Chapter 63 Rat Killer He Shengnan
October 10rd is the last day of the National Day holiday.

At Deshengmen, it was already dawn, and Wang Mengde and He Shengnan got on the bus to Shahe.

Today, they are going to Tiangezhuang.

He Shengnan was drowsy in the shaking car. Yesterday, the two of them spent the whole day strolling on the overpass. After coming back in the evening, they came a few more times with great interest.

They had gone to bed quite late, and when they woke up in the morning, I don't know who started the conversation first, but the two of them couldn't help but get close to each other again. If she hadn't begged for mercy softly, they probably wouldn't have been able to go out now.

"Shengnan, if you're sleepy, lean on me and take a nap." Wang Mengde said in a low voice as he saw her dazed look.

Then he moved his body inside.

Maybe it was a benefit brought by time travel. Logically, he would have consumed more physical energy, but now he was very energetic and did not feel tired at all.

"Well, I'll take a nap then."

As she spoke, she tilted her head, leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

The bus headed north for more than an hour and finally arrived at Shahe Station. Wang Mengde woke up He Shengnan, and the two got off the bus and started walking towards Tiangezhuang.

When she arrived at the village entrance, He Shengnan looked around curiously. This was her first time here.

"Meng De, this is where you lived as a child?"

"Yes, I grew up in this village when I was a child. Have you seen those big trees behind the village? I used to climb up to rob bird nests, which caused my clothes to be torn all the time, especially around my belly.

There is also a river not far from here. My cousin often secretly took me to take a bath there in the summer. He was often scolded by my grandmother for this. Once, I almost drowned, and my grandmother chased him around the village with a stick. He was naked at the time.

Wang Mengde said with a smile.

Thinking of the interesting things that happened in his childhood, he was immersed in fond memories.

When we arrived at the gate of my grandfather's house, there was no one outside. I could only hear my grandmother's nagging voice coming from the yard. She was advising my grandfather to smoke less.

"Grandpa, grandma, we are back."

Stepping into the yard, Wang Mengde shouted.

"Grandpa, grandma." He Shengnan followed behind him and said with a smile.

"Oh, Mengde and Shengnan are here, come in quickly." Wang Tian was sitting in the yard, rubbing corn and scolding Wang Jinghui. When she heard the two voices, she quickly looked up and said happily.

"Meng De and Shengnan are back." Wang Jinghui knocked his pipe on the ground, then stood up with a smile on his face.

Taking two steps forward, Wang Tian grabbed He Shengnan's arm, looked left and right, and smiled.

After entering the house, she saw Wang Mengde carrying a few more bags in his hands, and her face changed. She complained:

"Meng De, why are you bringing back more things? Your grandfather and I have plenty of food. We haven't even finished the peach cakes we brought back last time.

Shengnan, please sit and wait for me. I will go to the house and get you some peach cakes."

As he said this, he let go of He Shengnan's arm and was about to walk into the house.

"Grandma, don't take it. I also bought some peach cakes at home. Keep these for you.

By the way, you should eat the peach cakes quickly, otherwise they will go bad and become inedible. It would be a pity to throw them away."

Wang Mengde quickly held her arm and stopped her, at the same time he smiled bitterly in his heart. As expected, the older generation liked to hide things. He had bought this peach cake in early July, and it has been three months now.

"It's not bad. I gave a piece to Meng Qi yesterday and he ate it with relish." When Wang Tian heard that they had also bought it in the city, she stopped and retorted casually.

"It's good that it's not spoiled. Don't keep it any longer. Eat it quickly." Wang Mengde advised, then opened the several packages he had brought.

"Grandma, I bought a few pounds of candy. I'll give a few to every family in the village later. And this donkey roll and pea yellow are specially bought by Shengnan for you and grandpa to taste."

After a pause, he continued, "You can't keep this for too long. It will grow mold in two or three days. If you eat it again, you will be poisoned. You and grandpa should try it quickly."

Then he handed the pea yellow to Wang Tian.

"Hey, Shengnan bought it. I'll eat it. Let me wash my hands." After washing her hands, Wang Tian picked up a piece of pea yellow and started eating it happily.

Wang Jinghui also tasted a piece of each.

After eating, Wang Mengde saw that Grandpa Wang Ning's family was not there, and asked curiously: "Grandma, where are Grandpa and Auntie?"

"Your uncle and aunt went to the market, and your cousin took Meng Qi to the east field to dig rat holes for food." Wang Jinghui said happily.

When she heard about digging rat holes, He Shengnan showed an interested expression on her face.

"Meng De, wait until around noon when everyone in the village has returned, then go and deliver the candies. You can take Shengnan to the fields to play with your cousin if you have nothing to do." Wang Tian, ​​who was sitting nearby, noticed this and said quickly.

Wang Mengde also noticed his wife's expression and said, "Okay, Grandpa and grandma, I'll take Shengnan to the fields for a walk."

After leaving the village and walking a few meters east along the dirt road, you will reach the fields of Tiangezhuang.

Not far away, a group of more than ten people were gathered there. When I got closer, I saw four or five young men digging the soil with shovels, and the rest of the people were gathered around chatting.

Seeing them coming over, the cousin who was digging the soil put the shovel into the hands of a young man next to him, greeted him with a smile, and Wang Mengqi also quickly called out "cousin, cousin's wife".

"Cousin, I brought Shengnan to watch you digging a rat hole." Wang Mengde said, and then greeted the people around him.

He knew everyone in the village, many of whom were his childhood playmates.

While greeting him, these people secretly glanced at He Shengnan beside him. They were very envious in their hearts. After all, the girls in the city were prettier.

"Meng De, you two stand back. This hole is almost dug to the bottom. A rat might come out soon." The cousin reminded.

He was afraid that He Shengnan would get too close and get scared when she saw the mouse.

Wang Mengde didn't say anything, but turned to look at his wife.

"It's okay, I'm not afraid." He Shengnan knew what he meant and quickly said in a low voice.

Seeing that she was looking into the pit with curiosity and showed no sign of fear, Wang Mengde stopped trying to persuade her.

After a while, they probably dug into the mouse's home. Suddenly, two mice ran out of the hole. One was knocked to the ground by a shovel as soon as it came out of the hole. The other one saw so many people and ran around like a headless fly.

It turned around twice and then rushed directly towards He Shengnan.

When Wang Mengde saw this, he quickly took two steps forward. Just as he was about to kick, he saw He Shengnan, who looked calm. She quickly stretched out her right foot and kicked the mouse accurately with her toes.

The unfortunate mouse drew a beautiful parabola, fell into the middle of the crowd, and was then hit to the ground by a shovel.

After killing two mice, everyone looked at He Shengnan in surprise. They didn't expect that girls in the city were not afraid of mice just like those in the countryside.

Then, several people continued to dig holes, and soon they dug out a lot of soybeans, corn, wheat and other grains.
