——Song Jianshe.
In the dream, Song Jianshe was selling things in the black market as usual, but this time there were policemen waiting in the black market. When there were many people around, several policemen rushed out and started arresting people.
Whether they were buying or selling, everyone started running in a swarm of panic. Song Jianshe was quick to react, dropping his belongings and running the moment he saw the police.
A man nearby panicked and followed Song Jianshe into the alley. However, when he turned to see the police approaching, he pushed Song Jianshe, fearing he would be caught. Song Jianshe was caught off guard and stumbled back a few steps, nearly falling.
The man ran away, and Song Jianshe was caught by the police who caught up with him.
Baoya actually didn't quite know what it meant that Song Jianshe was arrested by the police, but when she saw the news later, Feng Guizhi almost fainted, Li Qingyan hugged Tiantian and cried, and even the usually lively Yuanbao kept wiping away tears.
The entire Song family was in a state of gloom, even Yang Yulan and Song Jianye sighed constantly. Baoya knew this meant something bad was happening.
Later, Song Jianshe was labeled as a speculator. The Song family found Song Yuangang and asked him to write a letter of guarantee and read a self-criticism. They also spent all the family money before they got Song Jianshe out of prison a month later.
This incident had a huge impact. Not only Song Jianshe, but the entire Song family would be talked about whenever they went out. They were also labeled as the family of a speculator and profiteer. From then on, their lives became increasingly difficult.
This incident was a devastating blow to the Song family.
Seeing the old Song family behind, Baoya frowned in her sleep and couldn't sleep well.
......
Song Jianshe usually left before dawn in the morning when everyone was asleep, so he would leave at this time to avoid being seen by others.
Feng Guizhi knew that he was leaving today, so she got up early, gave him two pancakes, and cooked a few eggs for him to take with him.
It was dark outside, with only a few kerosene lamps lit in the house.
At this time, Baoya, who was still sleeping in the room, suddenly woke up, perhaps because she noticed something. As if she knew that Song Jianshe was leaving, she slowly got out of bed and ran out barefoot without even putting on her shoes.
When Baoya went out, Song Jianshe was carrying a large bag and preparing to leave. Baoya felt nervous and ran away.
She went over and grabbed the corner of his clothes with her little hands, preventing him from leaving.
"What's wrong?" Song Jianshe was pulled over and looked down. His eyes fell on her bare feet again. He quickly put down his things and picked up Baoya.
"Why did you come out barefoot?"
When Feng Guizhi in the kitchen heard the sound, she thought it was Song Yuanbao who knew his father was leaving and ran over. When she went out, she realized it was Baoya.
I haven't put on shoes yet, and my feet are dirty.
She reached out to take Baoya from Song Jianshe's hand and said, "Let's go quickly so that no one can see us later."
Song Jianshe responded and handed Baoya to his mother. However, Baoya stretched out her hands and tightly grasped his clothes, staring at him eagerly, her face tense and looking a little upset.
Feng Guizhi also sensed it, "What's going on?"
Song Jianshe was also confused. This girl was not usually so close to him.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Feng Guizhi tried to persuade him a few more times, but Baoya refused to let go and held tightly onto the corner of Song Jianshe's clothes.
She was speechless and just shook her head.
Although Song Jianshe has two children of his own, he hasn't been home much in recent years. Even when he does, he has a lot to do, so he doesn't have much time to spend with Song Yuanbao. His youngest daughter was born not long ago, so the number of days he's been with her can be counted on one hand.
He rarely experienced the feeling of being so close to a child. Now, seeing Baoya holding him tightly and looking at him nervously with her dark eyes, his heart softened.
He looked at Feng Guizhi and said, "Mom, why don't I stay at home for two more days instead of leaving today?"
It was already getting light outside, and if they left now, they might be seen by the people in the brigade. Besides, her son wanted to stay home for a few more days, so Feng Guizhi naturally had no objection and nodded in agreement.
