Chapter 422 Thunderstorm
Hearing this, Lao Zhong was about to come over and laugh at him.
Zhao Yubao screamed "hiss~ah~" again, startling him, "Oh, it's itchy, it's so itchy. There are fish in the water eating the soles of my feet."
He Shouting, Zhao Dahai also exclaimed: "Ah, I have one here too, I have one here too, there are so many small fish swimming over."
The father and son shouted loudly.
After seeing clearly what was causing trouble under the water, I suddenly became more playful.
With bright eyes, he stared at the densely packed small fish swimming around his legs and feet in the water channel, constantly nibbling at them, bringing a numbing and slightly tingling pleasure.
"Hey, it's fun. Isn't this the kind of fish spa that foreigners do?"
"Dad, don't move around, you'll scare away the fish here."
“Whoever moved around must have smelled your feet and smoked the fish away.”
The father and son were like two little babies, soaking their feet, watching the groups of small fish surrounding their feet, fighting happily...
Old Zhong was not in the mood to laugh at the old man anymore. , he came over with both greed and curiosity, and stared into the ditch.
I saw so many small fish playing around their legs and feet.
Lao Zhong couldn't bear it anymore. He kicked off his shoes and took off his socks in three swipes, and couldn't wait to choose a place to soak in the water.
Two old ladies followed closely and came over not wanting to lag behind.
Then -
"Ah~", "Ah~", "Ah~"
A series of comfortable shouts.
"I'll go, why don't you be so exaggerated, just soak your feet, is it really so comfortable? You scream like you are about to ascend to heaven."
The Bobcat couple were shocked.
"How can you talk like a little kid?"
Zhao Yubao snorted, squinting his eyes with a comfortable look on his face and said: "This is not just a foot bath, it also has a fish massage, and the water Although it is very cool, it is also very soft. It flows over our feet and is as smooth as silk, as if it had been touched by the hands of a fairy."
After hearing this, Zhao Dahai agreed: "Yes, it is smaller than the mountains. The stream is much more fun, Yaya, hurry up and bring mom over to play, daddy has a lot of small fish here."
As he said, he moved his buttocks and changed his position with two fat big feet. The water channel stirred and gurgled, knocking out all the fish at the bottom.
The fat man laughed loudly: "Fugui, Fugui, we have developed another fun project for you. In the future, people will come to the farm to stay and play. This is included in the supporting project fee, which is absolutely correct."
Chen Ling and Wang Susu looked at each other and thought this was a good idea.
“By the way, Fugui, what kind of fish is this little fish? Isn’t the kind of fish that foreigners use in fish spas tropical fish? There is a guy in our circle who wrote an article about it. I remember it clearly. Very." Zhao Yubao asked.
“This is an ordinary wheat fish, which comes down from the mountain and flows from the mountain stream. This little miscellaneous fish is not afraid of people, but it doesn’t grow big. It basically grows to this size.”
Chen Ling answered casually, pulling the brat who was about to run away with Yaya to him with one hand, and slapped him on the butt several times.
“Stay there and don’t let me pass.”
The brat didn't cry even after being beaten. He just opened his big black and white eyes and looked up at him, then at Wang Susu, with his mouth pursed and his face filled with grievances.
I didn’t even care about the bird tied to the bamboo stick. I threw it on the ground and let it flap its wings in vain.
Seeing this, Wang Susu touched his head and said softly: "Ruirui, be obedient. We are still young. We will catch a cold when playing in the water. If we catch a cold, our stomach will hurt and we will not be able to sleep at night."
Actually, this kid Ruirui has a very good memory. The last time he went to the water to dig out a bird's nest, he was beaten. He was never allowed to go to a place with water at home. With his little head, although he didn't know clearly Why is this, but I also know that playing with water will make my parents angry...
It is just a little baby. When playing with friends, it can’t control so much.
Whatever other people play, he also wants to play with them.
And I couldn’t bear to scream.
When someone calls, he can't stay for a second and wants to run over and play.
No, Yaya ran to Zhao Dahai. When she saw that Rui Rui was not following, she hurriedly waved to him and called him: "Rui Rui, come here quickly. There are many small fish here. Let's let the small fish eat their feet too." Feet."
Yaya screamed like this, how can this guy do it?
Ruirui twisted around beside Chen Ling and Wang Susu and began to moan. She struggled with Chen Ling's hand to play with them, and almost burst into tears.
