Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Xiaoxue had never seen a bamboo rat before and was very curious about the bamboo rat that Goudan said was delicious.

But she still remembered that when she left, her mother asked her to follow her uncle and not run around in the bamboo forest.

Thinking about the bamboo rat and thinking about my mother's explanation, I just looked at Liu Yu expectantly.

"Go, don't go far." This bamboo forest is not far from the village. There are no big wild animals. The most common ones are bamboo rats and pheasants.

If you encounter them, they are the ones you should be afraid of.

"Follow me carefully and don't wander around!" Goudan walked in front, explaining as he walked.

"Goudan is acting like a big brother now!"

Chen Jinmei was worried that Xiaoxue was the only girl who was used to being beaten and beaten. She was afraid that Xiaoxue would not be able to explain to her eldest sister if she bumped into her, so she said something to Liu Yu and followed her up.

Liu Yu was still digging bamboo shoots with his head down. The winter bamboo shoots were tender and sweet, and the price was good. If he could dig more today, he would take them to the town to sell them in the afternoon.

This thing is different from vegetables. Once it stays overnight, the taste will be much different.

Liu Yu dug bamboo shoots with great interest, and occasionally told Chang Sheng some interesting stories about how she spent hours digging bamboo shoots.

Goudan, who was looking for bamboo rats on the other side, kept in mind what his grandfather said to him, and led Wu Xiaoxue to walk slowly along the bamboo forest that his grandfather described as moist, clean and far away from people.

He is a little talkative. In order to show off his power, he walked and talked. He heard Xiaoxue say that there was no bamboo forest in their village, only a few bamboo gardens, and the bamboo gardens also had owners, and ordinary people could not go in to find bamboo shoots. Son, look for the bamboo rat.

He was even more proud. He kept pointing at some things in the bamboo forest and introducing them to Xiaoxue.

"Those are fallen bamboo shoot shells. They can only be used to make fires."

“The bamboo shoot shells that fall off in the spring are used to make rice dumplings, and the rice is wrapped in them and then filled with red dates. It tastes so fragrant!”

"........."

Wu Xiaoxue swallowed her saliva as she listened and said with envy: "Brother Goudan, your grandpa and grandma are so kind to you. They are willing to let you eat such precious food as white rice until you are full!"

Goudan was stunned for a moment when he was told that, and then he remembered that when he got home last night, he heard Grandma scolding the Wu family at home, saying that their family was not good to their aunt and sister Xiaoxue.

He didn't even give him enough food to eat, so he turned to look at Xiaoxue, who was thin and skinny, much shorter than himself, and immediately said: "When my grandma and her friends make rice dumplings next year, I will give you two, two is enough." "

"That's enough, that's enough, thank you Brother Goudan, you are so kind!"

Wu Xiaoxue's eyes were sparkling. When her cousin took a bite of something good, he would stare at her with his glasses, for fear that she would steal it from him.

My grandma's brother is better. The rice dumplings made with such precious rice are even more valuable than my own. I think of the fragrant, soft and sticky rice dumplings in Brother Goudan's mouth.

Xiaoxue swallowed her saliva and smiled happily.

Chen Jinmei, who followed the two quietly behind, couldn't help but laugh when she heard the two talking non-stop. Their loud voices scared away many bamboo rats.

"Hush...shut up!"

Just as they were about to remind the two of them to be careful, they heard a deep male voice coming from behind a mound on the side.

Chen Jinmei was startled and hurriedly walked to Goudan and Xiaoxue, blocking the two children and looking towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw a man kneeling behind the mound. He had sharp eyes, stubble all over his face, and was dressed a bit shabbily. It was Li Dongsheng from the village.

"There are several bamboo rat nests ahead. You should take a detour and don't disturb them!"

Li Dongsheng stared at one place and said to them.

At his hand were several bamboo cages, small hammers, and smokey wood.

Chen Jinmei took a quick glance and knew that this man was planning to use the smoke to make the bamboo rats restless and dig holes to catch them.

Chen Jinmei is a woman and it is not good for her to stay with a strange man for too long. She will coax Goudan and Xiaoxue away when she hears this.

The bamboo forest was very big, so they just wandered around, and the two children on the left and right just had fun. It was the same everywhere.

Before she could speak, Goudan pulled Xiaoxue and ran to Li Dongsheng in a few steps, pointing at the things at Li Dongsheng's feet to introduce Xiaoxue.

He had seen Liu Maoye and others catching bamboo rats, and he knew little about these tools. He only knew what they were used for, but he didn't know how to use them.

The level of half a bucket of water is enough to show off in front of Xiaoxue who knows nothing.

Goudan kept chirping excitedly, suddenly thinking of something, he lowered his voice and continued chirping.

Chen Jinmei walked over with an embarrassed look on her face, fearing to offend Li Dongsheng and silence Goudan.

Li Dongsheng didn't say anything. He only raised his eyebrows and glanced at the noisy boy, knowing that he was Liu Fan's son.

As for the bright-eyed, handsome and thin girl next to him, Li Dongsheng glanced at her and felt that her facial features were inexplicably familiar. He just thought she was Chen Jinmei's niece and didn't pay much attention to her.

"Look, he's going to catch bamboo rats!" Goudan said excitedly, tugging on Xiaoxue's clothes when Li Dongsheng walked forward with his stuff.

"Hmm..." Xiaoxue stared at the direction Li Dongsheng left with her bright eyes, and nodded heavily.

When Chen Jinmei saw Goudan, she wanted to follow him. She was not only afraid of upsetting Li Dongsheng, but also afraid that he would be naughty and bitten and scratched by the bamboo rat again. She tugged on his clothes and refused to let him pass.

Seeing that my mother's hand was going to reach his ear, Goudan couldn't help it. He could only watch Li Dongsheng go there and stretched his neck, fearing that he couldn't see clearly how he caught the bamboo rat.

I saw Li Dongsheng placing the smoky charcoal at the entrance of one of the holes, kneeling down and blowing the smoky smoke inside.

Soon, there was a sound in the cave, and a furry gray-black little head came out. When his little eyes saw someone, he hurriedly shrank back in.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Dongsheng picked up the tools and started digging. Soon, a fat, furry dumpling with its mouth open and ready to bite was pulled out.

Li Dongsheng opened the bamboo cage with one hand and threw the bamboo rat in.

Goudan's eyes were shining as he looked at Li Dongsheng's figure with admiration, pulling Xiaoxue and moaning non-stop.

Xiaoxue looked at the bamboo rat that was still gnawing in the bamboo cage. She was worried that it might break the sparse woven bamboo cage.

In about two-quarters of an hour, Li Dongsheng dug out all the seven or eight rat holes in this area.

"Uncle, they are so fat! They are just angry, they look fatter!"

Xiaoxue pointed at the fattest bamboo rat that was trying to escape from prison.

Li Dongsheng took out all the bamboo rats now, and Chen Jinmei no longer restricted the two of them. Goudan and Xiaoxue hurriedly ran to Li Dongsheng's side and talked excitedly to the bamboo rats in the bamboo cage.
