When the children heard that they were going to drive a tractor, they all became energetic and wanted to follow Liu Chen to ride on the tractor.

Liu Dameng also limped along and followed. Liu Chen looked at it and burst out laughing: "Da Meng, can your butt still ride on a tractor? I'd better spare your butt."

Liu Dameng chuckled: "It does hurt a bit. It would be nice if I could lie down on the tractor."

"Haha." Everyone laughed.

"Okay, go home and go to bed quickly. Be more honest these days, otherwise your butt will bloom." Liu Chen said with a smile.

Liu Chen was walking in front, and the big bamboo rats were all squirming behind Liu Chen.

When the tractor arrived, several children happily sat on it.

He drove back suddenly.

Everyone got off the car and prepared to catch eels.

During the meeting just now, when everyone heard that Liu Chen was going to sell eels, many young people came over to help.

In this era, everyone is more enthusiastic. If a family has something to do, the whole team will help.

Anyway, it's still early to go to bed now, and everyone can't sleep. Let's help load the eels and turtles onto the tractor, and then watch TV later.

There were ten to twenty people, and the tractor was quickly filled.

There is really strength in numbers, and it didn’t take much effort to install everything.

Liu Chen brought the tea leaves exchanged from Captain Liu's house, as well as dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other mountain products. Liu Chen also brought the old money Zhang Meiyun gave him last time, and also brought some dried bamboo shoots.

Black bear meat, two bear paws collected by Liu Jiangang, wild boar belly, etc.

After putting everything away, there was a cart full of things.

"Uncle, you have to be careful and bring me delicious food when you come back." Wu Yiyi looked at Liu Chen and said.

"Okay, you have to be obedient at home and buy you something delicious when you come back."

"okay."

Several nephews and nieces cheered.

Anyway, the old rules were followed. Everyone watched Liu Chen drive away on the tractor, and then went back to watch TV.

Liu Chen drove the tractor and walked towards the commune.

When Liu Chen saw that everyone had gone back to watch TV, he drove the tractor directly to the woods, took out the jade pendant, and silently thought about the place beside the reservoir in his hometown, and felt his eyes darken.

When he woke up again, he came to a place not far from the reservoir just like last time.

Liu Chen took advantage of the fact that no one was around and changed his clothes.

Driving the tractor, we soon arrived at the edge of our reservoir.

Liu Tao, who was looking at the reservoir, came up to him, looked at Liu Chen with a smile and said, "Ah Chen, you're here, you've got a lot this time."

I came back earlier this time, it's only five or six in the morning.

At this time, I saw Liu Lili and Liu Kexin behind me. When they saw it was Liu Chen, they walked over quickly.

Liu Kexin ran directly and quickly ran to Liu Chen: "Uncle Chen, I haven't seen you for several days. Where have you been?"

"Come, let uncle hug you. Do you miss uncle?"

"I think so. Yesterday, my father said that he would eat a goose when you come back."

Liu Kexin told Liu Chen that yesterday, there was a strong wind in the mountains and a tree fell down, killing the goose.

Liu Lili had taken care of the goose and was waiting for Liu Chen to come so that they could stew the goose in an iron pot together.

This was dealt with last night, and Liu Chen is here today. I really miss Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is here.

Everyone dumped part of the eel on the tractor into the reservoir first, and the other part was taken to the hotel later.

Liu Chen took a lot of mountain fruits from the tractor and some persimmon cakes to Liu Kexin. Kexin shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't want to eat them. If I want to eat the fruits on the mountains, I can let my father pick them. You are in the city."

If you can’t eat it, take it back and eat it.”

Liu Chen looked at the little Liu Kexin, how old he is, he actually knows so much, like a little adult.

Liu Chen talked hard and finally left some dried fruits and persimmon cakes.

Liu Chen took some wild tea and gave it to Liu Tao who was watching the reservoir.

It was still quite early at this time, and we hadn’t eaten yet. Liu Tao said he would prepare the meal, and his cooking was first-rate.

Liu Chen picked a tender gourd, brought eggs and flour, and prepared a gourd cake.

Although Liu Tao is alone and a bachelor, he is still very particular about life.

It didn't take much effort and he had the meal ready.

Each person had an omelette, fried gourd cakes, boiled tea eggs, my mother's rice wine and egg drop soup, and my own pickled salted duck eggs, and I also took out my own pickled Laba garlic.

Liu Chen still liked to eat gourd pancakes. He ate three or four of them in one sitting, drank two large bowls of rice wine and egg drop soup, and ate two tea eggs and a fried egg.

Liu Chen touched his bulging belly and said, not to mention, this gourd cake is really good.

Liu Tao saw that Liu Chen liked to eat, so he went to the vegetable garden to pick two gourds and put them on the tractor, as well as some laba garlic and salted duck eggs.

After having breakfast, Liu Chen took a rest. Liu Chen drove Liu Lili and Liu Kexin to Liu Lili's house.

During Liu Chen's absence, Liu Lili helped Liu Chen collect more than ten bags of peanuts and sunflower seeds, as well as some wild tea grown and roasted by the mountain people. The taste was really good.

