Chapter 48 A Big Meal
"Oh, look at what you two said, don't let her go to heaven..." Sun said with a helpless look: "Zhao Xiuyun is so publicized. The whole village knows that I I'm worried that those people will give my daughter the reputation of being a bitch..."
"A bitch is just a bitch. If we, a good girl like Qing'er, are bitch, people will rush for her..." Guihua disagrees. The way.
Yang Ruoqing listened on the sidelines, smiling with her lips pursed, not feeling embarrassed at all.
There is no way, although this body is twelve years old, but in the heart, the age is almost the same as that of Sun and Guihua.
After laughing for a while, Mrs. Sun said to Yang Ruoqing: "Thanks to your two aunts who came to help me dig the fields, there are not many left. Qing'er, you can go over there and play for a while, and don't come down."
“Hey, that’s good.” Yang Ruoqing said with a smile. The purpose of digging the fields this time was to prepare for planting wheat and rapeseed in two days.
Wheat seeds and rapeseed seeds were borrowed from Guihua and Dayun.
"Qing'er, if you feel bored, you can go dig for loaches under the field ridge over there. Uncle Big Niu dug up half a catty in the first two days!" Aunt Dayun said.
Yang Ruoqing's eyebrows suddenly lit up. Yes, in the field after the autumn harvest, there were loaches hiding under the thick soil.
"Okay, then I'll try my luck!" Yang Ruoqing responded cheerfully, picked up the small bamboo basket brought by Mrs. Sun next to her and rushed to the field ridge over there.
Today, her hair was combed smoothly, with two braids hanging down her back. When she walked, the two braids swayed gently, looking very confident.
Behind, Osmanthus looked at Yang Ruoqing's running back and thought to herself: This girl is smart, capable, fierce and responsible. The more I watched it, the more I liked it. Widow Zhao was really blinded! If my son hadn't been three years younger than Qing'er, he would have really wanted to get married!
……
Yang Ruoqing came to the field head, rolled up her sleeves, and after looking around for a while, started to hoe with a hoe...
After a few hoeings, the wet mud was dug up, revealing a small pit filled with water underneath. She threw the hoe aside and squatted down to dig out the mud with both hands.
The slippery loaches were pulled out of the mud and put into the small bamboo basket next to them.
These loaches are relatively small, even thinner than the little finger.
In her previous life, Yang Ruoqing would not have developed an appetite for them. They were too small and thin to hold down chopsticks.
But it’s different now. It tastes like meat. It’s wild and harmless. If you catch it and stew it in soup, it can replenish Yang Huazhong’s health. Stir-fried with dry chili pepper, it is also an appetizer.
Yang Ruoqing dug with gusto. After a while, she dug almost all of the two fields at home. There is a layer underneath the small bamboo basket.
She saw people digging in the fields next door. It was not easy to dig in other people's fields, so she decided to dig in the small ditch at the head of the field.
She dug all the way here and noticed that small bubbles would come out of these small ditches from time to time.
The water is not deep, and the inside is covered with withered yellow weeds and vines. Yang Ruoqing used the hoe handle to pick up the vines and withered grass, tilted her head and looked at the blurred crawling marks on the ditch wall, and followed the tracks to find the nearby ones. Hidden holes.
It is not winter yet, and snakes have not yet entered hibernation. Inside these holes, there may be eels, snakes, or crabs. More likely, some cunning snakes occupy the eels and crabs' caves.
With her eyes rolling, Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves to her shoulders in one breath, spotted one of the holes, leaned down, put her fingers in and started picking at it.
On the other hand, she held her breath and felt the movement coming from the end of her fingers...
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, her fingers suddenly moved and twitched, and a piece was as thick as a rolling pin. The snake was pulled out by her. The autumn sunshine shines on the snake. The snake's body appears gray-brown, with a faint line on its back. The snake head was pinched tightly by Yang Ruoqing's fingers as it went down the throat. It turned its head and spit out the bright red core, as if it wanted to bite her, but she pinched the spot just right, and the snake head couldn't reach her arm at all.
So, the thick snake body wrapped around Yang Ruoqing's arm, circle after circle, like... like a diamond bracelet with countless circles for her. , quite joyful!
"Ah——"
The Sun family over there screamed in fright when they saw this, and almost dropped the hoes in their hands to the ground.
"Mom, don't panic, this snake can't bite me!" Yang Ruoqing turned around and smiled at the women over there who were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Raised his other hand and pinched some part of the snake. The snake that had been entangled vigorously just now suddenly became limp, and its body drooped down like a hemp vine.
The head was held in Yang Ruoqing's hand, and the tail was dragged to the ground. Yang Ruoqing made a visual inspection. Good guy, he is almost one meter long. What a fat meal!
The three Suns over there hurried over, and no one dared to approach them. Sun took courage and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, why did you catch this black snake?"
This snake , Sun and the others are no strangers, they are often seen in ditches.
This kind of snake is not as highly poisonous as the red "Tui Po" in the rapeseed fields. The black snake is not poisonous, but it looks scary and people in the village generally don't dare to touch it.
If Mrs. Sun hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that her daughter dared to catch a snake.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said to Sun: "Of course I caught it to make snake soup. This snake is so thick and long that it can stew a big pot!"
"My God, even if it is dragon meat, I don't dare to serve it." Sun shook her head and said, Osmanthus fragrans and Dayun also looked fearful.
Yang Ruoqing laughed and patted her chest: "It's okay, I'm not here!"
On the way back to the village while carrying the black snake, Yang Ruoqing naturally attracted a group of people. The adults and children were chasing after her, and they were all shocked.
When passing by the little boys who had always teased her in the past, Yang Ruoqing deliberately shook the snake in her hand a few times, scaring the little boys so much that they started crying on the spot and threw themselves into their mother's arms. In the middle of the tunnel, a guy peed his pants.
Yang Ruoqing laughed and walked straight into the house.
He took it to the house and showed it to Yang Huazhong. The man was also amazed.
“I ate this black snake a few years ago when I was helping a family on the other side of the mountain. It tasted so delicious, just like that old hen...”
< br>The man's face showed an expression of endless aftertaste.
Yang Ruoqing chuckled: "Dad, just wait, our family will improve the food tonight!"
Yang Ruoqing came to the well in the yard and started to play with the black snake. She heard something in the yard in front. Mrs. Liu, Yang Huaming and Yang Huaming's two daughters all gathered around to watch the fun.
Ms. Liu and the others also heard about Yang Ruoqing's recovery from madness, and they kept praising Yang Ruoqing for her ability.
Yang Ruoqing was too lazy to respond and knocked the black snake unconscious with her fist. She found a crooked tree branch in the yard and hung the black snake up.
