My village can't be like this

Chapter 603 Huang Ming's New Idea
When Zhang An and Ding Yi were squatting on the ground looking for female fireflies, the two little guys who were trying hard to catch fireflies not far away suddenly laughed.

"Dad, hehehe~~~"

The two little brothers were laughing and calling for their dad.

Zhang An and Ding Yi thought something had happened, so they looked up and found that Xiao Siqi was holding a frog in his hand.

Although Ding Zijie didn't catch it, he would poke the frog in Xiao Siqi's hand with his chubby little fingers from time to time, and then he became even happier, even happier than if he had caught it himself.

"How did you catch this?"

Looking at the little frog in his son's hand, Zhang An held his forehead and said helplessly.

He didn't expect that his son had become so wild and started causing trouble at such a young age.

Although frogs are not difficult to catch, they are not that easy to catch either.

You have to know that they are timid by nature. They will jump away before people get close to them. Even Zhang Tie and his friends have to work hard to catch them.

So he couldn't understand how two children, who were barely over one year old, managed to catch this thing that could run and jump. It couldn't be that they were playing with it happily and the frog jumped into their hands.

But what Zhang An didn't know was that this was indeed the case. The two little guys were having fun, but the little frog insisted on jumping into little Siqi's arms.

Fortunately, they are both exposed to these things frequently. If they were children from the city, they would have been scared to tears.

The two little guys got the frogs, just like they got a new toy. They didn’t even bother catching fireflies. They just huddled together, whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about.

"Okay, okay, it's time to let it go. If you keep playing with it, you'll kill it."

After the two brothers played with the frog for a while, Zhang An walked over and asked them to let it go.

Now that autumn is halfway over, the beginning of winter will arrive in another month.

A few months ago, these guys who held all-night concerts in the fields every night had already started preparing a hiding place.

They have eaten a lot of insects in the past summer and now have a lot of fat in their bodies. As soon as winter comes, they will hibernate in their holes.

Basically, as long as the frogs develop normally and do not encounter natural enemies such as snakes during this period, they can survive the year intact.

Of course, the one in Xiao Siqi's hand probably cannot complete hibernation normally.

Because it is so thin, it looks like it has just transformed from a tadpole.

It was for this reason that Zhang An let his son let it go. If it continued to be toyed with, it would soon be torn to death by the excessive sweat of their hands.

People are already pitiful enough, and if they are played to death, they will be even more pitiful.

Although little Siqi was reluctant, he still chose to listen to his father and let go of the little frog.

The little creature, which was originally wilted, soon disappeared in the grass and forest beside the ridge of the field.

Because they had just played with frogs for a long time, the two little guys' hands were now covered with the frogs' sticky body fluids.

Feeling uncomfortable on his hands, the little guy immediately wanted to wipe them clean by grabbing his clothes.

"Don't wipe it on your clothes. If your mom sees you when you get home, don't cry when she gets beaten."

This stuff has a strong and fishy smell, and you can smell it when you put it on your clothes.

Originally, during the day, Su Ying gave the little guy a lesson because he was so good at getting his clothes dirty.

If he rubs it on, he will definitely get beaten up when he goes back, and even Zhang An won't be able to escape.

So when Zhang An saw this, he quickly stopped the little guy and took them to the river to wash their hands.

The little ones' interest came and went quickly. Just now they were clamoring to catch fireflies, but now after being interrupted by a little frog, they had already forgotten about the fireflies.

There were a lot of people on the riverside tonight, and it was lively everywhere. Zhang An didn't plan to go back too early.

So the two of them held the child's hand again and continued to swim in the river.

"I didn't expect that this was just a wasteland before, but now it has been used."

When they arrived at Niuguntang, Ding Yi looked at the crowded dam and said.

This is where Ding Yi and his friends had a picnic and barbecue when they first came to Zhang An's house.

In the past, this place was just a field of wild grass, and because some people in the village grazed cattle here, you might see a few piles of dried cow dung.

