Chapter 197 Game in the Field

Chapter 197 Game in the Field

The sun is as scorching as fire, burning the earth, and the sunlight seems to melt everything.

Sweating like rain is not an exaggeration, but an objective description. Lin Zisu quickly pulled up a corner of the handkerchief hanging around her neck and wiped away the sweat that was about to enter her eyes. When sweat flows into the eyes, the eyes will be irritated by the sweat, which is very uncomfortable.

The clothes on my body were soaked with sweat, and then dried by the sun, turning wet and dry again.

Lin Zisu straightened up, sighed, and looked at the endless fields. All she could see was brilliant golden color, a fiery color, and everything seemed to be on fire.

Farmers who work in the fields have such hard work!

It is noon and I am hoeing the field. Sweat drips to the ground. Who knows that every grain of rice on the table is the result of hard work?

This poem, which even elementary school students can learn, fully demonstrates the difficulties of farming. It is so realistic.

When Li Jun and Chen Huiqin were young, they worked in the fields, planting rice seedlings, threshing grain, growing vegetables, watering and fertilizing. Later, they went out to study and work and never did it again. Li Ai and Li Hao have never done farm work, but they go back to their hometown in the countryside every summer vacation to pick mushrooms, walnuts, and wild fruits, swim in the river to catch crabs, snails, loaches, and eels. After a crazy summer vacation, they don’t want to go back to the city when school starts in September.

Their current bodies' original bodies, Lin Youcai, did some farm work when he was a child, while Shen Xianglan, Lin Xianwen, and Lin Zisu had never worked in the fields. The year the two siblings were abducted to Ancheng, they worked as errand boys in the family's mansion.

Everyone working in the rice fields took off their straw sandals and went barefoot into the fields to harvest the rice.

Because the water in the rice fields had been drained away when we were catching rice fish some time ago, the mud in the fields had not completely dried up. In some places, you could step into the field without sinking, but in other places, you would sink directly into the mud and have to pull your feet out as you walked.

When Lin Zisu, who was standing there to rest for a while, stepped forward, she stepped into the mud. She used too much force and her foot sank a little deep.

"Ah! Ah!" The touch from the sole of her foot made her scalp numb instantly, and she quickly pulled her foot out. She looked down at the hole made by her foot and saw a golden tail sliding into the mud.

"What's going on?!" Lin Xianpeng was carrying a large bundle of rice to the thresher, which was closest to her. Hearing Lin Zisu's scream, he dropped the rice in fright and took two steps over.

He only saw Lin Zisu throw his hands down, groping around in the mud, and then digging the mud pit frantically with both hands.

Lin Xianwen rushed over and saw his sister's actions. He was shocked and said, "Oh my god, what are you doing? Did you find gold?"

Lin Youcai stood up and shouted, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xianwen: “It’s okay!!”

"Hahahahahahahaha!!!! I caught it!" Lin Zisu's arms were covered in mud, and she was holding a two-finger-thick eel tightly in her hands.

Lin Xianwen stared at his sister's actions in amazement and gave her a thumbs up, "This female warrior, you are so brave!!"

The eel twisted and struggled wildly in Lin Zisu's hands, its golden tail swinging back and forth!

Lin Qiuyue just walked up to her side, and a "snake" moved around in front of her eyes, "Ahhhhhhhh!!! Snake!!! Snake! Throw it away!!!"

Lin Xianpeng snatched the eel from Lin Zisu's hand and threw it into the field!

Lin Xiancheng picked up a carrying pole and rushed over. Lin Xianpeng threw the "snake" in his hand into the field and asked his brother to smash its head with the carrying pole.

"There's a snake? ! Where is the snake?" Lin Youcai rushed over with a sickle, and others also hurried over!

Old Lady Wang: "What the hell is this? It's shit yellow, and there are no scales on it."

Lin Zisu stared blankly at the eel with its head smashed on the ground: "... This is not a snake..."

Lin Youcai walked over and looked at the eels on the ground, and heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me! This is an eel! Oh, I forgot about these good things in the field!"

