Picnic (1st shift)
"Cousin, you came yesterday, why don't you say it in advance, so that my brother and I won't be at Grandpa's house, so we can stay and greet you. You are so disgusting that you have a surprise attack. The little cousin of my uncle's family, wearing a pink dress, protested coquettishly to a butterfly that fluttered to Yu Fei's side.
"Yes, cousin, you are so hateful, this time you have to stay for a few more days, otherwise I will be in a hurry with you." Dabao yelled at Lan Zirui. These two brothers and sisters are really brothers and sisters, and their tone and demeanor are actually the same.
"Yuxin, don't be patronizing and laughing, if you don't stay for two more days this time, I will lock you in our house and resolutely refuse to let you go." Yingchun's cousin saw Yuxin standing next to her and laughed, and hurriedly spoke up. Yu Xin thought that she was lying down and was shot. But the heart of this shot is sweet.
For dinner, because a pair of children of my uncle's family returned home, when my aunt and mother made dinner, I made a braised fish, braised pork ribs, and back to the pot meat, and there were few vegetables in the countryside in this spring, so I made a stir-fried vegetables in the evening, and vinegared cabbage, and my grandmother also made a soup with local eggs at home. The staple food is still rice.
This dinner was a meal for the guests and hosts, and all of them had round bellies.
"Girl, the life of our family has caught up with the New Year when I go home these days, it's not better than the New Year, look at these meals? There are chickens, fish and meat. It would be great if this day was like this. ”
"Grandpa, our family's life will definitely be like this, I not only want to make your life like this, but also let you be able to be a group of servants in the future and become an old lady" Yu Xin assured grandpa. But in the days to come, she also made good on her promise.
"Grandpa, have we finished planting our land? If we haven't finished planting yet, we'll all help us go to the field tomorrow. Yu Fei asked her grandfather.
"After planting, planting, coming to grandpa's house is here to play, how can you let you go farming! Besides, grandpa's house is just that little land, and grandpa and your uncle have long been finished. Old lady Ma hurriedly replied.
"The land is now planted, and there is nothing to do at home, or tomorrow we will go out and play as a family." Go out to relax and relax, so that the combination of labor and transportation can lead to motivation. Yu Xin came up with an idea.
"Sister, is it like a few days, go to the canal to fish, and then go to the mountains to hunt some small game, roast and eat, and make the fish into fish to eat." Rui Xi looked at Yu Xin and said eagerly.
"Yes, brother, let's finally come to grandpa's house, how can we do it if we don't have enough fun. The key is that we have a good time back these days, we still have to be busy! Yu Xin attached her brother.
"You little girl, you came to grandpa's house, you don't know how to help grandpa do some work, you want to play. I, your grandfather and grandma are very busy, how can I have time to play with you! Ma Yulan said with a smile.
"Mother's words can't be said like that, always working, no rest, can people stand it? Didn't my sister say just now that she wanted to combine work and rest? "Rare help.
"Yes, yes, a combination of work and rest, then let's go to the mountains to play today. How about Grandpa and Uncle take you hunting today without doing anything? Old man Ma smiled and agreed.
"Grandpa and sister said that work and rest are combined, what she said is not only the two of you are our family, grandma and aunt also have to go together." Yu Fei helped explain.
"Ouch, what about playing with the pig and the chicken together? There's a whole lot going on in this house? Or you can go, I'll stay at home and watch over the house. Aunt hurriedly said.
"Didn't my aunt say that work and rest are combined, there are so many of us, we will feed the pigs and chickens now, it's still early, let's go play again." Besides, how much work can be delayed if you delay for more than half a day? Yu Xin persuaded her aunt.
"My cousin is right, you always work at home and don't have a break, let's just like my cousin said, combine work and rest, let's go out for a day." Ma Yingchun ran to his mother's side, tugging on his mother's clothes and feet.
"Okay, hurry up and clean up the house, feed the pigs and chickens, let's go out as a family and rest for a day." Old man Ma made the final decision.
"Brother, sister, you go to feed the chickens, my mother and aunt feed the pigs, my lord, my uncle and my father, you pack up the things we need to go up the mountain, and cousin, you and I will prepare the things we need to go up the mountain to roast and eat." You see that I can arrange it this way. Yu Xin asked her family's opinion.
"Okay. This arrangement is very reasonable, and it will be done. You're a little goblin. Old man Liu said with a smile.
The family packed up their home and left the village with the things they needed to go out for fun.
Along the road out of the village and into the mountains, on both sides of the road are endless fields, and the paddy fields are leveled, like small mirrors of different rules that have been cut into pieces. And those dry lands or small fields that have not been sorted out are like specks between the connections of small mirrors put together.
