"Xiao Rui, come here and count." When my mother saw Fang Rui coming, she hurriedly shouted.
"Let me count them." Fang Rui saw the anxiety on his mother's face and knew that rural people still have feelings for the poultry raised at home, although they still have to kill them to eat or exchange for some money. Fang Rui felt a little ashamed.
.
The chickens were put into the cage again. Fang Rui pretended to count them twice, and then told his mother that there were indeed two chickens missing.
"There are two more missing chickens. How can this go on...Xiao Rui, look again and see where the loophole is?" My mother was very sad. In fact, Yu Yinghong still took a relatively indifferent view of the missing chickens.
After all, the loss was not much. What she was worried about was that if the number of chickens continued to decrease, it would dampen her son's enthusiasm for breeding.
"Okay, I'll go look for it." Fang Rui first went straight to the hole that was blocked yesterday. Could it be that it had been dug out again? When he went over to take a look, it was not dug out. So what exactly is the problem?
?Fang Rui began to search all over the forest. This time he searched more carefully and attentively than last time. However, he searched like a carpet and found no clues at all. Not to mention holes, even a bunch of chicken feathers were not found.
Fang Rui was at his wits' end now, so he leaned against a piece of bamboo and wondered, could someone come in and steal two of them? When he mentioned this question to his mother, she frowned and shook her head, saying,
"No, the atmosphere in our village is very good, and everyone gets along very harmoniously. Your mother and I have been here for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of anyone losing needles or thread... let alone this chicken
How old are you, who wouldn’t be so boring?”
After hearing what his mother said, Fang Rui ruled out the suspicion, but why did the chicken get lost inexplicably?
"If the reason is not found out, the chickens will continue to be thrown away. Otherwise, let's ask Xiao Hei to go into the forest to guard him." Mom saw that Fang Rui was also frowning. She was afraid of worrying him, so she hurriedly came up with a plan.
.
"That's all we can do for the time being, but Xiao Hei is here and there every day, and I don't know what he is doing... When it comes back, I will catch it in the bamboo forest... By the way, Mom, Lao Bian
They are coming over for lunch, so I'm cooking."
……………………
I returned to the stove, opened the fire door, checked that the fire in the stove was no longer very strong, and replaced it with briquettes.
Put the pot on the fire, wait for the pot to heat up, shovel the lard into the pot, wait until the oil boils, pour the eel fillets into it, and with a chirping sound, a burst of white mist and a stream of meat will come out of the pot.
The fragrance hits your nose.
Children in rural areas, especially in relatively remote villages like Xiaotai'er Village, start their own family early. Generally speaking, they can make soy sauce at the age of three, wash rice and cook rice at the age of four or five, and start learning to cut vegetables and cook at the age of six or seven.
It's delicious. It sounds exaggerated, but actually it's normal.
Under Yu Yinghong's conscious cultivation, Fang Rui was able to handle a kitchen knife and a spatula at the age of five. His cooking skills were really impressive, as his mother had inherited. His mother was very pleased and praised him for being better than his master.
As soon as the vegetables were cooked, they heard the roar of a motor coming from outside the house. Fang Rui washed the cooking pot, wiped his hands and went out to see, Lao Bian came with Lin Fangfang.
After lunch, Fang Rui was a little tired, so he said hello to Lao Bian and went to take a nap.
……………………
I slept until about two o'clock when I got up, washed myself, walked out of the house and went to the pond to see how the water was pumping.
Rui also saw Lin Fangfang and Xiaohua, the granddaughter of Second Grandma Wang's house next door, squatting by the pond above the corridor of the house.
Grandma Wang’s family and Fang Rui’s family are not related, but as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. The relationship between Fang Rui’s family and Grandma Wang’s family is quite good, especially Grandma Wang’s grandson Liu Dashuan is Fang Rui’s child.
People grow up wearing crotchless pants and peeing in mud...
Xiaohua is the daughter of Liu Dashuan's sister. His sister's family works in Shanghai, so Xiaohua has lived in Grandma Wang's house for many years. The little girl is six years old this year, with two braids and a red butterfly hairpin on her head.
Looks very cute.
Xiaohua was very lovable. Lin Fangfang fell in love with her the first time she saw her. Xiaohua also liked this beautiful big sister very much. So the two girls, one big and one little girl, got to know each other very quickly. The two of them went crazy.
She shouted into the pond like a mother-in-law, and both of them looked very happy.
"Fat man, there's a big grass carp behind you, catch him out quickly."
"Uncle Fatty, that red golden carp swam in front of you, why don't you catch it?"
"Fat man, why are you as stupid as a pig? You can't even catch a fish."
"Sister Fangfang is right. Uncle Fatty, you are really stupid. Look at that golden carp running away again."
Fang Rui listened to the two women's merciless blows to Lao Bian, and knew that Lao Bian must have gone down to the pond to catch fish in order to express himself. As a result, he couldn't catch any fish and was in a mess.
Fang Rui picked up a bucket and took a closer look. He saw that the water in the pond was very shallow, and the backs of several larger fish could be seen. Lao Bian was busy running around in the pond, and he was chasing after it endlessly.
He was chasing this fish to chase that fish, but the fish didn't urinate at all.
When Xiaohua saw Fang Rui coming, she jumped for joy, hugged Fang Rui's arm and said coquettishly, "Uncle Xiao Rui, hurry up and catch him. That fat uncle is so stupid. He spent a long time fighting in the muddy water in the pond.
Catch a small crucian carp as big as a tiny bit now." After the little flower ghost elf finished speaking, he pointed to a bucket next to him.
The bucket was half filled with clean water, and sure enough there was a small fish swimming around in the water.
Looking at the small fish in the bucket that seemed to have just evolved from fish eggs, Fang Rui suddenly felt ashamed for Lao Bian. "Brother, you had the nerve to catch such a small fish and put it in such a big bucket of water. I'm really ashamed."
.No, even Xiaohua can't stand it anymore. Fortunately, the villagers haven't come to join in the fun yet. If they saw it, they might laugh their teeth off.
"Ruizi, please don't make trouble. I have to catch these fish today." Hearing Xiaohua's cheers, Lao Bian looked up and saw Fang Rui carrying a bucket and getting ready to go down to the pond, and shouted hurriedly.
Damn, once Ruizi takes action, these fish will not be in the urn. If he messes with them, there will be no way for him to catch them.
"Uncle Fatty, you are so shameless. Uncle Xiaorui is so good at catching fish, but you are the one causing trouble." Xiaohua pouted and defended Fang Rui, making Lin Fangfang giggle.
"Well, that little flower girl, haven't you noticed that my uncle is just playing a hide-and-seek game with the fish?" Lao Bian said shamelessly.
"You're lying. I play hide-and-seek with Xiao Mingzhu and the others every day. How can you play like this? Don't try to lie to me, huh!" Xiaohua put her hands on her hips and exposed Lao Bian's shameless mask mercilessly. Lin Fangfang laughed.
