Back to 80s: It's not easy to be a group favorite

Chapter 4 Are There Really Pearls?

In the end, Li Da was so troubled by his younger brother that he had no choice but to take his younger brother home.

He comforted himself, there was nothing to see anyway, it was just fishing!
That being said, he looked back at the crowd on the pond ridge reluctantly as he walked.

It was so easy to have something exciting to watch, but it didn't last long, which is too much!

Li Er didn't care about these things, and walked for a while with the big clam shell, feeling that it was very difficult and inconvenient to walk, so he stuffed it to his brother, "Brother, hold it! I can't walk anymore!"

Li Da wanted to cry, if he had known this, he wouldn't have brought this kid to watch the fun!

I didn't see anything and didn't say anything, and I brought such a worthless thing home, what if my dad still remembered to let himself do the work to lift the dung into the field?

I should play for a while, and it's safer to go home when it's almost time to eat.

If I had known earlier, it would be better to take Li Shaoyun with me, at least she wouldn't go home halfway, and even if she wanted to go home, she could go by herself.

Otherwise, you can watch the fun by yourself!
What a misstep!

After thinking about it, he patiently persuaded his younger brother, trying to change the boy's mind, "Look, we just watched for a while, but we didn't see anything, and the fish was caught in a while, and there are shrimps, there must be something better than this." Yes, can't we take it again?"

Li Er was very stubborn and said that he liked this.

"Why don't you go back by yourself? I haven't seen enough!" Li Da discussed with his younger brother.

Now that he has reached the village, he is not far from home, so he is relieved.

"I don't, I can't hold it!" Li Er said willfully.

Li Da stretched out his foot to see his younger brother's small figure, put it down after thinking about it, then stretched out his hand again, wanting to hit his younger brother twice, but he still didn't do it.

Taking a deep breath, Li Da comforted himself, he is a good brother, he must!
"Don't follow me next time! What a follower! I haven't seen any excitement, and I have to take you back! I'm so annoying!" Li Da yelled at his brother angrily.

Li Er had an innocent face, as if he was a little strange and puzzled by his brother's anger, "You were the one who dragged me just now!"

The implication is that it's not that he wants to come, but that my brother insists on taking him.

Li Da: "..." How angry!

After Li Da got angry, he honestly took his brother home.

There is no way, this kid has been weak and sick since he was a child, and his family has raised him very carefully, for fear that something will happen to him.

In the past two years, he has only improved slightly, and he has become stronger, and he is also used to caring for this younger brother.

In the past few years, JH has paid close attention to fertility, and it is impossible to conceive in the future!

As the youngest son of the old Li family's generation, he is very favored.

Li Da was already six years old when this kid was born, and it can be regarded as watching his younger brother grow up, he got used to it naturally, and he had already habitually let his frail younger brother go without an adult's warning.

The two brothers returned home one after the other.

One elated, one listless.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Li Er started to yell, "Sister, sister! I took a big pearl!"

Li Da: "..."

Is this kid out of his mind?
Li Shaoyun came out from the main room, startled, "Pearl?! Where did it come from?"

Haven’t heard of pearls being produced in this place?
Li Da couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "He's talking nonsense! Where did the pearls come from?"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he raised the big blue clam shell in his hand, "Can there be pearls with this thing? Children are so naive!"

He muttered in a low voice, "It's a beautiful idea. If it's so easy to get pearls, then we won't be rich?"

Li Shaoyun: "..." It sounds like you are not a child!
In the main room, I heard my grandson yelling, and Grandma Li also came out. Grandma Li smiled, "Oh! My good grandson brought home the pearls? Not bad!"

Li Da said, I don't want to say anything!

Li Shaoyun covered his nose, "This thing smells so fishy! It smells so bad! Are there really pearls in it?"

At least she doesn't believe it!
She also knew that grandma didn't believe it, but she was just teasing her younger brother.

I don't want Li Er to be very serious, nodding his head, "Yeah! There are pearls! Sister, cut them open! Let's eat meat."

Li Shaoyun: "..." So do you want clam meat or pearls?

She stretched out her hand to take what was in Li Da's hand, looked at the dirty shell, and put it down again.

Simply don't bother the second master, "Brother, put it over there, let's get some water to wash! It's really dirty!"

At this moment, Dad Li didn't know where he was going. Li Da looked carefully, but he couldn't find him.

Seeing that the small pile of chicken manure on the side of the yard was gone, he was relieved, and suddenly he was happy, and he didn't have to work anymore!
He no longer rejected the sister's assignment, "Okay! I'll put it over there and get some water to wash it!"

He fumbled left and right, took the clam shells to a brick by the yard and put them down, scooped up some water and rinsed them, "It's done! It's clean!"

Li Shaoyun glanced at it dissatisfied, "It's still so dirty! How do we cut it open? With a kitchen knife?"

Li Da glanced at his sister, "What can I do without a kitchen knife?"

He was a little impatient just now, but now he is enthusiastic, "I'll get the kitchen knife!"

Grandpa Li came over, "It's just like you, don't let the kitchen knife be chopped up by you in a while!"

Reaching out to take the kitchen knife in the hand of the eldest grandson, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way."

Grandpa and grandson are here thinking about how to open clam shells, and Dad Li is back.

Putting down the dung bag in his hand, Dad Li also eagerly wanted to join.

Pushed away by Grandpa Li in disgust, "Get up! Let's do it ourselves! How can a small clam shell not be opened?"

Father Li could only watch aggrievedly.

I saw Grandpa Li stretched his posture, aiming at the gap on the edge of the clam shell, and slashed down, "Huh? It's really hard! It's a bit strong!"

Dad Li couldn't help it anymore, "Dad, can you do it? How about I come?"

Grandpa Li rolled his eyes at his son, how could he speak!
Not good!
"Go! Isn't it trivial to open a clam shell?"

Grandpa Li adjusted his posture, and this time he cut it open smoothly, "Don't tell me, this meat is quite white and tender! Can I eat it?"

Grandpa Li turned to look at his wife.

Grandma Li's cooking skills are average, and she is also vague, "I don't know, no one in our village has eaten this stuff, right?"

Li Shaoyun sighed, he didn't know how to eat, and he was tossing about with such enthusiasm.

But in her memory, the meat of river mussels is usually khaki. Why is the meat of this clam shell so white and tender?
strangeness.

"Why don't you just feed the ducks! You don't even know how to make this stuff, and if you don't do it well, it will waste oil and firewood!" Grandpa Li suggested.

In addition to raising a few chickens, the Li family also raised two ducks.

Li Er quit, "I want to eat meat!"

He looked greedily at the white and tender mussel meat, raised his small face and looked at Li Shaoyun begging, "Sister, you cook it! It's delicious!"

Li Shaoyun wanted to help her forehead, how did you know that your sister could do this?

Looking at his cute appearance, I couldn't bear to refuse after all, and suddenly had an idea, "Didn't you say there are pearls? We haven't seen the pearls yet?"

Li Er's eyes lit up, "That's right! Grandpa, cut it quickly! Those with pearls!"

Grandpa Li: ...

Okay, anyway, it's just another knife!
The tip of the knife slanted, "Huh?"
