Chapter 44 The village is busy fishing
On the second day, it was not yet dawn.
Except for the children who were sleepy at home, everyone in the Zhao family got up from the kang early.
Zhao Fuxiang took the three brothers Zhao Shanlin to load the ox cart at home, and by the way, they carried up the fish buckets placed in the shady place.
Liu took Yuan and Cheng to the backyard vegetable garden, took out all the wild vegetables that Li had specially circled, and put them neatly in the back basket.
The crowd stuffed the ox cart to the brim, and there was almost no place to stay, so they reluctantly stopped.
As they were about to leave, Li hurriedly handed the four of them a basket containing home-steamed multigrain cakes and a can of warm fish soup.
"Take it, when it's not busy on the road, just eat two bites to cushion your stomach."
Li reached out to wipe the sweat from his head, which came out of the busy work just now.
The farmer's life is simple, and the food on weekdays is not very particular, basically what to eat.
In the past few days, because of the fishy fish, their family has been drinking fish soup almost every day.
Fortunately, the fish soup was delicious, and everyone drank it for several days, but they still didn't get tired of it.
Seeing that the fish soup handed over by the Li family now, Zhao Fuxiang and the four of them did not dislike it, and they were all happy.
Liu and the others saw the opportunity at the right time, and when Li and Zhao Fuxiang were talking, they all came to their own men's side and repeatedly explained the things mentioned last night.
It wasn't until Zhao Fuxiang came back that several people shut up.
Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Li watched Zhao Fuxiang and the four of them leave home in an ox cart.
Close the door.
She turned her head to greet the three daughters-in-law in the courtyard,
"Go back to the house and call the children to get up, simply clean up, have breakfast early, and go down to the river to catch fish."
At present, the price of fish has risen because of the method of making fish soup, and this is not the time for them to make a big profit, and they can't delay their efforts at home.
With a wave of his hand, Li asked his three daughters-in-law to hurry back and call someone, while she herself turned her head and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Scooping some corn out, Li simply scooped it up, then added water and vegetables, and stewed a pot of rough vegetable porridge in the clay kettle at home.
The iron pot was not idle, poured last night's fish soup into it to heat it up, and pasted a few hard multigrain cakes along the surrounding circle.
In less than two quarters of an hour, this simple breakfast was made.
Bring the food out and serve it to the table in the hall.
The quiet courtyard also began to have the noise of children.
Zhao Yu yawned, rubbed her eyes, and walked behind her mother in a daze.
She woke up early in the morning, and she hadn't woken up yet.
There were three wooden basins placed next to the well, and Yuan Shi brought a bucket of well water up and added a scoop to each of them.
Squatting down honestly, Zhao Yu's hands were raised suddenly, and the cold well water touched the little face that was not yet awake, making her whole person sober up instantly.
Hiss!
It's really sour!
Without a toothbrush, the sober Zhao Yu could only rinse his mouth simply with water.
Then, she got up, pulling a small doll in one hand, and the three sisters and brothers entered the hall next to them according to Yuan's instructions.
Li Shi was holding a stack of chopsticks in his arms, and when he saw the three little radish heads stunned, he hurriedly said, "Don't stand, find a place to sit." ”
Zhao Yu pulled the two small ones to sit down.
Li put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and placed them in front of them, "Stay honest, and when everyone arrives, you will eat." ”
There was already food on the table, and Li was worried that the children would eat first, so he opened his mouth to warn him.
Zhao Yu nodded again and again after hearing this, reached out and took the dishes and chopsticks in her grandmother's hand, sorted them out, and put them in front of Zhao Xia and Zhao Mingteng.
After a while, Zhao Dongmei led Zhao Dongxue in, followed by Liu.
Liu also held a wooden basin in his hand.
Zhao Yu was curious, and couldn't help but glance, only to see the black thing in the wooden basin.
What is it?
Zhao Yu was curious, so he saw Liu on the side and opened his mouth directly,
"Mother, you can eat the pickles at home, I'll clip some out, you can taste it."
Liu said, placing the wooden basin in his arms in the center of the dining table, and the black and shapeless thing in the wooden basin was facing Zhao Yu's sight.
Zhao Yu......
Zhao Yu couldn't say anything.
Li Shi was very happy, she looked at it, directly picked up a pair of chopsticks from the wooden basin and put it in her mouth to taste it, smacking her lips, "Yes, the taste is salty and fragrant, this time it is good." ”
When Liu heard this, she smiled brightly, this pickle was made by herself, and the ratio of raw materials used was also pondered by herself.
Li's words are an affirmation of her craft.
In the past two years, Dongmei has grown up, and she is worried about what to teach Dongmei, and now this pickle is not a serious craft.
Cheng and Yuan came in together.
followed by Zhao Chunhua's three children.
