My village can't be like this

Chapter 516: Grasping the Stone Pound

"Godfather, my uncle is here, and grandma told you to go back."

When Zhang An was wandering around, Li Yao ran over and found him.

The uncle he meant was Ding Yi. As soon as he finished talking to Zhang An, he went to play somewhere else with his friends.

Zhang An originally planned to go shopping outside, but he had to go back as soon as Ding arrived.

When he returned home, Zhang An discovered that it was not just Ding Yi who came, but the whole family.

"Uncle and auntie, Happy New Year to Grandpa Ding. Who made us a child? We cry so sadly."

When Zhang An just walked in, he heard the cry of the eldest young master of the Ding family.

"Don't worry about him. He slept all the way when he came here. When he woke up, he started to toss people. He is over half a year old and not well-behaved at all. Look at your Siqi, he is so well-behaved that it makes people worry."

It is estimated that the little guy has been doing this all the time, which has worn away Ding Yi's patience. Now he and Li Li are no longer like they were before, always trying to comfort him whenever he starts crying.

Now the two of them don't even look at her, let alone coax her. They are just holding her and coaxing her, but it has no effect at all.

"Oh, you're a kid. If you don't make a fuss now, why will you make a fuss? Come on, let us coax our brother."

Zhang An hugged little Siqi and came close to Ding Yi's mother. Little Siqi didn't even need to say hello. When she saw Ding Zijie, she started "babbling" and talking in baby talk.

Don't tell me, it's quite effective. Just like last time, Ding Zizai stopped crying immediately after hearing little Siqi communicating with him in baby talk. He blew bubbles in his nose and said "beep" to little Siqi. Yeah." He was angry.

"Mom, do you believe it this time? Little Siqi is more effective than our whole family."

It turned out that after Ding Yi and the others went back last time, they told Xiaozi's grandmother about this, but his mother didn't really believe it.

"It's true. It seems that this kid has his own way. Although we can't understand it, they can understand it themselves."

Aunt Ding was quite surprised when she saw it. She had been coaxing him for a long time, but her grandson just kept crying. In the end, little Siqi coaxed him away with a few babbling words.

"Anyway, the baby has been weaned. From now on, mommy will bring him over and take care of grandpa together, so he will be very quiet."

The old man of the Ding family must come to Changqing Village. Ding Yi spent a lot of effort renovating the old house of Zhang An's family a few years ago.

However, their family was definitely worried about letting Mr. Ding come here alone, and they definitely had to have someone come over to take care of him together. After all, the old man was old, and he would definitely not be at ease without his own family members watching over him.

Ding Yi and Li Li are busy with supermarket affairs. Their plan this year is to open more chain stores, so they weaned the baby early, and they will definitely not have time to take care of it.

So this matter will ultimately fall on Ding Yi's parents.

Mr. Ding watched his great-grandson playing happily with little Siqi. He didn't even sit on the bench and happily came to the side of the two little guys.

"Come Si Qi, this is the New Year's money given to you by Grandpa Zu, take it quickly."

The old man took out a red envelope from his pocket and put it in Xiao Siqi's arms.

"Grandpa Ding, how embarrassed are you that we haven't even gone to pay homage to you in the new year?"

Zhang An is somewhat embarrassed. Although according to his relationship with Ding Yi, the old man is their elder, and it is reasonable for the elder to give the younger generation lucky money, but usually he has to come to visit to pay New Year's greetings before he can get the red envelope.

But now they haven't taken little Siqi to pay New Year's greetings to the old man. Instead, the old man rushed over to give the little guy new year's money, which is really embarrassing to say.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? I gave this New Year's money to Xiao Siqi. Why are you embarrassed? Besides, we are far apart. It's so troublesome for you to run around. There will be more opportunities in the future. When the time comes, Xiao Siqi Si Qi can run and jump, but I have to wait for him to come and wish my old man New Year’s greetings.”

The old man likes the two little guys very much. For Ding Zizhe, he is their great-grandson, and he is close to and fond of them from the bottom of his heart.

As for Xiao Siqi, in addition to his relationship with Zhang An, this little guy has a quality that makes people like him from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, Zhang An, we're here today. On the one hand, we're here because there are so many people in the village, so we're here to take a look around. On the other hand, we want to tell you that starting tomorrow, I'll have people bring things over."

