Ying Fang understood after a little thought.

Cangzhu is young, and he runs around playing with the two dogs, and he won't say anything even if he is seen. But Widow Li lost her husband at an early age, as the saying goes, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and if she can not come out when it is dark, she will not come out, so as not to be seen and pointed at and gossip.

Just thinking of what Cangzhu said, Mrs. Shu had also troubled Widow Li after she left, and she couldn't help frowning.

Shu Jianqiang knew what Widow Li meant, and she didn't notice it before joining the army, and she had a quarrel with Mrs. Shu at that time. I didn't think that half a year had passed, and this matter was not over.

"It can't be over, unless Shu Guigui's father marries a new daughter-in-law and enters the door. However, everyone is spreading that the reason why Grandma Shu Guigui disagrees is mainly because she thinks it costs money. Hey, I won't let my mother marry someone like that. Anyway, my mother has no plans to marry for the time being. ”

"It's a big ghost!" Ying Fang pinched his face.

Ergouzi patted his chest on the side and came up with an idea: "Cangzhu, you don't have to be afraid, Grandma Shu is precious and looks fierce, in fact, it is useless, there will only be one move every time, that is, lying on the ground." The people in our brigade are not surprised. Now Sister Shu Guigui has also entered the cowshed, and she looks down on her even more. In the future, if she dares to come to trouble you again, you will use this matter to scare her and kill her! Many bad people bully the weak and fear the hard. ”

Ying Fang was helpless and funny: "Okay, let the adults worry about this, you guys can play, don't stay too late, remember to send Cangzhu back when it's almost over." ”

"Okay, Sister Fangfang, don't worry!"

After sending off a few children, the chatter of men and women after tea and dinner also came to an end.

Except for the older ones who were helped back to sleep, everyone else took a hand, and soon the yard was tidy and the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned. It really fulfilled the sentence: there is great power in numbers.

The next day, Widow Li really came over with Cangzhu. Send Cangzhu to Yingfang's mother's house first, and the two dogs are already waiting for Comrade Xiao Li to teach military physical boxing.

Widow Li carried a basket of dumplings with rice noodles and dried tofu stuffing in her left hand, and a bucket of loaches in her right hand, knocking on the courtyard door of Yingfang's house.

"Yesterday the baby came back and said that your family likes to eat loaches and yellow eels, and I just caught a few in the ridge next to the canal. The dumplings are pinched with rice flour, and the rice is last year's aged rice, but the flour is freshly ground a few days ago, and the stickiness is okay. Dried tofu was bought on the baby's birthday last month, and the tofu ticket given by the fat aunt was bought, and a few rice noodle dumplings were made, and I don't know if you like to eat it or not. ”

Ying Fang hurriedly said: "I definitely like it, I love dim sum made of rice noodles." He took the bowl of dumplings and took a big bite of it.

Jiang Xinrou has listened to several aunts and sisters-in-law who have a good relationship with her daughters in the past two days, and she has a good impression of Widow Li, so she invited Widow Li to sit down with a smile, and asked her if she had breakfast, and if she didn't eat, she would eat together. Just as they were about to start eating, it was the old man's side, and my husband, who had walked around the village in the morning, came back and said that he had finished eating before six o'clock.

"Eat and eat, this baby said that she would gather at six o'clock to report, and she got up before half past four and urged me to make a fire to cook. Widow Li said with a shy smile.

Jiang Xinrou brought her a chair, left her to chat for a while, and finished loading a three-foot navy blue cloth for her as a return gift.

Widow Li refused to accept it at first, Yingfang persuaded Cangzhu to start smoking, it was time to sew him a new pair of pants, otherwise it would be cold and hang high on his feet and neck, and the biting cold wind would blow, how could he stand it. Widow Li accepted it.

After Widow Li left, Jiang Xinrou looked at the small half bucket of loaches and couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't see the specific life of the villagers, and I got rid of the production and labor of leaving early and returning late, just looking at the green mountains and smelling the fragrance of wild flowers, I felt that the days in the countryside were quite pleasant. After experiencing working in the fields, not seeing fresh fish or buying fresh meat for three days in a row, and not even being able to eat dry rice when the harvest is bad, I realized that it makes sense that everyone yearns for life in the city. No matter how difficult the days are, the residents in the city have iron rice bowls in their hands, and they have all kinds of tickets every month, and their lives are at least guaranteed. ”

"That's not the case. Talking about such a heavy topic, Xiao Sanye couldn't help but sigh, "Today's policy is still a little tighter for farmers, even raising a few chickens and ducks at home, I don't know what the one above thinks, the implementation of planned economy in the city, and self-sufficiency in the countryside is not very good, so it has to be so tight." When this aspect is liberalized, the good days of the peasants will really come. ”

"Shhh Jiang Xinrou suppressed her voice and glared at him, "Okay, okay, I'm really, what are you doing with this." You have to be idle, kill the loaches behind the house, and keep your stomach for a while to feed the ducks. ”

Before Xiao Sanye came out of his sluggish mood, he was assigned a job by his daughter-in-law, and obediently sat on the back threshold with a bucket to kill loaches.

The old man waited for Xiao Li to finish teaching today's military body boxing, hummed a small song with his hands behind his back, and crossed the stone bridge to Yingfang's house.

Seeing that the youngest son was killing loaches, the wine worm came out - the loaches were wrapped in flour and fried in oil, and the whole delicious side dish was a small dish.

Squatting in front of his son, he asked with great interest, "Where did you catch it?"

"Someone I know gave it to me. Xiao Sanye, who was buried in killing loaches, replied.

The old man was a little disappointed, thinking that his son had caught it, and wanted to ask where he caught it, so let Xiao Li also catch some of it, fry it more, and come to the cup of wine at noon and night.

"It's not easy to catch it, didn't Xiang Jiu'er eat wine yesterday, there are the most ridges on the other side of the canal, and there are yellow eels and loaches. In a moment I took the cage and went to take a look. ”

"Don't do it. Jiang Xinrou finished drying her clothes, returned to the house, and heard the two of them discussing this matter, and reminded, "We are outsiders here, and it is your wish to exchange tickets for some food with the villagers.

When the old man heard that it made sense, he waved his hand: "Forget it, anyway, I tasted it fresh yesterday, and there are a lot of it today, right?" I think it can be fried in two plates, and there are appetizers at noon and night." ”

When Ying Fang heard this, her heart moved, and she thought of the spring pool on the mountain, and the fish in the pool were much fresher than the loaches rolling in the mud. I haven't been to trouble for half a year, and I don't know if I've grown into a big fish.

After all, when the secretary and the president were drinking last night, they said a lot of taboos in the commune, one of which was that there were wolves on the mountain, and they could not go further until they reached the small slope forest.

In the end, I decided not to say anything, and let him catch him when the man came.
