Li Niang walked out of the house and found that her brother and Qingyuan were washing by the well, and they both got up early when there was something to do today.

"Oh, the well water is so cold, brother, you wait, I'll boil some hot water for you to wash."

"No need to burn, waste firewood, we've all washed it." Shubai smiled happily, "Li Niang, hurry up, let's get up the fish and go to the market together." ”

Li Niang was very worried about her brother's health, and persuaded him to rest for a few more days and set up a stall in the next market, but Shubai disagreed, he felt that he was already well, his hands and feet were strong, and his spirit was very good.

"Qingyuan is also very good, I didn't have nightmares last night." Qingyuan said in a milky voice, and asked Li Niang to look at the pigtail that his brother combed for him, and tied an old red rope on the braid.

After washing, Li Niang first boiled the corn paste, removed the fire and left it in the pot to simmer slowly, and the brother and sister took Qingyuan to the bank of the Jinshui River.

The sky was dark, most of the villagers got up to work, there were many figures in the fields, the village woman who slipped away by the river and washed her clothes talked about the shortcomings of the family, Shubai frowned, and took her younger brothers and sisters to make a slight detour, but it also made people see the shadows.

"Huh? Aren't those the three babies of the Mo family's big house? ”

"But isn't it, I heard that Mo Xiaoxiu was sick again yesterday, why do you still have the strength to hang out outside."

"How do you mother-in-law know that people are hanging out, and Mo Xiaoxiu is very capable, in my opinion, he is here to fish."

"Go and go, as long as you Wang Dazui can, when I don't know, Mo Xiaoxiu just put the fish basket last night, and there must be fish coming at this time."

"Hey, these three babies are also pitiful, look at Nali Niang, they are all ten-year-old little ladies, and they are still wearing Mo Xiaoxiucai's old clothes."

"I think what a scenery the Mo family was when Mo Juren was there, hey, creation makes people......"

The chatter of the village women was blown downstream by the wind, Shubai frowned again, his pace quickened a little, and when he reached the position where the fish basket was put last night, he pulled the straw rope pressed under the stones on the shore, and felt dead, and suddenly his heart was overjoyed.

"Li Niang, there is a play!"

"Huh? Are you sure? Hurry up and see how many there are. ”

Shubai pulled the straw rope hard, his sickly pale face was a little flushed, and his anger was a little rough, Li Niang saw that he quickly put Qingyuan aside and then went up to help, and the brother and sister worked together to finally pull a fish basket ashore.

Qingyuan couldn't bear it and waited to the side early, when he looked into the fish basket and clapped his slap and shouted, "There are a lot of fish!" Lots of fish! It's all full! ”

Li Niang was afraid that Qingyuan would fall into the river, so she hurriedly threw a straw rope to pull him, "You come back for me, don't go near the river, you will be in trouble if you fall into the water...... Oh my! Big brother, it really packed a lot of fish. ”

When pulling the straw rope, feeling the weight, Shubai already had a calculation in his heart, at this time he curled the corners of his mouth, and pretended to be calm with his brother's shelf: "Okay, I know, stop yelling, hurry up and pick up another basket." ”

The second fish basket is also full, the fish has no brains, very stupid, smelling the fragrance of heavenly aquatic plants into the basket will not come out, at this time out of the water, this is panicked, but can jump out of the basket is only a few small shrimp on the edge of the mouth.

The two fish baskets are very large, and even the fish with water is about fifty catties, Li Niang is a little worried, "There are so many fish, how to get them back." ”

"Li Niang, don't panic, my brother has a flat burden left, and my brother can pick it up." Shubai's smile became even bigger, and several of his white teeth were exposed, and he took out the hidden pole from the grass, wrapped the lanyard on the fish basket around the two ends of the pole, and picked it up as soon as he tried hard.

Li Niang carried Qingyuan on her back, followed behind her brother, looking at the thin figure in front of her, she was very worried, "Brother, if you are tired, put down your burden and rest, we are not in a hurry, it is okay to catch the second ox cart." ”

The harvest is so rich, where will Shubai feel tired, the heavier the burden means the more copper plates, it means that the younger brothers and sisters can eat well, and it means that Li Niang can wear a beautiful skirt.

In the distance, the village women were all surprised to see Shubai's struggling appearance, and they didn't need to ask to know that Mo Xiaoxiu had really learned Mo Juren's good skills, if it weren't for his perennial illness in bed, I am afraid that the Mo family's big house would have prospered again, and he could earn a lot of money just by burying the basket and raising fish.

In the end, when he was just recovering from his illness, Shubai began to gasp for breath after picking a while, and he had to put down his burden, and Qingyuan also jumped down from Li Niang's back, biting his fingers while staring at the fish basket.

"Second sister, Qingyuan wants to eat fish and fish, and wants to eat shrimp and shrimp." Xiaowa is drooling at this time, and the family hasn't seen meat for a long time.

"Okay, when I get home in a while, the second sister will give Qingyuan steamed fish and shrimp to eat." Li Niang took out a handkerchief and wiped Qingyuan's saliva, her heart was sour, where did she have the heart to make fun of her brother.

Feeling the strength in his body, Shubai picked up the burden again and walked home, even though he was already the fastest speed, he was still blocked at the entrance of the village.

Their grandmother Mo Wang, and the second aunt Xiao Wang, received a message from a village woman and rushed here, Wang came up and grabbed the flat pole and dragged it down, almost fifty years old, the strength is greater than that of the sick and weak scholar, Shubai can't dodge, stumbling and about to fall, so he has to put down the burden and bow his hand, "Shubai asked grandma good morning, good morning second aunt." ”

"What is An, with you unfilial descendants, my wife can't be safe!" Wang kicked the fish basket with her foot, because she was afraid that the fish in the basket would run away, she didn't use any strength, she just wanted to press the three babies in the big house, and in the end the fish had to be sent home to her.

"Look, look, I don't say how many fish I send to my grandmother, I haven't seen a reader like you, and the books are all in the dog's belly? I eat and drink well, and I don't care if the old man lives or dies? ”

Wang's words are reasonable, if someone who doesn't know the inside story sees it, he may not be able to say anything about it, in this era, unfilial descendants will be punished.

The second aunt is Wang's maiden niece, known as Xiao Wang's, she looked at the two full fish baskets at this time, and there was a sound of saliva when she spoke, "Shubai, don't blame the second aunt for saying you, you are really not good, I heard yesterday that you were sick, your grandmother was so worried that she couldn't eat and sleep, you are good, pretending to be sick and not talking, and not saying that you are filial to the old man when you get up to this old fish, hey, this has a mother and no mother's teaching, but it is not good." ”

Shubai wanted to speak and stopped, his face was flushed, he didn't know how to refute it so as not to hurt the harmony and not damage the face of the Mo family, the most important thing for a scholar is reputation, grandma and second aunt said so about him, can he still see people when it is passed out.

"Second aunt, don't spew blood! My brother didn't pretend to be sick, he was really sick, and he got better after taking Dr. Li's medicine! Li Niang felt sorry for her brother, and she was also annoyed that the second aunt was disrespectful, so she couldn't bear it anymore, so she squeezed in front of her brother and looked at the second aunt angrily.
