Chapter 102 Didn't Forget Her Wife

The second brother's eyes flickered and he smiled, "Xinbaoer saw a seal script plaque from somewhere. I couldn't recognize most of them, so I bought a book to read. The only seal script book in the bookstore is the Thousand Character Classic."

Yan Shenjue said, "I have three hundred thousand seal characters at home. You can bring them to her someday so that you can teach her."

"No need, no need," the second brother said with a smile, which was just an excuse, "I'm just teasing her, so she doesn't need too much."

Yan Shenjue was not good at making excuses, so he said, "Then just return it to me after you've read it."

After a few words, the second brother almost knew his temper, so he didn't say anything more and agreed with a smile.

Over there, Big Brother Tang and Third Brother Tang found a big wooden basin to wash the loaches. Yuan Yaochu followed happily. The three of them washed the loaches twice in the river water. The loaches were slippery and jumped out from time to time. Yuan Yaochu and Third Brother Tang jumped back and forth, shouting and yelling.

Brother Tang looked at him and smiled.

He actually just wanted to try and see if there was any difference, and how big the difference would be, between going with Xinbao and without it.

But it’s hard to have fun with not enough people to bombard the grasshoppers. If you invite people from the village, there will be a large group and there will be a lot of things to do. It’s better to call them.

The three of them washed the snake twice in the river water, then found some clean spring water to soak it in, added some salt and wine, and asked it to spit out the mud, while they cleaned up and ate.

Many of the Tang family's things are old and pieced together, but they are all very clean. The fourth brother cooks at home. At noon, only a few brothers eat together, but the little boy eats his father out of money, because the amount of food is really not small.

The dishes only included beans and eggplant, and two dishes of spinach and tofu, one braised in sauce and the other stewed in clear sauce, in two large pots. The taste was not that great, but not bad either.

Xinbao and the twins were hungry, so they just ate their food without even raising their heads. The two idiots over there hit it off right away and wanted to become sworn brothers right there and then.

After dinner, Xinbao rinsed her mouth by herself, and then climbed onto her eldest brother’s lap. The eldest brother skillfully hugged his sister and patted her gently, and she fell asleep in less than half a minute.

The eldest brother stood up, kissed her forehead, and gently put her on the bed, saying to them, "Let's go."

Yuan Yaochu asked Yan Shenjue in a whisper: "Xiao Jue, are you going?"

Yan Shen Jue hesitated, and the second brother said, "If Shen Jue doesn't want to go, then don't go. I won't go, and it's a good opportunity for me to ask you for some advice."

Yan Shenjue said: "I dare not."

He just sat down.

Yuan Yaochu came out and ran to call his brother. Brother Tang also prepared everything and called the twins along, and the group went up the mountain.

When Xinbao woke up, they all came back and caught a lot, half a jar of gray and green.

Xinbao washed his face and picked some vegetable leaves to feed the grasshoppers.

Brother Tang smiled and said, "Xinbao, do you want to go play?"

Xinbao nodded: "I want to go."

So a few people went up again.

Xinbao had never seen country people swatting grasshoppers.

First, find a relatively flat large grassland, put some fresh vegetable leaves on one side, block it with a net or bamboo basket, then pull two long branches with leaves, and two or three people will start to drive them from one end.

To hold grasshoppers, you can find a jar and a piece of rag. Tie the mouth of the jar with a rope, leaving a hole. Once the grasshopper is stuffed in, the cloth will droop and it will not jump out.

When the long branches were waved, many big and small grasshoppers of various colors could be clearly seen flying up among the long grass and jumping towards this side. There were only a few of them at first, but the more they were waved, the more they came, just like a swarm of locusts, fluttering in a swarm.

Yuan Yaochu shouted, "Hey! There are too many here!!"

The third brother called her from a distance: "Xinbao, come here! Don't let me jump on you!"

