Chapter 60
Qi Yuanyuan calmed down Guoguo's emotions, then continued to wash her clothes with her head down.

Half an hour later, the three of them locked the door, carried the jar containing earthworms (earth dragons), and the basket that Qi Yuanyuan had asked his eldest brother to make up a few days ago, and left the house.Not far away, Yan Yichen picked up Guoguo and walked towards Munshui River with Qi Yuanyuan one after the other.

"Oh, Yuanyuan, where are you going?" A familiar voice sounded from not far away.

Qi Yuanyuan stopped in her tracks, looked sideways, and saw that Widow Zhao was walking along Xiaomao Road. She was wearing a bright red cotton skirt from now on, and under her slender jade neck, a piece of breast was like creamy white jade, half-hidden and half-hidden. The waist is tied, but there is no grip, a pair of tall, moist and well-proportioned legs are exposed, and even the beautiful lotus feet are silently enchanting, sending out a seductive invitation.Seeing her attire, Qi Yuanyuan frowned unconsciously.Although the folk customs of the Dakang Dynasty were civilized, women's clothing styles are more similar to those of the Tang Dynasty.But a woman from a normal family would never wear a bare-breasted dress, let alone a bright red body.

"Hello, Aunt Zhao!" Qi Yuanyuan said with a smile. Although she didn't like it, she wouldn't show it, not to mention that Widow Zhao had helped her just now.

"Okay, Yuanyuan, where are you going to take your cousin?" Widow Zhao asked again with a smile all over her face. Although she was talking to Qi Yuanyuan, her winking eyes looked at him affectionately. Yan Yichen.

"Go to the field to find my elder brother and the others." Qi Yuanyuan replied, her brows furrowed deeper, and her dislike for Widow Zhao became even more distasteful. The little favor she had had before has disappeared. Regarding the matter of catching crabs, how much do their brothers and sisters know each other? A consensus has been reached long ago, and no outsiders will be told.This is not because they are stingy and want to eat alone, but because they are too lazy to explain. It is too difficult to change the villagers' perception of river crabs.She still remembers Grandma Sun's surprised expression when she saw her steaming crabs, and insisted on telling her to throw them away until she promised not to eat them, and after smashing them, she would save them for feeding chickens next year!She does have plans to catch a few chickens in the spring of next year and raise them.

"Your cousin is thin-skinned and tender-skinned. He looks like a scholar. How can he work as a farmer?" Widow Zhao said in a low voice with a concerned look.

Listening to Widow Zhao's description of Yan Yichen, Qi Yuanyuan couldn't help laughing. Using "fine skin and tender flesh" to describe a man is really, really ridiculous.Qi Yuanyuan couldn't help looking at Yan Yichen, and sure enough, Yan Yichen's usually cold and serious face was covered with gloom, and the coldness in his eyes made people feel cold.

Qi Yuanyuan suddenly became playful, and replied with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, my cousin has delicate skin and tender flesh, so naturally he doesn't know how to work in the field. We just go to the field to have a look, and we won't let my cousin do it." Live."

"Sister, Guoguo doesn't have thin skin and tender flesh, Guoguo can work." Guoguo suddenly came up with a magic knife, which made Yan Yichen's face even more gloomy, and without a word, he hugged Guoguo and left.

"Oh, that cousin Yuanyuan, don't go away, it's buried in the ground, just let Yuanyuan go and have a look, you go to sit at sister-in-law's house, don't all of you scholars like to drink the new tea bought by sister-in-law Tea!" Seeing Yan Yichen leaving, Widow Zhao suddenly panicked and shouted at Yan Yichen.

Although Qi Yuanyuan had some guesses about Widow Zhao's purpose, she was a little surprised when she heard her bold invitation. It was too bold. If the villagers knew about seducing men in the street, they would not have to drown her with saliva.

"Aunt Zhao, my cousin doesn't like to drink tea." Qi Yuanyuan said, she was worried that if Widow Zhao went on like this, Yan Yichen would be overwhelmed with anger, but she did not forget the night when they first met, his eyes The horror here.

"I don't like drinking tea. It's okay. Auntie bought some small apples at home, and the previous one fried some melon seeds." Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, then said again.

"Save it for Brother Shengzi to eat, Aunt Zhao, I'll go first!" After Qi Yuanyuan finished speaking, she trotted after Yan Yichen who had already walked a long way.

Yan Yichen glanced at Qi Yuanyuan who was following up, kept silent, continued to walk forward with a gloomy face.Seeing him like this, Qi Yuanyuan didn't mind, she followed happily, the corner of her mouth couldn't help being hooked, and she couldn't let herself laugh out loud after holding back.

"Laugh as much as you want!" Yan Yichen's dull voice came, filled with resentment.

"Hahaha..." Qi Yuanyuan laughed cheerfully, this was the first time she had smiled so heartily since she came here.Maybe it wasn't so funny, but she laughed, and she missed it so much.

"Hehehe..." Guoguo saw her sister laughing happily, even though she didn't know the reason, she also laughed along with her.

"I'm sorry, Brother Yan, I didn't laugh at you. Aunt Zhao is really too. How can you describe a man with thin skin and tender flesh." After laughing, Qi Yuanyuan explained to Yan Yichen in embarrassment.

"Have you laughed enough?" Yan Yichen asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Qi Yuanyuan couldn't figure it out for a moment.

"Let's go when you've laughed enough, it's going to rain." Yan Yichen said in a deep voice.

rain?Qi Yuanyuan looked up at the sky, the sky was high and the clouds were light, where did it look like it was raining?Qi Yuanyuan didn't believe it, but didn't say much, and followed Yan Yichen to quicken her pace with her basket in her arms.

When they reached the river, Qi Yuanyuan tied the earthworms to the bottom of the basket, asked Yan Yichen to help pull her body, and threw the basket into the water by herself.

"Okay, the rest is up to the volunteers to take the bait." Qi Yuanyuan clapped her hands and said, "The crabs are really fun. Once they get into the basket, they don't want to get out again. It's not that the basket has any mechanism, but Its companions won't let it out. If there is only one crab in the basket, it's easy to get out, but if there are too many crabs, it can't get out. If a group of crabs are in the basket, none of them can get out in the end.Because as long as one crab is about to climb to the top of the basket, other crabs will scramble to climb on the first crab, trying to use their strength to climb up. As a result, all the crabs fail and fall to the bottom of the basket. escaped successfully.It is somewhat similar to the story of "one monk has water to eat, but three monks have no water to eat".However, the brain system of the crabs is not well developed. Of course, it is not because of comparing with each other and dragging their feet, but because of their survival instinct, they want to get out quickly.

"Guoguo, don't get too close to the water, your feet will get cold if your shoes are wet." Qi Yuanyuan said to Guoguo who was running back and forth by the river.

"Sister, when can we catch crabs?" Guoguo asked impatiently.

"Soon, be patient, let's go, my sister will take you to find cattails to eat." Qi Yuanyuan said, holding Guoguo's little hand, and walked towards a patch of cattails not far away.Most of the cattails are old now, but there are also tender flowers that mature late. If you search carefully, you can find a few of them.
