But what about envy and jealousy, this can't be learned.

Only for the sake of dry looking.

"My brother is amazing, right?" Guazi raised his little head and looked at the four or five children on the bridge proudly.

"What a fart!"

"That's right, yes, I also have cows at home, and I'll bring them over and pick all the wild strawberries on the riverbank. ”

The fat-headed child with the head was not convinced, and after glancing at the melon seeds, he ran away angrily with the other children.

Liu Xing only glanced at it and didn't bother with it, but picked up his clothes and packed the wild strawberries, until he couldn't put it down, and then sat on the back of the black calf and returned to the bridge.

"Give it, you can eat it as much as you want. ”

Liu Xing sent the wild strawberries to the melon seeds.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh!" Guazi hurriedly reached out and put the wild strawberry handed over by Liu Xing into the wide pocket of his jacket, and his happy appearance was as cute as a little elf. It wasn't until she couldn't fit in her pocket that she picked up a wild strawberry and ate it: "Wow!

"Brother, you're just right, it's sweet. The melon seeds grabbed a handful of wild strawberries, stood on tiptoe and handed it to Liu Xing.

"Brother won't eat it for the time being, you can eat it!" Liu Xing touched the little head of the melon seeds dotingly: "I'll pick some more and take them back to my parents to eat." ”

In the countryside of the 80s, if you want to eat fruits, you don't even think about it, and you can only get a fruit addiction by finding some wild fruits and beating your teeth.

And wild strawberries are one of the best wild fruits.

But adults are busy in the fields all day, so they don't have time to pick.

So Liu Xing thought of taking it back to his parents as a gift.

After all, today is the first time he has seen his parents since he was reborn, and he is a little excited to think about it.

The melon seed didn't know what Liu Xing was thinking, of course, she didn't stop Liu Xing, but stayed in front of the woven bag and watched Liu Xing ride the black calf down the river.

There are many wild strawberries among the thorns on both sides of the river, stretching for several kilometers away.

But in some places, even the black calves can't go.

So Liu Xing was not greedy, and only picked wild strawberries around the melon seeds.

Seeing that it was almost over, he tightened the ox rope and let the black calf go to the bridge.

And as the black calf turned around, the whole river began to be muddy.

Liu Xing didn't care about these at all, but in the next second, a big carp weighing four or five catties jumped out of the river and disappeared with a bang.

"Brother, Yuyu...... There are fish, fish!" melon seeds shouted excitedly as they pointed to the river.

"I saw it, but I couldn't catch it!" Liu Xing shook his head helplessly and replied.

The melon seed pursed his mouth and didn't say anything more.

After all, he knew that what Liu Xing said was the truth.

If the carp in this river can be caught, it is not called a carp.

It's just that sometimes, things tend to be that weird.

Just as the black calf was about to go ashore, another carp weighing two or three pounds in the river jumped out of the water in shock, and this time it did not disappear into the river quickly, but jumped onto the river bank, struggling and flapping its tail, intending to go back as fast as possible.

"Brother, catch the fish!" melon seeds shouted anxiously.

After shouting, he rushed forward desperately.

Liu Xing looked at it and shook his head, and after putting the wild strawberries he picked on the grass, he ran over with an arrow step.

As for the black calf, he didn't care too much, after all, the cattle he raised knew that they would never run around when they were full.

And the melon seeds on the riverbank, at this time, the whole person had already pounced on the carp's body, holding on to the dead and not letting him escape.

The reason why I care so much is because eating fish in the countryside is the same as eating meat, and it must not be eaten until the Chinese New Year.

This is not easy to catch one, and naturally it is impossible to let it go easily.

Liu Xing looked at the movements of the melon seeds, but he was distressed. He reached out and hooked the carp's mouth and lifted it: "Okay, melon seeds, it won't run anymore." ”

"Hee-hee...... There's a fish tonight. The melon seeds got up and cheered.

"It's a carp, not a fish. Liu Xing corrected.

"Drench...... Fish?" melon seeds learned with great difficulty.

"Okay! Liu Xing didn't want to be entangled with melon seeds, so after finding a vine to put the carp on, he picked up all the wild strawberries on the grass and put them in the shirt he took off.

