Chapter 79

Putting this bad thing aside, Canghai found a small bamboo basket in his old house. After thinking about it for a while, he found a plastic bucket.

When Ping An saw Cang Hai coming out with something, he immediately came up and reached out to take it. At the same time, he asked, "Second brother, what are we going to do?"

"Snack shrimps, didn't you say there were millet shrimps in the small pond over there? Let's go and cook some leeks in the evening!" Cang Hai replied.

Ping An said oh, and honestly followed Canghai with a basket in one hand and a bucket in the other.

After the two of them moved, Hutou and Tietou naturally followed. Tietou reached out to pick up the basket in Ping An's hand, and held it on his head with both hands, grinning at the same time, looking very happy.

Cang Hai took Ping'an out of the village and walked towards the place Wei Wenkui said, looking at the surrounding grass and trees as he walked.

The grass grows well in the ditches below the village now. The bottom of the ditches looks like a green grass blanket. The slopes on both sides of the ditches are farmlands of the villagers. Now some seedlings have grown, and some are still a piece of loess. The seeds planted have not yet germinated.

The land of Canghai naturally did not sprout, and the several acres of land were all earthy yellow. Only from the opened soil layer can it be seen that this is a piece of farmland.

"Second brother, can you eat kiwis in your house be eaten this year?" Ping An suddenly said.

Cang Hai turned to Ping'an and asked, "What's wrong? Do you want to eat kiwi?"

Ping'an shook his head: "When I can eat it, I will sell it for money. Last month, my grandfather and I went to the market and saw that it was so expensive that it costs three or four yuan per person."

Canghai smiled and said, "What's the price for a few plants? If they are cooked, come to eat at home."

The kiwi fruits last year had no fruits, and only vines grew. Except for the modified kiwi fruit that grew into a tree, the remaining few were all set up. Last year, they only had a few small fruits, and only seven or eight were each. As for whether kiwi fruits can bear large pieces of fruit this year, Canghai was not sure.

Except for kiwis, it takes time to finish it. The old saying goes, Tao San, Xing Si, and Li Wu. Although there are cheating things on Canghai, they cannot be played too big. Annual fruit trees can hang fruits on the branches. The villagers cannot doubt it, but they must mutter about this matter, because such a situation violates their long-standing life experience.

Of course, Canghai had already considered some such issues when planting. The fruit trees were all selected for one or two years old. If they had fruits this year, it would not be too strange. Of course, the most important thing was Canghai's small operation. Not only did the fruit trees cheat, but the fruit trees planted by other families in the village were also taken care of by Canghai.

Canghai is not very vain, so it is certain that his own fruit trees are taken care of. For example, if other fruit trees bear 100 kilograms of fruit, Canghai’s own fruit trees have to bear 150 kilograms. In short, you have to suppress others. It is like Canghai’s vegetable garden. The whole village grows the best and tastes the best. This is Canghai’s little selfishness.

"It's better to sell it!" Ping An licked his lips.

This kid is a little reluctant to eat expensive things. Although he is not very smart, he is very concerned about saving money. If the passbook in his original hand was not for his mother Yan Meijuan's coercion and temptation, it would be difficult for others to deduct it.

"Okay! Sell money," Cang Hai said with a smile.

"Second brother, look, soak melon seeds!"

After walking for a while, Ping An called Canghai in surprise and squatted on the side of the road to see a small seedling.

Canghai walked over, stretched his head and looked at it, and found that it was really a seedling plant that had just emerged. Some leaf veins had just appeared on the two small leaves, and the characteristics of the small melons could be seen.

The little popcorn is the name of Canghai's hometown. I really don't know what the scientific name is Canghai. The fruits produced by this thing are a bit like a thief-shaped watermelon, which is about the size of a pigeon egg. It is very bitter when it is green. When it grows into a whole small fruit, it turns golden yellow. It tastes a bit like the golden cantaloupe sold on the market, but the aroma is not as strong as the cantaloupe.

When I was young, when Canghai was fine, I would go to the nearby fields in July and August to find these small fruits to eat. However, because the fields here are quite dry, this kind of melon is not common. You can find a pocket in one afternoon.

Ping An saw this little squirt and smiled like honey. After squatting down, he looked around and finally ran to the vicinity to break a small branch, drew a circle around the small squirt, and then inserted the small branch next to the small squirt seedlings.

"alright!"

After doing all this, Ping An patted the mud in his hand and said with a smile.

Canghai knew what Ping An’s movement meant. He drew a circle and then inserted a stick. This meant that he told others that this little bubble melon was the first to discover and let others not move.

