The He Family Brother of Farming

Because they were going to go fishing, they had no fishing nets, so they had to go fishing in a stupid way.

Waking up in the morning, He Tian and his younger brother resisted to take the hoe to join Ye Lin and the others to dig earthworms together.

When they arrived at Ye's house, the two brothers got up as expected, and were stretching out their hands, kicking, kicking and punching in the yard. Not to mention Ye Lin, even Ye Sen followed behind his eldest brother with a sullen face, playing in a serious manner.

On the contrary, Li Ran, who was busy with breakfast in the kitchen, found He Tian and the others first, "Xiaotian Xiaohe is here, have you eaten yet? It just so happens that Uncle's cooking is ready, come in and sit for a while and you can eat."

"Thank you Uncle, we can just wait for Linzi and them here." The two families have not been so polite to each other these days, so He Tian didn't refuse, "Uncle, don't worry about us, let's see Lin Zi punches."

"Then play by yourself, and I'll call you when the meeting is over." Li Ran said as he moved two small stools out for them to sit and wait.

He Tian put down his hoe and sat down with his younger brother. Brother Ye Lin over there just finished a set of moves. As soon as he stopped, Ye Sen immediately changed back to his old self.

Without even wiping off the sweat on his face, he ran over here and asked out of breath, "Brother Tian, ​​why are you here so early?"

"Come here when you get up, change clothes with your brother first, and talk about it later."

After everyone had breakfast, they set off for the foot of the mountain with a hoe and bamboo tube.

The children went to dig earthworms. He Er wanted to repair the roof at home today. He didn't know when it would rain, so he rushed to repair it in case it rained. Why not repair it now when he has time? .

He Er repaired the roof, and He Er's family re-hoeed the land that the two brothers had weeded in the backyard, trimmed it, and prepared to grow vegetables.

The whole family is not idle.

Waiting for the sun to go west, the family gathered together for a hasty dinner.Because they were going to take their two young ones with them this time, both Ye Cheng and He Er decided to set off before it was dark, so as to reduce unnecessary troubles on the road, so the six of them went out with their things as soon as the sun went down.

This is the first time He He came out of the village. The time He Er was injured and went to look for the doctor before, he hadn't arrived yet, so it can be counted. Walking around them, He He's mood was also a little jumpy, and he still had time to look at the surrounding scenery during the process.

The road is not too narrow. It is estimated that someone used the car in the past, and the width of a cart can pass, but now it is the place where the two wheels pass by. Maybe it is also because people often walk. The grass grows, there are springs, and the land is wet all the year round. That short section is a bit muddy. The grass leaves on the road hang down very low, and some of them cover half of the road. If you are not careful, you will be cut hurt the face.

If some people come and go with a hatchet or something, they will cut some of them down, but the weeds always grow very fast, and there is no organization in the village to clear them frequently, so the road becomes more and more difficult to walk.

In fact, the people in the village are incapable. If there were bullock carts to go to the town frequently like Zhangjia Village, and the roads were relatively flat, Lishan Village would not have been so poor all the time.

There is a relatively flat road from the village, but just after turning around a small depression, there is a long slope. This slope is actually connected to the mountain behind the village. There is a pine tree growing in the center, so the villagers call it Songshupo.

But the road does not go directly from the pine tree, but to the right, about 30 to 40 degrees down to the bottom of the slope, and there are two intersecting rivers below. Crossing the river to the left is to Lijia Village, and crossing the river to the right is On the way to town.

But today they are at the bottom of a small cliff where they have to go back about 30 meters.

Ye Cheng opened the way with a knife in front, He Tian and Ye Lin were behind, and He Er was the last one with the burden.When he got to the place, He He was already feeling exhausted from walking, so he didn't care to look around, and just sat down on a stone out of the ground to rest.

Seeing him like this, Ye Sen didn't try to be brave, and also sat down on the other side. The others just smiled when they saw him, and no one said anything, they put down their things and got busy.

Because he didn't know when he would go back, Ye Cheng took a large animal skin and found a relatively flat place next to the small pool of water. After sorting it out, it was used as a place for them to rest. He Er also helped.

At this time, the sky was already very dark, and it was about to get dark. Ye Linhetian took advantage of this time to find some firewood and come back to start a fire. It is safer to have a fire in the wild at night.

Fortunately, there are a lot of trees growing here, and the villagers usually come here for activities, so there are also a lot of dead branches. After a while, the two of them brought back a bunch of them, big and small.

When the fire appeared over there, and the sky was completely dark, He He Yesen hurriedly changed the place and moved to the side of the fire, claiming to help light the fire.

The fire was burning brightly, illuminating the place and dispelling a few small tensions and some fears.

When the breath was no longer so breathless, He He had extra thoughts to look around. Unfortunately, no matter how bright the fire was, it couldn't fully illuminate the dark night, but they could see clearly where they were resting.

At this time, the two fathers were stringing up the bamboo baskets with ropes. He Tian and the others were busy stringing the earthworms on thin iron hooks, and then tied them to the ropes inside the bamboo baskets. They would put the bamboo baskets into the water and wait for the fish to eat the earthworms. That's it.

Before hearing from his eldest brother that he saw Mr. Xia, He He prepared a hemp rope himself, tied one end to a piece of dry firewood, tied a small piece of earthworm to the remaining piece, and threw it under the bamboo basket. Just be patient.

I lit a fire stick and brought the fire close to the surface of the water. Because it was close to the shore and the water was not very deep, I could occasionally see fish swimming underwater or shrimp crawling underground.

"Big shrimp!" Ye Sen, who didn't know when he came over, cried out in surprise.

