24 - Chapter 24 Twenty-Four (Catching Insects)




It's been more than a month since they returned.
In the afternoon, Zhou Yan and Lu Baichuan went to the field to water the vegetables, the seedlings in the field have turned green and strong, four season beans and beans can be seen climbing up the vine, the eggplant and pepper are already hanging fruit, and a few bitter melon seedlings are already climbing half of the bamboo tip.
The little milk dog is following them around on the ridges, and is already bigger than when they first got it.
Zhou Yan saw that it already had several pale ears stuck to it, frowned and drank: "Big Yellow come here, don't run around."
The little yellow dog didn't pay any attention to him and continued to spread its four little short legs with a bounce.
Lu Baichuan couldn't look at it without wanting to laugh: "Before it was called Little Yellow, you had to rename it Big Yellow, it really didn't take care of you, did it?"
Zhou Yan did not look guilty: "It was only called Little Yellow when it was young, and it will naturally be called Big Yellow when it grows up, otherwise it would still be called Little Yellow when it grows tall and strong, and it would not live up to its name."
Lu Baichuan said: "Can't it wait until it gets old and change its name to Old Yellow again?"
Zhou Yan said, "No more changes, or Big Yellow will be angry!"
Said handing the bucket in his hand to Lu Bachuan, he ran over and picked up the little yellow dog, one by one pulling off the pale ears stained on the dog's fur.
When you go to sleep at night, see Zhou Yan's expression of wanting to say something and eventually holding back, after a few times like this, Lu Bachuan couldn't take it anymore and asked: "What do you really want to say, say it quickly! As long as it's not a girl you're interested in to say break up, I can accept all the others, don't look like you want to stop talking, oozing panic."
When Zhou Yan saw him say that, it was not good to hide it anymore, swallowing and saying, "I want to go outside to take a look."
It wasn't impulsive for Zhou Yan to think this way, ever since he came back here, from the beginning of the reorganization, building the wall, and then the ground was busy non-stop, he didn't have time to think nonsensically, but from the second half of the month when he was free, he felt like the days were not real at all.
In his last life at this time, he was living in the base with no guarantee of food and shelter, but now this place was like a paradise, afraid that one day he might suddenly wake up and find that it was a dream.
He had been listening to the radio every night since he was free, carefully listening to each and every content, listening to the radio every day about which city had fallen again, which small base had been attacked by zombies.
Although he had memories from his last life, he knew that even one year after the zombie outbreak, on the eve of his rebirth, all the major military bases were still intact, but he couldn't help but worry that one day the whole world would fall, and only their small isolated world would be left.
Lu Bachuan heard his words and was startled before asking, "Why do you want to go out, is it bad here?"
Unlike Zhou Yan, this was his hometown, and safe enough, his relatives and loved ones were also here, it was not like enduring those dangers outside, without being in the fear that he could lose his relatives and loved ones at any time, whether he was called spineless or a coward, as long as the people he cared about were safe and well by his side, he was willing to nest here even if he had to nest here for the rest of his life.
Zhou Yan listened to his tone, afraid that he might misunderstand, he even explained, "I just want to see how it's going outside, I'll be back soon."
Lu Baichuan saw him say that and thought, "Wait for a few more days, we'll go out together then."
Zhou Yan said, "If you go with me, Mom and Dad will be even more worried."
Lu Bachuan said urgently, "Do you still want to go out alone! Wouldn't we be worried if you went?"
He said that even his eyes were red.
Zhou Yan looked so distressed that he was busy hugging him, "No no, I'm not afraid that you're in danger, right?"
Lu Baichuan was angry: "But I'm also afraid that you'll be in danger!"
In the beginning, Zhou Yan didn't feel like he could go alone, so he immediately answered, "Then let's go together."
Zhou Yan wasn't sure why Lu Bachuan said that he wanted to leave a few days later, but he thought that Lu Bachuan must have his own reasons, so he didn't ask more questions, since he had already made a deal, Lu Bachuan would definitely not go back on his word.
Until the third morning, he woke up in a daze and habitually stretched out his hand to the side and touched it, but it came up empty.
It was important to know that since they had started studying the Cyanogen Notes, perhaps because of the progress, he had been sleeping less than Lu Bacchuan, waking up before Lu Bacchuan every day.
When he woke up, he used to look at his lover next to him, and each time he was exceptionally relieved, but today, he was nowhere to be seen, and even the place where Lu Bachuan had been lying was not even warm.
Zhou Yan Huo, directly rolled up from the bed and ran to the living room.
Only after opening the door, he saw Lu Bachuan coming out from the kitchen with a large bowl.
