Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

After lunch.

Xu Dahai saw through the window that there was blue sky and white clouds outside, and the sun was shining brightly. It was a rare good weather.

After thinking for a while, he said to Shen Feng:

"Do you want to take a nap? If not, let's go to the river and let the ducks go."

"Let the duck go? That's okay."

When the two came to the duck pen in the backyard, they opened the fence door.

Driven by wooden sticks tied with cloth strips.

Quack, quack, quack, quack, ducks of all sizes came out of the duck pen while squawking and twisting.

There was a lot of shouting, and some even took the opportunity to eat a few bites of wild vegetables on the roadside.

"Which direction are you going?"

When Shen Feng saw some ducks running towards the vegetable garden, he quickly ran a few steps to intercept them and drove them back with two waves of his stick.

"Follow the dirt road to the west! There is also a river to the west!"

Xu Dahai and Shen Feng drove the ducks westward together on a dirt road more than four meters wide. Four dogs slid along the edge of the dirt road and ran forward.

The dog's paws waded through the grass. Not only did the rustling bugs stop screaming, but there were also many grasshoppers jumping around in panic.

"The weather is so nice today!"

The warm spring breeze blows slowly, with blue sky and white clouds overhead, and patches of corn fields on both sides. A large number of corn leaves are swaying in the wind.

Shen Feng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, his face full of enjoyment.

"Yeah, it's indeed a rare good weather! There's an oxcart coming, please pull over."

Driving the ducks to the side, an old scalper pulled a wooden cart slowly passed by. Sitting on it were Mr. Xu Jianjun and his wife.

"Are you letting the ducks go?"

Mr. Xu Jianjun smiled and said that he had sold a live flying dragon to Xu Dahai at a very good price, so he had a good impression of the latter.

"Well, the weather is so nice today. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so go and let them go."

Xu Dahai smiled and said hello while driving the ducks forward slowly.

Chatted with me for a few words.

The speed of the ox cart was faster than their walking, so they slowly turned around and left.

Xu Dahai's hearing was very good, and he could clearly hear the conversation between Xu Jianjun and his wife on the oxcart.

The old lady whispered: "Xu Dahai is a really good kid. We should have introduced our granddaughter to him at the beginning, eh~"

Xu Dahai looked embarrassed.

……

Come to the river.

I saw little stones, little bean bags, little bears and a bunch of other children wearing shorts and topless, building a fire by the river and roasting something.

Just ask to know.

These bastards dug out several bird nests and were roasting the eggs.

"Uncle Hai! Do you want to eat?"

Xiao Shitou ran over with two roasted bird eggs and handed them to Xu Dahai to eat as if they were a treasure.

The two small bird eggs had been roasted to ashes, and it was hard to tell what they were.

"Quack quack~"

The ducks have gone down to the river happily, digging into ducks, catching fish, and twisting grass. They are having fun and don't worry about it for the time being.

Xu Dahai thought for a while, not to chill the child's heart, but still reached out and took the egg.

Give one to Shen Feng, and the two squat down by the sunny river to peel the eggshell.

The eggs are too small.

After peeling the shell, I ate it all in my mouth in one bite. It had a burnt aroma when you chewed it, which tasted quite good.

"Go catch the toad, peel the skin, paste it with mud, and bake it!" Xu Dahai said with a smile.

"Roasted toad?"

After hearing Xu Dahai's words, the children's eyes lit up and they immediately started catching toads.

Plop ~ puff ~

Many toads were in the grass on the bank. Chased by the children, they jumped into the river in panic.

In an instant, there were ripples in the river.

It's a pity that the children are all good swimmers, so they went directly into the river to chase the toads, and the water splashed everywhere for a while, which was very lively.

"Caught! I caught the toad!"

"On the right! There's another one on the right!"

"I'll catch him!"

A few children quickly caught some toads and used knives to peel off the skin and remove the internal organs. It was obviously not the first time they had done this, and they were quite skillful.

Some of the toads were directly skewered on willow branches and grilled over the fire, while the other part was wrapped in thick mud and buried in the charcoal fire.

Shen Feng picked up a piece of dogtail grass and held it in his mouth, smiling:

"Seeing these children reminds me of my childhood, haha~ More than 20 years have passed in a flash."

After the toads were roasted, Xu Dahai and Shen Feng were invited to eat together. They were not polite and just bought some candies for the children when they returned to the village.

The toads roasted directly over the fire have a bit of a burnt aroma and taste a little hard; but the toads wrapped in mud and then buried in the charcoal fire do not have this problem and taste much tenderer.

"Wang~"

"Silly dog, don't bark. Come here, I'll give you the bone to eat."

The river is sparkling, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Looking at the ducks of different shapes paddling in the river, Xu Dahai feels so relaxed and comfortable, enjoying himself.

"Huh? No, the duck is going to swim away!

Dogs, come on! Drive them back! "

"Wow~" The four dogs jumped into the river quickly and really caught all the ducks back. Xu Dahai laughed loudly.

After eating the toad.

Xu Dahai and Shen Feng held their whips and walked westward along the river, continuing to herd ducks.

……

noon.

When we drove the ducks home, Xiao Tingzi was sitting on a small bench under the cherry tree, petting the big fat cat.

"father!"

Little Tingzi ran over immediately, and the big fat cat also came over, meowing and circling around Xu Dahai's legs.

"Well, it's a bit hot today. Let's go to the canteen and buy some ice cream."

"How many should I buy?"

"Just buy four or five sticks, and with the rest of the money, you can buy whatever you want."

Xu Dahai took out two 1-cent bills and two 5-cent coins from his pocket, and stuffed them all into the little girl's hands.

The latter got the money and ran to the canteen happily.

Waiting for Xu Dahai, Shen Feng and the two drove all the ducks back to the duck pen while chatting and laughing, and closed the fence door.

On the way back to the front yard, I happened to pass by the vegetable patch and picked up two handfuls of green onions.

"The cucumbers and eggplants haven't grown yet...Pluck some green onions and eat them with the sauce."

"If there is tofu, you can mix it with tofu and eat it." Shen Feng and Xu Dahai walked along the field ridge to the front yard and looked at the large watermelon seedlings to the north:

"Have you grown watermelons?"

"It's still raw melon eggs. I'm afraid it's still early for the watermelon to mature."

Cucumbers, beans, eggplants, peppers, carrots, fennel, leeks, melons, watermelons... There are quite a lot of vegetables and fruits grown in the back garden.

There are many brightly colored flowers around. Just taking a look at them makes people feel much better.

Wait until the two of them return to the front yard.

Wang Xiuxiu had already baked the cake, and as soon as it came out of the pan, Xiao Tingzi also bought the ice cream. It happened that everyone was sharing the ice cream.

"You haven't cooked yet, what do you want to eat?"

"Make some scrambled eggs with green onions, and some pork? Just stir-fry another meat dish."
