Chapter 008: Banker
The soft white sunlight brings a trace of temperature through the thin spring mist, and the village of Lizhuang on the riverside is shrouded in the morning mist, quiet like a light ink dyed painting.
Ye Tingyao got up early in the morning and prepared fishing tools and baskets with Xiaoyue outside the house.
Looking at the sparkling Anqu River not far away, Ye Tingyao asked, "Xiaoyue, how many fatty fish are in the Anqu River, can they be caught every day?" ”
Yesterday, I caught four fat mandarin fish, which made Ye Tingyao taste the sweetness.
Xiao Yue thought for a while, "There are all kinds of fish, but only the fish in early spring are easier to catch, and there will be fewer and fewer fatty fish, and after the peach blossoms are gone, there will be no fatty fish in the river." Even now, there are fishermen in the upstream and downstream who use large boats to circle fish, they have big nets and long forks, and when they catch them, they will send them to the restaurants in the city. ”
Ye Tingyao nodded, the fish and shrimp were extremely fat after a winter of frozen rivers, and the fishermen naturally rushed to catch them. She knows a little about the habits of mandarin fish, which will go to shallow water to feed in the early spring morning, and when the sun comes out, they will inhabit the stone caves or aquatic plants at the bottom of the water.
Aunt Mo's fishing tools are homemade, very simple, catch some shallow water fish and shrimp, and the fat mandarin fish at noon is not to think about it.
Ye Tingyao said seriously, "Xiaoyue, let's go fishing earlier these days, we can't finish eating dried fish, dried fish can eat all seasons, and we can pick some peach blossoms back when we are free, and we can make peach blossom water." ”
"Good!" Xiao Yue was particularly in favor of Ye Tingyao's suggestion.
"Yaoyao, the dew is wet and cold in the morning, why don't you sleep more."
Ye Tingyao turned her head and saw Aunt Mo walking towards her, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyue and I are going to go fishing in a while, and the fatty fish have to be caught early in the morning, and they won't be caught if it's late, so I hurry up to make the meal early, and Uncle Mo and they will go to the village after eating." ”
Aunt Mo stepped forward to take the harpoon from Ye Tingyao's hand, and said with concern, "Your body is delicate, and the rough work will be done by Aunt Mo and Xiaoyue in the future, you can rest well." ”
Ye Tingyao shook his head, "Uncle and Aunt Mo are my lifesavers, if it weren't for you, I would have either drowned or frozen to death in the Anqu River." I have been taken care of by you, I have no other skills, I can only cook some food, help with some ordinary housework, if Aunt Mo doesn't even want me to do this little thing, I really don't have the face to eat and drink in my aunt's house for nothing. ”
Aunt Mo sighed when she heard this, "Hey, you must be angry because of what Uncle Mo said yesterday, and your Uncle Mo is also pitiful and distressed." In fact, Aunt Mo knows that you are more difficult than Qi'er, although Qi'er was also soaked when she was rescued, but it was spring, and you were a man with strong bones, but Yaoyao, you fell into the river with ice slag floating in the winter...... If it is not good to give birth to and raise, it will be troublesome to fall into the root of the disease. ”
Aunt Mo looked at Ye Tingyao's slightly pale face due to weakness, and was quite distressed, thinking that she wanted Uncle Mo to go to the town to buy some meat again, so that Yaoyao could eat better. Yaoyao is beautiful and capable, and it will be excellent to really follow Dongzi in the future.
While he was talking here, Mo Qi walked out with square steps, greeted Aunt Mo and Xiaoyue, and glanced at Ye Tingyao casually, "Fishing?" At noon, another dish of squirrel mandarin fish is burned. ”
Ye Tingyao didn't raise her eyebrows, "Look at the mood, do you really go to the village?" ”
Mo Qi walked to the kitchen, "If you don't go, you can't afford to eat the food you cook." A fish costs five taels of silver, uh-huh, you can eat a money house. Mo Qi muttered quietly, "I really think I am the imperial chef." As he spoke, he entered the kitchen, his eyes rolled around, and he looked at Ye Tingyao for breakfast.
