Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 49 Cage
What Li Canguan said today did not come out of thin air.

The three daughters of the Lu family are all good-tempered and hard-working children. Li Canguan's eldest brother, Li Tantan, is one year older than Lu Xiaoqing.Li Sixi saw it, felt that the girls from the Lu family were good, and wanted to talk about Xiaoqing from the Lu family.Aunt Li disliked Lu Xiaoqing's stuttering, especially because the Qiu family had given birth to several girls and no sons.

It is said that daughters are like mothers, so Aunt Li was afraid that Lu Xiaoqing would be like her mother, who would only give birth to girls, not even a boy.

Didn't that cut off the incense of Li Tantan in their family?

Last spring, Li Tantan and a girl from his cousin's family over there at his maternal ancestral home.The girl is not as pretty as Xiaoqing, but she is nimble.

Li Tantan and that cousin are not too old, and they agreed to wait two years to get married.

For this, Aunt Li showed off several times in front of Qiu Shi.

She has a son and will soon marry a daughter-in-law and hold a grandson.As for Qiu Shi, Xiao Wu was still in his belly at that time, and he didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.

What's the use of giving birth to a litter of girls, in the end it's not raising for others.

Later, the Qiu family gave birth to Lu Xiaowu, and this spring, Lu Xiaosi also came back from his uncle's house.

There were two more boys in the family, and Aunt Li regretted it again.

Compared with Lu Xiaoqing, her cousin and niece are not as good-looking as Lu Xiaoqing, not as capable as Lu Xiaoqing, and not as fond of Lu Xiaoqing's son.

It was Li Sixi who reminded her that Li Tantan had a wife, but Li Canguan didn't have one yet.

Lu Xiaoli is hot and capable, bigger than Li Canguan, so it's not very suitable, why not tell Lu Xiaoyu, who is more honest-tempered, to Li Canguan in her family, and make a baby kiss first.

These words were said by Aunt Li and Li Sixi when they were sleeping at night.

He didn't pay attention, and was heard by Li Canguan.

When he grows up, Li Guanguan is willing to marry Lu Xiaoyu. Although the three girls of the Lu family are dark and thin, they all have thin eyebrows and handsome eyes, and they are very good-looking.

Besides, the girls on the fishing boat are exposed to the wind and the sun, and there are a few who are not dark.

This is why Lu Xiaosi said that Li Canguan was ugly, that he was bald, that he didn't take a bath, and that he didn't hit Lu Xiaosi.

Lu Xiaosi will be his brother-in-law in the future, if he, a brother-in-law, hits his brother-in-law, it's fine.

Li Canguan was so angry that he ran home to find his mother, preparing to sue, and by the way, asked when his wife would be able to marry back.

Didn't Lu Xiaosi despise Li Canguan?

Then he insisted on marrying Lu Xiaoyu back, and when the time came, let Lu Xiaosi call him third brother-in-law.

Let's see if he can still be proud.

Lu Xiaoyu and Chen Yao shook hands, followed by Lu Yange, walking all the way to a small tributary beside Honghu Lake.

Two little girls were looking for wild vegetables and wild duck eggs on the river beach.

Lu Yange found a place to put down the eel baskets he had carried on his back one by one.

When I was young, because the orphanage was close to the countryside, I allocated several paddy fields. .

She followed a group of boys and learned to catch fish and shrimp, and learned to swim.He also followed Grandpa Wu, the gatekeeper, to set down eel cages for catching rice field eels, and set down shrimp cages for catching crayfish in the river. At night, he used a flashlight to look for leeches and frogs and water snakes to sell for money.

Later, the frog was not allowed to be caught, and she also went to middle school and began to live on campus.As long as she comes back from school, Grandpa Wu will still dig out his eel cage, insisting on feeding Lu Yange the rice field eel to make soft pocket long fish noodles.

Grandpa Wu said that children eat eel with great strength.

This eel cage was made by Mo Luquan for her when Lu Yange was recovering from illness.

