"Mom, look, I caught a bug that can fan the air!"

"Wang!"

Yuanbao called out to the insect that was flapping its wings in Fu Ling's hand. From the look in his eyes that showed he was determined to get it, it was clear that he had been coveting this insect for a long time.

There are even insect wings at the corners of its mouth, and you can tell at a glance that it has tasted insects.

Fu Ling stood on tiptoe and raised her hand in front of Fu Wan. Feeling the cool breeze blowing towards her, Fu Wan looked closely and immediately laughed.

"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a bamboo shoot worm!"

"Bamboo shoot worm? We call it a little fan!"

Fu Ling replied excitedly, and Fu Wan took the bamboo shoot worm from her hand.

"Mom, do you want me to teach you how to play?"

Fu Ling looked like he was taking her out to play, and Fu Wan couldn't help laughing. When she was playing with bamboo worms, she didn't even know where this kid was!

She reached out and stroked the wings of the bamboo worm twice. Not long after, the bamboo worm flapped its wings instinctively again, and a strong wind blew towards her face.

Who hasn’t played with bamboo shoot worms as a child?

Bamboo shoot worms are actually large bamboo weevils. The shell of this insect is reddish brown and the surface is very smooth, and it feels very good to the touch.

This creature is a pest that usually lives in bamboo forests and usually feeds on bamboo shoots or tender parts of bamboo.

This insect has a strong flying ability when it grows up, and its wings will flap violently when stimulated. In the past, when there were no electric fans, children liked to catch these insects. They could fan themselves, play with them, and protect the bamboo from pests.

After all, although bamboo shoot worms are so small, they can cause great harm to bamboo. Although their lifespan is only about 20 days, they can quickly cause bamboo to become bald, yellow, rot and die.

In addition to catching them for fun, bamboo worms can also be fried in a frying pan like cicada monkeys and eaten. After all, it is a meat dish. When they were young, Fu Wan and Fu Ming were the pioneers in catching insects among the children.

"Where did this bamboo shoot worm come from?"

Fu Wan returned the bamboo shoot worms to Fu Ling, and Fu Ling proudly pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"My uncle took us there, and we caught a lot of cicada monkeys! My uncle said he wanted to fry them for us to eat!"

The admiration in his words made Fu Ming, who was busy in the kitchen, smile.

"Haha, Zhiliao Monkey will be well soon, just wait!"

Qin Mingzhu, who was standing by, hurried into the kitchen upon hearing this. She used to be most afraid of insects, and today when she went out to catch cicada monkeys, she didn't even dare to reach out.

But Fu Ling was not afraid at all and followed Fu Ming to visit every tree in the village.

Children have limited abilities. Fu Ming originally went to the bamboo forest to look for the wild little black boy. When he saw his niece jumping around under the tree looking for cicada monkeys, he couldn't help but run home to find a bamboo pole and a small piece of broken net to make a simple tool to catch cicada monkeys.

Then he went out with the children in high spirits.

Fu Ming had practiced the technique of catching cicada monkeys since he was a child, and since he was tall, he caught more than 20 cicada monkeys in a short time.

This action shocked Fu Ling and his group of children. Fu Ling was proud of it and jumped for joy.

Jack, Robert and Tom also found it interesting and caught a few as well.

While they were catching cicada monkeys, Fu Ming also caught a few bamboo worms for Fu Ling and the others to play with.

After an hour, Fu Ling's small basket was filled with cicada monkeys and bamboo worms.

Jack, Robert and the other two thought that Fu Ming had caught these insects specifically to feed the chickens and ducks. However, they didn't expect that as soon as he got home, Fu Ming went into the kitchen, found a bowl, filled it with cicada monkeys, turned around and started heating the pan to fry cicada monkeys.

This action left Robert and Tom stunned for a long time.

It turns out that it is not for feeding chickens and ducks, but for feeding them!

"Wan, Ming made a big bowl of bugs!"

Seeing Fu Wan coming back, Robert ran out of the kitchen with a frown and complained.

Tom's face didn't look much better. When they came back, two bamboo worms flew to the ground. Yuanbao quickly jumped over and licked them into his mouth.

The scene of the insect pulp splashing everywhere is still echoing in their minds.

How can humans eat this thing?!

If Fu Ming hadn't treated them like brothers these past two days, he would have thought that Fu Ming was deliberately teasing them!

Fu Wan smiled when she heard that. "Fried cicada monkeys are delicious. If you don't believe me, try it later."

"Is this really edible?"

Robert asked hesitantly, and Fu Wan nodded affirmatively, "It's edible, and it's delicious."

"After dinner tonight, go to bed early. The tide will go out at four in the morning. Then I will take you to the beach."

Going to the sea?!

I’m finally going to catch seafood with Fu Wan!

Robert, Tom and the other two were instantly distracted by this sudden news.

It rained this morning, and they thought it would take a few days before they could go out with Fu Wan, but they didn't expect that they could go fishing in the evening!

In fact, this was also the decision made after discussion between Fu Wan and Fu Ming. It was really unbearable to watch the three of them strolling around the beach all day, wanting to go to the sea but being too embarrassed to follow the villagers.

"Wan, there's no need to go in the early morning, let's go after dinner!"

Tom couldn't wait to speak, Fu Wan shook her head and explained to them the pattern of high tides recently.

"Go after the tide goes out. You'll definitely find something good then. After dinner, take a nap. My brother will call you when the time comes."

What's more, it started to rain outside at this moment.

Seeing this, Robert and his friends had no choice but to give up and prepare to have dinner obediently.

Fu Ming cooked dinner, and after he came back, Ye Xiaocui could only help him.

Looking at Fu Ming humming a song while cooking, Fu Wan suddenly remembered that she had not told him that Qin An Ning had returned.

Oh, damn it, how could she forget about this!

"Brother, I received a call from Bai Qianzhou in Beijing a few days ago. They have completed their mission and returned to the camp."

"What?! They're back!"

Fu Ming was so shocked that he almost dropped the salt spoon in his hand into the pot. After reacting, he couldn't wait to chase Fu Wan and ask, "Is your sister-in-law back yet?"

Fu Wan shook her head. "He hasn't mentioned this yet, but it should be almost time. My sister-in-law hasn't contacted home recently, so I guess she'll be able to take a vacation once she's done with these few days."

According to Qin Anning and her colleagues' vacation schedule, they will take a vacation after completing their tasks, so the time is about the same.

When Fu Ming heard that his wife was coming back, he was so excited that he started thinking about what food to prepare for Qin An Ning.

You've been out for so long, you must have lost weight.

Shi Jiugong's stewed soup is the most nutritious. He has to catch two more in the next two days, and he also has to arrange for the nine-segment shrimp that Qin An Ning likes to eat. He will talk to his uncle later and ask him to pick out a few pounds of fat ones for him.

At dinner, Robert and Tom were hesitant to pick up their cicada monkeys on the table. It was Jack who, seeing Fu Wan and the others enjoying the meal, closed his eyes and stuffed his food into his mouth.

I thought there was no fishy smell at all, but instead there was a strange crisp fragrance.
