Zhang Tan discussed it with the village party secretary, and the village held a meeting the next day to discuss it. The road construction matter was quickly approved. Everyone was very motivated, and the project was quickly started. The village set up its own construction team, and the material transportation was also handled by itself.
, saying it was to save some money for Zhang Tan.
Baijia Village is a small village with a small population. Most of the young and middle-aged labor force has gone out to work. For example, there is a group in Pujiang. Not only young and middle-aged people there, but also semi-old men like Bai Jianping also work on the construction site, and there are not a few.
The busy farming season has not yet arrived in July, and there is not much work in the countryside, so almost everyone in the village who can do anything went to the construction site and worked together to build roads.
Even Zhang Tan went to the construction site for two consecutive days and was as tired as a dog. He lay down and fell asleep at night.
The female comrade who was paving the road with him that day saw that he was sweating profusely and smiled and asked him to rest under a tree or simply go home.
Zhang Tan was embarrassed, because other female comrades were doing the same thing he was doing, and as a result, they couldn't even breathe except wiping away the sweat.
In a small forest not far away, a group of children were playing there. Wherever the adults went, they followed. Suddenly there was a cheer, and Xi'er was seen jumping around there, and hiahiahia's laughter kept coming.
Xiaobai was pleasantly surprised by the toad he caught.
Zhang Tan was also looking at it for a while. Xiaobai used a small stick with a fishing line tied to the top and a hook. An earthworm was pierced at the end of the hook. He threw it into the grass and shook it. After a while, it was gone.
A toad was caught.
In a short time, she had caught three fish in a row. Xi'er, who had never seen such a scene before, was stunned and her admiration for Xiao Bai was beyond words.
"This is my strong point." Xiaobai was very proud of his outstanding performance in front of his little sister, and called Xi'er to quickly bring the small cage and put the toad in it.
"Will it bite me?" Xi'er was afraid of the little toad, but she was also curious and dared not touch it.
Xiaobai showed her in person, pinched it violently and put it in the bamboo cage.
Xi'er hesitated again and again, but still didn't dare to take action, looking at Xiaobai smiling awkwardly.
Xiaobai: "Oh, I won't take you to take a bath. You can take a bath at home."
In order to take a bath with Xiaobai in the river, Xi'er pinched the little toad with her eyes closed and successfully stuffed it into the bamboo cage. She was as happy as a little fool.
While they were talking, Dunzi on the side had already caught seven or eight toads in a row, showing what real skills are. The bamboo cage he brought could almost not hold it, but it didn't matter, he would release them all later, but
Just for fun.
"Dunzi, do you want me to help you catch the strange cat?" Xi'er came close to Dunzi, holding her head high and bouncing, and she felt that she was great and a brave child just because she had just pinched a toad.
Dunzi asked her to wait a moment and catch one right away.
At this time, the urgent cry of a toad came from the grass, and then Dunzi swung his rod, and a toad bit the hook and was caught in the air, along with a piebald snake.
The spotted snake bit the toad, and the toad bit the hook of Dunzi.
Upon seeing this, Dunzi reacted quickly, threw away the fishing rod and ran away without hesitation. When he saw Xiwawa froze on the spot, he ran back and ran with her holding her hand.
Next to him, Xiao Bai had already swished away, ran towards Zhang Tan, patted his little chest and said: "Spade shovel~~ shovel shovel~~~ I was scared to death, Dunzi caught a shuttlecock.
, Suo Lao Er, Suo Lao Er!! God, I’m scared to death~~~”
She waved to Dunzi and Xi'er, telling them to come quickly and not stay there, or they would be bitten by snakes.
Zhang Tan witnessed the whole process of Dunzi catching the spotted snake. At first he thought it was a branch, but after seeing the reactions of Xiaobai and Dunzi, he realized it was a snake.
He has never seen such a battle.
Bai Jianping, who was working, put down his hoe and groped in the grass. He found the fishing rod that Dunzi had thrown away. When he picked it up, he saw that the spotted snake was no longer on the hook and had run away. The little toad was still caught, so he couldn't run away.
Lose.
Bai Jianping untied the little toad and threw it into the grass and released it. He was very pitiful about the toad. But the little toad was motionless, squawking, its cheeks were bulging, one of its legs was injured, and it seemed that it couldn't walk.
Xiaobai, Dunzi, and Xi'er got close to each other, and there was a lot of discussion. The three children quickly decided to take the little toad back, heal it, and then let it go.
Xi'er put all the toads in the bamboo cage and put the injured one in it. Dunzi and Xiaobai threw two earthworms in it and gave them food as a gift.
Bai Jianping saw Zhang Tan's surprised look and said with a smile: "It's okay, that was a grass snake just now, a harmless shuttlecock."
Zhang Tan said: "That's good. Children often run in the grass, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Unexpectedly, Bai Jianping then said: "There are many snakes like this in the countryside, they are everywhere."
Zhang Tan: "..."
Are you trying to comfort me or scare me?
Bai Jianping's words were more like a prophecy. In the evening, Zhang Tan took his children to take a bath in the river. Just as he was feeling refreshed, he suddenly saw a line of water swimming out of the grass on the river bank, twisting and turning, swimming directly in front of him.
passed.
It's clearly a grass snake as big as a thumb!!! It's so blatant!
The bold grass snake swam from one side of the river bank to the other, jumped into the grass and disappeared.
Zhang Tan looked at Xiaobai. Xiaobai and Dunzi, who had been playing in the water very happily just now, were standing in the river without daring to move, watching Master Grass Snake pass by first.
As for Xi'er, she originally hugged the little yellow duck and lay in the water splashing, but when the grass snake swam past her, she was frightened and truly became a wooden person. She didn't dare to move, and then the result was that she was
The river water carried it downstream.
Zhang Tan quickly chased after her and dragged her back.
"You are going to float into the sea." Zhang Tan said.
Xi'er's eyes rolled, and then she reacted a little. She looked at Zhang Tan, and hiaah laughed twice, feeling very scared.
She suddenly stood up holding the little yellow duck and walked towards the shore. Zhang Tan asked her why she was going there.

Xi'er yelled and walked away without looking back. When she was approaching the shore, another line of water suddenly jumped out. With a cry, she opened her hands and turned around and ran in the direction of Zhang Tan, shouting for help.
Zhang Tan rushed over and picked her up. The grass snake swam past his feet and even touched his legs.
As for Xiaobai and Dunzi, they were screaming and running away towards the lower reaches of the river... Even if they drifted to the sea, they were not willing to stay here.
Zhang Tan finally went downstream to pick up the two children. If they were lost, he would not be able to stay in this village any longer.
"Go home, go home, stop washing." Zhang Tan said, leading everyone ashore.
Xi'er also yelled: "No, no, no, don't play with the bath~~~"
In the past few days, she had been looking forward to it, thinking about taking a bath in the river, but after today's scene, she was successfully frightened.
A group of people went ashore to go home, and suddenly there was another rapid croaking of frogs in the grass on the side of the path.
Xiaobai and Dunzi paused for a moment, then yelled and ran away first, shouting as they ran:
"Second Brother Suo, Er Er Suo again!!! Run! Er Er Suo is going to eat us!!"
Xi'er couldn't outrun them, so she quickly grabbed Zhang Tan's legs and asked to ride a big horse to escape.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Tan still didn't understand.
Xi'er said anxiously that there was a snake eating the little odd cat, so run away.
Zhang Tan picked her up and looked into the grass. It was indeed the cry of a frog.
Xi'er shouted into the grass: "Young man Suo, if you eat Qimao'er, I won't let you go!"
It was a harsh word, and he regained some of the dignity of a human cub.