It's like a country kid found a soaked cow dung on the side of the road, and then used a branch to mark the cow dung on it, telling others that it was discovered by themselves. In this way, no one would move the cow dung, and the child could go home and take the manure basket and pick up the cow dung.

Children in the city may not know the use of cow dung. In their hometown in Canghai, cow dung has many uses. One can be used to fertilize the fields, and the other can be used as fuel after drying them. The burned ash must be sprinkled into the fields to continue to fertilize the fields.

"What's the use of drawing a circle now? Waiting for it to grow, your circle has been gone for hundreds of years," Cang Hai said with a smile.

Ping'an's face immediately collapsed after hearing this: "What should I do?"

"Then will I always draw a picture in the future?" Ping'an blinked his eyes and thought for a while and asked at Canghai.

Canghai didn't know what to say, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

Hearing that his main station had received Canghai's approval, Ping An was happy again. He squatted down and grabbed the small wooden stick to draw the circle around the seedlings deeper. Finally, he inserted the small branches again, and then stood up and chased Canghai with a bucket.

The two guys have really discovered a lot of things along the way. They were not valuable things at that time, such as dandelions, small wolfberry seedlings, etc. Things that had not appeared last year now seem to appear.

Canghai felt that this might be the credit of the birds, otherwise the loess slope that originally had nothing to grow would not have grown these plants at once. Even if they were born out of nothing, they would have to evolve over ten thousand years.

It took about twenty minutes for the two guys to arrive at the place Wei Wenkui said.

When Canghai saw this place, he was surprised because there was a small pond here now. The afternoon sun shone on the water surface in the first period, and the entire small pond surface was reflected into a water mirror. The images of the loess slopes on both sides were reflected on the water surface, and there were still some different beauty.

"Second brother, shrimp!"

Ping'an didn't have the same state of mind as Canghai. He had no intention of enjoying the scenery at all. As soon as he arrived at the edge of the small pond, he immediately stretched his head to look at the things in the pond. Soon the kid found groups of small shrimps next to the pond.

The gray-black shrimps are now gathering together, surrounding the tender water grass bushes beside the pond. Now the weather is getting warmer, and the water and the grass on the shore have just been released. Many grass stems still have a fresh tender yellow color, and they are not tall. Most of them are just a tall knuckle, so the shrimps are naturally easy to be discovered.

After being yelled by Ping An, Canghai had no aesthetic desire anymore and walked to the pond to look at the shrimps in the pond.

"A little small!"

Looking at the shrimp, Canghai couldn't help but sigh.

The shrimps in the pond are not big now, and many of them are probably not as long as a fingernail when they are pulled apart.

Seeing the shrimps, Cang Hai thought to himself: No wonder no one came to catch them now. It turns out that these small shrimps can’t be eaten!

The shrimps in spring were originally not very meat, but now they are so small, so they are naturally even worse. I can’t tell you how to taste the dried shrimps.

Seeing Canghai frowning, Ping An asked, "Do you want it?"

Turning back to see Ping An looking eager to try, Canghai finally nodded: "Get rid of it, just grab less, just have enough to eat."

Hearing Cang Hai's words, Ping An put the bucket in his hand on the ground, sat down directly, and began to take off his shoes and roll the corners of his pants.

The kids in the countryside, especially those who don’t wear socks all year round, so the kid took off quickly and stood barefoot on the ground in a few seconds.

"Second brother, hurry up"

Ping An urged Canghai while moving his toes.

Canghai slowly found a clean floor and sat down, took off his shoes and socks, then turned over the socks and stuffed them into the shoes, then rolled his trouser legs to his knees.

"You'll go down first after you finish it, try the depth of the water, I'll come later. This matter is still waiting for me," Cang Hai said with a smile.

Ping'an immediately walked to the edge of the pond after hearing this. When he put his feet into the water, he couldn't help but thrust his teeth.

"What's wrong?" Cang Hai asked.

Ping An trembled slightly: "The water is cold!"

"The water is naturally cold now," Canghai replied casually.

Standing up, he reached out and took the bamboo basket from Tietou's hand, and Canghai walked towards the wall.

When Canghai put his feet into the pond, he suddenly shivered and couldn't help but say, "I'm going, it's really cold!"

After two or three seconds, Canghai stood firm in the pond.

Just the water gives Canghai the feeling, it seems to be three or four degrees lower than the well water in the village. At this time, it feels like you are stabbing in winter when you put your feet in.

Ao!

At this time, Tietou saw Canghai and Ping'an entering the water, and it also stretched out its feet to come in and play, but when its little black foot touched the water, it immediately shrank back and was so cold that it was whispered.

"Just stay on the shore honestly."
