Sure enough, it didn't take long for a light rain to fall from the sky, and the rain fell to the earth like threads, like the sweat of a spring girl in a hurry, quietly moistening the fertile soil, and gently awakening the "sleeping" in the ground.

One by one, the "young dolls" quietly poked out their little heads, stretched their bodies, and enjoyed the bath. Their appearance dyed the entire earth green.

The spring rain is like a warm hand, caressing the tender baby like a mother, and lovingly caring for the green leaves in the mountains.

Mei Sanniang held Guitang in her arms and sat by the threshold, looking at the drizzle of rain. In the rain, a toad crawled out and stood in the rain with her belly bulging out.

When she was a child, she used to watch toads under the tiled eaves with her mother-in-law, as if it was a unique pleasure.

She never thought that one day she would be able to see this scene again.

Mei Sanniang stared at the toad carefully and saw that the round toad had two small eyeballs with its head tilted up and one of its legs stretched out, as if it was ready for battle.

Mei Xue asked curiously: "Mother, aren't toads cold?"

"Won't they get sick if they get caught in the rain?"

Mei Sanniang shook her head and made a gesture, "Shh, keep your voice down."

"Look."

Xueer followed her mother's gaze and saw many toads crawling out, and one of the toads was motionless, its small eyes turning non-stop. Suddenly, the toad's cheeks bulged. "Suddenly"

Jumping forward, a pest fell into its belly.

Xueer was shocked, she just saw the toad stick out its tongue.

So she shouted: "Mom, look, the toad's tongue is so long and pink."

Although the toad looks ugly, its long pink tongue is slightly cute.

Mei Sanniang didn't say anything. She was just like Xue'er before, as if she had never seen anything strange before.

That is the innocence of children towards the world, and everything becomes meaningful in their eyes.

The rain has not stopped, and it rains very long in March.

The most common animal at this time is that they can fly and dig holes.

When rain invades their territory, these animals will crawl out of their holes.

Mei Sanniang has always believed that they are afraid of being drowned by rain. These small insects are generally called "Tugouzi" in the countryside.

This little guy has sharp black fangs, but it doesn't hurt when it bites someone. It also has a pair of wings on its back, and its scientific name is "mole cricket."

When I was a child, I didn't have any toys to play with, so these small insects became toys.

Like grasshoppers and crickets, they cannot escape.

There are many ways to play with grasshoppers. Take a piece of dogtail grass, scurry into a bunch, and a bunch of grasshoppers take off.

If you are bored, you can also feed grasshoppers. After feeding the grasshoppers, turn them into chickens. In the eyes of chickens and ducks, grasshoppers are walking proteins. Every time a chicken pecks at a grasshopper, she feels that the grasshopper tastes crunchy.

Although grasshoppers can be eaten, she has no way of getting started with them. There are also common bamboo worms. Mei Sanniang has tasted that thing once, just the legs. She was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly and just put it to her mouth.

After licking it, I spit it out.

Because she tasted the whole bamboo insect with its legs, her parents scolded her severely after she spit it out.

She couldn't remember what she was scolding at that time, but it roughly meant a waste of food, saying that insects were nutritious.

Although people are highly intelligent, the matter of eating insects should not appear in Mei Sanniang's mind.

Insects such as "country dog" can actually be eaten, but some people are not used to eating them. It does not look like a dish either visually or in terms of taste.

There are few rare things that people in the city have seen. Some things can be said to be rare and valuable. If there are few, people will naturally regard them as treasures and rush to eat them.

Now commonly known as: "game."

Although wild game is delicious, once the biological chain is destroyed, it is likely to cause unbearable consequences.

Mice are certainly hateful, but every household has a cat, and it is natural for cats to catch mice.

In addition to cats eating mice, snakes will also eat mice in the field. In the cycle of cause and effect, eagles will eat snakes. Nature is so awesome.

"Xue'er, take the little bench and go inside, don't get cold."

Mei Sanniang carried Guitang into the house, and Mei Xue followed her obediently and pulled the two small benches on the ground into the house.

"How long will it continue to rain?" Mei Sanniang looked out the window and huddled up in the quilt. She was used to this on rainy days. In the past, this kind of weather was most suitable for curling up under the quilt and eating snacks.

