Chapter 36: Eating Fish

As expected by Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Chen came back more than half an hour later. In fact, the supply and marketing cooperatives are very close to the Hetao. A highway divides Sanjiatun into north and south parts, and most of the families in the tunzi live in the north, as do the Zhou family. At the east end of the south side of the highway are scattered several families, and at the west end are more than a dozen brick houses side by side with the supply and marketing cooperative, the brigade headquarters and the school. From the supply and marketing cooperatives to Nanshan to take the field road, it is only one mile away, plus the distance from Nanshan to Hetao is less than one mile, Zhou Chen walks back and forth for twenty minutes.

"I came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, first went to the North Wasteland, went around from the back of Tunzi to the east of Tuntou, and then came to Nanshan." Zhou Chen felt that he was slow to come back, and explained to his eldest brother.

"What are you doing in such a big circle?"

"I'm afraid that someone will follow me, and there are several people in the supply and marketing cooperative, and their eyes are green when they see the fish I take." Zhou Chen smiled and showed his brother and sister the things he had exchanged, his eyes were shining, obviously very excited.

Still using the clothes that wrapped the fish, Zhou Chen put everything in the sleeve of a shirt that was not wet, and now he poured it out in an uproar, and Zhou Yang's eyes widened when he saw it, "So old!" ”

There was a pack of matches, not a box, a pack of ten neatly wrapped together, two packets of salt, a large handful of sugar, estimated to be half a catty, and a red headband.

Zhou Chen smiled and watched his eldest brother fiddling with these things, and told him how he went to change things: "As soon as Xiao Gao's eyes straightened when he saw our big fish, I knew that it would be successful." At first, he had to lower the price for me, just wanted to exchange two boxes of matches and a pack of salt, and as soon as I put the fish in the water, two of them popped out, that Huanshi! Jump two feet high on the ground! Speaking of excitement, Zhou Chen made a rare gesture with his hand. As soon as I saw Xiao Gao's eyes, I knew that he couldn't let go, so I said that I would take it home and eat it myself if I changed so little, and he was in a hurry. Zhou Chen pointed to something on the ground and smiled.

Zhou Wanwan peeled a piece of candy very doggedly and sent it to Zhou Chen's mouth, "Second brother eats sugar!" The second brother is amazing! ”

Zhou Chen laughed, kissed Zhou Wanwan twice on her hair and face, and stuffed the piece of candy into her mouth, "You can eat it!" It's all yours! ”

Zhou Wanwan peeled another one and sent it to Zhou Chen's mouth, "The eldest brother and the second brother both eat it, or I won't eat it either." ”

Zhou Chen touched his sister's little curly hair, and his voice was a little low, "The eldest brother and the second brother can eat, but you can't, the sugar is for you." ”

"The eldest brother and the second brother don't eat it, and I don't eat it either." Zhou Wanwan spit out the sugar and wrapped it in sugar paper, and lowered her head to be unhappy.

Zhou Yang saw that the two small stalemates were up, and began to coax Zhou Wanwan, coaxing for a long time, and his sister, who is usually very sensible, was stubborn and said that she would not eat alone by herself in anything.

"Let's eat a piece, and we'll exchange the fish for Nannan in the future." Zhou Yang had no choice but to persuade his younger brother.

"You can't always change it, so that the milk knows that she can't eat anything. Moreover, we always go to change, sooner or later people will find out, these fish will not be kept, I still think that I can let the Nannan eat for a few more days, deal with the wheat harvest, and then think of other ways. Zhou Chen expressed his considerations.

Zhou Yang was ashamed of his inconsiderate consideration, and turned to coax his sister again.

Zhou Wanwan was so blocked by the second brother's words that a hard lump was blocked in her throat, and she couldn't swallow it, and the tears in her eyes didn't fall after enduring. The eldest and second brother were in a very low mood, and she couldn't cry. She couldn't do anything for her brothers, so she had to find a way to make them happy.

Zhou Wanwan took the candy in her mouth again, and went to hug Zhou Chen with her little hand open, Zhou Chen hurriedly hugged her sister over, ready to coax her, who knew that she directly put her little mouth over, and a piece of candy was fed into his mouth mouth-to-mouth.

Zhou Chen was stunned for a moment, and then saw his sister smiling at him with big eyes, "Second brother, is it sweet?" ”

"Sweet! It's so sweet! Zhou Chen swallowed the sugar, and the Adam's apple, which was not obvious, moved, nodded vigorously, and then turned his back, not wanting his brother and sister to see his instantly red eyes.

Zhou Wanwan did the same again, forcibly fed the eldest brother a piece of candy, and ate a piece of it himself. The three siblings looked at each other and smiled.

Now, every day every night Zhou Wanwan has to eat the soybeans that the two brothers chewed and fed, the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family are really accustomed to this kind of mouth-to-mouth feeding, but usually the two brothers feed Zhou Wanwan, but today it is just the other way around, so the three of them don't feel anything.

Even Zhou Wanwan didn't take this matter to heart at all, I have to say that in the face of survival, there is nothing more important than living, which no one who has really faced hunger can not understand.

After sitting for a while, Zhou Yang then went to catch fish, Zhou Chen went to build a stove and collect firewood, and Zhou stayed behind to watch things at night. Although the two brothers turned their backs, Zhou Wanwan still found out, they all spit out the sugar, wrapped it in sugar paper, and secretly put it in the sugar pile.

Zhou Wanwan held back tears and did not expose it. She knew that no matter what she said, her brothers wouldn't eat this candy.

