Chapter 39 - Catch the eel
“Brother, brother, there is something.”
They went down the field and pulled weeds together. Chen Ouyang, who was not necessarily much taller than the rice seedlings, felt the movement of the water at his feet, and was immediately terrified.
There are not only loach and eel in the water, but also water snakes. There are definitely water snakes in this era, and they are definitely not destroyed by pesticides and humans like in the 21st century.
Although Chen Ouyang was a child who was not very favored in his previous life, he was not the kind of pity that his father did not love his mother and did not love him. He also grew up in an interstellar wealthy family. Although he was only a sideline, he had never suffered.
This time, he came to work with his parents and brothers, and he was worried that there would be leeches and leeches in the fields. Now that he heard movement at his feet, Chen Ouyang was going to be frightened.
“What?” Before Chen Lieyang cared about his brother, Chen Xunyang was already interested in coming over to see what it was.
Chen Xunyang’s character is more cheerful. In his previous life, his father did not care about his mother, but he was still detained at home to learn various ways of doing business. Now he is reborn in the countryside, but he is very energetic. The sun and the earth have made heaven and earth.
“Is it a snake?” Chen Jiaoyang also asked his brother’s side. Chen Jiaoyang, who has dealt with many strange things, is not afraid of water snakes, so he came over to help his brother now.
“I don’t know, I just heard the movement, I don’t know what it is.” Chen Ouyang said with a sad face, “Brother, look at what it is.”
“It’s an eel.” Chen Lieyang’s eyes were very good. Although the water in the field was not that clear, he could still see clearly what was in the water.
“Father, there are yellow eels in the water, we didn’t bring a bucket to put them there.” Chen Xunyang raised his head and said to Chen Tiezheng, who was still pulling the weeds with his child on his back after listening to his elder brother’s answer.
“Then run back and get a bucket.” Chen Tiezheng didn’t lift his head, he was still pulling weeds seriously, he didn’t join in the fun with his sons.
Let the sons do fun things like catching eels and loaches. He, a mature and stable old father, can just watch it and not interfere with his sons’ childhood fun.
“Oh.” Chen Xunyang nodded, “Brother, I’ll go back and get the bucket, I’ll be back soon, don’t let the eel run away.”
After Chen Xunyang finished speaking, he hurriedly left the field, climbed to the field ridge, and ran home in a hurry before he even had time to wash the mud on his feet.
“Chen San’er – what are you running for?” A few friends who were also working with their parents in the fields saw Chen Xunyang rushing home and asked curiously.
“Go home and get a bucket and catch the eel.” Chen Xunyang replied as he ran. He was not afraid to tell others that if the eel was caught, he would not catch it. After all, they could not go to someone else’s field without their consent. Is it not caught inside?
And it’s not that others don’t have eyes. They can’t see the brothers who catch the eel by themselves? When people see it, of course, they will also look for eels in their fields.
“Is there an eel?” After hearing Chen Xunyang’s words, the little friends’ eyes lit up, and they ran out of the field one after another, and followed Chen Xunyang home to get buckets.
The children over there ran home to get buckets. Here, Chen Lieyang, Chen Chaoyang, and the others also quickly surrounded the eel, “Second brother, go get a dustpan, we’ll use a dustpan to catch it.”
The eel’s body is sticky, and if you grab it with your hands, you will definitely not be able to catch it, so you still have to find something to come over and pocket it, maybe you can catch the eel.
“Okay.” Chen Chaoyang was also very interested. He didn’t know how many times he had gone into the water with his eldest brother over the years, but he still thought it was fun.
In his previous life, he spent all day reading and reading. Although Yushe in the six arts of the gentleman did not fall, he did not feel the joy of childhood.
Chen Chaoyang still likes to follow his eldest brother and his friends up the mountain to dig out bird’s nests, and go into the water to fish and fish. This kind of thing makes him very relaxed.
“Second brother, hurry up, the eel is going to run away.” Chen Jiaoyang was also very happy, with a happy and anxious expression on his face urging Chen Chaoyang. .
“Big brother and second brother, there are also here.” Chen Ouyang also let go of his fear of water snakes at this moment, and he was also immersed in the fun of catching eels.
“Is there one over there? Is it big?” Chen Chaoyang found Chen Tiezheng jumping on the dustpan of the grass and ash fertilizer from the ridge. Hearing Chen Ouyang’s words, he went straight to his side and looked in the direction Chen Ouyang pointed.
“Yo, it seems that the weight is not small, it must be more than a pound, right?” Chen Chaoyang was also very happy to see the eel, and quickly took the dustpan and shoveled the eel.
“Wow—” Chen Ouyang watched his second brother shoveling the eel quickly, and was very happy when he saw the more than one kilogram of eel in the dustpan, “Second brother, shall we eat stir-fried eel at noon today?”
“Stir frying eel consumes oil, our family doesn’t have that much oil.” Chen Chaoyang said to his brother with a smile.
“Ah…” Chen Ouyang was disappointed, it wasn’t enough that he hadn’t been immersed in such emotions for a long time and let it go. Now it’s more important to catch the eel.
“Second brother, this way.” Chen Lieyang said to Chen Chaoyang.
“Okay, come here.” Chen Chaoyang hurried over there, walked to Chen Lieyang’s side and said, “How is it, brother? Didn’t you run?”
“No.” Chen Lieyang shook his head, “Hurry up and catch it, this one is bigger.”
“OK.”
“Second brother, second brother, hurry up, the eel should run away soon.”
“Second brother, second brother…”
…
Nuan Nuan, who was lying on Chen Tiezheng’s back, pressed her arms against the edge of the strap, and stretched out her head so that she could watch her brothers catch the eel.
Nuan Nuan squinted her eyes, she didn’t hook out a lot of eels at once, and she didn’t let the eels hit the hands of her brothers foolishly.
Moreover, the eels summoned by Nuan Nuan are all over a kilogram of Dahuangshan, and she has let go of the eels that are less than a kilogram.
In addition to the eel, Nuan Nuan also summoned a lot of loach, as well as some other small fish, the biggest ones are two thick, there are really not many big fish.
In fact, there is a river one or two meters wide that passes through a large field in Qianwan Village. There are indeed big fish in the river, such as grass carp, carp and catfish, and even black fish, but Nuan Nuan is here. I don’t intend to summon these fish.
That is to call out eels and loaches and the like to come out for the brothers to play, and find some entertainment for myself when doing farm work, so that I don’t have to work so hard, just relax.
Nuan Nuan was lying on the sling, watching the brothers happily catching the eel, watching the third brother Chen Xunyang running back with a bucket, and then following Chen Lieyang and the others to catch the eel, squinting his eyes in a good mood.
