初秋的下午，蝉儿在树丫间鸣叫，秋姑娘迈着轻盈的步伐为果树画上金黄色的外衣。铁蛋躺在树荫下的藤椅上，悠闲地听着蝉鸣。“铃铃铃……”一阵急促的电话声，惊醒了正惬意着的铁蛋。
In the early autumn afternoon, cicadas chirped among the tree branches, and the autumn girl walked lightly to paint the fruit trees with a golden coat. Iron Egg lay on a rattan chair under the shade of a tree, leisurely listening to cicadas chirping. Ringing, ringing... "A hurried phone call woke up Iron Egg, who was enjoying himself.
没一会儿，奶奶迈着小碎步从屋里跑了出来：“铁蛋，你表哥要回来了！”
After a while, Grandma ran out of the house with small steps and said, "Iron Egg, your cousin is coming back
“啥？！”
What
“你表哥要回来了！”
Your cousin is coming back
铁蛋难以置信地看着奶奶。
Iron Egg looked at his grandmother in disbelief.
“春节的时候，他就忙得没时间回来。这不，你前阵子写信说想他了，正好他也想家，就趁着周末回来一趟，估计晚上8点就能到家。”奶奶笑得眼睛眯成了一条缝，铁蛋一哧溜把自己关进了房间。
During the Spring Festival, he was so busy that he didn't have time to come back. Well, you wrote a letter a while ago saying you missed him, and he happened to miss home too. So he came back on the weekend and probably got home at 8 pm. "Grandma smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and she quickly locked herself in the room.
月亮缓缓地爬上树梢，由于云层的遮挡，整个村庄黑漆漆的，很是闷热。“奶奶，你不是说8点么。这都7点55了，怎么还没影。”铁蛋焦急地在院子里张望，一阵风过，脚边的一排排小辣椒都转过了头。5分钟、10分钟，半个小时过去了，却迟迟不见表哥的踪影。月亮仿佛停下了脚步，铁蛋的眼睛也耷拉了下来，只有奶奶养的小狗，偶尔冲着村口汪汪一阵叫。
The moon slowly climbed up the treetops, and due to the obstruction of clouds, the entire village was pitch black and stuffy. Grandma, didn't you say it's 8 o'clock? It's already 7:55, why hasn't there been a shadow yet, "Iron Egg anxiously looked around the yard. A gust of wind passed, and rows of small chili peppers at her feet turned their heads. Five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour has passed, but there is still no trace of my cousin. The moon seemed to stop in its tracks, and Iron Egg's eyes drooped down. Only the little dog raised by her grandmother would occasionally bark at the village entrance.
“咕噜、咕噜……”一阵轱辘声划破了宁静，一个瘦长的声影渐渐近了。
Gulu, Gulu... "A sound of rolling broke through the tranquility, and a thin and long voice gradually approached.
“是表哥！”铁蛋疾步上前，一只手接过表哥手中大大小小的盒子，一只手拉着表哥往家走。他望着这个大自己二十岁左右的表哥，显得有些局促又好奇。回到屋里，话痨铁蛋变成了沉默铁蛋，看着表哥，支支吾吾，竟一个字也说不出来。
It's cousin! "Iron Egg stepped forward quickly, taking the big and small boxes in cousin's hand with one hand and pulling him home with the other hand. He looked at his cousin, who was about twenty years older than him, feeling a bit uneasy and curious. Returning to the room, the talkative iron egg turned into a silent iron egg, looking at his cousin and stuttering, unable to say a word.
表哥笑笑，摸了摸铁蛋的头，温柔地说：“走，小家伙，表哥带你捉螃蟹去！”
Cousin smiled and touched Iron Egg's head, saying gently, "Let's go, little one. Cousin will take you to catch crabs
铁蛋挽着表哥的手蹦蹦跳跳地来到池塘边。两人屏气听了一会，合力翻开一块大石头，里面一只张牙舞爪的大螃蟹，正举着钳子对着他俩“示威”。铁蛋吓得直往后退。表哥一步上前，不慌不忙地张开右手的食指和拇指，朝着螃蟹的背后伸过去，一招“猛虎下山”巧妙地躲开了螃蟹的大剪刀，稳稳地掐住螃蟹的壳，像孙悟空棒打小妖精一样，将它擒获。一套动作行云流水，干脆利落。铁蛋还没缓过神来，表哥已经把螃蟹放到桶里了。没一会，小桶里已经好几只螃蟹。
Iron Egg held his cousin's hand and bounced to the edge of the pond. After holding their breath and listening for a while, the two of them worked together to open a large stone. Inside, a big crab with bared teeth and claws was holding pliers to "demonstrate" towards them. Iron Egg was scared and retreated straight back. My cousin took a step forward and calmly opened his index finger and thumb of his right hand, reaching towards the back of the crab. With a clever move of "Tiger Down the Mountain", he evaded the crab's large scissors and firmly grasped its shell, capturing it like Sun Wukong hitting a little fairy. A set of movements flows smoothly and crisply. Iron Egg hasn't recovered yet, but my cousin has already put the crab in the bucket. Before long, there were already several crabs in the small bucket.
初秋的夜是凉的，一阵风过，几片树叶落地，皎洁的月光洒在田里，庄稼像是被裹上一层银霜。铁蛋和表哥拎起小桶，一起走向家的方向。
The early autumn night is cool, with a gust of wind passing by and a few leaves falling to the ground. The bright moonlight shines on the fields, and the crops seem to be wrapped in a layer of silver frost. Iron Egg and cousin picked up a small bucket and walked towards home together.
