Children on summer vacation are the craziest, and the stream is just crazy. Today I will snatch fish, tomorrow I will catch crabs, walk around the streets (although there are no streets or alleys here), jumping up and down, and staying quietly at home for no day. Oh, you can be quiet at home on rainy days.

Look, a group of four people, fixed teammates, walked around from behind my cousin's house and planned to go home. When they saw a stone jar, they curiously went up to take a look.

In the streams, basically every household has a stone jar for storing water. Some are taken out of a whole stone, some are good stones, they are connected with cement, some are carved patterns, and some are not carved patterns. Although they are different, due to the large capacity, they store more water, which makes it easier to draw water, and the water is scooped out and cool.

This stone jar was on a small piece of wasteland next to the locust tree behind my cousin's house. Behind it is a bamboo forest, and the front is blocked by a broken wall house. Moreover, the stone jar is covered with Artemisia annua, which is covered tightly. However, a corner of Artemisia annua was slightly left out, so the sharp-eyed children saw it.

"Ah, it's eels, so many eels!" Zhao Bo ran over to check it out first, and then said it loudly.

I heard that there were a lot of eels, and a few little guys rushed over, stared at them curiously, and then started talking nonsense.

"Wow, really, that big."

"Oh, this is too big, it looks like a snake."

"So many, how many of them are there."

"Whose is this? Put it here."

"Yes, which one is this?"

"This should be released by the eldest brother. I went with him to catch eels a few days ago." Two days ago, my father (Zhao Juan and his name were called Big Brother, because his surname was Zhao) went to catch eels. Zhao Bo followed him and judged.

There are indeed many eels in this tank. There are half a tank of water in the tank, and dense eels are dancing inside. Fortunately, there are no intensive phobia among these children, otherwise they will be scared to death. Each eel has a baby's arms thick and a yellow-red belly.

Several children fiddled with branches for a while, and after being curious, they went home.

On that day, when I woke up in the afternoon, Xiaoxi took his younger brother to the old yard to play with them.

"Auntie Young Master, where is Xiaojuan?" When Xiaoxi arrived at the old yard, he found that the brother and sister were not there, so he asked his uncle who was sitting on the street to make up the bed sheets.

"Oh, Xiaoxi and Binbin came to play with Xiaojuan. They didn't know where they went. They didn't sleep at noon and didn't know where they went crazy again." My uncle continued to sew the bed sheets with his hands, muttering.

This person just said, "I'm going to be back now, just now I'm talking about Zhao Juan."

"Xiaoxi, Binbin, you are here." Zhao Juan turned the corner and saw Xiaoxi and the sisters standing in the middle of their own street, and greeted, "Mother-in-law."

"You are back, where are you going crazy? Xiaoxi and Binbin are here to play with you and you are not here."

"I haven't gone anywhere, right on the side of the big guys. Hehe... Xiaoxi, Binbin, I'll take you to Xiqiqi." After that, he turned around and ran back to the kitchen. After a while, he took a rubber bucket out and excitedly greeted Xiaoxi's sister and brother, "Let's go, I'll take you to play."

"Xiaoxi, my brother and I saw eels in the pond just now. My brother asked me to come back to get the bucket, and he was still waiting there. It's such a coincidence that I just came back and you meet you, so let's go together."

"Catch eels, will you two do?" Xiaoxi expressed his doubts.

The word "恕" sounds very long, which makes you feel relieved. "Last time, I went to catch eels, didn't my brother go with me? He learned a little."

"Oh... By the way, Xiaojuan, you didn't take a nap in the afternoon, what did you do?" Xiaoxi expressed his admiration for Zhao Juan. In the afternoon, the sun was so poisonous. Even the adults who were used to farm work were hiding at home, but she often didn't take a nap and jumped around with her brother, which was very energetic.

When Xiaoxi asked this, Zhao Juan covered her mouth and smiled, "I tell you, I went to the back mountain with my brother to catch a golden beetle today. I have caught a lot of them. Binbin, I will tie you up and play with you later."

When Chen Yubin heard some fun, he clapped his hands happily and said, "Okay, thank you Xiaojuan." Those who are of similar age are like this, and they call their names directly.

The scarab is a common carapace insect in summer and is an indispensable toy for young streams.

The dam that Zhao Juan mentioned was not the one in front of Xiaoxi's house, but next to her father's house. It covers an area of ​​about half acre. Although it is not big, it is very deep. Xiaoxi and the others climbed to the edge of the dam before they saw Zhao Bo sitting on a stone inside the dam.

Standing on the top, Zhao Juan shouted to Zhao Bo below: "Brother, I'm here, Xiaoxi and Binbin are here too." Then she showed him the rubber bucket in her hand, "I've brought the bucket too." She turned around and said to Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin, "Let's go down."

When we got down, Xiaoxi saw the scarabs in the plastic bottle placed on the stone at a glance. There were about a dozen, copper-green ones. The plastic bottle was twisted with a lid, but there were many eyes on the bottle, which prevented the scarabs from suffocating to death.

Putting the bucket aside, Zhao Juan hurried to her brother, "Brother, how many have you found?"

"Hey, a few." Zhao Bo said happily.

