Chapter 34: We're Not Uncommon
The process of fishing is full of hardships and twists and turns, but fortunately, Wei Ning'er has been defeated again and again, and finally mastered the fishing skills proficiently. Not only did he successfully catch three small crucian carp, but he also caught a five-pound silver carp and a three-pound black fish.
"Wow, pudding, look I've caught a big fish. Xu was so excited that Wei Ning'er almost jumped up.
Pudding was awakened from his sleep, thinking that it was a thunderbolt, and got up in horror. After discovering that it was Wei Ning'er's scream, he sat back with a sad face.
"I said, eldest sister, when will you finish fishing, I will sleep twice. β
"Right now, we'll go back right away. "It's been a long time since I've drunk fish soup or eaten green drunken fish. Seeing this five-pound tarpon, she already had no less than ten ways to cook it in her heart.
So she'd better catch two more big guys before she can go back to the business.
After another hour of grinding, seeing that the sky was about to darken, Wei Ning'er reluctantly rushed home with her victory.
But the sister-in-law of the Ni family is waiting for her neck to be long, and the rice is cooked. I also added two more fires to the pot, and the pots in that pot will have to wait (han). (That is, the pot will soften)
Ni Jia was lucky to think that her sister-in-law didn't know the news that she was leaving work early, who knew that it was such a coincidence. My sister-in-law went out today, and met an acquaintance in the kiln factory on the way, and she asked casually, and she knew that her sister-in-law had finished work.
But I don't want to, I can't wait for someone to come back.
If it was on weekdays, maybe my sister-in-law would have to wait for her with a board. A great thing happened today, so my sister-in-law was patient.
However, her meal was cooked, and seeing that the sky was about to be blackened, the wild girl still didn't come back. The sister-in-law couldn't help muttering.
"Husband, if you don't go out to look for it, don't do anything. β
Ni Cheng knows his sister's temperament, she is very stable, and she is also very measured in doing things. At this moment, he is sitting in the courtyard, splitting the bamboo into small pieces, removing the bamboo skin, and using it to weave bamboo baskets.
Ni Cheng's craftsmanship is good, the bamboo basket, bamboo flat and the like are also good, and one can be sold for a few cents.
It's just that this is manual work, not to mention that he hurts his hands if he does too much, his legs are not good, and he can't get that little bamboo. In addition, the price is not very high, if it weren't for his legs, he probably wouldn't have done this job.
"No, Jiajia must have been delayed by something. β
The wife was anxious, and said busily: "On weekdays, I see that you are very concerned about your sister, but now it is almost dark, and I don't see you in a hurry." It's not like you're thinking about something else. β
"Why? β
The sister-in-law continued: "According to me, your sister is not too young now. If we can have a good family, we can also think about it first. I think Director Shen is a good person today. looks good, has a good temper, and thinks about our Jiajia very much, I thought to myself, if we can find a good family to marry earlier, we will have peace of mind. β
Ni Cheng is helping a bamboo basket to the basket. The basket mouth is generally made of coarse and hard bamboo, because it is tough and the scale is thick enough. However, such bamboo pieces are covered with barbs, which are easy to scratch hands. Sure enough, Ni Cheng was distracted, and his hand was suddenly cut by the bamboo piece, and bright red blood splashed out at once.
His eyes suddenly darkened, and he almost fell, the blood on his hands couldn't stop flowing out, and Ni Cheng grinned in pain. He covered the wound with his right hand, but the opening was so big that he could only wrap his hand with his clothes.
When Ni Cheng's daughter-in-law saw it, her face turned white, and she hurriedly ran over a few steps, looked at his bleeding hands, and asked, "What's wrong, why are you so careless." How old are you, and you can still make a basket. β
His daughter-in-law muttered as she tried to find something to help stop the bleeding in his hand.
Ni Cheng heard that there was a complaint in her tone, and this would be angry, so he hurriedly shook off her arm and didn't let her wrap it. At the same time, he sprinkled his anger on the unsightly bamboo basket in front of him and kicked it away.
"You don't have to do it, I'll do it myself. β
When her daughter-in-law heard this, she suddenly became angry in her heart. "Heh, I'm capable, when Director Shen came just now, you didn't say hello or say, you were stunned that your nose was not your nose, and your eyes were not eyes. The director of the family came to our house to look up to us, and if Jiajia has his support in the future, then we can also get a little light.
Ni Cheng's foot injury is not yet healed, he can walk, and some of his feet are lame. As he walked, he said, "You woman knows something, your hair is long, and your knowledge is short. Do you know what that Shen Chong is in the factory, and others call him? He has no intentions for our Jiajia, and will give her such a good position as a newcomer?"
"What's the matter? It shows that our sister-in-law is capable, our Jiajia has a good appearance, a good temperament, and who doesn't like people who don't like it. β
When Ni Cheng heard his wife's words, he almost fainted.
"Your horizon is just as big as a sesame mung bean. In our factory, Shen Chong has a nickname called the flower thief, and some people call him a big radish and a big pig. And do you know who his girlfriend is?"
"Ah, he still has a girlfriend?" the wife with the nickname heard her husband's words, and the color on her face was a little wrong. was originally excited, and I still estimated in my heart that my sister-in-law probably still had a little weight, and there was such a person rushing over to please her.
It turns out that this is all empty joy.
"His fiancΓ©e is no one else, but has a great background, that is, the niece of our factory director, and now she is the deputy secretary of our factory, and her own family is also very promising. β
Ni Cheng's wife listened to this, and there was no sound in her mouth, and she pursed her lips slightly: "Hmph, this Director Shen is really not a good thing." It's really eating from the bowl and looking at the pot. Let's not marry such a person. β
After speaking, she stared at her husband's bleeding hand again, and when she saw that the blood on the hand was bright red, she immediately wanted to vomit again.
Ni Cheng shook his head and said: "Not to mention that this Shen Chong's character is not good, even if he doesn't have a girlfriend now, with his temperament, I don't think we Jiajia will like that kind of man." β
Just as Ni Cheng's words fell, he suddenly heard a slight footstep at the door, and the sound of stepping on a broken branch.
Ni Cheng's ears were sharp, he tilted his head and listened in the direction of the door, and said busily: "Wife, you heard a movement at the door, isn't Jiajia back?"
Ni Cheng's wife couldn't help but glance at him and said, "There are people outside this door, I look outside from this crack in the door, it must be the wind blowing, or there are rats or something." β
"Then let's wait, it's really not good, I'm watching at home, you will go out and look for it later, this girl should come back too." β
