Chapter 7: Brother and Sister

Seeing her brother coming, Erniu's eyes lit up, and she immediately jumped over, "Brother! ”

Yanzi on the side saw Sun Chen and the others coming in, only whispered hello to them, and then retreated to the house to stay.

"Look at you girl, it's not the first time you've seen Brother Achen, what are you doing hiding?" Aunt Zhu couldn't help but sneer when she saw her daughter's cowardly appearance. "Ah Chen, don't care, your swallow sister is like that, she looks like a little family!"

"How can it be, auntie, Sister Yanzi is just a little introverted, but it's not a little family!" Sun Chen smiled and shook his head, "Da Zhuang and I went to the pond today to catch some fish and want to make a tooth sacrifice, the fish made by Aunt Zhu is delicious, I will be here at noon to eat with you cheekily." ”

Aunt Zhu was just looking for a conversation to chat with Sun Chen, but she didn't really feel that her daughter was a child, so Sun Chen's maintenance made her very useful, and the smile on her face deepened.

"Needless to say? Not to mention that you brought so many fish, even if you didn't bring anything, your aunt's family could still afford a meal. Aunt Zhu smiled heartily when she heard this. What do you want to eat this fish? Is it eaten steamed or drunk in fish soup? ”

Now life at home is not very easy, and it is unrealistic to want to make braised fish, because it is too oil-intensive.

"Let's make fish soup! Put more fish, let's even eat meat and drink soup, and save another stir-fry. Sun Chen was not polite and ordered directly.

"Okay, sister-in-law listens to you." Aunt Zhu agreed, and bent down to pick, "Let's use this crucian carp to make soup!" Why did you catch so much? Went early in the morning, right? ”

"No, mother, it only took Sun Chen and me an hour!"

"So powerful? Didn't you let Sun Chen go into the water?! Aunt Zhu only praised them for their ability at first, but when they reacted, they became anxious, "Are you stupid?" Sun Chen hasn't been able to make a good deal yet, this fish is so delicious?! ”

"Sun Chen, Da Zhuang doesn't know that it hurts you, why don't you hurt yourself? If you go into the water before your body is clear, you will suffer in the future, and no one can replace you when it hurts! After saying that her son, Aunt Zhu frowned and nagged at Sun Chen, her tone full of disapproval.

"Oh, my mother-in-law, in your eyes, your son is just a rice bucket who only knows how to eat? I don't care about anything for a bite? Sun Chen is my best buddy, buddy, can I treat him like that? For the sake of these fish, I can let him go into the water regardless of his life or death? Da Zhuang was about to jump up, and kept shouting on the side.

"What can't you do for food? When you were five years old, Lao Jiangtou in the south of the village took half a catty of Jiang rice noodles and asked you to call him father, and you shouted. Aunt Zhu rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice.

"Mother, you are really my mother!" The corners of Da Zhuang's mouth, which was exposed by his mother, twitched, "I have done such a stupid thing since I was a child, but you take it out and say it several times a year!" ”

"If you don't take it out and say it, what should you do if you are stupid again?"

"You old man reminds me all day long that it's hard to do it again! If I'm stupid again, I'm... I'm a mallet! Da Zhuang almost swore to the sky, in order not to let his mother nag again, his eyes rolled, "Look, this is Sun Chen's means for the two of us to catch so many fish." ”

Holding up the fishing net, which was still a little dripping, he proudly showed off, "This is made up by Sun Chen himself, isn't it amazing?" ”

"Hey, it's really a fishing net," Aunt Zhu took the fishing net and looked at it over and over, "except that the mesh is a little smaller, it's the same as the one from Li Caiwang's house in our village, but his family spent two taels of silver at that time and bought it at the county grocery store!" Ah Chen, when will you weave fishing nets? ”

"Uh," Sun Chen was stunned, "that day, when Li Wangcai's Maotou used a fishing net to catch fish, I helped him pull the net, and I saw that the net was tied into pieces like this." ”

"It's still Ah Chen who is smart, Da Zhuang helped him pull the fishing net several times, but only mixed a few fish to eat!"

Sun Chen silently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, almost revealing his stuff, can he say that this is what those boring tutorial videos that he casually clicked on the Internet when he was bored?

Li Wangcai is the only landlord in the Lin family's village, and the fields under his name are more than 300 mu, and most of the farmers in the village, including the Sun Chen family and the Da Zhuang family, not only cultivate their own fields, but also rent their fields. Maotou is a long-term worker in his family, helping to carry water and chop wood to clean the courtyard every day, and occasionally go to the pond to catch some fish for their family to change their taste. Because it is inconvenient for a person to use fishing nets, he will always ask others to help him when he goes fishing, and the reward is the fish he catches. Big fish can be easily caught with fishing nets, and most of the children in the village have helped him.

Da Zhuang helped Aunt Zhu to kill the fish, and Sun Chen pulled his sister to sit on the bench where they had the soles of their shoes.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, do you still feel uncomfortable?" The second girl opened her mouth and asked, although she could see that her brother's face was much more ruddy than yesterday.

"No, I'm fine." Sun Chen was very impressed by his sister's concern, he stretched out his hand and touched her sparse yellow hair, "During this time, you can stay at Aunt Zhuzi'er's house, and I will come back to pick you up when I come back from the mountain." ”

"Brother," Erniu couldn't help but wrinkle her little face when she heard her brother's words, "I've heard Yanzi say that although Uncle Tie Li's hunting is more convenient than Uncle Tie Zhu's short-term work, it is also very dangerous, and she has seen Uncle Tie Li come back covered in blood several times!" We still have a lot to eat, let's save some food, add wild vegetables to the porridge, and we can make do with the autumn harvest! ”

"Don't go brother," Erniu said this, and couldn't help but tremble in her tone, "I." I'm scared.. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Sun Chen patted her on the head, "Uncle Tie Li came back covered in blood all day long, that is because you don't know that most of the blood on his body is prey." If it was really so dangerous, no matter how much money he made, Uncle Zhu would not let his own brother go up to the mountains to hunt! ”

"So that's the case," Hearing the explanation, Er Niu didn't question Sun Chen's words at all, "Then you bring more prey back this time, so that you can get a lot of silver!" "It's a kid after all, it's really coaxing.

"Well, exchange a lot of silver and buy rice and steamed rice for Erniu!"

"Really?" When the second girl heard this, she was even happier. The main crops here are wheat, sorghum and corn, and rice and millet are rarely grown because of the low yield due to soil and water reasons. Being able to eat a meal of rice is an extremely luxurious thing.

"When did my brother lie to you?" Sun Chen smiled bitterly, a meal of rice can be happy like this, "Next year, I will set aside half an acre of land to plant rice, so that you can have a good time eating rice!" ”

"Hehehe, brother is the best! It also makes Yanzi and Aunt Zhuzi's family have a good time! ”

"Of course, we'll all eat!"

The second girl smiled even more cheerfully, leaving only two crooked gaps in her eyes.

"What are the brothers and sisters talking about, so happy, come over and wash your hands and eat!" Aunt Zhuzi's loud voice came from the kitchen.

"Hey, here it is!" Sun Chen and his sister agreed at the same time, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.
