Chapter 313: Warm Fragrant Nephrite Jade
Strange to say, as soon as Qiulin got home, all the symptoms disappeared.But two days later, she regained her previous look.After recovering from the illness, it is time to dig lotus roots and catch eels at home.Qiulin rolled up his sleeves, picked up the bamboo basket and followed everyone to the field.

She was bouncing in front of her with a basket in her arms, her unrestrained appearance with a smile on her face made one feel comforted to see.The appearance of freedom at that time was very different from that in Cixi.

At this moment, Xia Yan was also pulled by Qiulin to dig lotus roots and catch eels in the field. He followed Qiulin. Xia Yan narrowed his eyes for those soft words, and couldn't help sighing, it would be even better if he had warm and fragrant nephrite in his arms.

It's a pity that now that he's back in the village, he has very few opportunities to get along with Qiu Lin, and now he can't even touch her hand, let alone Wen Xiang in his arms.Hey, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.Xia Yan bit his lip, staring at Qiu Lin who was bouncing around like a little white rabbit, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a few glutinous white teeth, heh heh, the little white rabbit will be pounced upon by the big bad wolf one day.After this year, Qiulin will be 15 years old, and 15 years old is a big girl!Xia Yan gritted his teeth and cheered himself up, thinking that at the age of 15, he would definitely take Qiulin down!

Qiu Lin didn't know what kind of evil thoughts Xia Yan was following behind her. She looked at every plant and tree in the village. Although it was winter now, the leaves on the trees were almost gone, and the grass on the road It is also withered and yellow.But she just felt comfortable looking at it.She has been sick for nearly a month, and she finally came out to let the wind go, so she naturally feels at ease even looking at this desolate look.

When he arrived at his paddy field, looking at the stalks of the lotus in the paddy field, Qiulin threw the basket on the ridge of the field, and grabbed the withered stalks of lotus leaves to pull them up.

Seeing this, Xia Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurried over to stop Qiu Lin's behavior, lest she use too much force, and if she accidentally threw herself into the water, wouldn't she be seriously ill again? "Take it as a radish. The stalk of the lotus leaf is dead. You can pull it with a little force and it will break. When the time comes, won't you fall headlong into the water?"

Qiulin's face was embarrassed, because she had already stretched out her hand and tore off the stem of the lotus leaf. If Xia Yan hadn't pulled her, she might have fallen into the water.

Zhou Yang, Mao's second son on Wednesday, was very clever. Seeing Qiulin almost fell into the paddy field right now.Hastily picked up the hoe and came over, hurriedly said: "Miss Si, you should go to the dirt road, as long as there are a few of us here." According to Xiaohong, Miss Si has been ill for about a month. If it falls into the water again, it may cause wind and cold. At that time, these servants under them, do they want to be scolded by the boss or the boss' grandma?

Hearing this, Qiu Lin knew that Zhou Yang was implying that he was only here to add to the chaos, but the fact is exactly the same. The work of taking off shoes and going to the fields was done by his daughter's family. Her feet should not be easily exposed to In front of people!

After Xia Yan dragged Qiu Lin onto the dirt road, the other young men followed Zhou Yang and took off their shoes and socks. The legs of their trousers were rolled up to their knees and tied firmly.They all belonged to Wednesday's Mao family and Zhang's third family, and the paddy field at home was handed over to these two families, and now the job of catching rice field eels naturally fell to them.

In fact, the water in the fields is only a shallow layer. In winter, when the river water enters the dry season, there is naturally not much water in the fields.At this moment, Zhou Yang went down to the field and quickly mixed up the water, and what he saw was a piece of yellow water.At this moment, several boys each occupied a family, and began to dig the lotus root in the field complementary to each other.The dug out lotus root was thrown directly on the dirt road, which made Zhou Zhou Mao, Zhang Laosan and their respective wives waiting to pick the lotus root back.

Qiulin picked up some chubby lotus roots, took them to a nearby stream and washed them.There is also the paddy field of Qiulin's family here, but there are eels in it.At this moment on Wednesday, Zhou Furong, the third daughter of the Mao family, Zhang Chunlan and Zhang Dongmei, the third daughter of the third daughter of Zhang Lao's family, and Zhang Dongmei were lying on the ridge of the field holding rice field eel clips.

The rice field eel was so slippery and greasy that it was harder to handle than loach.I'm afraid it won't work to grab it directly with your hands, let alone a few delicate girls who are afraid of being bitten by this thing.As long as the eel's head is clamped with this special eel clip, it cannot escape.

Put the clamped eel into a wooden barrel, which is filled with water. After the eel is clamped, it will be kept in water, and it will not die for a while.Qiulin and Xia Yan went to the stream to wash the mud off the lotus root, and then hurried to these wooden barrels to have a look, uh, don't look at these girls are all delicate girls, let's get to work No worse than the man, the bucket was already half full of rice field eels.

Qiulin thought about making a stir-fried eel section for Xia Yan to eat at noon, and Xia Yun ate all the food he made for him. Qiulin has always been worried about this matter, and today he can finally let brother Xia Yan taste her own food. The stir-fried eel section is done.

Qiulin watched the caught eels jumping up and down in the wooden barrel. Although she clearly knew that they were eels and not snakes, she still didn't dare to muster up the courage to catch them.After all, she had been frightened by a snake and bitten once before, so she had some shadows about that cold-blooded animal.How similar is this eel to a snake? Although it doesn't look like it would make her shudder, she still has some hairs in her heart.

So Qiulin urged Xia Yan beside him, "Brother Xia Yan, catch some rice eels, and I'll make fried eels for you." Although she didn't dare to catch rice eels, she still had a fiancé by her side, asking him to help catch them. Rice field eels are the best.

How could Qiulin's little thoughts escape Xia Yan's eyes? He had a slight smile on his lips, but he didn't expose Qiulin.Looking at the eel scurrying around in the wooden barrel, Xia Yan quickly made a move. He struck very quickly, and when he stretched out his hand again, there was already an eel struggling hard between his thumb and index finger.Xia Yan knew that Qiulin was afraid of this thing, so he quickly put it into the fish basket with a small belly on the side.

Seeing that Xia Yan shot very quickly, Qiulin didn't hesitate at all, thinking that he used to go to the mountains to collect medicine and was alone, so he probably encountered some scary scenes.Otherwise, he would not have practiced the skill of hitting the target.Qiu Lin suddenly felt sorry for Xia Yan. It was really hard work for him to go all over the jungle to find grass and herbs at such a young age.

While Qiulin was in a daze, Xia Yan had been catching eels for several days and putting them in the fish basket.Weighing the fish basket feels a bit heavy, it should be almost there.So he grabbed Qiulin's handkerchief pinned to his chest, and blocked the mouth of the fish basket.
