The afternoon was fine, so Lu Jianguo went back to his room with Ye Yuanrong to take a nap.
Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan paralyzed on the sofa to eat, outside the rainstorm downpour, the air is moist, cool and pleasant, the two paralyzed do not want to move.
The two of them are in the middle of the night, and they are in the middle of the night.
Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh, "It would be perfect if there was a dog."
Lu Baichuan was confused: "Why a dog and not a cat?"
Zhou Yan rolled over and looked at Lu Baichuan, "I used to follow a food blogger, she just lives in the countryside, has a dog, a few sheep, grows her own food, home has flowers and fruit trees, all fruits and vegetables have their own home output, even wine can be brewed, every time I saw her microblogging, I was envious to death, thinking that one day if I save enough money, I will also look for such a one. A place with beautiful water and mountains, planting the front and back of the house with all kinds of fruit trees, and then planting the land when you're busy and raising flowers when you're free, that's the life of a fairy."
Lu Baichuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then you've never thought of marrying a woman like that to spend your days with?"
Zhou Yan didn't expect his focus to be so biased, and even assured, "Absolutely never thought about it!"
Zhou Yan was telling the truth, it was strange to say, although he had always envied that blogger's life, he had never thought of marrying a daughter-in-law like that, he just wanted to be able to live that kind of immortal life when he was tired, and even thought that it would be perfect if there was Lu Bachuan next to him as a neighbor.
Lu Bachuan heard him say no, so he didn't ask any more questions, no matter if he had thought about it before, he was the one accompanying him now anyway.
The two of them were silent for a while each, and when Lu Bachuan saw that he was silent, he said, "If you want to get a dog, wait until the rain stops and let mom go to the village to ask if anyone has a newborn puppy, just carry one back and raise it."
Zhou Yan was curious: "Is that even possible?"
"Why not, the village people raise dirt dogs, and none of them are neutered, every time they have puppies, their own family can't even raise them, they're carried away by village people or relatives." After a pause, looking at the scenery outside the house, he said, "It's actually quite nice here, do you see those mountains on the other side?"
Zhou Yan didn't understand why he suddenly talked about the mountains across the street, but he's not blind, his eyesight is now much better than the average person, when he walked to the river before, he could see what kind of trees were on the other side, so with a face I'm not blind again, he said: "I see."
Lu Bachuan lifted his foot and kicked Zhou Yan's calf, and said: "A few hills over there are from our village, there are all kinds of trees on the hills, when I was a child my family was poor, in the spring my mother would take me to the opposite side of the hill to pull bamboo shoots, that is the kind of long and thin, you can eat fresh, but also can be made into smoke shoots."
"In the summer, like this after heavy rain, the next day you can go to the mountains to pick mushrooms, several mountains of mushrooms, grandparents living here, we know what kind of can eat what kind of can not eat, never heard of anyone eating mushroom poisoning, the taste can be fresh, sometimes a day can pick a lot, can not finish can also be dried. "
Zhou Yan laughed and said, "Mushroom picking lad?"
Lu Baichuan glared at him and continued, "In the autumn, that's even more fun, the fruits on the mountain are ripe, what with the autumn pears, persimmons and chestnuts, and every time after school in the afternoon, they always pester the adults to go over and pick them, and when the land's bankers are done harvesting, they can go digging for mudbugs in the fields."
Zhou Yan was not happy: "So much fun, before I came over in the summer holidays, I didn't see you take me out to play!"
Lu Bachuan gave him a blank stare: "Who was the one who didn't even want to leave the house back then except to go swimming in the river in the afternoon and stay home every day to play games."
Zhou Yan accosted him with a smile.
He actually knew why Lu Bachuan told him this, it was just that he didn't feel so secure, and Lu Bachuan was really good to him, as long as he wanted, presumably the moon in the sky, Lu Bachuan would try to get it for him.
All he could do was return the same goodness, as well as try to put his mind at ease.
The two of them on the sofa chatted with one another, the rain outside the house also gradually stopped, the sun came out of the clouds, the colorcher district bright.
Lu Bachuan looked outside and saw that only the eaves were dripping with rainwater, getting up and saying: "Get up, said so much, now take you out to see" Zhou Yan excitedly said: "Go what?"
Lu Bachuan: "Catching mudfish."
Zhou Yan short-circuited his brain for a moment and sang in all five voices, "The pond is full and the fish have stopped, how about big brother, how about we go catching loaches?"
Lu Bachuan looked helpless: "Why are you so childish today?"
Zhou Yan was righteous: "I'm only childish in front of you!" After a pause and as if he had thought of something, he walked over to Lu Bachuan with a bad smile on his face and leaned over and said something in his ear.