Song Jianshe then held Baoya in his arms and carried the big bag to put the things back into his room.
Li Qingyan, who was woken up by Song Tiantian in the room, saw Song Jianshe coming back and was a little confused: "Why haven't you left yet?"
As she spoke, she looked outside and saw that it was already getting light.
Song Jianshe looked at Yuanbao still sleeping and lowered his voice: "I don't know what happened to the little girl today. She saw me and pulled my clothes to stop me from leaving. I thought it would be fine to stay at home for two more days. It's a good opportunity to spend more time with you and my daughter, so I didn't leave yet."
Li Qingyan looked at Baoya and smiled softly.
I don't mean to be angry or blame you.
Of course she knew exactly what Song Jianshe was doing. It would be a lie to say that she wasn't worried, but she wouldn't stop him. She knew that her man was working hard for the whole family and to give them a good life.
So even though it was hard to take care of the child alone, she never asked him to stay. Now, because of Baoya, Song Jianshe decided to stay for two more days to accompany her and the child, and she was of course happy.
After the two of them whispered a few words, Li Qingyan noticed that Baoya's feet were a little dirty: "Why aren't you wearing shoes? Go get some water and wash them for her."
Although it is summer, there is still heavy dew and low temperature in the morning, so you can easily catch a cold.
Song Jianshe carried Baoya to the bed and put her down, but Baoya still refused to get down. Her little hands nervously pulled at his clothes, as if she was afraid that he would leave.
Song Jianshe smiled. Not only did he not feel annoyed, but he also patiently explained to her: "Your feet are dirty. Uncle will get you some water to wash. I will be back soon."
Baoya stared at him for a long while, as if judging the truthfulness of his words, then slowly let go of her hand, but her eyes were full of worry.
Li Qingyan was also a little confused when she saw Baoya like this, wondering why she was suddenly so close to Song Jianshe. However, she didn't think much about it and started talking to her to divert her attention:
"Baoya, look at your sister. She is smiling at you."
Li Qingyan waved her sweet little hand as she spoke.
Baoya's attention was indeed drawn away. Seeing Song Tiantian's chubby little face and small hands and feet, she couldn't bear to look away.
I don’t know why, but Song Tiantian, who was a little angry just now, actually started giggling when she saw Baoya looking at her.
"It seems that Tiantian likes Sister Baoya very much~" Li Qingyan also laughed when she saw it, and spoke with a long tone. She also pinched Tiantian's little hand and waved it a few times, making Tiantian laugh even more happily.
Baoya couldn't help but stretch out her little hand and pinch Tiantian's hand. It was chubby and very soft. The two of them, one big and one small, started playing with Tiantian.
Soon, Song Jianshe returned with the water. He placed the basin beside the bed, squatted down, and began to wash Baoya's feet. After washing them clean, he let Baoya get on the bed. Afraid that Baoya would worry about him leaving again, he didn't even go out to pour the water. He placed the basin to the side where it would be out of reach, intending to wait for Song Yuanbao to wake up and have him do it.
The four of them were having fun, only Song Yuanbao was still shouting
Sleep soundly.
Soon, the sky began to brighten, and there were rustling noises in several rooms. When Yang Yulan woke up, she found that Baoya was gone, but the little shoes were still by the bed. She was a little worried, and when she went out, she saw Feng Guizhi sweeping the yard, and she ran over to ask:
"Mom, have you seen Baoya?"
"He's playing in the fourth child's room." Feng Guizhi said as she swept the yard, "I don't know what happened today. He woke up before dawn and held on to the fourth child and wouldn't let go."
Yang Yulan was stunned when she heard this. Although she didn't quite understand, she didn't ask any more questions. It was normal for children's emotions to change quickly.
Knowing that Baoya was fine, she felt relieved. Yang Yulan took the big broom from Feng Guizhi and began to sweep the yard. Feng Guizhi washed her hands and prepared to cook.
