Xu Yunfei took the 100 yuan and went to the supermarket to buy some chips, biscuits, and other snacks.
When she got home, Han Tuo was cooking on the stove in the yard.
His courtyard was nearly an acre in size, and there were three red brick houses facing south.
This house was built with the help of the villagers after his family's accident.
The southwest corner of the courtyard was the toilet.
There was a pigsty behind the toilet.
The courtyard of an ordinary mountain village family was basically like this.
The pigs in the pigsty heard the noise and groaned loudly.
There was a brick stove under the east wall.
As long as it didn't rain or wind, Xu Yunfei usually used this stove to cook pig feed.
In the countryside, there were plenty of dry branches, crop straws, and other firewood as fuel. They were all free, and using them was cheaper than using gas or electricity.
"You came back just in time." "The fish are all ready. We're just waiting for you to cook them," said Han Tuo happily.”
His little black dog also wagged its tail to welcome him.
"Go to the front yard and call Xiao Yu over.”Xu Yunfei ordered and started to stew the fish with seasoning.
Xiao Ji didn't need to be instructed. He obediently dragged a small square table under the tree and then went to move a small stool.
Soon, a round-faced girl with big eyes, medium-length hair, and a little fat walked into the yard with Han Tuo.
She was Liu Xiaoyu, Xu Yunfei, and Han Tuo's childhood sweetheart.
"Ah, I'm in luck today. I heard that there's wild honey?”
Xiaoyu said as soon as she entered the courtyard.
Han Tuo eagerly entered the room and brought out the beehive that was cut into pieces and placed on a plate. He presented it to Xiao Yu like a treasure.
Xiao Yu stretched out two slender fingers and pinched a large piece before opening her mouth to bite it.
Golden honey spilled out from the corner of his mouth. It was extremely sweet.
"Is it very sweet?" Han Tuo asked.”
Xiao Yu stuck out her tongue to lick the honey at the corner of her mouth as she nodded and praised.
On the small square table, chips, biscuits, and the good girl were all placed on a plate. There was also a beehive, a total of four dishes.
Xiao Yu, Han Tuo, and Xiao Ji sat around the table, eating and chatting.
Xu Yunfei stewed the fish in the pot and began to make pancakes.
The fish was cooked and the pancakes were ready.
It was served hot on the table.
The four of them cheered and ate heartily.
The courtyard was filled with peace.
It was summer vacation, and Xu Yunfei and Han Tuo had nothing to do in the afternoon. They planned to go to the field to dig for field mice.
Xiao Yu had to go to the fields to pluck the sweet potato seedlings, so she did not go with them.
After dinner, Xu Yunfei and Han Tuo carried a shovel and a woven bag, leading Xiao Ji out of the door.
……
The sky was blue and the clouds were white. The morning breeze was refreshing, and the fields were green.
Not far away in the northwest direction, there were towering green mountains.
The small village at the foot of the mountain was quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, cocks crowed and dogs barked, giving people the feeling that it was a paradise.
In a wheat field that had just been harvested, Xu Yunfei and Han Tuo were sweating profusely as they tried their best to dig a vole hole.
Little Ji's arm was wrapped around Little Black's neck as he watched intently from the side.
"Ah, he ran away, he ran away. Little Black, quickly chase after him!”The two youths suddenly shouted at the same time.
A fat vole jumped out of the hole.
Xu Yunfei and Han Tuo waved the iron shovel and wooden stick in their hands and shouted at the black dog to chase after the vole.
They did not chase far when they heard the sound of crying coming from behind.
Xu Yunfei hurriedly stopped and looked back. It turned out that when Xiao Ji was chasing after him, he accidentally tripped on the ridge and fell into the small canal used for irrigation.
Xu Yunfei quickly ran over and picked up Xiao Ji. He patted the dirt off her body and coaxed his sister,""Little Ji, don't cry!"
Fortunately, the canal was not hardened with bricks and cement, and there was no water. It was just a shallow ditch dug by a shovel. Although it hurt a lot, it was not injured. Children in the countryside were not so delicate. Xiao Ji cried a few times and stopped crying.
The voles scurried very quickly and slipped into the paddy field at the bottom of the slope. Han Tuo looked helplessly at the dense rice seedlings and said,""Consider yourself lucky!"
"Did Little Ji hurt from the fall?" Han Tuofan came back and asked Xiao Ji while bending over.
"It doesn't hurt, brother. Did you catch Voley?”Xiao Ji wiped his tears and reached out his little hand to Han Tuo.
Han Tuo clapped his hands and said," Voley ran away, but it doesn't matter. Wait for me to catch him for you again. This time, I must catch a big one!"”
As he spoke, Han Tuo jumped into the hole they had just dug and continued digging.
The soil in the field was very soft, so it was not difficult to dig.
He continued to dig down the vole hole. As he dug, one hole suddenly split into two holes.
Judging from the angle of the cave entrance, it should lead to different directions.
"Which one should we dig?" Han Tuo pointed at the two holes, feeling troubled.
"Come up, I'll go down and take a look."
Xu Yunfei bent over and stared at the hole. He reached out and pulled Han Tuo up. He jumped into the pit and carefully examined the two holes.
"This vole is too cunning. It deliberately dug two holes. One of the two holes must be fake. If we dig the wrong hole, it will be a waste of effort.”Xu Yunfei said.
"How cunning. Which one should we poach?”Han Tuo scratched his head and asked.
Xu Yunfei put his finger into the hole and said,""I know which hole is real!”
"Ah, is that so? Which one was real? Tell me quickly." Han Tuo urged.
" The hole on the left is rough, the hole on the right is smooth…"
The impatient Han Tuo didn't wait for Xu Yunfei to finish. He jumped into the hole and put his finger into the hole." If that's the case, I know. This smooth hole means that the voles often come in and out. Then this hole must be real!"”
As he spoke, Han Tuo picked up his shovel and was about to attack.
Xu Yunfei quickly stopped him and said,"Take a break. I'll dig!"”
Just like that, the two of them took turns to dig the hole. The hole dug deeper and deeper, and the two of them were covered in sweat.
