Chapter 22: The Little Year

"Sister, come and see, we caught a lot of fish. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Mingsheng excitedly pulled the peach blossoms out.

When they came to the courtyard, Jin Dazhong and Jing Sheng were putting down the wooden barrels they were carrying. Peach Blossom hurriedly ran over.

"You've caught so many fish. Taohuale's face turned red, looking at the fish in the barrel who didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, all of them weighed one or two pounds, there were three, and there was a bucket of smaller fish, some of which were palm-length, and even smaller ones were as big as little fingers, but there were full of small half buckets.

"I thought you were going to the field, and I knew I was going to catch fish. Peach Blossom said, reaching out to touch the fish in the bucket, this is not fish, this is sweet and sour fish, dry fried small fish, braised fish, steamed fish, fish head tofu soup...... Peach Blossom felt like the corners of her mouth were about to drool.

"Originally, I went to the field, and when I saw your eldest brother building a fish pond for the old Shen family, I went over to help. Jin Dazhong said, "Look first, I'll wash my hands." "

"Well, this is all given to us by Uncle Shen. Jingsheng said. Uncle Shen is a widower in the village, and he lives alone on two acres of land and a fish pond, and his small life is not bad.

"Uncle Shen is really nice. Peach Blossom nodded, then nodded her fingers and said, "Let's boil fish soup, steam, and sweet and sour." The rest of the small ones are dry stir-fried. "

"Wow, yes, yes. Mingsheng cheered.

Jing Sheng looked at the peach blossoms with a little smile, he thought of how to eat them, and couldn't help but look at the fish in the bucket with some pity.

"By the way, sister, what are you doing at home? Mingsheng said.

"Ah, bone broth. Peach Blossom quickly stood up and said, "We boiled the bone broth, it's delicious, let's go, let's hurry up and eat." Then he pulled Jingsheng to the kitchen.

Sure enough, this bone broth was delicious and fragrant, and it conquered everyone at once, and Mingsheng almost bit his tongue when he drank it.

Rika smiled: "Fortunately, there is a snack at home, otherwise we wouldn't have this blessing." "

"Just now, the third sister also said that she would make fish soup, steamed fish, braised fish or something. Mingsheng hurriedly said with a big mouth.

Peach Blossom nodded Mingsheng's forehead and said, "As long as you talk a lot, you can't stop your mouth when you eat." "

The family laughed.

These bones have been boiled long enough, and the bone marrow can be easily sucked out, Mingsheng saw that Peach Blossom was sucking the bones, and he also learned to suck it up as if he was doing it, and then his eyes widened in surprise and said, "Wow, it's delicious!"

Is this what you drink? Peach Blossom was speechless, but she still suggested that the family members suck out the bone marrow, which is the most nutritious thing.

In the afternoon, the family didn't go out, Zhang and Lihua rushed to make clothes, Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng cleaned up the fish they brought back by the river, the big ones were first put in the water basin and raised, and then killed when they were eaten, and the small ones were disemboweled, scraped and cleaned with scales.

Peach Blossom didn't know how to sew, so she turned around behind Jin Dazhong and Jing Sheng to watch them clean up the fish, there was a white sac in the fish viscera, and Ming Sheng took the bag and stomped under his feet to play. Peach Blossom let him throw it away in disgust, Mingsheng didn't listen, but took it in his hand and waved it in front of Peach Blossom, and the angry Peach Blossom got up to beat him. Jin Dazhong happily watched the two children play, and Jing Sheng also laughed.

In the evening, Zhang's pickled the washed fish with seasoning, and fried it for everyone at night.

After Laba, a trance, the year came.

Zhang and Pear Blossom also made the new clothes of everyone in the family the day before, and made two thick quilts, one for Pear Blossom and Peach Blossom sisters, and one bed in Jingsheng House.

Peach Blossom looked at the newly made clothes with peach blossoms embroidered on them, held them in her hands, and compared them on her body, but unfortunately there was no mirror in the house, and she couldn't see anything. It seems that in the future, when you have money, you will have to buy a mirror.

Pear Blossom smiled on the side and said, "I've never seen such a love for beauty, it's going to be worn for the New Year, you quickly put it away, be careful of getting dirty." "

"Got it. Peach Blossom dragged a long voice and laughed, then put away the clothes and stacked them in the small wardrobe in the corner. Looking at the pitiful sets of clothes of the sisters in the cabinet, Peach Blossom said: "When I have money in the future, I will buy a lot of clothes to wear." "

Rika shook her head with a smile and ignored it.

On the morning of Xiao Nian, Zhang boiled the salted eggs that had been pickled before and boiled white rice porridge.

Jin Dazhong and Jing Sheng took several large tea bowls, which contained salted eggs, hemp sugar and other tributes to worship the god of the stove. After that, the family began to eat.

After eating, Jin Dazhong was knocking on the broken stool with a small hammer, Jingsheng saw that there was not much firewood at home, so he went to the back mountain to collect firewood, and Mingsheng also happily followed. Peach Blossom took a big broom taller than herself to clean the yard, which was also considered to be exercise, but was snatched away by Pear Blossom and pushed her aside to play.

"Why don't you let me sweep it!" Peach looked at Pear Blossom angrily.

"You'd better play while you're older, it's not as tall as a broomstick." Pear blossom swept the courtyard lightly, and it didn't take long to sweep it clean. Peach Blossom pouted and reluctantly returned to the house.

Zhang was sitting on the couch in front of the window, with a small quilt around his legs, mending one of Jin Dazhong's clothes.

Peach Blossom walked over, took off her shoes, and snuggled up to Zhang, who was doing needlework, and said coquettishly: "Mother, look at my sister, she always bullies me." "

Zhang naturally heard the words of the two, and couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, and said, "Your sister feels sorry for you, isn't she afraid of tiring you?"

"But I also want to do something for the family. Peach Blossom rested on Zhang's lap, and his hand clicked on Jin Dazhong's clothes in front of him.

"If you really want to help the family, just pour more delicious food!" said Rika as she walked in from outside the door, holding a sewing basket in her hand, placing it on the couch, and taking off her shoes.

Zhang hurriedly put aside the work in his hand, and covered the quilt tightly on the pear blossom and peach blossom legs.

"You're still young, it's not good to have frozen legs and feet. Zhang said.

"I know Mother, you have said it a hundred times, a hundred times. Peach Blossom looked up, her body swayed from side to side, and said with a naughty look.

"What does a girl's family look like? Zhang's foot in the quilt kicked the peach blossom.

Rika pursed her lips and smiled.

Peach Blossom stuck out her tongue and didn't speak again, quietly watching Zhang and Pear Blossom mend their clothes and take the soles of their shoes.
