Chapter 8 His face changed

Under the smoke and fire, seven or eight voles huddled together dizzy. Qin Lu's eyes shone, while Qin Tieniu's face changed slightly.

Field mouse, field mouse, he should have thought that this thing was no cuter than a mouse, so he took a step back from his squatting position.

"While we're all dizzy, let's finish the pot quickly. Lend me the iron cow jacket..."

Qin Lu rolled up her sleeves and geared up, eager to take this nest of worldly delicacies home right away.

As the saying goes, eat dried voles in the summer and live voles in the winter. Although this little thing is small, it is delicious, high in protein and nutritious. Qin Tieniu is just growing up, so he must take a good supplement!

Qin Tieniu stared straight at the vole, fearing that the little thing would suddenly wake up and hurt someone. The vole has a shorter tail, and smaller eyes and ears. It can only be said that it is a little prettier than a mouse, but not much.

…

He really didn't know why his wife wanted to bring back a nest of voles on a whim? Could she keep them as little pets?

"Um?"

Qin Tieniu's uncharacteristically slow movements caught Qin Lu's attention. She looked back and saw Qin Tieniu's face as if he was facing an enemy. She couldn't help but chuckle and joked: "We Tieniu are not afraid of such gadgets."

Bar?"

This provocation technique really worked. Seeing the crooked look on his wife's eyebrows, he immediately gained courage and took three steps at a time to squat in front of the field mouse.

"The little thing looks so cute. Why don't I keep one to relieve your boredom before dinner time?"

Qin Lu watched with her arms folded, not ready to help, and even deliberately teased Tieniu with her words. She just thought Tieniu's red face was rare and cute.

Qin Tieniu was about to reach out to the field mouse when he shook his hand hard. He originally thought it was just a funny gadget. After two days of keeping it, he might lose interest or run away.

I didn’t expect this to be the ingredient for the evening?! For a moment, Qin Tieniu’s face was a little colorful.

But at this time, one of the unconscious voles woke up in a daze and found himself being held in his hand. He immediately started struggling and squeaking.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law..."

Qin Tieniu was at a loss for a while, and the fear in his heart drove him to let go, but his wife just said that this was an ingredient, and even the poor family couldn't open the pot...

"Little field mouse, why are you so arrogant!"

Seeing that Qin Tieniu was really scared, Qin Lu stopped teasing her and hit the field mouse hard on the head.

"Do me a favor and spread your coats on the floor. We'll tie them in a knot and wrap them up."

Qin Tieniu blinked his eyes and cooperated obediently with Qin Lu's operations. Soon the whole nest of voles was beaten into a small bundle.

Qin Lu put the small bundle on her back and prepared to bury the stone.

"Daughter-in-law, how about I do it..."

Qin Tieniu couldn't bear the injustice of his own daughter-in-law, so he immediately wanted to do it for her.

Qin Lu felt warm in her heart. Even though Tieniu was a little stupid, it didn't stop him from being a warm-hearted man...

One person moved forward, the other turned around, and their breaths were similar for a moment, filling their arms with fragrance.

Qin Lu blinked her eyes, looking at Qin Tieniu's face so close, her heart skipped a beat.

And suddenly looking at Qin Lu's clear eyes, Qin Tieniu's clear stupidity had no time to disguise, he was sober like a normal person, and a suspicious blush slowly appeared on the base of his ears.

"Let's go on, finish the work early, and go home early. Just in time to bring the field mouse back to improve the food, Dad will probably be very happy..."

In the end, it was Qin Lu who took the lead to move her eyes away. She didn't forget to spit on herself in her heart. She has lived two lives, and no matter how handsome she is, she is still a child!

It’s more like being a younger brother to yourself!

Qin Tieniu didn't know what Qin Lu was thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, so he just nodded naively and stopped mentioning who would be the vole.

Qin Tieniu lives up to his name, and with his strength, the two of them dig and bury, and the match goes smoothly.

"Daughter-in-law...there seems to be something in the ground..."

Qin Tieniu's hoe went down and made a thin and crisp sound. There was soft soil in the field, so this sound was wrong.

"Hmm? Just come."

Qin Lu picked up stones one after another, originally intending to throw them into the pit, but the silvery white color of the soil made her stunned, and the stone in her hand almost hit the instep of her feet.

She blinked in disbelief. It seemed like broken silver, right? What kind of koi luck did she have?

"Shh, don't make it public, it's a secret..."

Qin Lu looked around, squatted down, dug out the broken silver from the soil, wiped it and hid it in her pocket.

It is obviously unreasonable to see broken silver in the field. It is better to keep a low profile for such a windfall.

"Okay, wife, I'm hungry..."

After hearing Qin Lu's words, Qin Tieniu obediently shut up and didn't ask anything even though he was curious inside.

As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach sang a few words in unison, and Qin Tieniu's face became even more embarrassed.

"Okay, I'm going back now, I'm worried. There's nothing wrong with this field. Just cover it with soil and we're going to go home and eat voles..."

Qin Lu threw the stone into the pit. After Qin Tieniu covered it with soil, he stepped over it a few times to make the soil firmer. Then she clapped her hands and prepared to go home.

The two of them walked side by side on the path home. The rice fields on the roadside were growing beautifully, and when the breeze blew, there was a faint fragrance of freshness.

Qin Lu's eyes fell idlely on the rice fields. The calm water was occasionally visited by water spiders or dragonflies, creating circles of ripples.

A string of bubbles caught Qin Lu's attention. She turned around and headed straight into the rice fields.

"Daughter-in-law, water, you feel wet and uncomfortable, I'll do it."

Seeing that Qin Lu wanted to get into the water, Qin Tieniu quickly reached out and pulled Qin Lu's clothes.

Although I don’t know what my wife’s ideas are, he can do the dirty work, and my wife only needs to direct from the side.

"There seem to be fish in the fields. The wild rice flower fish that have grown up eating aquatic plants, insects and rice flowers in the rice fields must be plump. Let's catch some and take them back for a taste before no one notices them..."

Standing closer to the rice fields, Qin Lu became more and more sure of her guess. She had good eyesight. What she just saw was definitely not an illusion. She had already seen the swaying fish tail!

When Qin Lu spoke, Qin Tieniu took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers and got into the water. One person was observing on the shore, and the other was standing still in the water.

"Southwest direction, steps two feet wide!"

Qin Lu was responsible for reporting the location, while Qin Tieniu was responsible for taking things by surprise. Soon there were several fat fish flapping along the roadside.

The two worked well together. When they returned, Qin Lu tore off some strips of cloth, wetted them and applied them to the fish's eyes.

There is a thread-like tissue in the optic nerve of a fish. As long as it leaves the water for a while, the thread-like tissue will break and the fish will die. This little trick is used to deceive the fish that it is still in the water.

Facing Qin Tieniu's inquiry, Qin Lu euphemistically said: Keep it fresh!

Although Qin Tieniu was confused by what he heard, he nodded frequently, with a hint of imperceptible endearment hidden in his silly smile.
