Boss Xia's Lobster Restaurant

After making an appointment with Pan Yongfu to come here to sell lobsters at the next market, Xia Qingyang went to the stationery store first, and told Teacher Zhang that he was going to find Cheng Youan.After all, Teacher Zhang was worried about him as a child, so he personally sent him to the tailor shop and handed it to Cheng's mother. Before leaving, he took out two newly bought pencils from his backpack and gave them to them.

Because Xia Qingyang still wanted to buy shoes, they didn't delay too much. They hurried to the shoe and hat shop next door and bought a pair of white shoes for Xia Qingyang for four yuan. Xia Qingyang asked the boss to weigh a pack of orange-flavored fruit for the remaining yuan Sugar, half of it was given to Cheng Youan.

"Oh, you don't need so much! Just give him a handful, and you can take the rest back for Miao Miao to eat!" Seeing this, Cheng's mother quickly refused.She knew the current situation of the Xia family, how could she be willing to buy candy?This time Xia Qingyang was asked to spend money on candy, probably because he wanted to thank her for bringing Yang Yang to buy shoes.

"Auntie, don't be too polite! My mother said that Miao Miao can't be allowed to eat more sugar, or else his teeth will be eaten by bugs! It's just in time for us to share a little sugar while he's away, so he can eat less when he goes back. !"

"That's it~~ that's fine! Next time, Auntie will make pickled cabbage buns for you!"

After the three bought things, they followed the villagers back on a tractor.

In the afternoon, after finishing his homework, Xia Qingyang was squatting on the ground teaching his younger brother Qing Miao to write pinyin, while talking to Dad Xia who was sitting beside him——

"Dad, when I was shopping at Daji today, I saw someone collecting crayfish. The big ones can be sold for three yuan and five pounds! There are a lot of crayfish in the ditch at the back door of our school. I want to catch some. I will sell it for me when I ask my mother to go to the market next time." Xia Qingyang explained, and worried that Dad Xia would not let him go, so he simply added, "The teacher said that the fourth grade will start writing essays, and if you want to order a newspaper, you have to buy it." Writing papers... if you sell lobsters, you will have money to buy books..."

Xia Qingyang lowered his head, feeling that he was cruel, so straightforwardly showing the embarrassment of the family to his father.He also knew that his father was half disabled now, and even he often said that he might as well die, fearing that he would become a burden to the children.However, he hopes to use his own efforts to prove to his parents that although he is young, he can also earn money for the family.

"Hmm~ good! Then Dad will make you some fishing rods later..." Dad Xia tried his best to pull out a gratified and bitter smile, and reached out to touch the hairy top of the eldest son's head.The children of the poor headed home early!Back then, when he was nine years old, he was able to kill pigweed for his family.Xia's father originally thought that he could rely on his own efforts to enable his child to go to college and be successful, but now, with the family like this, he can only wrong the child to suffer along with him...

"Dad, you are so kind! Don't worry, Cheng Youan and I will go together. The water in the ditch is shallow. We promise not to enter the water, and nothing will happen!" Xia Qingyang raised his head and gave Dad Xia a very bright smile, "If we You can make a lot of money selling lobsters, let Miao Miao go to school next spring!"

"Ai~ ai~ listen to my precious son!" Dad Xia patted his thigh with a smile, "I remember there are some unused bamboo poles in the backyard, Yangyang, go and help Dad get a few, and then take the machete and bamboo poles in the house. Bring some nylon thread, and Dad will make you a fishing rod!"

"Well! Dad, you can make more, um, make six! Three fishing rods are enough for one person."

"And me and me," Xia Qingmiao tried to stand on tiptoe to prove that she was also the little man of the family, "Father, I will also go fishing for shrimps, and I will buy medicine for you with the money!"

Little Fatty's swearing words amused Dad Xia, who was half lying on the chair: Good son!Then dad will wait for you to make money to support dad!

"Hmm!" Xia Qingmiao's big round eyes seemed to be shining.

The shrimp fishing Father Xia made for his son is very common in the village. It is a bamboo pole tied with a thin nylon thread, and a small piece of frog meat caught in the field is tied to it. The crayfish favorite.

