Bian Rui entered his yard and found Yan Lan holding the little fox and chatting with the two old ladies.

"Look, who's back?"

Yan Lan raised the little fox and shook it twice at Bian Rui, but she didn't know if it was to show Bian Rui the little fox, and she was still shaking the little fox to let it look at Bian Rui.

The little fox was surprisingly obedient, and he didn't make any trouble in Yan Lan's arms, so he looked at Bian Rui quietly. If he didn't know the nature of this thing, Bian Rui would have thought that it would become a Buddha.

Bian Rui glanced at the little fox, put on a look of disgust, and turned around and took off his coat.

"Are the pigs finished?" asked Bian Rui's mother.

Bian Rui snorted, indicating that the pig had been killed.

"Have you taken care of the pig's large intestine? and the belly or something, and it seems that there are not a few days left for the New Year, and everything has to be taken care of," Bian Rui's mother asked again.

The mother-in-law said at this time: "Where is the time for the pig that was just killed in the morning, so let's wait for the noon meal, you and I, the two of us will go to take care of the pig's intestines together." I'm not at ease with the pig intestines that Xiaorui has taken care of, and we have to do this kind of delicate work to make people feel at ease."

Bian Rui's mother smiled: "Don't say that, as long as this kid is very picky, don't worry, his intestines are cleaner than ours."

Bian Rui didn't seem to be able to avoid this matter, so he said: "Okay, I'll take care of the pig's intestines in the afternoon!

"Don't you take care of it and keep it for what, anyway, there are not a few days, you take care of your intestines in the afternoon, I will prepare something to fry the balls tomorrow morning, I asked your father to go to catch fish early in the morning, I don't know if I have come back now, whether I have caught the right fish" Bian Rui's mother said.

Bian Rui thought for a moment and replied: "It is estimated that it will be difficult today."

"Why?" Bian Rui's mother was very strange, not understanding why her son said this.

Bian Rui said: "In the morning, I saw that the lake was frozen, and it was very thick, and it was okay for a person to stand on it, and I didn't see my father digging a hole in the lake to pull fish, so ......."

Bian Rui was doing it here, and the sound of Bian Rui Lao Tzu singing a little song came from outside the wall.

"You're going to lie to me. Would your father be so happy if he hadn't caught a fish?" said Bian Rui's mother and stood up.

"What are you going for?"

"I'm going home! It's almost half past ten, go home and cook," said Bian Rui's mother.

Bian Rui saw that his mother was leaving, and followed by his mother-in-law who also stood up, so he said repeatedly: "Don't go, what are you going, let's eat here at noon today, anyway, there is everything."

The mother-in-law smiled: "No need, in addition to your father and Jinglu at home, I may not be able to get the food ready when I go home now." I really like this girl from the bottom of my heart, if it weren't for Xiaorui's apprentice, I would have wanted to accept her as my goddaughter......

Bian Rui saw that his mother-in-law had caught Jing Lu and praised violently, so he had to smile cooperatively.

"I don't eat with you either, there are still three or four mouths waiting for me at home, and besides, I don't worry about leaving your grandmother busy cooking alone," Bian Rui's mother said.

Bian Rui didn't force him to stay, they were all family members, and he didn't need Bian Rui to say more if he wanted to stay for dinner.

When he arrived at the door, Bian Rui happened to meet his father.

"Did you catch the fish?" asked Bian Rui's mother.

Bian Rui's father nodded, stretched out his finger and made a gesture: "All of them are such long small fish, and all of them are black carp, and they will be beaten with scales later, and they will be loaded with salt, and they will be able to pass the oil tomorrow morning after a night."

Bian Rui asked, "Dad, the lake is frozen, where did you catch the fish?"

Bian Rui's father said: "The lake is frozen, but there is no knot upstream, not only is there no ice over there, the water temperature is not prickly, I went over there to see the guys, the whole pool is full of this kind of small fish and they are all big in water, just use a basket to scoop down, the amount of fried fish you want is almost ......."

Bian Rui's father mentioned this morning's catch of fish, which was called a dancing eyebrow.

Hearing his father say this, Bian Rui thought curiously in his head, thinking about which pool his father was talking about, and after thinking for a while, he didn't think too much about it, the approximate location was clear, but there were too many pools over there. The water in the lake is all mountain springs flowing down from the mountains, some are hot springs, five or six are gathered into the original depression, which forms the lake next to the village now, the lake water does not pass the depression, and a small river is formed near the village, that is, the stream that passes through the village of Bianjia, and in the valley two miles away, it is divided into two rivers with greater volume, one to the southeast and the other to the northeast.

Anyway, the water in the lake is clean, no one will wash clothes in the lake, everyone used to wash clothes in the stream at the door, and the natural carob powder was used, so there is no pollution or pollution, in short, there is no smelly ditch here.

"You're alone?" Bian Rui asked.

Bian Rui's father said: "How is it possible, who doesn't catch fish and make fried fish today, I am the first to find the pool, and then your uncle and they will arrive, it is estimated that everyone will get a little, and the little black carp in the pool can be left at most one-third."

