18. Be smart
Chapter 545
Get up early in the morning, first make the porridge of the two people, and then feed the chickens at home, mainly because there is no food, fortunately, the old man picked a lot of grass seeds from the mountains in the autumn, so that he can deal with the bran divided by the team, but the weather has become colder, and the chickens at home are not willing to lay eggs.
"Goo-goo-goo......"
The few chickens that were released saw that there was food in the trough, and they crowded forward to grab food.
Seeing that the hen was squeezed aside by the rooster, she had to take a small stick and beat while shouting, "Don't rob it, there is food, dead rooster, eat so happily without laying eggs......
The old man came out to pour water after washing his face, and heard her say this, and said with a smile, "Girl, let them eat, anyway, we will kill it during the New Year, and it is useless to keep this rooster, let's eat its meat during the New Year......"
She has no objection to eating meat, but she sees that there are really few chickens at home. "Grandpa, why don't you wait for Aunt Feng to help us hold some small ** in the next year, so that we can sell more eggs.
By the way, you went to the team today and brought the eggs by the way, and it's the end of the month, so it's time for our team to send something to the purchasing station. ”
Liang Shouwang patted his head, "Why didn't I forget about this, I'll go over in a while, girl, you go and pack up the eggs, if it's too late, I'm afraid they will set off." ”
Shuilian asked the old man to drink the porridge first, and she took out all the eggs left in the house.
After dinner, I went to the river and washed the clothes that the two of them had changed from last night, and by the way saw how the fish in the river came out.
Not to mention, as soon as she finished washing her clothes, Hongmei and Minghao and their brothers and sisters came over here.
"Hey, brother, isn't that a water lotus, I said why can't I find her, the feelings are over the clothes, the water lotus ......"
The brother and sister of the Wang family came over with a few small cannons, and she also waved her hand excitedly at a few people, "Why are you here?" ”
Ming Hao smiled, "We ate fish yesterday and got a good meal, let's see if we can get it again today." ”
Shui Lian also wondered, "Where did you get the fish yesterday, I haven't found the ice hole after looking at it for a long time, except for the one that was chiseled open on the shore for washing clothes, there is no ......."
Before Ming Hao could speak, Ming Cheng, the youngest son of the Wang family, said anxiously, "I know where it is, Sister Shuilian, I'll take you over ......"
For the younger brother who was anxious to show Xiàn, the brothers and sisters of the Wang family just smiled and did not stop them.
Shui Lian looked at the laundry basin in her hand and hesitated, "Why don't I send the basin home and go back to you?" ”
Ming Hao smiled and said, "No, it's not far, it's in the water depression in the south, not to mention the shallow water over there, and the ice is frozen......"
Since it was not far away, she simply walked to the south depression with the children of the Wang family, Mingcheng jumped as she walked, looking in a good mood.
Water lotus couldn't help but want to tease the little one.
"Mingcheng, was the fish from last night delicious?"
The little guy pursed his lips, and on his thin and slightly frozen face, only the pair of black eyes looked particularly bright.
"It's delicious, it's better than the fish we ate last year, and yesterday our stomachs were full, and the fish was fragrant......"
Look at the little guy licking his lips greedily again, not to mention how cute it is, if it's a little fatter, it's definitely a beautiful little Zhengtai.
Looking at the brothers and sisters of the Wang family, they are not much better than themselves.
Now if someone asks her what the meat tastes like, it is estimated that she can't describe it, she hasn't eaten pork for a long time, when she was in the Wu family, she drank broth during the New Year, and as for the meat, it was not her share.
Minghao and a few of them came over today, but they were prepared, some were holding pickaxes, some were holding shovels, and even Hongying was holding a copy net in her hand.
Looking at the net bag in her hand, Hongying showed very proudly, "This was made by my dad last night, just right for fishing, how about it, my dad is clever, right?" “
Shui Lian smiled and nodded, "Uncle is a clever person, you see that catching a fish once actually made him research a suitable tool, it's really good......"
Mingcheng said proudly, "That's right, my dad also said, I'll use this to catch frogs in the future."
Sister Shuilian, I'll give you thighs when we catch frogs in the summer. ”
Looking at the lovely younger brother in front of her, Shui Lian involuntarily reached out and rubbed his little head with a cotton hat.
Ming Hao saw that Shui Lian's hand diagonally across the basin was red from cold, and he quickly took off his cotton gloves.
"Water lotus, you have to wear this first, otherwise your hand will have to be frostbitten, and you will suffer in the future."
Hongmei also gave the shovel in her hand to Ming Xuan to hold.
"Shuilian, I'll get the basin, you said why didn't you bring gloves out on such a cold day, fortunately my brother's eyes are sharp, otherwise we wouldn't have noticed."
Shui Lian smiled bitterly, "I didn't bring anything with me when I came out of the Wu family, and I guess they won't be able to give it to me, so bear with me during this time, and wait until I have time to make one by myself, otherwise, I can't stand the cold weather on our side......"
When they arrived at the place, the ice cave that Ming Hao and they had dug out yesterday had already frozen after this night.
Fortunately, several children have the tools ready, and they know that they will encounter such a situation.
"It's still our father's expectation, I thought it would be a layer of freezing at most, good guy, this is really enough, brother, you smash it first, I'll shovel, big sister, you take the other people away from me, don't let Bingzi jump."
The brothers of the Wang family were busy working on the ice, but fortunately they were able to dig the hole, but this time they did not see the fish jumping out of the water.
Ming Hao saw that several of them were staring at the fish coming out of the ice cave, and said to them with a smile, "Don't worry, I have good things in my pocket." ”
When Shuilian looked at what he took out, she couldn't help but be happy.
"Brother Minghao, you have prepared enough, you even brought fish food, or your method is high, you have been hungry under the ice for so long, it is estimated that we will have a big harvest today."
Not to mention, today really answered her words, since the dregs of the budding rice cakes were sprinkled into the water, the fish under the ice hole poured over here.
Mingxuan was able to catch it cheaply this time, so he took the net and began to fish hard, and Shuilian and the others were busy picking up fish next to them.
This was the first time she had seen so many fish, who would have thought that there would be so many fish in this low-lying area full of mud, regardless of the size, after all, no matter how small the meat on the mosquito's leg is, it is not meat.
But fortunately, today they are considered a big harvest, there are small fish, and there are many big fish.
Minghao: They dressed the grass that was given to her.
"Water lotus, these are for you, we will take these home to eat, we will catch these today, it is estimated that the fish are full, we will come back in two days." C
