cpa300_4(); Children who don't play with firecrackers stand next to adults, staring at the water with motionless eyes, as if the water can be released faster, and then the fish pond is completely dry. Β€Top Novel,
"Dad, my mother-in-law called you back to eat. Ruofei cautiously squeezed to Guo Xingwang's side and said loudly.
Guo Xingwang glanced at the fish pond and knew that it would take some time to release the water, and besides, he was too old to go down to the pond to catch fish with a net, so he nodded and said, "Well, let's go home for dinner." β
Saying that, Guo Xingwang stretched out his hand to hold Ruofei's hand, and the two grandparents and grandchildren squeezed forward, and only after crossing the pond bank did Guo Xingwang let go of Ruofei's hand and walked in the direction of home one after the other.
As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the aroma of food, and Ruofei couldn't wait to shout at the stove: "Mother-in-law, I'm back with my father." β
"Wash your hands and eat your meal. Zhao Cuiying replied inside.
If he belched, he took the basin from the washstand, walked to the stove, put the basin on the dining table, and Zhao Cuiying, who was busy on the stove, bent down and asked for a scoop of cold water, and went to the kang altar to scoop hot water.
"Daddy, wash your hands. Ruofei picked up the basin and walked out with a smile.
Seeing his granddaughter sensibly fetching water and washing her hands, Guo Xingwang showed a warm smile on his face, stretched out his hand to catch the basin, and shouted: "Be careful, I'll come." β
Ruofei didn't hide, the basin was naturally picked up by Guo Xingwang, and the grandfather and grandson happily went to the hall outside to wash their hands.
After washing his hands, Guo Xingwang took the basin to pour water, and Ruofei went into the house to help serve the food, although it was morning. The food is also white rice, mainly because rural people usually have to work, so they also eat in the morning. And because it's not the north, I don't eat steamed buns much.
There are no good dishes in winter, except for a stir-fried vegetable sprout, there are no other green leafy vegetables, mostly pickles, but pickles also have the benefit of pickles, that is, rice. So after a while, Ruofei ate a bowl of white rice.
Seeing that Ruofei's bowl was empty, Zhao Cuiying couldn't help asking, "Do you want more?"
Ruofei shook her head and put down the dishes and chopsticks directly. He replied, "I won't eat it, I'm going to catch fish." β
"Where is so fast, eat some more, grow taller. Zhao Cuiying persuaded. looked at the thin and weak little girl in front of her. She didn't understand, where did this child eat his usual eggs, why didn't he see the growing meat?
Ruofei didn't know what her grandmother was thinking, so she just said with a bitter face: "Mother-in-law, I'm full, and I can eat it to my throat." β
Guo Xingwang, who was eating, was suddenly amused by Ruofei's small appearance, so he quipped: "Yo, then hurry up and get a rolling pin." Give you a squeeze. β
"That's it, where is the rolling pin? Old man?" Zhao Cuiying also followed.
Woo, I was bullied, Ruofei looked at her grandparents with a bitter face.
After eating, Guo Xingwang did not immediately take Ruofei to see the fish, but packed up the firewood placed under the eaves at the back, Zhao Cuiying was also busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, so he rekindled the fire, took dried peanuts and beans from the house, poured them into the dustpan to pick out the shriveled ones, and left the plump ones into the red-hot pot and fried them.
Guo Xingwang stuffed a big tree root into the stove, clapped his hands and then looked at the pot table and said, "Let's go, let's catch fish." β
Because the pot is frying peanuts, there are bursts of fried dry goods, although no one is usually harsh, but they are not used to being boundless, always preparing all kinds of snacks, after all, the environment at this time does not allow, so smelling the bursts of aroma, Ruofei suddenly felt that catching fish and horses was not so attractive.
"When my mother-in-law's pot is fried, I'll go again. So naturally, Ruofei refused to leave, obviously wanting to stay and try it.
Zhao Cuiying, who was frying peanuts, couldn't help laughing, and scolded Ruofei with a smile: "Little glutton, this peanut can still run, and when you come back from catching fish, isn't it the same to eat?"
Suddenly, Ruofei was a little embarrassed, is she so obvious?
"Let's go, if you don't go, you'll be gone." Guo Xingwang couldn't help laughing, to say that they weren't like this when they were children, and they were most looking forward to eating something good for the New Year, but he hadn't been liberated when he was a child, where was there anything good to eat, it would be good to have a full meal.
Thinking of this, Guo Xingwang felt that his granddaughter was reincarnated in a good era, and it was really good that she didn't have to suffer from them.
Ruofei didn't bother much, got up and followed Guo Xingwang and left, anyway, these foods were fried, and grandma wouldn't give her food, she really didn't need to be so impatient.
In this way, the grandparents and grandchildren changed their shoes and went out of the house, saying that they were going to catch fish, but in fact, they didn't really want to go into the water, after all, the water in the pond was gone, as long as you went to the silt and you picked up the small fish that leaked, these small fish are not counted in the public, and generally whoever picks them up is who's family.
In fact, there are not many such small fish, if it is said to catch fish, it is better to have fun.
When I arrived at the pond, the water in the pond was almost drained, and the fish in the pond had been fished with a net several times before, mainly to beat up the big fish, and when the water dried up, there was not much left in the pond.
Because there is less water, the fish in the pond are all gathered at the bottom of the pond, one by one, revealing their black backs, desperately trying to retain the last bit of living space.
There is silt at the bottom of the pond, so there are also some small crucian carp and trash fish hiding in the silt, so there are already children and some adults who love to join in the pond to catch small fish.
"Xiaofei, do you want to go down to catch fish?" Guo Xingwang saw that there was not much water left, and the person in charge of catching fish was already using a net to catch the biggest fish, so he asked Ruofei on the side.
Originally, he came to catch fish, Ruofei naturally nodded, and replied excitedly: "I'm going, I'm going." β
So Guo Xingwang hugged Ruofei and put it at the bottom of the pond bank, there was not much silt near the shore, but there was a layer of sand cushioning, which was no different from stepping on the ground, but there were no fish in such a place, at most there were some snails.
Ruofei walked across the sand towards the slippery silt, and when she was at home, she changed her rain boots, and it didn't matter much if she stepped directly into the mud, but she was small, and the rain boots were naturally not too deep, so the places she could go to were limited.
In this winter, it is inconvenient to wash things, Ruofei doesn't want her grandmother to wash her shoes in the winter, so she is extra careful when she leaves, for fear of stepping on a deep place and soiling her clothes and shoes.
Where can I catch fish in this way, Guo Xingwang on the shore saw it, and couldn't help but be anxious for her, pointing to a small puddle and shouting at her: "Xiaofei, ahead, there is a crucian carp in the puddle in front, catch it quickly." (To be continued.) )
