Soon it will be the wax moon, and the house is ready to catch the fish in the fish pond and share it with everyone for the New Year. So, starting this morning, the party secretary gathered people from the village committee and went to Wangjiatang.

At this time, there is very little water in the pond. When the water in the pond is drained, everyone's enthusiasm comes up, and the shallow water at the bottom of the pond is full of fish! At this time, the saliva in everyone's mouth is dripping down.

There is no need for the secretary to command, the big laborers of each family put on long rubber boots and gloves and went into the water, and the big green gangsters, big crucian carp or big black fish were fished up from the mud and thrown onto the shore, and were quickly held down by the big girls and little daughters-in-law waiting on the shore. From time to time, a child happily pounced forward, regardless of holding the fish that was slapping vigorously on the ground, and the saliva in the little mouth was dripping everywhere. At this time, no one in the mother cares whether the children are dirty or not, they are all staring at the fish, and they can't wait to be separated and brought home immediately.

The people of the entire Wang family hut worked together, and most of the morning, the fish in the pond were fished, and even the yellow eels and loaches hidden in the holes by the pond were dug out. When all the fish are weighed, they will be distributed to each family according to their work, and everyone will not have to buy fish this year. Those who have a lot of work at home can still have extra fish to pickle and continue to eat preserved fish in the spring of the next year, while those who have pigs at home can also marinate bacon and sausages in addition to the meat they sell. For the New Year, bacon fried garlic and steamed sausages are delicious and affordable dishes.

Wiping away the saliva that didn't exist, Wang Li looked at the few younger siblings who had been excitedly following her father around the accountant uncle, and then looked at the muddy pond. In the pond, there are quite a few crabs crawling in the muddy water. At this time, there are not many people who like to eat crabs, after all, the local crabs are not big, it is difficult to eat, and there is no such habit, but in the last life, her son's favorite is crabs, every time the crabs are fat, she has to buy them and steam them for her son to eat, and she also thinks that the crabs are delicious.

It's better to wait for everyone to disperse, and then she called Aiguo and Afang Axia to catch crabs, this will be a lot of people, Wang Li really doesn't want to make trouble.

The big guy made a lot of noise, and it wasn't until the usual lunch was finished that he divided the fish.

Wang Laozhuan took the bucket and picked the fish home, thinking in his heart that the largest half-man-long big green bastard had just chopped his head and salted, and he could eat it until April and May next year. There is such a big fish head left, buy two pieces of tofu, stew the fish head soup, and then have millet wine, which is very beautiful.

The child's aunt's family will send two more four or five pounds, and the child's cousin's family will also divide two, and then the baby's mother's family will also have two, and you can keep two for the New Year. When he is twenty-five or sixteen, he will kill one of the two pigs and sell the other, and this year he will be able to pay off half of the debts of the child's cousin's family, and next year life will be better. Well, otherwise, leave some meat and marinate some bacon this year, Aiguo has long nagged that he wants to eat bacon, he didn't marinate bacon last year, this kid hasn't tasted meat for a year.

At this time, he forgot about the yellow eel he ate in the summer and the snake meat stewed some time ago, so he thought that his son had no meat to eat, and made up his mind to marinate some bacon, anyway, when the pigs were killed and sold, the family's debts would not be much, and now the children are slowly getting older, and they can earn work, and they will work hard for another two years.

The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and I couldn't stop smiling on my face.

Although I don't know what my father is laughing at, Wang Li's sisters and brothers on the side of the smile are also laughing. Hey, I'm really looking forward to being able to make every day the wax moon, and every day is the New Year.!

When he got home, Lin Guizhi, who was waiting in the hall, no longer held it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How many fish have you shared?" Is it enough for our family? ”

Wang Mei was disgusted with fishy, stood far away, poked her head into the bucket and looked: "Mom, I think there are more fish this year than last year, let's eat a few more meals during the New Year." ”

Wang Laozhuan picked the fish into the hall before he dropped the burden, and said happily: "This year is a lot more than last year, my son has earned a lot of work this year, isn't it a little more?" Her mother, you rub some straw rope out, let's divide the fish, while it's still alive, send some to relatives, last year I couldn't share much, a few families were too little, and they couldn't take out their hands. ”

Lin Guizhi also said happily: "Okay, I used to eat them, and this year I also let my relatives taste our fish." He casually pointed to her little daughter and asked her to rub the straw rope and said, "In previous years, my mother brought me eggs, and this time I gave her fish to taste." ”

Wang Laozhuan nodded and said, "No, how many things did Aunt Wa and Uncle Cousin bring for the New Year in previous years, and they can't take less this year." ”

Wang Mei listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but interject: "How many fish can we have in our family, send some here, send some that, can we still eat fish during the New Year?" ”

Lin Guizhi was not happy to hear this: "You little white-eyed wolf, in previous years, your mother-in-law gave you eggs and fried meat, and you ate all the fried meat for nothing?" Now I can't give you some fish to eat? In the future, can I count on you to send me something to eat when I get old? ”

"Mom~ I didn't say no, I just said that I should keep some at home to eat for myself, I can't even mix some fish after a year of hard work." Wang Mei saw that Lin Guizhi was angry, and immediately changed her words: "Doesn't this look at the fact that each house has a fish pond, which one does not distinguish between fish." ”

Wang Laozhuan glared at Wang Mei: "Some people belong to others, and it is our intention to send it." ”

Seeing that the little daughter came out with a straw rope, she picked out a fish of about three weights from the bucket, and tied it with a straw rope through her mouth, and began to assign tasks.