, chasing the drama, and now everything is like a dream.

Obviously she still had a great time, but she could only spend the rest of her life in this countryside. Mei Sanniang suddenly felt a little dissatisfied, but what could she do despite this.

The children need her care, and the home needs her care.

She is the only one who does the most in this family. As an adult, she must be the backbone of the family.

"Ahem."

In the light rain, Mei Sanniang could hear the sound of rain hitting the stones, and suddenly there was the sound of coughing. She looked at Xue'er fearfully, thinking that Xue'er had a cold, so she asked eagerly: "Xue'er, I have a cold.

?”

It is easy to catch a cold on this light rainy day, and having another person in the family catch a cold will undoubtedly make the family worse.

Fortunately, it was not Xue'er. Xue'er responded: "Mom, it's not me, it's a child from outside."

Through the window, Mei Sanniang vaguely saw a little girl running against the rain. The girl ran very fast. She must have been hiding from the rain for a while. She never thought that the rain would not stop. As a result, the girl

I could only run home in the light rain.

Although the rain doesn't seem heavy, it falls so intensively that if you run in the rain for a short while, your hair and whole body will get wet.

"This girl is so brave, she actually dares to run in the rain."

"Xue'er, you can't do this in the future. This is the easiest way to catch a cold, especially for those with poor health. If you get caught in this rain, you won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half."

Mei Sanniang did not scare the children. The rain in the past two days really made them wet.

Otherwise, coughing can cough up the heart.

"You also heard someone coughing today. It sounds like it is not only disturbing others, but also making you uncomfortable."

"And when you get sick, you have to spend money. Not only do you spend money on medicine, but the medicine is also bitter. If you have that kind of money, you might as well buy some meat to eat. It will be more comfortable."

"Xue'er, do you still remember the barbecue and hot pot I mentioned before?"

Mei Xue nodded.

"Weather like this is the best time to eat spicy and hot food."

"For example, it's hot pot or barbecue."

Mei Xue has never seen it before, so she doesn’t know what it looks like, but Mei Sanniang can describe it, and even a child can imagine it.

"Mom, when can we have barbecue and hot pot?"

Mei Sanniang has long wanted to eat barbecue and hot pot, but it's a pity that there are no conditions in this country.

"When we have money, we can eat it ourselves."

Not to mention whether there is any seasoning, even if there is no seasoning, Mei Xue will be greedy for a while just because of the meat. As the saying goes, everything can be found in dreams.

Finally, when the rain stopped, it was almost dark.

Fortunately, they collected firewood and could warm themselves by the fire.

After the rain stopped, Xu Erzhu ran to Mei Sanniang's house as soon as possible.

The first thing Mei Sanniang did was to complain about Xu Erzhu.

"Why don't you come in and rub in the grass? Look at the dirt everywhere. I just cleaned the house."

Mei Sanniang looked at Xu Erzhu with a look of disgust. This was bad luck for eight lifetimes.

Fortunately, whatever Mei Sanniang said about Xu Erzhu, Xu Erzhu just laughed it off.

"Sanniang, I'll clean it up for you later."

"I'm here to ask for a drink of water."

Mei Sanniang was tough-mouthed, but she still poured a glass of hot water for Xu Erzhu.

Xu Erzhu took the hot water and drank it in big gulps. He was so rude that he didn't know how to test the water temperature. He choked and turned his head and coughed. Xu Erzhu coughed violently, so he blocked it with his hands.

When Mei Sanniang saw this, she thought Xu Erzhu had a cold, but she saw that his face was red, he was out of breath after coughing, and his eyes were full of mist.

"What's wrong? Are you sick? Did you get caught in the rain?"

Xu Erzhu quickly explained: "The water was too hot. I couldn't hold it for a while and choked."

"With my body, how can I catch a cold? Even if I do, I can just wrap myself in a quilt to cover my sweat and it will be fine."

"Sanniang, you, Xue'er, and Guitang don't catch a cold."

"On the way here, I saw many people with cough symptoms. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I came to take a look."

"Fortunately you are all at home."

Xu Erzhu's words caught Mei Sanniang's attention, and Mei Sanniang emphasized again: "Everyone is sick?"

"No, it's just that more people are coughing."
