The next morning, Xiao Man went to the vegetable garden to pull weeds, Liang Xiaoju also followed, the two little girls are more familiar, and there is no shortage of topics in labor. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At noon, Ah Gong came home, carrying a half-foot-long river carp, about a pound of weight, Ah Gong was full of smiles, saying that he met Uncle Man Cang by the river, Uncle Man Cang failed to come to congratulate because he entered the new house on the day, just two fish were loaded in the fish basket, and he gave the largest one to Ah Gong, as a supplement.

Xiao Man happily took the crucian carp, the fish is still flicking its tail, very fresh, at the end of the seventies, the local industry and mining and metallurgy have not yet developed, the mountains and rivers are not as polluted everywhere as in later generations, the water quality in the river is very pure, the fish and shrimp produced must be incomparably delicious, and then add some spiritual spring water when cooking...... Tsk! Xiao Man is dripping down his saliva when he thinks about it!

Crucian carp soup is also very nourishing, make a pot of fish soup out, and the whole family will make up for it!

Xiao Man filled the basin with water, put the fish in the basin and swam around, caught fish with Liang Xiaoju, and specially pulled Grandma's hand to let her touch the fish too, Grandma was very happy, her eyes couldn't see, but her mouth praised that this fish was so beautiful.

He said to Ah Gong again: "A few days ago, thanks to Mancang for saving Xiaoman from the river, we haven't given a thank you gift yet, so why is it embarrassing to accept his fish again?"

Ah Gong stood by and watched them play with the fish, and he smiled and closed his mouth, and said: "I just mentioned to Man Cang, I want to prepare a thank you gift to go to the door, Man Cang said no, he often walks by the river, and the adults and children he has saved don't remember how many, so he never wants to give any thanks!"

Grandma nodded and sighed, "That kid is a meritorious person! ”

"Our family will definitely give this thank you gift, and I will talk about it when I come back from a trip to the city. ”

After lunch, Ah Gong said to Liang Xiaoju: "You have nothing to do here, you are idle in vain, but your family is very busy, I will send you to your house, so I can help your parents do something, and it is good to see your younger siblings!"

Liang Xiaoju was unwilling: "I won't go back! My grandmother has agreed with my parents to let me be the granddaughter of my uncle and grandmother, and my parents agreed!"

Ah Gong said patiently: "I also told your grandma yesterday, you don't need it, the old man's Xiaoman lives with us!"

Liang Xiaoju pursed her lips aggrievedly, and her eyes turned red: "Grandma said that Xiaoman is not a child of the Mo family, and she will leave when she finds her biological parents in the future! My grandmother and uncle are sisters, and I am my uncle's related granddaughter, I will not leave!"

Ah Gong was angry: "You foolish old woman said nonsense, do you also believe it? Xiaoman's household registration is with us, she is my own grandson, this home is hers, she will not go anywhere!"

Liang Xiaoju covered her eyes and cried: "I'm going to live in my uncle's house, I won't go back!"

Ah Gong: "......"

Grandma sat under the eaves and sighed, not knowing what to say.

Mo Xiaoman squatted by the basin to play with fish, a rural custom, a good meal had to be saved for dinner, so he couldn't kill the fish at noon.

Liang Xiaoju was crying over there, but Mo Xiaoman grinned and said, "Grandpa, then let Xiaoju live, you see that we have fish at home, maybe she didn't eat fish, so she didn't want to go home!"

Grandpa and Grandma both laughed when they said this, Liang Xiaoju put down the hand covering her eyes, stared at Xiao Man, her lips moved and she didn't know what to mutter.

Liang Xiaoju refused to go home, and Ah Gong saved the time to go to other villages, so he went to do other things, and as soon as he went out, he didn't see anyone all afternoon.

Seeing the sun set, Xiao Man cooked a good meal, Liang Xiaoju volunteered to slaughter the crucian carp and chop it, Xiao Man taught her to smear some salt and marinate the fish pieces, the two of them dug a piece of tender ginger from the back vegetable garden, pinched a handful of coriander and green onions, and took advantage of Xiao Ju to wash the coriander at the well, Xiao Man heated the pan and fried the fish with lard slightly, added Lingquan water to boil over high heat, and then changed to low heat and simmered, and waited until the soup was milky white, Ah Gong entered the courtyard door.

The smell of fish in the house and courtyard made Grandpa and Grandma full of praise, Grandpa asked who made the fish, Liang Xiaoju replied that it was made by two people, and Mo Xiaoman told Grandpa and Grandma with a smile: In the past, Grandma Liu Fengying made fish and meat, and she watched by the fire by the stove, and she roughly knew how to cook vegetables, and she would mix some ingredients.

Grandpa and Grandma are convinced, what Mo Xiaoman wants is such an effect, after all, he is only eleven years old now, and he can cook delicious and good dishes, there is no reason to look too strange.

Even the fish with soup, a big pot of delicious dishes, the four of them actually ate nothing left, only the fish bones scattered on the ground can prove what they ate at the dinner just ended.

Ah Gong was going to the reservoir after dinner, at this time the sky was completely dark, there was no flashlight at home, Xiao Man was worried about how Ah Gong was going to walk at night, but saw Ah Gong take out an object from his back basket, Xiao Man recognized that thing, it was a glass lantern!

In 1977, flashlights were no longer a rarity, and people with slightly better family backgrounds could have a flashlight, Mo Guoqiang and Mo Ershu also had one, and they went out at night to take a light on the road, which was light and decent.

The glass-covered lantern that Ah Gong took out is both ancient and clumsy, it burns kerosene, and only old people of Ah Gong's age will still use the lantern, instead of saving money to buy a flashlight like young and middle-aged men, and it is very convenient to tie a rope to their bodies.

Xiao Man helped Ah Gong light up the lantern, and the familiar smell of kerosene did not stink, but felt friendly and smelly!

Gongdao Village is located in a very good geographical location, the junction of the two provinces, convenient transportation, beautiful mountains and rivers, there are rivers and rivers and fertile fields, since ancient times it is not a place where people can easily starve to death, because the rivers and rivers meet the conditions, and a medium-sized hydropower station was built in the local deep mountains in the fifties, so when other villages are still lit with kerosene lamps, Gongdao Village has already used electric lights. However, the power transmission of the hydropower station is not normal, and sometimes the power is cut off for ten days, half a month or even half a year, so every household still has one or two kerosene lamps.

And Mo Xiaoman has a soft spot for kerosene lamps because in her previous life, she didn't have electric lights in the places where she slept from childhood to adulthood, and Liu Fengying only used kerosene lamps for her!

Mo Xiaoman carried a lantern to send Ah Gong out, but Ah Gong was not worried that it would be difficult to walk in the dark, so he stood at the door of the main house and talked to Grandma:

"I went to Principal Lan in the afternoon, and Principal Lan said that there was no problem, let Xiaoman go to school at the beginning of the school year, starting from the first grade!"

Grandma nodded again and again: "That's good, say hello, Xiaoman will be more comfortable going in!"

Xiao Man realized that Ah Gong had been outside this afternoon, and it was actually for his own schooling.

I can't help but feel a little sore in my head: do you really start reading from the first grade of primary school?Learn 1+1=?

Oh my!

It's just boring, wasting precious time is a waste of life, no, you have to think of a way, you can go to school, you have to skip a grade!
