80s Taoism

"Jiaohua, Jiaohua, wake up. Baozai, why did you sleep so deeply today?" In the morning, Liu Qiaoye shook Zhang Jiaohua who was still awake, feeling very strange. However, although Zhang Jiaohua slept deeply, she was breathing hard, and her complexion was obviously very healthy.

Zhang Jiaohua opened his eyes, and when he saw Mother, he said regretfully, "Mother, it's such a big piece of meat, the old Taoist took it all away."

Liu Qiaoye chuckled, and scratched Zai Zai's nose lightly with her fingers, "What are you dreaming about again? Do you want to eat meat? When it's time to go to the market, Mother will pick up a load of corn to buy, and I'll cut a catty of meat for you to eat."

"Mother, don't cut the butt, there is no oil and water, but cut the meat on the waist, the fat is thick." In those days, when eating meat, you should choose fat and thick meat. The thicker the fat, the more popular it is. On the contrary, lean and lean meat is not popular. Like all families in the countryside, Zhang Jiaohua's family can't eat meat a few times a year, and the children are greedy.

"Understood, hurry up and wash your mouth and face. Mother has already prepared the meal when she comes back, and you are still lying in bed." Liu Qiaoye giggled and kissed Zai Zai on the cheek.

"Mother, I had a dream last night. I dreamed that I worshiped an old Taoist priest as my master." Zhang Jiaohua jumped up and followed Mother.

"Did he teach you the seventy-two changes?" Liu Qiaoye asked with a smile.

"Why did he teach me seventy-two transformations?" Zhang Jiaohua scratched her head cutely.

"Because you are Sun Wukong." Liu Qiaoye thought that Zhang Jiaohua flipped through the comic strips of Journey to the West every day, and regarded himself as Sun Wukong.

"That's right, why didn't Master teach me how to change?" Zhang Jiaohua didn't realize that he was being teased by his mother.

Zhang Jiaohua's cute appearance made Niangxiao bend over. Since the day of the accident, the mother and son have not been so happy for a long time.

Liu Qiaoye was very amused by Zhang Jiaohua, so during the meal, Liu Qiaoye specially said to the man, "You can't just keep the baby at home all the time, such a smart baby, isn't it boring to be bored at home?"

Zhang Youping nodded, "Yes, Bao Zai, let's go touch the loach with Dad at noon."

Zhang Jiaohua jumped up for joy.

Even Jin Hu and the others were overjoyed. You can go outside for a walk. I don't know why, but the five of them are not afraid of seeing the sun.

When going out, Liu Qiaoye personally took a bamboo hat for Zai Zai to put on, and specially instructed her. No matter what others think, in her eyes, her cubs are priceless treasures in the world.

Zhang Jiaohua couldn't feel the love from his mother, so he happily followed his father with a bamboo basket while wearing a bamboo hat.

Zhang Youping is an experienced farmer, he knows best which ditch in Meiziao hides a lot of loaches. Meizi'ao is a relatively backward mountain village, so in this year, no one here has used electromechanical fish for fishing. Loach is not a valuable thing in this mountain village. It is so small, there is not much meat, and there is not much oil and water. When cooking, it consumes more oil. Therefore, it is not a popular thing. Many people in Meiziao prefer to eat bigger fish.

Zhang Youping took Zai Zai to the foot of a mountain where there was a small ditch with very thin water flow. Zhang Youping blocked both ends of the ditch with soil, and then drained the water in this section of the ditch. Then began to dig the silt in the ditch. Zhang Youping knew that fat loaches like to hide in fertile soil. Many loaches come here by chasing the water, and use this place as their home for their offspring. So there are a lot of loaches hidden in the silt here.

"Xiao Zai, bring the bamboo basket to Dad." Zhang Youping had just turned over the first ball of mud, and he had a harvest. He gently broke the ball of mud, revealing a fat loach inside.

The joy of catching loach is definitely far greater than the interest of eating loach. People who eat loach after many years can no longer enjoy this kind of fun.

Zhang Jiaohua watched his father catch a fat loach, so he had the urge to fight and play in person.

"Father, I'll come down to help you catch loaches too, do you want it?" Zhang Jiaohua looked at Zhang Youping eagerly, and there was a light of hope in his small eyes.

"No. You will get dirty all over when you come down, and your father will be scolded by your mother when you go back." Zhang Youping made an excuse.

"Father, a man who is afraid of his wife is worthless." Zhang Jiaohua pointed out very seriously.

"Hahaha. I'm not afraid of my mother-in-law, but I'm giving way to my mother." Zhang Youping was overjoyed, and wanted to discuss the issue of patriarchy with his mother-in-law when he returned home.

"Jiu Jin is about my age, so his parents let him catch loaches alone. Don't think I'm young. I can touch crucian carp in the fish pond." Zhang Jiaohua said his great achievements without paying attention.

Zhang Youping is now the most taboo to talk about fish ponds. He drowned five alive and kicking children, "Zai Zai, don't mention fish ponds before. You must never go to fish ponds. Do you understand?"

Zhang Jiaohua bargained immediately, "Father asked me to come down to catch loaches, so I won't go to the fish pond to take a bath."

"That's right, boys keep their word. Pull up your trouser legs a little, so you don't get your clothes dirty, and mother will scold you." Zhang Youping's right eyelid began to twitch non-stop. Is this jumping for money, or jumping for disaster?

Zhang Jiaohua slowly descended into the ditch, and as soon as he stepped on it, he was lucky, and even stepped on a loach. The loach drilled hard under Zhang Jiaohua's tender feet, making Zhang Jiaohua feel as if a finger was tickling him. Zhang Jiaohua squatted down, touched the soles of her feet with her two small hands, and then pulled out the mud from the soles of her feet. Sure enough, there was a fat tail sticking out of the mud, still wagging constantly.

"Huh? Zai Zai is really amazing, he caught such a big loach in no time." Zhang Youping quickly praised his Bao Zai.

Zhang Jiaohua was naturally more motivated, and immediately rolled over quickly in the mud. Dig out a piece of silt, scrape it open, and see if there is any trace of loach in it.

At first, the father and son were very active as godfathers. But after a while, Zhang Youping felt something was wrong. In addition to the two fathers and sons who were turning the mud, there were also invisible things turning the mud. From time to time, there will be loaches jumping out of the mud, as if flying into the bamboo basket automatically. After discovering all this, Zhang Youping suddenly felt the surroundings were icy cold. My baby still didn't escape being entangled by those ghosts. Zhang Youping suddenly became very depressed, and he was no longer interested in catching loach.

"Zai Zai, we have caught so many loach. Let's go home." Zhang Youping said.

Zhang Jiaohua was playing vigorously, her little face was already covered with a lot of mud, making her look like a little cat. Hearing Zhang Youping's words, he was not willing to do anything, "I still haven't turned it over like this. There must be a lot of loaches hidden in it. Dad, just let me play for a while."
