"Jin Bao!" Su Wennian ran towards his sister, panting slightly.
"Third brother?" Jinbao turned to see her third brother and asked in a questioning tone, "Third brother, are you coming to see us?"
Su Wennian nodded, "Dad was just called by Captain Luo to go to the production team to discuss matters. He just came back and said he had something to tell us all, so I'll come home with you..."
Saying this, he looked towards the river and wondered: "What are Xiaosi and the others catching?"
"Shrimp." After saying that, Jinbao formed her hands into a trumpet shape and said to her two brothers, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, dad is looking for us, please don't catch us, just enough for us to eat at night."
After listening to his sister's words, Su Xiaosi glanced at the bucket he was carrying and felt that it was enough for several meals, so he said to his fifth brother and Jiang Yun: "That's enough, let's go ashore."
"It would be a waste not to catch them all. It's rare to see so many shrimps..."
Jiang Yun's clear eyes showed a trace of tangle. During this period of time, he lived at Uncle Su's house. Although he helped with the work and worked hard to dig up earthworms and worms for the chickens and ducks so that they could eat and grow up, he always felt that he
There is still too little to do.
He can't earn work points or money, and he eats the rice bought by Uncle Su every day...
In order not to waste the rice from Uncle Su's house, he would sometimes deliberately pack very little rice. However, when Aunt Bai saw her, she would always snatch his bowl away, saying that he was growing older now and could not eat so little rice.
Help him fill up the rice bowl.
The Su family was so kind to him and his mother, and he wanted to do more for them.
He doesn't have any other skills except that he is good at water. Now that he has seen so many shrimps, he has to catch them all...
With this thought in mind, he did not listen to Xiaosi's words and prepared to swim to deeper water.
Jin Bao saw Jiang Yun's thoughts and was afraid that something would happen to him, so he quickly made the shrimps disappear in the river.
Although compared with Jinghai City, the average winter temperature in Luohu Village is more than ten degrees, which is considered very warm. However, it is winter after all, and the water temperature is lower than the weather temperature. She feels cold even when she washes her hands, let alone swimming in the water.
If you're not careful, you'll freeze.
"Huh?" Su Xiaowu was about to catch the last shrimp when he found that the shrimp in front of him disappeared without a trace.
The group of shrimps Jiang Yun was staring at also disappeared, and he hurriedly rubbed his eyes.
"Why are they all gone?" He thought he was dazzled.
"If it's gone, come up quickly!" Su Wennian said, "Don't catch a cold."
"Yes, brother Ayun, brother four, brother five, come up quickly, dad is talking to us."
Hearing his sister's voice, Su Xiaowu ignored the shrimp that suddenly disappeared, carried the bucket and walked to the shore, then touched the head of the meat bun, "Today you finally have meat to eat, you can make a veritable meat bun."
Roubao leaned on Su Xiaowu's body with his front legs, "Woof woof woof..."
Jiang Yun was still staring in the direction where the shrimp disappeared before, with a confused tone, "Why did it suddenly disappear?"
"Don't worry, this is enough for us." When the cold wind blew, Su Xiaosi shrank his neck, holding the bucket in one hand, and grabbed Jiang Yun's arm anxiously with the other, "Come ashore quickly, it's freezing to death."
When they returned home, Bai Lu saw the wet appearance of several children. She immediately frowned and said worriedly: "Ah! Why are you all wet? Did you get into the water?"
"Haha, look, Mom," Su Xiaosi said happily, "we found a lot of shrimps!"
He handed the shrimp to his mother like a treasure, "I've only seen people eat this shrimp through the window of a restaurant before. I don't know what the taste of shrimp meat is, and I remember that the shrimp in the restaurant is different from this one.
The head is not as big as this shrimp, and the ones they eat are red, while the ones we caught are gray-black..."
His father originally wanted to praise them for catching so many shrimps, but when he heard what Xiaosi said, he couldn't help but laugh, "You little fool, the shrimps will turn red when they are ripe."
Su Xiaowu didn't know much about the shrimp turning red.
"Why do shrimps turn red?" He asked doubtfully. Thinking that red is the same color as red pepper, he couldn't help but curiously asked, "Does it become spicy when it turns red? I don't dare to eat meat buns that are too spicy.
Dish, what should I do?"
As soon as he said this, several adults couldn't help but burst into laughter. Jiang Yun and Jin Bao also covered their mouths and laughed.
"Xiao Wu, the shrimp is fresh and sweet, not spicy at all. Don't worry, the meat buns will definitely be edible," Huang Yuzhu said, stepping forward to take a look, "This is the first time I've seen this shrimp. It's so special."
Ah, was it caught in the small river outside?"
"Yes," Jiang Yun nodded, "There are many..."
At this point, he frowned slightly, "But suddenly they all disappeared."
Huang Yuzhu wondered: "It's really strange. I grew up in this village and have never seen such shrimps before."
Bai Lu and Su Jianmin looked at each other and almost immediately thought that the shrimp had something to do with Jin Bao.
"Okay, we'll steam these shrimps and eat them later," Bai Lu said, changing the subject, "You guys go change your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold, wipe your hair clean, and then come down and drink hot water."
The three boys said "ok" and went back to their rooms to change clothes.
When they came down and drank hot water, Jinbao asked: "Dad, what did Uncle Luo want to do with you before? Now that everyone is here, can you say it?"
"It's about educated youth..."
Feeling unfamiliar with the word "educated youth", Bai Lu wondered, "Educated youth?"
"Oh, the educated youth are the educated youth," Su Jianmin explained, "Captain Luo said that at least eight educated youths will come in the near future. Now there is only one empty house in the village, which can accommodate six people, and the rest have to live in other homes.
.
He wants our family to accept an educated youth, and I have agreed..."
"Ah?" Su Xiaosi said unhappily, "Our family already has many people, can't we live in other people's houses?"
His fifth brother also had unhappiness written all over his face, "I don't want to live with strangers. Who knows the character of those educated youths? What if they bully Meat Bao and want to make Meat Bao into a dog meat pot?"
"You two boys..."
Just when Su Jianmin was about to scold his two sons, his daughter suddenly said: "Dad, I don't want to live with someone I don't know. Logically speaking, the captain's family should take the lead in taking people in, right? And there are more than 70 households in the village. Why?"
It’s not our turn either.”
"Jin Bao, you don't agree either?" Su Jianmin's momentum suddenly weakened, "What should we do?"
He regretted and blamed himself, "Oh, I didn't think twice before. I thought Captain Luo took good care of us and gave our family such a big apartment. I thought I could help as much as possible, so...
"
"Dad, how much does it cost to build a wooden house?"
"Most of the houses in the village are built by ourselves, so they shouldn't cost much."
"Then you go to Uncle Luo and tell him that we can contribute money or effort, but we won't accept people," Jin Bao said with a firm tone, "There will be more educated youth coming in the future, and there will definitely be more than just these eight people. To solve the housing problem, we still need to build a building."
The house is similar to a dormitory, where men and women live separately, with six or more beds in one room to maximize the use of space."