He also collected five snakeskin bags of walnuts for Liu Chen, and placed them all in the living room of Liu Ideal's house, covered with canvas.

Liu Chen asked Liu Lili to calculate how much money he would pay. Liu Lili smiled and said that he didn't need to pay. When the time came, he would deduct it from the eels and turtles he pulled.

Of course Liu Chen didn't care. Anyway, he knew what kind of person Liu Lili was. After so many years of relationship, he was closer than his own brothers.

Liu Chen told Liu Lili that there were many wastelands in the mountains. He had dealt with some of the weeds and planned to plant all the herbs by then. There were also some mountainous areas where fruit trees would be planted next spring.

"Uncle Chen, look, look quickly, that's a rat, a big rat."

Liu Chen took a look and saw the big bamboo rat hiding in the gap between the two plastic barrels.

When the big bamboo rat heard the sound, it shook its body, ran out from the gap between the two plastic barrels, and ran directly to Liu Chen's side, cooing.

Liu Chen took a closer look, wasn't this a big bamboo rat? He really didn't know when this kid had followed him.

Liu Chen looked at the big bamboo rat, which had traveled through time with him. The injuries on his body were almost invisible. His eyes were swollen, and he was cooing around Liu Chen, as if telling Liu Chen that I was with Liu Chen.

You came together.

Liu Chen held the big bamboo rat in his arms. The big bamboo rat cooed and rubbed his head on Liu Chen's arm.

"Wow, Uncle Chen, this big mouse looks so familiar to you. It likes you."

"This is not a mouse, this is a bamboo rat. I keep it for fun."

Liu Lili looked at Liu Chen, glared and said, "Achen, are you really the one who raised this?"

Liu Lili looked at the big bamboo rat. It didn't look like it was farmed. Looking at its body and cleverness, wasn't it a wild one? But why was this wild one so close to Liu Chen?

"Did you raise this?" Liu Lili said incredulously.

It would be okay if he had been raised since he was a child, but it is incredible how this wild one could be so close to Liu Chen.

"I encountered it when I was collecting eels in the mountains. It was injured. I rescued it, so it couldn't be driven away. No, it followed me here." Liu Chen lied with a smile.

Anyway, Liu Chen is used to telling lies like this. It is impossible to tell the truth anyway.

"Uncle Chen, can I give you a hug?"

Liu Chen knew that this big bamboo rat still had a very bad temper. When Wu Yiyi wanted to hug it, it grinned and cooed. At the beginning, it was not allowed to be hugged. Now it doesn’t know if it will be allowed.

Let Liu Ke hug her.

Liu Chen touched the big bamboo rat's head and said, "I want to hug you, so you have to be good and honest."

The big bamboo rat cooed and nodded twice, as if he understood what Liu Chen said.

Liu Chen put the big bamboo rat into Liu Kexin's arms, and the big bamboo rat rubbed its furry head on Liu Kexin's arm.

Liu Kexin was so excited that she said happily: "Abba, look, Uncle Chen's big bamboo rat is letting me hold it. It likes me."

"Yes, I am obedient and sensible. Even bamboo rats like me."

Liu Chen looked at the bamboo rat in front of him. It seemed like the bamboo rat could understand his own words. Could it be that this time travel was enlightening?

Here, Liu Lili packed the goose that he had processed last night for Liu Chen, and brought Liu Chen some pickled bracken and pickled vegetables.

"Oh, don't get that big goose for me. You and Kexin can eat it."

"I raise so many of them, we can kill them at any time if we want to eat them. You don't have many of them if you don't feed them."

"I'll get you something delicious too."

Liu Chen took some black bear meat from the tractor, some roe deer meat, and some mandarin fish, sea bass and Huaiwang fish. These were all caught by tigers. They were originally sent to the eldest sister. Liu Chen thought to himself,

The eldest brother-in-law brought it last time, but the eldest sister might not have finished eating it yet, so Liu Chen brought it over.

"You collected all this in the mountains?"

"Yes, it's real. Try it."

After all, these things were nothing in 1979, and there was no such thing as protected animals at that time. As long as you had the ability to catch them, you could eat them as you pleased.

It's 2022 now, and these things are all protected. You have to know that you are eating these meats, which is a big deal. Although it won't make you vomit it out, the free meals are enough for you.

When Liu Lili saw that Liu Chen had actually taken so much, he postponed it several times, but finally kept the black bear meat, roe deer meat, and a sea bass, which he would steam for Kexin when the time came. He did not ask for the Huaiwang fish or mandarin fish.

.

Liu Lili eats a lot of fish, but he doesn’t like it very much, and he simply doesn’t want it anymore.

"Uncle Chen, please don't leave. I don't want you to go."

Liu Chen looked at Liu Kexin and said with a smile: "Do you not want me to leave, or do you not want the Bamboo Rat to leave?"

Liu Kexin was suddenly exposed by Liu Chen, and he quickly smiled and said: "Haha, I was discovered by you, and I don't want you to leave. This big bamboo rat likes me, and I want to play with it."

Liu Chen smiled and touched Liu Kexin's head and said, "Let me ask for you. If the big bamboo rat is willing to stay with you, I will let it stay. If not, then let it follow me."
