Lu Chuanbei put on a one-piece waterproof suit for Song Tiantian and tied her waterproof boots tightly, otherwise water would leak in from the top of the boots.
"Dad, are you done?" Song Tiantian was holding a small shovel and a small bucket, and couldn't wait to start digging.
"Alright, alright." Lu Chuanbei checked her carefully, making sure everything was tied tightly before he felt relieved: "Let's go."
"Yeah." Song Tiantian hurriedly took Lu Chuanbei's hand and walked towards the canal in the north.
The canals in Beiyang Village, except for a few canals in the middle that are made of cement, are all ordinary yellow mud ditches surrounding the junction between the village and the fields.
Therefore, the several canals that lead from the village to the fields are often blocked by yellow mud due to the erosion of rainwater.
Song Tiantian carried a small bucket and followed Lu Chuanbei to the canal in the middle of the village.
The canals here are made of cement, so it doesn't take much time to clean them up. You just need to clean up the garbage inside.
The hardest-hit area is where the village meets the field. Without cement to hold it in place, part of the dug canal has been washed away.
Lu Chuanbei picked up a shovel and directly shoveled away the collapsed yellow mud to clear the canal again. He then used a flat shovel to pat the yellow mud around the canal several times to fix it and prevent it from collapsing again after being dug through.
Song Tiantian also helped with her small shovel. She put the yellow mud she dug out into a small bucket and poured it to the edge of the field.
Don’t be fooled by Song Tiantian’s small size; she wields the small shovel with great force.
But at this moment, Song Tiantian exclaimed: "Dad, look, there are loaches here!"
"Loach?" Lu Chuanbei looked up hurriedly.
Song Tiantian shoveled a loach covered in yellow mud and handed it to him: "Dad, look, such a big loach, it looks delicious."
"Haha, you're really greedy." Lu Chuanbei said with a smile: "Okay, when dad sees it later, we can catch some more and make a plate of fried loaches, how about that?"
"Okay, I like to eat fried loach. It's crispy and fragrant and delicious!" When Song Tiantian talked about the taste of fried loach, her big eyes began to light up.
While this father and daughter were clearing the canal and thinking about catching more loaches to take back, another father and daughter were not having such a good time.
Especially Xu Qi, when he saw the loach crawling out of the yellow mud that was shoveled out, his screams almost scared the fans who were watching the live broadcast.
Song Tiantian looked up in the direction of Xu Qi's scream: "Dad, Uncle Xu is screaming again."
Lu Chuanbei guessed with a smile: "I guess Director Xu must have been frightened by the loach he dug up."
"Loach is so delicious, what's there to be afraid of?" Song Tiantian tilted her head in confusion.
"Your Uncle Xu is afraid of living loaches. If it were fried loaches, he would probably enjoy eating them more than anyone else." After just two days, Lu Chuanbei had already figured out Xu Qi's timid and foodie nature.
[That's right, Director Xu is screaming right now while talking about all sorts of delicious loach dishes to boost his courage!]
[Director Xu is indeed a food documentary director. The names of the dishes I heard made me salivate.]
It was from Director Xu that I learned that loach can be used to make so many delicious dishes.
[Haha, Director Xu is currently nervously reading out the dishes while putting every loach into the bucket. He's definitely a foodie!]
When Song Tiantian was busy digging yellow mud and catching loaches, a small wooden stick caught her eye.
As soon as she saw the length and size of the small wooden stick, Song Tiantian thought of the guide device she had come into contact with in the space last night.
She just picked up a small wooden stick and started to gesture.
Of course, an ordinary small wooden stick could not cause fluctuations in mental power, so after playing with it for a while, Song Tiantian immediately remembered the pattern engraved on the guide device.
Song Tiantian found a small stone nearby and started carving on the small wooden stick.
Although Tiantian still doesn’t know what the functions of these patterns are, with her excellent memory, the patterns she carved out are quite realistic.
Seeing her squatting on the ground without even standing up, Lu Chuanbei couldn't help but step forward and ask worriedly, "Tiantian, what's wrong with you?"
Song Tiantian was already immersed in carving the guide map and didn't reply for a long time.
When Lu Chuanbei walked forward, he saw Song Tiantian holding a triangular stone and carving something on a small wooden stick.
"So he was carving something for fun." Lu Chuanbei didn't think too much about it. After seeing that Song Tiantian was fine, he continued to clean the ditch.
Not long after, Song Tiantian stopped and looked at the small wooden stick in her hand with disappointment.
It turned out that Song Tiantian had memorized the pattern on the guide device by relying on her memory.
However, Song Tiantian overestimated the coordination of her little hands, and coupled with her lack of control over the size of the pattern, she only carved a small half of the wooden stick and could not carve the rest.
Song Tiantian sighed regretfully: "There's still a long way to go."
Although, Tiantian is still not satisfied.
