Chapter 99 Crayfish

"This is a quilt for children!" Zhang Zelin said with a smile as he looked at the puzzled person.

"Okay!" Fang Qing had never given birth to a baby, so she didn't know what she needed. She saw that she had nothing to do with her husband's embroidery, so she planned to go to the fields.

"Young girl!"

Fang Qing heard the sound at the door, and saw Zhang Ren, mother and son, coming in with a carriage, "Auntie, are you and your cousin back?"

Zhang Ren took his daughter and drove the carriage into the yard, "After I returned from your house, I took your cousin to the yamen, and I will come back as soon as the matter is settled."

"The matter has been settled. The paddy field I bought is near our village or from another village." Seeing the mother and son in high spirits, Fang Qing thought that things might go well.

"I took your cousin to find your Aunt Xuyang directly. With your Aunt Xuyang here, things were done quickly and smoothly."

Fang Qing wondered why Xia Xuyang didn't come with Sun Yinhao yesterday, and she heard Zhang Ren said that she went to the yamen to look for her, so she said, "Isn't that right? Aunt Xuyang is in the yamen, so it's convenient for us to go to the yamen sometimes. a lot of."

"That's right! There is a difference between someone in the yamen and no one," Zhang Ren said, sitting on the stool and continuing, "When I went with your cousin just now, I met some people who were buying fields. , we have completed the formalities, and they are still queuing up!"

While his mother was talking to his sister-in-law, Zhang Xi took down the contents of the carriage and gave it to Zhang Zelin, "Cousin, put this away."

Zhang Zelin looked at the pastry in Zhang Xi's hand, "Cousin, what are you doing!"

"Mother said that you like to eat during this time, so I bought some on the way."

Zhang Zelin didn't expect that his aunt and cousin would buy pastries for him. He didn't understand the situation of his aunt's house. Really, my aunt, why did you buy such expensive pastries?
"Cousin, you take the pastries back for the children? I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Ren who was talking to Fang Qing said, "Brother Lin, my aunt bought it for you, so you can keep it."

"But?" Zhang Zelin knew that his aunt lived frugally, and was usually reluctant to buy any expensive things. Why not leave the cakes to him and give them to his nephews to eat?
Fang Qing knew that Zhang Ren bought the cakes to thank her, and if Fu Lang refused, he would feel sorry for Zhang Ren, "Brother Lin, since my aunt bought it for you, you take half and give the rest to my cousin Take it back and give it to some children to taste."

"Wife owner? Oh! All right, all right! I'll keep half of it." Zhang Zelin listened to his wife's words, and took the pastries to the living room to take out half.

Zhang Ren said disapprovingly: "Girl Qing, I bought this for Brother Lin, how can I take it back?"

"Auntie, you also know that Lin Ge is the only one in my family who likes to eat these things, and I bought some for him only two days ago. How can he eat so many snacks by himself?"

Zhang Ren knew that Fang Qing's family was in a good situation. After hearing Fang Qing's words, she immediately didn't know what to say.

Zhang Zelin took out a few pastries and handed them to his cousin again, "Cousin, take the rest back to the children."

"Cousin..."

Zhang Zelin glared at her, "Be obedient, don't be stubborn, take it back if brother tells you to."

Under his cousin's angry eyes, Zhang Xi shyly put the cakes in the basket, Zhang Ren had to go back and tell Fu Lang about buying the paddy fields, and after talking to Fang Qing, he took his daughter home.

After his aunt left, Zhang Zelin embroidered the flowers in his hand and said, "It's true, my aunt. The family has spent a lot of money during this time, so why buy pastries?"

Seeing the angry man, Fang Qing squeezed his face, "Stop talking, my aunt bought it for you because she wanted it, who else would be willing to buy you such an expensive pastry."

"But……?"

"Okay, don't worry about it, I'm going to the field to catch lobsters, do you want to go with me?" She just thought of the crayfish she saw yesterday, and she was going to catch a few for dinner.

Zhang Zelin quickly put down the cloth in his hand, and took the basket to the room, "Wife master, wait, I'll go with you."

Wang Erzhu, the county magistrate, came to see the fish in Fang Qing’s field yesterday. She saw that the fish in the field were pleasing to the eye. People, "Young girl!"

"Aunt Erzhu, I'll bring Brother Lin to catch crayfish." Fang Qing greeted Wang Erzhu who was guarding the field.

Wang Erzhu was puzzled when she heard about the crayfish. She had been guarding the fish in the paddy field for so long, and she didn't even know that there was a fish whose name was crayfish. "What is a crayfish!"

Fang Qing saw the crayfish crawling by the side of the field, she grabbed one and threw it into the bucket. Zhang Zelin didn't know what it was when he heard his wife talking about crayfish. He wondered if it was called a kind of fish. The master picked up the "many-legged monster" and threw it into the bucket, "wife master, you can't eat this thing."

"Why can't I eat it?" Fang Qing picked up another one, raised his head and asked.

"This is a multi-legged monster that eats rice. When we see it, we usually throw it away." Zhang Zelin said seriously, while talking, he reached into the bucket, ready to throw the lobster out.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin!" Seeing that he was about to throw the lobster, Fang Qing quickly stopped his next move, "Brother Lin, who told you that the crayfish ate rice."

"The villagers all think so!" Zhang Zelin looked at his wife in surprise. How could the wife not know such a simple matter? No wonder the wife didn't know how to manage the paddy field and asked Wang Erzhu to take care of it.

If Fang Qing knew what was going on in his heart, he would spit out blood angrily. At first, he didn't know who had severe morning sickness and couldn't work in the fields while raising a baby, but now he even said that she didn't know how to manage the fields.

"Let me tell you! Crayfish don't eat rice. It eats the rice left over from the previous year and the algae in the water."

Zhang Zelin obviously didn't believe what the wife-owner said, and the wife-owner didn't know how to manage the paddy fields, how could she know about the pests in the fields.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Fang Qing wanted to pinch the center of his eyebrows with his hands, but the moment he raised his hands, he found that his hands were a little dirty and had to put them down, "Brother Lin, let's do this! How about I pick some up and cook them for you first?"

"No, I don't want to eat this thing." When he heard his wife's master asked him to eat multi-legged monsters, he refused without thinking.

"Really don't eat!"

"Don't eat, you can't eat this stuff."

"Okay! If you don't eat it, I'll make it when the time comes, and some people don't grab it from me."

"I won't!"

"Well, I won't grab it, I can eat it by myself!" Fang Qing continued to look for her crayfish after talking to him.

What Wang Erzhu originally said, when she heard the conversation between Fang Qing and his wife, she stood aside and listened in embarrassment. She thought to herself that the young people nowadays are much more open than their older generation. Flirt with Frank.

Because Erzhu often threw crayfish in the paddy field, Fang Qing and Zhang Zelin spent more than an hour picking up half a bucket, and she walked up to Wang Erzhu with the crayfish in the bucket, "Aunt Erzhu, you will go back later. When it’s time, catch two fish and go back to serve as a side dish.”

When Wang Erzhu heard that she told her to take the fish back to eat, she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Girl Qing, you can't take the fish back, Auntie, the fish in the paddy field should be kept for money."