But now it’s different. I don’t know when a stake has been planted here, with a very large incandescent lamp hanging on it.

At this moment, the dim incandescent light and the bright moonlight are complementing each other, illuminating the open space.

There were a lot of people in the dam, but they were gathered in groups of three or five, busy barbecuing.

Of course, the things needed for the barbecue were not brought by these people themselves, but rented to them by people in the village.

"It seems that there are still many people in the village who have ideas. This is a really good idea."

Zhang An also nodded in agreement, this place should have just been set up.

Because when he passed by here a few days ago, there was no movement.

Even when sailing on the river during the day, nothing was found.

"Xiao An, you guys come here to play too."

Suddenly, someone from the dam not far away shouted to Zhang An and the others.

"It's cool at night so come out for a walk. Why are you here too?"

Zhang An turned his head and found Huang Ming walking towards him with a smile.

"Hey, Xiaoying and I came here to do some small business."

Huang Ming pointed at Li Xiaoying under the street light in the dam and spoke to Zhang An.

"What? You guys did this."

Just now Zhang An was still wondering who in the village could come up with such an idea.

Now that Huang Ming said this, how could he not understand that this place was acquired by Huang Ming.

If it was anyone else in the village, Zhang An would be surprised, but if it was Huang Ming, Zhang An felt it was natural.

Because this guy has so many clever ideas. Before he got married, he made a lot of money just by doing business in the mountains.

Now the new house has been built and the fishing tackle store is doing well. If it were someone else, I don’t think he would have such determination.

"I saw you guys playing here before, and I thought this dam was pretty good, so I went to talk to the village chief a few days ago. After the village chief found out, he was quite supportive, so I started it."

Huang Ming nodded and explained to Zhang An.

"It must have cost a lot of money to buy this set. How did your fishing tackle store make its investment back so quickly?" Zhang An knew exactly how much money Huang Ming had invested in his fishing tackle store some time ago.

Although the barbecue utensils that have been rented out in the dam are not expensive, there are quite a lot of them, and the total cost is not small.

Moreover, he not only rents out the barbecue utensils, but also rents out all kinds of barbecue skewers.

At this moment, in addition to Li Xiaoying, Huang Ming's parents were also there, preparing ingredients and busy threading the skewers. These all needed to be paid in advance.

So the fact that Huang Ming was able to acquire all these only shows that his fishing tackle store is really profitable.

"It's actually not bad, and I didn't spend too much money on this set of things. When a barbecue restaurant in the city was closing down and selling it off, I saw that it wouldn't cost much, so I bought it from him. I didn't expect it would actually come in handy."

When talking about the fishing tackle shop, Huang Ming was very humble.

"You guys really do whatever you want."

Now Zhang An had nothing to say. He could only say that Damingzi was lucky to make money and God was giving him food to eat.

"Anyway, as long as you can make money, you can do anything."

I have to say that Damingzi is much more mature now than before she got married.

"Okay, stop talking to us here. Xiaoying and the others are already too busy to handle it. Go and help them. We'll just walk around for a while and then go home."

Seeing that Li Xiaoying was almost overwhelmed, Zhang An stopped chatting with Huang Ming and sent him back to help.

"Okay then, Xiao An, you guys go ahead and have fun. I'll go get busy."

Huang Ming smiled and said, trotting back.

When Zhang An wanted to take his son to the lotus pond, he found that the little guy was standing still, staring at the barbecue stall in the dam.

It’s all over. My son’s foodie nature has come back again.

This was Zhang An's first feeling, because he himself felt that the barbecue smell in the air was fragrant, not to mention Xiao Siqi who always put food and drink first.

And it wasn't just Xiao Siqi who was here, Ding Zijie was also there. The two of them couldn't even move when they saw the barbecue stall.

"Come here, little friends, this is for you to eat."

Just when Zhang An was thinking about how to take his sons away from this place of trouble, a woman in her twenties seemed to have seen the two little guys. After talking to the others for a few words, she came over with two roasted chicken legs and handed them to the two little brothers with a smile.