But the fans in the live broadcast room who saw her use small stones to carve so many patterns on the wooden stick had already exclaimed in amazement.
【Tiantian’s hands are so skillful! 】
How did she carve so many designs on such a small stick?
If Tiantian hadn't studied Chinese medicine, she might have become an artist or sculptor!
[Not to mention, the patterns on the small wooden sticks carved by Tiantian are quite beautiful.]
Although Song Tiantian was disappointed that she failed to carve out the guide device, she still cherished the small wooden stick that she carved for the first time and put it in a small bucket.
Coincidentally, the excavation of the canal in Luchuanbei has also come to an end.
Lu Chuanbei straightened up and looked at the canal in front of him, which was already half dug. "It's almost done. I'll do the rest this afternoon."
"Tiantian, pack up your things and let's go back."
"Okay!" Song Tiantian stood up, picked up her small bucket, and ran towards Lu Chuanbei happily.
"Let's go."
As soon as they arrived at the village, Lu Chuanbei and his friends met Xu Qi and others who had also returned.
Xu Qi shouted loudly to Lu Chuanbei from a distance: "Xiao Lu, look, I just caught some loaches. Let's cook them for lunch!"
[Good boy, you haven't forgotten to eat yet? ]
[Director Xu, it's okay. I was so scared just now, but now I'm thinking about eating!]
[As expected of Director Xu, I'm convinced! ]
I don’t know if it’s the tacit understanding among foodies, but the four groups of canal diggers all put the loaches they dug out from the canal into buckets and brought them back.
"Crash"
All the loaches in the bucket were poured into the basin, filling the basin half full.
A few loaches followed suit, squeezed together with their brothers and sisters, jumped up and smuggled out openly.
That scene almost scared Xu Qi to run away, but Xu Anjia on the side quickly grabbed the loach that fell in front of Xu Qi and threw it back into the bucket, so that Xu Qi did not scream.
Xu Anjia patted her muddy hands and glanced at Xu Qi.
[Hahaha, Director Xu, is your daughter disgusted by you?]
Xu Anjia: Just this little thing?
[Pfft... Director Xu, are you okay?]
[I can't take it anymore. I'm already embarrassed for others. Director Xu, how can you be worse than a little girl?]
[Although, when I was little, I was very brave and dared to catch anything, but when I grew up, emmm...]
[It’s true. When I was little, I wasn’t afraid of anything. But now, as I grow older, I’m becoming more and more afraid of this and that.]
I really wish I could share some of the courage I had as a child with myself now.
Xu Qi coughed awkwardly a few times and quickly changed the subject, "Well, I'll go to the kitchen to see what else is left."
"Uh..." Fang Xiuzhu glanced at him: "It seems that there are not many vegetables in the refrigerator."
"Then let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some." Xu Qi said, "It's best to buy a piece of tofu. Loach stewed with tofu tastes fresh and tender."
"That's right." He Xuebin nodded in agreement, then looked at Fang Xiuzhu: "But Brother Fang, do we still have money?"
Fang Xiuzhu shrugged: "I used it all to pay off my debts!"
"What?" Xu Qi looked at them in disbelief. "You don't even have enough money to buy a piece of tofu?"
"Don't worry, don't worry. We can still make money even if we don't have any." Lu Chuanbei looked towards the grape yard calmly. "It just so happens that we can pick another wave of grapes these days. If we pick a basket and take it to the supply and marketing cooperative, we can at least get 20 yuan."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Without saying a word, Xu Qi grabbed a bamboo basket from the side and ran towards the vineyard.
"Get another basket and pick more." Fang Xiuzhu hurriedly shouted, "We can add a few more vegetables later."
"Okay!" He Xuebin grabbed the bamboo basket and ran towards the vineyard with He Jingnian and Xu Anjia.
Fang Xiuzhu looked at the loaches still wriggling in the basin and looked towards Lu Chuanbei: "Come on, let's wash them all together."
"Wash half of it. You won't be able to finish it if you wash all of it."
"Okay, then wash half and keep the rest."
While they were busy processing the loaches, Xiangfangnan saw the bucket that Song Tiantian had placed aside. When he saw the wooden stick stuck in it, he was unconsciously attracted to it: "The pattern on this stick is so beautiful."
"This." Lu Chuanbei cleaned the mud and slime off the loach, turned his head and said to him with a smile, "Tiantian carved these for fun just now."
"It's really beautiful." Xiangfangnan took the wooden stick and began to draw the pattern on it.
As he was describing this, the system that was following Song Tiantian in the vineyard seemed to have noticed something and looked over: Wait, who caused the mental fluctuations...
Song Tiantian looked up quickly: What?
The system hurriedly said: Tiantian, someone just triggered mental power!
Song Tiantian hurriedly looked around: Where is it?
System: It’s in the direction of the yard!
Song Tiantian quickly turned around and ran back to the grape courtyard...