The remaining one-third may sound like a small amount, but it is enough for the crucian carp, and by the end of next year the little crucian carp will be replenished immediately.

After sending his parents and mother-in-law to the government, Bian Rui returned to his house and began to prepare lunch.

Today's lunch is very simple, Bian Rui is going to fry a pork ribs, stir-fry a vegetarian dish and finally make a soup.

The ribs had just been fried, and the little girl said that she would not come back for lunch, and she would eat them at her grandmother's house. Bian Rui then wondered whether to burn this vegetarian dish.

After thinking about it for a while, Bian Rui decided to burn it.

After the dishes were cooked, the two of them did not go to the kitchen to eat. Bian Rui directly set up a small table in the hall of the main house, and sat face to face with his daughter-in-law and began to eat.

Yan Lan took two bites and put down the bowl.

"What's wrong, it's not delicious?" Bian Rui asked.

Yan Lan shook her head, smiled and said: "Suddenly I felt so lonely when I was eating today, it turned out that when Jingjing was at home, I felt that it was lively, who knew that without her, it would be less lively."

Bian Rui smiled when he heard this: "You person, don't you eat without her every day when you live in Mingzhu, and I don't see you unaccustomed."

"Then how can it be the same, my parents were here at that time, and we were a family of four when we ate, and sometimes my parents were added at noon, so it was naturally lively," Yan Lan said.

Bian Rui said: "It's not easy for you to be lively, anyway, it's three or four days before the New Year, and everyone can eat together." Now six old people, plus our family of three, and then bring the stupid girl Jinglu, ten meals a day, do you have energy?"

"I guess my dad doesn't like them, right?" Yan Lan was very happy at first glance, but the smile on her face disappeared when she thought of her parents.

She also understands that her parents are still a little insistent, their age is destined to have rules and regulations for them to do things, Bian Rui as a son-in-law to eat at her father-in-law's house is nothing to say, where is the father-in-law's family Chinese New Year's Eve to the son-in-law's house, if the only daughter arrives, it doesn't matter, but the old man has a son, the old man can't come to Bian Rui's house.

If Bian Rui's family doesn't come, then Bian Rui's parents' family will be even more impossible.

Bian Rui thought for a while: "That's good, isn't Zhu Tongqiang leaving, I'll ask about the house in the afternoon, we can use it as a restaurant, in this case, no one will touch it, the old man won't have anything to say, right?"

Yan Lan became happy when she heard this, and reached out to pat Bian Rui, but her arm was not long enough, so she had to kick Bian Rui twice under the table: "The young man is very smart! By the way, why borrow that house?"

"It's not borrowing, just now Hu Shuo called and said that he wanted to rent that house, you said that you just remembered this," Bian Rui said.

"Okay, you can hurry up and ask in the afternoon!" Yan Lan said.

Bian Rui snorted, and then put a piece of pork ribs in Yan Lan's bowl: "Eat more! I have controlled the oil of this rib, and I didn't put any oil in it when frying."

"It's delicious, you don't have to clip it for me, I have never been wronged when I marry you," Yan Lan said with a smile and picked up the bowl again.

Bian Rui saw that she was in a bit of a hurry, for fear that her daughter-in-law would choke, so he put a bowl of soup in front of her in an instant.

Yan Lan looked at Bian Rui's busy work, and her heart was like eating honey, and the sweetness was about to melt.

After eating, he helped his daughter-in-law into the house to take a nap, and after Bian Rui cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he went out of the yard and went directly to the uncle's house.

When I arrived at the uncle's house, I found that there were many people in the uncle's family.

The people in the uncle's room were originally prosperous, the grandfather had nine sons on his side, and the uncle had eight sons on his side, and now it was the New Year, and he didn't know what was being discussed.

When everyone saw Bian Rui entering the courtyard, they immediately greeted Bian Rui.

"What's the matter?" asked Bian Rui's fifth brother at Bian Rui.

Bian Rui replied: "Come and ask about the Banpo house, that is, Zhu Tongqiang's yard, there is a friend who wants to rent it and come to live from time to time."

"Oh, that's it, then you wait a while, my dad is blowing his beard at my eldest brother-in-law," said the fifth brother.

Bian Rui stretched out his head to take a look, and found that the uncle's face was really not very good, and he was about to shrink his head, but found that the uncle also saw him, and was waving at him to go in.

Walking into the house, Bian Rui was almost smoked by the smell of smoke in the house.

"You kid isn't at home preparing things for the New Year, what are you doing here?" the uncle asked.

Bian Rui first nodded at his brother and brother-in-law as polite, and then replied to his uncle's words.

"I wanted to ask about Zhu Tongqiang's house......" Bian Rui asked.

The uncle listened and said: "This matter is a trivial matter, but we can talk about it, the rent can't be biased, it has to be the price of the strong rent."

The uncle also knew Hu Shuo, and there was nothing wrong with renting it to him, but he emphasized that the rent could not be reduced.

Bian Rui was not prepared to take advantage of this small advantage, and Hu Shuo would definitely not save such two pieces a year.

Money wasn't an issue, and things quickly came to an end.