Couldn't stand Xiao Miaomiao's pleadings, and finally, Xia's father still made a small shrimp fishing for his youngest son, and repeatedly told Xia Qingyang that he must keep an eye on his younger brother when he went fishing for lobsters, and that he was going to go down to the river. Go to places where the water is deep.

Xia Qingyang is not really a nine-year-old child. No matter how stupid he was in his previous life, he has more than 20 years of experience after all, so naturally he would not take his younger brother to take risks.

After packing up the shrimp fishing, Xia Qingyang led the chubby Xia Qingmiao to the next door to find Cheng Youan.

"Yangyang, yo, are you going to fish for shrimps?" Cheng's mother thought they were going to catch those small green shrimps in the small river. Children in the village often fish for those shrimps. If they catch a lot, they can make do with it. a meal.

"Yes, yes, I want to ask An An to go play with me!" Xia Qingyang didn't want to talk more about selling lobsters with Cheng's mother, the main reason was to guard against the lobster vendor who had a heart for Cheng's mother.Anyway, if he really made money by then, he would definitely give some to An An secretly.

"Yangyang, shall we go fishing for shrimp?" Cheng Youan was impatient with being locked up in the house by his mother to do his homework. When he heard that Xia Qingyang came to play with him, he immediately jumped three feet high with joy, and threw it down before finishing his work. The Chinese homework ran.

Unexpectedly, this guy Yang Yang didn't understand his hard work at all, and immediately dumped him: "Have you finished your homework?"

"Uh~~ Can't I do it again when I come back?" Sneaking a glance at the old lady's face, Cheng You'an was almost made to cry by his pig teammates: Didn't you come to play with me?I finally came out, and you asked me about my homework again...

"Hey~~Auntie, can you let An An come to my house to do homework at night? I have a few math problems and I'm not very good at writing..." Xia Qingyang pretended to be embarrassed and scratched his head. , Tell An An about fishing for lobsters to make money.But I can't tell An An about the lobster peddler, so I have to find another way to fool him. I can't say that I know a man who has been secretly coveting your widowed wife, so please take good care of your wife, right?

"Haha~~ What's the matter! Go, go!" My child was praised for his good grades, and the mother immediately felt happy, and waved her hand to let her go.

It’s almost summer vacation, and the weather is getting hotter day by day. After three o’clock in the afternoon, the children in the village ran out to boil after taking a nap. The brats who fight water fights, the girls prefer to pick the petals of impatiens to chop up and dye their nails...

Xia Qingyang pulled Xia Qingmiao, and Cheng Youan took the initiative to fish with seven shrimps and a small plastic bucket in his hand, and the three of them walked together into the ditch behind the school.

This ditch is used to divert water from the big river during the drought every year, and it is used to drain water when it rains heavily. The shallow water is only half a person's height, but it is very suitable for lobster breeding.There are countless large and small lobster caves along the side of the ditch. When it rains heavily, you can even see crayfish climbing up from the ditch.

In this era, there are not many lobsters eaten in rural areas. One is that few people can cook them. Second, crayfish must be cooked deliciously, and a lot of seasoning is used. People in the village have to save some rice. How can anyone be willing to put that? More oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to burn the lobster? !

As a result, there are many wild crayfish in the ditches around the village.

However, Xia Qingyang knew that in a few years, with more and more people eating crayfish in urban areas, there would also be more people catching crayfish for sale in the countryside. Let's not talk too much, at least earn the tuition fees for him and Qingmiao first.

In order to protect the ditches from collapsing, the village planted many willow trees beside the ditches. Now all of them are thick and thick, and it is very cool to sit under them in summer. However, because the water here is shallow and not very clear, there are not many people who come to wash clothes. At this time Only the three of them, Little Douding, came here.

"Miao Miao, go and catch some small earth frogs!" Xia Qingyang directed Xia Qingmiao to catch the frogs while looking for a place to put the fishing rod. This season is when there are many small earth frogs in the fields, and these earthy yellow frogs are everywhere. After a while, Xia Qingmiao grabbed several of them and bound their legs and feet with a piece of strong weed.
