Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 104

Li Shengli wants to take Yiweimin to the lower reaches of the river to take pictures of the sunset, while Xiao Yuer clamors to catch frogs and fireflies.

The two frogs Xiao Yuer caught today were roasted and eaten by Jiang Ancheng alone.

It is tender and fragrant, with endless aftertaste, and I still want to eat it.

There are a lot of frogs this season, Jiang Ancheng and Chen Yufei also caught a lot last year.

Seeing Xiao Yuer monkey's anxious look, Li Shengli said: "Just take him, the child is about to cry." Then he said to Jiang Ancheng: "Your roasted frog is really delicious."

He also wanted to taste it at the time, but Xiao Yuer ate too fast and had too much fun, so he was embarrassed.

Hearing Xiao Yu'er said that he wanted to catch frogs now, he was also moved.

Jiang Ancheng was so entangled by Xiao Yu'er that he couldn't help it, so he said angrily, "It's been a crazy day, and you don't know how tired you are."

Xiao Yuer rubbed against Jiang Ancheng's thigh, "Dad, Dad, catch the frog, catch the frog."

Qilin also imitated Xiao Yu'er, laying on Jiang Ancheng's body with two front legs, yelling.

Jiang Ancheng finally compromised, "Okay, then you have to follow Dad all the time, and you can't run around."

Xiao Yu'er cheered, "I know!"

There is also skill in catching frogs.

You can use earthworms or vegetables that frogs like to catch, or you can reach out to grab them nimbly, or use a flashlight to shine on the frog's eyes, and catch the unresponsive frog with a net.

There is a ready-made bamboo net under the eaves of their house, which was used to catch frogs last year.

Xiao Yu'er still wanted to catch fireflies and show them to Sun Miaolan, so Jiang Ancheng went from the back room and took some small bamboo lanterns.

His craftsmanship is exquisite, and Song Lingjun stared at the lantern in surprise, "This is so beautiful, did Boss Jiang make it himself?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded, and said confidently: "This is still rough, if I have time, I can do better."

Paralyzed in bed in his previous life, he subsidized his family by weaving various bamboo utensils. His skills became more and more exquisite, and he even won an award in the Bamboo Strip Contest.

Song Lingjun praised: "Boss Jiang is really capable."

Li Shengli also agrees. If Jiang Ancheng hadn't been helping Jiang Anshun all these years, he would know bamboo sticks, hunt, and grow flowers. His wife and children would have lived a good life long ago.

We walked down the road next to Xiaohegou for about [-] minutes, and the sunset and the lake were so beautiful.

Yi Weimin and Song Lingjun stood still and admired it for a long time before expressing their feelings: "It's so beautiful, this place is so beautiful, it's like a fairyland."

A few egrets flew by by chance, making the fairyland more lively. Yi Weimin hurriedly picked up the camera and snapped snaps.

He didn't care about the wasted filming method at all, which made Li Shengli envious.

He also wants to buy a camera.

Yi Weimin and Song Lingjun took pictures while admiring the beautiful scenery, Jiang Ancheng took Xiao Yuer to catch the frogs following the sound of the frogs.

It was still dark at this time, as long as the speed is fast and the eyesight is good, it is still easy to catch frogs.

Xiao Yuer saw a frog squatting on the edge of the field, and said excitedly: "Dad, there is it!"

"Quack-quack-quack-"

Frightened, a group of frogs jumped into the water with a plop.

Jiang Ancheng spotted a frog that hadn't had time to take off yet, and with a poof, he buckled it down.

Xiao Yuer jumped up happily, "I caught it, I caught it!"

He frantically went to reach for the frog. Li Shengli was afraid that the frog would be let go by him, so he hurriedly said, "Come on uncle, don't move."

Xiao Yu'er was obedient and did not move. Li Shengli lifted the net bag and pinched the frog's back at the speed of lightning.

He shook the frog, smiled at Xiao Yu'er, "See, it's quite big!"

Xiao Yuer immediately went to get the bamboo basket and asked Li Shengli to put the frog into the bamboo basket specially designed to catch frogs.

When the frog is silent, it is time to test eyesight.

Jiang Ancheng carefully identified the frogs in the rice field. Suddenly, a frog came into his sight, and he pretended not to see the bulging air sac.

Jiang Anshun caught it with one click.

There was a frog on the ridge in front of Li Shengli. He swooped up and held the frog firmly in his hand.

Xiao Yuer's eyes changed into stars in seconds, and he said with admiration: "Uncle, you are so amazing!"

He just grabbed it with his hands, but he couldn't catch it.

Li Shengli laughed, "Uncle, I'll catch a few more for you to see!"

They grabbed and grabbed, and after taking pictures of the sunset, Yi Weimin and Song Lingjun came over and took some interesting photos of them catching frogs.