"Brother, I'll catch the fish. The melon seed took the carp from Liu Xing's hand, thinking that it would be very easy, but the next second he blushed and couldn't lift it.

The word 'fishing' means to take, Liu Xing looked at the embarrassment of the melon seeds, and couldn't help laughing: "If you can't take it, don't take it, you can help take the wild strawberries, don't worry! When I go home, I will tell my parents that you caught this carp." ”

"Hee-hee-......" The melon seed who was guessed to be thinking smiled embarrassedly, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

"Go home. Liu Xing held a carp in one hand and a black calf in the other, facing the last sunset, and walked towards the adobe house at the foot of the mountain in the east with melon seeds talking and laughing.

The siblings didn't notice that shortly after they left, the four or five children who had been picking wild strawberries had returned to the bridge, with two more buffaloes behind them.

Looking at the intention, he must want to go into the water to pick wild strawberries on both sides of the river bank like Liu Xing.

However, the result was a little unsatisfactory, because their buffalo was not obedient at all, and after going down the river, they roamed around, and almost drowned a few children sitting on their backs.

I finally escaped to the shore, and when I turned around, I found out.

The buffalo in the river had long since run away.

A few children wanted to cry without tears.

By this time they were coming to their senses.

The ability to ride a cow and pick wild strawberries can only be done by Liu Xing.

And they only have to watch.

If you want to imitate, then being driven crazy is the final end.

It's a pity that it was too late to understand at this time, because as the sun set, the sky slowly darkened, and it was very difficult to find the buffalo that ran away in the first place.

With no choice, these children hurriedly ran back home and called for adults to help, and for a while the cries and shouts resounded in the sky above Saltpeter Village, and they could not dissipate for a long time.

......

At the foot of Shiniu Mountain.

There are more than a dozen adobe houses.

One of them, near the easternmost adobe house, is where Liu Xing lives.

Before he and his sister approached, he saw a middle-aged woman busy in the threshing floor.

The middle-aged woman was in her early forties and wore a waist-length braid, with two red patches on her shoulders that stood out. She is Liu Xing's mother, 'Zhou Qiuxiang', a hard-working and simple peasant woman.

Liu Xing saw that his mother was much younger than he remembered, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden, but in order to prevent his mother from seeing the clues, he was stunned and quickly took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the restless emotions in his heart.

"Mommy, Mommy...... Do you think the nest is powerful today?" The melon seeds didn't wait for Liu Xing to speak, and snatched the carp from Liu Xing's hand with great effort: "The nest caught a carp in the river, and I have fish soup to drink tonight." ”

The sweet and glutinous voice made Zhou Qiuxiang come back from her busyness, she looked up and saw that it was melon seeds talking to her, and there was a carp weighing two or three catties in her little hand, and her eyes widened unexpectedly: "Gua Wazi, talk about people, if you don't brag, you will die!"

Her sentence melon baby is a term of endearment for melon seeds, and she definitely has no meaning of looking down on them.

However, Guazi didn't think so, she pouted: "What are you bragging about, I don't believe you ask my brother." ”

"Isn't it?" Zhou Qiuxiang looked at Liu Xing, with a smile in her eyes.

"Yes. Liu Xing replied.

"Huh?" Zhou Qiuxiang thought she had misheard.

Liu Xing teasingly explained: "I sat on the back of the black calf and picked wild strawberries in the river, but the river muddied and surprised the carp in the river. ”

"In other words, this carp was delivered to the melon seeds by himself?" asked Zhou Qiuxiang with a smile.

"Almost!" replied Liu Xing.

"This melon baby, I was lucky today. Zhou Qiuxiang took the carp from the small hand of the melon seeds: "Don't say anything, add dinner tonight." ”

"yes!" melon seeds cheered.

Liu Xing was also a little happy.

Seeing that the sky was about to be completely dark, he immediately led the black calf and walked towards the 'bullpen'.

The cattle pen is where the cattle live, just west of the barn, and is a low adobe house.

Because of the narrow space, it is full of various cow ropes.

Before the black calf had even stepped in, he heard the cacophony of cowflies buzzing.