When he saw him come out, he smiled and said, "I just wanted to wake you up, but I didn't expect to come out, so hurry up and wash up! Come over for breakfast after you've washed up."
In their house, it was usually Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo who were cooking, and Zhou Yan would occasionally cook, but Lu Bachuan never cooked.
Now seeing him coming out of the kitchen early in the morning, he was not a little curious and wanted to see what was on his end.
Lu Bachuan saw him over, but with both hands holding a bowl, a steady turn, said: "Hurry up and wash up! You can't see it until you've washed it!"
It was good that he didn't hide, but when he did, it piqued Zhou Yan's curiosity instead.
It's just that he didn't die stealing to see it, he just ran downstairs at speed and went upstairs after washing up haphazardly.
But he saw the three of them sitting at the table waiting for him, and when he saw him come over, Lu Bachuan smiled and pointed to the bowl in his place and said, "Try it, how does it taste?"
Zhou Yan went over to see the bowl of hand-tied noodles, covered with a few leaves of green vegetables and a chicken leg, the soup was cool orange and yellow, it should be a good hanging chicken soup.
It should be a bowl of hand-tied noodles with all the colors, aromas and flavors, but because of the uneven thickness of the noodles, it is slightly inferior.
Zhou Yan was moved and asked, "Did you pull this bowl of noodles?"
Lu Baichuan nodded and said, "Right! I pulled it off, just one noodle for the whole bowl, to finish it all." Laughing again, he said, "And happy birthday!"
Zhou Yan realized what was going on when he heard him say that there was only one noodle for the whole bowl, and later he really heard him say Happy Birthday, so he couldn't help but blush, but he didn't want to be found out, so he pretended to drink the soup and lowered his head.
Remembering the time in his last life, when he was just like now, he simply forgot his birthday, also that morning, Lu Baichuan didn't know where to get hanging noodles, cooked him a bowl of noodles, because not as good as the current conditions, not to mention vegetables and chicken legs, not even green onions and eggs.
It was then that he began to notice that Lu Bachuan's feelings for him were different.
Now never once, Lu Bachuan also prepared noodles for him, but he was touched only more and less, the only difference is that now they are together.
Ye Yuanrong saw him silent, afraid that he felt the noodles were not good, explained: "The noodles are Bacchuan begged me and last night, chicken soup is also last night on the hanging, just the noodles he had to pull himself, the result of the coarse thick thin, in order to make the coarse places are cooked, on the more cooked for a while, the taste is definitely not good, not good if there are other in the pot. "
Zhou Yan didn't wait to swallow the noodles in his mouth before saying vaguely, "It's delicious!"
I don't know if it was because he had something in his mouth or something else, but his voice was a little hoarse.
According to the custom of the Lu family, the birthday boy is not allowed to work on his birthday, not to mention that they will not let Zhou Yan do anything now that he is already free.
So after breakfast Lu Bachuan dragged Zhou Yan to fish in the river.
The fishing rod is Lu Jianguo's, because he loves this activity and has more than one set of fishing gear at home.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the newest version of the book, which will be available on the website.
Because it had rained yesterday, Lu Baichuan found a place to put the hooks down, unlike other places where the water flowed rapidly, the water flowed a little bit here because there were big rocks above.
Zhou Yan was filled with anticipation and was a little disappointed to see that the fish pulled up was only the size of an adult's index finger: "Can such a small fish be eaten?"
Lu Bachuan smiled, "Wait until you try it, you'll know, this kind of fish we call boat nail fish here, the whole fish has just one vertebrae, it's tender and fat."
Lu Baichuan took the fish off the hook and put a little bait on it, then said, "And this kind of fish all appear in piles, and if you can catch one, that means there's still a group of them, so hurry up and try it."
The two of them have been fishing almost non-stop all morning, even if the fish is small, they have caught half of the bucket, until later, the fish hooked up more and more slowly, it is estimated that the group of fish are almost all caught by them, then they get up and go back.
When they arrived home, Lu Baichuan saw that there were indeed quite a few fish in the bucket, so he discussed with Ye Yuanrong and poured half of it out, dividing it into two portions, each portion having almost two pounds.
Intending to take it to Uncle Lu San and Lu Baiming's family as a little return gift of thanks for their warm hospitality when they first returned.
Lu Baichuan took Zhou Yan to each of them to send home, as a result, the third aunt touched two handfuls of pickled vegetables from the jar to them, saying that it was used to cook this fish is the best, two people no matter how much excuses are useless, only to accept, not to mention that people have said that it happens to be used to cook fish.
The two people carry two pots of fish out, and as a result, two more pots of stuff things back, on the way to look at each other, a sigh, was going to return the favor, but the result is more and more accumulated.