"Ami, you give your aunt's fish after eating, Ali gives it to your cousin's family, and Aiguo sends it to your mother-in-law's family. Be careful on the road, if you leave for dinner after delivery, you will come back after eating, do you hear? ”

Wang Mei hummed unhappily, very uneven. Among the three people, the eldest aunt's house is the farthest, there are eight miles of road, and there is no bicycle at home, and they are tired of picking such a heavy fish, how good is the mother-in-law's house, it only takes half an hour to arrive, the younger brother is a boy with strength, what is it to walk more, and let him go to his mother-in-law's house.

This will completely forget that in the past, she liked to go to her aunt's house the most, and every time she went back, her aunt would more or less stuff her food and clothing, and the other two families did not have this treatment.

But she didn't plan to change with her little brother, her mother didn't agree, who let the little brother be her mother's heart.

Wang Li let her parents assign tasks, and deeply felt that the eldest sister was born to her father, and the younger brother was born to her mother, and she was the only one who was selected. The aunt is the best to Wang Mei, and the delicious and good clothes are always only given to Wang Mei; This grandson is the rarest of the mother, there are two eggs, one must be a grandson, and the other is a grandson; My family owes a lot of money to my cousin's family, and I haven't paid it off yet, and every time I go to his house, I am trembling, and I can't even drink a cup of tea.

Knowing that it is useless to be dissatisfied, my parents will not change the plan for gift-giving, Wang Li plans to wait until she is full, it is not easy to walk for seven or eight miles, and it is estimated that no one will stay at her cousin's house, and she has to come back hungry, which is really fatal. I haven't been hungry for many years, and I don't have oil and water in my stomach, so I'm really gluttonous. Moreover, in this way, you can't pick up crabs and cook them. Ah Fang and Ah Xia are still young, and no matter how greedy she is, she will not be able to instruct them to touch the crabs in the cold mud pond.

After eating and resting for a while, the three sisters and brothers each took a flat pole, took a set of fish bags, and left with them. Wang Mei and Wang Li were on the same road for four or five miles, and the two of them set off one after the other.

In the winter, there is no work on the team, most of them are huddled at home, and there are hardly any people on the road. Wang Mei also felt unfair about the distribution of things in her heart, and she was angry all the way, and she didn't bother to talk to Wang Li at all; Wang Li was already tired of Wang Mei, and she didn't want to pay attention to her, so the two sisters walked silently all the way for four or five miles, and they saw that they had reached a fork in the road.

Uncle Cousin's family wants to go to the dam and go to the east of the dam; The aunt's house went west at the bottom of the dam. Wang Mei looked at the dam, and finally felt satisfied that she didn't have to carry such a heavy burden to climb the dam, so she raised her eyebrows, looked at Wang Li, snorted and left.

Wang Li reluctantly changed the shoulder of the flat shoulder and climbed up the dam. In fact, with such a three-story dam, what is it to climb, and it is worth Wang Mei humming her?

Standing on the wide dam, Wang Li first looked around for a while, and then walked slowly. Anyway, when I get to my cousin's house, I put down the fish and go home, so it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later.

Carefully paying attention to the potholes under her feet, Wang Li walked forward slowly. In the previous life, the dam was paved with cement, and where is it full of mud puddles like now, and it is estimated that walking on it can make people feel like they are upside down.

Moreover, she used to drive back, and she hadn't walked for a long time, and she didn't know if she hadn't walked by the dots - there were several houses under the dam, and the intersections were almost the same. This is like walking along the dam for three miles, and then going down the dam, it is Pan Yan, where my cousin's house is located.

Speaking of which, what happened to Pan Yan's girl who was tricked by the educated youth in her last life? It's been so long that I don't even remember. Back then, I was confused, I didn't care about these things, and I didn't know how to inquire. Still, I hope the girl is doing well.

When she was about to go down the dam, Wang Li accidentally swept to the river under the dam and a woman plunged into the water!

Wang Li screamed in fright, and rushed down the dam while yelling for help, throwing off the flat pole and the fish while rushing, and tearing off the buttons of the padded jacket. By the time she rushed to the river, she had already thrown off her cotton jacket, rubbed off her cotton shoes, and plunged into the woman struggling in the river.
