Chapter 174 Catch toads in the rain
After planting soybeans for two days, the third day was corn, sorghum, millet, millet, millet, etc. Although these are not as good as soybeans, they can still be harvested, so it is still good to keep them at home to eat.
As for potatoes and sweet potatoes, they can be planted a few days later. Zhou Anhe and others can come up and plant them again, and there is no need for children to help.
"Everyone work quickly. The weather is not very good today, and I'm looking at it going to rain.
Let’s just hold on tight, don’t rest for too long at noon. Hurry up and walk back after finishing your work, so as not to be poured by the rain.”
At half-day, Zhou Anhe looked up at the sky and saw that the sky in the north was a little cloudy and seemed to be raining, so he turned around and said to everyone.
Everyone agreed when they heard this, and then accelerated their work.
On this side, Han Caiying digged the ground and muttered, "I don't know how our dad and the others entered the mountain?"
I left yesterday afternoon and haven’t come back yet. Alas, it’s also worrying.”
You can encounter anything in the deep mountains and forests. Although Mr. Han and his grandson are very capable and have hunting rifles, they are afraid that some wild beasts will suddenly appear and suffer in a hurry.
"It's okay, don't worry, our dad is first-class in his skills and shooting skills. Even if he really encounters any beast, he will be killed by his dad.
I guess I'm just walking too far away. Wait a little longer. If not, Junlin and I will continue to stay and see the garden tonight." Zhou Anhe comforted his wife.
The couple chatted for a few words, then lowered their heads to work again, and they were busy until eleven o'clock in the afternoon. Han Caiying and Liu hurried back to cook hot meals.
Yesterday, the old lady made a lot of buns, and today I brought a lot of them for lunch, so I just need to heat up.
Just as the meal was served here, he heard a heavy footstep. Han Caiying hurriedly came out to check it out. It turned out that Mr. Han and his grandson and his three grandchildren were back.
"Dad, you are finally back. We were so worried that we didn't encounter anything, right?" Han Caiying asked hurriedly.
"It's okay, it's all going well. I finally found the bear this morning. It was indeed dead. It was bitten by the tiger and bleeded to death.
What a big bear. We felt so heavy that we couldn't move it, so we cleaned it up there and then carried it back." Mr. Han smiled.
The bear died a little longer, so I am afraid that the meat cannot be eaten, but there are dogs that cannot be eaten by humans. It is also great to bring it back to feed the dogs.
Especially Ah Huang, now feeding the little tiger, eating more meat can make you more milk, so the three of them didn't feel so heavy. After dealing with the bear's body, they brought the meat back.
"How is the family? Is that little tiger boy okay?" The old man was thinking about the little tiger boy. Don't try to get the meat back, but the tiger boy is gone.
"Dad, Huzi is fine. Last night, I stewed a pot of meat with them and fed Ah Huang a lot.
Tiantian fed Xiaohuzai some milk powder this morning. It’s okay, I love to drink it and should be able to support it.”
Han Caiying smiled and said, probably this was fate, and the little tiger met Tiantian. If no one looked for it, the little tiger would probably starve to death.
"Okay, okay, as long as you can support me, it's not in vain for our sweet intentions." Old Mr. Han looked very tired and sat on the wooden pier and rested and gasped.
"Dad, the food is hot, come in the house for dinner. After dinner, I will rest. It seems that it will rain in the afternoon." Han Caiying greeted Mr. Han and the others all went into the house to rest and wait for dinner.
The people working in the fields there also came back, so everyone quickly washed their hands and went to eat buns.
After lunch, everyone had no rest and hurried to the field again.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky gathered more and more, and the sky became darker and darker. Look at this, I am afraid there will be a considerable rain.
Everyone rushed to plant the ground, and before they could pack up their things, the raindrops fell.
Fortunately, it was not heavy at the beginning. Everyone hurriedly packed up their things, found a few raincoats to block the rain for the children, and then got into the car quickly.
Zhou An and his wife arrived on the 30th day, and the mule cart was on the mountain for the past two days and they had not been back.
I originally thought of rushing back today, but when I saw the weather, I had to give up. Put the mule cart on the mountain first. If it doesn't rain anymore, Zhou Anhe will come up to catch the car again.
Everyone hurriedly got into the car, and Han Liwei drove away. The car was driving while raining, falling down, both of them.
The car ran for a while and came to the vicinity of the river bank of the Tauzi River. At this time, the sharp-eyed Han Liwei and others found that many things on the ground were jumping upwards.
"Oh, there are still toads coming ashore at this time? There are still many, look." Han Liwei pointed outside.
Toad, a name for forest frogs in Northeast China. This creature will jump from the mountains to rivers in autumn to spend the winter, go ashore when it rains in spring, lay eggs in the pond, and then go to the mountains to live.
There is less rain in spring this year, and less toads come ashore. If it rained a lot all year round, there would be no toads by May Day.
Zhou Tiantian and the three sisters were driving in the building, and at this time they also saw the toad, "Oh, there are so many, look, there are all jumping around in that place."
"Second uncle, stop the car quickly. Let's go down to catch the toads. I'll go home and stew it in a pot." Zhou Yanyan is a boy. When she saw the toads on the ground, she became energetic. She had to go down to catch the toads and stew it back.
Han Liwei was actually quite moved, so he stopped the car and jumped down, "Sister-in-law, brother-in-law, there are so many toads on the ground. Should we catch some of them back?"
Everyone in the car, especially the boys, stared at him, and said, "Then you need to say? Of course, I'll catch it, go, and go down to catch the toad."
As he said that, the boys jumped out of the car and began to grab the toads jumping on the ground.
When Zhou An, Han Caiying and others saw that they were also in the rain when they were sitting in the car, it was the same when they went down to catch the toad. So what else to say? Catch it.
So all these people got out of the car and started catching toads on the road.
In the past few years, the ecological environment has been damaged so much. Not only are there many toads but also big. It is more addictive to catch a piece of meat.
This is the last batch of toads this year. A large number of toads jumped up from the river and saw people jumping on the road.
Everyone was so excited that they didn't care whether it rained or not, they just looked for it with their heads down and went to catch it when they saw it.
It took about an hour to catch it. Later, everyone saw that it was quite a lot of catches, almost a bag, so they stopped and got in the car and walked back.
There were still many toads jumping on the road, and people were jealous of them, "If I catch this for a night, I'm afraid I'd have to catch hundreds of pounds, right? It's so much."
Jiang Junqi leaned on the carriage board, turned her head and looked out, and said regretfully.
"Why do you catch so much? Just enough food for us. People must learn to be content and not be greedy." Chang Yanzhe glanced at his cousin and said lightly.
People are inevitably greedy, so later on, there were very few wild toads.
