Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile when she saw this.
When they were young, the boys in the village liked to fish, catch shrimps and eels.
I didn't expect that I would still enjoy it even after growing up.
It just so happened that in order to increase production in the early years, the dry rice on Lao Nan Mountain was converted into terraced rice, and these rice fields have become a paradise for catching lobsters and loaches.
Ahua was quite perceptive and knew that Xu Jiaojiao was a famous white, rich and beautiful girl in the village, so since she came to see Zhao Xiaoyang, it naturally had nothing to do with him.
So he nudged Zhao Xiaoyang with his arm and said.
"Brother Xiaoyang, Xiaobao and I are here, you can go and keep Jiaojiao company."
Zhao Xiaoyang looked up and saw white mist coming out of the kettle on the stove, so he raised his hand and pointed at the pavilion on the open space.
"Then you guys catch them, Jiaojiao, let's go make tea!"
Tea sets and tea leaves have been placed on the stone table in the pavilion.
"Brother Xiaoyang, you should go wash in the lake. I'll make some tea!"
Xu Jiaojiao covered her mouth and smiled, pointing at Zhao Xiaoyang's black feet, which were wrapped in mud, like Bigfoot.
"Haha, that's fine!"
Zhao Xiaoyang smiled and walked towards Nanshan Lake.
When passing by Xiaobao, he was about to greet him, but the latter looked nervous.
"Shh, Brother Xiaoyang, don't talk. I think I touched a loach."
Seeing the serious look on his face, Zhao Xiaoyang smiled and walked to the lake to wash his feet.
"Oh my god, there's a snake in there."
Just as I was about to go ashore, I suddenly heard a wolf howling.
Looking back, I saw Xiaobao suddenly dragging out a water snake that was one meter long from the loach hole.
In mid-air, the water snake was coiling around him frantically, but Xiaobao was faster. He jumped onto the shore like a monkey, pinched the water snake's head, and swung it like an electric fan.
With a final snap, the water snake collapsed to the ground, twitching slightly.
"Woof!"
“Woof woof woof!”
Dahuang and Baozi, who had been playing in the bushes, also jumped out hurriedly.
He would sometimes approach the half-dead water snake, sometimes jumping behind it, and would bark continuously.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay! Luckily I reacted quickly."
Xiaobao said that he was fine, but his body trembled honestly.
Then he went over and picked up the snake's tail, and swung it a few times as if to vent his anger, completely breaking the unfortunate snake's bones.
Then he picked up a stone and smashed the snake's head into pieces with a bang.
The two dogs, one big and one small, stopped barking and carefully moved over to sniff.
"Go away, stop making trouble!"
Xiaobao drove it away, and the expression on his face immediately relaxed.
It is not uncommon to find snakes in rice fields, but there are not many of them.
"Oh my god, are you lucky?"
Ah Hua also hurried over, and seeing that Xiao Bao was indeed fine, he started to joke with him.
"Do you want me to take you down the mountain and buy a lottery ticket?"
"Luckily it was a water snake, not a venomous one. The bite is fine."
After Xiaobao had a false alarm, he started to smile and show off.
"Alright, alright, stop scratching. Go to the lake, wash up, and come over for some tea!"
Zhao Xiaoyang was relieved when he saw this. He greeted them while walking towards the pavilion.
The breeze blows by, and the fragrance of tea fills the air.
Xu Jiaojiao was holding a purple clay teacup and sniffing it in amazement: "Brother Xiaoyang, is this the same tea you grow on the mountain behind you?"
"Yes, but this is Sanchun tea, the taste is just average."
Zhao Xiaoyang said modestly, wiped his hands on his body, and picked up a glass.
"Did Grandpa Zhao get vaccinated?"
Xu Jiaojiao thought of the camellia she had just seen and still found it a little unbelievable.
Zhao Xiaoyang didn't answer directly, but smiled and said, "Try it, I made this myself."
“…”
By the rice field, Xiaobao had already skinned the water snake and was about to come over to show Zhao Xiaoyang his harvest with excitement.
But the little head was shocked. Ah Hua said angrily: "You don't have eyes, brother Xiaoyang and Jiaojiao are chatting, why did you go over to join in the fun?"
"Well……"
Xiaobao was slightly stunned, and soon a sly smile appeared on his lips, "Oh oh oh, I see!"
"You don't understand, come on, let's go touch some screws, and then we can go fishing! I told you not to touch anything, but you kept touching it, and you almost scared me to death."
Ahua angrily took the boy to the lake.
The water of Nanshan Lake is clear and nourishes the local soil and water. It was the water source of Nanshan Village before the tap water was available.
Even now, you can just scoop up a handful and drink it to quench your thirst.
Therefore, it is easy to catch small fish, shrimps, snails and the like in the water, and smashing the snail shells can make them natural bait.
In the pavilion, Xu Jiaojiao twirled her teacup, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Brother Xiaoyang, are you really planning to start a business this time?"
"Yeah! Didn't you see the cherries that Ah Hua helped me sell? How are they? A good variety, right?"
"Hmm! I see. So you're planning to introduce some cherry varieties?"
When Xu Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately became interested.
"Let's plant that one first and see how it works. The results are pretty good so far."
After Zhao Xiaoyang said this, Xu Jiaojiao frowned slightly and shook her head secretly.
If Zhao Xiaoyang has this kind of mentality, it may not be easy for him to become famous by growing cherries in Nanshan Village.
However, at this time, the smile on Xu Jiaojiao's face became even wider.
"Well, you can try it. If it doesn't work, then think of another way out."
"Yeah, that's what I thought."
Zhao Xiaoyang said something that was half true and half false.