Shen Xianglan took off her mask, wiped her face with a handkerchief and said, "By the way, you kids can dig loaches and eels, and have more meat dishes for dinner."

Lin Youcai: "In the north, you mostly grow wheat, millet, and beans, all on dry land. In the south, there are paddy fields, and in the semi-wet fields there are loaches, eels, and snails."

Lin Zisu: "And frogs, we can eat frogs too!"

Lin Youfu: "Frogs are in the north, we catch them and eat them too!"

"Many kinds of frogs can be eaten, and frogs are delicious!" Lin Youcai said, smacking his lips.

"I'll go get the bucket!" Lin Zisu said and ran towards the road.

She rubbed her hands on her clothes, opened the car door, and took out two wooden buckets. She took out two small hoes and a small rake from the tool drawer, threw them into the wooden buckets, closed the car door, and struggled to carry the two large buckets to the field.

When she walked back to the field, she saw her father instructing Lin Youpeng and others to dig loaches.

Lin Youcai: "Look at the holes. There are finger-sized holes on the mud. Those holes are made by them." Lin Youcai pointed at the large and small holes on the mud surface and said, "If you dig towards the holes, you will definitely find them!"

Lin Xianhe: "Ah! I found it!"

Lin Xianwen: "Quickly bring a bucket! I can't hold on any longer!"

Lin Zisu hurried to the fields, and everyone threw the loaches in their hands into the bucket.

Lin Cuihe looked at the loaches jumping in the bucket and asked, "Should I cover it with something? Will it jump out?"

“When there’s more, stuff some straw in to cover it.” Lin Youfu took a look into the bucket and smiled. It felt like he had found something for free!

"I've only caught these things in rivers and ponds before, but I never thought I could dig fish out of the fields!" Old man Lin smiled as he smoked his pipe.

Lin Youcai: "Only fields with water can have it!"

Old Lady Wang: "Children, go fish, go harvest the rice, don't just stand here and watch, it's getting dark." Old Lady Wang looked at the loaches in the bucket and urged her son and daughter-in-law to harvest the rice. They should finish harvesting as soon as possible and rest as soon as possible.

Lin Xiatao stepped on something round and hard. She reached down and picked it up, then wiped off the mud. "There are snails in the field!"

Lin Xianwan: "There are fish in the fields, so how could there be no snails!"

Lin Zisu: "Throw the snails in the bucket, too. Collect a bucket and make snail soup!"

Lin Xianpeng: "The meat of this thing is hard to chew and smells fishy. It's not tasty!"

"That's because grandma and mom can't cook it. Only Fourth Uncle can cook it. It must be delicious!" Lin Xiatao said, happily throwing the snails into the bucket.

Lin Xianwen wielded a small hoe to dig the mud, while Lin Zisu was responsible for picking up loaches. Another small hoe and a small rake were used by Lin Xianpeng and Lin Xiancheng to dig the mud, and others picked up the mud and threw it into a bucket. It was faster to dig in the muddier places by hand, and a bunch of children from the Lin family were concentrating on catching loaches.

When catching fish, the sun is no longer shining, people no longer feel hot, their waists no longer hurt, their legs no longer feel numb, and their whole body feels full of endless energy.

At 18: in the afternoon, the two wooden barrels were filled to the brim and covered with straw. Lin Zisu and Lin Xiatao carried a large bag of loaches in their clothes back to the RV, while Lin Youfu and Lin Yougui put the two full wooden barrels of game into the car.

Lin Zisu took out the bag with one hand, "Uncle, pull the bag off!"

Lin Youfu opened the bag, and Lin Zisu and Lin Xiatao carefully poured the loaches in their pockets into it.

Lin Zisu looked at the mud on herself and didn't care anymore. The car seats were made of leather anyway and could be cleaned by wiping them.

Lin Youfu and Lin Yougui got off the car and continued to work, while Lin Zisu, Lin Xiatao and Lin Cuihe went home to cook dinner and brought it over after it was ready.

After dark, staff from the Ministry of Agriculture will come to the fields and turn on the headlights, and everyone will be busy until 22 p.m. before going home to rest.
