After lunch, both Li Mao and Zhang Meng were full.

Shen Qiuqiu looked through the medicine box and found that there were no stomach and digestive tablets at home, so he could only take them for a walk in the village to relieve diarrhea.

The three of them were walking on a country road.

In the distance are endless rice fields, a breeze blows by, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of rice, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Zhang Meng took a deep breath. At this moment, she forgot about the troubles of life and the pressure of work. She felt a peace that she had never experienced before, and her whole body felt relaxed.

She turned to Shen Qiuqiu and said, "I suddenly understand you."

Shen Qiuqiu looked at her in confusion, and Zhang Meng explained with a smile: "I understand why you suddenly decided to go back to your hometown. Before you came, I was worried that you were in a bad mood and depressed.

When I came here, I realized that I had worried for nothing. You have a home, relatives, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and you are far away from the hustle and bustle outside. Qinghe Village is your paradise and safe haven."

Li Mao nodded in agreement, "I like it here too.

There is a small yard, a fence is built to grow flowers and vegetables, and a few chickens, ducks and a watchdog are fed...

This is the retirement life I dream of, full of firewood, rice, oil and salt, plain and warm.

What should I do? I suddenly feel a little envious of you."

Shen Qiuqiu was amused by her, and just as she was about to speak, she ran into Shen Jiashu.

Shen Jiashu changed into old clothes and carried a net, a ground cage and a bucket in his hands.

Li Mao greeted him warmly, "Brother, what are you going to do?"

Shen Jiashu raised the thing in his hand and said, "Go down to the river to catch fish. Grandma said she would make pickled fish for you to eat tonight."

When I heard about pickled fish, the foodie who had just finished eating became greedy again.

Then Li Mao took Shen Qiuqiu and Zhang Meng to go fishing with Shen Jiashu.

The small river Shen Jiashu mentioned is actually a stream flowing down from the mountain.

The stream is crystal clear, and there is a thick layer of pebbles on the stream bottom and river beach.

Li Mao looked down and happened to see a small fish as thick as her thumb. She screamed excitedly.

"Wow, there are really fish! Brother, brother, hurry up, hurry up."

She screamed too loudly, and the little fish swooped away and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The expression on Li Mao's face instantly changed from excitement to frustration. Shen Jiashu smiled and comforted her, "Sister Li Mao, there are a lot of fish in this creek. Don't worry, I will definitely let you eat pickled fish tonight."

After saying that, Shen Jiashu took the ground cage and went upstream.

Shen Qiuqiu rolled up her trouser legs and went down to the stream with the net.

I found a narrow place in the stream to lower the net, and picked up a few large pebbles to plug the holes on both sides and fix the net.

Zhang Meng is a girl who grew up in the city. She has never seen this kind of fishing method, so she asked curiously: "What is this for?"

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and replied: "Keep the net and wait for the fish."

After a while, Shen Jiashu walked down the stream upstream.

As he walked, he stirred the stream water. The purpose of this was to drive the fish downstream.

When Shen Jiashu came closer, Shen Qiuqiu quickly picked up the net with quick eyes and hands.

The small fish in the net pocket jumped a few times, which indicated that the net was successful.

The siblings often went to this creek to catch fish when they were young, and they cooperated very well.

Li Mao shouted in surprise, "Wow, there are fish, there are fish."

Zhang Meng quickly brought the bucket over, and Shen Qiuqiu poured the water into the bucket with a net bag.

In addition to branches and dead leaves, there were three palm-sized crucian carp, as well as a number of lively small fish and shrimps.

Zhang Meng carefully picked up a small fish that was only as thick as her little finger and said to Shen Qiuqiu: "This is still a baby fish, and it doesn't have much meat. Let's let it go."

Shen Qiuqiu patted her white and tender little paws away and put the fish back into the bucket.

"This kind of fish can only grow so big. It's wrapped in flour and fried in a pan until golden brown, fragrant and crispy. It's super delicious. I can eat a plate of it by myself."

Zhang Meng swallowed silently and began to look forward to the crispy fried fish.

"Oh, let's catch more, otherwise there won't be enough food."

Li Mao, who was taking a video of them with his cell phone, laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, the baby fish is so cute, you must catch more, otherwise there won't be enough to eat... Hahahahaha, I'm laughing so hard."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and put the net back in place, while Shen Jiashu went upstream to catch fish.

This process was repeated five times, and a total of six crucian carp and half a bucket of small fish and shrimps were caught.

A large grass carp weighing more than three kilograms was also caught in a cage placed upstream. Several people worked hard all afternoon and it was a full harvest.

In the evening, Grandma Shen made a pot of pickled fish with grass carp, crucian carp stew, small fish and shrimps, rolled in flour, and fried in two large plates, which was fragrant and crispy.

After a meal, the CD is played again.

After dinner, the three of them sat in the yard enjoying the cool breeze. When they looked up, they could see the stars twinkling in the sky.

Li Mao was lying leisurely on the recliner, looking at the bright starry sky and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful. There are bright lights everywhere in big cities, but you can't see such a beautiful starry sky."

Zhang Meng took out her mobile phone and took a picture of the starry sky above her head.

However, the photos taken are not satisfactory, less than one-tenth of what you see with your eyes.

The two of them stared at the starry sky in silence, enjoying the tranquility and comfort of this moment.

Shen Qiuqiu is not so leisurely. She is busy editing short videos.

[Shenjia Xiaoyuan]'s account has been in operation for more than ten days, and the data is getting better and better. Now it has over a thousand followers.

However, Shen Qiuqiu has been busy going to the mountains with her grandparents to collect wild mushrooms these past few days, so she has been lazy and not updated.

Several reminders popped up in the comment area, which made her feel guilty and a little encouraged at the same time.

I just happened to shoot a lot of material today, so the content is there.

However, this video is a little different from the past.

The previous video was shot by Shen Qiuqiu, and the protagonists were grandpa and grandma.

This video is basically shot by Li Mao.

As a senior facial makeup artist, her shots basically follow the siblings Shen Qiuqiu and Shen Jiashu, with various close-ups of their faces.

So much so that when Shen Qiuqiu was editing the video, she had the illusion that she was editing an idol drama.

She pieced together some editing and finally got the style back.

The opening scene shows a small farmhouse with gray bricks and gray tiles, and smoke rising from the kitchen chimney.

The scene zoomed in, and grandma stood in front of the stove cooking with a smile.

Then one delicious dish after another was served;

At the dinner table, grandparents smiled amiably and greeted the guests enthusiastically;

Shen Qiuqiu held a chicken paw and chewed it until it was fragrant. Dahuang sat on the edge and watched eagerly, drooling all over the floor;

Shen Jiashu was amused by Rhubarb. The big boy's smile was clean and hearty, as bright as the warm sunshine.

As the scene turned, the sun shone through the leaves and cast dappled light and shadow onto the crystal clear stream.

Shen Qiuqiu and Shen Jiashu stood in the stream holding their trousers. The net was full of harvest, and the two siblings were laughing very happily.

Under the close-up shot, Shen Jiashu's eyes are clear, and his fresh and clean smile is particularly contagious, full of youthfulness;

Shen Qiuqiu threw her head back and laughed. There was no makeup on her face, but it was extremely agile and had a refined and pure beauty.

Zhang Meng did not appear in the scene, but her remarks about the baby fish were cut into the scene as a voiceover by Shen Qiuqiu, and the part where Li Mao laughed and croaked the goose was particularly hilarious.

At the end of the video, there is a plate of golden and crispy fried fish, with Zhang Meng’s voiceover “It tastes so good!”