Zhao Dahai and Xiang Wenxia both liked Rui Rui very much. They couldn't see the little baby making such a fuss, so they quickly said to their daughter: "Yaya, don't play with water anymore, go play with Rui Rui."< br>
"Your uncle's water canal is right here. We will have many opportunities to play in the future."
As he said that, he stepped out of the water, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and just pulled him. Yaya went over to coax Ruirui.
Although Yaya is more than two years older than Ruirui, she is actually still a playful little baby. I saw them both playing in the water, and there was such an interesting little one who could chew his feet. Fish, of course, also want to play.
Chen Ling noticed it, winked with Wang Susu, then took the brat in front of him who was moaning and coquettishly into his arms, and walked towards the ditch: "It's okay, Brother Dahai, don't you just want to play in the water? Let them Play, play, you have to catch a cold and have a stomachache once, and you will remember it later."
"Come on, come on, Ruirui doesn't listen to your father, grandma and grandpa will hug you."
< br>It's okay for the adults of the two families to hear this. The two little kids have nothing to do with this. As long as they are willing to let them play, they can say anything.
I felt happy immediately.
Ruirui, the little thing, was held in Chen Ling's arms. Knowing that his father was going to take him to play, he became cheerful and lively in the blink of an eye.
The little head suddenly popped up on Chen Ling's left shoulder, and then popped up on his right shoulder, making endless fuss with Yaya.
But when they got to the ditch and let them play in the water, they were afraid of getting cold and did not dare to stretch their feet in.
Little dolls are delicate after all.
Even if Yaya was a little older and tentatively put her hand into the water, the little girl would still scream.
It took me a few minutes to get used to it before I fully inserted my feet.
Ruirui, like a little puppy, was afraid of the cold and dared not go into the water, so he was held up by Chen Ling with his arms and hung on the water. His two little feet splashed in the water, feeling the coldness of the water. I felt it was fun again, I laughed loudly and couldn’t bear to leave.
The elderly people from both families were filled with love when they saw it. They felt that the little fat baby was so cute and fun that they couldn't help but want to hold it in their arms and love it.
"Come on, come on, Fugui lets me hug him, it's the same if I hold him and play..." Several old people came out of the ditch one after another, smiling and reaching out to grab him.
As soon as there were fewer people in the canal, all the little fishes ran to Yaya, Xiang Wenxia and Du Juan.
The little girl was very happy at first when she saw a little fish finally swimming over.
It's a pity that she is young and is very ticklish. As soon as the school of small fish gathered around her, she couldn't bear the tickling. She rolled all over the floor and twitched with laughter, as if an old hen was about to lay eggs.
But she was scared of being tickled, so she quickly shouted "Mom, Mom" and asked Xiang Wenxia to take her out.
Ruirui was tired of playing at this time, and Yaya stopped playing, so he didn't find it so interesting anymore. He lay in Chen Ling's arms and rubbed his cold little feet.
"Okay, you know it's cold, do you want to play now?"
"I told you that little babies can't play with water, but you still don't listen."...
"Good guys, you guys are still having so much fun without going out."
But just after noon, Gao Xiulan came back.
"Xiulan, why did you take Zhenzhen to school for most of the day? Don't you just catch a collection by the way?"
"What collection are you going to catch? First, I met Qiu. Mei, we talked for a while, and then we wanted to send a letter to my eldest and second son, but it turned out that roads were being built in the city, and I spent a long time at the post office..."
"Old sister, Qiu Mei is thinking about you. This goddaughter feels sorry for you and doesn't want you to run back and forth for fear of causing trouble. She will come over to see you in the afternoon."
"Oh, let's come over early to play. , I haven’t told Qiu Mei yet, you must have let it slip.”
“It’s really not me who said it.”
“Hey, you bitch. , and pushed it on Zhenzhen, we will tell Zhenzhen when she comes back from school... From now on, we will take her to school in the city, far away from you, the mother."
A few old people. The wife was laughing and chatting, they were all elderly people with good personalities, and we got to know each other very well within two days.
Now Gao Xiulan is bolder and dares to go to the county seat by herself. She often takes turns picking up and dropping off her daughter with Wang Cunye.
Chen Ling and Wang Susu were afraid that they would be too tired to let them send them off.
Who knew that the two elders were still worried about this matter.
It seems like a glorious thing to pick up and drop off my daughter.
Actually, I am free at home and would like to go to the county town more often, go to the market, etc.
"What are you doing at home? Are you fishing in the canals? Why are you still barefoot?"
"Haha, we were just playing in the water, but brother Cunye actually went and caught some fish. "
A few people felt happy about what happened just now.
