The water in the pond was not deep, so Ping An walked to the middle and then it was about to reach the knee. Because the loess was so thick that it was a bit like stepping on the dough on the riverbed. It was soft and not touching the feet. If the water was not really cold, it would probably be very comfortable.

Holding the bamboo basket with both hands, Canghai pressed the basket under the water surface, pressed it on the riverbed as much as possible, and then slowly moved the basket to the bottom of the shrimp group. After waiting for it to approach, he suddenly pushed it forward and lifted it up. When he picked it up, he saw many small shrimps jumping back and forth in the basket.

Not only were the small shrimps, but there were also five or six small furry fish in the middle. The fish was not big, and it was just the length of its knuckles, which was slightly larger than the small shrimps.

The income of the first basket is pretty good, and I can almost receive a handful of shrimps.

He took the basket and went to the shore. Canghai picked out all the grass leaves and some moss brought out from the basket, and poured the shrimp into the bucket. Because the shrimp were small and some were still stuck in the eyes of the basket, Canghai had to pat the bottom of the basket, and then put the first batch of shrimp into the bucket.

When he returned to the pond, he made two baskets back and forth. Canghai felt that it was enough to eat this meal tonight, so he went ashore and slapped the last basket of shrimps into the bucket and said to Ping'an: "Ping'an, stop playing, come and go home."

Ping An didn't speak, his eyes staring straight ahead.

Cang Hai was about to say something, but coincidentally, the phone in his pocket rang. When he picked it up, he found that it was Wen Yidao who called it.

Since it was Wen Yidao's call, Cang Hai put Ping An aside, sat back on his shoes on the shore, and waited for his feet to fuck him while talking to Wen Yidao.

"Are you at home?" Wen Yidao said.

Hearing Wen Yidao's voice, Cang Hai couldn't help but take his phone away from his ear and looked at it. He found that there were still three words in the incoming message on the screen. Then he asked: "Why are you talking about the countryside, your S&P?"

Canghai did not expect that after these days, Wen Yidao, a man who originally spoke standard Mandarin, changed to a strong local voice. If he hadn't heard Wen Yidao's tone, Canghai would have thought he was talking on the phone with an old country farmer.

"I don't have time to worry about this with you. I'll ask you if you are at home?" Wen Yidao said directly.

"Why are you doing at home?" Cang Hai asked.

Wen Yidao replied: "I want to tell you about the company's affairs! Don't run around at home, wait for me to go there in the evening. By the way, I'll order delicious food, and I'll go to your place to sacrifice my belly."

After saying that, Wen Yidao hung up the phone.

Listening to the blind voice coming from his ears, Cang Hai said to himself: "Is there anything that can't be said on the phone? I have to come here."

He muttered and put the phone in his pocket. Cang Hai turned his head and found something that was not lost in front of him. He was still squirming and was immediately startled.

When I came back to my senses, I found that Ping An was standing in front of me and caught a small eel that was about ten centimeters in my hand.

"Second brother, look, eel!"

Ping An said to Canghai happily.

Cang Hai glanced at the little eel and asked: Where did you catch it?"

Ping'an reached out and pointed at the opposite side of the pond: "I caught it there, I'm going to fry it today?"

Canghai looked at the small eel in Ping'an's hand and opened his mouth and said, "Let it go. The meat on this body is not as good as bones. When it grows up, we will catch it and stir-fry it."

The eels are too small to eat at all. Besides, there is only one thing that can’t be eaten, so I can’t even feed the iron head.

"Let it go?"

Ping An was a little reluctant to let it go. For this kid, eels are eels. Even if they are so small, they can be sold at the market for money. How could they be willing to put the small eels on it?

Seeing Ping'an's expression, Cang Hai guessed his little thoughts, so he opened his mouth and said, "Isn't this eel from our village yet? Let's catch it when it grows up. Even if this one is caught, there must be other eels, which are all things from our own village. It's better to put this eel back and grow up."

I don’t know if Ping An listened to Canghai’s words or because Canghai insisted on putting eels, Ping An turned around and returned to the shore to put the small eel in his hand carefully in the pond.

"You go back, eat well and sleep well when you go back. I'll get back soon. I'll catch you and cook..." Ping'an spat while watching the little eel disappear into the pond.

Ping An was sad and was about to go quickly. When she turned around, a smile appeared on her face. She didn't care about the water on her feet and put on her shoes with a smile.

After carrying the bucket and following Canghai, Ping An was happy all the way, as if he was very satisfied with today's harvest.

The two brothers arrived at the entrance of the village and had not yet entered the village. They met Li Liren who was about to leave the village.

"Grandpa Li Er, what are you doing?" Cang Hai greeted.

Li Liren smiled and said, "Go and see how the sheep are doing. Be prepared to kill one. By the way, Haiwazi, do you want mutton?"

"Why did the knot kill the sheep when he was not good at this?" Cang Hai asked.

