Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth, the forest knows
After Ju An went out to look at the cowboy grazing area in the east, when he returned to the house, Dinah, his sister and his mother had already started to prepare dinner. The three children were tired of playing and were sitting quietly.
Drinking juice and milk on the sofa, Teddy and Jinbao Hans also
He mixed a small basin of milk and was drinking it with his head bent. Wu Song took a small spoon and poured it into this basin and then into the other basin. Hans and Jinbao squeezed Wu Song away from time to time, so that Wu Song
The most common place where the spoon falls is in the basin of honest Teddy.
Ju An let out a long breath and walked into the kitchen and said to the busy Dinah, mother and sister: "Now the house is finally quiet."
My sister smiled and said: "You will know when you and Dinah have a baby. This time is already considered a blessing. When Tongtong was a little older, your brother-in-law and I would spend the whole night in up and down.
If you don’t sleep, then you are suffering.”
"When did Taylor come to pick up Jerry and Emily?" Ju An said to Dinah.
Dinah smiled: "We just left. Emily and Jerry wanted to stay here today. Taylor said they didn't bring sleeping bags, so they followed back."
Waiting for dad to come back, dinner started at home. Dad now regarded himself as a cowboy. He followed Er Zhuang, Du Jun and Du Hu, chatting with others and busy driving cattle. The life was quite comfortable.
, every day the cows have to be driven back to the woods where they spent the night before they come back.
Before everyone had finished eating, the three children threw away their rice bowls and ran out, saying that they were full. Eating with three children is particularly delicious, and now the three little ones began to eat with the three little ones.
Like a pig, he eats small bowls very well. He eats two or three bowls at each meal. Steak usually costs one and a half pieces. There is also fruit on the table between the two meals. Generally speaking, the nutrition is quite balanced.
After Ju An and others finished their dinner, they walked to the living room and took a look. None of the three little monkeys were there. Not only were the three monkeys and Teddy several others not in the living room, Ju An walked to the door and took a look. There were also people in the yard.
No, he shouted: "Ran Ran, Tongtong Nini!".
After shouting twice, a voice of agreement came from the back of the house. Ju An felt relieved. He walked towards the back of the house with small steps. When he got to the back of the house, he saw Nini, Ran Ran and Tong Tong.
While he was looking for something under the tree, Wu Song seemed to be putting something into his mouth, and even Teddy and Hans Jinbao were chewing something in their mouths.
Seeing Ju An walking over, Tongtong stretched out her hand and said to Ju An: "Uncle! Let's blow up the cicada monkeys tomorrow and eat them." Ju An saw that Tongtong was holding two cicada larvae in his hand, and Ju An
An's hometown is called cicada monkey. The two cicada monkeys in Tongtong's hands have not yet grown their wings. They are still larvae, and their brown shells have not yet taken off. They have just crawled out of the hole.
It fell into the hands of three little monkeys.
Ju An looked at it and said: "There are only two, too few and not worth frying."
Tongtong immediately said: "We just caught a dozen of them, let my brother feed them to Wu Song and Teddy."
Ran Ran said from the side: "Second Master, is this thing really edible?" Nini also tilted her head to look at the cicada larvae in Tongtong's hand, and then looked at Ju An.
Ju An smiled and said: "Of course you can eat it, and it's delicious."
Tongtong then shouted: "Uncle, uncle, can you take us to take care of the monkey?" After saying that, she stretched out her other little hand and grabbed the corner of Ju An's clothes and shook him.
After living here for more than a year, I never thought there were cicadas here. Thinking of the smell of cicadas, Ju An swallowed his saliva and said, "Okay! Go back and look for something, and we'll take care of the cicadas in the evening. We'll eat fried cicadas tomorrow morning.
”.
Tongtong immediately cheered: "Oh! I've caught the monkey! I've caught the monkey!" After saying that, she took the lead and ran into the house. Ranran and Nini also followed happily. The two little people
My son had never eaten cicada larvae, so he was just having fun when someone took him out to play at night. Teddy, Hans Jinbao, and Wu Song also followed along.
When Ju An arrived at the house, he saw Tongtong stretching out her hands and following her mother and sister Ju Rao, chattering. Her mother looked at the cicada monkey in Tongtong's hand and said, "There are also cicada monkeys here.
”.
Ju Rao smiled and said: "How fresh it is. Mom, the last time I came here I heard cicadas barking. Where did the cicadas come from?"
Tongtong immediately rushed to say: "Uncle is going to take us to catch cicada monkeys at night. Mom, hurry up and get Tongtong a flashlight."
Dinah saw the cicada monkey in Tongtong's hand and asked Ju An: "Can this thing be eaten? It looks very scary."
"It's edible, and it's delicious when fried. When I was a kid, I used to go to the embankment of the canal and feed the monkeys," Ju An explained with a smile.
Dinah still didn't believe that this thing was edible. She looked at the cicada monkey in Tongtong's hand with an expression of disbelief on her face.
Ju An patted Tongtong on the head: "Hurry up and ask your mother to find a bowl to stick these two together, and then find us a few small buckets. Get a flashlight and let's go and illuminate the monkey."
