Chapter 48 A Feast

"Oh, look at what you two said, don't let her go to heaven." Mrs. Sun said helplessly, "Zhao Xiuyun made such a public announcement, and everyone in the village knew about it. I was worried that those people would give my daughter

Get a reputation as a bitch"

"You can be aggressive if you are aggressive. If we, a good girl like Qing'er, are aggressive, people will rush for her," Guihua said disapprovingly.

Yang Ruoqing listened on the sidelines, smiling with her lips pursed, not feeling embarrassed at all.

There's nothing I can do about it, although my body is twelve years old, my heart is about the same age as Sun and Guihua.

After laughing for a while, Mrs. Sun said to Yang Ruoqing, "Thanks to your two aunts who came to help me dig the fields, there are not many left. Qing'er, you can go over there and play for a while, and don't come down."

"Hey, that's good." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile. The purpose of digging the fields this time was to prepare for planting wheat and rapeseed in two days.

Wheat seeds and rapeseed seeds were borrowed from Guihua and Dayun.

"Qing'er, if you feel bored, you can go dig loaches under the field ridge over there. The first two uncles dug up only half a catty," Aunt Dayun said.

Yang Ruoqing's eyebrows suddenly lit up. Yes, there were loaches hiding under the thick soil in the fields after the autumn harvest.

"Okay, then I'll try my luck." Yang Ruoqing responded cheerfully, picked up the small bamboo basket brought by Mrs. Sun next to her and rushed to the field ridge over there.

Today, her hair was combed smoothly, with two braids hanging down her back. When she walked, the two braids swayed gently, and she was full of air.

From behind, Guihua looked at Yang Ruoqing's running back and thought to herself that this girl is smart, capable, fierce and responsible. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her. Widow Zhao would have been blinded if her son wasn't three years younger than Qing'er.

, I really want to get married.

Yang Ruoqing arrived at the head of the field, rolled up her sleeves, and after looking around, started waving the hoe.

After a few hoe digs, the wet mud was dug up, revealing a small pit filled with water underneath. She threw the hoe aside and squatted down to dig out the mud with both hands.

The slippery loaches were pulled out of the mud and put into the small bamboo basket next to them.

These loaches are relatively small, even thinner than the little finger.

In her previous life, Yang Ruoqing would not have developed an appetite for them. They were too small and thin to hold down chopsticks.

But it’s different now. It has a meaty taste and is wild and pollution-free. It can be caught and stewed in soup to replenish Yang Huazhong’s health. Stir-fried with dried chili peppers, it is also an appetizer.

Yang Ruoqing dug with gusto. After a while, she dug almost all the fields in her two fields. There was a layer under the small bamboo basket.

She saw people digging in the fields next door, and it was not easy to dig in other people's fields, so she decided to dig in the small ditch at the head of the field.

She had dug all the way here and noticed that small bubbles would come out of these small ditches from time to time.

The water was not deep, and the inside was covered with withered yellow weeds and vines. Yang Ruoqing used the hoe handle to pick up the vines and withered grass, tilted her head and looked at the blurred crawling marks on the ditch wall, and followed the tracks to find the hidden holes nearby.

It's not winter yet, and snakes have not yet entered hibernation. Inside these holes may be eels, snakes, or crabs. More likely, some cunning snakes are occupying the eels and crabs' caves.

With her eyes rolling, Yang Ruoqing rolled up her sleeves to her shoulders in one breath, looked at one of the holes, leaned down, put her fingers in and started picking at it.

On one side, hold your breath and feel the movement from the end of your finger.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, her fingers twitched violently, and a snake as thick as a rolling pin was pulled out by her.

The autumn sunshine shone on the snake. The snake's body was grey-brown, with a faint line on its back. The snake's head was pinched tightly by Yang Ruoqing's fingers from its head down to its throat. It turned its head and spit out the bright red core.

It seemed that he wanted to bite her, but she grasped the spot just right, and the snake's head couldn't reach her arm at all.

As a result, the thick snake body wrapped around Yang Ruoqing's arm, circle after circle, as if it was a diamond bracelet that had been wrapped countless times for her. It was quite joyful.

"ah"

The Sun family over there screamed in fright when they saw this, and almost dropped the hoes in their hands to the ground.

"Mom, don't panic, this snake can't bite me." Yang Ruoqing turned around and smiled at the women over there who were so frightened that their faces turned pale.

He raised his other hand and pinched some part of the snake. The snake that had been entangled vigorously just now suddenly became limp, and its body drooped down like a hemp vine.

Yang Ruoqing's head was held in his hand, and his tail was dragged to the ground. Yang Ruoqing made a visual inspection. Good guy, he's almost one meter long. What a fat meal.

The three Suns over there hurried over, and no one dared to approach them. Sun took courage and asked Yang Ruoqing, "Qing'er, what are you doing catching this black snake?"

This snake is no stranger to the Sun family and they are often seen in ditches.

This kind of snake is not as poisonous as the red "Tui Po" found in rapeseed fields. The black snake is not poisonous, but it looks scary and people in the village generally don't dare to touch it.

If Mrs. Sun hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that her daughter dared to catch a snake.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said to Sun, "Of course I can catch it to make snake soup. This snake is so thick and long that it can stew a big pot."

"My God, even if it is dragon meat, I don't dare to handle it." Sun shook her head and said, Osmanthus fragrans and Dayun also looked fearful.

Yang Ruoqing laughed and patted her chest, "It's nothing, I'm not here."

On the way back to the village while carrying the black snake, Yang Ruoqing naturally attracted a group of adults and children chasing after her, and everyone was shocked.

When passing by the little boys who had always teased her in the past, Yang Ruoqing deliberately shook the snake in her hand a few times, scaring the little boys so much that they started crying on the spot and crawled into their mother's arms. There was a guy

I even peed my pants.

Yang Ruoqing laughed and walked straight into the house.

I took it to the house and showed it to Yang Huazhong. The man was also amazed.

"I ate this black snake a few years ago when I was helping a family on the other side of the mountain. It tasted so delicious, just like that old hen."

The man's face showed an expression of endless aftertaste.

Yang Ruoqing chuckled, "Dad, just wait, we will improve the food for the whole family tonight."

Yang Ruoqing came to the well in the yard and started to take care of the black snake. Mrs. Liu, Yang Huaming and Yang Huaming's two daughters who heard the news in the yard in front all gathered around to watch the fun.

Mrs. Liu and others also heard about Yang Ruoqing's recovery from madness, and they kept praising Yang Ruoqing for her ability.