She said that she was going to weave eel cages to catch ricefield eels, but it took Lu Quan a long time to understand that ricefield eels were the long fish here.

That thing is expensive and hard to grab.

Lu Quan is a dutiful and honest man.

Even more obedient to the words of the fake son he picked up.

Lu Yange said he wanted bamboo, so he spent a whole day chopping a large bundle of bamboo and came back.

This bamboo forest is on a mound not far from the embankment from Jiangjiaba to the Guanyin Temple. From a distance, it looks like a big one.Because there are few fields, it is close to the river beach.There used to be a village, but later a flood broke out and a plague broke out. The whole village died and fled, and this place became a large wasteland.

The reason why Lu Quan knew was because he used to be from that village.

Every year before and after Qingming, and during Chinese New Year, Lu Quan would take a boat to this area to burn paper for his parents and brothers.

He couldn't find the bones of his parents and brothers, and he couldn't find the submerged ancestral graves. He could only rely on this way to miss his relatives.

Lu Yange said that if he wanted to weave [-] cages, he would need bamboo.Lu Quan thought of the bamboo forest in his hometown where no one was in charge, and he cut some back and used them without spending copper money.

After chopping the bamboo, Lu Yange taught it, and Lu Quan weaved it. After weaving two cages, Lu Quan started to weave ten horn cages and ten single cages for Lu Yangge.He didn't like the first two, so he tore them apart, and weaved a medium-sized bamboo basket for each of the four younger sisters with the removed bamboo strips.

In this way, the four brothers and sisters don't have to carry the big bamboo basket out when they want to pick something in the future.

The whole family, except Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Xiaoli, were curious and asked about this weird thing.

Whether it was the Qiu family, Lu Quan, or Lu Xiaoqing, no one asked Lu Yange what this thing was for.

It seems that as long as she wants it, as long as they can do it, they will try their best to find it for her.

Chen Yaoyao put a handful of purslane into the basket, looked at Lu Yange who was running around by the river, and asked softly, "What is your little four doing?"

"Get out of the cage."

Lu Xiaoyu knew that Lu Yange was going to get out of the cage, but she didn't know what to do in the cage.

With such a thin cage, if you say catch fish, it will definitely not work.

She can see that there is a circle of sharp bamboo sticks inserted upside down in the mouth of the cage.

But what if you don't catch fish in the water?
You can't catch a snake!

Seeing that Chen Yaoyao was confused, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't explain anymore, because she was also confused.

Fortunately, Chen Yaoyao didn't ask too much. She was not a talkative child in the first place, because her parents died young, and there was only grandma and elder brother at home. Her life was more difficult than others, and her mind became more and more sensitive.

When playing with the Lu family sisters, I never do anything annoying, let alone gossip.

Around the Dragon Boat Festival, weeds are luxuriant, and most of the wild vegetables are too old to eat.

The ones that can be eaten now are probably fatter and tender horse-tooth vegetables. Although this food is edible, it takes a lot of oil to stir-fry.

However, poor people don’t care about these things. It doesn’t matter to them whether they spend oil or not. Anyway, no one is willing to add oil. Most of them go home and scald them with boiling water.

If you pick a lot, you can also scald them in boiling water, dry them in the sun, and keep them for winter.

Lu Xiaoyu and Chen Yaoyao picked half a basket of horse teeth vegetables, and found a piece of wild mugwort that was not bad.

This stuff is good. After going back to the sun and making tea, it can promote blood circulation and relieve pain, and it can also dispel wind and dampness.

People on the boat like to make a large pot of tea with wild mugwort in summer, and hang it there for adults and children to drink.

Lu Yange put down the eel cage, and after making sure there was no problem, he got up and walked towards Lu Xiaoyu.

Before she could reach Lu Xiaoyu's side, Chen Yaoyao screamed: "Little fish, snake."

Then there was Lu Xiaoyu's surprised cry: "Where is it?"

Lu Yangge was startled and ran away.

It's okay to meet non-poisonous water snakes on this river beach, but if you encounter poisonous snakes and get bitten, you will be in big trouble.
