305 Catch a Frog for Mom
Shanghe Village in August is much cooler than the city.
Gao Qinghe has been living in the village for two weeks in a row. The longer he stays, the more reluctant he is to leave. He even wishes he could stay here until he dies.
There is no need to turn on the electric fan in the main room, as there is a natural breeze blowing through the hall.
The popular TV series "The Legend of the New White Snake" was playing on TV. It was at the part where White Snake accidentally drank realgar wine, revealing her true form and scaring Xu Xian to death.
Gao Qinghe was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts made of homespun cloth. He sat cross-legged on the sofa with half a watermelon in his hands, eating and watching with great interest.
A good drama has a unique charm. No matter which part is playing on TV, if you stop and watch it for two seconds, you can immediately get into it.
It was a nationwide hit when it first aired last year, and this year's reruns are even showing signs of surpassing the popularity of last year's premiere.
How popular is the drama "Legend of the New White Snake" now?
Any dog walking on the street would stop and take a look when it heard the "Ahaha" background music.
Gao Qinghe has watched it countless times in his two lifetimes, and he still doesn't feel tired of it.
Just as I was engrossed in watching, Old Mrs. Tian came back from the convenience store wearing a straw hat.
As soon as he entered the door, he raised the soy sauce in his hand and said with a smile on his face:
"Oh my god, the prices are finally under control. The soy sauce price at the convenience store is finally not going up this month."
In June 1993, the people across the country finally completed the major breakthrough in price control.
The year before, Mrs. Tian and Qi Lianxin watched the prices change every day and wished they could stock up enough oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home to last them ten years.
It was only after Jiang Baohai and Gao Qinghe, two reborn people, repeatedly persuaded their families to stop worrying about stockpiling goods.
Now, after a year of market adaptation and the country's macroeconomic regulation, the market, which has been feeling its way forward since the late 1980s, is finally back on track.
Looking at his grandmother's happy smile, Gao Qinghe was dazed and thought that two years had passed in the blink of an eye.
"Your sister-in-law didn't come back this summer vacation?" asked Old Mrs. Tian.
Gao Qinghe scooped a spoonful of watermelon and took a mouthful of the juice, so refreshing!
He replied, "Well, he hasn't come back yet. He said he was going to Shanghai to complete a social research project assigned by the club with his classmates. The remaining vacation time is too short, and it would be too troublesome to go back and forth, so he simply didn't come back."
Mrs. Tian asked with concern: "Can we still stay here during the school holidays?"
Gao Qinghe said uncertainly, "It should be possible, but I already gave her the key to an apartment in Shanghai. She can live wherever she wants."
"That's good." Old Mrs. Tian was relieved.
However, when he remembered that he didn't know where his granddaughter's college admission letter was, he became worried again.
He walked over to Gao Qinghe, who was watching TV and eating melons in an overly leisurely manner, patted her arm and asked nervously:
"Why hasn't your younger sister's admission letter been sent yet? Did she fail to get into the provincial university?"
"Don't worry, grandma. Didn't my uncle already go to the school admissions office to confirm it in person? Maybe the email was sent a little slowly." Gao Qinghe said with a smile.
Old Mrs. Tian was worried and said to herself, "I don't know where that naughty girl Yaya has gone with Qiyue. She is so careless..."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
Gao Qingya's hahaha laughter came from the yard.
"Sister, run!"
This made people confused.
Gao Qinghe and Old Lady Tian looked at each other. What were they doing?
Gao Qinghe put down the unfinished watermelon, stood up, put on his slippers, and walked out with a clatter.
When I looked up, I saw a three-year-old kid with an apple-shaped head, covered in mud and barefoot, holding a black thing in his arms, walking up the slope to the gate of the yard with "Hey yo hey yo".
His big eyes, like black grapes, lit up when he saw Gao Qinghe standing at the door.
"Mother!"
There was a subtle excitement mixed in with the childish voice that still had a milky flavor.
Gao Qinghe frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
The next second——
The little clay man rushed over excitedly.
As the distance got closer, Gao Qinghe finally saw clearly what the black thing in the little man's arms was.
