The second son also felt regretful. They grew up in the same courtyard and felt very uncomfortable.
"How can Uncle Zeng and the others bear it?" The third brother's eyes were a little wet.
"There are still two children and a lot of famine. Aunt Da Laba and Uncle Zeng have started working, and the living have to survive." The second son got married and had children, and he was much more mature.
"Then I'll go first. Bai Liang is here. Please take care of him, second brother. If he can't stay here, send him away," the third brother instructed.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the family. Bring some mushrooms and eggs and share them with your family and Uncle Zeng's family."
Chunni hurried to the fish pond and picked some mushrooms, vegetables, and eggs, filling a basket.
Li Mantun asked the village for a tractor to take the third child to the city.
Bai Liang and Xingping Xingsong were arm in arm, and they were planning to catch eels at night. Xingping Xingsong finally had a chance to go out and play in broad daylight.
Liu Cuiying was happily looking for something to do and was willing to use a flashlight.
Li Mancang and Lao Er helped dig a lot of big and fat earthworms. Chunni simply cleaned up some of the intestines of the flying dragons and geese killed today and used them as bait.
In order to ensure the success of Master Bai’s first pastoral activity, the whole family was mobilized.
At around seven o'clock, when it was just getting dark, the three men set off.
The eels here are all in the rice fields. The brothers Xingsong and Xingping are experienced, so they take off their shoes, roll up their trouser legs, and jump into the mud to look for the eels' caves.
Bai Liang looked at the mud and didn't want to get in because he thought it was dirty, so he just stood by and watched the two brothers busying themselves with it.
Xingping placed Feilong's intestines at the entrance of the eel's hole and waited quietly by the side with a pair of large tweezers. People love to eat this thing, and the eel will definitely not be able to resist the temptation.
After a while, a yellow eel appeared and quickly bit the bait. Xingping quickly and accurately clamped the yellow eel. A yellow eel half a meter long was clamped out of the hole.
Master Bai exclaimed, "It's so big, Xingping you are amazing!"
Xingping chuckled and quickly put the eels into the basket.
Xingsong also caught one. Young Master Bai couldn't stay on the shore any longer, so he took off his shoes and went straight into the mud without caring whether they were dirty or not.
Xingping quickly handed the bait to Master Bai and taught him how to catch it.
Master Bai saw the yellow eel coming out of the hole, and he clamped it with the clamp according to Xingping's instruction, but it was useless. The yellow eel ate the bait and shrank back into the hole. Master Bai was anxious and tried to grab it with his hands, but the yellow eel was too slippery to catch. Master Bai struggled and his body and face were covered with mud. Finally, he managed to escape.
Young Master Bai wiped the mud off his face. He still didn’t believe that there was still an eel that Bai Liang couldn’t catch!
If you can't catch this one, try another one.
The three men worked in the paddy field for half the night and caught more than twenty eels, returning home with a full load.
Bai Liang was covered in mud and had a silly smile on his face. How could he look like the pampered young master he was during the day?
䋤䗙 simply washed up and fell asleep. Master Bai thought he would not be able to adapt and fall asleep, but he fell asleep in seconds when he lay on the kang, without even having time to feel anxious.
The next day, Xingping took Master Bai up the mountain to dig traps, catch rabbits and pheasants, and Master Bai had a lot of fun.
Liu Cuiying prepared a meal for Master Bai to recall the past and cherish the sweet past, which included steamed corn bread, wild vegetable soup, and cornmeal porridge.
Young Master Bai excitedly picked up the steamed bun and took a bite. It was hard and sticky. He stretched his neck for a long time but couldn't swallow it. Xingping silently handed him a bowl of wild vegetable soup.
Young Master Bai took a big sip and his face twitched. It was bitter and astringent, with a taste of Saturn. He quickly ran out to vomit, and rinsed his mouth more than ten times before he felt that the taste was gone.
The family at the table were still waiting for him. They hadn't eaten this kind of set meal for a long time, all thanks to Young Master Bai.
