could walk.
I don't know how it feels to sit in an ox cart in the countryside? It should be better than a bus! Not to mention anything else, at least the eyes can see the whole situation, even if it falls, it will not be very heavy, and it is full of security, and the only disadvantage of riding an ox cart in this weather is that it is cold.
The reservoir looked small, but the two of them did not dare to try to walk around it, for fear that it would be too late, because a small ditch with water would block their way and make them walk for an extra half an hour.
They stayed outside for almost two hours, and when they got home, their aunt Jiang Yu was already busy in the kitchen, Qin Xi went over to take a look, and she was alone in the kitchen, both to light the fire and wash and chop vegetables, she was really busy, so she went in to help her light the fire.
"O brook! I'll just come, you go back to the house and sit! Jiang Yu saw Qin Xi who came in to help her light the fire, and subconsciously said a few polite words.
"It's okay, Auntie, there are too many people in the hall to bake the fire, I can't squeeze in, I'm just right here." As Qin Xi spoke, he added another piece of firewood to it.
This familiar big stove is much more powerful to use to light the fire, and she used to help her grandparents burn the fire, and she is very proficient.
"Okay, I'll bother you." Jiang Yu said with a smile.
I also have two more good feelings for this niece, after all, she is really a little busy now, and she has to make dinner for ten people by herself, and everything depends on her hands, and this workload is not easy for her.
It didn't take long for Qin Jiang to come over, for him, as long as his sister was there, it was a good place, and he also squeezed in to bake the fire, and the small kitchen, since he also came in and squatted, it became a little crowded in an instant.
Dinner was not sumptuous, just a simple sweet potato porridge with cabbage and radish for the winter, but these dishes were stewed in the leftover vegetable soup at noon, and the taste was much better than what they usually ate, at least there was some oil and water in the dish.
But for Li Chunhua, she was not satisfied with this meal, and felt that her second daughter-in-law was perfunctory to her: "This porridge is full of sweet potatoes, and it is not cooked soft, and it tastes hard, Jiang Yu!" Your craft has regressed too much! ”
"And this cabbage radish, the clear soup is watery, and it makes people unappetizing when they look at it."
Jiang Yu is used to it, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, and she directly didn't hear her fart, but she can bear it, Qin Shu can't bear it, who is this burying?
"If you love to eat, if you don't eat, get out of here, my family is not thin."
"Originally, there was no food for you at home, you can sit and eat here, or for my brother's sake, now that you are so disgusted, the old rules, pay the money!"
"Just this meal, I won't charge you more, it's almost three cents, after all, my sister Yu also helped you work, and there is also the cost of staying for one night, charge you one point, a total of four cents, take the money."