After listening to Ju An's words, Tongtong immediately put the two cicada monkeys into Ju Rao's hands, and then took Ju Rao's hand and walked towards the kitchen. Ran Ran and Nini also followed into the kitchen. Ju An
Then I went upstairs and found several bright flashlights at home, and then put on long riding boots.
When he got downstairs, he saw three little people carrying a small plastic bucket in their hands. Ju An saw that the three little people were still wearing sandals, so he looked at Dinah, his mother and his sister Ju An.
Rao said: "We need to go into the woods and put on long boots for the children in case there is a snake or something."
Dinah smiled and said: "Anyway, there is nothing wrong with the cattle dogs now. I will just bring a few cattle dogs with me when the time comes."
Ju An said: "Safety first, there is no harm in being more prepared." Now everyone started to work again, helping the three little people to change into long boots first, and then the adults also changed into them. Ju An gave them to the three little ones.
Each of the children was given a flashlight. Dinah took Nini, her sister took Tongtong, Ran Ran followed her grandma, and Ju An led a large group.
Dad looked at everyone busy and said: "I won't follow. I'm a little tired after a long day of work and will go to bed right away."
"You sleep in your own bed, and we don't want you to follow us," my mother said to my father with a smile.
After everything was ready, Ju An went to the poultry house and brought preserved eggs, tiger heads, garlic and Sith, and four cattle dogs. When he arrived at the door, he joined the large team, four adults and three babies.
, four cattle dogs, Teddy Wusong and Jinbao Hans, a group of people killed in a mighty manner towards a small forest not far behind Ju An's house.
As soon as they entered the forest, Tongtong said to Nini and Ran Ran: "The three of us will start a competition to see who can catch more monkeys."
Looking at Ran Ran and Nini, they nodded and then said: "Then start now!".
Not two minutes after entering the small forest, the sharp-eyed Tongtong discovered the first result of the battle. An unlucky guy who was lying on the root of a tree and had just emerged from the hole was picked up by the little fat hand: "Look! Look! I caught it."
"One". After saying that, he threw the cicada monkey into the small plastic bucket, then stretched his head and took the flashlight to shine.
Not long after Tongtong found it, Ju An also saw one, but this cicada monkey climbed so high that Ju An couldn't even reach it when he stood on tiptoe. Ju An didn't think much about this cunning guy.
He snapped his fingers and said to Wu Song: "Take it off for me." When Wu Song heard Ju An's words,
Wu Song climbed up the tree with a squeak, caught the cicada monkey, and then wanted to hand it to Ju An. Ju An pointed at the small bucket in Nini's hand, and Wu Song obediently put the cicada monkey into Nini's hand.
In the small bucket, Nini looked at the cicada monkey in the bucket and said happily to Dinah: "Mom, I also have one in my small bucket."
Tongtong immediately said unconvinced: "It doesn't count. My sister is a swindler. My uncle caught it." Her mother said next to her: "Then what your mother caught also put it in your bucket. Of course my sister does not count."
”.
Tongtong muttered: "Mom didn't catch it." Her sister Jurao smiled and said: "Hurry up and catch me. If you complain, I might catch another one." Tongtong then stretched out her head and started using the flashlight.
I looked up and down the trees.
Ju An held a flashlight in one hand and put it in his trouser pocket. When he saw cicadas, he called Wu Song directly. He didn't even pick up the cicadas on the ground. Ju An's sister saw Ju An's actions and smiled and said: "These three
He was just like a landlord in the old society, and he was always talking. Wu Song, a long-term worker, was so tired that he died."
Tongtong also shouted: "It's not fair, it's not fair, let Wu Song come and help me catch the monkey."
Before Tongtong finished speaking, Wu Song took out a cicada monkey from Nini's bucket and put it in his mouth to eat. When his mother saw it, she said: "They are grabbing and eating at the same time.
Maybe we won’t catch as many as we did in the end, Ran Ran and I don’t need Wu Song’s help.”
Tongtong looked at the half-chewing cicada monkey in Wu Song's hand and its clicking mouth, and hesitated a little. Finally, she looked at Wu Song and put his hand into Nini's bucket again.
He quickly said: "My mother and I don't want Wu Song's help anymore."
This caused several adults in Ju'an to burst into laughter.
Although this small forest does not look very big at ordinary times, it took me an hour to find a circle of cicadas. There are really many cicadas. The cicadas climbed out of the hole easily on the soft ground. A small
After searching in the forest, each of the three little guys' small buckets contained half a bucket of cicada monkeys.
After taking pictures of this forest, Tongtong Ranran and Nini seemed to still have some unfinished ideas. Tongtong said: "Let's go to that forest to take pictures again."
Ju An looked up and saw that it was the forest where the cows spent the night. If he went in to take care of the monkeys, the sun would probably come out after the light. His sister Ju Rao said to Tong Tong: "This is enough, what's left is enough."
I'll keep it for tomorrow night. If I take less pictures, I can still come to my uncle's house to take pictures next year. If I finish taking pictures of all the cicada monkeys this time, I won't have anything to eat at my uncle's house in the future."
Tongtong nodded, followed by Nini and Ran Ran, and the three little guys carrying small buckets led the way in front of the team. (To be continued...)
