"It's dangerous near the water. You're not allowed to go there. Your brother still wants to read a book, so don't pester him." Wang Chunlan lost her face.

Wang Chunlan can't be said to favor boys over girls, but she does like to be more awake.

"It's okay. I don't have any summer homework after the high school entrance exam." Su Xing quickly finished the noodles in his mouth, "Mom, do you have any cables at home? Give me some and I'll remove the lobster."

When Su Ran heard that she wanted to remove the lobster, she immediately devoured it and put the noodles into her mouth.

No leftovers are allowed in the house, and you must eat as much as you can, otherwise you will be nagging all day long.

"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, it will take a while before you go." Su Xing said hurriedly, fearing that Su Ran would choke.

Su Ran drank the last bit of noodle soup, put down the bowl and hurried out again, staying by Su Xing's side, as if she was afraid that Su Xing wouldn't take her out.

"Are these threads enough?" Wang Chunlan took out a piece of wool about two meters long.

"It's not enough, we need to get more, at least four or five meters of thread." Su Xing thought it was not enough, "Su Ran, go find seven or eight wooden sticks, they should be stronger."

After taking the thread, a plastic bucket, and a small bench from home, Su Xing led Su Ran out of the village and picked up a yellow bamboo pole about two meters long and as thick as a thumb.

The rice has been harvested, leaving only the stubble about half a foot high, and the sound of frogs is heard one after another.

Su Xing stood on the edge of the field, listening to the long-lost croaking of frogs. He felt nostalgic, as if he was in a black and white nostalgic movie. In seven or eight years, this scene will only become a memory.

Due to the abuse of pesticides, frogs have become rare animals.

Snap.

With a crisp sound, the bamboo pole in Su Xing's hand fell quickly, and a white frog belly turned up in a clump of water plants beside the rice pole. Su Xing picked it up and threw it into the bucket.

Su Xing slowed down and searched the rice fields for the next target.

When we arrived at the river, there were already six frogs lying in the bucket. I woke up and said guilty, skillfully picked up a frog, pinched the skin of the frog's web with my nails, and then pulled it up to remove the skin.

Cut off the frog's head and skin, break off the two hind legs, take out the wool that had been cut and divided, tie one end to a wooden stick, and the other end to the frog's dismembered frog's legs and body, wake up and flick it,

The frog meat fell into the river, and the other end of the stick was inserted into the soil by the river.

"I want it too, I want to catch lobster too, give me one." Su Ran shouted from the side.

"Here, be careful, don't fall into the water." Su Xing quickly tied another lobster hook and gave it to Su Ran, "Just fish here, don't go too far."

Su Ran threw the bait into the river, holding the wooden stick in his hand and looking at the line expectantly.

Wake up and start tying the next bait.

"It's moving, brother, your thread has moved." Su Ran suddenly whispered, pointing excitedly at the lobster hook that he had put down just a short time after Su Xing.

Su Xing looked up and saw that the originally loose and weak wool was stretched straight and shaking violently.

Su Xing put down the thing in his hand and carefully pulled the thread before touching it. The thing under the water seemed to feel that someone was trying to snatch its food, and immediately increased the force, causing the thread to swing back and forth.

Su Xing let go of his hand, and after a second or two, he slowly pulled up the wool again, pulling and stopping, and his movements were very slow.

Gradually, the prey below appeared in Awake's sight.

A lobster with a red shell and large claws, with two thick and strong whiskers, holding the frog leg meat between its claws, and small claws clinging to it.

As if feeling the danger, the lobster's small claws loosened, but it seemed unwilling to let go of the delicious food in the mouth. The two large claws still held the meat.

Su Xing violently lifted the thread to the shore, and the lobster flew out of the water, his body soaring into the air. Only then did he realize the danger of releasing the frog meat that he had been thinking about for a long time.

Bang.

There was a sound and the lobster fell into the plastic bucket on the side.

"Let me see, let me see." Su Ran squatted beside the plastic bucket and looked happily at the lobster holding up its two big claws.