Gao Xiulan was also having fun, but she didn’t actually think it was very interesting. She had seen this thing all day long, and it was just for the small fish to chew on her feet. Farmers went down to the river to catch fish, let alone let the fish chew on their feet. There are fish, shrimps, turtles, river clams, even worms, leeches, and all kinds of strange things, which make people suffer.
They no longer find it strange.
...
"Dad, did you catch this fish from the canal outside?"
"Yes, what's wrong, this fish is not good?"
"Okay, It looks better than last year, which is a bit surprising. "
They were playing in the farm just now, and Wang Cunye was naturally not idle, so he went outside the farm to catch some small fish and pulled some vegetables back from the vegetable garden.
Used for cooking at noon.
Fish, seasonal vegetables, Chen Ling's already shed feathers on the mountain bird, and some scrambled eggs, duck eggs, etc. are completely enough to eat.
“Hey, the weather is weird.”
Chen Ling was holding the basin of small fish and was about to walk to the backyard when he saw that the weather had changed at noon.
Wang Cunye looked up and said, "Oh, it's true. It should rain soon. Weren't there so many crabs 'coming up the mountain' in the reed swamp yesterday? It's just that there was no rain last night. It's probably raining today. It’s the next one.”
"Uncle Cunye, it used to be like this here every year. There would be a rain almost when the sun sets. To be honest, it would be good to have a few rains early. It doesn't have to rain heavily half a month before the wheat harvest..." Wang Lixian said.
"That's the truth. I'm just surprised that crabs are sometimes not allowed to go up the mountain." Chen Ling laughed.
Zhao Dahai and Shanmao took Ruirui's two little children and played with the cats and dogs at home for a while. At this time, they came over and stretched their heads to look at the small fish in the basin: "This is Are you going to make some fried fish dumplings? "
"Well, what do you want to do?" Chen Ling said with a smile.
"Come on, we won't show our embarrassment." Shanmao waved his hand.
Zhao Dahai chuckled: "Just don't use the fish that chews our feet."
Hearing this, before Chen Ling said anything, the lynx kicked him: "Go, go, go, You, the fat man, are the most disgusting. Don’t serve it later. Let’s eat with Heiwa and the others.”
“The weather is really going to rain. Dahai and I can’t help much.” , go outside and collect the bird net for you.”
“Okay, collect it.”
“I want to get up early tomorrow to net the pigeons, but it seems that the weather is not good. .”
After summer, the weather becomes changeable.
Especially when the wheat harvest is approaching, in some years there will often be scenes of wheat grabbing in Longkou.
The so-called grabbing wheat from Longkou means grabbing wheat from the mouth of the Dragon King who controls the movement of clouds and rain.
In the first two years of 1995 and 1996, the weather was abnormal. There was not much rain in the early summer, but later there were floods.
This situation is a normal weather phenomenon this year.
The locals will not panic.
Because this kind of celestial phenomenon does not bring much rain, it often rains in the afternoon or before the sun sets. It does not rain until early the next morning, or even in the morning of the next day. It only stops in the second half of the night. .
That's why Chen Ling found it strange because he didn't pay much attention to the weather before.
"Uncle, aunt, just clean and wash these vegetables. I will do the rest, so you don't have to worry about it."
Chen Ling blocked the old people back and walked to the backyard kitchen. , first make the fish pot stickers.
This miscellaneous fish pot sticker is also easy to make. Coat the small miscellaneous fish with flour and fry it in a pan until golden brown. Then take it out.
Heat the oil in the pot again, add soy sauce, garlic, dried pepper and the like and sauté until fragrant, then put the fried small fish in, add soy sauce and fish cooking wine and start cooking.
Don’t worry about the rest. As long as the fish is fresh enough, this dish will be delicious enough.
The weather was a coincidence. As soon as the fish pot stickers were cooked and Chen Ling went to cook the next dish, the sky outside became gloomy.
Not long after, there was no more sunlight in the dark sky, and the sky became dark.
Only the two children in the yard were still yelling, running around with a group of dogs and little tabby cats, shouting to follow the adults outside to call the chickens and ducks back.
Soon, the wind picked up, and the layers of dark clouds gathered together. They rolled into various shapes with their claws and teeth, and bright, blue and white lightning flashed in the clouds.
The rolling thunder sounded continuously.
“Hey, it’s thundering. I don’t know if the thunderstorm is big or not. Can I take this opportunity to take out the lightning strike wood.”
A pair of swallows against the wind After sneaking back into the kitchen elegantly, Chen Ling revealed his head from the kitchen, looked at the sky and murmured to himself.
