Chapter 44 Good Luck Bonus
Old Man Li breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Wu herself also breathed a sigh of relief. She collapsed on the ground holding the stone and cried softly.
Li Tian felt disgusted when he saw Wu's appearance, but he didn't say anything. He was just thinking about what would happen next. Li Liang took his wife and daughter aside. It was better for them not to get involved in the affairs of the eldest family. So as not to get stuck on anything.
The sun was setting in the west, and Nanzhi yawned and stretched his waist before getting down on the bed.
The temperature outside was indeed cooler than that at noon. Although it was a little better, it was still as stuffy as a steam oven. Nanzhi took a gulp of cold well water before leading the guy out.
The dog followed Nanzhi with a fish basket in both hands. The two pigtails on her head were swaying like a little girl, which made Nanzhi very happy.
"Auntie, why are you laughing?"
Nanzhi, who was walking in front, suddenly burst into laughter, which startled the dog. He was curious to see Aniang's trembling smile.
"I think our dog looks like a little girl." Nanzhi said, pulling up the shrimp net he was holding.
"Mommy, Gou'er is a boy, not a little girl." Gou'er wasn't angry and just explained to Nanzhi seriously.
"Okay, okay, Gou'er is a boy. This time it was my mother who was wrong. Gou'er forgive me, okay?"
After hearing what Nanzhi said, Gou'er was stunned and asked, "Why should Aniang apologize to Gou'er?"
Nanzhi was still smiling, looking straight at the road ahead, and said loudly: "Because Aniang said something wrong, even if it was a joke, if it makes the listener unhappy, then it is wrong."
Gou'er raised his head to look at the tree shadows that kept passing over his head, and asked: "Then Grandma Wu had a fight with her, why didn't she apologize? Gou'er used to cry when he saw Grandma Wu."
Nanzhi was stunned when he was asked, and it took him a long time to realize that Gou'er was talking about the time when the Wu family bullied the original owner in private.
"Some things don't have so much right and wrong. Dogs can only understand these when they grow up."
The dog nodded thoughtfully and continued to follow Nanzhi with his legs.
When we arrived at the place where we caught shrimp in the morning, there were already many people there. Most of them had family members who had been injured in the earthquake. I heard yesterday that fish soup is nourishing, so they all came to catch fish today.
"Nanzhi, what are you holding?" Aunt Qin looked at the two shrimp nets in Nanzhi's hands and was a little confused. What these things are, they don't look like bamboo nets or nets.
"Is Aunt Qin also here to fish for the things I mess with?"
Nanzhi asked with a smile.
"Hey, isn't it?" Aunt Qin smiled and nodded after listening to Nanzhi's words, "You still have an idea. My daughter-in-law didn't have much milk to begin with, but she did produce milk after drinking the fish soup. It's all thanks to you. .”
Of course Aunt Qin was not joking. After drinking the fish soup, little Zhou had enough milk for two days in a row. Not to mention how happy the little baby was to eat, she then thought of trying her luck. This morning I also heard that Mrs. Sun took three fishes back home.
She didn't believe that she couldn't do it. If nothing else worked, she could just touch a few river clams and make porridge or something.
"What's the point? Madam Qin, you're busy, I'll go to the front and take a look."
Nanzhi smiled and waved.
Aunt Qin also wanted to have more time to fish, so she just smiled and said yes.
Thinking that there were many people down there, Nanzhi walked up a little further, and could only see Aunt Qin and the others in the distance. Then she found a place with more water plants and put down her homemade simple shrimp net.
"Mom, this cage is for you." Gou'er saw his mother put the two strange things into the water before he raised the fish basket in his hand.
"Thank you, Gouer, for helping Grandma get the things." Nanzhi took the fish basket and praised the dog, and then threw a few scraps of river mussels into the fish basket, because it had been left there all afternoon and the weather was hot and cold. It's hot, and it smells very fishy now, which means the fishy smell can easily attract those fish, shrimps, crabs and the like.
When the dog saw Nanzhi taking out the mussel meat, he covered his nose and said, "Mom, it stinks."
"My mother doesn't stink, it's this stink." As he said this, he was about to hand the mussel meat in front of the dog, which frightened the little guy and took several steps back.
"Hahahaha, the dog is so timid." Nanzhi joked heartlessly, and didn't stop until she saw the dog's little face slowly turning red.
Passed passed.
"The dog is angry with grandma?" Nanzhi asked, squatting in front of the dog.
"No, the dog is too timid to protect grandma." The little guy drooped his head and held the corners of his clothes tightly with his two little hands.
"The dog is very courageous. It's my mother who is bad, scaring the dog." Seeing the little guy's little thoughts, Nanzhi felt a little guilty, then pointed to the smelly mussel meat on his hand and said, "The dog knows why. Does this meat stink?"
The dog thought, nodded and shook his head, clasped his hands and whispered: "The weather is hot, and the meat will go bad."
"The dog is so smart. Does the dog know why A Niang took it out?"
"have no idea."
Nanzhi looked at the dog who still lowered his head and continued: "These meats are used to catch shrimps and crabs. The farther the smell of mussel meat floats in the water, the more shrimps and crabs will be attracted. .”
"The hotter the weather, the fishier the mussel meat will taste, which is what dogs call smelly."
The dog became more interested, tilted his head and asked, "Will Chongchong smell the stinky smell and come over?"
Seeing Nanzhi nodding, the dog looked at the clam meat on her hand again, then took a deep breath and said, "Don't be afraid, dog. If the meat is smelly, you can catch insects. If you catch the insects, you can eat them." .”
After hearing what Gou'er said, Nanzhi was happy and stopped teasing him. She just asked him to wait for her on the bank while she went down to the river with the fish basket.
I found what I thought was a "good place" to put the fish basket, and then put two more stones on it to finish it off.
After that, we continued to touch river clams.
Maybe it was because the water level upstream was deeper. In more than two quarters of an hour, Nanzhi had found more than a dozen river mussels. The largest ones were as big as a dog's head, and the smaller ones were as big as her palm.
After putting the river mussels aside, she thought of checking the shrimp net. When she reached out to pick one up, she found seven or eight river shrimps on it, as well as two crabs that kept waving their claws.
Looking at these trophies, Nanzhi made a sound and went ashore with the shrimp net. She poured the crabs and shrimps into the small bucket she brought before putting the shrimp net into the water.
He squatted down and picked up another shrimp net. Minnanzhi looked at the three small shrimps jumping around inside and let out a sigh. Is this a big gap?
Looking at the river shrimps, which were less than three centimeters long, she was not ready to catch them. Just as she was about to put down the shrimp net, she suddenly remembered something.
"Dog, come here."
Hearing Aniang calling him, the dog quickly ran over to the small wooden barrel: "Aniang, what's the matter?"
Nanzhi held a shrimp net in one hand and pointed at a piece of bamboo with the other hand and said, "Dog, go touch this piece of bamboo and say you want to catch a lot of river shrimp."
Although the dog didn't understand what his mother-in-law meant, he obediently stretched out his little hand to touch the bamboo piece and said in a sweet voice: "The dog wants to catch a lot of shrimps."