Song Lingjun saw that they were interesting in catching them, but she didn't dare to look at the frog directly. She always felt that this kind of animal with big eyes and slime was a bit scary.

"Quack quack-"

The bamboo baskets were full of frogs, and it was getting dark.

Li Shengli and the others washed their hands and feet, and took Song Lingjun and Yi Weimin to the best place to watch fireflies.

There are small forests on both banks of the small river, and there are large tracts of flat bamboo orchids blooming under the trees, and the fireflies twinkle and twinkle, like stars being moved to their village, which is a bit more beautiful than a fairy tale.

The little fish catches the fireflies with the net bag that caught the frog just now, and skillfully puts them into the small lantern.

There is no woman who doesn't like the view of fireflies all over the sky.

Song Lingjun reached out to touch the little firefly, and it stayed on her fingertips obediently.

Song Lingjun was pleasantly surprised, and the firefly flew away leisurely just like when it came.

At this time, the camera can't capture the night scene very clearly. Fortunately, Yi Weimin is an experienced photographer.

In the silent picture, Xiaoyuer, who is holding a firefly lamp and laughing happily, and Song Lingjun, who is affectionately enjoying the beautiful scenery, add a bit of innocence to the fairy-tale scene.

Yi Weimin snapped it, and he dared to believe that the picture he took just now must be worthy of being published in the newspapers, letting everyone know that there is still such a beautiful scenery in a certain village in Yuncheng.

Fireflies are beautiful, but mosquitoes are also poisonous.

On their way back, Xiao Yuer lay on Jiang Ancheng's back, scratching it non-stop, and yelled bitterly, "Dad, it hurts so much!"

Jiang Ancheng looked back at him, "I'll be home soon, after taking a shower, let mom give you medicine."

"Okay."

Before Jiang Ancheng entered the courtyard, he saw Sun Miaolan standing at the gate of the courtyard.

The white dress was gently lifted by the wind, revealing a section of fair calf.

Jiang Ancheng's expression darkened, he stepped forward and said, "It's cold at night, hurry up and get inside."

Sun Miaolan smiled and said: "It's not cold, it's quite hot today, I've heated up your bath water, go wash."

Xiao Yu'er climbed off Jiang Ancheng's back, and said cheerfully: "Okay, I want to wash with Qilin!"

Sun Miaolan grabbed him, "The unicorn has been washed, let your father rub it for you."

"Ok."

Jiang Ancheng went to the kitchen to pour water, and Xiao Yu'er purposely dug out the red dress she wore when taking the photo, and asked Sun Miaolan, "Mom, when can I see the photo?"

Sun Miaolan smiled, "It will take some time, just wait patiently."

"Hey~" Xiao Yu'er sighed like a grown-up, and asked again: "Dad said to take us to the city to buy cameras, so when will we go to the city?"

Sun Miaolan's eyes showed surprise, and she asked Xiao Yu'er, "When did Dad tell you?"

"Just before."

Sun Miaolan nodded and told Xiao Yuer to take a bath first.

Xiao Yu'er came out of the shower, applied ointment on him, and fell asleep comfortably, only then did Sun Miaolan turn around and rub into Jiang Ancheng's arms.

Jiang Ancheng thought she wanted to do something, so he hugged her excitedly.

Sun Miaolan said coquettishly, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Ancheng pretended to understand in confusion, and took another look at Sun Miaolan, "Let me ask you, you told Xiao Yu'er that you want to buy a camera?"

Jiang Ancheng moved his palm, and smiled triumphantly: "Well, buy one, it's not like we can't afford it now."

Sun Miaolan said earnestly: "Didn't we agree to buy a house? It's so expensive to buy a camera, and taking pictures is not an important thing. It's better to save the money."

Jiang Ancheng kissed the corner of her mouth that was pretty when she was angry, "I've already settled the matter of buying a house. I can buy a camera. It's not too expensive, and it doesn't cost much. Uh-huh, my husband bought it for you, so you just take care of it!"

His domineering and pampering words made Sun Miaolan laugh from ear to ear, so she couldn't hold back from talking to him: "Then buy a cheap one, if you don't come up, just look at the one they have."

The camera in Yi Weimin's hand has English on it, so it must be more expensive than domestic ones.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "I can't buy it even if I want to, they bought it from abroad." He said again: "When we have money, I will take you to fly abroad to have fun."

I have never been anywhere in China, and I am about to go abroad when I open my mouth.

Sun Miaolan wanted to laugh, but couldn't bear to hurt Jiang Ancheng's heart, "Well, I'm waiting for that day."

When Jiang Ancheng fell asleep dishonestly, it rained again.

Sun Miaolan suddenly opened her eyes and said to Jiang Ancheng, "You're going to pick the fungus tomorrow morning, right?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "I have to go, I have to get more matsutake, and the food factory also accepts the dried ones."

