He kept his balance on the water with his hands and stepped on the soft mud at the bottom of the pond. For a moment, Zhang Chi enjoyed the feeling of the delicate and soft mud squeezing out from between his feet.
Ouch!
Zhang Chi felt something pricked his foot. Fortunately, he didn't exert any force when stepping on the mud. Otherwise, he would have suffered enough at this moment.
I originally thought it was a branch or something, but I suddenly dived to the bottom of the water, touched it, and actually caught a lively fish.
Before it even surfaced, Zhang Chi knew he had caught something in his hand.
A thorn!
Zhang Chi grabbed it out of the water and found that the guy was quite big, weighing about seven or eight taels.
Zhang Chi had just caught one, and Sun Yanping over there also raised a fish above his head.
"Good guy, what a big yellow ding".
Sun Yanping happily shook the fish in his hand towards Zhang Chi. It was actually about seven or eight liang in size.
"Did you catch one too?"
Seeing the thorn in Zhang Chi's hand, the smile on Sun Yanping's face suddenly lost half of his smile. He might have thought why he caught one and his brother-in-law also caught one.
Zhang Chi said: "I almost stepped on it, but luckily I didn't use much force, otherwise it would have been very lively."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Chi said to Miller in English: "Be careful, there is a spiny fish in the mud. This guy has very sharp spines on its back, and it can easily prick the soles of your feet."
After hearing this, Miller said nonchalantly: "I won't put my feet on the bottom of the river bed while swimming."
Zhang Chi took one look at him and felt deeply that he was redundant, because Miller was like a white toad soaking in water.
The standard breaststroke is not beautiful at all in Zhang Chi's opinion, at least not as free and lively as his own dog paddle.
"Throw the fish on the shore," Sun Yanping said to his brother-in-law.
"What?"
Zhang Chi was about to release the fish when he heard his brother-in-law's voice and asked immediately.
"What are you doing? Why are you making soup tonight?" Sun Yanping came over and took the thorn from Zhang Chi's hand.
Zhang Chi looked at his brother-in-law and saw that he was holding a fish firmly with one hand, using his middle finger and index finger. He didn't know how to hold it, but it was held firmly.
After giving the fish in his hand to his brother-in-law, Zhang Chi also said: "These two are enough for anyone to eat. Why don't we throw them away. When we finish taking a bath, we will bring a cage to catch them. Tomorrow...".
"Can one family catch Angthorn?" Sun Yanping asked.
How dare Zhang Chi guarantee this, so he quickly shook his head: "It's not necessarily the case with thorns, but other fish are still guaranteed."
"Then it's over. Forget it. Don't worry about it. I'll put these two fish up here first. By the way, do you have a bucket?" Sun Yanping asked.
Zhang Chi said: "I'm here to swim, not to stir up the pond. What kind of bucket do I need?"
"Forget it, I don't count on you anymore."
Sun Yanping came to the shore, found a place, and started digging with his hands. He dug some mud and made a pond within a pond. Finally, he pulled a few handfuls of grass to surround the small pond he dug.
For a moment.
After the circle was formed, we began a mosquito-repellent search along the bottom of the pond, bending down carefully while exploring with our feet.
Seeing his brother-in-law's appearance, Zhang Chi said: "Brother-in-law, you are like this."
At this moment, Sun Yanping bent down, and Zhang Chi saw his brother-in-law lift one of his feet. When he touched the foot, he saw a thorn in his hand.
"Hey, look, here's another one."
Sun Yanping waved the thorn in his hand proudly, happily took the fish, returned to the small pond he had just dug, and put the newly caught fish in.
"Do you have tofu at home?" Sun Yanping asked loudly and happily.
Zhang Chi understood what his brother-in-law meant and opened his mouth and said, "You want to make roasted tofu?"
Um!
Sun Yanping nodded.
Zhang Chi said: "Yes, but it's frozen. If you want to eat fresh food, you have to go to the Chinese supermarket over there to buy it. It takes about an hour and a half."
"What a sin! The United States is very developed, isn't it? It's still an hour and a half to buy a piece of tofu. It's an hour and a half to go from the provincial capital to our hometown. It's really..." Sun Yanping muttered and continued to bend down and start touching his forehead.
prick.
When my brother-in-law touched the thorn, he simply followed an old saying. What is the old saying, it just starts but ends first. It was good at the beginning, but after touching the third one, there was no gain in the next hour.
Zhang Chi did not intend to stay in the pond like his brother-in-law. After swimming for about ten minutes, Zhang Chi landed on the shore, lying on the deck chair, holding a bottle of beer in his hand, sipping a small beer while lying down in the same way.
The author Miller talked about the mountains.
Both families are engaged in ranching, so the conversation naturally turned to the ranch.
Miller's family's pasture today is the grass grown by Zhang Chi. Currently, only one-third of the land is planted with grass, and the remaining two-thirds are still waiting for this third.
result.
Originally, we planned to plant more varieties, but Selyol is getting older, and he tends to be more conservative as he gets older. Instead of replacing the entire pasture this year, he replaced it with only one-third of the pasture.
