Chapter 5: Sweep the fish with a dustpan and broom
005 swept the fish with a dustpan and broom. "Well, grandma won't tell her what to do with the loan first, or else the chicks won't hatch by then, but it's impossible to say." Xia Sang continued.
"It's still grandma's thoughtful thinking." Xia Beibei said with a smile.
"Okay, Jiuniang, you are at home, grandma went to dig the roots." Xia Sang stood up again.
"Grandma, you..."
"Juniang, be obedient, grandma won't dig the roots, we'll have to starve tonight." Xia Beibei was about to stop her when she was interrupted by Xia Sang.
"Hurry up and eat this half bowl of egg custard." Before leaving, she did not forget to explain.
"Grandma..." Xia Beibei could only watch her grandma go out and grit her teeth secretly.
After Xia Sang's departure, Xia Beibei walked out of his room and looked at the sky. It was still very early. In the pond behind him, he definitely couldn't go there. Got caught.
Even if grandma doesn't let her go, she must go.
She took a deep breath and remembered that there was a big dustpan at home, which was used by grandma to remove the chaff. She picked up the dustpan, carried a bamboo broom and a wooden bucket, and took it out the door. .
asked her what she wanted to do, of course, catching fish.
But, what she wants to catch is not the big fish in the pond, but the small fish in the small ditch in front of her house.
Although the fish in the pond are big, they are not as many as the small fish in the ditch. There are also many small loach and small yellow eel.
She only needs to block one place with a dustpan, and then use a broom on the other end to sweep the dustpan in the ditch, scaring the small fish and shrimp, and they will naturally go into the dustpan.
Moreover, the ditch is not far from her house, and no one will find it.
Don't blame her for wanting to eat alone, and she doesn't want to be discovered by the villagers. Now that there are locusts in the radius of hundreds of miles, it is difficult to find food, and she and her grandmother are dependent on each other in Xiajia Village. She can only think about herself. .
The villagers in the village, there are strong men in every household, they can go out to find part-time workers, only she and grandma...
Besides, catching fish is also an activity, so she can’t be known to everyone, right?
After half an hour, Xia Beibei went home with a wooden barrel, a broom, and a dustpan.
The old hen in the house was clucking in the railing, probably because it was empty and couldn't find anything to eat.
She was very happy, so she caught a lot of fine fish in the wooden barrel and threw it into the railing.
The old hen immediately began to peck and eat.
Xia Beibei carried a wooden barrel and came to the kitchen, excitedly looking at the wooden barrel, something bigger than an adult man's fist, what is it?
Of course it's a hairy crab.
God, when she saw the hairy crab just now, she almost screamed excitedly, but fortunately she stopped in time to avoid anyone's attention.
Such a big hairy crab, no one has caught it. She deserves to be cheap.
She brought a big wooden basin, which was a little worn out, but still usable, poured water into it, and then poured all the small fish in the wooden bucket into the big wooden basin.
Then washed the soil in the wooden bucket clean, poured some water, caught the four hairy crabs and put them aside.