With a "puff", a big black toad jumped out from a dark mass.
The little clay baby cried out "Aiya!" and quickly let go of the nest of big frogs in his arms. He squatted down and used his hands and feet to catch the one that had escaped. He happily held it in front of his mother and shouted:
"Mom, quack!"
Gao Qinghe felt her whole body go numb, and she could no longer control herself and screamed and backed away.
Jiang Qiyue was startled by the sudden scream. His little body trembled, and he frowned a little aggrievedly, looking at the quack in his hand with innocent eyes.
Finally I realized that maybe, just maybe, I scared my mother.
He opened his little paws and dropped the struggling Guagua to the ground with a huff.
"Jiang! Qi! Yue!"
After the panic, Gao Qinghe gritted his teeth and pointed at the innocent-looking little clay figurine in the yard, feeling extremely angry.
Turning around, I found Gao Qingya covering her mouth with her hands and laughing so hard that tears were about to flow down her cheeks. She roared:
"Gao Qingya, if you don't throw these disgusting things out quickly, I'll throw both of you out!"
Gao Qingya stopped laughing, and immediately found a bucket, caught the jumping frogs in it, picked up Jiang Qiyue and rushed into the bathroom.
"Third sister, Yueyue's shoes!"
Huahua rushed in carrying a pair of children's crystal sandals. She felt that the atmosphere in the yard was not right. She looked up and saw her second sister with a cold face, as if she wanted to eat someone.
Huahua felt something was wrong, so she quickly put down Jiang Qiyue's shoes and said to Mrs. Tian in a hurry:
"Grandma, second sister, my dad caught a lot of fish. Come to my house for dinner tonight!"
He turned around and ran away, faster than a rabbit.
Half an hour later.
After being washed by his aunt, Jiang Qiyue, wearing a red bellyband and red lantern shorts, crawled to sit next to his mother as if nothing had happened.
"Mom, fish, uncle caught so many!"
Afraid that his mother wouldn't understand, the little guy spread his hands as wide as possible to indicate that there were so many fish.
I didn’t get a response, and I looked at my mother nervously. Damn, my mother was really angry!
I quickly turned around and hugged my mother's arm, looked up at her and said:
"Mom, please don't be angry, okay?"
After washing clean, Jiang Qiyue had an apple-shaped head, a round face, round eyes, a straight nose, and a round mouth, which looked especially like the porcelain doll painted on the nesting doll.
Seeing such a little face smiling at him in a flattering way, Gao Qinghe couldn't get angry at all.
I held the little guy close to me and taught him a serious lesson: "Don't catch frogs next time, do you hear me?"
"Mom is afraid?" Jiang Qiyue asked with his head tilted, puzzled.
Gao Qinghe: “…”
"Ahem, Mommy isn't afraid of toads. Mommy is worried about parasites on toads. What will happen if the parasites get into your little belly?"
Jiang Qiyue immediately covered his stomach, bent over with a painful expression and said, "It hurts."
"So, don't catch frogs anymore, or your stomach will hurt, okay?"
The little girl nodded, not quite understanding, "I won't catch frogs anymore, Mommy, don't be angry."
"Okay, okay, Mommy isn't angry anymore." What else could Gao Qinghe do? Of course she would forgive her.
I pinched the chubby little hand and asked, "Are you thirsty after playing all day?"
He scooped a spoonful of watermelon and handed it to his daughter's mouth.
The little girl had been crazy all day and was already thirsty because of the scorching sun outside.
He opened his mouth wide and gobbled the watermelon his mother fed him in one gulp. His eyes narrowed in delight, and he said, "I want more!"
Gao Qingya walked in carrying Jiang Qiyue's clean shoes and pointed to the door.
"Sister, Xiaocao's mom next door is looking for you."
What does Ouyang Yan want to see her for?
Gao Qinghe put Jiang Qiyue down, and she immediately grabbed a spoon and dug the watermelon herself. She was not good at using the spoon, and she wanted to eat it faster, so she buried her head in the watermelon.
This greedy girl.
Gao Qinghe shook his head helplessly, motioned his younger sister to look at his daughter, and walked out the door in confusion.