Zhang Chi doesn't care either. Whether Serior changes grass or not, the impact on Zhang Chi is the grass seed money. Now this money can no longer be seen in Zhang Chi's eyes.
Originally, Nell's family was planning to plant a new species of giant beetle today, but now everyone knows that the Nell family's pasture has been named Zhang, so planting it or not is not something he has to consider.
When Congcao talked about Nell again, the two of them actually felt a little bit sad.
Who would have thought that at the beginning of the year, the two of them would help Nell's family move to drive cattle, and now, less than a year later, Nell would have gone to Florida to enjoy the warm sunshine of Miami.
If you want to be lucky, you can't mention it. Only then did Zhang Chi realize that Nell is also the protagonist. In terms of luck, Nell is better than most people in the world even if she is worse than Zhang Chi.
Come out a thousand times.
Zhang Chi didn't have much contact with Nel, but Miller had more contact with him, so he took out his cell phone while talking and sent Zhang Chi photos of Nel's family in Miami.
Zhang Chi looked at this family and thought, well, wearing sunglasses and beach sunglasses, riding on a yacht and playing motorboat, eating seafood and drinking beer, their life was just like in the TV series.
"so envious!"
Americans' love for the beach seems to be engraved in their bones.
Zhang Chi doesn't care about beaches or anything like that. He prefers the elegance of winding paths and the feeling of being one with nature.
"When winter comes, you can stay with him for a while and treat it like a family vacation. He has a hotel there anyway," Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Miller smiled and said: "I was just thinking about winter being over today. Would you like your family to go too and let's have some company together?"
When Miller said he wanted to go, he didn't mean asking Nell to pay for it. Americans knew this very well. As long as it wasn't too difficult, they wouldn't take advantage of others until they reached a certain level.
Of course, Zhang Chi did not try to take advantage of Nel. Not only did he not want to take advantage of him, he also had no great interest in Miami.
"I definitely won't be able to go this year. Melika's due date is winter, and winter coincides with the Chinese New Year, and they will come from China again by then," Zhang Chi said.
Melika's due date is almost in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. Although her sister and her family may not be able to come early because they are working or going to school, their parents and grandparents will definitely come. If they cannot come when Merika gives birth, they will probably die of panic.
.
If Zhang Chi's wishes were followed, the four of them would not go back and just stay here until Melika gave birth to the baby.
The four elders were not happy. They were always worried about the chickens and ducks at home. In short, the small courtyard, which was obviously nothing, was filled with their worries.
Zhang Chi can also understand that the old man is not a young man like him. The place where he can make money is my hometown. They have been used to living in their hometown all their lives. If they are asked to live in another place, they will definitely not be able to bear it, neither physically nor emotionally.
.
While the two were chatting, Miller's cell phone rang.
After Miller took it, he handed it to Zhang Chi and said, "It's for you."
"Looking for me?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised: "Looking for me? What are you doing on your phone?"
Miller glanced at Zhang Chi: "Where can you fit the next mobile phone in your body?"
Only then did Zhang Chi remember that he did not bring his cell phone with him.
After receiving the call, Zhang Chi was a little furious.
"What, what does it have to do with me if their house is on fire?" Zhang Chi was a little unhappy for a moment.
"Okay, if they want to come, let them come. Damn it." Zhang Chi hung up the phone and returned it to Miller.
Miller looked at Zhang Chi and asked with a smile: "Have you been bitten again?"
"Isn't it?" Zhang Chi was a little speechless.
Miller smiled and said: "It seems that he really hates you."
"I...sigh" Zhang Chi really didn't know what to say.
Miller said: "We'll find out later. This guy is really good. They wish they had cameras on their heads. Now that their house is on fire, they still suspect others. If they turn on the cameras, they'll know."
?”
Miller's words were purely to comfort Zhang Chi and did not add to the facts at all.
Zhang Chi just hummed twice to show that he understood.
After a while, a police car came over and stopped at the edge of the pond.
Neither Zhang Chi nor Miller moved. Miller tilted his body, casually pulled out two bottles of beer from the place next to the recliner, and gestured to the two police officers.
We were all acquaintances, and there were no formalities. After each of the two police officers took a bottle, they opened the cap of the beer bottle with their hands, took a few sips, and then began to ask about Zhang Chi.
"George, do you want to call a lawyer?"
"It's okay, you ask first. I'll answer you if I want to. If you don't want to answer and you want the result, it's not too late to call a lawyer." Zhang Chi looked back at the two policemen and then looked up at the sky.
"It will probably rain tomorrow," Zhang Chi added.
After hearing this, the two policemen and Miller looked up at the sky and said yes in unison.
The movement above the head has changed. It was originally a white mass of snow, but now the clouds in the south are a little golden. This is not a manifestation of gods, and it means that there is too much rain in that area.
"George, you are really hateful. Hahaha."
The policeman who came said with a smile.
Zhang Chi sighed: "Maybe it's because I'm more handsome than him."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. Zhang Chi was right, he was indeed handsomer than Old Liu, and there was no way he could compare to Old Liu just because he was younger.
But neither of them has anything to do with handsome characters. Any relationship between these two people and handsome characters is just to make people laugh.
