Chapter 77: There Are So Many Crayfish
The child was lying on the ground, still in shock. He looked at Xiao Mo, his eyes instantly reddened: "Thank you for saving me!"
He nearly drowned!
After confirming that the child was fine, Dong Yulan and Su Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief!
"Whose children are you? Go home quickly. Don't come to the river alone without adults in the future, okay?" Su Qingshan took the opportunity to educate the children.
This is also the reason why he and his wife were worried about Jinchen and the others coming to the river.
If they fall into the river, they won’t even have time to cry!
What surprised him was that Xiao Mo had such a good character!
If Xiao Mo hadn't been here today, the child might have drowned.
The children were also frightened. They listened to the lecture obediently, helped the boy up and left in shame.
"Boy Mo, you're so wet, go home and change your clothes!" Dong Yulan looked at Xiao Mo's wet clothes, worried that he would catch a cold.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "Grandma Dong is fine. The weather is hot and it will dry up in no time!"
The lobster fishing that he had agreed to do with Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan hasn’t started yet!
"It doesn't matter if it's summer, let them have their fun before going back!" Su Qingshan said to his wife, sweating from the heat and wanting to jump into the water to cool down.
Mo boy will definitely not be happy to go back like this.
Dong Yulan had no choice but to take Qibao by the side and watch them fishing for lobsters.
"I heard from Goudan that we should go to the ditch in front to fish. There are more lobsters there!" Gu Jinan pointed to the ditch not far away.
The mud ditch between the farmland and the riverbed was filled with a lot of water when the river water rose.
Now it is summer, the riverbed has dropped, there is less water in the mud ditch, but there are many lobsters.
Gu Jinchen and his companions quickly moved towards the ditch.
The bamboo rods for fishing lobsters were made for them by Su Qingshan on the spur of the moment.
When I was making the fence before, there were still a lot of thin bamboo poles left in the yard. I just scraped the surface of the bamboo poles clean with a knife and tied them up with a hemp rope and they were ready to use.
The earthworms that Gu Jinchen and his friends used to catch lobsters were also dug from the vegetable fields. They were much thicker than the earthworms that Su Qingshan used to fish.
Tie the earthworms with a rope and throw them into the ditch...
"After tying the bait, throw it into the water, then pull the rope little by little to let the earthworm hang in the middle of the water so that the lobster can find the target." Gu Jinan generously shared the lobster fishing techniques he learned from Goudan.
Tie the earthworm to a hemp rope, throw it into the water, and pull the rope up little by little.
Gu Jinchen and Xiao Mo strictly followed the tips shared by Gu Jinan.
As a result, as soon as I lifted the rope, I felt it tremble and it became noticeably heavier. Then the trembling of the rope became more and more frequent...
When Xiao Mo and Gu Jinchen lifted the hemp rope out of the water, they saw a lot of lobsters hanging densely on the rope.
Those lobsters were quite large, covered in hard reddish-brown armor, with their two large claws raised high, looking majestic...
Gu Qiqi widened her eyes. There were seven or eight of them on one hemp rope, and even more on Xiao Mo's hemp rope, more than ten.
There are so many crayfish in this ditch!
Thinking of the crayfish I ate in my previous life, steamed, braised, or stewed...
Gu Qiqi stared at the crayfish, feeling a little greedy.
She is just one year old now, and she can only eat steamed food to satisfy her cravings...
"Qibao, do you want to play? Brother will teach you!" Xiao Mo threw all the crayfish on the hemp rope into the basket, looked at Qibao and asked.
"Haha, Mo boy, you play by yourself. These things look scary. Qibao is a girl, so maybe they will scare her!" Dong Yulan said.
Jinchen and Jinan were so engrossed in fishing that they forgot about everything else. It was rare that Mo remembered to bring Qibao along to play together.
"Brother Xiao, let's see who catches more fish!" suggested Gu Jinan on the side.
Wow, there are so many crayfish!
More fun than fishing!
Seeing that Gu Qiqi really had no intention of playing, Xiao Mo stopped forcing him and joined in with Gu Jinchen and Gu Jinan.
There are too many crayfish on this side of the ditch.
The three of them were busy and having fun.
Soon the backpack was filled with a lot of things.
Gu Qiqi and Dong Yulan watched here for a while and then moved to Su Qingshan's side.
Su Qingshan had already caught a lot of crucian carp in his bucket.
There are half a pound, about a pound...
Su Qingshan was just worrying about how to take back the fish he had caught, and when he saw Qibao coming over, his eyes lit up.
"Dear girl, come and see the fish grandpa caught!" Su Qingshan smiled and waved to Qibao.
Dong Yulan took Qibao and walked up quickly.
I looked into the bucket and wow, there were quite a lot!
"That's almost enough. If there are more, the broken tank in our yard won't be able to hold them all!" Dong Yulan reminded as she looked at the densely packed crucian carp in the bucket.
Stop while you’re ahead. You can come back to fish next time if you want to eat more fish!
Su Qingshan was depressed...
“I’m not addicted yet!”
Dong Yulan didn't say anything either, just glanced at him.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll catch three more and I promise to put the rod away!" Su Qingshan promised.
Three fish were quickly caught.
Su Qingshan looked reluctant, but he had to put away his fishing rod.
"Go check on the fish basket."
Remembering that there was a fish basket in the water, Su Qingshan became happy again.
The five fish baskets were filled with small fish and shrimps as soon as they were lifted out of the water, just like last time.
Dong Yulan was also very happy to see the small fish and shrimps.
Compared with big fish, she prefers these small fish and shrimps, which taste better.
"Guan Nan and I will go back and sort out these small fry first, you go and keep an eye on those guys!"
The five fish baskets, including the fish and shrimp inside them, were "hidden" by Gu Qiqi.
There were also crucian carps in the bucket, with only two palm-sized ones left in the bucket, and the rest were placed in the secret space by Gu Qiqi.
"Okay, then you take Guaidan home first, and I will bring Jinchen and the others back later!" Su Qingshan nodded.
With someone falling into the river ahead, Su Qingshan naturally didn't dare to leave Jin'an and the other boys alone.
When Dong Yulan was carrying a bamboo pole and a bucket of water back to the compound, the gatekeeper came over to watch.
"How about it? Today's harvest is good!"
Dong Yulan nodded with a smile: "It's okay, add some chili and other side dishes to make it a bowl!"
The gatekeeper looked at the two palm-sized crucian carps in the bucket: "..."
It really takes a lot of things to put together!
After returning home, Dong Yulan put down the bucket and fishing rod and immediately closed the gate.
Gu Qiqi released the crucian carp caught by her grandfather from the space.
Crucian carps were crowded together in the broken tank.
Then five more fish baskets were released.
The small river shrimps and fish in the fish basket were jumping around as lively as they were when they first came out of the water.
Dong Yulan poured the fish and shrimp out of the fish basket.
Gu Qiqi sat on a small stool, helping her grandmother pick the small river shrimps and put them into the vegetable basket beside her.
"It's very hot outside. Come and have a piece of watermelon to cool down, dear girl!" Dong Yulan cut a small piece of watermelon from the main room and handed it to Qibao.
Oh, watermelon, her favorite!
Qibao took the watermelon and took a bite. It was sweet, thirst-quenching and delicious!