During the meal, the eldest and second eldest families saw Song Jianshe and couldn't help but ask him a few questions. Song Jianshe said yesterday that he would leave today, but he was still there at this time. They were wondering why he hadn't left yet.
Song Jianshe didn't say that Baoya had stopped him, he just said that he wanted to stay for a few more days to accompany his daughter. Hearing him say that, everyone naturally believed him, and the matter was let go.
After breakfast, everyone went to school or work.
However, the school is about to start summer vacation, and the few students who go to school are going to take their final exams today.
Thinking that the past few days were the busiest time in the fields, not only were the adults busy, but the children were also busy and helped with a lot of work.
Now that the seeds have been planted, I can relax a bit. There is nothing to do at home, so Song Jianshe said before they left:
"Do well in the exam today, and I'll give you a reward when you come back."
"Reward, what reward?"
Song Jianshe kept it a secret: "You'll know when you come back. I'm sure you'll like it."
"Oh!" The little ones were so happy that they almost jumped up.
"We will definitely do our best in the exam!" After that, the four children went to school to take the exam with high morale.
Seeing the four students leaving for school, Yuanbao hurried over and said, "Dad, me, my fifth brother, my sister Xiaobao, and Tiantian also want a reward."
"Okay, I have them all." Song Jianshe smiled and rubbed his head.
"Really?" Yuanbao's eyes suddenly lit up: "What kind of reward is it?"
Baoya and Tianen Yunduo were also watching eagerly with anticipation on their faces.
Song Jianshe still didn't say anything: "Let's talk about it after your brothers come back."
The little ones were both excited and curious, and their hearts were itchy like a cat being scratched. When they went out to pick up branches in the morning, they kept thinking about this matter in their minds.
The reward Song Jianshe mentioned wasn't anything special; it was just a way to take them to the big pond to catch crabs, to fulfill their wish. The younger ones might not have participated, but the older ones had always wanted to go, but because Feng Guizhi wouldn't let them, they never did.
Before, a child about ten years old from the team went swimming there and almost got into trouble. If there hadn’t been someone who could float and saved him, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Although the children in the brigade were not well-fed and usually ran around in the mountains and fields, the water in this pond was too deep and it was too dangerous without an adult to protect them, so Feng Guizhi did not allow them to go.
Usually the adults are busy at work and have no time to take them there, but Song Jianshe is back, and since he is not so busy, he can take them out to play.
After the exam, the four older ones rushed home without any delay. When they heard Song Jianshe say that they were going to the big pond to catch crabs, their eyes lit up:
"Dig out the crabs!"
"Really, Fourth Uncle?"
"Great, now we can go get some crabs!"
The little ones were all very excited.
"Fourth Uncle, when are we going? Are the crabs easy to catch? I heard from Goudan that crab pinches are very painful."
"Really? Will the crab pinch our hands?"
"Shall we go now?"
“…”
Several children started chattering, and Baoya stood aside, blinking her big eyes, a little curious.
She had never seen a crab before. Yuanbao said crabs have two large claws, eight legs, and can pinch people. She couldn't imagine what they looked like, so she wanted to see one.
"Okay, okay, don't be impatient. If you want to catch crabs, we have to wait until it gets dark."
"Dad, why do we have to wait until dark? Won't we be able to see anything when it's dark? How can we catch crabs then?" Song Yuanbao asked, scratching his head.
"Yeah, why not catch him now?" Song Wenjie also said.
Song Jianshe smiled and tapped their heads: "Because when it gets dark, crabs will come to the shore to look for food, so they are easy to catch. We need to sleep when it gets dark, and crabs will come out to move around when it gets dark."
"Wow~"
"Then let's wait until dark! Then we can catch a lot of crabs!" Song Boyu clenched his fists.
Song Tianen didn't say anything, but then clenched his fists
, nodded in agreement.
Song Jianshe smiled and said, "Okay, then who among you wants to go with me tonight? If you don't want to go, you can just wait at home."
"I want to go."