Although little Siqi was drooling at the moment, he did not take it immediately. Instead, he turned his head to look at his father.

"Take it, and thank Auntie quickly."

Zhang An and Ding Yi just felt extremely embarrassed, as if they were caught red-handed.

But they meant well, so Zhang An didn't let the little ones refuse. Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to persuade them to leave.

"Thank you, Auntie~~"

When little Siqi heard his father's permission, he happily took the roasted chicken leg and thanked him sweetly.

Then he quickly gave one of the skewers in his hand to Ding Zijie next to him.

"Haha, you're welcome. You're really smart, kid."

Seeing that Xiao Siqi actually took the initiative to share the chicken leg with Ding Zijie, the woman said in surprise.

Although the two roasted chicken legs she brought were meant for each person, the little one had already divided them up on her own without the adults asking, which is not something an ordinary child can do.

"Thank you. These two kids are spoiled by their family. They can't walk when they see food."

Afterwards, Ding Yi and Zhang An also thanked them.

"It's nothing, it's normal for children."

The woman waved her hand and said, then went back. They were the group of people at the outermost part of the dam, closest to the roadside, so it was no wonder that they could see the two brothers Xiao Siqi looking at them.

With the chicken legs in their hands, the two brothers were able to walk.

Zhang An and Ding Yi took them for a walk around the lotus pond, just in time for them to finish eating the chicken legs, and then prepared to take them home.

But when they passed by Huang Ming and his friends, the two of them simply picked up the little ones and left quickly.

To avoid that, the two of them will start making trouble again.

At night, Zhang An came to the space again.

He planned to observe what happened to the fireflies he caught tonight, so as not to waste his time.

There is no darkness in space, so it is impossible to find the location of fireflies by looking for light.

So Zhang An concentrated his energy and spent a little time to determine the landing point of the fireflies, which was in the grass beside the pond.

If you look closely, you can see that many female fireflies have completed mating and laid eggs, and many of the eggs have hatched, and the larvae have begun crawling around on the ground.

Compared with the speed outside, their growth rate has increased by dozens of times. In just a few days, these larvae will grow up, and then countless fireflies can be harvested.

But Zhang An wanted to put them outside tomorrow night. Although this speed was already very fast, it was still not the speed he wanted.

You know, Changqing is not a famous tourist attraction, at most it is just a place with nice scenery.

Therefore, during this National Day holiday, the time when the most people in the village will be in the first few days will probably be.

By the time you get there, most people should have left and chosen their next place.

At that time, the village would definitely not be as lively as it is today. Even if the fireflies were grown by then, they would not have such a great effect when he released them.

After thinking for a while, Zhang An made up his mind to gather all the fireflies together.

Then he took out the spiritual spring crystal dew, poured out about two or three drops, mixed it with the space spring water and fed it to the fireflies of all sizes.

Although the spiritual spring crystal dew is scarce, Zhang An has been collecting it for so long without using it, so wasting a few drops is still within his tolerable range.

The attraction of this thing to animals and plants is many times more obvious than the effect of space spring water. Although it has been diluted a lot by adding space spring water, the effect is still very obvious. Many animals in the space have come here by smelling the scent.

However, Zhang An did not allow them, so they only dared to watch from a distance and did not dare to get close.

After all the fireflies have been equally exposed to the rain and dew, the effect begins to show. You can see the adult fireflies mating again, and soon the females begin to lay eggs.

The eggs laid were also hatching at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was not the first time Zhang An had peeped, so he had nothing to feel embarrassed about.

And those larvae he had just seen were now growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The adult insects quickly grew wings, and the female insects became white and plump.

He also suddenly discovered that the second generation of fireflies cultivated in space had stronger vitality and seemed to live longer than before.

Seeing this, Zhang An felt that the few drops of spiritual spring crystal dew he had just used were not wasted. At this rate, he would be able to create a spectacular firefly spectacle in the village tomorrow night.