The green mountains in the distance, under the reflection of the morning light, are like a girl lying on the side with a veil, like a real illusion, beautiful.
Look at this dream-like scenery and smell the fresh air with a slight sweetness. Yu Xin was excited and sighed. Thank God for not reborn her in a backward countryside where the modern environment is extremely devastation. This can be regarded as God's great love for her.
"Little brother, you can't go into the water, why are you rolling your trouser legs in the water on such a cold day, be careful to freeze your joints, if you get sick, it will be a lifelong thing after you fall ill." Ma Yulan saw her brother take off her shoes and roll up her trouser legs and go into the water. Hurry up and stop it.
"What if you don't go into the water, the fish will jump up on its own." Ma Yuzhu retorted.
"Yuzhu, come and let me teach you, let's put this back frame on one end of the stream first, this stream is a little wide, Rui Xi also bring your back frame, side by side, this is still a little left, the daughter-in-law put the small basket in your hand and block it." The grassroots taught the brother-in-law to put the basket, and the old man and other family members gathered around and watched.
Rui Xi pulled a few cousins and pointed to the other end of the stream, Yu Xin and Yu Fei understood when they saw their brother like this, and the Dabao brothers and sisters looked at their cousin in confusion, full of suspicion.
The three Ruixi brothers and sisters raised the bamboo pole in their hands and walked forward first, about a hundred meters forward. The three siblings stood on either side of the stream, beating the water vigorously with sticks and walking in the direction of their father. The Dabao brothers and sisters immediately understood what it meant. also followed the example of the Rui Xi brothers and sisters, and slapped the water with a stick.
When the Ruixi cousins came to the bamboo basket nearly one meter in front of them, the water surface was churning, and the stick hit the water surface closer to the back basket, the more lively the water surface became, and the back basket was also shaken by the top of the fish.
The big men in the family each grabbed a basket and lifted it out of the water. Placed a little further offshore. I saw that the fish in each basket jumped upwards vigorously, and the back basket crackled when they slapped it, and the fish wanted to escape from the basket and return to freedom.
"Hehe, there are so many fish here, and they are really big enough, but if we can't eat them all today, it's a pity that they'll be broken. Son-in-law, your method of catching fish is really good, but there is a flaw, if there are many people, it is okay to catch more tools, if you only put one or there are few fish, or the water surface is too wide, then you may not be able to catch it! If you plug the water at both ends with mud and splash the water inside, you will be able to catch it safely. Old man Ma was very happy about today's abundant harvest, and at the same time put forward his own suggestions for improving the fishing method this time.
"Dad, you're right, isn't this spring? In order not to get sick before thinking of this method, as long as the weather is hot, of course it is best to go into the water to catch fish, you are always an old hunter, the natural method is more experienced than us and more than us, and the advice is definitely the best. Liu Caogen patted his father-in-law's ass and said.
Thousands of clothes are not worn, and when Old Man Liu saw that his son-in-law was so good, he was also happy in his heart. I am more and more satisfied with this son-in-law of mine.
"Old woman, you and our daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are going to kill those fish, clean them up, and after a while, we can do what you said first is called Huayu." Didn't you little girls just say that you want to go to the edge of the paddy field, what seasoning are you looking for on the side of the field, hurry up and find the ba, don't have it when you want to use it for a while? When the time comes, the fish won't be delicious, and I'll have to clean it up. Yuzhu, a few of us men, go and catch a basket of fish, I also feel the feeling, this fun. The old man happily commanded the crowd to act.
Yu Xin picked some mint leaves, dug up some wild ginger, in the process of digging wild ginger, found a few wild onions also dug with one hand, Yu Xin when no one found out, threw some ginger and green onions into the space. Who made the space only open so much now, and many things are invisible to see. Now I can only use these things to make up.
"Grandma, there are so many fish caught today, our family will definitely not be able to eat them all, you kill those big ones, put them there, and when you go home, salt them, and dry them to make dried fish, which is delicious in winter." As for the blind man, put him there first, and we will eat some of it at noon today, and if there is more, we will go home in the evening and copy it with water, and dry it in the sun, and then it will be a dish in winter. As for how to do it, don't worry, my mother will hand it over to you. Yu Xin finished digging up the seasoning and ran to her grandmother to talk about the storage method of the remaining fish and shrimp. As for how to make it delicious, she will hand it over to her mother at that time, so that her mother can teach her grandmother, isn't it.
After catching the fish, the group went to the foot of the mountain again, and several girls and the women of the family were left at the foot of the mountain to barbecue fish and shrimp. The boy and a few adults took him to the mountains to hunt, and Yu Xin followed the family secretly without paying attention.
