Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 76
When Zhou Zhi came to the window, he saw that there were not many lights on in the dormitory of the supply and marketing cooperative, so he thought for a while, "Let's go to the town to eat later, and I'll treat you to fried dough sticks."

"Then what are we doing now?"

"Go for a run on the playground?"

"Running is not fun."

"Then run by the river?"

"go!"

The two people came down from the upstairs, one in front of the other in a running posture, and slipped out from the back door of the school, but not in the direction of the supply and marketing cooperative dormitory, but through the woods and ran down a ditch.

After a while, the two ran to the edge of the Yangtze River, and the genius was just able to make people distinguish the river from the bank.

The riverside is full of sandy land. Farmers took advantage of the retreated beach to plant peas and broad beans. Now the peas are budding and the broad beans have pods.

"Broad beans mixed with wild onions and zucchini, a perfect match." Zhou Zhi said as he looked at the tender broad beans.

"Then...on the hour?" The fourth child never knew what it means to be polite.

"Forget it, it's not impossible to buy it in the town." In the previous life, Zhou Zhi had already done it without any discussion, but now he shook his head and continued to run forward slowly: "Uncle Farmer works hard."

"You have changed, Elbow." The fourth child followed behind, shaking his head while running: "I don't know who has been thinking about the sparrow in the teaching building for several years... Elbow, yesterday I wanted to ask if Jiang Shuyi likes you, with you?"

"Call me sister, no big or small." Zhou Zhi ran forward all the way: "Look, luckily we didn't do anything, and there are farmer uncles who have risen up to pour manure. If you are caught stealing broad beans, you will definitely not be able to run away and beat you up."

"Then let's get up earlier next time... and what's my name, I was born in September, otherwise I should be in the same grade as you... Don't talk nonsense, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"I told you last night that we are old tablemates."

"Cut! It's just my old deskmate for half a month. I change deskmates every Monday. I haven't seen any girl treat me like this..."

"That's your problem, not mine."

"..."

The two ran across the bean field one after another, and came to a wild beach, where there were tufts of thatch everywhere.

At this moment, under a piece of fresh grass ahead, something seemed to hear the footsteps of the two, and hid rustlingly.

"Rabbit!" "Pheasant!"

The two boars yelled out in unison, jumped away tacitly, and blocked the place one by one.

"Eh, that's not right!" If it was the other two, he would have jumped out and run away by now, so he wouldn't have left a living for the two of them, and now there is no movement inside.

"What a trick! Didn't even run away!" The fourth child jumped on it directly, regardless of the wet dew on the fresh grass in the morning.

Zhou Zhi looked around, holding a casually picked stone in his hand, usually at this time when the prey was running away desperately, he had to make up the knife at any time.

Although it is generally not enough, it does not affect the fun.

"Oh, big snake!" The fourth child who had just thrown himself down on the grass jumped up all of a sudden.

"Snake, you are so big, no matter how many months it is now, the snake is still coiled!"

"I didn't lie to you, slippery!"

Zhou Zhi looked around: "You stay here, wait for me."

He ran back to the bean field, took out two bamboo poles from the bamboo pole shed where the farmer planned to build a bean shelf in summer, and ran back: "Come on!"

When the two of them were struggling to push the grass away with a pole, Zhou Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "I'm getting rich!"

"Catfish?!" The fourth child looked at the big guy inexplicably: "Fish will come ashore? Is this far away from the water's edge?!"

"Catfish can come ashore, and they can catch mice. Put it on and wear it... No, this rod is too thin..."

This big catfish weighed more than 30 kilograms. Zhou Zhi went to someone's shed to find a piece of wood for the shed, and when he came back, he passed the gills through the big catfish's mouth: "Hahaha...today Jiang Shenye treats you!"

The fourth child is dirty and sloppy now, but he is also very happy: "My sister is coming today, this fish is enough for two meals! Let's go and bring it back!"

The two carried the big fish back one by one, this time the fourth child was in front and behind, and the tip of the tail of the big fish in the middle was still dragging on the ground.

When I returned to the central school, the sky was already bright, and the lady had already woken up, when I heard the giggling laughter of the two people downstairs coming from the room to the corridor: "I ran away early in the morning... ouch, you picked one What came back?!"

Zhou Zhi and the fourth child didn't bother to pick the fish upstairs, so they found a big basin in the kitchen and threw the fish into it.

The big pot is for the school students to cook lunch and wash vegetables, so the big catfish has to be coiled in it.

The lady has already come down: "Such a big fish! Where did you get it?!"

"We went out for a run to pick it up, and we found it hiding in the grass!" The fourth child was very proud.

"Look at your body! Hurry up and change it!"

"No need, I have to go up the mountain to dig vegetables in a while." Zhou Zhi stopped: "I'll go see if I feel comfortable..."

Leaving the eldest lady and the fourth child to scoop water into the basin downstairs to raise fish, Zhou Zhi ran upstairs to the window, only to see that Jiang Shuyi had already woken up and was rinsing at the sink. There is a red pot.

Zhou Zhi put his finger in his mouth and whistled. Jiang Shuyi heard it, raised his head, and waved to Zhou Zhi with a toothbrush.

Zhou Zhi also waved to Jiang Shuyi, picked up the backpack he had prepared yesterday and went downstairs: "The fourth is leaving, ma'am, let's go!"

