I was in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to appreciate it carefully.
Only at this moment did Song Shuqian notice the entire picture of the Yellow River.
In the distance are the rolling Yinshan Mountains, the outline of which looks particularly spectacular under the blue sky and white clouds.
The land along the Yellow River is relatively flat and open. In some places there are large grasslands, and there are also some sandy areas where sand lizards shuttle back and forth. Their flexible bodies blend into the rough sand. Sometimes they stand still, hiding their bodies, and sometimes they crawl quickly, looking for food or suitable habitats.
Occasionally, you can see sand lizards raising their little heads and alertly observing the movements around them. Their cute appearance yet a bit of wildness adds a touch of lively and unique life color to this stretch of sand by the Yellow River.
Song Shuqian watched quietly, wanting to remember it all in her heart and write it down on the drawing paper.
An An Le Le and Si Hu were not interested in this. They were more interested in sand lizards, which were animals they had never seen before.
The three approached cautiously, observing carefully, trying to catch one by surprise, and pounced with all their might, cheering loudly.
"Brother, I caught it."
I carefully moved my hand away, ready to see its true face.
I don't want to open my hand, there's only a tail inside.
Lele was stunned. He held the tail and looked at his brother. "I didn't mean to hurt it. I just wanted to look at it and play with it for a while."
The lone wolf is most afraid of children crying, so he rushes over to comfort them.
"It's okay. This is the nature of sand lizards. When they sense danger, they will choose to cut off their tails to survive, and then they will grow a new tail."
Lele was shocked, "Can a broken tail grow back?"
"Yes, it can grow back."
"That's amazing! If only people had this ability, broken arms and legs could grow back on their own."
The three children were more enthusiastic about sand lizards than ever before. If they were just curious and wanted to take a look before, now they wanted to study them seriously.
Song Shuxi was also called over by them.
The three children pulled their mother aside to share their discoveries.
Song Shuqian also knew about this for the first time. She suggested, "Why don't we catch two and raise them? What do these creatures eat?"
"Eat bugs," Lele answered quickly. He really wants to raise one.
Wei Jianguo is a man without principles. Just because his wife and children wanted him, he helped them catch him.
He made a suggestion, "If you want to raise it, you have to simulate its living environment, otherwise it will not live long."
The three children started digging sand and plants again, taking them back and making a new home for them.
The four lone wolves looked at it and swallowed their saliva. It was the first time they saw someone doting on a child like this.
Recalling their childhood, if they wanted to spend so much effort to raise something that didn’t eat or drink, they would definitely get a reply like, “I think you’re dreaming. It’s already very hard for me to raise you. If you have the time, go clean the house.”
Day by day, I really owe you. "
The three children have already caught three sand lizards.
Worried to death, Song Shuxi secretly fed the creature a little bit of diluted spiritual liquid. She dared to raise the creature, so she must have something to rely on.
After getting up early in the morning and running around, I felt very hungry.
The group found a state-owned restaurant nearby in a small county town.
It is a very small county town with only one main street in the entire county. There was only a small state-owned restaurant and a very small supply and marketing cooperative.
There is no complicated food, just porridge and buns.
Fortunately, they don’t mind.
Song Shuqian was thinking about the Yellow River fish she had yesterday, so she went to ask the waitress.
"Sister, we are here on a business trip from Cuiyuan City. We ate the big carp from the Yellow River yesterday and liked it very much. So we thought of getting two more and bringing them back for our family to try.
Can I ask you where I can get one near here? "
The older sister had seen them early on, and from their clothes and the car they drove, she knew that these people were not short of money.
He stood up and walked to the kitchen, "I'll go ask for you."
Song Shuqian thanked her with a smile and stuffed a handful of candy into her pocket.
She is now very good at giving candy to others. It’s the cheapest kind of fruit hard candy, good for men, women, young and old.
She returned to her seat and waited.
An An asked, "Mom, why are you asking this aunt?"
Song Shuqian patiently explained to him, "The smaller the place, the more favoritism there is. Jobs in state-owned restaurants are more sought-after than you can imagine in such a small place. She was able to secure this job because she either had her own tricks or her family was a local boss.
This small place is complicated and it would be difficult and time-consuming for us to get information, so it would be better to go to her directly.
Also, think about where this place is? State-owned hotel.
Fishermen definitely don't catch so many fish for themselves to eat. Who can I sell it to at this time? "
Lele said without thinking, "State-owned restaurant."
"Yes, so the chef has connections. We can just buy some for ourselves, and it's a one-time deal, so it won't bother the chef. He can also do a good job for us and the fishermen at the same time.
Just wait, he will tell us soon. "
I had just finished speaking when the waitress came over.
"Girl, I just asked, and a fisherman just came back these two days. This is his address, and all the fish were fished out of the Yellow River."
"Thank you, big sister. You really helped me a lot. If I don't bring some local specialties back to the people around me after going out, my mother-in-law will complain again."
Song Shuqian said helplessly.
The eldest sister immediately felt the same way.
"Girl, don't worry, go find this guy and tell him that Sister Fang introduced him to you. He still has some in stock, so you can exchange more."
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you, sister. You can't be polite to me for this little bit of candy, go back and sweeten your mouth."
This time, Song Shuqian gave White Rabbit milk candy.
During the conversation, Song Shuxi agreed to help mail the Yellow River fish in the future, and if she wanted to eat it again, she would ask her elder sister to mail it to her.
Lele whispered to An An, "Brother, have you noticed that candy is like a common currency in our mother's hands."
An An glanced at his brother unhappily and said, forget it, he wants to do research in the future, it’s better to be pure and don’t need to study anymore.
I quietly observed my mother's facial expressions, trying to figure out how to smile in a way that would make people feel warm and relaxed and let down their guard.
The four Kuaishou guys were already numb, as they still didn’t understand their sister-in-law before.
After dinner, the group walked towards the ferry.
It is called a ferry, but in fact it is just a small pier, and it looks a bit run-down due to years of disrepair.
But unexpectedly lively.
Some wooden ferries help residents on both sides of the river transport goods. The Yellow River is calm and looks prosperous.
There was a constant stream of people carrying loads and driving horse-drawn carriages.
Song Shuqian and her group also joined in the fun, took a look, and bought some small items.
I changed a few fishes with the person introduced by the waitress.
People were very cautious at that time. They would not exchange this kind of fish casually unless it was introduced by an acquaintance, as it would be easy to be accused of speculation.
