Koi benefit the whole village in modern times

Chapter 57 Catch Loach 2 (Third Watch) (Happy New Year's Eve!)

In the pond, children catch loaches and turtles, while adults catch fish directly.

A child caught a turtle, and the children's interest was quickly raised to the extreme.

Everyone in the pond was so excited to drill here and pick there that the adults had to shout, "Children, be careful of the fish in the pond, don't step on the fish in the mud."

Xiao Siquan, who had never played with mud, soon became involved in the fun.

He doesn't know how to catch loaches, but he follows the adults to catch fish.

He watched the adults catch three catties of fish into the bucket, and he also watched similar fish, caught them and put them in the bucket.

Most of the time, the fish was very slippery. After he caught it, the fish escaped from his hand again, and the muddy sewage splashed all over Xiao Siquan's body, even his face was covered with mud.

"Ha ha……"

This made some of the children laugh.

"Brother Koizumi, you can't even catch a fish. You've got mud all over your face, haha, how funny."

"Ah, ah, I see a field eel."

"Ha, Xiao Ding, did you misread it? It's an eel or a snake. Don't confuse the eel and the snake."

Eels won’t bite anymore, but snakes can bite people. It’s okay to be bitten by a non-venomous snake, but if bitten by a poisonous snake, it will be serious.

However, there are generally more non-venomous water snakes in the pond.

The child, Xiao Ding, is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

He said loudly, "Eel, not a snake, I saw it again. I'll catch it!"

Xiao Siquan walked over immediately, he also wanted to see what the eel looked like and how it was different from a snake.

Field eels are very good at drilling mud, maybe people startled it, and it got into the mud all at once.

However, it is obvious that Xiao Ding is also very good at catching eels. According to the mud hole drilled by the eels, he pulled out the mud with two or three hands. After seeing the shadow of the eels, he reached out and caught the eels.

He caught the rice field eel and said loudly, "Look, I caught it, it must be a rice field eel."

Xiao Siquan stared at the eel in Xiaoding's hand.

Is this an eel?It obviously looks like a snake.Except for the yellowish color of the skin, it doesn't look much different from a snake at all.

Xiao Ding looked at Xiao Siquan staring at the rice field eel in his hand, and asked suspiciously, "Brother Xiaoquan, do you want this rice field eel? Or, I'll give this rice field eel to you?"

Xiao Siquan asked hesitantly, "Don't you need rice field eels? Can't rice field eels be sold for money?"

Children in rural areas attach great importance to money, but they are also very happy with or without money.

Xiao Ding said, "If Brother Koizumi wants this eel, I will give it to you directly."

Anyway, the things found in the mud pond are not very precious.

Even if his parents knew that he gave the rice field eel to Xiao Siquan, they would approve of it.

Xiao Siquan came down to catch the loach, but he didn't catch the loach, so he helped catch the fish, and the fish escaped from his hands. He really wanted this eel.

Not only the eel, but also the turtle, he also wanted it.

However, he was too embarrassed to speak.

Xiao Siquan stretched out his hand, wanting to take the rice field eel, but Xiao Ding just wanted to hand it over, when he thought of something, he said towards the shore, "I'd better put it in the bucket, and when you go back, just carry it back. "

Xiao Siquan, "..."

Xiao Jinli, who was watching from the edge of the pond, held back a smile.

Haha, everyone is deeply impressed by Xiao Siquan's incompetence.

The adults worked in the pond for a long time, and after getting almost all the fish, Xiao Dachun started to shout, "Children, did you catch the loach, did you get the pocket money? I'm going to put the water back."

There are still thousands of fish in the pond, so we can't dry it for too long, otherwise, these fish will lack oxygen and find it difficult to survive.

The adults also shouted, "Children, put the water back, come up."

Hearing the shouts of the adults, the children went ashore one after another with unsatisfied desires.

However, the children went down and gained a lot.

As for loaches, most of the children were caught, three or four were missing, and more than a dozen were more.

Then, crabs, small snails, eels, soft-shelled turtles, etc. were all caught.

Xiao Jinli collects these loaches by strip, fifty cents a piece, um, the price is actually on the high side.

But she is willing to give these children pocket money, and the adults will also watch the fun.

Xiaoqiang came over and asked, "Little koi, my turtle, do you want it?"

Xiao Jinli looked at the heavy-looking turtle and said, "Do you want it at home?"

Xiaoqiang shook his head and said, "I want to give it to you!"

Xiao Jinli didn't refuse either, "Okay, then I'll take it. I'll weigh it at home later, and give it to you at the price in Wei Town."

Xiaoqiang didn't refuse either, he nodded and said, "Okay. Then I'll put this turtle in your bucket."

"Ah."

Xiao Jinli also looked at Xiao Ding and said, "Brother Ding, I will weigh this eel at home and give it to you according to the price."

Xiaoding's eyes lit up and he said, "Okay, thank you, little koi!"

Children are hungry for their pocket money.

Xiao Ding is also an exception.

Although this eel was given to Xiao Siquan, if Xiao Jinli was willing to give money, he would not refuse.

Big deal, when the time comes to collect money, he will charge less.

Xiao Siquan went straight home with a big bucket of wild things.

But from time to time his eyes glanced at the contents of the bucket.

Unexpectedly, opening ponds in the countryside would be so interesting.

After returning home, there was a small pool made of cement in the yard.

This small pool was made because Xiao Jinli likes to eat fish.

Xiao Junxuan saw Xiao Siquan come back with a bucket, and asked with a smile, "Is there fish in this bucket?"

Xiao Siquan said, "It's loaches, eels and soft-shelled turtles!"

"Ha, there are all these things!" Xiao Junxuan was a little puzzled.

Xiao Siquan explained, "These things were bought by my sister and those children."

"Bought it?" Xiao Junxuan was a little surprised, "All these things!"

"Yes. My sister said she wanted to eat loach and diamond tofu, and she bought it with the children for fifty cents."

Hearing what Xiao Siquan said, Xiao Junxuan immediately understood.

He smiled and said, "Oh, so my sister wants to give the children some pocket money."

Xiao Siquan, who has never been short of money, asked a little strangely, "Why does everyone say that? Is it true that the children are short of pocket money?"

Xiao Junxuan nodded and said, "That's right. Every penny earned by rural parents is not easy, and every penny is used carefully. Usually it's fine, and generally they don't give pocket money to their children. If children want to use money, they can do it themselves Think of ways. For example, looking for herbs, picking up garbage, etc., as long as there is no stealing or snatching, life is safe, and most parents are at ease."

Xiao Siquan, "..." It turns out that it is really difficult for the children to ask for pocket money.

He used to be really shallow, thinking that all families have a certain plan for money, and the same is true for the pocket money for the children.

Only now did I know that many places were not what he thought they were.
