Xin Qian put down the basket and wanted to catch the frog. Xin Yang hurriedly asked, "Second brother, what are you going to do?"
"Catch the frogs, of course." Xin Qian said. Then he pointed at the frog and said, "That's not a frog, this is a frog and they can be eaten!"
Xin Yang's face looked in disbelief, "second brother, I know that it is a frog. There are many in our village. In the summer, you can see frogs everywhere, especially next to holes. This Toad can't be caught, it's poisonous, if you catch it, it'll spray poisonous gas on you, let alone eat this thing, you'll be poisoned if you eat it! " When Xin Yang spoke, her face was serious, afraid that Xin Qian would not believe her.
"Yang-er, frogs can't be caught, but this is a different kind of frog. These frogs are like, um. they're similar but they're not the same thing."
"But sister, how do you know this is a frog? I've never heard anyone say frog!" xin Yang said still hesitating
Xin Qian smiled and said, "Since big brother knows so much, Yang-er, could it be that you don't believe in your second brother?"
Xin Yang looked at Xin Qian, as if he was thinking about her, thinking that Xin Qian had done too many things during this period of time, Xin Yang already had admiration for Xin Qian. Now, he chose to believe. “I trust second sister!”
“It's good. Then, you guys wait here I'll catch them.” Xin Qian said. Although these frogs were difficult to catch, to Xin Qian, they were still nothing. He had caught a lot of frogs when he was a child, and by this time he already had some skills. In a short time, Xin Qian caught six frogs. She was afraid that these frogs would jump, Xin Qian found a thin straw rope to tie the frogs' legs.
The two children still thought that the animal was just like a frog, so they were a little afraid to get close to Xin Qian. Xin Qian hung the frog using a straw rope and held it in her hands. If viewed from a distance, if you think it is a poisonous toad, the current Xin Qian would look a little scary.
Xin Yang looked at the frog in Xin Qian's hands and said, "Second brother, it looks like the frog...do not spray poisonous gas?"
Xin Qian smiled and said, "This is not a poisonous frog, this is different."
Xin Qian pointed to the frog in her hand and started explaining to Xin Yang how they were distinguished. "It's actually very simple, Yang-er, look. The skin of these frogs looks much smoother than that of frogs. The surface of the frog's skin has a small bulge on its body. Aren't you?"
Upon seeing it, Xin Yang nodded heavily, "Sister, that's right!"
"Now you must remember this difference, and the taste of this frog is delicious, even better than meat!" xin Qian said.
Xin Yang did not know much about delicious food, but when compared to meat, he knew right away. If this frog was even more delicious than meat, what would it taste like? So he couldn't wait to urge Xin Qian to come back and catch the frog.
“Girl Qian-er, where did you get a lot of fish?” An old woman appeared, it was Xin Qian's grandmother, Meng Shi, she was the wife of Xin Baozhu. The younger brother of Xin Qian's grandfather, Xin Baoshang.
In ancient times, people who had many brothers and sisters, in general they gradually separated their respective families. This Meng Shi was very similar to Huo Chunhua, they liked gossip the most. Upon seeing Xin Qian having so many fish, the pair of old eyes stared straight at the fish in the basket behind Xin Qian, as if wanting to get one.
“Driver.” Xin Qian replied faintly, she didn't really want to talk to Grandma Meng. The family had also never helped him in his past distress.
"On the river? Is that a river in our village? How can you catch so many? Do you have a special method? Tell me about it, next time I'll have your cousin fish there. "
"·······" Xin Qian fell silent, she didn't want to explain anything to Meng's grandmother, "I just caught her by getting into the river water myself, but grandma, you know, let me remind you that this fish is not something anyone can touch. You could have fallen into the water and drowned!"
Grandma Meng smiled wryly, "Forget it, it's so dangerous, I won't let your cousin go to the river. But girl Qian-er, since you have caught so many fish, it will rot quickly, and you won't be able to eat it at once right? you gave me some fish? I haven't eaten fish in a long time!" the way Grandma Meng spoke was completely disrespectful, like not asking but commanding Xin Qian.
Xin Qian was very uncomfortable listening to Grandma Mengs words. Why should he give her the fish he had earned so hard? This Meng grandmother had indeed often taken advantage of Xin Qian before, it was also the wrong timid temperament of Xin Qian first, and this Meng grandmother had truly become a habit.
Grandma Meng thought that Xin Qian would give it to her if she said it like this, after all, she was elder Xin Qian, so it would not hurt to give her respect. Moreover, Xin Qian had many fish in her hands. But Meng's grandmother did not expect at all, that Xin Qian refused.
"Grandmother, it wasn't easy for me to catch those fish, I caught them with great difficulty. Although, I can't afford to eat it all. Tomorrow, aya plans to sell them in the city. In the city, a kilogram of fish can be sold for three or four copper coins. You also know that it is not easy for a weak girl like me to stay with Xiao Chen, and I can only expect money from selling fish to buy food, otherwise, I can only expect money from selling fish, Xiao Chen and I will starve to death! " Xin Qian did not reject a word, but said pitifully.
After saying this, Xin Qian said again, "Grandmother, if you want to eat fish, then I will sell it at a market price. Or grandma could trade it for some vegetables, and I'll give you some fish! Don't blame me for being stingy, it's not easy for me. "
