Chapter 24: Grilled shrimp

After speaking, she smiled and said to Mu Lang: "Let's go, let's go home and cook!" ”

"Well, go home and cook," Mu Lang nodded with a smile, holding the eldest sister with one hand and the second sister with the other, and went home together.

The onlookers all stood in place, looking at the backs of their three sisters and brothers. I only feel that what Mu Xiang said just now is very reasonable, but I can't tell where the truth is. Only Comber, touching his beard, smiled appreciatively.

Caiyun looked at her sister in a trance, and her little face was full of worship.

Mu Xiang looked at her appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "Just ask whatever you want, don't be suffocated." ”

Caiyun lowered her head embarrassedly and whispered: "Eldest sister, I think you are different from before, you can fight, and you can talk about big truths, as if you have gone to school!" ”

Mu Xiang smiled slightly, looked at the field in the distance, and said softly: "People are good at being bullied, horses are good at being ridden, this kindness is also scored against whom, on what occasion, if we don't pursue it today and let Liu Erdan go, he will definitely bully us Mu Lang even more in the future, let alone his mother, that is a troublesome spirit who is unforgiving, if she is not stopped, she will have to come to our house to make trouble when she turns back, so how can we live?" I have to annoy her to death, now it's okay, I'll subdue her in front of everyone today, and no one will dare to bully us in the future. ”

Caiyun's eyes flashed into the little star when he heard this, and he muttered: "Eldest sister, when can I say so many big truths like you, and I can protect Mu Lang in the future!" ”

Mu Lang was suddenly unhappy, and stopped in front of them very solemnly, "No, I am the one who protects you, when I grow up, when I become a man, I can protect you!" ”

Mu Xiang and Caiyun's eyes oozed tears of emotion. Caiyun rubbed his eyes and said loudly: "Yes, yes, you are a man in our family, a pillar, and when you go to school, you have to study hard and make a name for yourself!" ”

"Well, study hard," Mu Lang nodded heavily, at a young age, he was innocent everywhere, but at this moment, that oath was engraved into the bone marrow, no matter what kind of wind and rain they had to go through in the next few decades, he was the umbrella of the eldest sister and the second sister.

Mu Xiang looked at Caiyun, and suddenly said: "If you make enough money next year, I will also send you to school, although my daughter's family can't take the fame test, but read some books and know Braille, no matter what you do in the future, it will be more convenient." ”

Caiyun was startled and waved his hand, "I'm not going to school, I'm leaving, how can you be at home alone, it's better to work!" ”

The three of them had already walked home, Mu Xiang pushed the door and said: "That's what I think, as long as you make enough money, I will send you there, so that you can still look at Mu Lang, otherwise he will go to school in the neighboring village alone, you and I are not at ease, forget it, don't mention it in advance, it's still early, besides, you have to wait for the eldest sister to earn enough money, otherwise how can you have the money to tie you two!" ”

Caiyun smiled and nodded, "Let's not mention it yet, let's get the house done together." ”

At noon, Mu Xiang kneaded the dough, rolled out simple noodles, and used the soup of leftover pork belly from yesterday to eat below, which was also delicious and delicious.

In the afternoon, Mu Xiang took a machete to cut a few bamboos in the bamboo forest, because he thought of what Wang Xi said, he would come to make adobe in the afternoon, and he had to prepare some more vegetables. She was in a hurry to make a shrimp net, thinking about catching some fish and shrimp.

The shrimp net is also very simple to make, there is an endless amount of bamboo in the bamboo forest, choose a thick one to make a pole, and then split a few thin ones to tie the fishing net she bought yesterday. The shrimp net made is shaped like a semi-circular pocket, and when it reaches the edge of the small ditch, turn the net over, the mouth is facing down, and the shrimp net is stretched out far away with a pole, and after it is put down, it is slowly dragged back. Although you can't fish far away, it's definitely easy to use in a small ditch and a small river.

Mu Lang looked at the things that the eldest sister made up with strange eyes, and even Caiyun came up curiously to see, she said, there are also people in the village who go to catch small fish and shrimp, but they all wait until the time to release the water, take the bamboo net filter, those small ones don't want to eat, they just need the big ones, the small ones are not eaten, especially the shrimp, they are all shells, and the people in the village don't like to eat shrimp.

Mu Xiang thought about it, it's good to pour it this way, shrimp is a good thing, go back and get some back, and supplement calcium for Mu Lang and Caiyun.

Lunch was early today, and it was very hot at noon, Mu Xiang guessed that Wang Xi would not come so early, so he thought about carrying the shrimp net and going to the small ditch in the pond behind, not far away, if he came, he could find it as soon as he looked for it.

Seeing that the sun was very big, she asked Mu Lang not to go, Caiyun was also at home, she went as soon as she went, carrying a bucket in one hand and a shrimp net in the other, just right.

But Mu Lang doesn't do it, and Caiyun doesn't do it.

Knowing that she was going to pick shrimp behind the house, Mu Lang carried the shrimp net first, and Caiyun also carried the bucket, and the two scrambled to climb over from the broken wall to the back.

Mu Xiang smiled and shook her head, so she had to lock the door at the end, and when she walked to the broken wall, she suddenly looked up at the courtyard gate facing the main road, which was the door facing north, but it was also in the same direction as the door of the mansion. Anyway, this broken courtyard wall needs to be repaired, so it is better to simply reopen a door, seal the original door, open from the broken wall, facing the east, not far away is the bamboo forest, and the right side is close to the back of the house is the vegetable garden, and it is convenient to come and go.

The more she thought about it, the more it made sense, and she still planned to turn back and rebuild the gate, and cut some bamboo to make a fence, so that she could clean up the open space on the right side of the courtyard wall and the vegetable garden, and go back and plant some flowers and plants.

The verdant and neat bamboo forest in the distance, the green vegetable garden around it, the pond and the river at the door of the house, no matter how you look at it, it is a picturesque beauty.

Mu Xiang thinks happily, and the shrimp is even more cheerful.

Now is the season of rice heading, everyone is busy in the field, and the fish and shrimp in this ditch are very happy.

Mu Xiang went down the net, and when he slowly lifted it up, he looked at the scene of joy in the net, and his heart was full of excitement. In the past, Mu Xiang only cared about going to the town to work as a helper, but he didn't understand that the most valuable wealth was actually in the fields.

Caiyun was the busiest, she carried the bucket, and Mu Xiang fished it up, so she ran up to pick it up.

Mu Lang was also very happy, catching a big red crayfish for a while, and busy catching turtles for a while. Mu Xiang remembered that in the restaurants in her previous life, there were turtles for sale, and they were still Chinese medicine, but she didn't dare to catch them and eat them as dishes, so she could just play with Mu Lang.

The crayfish caught in the ditch are mostly crayfish, the crayfish in this season, it is the time to give birth, the crayfish are quite old, not very delicious, but you can peel the shrimp shell and dry the shrimp meat.

In addition to crayfish, there are mostly rice shrimp with transparent shells, and of course there are some loaches, goya fish, and small crucian carp, all of which are long.
