Chapter 312: Fishing
It's New Year, and the village is full of New Year's spirit. This year, the wind and rain are smooth, a lot of grain has been harvested in the field, and every family has divided enough grain, so this year is particularly joyful.
On the day of the New Year, Xiao Fuwen came back to have a meal with his mother, sticking to his daughter-in-law for a while, and then hurried back to the county in the afternoon.
Yuan Si didn't care about him, and when she saw him go, she turned around and got busy again.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is over, there is meat and everything, Li Ende's family killed pigs a while ago, and the old lady specially asked them to leave half a fan of pork for their own family, so that the meat in the New Year is almost enough.
But the Chinese New Year can't just have meat, you have to have some fish or something. This depends on Yuan Si.
On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Yuan Si got up early in the morning and packed up and prepared to set off for the reservoir, taking advantage of the fact that a few fish came back before the old age, and cooked at thirty, but as soon as she opened the courtyard door, she saw a group of people waiting for her outside.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to catch fish? When Li Zhaohe saw his sister-in-law coming out, he began to shout.
"You kid can't be quiet, and if people hear it, you have to follow, see what you're doing. Li Tieshun snorted his son's hair.
Li Tiegang was much more reliable than his younger brother, and said to his little cousin with a smile, "Little Four, I know that you are going to fish today, we want to go with us to help, and we can come back more at a time, do you think it's okay?"
"Sister-in-law, you can let us go and have fun. Li Fangping also came over and pulled Yuan Si's arm to be coquettish.
Yuan Si saw the six people at the door, they were even ready for the carriage, could she still say no?
"Okay, you can go if you want, but you wait for me. "If there are so many people going, then some things have to be put on the surface, so you have to go in and prepare.
So, Yuan Si entered the house for less than five minutes, moved things back and forth to the carriage twice, and only then set off when everything was ready.
"Where did this carriage come from?" Out of the village, the group sat in the carriage, hiding in the broken bedding that Yuan Si took out to keep warm.
"Hey, hey, I know that you are definitely going to fish these days, my father asked my mother to go to my grandmother's house in advance to borrow it. My grandfather was the captain of their production team. Li Zhaohe was a little proud, and this sentence was enough to explain everything.
Now the livestock are all public, ordinary members must apply with the captain if they want to use it, and if the captain's family wants to use it, they don't need to tell others, just apply with themselves, and the captain's daughter can borrow the carriage for several days. But fortunately, there are two horses in the team, or the captain would not have lent one out for several days so happily.
"Sister-in-law, do you know, Li Xue won't go to school next semester. Li Fangping had nothing to do and began to gossip with her sister-in-law.
"Oh?" she really didn't know, but if Li Xue didn't go to school, it would really purify the air, and she would definitely be very happy.
"It's true, I heard my mother say that Li Qiangniang said that she wouldn't let Li Xue go at the beginning of school, saying that there was no money for Li Xue. The little girl is also a little gloating, who makes Li Xue so annoying.
Since Li Qiang was arrested, Li Xue has also been implicated, but she is much stronger than Wang Ya, after all, she is Li Qiang's mother's daughter, plus she is still in school, usually in school, and it is a weekend when she goes home, so Wang Ya was under fire in front before, and she was very little affected.
But now it's different, Wang Ya ran away, Wang Ya's daughter was taken away by Li Yuanyi, and Li Qiang's mother's resentment could only vent to her.
It's all easy to say, Li Xue knows that her mother is angry, and this fire can only be sent towards her now. She can bear it, as long as she waits until school starts, she goes back to school in the county.
As a result, her mother told her a few years ago that she would not be allowed to go to school in the coming year, and let her go home to farm, because the family had a son and no money for her.
Li Xue really cried this time, crying earth-shatteringly, ghosts crying wolves.
Li Qiang's mother is also ruthless, you can cry if you want to cry, as long as you don't cry to death, you will stay at home for me to earn work in the coming year.
In this way, Li Xue kept working at home, and people outside would definitely ask when they heard the crying, and they knew that Li Qiang's mother would not let Li Xue go to school next semester.
"Well, her mom finally did a good thing. Yuan Si commented.
"Puff......" The people in the carriage couldn't help but be amused when they heard her say this seriously.
Talking and laughing all the way, I soon arrived at the reservoir.
"Oh, I didn't expect that we weren't the first, you see there are already several people over there. Li Zhaohe stood up from the carriage and pointed not far away.
"You sit down for me, if your sister-in-law freezes, see how your uncle and grandmother clean you up." Li Tieshun patted his son on the head.
Li Zhaohe looked down, because he stood up, the quilts on his sister-in-law and sister-in-law were also pulled up, and the north poured them into the quilt.
"I'm sorry, I'm excited, I'm excited. You two hurry up and cover it. Li Zhaohe hurriedly lowered his body and put the quilt on the two little girls.
"Really, girls are squeamish. He muttered quietly when he finished his work.
"You're not squeamish, you'll go into the water to fish in a while. Yuan Si said very unceremoniously.
Li Zhaohe wilted in an instant.
It has nothing to do with whether he is squeamish or not, he is a landlubber.
Someone is already here, so they definitely can't join in the fun, so Li Tiegang flicked his whip, and the carriage clattered forward.
When he walked to the front to find a place where no one was, he stopped the carriage under the command of Yuan Si.
"I will go down and cast my net, and you will wait for me on the shore. Yuan Si took off the padded jacket on her body, revealing the black wetsuit inside.
"Sister-in-law, what are you wearing?" The crowd had never seen her clothes, and they always felt that they didn't look ordinary.
"This, my master gave it, and it was specially worn in the water to keep warm. Yuan Si moved her hands and feet, and then carried the fishing nets on the carriage and walked into the water.
"Little Four, you wait, I'll go down with you. "Li Tiegang can swim, and he originally wanted to come over to help, but he can't come with a group of people, let a little girl do her own work.
Yuan Si glanced at his clothes, he also took off the padded jacket outside, and inside was the gown he wore in summer, and it didn't take ten minutes to go into the water like this, and his hands and feet must have been frozen.
"No, there are no fish in the shallow water here, you have to go deeper inside, you can't do it, you will freeze after a while, it's better to be on the shore." With that, she went into the water with her fishing net.
"No, I'm in good health......" Li Tiegang thought he could, but when he walked into the water barefoot, he couldn't speak, and the cool air from the soles of his feet went straight to his heart.
Yuan Si didn't care about her, and when the water reached her waist, she put on the hood as well, and then a fierce man plunged into the water.
Several children on the shore exclaimed in surprise when they saw their sister-in-law drowning in the water in an instant.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law. Li Fangping, this kid was so frightened that tears were about to fall.
The eyes of several little guys kept searching on the water, and after about a minute, Li Zhaohai suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted: "There, there, sister-in-law is there." ”
In the distance, Yuan Si's black head with a diving cap was exposed to the water.
Yuan Si turned around and waved her hand to the shore, and then began to lay the net in the water.
If she was there herself, she wouldn't have used any fishing nets at all, and she could just find the fish and catch them, but now that she has a lot of burden, this superficial effort has to be in place.
