Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 104

When Chang Man returned to the paddy field, Zhang Zhang, Chang Zhu, and Chang Liang had already arrived, and they invited Boss Yu and the two helpers he brought with him.

Seeing Chang Man walking on the ridge of the field, his face sank slightly, and he muttered, "When did you come back, and why did you come here?"

Chang Man was not angry either, he grinned and said, "Cheng Zi, I just got home and I heard that your family is going to catch fish, so I came over to help."

When Chang Zhu and Chang Liang saw him, they all greeted him happily. They were relatives with Chang Man. Naturally, Zhang Zhang couldn't show his face too much. He just curled his lips, pulled Zhang Yun to his side, ignored him, and turned his head Talk to the fish boss.

Zhang Yun couldn't be too obsessed with his elder brother, so he could only show a helpless expression to Chang Man. He really understood, just smiled at her, and started taking off his shoes and socks together with Chang Zhu and Chang Liang. , Rolling up the trousers, ready to go to the paddy field to catch fish as soon as the agreement is settled.

The fish boss invited by Zhangzhang was surnamed Tang, he was about forty years old, his face was a little dark, and he was quite strong. At first glance, he had worked his way up from the bottom. He spoke very honestly. We chatted with Zhangzhang for a while, He said: "Then we don't need to talk about other things, it depends on how the fish and shrimps look. If they are good, I will take care of them all."

With Boss Tang's words, Zhang Zhang and Zhang Yun were all happy. Zhang Zhang immediately turned his head and walked to the edge of the field, taking off his shoes and socks. Chang Man, Chang Zhu, and Chang Liang had already prepared. , I took a dozen or so large buckets placed by the paddy field, and went to the field with both hands.

Now the rice seedlings in the paddy fields have already been harvested, and there are only fish and shrimp left in the ditches and ridges in the fields, nothing else.

The four boys went down to the paddy field one after another. The water in the field soaked their feet, almost reaching their calves. It was already winter, and the water in the field was freezing cold. When they went down, they were all wiped out. I was shivering from the cold, and after a while, my feet became stiff and numb, and I lost consciousness.

Although it was terribly cold, the few of them did not delay too much, they all dispersed, waded to the four corners of the paddy field, put the buckets into the four corners of the ditch, there are all drains over there, as long as they are blocked When the mud and rocks are dug up, the water in the paddy field will flow out, and the fish and shrimp will naturally be washed into the bucket.

Since the four corners released water at the same time, the impact of some water flow was slowed down, so that the fish and shrimp would not be washed out of the bucket. After a while, the two buckets in each person's hands were filled with muddy water and fish and shrimp.

At this time, Zhang Yun got busy, running in various directions with an empty bucket in his hand, handing it to the four of them one by one, while Boss Tang and the two helpers he brought helped take the full bucket, to allow the corners to be re-inserted into the empty bucket.

After about two quarters of an hour, all the water in the paddy field had drained out, revealing the muddy slurry, and the furrows and ridges were clearly visible. Standing on the ridge of the field, Zhang Yun saw at a glance that there were many fish and fish in the ridges. The prawns fluttered and were not washed away by the current.

"Brother, look, there are still a lot of fish and shrimp in the field." Zhang Yun called out loudly, pointing to the field.

The four people in the field pushed the full buckets onto the field ridge, and then turned their heads to look at the field ridges. There were indeed many caught fish, so they all turned their heads and walked to the field ridges.

"Brother, be careful, the mud on the ground is very slippery, don't fall." Zhang Yun hurriedly reminded them loudly, several people smiled and waved to her, their feet naturally did not dare to be careless, step by step to the falling fish and shrimp go.

Boss Tang and the others had already slowly poured out the muddy water in the buckets on the ridge of the field, and merged the buckets with less fish and shrimp, which freed up a few empty buckets. Allow them to throw the bucket over.

Zhang Zhang, Chang Zhu, and Chang Liang all caught the empty bucket steadily, and Zhang Yun carried the last empty bucket to Changman's side.

When he arrived at the field ridge near Changman, Zhang Yun called him, holding an empty bucket in both hands, and was about to throw it out. How did he know that the weeds beside the field ridge were wet with muddy water? But it slipped suddenly, and suddenly she leaned forward, making her scream in fright.

Chang Man, who was standing in the paddy field, was waiting to pick up the empty bucket thrown by Zhang Yun, but he didn't know that this scene happened suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively ran towards her.

The mud in the field was very slippery, but Chang Man couldn't take care of it. He strode forward and staggered and slipped several times. When he saw the edge of the paddy field, he stepped on something and slid forward with one foot. , his back fell into the mud, but before landing, he still supported Zhang Yun with his hands and caught Zhang Yun firmly.

Zhang Yun just fell on Chang Man's body, but he opened his mouth and shouted without making a sound, "Yun'er, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Zhang Yun fell to the ground, until Chang Man yelled, and then he regained his senses a little bit, his heart was pounding violently, but he quickly realized that he struggled to his feet, and turned his head to look at Chang Man who was acting as his own flesh pad. Full.

"I'm fine. How are you? Did you get hurt?" Although Zhang Yun was petite, he still had some seventy or eighty catties. Just hitting him like this had a huge impact, which made her heart beat faster. Worrying about whether he was injured.

It was only now that Zhang Zhang and the others had reacted from the sudden change, and hurriedly staggered and slid towards this side.

