At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still warm and the heat enveloped the small mountain village. But the villagers in Lijiagang could not wait any longer. The paddy fields were chewed up every year. There was no need for Li Fukui to shout at the top of his lungs and explain, this time the whole village,
It's rare that everyone joins the battle together. Adults and children are all fully prepared. They are all carrying buckets and small shovels. Compared with the bitter look on the faces of the adults, the children are all very excited and grinning. Usually, they are very excited.
When I caught lobsters, I went into the ditch. My parents saw it and slapped me casually. This time, I was ordered to catch lobsters and there was a reward. Needless to say, the little kid was very excited.
The terraced fields are on a small hill near the river, where the soil is the thickest and most fertile. It is not far from the village, about 300 to 400 meters, and there are more than 20 fields here. Li Feng's family has very little land, and only Li Feng came here, but
Behind him were Mengmeng, Lingdang, Leilei, and a few other little guys.
The water in the paddy fields that had been exposed to the sun for a day was still a bit scalding, but these children didn't care. They went down to the fields one by one and started splashing around, paying no attention to their parents who were shouting behind them.
The terraces come in different sizes and shapes, and many children are confused about who belongs to whom. Li Feng’s terrace is located at the foot of the mountain, making it the easiest to find. Looking from a distance, it looks like a field full of water. The hole dug by Li Feng,
The sound of gurgling water and the shining silver light. Looking at the noisy children on the mountain from a distance, Li Feng smiled and shook his head. These children, without a few slaps, are dishonest and itchy.
"Uncle, the second child was spanked by his father, hehe." Mengmeng ran from somewhere else, proudly showing off the latest information she had gathered.
Li Feng listened to Mengmeng's words and thought to himself that this kid should not dig out the lobster hole in his paddy field and run away to another house without being beaten. But it is also his uncle's fifty yuan that caused this. What reward?
Yes, a whole village of people, all come over.
The second child thought that he was very beautiful, so he helped other people get lobsters, and then he got the lobsters from his own paddy fields. He must have paid the most, which was a good idea, but his father was worried about the lobsters at this time.
I spent more than ten yuan on the water and polishing oil. Not to mention that I spent a long time looking at it. I was so hot that I suffered from the boss. In just two days, most of the water was gone. At this time, I felt really hateful.
The little thing lobster wanted to tear the lobsters in his own field into pieces. When he was feeling depressed, he actually saw his son running into other people's fields to help others dig out lobsters. You can imagine how angry he felt.
Now the second child was unlucky. Li Fuqing was livid and slapped the second child hard several times. If someone else hadn't pulled him, the second child might have suffered a bruise and a swollen face.
The second child received an inexplicable beating and muttered aggrievedly that he was just trying to make money, so why should he hit me? When he heard this, he glared at me fiercely and said, "Please take out all the shrimps in the field for me."
, I'll give you fifty, little bastard." The same scene happened on the terraced fields on the mountain. A few sturdy boys were beaten, and they stuck their buttocks out obediently and looked for the lobster hole, dug out the lobster, and dug deep. At this time, it was
You can't let go of one lobster. This thing is too harmful. Maybe one lobster can breed a group. Think about it, one lobster can give birth to more than 200 babies at a time, which is a large group.
Li Feng waited for the water in the fields to drain out, and looked for a place where the water came out along the field ridges. There was some grass on the field ridges, so it was a bit inconvenient to find. As for Mengmeng, these children, not only did Er Er and the others just mentioned, but he himself
I ran into other people's fields, stuck my butt out, dug in the soil with a small shovel, and got covered in mud. I really shouldn't have taken him there, but I was afraid that these children would follow me secretly and cause trouble.
"Wow, uncle, look, I caught a lobster, Ben Leilei, Sister Lingdang, let's pretend it." The two little girls held a crayfish that was covered in mud, with no claws or tail visible, and they were very proud.
I didn't see the depressed look on the owner's face at all. The two children wielded the shovel very neatly, but unfortunately, half of the field ridge was dug down.
"Come back quickly, you see, you have trampled on other people's seedlings." Li Feng smiled sheepishly at his fourth uncle. These troublemakers didn't even know how to avoid the seedlings. Li Feng quickly called a few people back. "
Help uncle look for lobster holes. I'll give you a dime if I find one." Li Feng searched for a while, but found three. However, the water flow in these shrimp holes is not large, so there must be more, otherwise it will fill a field in one night.
Water is impossible.
"Really? But one dime is not enough to sell popsicles. Grandpa Li even gives fifty, and uncle, one yuan is good for a hole." Leilei nodded from the side. The two children just...
Only then did he find three or four shrimp holes. Li Feng didn't dare to agree. He didn't know how many shrimp holes there were in his land. His paddy field was near the foot of the mountain, and the ditch at the head of the field was connected to the puddles of the river. There weren't many other places, but the most.
It's just a crayfish with two arrogant pincers.
"One piece? Haha, that's too much. How about a cream popsicle for each hole?" Whether it's fifty cents or one piece, this little money is nothing to Li Feng, but this kid can't let her feel that money is too easy.
Earn money, especially Mengmeng, this little money mi, has more than a hundred yuan in his pocket, and Leilei is jealous.
"Fifty cents? Huh, okay, uncle is a stingy guy." Mengmeng counted with his fingers, rang the bell, stared, and searched along the field ridge. As for Leilei, they didn't let him play with him.
