When Xiao Jing ran back with her four younger brothers, the three adults, including Xiao Yunfei, were grilling and eating around the oven.
Hearing the children's hurried footsteps, Su Miaomiao turned her head to remind them.
"How can this kid run so fast? Slow down and don't fall!"
The five children had bright smiles on their faces. Xiao Jing stood in front of Su Miaomiao and spoke.
"Dad, Mom, we want to go play with Hu Fei and Er Dan for a while, is that okay?"
At this time, the four younger brothers also caught up and looked at Su Miaomiao with anticipation.
The reason they stared at their mother was because they found that their mother's words were very influential in this family. Whatever their mother said, their father and uncle would definitely agree.
Su Miaomiao thinks it is a good thing for children to make friends.
She smiled gently and agreed.
"Okay, go ahead."
That’s great, mom agreed!
Xiao Jing and the others couldn't help but cheer out loud with joy.
However, the next second, they heard their mother say seriously.
"But you have to promise me that you won't go to dangerous places, like the river or the mountains. If you want to play, play in the village. Don't go too far away so that I can't find you, okay?"
Mother cares about them and doesn't let them go because she's afraid those places might be dangerous.
Xiao Jing and the others felt warm in their hearts after hearing this.
Xiao Jing understood Su Miaomiao's worries, and she nodded obediently in agreement.
"Mom, I agree to everything you say. Don't worry, I promise to keep an eye on my brothers and not let them go to dangerous places to play. I will bring my brothers back safely."
After Xiao Jing made the promise, she couldn't wait to ask.
"Mom, can we go now?"
Su Miaomiao looked at the children's anxious expressions and knew that they had already lost hope in their hearts.
But she still couldn't help asking.
"Are you full? If not, ask your father to bake some more for you to take with you."
You have to wait a long time for dad to make barbecued skewers.
Xiao Jing shook his head.
"Mom, I'm full."
Seeing this, the four younger brothers quickly said they were full.
The children had eaten a lot before, so they should have been at least 80% full.
Since they all said they were full, Su Miaomiao didn't stop them and let the children go.
Before the children left, she gave them instructions behind their backs.
"You five should take care of each other. Go home when you're hungry, and you must come back when it's time for dinner!"
The children agreed while running around, each one as happy as a little pony.
Seeing the children so happy, Su Miaomiao couldn't help but smile.
The children are not at home, and Su Miaomiao and the other three adults have a rare moment of peace and quiet.
The three of them ate and chatted, grilling whatever they wanted to eat, feeling comfortable and relaxed.
Zhang Xing and Xiao Yunfei were addicted to eating barbecue skewers and insisted on having another meal in the evening, so after the meal they only put away the bowls, chopsticks and ingredients, and left the stove and charcoal in place to avoid having to move them around in the evening.
After dinner, they had nothing to do, so the three of them discussed and decided to go to the river to catch some fresh river food as a supplement for dinner.
Catching river fish is just fun for them.
After a while, the three of them happily packed their equipment and drove off.
Ever since Xiao Yunfei discovered that the crab cage was useful, he would take a stroll by the river every morning, take home the river fish caught in the cage, and put bait in the cage to continue fishing.
As soon as they stopped the car, they saw people by the river in the distance.
There were quite a few people, about thirty or forty.
This was completely different from the scene they had seen before.
A hint of surprise flashed in Su Miaomiao's eyes, and she asked in confusion.
"Why are there so many people by the river today? Could it be that Cui Fangzheng organized a fishing trip today and forgot to notify us?"
Xiao Yunfei unbuckled his seat belt and looked towards the river, making a calm judgment.
"That shouldn't be the case. Look at those people, most of them are elderly and children. If it was organized by Cui Fangzheng, there would be young and strong middle-aged people who would definitely participate."
That makes sense.
Su Miaomiao nodded, pushed open the car door and said.
"Get off the car, let's go over and ask what's going on."
There were too many people by the river for Su Miaomiao, and it was not convenient for her to take things out of the space in front of everyone, so she just got out of the car and opened the trunk, pretending to take things out of the trunk.
Soon, the three of them were heading towards the river with their equipment.
They passed by the place where they had caught cicadas before and saw more than a dozen people catching cicadas in the river.
Before Su Miaomiao and the others could speak, an old lady who was catching cicadas in the river started talking to them first.
"Yun Fei? Your family is here too. Are they here to catch crickets?"
Xiao Yunfei was a little surprised by the other party's intimate tone.
And how did this old lady know that they were here to catch cicadas?
Xiao Yunfei and Su Miaomiao looked at each other and were about to speak when the old man next to the old lady spoke.
"If it weren't for your family, none of us would have known there were so many delicious things to eat in the river. Ever since word spread that the crayfish and crabs in the river are edible, people have been coming to the river every day. It's too tiring for us old guys to go up the mountain, so it's nice to come to the river to get some food to improve our diet. My family had a delicious meal yesterday."
The old man's tone was full of gratitude, and he held the wooden barrel to show Su Miaomiao and the others.
"Look, Mr. and Mrs. Yunfei, I've already grabbed almost a bucket. Give me your bucket and I'll pour some out for you."
I didn’t expect the old man to be so generous. He gave them the crickets he caught even though they were not familiar with each other before.
Neither Xiao Yunfei nor Su Miaomiao are the kind of people who like to take advantage of others.
What's more, it is not easy for the elderly to catch crickets, so how could they have the nerve to ask for them?
