Chapter 54: Bringing Up a Baby (please collect and recommend)
After finishing their meal and waiting until their stomachs were no longer so uncomfortable, Li Hongbin and Chen Ze squatted by the pool and watched.
"Are there many fish in this pond? I can't see them swimming to the surface."
Chen Ze watched for a long time and found that the fish were all at the bottom of the water and some could not be seen clearly, so he asked Zhang An.
"Hey, let me tell you, they are very lazy. They usually sleep under the water and rarely come up."
Zhang An explained to Chen Ze and then walked to the edge of the pool.
Put your hand into the water, and after the spring water passes through your palm and is put into the water, all the fish underneath will swim up to the surface.
"Look, you need to call them to come up. They are usually at the bottom of the water."
"Why are there so many and so big? I can't believe they were raised."
After Zhang An withdrew his hand, the fish went under again soon.
Chen Ze followed Zhang An's example and stretched his hand into the water. He didn't see any fish coming up for a long time.
"Don't think about it. Only Zhang An can bring this fish up. No one else can. I've tried it before."
Now Chen Ze is even more convinced that Zhang An has special breeding techniques, but he cannot ask about this in detail.
Anyway, my family is not short of money. If I have a good relationship with Zhang An, I can often buy it from here. Then the old man will be happy and he will be more free.
"Zhang An, the yellow pepper diced for lunch is delicious. Do you have any in the pond? If so, bring it back to me on the hour. I also want the eel."
Chen Ze could clearly feel that the dishes he ate today were all delicious and fragrant, and they all had something in common, but he couldn't figure out what it was.
"Well, if you want grass carp, I can have it, or if you have time, I can catch it for you, but there really isn't such a thing in the pond right now. What I ate just now was all what I caught in the morning."
Zhang An didn't expect that Chen Ze also wanted eels and yellow-bone fish, but he didn't release these two things at all, so he couldn't give them to him now.
"That's such a pity. Forget it, let's do it next time. I'll let you know in advance when I come next time, and you can just help me get it done in advance."
Chen Ze will be busy leaving soon and has to go to the provincial capital, so he has no time to wait here.
"Then we have to do it next time. You have to look at your face if you catch this thing."
Because Chen Ze was busy walking, he didn't talk much. Zhang An directly fished several fish out of the water.
I packed four pieces for Chen Ze and brought one piece back to Li Hongbin for Li Yao to eat.
At this time, Chen Ze was quite envious of Li Hongbin. His home was very close to Zhang An's home, so he could come whenever he wanted.
Zhang An didn't say how much it was, and he originally planned not to charge, but Chen Ze handed Wang Fang five hundred yuan, then got in the car with Li Hongbin and left.
"Xiao An, this money..."
"Mom, it's okay, just take it. This fish is worth so much to him."
Of course, this was just a small episode. After Chen Ze left, the family's life returned to a peaceful rhythm.
"Xiao An, today your third uncle and I are going to Yanzi's grandmother's house. I asked Yanzi to stay with you. We may not come back until tomorrow. I need you to help greet Yanzi and Tiewazi in the evening."
The third aunt came over with little Yanzi, and the little girl was still a little angry at the moment.
At this age, she is clingy and likes to go out with adults.
"Okay, third aunt, let Xiao Yanzi stay at home with me. It'll be okay. Are you in an emergency?"
This kind of thing happens a lot in the village.
In the past, when Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo went out on business, they would leave Zhang An at the home of his two uncles.
"Yanzi's mother-in-law fell down. She called me in the morning. Your third uncle and I want to go over and take a look."
The third aunt's eyes were full of worry, but there was nothing she could do.
"I'll take you to the bus. You might not be able to catch the bus even if you walk to town."
Then Zhang An drove out and took his third uncle and his family to the town to catch the car.
The little Yanzi, who was still crying a little, turned into a curious baby after getting in the car and stopped fussing at all.
After arriving in town, Zhang An gave her a few words of coaxing and she stopped clinging to her parents.
When Zhang Jian and Wang Fang came back, Zhang An told them about the affairs of his third uncle's house. Wang Fang must have slept with Xiao Yanzi at night.
Zhang Jianguo wanted to go to his third uncle's house to sleep. He also had livestock at home that he needed help feeding and looking after at night.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yan tried to cry several times, but Zhang An took out a few cherries from the space to calm her down.
But continuing like this is not an option, yes.
"Yanzi, my brother will take you to find something delicious. Are you going to go?"
Zhang An saw the lobsters in the ditch crawling out to bask in the sun a few days ago. No one eats them now, so few people catch them, but everyone hates them.
There are holes drilled into the ditches and ditches in the fields, which really makes people dislike it.
"Okay, okay, what's delicious, Brother An?"
Children love to play and eat. When they hear something delicious, their eyes light up.
Zhang An found a small bamboo basket from home, took a pair of fire tongs, and walked towards the Tianba with Little Yanzi.
The little girl was jumping around on the field path. Zhang An was very happy. Let's dance. When we are tired, we won't make trouble anymore.
When you come to the edge of the ditch, you can see many people crawling on the edge of the ditch.
Zhang An took the tongs one by one. Later generations will not have this opportunity.
"Brother An, can you eat the prawns? My mother said they don't taste good."
Apparently the little girl knew crayfish, and Zhang Tie often caught them for her to play with, but he always removed the pincers for fear of pinching her.
"The prawns are delicious, but don't catch them with your hands, they will bite."
A child's flesh and skin are so tender that a large lobster might be able to pinch the skin with her hands.
These words really frightened the little girl, and she withdrew her hand that was eager to try.
But she still looked around in the ditch, telling Zhang An that there was one here, and then that there was one there.
The brother and sister searched for more than half an hour and caught most of the basket, which they estimated weighed four or five kilograms. This was almost enough, and it was enough for the whole family.
When I got home, I happened to see Zhang Tie coming back from school. He didn't see his parents at home, so he rushed to Zhang An's house.
"Brother An, my father and mother are not at home. Did they leave the keys here?"
Under normal circumstances, when the two of the third uncle's family go to the countryside, they will first leave the key at Zhang An's house, and let Zhang Tie pick up the key after school and open the door by himself. It's not that Zhang Tie is not given the key, it's because this troublemaker often loses the key.
I won't let him take it.
"Third uncle and third aunt went to your grandma's house. You will stay at my house today and are not allowed to run out, otherwise I won't be able to find you for dinner later."
You can't let this guy out, otherwise you'll have to search all over the village later.
Zhang Tie was happy when he heard Zhang An say that his master was not at home.
He likes to eat at his uncle's house very much. The food cooked by his uncle's wife is delicious, and he can often eat delicious food.
But when he was at home, his third uncle and third aunt would not let him often go to Zhang An's house for dinner.
Although it is said that Zhang An's family is not short of food for the two children, it is not nice to say it out loud, especially when there is also a second uncle's family.
It doesn't matter if you have a meal once in a while, but if you come to eat every day, people will scold you for having children and not being able to raise them.
Anyway, just like in later generations, the parties involved on both sides have no opinions, but the netizens have great opinions.
This matter is the same in the village. The third uncle's family has no idea, Zhang An's family has no idea, and other people in the village have many ideas.
