Chapter 10 The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, touching crabs in the stream
More than two hours passed in the blink of an eye. In these two hours, he found three more walnut trees and five more chestnut trees. , two hawthorn trees.
I heard from others that there are also pear trees, kiwi trees, crabapple trees, mulberry trees and apricot trees, but unfortunately he did not find them.
But this is normal. It seems that these are not available here, but somewhere else.
He was very happy to get these five kinds of trees. After all, there were some fruit trees that were not found in the mountains but were found outside.
For example, there are grapes and peach trees in the village. Just get some peach stones and break off a few grape vines to solve the problem.
Before going down the mountain, Li Jia entered the space. The sweet potatoes he planted yesterday had already sprouted about thirty sweet potato seedlings during the night.
Let him plant them into the ground, and now these seedlings have grown into very long sweet potato seedlings.
Li Jiayi left one branch on each tree, took off all the rest, cut them into sections, and planted them again.
Seeing that the changes in other places were not great, he ignored it and ran down the mountain after coming out of the space.
When I returned to grandma's house, grandma was choosing vegetables in the yard to prepare for cooking.
"The eldest grandson is back?"
"Yes, grandma."
"Are you hungry?" grandma asked.
“Not hungry.” Li Jiayi shook his head.
"I asked your aunt to take back a pack of the peach cakes and fruits you brought over yesterday. I'll keep the remaining pack of peach cakes and fruits for you. You can go and eat when you're hungry."
< br>"Grandma, I'm really not hungry. Also, my mother asked me to bring those peach cakes and fruits to you and grandpa."
"You kid, I'm the same age as your grandpa." Age, nothing After eating, I’ll leave it to you to eat.”
Before Li Jiayi could refuse, grandpa said again: “Grandson, your grandma is right. You will be hungry when you run away and it’s not time to eat yet. You can save some time.”
Hearing what his grandparents said, Li Jiayi was a little jealous, because he knew that his grandparents didn’t want to eat, but wanted to keep it for him to eat.
"Okay, let's put the schoolbag in the room first."
"I know, grandpa."
As soon as Li Jia came to the house, he went directly into the west room, which is where food is stored place.
He also lacks seeds.
Sure enough, the room was full of grain, including wheat and corn. He also saw soybeans and sesame seeds, but there were not many of either.
Li Jiayi collected four or five kilograms of wheat, two or three kilograms of corn, and then grabbed a handful of soybeans and sesame seeds.
When he came out of the house, his grandparents were not in the yard, so they hurriedly ran to the kitchen to take a look.
I saw grandpa lighting the fire and grandma cooking.
"Grandson, it's too hot in the stove, so don't come in. Go and cool off in the shade of the trees in the yard."
"It's okay, grandma, I'll watch you cook."< br>
"What's the point of cooking?"
"Let me learn from you."
"You kid, why are you learning this? Cooking is a woman's job." Grandma said.
“Uh!”
Li Jiayi didn’t know what to say, but there was nothing he could do about it, that’s how it is in this day and age.
To put it bluntly, it is feudal thinking.
Just after lunch, my second cousin Li Cheng ran over. He is twelve years old this year, the same age as his eldest sister Li Jiaqi.
"Hey, second brother, your butt doesn't hurt anymore?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Yeah! It doesn't hurt so much anymore."
"Mr. Cheng, what do you want to do here?" Grandma asked.
"Grandma, I'm here to ask Jia Yi to play." Li Chenghou said quickly.
“Are you going to fish again? You can’t go.”
“No, grandma, if you don’t go fishing, you’re just playing.”
“Really?”
"Really." "Okay! But if I know that you are taking Jia Yi to fish, I will ask your dad to spread your butts."
"Grandma, it's really not fishing."
At this time Li Jiayi said: "Grandma, then I'm going to play. Don't worry, I'm not going to fish."
"Okay, my eldest grandson should be good."
As soon as Li Jia entered the house, he put on the kettle and schoolbag and followed his second cousin out.
"Second brother, what are we going to do?" Li Jiayi asked when he came outside the yard.
“Let’s go catch crabs in the creek.”
“Ah! Still fishing!” Li Jiayi was speechless.
I just got beaten last night and I’m going fishing again today.
“Plus one, it’s different. Yesterday I went to the river, today I went to the creek, the water is up to my knees.”
"That's it! Let's go."
If he hadn't gone to the river, Li Jiayi would have been happy to go, but there was no other way. Although he was not a landlubber, his water quality was not good.
At least there is no way to compare with the first cousin and the second cousin, not even compared to Li Jiafen.
No way, there is no place where you can swim everywhere in the city, but in the countryside, it can be said that there are everywhere.
Soon the second cousin took him to meet the eldest cousin. It seemed that the thing the eldest cousin had taken was quite good.
Shovels, large tubs and barrels.
In rural areas, it is rare to see iron buckets and porcelain basins. Even the basins used for washing faces are all made of ceramics, including kneading noodles.
The creek is not far from the village, only four to five hundred meters. He doesn’t know where the upper reaches of this creek are, but he knows that the lower reaches of this creek lead directly to the cousin and the others yesterday. Go to the river.
"Brother, let me get it for you!" Li Jiayi said.
“No, this is heavier, I’ll take it.”
"It's okay."
"Jiayi, you take the shovel! I'll hold the basin and let the eldest brother hold the bucket." said the second cousin.
“Okay!”
Of these three things, it can be said that the shovel is the lightest. You must know that whether it is a wooden barrel or a wooden basin, they are all thick, especially of bulkiness.
A few minutes later, the three people arrived at the creek, where there were already many children from the same village.
They are basically the same as them, with wooden basins, barrels and shovels.
But seeing how they touched the crabs, Li Jiayi was speechless. This was really touching!
And when you encounter a crab hole, just use a shovel to dig it. This is too inefficient!
“Brother, there are too many people here, let’s go downstream!” Li Jiayi said.
“Go downstream? Shouldn’t we go upstream?”
"Brother, just listen to me! Let's go downstream."
Li Jiayi did not intend to go down to touch, but planned to intercept the stream.
In this case, it will be very troublesome if you are upstream. After all, there are many people there, but it doesn't matter if you are downstream, there is no one behind.
"Okay! Let's go downstream."
My cousin is fourteen years old this year. Like Li Jiayi, he will also be in the first grade of junior high school when school starts.
So he thought Li Jiayi was smarter than him, and basically listened to whatever Li Jiayi said.
Soon Li Jiayi found a location, a slightly narrower place with many rocks.
Li Jiayi took off his shoes first, then his pants and top, leaving only a pair of big pants.
In this era, there are no underwear for children. They are basically large pants.
Of course, he also took off his school bag and kettle, went down directly to the creek and said: "Big brother, second brother, first use big rocks to block this place."
PS: Love is always there across thousands of rivers and mountains, can you give me a monthly pass? Thanks!