The villagers' families all have old sheep raised last year. Except for the New Year's roots, some of which are sold to each household, and there are four or one old sheep left. It is not like Canghai. The sheep that have been raised for a year have been slaughtered when they have not yet fully grown. In addition to giving them to teachers and godmother's houses, the rest are almost consumed now. Who made Canghai's guy have a meat-free meal?

"Our Quanwa couple came back with their children," Li Liren said happily.

When Canghai heard this, he immediately said, "Then you have seen your eldest grandson."

Li Liren has two children. The older one is a daughter named Li Lijuan and the younger one is a son named Li Quan. He got married to the old Zhang family in Zhang Village nearby. Now the couple are working outside and have been back for almost a year. Now, Li Liren is naturally very happy to come back at this time.

You may not understand the change of relatives. In fact, it is very simple that two families have married my daughter, and my son has taken your daughter. In poverty, there is always less such a thing to marry a wife. Like in Sijiaping Village, who had no money and wanted to marry a wife, this is how they would be done if they had the conditions.

"Yes, the little guy hasn't seen him these few months, so I still think strangely in my heart," Li Liren said happily.

Li Quan's son is not very old, just six or seven years old. Canghai has never seen him before, but the villagers say that the little guy is so cute.

"By the way, let's talk about the serious matter, Haiwazi, do you want mutton?" Li Liren asked.

If you decide to kill a sheep, Li Liren's family will definitely not be able to eat it. Even if you eat it, the villagers may not be willing to eat it all. At this time, the whole village usually gets one point. Sometimes they can pay with money, and sometimes they can wait for other families to kill sheep and exchange it for a piece of mutton. Anyway, the transaction method is very free, and the small accounts between the villagers will be remembered clearly.

Canghai said: "Of course I want it. You pick up some good meat and give me a piece of it. I am Han Xin's order of the meat, so the more it is better."

"Okay, I'll pick up some kilograms of meat for you. Let's talk about it later if you don't have any money," Li Liren said immediately after hearing this.

After saying that, he smiled at Canghai and turned around and walked towards the place where he herded sheep.

Canghai took Ping An, Hutou and Tietou continued to walk home. On the way, he met two or three villagers, nodded or greeted for a few words. The path to go home took about ten minutes to finish it.

Since Wen Yidao is coming, Canghai began to plan what to eat at night. Now that there is fresh mutton, Canghai's house is not short of other fresh vegetables, not to mention the whole garden. Once there are too many things, it will be difficult to deal with. This is OK or not, and Canghai scratches his head.

Finally, I just wanted to make a little easier and just have a mutton pot. The weather is quite cold now, so I just want to have a warm pot and get a bottle of wine. The two brothers are just drinking and chatting.

Thinking of this, Cang Pan said to Ping'an: "Let's go, Ping'an, go with me to get some food in the garden."

Ping'an is not a child who steals his stubbornness. As long as Cang Hai greets him, he immediately takes the basket happily and follows Cang Hai's body and goes to the vegetable garden.

I picked some fresh vegetables, made two potatoes, one radish, soaked bean curd, tofu skin and so on from the town. In this way, four or five kinds of fresh vegetables were paired with three or four plates of bean products, and the shabu shabu was prepared.

The dishes were all set up. Canghai was waiting for Li Liren's family to kill sheep. After waiting for a while, there was no news. After waiting for a while, there was no news. Later, Canghai was a little unable to sit still and walked directly towards Li Liren's family.

From Canghai's house to Li Liren's house, you only need to walk eastward for about fifty meters, and then you will arrive on a small slope.

Before we arrived at Li Liren's house, we saw a busy scene on the earth platform in front of Li Liren's house. Many villagers were there, with several men helping to get sheep, while the other part squatted together while smoking and chatting. As for the wives in the village, most of them were helping Li's second grandmother Liu Aifen.

This is how the villagers are. If there is a big deal in the family, everyone can reach out and watch the fun if they don’t need it. Canghai likes this atmosphere very much and feels humane. It’s not like when everyone in the community closes the door and almost ignores other people’s affairs.

"Haiwa is here"

"Well, where are they all?"

After saying hello, Canghai squatted down beside the crowd, took out the cigarette from his pocket and dispersed it.

"Would you like to help?"

Canghai politely spoke to the busy crowd.

Li Liren, who was wearing sheepskin, smiled and said, "No, you can rest there."

Li Licheng smiled at Canghai and said, "What can you do? To be honest, Grandpa Li Er is good at peeling sheep."

Cang Hai smiled and asked, "All of you are waiting for mutton?"

"We need to try it out, one or half a pound," said Wei Wenkui.

After hearing what Wei Wenkui said, the old men squatting nodded.

Big guys are not like Canghai, they can almost eat meat as staple food. Each family just makes some fresh food. Lamb is so expensive. Although it is someone else's killing sheep, they have to consider how to return it to others.

"I want this sheep head today"

"No one of you guys can compete with me for the sheep ball."