If you want her brothers to eat with peace of mind, she can only make their lives better as soon as possible, at least her rations are guaranteed, so that her brothers will not have so many scruples. So, she must work hard.

Zhou Chen commanded others to be orderly, and he was even more quick to do things by himself, and soon the fish was grilled. With yesterday's experience, Zhou Chen's craftsmanship is more advanced today, Zhou Wanwan learned from the food show he saw by chance in his previous life and said: "It looks delicious~"

made Zhou Yang and Zhou Chen laugh back and forth, rubbing her little curly hair and kissing her face, which made Zhou Wanwan regret a little, the price paid for being funny was too great.

It wasn't until Zhou Wanwan ate the fish, and Zhou Chen teased her with a fish: "Nan, this fish looks delicious~"

Zhou Wanwan listened to the eldest brother's laughter, frowning and losing her temper, "Big brother! You feed it to the outside of my mouth~ "It's over! Momentary negligence, this Hong Kong and Taiwan dialect can't be changed......

The two brothers pounded the ground and laughed again! Zhou Wanwan is almost about to pound the ground, is this Hong Kong and Taiwan accent that will be flooded in later generations really so funny? Do you want to laugh like this?

It's easy to wait for the two brothers to finish laughing, and Zhou Wanwan closed his mouth and only ate without speaking. But Zhou Chen didn't let her go, and came over to ask her after a while: "Nannan, take a look, does this fish also look delicious?" ”

After a while, he came over again, "Nan, second brother feed you, I will definitely not feed it outside your mouth~"

learned her tender minor tune vividly, Zhou Yang squirted out a mouthful of fish next to him, and was so angry that Zhou Wanwan deliberately said: "Big brother!" How can you waste it like this~~" The little tail is long, and the sugar content is much higher than the first two sentences. Isn't it meant to laugh? Make you both laugh enough!

Zhou Chen made his butt on the ground, holding his stomach and laughing speechlessly, Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, laughing and coughing, so scared that Zhou Wanwan hurried to pat him, don't let the fish bones jam your throat!

It's easy to wait for the two brothers to laugh enough, and the six fish that came out of the first batch are cold. Zhou Yang went to the fire to heat the fish, and occasionally snorted, but he still hadn't eased up......

Zhou Chen hugged Zhou Wanwan and kissed and rubbed, and he didn't let go.

Zhou Wanwan was an old monk in a fixed state, he didn't move or speak, he couldn't mess with these two guys anymore, how could it be good to laugh badly.

The Zhou Yang brothers finally had enough, and under Zhou Wanwan's depressed little eyes, the two sat down again and began to eat fish. This time, they caught a total of more than ten fish, sent five to the supply and marketing cooperative, and there were about ten left. Based on Zhou Wanwan's understanding of the amount of food of his eldest brother in his previous life, he couldn't eat enough of these fish, although he was still young now, and he may not have as much food as he had when he was an adult, but Zhou Wanwan was sure that the two elder brothers were not full.

Zhou Wanwan encouraged the second brother to catch fish and eat again. Zhou Chen hesitated, "Leave the rest for Nan Nan to eat later." ”

"And many, many more." Zhou Wanwan put her little arm and compared the four bubbles that were not big or small, and there were indeed a lot of them, and she could put them in unlimited quantities in the future. Today, it's just a matter of putting more in the bubble closest to them, and putting two of the other three meanings.

After getting the eldest brother's affirmative nod, Zhou Wanwan persisted and persisted, "In case it is known by others, it will not be ours, we have to eat more first!" ”

When the two brothers heard it, they also felt that it was very right, and there were many more, and she couldn't finish them all if they were left for her sister, and if they were kept for someone else's, wouldn't it be too much of a loss? So the two of them went to the water quickly, and then caught the fish.

Soon, the brothers caught thirty or forty fish, Zhou Wanwan was a little shocked, although this fish is not big, remove the head and tail, and then roast and shrink, there is really not much meat, but these thirty or forty are really not a small pile......

But soon, Zhou Wanwan was ashamed of what she had just estimated, there were a total of thirty-eight fish, and the brothers ate all the places they could eat, and chewed the fish heads before spitting them out. After eating, it didn't seem to be holding on, and Zhou Wanwan couldn't even be sure if they were full......

These two children have eaten their first full meal in three or four years...... Zhou Wanwan is very distressed, according to what she sees now, has the eldest brother and second brother in her previous life never eaten enough? Especially the second brother, maybe until the last moment, he was hungry......

Brother Zhou Yang looked at his sister's silent little appearance, thinking that she was still angry about what happened just now, rubbed her little head to express sympathy for the gloating, and went to clean up the battlefield. The bones of the fish should be dug and buried, and the ashes that had been burned should be buried. Try to erase all traces of people here, and the brothers can come back to coax their sister with confidence.

Oops! I want to laugh when I see her! The brothers laughed unkindly for a while before walking to the small sand pile where Zhou Wanwan was sitting.

walked in, and the two found that the sister was holding a silver-white thing.

The brothers confirmed it repeatedly before they dared to believe their eyes, this is a wire, a real wire! Zhou Chen was so excited that he was almost incoherent, and after being told by his sister that she picked it up on the ground, he simply didn't know what to say about his sister's good luck.

"It seems to be down there." Zhou Wanwan calmly pointed to the sand next to her, and then without saying anything, the two brothers went to dig the sand.

Without digging deep, the Zhou Yang brothers dug out a small iron box, as well as a bundle of iron wires of different thicknesses tied to the outside of the iron box.
