Early in the morning, Huzi walked in with a bag of wild fish from Bohu Lake. Seeing his dusty appearance, Juanzi hurriedly washed his face with a basin of warm water.

Xiangzi smiled at him and said, "What's your arrangement?" Is there any difficulty? ”

Huzi grinned, as if confidently said: "I have transferred two more sailors from the army, and they can go down to the lake to fish in shifts during the day." One is to monitor the lake, and the other is to improve the food for the scientific research canteen. The three secret posts on the shore are equipped with walkie-talkies, and as soon as a living person appears on the lake, the command will know immediately. At night, the sailors rested, and the dark posts were manned twenty-four hours a day. ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he gently stroked Huzi's shoulder with a relieved face, and said thoughtfully: "It's best to let the people who go into the water dress up as Uyghurs, so that they can paralyze the enemy more." ”

Huzi smiled happily and said, "I think so too, so I'm here to borrow a few clothes from Maimaiti." ”

As he was talking, he saw Maimaiti cough twice, and shouted brightly: "No need to borrow, I have a few clothes that I wore when I was young, and now I am fat." He made a funny fat gesture.

As he was talking, he saw the old lady of the landlady walking in front of the door, and Maimaiti hurriedly leaned out and said a few words to the old man, and after a while, he saw the old lady walking in with a roll of clothes in her arms and wet eyes. Maimaiti hurriedly took the clothes, and said happily: "This is worn by the grandson of the old man, and the old man heard that you are useful, so he took out Hemeth (all)." ”

Huzi hurriedly bowed to the old man and thanked him, and the old lady wiped her dry eyes, wrinkled lips, trembled spasmodically, and said with joy: "You are good people, just like my Balangzi (child)." ”

After sending the old man away, Maimaiti smiled happily and said, "My distinguished friends, the milk tea has been sung for you, and the mutton and naan have been placed on the kang, so let's go and enjoy it now, shall we?" As he spoke, he made a beautiful dance move.

After eating, Shoko hurried into the car with only a few fish. It wasn't until the car turned into the canyon and the rugged dirt road left only a cloud of earth-like dust moving slowly with the wind that Shuzhen Maimaiti and the others returned to the courtyard with a loss.

Don't look at Anarhan's young age, he is a good hand at being the director of the house. I saw that she set aside three fish, large, medium and small, and set them aside, and instructed the two women to disembowel and wash the rest, smear salt on the inside and outside, and hang them on a wooden pole in the corner of the courtyard to dry. Chong Shuzhen, who is also serious and professional like an adult, said: "If you dry the fish like this, it won't be bad even if you leave it for a year." When eating, pluck (soak) with cold water first, and then braise or steam it to eat it without being too salty. ”

Shuzhen caressed Anarhan's shoulder lovingly, and said with a warm smile: "I can't see, little Anarhan is still an expert, what's the matter with the three fish left?" ”

Anal smiled happily and playfully made a dance move: "Let my mother Shuzhen cook it in a pot at noon, the fish you cook is delicious." The big one we kept, the middle one was given to the two aunts, and the small one was sent to the grandmother. ”

Shuzhen smiled warmly, and couldn't help but hold little Analhan in her arms.

Hearing that Huzi was going to fish in the lake these days, Anarhan couldn't sit still. hurriedly spit out the fish bones in his mouth, and shouted with a childish expression: "I also want to go down to the lake with Brother Huzi." As he spoke, he pouted.

Seeing this, Maimaiti caressed his daughter's head lovingly, and said in a calm voice: "My beloved foal, you don't have the eyes of an eagle or the nose of a hunting dog, so don't disturb people to do business." ”

Analhan twisted his shoulders in disbelief, pouted and said, "But I have the same water nature as a wild duck, and the sharp knife that Ah Da gave me." With Brother Huzi, I'm not afraid of any kind of water monster. As he spoke, he made an assassination motion. Maimaiti shrugged helplessly, shook his head slightly, and looked at Shuzhen inquiringly.

Shuzhen pondered for a moment, and while sandwiching a piece of fish for Anarhan, she said in a deep voice: "I think so, anyway, Brother Maimaiti has nothing to do these days, so we invite the two villagers to go to the lake to play together every day." In this way, it is also a kind of support for Huzi's work. As he spoke, he looked at Maimaiti expectantly.

Before Maimaiti could speak, Anarhan jumped up from the kang first, clapped his little hands and shouted, "Oh, great, great, we can go to the lake every day to play." ”

Seeing her daughter's forgetfulness, Maimaiti shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm her servant, I can't do anything with her, just do as you say, and the villagers will arrange it for me." ”

As he was talking, the young man of the village bought the two Sur brothers and walked in. After talking to Maimaiti for a while, he turned around happily and left.

Seeing Shuzhen's suspicious glance at Maimaiti, Anarhan hurriedly said, "Those two brothers want to go fishing in the lake tomorrow, and my eldest asked them to bring their mother and sister together." ”

Seeing that her daughter finally stopped talking, she winked playfully at herself. Maimaiti sighed lightly, and said with a slightly heavy expression: "Ah Da, Kurban, who bought Suer, also died with Ganiyaz. It's really not easy for a woman to pull up three balangzi (children). Before liberation, she worked as a servant in the family of Tohutiba Yi (the rich man), and she had never left this village for half her life, so let's let her see the beauty of Bosten Lake too. ”

A warm smile appeared on the corner of Shuzhen's mouth, and she said contemplatively: "They have to have a boat to fish in the lake?" ”

Maimaiti smiled happily and said: "There are boats, there were originally five boats in the village, but two disappeared last year, and there are still three that can be used." Yesterday I already had someone repair it, and tomorrow the boat will be fine with going to the lake. ”

Seeing Maimaiti's relieved and confident look, Shuzhen nodded and smiled, muttering to herself, "Why don't you get the boat to the lake." ”

Anarhan smiled happily and said, "Carry the boat to the lake in a wagon or donkey cart, and then bring it back after use." ”

Shuzhen sighed softly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Maimaiti and said, "You have to get me some of your clothes to wear, otherwise it will be too conspicuous to mix with you." ”

Before Maimaiti could speak, Anarhan jumped up like a cheerful little swallow and said happily: "My aunt has two beautiful clothes, and my grandmother has never been willing to give them away. ”

As he spoke, he crawled towards the red cabinet in the kang. Maimaiti smiled sadly and said, "Her mother only has these two relics left, and Anarhan is very close to me and won't let me give them away." As he spoke, he shrugged helplessly.

As he spoke, Anarhan had already approached him with two brightly colored and well-made floral silk gowns. Shuzhen shook it off and compared it on her body, the length and fat were just right. Seeing Shuzhen's face smiling warmly, Anarhan looked confident, and said happily: "Shuzhen's mother, you don't have to compare, my mother was exactly the same as yours back then, and she must be dressed appropriately." ”

So, on the shores of the mysterious Bosten Lake, a cheerful and leisurely fisherman appeared.
