Back to 78: My Leisurely Country Life

"Dad is back!"

""Daddy is back!"

When He Qiang brought Old Lady He back to the old house, he was treated like a hero returning from a triumphant battle.

The cheers that came one after another were all to welcome the children's beloved daddy!

There was no other way. A group of children heard about making loquat paste in the afternoon. Even though they knew it was from Daddy's house, they couldn't bring it home, but at least they could have some to eat!

He Tiantian stood in the crowd, like a proud little princess.

Who made such a popular person be his own father?

After He Qiang helped Old Lady He back to the yard, he directly hugged He Tiantian and kissed her:

"Niuniu, have you been good today?"

"Yes! Mom said Niuniu is a good child!"

"Good boy! Dad will bring you other fruits later!"

"Dad is so awesome! I love Dad the most!"

Wu Shuhua, who was moving the seasonings nearby, was a little jealous."

You only know how to like your dad!"

But soon He Tiantian couldn't stay any longer.

There was a fragrance coming from the kitchen, and Wu Shuhua had already started to boil loquat paste.

A group of little ones rushed into the kitchen, staring at the big pot eagerly.

He Qiang was thinking about what to eat tonight. He was reborn and had a golden finger, so it was really unreasonable not to eat meat every meal.

Looking at the sky, He Qiang's heart began to stir again.

It would definitely be too late to go to the mountains to catch things now.

But living in a small village in the mountains, how could there be no place to find food?

"Grandma, I'm going to the fields to catch some frogs. I'll be back later."

"Go ahead, be careful of leeches and bugs in the fields, it's not pleasant to be bitten"

"Got it."

He Qiang returned to the house, found a scoop net, took a fish basket and prepared to go to the fields.

Summer is the breeding season for frogs, and they croak and make endless noises at night.

There are a lot of these things in their village, but they are very flexible and difficult to catch.

The main reason is that it is the busy farming season now, and the young and strong are exhausted from working every day, so how can they have the mood to care about the two taels of meat?

But He Qiang doesn't have to work, and he has supernatural powers, so he is the frog nemesis!

However, as soon as he walked out of the door, He Qiang was blocked by a group of little ones.

"Dad, Dad, I want to catch frogs too!"

"Dad, please take me with you!"

""Dad, dad!"

How could He Qiang dare to agree?

He left a group of children with Old Lady He because he didn't want them to go out to play in the fields and get into trouble.

Even if nothing happened, if he let these kids go out to play, they would all be covered in mud when they got home!

He Qiang didn't want to be scolded by his sisters-in-law.

""Be obedient, or I won't take you to pick loquats tomorrow!"

The little ones immediately became obedient.

There is no point in catching frogs, but you can eat loquats on the spot!

The little ones are very smart.

……

"Are you going to catch fish again?"

He Yongjun, who was planting sweet potato seedlings, saw his son and stood up to ask.

He Qiang pointed to the paddy field next to him and said,"I'm going to catch some frogs in the field to eat."

He Yongjun's forehead veins jumped and he yelled,"You'll have nothing to eat if the rice is ruined by you. Go home if you have nothing to do!"

He Qiang pouted and said,"I'm not that stupid. You just do your thing. We'll have stir-fried frogs tonight!"

"Eat shit, I’m telling you this only because you stepped on the rice!"

He Yongjun had a dark face, the more he looked at this prodigal son, the more he disliked him!

"Well, if you don't want to eat, forget it."

He Qiang shrugged and walked straight along the edge of the field.

He hadn't used his supernatural powers all day, so the energy he had stored was enough for him to eat it up.

"Wow, there are quite a few hiding in the fields!"

He Qiang was delighted.

Although the frogs hide in holes during the day, as long as there are plants, they cannot escape He Qiang's perception.

"Not to mention, there are quite a few things here."

He Qiang touched his chin and found that there were still quite a few crayfish.

This thing is a real pest in this era. It is more hated than sparrows.

Because crayfish dig holes in paddy fields and eat rice seedlings.

These two things are the lifeblood of farmers.

There are not many pesticides these days, and they are just artificial pest control. Catch the crayfish and kill them directly, then take them back and chop them up to feed poultry.

It was only later that crayfish became popular in the market, and farmers' perception of it improved.

Otherwise, they would even want to buy medicine to kill crayfish directly.

In this era of 1978, no one eats crayfish, and no one is willing to use that oil!

But He Qiang doesn't think so. This thing is simply a seafood tailor-made for him!

Looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention, He Qiang began to act.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the rice fields!

Under the water, the roots of rice and weeds immediately firmly grasped their respective targets.

At the same time, because of the struggle of these targets, the paddy fields continued to splash.

He Qiang copied The net bag was constantly being pushed into the field, and every time it was lifted, at least two or three crayfish would enter the net!

He Yongjun soon lost interest when he saw his son fiddling with the scoop net in the field.

As long as he didn't go into the water and ruin the rice, he didn't bother to care.

But He Yongjun was still very confused.

With He Qiang's attitude, how could he catch any frogs?

But the many fish and shrimps his son caught the day before yesterday made He Yongjun puzzled. How did this kid get so many?

He Yongjun couldn't figure it out, so he continued to work hard.

On He Qiang's side, he searched a bunch of big enough crayfish from several paddy fields at home in a short time, and he even deliberately ignored the small ones.

He estimated that there were at least two kilograms of crayfish in the fish basket.

Even though they were repeatedly removed, there were still so many of them stubbornly surviving in the field.

If they were not taken care of at ordinary times, I couldn't imagine how many there would be in the field.

But this is just a thought.

If the crayfish are allowed to grow in the field, it will not be able to lock water, and the rice will die.

���If Qiang dared to ask He Yongjun to leave the crayfish alone, he would probably be beaten. Old Mrs. He would not care about that kind of

"Well, there are not many frogs, only five. Let's pretend to catch them first and then catch them slowly."

Just like that, after pretending for a long time, He Qiang finished his work with satisfaction.

"After all this time, what did you catch?"

He Yongjun couldn't help his curiosity.

He Qiang opened the fish basket and handed it to him.

He Yongjun took a look and took a deep breath.

"Why did you catch so many crayfish?"

He Qiang said nonsensically,"I just caught them. I can feed them to the chickens and pigs."

He Yongjun said nothing, pointing to the seven or eight frogs huddled together inside.

"Did you catch fish just like that? You caught them so easily?"

He Qiang said confidently,"How is that possible! I spent a long time in the river before I caught those fish. How could it be so easy?"

He Yongjun felt a pain in his liver.

How could you catch so many fish if it wasn't easy?

"You say you are so capable, why didn't you bring food home before?"

He Yongjun couldn't help but said sourly.

This kid caught so many frogs in such a short time, it's absurd!

"I used to play around, but now I support my family!"

He Qiang straightened his back with a righteous look on his face. He

Yongjun's eyelids twitched when he heard this:"Okay, get out of here! Take the food back and fry it early. Remember to use less oil. You are the only one who knows how to eat. How can my family's wealth withstand your waste!"

He Qiang said proudly:"Dad, you supported me in the first half of my life. Now, it's my turn to support you. Today, I got a pound of oil in exchange for that chicken. From now on, we will use oil for every meal when we cook. I say!"

He Yongjun was not happy when he heard what He Qiang said. Instead, he frowned:"Even the landlord's family can't stand you eating like this. If you want me to live two more years, you should be less extravagant. Do you think we have mountains of gold and silver at home!"

Hey, you don't say it, it really does!

At least 70% to 80% of the mountains and forests in this area are undeveloped, and they are all waiting for his visit!