"Me, me, me, I'm going too!"
In the end, except for Yun Duo, all the other small ones will go.
It was decided to go out to catch crabs after dark. Song Tianen was also very excited. He had never caught crabs by himself before. He pulled Baoya and said with bright eyes:
"Little... Little Treasure sister... tonight I will... I will catch... catch lots of crabs... for you to eat..."
After hearing this, Baoya nodded heavily and smiled happily, showing her small teeth.
Song Tianen scratched his head shyly and smiled foolishly, then pulled Baoya back to the west room.
"Dad... Dad... Tonight, my sister Xiaobao and I are going to catch crabs... and... and my uncle too..."
Hearing that it was Song Jianshe who was taking them, Song Jianye no longer had anything to worry about. He smiled and said, "The crab's claws can pinch people, so you better be careful not to get your hands pinched."
"Then Dad... Dad, have you ever touched a crab?" Song Tianen asked while sitting on the edge of the bed and looking up.
Song Jianye touched his head, leaned forward, reached out and took Baoya to sit on the bed, then said:
“You ate it when you were a kid.”
......
At around 5 or 6 in the afternoon, Song Jianshe would take the children to the big pond. Normally, it would be easier to catch crabs when it was completely dark, around 9 or 10 o'clock.
However, there was no electricity in the brigade, so every household only had a kerosene lamp. Carrying a kerosene lamp to catch crabs was a bit too extravagant, so I had to try it before dark.
A group of people walked towards the big pond. They were all fully equipped. Some were holding baskets, some were holding nets, and some were wearing coarse gloves.
Yuanbao was wearing coarse cloth gloves. His father said that it hurt when crabs pinched his hands, and he thought that if he wore gloves, it would not hurt so much if his hands were pinched again.
On the way, I met someone coming back from work. Seeing Song Jianshe, I couldn't help but ask him a few questions:
"Hey, the construction is finished? Where are you going with the kids?"
"The kids at home have nothing to do and want to go catch crabs, so I take them to the big pond and get a few for them to play with."
"That pond is very deep, you have to be careful." Aunt Sun looked at Song Jianshe's thin body with worry on her face.
If a child accidentally fell in, Song Jianshe might not be able to save him with his strong body, let alone another one.
“I said construction,
"Let the children play, just catch a few crabs in the creek over there. They're not that rare, so don't go to the big pond," Aunt Sun advised.
"We'll just watch from the side. We won't go into the river."
After hearing this, Aunt Sun finally felt relieved. She said a few more words and left.
A few people walked forward again. There was a main road to the east. They met many people who were returning from work. As soon as they saw Song Jianshe, they asked him a few questions.
Some people saw Baoya and exclaimed curiously, "Is this girl Yunduo?"
Although they were all in the same brigade, there were many households separated by the village. They seldom went there, and their workplaces were not in the same place, so some of them rarely saw the Song family and did not know Baoya.
"Why do I remember that the clouds were bigger? Could it be the small one in your house?"
"No, Yun Duo is at home and didn't come. This is the daughter of my third brother and sister-in-law..." Song Jianshe didn't explain it too clearly and just gave a brief introduction.
"Hey, this is your Yuanbao, right? He's grown so tall now?"
......
Before they even reached Datang, Song Jianshe's face was almost frozen from smiling. He had to answer every question, and his mouth was almost dry from talking.
After seeing off Uncle Li at the village entrance, Song Jianshe raised his hand and rubbed his face, feeling that it would be better not to come out.
They had been out for a while, and it was almost dark. Song Wenjie was getting anxious: "Fourth Uncle, let's go quickly."
"Yes, Dad, it's going to be dark soon, how can we catch crabs?" Song Yuanbao urged Song Jianshe, pulling his clothes.
"Okay, okay, let's go faster."
Don't say they are anxious. Song Jianshe said he was tired too and wanted to get there quickly so he could finish early and go back early.
