After staying in the threshing ground for a while, Brother Xia pulled him home, saying that he had found something interesting and wanted to take her to experience it.
Xia Jin didn't have much emotional fluctuation. He found that his second brother had been doing whatever he wanted for a long time.
Anyway, he has never been disappointed every time, so he just looks forward to it a little, and he has become accustomed to his sudden ideas.
On the way home, the two men met a few old ladies who were enjoying the cool under a tree. The old man chatted with them for a while before going back.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, Brother Xia called his eldest brother and asked him to find a bamboo pole. Then he ran to the kitchen and got a small spoonful of white flour.
When Second Brother Xia looked at the things he had prepared, he knew what to do. Since they had nothing to do anyway, they might as well go out and have some fun. So he followed his younger brother's advice and went to find a long and good bamboo pole and brought it over.
Xia Jin had never done this kind of thing before, so she didn't understand what they were going to do. It was Brother Xia who took the initiative to tell her about it.
Hearing Brother Xia say that they were going to catch cicadas, she nodded with a vague understanding. Besides, she had been in the village for so many days and hadn't seen anyone catching cicadas.
In fact, it’s not that no one did it, but that he didn’t see it. After all, when he went out for a walk in the village, it was either early morning or evening, and the cicadas were no longer chirping, so who would go to catch them?
This thing is also a good snack for children. After picking it, ask your parents to make it for you. It tastes so good.
Xia Jin thought about the appearance of the cicada and suddenly shook her head, thinking to herself that she would not eat this thing. The only thing Xia Jin did not eat was all kinds of insects, which she could not accept.
It’s not that she thinks they look ugly or scary, but she thinks they are dirty. After all, there is everything in his body, so she can’t accept eating them.
But she is still very interested in sticking to it, just like digging wild vegetables. Sometimes it is not necessary to eat them, but to enjoy the digging process.
So as long as there is something to play with, she will be happy. She doesn't care whether she eats the thing after bringing it back. Anyway, she will be sitting at home doing nothing, so she might as well go out and have some fun.
Although it was still a bit hot outside at this time, this was the fun.
While washing the gluten, Xia Erge said to his sister:
"Xiao Jin, you've never done this before, brother will take you there, and then at night we can pick up the cicada babies that have just crawled out of the ground."
"Tomorrow night we're going to the grove at the entrance to the village to pick them up. It was my favorite thing to do when I was little. After I pick them up, I'll have my mom fry them. They'll smell so good."
"I'll take you there in the evening. You haven't been there in the past few days, right? Besides the children, adults don't have the time to go there."
"Let me tell you, I have a lot of fun things to do. I'll show you around later and make up for your childhood."
Xia Jin nodded happily when she heard what her second brother said. She was quite bored in the village these days. Although she could watch TV sometimes, she had nothing to play with when she got tired of it.
She didn't know anyone in the village, and no one wanted to play with her. Also, because of his identity, some people were cautious with him when he went out, which she didn't like.
So except for going to the fields with Grandpa Xia and visiting her aunt's house, she always stayed in her room.
It’s good that Second Brother Xia is back now. He has a lot of ideas and will definitely take her out to have fun so that she won’t be bored anymore.
Brother Xia was very familiar with doing these things. He quickly washed a piece of gluten and then stuck it on the bamboo pole.
Then he took the tools to catch cicadas, carried a bamboo pole, and set off with the three of them.
As expected of someone who is used to doing this, his eyesight is very good. After walking a few steps, he found a few of them on a sycamore tree.
Before Xia Jin could see where the cicada was, someone had already stuck it down. Xia Jin ran to the other end of the bamboo pole and tried to take the cicada down, but the cicada was stuck and reacted violently.
"Xiao Jin, be careful. Avoid its legs. Pull it down by its wings. Its legs hurt a lot and you can easily get a small wound."
Xia Jin was already very careful, and after hearing what he said, he became even more careful. It took him a long time to get the thing off the top, and then he quickly put it into the wine barrel they were carrying.
Then, Brother Xia gave her a bamboo pole and asked her to try to glue one together, but Xia Jin's eyesight was not good and she couldn't find it after searching for a long time.
Actually, it’s not that it’s bad, but she has never stuck it on before, so she can’t see it. If she is an experienced person, she will know where it is at a glance.
In the end, it was Brother Xia who pointed out a few to her, and then she started to stick them like Brother Xia did. However, she failed to stick to the first one, and she failed to stick to the second one either, so she had to wait until the third one before she finally stuck to it.
They hung out outside for an entire afternoon and caught about 50 cicadas. It's still too early for cicadas now. If they wait until July to come back, there will be more of them.
There were few people outside at this time, and there were other people hanging around in the village, so it was quite difficult to find him, not to mention that Xia Jin's skills were not very good.
Her two brothers also coaxed her, so the harvest was not good. But for a snack, it was also okay. After taking these cicadas home, Aunt Xia washed them and picked off the wings.
Then we fried them in oil and served them as a dish on their table. Everyone ate it happily. This could be said to be the first time they had eaten this thing this year.
Although Xia Jing ran outside for the whole afternoon, she didn't eat. No matter what others said, she just refused to eat, but she couldn't get over it in her heart.
But it was quite interesting to have things sticking to her outside. After digging wild vegetables, she fell in love with another one.
And after this afternoon, she envied Gu Jingmo even more. Although it was their first time doing this job, he had good eyesight and could stick it on right away.
She thought to herself that she would do this again in the future, and she would definitely avenge her previous shame and become the most powerful among them.
