Good Farming in Spring - C56

After chatting for a while, Lin Chunnuan felt that it was easy to pass the time. Not long after she walked, he could faintly make out a small river that was shimmering in the night because of the flowing water. The small river was not very wide, but it was more than 30 metres away.

“We’re here. Watch the two of them, don’t go into the river.”

Standing on the flat rock, his shoes couldn’t get wet, but the depth of the water could be easily filled with water. The design was very good, convenient, clean, practical, but he just didn’t know how much effort Dou Wang had put in to make these large rocks.

“Alright, let’s head back.”

After Dou Wang walked back from the stone stage with the water bucket, Lin Chunnuan quickly pulled Little Chun Xiao up and walked over to Dou Wang’s side. Little Chun Xiao, on the other hand, had gotten rid of her big sister’s hand.

“Chun Xiao, quickly let go. Wangzhige will be tired.”

If he brought this little guy along with him, it would be terrible. Lin Chunnuan quickly followed along and thought of his younger brother who would pull away from the bucket.

“Eh, what’s swimming?”

The height of the bucket Dou Wang was exactly where Chun Xiao was lying on the ground, exposing his small head. The little guy reached out to enter the bucket, but was held onto by Lin Chunnuan.

“Sister, look, there’s something swimming in the water.”

Lin Chunnuan thought that her brother was just spouting nonsense. The sky was already dark, how could she see it clearly? However, Lin Chunxiao continued to pull his sister’s hand and shake it, wanting to go to the barrel to see what was going on.

Just as Lin Chunnuan was about to speak, Dou Wangzhe had already put down the bucket and went over to see what Lin Chunxiao had said was swimming in the bucket. Then, he let out a light sigh.

“I have to go and get another bucket.”

“Shrimp?” It’s actually prawns? ”

This was really too high class, there were actually green shrimp in this river, in his previous life, the size of a live shrimp was around seventy to eighty-one kilograms, even if Lin Chunnuan liked to eat shrimp, he wouldn’t be willing to spend money to buy them.

“What’s this called?” Shrimp? “Green prawn?”

Dou Wang never knew that this little creature swimming in the river had a name.

“I thought it was just a strange little fish.”

Dou Wang was so weird, Lin Chunnuan felt that it was even weirder.

“Don’t you know him? “Don’t you know it’s a shrimp?”

In his previous life, this was something that everyone could recognize. Could it be that no one in this world could recognize it?

“Ever since I moved here, I could often see them swimming back and forth when I went to the river to draw water, but I was still young then, so I didn’t know what they were called. Although I grew up, I didn’t have much contact with the people in the village, and I didn’t know if there was such a thing in the river, nor did they recognize it.”

When he heard Dou Wang mention him when he was very young, he would come here to fetch water. At that time, there wouldn’t be this small stone platform by the river, and he didn’t know how Dou Wang could step into the water. It would be very dangerous then.

Lin Chunnuan could almost see a small child struggling to fetch water beside the river. Thinking of how a five-year-old child would need to live alone in this vast and empty plains with no signs of human life, Lin Chunnuan felt her heart ache and her lungs ache.

“You guys wait for me here. I’ll go and get another bucket.”

Dou Wang carried the bucket and was about to go get another bucket of water when Lin Chunnuan reached out and grabbed him.

“You get this shrimp.”

Seeing that Chun Wen seemed to like the green prawns, Dou Wang immediately reached out to grab the green prawns from the bucket and gave them to Chun Wen. He took out the kernels to wrap the prawns around them, and then, Dou Wang quickly carried the water back to the river and poured out another bucket. This time, there were no small animals in the water.

The weather had already turned completely dark, and the temperature had turned a little cold. The spring warmth froze Chun Jiao and Chun Jiao as they dragged the two of them and walked rather quickly. It was fortunate that there were no pits on the road.

“Mother, we are back.”

Returning to the front door of the small courtyard, Chun Jiao volunteered himself and rushed up to knock on the door. Although the little girl didn’t have much strength left, her voice was still very distant and clear.

Even Chun Jiao was shocked, he immediately ran to his sister’s side and held her hand. Warm Spring led the two little ones to the front door.

“Mother, we’re back. The door is open.”

Zhang Liu had already heard the voices of his children. She put on the last shirt and wrapped her hair in a cotton towel before putting one on her head and ran into the courtyard to open the door for the children.

“Come on, come on, don’t be in such a hurry. Mother will open the door now.”

When Zhang Liu pulled open the door, Lin Chunnuan brought her sister into the courtyard, and immediately allowed Dou Wang to bring in the water inside. Zhang Liu also rushed into the kitchen and opened the lid of the water jar, and helped Dou Wang pour the water into the water jar. The two buckets of water were only half full.

“I’ll go fetch more water. Auntie, help your little brother and sister bathe first. After locking the door, I’ll come back and knock on the door.”

In the past, when Dou Wang went out to fetch water, the house didn’t have to be closed anymore. But now, he couldn’t do it anymore. There were a lot of women and children, so he had to be careful.

“Alright, you should be careful too. After picking this bucket, don’t pick it. I can go pick it in the day. It’ll be enough for tomorrow morning.”

Zhang Liu also felt a little pity for this eleven year old child.

“I will go with Wangzhige.”

Lin Chunnuan still wanted to follow Dou Wang to go to the river, but Dou Wang didn’t allow him.

“It’s already dark. Don’t follow me. I’ll be back soon.”

“It’s just a wasted trip. Mother gave them both a bath, so it’s not my turn for a while. I have nothing to do at home, so let’s go.”

Actually, Dou Wang was quite willing to let Chun Wen accompany him. The two of them were even able to talk, but seeing that Chun Wen was insistent, they didn’t refuse anymore.

The two of them walked all the way to the river, and talked about how they were going to go up the mountain the next day. Without Chun Jiao and Chun Xiao, the two little fellows following them, they walked quite quickly.

“Wangzhige, wait a moment. Let’s fish up some green prawns first.

Lin Chunnuan acted very innocently, as if she liked this little thing and wanted to fish it up to play.

“It should be easy to get them. There aren’t many people coming and going by the river all the time, and I’m the only one coming and going. They’re not afraid of me, they just swim around every time I come.”

The stone platform was not big, so the two squatting down was a little crowded. Dou Wang carefully moved closer to the side of the stone platform to give Lin Chunnuan more space, before quickly reaching out with his hands to grab empty air. The green prawns quickly swam to the side of his hands.

“Looking at how unhappy he is, why can’t he catch me?”

Dou Wang once again stretched out his hand to grab them. After realizing that it was not easy to catch, he had no choice but to give up.

“Warm Spring, let’s catch them again in the future. They can’t be caught.”

To be able to catch a prawn with one’s hands, that was truly a miracle. The prawn was so stupid. No matter what, he was still a creature that lived in the water, and water was their home ground.

“You go get water, Wangzhige. Let me try.”

Seeing that there were a lot of prawns swimming around in the river, if there were any tools, it would probably not be a problem to fish for them, it was just that the tools were not in his hands right now. Lin Chunnuan gave the stone platform to Dou Wang, opened up his kernels, and set the green prawn inside aside.

Seeing that the spring was still warm and still without any movement, he walked towards the spring warmth. Suddenly, he saw Lin Chunnuan quickly lift up her handkerchief from the water and quickly took two steps back.

“Did you catch it?”

Looking at the warm spring air, Dou Wang guessed almost immediately and quickly took two steps forward to Lin Chunnuan’s side. Lin Chunnuan held up her handkerchief and saw that three of the green prawns were still wriggling inside, Lin Chunnuan grinned in satisfaction.