Xinbao hurried over with her short legs, and her third brother carried her on his shoulder, still waving the long branch, and slowly rushed over here.

Sitting high, it looked even more magnificent. Xinbao's eyes were wide open, and he kept saying "Wow!!" "Wow!!"

Before they even got to the end, everyone started catching them.

Xinbao also got down from his brother's shoulder and started grabbing.

But although there were many grasshoppers, they jumped very fast. Xinbao jumped left and right, but he was so tired that he sweated but didn't catch a single one.

Then she suddenly saw a huge one.

Xinbao walked over slowly and lightly, put his hands together... and pounced suddenly.

The hair under his hand was scratching, and Xinbao said anxiously: "De de! De de!"

Yuan Yaochu was close by and came over quickly: "What's wrong?"

"I caught one!" Xinbao's face flushed with excitement: "It's so big, hurry up and help, don't let it run away!!"

"Okay!" Yuan Yaochu immediately raised his hand: "Come on, let it go slowly, I will definitely not let it run away!"

Then Xinbao opened her hands slowly, slowly, revealing a big grasshopper underneath. It was really big, as long as Xinbao's small hands. It was almost dying from being pressed by her. Yuan Yaochu suppressed her laughter, pretended to pinch the grasshopper hard, and pinched it, saying, "This is a grasshopper grandpa!"

While asking her, "Xinbao, do you want to play with it or put it in?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Put it in," Xinbao said with great momentum, "Xinbao will catch a bigger one!!"

Yuan Yaochu couldn't stop laughing, so he put Grandpa Grasshopper in.

Xinbao continued to catch them with great energy. The bigger the grasshopper, the harder it was to jump, so it was easy to catch. Also, maybe it was because the vegetables at home were better, but the grasshoppers quite liked to eat them. There was a dense layer of grasshoppers on the side where the vegetable leaves were scattered.

A few people simply captured the surrounding areas first, and then slowly moved in.

In total, they brought two jars, which were as big as watermelons. They only caught half a jar in the morning, which was considered a good harvest. In the afternoon, both jars could not hold any more. There was no choice but Brother Tang San took off his jacket and tied his sleeves to make two pockets, and then he caught two more pockets.

When they finally caught the big ones, they didn’t care about the small ones anymore and only caught the big ones.

At home, two handsome young men with bookish airs were chatting elegantly and gracefully, when this group of people rushed into the yard like bandits coming down the mountain. The twins had become a straw man, with grass all over their heads. Xinbao was in a similar situation, with both of his knees stained blue with grass juice.

She ran in holding two huge grasshoppers and shouted from a distance: "Dede! Wife! This is for you!!"

She handed the huge grasshopper to the two men, her eyes shining brightly, with an expression that looked like she was waiting for praise.

Second brother: “…”

Yan Shenjue: “…”

There was a moment of struggle on both of their faces.

Then, both of them raised their hands and took the green grasshopper, which was as long as a child's palm, huge and hideous, and still had a piece of vegetable leaf in its mouth.

Yan Shenjue thanked him calmly: "Thank you Xinbao."

After all, the second brother had been in the countryside for three years and had a stronger tolerance than him. He praised sincerely: "Xinbao is so amazing. He can actually catch such a big grasshopper!"

Milk ball with a proud look on his face: "I caught a lot!"

"Great, great!" The second brother said, "Okay, Xinbao, go wash your hands quickly."

Xinbao let out an "oh" and ran away. The second brother quickly got up, found a piece of thread, tied the grasshopper's two big hind legs, and handed the thread to Yan Shenjue, just like herding sheep.

Yan Shenjue looked up silently and glanced at him.

The second brother burst into laughter. While laughing, he tied up his own leg as well: "How rare that you haven't forgotten about you."

He changed his words: "I haven't forgotten his wife yet."

Yan Shenjue said, "Second Brother Tang, don't joke around." At the same time, he had no choice but to hold the thread of the big grasshopper.