"Cheng, you belly," Li noticed Cheng's pale face and frowned, "Go down to the river to fish today, you don't have to go, rest at home." ”
"Mother, I'm fine," Cheng sat down on the table, raised the back of his hand to wipe the sweat beads on his head, and whispered slowly, "I just accidentally pulled it when I came out, just rest and rest." ”
Li Shi looked at the other party's expression, and finally shook his head, "No." ”
She wasn't at ease.
"Mother, I" Cheng bit his lip and wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Li's voice,
"The river is cold, your body is heavy, and you can't stand it if you soak it for a long time."
"And this river is very chaotic, there are people everywhere, and when we are busy, no one can take care of you."
"That's it, you stay at home, there is dried fish in the yard, and there can't be no one."
Cheng ......
"Then, I'll listen to my mother and stay at home."
Cheng lowered his head and finally answered in a low voice.
"Well, the pigs and chickens at home, you look at them and feed them."
"Hey, I see."
Liu and Yuan sat on the side, listening to the conversation between the two, and they were embarrassed.
They looked at each other cautiously, but they didn't dare to speak.
Simply explained the work at home, Li saw that everyone was together, said simply, and began to eat.
Everyone picked up the bowls and chopsticks in front of them, chewed the multigrain cake in their hands with one hand, drank the vegetable porridge in the bowl, and from time to time stretched out a spoon to scoop out a mouthful of fish soup and smooth the food in their mouths.
After eating, the Li family began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks again, and when everything was done, they set off directly.
The door opened, and a huge crowd rushed out.
Both adults and children have the tools they need to catch fish in their hands.
Zhao Yu had a few small ones, and they were carrying a small backpack of the same height as himself, which contained miscellaneous things, everything.
The little radish heads lined up in a long line, followed behind the Li family step by step, and hurried to the river with their chests held high.
Thinking that he wanted to take advantage of this time difference to earn more money and come back, Li had already planned to get up early every day in the past few days.
Coming early, the Li family thought that there would be no one on the road, but who thought that not long after they came out, they met some clansmen carrying buckets and wooden basins and walking back.
Lee's ......
Li sighed in his heart, sure enough, everyone is not stupid.
"Fifth sister-in-law, I'm back from fishing."
Li Shiqiang cheered up and greeted the woman who came over.
"Yes, his second aunt, you also go fishing?"
The woman had already walked up to her, and her eyes were full of gratitude when she looked at Lee.
Li's mind moved, he grabbed the other party's wrist and shook it, "Yes, it's cool to get up early, and you can get more." ”
"Fifth sister-in-law, my fifth brother must be waiting for you at home, go back quickly, let's talk."
"Hey, that's it, let's talk about it."
As if thinking of something, the woman quickly waved her hand and walked away quickly.
Li beckoned a few people behind him and sped up.
Not surprisingly, these children of the same clan all received the news yesterday, and they also knew that this method came from their family.
Now I get up early to catch fish and go back, I also want to verify it, and I guess that when the results come out, these people should be in a hurry.
Thinking about it a lot, Li's heart was a little complicated, but she didn't show it on her face, she still smiled, and greeted the women of the same clan in the past.
Although Zhao Fuxiang didn't say it yesterday, she can figure it out now.
It is difficult to support a single tree, and many trees become a forest.
They live in the village, and they can't rely on themselves, they have to rely on their fellow clansmen in the village, so that they will not be bullied.
In the same way, the village is not only its own kind, but if everyone wants to be satisfied, they cannot leave the whole village behind.
Now that the same clan knows the news, they will be grateful for their information, and the villagers will not be embarrassed by them if they know the news, although they cannot be so close to their own clan.
From now on, the life of their family in Shangwa Village will definitely be much easier.
Thinking about this, the fog in Li's heart dissipated, and he suddenly became brighter.
………
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they saw rows of dense trees appear in front of them.
The river is coming.
Li turned his head and instructed Liu and Yuan behind him, "You two, take care of the children, don't let them run into the river, beware of accidents." ”
Last year, some children took advantage of their parents to catch fish and went to the river for fun, but they didn't come out.
Liu's Yuan nodded hurriedly, saying that they understood.
Walking through a dense forest, the line of sight was wide, and a scene that was a hundred times more lively than before unfolded in front of them.
The river is very long, tens of meters wide, and the banks of the river are covered with that dense weed.
And the shallows by the river, full of people, everyone is in full swing fishing, it is really lively.
Unexpectedly, the fishy fish turned out to be fragrant.
Li led the crowd around this densely populated place and headed towards the place with willow shade upstream.
Usually, they all fished there.
Right now, there's someone else there.
Lee's ......
bad embryo, he actually dared to take advantage of her family!