Ye Tingyao didn't want to worry about Mo Qi early in the morning, so as not to get angry, packed up the harpoon, ate a bowl of porridge with Xiaoyue, and went fishing after two pieces of mille-feuille shortbread.
At the end of the day, Mo Qi also went to the village with Uncle Mo and Dongzi, and Uncle Mo took Mo Qi to greet the farmers in the village.
The uncle, aunt, eldest brother and eldest sister on the ridge were shocked when they first saw Mo Qi, and the eldest sister also gave Mo Qigen a cooked corn cob, Mo Qi was going to refuse, because he brought Mo Yao's mille-feuille cake to make snacks, but he didn't want the eldest sister's face to be red, and he threw the stick three steps away and ran away.
Aunt Jiang next door to Uncle Mo stepped forward to greet with a look of surprise, "Uncle Mo, this must be a distant relative of your family who has suffered, I saw a girl named Yaoyao yesterday, who looks very similar to this brother, with handsome facial features and a handsome face, it is simply out of a mold, it should be a brother and sister." ”
Mo Qi's face twitched, the corners of his mouth trembled violently, and he couldn't get angry, "You just came out of the same mold with her, and your whole family came out of the same mold with her." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Jiang's mouth couldn't close when she smiled, and her face could bloom, "Oh, this brother has a sweet mouth, and he can talk as likable as Miss Yaoyao." Your Aunt Jiang and my grandson have it, and when you are old, even if your daughter-in-law is rough, she can't compare with Yaoyao. ”
Mo Qi's face was as black as charcoal, and he was counting on Uncle Mo and Dongzi to come out and clarify that he had nothing to do with Mo Yao, but Mo Dongzi stepped forward and said, "Aunt Jiang has good eyesight, Yaoyao and Qi'er are not brothers and sisters, distant relatives of our family." ”
"I understand, I understand you Aunt Jiang." Aunt Jiang squeezed her eyebrows at Mo Dongzi, "That girl is really good, you stinky boy, you are so blessed." ”
Mo Dongzi smirked, and Mo Qi was inexplicably beside him.
"I'll go back to my field, so you can get busy first." Aunt Jiang patted Mo Dongzi, turned around and left, and didn't forget to glance at Mo Qi, and muttered regretfully, "Why don't we have a lovely girl in our family, or recruit a handsome brother to come back." ”
"Let's go, we will finish our work early, and we won't go back at noon, but we have to rush back in the evening to eat the hot soup and hot dishes made by Yaoyao." Uncle Mo waved his hand and called the two to go to the field together.
Uncle Mo looked at the few acres of land he was responsible for, and finally worried that Mo Qi would be tired of him as soon as his body recovered, so he thought about it and picked up the simplest job for him to do, "Qi'er, you first remove the weeds in this land, if you are tired, go to rest under the big tree, there is water and mille-feuille in the basket, you can eat as much as you like." ”
Mo Qi looked at the greenery, and a fire lit up in his heart, someone said that he was not diligent in his limbs, and he had to prove it to her, let her know how capable he was, and then make a table of food to apologize to him.
Uncle Mo and Mo Dongzi went to another piece of land to bury seeds, leaving Mo Qi alone, and the vegetable seedlings in this field have grown, but they are just to remove some weeds and eat budworms, and Uncle Mo can't think of anything to worry about.
Mo Qi buried his head in the work, this work was too easy for a practitioner like him, but in half an hour, Mo Qi finished removing this land.
Mo Qi straightened up and hammered his waist, and saw Uncle Mo and Dongzi facing the loess with their backs to the sky from a distance, and couldn't help but feel that farm work was indeed not easy.
A piece of land next to it belongs to the Zhang family, and the younger brother of the Zhang family is also weeding, Mo Qi thought of the villagers in his hometown, and decided to come forward to help, and he didn't squeak, walked through the ridge, and worked hard again......
