When he arrived at the yard, he walked to the well, poured the lobsters in the basket into the bucket prepared in advance, squatted down and started to brush them.
After just brushing a few, Liu Dongmei suddenly felt that something was wrong. She stopped talking to Wu Xia, looked down, and gasped.
Hiss~
Who caught this thing?
"What's wrong?" Hearing her gasp, He's mother and others who had just entered the room, including Wu Xia who was washing with her, looked at her at the same time.
Liu Dongmei was so stiff that she had completely lost the ability to speak. She pointed at the wooden barrel with trembling hands, her lips trembling but she couldn't utter a word.
What a bad luck! Who put this thing into the basket?
Seeing this, they became even more curious. Not only them, but even He Wanqing who was walking with a basket was curious.
She really wanted to know what had frightened her sister-in-law so much that she couldn't even open her mouth to speak.
He Dong, who was standing beside the few people, seemed to be thinking about something, with a frown on his face. He looked at his grandmother and them, at his third aunt who was sitting paralyzed on the ground with fear, and at his aunt, and was so busy that he was unable to take care of everything.
The expressions of He's mother and the others who were watching from the barrel changed several times. They raised their hands and put them down again because they were itching. Finally, they couldn't control themselves and looked directly at He Wanqing.
He Wanqing fell behind a few people and looked at several pairs of questioning eyes. Her heart skipped a beat and an idea came to her mind.
No way~
Is it so fierce?
I looked down at the four people around me, and saw that three of them had confused expressions and one seemed to be thinking about something. I immediately understood.
He pushed aside He's mother who was blocking his way and took a step forward, just in time to see the water snake inside that was trying hard to escape.
Her pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked at her four nephews behind her again. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: It's over, this snake can't be poisonous, right? ? ? ?
His eyes fell on the escaping snake again, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the colorful appearance on it.
Fortunately, it was a rat snake. He thought to himself, and kept saying, "Xiao Yuan, who caught this thing?"
Damn it, why bother adding a side job when I can just focus on catching lobsters?
Now it’s all right, wait for you to be scolded together!
While thinking about this, he looked up at the serious-looking elders, then quickly lowered his head and waited for their lecture.
The villain in her heart was thinking that she would never go lobster fishing with these scumbag nephews again, otherwise she would be cheated every time.
Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at the other baskets and backpacks, wondering uncertainly, maybe there were surprises in there too!
As if she knew what she was thinking, Aunt He poured out all of them one by one.
When the last fish was emptied into the backpack, everyone in the yard breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Fortunately, there was only one fish.
No, not even one. This is not poisonous. If it were poisonous, we would all be dead by now.
Thinking of this, Aunt He shouted to the people in the house, "Master, come out, and mother, come out and take a look too.
Let's see what Xiao Yuan and the others brought back for us today as a snack. 'The last two words were emphasized.
If there wasn't a pile of work waiting to be done on the ground, He Wanqing dared to guarantee that the four sisters-in-law would definitely scold them for three days and three nights.
No, a few cousins have to be included.
When she thought of that scene, her eyes went dark and she regretted again bringing four people there to catch crayfish.
"Here you are, what's wrong? Why are you still angry?"
Uncle He came out with a smile on his face, looked at his grandsons who were covered in mud, and was about to ask them to go home and wash up, but was stopped.
"Don't laugh yet, come and see what's in the bucket. Then we'll talk." Her tone was a bit unpleasant, and after she finished speaking, she made way for Grandpa He and the others to look together.
Grandma He, who was about to ask Shen An to go home and wash up, heard this and looked at Grandpa He, and they both raised their feet and walked towards the bucket.
Before I reached the location, I saw a rat snake with its head raised, trying to find a place to sneak away.
Seeing this, what else did the few people not understand? No wonder they were frightened and angry. They would be the same if they were in their place.
"Okay, you guys clean up first. As for the snake, since we've caught it, let's make snake soup!
Xiao An, you and Xiao Ming should go back and call your great-grandma, your great-grandpa, and your aunt and uncle to come and eat together.
Xiao Yuan, take your brother back to wash up first. We can talk later.
Wanqing, you are an adult and you have a family, so you can handle it yourself!
Old man, take the eldest brother and the others to dig out the snake. By the way, keep the snake gall and skin. ”
After giving her instructions, Grandma He walked into the kitchen, took out a fire stool, and helped wash the lobsters.
The few people who received the instructions did not object, but nodded and went to do their own work.
Only He Wanqing is now in a dilemma, neither leaving nor staying.
She felt a chill in her heart as she watched the snake being taken away by Grandpa He by its tail.
Although she would catch snakes and eat them when she was extremely hungry when she went up the mountain in her previous life, she still didn't like the taste.
Suddenly, she didn't know whether she was overthinking or her stomach was acidic due to hunger, and she almost vomited.
"Okay, stop standing there. The garlic you asked me to peel for lunch has already been peeled. Go to the kitchen and see how to cook it!
As for the snake soup, don't worry, you don't have to make it. I'll go to your uncle's kitchen to make it later.
By the way, are we going to cook eels and loaches tonight? "Looking at the half bucket of eels and loaches, Grandma He thought it didn't matter whether she cooked it or not, as there was enough food for tonight anyway.
"Grandma, you guys take care of it. I'm going to the kitchen." He Wanqing, who didn't want to be killed by her mother's glare again, hurried to the kitchen.
Looking at the prepared side dishes, cucumbers, potatoes, and peppers by the stove, she thought for a moment, and transferred a few potatoes and cucumbers out from the space in case there wasn't enough to eat later. Finally, she looked at a small pot of garlic and started to smash the garlic.
Compared with the scene of He Wanqing's family working with laughter and joy, the house of He Daniu next door is not beautiful.
After smelling the fragrance from his house, which was better than yesterday, and seeing that his great-grandson who went out to catch shrimps had not returned yet, he finally couldn't sit still anymore, and the whole family went out to look for him, cursing.
When he walked to the door, he heard his family talking, and saw people from the Shen family were there too, but no one called him. He Daniu's face turned crooked with anger.
Thinking that his family hadn't prepared dinner yet and his great-grandson who went catching shrimps hadn't come back yet, he went straight to He Wanqing's house in a panic.
Even Wu, He Dazhu and others who had originally planned to go look for the child together turned around after seeing his actions.
As for the children catching shrimps, they will definitely be back soon, and then they can come here and eat the ready-made food.
As for what they caught tonight, they can be saved for eating tomorrow night.
On the way to the door, they sat on the stones in front of each house with their bowls of rice, smelling the fragrance from He Wanqing's house while eating while looking at He Daniu's family.
When they found out that they were not going to look for anyone but were walking towards He Wanqing's house instead, everyone's eyes lit up.
The same thought that they all had at this moment was that there was going to be something good to watch.