Later, Ding Yi told Zhang An about the reason for coming here this time.

They originally wanted to move here years ago, but it had been snowing for a long time at that time, and the house had just been cleaned up, so people could not move in immediately, so they had to wait for a while.

So their family still celebrated the New Year in the city and waited until the New Year to discuss this matter.

The weather has been pretty good these days. There is some sunshine every day, but it is not too hot.

The old man couldn't stay at home, so he would go downstairs for a walk every day.

But I just walked around on my own, but couldn't find anyone I could talk to.

There are actually quite a few elderly people in their community, but the old man just came here not long ago and knows few of them.

So Ding Yi thought about moving here as soon as possible. There were many elderly people in the village, and they were all very enthusiastic. Moreover, there was also Chen Ze's grandfather, an old friend of the old man, who would keep the old man company after he moved here.

So when the family came to the village to play, I told Zhang An about this incident. After all, the house belonged to Zhang An's family. Although the two of them had a good relationship, they had to say hello both emotionally and rationally.

"If you don't say anything, just ask someone to pull you over. Anyway, the key is with you. If you need help, just tell me. Anyway, I've always been in the village."

After temporarily lending the house to Ding Yi, Zhang An changed the locks and gave him all the keys.

"There's nothing I can do to help. There are so many employees in the supermarket. I'll just arrange for a few people to do it when the time comes."

Ding Yi is worthy of being a boss, he looks like a capitalist. The employees in his supermarket not only have to work in the supermarket, but also have to be arranged by him to do these things.

But none of his employees were reluctant, because the salary offered by this guy was very high, and there were few places in the county that offered higher wages than his supermarket.

"By the way, I remember there are a few boxes of bumble bees in the cherry forest. When you have time, you can move them a little. Although your bees are quite docile, my mother has always been afraid of these things."

"It's simple. I'll just go over and move them down at night. I'll also catch all the stone pounds kept in the yard, so as not to disturb Grandpa Ding when he sleeps at night."

Zhang An had previously raised some stone pounds in a small pond in the yard of his old house. Although he didn't take care of them much, they also multiplied a lot.

This thing is quite quiet during the day, but at night it's like a concert, very noisy.

"What's the matter? Just let them continue to be raised there."

Since raising a stone pound, Ding Yi has never slept in an old house, and has no idea how valuable a small speaker is at night.

"That thing is really noisy at night. When Zhou Yang's family still lived in the old house, you could hear it from so far away. I'd better get rid of it. After it is cleared, Grandpa Ding can also raise a few in the yard. Fish play.”

Although the pond is not very beautiful, it is definitely a natural circulation fish pond. Live water flows in every day, and the water can be changed automatically. It is very worry-free when raising fish.

Afterwards, Zhang An accompanied Ding Yi and his family for a walk in the village. Mr. Ding did not go because he went to find Mr. Chen.

Until the afternoon, Wang Fang and Wu Qiuping prepared meals early at home. Originally, we were going to be vegetarian today, but when we have guests coming, we don’t have to be so taboo, and it’s already considered fun after we’ve had it in the morning.

"Zhang An, uncle and aunt, it's getting late, so we'll go back first."

After finishing the meal, Ding Yi and his family were ready to go back without taking a long rest.

"Xiao Ding, why don't you go back and stay here tonight? It's not like we don't have room at home anyway."

Before Zhang An opened his mouth, Wang Fang had already started to have guests. Usually she and Wu Qiuping were good company, but today with the addition of Ding Yi's mother, they became even more harmonious.

"Auntie, you don't need to stay. We are going back today to pack up our things, and then arrange for someone to deliver them over tomorrow. When we move here in a few days, we will definitely be disturbed every day."

When Ding Yi said this, Wang Fang stopped trying to stay.

Not long after, it was already dark, and Zhang An did not go to the old house to move the beehives.

Because he had to go get the stone pounds back tomorrow, Zhang An thought about setting up a net in his fish pond to separate an area, and then raise the stone pounds separately, so he waited to solve it together tomorrow.