"What are you in a hurry for?! Haven't you eaten breakfast yet?" The lady doesn't allow children to skip breakfast.

"Let's go to the town to eat!" Zhou Zhi said.

"It's a waste of money again!" The lady said angrily, "Come back early and eat fish!"

After a while, the two boars came back, and there was another Jiang Shuyi beside them.

"Eh? Why are you back again?" The lady was still adding water to the basin.

"Morning, Mr. Su, I heard from Zhou Zhi that he caught a big fish. I'll come and see it."

Jiang Shuyi moved her body to the basin: "This fish is so scary! It's so ugly!"

The big catfish coming up from the river has obvious piebald spots, no scales, big head and big belly, so it's normal for girls to be scared.

"Then don't watch it, and watch it when you get back to the dinner table." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "Ma'am, we really set out this time!"

"You take some money..." Waiting for the lady to lower her head and take out a few dollars from her trouser pocket, she found that there was no one in the kitchen.

The town has become lively, and many farmers who have gone to the city to buy local products have begun to occupy land along the street.

Zhou Zhi came to a breakfast shop with a basket on his back: "The shopkeeper, three bowls of soy milk, two sweet glutinous rice cakes, one salty glutinous rice cake, three deep-fried dough sticks, and three bubble cakes!"

The fried glutinous rice cakes in southern Sichuan are not fried with pounded glutinous rice cakes, but glutinous rice squeezed into a wooden frame, cut out and fried. It is said that the rice balls that are close together are more suitable.

There are two flavors, sweet and salty. The sweet one is round with sweet bean paste in the middle, and the salty one is square with salt and pepper.

The taste is good, and none of the three people took one of the glutinous rice cakes, but tore them apart and ate them separately, so that everyone could have every taste.

Paoba is rice cake steamed with rice milk.

Zhou Zhi and the fourth child swallowed the rice cake in two bites.

Jiang Shuyi couldn't bear to eat them so fast, so she just took them and set off, eating while walking.

Along an alley from the street of Laochang Town, the three of them came to the road from Jiachuan, went up the hillside along the road on the outer wall of Tianhua Company, walked three to four hundred meters, and came to At the foot of the hill on the outskirts of the town.

The lower part of the hill is mainly terraced fields, and the half-mountain area is turned into a soil slope, where rapeseed and beans are mainly planted, and further up are some forests, stone slopes, and a substation on the top.

There was a creek flowing obliquely from nowhere, and Lao Si was familiar with the way. Just where the creek crossed the path, he turned to the creek and walked up the ditch.

The scenery along the way is also good, and there are many small birds, most of which are sparrows, soil thrushes and chirping sparrows.

"Here, here!" The fourth child found a wetland beside a ditch: "There are so many here!"

"Pluck the ears!" This is a common dish on the tables of Jiachuan people, and Jiang Shuyi certainly knows it.

"Is Shu Yi afraid of getting her shoes dirty?"

"afraid!"

Zhou Zhi smiled: "Then we'll dig, and you'll be in charge of washing by the water."

Zheer roots are the most tender on the wetlands. Zhou Zhi and the fourth child started to work. Jiang Shuyi found the water gun made by the fourth child from the back basket, and stood on the rocks in the water to play.

"Comfortable!"

"Eh!"

"The boat is coming down!"

"What?" Jiang Shuyi felt strange, this brook can be crossed in one jump, how could it be possible to come to the boat?

Then Jiang Shuyi saw a green boat floating down. It was made of a ginger leaf with two ends pierced with bamboo sticks. Inside the leaf boat was a bunch of fresh and tender Zheer roots.

"It turned out to be such a boat." Jiang Shuyi couldn't help laughing, and used a bamboo water gun to block the leaf boat between two stones: "I'll wash it."

The part of Zheergen on the muddy ground is just young leaves, and the bottom is a net of roots. Zhou Zhi and Lao Si went all the way through the roots and got a lot.

"Zhou Zhi, is there any fish in this creek?" Although Jiang Shuyi grew up in Changzhen, she had never played like this before, and felt novelty in everything she saw.

"Yes, there are small cutting boards, fire slices, and loach." The fourth child replied: "But we have to wait until summer when the water is heavy to catch them with a shauji. If we are lucky, we can catch eels and crucian carp."

"Shu Yi, if you just touch the mud under the water, you might gain something." Zhou Zhi encouraged.

Jiang Shuyi put Zheergen in the back basket, reached out and touched the rocks under his feet, as if he had caught a handful of small stones, and when he took them out of the water, he said, "Ah! It's a small shell!"

"Small mussels, don't look at the ones here that are only as big as a thumb. They can grow to two or three catties each in the fish pond at the foot of the mountain."

"How big is that?"

Zhou Zhi made a hand gesture: "It's so big!"

"Can that be eaten?"

"Uh... no one in Jiachuan eats it, I only know that there are people in Jiangnan who like it."

"Can I take this home and keep it? It's like Mr. Su's way of raising fire tablets. I want to keep it too."

"The school won't agree to keep this in the dormitory." Zhou Zhi thought for a while: "But it's okay to keep it at home and come back to watch it once a week. Burning fire tablets is not afraid of lack of oxygen. You can raise it in a bowl, but you can only raise one, because This fish loves to fight."

"One is fine."

"One thing...I'll think of a way...then you come here first!"

"Okay!" This time Jiang Shuyi was not afraid of getting her shoes dirty.
