Chapter 93: Picking up toads on a rainy day
The hand was suddenly held by Qu Weiyang, which made Qiao Lian's heart jump heavily, this was the first close contact between her and Qu Weiyang, inexplicably, Qiao Lian felt a little flustered.
Just wanted to withdraw his hand, but saw that Qu Weiyang had already bent down, pulled an unknown amount of grass from the side of the road, and kneaded it into a straw rope with his hands.
"You lift your feet, and I'll tie the straw rope to your shoes, so that you can walk a little better."
The surroundings were pitch black, Qu Weiyang didn't pay attention to Qiao Lian's expression, only paid attention to the indigo shoes on Qiao Lian's feet.
Qiao Lian raised her foot as she said, and Qu Weiyang used a straw rope to wrap the indigo shoes a few times, and tied them with a special method to tie the shoes firmly.
"You try, will it be better?" Qu Weiyang looked up at Qiao Lian and asked her to try to walk.
Qiao Lian took two steps forward, and sure enough, her left foot, which was tied with a straw rope, was not as slippery as before. "Well, it's much better, you still have a way."
Qu Weiyang smiled, lowered his head and rolled a lot of grass into a rope, and tied Qiaolian's other shoe in the same way.
"I also learned from others, there are a few veterans in the army, all of whom have participated in many battles, and they said that the conditions were poor before, and many times they wore straw sandals when they didn't have shoes to wear.
So when I'm idle, I also learn a little bit along with it, which is just right to deal with. ”
While speaking, Qu Weiyang tied up the other shoe, "Okay, it should be ready for use tonight, I'll take you to the county seat and buy you two pairs of better shoes." ”
Qu Weiyang had already noticed that Qiaolian was still wearing handmade cloth shoes, which were usually light and comfortable to wear, but when it rained, she was soaked all of a sudden.
As for the indigo shoes on Qiaolian's feet, although they are made of leather to release water, the bottom is too flat and not slippery.
Now there are already rubber shoes sold, the soldiers in the army wear rubber shoes, Qu Weiyang wears the same on his feet, although the supply and marketing cooperatives sell not so many shoes, but there are also some rubber shoes that look good.
Qu Weiyang has already thought about it, and when the time comes, he will buy two pairs of rubber shoes for Qiaolian to wear for her usual wear, and then buy a pair of good-looking leather shoes to wear when she goes out or attends any occasion.
"No need, cloth shoes are good to wear, I'm not used to wearing rubber shoes, don't buy them for me." When Qiao Lian heard this, she really didn't know what it was like for a while.
What does Qu Weiyang mean by this? Isn't he going to separate the two?
Now, Qiao Lian is also a little conflicted in her heart, I don't know whether she should divorce Qu Weiyang or not?
Don't leave, I feel sorry for myself, and there is nowhere to vent the grievances she has suffered over the years.
But if you really leave, I feel sorry for Qu Weiyang, people are throwing their heads and spilling blood outside, and they finally come back with a life, and their daughter-in-law has to divorce him, which is somewhat cruel.
Qiao Lian has been struggling these days and has been unable to make up her mind, but when she heard Qu Weiyang's words at this time, Qiao Lian could only be ruthless and decided to make it clear to Qu Weiyang.
"Qu Weiyang, it's been a few days since you came back, you promised me to consider our divorce before, how did you think about it?"
"Your vacation is almost over, right? In the past two days, can we settle this matter?
Go to Secretary Han and ask him to give a certificate to prove that the two of us have divorced and are no longer husband and wife. ”
Qiaolian's personality doesn't like to drag mud and water, since she can't take it back if she says it, she should divorce or divorce, as for what Qu Weiyang thinks, that's his business.
Qu Weiyang paused, he didn't expect Qiao Lian to mention the divorce again at this time.
Qiao Lian hadn't mentioned it before, and he thought that Qiao Lian had changed her mind. Qu Weiyang let out a long sigh and spit out the loss in his heart, with Qiaolian's personality, how could he not talk about it?
"Well, the holiday is indeed coming to an end, let's not talk about the divorce tonight, let's catch the toad first.
You see, there are toads jumping in front of you, so let's look at the front of you. ”
It turned out that the two of them were talking, not far from the river bank, and the flashlight shone in the distance, but didn't you see a small black dot, jumping in the rain?
was reminded by Qu Weiyang, Qiao Lian also noticed the situation ahead, "Oh, it's a lot, come on, let's catch the toad." ”
Maybe they happened to encounter a toad road, but there weren't a lot of toads jumping in front of them? Qiao Lian was overjoyed, and she couldn't care about getting involved in divorce or not, so let's talk about it first.
Although the flashlight in Qiaolian's hand looks similar to that at this time, there is actually a difference, and the light is relatively bright.
The light shone on the toad's body, and under the strong light, the toad, which was still jumping, suddenly stopped and remained motionless.
At this time, you just need to walk over and catch it directly, so it is called picking up toads.
It's simple, but for many women, it's not easy.
Because the toad is an amphibian, the skin is cold and slippery, and it doesn't feel very good to hold in the hand, and many people dare not catch it.
Of course, for Qiaolian, all this is not a problem, her character as a female man, let alone catching a toad, even if she is asked to catch a snake, it is no problem at all.
So when Qiaolian saw the toad, instead of screaming like some women, she ran over happily and grabbed it as if she had seen gold all over the ground.
Before Qiao Lian went out, she had already tied her pockets around her waist, leaving only a small opening.
Because she has a flashlight in her left hand and a toad in her right hand, she can't hold the pocket in her hand, she can only tie it around her waist, so that her movement is not hindered, and she can catch the toad and stuff it directly into her pocket, which is very convenient.
Qu Weiyang did the same way, and the two of them didn't care about talking at this time, and they were all engrossed in paying attention to the front.
As long as you see a toad jumping, you will directly shake it with a flashlight, and then run to catch it.
The rain was still falling, and this rain was falling unhurriedly, and the toads in the river were also coming ashore in a steady stream.
Nowadays, the ecological environment has not been destroyed, and there are more wild animals.
In addition, the way of catching is also simple, unlike the future generations will block the toad, and when you catch it, you will also catch the big and let go of the small, and you will not kill them all, so there are a lot of toads.
Qu Weiyang and Qiaolian didn't have to go too far, they just walked back and forth on the riverbank, and one after another the toads were caught in their pockets.
"Qu Weiyang, I grabbed an eldest mother's hug, such a big one." Qiao Lian raised her hand and asked Qu Weiyang to look at the big female toad in her hand.
Female toad is a name for the female toad in the Northeast, and the male toad will be called the male dog, and many outsiders don't understand what it is talking about.
The big mother hug in Qiao Lian's hand is indeed not small, it should be more than one or two, it is rare to see such a big mother hug, Qiao Lian is very happy, and deliberately shows off with Qu Weiyang.
"Well, it's quite big, anyway, you just need to make sure it's a toad, not a toad." Qu Weiyang deliberately scared Qiaolian.
The toad is the toad, and this thing also spends the winter in the river and will follow the toad ashore.