"Tch, uncle, look at how amazing this girl is." As he said this, the man ran a few steps and ran ahead of Mengmeng and Meng Meng, as if on purpose.
Li Feng shook his head with a wry smile and took the iron catalpa to dig the few shrimp holes he had just discovered. These holes had penetrated the field ridges and caused great trouble.
"Hey, this is it?" Li Feng dug for about ten minutes. He originally thought it was a lobster, but after digging for a long time, it turned out to be an eel. Let me tell you, how can a lobster hole be so deep? Fortunately, the water just drained away. This guy
It was quite strenuous to run. Li Feng had quick eyes and quick hands. He couldn't let it run away, so his work was not in vain. He fastened the buttons on the small half-pound eel. It's not small. No wonder, these several holes are connected together.
, it seems that it was all caused by the guy in front of me.
"Wow, uncle, give it to me, give it to me, what a big eel." Li Feng held the yellow slug in his hand and his hands were full of mud. He had only walked a few steps when the sharp-eyed Mengmeng ran over with his own small bucket.
, this girl bought yellow slugs last time, knowing that they are worth more than lobsters, but her aunt didn’t want to catch them by herself. There was a lot of money in the ditch at her uncle’s house. In her eyes, the eels in the ditch were filled with bills and toys.
snack.
"Don't grab it, okay, okay, here it is, don't move." Li Feng was a little speechless. Why does this girl like to rub her little hands on others so much? There are several small handprints on the white shirt, which are covered with mud.
.
"Be careful, don't run away." Li Feng warned Lou Dai. If this thing ran into the paddy field, it would be difficult to catch it by himself.
Even though there are no eels in these holes, I still have to dig them out and cover them with soil and stamp them firmly. I don’t have the time to worry about Mengmeng, but I just have to explain.
"Yeah, I got it." This girl, Li Feng didn't have time to waste. At this moment, these children found more than a dozen shrimp holes and eel holes. Not only were there a lot of lobsters in his house, but there were also a lot of eels. This time Li Feng had one.
He didn't let it go either, not even the several crab holes that were connected to the ditch.
At half past seven, although the sky did not get dark, mosquitoes were already appearing in the mountains. Li Feng took a few children to wash off the mud on the bank of the river. The village children sang songs. Under the setting sun, a group of people walked towards the smoke-filled house.
Walking into the village, the lobsters, eels, loaches and crabs in the buckets in my hands would definitely make a pot of river delicacies.
"You two go home and get your clothes. I'll put in the hot water and take a good wash." The solar water was steaming hot. Li Feng filled the bath bucket and washed himself in the shower. It was too hot and the sun was too strong.
Yes, solar water is at least 70 degrees Celsius.
"How's it going? What did you gain today?" During dinner, Li Feng asked casually. He hadn't been to Lao Gaoling for many years. He remembered that the last time he went there, he was still in junior high school. Now he calculated that he was at least
I haven't been to that place for more than ten years.
"Nothing was gained, just a few common birds, nothing worth studying." Some of them were a little discouraged. They had been working hard for a day under the bright sun and across mountains and rivers, but nothing had been gained, and they felt uncomfortable.
Li Feng smiled. There are many things where hard work may not necessarily pay off, but it is true that if you don't work hard, you will definitely not get results.
"Where can you find rare birds like swans so easily every time? Don't be discouraged. There may be surprises waiting for you to discover in the mountains."
"Yes, Xiaoying, Xiaobao is right, maybe you can find that Zhu something next time. Don't think about it, let's eat. Today we eat pancakes. It's hot, so let's have something cold.
To dissipate the heat." The noodles Zhang Lan mentioned should not be called noodles to be precise, but rice cakes. They are a bit like rice cakes, but they add more mung beans and corn flour. Use a lu sieve to eat the meat tendons.
.
Li Feng pulled out a bowl of watered noodle pancakes early, mixed them with cucumber shreds, radish shreds, vinegar, crushed garlic cloves and green peppers. Not to mention the taste, the coolness was good as soon as he ate it, and he added the ingredients.
It was extremely delicious to eat. Li Feng made several girls laugh when he ate it, especially Mengmeng who often came over to eat. She shaved her little face and made faces. This girl, I will call you next time if she sees something delicious.
"You kid, eat slowly, there is plenty." Zhang Lan happily helped the two children add food. Seeing his son eating, he rolled his eyes. As for Li Shan, he was asking Li Feng about the paddy field.
"Grandpa Li, Mengmeng knows. Mengmeng found six holes. Uncle said to give me three yuan, but Ben Leilei only found two holes." When Mengmeng heard Li Shan asked about the lobsters in the paddy fields, she raised her little
Hand, eager to take credit, of course not forgetting to belittle Leilei. Fortunately, Leilei went back to eat at this time and was not here, maybe there would be a fuss.
"Haha, Mengmeng is so awesome, even better than your uncle." Mengmeng was very happy to be praised. She ate big, licking her breasts and holding her head high.
Li Shan was a little surprised when he heard that Li Feng dug more than ten lobster and yellow slug holes. His own paddy field was only one acre, and he didn't know what other companies in the village were like.
"This lobster is really harmful to people. No, Xiaobao, I think I'd better go to the street to buy some lobster medicine and spray it on the ground. Otherwise, there might be trouble one day." Li Feng said.
I didn’t want my food to be full of pesticides, so I quickly stopped my dad and asked him to take a closer look at this little lobster. It would be fine. Applying pesticides is making a fuss.
