Rebirth begins with marrying an educated youth

Chapter 32

The sunlight was broken and shone in the grove outside Xiaoshantun Village.

After the refreshing rain, the surface of the ground still has moisture, and even a layer of water can be squeezed out if you step on it.

If you don't step on it well, you may slip and fall.

In the woods, there were several children running around picking mushrooms, laughing and joking.

Seeing that Ji Yuanhai led Wang Xiaohong to the woods, these children called their friends and ran to the distance again.

"Uncle Yuan Hai." Wang Xiaohong called softly.

"What's wrong, Xiaohong?" Ji Yuanhai asked.

"It's not dark now, so don't you know that the monkeys don't crawl out of the soil?" Wang Xiaohong said, "They only come out when it's getting dark and climb up the trees."

"That's when we can catch them."

"If it's in the soil and hasn't crawled out, it's not easy to catch."

Ji Yuanhai laughed, but the little girl spoke clearly.

"Well, you're right, what else do you know?"

Wang Xiaohong shook her head and said she didn't know.

"Then tell me, what should we do if we don't catch the cicada monkey?" Ji Yuanhai asked with a smile.

"Should we also pick mushrooms? My mother must be very happy to pick the mushrooms back, and they are all happy too." Wang Xiaohong said.

"Who are they?" Ji Yuanhai asked again.

Wang Xiaohong stopped talking.

Of course Ji Yuanhai also knew that they must be two female educated youths.

It is certain that Liu Xianglan and Wang Xiaohong are not popular.

But in order to have a place to live, I can bear this cold shoulder.

"Don't worry, Xiaohong." Ji Yuanhai said, "Do you know how Zhizhi Monkey grows up?"

Wang Xiaohong shook her head with a curious look on her face.

Ji Yuanhai said: "They are in the soil under the tree. From the size of ants, they start to suck the sap from the roots of the tree to grow."

"When it grows up, it digs the soil and crawls out, climbs up the tree, and then sheds its outer shell and becomes a cicada, squeaking."

Wang Xiaohong nodded, and looked at Ji Yuanhai in surprise: "Uncle Yuanhai, you are really amazing."

Ji Yuanhai smiled: "It's not that I'm good, it's knowledge."

"Based on this knowledge, we can know that the cicada monkey is now digging up in the soil and wants to climb out."

"We don't have to wait for it to crawl out, we just need to find a little sign of loose soil, and then we dig down, and we can pull out the cicada monkey and catch it."

This is not Ji Yuanhai's nonsense, but to catch the cicada monkey, just look at the tree and under the tree.

Cicada monkeys climbing up the tree should be caught, and cicada monkeys digging out of the soil under the tree should also be caught.

Some of them have just opened a small gap, and for sharp-eyed children, there are already obvious traces, and the cicada monkey can be caught.

Obviously, Wang Xiaohong did not have the rich experience of Ji Yuanhai, so after hearing this, she cheered Ji Yuanhai again and again.

Ji Yuanhai walked around an elm tree twice, but found no trace of the cicada monkey drilling out.

However, he didn't just give up.

Resonate with the elm tree and feel the cicada monkeys around the tree's roots that have grown fat and are ready to emerge from the ground this summer.

The elm tree also instinctively rejects these things that squeeze its own juice.

Under Ji Yuanhai's manipulation, the tree roots pushed the six cicada monkeys "hitting the mole in reverse" directly under the surface of the ground.

Like picking up dates, he bent down and peeled away a layer of wet soil, picked up a cicada, and handed it to Wang Xiaohong.

Wang Xiaohong immediately cheered, opened the cloth bag, and put the cicada monkey in it.

"Uncle Yuan Hai, you are amazing!"

Ji Yuanhai smiled and picked up the second cicada monkey and handed it to Wang Xiaohong.

Wang Xiaohong cheered again: "Another one!"

The third one knows the monkey, the fourth one knows the monkey...

Wang Xiaohong stopped cheering, her face full of joy and expectation, followed behind Ji Yuanhai, and opened the cloth bag she was carrying.

The Era Sea circles around the elm and poplar trees in the forest. Under each tree, more than five cicada monkeys can be caught. Sometimes they even reach out and pick a cicada monkey that has just climbed up the tree from the bark. .

It was only over an hour later, and the sky was just getting a bit dark. The cloth bag in Wang Xiaohong's hand, which could hold a few kilograms of things, was already full, and the cicada monkeys in it kept surging, trying to get out.

"Uncle Yuan Hai, I can't pretend anymore."

She said a little anxiously.

Ji Yuanhai said with a smile: "Then wait until tomorrow to catch them, we will catch so many today."

Wang Xiaohong nodded, carrying such a cloth bag to know the monkey, followed Ji Yuanhai up and down, and even sang a nursery rhyme.

"I picked up a penny on the side of the road and handed it to..."

When they arrived at the production team headquarters, Liu Xianglan was already waiting at the door. Ji Yuanhai motioned to Wang Xiaohong to find her mother.

Wang Xiaohong smiled and handed him the bag, and ran to Liu Xianglan: "Goodbye, Uncle Yuanhai!"

Ji Yuanhai was surprised: "Xiaohong, you don't want your cicada anymore?"

Wang Xiaohong was also very surprised: "Uncle Yuan Hai, you caught this!"

"Thank you Uncle Yuan Hai for taking me to catch cicada monkeys. I had a great time!"

After speaking, he took Liu Xianglan's hand, smiled and waved to Ji Yuanhai to say goodbye.

Looking at the little girl's bright smile, Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but be infected and smiled.

"Xiaohong, you are holding this bag, and you are the one who brought the cicada monkey back, and half of your credit is in it."

"Come here, I'll score you half."

"No need!" Wang Xiaohong said.

Liu Xianglan also said: "Yuan Hai, you are welcome—"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Yuanhai opened the mouth of the bag, poured half of it out, and the monkey was on the ground—it couldn't crawl fast, and he couldn't run.

"I'll take the bag first and use it, and I'll return it to you tomorrow."

After speaking, Ji Yuanhai left directly.

Liu Xianglan was touched and amused at the same time. She couldn't bear to learn about the rare "meat" of monkeys, so she hurriedly picked up the group of cicada monkeys on the ground with Wang Xiaohong.

After finally picking it up, several educated youths came out and their eyes lit up when they saw the cicada monkey, which could hold two bowls.

"Sister Liu, who caught this?"

"My daughter caught it."

Several educated youths all praised: "This is amazing, it's really a good meal!"

"Shall we have dinner together today?"

A smile appeared on Liu Xianglan's face, as if she didn't know anything: "Okay, let's eat together, let you all taste Sister Liu's cooking skills."

"okay!"

The educated youths were overjoyed, and their attitude towards Liu Xianglan had visibly improved a lot, with each mouthful of "sister".

Liu Xianglan finally relaxed her fear and became more natural when getting along with them.

Finally, not to be disliked.

Who should I thank?
Brigade secretary?Educated youth?Of course not.

She could see clearly that the only person who really helped and saved her was that one person.

As he thought about it, his eyes became a little moist.

Ji Yuanhai went home with a cloth bag, and saw Lu Heling again at the door.

She was sitting on the threshold, looking at the door frame, fascinated.

Following her gaze, Ji Yuanhai saw a large butterfly with gold rim and black wings, resting on the door frame.
