"I think about it! Of course I do." Several boys replied in unison.

"If you think about it, it will be easy to handle. Catch more lobsters. My sister will help you take the lobsters to the county town tomorrow and change the cloth for you."

"Sister, is it true? Sister, my name is Hutou. Can you really change the cloth and make new clothes for us?" Hutou raised his head and asked Wenlei. Wenlei looked at the thin body, the pants that were five centimeters too short, and the top of the trouser legs. It has been sewn several times and patched one after another, and it is impossible to tell what it once looked like.

"Sister, I'm not lying to you, right? The lobsters you caught will only be changed into cloth for you, okay? Tomorrow when the tractor returns to the village, you can go to the brigade headquarters to find sister. Sister will help you change the cloth back." Wen Lei touched the tiger's head. Tell him seriously.

In an instant, several children became excited. Not only did they go down to the river to touch lobsters, but they also ran to shout to their brothers and sisters to come over and help.

Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu were also catching lobsters in the cave by the river. Yuan Yuan followed them and kept putting the lobsters they caught into the baskets. The little guy's face was flushed with excitement and his eyes were bright.

After a while, the team catching lobsters gradually grew larger, and from time to time there were screams of being caught in the claws of lobsters. Maybe it was because the children in the countryside were thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Wen Lei only heard their screams but not the cries of any of the children.

As Wen Lei lowered her head to catch lobsters, the weak voice of an eight or nine-year-old girl suddenly sounded in her ears. "I...can I catch lobsters too? Can you change a piece of cloth for me, just a small piece."

Wen Lei looked up and saw a skinny girl with yellow hair and her hands clasped together nervously. Her little hands were really similar to chicken feet.

Wen Lei looked up at the little girl. She was really frightened. Wen Lei had never seen anyone so thin. Was she wearing clothes? Wen Lei took a closer look, it should be clothes, right? You can vaguely see that there is still cloth, but what you can see is almost a sack.

Looking at the little girl Wen Lei, she felt suffocated and even had the urge to cry. How could anyone, especially a little girl, live like this? Can people really live in such misery?

"Of course! What's your name?" Wen Lei held back the sourness in her heart and tried her best to smile gently at the little girl.

"My...my name is Zhao Laidi." Wen Lei fell silent, didn't speak anymore, and just nodded.

Call me brother, what a good name! What a high expectation for parents!

Ding Yanyu also saw Zhao Laidi and quickly pulled her to catch lobsters with him. Zhao Laidi refused, then turned and ran away.

Wen Lei suddenly wasn't in the mood to catch lobsters, so she got up and walked to the river, washed her feet, and walked quickly to the educated youth spot.

When Wen Lei came back, she had an extra drawing board in her hand. She found a high place, stood there for a while and looked at the scene by the river. She took out her paintbrush and painted it from top to bottom in one go. The entire scene by the river suddenly appeared on the drawing board. Especially the scene of the children catching lobsters, with their thin little faces and ragged clothes. The little hands of the children in twos and threes are tightly clamped by the lobsters. There are no tears on their faces but they smile extremely brightly.

When Wen Lei looked at the painting she had made, she had the urge to cry. She felt too much in her heart and thought that she would give this painting to Director Wang tomorrow, so that she might be able to do something for the children.

The captain came to see Wen Lei excitedly, and happened to see Wen Lei's painting, and he was amazed. "Educated literary youth, your painting is really like it, it's so beautiful!"

Wen Lei put away the drawing board and looked at the captain's anxious look just now, knowing that he had something to do with her. If he guessed correctly, it should be about the children catching lobsters. "Captain, what do you want from me?"

The captain looked at Wen Lei angrily and said. "What are you still talking about? You told those children that catching lobsters can help them change their cloths? Go and see for yourself! All adults and children in the village are catching lobsters, and now they have weighed at least more than 400 kilograms. If I hadn't stopped them, I’m afraid that even now I can hold [-] to [-] kilograms.”

Wen Lei had a big head. She didn't expect the villagers to be so crazy. Could it be that there were too many lobsters in the river? Maybe! I heard that lobsters reproduce very quickly. In this era, there are few people eating them, so it is not impossible for them to spread.

Wen Lei walked to the river with the team leader and looked at the buckets of lobsters with claws and teeth. Wen Lei was shocked by the scene in front of her. With so many lobsters, she really couldn't guarantee that they would be able to send them out tomorrow. Why! It was really smashed into her hands, so she had no choice but to admit it. She couldn't help but eat it slowly by herself in her own space.

"Each parent will help the children to take the lobsters to the brigade headquarters. I will register and weigh them later. Let's agree first that I will only help the children change the cloth, and the adults will go to the group. I will only help the children aged 11 to seven years old, and the younger children. No, our river is not deep, but adults must pay attention to the safety of children. If safety is not guaranteed, I will not help." Wen Lei was really afraid of doing bad things with good intentions. If anything happened to any child, she I felt like I could be thrown directly into the river by the villagers.

The sky gradually darkened, and the villagers moved to the brigade headquarters one after another. There were several bonfires burning at the entrance of the brigade. The captain moved out the table, and Wen Lei and Ding Yanyu began to record the data of the children catching lobsters.

"Zhang Tiedan, 18 jins." "Zhao Gouzi 37 jins." "Zhao Laidi 16 jins." "Liu Hutou 46 jins" "Yuan Yuan [-] jins"... The weighing personnel read the numbers, and Ding Yanyu recorded them. Wen Lei asked the child's parents to sign or fingerprint the guarantee form. She could do something to help her children, but she had to think ahead of the safety hazards. Wen Lei didn't want to be the guilty party if something happened.

"Zhang Laifei, 11 pounds." When she read Zhang Laifei, Wen Lei did not wait for the parents to sign, so she could only tell him seriously. "Zhang Laifei, right? I can only accept you today. My sister can't accept you next time." Zhang Laifei lowered his head and said nothing, while the other children talked and cursed.

"Sister, don't accept him, he is a wolf cub, he is a small landowner... he is the son of a mouse..." The children's chirping voices contained malicious curses and insults, which made Wen Lei a little angry. It's uncomfortable to be blocked.

"Captain, come here." Wen Lei's voice was serious, and Zhang Laifei lowered his head even further.

The captain came over and saw a group of gibbering children, Wen Lei with a cold face and Zhang Laifei with his head lowered and silent. "What's the matter? Zhang Laifei doesn't have any signatures from his family."

"The captain asked you to come here not to ask you this. I want to ask you whether Zhang Laifei is guilty? Has he made any mistakes?" Wen Lei said to the captain very seriously.

"What crime can he be guilty of as a child? He has never made any mistakes?" The captain looked at Zhang Laifei and let out a long sigh.

"Then your captain, listen to what these children say. Can children say curse words? They are the future of the country, how can they learn to curse? If children are not taught well, what hope does it have for the future? Since Zhang Laifei has not made any mistakes, let alone Sin, why can adults just watch him being bullied, abused and insulted. He is still a child!"
