afternoon.

The hot wind blows, the dust is swirling, and the cicadas are hiding among the leaves, screaming "Weiweiwei~" incessantly.

Xu Dahai drove the tractor into his yard, turned off the engine, and helped lift the big bag from the truck bed, while Wang Zhi picked up the small white bag.

Sudden.

There was a sound coming from outside the hospital——

"Uncle Hai, are you here?"

"OK."

Xu Dahai turned around and saw Xiao Shitou poking his head at the gate of the fence, holding a big toad in his hand.

"Where did you catch the toad?"

"The river ditch to the west! We went to pick sand fruits to eat. This toad ran very fast. It was hard to catch it!"

Xiao Shitou's face was full of excitement. It seemed that being able to catch this toad was something worth being proud of.

"Is Sha Guo ready to be eaten?"

"It's edible, but it's sour!"

"Haha, come on in and play. I went to the market earlier and bought youshazi. Let's eat together."

Several people entered the house together. Wang Zhi next to him looked at Xiao Shitou as he walked, feeling quite interesting.

After entering the house, he put the package on the ground and looked around. His eyes stayed on the two shotguns on the wall for a few seconds.

Wang Xiuxiu brewed a pot of jasmine tea, while Xu Dahai took out the oil spread seeds from under the Kangqin cabinet door.

A few people chatted while eating, relaxed and comfortable.

As for the toad, he let the pebbles be thrown into the vegetable patch in the yard, then washed his hands and happily ate his food.

After playing for more than an hour, when he left, he went to the vegetable patch again, but the toad escaped and was not found.

He scratched his head and didn't care, and quickly went to play glass balls with other children.

night.

It started to rain lightly outside the window, and the raindrops wet the trees, walls, sticks, flowers and the ground. Occasionally, there was a muffled thunder in the distant sky.

"Boom~"

The heat has completely disappeared and the temperature has even dropped a bit.

The pot on the table was filled with stewed goose meat, and the aroma was wafting over the air. Xu Dahai and Wang Zhi were drinking, eating goose meat, and chatting leisurely.

"Come on, let's go!"

"Dry!"

"Brother Hai, this goose meat is so delicious!"

"Haha, it's just a big goose raised by myself. If you like it, eat more."

As for Wang Xiuxiu and Xiao Tingzi, they had already eaten since they didn't drink, so they opened both packages Wang Zhi brought.

They were not very interested in the Hainan huanghuali wood in the big bag. They thought it was just wood with some fragrance.

As for the coconut shell carvings and a dozen beautiful conch shells in the other package, they found them novel.

Especially Xiao Tingzi, she couldn't put it down for the beautiful conch.

"Big conch! So beautiful, this one is the biggest!"

"What's in this pack?"

"That's tea from Hainan."

Wang Zhi picked up the wine glass and was about to drink it when he said with a smile that he was also very happy to see that Xiao Tingzi liked the conch he brought.

"Sometimes when the brick factory is not busy, Brother Jun and I go to catch the sea. There are so many seafoods that no one wants them! We can pick up a lot every time!

It was cloudy one time when I went back, but there were so many seafoods and the weather forecast said there would be no rain, so I was reluctant to leave.

As a result, it started to rain soon, and it started raining harder and harder, and I couldn’t even open my eyes! My clothes were all soaked, and many of the crabs I caught ran away. "

Wang Zhi talked endlessly about his experience in Hainan, his eyes lit up, and Xu Dahai also laughed and asked a few questions from time to time.

Wait until dinner is almost finished.

Wang Zhi suddenly said:

"By the way, Brother Hai, our brick factory has more and more bricks. According to your requirements, some are burned by ourselves or bought from other brick factories.

However, the price of bricks has dropped a lot recently, and many people have left Hainan. People are saying that the price of bricks may continue to drop in the future. "

Wang Zhi didn't look good. In fact, the actual situation was more serious than what he said.

Some brick factory owners have begun to sell their brick factories at low prices. After two years of selling, they are filled with disappointment and are ready to leave Hainan and return to their hometown.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it. Let's wait another year or two."

Xu Dahai, the old god, seems to have a pearl of wisdom in his hands.

"One or two years! So long!?"

"Look at you, how anxious you are! If you plant a small apricot tree, you have to wait several years before you can eat apricots. For Hainan, which is so big, one or two years is nothing."

"Okay." Knowing that Xu Dahai was right, Wang Zhi nodded.

The rain outside the window gradually became heavier, and finally turned into a heavy rainstorm.

Hushing, whizzing, whizzing, the cherry trees were shaking crazily in the storm, and countless leaves and cherries fell.

brush~

The lightning was like a tree root, shining brightly across the night sky in an instant, which was shocking.

After eating, just when Xu Dahai was about to lock the fence door, a shout suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

When he opened the door, he found Rong Chenglin wearing a poncho made of fertilizer bags and walking towards him with a flashlight.

"It's raining heavily! Come in quickly!"

"Well, I just had dinner and nothing happened, and I can't sleep, so I just wanted to come and chat with you."

Rong Chenglin took off the poncho made from a fertilizer bag and placed it in the corner next to the pot. Rainwater flowed down the bag and moistened part of the ground.

"Coming?"

"Well, a friend from Guanli came into the house to sit on the kang."

"My feet are dirty. There is mud all the way. There are mud spots on my calves."

"I'll pour you some water, just rinse it off."

In addition to pouring cold water, Xu Dahai took a rag to wipe his feet and a pair of slippers, cleaned his feet, and Rong Chenglin also got on the kang.

"This big fat cat sleeps so beautifully! It's raining heavily outside, does it know it can't go out?"

"Haha, it's not stupid."

Xu Dahai also got on the kang. Since Rong Chenglin is here, let's wait a while before locking the courtyard door.

"What do you have in your pocket?"

"Long fruit."

Rong Chenglin took out an oil paper bag from his pocket and opened it on the table. It turned out to be some fried peanuts, sprinkled with salt, which would go well with wine.

A few people ate peanuts, drank tea and chatted. After a while, the power went out and they lit candles.

The candlelight flickered, the sound of wind and rain outside the window, and the few people staying in the warm room became more and more atmospheric.

After a while, Xiao Tingzi felt sleepy, so Wang Xiuxiu asked her to put all the conchs on the cabinet and play with them tomorrow.

"Conch? I just saw it. It's so big!?"

Rong Chenglin's attention just now had been on Xu Dahai and Wang Zhi, but now he saw the conch and was suddenly startled.

He excitedly put on his slippers and got off the kang, dragging the conch with his hands. It felt very magical, even incredible.

Most conchs are twenty or thirty centimeters long, with different shapes and are quite beautiful.

But the largest one, nearly 50 centimeters long, was bigger than his head.

"Is this true?"

"Of course it's true." Xu Dahai smiled and pointed at Wang Zhi: "The monkey brought it back from Hainan."

Wang Zhi laughed and said: "The biggest one is Tang Guanluo, which he exchanged with a fisherman for a pair of rubber shoes and a pack of cigarettes.

Other conchs include nautilus, phoenix conch, mantle conch, rain conch conch, and rose conch conch. These are the only ones I can remember. I don’t know much about the others. Anyway, they are all pretty good-looking. "

He also got off the kang, picked out a few conchs, and told everyone the names of each. As for the remaining ones, he didn't know what they were called.

Wang Xiuxiu and Xu Dahai didn't care much about these names.

But the little girl was very attentive and memorized it carefully.

Rong Chenglin was amazed. He felt that he had found the inspiration for a horror novel:

"How did he grow up to be so big? Did he eat people when he was alive?"
