The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

There are so many river shrimps that you can catch one every time you scoop them up.

People here don't eat river shrimps, but this is a bargain for the fish that eat shrimps.

Lin Dajiang was originally standing on the river bank watching the little ones, but when he saw how happily they were catching fish, he couldn't help but take off his shoes and join in the fun.

One net, one scoop, shooting from both sides.

Lin Jingzhe and Li Erli were having a lot of fun fishing.

I don’t know if it’s edible, but at best I can just treat it as a water fight.

Lin Xiaoman was tired of catching fish and sat down on the river bank.

The river bank is bare, with wild grass growing pointedly. It seems that the green buds here have not been spared.

She looked at Lin Jingzhe, who was a teenager and at the age when she was playful, and while scooping up some water, she threw a handful of water at Li Erli.

Li Erli chuckled and put his hands into the river.

"Hula la."

The next moment, Lin Jingzhe became a "drowned chicken".

Lin Dajiang doesn't help anyone and goes wherever there are long-bearded insects.

If what Xiaoman said is true, these long-bearded worms can be eaten, then he will catch more of them and dry them.

This way you can save a lot of rice and flour.

Nowadays, people who have a lot of land are still plowing the land, so no one comes to hang around the river. If it were the slack season, their actions would probably be untraceable.

It seems I will have to come here at night to fish next time.

After about half an hour, Lin Dajiang felt that his feet were about to be chapped, so he gave up the idea of ​​catching the long-bearded worms.

He called the two boys and Lin Xiaoman to go home together.

Li Taohua, who was tidying up at home, looked at the four people's backpacks full of long-bearded insects and her head was buzzing.

"These densely packed long-bearded insects are really scary~"

There were not enough basins at home, so Li Erli brought two large basins from his home.

Lin Jingzhe put the shrimps in the basket into a basin, and even went to the river to fetch some water, fearing that the long-bearded worms would not be able to adapt to the change of water.

Three full basins.

Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

If they were placed where she came from, these three pots would cost at least a thousand yuan.

No one is eating here, what a waste!

Lin Guyu looked at the long-bearded insect and wanted to reach out and catch it.

As soon as he put his hand into the basin, he pulled it back in fear.

Lin Xiaoman asked: "What's the matter? Is Guyu scared?"

Lin Guyu nodded: "Sister, just now you went to catch the long-bearded insect, and mother kept nagging for a long time."

"The long-bearded worm is poisonous. I told you not to touch it?"

Lin Guyu blinked, "How did Sister know?"

Lin Xiaoman chuckled and pinched Guyu's hair.

"Look, the four of us have all encountered long-bearded worms in the river. According to Auntie, we would have died a long time ago!"

As soon as the voice fell, Li Taohua slapped Lin Xiaoman on the back, muttering: "Pooh, pooh, pooh, the child is ignorant, the child is ignorant, Wuliang Tianzun, Taishang Laojun, and the Jade Emperor must not blame Xiaoman."

Lin Xiaoman laughed loudly: "Mother, what does Wuliang Tianzun do, and what does the Jade Emperor do?"

Li Taohua glared at Lin Xiaoman. Her daughter had been stupid for twelve years and now she was finally no longer stupid. She was not allowed to say anything unlucky.

"No matter what they do, as long as they are Bodhisattvas, that's enough."

"Okay~" Lin Xiaoman didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

However, she, who had never felt the love of family since childhood, found that although such days were bitter, they were enjoyable.

—

After the water boiled with the long-bearded worms cooled down, Lin Jingzhe rushed out of the house like a rabbit.

I caught an unlucky rabbit in Li Erli’s rabbit hutch, put it in a backpack and gave it water.

The rabbit was frightened and ran around in all directions, but did not touch the water in the bowl.

Lin Jingzhe was anxious.

The bright red long-bearded insect that was locked in the cupboard by his mother was still waving at him.

Li Erli smiled unkindly on the side, thinking that he was still a child after all, everything showed on his face.

"Don't worry. Even if the rabbit drinks water, you won't be able to eat the long-bearded worms for a while. You have to wait until tomorrow when the rabbit is fine, then your aunt will let you eat it."

"All right!"

Lin Jingzhe was dejected. He put down the bowl in his hand, walked a few steps away, took a small stool and sat down to wait.

After the man left, the rabbit took a long time to calm down.

After being quiet, the gray rabbit erected its ears and kept an eye out for any movement.

Seeing no one coming, he carefully approached the bowl...

Lin Jingzhe watched the rabbit drink water and didn't dare to breathe.

There is some excitement mixed with some disappointment.

The excitement is that the rabbit finally drank water. We will know tomorrow morning whether it can eat the long-bearded worms.

The disappointment is, if the long-bearded worm is really poisonous, can we still eat the rabbit after it dies?

If it can’t be eaten, wouldn’t it be a waste of a fat rabbit?

Lin Jingzhe sighed, and Li Er urged: "Didn't you say that Xiaoman is a lucky star? Why are you thinking so much?"

"Life is so hard with not enough food to eat and not enough clothes to wear." Lin Jingzhe looked at the worn-out shoes on his feet and said in a muffled voice, "Xiao Lidong is over one year old, and there is not even rice at home. He can't even eat rice porridge."

Lin Jingzhe suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Erli. "And your eldest brother's daughter Miaomiao is five years old and doesn't even have a decent piece of clothing. Your mother altered her clothes, right?"

Li Erli said gloomily, "Now that you have rented the house left by your elder brother, you can buy some cloth to make clothes for Miaomiao."

Lin Jingzhe shook his head and looked at the rabbit that was already drinking water. "That's not enough. It would be great if the long-bearded worms were really edible."

He pointed to the pregnant rabbit in the rabbit den and smiled: "We have to feed it well. We are counting on it to give birth to rabbits and sell them for copper coins!"

Li Erli felt a little ashamed of what Lin Jingzhe said.

How come he never thought about this?

I just want to have enough to eat every day and raise Miaomiao to adulthood, so that I can live up to my father and brother.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jingzhe, who is younger than him, knows more than he thought.

"Don't worry, rabbits grow fast. Maybe my house will be full of your rabbits in the future." Li Erli laughed, "Also, rabbits can dig holes. When there are too many rabbits, the nest now won't be big enough."

—

Lin Jingzhe didn't sleep well that night.

Lin Dajiang too.

The next morning, the two got up before the roosters at Li Erli's house next door crowed.

Li Taohua saw the boss leave the house in a daze, so she turned over and continued to sleep.

The old man and the boy walked into the kitchen and saw a locked cabinet, then they remembered that the long-bearded worm was locked in the cabinet.

Lin Dajiang glanced at the brat and said, "Why, do you want to test the poison on yourself?"

Lin Jingzhe glared back: "Dad, don't you have the same idea?"

"Hey!" Lin Dajiang grinned, "I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. I've lived to such an old age. If it's really poisonous, it's worth dying for. But you're only twelve years old, your hair hasn't even grown out yet, and you haven't married yet..."

"Dad!" Lin Jingzhe blushed.

"Oh, you know how to be shy now? Have you gotten the hang of it?"

Lin Jingzhe blushed: "I'm not stupid! I'm already twelve! I'm not a child anymore!"