Lu Bachuan heard it and all of a sudden even his neck turned red, annoyed, "Are you still going or not?"
Zhou Yan: " Go go go go!"
Halfway down the stairs, Lu Baichuan couldn't help but turn back and say, "Where do you think I see you, anyway?"
Zhou Yan was righteous: "Look good on me!"
This time Lu Bachuan completely didn't want to talk to him anymore.
In the grocery room on the first floor, Lu Bachuan found a plastic bucket and handed it to Zhou Yan, and he went through it again to find a bamboo basket to take with him.
On the way Zhou Yan had nothing to say, "Senior, look there's a rainbow!"
Lu Bachuan wasn't really mad at him, just a little embarrassed, now naturally he wouldn't ignore him, "Mmm! Saw it."
Zhou Yan: "I wish I had my phone with me and could have filmed it, I haven't seen a rainbow in years."
Lu Bachuan: "Now you're not afraid of others seeing it and wondering why your phone still has a charge?"
Zhou Yan slumped his head, like a cat that can't eat fish: "Just saying! It's not like we're actually taking it out."
Lu Bachuan urged, "Then let's go quickly, maybe the rainbow will still be there when we get back, and you can shoot it at home then, as much as you want."
Lu Baichuan led Zhou Yan to a rice field outlet with a gentle slope, and the rice field above was farther away from the one below, so that the puddle was two to three meters long.
Zhou Yan's eyesight was unmatched, and he could see from a distance that a group of loaches were trying to swim upstream against the current, but because of the slope of the puddle and the downward flow of the water, the loaches were almost all staying in place.
Lu Baichuan gently put the basket in the bottom of the puddle to find a good position, wait to make sure that the loach can not escape from both sides after entering, then instructed Zhou Yan to start from the top of the current to drive the loach, he held the basket at the bottom.
Zhou Yan looked at the loach, wanting to go down but also wanting to watch for a while, this feeling is like many people in love, obviously to the extent that the confession will be successful, but still can not help but want to enjoy the ambiguous feeling for a while.
Zhou Yan, who is never one to drag his feet, only admired it for a while, then he pulled some weeds from the side and started to grip them from the top to the bottom, and when he reached the bottom, the bamboo basket in Lu Baichuan's hand was already filled with half a basket of loach.
After Lu Baichuan dumped the loaches into the bucket, he asked Zhou Yan to start from the top and start from the bottom again, and found a few fish that had escaped from the basket.
Zhou Yan looked at the two or three pounds of loach in the bucket and exclaimed, "You can actually catch loach like this, huh?"
Lu Baichuan: "Loach like to go against the current, usually after heavy rain, as long as there are loach in the field, in this kind of current can always find some, more or less just depends on luck." Then there was quipped: "You have very good luck today!"
Zhou Yan is silently proud of himself, that's right, even such a thing as rebirth can happen to me, can my luck be bad?
The two looked for a few other similar currents, and only fished for a pound or so of loach in one, and either a few in the others, or even nothing in some, but overall, the harvest was rich.
Lu Bachuan couldn't help but still ask, "Why do you have to go to see it?"
Zhou Yan swallowed and said, "Didn't our dad say that fish was delicious?"
Lu Bachuan though moved him to remember his parents' preferences, and after a pause still said, "He has a complete set of fishing gear, and if he wants to eat fish, he'll go to the river himself."
Zhou Yan: "That's different!"
Lu Bachuan didn't argue anymore, since Zhou Yan had this intention, it would seem rusty if self repeatedly stopped him.
When they returned home, both Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong were already up, rubbing corn kernels in the living room.
Seeing Zhou Yan carrying a bucket, Ye Yuanrong ran over to look at it, weighed it up with his hand, and said jokingly, "It's been years since I've seen Bachuan so childish."
Indeed, in the countryside, except for those who make a living from it, catching fish and loach ah, are things that only children like to do.
Zhou Yan was afraid of Lu Bachuan's embarrassment, and was busy taking it upon himself: "I was the one who pestered the senior to go."
Lu Bachuan, however, was not happy: "I'm doing this to improve our lives, okay? You know we're still living off of last year's Chen Grain vegetables and various dried vegetables!"
Ye Yuanrong rolled his eyes, unable to argue, in the eyes of the village people, they were just like the other families who had just returned from the city and were living the same life.
Then Lu Bachuan went to find a jar, cleaned it with water and handed it to Zhou Yan, using it to raise loaches.
Zhou Yan did the same to the loach also divided, large in the jar, eat as much as fish out, small to the space, into the preparation of the rice in the land to raise.