This pond is usually useless, but it still cannot store water. Now the bottom of the pond is torn into pieces by cracks, and only a few small pits are covered with shallow water. From time to time, water blisters appear, and you will find that they are coming out from small holes under the water. This small mud hole is the hiding place of the eels.

After taking off his shoes, Zhao Juan and Zhao Bo got into the water. The stream didn't dare to go down, but the eels would bite people.

Be careful to rush to the small hole, follow the direction of the hole, and slowly dig it with your hands. Be careful when digging, because if you find out that the eel is digging it, it will fight back, and the eel also has teeth.

In about half an hour, Zhao Juan and Zhao Bo dug all the small holes in several puddles and found six eels, two babies with arms thick, and the other four were too small.

Then, he slowly walked to the big stone, and there were several holes in the crack of the stone. Zhao Bo refused to let Zhao Juan take action, so he asked her to watch it, and he fumbled along the hole even more streams.

Touching eels in the cracks of the stone is even more dangerous because you can't see it. Xiaoxi is a little worried about Zhao Bo, after all, he has only been with his cousin's father once.

In the end, Zhao Bo was not injured because there were no eels in those holes, so I didn't know where to go. Seeing that Zhao Bo was not injured, Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief.

I went ashore, washed my feet, put on my shoes, carried the bucket, and took the plastic bottle, and went back.

On the way back, Zhao Bo thought for a while and said, "I'll raise these small ones on the head of my big jar. There's not much meat anyway."

Zhao Juan agreed to her brother's decision without thinking. So several people changed the way and put the four small eels into the stone jar.

Chen Yubin pulled the edge of the jar, frowned, and said worriedly: "Will these big ones eat smaller ones?"

Xiaoxi pulled up his hand holding the edge of the tank and said, "No, we're back."

When Zhao Juan returned home, she brought a basin of water from the kitchen and began to wash the eels. She used scissors to cut her belly and took out all the internal organs. These were not useful.

After Zhao Bo boiled hot water, Zhao Juan also processed the eel. Put the whole eel into a pot and blanched it in hot water to remove the mucus on the body.

Take it out and wash it with clean water and cut it into sections. Brush the pot, and when the pot is hot, add rapeseed oil, add chili sauce and ginger and garlic to stir-fry, then pour in the eel section, stir-fry for a few minutes, add salt, and put it into the pot.

Because there is no cooking wine at home, it has a little fishy smell, but it smells very fragrant. In fact, Zhao Juan has always been talented in cooking.

When the food was served, my uncle-in-law tasted a bit of chopsticks very deliciously and praised, "It's delicious." Then she didn't bother the little guys and went back to continue to make up the bed sheets.

Zhao Juan tasted her skills and thought it was pretty good, so she urged: "Xiaoxi, eat quickly, what are you doing?"

Xiaoxi looked at the three people who were eating on the table and said embarrassedly: "Hahaha... I don't eat anymore, I'm afraid." Xiaoxi never ate things like eels and loaches. One is that it can't arouse his appetite, the other is that he is really afraid of such snake-like things, and the third is that he is afraid of being a nutrition teacher in college.

At that time, there was a class that specialized in the aquatic products of shrimp and crab, saying that there were so many kinds of parasites in it. If they were not killed, they would be like this when they were eaten. As a result, Xiaoxi always felt that these things would not be clean, so he seldom eaten, and basically did not eat them. This was the hurdle that she could not overcome in her heart, mainly because she still remembered the class freshly.

Zhao Juan thought she was afraid, so she didn't persuade her anymore, so she quickly snatched food with her brother.

Because Zhao Juan put a little too much chili, Chen Yubin was sweating on his forehead and bright red lips. With his pink and fair face, he was so cute!

Xiaoxi quickly snatched the chopsticks from Chen Yubin's hand and said seriously: "Binbin, you can't eat it anymore, look at what you look like."

Zhao Juan saw Chen Yubin's tears in her eyes, her face was rosy, and she stuck out her tongue, and she was very cute. She suddenly had a red heart. She put down her chopsticks and rubbed her little face, "Ah... Binbin, you are so cute!"

Chen Yubin looked at his sister for help. Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel a little funny, so he tried hard to rescue his younger brother's face from Zhao Juan.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Juan took out the plastic bottle containing the scarab and asked her mother-in-law for a white thread for sewing clothes. The three of them started to make toys with the scarab and the white thread. Zhao Bo had already gone to watch TV.

Zhao Juan unscrewed the bottle cap, carefully poured out a scarab and squeezed it into her hand. Xiaoxi cut off the white thread and carefully tied a dead knot on the scarab's legs. When tied, you should not use too much force, as it would break its legs; the force should not be too small, as it would easily break free and run away.

The first one was tied up, and because of the promise in the afternoon, Zhao Juan quickly handed it to Chen Yubin. Thinking of the scene when he was having dinner, Chen Yubin is still in fear. After taking the golden beetle, he quickly ran aside to play.

The two of them worked together to tie the remaining dozens. Some tied small stones on one end, and the scarabs flew to freedom with the stones. The stones would turn around in circles. They called this a push mill. Some were tied to the ropes for drying clothes, and a row of ten were flying each other, which was very fun.
Chapter completed!
