Wen Xu held Zhuo Yiqing with one hand, and carried a basket in the other hand. He followed Dongliang out of the door just after he turned around and was about to bring it to the door when he heard the voice of Mr. Chi from behind him.

"Wen Xu, Xiao Zhuo, where are you two going?"

Zhuo Yiqing replied with a smile: "Mr. Chi, let's pick reed leaves and mowed mugwort. Do we want us to bring you some?"

When he heard that the two of them were going to get these two things, Mr. Chi quickly shook his hand: "You guys do it, I don't want it anymore. Since the morning, several groups of people have sent these things. My wife and I have to wash them for a few days when taking a bath with mugwort. You can just get your own."

"Okay!" Zhuo Yiqing said.

Mr. Chi asked again: "Wenxu, do you go to Xiao Zhuo's house during the holidays?"

"Yeah!" Wen Xu took the door and turned around and nodded at the old man.

"If you have time, help me find two books and go to Mingzhu's foreign language bookstore to see if there is any," Mr. Chi said as he took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Wen Xu.

Wen Xu took it and took a look. There were five or six books, with the English translation name below, and the author. After scanning the eyes of Wen Xu, he put the note in his pocket.

"Okay, I will definitely help you find it. There is nothing else. If not, we will get things. We have to go to Mingzhu in the afternoon." Wen Xu pointed at the coquettish Red Land Shoppinger at his door.

"It's okay! Go ahead and go busy." Mr. Chi waved his hand.

The two of them were about to go to the car when Teacher Ma hurried out and stood at the door of his own house and shouted to Mr. Chi: "Old man, didn't you say you wanted to build a melon rack? Follow Wen Xu to cut some reeds, so that you can't even go to other people's houses to cut green bamboos!"

Hearing Teacher Ma say this, Mr. Chi patted his forehead: "Oh, look, I forgot about this matter. Is there any place in the car? Take me, the old man!"

"Yes, yes! Just wait for you, old guest." Wen Xu waved to the old man with a smile.

Teacher Ma saw the three of them leaving, and then opened his mouth and said, "Old man, with a hatchet, do you cut the reeds with your head with your empty hands?"

Wen Xu smiled and shouted to Teacher Ma: "Teacher Ma, no need, I have a hatchet here."

Mr. Chi also pointed at Wen Xu and said loudly, "Is there any concern about this kind of thing with Wen Xu? His family is a tool library!"

When Teacher Ma heard the two of them say this, he turned around and wanted to go home, but before he turned around, he saw Xiao Dongliang running out, chasing Dongliang with his calf, and hurriedly took two steps, and pulled Xiao Dongliang back into the yard with his dog waist.

After driving into the car, Wen Xu walked directly around the pond at the entrance of the village, waded through the stream that had just emerged, and left the entrance of the village and crossed the bridge and headed towards Liyu Bay.

Mr. Chi asked curiously: "Aren't there reeds at the west end of the village? Why do you cross the bridge?"

Wen Xu said with great experience: "The reeds at the west end of the village are relatively small. The reeds there are at least one crop that is cut from the village nearly a year. They are far away from the original road into the mountain, and there are no people cutting them at all. Therefore, the leaves are big and the poles are thick, which is a good reed. Anyway, it doesn't matter if we have a car or a little far away."

The effect of reeds is quite good. Who doesn’t have many reed curtains in rural areas? It depends on this thing to dry a radish or something. It’s not a problem to just open the reed poles and weave a basket and a basket. Even the entire reed mat is only two or three days. For rural areas, reeds are almost all available.

Hearing Wen Xu say something, Mr. Chi nodded and stopped talking.

After passing Liyu Bay, I walked along the way to the village. After a while, I met a group of skinny children from the village on the road, carrying cages and carrying poles, and there were more than a dozen black seedlings.

Beep!

Wen Xu pressed the horn, stopped the car and asked the naughty kids, "What are you doing?"

"Fishing!"

Maodan, who was walking at the end, held his sister Mao Ya with one hand and held a bamboo cage in the other hand. Many people probably had never seen what a bamboo cage was, and thought it was made of bamboo. In fact, it was not. This thing was woven with reeds. The top of the four squares is a cylindrical mouth with a wide upper and narrow lower lower, which is specially used for fish in the countryside. When fishing, throw it into the river and put it in a fish, which can be used as a net bag.