"Don't touch it, be careful with your hands." Su Xing reminded and continued making lobster hooks.

Su Xing made six lobster hooks in a row and placed them about one meter apart. There was still a lot of frog meat and some thread. It wasn’t that Su Xing didn’t want to make more lobster hooks, there were just too many lobsters.

I just put down one lobster hook, and another lobster was hooked, so Su Xing was too busy.

In just half a day, the plastic bucket was already a third full. Su Xing estimated that it weighed three to four kilograms, and all of them were red-shelled shrimps, with only a few green-skinned shrimps.

In fact, the meat of green-skinned shrimp is fatter, but its appearance is not as good as that of red-shelled lobster, and its popularity is not as good as that of red-shelled lobster.

Such results would be hard to imagine in a few years, but they are quite normal now.

If there was a net bag, Su Xing could catch two more pounds. Unfortunately, there is no net bag at home, and there is not even a canteen in the village. There are shops in the town, and there are also net bags for sale, but it takes half an hour to walk from home to the town.

Since there is no car at home, Su Xing can only catch lobsters in this purely manual way.

"I have to go to town tomorrow morning." Every time the lobster ran away, his heart ached when he woke up. That was money, and it was his tuition for school.

Seeing that the sun was getting hotter and the bucket was half full of lobsters, Su Xing was worried that if he piled them any more, the lobsters he had worked so hard to lift would be crushed to death, so he took Su Ran back.

"Mom, help me put all these lobsters away, and find me an old snakeskin bag. I want to use it." Su Xing put down the plastic bucket, ran into the kitchen, scooped up a ladle of cold water, and drank it all in one gulp. "The rice is ready."

Is it done yet?”

"It's cooked. Your dad hasn't come back yet." Wang Chunlan brought out a large plastic basin for washing clothes. "When you are hungry, eat first and leave him alone."

"Then I'll eat it first." The lobster hook was still placed in the grass by the river. Su Xing was worried that someone would pick it up and hurried away.

After serving two bowls of rice, Su Xing put the dishes for Su Ran, moved a stool, and put the bowls on the stool: "The sun is a bit strong, do you want to bask in the sun? How about you play at home in the afternoon?"

In August, the sun is very poisonous.

"No, I want to go fishing for lobsters together." Su Ran shook her head and insisted on following.

"Okay, then eat quickly. We'll go there after eating." Su Xing nodded.

After a quick lunch, Su Xing filled a pot of water with the military hot water bottle at home, which was brought back by his uncle Su Xing. He also took two straw hats, took the snakeskin bag Wang Chunlan helped find, and carried a plastic bucket.

Went to the river.

Pesticides have not spread yet. The river outside the village belongs to the collective. No one is contracting it. No one cares about fishing and lobster fishing. There are also people fishing for lobsters not far away. They are all children from the village. They are fishing and having fun. A time like Su Xing's

Very few hook six lobsters.

When the sun was about to go down, half of the lobsters were filled in the plastic bucket, and a lot of them were also put in the snakeskin bag. All the frog meat was used up, leaving only some bones on top. Su Xing rolled the wool around the wooden stick and used the lobster hook.

Stuffed it into a pile of grass and prepared to go back.

There were so many things, the plastic bucket and the lobster in the snakeskin bag weighed more than ten kilograms in total.

"Are you tired?" Su Xing asked Su Ran as he walked.

Su Ran was holding a small stool in her hands and a military hot water bottle that had been drained hung on her body. She followed Su Xing with her face flushed and covered with sweat.

"Not tired." Su Ran shook his head.

"Brother will buy you ice cream tomorrow, okay?" Su Xing said with a smile.

"Okay." Su Ran licked her lips.

After returning home, I woke up and found a puddle of lobster heads on the dung pile in front of the house.

The dung pile is not really a place where dung is piled. The garbage piles and domestic garbage from various rural households are thrown here. The lobster heads seem to have just been peeled off, and some are still struggling.

Su Xing had a premonition that something was wrong and hurriedly ran into the kitchen, where Su Changmin was cooking.
