Chapter 67 Digging for Earthworms

Jiang Yu fed Jiang Niloach quail eggs, and went to play with her two older sisters again, so Wu Xiaoxue bit the bullet and walked up.

"Xiaoyu, can I play with you? My father is here to help your family with work, and I..."

Wu Xiaoxue didn't organize her words well, saying that she came to play with her specially?It seems too deliberate.

"Okay, we are going to catch worms for the chickens of my mother's family now, are you coming?" Jiang Yu said.

Ah, catching bugs?
"Come on." Wu Xiaoxue said while holding back the hesitation in her heart.

They went to Wei Dahua first.

"Godmother, do you have any useless pots?" Jiang Yu asked.

Wei Dahua was washing vegetables and cooking with Li Qiudi and the others.

"Yes, what are you doing breaking the pot, godmother, this is better, if you want to play, play with it."

"No need, just break it!"

Jiang Yu didn't say what he was doing, the broken pot was made of iron, a bit heavy, and there were big holes and a few small holes in the bottom, which were leaking.

The big hole has long been plugged with something, but this thing can't hold water, so throw it aside and do something else.

Jiang Tao was the oldest, holding a pot, and they rushed to the vegetable garden in a swarm.

"Let's not pick other people's vegetables, but look for worms on the side of the road and feed them to the chickens of the godmother's family. If the chickens eat more, they will lay more eggs!" Jiang Yu asked Wu Xiaoxue again, "Sister Xiaoxue, do you have chickens at home?" , the last bit you share, you can take it back and give it to the chicken."

Wu Xiaoxue wanted to say no, she didn't want this thing, it was disgusting.

Jiang Tao said quickly, "Yeah, her family has five, I've seen them before!"

"I don't want it anymore, I'll leave it for you to eat your mother's chicken." Her chickens eat the vegetable leaves that are usually peeled off, and occasionally mix some chicken food with bran or something, otherwise they won't grow meat.

Don't look at Wu Xiaoxue going to work in the field every day, in fact, she hates bugs very much, the kind that makes her scalp tingle when she sees them.

One or two is okay for her, you can pick them up with clods or sticks, if a pile...

I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Jiang Yu thought she was being polite, "It's okay, you can take some away when you're done looking, chickens really like to eat bugs. Otherwise, I'd have the nerve to let sister Xiaoxue look for bugs together."

Listening to this, it seems that she won't let her play together if she doesn't want it.

Wu Xiaoxue could only respond.

Most of the caterpillars in the vegetable field are small caterpillars, and some can be drawn.

"Little fish, here I am. My sister will bring you chopsticks made of tree sticks. Take this clip so you don't get your hands dirty." Jiang Tao didn't want her to play with bugs at first. What is the name of the young lady in the play? By the way, golden branches and jade leaves, how can you play with bugs.

But she insisted on playing, so she had to get her a small stick, so that she didn't need to touch the ugly bugs with her hands.

"Thank you sister!"

Seeing that Jiang Yu was holding it with a stick, Wu Xiaoxue also found a stick, which made her feel less nervous when looking for bugs.

The four of them searched for a long time, and they only found a dozen or so worms. How could there be enough chickens for Wei Dahua's family?

Seeing that Jiang Yu was unhappy, Jiang Tao said, "I know where there are many bugs, come with me!"

Under her leadership, several people came to the reed pond.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get something."

Then, Jiang Tao brought her treasure - a broken shovel, the kind of shovel used for cooking.

"Little fish, stay a little far away and watch me." He picked up the shovel and started digging.

There was a lot of grass growing beside the reed pond, Jiang Tao found a place with little grass, and began to dig down with difficulty, shovel by shovel.

The soil on the top has been hardened by the sun, making it difficult to dig, and the soil below becomes moist.

I don't know how long I've been digging, but I just heard Jiang Tao yelling, "I got it, I got it, bring the basin!"

Jiang Yu trotted over, and opened her mouth wide "Wow", "There are really bugs!"

"This is called an earthworm." Seeing that the little girl was so happy, she was a little proud. "Fish loves to eat, and so do chickens. Let's get it back and feed it to your godmother's chicken, and the little fish will have more eggs to eat, sister." Is it great?"

Jiang Yu nodded desperately, "The elder sister is amazing!"

She knelt down and was about to catch her with her hands, but Jiang Tao stopped her and asked her to hold a wooden stick.

In fact, Jiang Yu prefers to use his hands, which is convenient, but at Jiang Tao's insistence, he uses a small stick to slowly clamp.

After being exposed to the air, earthworms will burrow everywhere, trying to return to the soil, so they run fast and temporarily escape their lives.

But how could Jiang Yu let them go so easily, Wei Dahua's family has more than a dozen chickens, and she wants many, many, many earthworms!
She picked up the shovel, "Don't run away, it's all for the little fish!"

Then I dug a few shovels, the soil was too wet, and it stuck to the shovels. The ginger fish shook and shook, and finally shook them all off, but got them on the skirt.

"Xiaoyu, your skirt is dirty!" Wu Xiaoxue said worriedly.

Jiang Yu just looked at it, patted it with his hands a few times, "it's all right", and continued to dig.

"But your skirt is dirty. Your father will beat you for such a new skirt. Don't dig it."

She didn't even want such a beautiful white dress, and occasionally she wore a new dress, as long as Wu Xiaoxue got dirty, her mother would scold her.

Jiang Yu will be scolded!

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaoxue was not worried, but happy.

"Father won't scold me. If it's dirty, it's dirty. It's fine if you don't wash it. My father said that nothing is as important as my happiness."

Anyway, clothes will get dirty and old, so what's the matter.

Is that right?

Wu Xiaoxue was stunned.

But in her family, new clothes are more important than her!

Jiang Yu didn't notice her look at all, and even if she did, she didn't know what she was thinking. She took another hit with the shovel, but the soil didn't stick to the shovel, but rolled into a ball.

Look carefully, where is the mud ball, it is clearly a group of earthworms!
On the other side that was dug just now, there are more earthworms exposed, densely packed with drills.

"I found an earthworm nest! Sister, hurry up and catch it!"

She didn't care about sticks anymore, she just grabbed them into the basin with her hands, as did Jiangtao and Jiangli. After a while, her hands were all covered with mud, and she wiped sweat on her face, making her face and body even dirtier. .

Jiang Yu seemed to have really found an earthworm nest, and the more he dug there, the more he dug, and finally filled more than half of the pot, which was full of densely packed earthworms.

"Great, now the chicks will eat you. By the way, sister Xiaoxue, you can take some back too!"

Wu Xiaoxue looked at the densely packed slender earthworms, they looked like short brown noodles turned fine, and also a bit like maggots in a latrine.

Ouch, she couldn't help retching.

"Sister Xiaoxue, don't you like bugs?"

Jiang Yu's eyes were pure and clean, just looking at her like that.

Wu Xiaoxue felt that her heart had been peeked into, and subconsciously wanted to hide her true emotions. She had been doing this since she was a child, and she was used to it.

"No, I'm so happy, I didn't put in much effort at all, and I still have to give it to me..."

Jiang Yu showed a big smile, "No, sister Xiaoxue helped a lot, let's find something for sister Xiaoxue to take home!"