"Then let's run there? Let's have a race to see who gets there first." Song Wenzhi suggested.
"Okay!" The other kids agreed immediately.
"I must have arrived first."
"I go first, I go first."
The brothers immediately started running. Song Tianen wanted to join the race, but he looked back at Baoya. If he ran, she would definitely not be able to catch up with him.
Song Jianshe said, "Go ahead. I'll take Baoya with me."
Song Tianen also ran far away. Seeing that they were some distance away, Song Jianshe picked up Baoya and chased after them.
This time, the group didn't return until nearly eight o'clock. The little ones all had happy faces, except Yuanbao, whose eyes were red.
"What happened?"
"I was pinched by a crab." Song Jianshe patted Yuanbao's head and replied with a smile.
Yuanbao relied on the gloves he was wearing, and when he saw the crab, he bent down to grab it. As a result, he was pinched by the crab's claws, and he cried loudly in pain.
Wiping away tears, he said, "I will never catch these stinky crabs again!"
Feng Guizhi was also amused by his pitiful appearance, "Okay, hurry up and clean up, wash your hands, and get ready for dinner."
The young ones put the crabs they caught into a small bucket, covering it with a wooden board to prevent them from crawling away. This time they pulled out about twenty crabs, which looked like a lot.
A few people lay nearby and watched for a long time before reluctantly washing their hands and going into the house to eat.
We had fish soup tonight. A few days ago, Yuanbao said that we were not allowed to kill the fish, but today, Feng Guizhi saw that one of the fish was about to turn over in its belly, so she simply killed it and made fish soup.
Feng Guizhi took a knife and chopped off the fish head, then cut the fish into small pieces, intending to fry them first.
Fried fish makes soup more fragrant and doesn’t require much oil.
After heating the pan, Feng Guizhi wiped it with an oilcloth, wrapped the fish he had just cut on it, put it into the pan and fried it until both sides were golden brown. The aroma came out immediately.
After frying, pour a few large ladles of water into the pot, cover the pot and start cooking.
Feng Guizhi was not idle either. She left the kitchen and went to the vegetable garden to pick two handfuls of green onions, some mint leaves, washed and cut them into sections, and soaked two handfuls of vermicelli.
After the water boils, add the onions, peppers, garlic, and fried fish, and finally add the softened vermicelli.
The half pot of clear water suddenly became rich.
The aroma of fish drifted out, causing the children in the yard to take a few more breaths.
As the fish soup slowly simmered, Feng Guizhi scooped out some black flour and added some white flour to it, preparing to steam some pancakes. Using only black flour would be too rough and irritating, and using only white flour would be too extravagant, so she decided to mix the two to neutralize the two.
The pancakes were about the size of a palm, so each person only had one. Otherwise, it would be hard to digest. If you weren't full, you could have some black-faced steamed buns.
The fish soup simmered for nearly an hour, and it was ready when they returned. After stir-frying some greens, we had dinner.
They cleaned the table and moved the stools in a lively manner, and then the children sat obediently on the stools, eagerly waiting for the fish soup tonight.
After everything was served on the table, Feng Guizhi said something and everyone started eating.
The delicious fish soup makes you want to swallow your tongue.
The fresh taste of lotus is very rich.
After many delicious meals, Baoya finally had this delicious fish soup. Licking her tongue, she sipped the entire bowl, unwilling to waste any of it. She also devoured the fish meat Yang Yulan had picked out for her.
After putting down her chopsticks, she touched her round belly and burped softly.
Everyone enjoyed this meal very much.
We had dinner a little late today. After finishing our meal and cleaning up, we went back to our rooms to wash up and go to bed. Only a few of the younger ones checked the crabs in the bucket one by one before going back to the room. After confirming that they were still there, they went back to bed with peace of mind.
Feng Guizhi was planning to go to bed, but she remembered that the eggs had not been collected yet, so she took the kerosene lamp and went to the chicken coop to collect the eggs.
As a result, I was stunned when I saw it.