Wen Xu said, "I know you are going fishing, but what's wrong? Can't stay in the village? Come here to fish?"

Da Leizi, who was walking in front, turned back at this time, walked to Wen Xu's car, looked up at Wen Xu and said, "Uncle, where are you going?"

"I'm going to walk forward!"

"Then you bring us with you!"

"Why are you doing this far fishing?" Wen Xu asked curiously.

Dalin said at this time: "The monkeys in the pond in the village are not allowed to fish. As long as there are fish coming up, the monkeys will reach out to ask for it. Yesterday, I fished for a whole morning and didn't fall down. They were taken away by the monkeys and threw them into the river. We really had no choice, so we came with Brother Dalei to fish without monkeys!"

After saying that, the boy took out something from his pocket that looked like a handkerchief, covered it up, blew his nose with a hissing, and then folded the handkerchief and put it back in his pocket.

"There are no monkeys here, you can just fish here!"

Wen Xu understood that now monkeys have almost become the dominant people in the village. Anything that seems to be "not right" in their eyes will ask you for something. And if they reach out for their hands once, they will be 20 or 30 yuan. This number is not the case for children, but also for adults in the village.

It is precisely because of the "strong" of the monkey group that the village is so clean and tidy now. The uncivilized phenomenon is almost extinct. Originally, when I left the village, I occasionally spit out phlegm, but once a good habit is developed, it becomes natural. Now, Dalinzi, the boy, knows that he has blown his nose and used a handkerchief. This is the beginning of civilization.

Dalei's eyes rolled and said, "There are not many fish here!"

Mr. Chi then stretched out his head from the car window, looked at Dalei and the monkeys with a smile and said, "If you want to take the car, you say you want to take the car, but you still want to take a bend with your uncle! Come up quickly."

Wen Xu realized it after hearing this, and smiled and said to Dalei and his children, "I have so many hearts!"

He opened the carriage while saying that.

Without Wen Xu getting off the car, the children immediately ran towards the back compartment. In less than two minutes, all ten children climbed into the car. The second row of the car was carrying the original small chairs in the back compartment, and the ground where the car was walking was full of small heads.

"Have you sat down?" Wen Xu got out of the car, walked to the back and took a look. Several small bamboo poles were stuck behind and couldn't close the car door at all. So he reached out and said, "Give me all the bamboo poles in his hand, and even grabbed this thing when he sat in the car!"

"Uncle, I just sat on the hook and the thread, and I spent more than ten yuan." Gou Shanzi was very precious and he spent a lot of money on his new "fishing rod" and refused to let go!

"If you don't let go, you run on the ground!"

Wen Xu glared at the boy and let go reluctantly. He put five or six poles in his arms and tied them with a small rope. Wen Xu tied all the fishing poles to the luggage rack at the bottom of the car, then returned to the car and drove the car to the destination.

With these kids, it was much more lively along the way. From time to time, there was a whisper from behind the car, and you squeezed into me. If you were going there, the kids would be together and give them a boat. These naughty kids would have to squeeze together, let alone a car.

After driving to the end of the road, Wen Xu stopped the car and looked at the flooded road ahead, and was a little stunned: "Is it flooded here?"

After this period of rain, the river water has soared and the rain has stopped now. Several rivers flowing out of the mountains have not subsided at all. Wenxu felt that the river water could not become what it was. In short, after Wenxu's tossing, the water resources in Wenjia Village have been enriched.

At this time, Dalei jumped out of the car like a little adult: "Uncle, it's already flooded here. Don't look at the road ahead, it seems that the road has risen again, and it's even deeper there. Last time, Uncle San tried it and it just went over."

The little thing said while reaching out to gesture.

Mr. Chi also got out of the car, looked at the reeds by the river and said, "Or why we are here, they are all reeds. I think this place is not bad, it's thick enough, just build a loofah rack."

When Dalei heard that Mr. Chi was building a frame, he turned his head curiously, looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa Chi, why are you building a frame at home and don't use bamboo? Why are you using reeds?"

"Your Grandpa Chi is not as thick-skinned as you. The bamboo belongs to others. I'm sorry to bother others," Wen Xu said.