He He glanced at him, "Hush your voice, don't scare you away." Although he stuttered, the seriousness in his words made Ye Sen stop his voice, and when he spoke again, he really lowered his voice.

"There's another one over here, it's so big!"

Following his fingers, He He looked over, and sure enough, another one crawled over from the side. I don't know if it's a problem with the dark light, or it just looks like this. Its head is black, and the front two pairs of feet are also black and long. And it feels very powerful, and it is estimated that it will be very painful to pinch someone.

The water flow washes away all the year round, and the water in the small pool is not very deep, but the water flow is actually gentle.

I don't know if it's because of the fire or what, but the two of them found that there were quite a lot of fish swimming in the small area illuminated by the fire stick, including several prawns and small shrimps.

These attracted the two of them to stare intently, and almost wished to lie down in the water to see enough. If He Tian hadn't come over to help them, the two of them would really have fallen into the water.

When the back collar was pulled up from behind, the two were still in a daze, and looked at the person who pulled them together innocently and puzzled, "Brother, what are you doing?"

"It's cold in the water at night, and I'm going to get into the water even if I don't even look at it, can't I watch it enough when I catch it?" He Tian explained dumbfoundingly.

Ye Cheng also smiled and shouted over there: "Sen Sen, instead of looking at those, why not come over and see if Dad caught any fish."

The appearance of the two little ones wanting to get their heads into the water before, in fact, everyone present saw it. If the area where the two were not in shallow water, they would not let people lie there for so long, until they saw that the two almost Lie down in the water to stop it.

Realizing that the previous actions were indeed dangerous, He He Yesen didn't object any more, and obediently returned to the fire, but couldn't stay still after sitting for a while, so he went to lift up the dry firewood that had been inserted in the crevice of the stone to have a look , whether there are fish and shrimp hooked.

As a section of the hemp rope was raised to the surface of the water, He He's nervous heart became excited and excited along with the fish and shrimp exposed on it, until the one-meter-long hemp rope completely left the water surface, and the struggle of the fish and shrimp made him I almost couldn't hold the dry firewood, but fortunately, the person next to me was quick to help throw the dry firewood back, and brought the fish and shrimps to the shore.

Ye Sen was more excited than He He himself, almost dancing and yelling, but fortunately he still remembered not to speak loudly, "Hahaha, there are really fish and prawns, brother He Miao, you are awesome!" He ran over to help He Tian get the fish and shrimp on it into the bucket.

He He was also a little excited. Although the fish and shrimps here are probably not salvaged by people, so they are a bit stupid, but the first time they fished, there was a harvest, and then they saw the happy smiling faces of the friends. , he couldn't help being happy too.

"Hahaha, Xiaohe is really good, these fish and shrimps will be our reward later." The hearty Ye Cheng is often the first to speak, and he pats He Er on the shoulder approvingly.

He Er also blushed with a smile, and nodded in agreement with his friend's words. The two adults agreed, and the younger ones would not object.

Immediately, the gills of the two palm-sized fish were ripped apart. It was right by the water, and it was very convenient to clean. He He collected those internal organs, and planned to use them to catch prawns later.

He prefers shrimp to fish.

They picked up a lot of firewood and twigs, and they folded them off and put them in water to wash them. They put the fish and shrimp on skewers, and then grilled them on fire.

Two fish and four prawns are only enough for six people to taste something fresh, but everyone still ate deliciously and happily.

He He got off to a good start, and the harvest in the bamboo basket behind was only a lot. After that, He He simply concentrated on fishing for shrimps, picking up the big ones, and throwing back the smaller ones. Two or three small puddles the size of basins were also filled, weighing at least ten catties.

It's a pity that they don't have a scale, otherwise they would know the specific harvest tonight.

If it wasn't that he is small now, and his body hasn't recovered, he couldn't bear it until almost midnight and went to lie down to sleep by the animal skin, otherwise, his interest would not have diminished.

After he and Ye Sen fell asleep, He Tian and Ye Lin were also driven to sleep by the two fathers, but in the end, the two father and son took turns to rest and watch the fire, while adding water to the fish in the puddle.

At four o'clock in the morning, the four resting people were called together.

"We sent the fish to the town to sell as early as possible. I checked before and found that they were still alive." After everyone was awake, Ye Cheng suggested.

"I'm fine," He Er replied, with a bit of hesitation on his face, "The road is too far, if we just pick it up, I'm afraid there won't be many fish alive when we reach the town."

This is a problem, and Ye Cheng is also a little difficult to deal with it.

"Father, Second Uncle He, didn't we go through Zhangjia Village when we went out? I remember Dad, you said that there is an old man in their village who specializes in pulling people to the bullock cart in the market..." Ye Lin didn't finish speaking, Ye Cheng and He Er Immediately understood his words completely.

Both of them had a bright feeling in front of their eyes, "That's right! Go out from here, let's go faster, we can catch up."

"Yeah, I think so too. Even if today is not a market day, we can ask old man Zhang to help us out, at worst, give him a few more fish."

The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they didn't waste any more time. They grabbed all the fish in the puddle and put them in wooden buckets. Fortunately, they had already prepared and brought out two buckets. Ye Chenghe and the two of them split up Half of the pick, fish and water, were so heavy that the shoulders of the two of them ached, but no one complained. Thinking that these things could bring some income to the family, they had endless energy.

Originally, the two fathers didn't want to take the little ones to the town together, but at this time, they couldn't let go of letting the children go back to the village by themselves. Then they thought that as long as they arrived at Zhangjia Village, they could take a bullock cart, they simply decided to take them with them. Went with the children.
