Chapter Twenty-Nine: Fish, Shrimp, Come in Me!
() Indeed, as Zhang's analysis, Tang Jing didn't have the courage, and he couldn't live a hard life, the only way was to marry someone to fill in, but he was sad and indignant in his heart, and couldn't help but cry out all the inaction at one time, the old Tang sent Ma Niang to the gate of the courtyard, and when he returned to the main room, he saw the old woman and daughter crying with her head in her arms, and she was surprised, did she really respond to Ma Niang's words, sighed and asked: "What's the matter, what did Ma Niang say to make you two cry like this,"
Zhang sighed and hugged his daughter and said: "It's nothing, you don't have to worry, my daughter is not about to get married, I am talking to her about some intimate words, after she gets married, she can't come back to see us often, if she is angry, she will not have her mother's support for her,"
Old man Tang was startled at first, but when he heard the old woman's explanation, he said with a little cry and laughter: "I thought something was wrong?" In this matter, if anyone dares to bully my daughter in the future, I will let her four brothers support her, and whoever doesn't go will break their legs,"
When Tang Jing heard her father say this, she guessed that her father was also kept in the dark by her mother, and the tears that had already been collected were even more overflowing, crying in her mother's arms.
Zhang was afraid that the old man would continue to ask, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "Ma's mother is gone!" "This old lady, if she hadn't told the story, her daughter wouldn't have cried so sadly like she is now, and her heart was pinched when she saw it.
"Let's go, I'll send them to the gate of the courtyard, and I won't go back until I can't see the figure," Old Man Tang was afraid that the old woman would trouble the third daughter-in-law after Ma's mother left, so he couldn't help but beat her with words: "This time the incident is over, you also have a long memory, don't make such mistakes again, if you make it again, I won't appease you,"
Where does the Zhang family still have the heart to find Ma's stubble, she didn't answer the old man's words at all, she was made anxious by Ma's mother, and her daughter didn't make trouble for her, so she was thankful.
Tang Qing'er returned to her house, watched her mother come back from washing, cooking in the kitchen, walked up to help and said, "Mother, what kind of person my sister-in-law marries, do you know what?" ”
Li was about to hold the basin and noodles, and suddenly heard the girl talking, and the hand fell to the ground unsteadily, Tang Qing'er helped pick it up, and Li asked, "Who did you listen to?" ”
"Hehe, after feeding the chickens in the morning, I saw the third aunt come to find grandma, anyway, I didn't have anything to do, so I eavesdropped on them, and I accidentally heard about my sister-in-law's marriage, mother, who did my sister-in-law marry," Tang Qing'er really wanted to know the whole story of the matter, and couldn't help but ask the Li family.
"What are you doing with so many questions? There's nothing going on today, so you can go out and play. Li sent Tang Qing'er away in a few words.
Tang Qing'er pouted and went out, originally wanted to find Zhao Yan to go out to play together, but suddenly remembered the dry land given to her family when the family was separated, and wanted to see how bad it was, walking along the river, seeing that there were a lot of small fish and shrimp in the river, she was still childlike for a while, turned her head and ran back to the house, saw her father's shrimp net, took the lightest shrimp net, and went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin, and ran to the small river just now.
There are a lot of aquatic plants growing on both sides of the river, and it is not easy for tall people to see the shrimp inside, like she is eight years old, and her body is not tall, so she can see that there are a lot of small shrimp in the aquatic plants, so she took a few stones and gently placed them on the river, stepped on a few feet steadily, and filled the wooden basin with some water, and moved it to the place where she could hook it.
Tang Qing'er stepped on the stone and gently threw the shrimp net out of the curl, and then slowly dragged it to the shore, dragged it to the place where there were aquatic plants on the shore, and pressed it down vigorously, because the shrimp usually hide under the grass roots.
Tang Qing'er stared at the shrimp net with good eyes, and saw what she had gained from dragging this net, and when she lifted the shrimp net and dragged it ashore, the shrimp net made of bamboo strips was lively, and there were a few small fish jumping over the white fish belly, and the big shrimp and small shrimp kept bouncing around their waists, and there were a few small loaches mixed in it.
Tang Qing'er smiled and picked up the shrimp and small fish from the shrimp into the wooden basin, but the loaches couldn't catch them anyway, and kept writhing, slippery and greasy, and finally directly imported from the shrimp net into the wooden basin.
Tang Qing'er was like just now, gently threw the shrimp net out of the curl, and then slowly dragged it to the shore, and when it was dragged to the place where there were aquatic plants on the shore, she pressed down hard, this time she got a lot of shrimp and fish, after all, she was young, her body was thin, and she couldn't hold too many things, so she carried the shrimp net directly behind her back, and went home with a wooden basin in both hands. Almost twenty steps to take a short rest, on the way to meet a lot of people in the village, all said hello, many people saw the small shrimp in the wooden basin and asked, where is the pocket, they will also go there to carry some shrimp in a while.
Tang Qing'er smiled and told them another place, it was not that she was selfish, but there were too many babies in the family, almost every meal was cakes and pickles, looking at the sallow faces and thin bodies of her younger siblings, she felt that she still didn't tell them, keep them at home to eat, if she was hungry in the future, she would go to the place just now to pick shrimp and replenish their bodies.
When he was about to get home, he happened to see her father leading his younger brothers back, Tang Tiezhu saw his daughter holding a wooden basin, as if it was very heavy, and walked towards her quickly, and the wood and stone had already trotted to Tang Qing'er's side, and when he saw the small shrimp and small fish in the wooden basin, he cheered loudly and said, "You can open meat at noon today,"
Tang Tiezhu walked in and saw the fish and shrimp in the wooden basin and also jumped down, and asked her where she came from, Tang Qing'er quietly leaned on his father's ear and told him: "The shrimp in that place are kept for my younger brothers and sisters to replenish their bodies, and they can't easily tell others." Tell him not to be kind enough to tell the rest of the family.
After Tang Tiezhu heard Tang Qing'er point out other places to the person who asked her where she was carrying shrimp, he laughed, and said that his daughter was smart, picked up the shrimp net from behind her, and carried the wooden basin, and returned home with brisk steps.
Tang Tiezhu put the wooden basin in his kitchen, let Li make stewed shrimp at noon for everyone to eat, Li saw the master in the house with something into the kitchen, so he put on his shoes to take a look, saw more than half of the basin of fish and shrimp was very surprised, thought it was the master of the house, and later heard that Qing'er got it, ran directly to her, to check whether she had bumped into it, since she fell into the water when she was three years old, except for washing clothes by the river with someone, it was easy not to let her approach the river.
Tang Qing'er was changing her clothes, and when she saw her mother Fengfeng coming in, she hurriedly asked, "Mother, why did you enter the house in such a hurry." ”
"Did it hurt anywhere?"
Eh, it turned out that her mother was left a shadow by the previous events, so she was so nervous, Tang Qing'er hurriedly said: "I don't have anything, my clothes have just been soiled by shrimp nets, and I will take it to the river to wash it in the afternoon,"
Li Shi was not at ease, and after checking up and down, he said: "In the future, you are not allowed to go to the river alone to play, not for you to go to Aunt Zhao's house to play with Yan'er, how did you run to the river of our house,"