Dalinzi also jumped out of the car at this time and opened his mouth and said, "There are wild bamboos over there, but no one, Grandpa Chi will cut them!"

When Mr. Chi heard this, he asked, "Where?"

A group of children stretched out their hands together and pointed to the hillside and said, although the hillside here was steep, they could still go up. And you could also see curved paths that people walked by, but there were too few people walking and were almost covered by the growing shrubs. There was no bamboo forest on the road, so I guess I could get the top of the mountain.

Mr. Chi looked at the mountain road, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's cut some reeds!"

"Grandpa Chi, you want you to say something!" Dalei patted his chest and said, "Let's chop you up!"

When Mr. Chi heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it! Good reeds, there is no weight anyway. My grandfather has planted them at the back of his house. I will be able to use bamboo next year."

Children can go, but the old man dared not let these skinny children cut bamboo for their own affairs on such a steep slope. It is one thing for children to play by themselves, and it is another thing for helping themselves do things. If there is any danger, the old man feels that he cannot bear this responsibility.

Wen Xu also understood the old man's meaning, and he couldn't get through anyway, so he patted the car door and said to Zhuo Yiqing and the children in the car: "Everyone gets down, you're here, there's no way ahead!"

When I heard that I had arrived at the place, it was like a little ducklings coming out of the nest. A group of naughty kids ran out of the car, and got out one by one and started asking Wen Xu for a pole.

After taking down the pole on the roof of the car, the naughty kids scattered and found some to fish. Mr. Wen Xu and Chi each took a firewood knife from the car and prepared to go down the river bank to cut reeds.

Wen Xu took the lead and walked carefully along the slope to the river. While walking, he stirred the small shrubs and wormwood in front with the hatchet in his hand.

"Why are you doing what you have to do to make hay?" Zhuo Yiqing stood on the road, looking at Wen Xu and asked with a mouthful of herding.

Wen Xu didn't look back: "Have you heard of an idiom? I'm alerting the snake. I'm going to prevent snakes from being caught in the grass. I'll step on it and get bitten by a snake in vain!"

"There are still snakes here?" Zhuo Yiqing asked.

"How fresh!" Wen Xu said that, he wanted to scare Zhuo Yiqing: "Be careful, follow me closely, don't be scared by snakes, and run into the river regardless of your butt!"

Zhuo Yiqing held the curb with one hand and reached the slope with one foot: "You are wrong about this. I am just afraid of lees and some disgusting things. I am not afraid of snakes now!"

While speaking, he walked down the warmth.

When they arrived by the water, Wen Xu and Mr. Chi began to pick up reeds and cut them, picking up thick reeds. They cut a few of them and moved them to the same place. In a short while, they cut about twenty of them.

Zhuo Yiqing is now responsible for carrying the cut reeds to the side of the road. Wen Xu will help you from time to time. The three of them cooperated well. They cut enough reeds in less than 20 minutes.

After chopping the reeds, the three of them returned to the road. Wen Xu changed the hatchet to gloves and started to beat the reed leaves.

"Be careful, don't pull all the leaves, take a look, don't pull all the insects on the leaves, and then wrap them in the palm, and eat them." Wen Xu looked at Zhuo Yiqing opposite him and pulled them to the side without even checking the leaves, and immediately said.

Zhuo Yiqing blinked her eyes and asked, "There are still insects eating reed leaves?"

"How fresh!" Wen Xu picked up a leaf beside his feet. The leaf had been half curled by the insects. The largest and widest part of the leaf had white insect wire wrapped around it. There was a gray-black and chubby insect in the middle.

"Hey, it's so disgusting!" Zhuo Yiqing immediately curled her lips and said when she saw what was in Wen Xu's hand.

Everyone was pulling leaves here, and they heard a child's surprise cry not far away: "Come on, come on!"

Wen Xu's attention was immediately attracted. Hearing the cheering sound of the naughty child, Wen Xu and the other two put down their work and walked quickly towards the direction where the sound came.

When Wen Xu ran over, he saw a group of children gathered next to a reed pond, jumping and screaming loudly!

When they walked behind the children, Mr. Chi and Mrs. Chi, Mr. Zhuo Yiqing and others carefully slid from the road to the water. Not to mention Mr. Chi and Mr. Zhuo Yiqing, even Wen Xu opened his eyes wide and looked at what he saw incredibly.