The next morning, Zhang An got up early and found out the net used to trap fish. He and Zhang Jianguo and his son worked for a long time to create a small area in the fish pond.

After finishing the meal, I went out carrying a few buckets.

"Dad, what are you going to catch? Take me with you."

As soon as Zhang An went out, he met little Li Yao. When the little guy saw Zhang An wearing a half-man-high fishing suit and carrying a bucket, he thought Zhang An was going out to catch something.

Li Yao is now almost ten years old. No matter what he catches, as long as he goes out into the wild, he is very interested.

"Okay, if you want to go, just go."

Before Zhang An opened his mouth, little Li Yao had already taken two buckets from his hands, with such a posture that it was impossible not to agree.

Little Li Yao was so happy that he got the permission. He followed Zhang An with a bucket in his hands.

Moreover, this guy would shout out whenever he saw his friends. When he shouted, a lot of dolls would follow Zhang An.

"Dad, why are you here? Is there anything I can catch here?"

Arriving at the door of the old house, little Li Yao asked doubtfully. At first, he thought it was in the fields outside.

"Why, I regret coming here. If you regret it, you can go and play by yourself."

After Zhang An opened the courtyard door, he looked at these little guys with a half-smile.

"That's not possible. Godfather, you must be doing something when you come here. Of course we have to help."

Li Yao said like a kid, and the group of little guys behind him also echoed.

Zhang Bao and the other older children were away, so little Li Yao seemed to have become a baby boss.

"If you want to help me, then come in with me."

Arriving at the edge of the pool, Zhang An took off the cover covering the pool.

Because they are raising stone ponds, the water is not deep enough, only about half of the pond.

"Wow, what a big frog, godfather, are we here to catch these frogs?"

After opening the cover, Li Yao saw the stone scales in the pool weighing about one kilogram, and he immediately exclaimed.

"No, these are not frogs, they are stone pounds. Frogs cannot grow this big."

Little Li Yao didn't know the stone pound, but the kids in the village did. After all, no one had caught a few.

"Okay, wait until I drain the water inside. What we are going to catch today are these stone pounds."

Although the water in the pond was only half deep, and Zhang An was wearing a fishing suit, he still had to drain it.

Otherwise, these stone pounds will get into the water later, and it will take most of the day to fish them out.

Then Zhang An blocked the water inlet and opened all the drains. The water inside flowed into the ditch outside.

After about ten minutes, there was not much water left in it, and it was estimated that only the insteps of Zhang An's feet could be submerged.

Shi Ping, who had been lurking in the water just now, was now all exposed.

You don't know it by looking at it, but you are shocked when you see it. The pond is actually densely packed with stone pounds, large and small.

"It's too small inside. I can go down alone. You just wait above. After I catch them, you should close the lid of the bucket and don't let any of them escape."

The pond was dug quite deep, and these dolls might not even be able to see their heads when they went down, and none of them were wearing water shoes. There was no way Zhang An would let them go down.

"Okay, Uncle An, we understand, please hurry up and catch him."

Before Zhang An was in a hurry, a group of little guys were already impatient, because regardless of whether they were boys or girls, they were all very interested in these things.

"Okay, okay, I'll catch you right now."

Seeing a bunch of children urging him, Zhang An jumped directly into the pool.

In order to give these children a sense of participation, Zhang An did not take down the bucket, but grabbed the stone scale and took it out and placed it in the bucket.

Shi Ping's jumping ability was very good. As soon as Zhang An threw it into the bucket, he started to resist and was ready to jump out.

But the little guys above couldn't get their wish. As soon as Zhang An threw it in, they quickly closed the lid of the bucket and shouted excitedly one by one.

Although except for Li Yao and a relatively young child, everyone else had caught stone pounds, but they were only a few, and they might not be able to catch them.

Now when I see that this place is densely packed with stone pounds, and they are bigger than any they have ever caught, how can I not be excited?

"Quick, quick, one of them ran out, catch it quickly."

Even though there were so many children watching, a stone pound escaped.

Suddenly, several little guys started flopping against the stone pound in the yard.

Although this stone pound jumped very well, the children in the village were very wild, and they were arrested and brought to justice within a short time.
