Chapter 1655

Taking the ground cages wasn't fresh to Qiao Qiao anymore.

There were many people in the family, and they would lower them every few days. The pond at the door, the pond in the distance, the big pond on the mountain... now there was also a huge river beach.

The ingredients that could be harvested in the ground cages were also increasing, crucian carp, carp, white fish, silver carp, bighead carp, loach, swamp eel, crab, small shrimp...

In short, it was like a fisherman's harvest, everything was there, everything was complete.

It was just that sometimes the quantity of a single species was too small to make a dish, so they could only put them back or raise them for two days.

Because of this, Qiao Qiao was even too lazy to livestream.

And Teacher Xin explained that since there were children from other places, it was better not to show their faces as much as possible. Qiao Qiao was an obedient child, and now he was carefree, deciding to give his little friends a break!

After all, many things had been sold recently, and there were more benefits; it didn't matter if he paused for ten days or half a month, right?

But for things that country people were accustomed to, city children were unspeakably excited and expectant.

They had at most watched their grandfathers fish, or stomped in the water to catch small crabs in river ditches during the holidays.

This magical trick of putting a long, long cage into the water at night and having a full harvest the next day simply opened up a new world.

Now three children and a dog surrounded Qiao Qiao, chattering and noisy, making the parents' heads swell, only Qiao Qiao was satisfied—as a big brother, bringing children was truly very fulfilling for him.

The water vapor at the river beach after 6 o'clock was heavy, and the strands of bright sunlight hadn't had time to shine down completely, but even so, walking all the way, everyone was sweating.

Chen Xi and Chen Chi went to tidy up the livestock shed early in the morning, Zhang Wangjia was using a machine to turn the fertilizer at the fermentation pond, and only the strong female warrior Tie Lian and the uncle from town were collecting pasture on the side, busy and bustling.

By the way, they also shouted:

"Qiao Qiao, the boss said you brought friends, so we won't pick duck eggs today; let you come to pick duck eggs in the reed marsh here in the evening."

Most chickens were obedient and laid eggs in fixed positions every time.

But ducks were obviously much more indulgent; this reed marsh was green, secluded, cool, and had thick piles of grass underneath, which was the environment they liked to lay eggs in.

When they first moved here, many of them especially liked to lay them in the river beach!

Once duck eggs were soaked in water, they had to be cleaned up as soon as possible, which increased the task volume for no reason. In the end, Da Wang led the dogs to stare at them every time they came, and they were much more honest.

Qiao Qiao explained this, and now the ground cages hadn't been picked up yet, but the children were wowing, obviously having another expectation!

Even the children's mothers were itching to try:

"Are there many duck eggs? Can you pick them all? Do you need us to help?"

There were quite a few, nearly two hundred ducks, and most of them were laying eggs...

And it was fine for small children to pick duck eggs, but it was really not reassuring for them to carry duck eggs.

Qiao Qiao was very smart now: "Yes! I want the aunts to come and play!"

Lu Chuan also laughed: "The things arranged at home are quite full; if there is time after picking duck eggs, I'll take you to pick water caltrops."

Unexpectedly, the men at home were a bit unwilling.

They didn't want to give up picking water caltrops either, so they asked: "If they come to pick duck eggs and water caltrops in the afternoon, can we fish in this area?"

Originally, Lu Chuan's arrangement was to set off at 4 o'clock in the morning to come here to fish, fishing until past 9 o'clock, when the sun rose high, the temperature rose, and then go back; they could always have two meals of harvest.

But...

"We really can't get up at 4 o'clock."

Just tidying up the children took more than half an hour longer than others.

And there were these two fish-touching kings, He Kuang and Qin Yun, whose work couldn't be finished without dragging it to the DDL.

The grandmothers had no opinion, and seeing Lu Chuan consulting, they waved their hands:

"The scenery here is so good, it's comfortable to sit and daydream; they do their things, we play our own; Little Lu, you also rest for a while, you don't have to accompany us all the time."

With such a large group of them, swarming, and the children tossing about, how much energy would it take to have someone accompany them all day?

After getting familiar with the road these two days, they could play by themselves.

"Okay," Lu Chuan didn't decline: "Then I'll take you to pick water caltrops tomorrow afternoon—the water is cool in the morning, and it's just right in the afternoon."

The adults talked about the adults' things, and Qiao Qiao had already taken the children to find the rope left yesterday, solemnly shouting: "Time to pick it up!"

This ground cage was newly bought by Lu Chuan yesterday, longer than the original one at home, a full 12 meters.

Now it was placed in the river in a long line, and when he pulled it hard with the rope, it was actually a bit strenuous.

It could be seen that there was definitely a big harvest inside.

Qiao Qiao originally intended to step back two steps and then wind the rope twice to pull hard, but looking at the children who were also clenching their fists and standing on the side, watching the water surface intently, he loosened the rope end he was holding.

"Do you know how to play tug-of-war? If you do, hold the rope. I'll say pull, and we'll pull back together, okay?"

That would be too okay!

He Tuoluo was duty-bound: "I have great strength, I'll stand last."

Qiao Qiao didn't believe it! His strength was the greatest!

"If you stand last, I'll be in front and won't be able to see the water surface clearly..."

He Tuoluo changed his words: "Then you be the last one, I'll be the first one."

The girls didn't want to be outdone: "I have great strength too, I want to be the first one."

"I want to too! I have great strength too! We won the tug-of-war competition in our class!"

It was all harmonious before, but unexpectedly there was a disagreement here; everyone discussed it, and finally the big brother Qiao Qiao made the decision:

"You three play rock-paper-scissors."

Xiao Shi watched from the side, not knowing why people suddenly became so dawdling.

In the past, when picking up ground cages, it only needed to jump and bark on the side to cheer, and after it was taken up, the owner would give it one or two small fish to eat.

"Hmph!" It made a short grunt from its nostrils, obviously a bit impatient. But unfortunately, the children were chattering, and 0 people paid attention.

Fortunately, the children had the character of accepting defeat, and after the rock-paper-scissors ended quickly, no one went back on their word; everyone took their places—

Qin Beibei

He Tuoluo

Yun Danqing

Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao grabbed the rope: "Up!"

The children tightened their arms, their faces flushed, their bodies leaned back, their feet stepped firmly on the grass, and at this moment they truly used all their strength!

And Qiao Qiao also pulled hard.

Driven by him, everyone stepped back step by step, and the ground cage gradually approached the shore from the shallow beach; separated by the muddy water, the full harvest scene could be vaguely seen.

Qin Beibei shouted loudly: "So many! So many!"

Xiao Shi was so anxious on the side that it wagged its tail and circled, coming and going; now that it could see the outline of the ground cage, it barked:

"Woof!"

Then it quickly pounced forward, also biting the rope with its teeth and pulling hard.

?? Slept for ten hours intermittently after sleeping at 9:30 yesterday!
