Chapter 36: The Baby Shark in the Waterhole
It was getting dark, and every family in the village was eating dinner.
Many people held bowls in their hands, and with some food on them, they stood at the door and chatted with their neighbors while eating.
However, Zhang Ze's family is different, today Zhang's mother burned a pot of chicken, so she naturally had to close the door and hide it to eat.
Maybe the smell wafting out will arouse suspicion, but they don't care so much, it's better than opening the door and someone else with a bowl to find the door!
When the time comes, maybe a polite sentence will be on the pole for others.
"Hmm~ The chicken thighs are so fragrant!" At this time, Zhang Wu, who had been crying for a long time and no one was paying attention to him, was competing with a big chicken leg.
It has become an unchangeable fact that a dime becomes a penny, so eat a little more chicken tonight.
In a few moments, a large chicken leg was eaten, and then he set his eyes on the last chicken wing in the large bowl.
Because the other chicken leg and chicken wings have been divided between Zhang Qing and Zhang Qian, Zhang Ze is not interested in chicken legs and chicken wings, so he kept them.
Just as Zhang Wu stretched out his chopsticks to clamp the chicken wings, Zhang's mother's chopsticks snapped on his hand: "What are you doing, what are you doing, a big chicken leg is not enough for you to eat, don't you have other meat, these chicken wings are your brother's." ”
"I thought my brother wouldn't eat it..."Although Zhang Wu is eager for chicken wings, he will not be vexatious or selfish in this regard.
There are basically several children in every family in rural areas, and unless the parents have such a personality, it is difficult to develop the self-like character of the children of later generations.
"I don't eat it, you can eat it!" Zhang Ze smiled and put the chicken wings in his bowl, today his younger brother was wronged, and he had to give a small compensation.
"Thank you, brother!" Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and he immediately thanked him happily, and then began to deal with the chicken wings.
Children are good, emotions come and go quickly, and there is no trouble.
Zhang Huihong smiled when she saw this, of course she doted on her youngest son, but there were only four children in the family, and she had to have a bowl of water as smooth as possible as a mother, not to mention that all this was brought by the eldest son.
"By the way, Aze, the girl's family you fell in love with today is here, and she came to our village to inquire about you and Ergouzi, and I just happened to meet me!"
"Ahem, cough, cough..."Zhang Ze, who was eating, almost choked.
The Tong family asked someone to inquire about his expectations, but he didn't expect to meet his mother just by chance, which was a bit of a coincidence.
As for the outcome, he didn't even have to guess.
"Eat slowly, you kid!" Zhang Huihong hurriedly patted him on the back, and when she saw that he was better, she continued, "I have already asked your Aunt Fang to go to the matchmaker tomorrow, and if you agree, you will follow you the day after tomorrow." ”
"Okay, I got it!" Tomorrow after delivering goods to the radio factory, he will have a few days to spare, and he can just go to Tong's house.
After dinner, Zhang's mother, who had been busy all day, took her two daughters to fetch water to bathe in the house, and Zhang Wu washed in the yard by himself.
Zhang Ze took out the stools at the dining table and put them together, and then lay on them to enjoy the coolness.
Although it is summer, the current summer is not as hot as in later generations, and it is very cool to blow the wind outside at night.
Zhang Ze had to go to the beach at about eight o'clock in the evening, and now it was a little early, so he simply lay down for a while.
There was a bang, and he couldn't help but get up after lying down for a while.
Usually before going to bed, Zhang Huihong will light his dried wormwood into the room to repel mosquitoes, so he has not experienced mosquitoes when he sleeps after being reborn.
In addition, I often go out fishing at night, and the smell of wormwood in the room is not strong when I come back, but I don't consider that the mosquitoes in this year are much more rampant than in later generations.
I can't bear it, I can't bear it, and if I lie down again, he'll be a mosquito's blood bag.
"Ah Wu, you go in and tell your mother after you wash, I'm going to the beach."
"Brother, are you going to catch lobsters?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"No... It's nothing, I'm just a little craving for blue crabs, brother, can you bring some back? ”
Seeing his younger brother's insincere appearance, Zhang Ze suddenly understood that this kid probably wanted to try the taste of lobster.
But after hesitating, he didn't break it.
The price of lobsters is not low and can be sold for money, and the family needs money everywhere now, and he does not plan to bring these valuable things back to his family to taste for the time being.
At present, you still have to make money first, and it is not too late to try these good things for your family when the family conditions are comfortable in the future.
Anyway, there are a lot of good things on the beach, and the taste is actually good, so when he is free, he will show his hand to his family.
"Okay, then I'll come back and bring a few blue crabs!"
agreed, Zhang Ze went into the house and took out his special bamboo basket, the fishing line and the hook were placed in it, maybe there was no suitable fishing spot at low tide, but he still brought it, and finally the kitchen knife was not forgotten.
Leaving the village and coming to the path to the sea, his heart moved, and the flashlight and battery in the small space suddenly appeared in his hand.
Put the battery in, and then tighten the back cover, the flashlight suddenly emitted a bright light, illuminating the road conditions in front clearly.
And when he unscrewed the lid on the tail a few times and loosened it a little, the light bulb in the flashlight went out immediately.
Although the switch is broken, it is good to be able to use it, just twist the cover, and it is not too much trouble.
Then he retracted the flashlight into a small space, adjusted his eyes to the darkness, and continued to walk towards the beach.
He was familiar with this path, and the moonlight was still good today, so there was no need to waste electricity.
When he came to the location of the grove, he was a little sorry that there was no blood-pumping sound today, otherwise he could have secretly gone back and called the Venerable Master to come to the scene to catch the rapist.
Gathering his thoughts, Zhang Ze continued to walk towards the sea, and after a while, he came to the reef area.
Now the sea is rattling, and it looks like the tide is about to start to recede.
Zhang Ze sighed, there is no deep water area in this place, otherwise the low tide is a good time for fishing.
However, the low tide is also suitable for catching the sea, so he took out his flashlight again, and then prepared to collect the lobsters before starting to catch the sea.
Coming to the puddle, Zhang Ze placed the flashlight on a low reef that had not been submerged by the sea, and aimed it at the position of the straw rope.
Fetching two rocks to cushion on the sides to prevent the flashlight from rolling, he walked to the puddle and grabbed the straw rope that had surfaced to prepare to pull the shrimp pot up.
As soon as he mentioned the straw rope, Zhang Ze felt a sigh in his heart, because the straw rope was very light, and obviously there was a problem at the other end and it had been broken.
He hurriedly pulled the straw rope back, and then pulled up a shrimp pot that was more than half broken.
I looked closely at the shrimp pot, and saw that the marks on it seemed to have been bitten by some creature.
didn't have time to think about it, Zhang Ze hurriedly went to pull the second shrimp pot.
Fortunately, the luck was not too bad, this shrimp pot turned out to be safe, and the weight was about the same as before, or even a little heavier.
It's just that as soon as the shrimp pot was pulled to the surface of the water, a meter-level black shadow also rushed up, it opened its big mouth and revealed a mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit directly on the shrimp pot.
Then the body kept swinging, and easily bit out a hole in the shrimp pot, revealing the figure of the lobster inside.
Zhang Ze quickly lifted the shrimp pot into the air, and then took the shrimp pot and stuffed it into the bamboo basket.
He didn't expect his luck to be so bad that a baby shark ran into a puddle to wreak havoc.
