When Tong left, he took away the remaining half jar of wine, saying that it was "not a waste..."

Lin slept until the afternoon and immediately felt refreshed. He did not get a headache like others who drank alcohol. He looked particularly energetic.

Zhang laughed and said, "How come Third Sister-in-law looks so different after waking up from a sleep?"

Li also said, "I think so too."

"I don't know why, but the feeling of being slightly tipsy is really good. I feel light, comfortable, and relaxed." Lin explained.

"Is there such a thing? Next time I'll try drinking a few more glasses." Zhang said.

It was a rare afternoon that the Xu family was relatively free. Qibao and Liuge sat together on the chairs in the corridor of the yard. The two fair-skinned little kids looked so pleasing to the eye.

The more Xu Laosan looked at his daughter, the more he liked her. He walked over, picked up Qibao and said, "Dad has been very busy these days and has no time to accompany his daughter. Come on, Dad will take you out to play."

Qibao said, "Dad, put me down. I can walk by myself." After all, she was not a six-year-old child at heart, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Xu Lao San said, "Dad just wants to hold you in his arms. But in two years, when you grow up, Dad won't be able to hold you even if he wants to."

Qibao stopped talking after hearing this. She could feel her father's love for her, so she put her arms around Xu Laosan's neck and rested her head on her father's shoulder.

Xiaoliu also followed behind happily. He met many villagers along the way, but they were all elderly. The young people in the village were all working for the Xu family. However, when they saw the father and son of the Xu family, they would go up to them enthusiastically and say hello. To them, the Xu family was their great benefactor.

Xu Laosan also nodded and greeted them one by one. The three of them walked all the way to the small river where the villagers washed clothes. There were many unknown small wild flowers growing by the river, which were really beautiful.

Xu Laosan said, "My daughter, dad will make a wreath for you. My daughter is pretty and it will look beautiful on you. You and Xiaoliu stand here and wait for dad." After saying that, he put Qibao out of his arms.

Qibao watched his father bending over to pick some colorful wildflowers when suddenly a sound of running water came from the stream...

Qibao took a few steps forward and spotted red creatures floating on the water plants near the river bank. Xiaoliu also walked over to look into the river and said, "Sister, these are red worms. Last time, my fifth brother caught one to play with, but one of its claws pinched my finger and made it bleed. Sister, please don't touch these things."

Qibao's eyes lit up. People here call this thing a red worm? This was clearly the most popular and famous snack in his previous life. It also had a cute name, called crayfish.

Spicy crayfish was one of Qibao’s favorite foods in his previous life.

Qibao said, "Sixth brother, I'll show you something fun."

Xiaoliu scratched his head and asked, "What's fun?"

Qibao pointed to the crayfish in the river and said, "That's it!"

Xiao Liu was so scared that he waved his hands and said, "No, no, these red worms will hurt when you bite them. It's not fun at all."

At this time, Xu Laosan came over and said, "What are you two talking about?" As he spoke, he started to make a wreath.

Qibao pointed at the crayfish in the river and said, "Dad, I want this crayfish. This thing is delicious when it's cooked."

Xu Laosan looked in the direction Qibao pointed and asked in confusion, "I only saw a lot of red worms, but I didn't see the crayfish you mentioned?"

Qibao smiled and said, "This thing is also called crayfish. It sounds better than red worms. I've seen it at Master's place. It's delicious. I want to catch some and cook it for you tonight!"

When Xu Laosan heard Qibao say that this thing was edible, he didn't doubt it and said, "This thing is very clever. As long as someone gets close and makes a big movement, it will sink into the water. It's very difficult to catch."

Qibao said, "I have a plan, Dad. Let's go home and prepare some things. We will definitely be able to catch him."

Xu Laosan did not hesitate and said, "Okay, let's go back now."

The three of them returned to Xu's house, and Wang asked, "Didn't you say you were going out to play? Why are you back so soon?"

Xu Laosan told Wang what Qibao had said.

After hearing this, Wang was a little surprised and asked, "Qibao, you said this red worm is edible? But its shell is so hard, I'm afraid I can't eat it. Won't it knock out my old teeth?"

Qibao burst out laughing and said, "Grandma, you can't eat the shell. You have to eat the meat inside."

The old man said on the side: "Well, since Qibao wants to eat it, let's go and take a look together. We can also taste it."

Qibao said, "We need to prepare some tools."

Xu Lao San said, "What do you need? Just tell me, my daughter, and I'll go get it for you."

"We need line and food bait. Earthworms are the best bait, but other meat will also work. Then tie it up with a stick. Crayfish love to eat these, so they'll immediately grab the food and hold on. Then we can catch the lobster."

Next, Wang went to the kitchen to cut some meat, Lin got some sewing thread, and Xu Laosan prepared several bamboo poles.

After everything was prepared, they took a bucket and the family headed towards the river.

Arriving at the river, Qibao asked his family to prepare the fishing rod. Then he gently placed the meat next to the lobster floating on the water. The lobster immediately grabbed the food with its big claws. Seeing that it was almost done, Qibao picked up the bamboo pole, pulled the lobster up, and put it into the bucket.

Qibao thought these lobsters were so easy to catch! It was probably because not many people would catch them, so they didn't have any sense of danger and wouldn't let go once they saw food, which was why they were so easy to catch.