"Well, go to bed then, I'll make bamboo rice for you tomorrow morning and take it away."

"Boom-"

"My wife is so virtuous!"

"Grumpy."

Jiang Ancheng woke up with his eyes open, it was still in the middle of the night, and the sky was drizzling with rain.

Sun Miaolan didn't know how long she had been up, the country was steaming, and the glutinous rice with jujubes was fragrant.

Seeing Jiang Ancheng get up, Sun Miaolan filled him with a bowl of thin bean flour, and fished some rice noodles from another pot, "Is Yufei coming back today to replace you?"

Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "I'm going to collect some flowers and go to town in the afternoon."

"What about these fungi?"

"I'll ask someone to carry it to the town."

"Okay."

Jiang Ancheng quickly drank the bean powder, and then remembered to say: "If Mr. Yi and the others come to look for me, they will say that I have gone into the mountains. I guess they should leave in the afternoon."

"It's fine to go together."

Sun Miaolan immediately said: "Then shall we prepare something for them to take away?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Just give them some special things, just look at it, don't be too stingy."

"Ah."

Jiang Ancheng picked up the big back bamboo sticks and bamboo sticks, in addition to picking fungus, he also wanted to see if he could find a few more Dendrobium plants.

It takes at least two years for Dendrobium to grow from root seedlings to the time when it can be harvested with medicine or flowered for viewing.

Get some more now, and you will be able to breed and grow up slowly.

After more than ten years, wild dendrobium, like orchids, will be endangered wild plants and cannot be picked without authorization.

When Jiang Ancheng walked up the road, he met Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou who were waiting for him.

Aunt Zhou asked him kindly: "Have you eaten?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and nodded, "I have eaten, and I brought some rice in bamboo tubes, how much do you eat?"

Aunt Zhou shook her head, "We ate it too, and we also brought corn."

Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Let's eat together later."

"Good."

Fungi in the rainy season are everywhere. Jiang Ancheng and the others got up early today, and the first batch of people who entered the mountain had more fungus visible to the naked eye.

But they are mainly for picking matsutake, some particularly good Jianshouqing, boletus, and black tiger palm just look at it and give up.

The food factory didn't have any requirements for the matsutake. It didn't matter if it had a strange shape or a cracked matsutake. Jiang Ancheng patted the cap of the matsutake, pulled it out and threw it into the bag.

I thought I had to turn over to Laohupo to pick up a whole bag, but the rain and sunshine in the past two days were too suitable for the growth of fungus. Jiang Ancheng and the others walked halfway up the mountain, and the bag was almost filled.

At this time, it was just dawn.

Aunt Wang saw Jiang Ancheng and Aunt Zhou and Uncle Zhou picking big flower mushrooms again, and asked strangely, "Can these be sold at a good price?"

Aunt Zhou told her yesterday that it was dried and kept for eating, and it was clearly sold to Jiang Ancheng, who was carried into the city by Chen Yufei.

Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "It's very cheap, and I can't afford to sell it at a high price, but they specified that this fungus should be collected."

Even though she couldn't sell it at a high price, Aunt Zhou still showed envy.

For example, they worked hard into the mountains, and they could get good fungi and earn more, but the common fungi were often unsold when they arrived in the town and went home.

Aunt Wang tentatively asked: "Let's get some, An Cheng, will you sell it for me?"

Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "The boss is still charging less now, if I can accept it, I will definitely accept it."

That's right, Jiang Ancheng would be a fool if he didn't do profitable business.

Aunt Wang had no choice but to say: "Then next time your boss wants to accept it, just call me."

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "It must be called Auntie."

Aunt Wang took her grandchildren to continue picking mushrooms, while Jiang Ancheng wandered around.

He saw a wasp nest, which was quite large, and there should be many wasp larvae in it.

After the wasp chrysalis is deep-fried, it is delicious dipped in chilli.

Jiang Ancheng naturally didn't want to miss it, so he said to Uncle Zhou, "I'm going to pick the hornets."

It's raining now, and the wasps are all in their nests, so it's not that dangerous to pick a hornet's nest.

Uncle Zhou looked in the direction of Jiang Ancheng's finger, "Be careful, the tree is a bit tall."

Jiang Ancheng has been crawling around in the woods since he was a child, and at this height, there is nothing difficult for him.

He nodded: "Well, I know."

He pulled out a sack from his back sling, found a pole, made it into a simple bag and tied it to his body, and climbed up the pine tree.

Picking a hornet's nest requires sharp eyesight and quick hands. The moment Jiang Ancheng pulled out the hornet with his bag, he used his other hand to tightly fasten the sack and went down the tree smoothly.

The wasp was buzzing in the sack, Jiang Ancheng threw it out, and waited for the wasp to fly away before picking up the bee pupae.