Seeing Zhang Yun's face full of anxiety, Chang Man stretched out his hand and shook it, pretending to be relaxed and said: "It's okay, I'm not hurt, you're not much heavier than a kitten, you can't hurt me."

"You're still joking up here, come on, get up quickly, it's cold in the muddy water, be careful of freezing." Zhang Yun didn't have the heart to joke with him, and quickly reached out his hand, trying to help him up.

Chang Man smiled and stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and with the other hand propped up on the mud floor, he slowly stood up, the muddy water behind him flowed down the river, dripping down, and a lot of it seeped into him The collar slid down his back, the cold touch made him tremble, and he let out a soft cry.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Yun heard his cry, thinking that he was hurt and screaming, so he hurriedly asked, looking straight at him, from head to toe, not letting go of anything.

"Hehe, it's okay, some water has flowed into the clothes, it's so cold." Chang Man smiled very happily, enjoying Zhang Yun's concern for him, the dirty, smelly, cold body, and being smashed by her Everywhere I went, the dull pain became insignificant, and I felt very sweet in my heart.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and asked a few more urgent questions. After hearing his reassurance that he was not injured, he was completely relieved.

"How is it? Are you not injured?" At this time, the three of Zhang Zhang and the others gathered around and asked Chang Man one after another. Seeing that he smiled and said he was fine, they felt relieved.

"Seeing that you're so wet, you'd better go back and change your clothes. The three of us are enough. Let's go." Seeing that he was covered in mud, he was afraid that he would get sick from the cold. It would be embarrassing to say that, so he spoke. Chasing him back, Chang Zhu and Chang Liang also followed suit.

Chang Man looked down, the thin mud on his body was still ticking down, and it was really hard to stay any longer, so he nodded, took a few steps forward, raised his legs and stepped onto the field ridge, then turned around, stretched out his hands With Zhang Yun's hand, she also stepped onto the field ridge.

Seeing that he was about to go back, Zhang Zhang turned around and scattered, holding an empty bucket to pick up the fallen fish and shrimp.

After Zhang Yun stood still on the ridge of the field, Chang Man didn't intend to stay any longer. He turned his head to watch Zhang Zhang and the others turn around. No one paid attention to this side, so he whispered: "Yun'er, I have good news. I'll come to you tomorrow, and I'll come back tomorrow." Tell you carefully."

"En." Zhang Yun responded softly, and then urged, "Okay, I understand, you should go back and change your clothes quickly, if you delay, you may catch a cold."

Chang Man really felt that his body was very cold, so he didn't delay any longer. He went over to pick up his shoes and socks, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Yun with a smile, he strode forward. After a while, he left the field ridge and set foot on the yellow mud road .

Zhang Yun kept watching him go, and only looked away when his back was blurred.

The fish and shrimps falling in the paddy field jumped a lot, and their hands were very slippery, so it took a long time for Zhang Zhang and the others to pick up all the fish and shrimps into the bucket, then walked slowly to the edge of the field, and stepped onto the ridge .

Boss Tang had already looked at the fish and shrimp he caught, and he was quite satisfied with it, so he immediately agreed to buy all the fish and shrimp here, and let Zhang Zhang and the others pick them up and follow them to the town, so that they could settle the money.

Seeing that Boss Tang was so forthright and things went so smoothly, Zhang Zhang was naturally overjoyed. The three of them found a grass ditch and washed all the mud off their feet. Then they put on shoes and socks and went with Boss Tang and the others with a bucket .

Zhang Yun followed them out of the field ridge road, and when they got on the yellow mud road, Zhang Cheng said: "Yun'er, I will go there with Boss Tang, you should go back first, you see that you are dirty, go back and change. "

Although Zhang Yun didn't fall into the mud just now, he was thrown all over by the splashed mud, and he was indeed a little dirty, so he nodded in agreement immediately, and quietly bit Zhang Zhang's ear, telling him to hold on to the price, but Don't sell cheap.

After hearing this, Zhang Cheng winked at her, indicating that he understood, and then headed towards the town with the barrel, while Zhang Yun went in the opposite direction and returned to Tuntian Village.

After returning home, Zhang Yun changed his dirty clothes and trousers. While changing his clothes and trousers, he thought of Chang Man casually. When I see him tomorrow, I must take a look at his complexion. If there is no problem, I will rest assured.

Thinking in his heart, Zhang Yun didn't delay when he got his hands, he quickly changed his clothes and pants, gathered the other unwashed dirty clothes at home, and took them to the Qingling River to wash them.

When the next evening, Zhang Zhang came back with a face full of excitement, took out the money bag when he got home, and handed over the five taels of silver he got from selling fish and shrimp to Mrs. Zhou.

Seeing Yinzi, Mrs. Zhou smiled until her eyes turned into crescent moons, and said that her daughter is capable, so she thought of such an idea of ​​getting money.When Zhang Liangen and Zhang Youqing came back, Mrs. Zhou told them the good news.

During dinner that day, there was constant laughter on the table. During the period, Zhang’s family had a discussion. They were going to sell the tea oil. After the pigs were slaughtered and sold, the money they got would be used to buy paddy fields. Fish and shrimp, if you can balance rice, fish and shrimp, you can eat big white rice at home, and there are many ways to make money, which makes people happy when they think about it.
