Chapter 261: Catching Fish
Mother, mother, I want to ride too! Li Pandi watched Mu Xiaocao ride happily around the yard, and she couldn't help but chase and shout behind the bicycle.
"You're still young, you can't ride, my mother will take you." Mu Xiaocao got out of the car with a smile, put Li Pandi on the horizontal bar in front of the bicycle, and then rode on it again.
In the past, the old-fashioned bicycles were all wearing horizontal bars in front, but Mu Xiu's height was fortunate that although he was flying fast this year, he would be able to ride it.
Mu Xiaocao was a head taller than Mu Xiu, she rode a bicycle and wore Li Pandi around the yard, Li Pandi laughed excitedly, and the whole yard was full of joy.
But Li Xingzhi was angry, he had just come back from wandering in the county seat, and he listened to Zhao Xiaoqin to complain.
"You don't know, she looked at me, her eyes were about to drift to the sky, and she was scolding me in the market, she was doing her business, I just wanted to buy a chicken cake for Huzi to eat, what's wrong? She's really ruthless! ”
"Dad, I'm looking for my mother, the chicken cake made by my mother is delicious!" Li Hu heard them mention Mu Xiaocao on the side, and immediately thought of the delicious chicken cake, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said.
"What's delicious, go back and ask Aunt Xu to make a taste for you, and your mother died early, that woman is called Mu Xiaocao!" Li Xingzhi also said viciously.
"Son, how are you doing with that little sister surnamed Xu??" When Zhao Xiaoqin heard Li Xingzhi mention Aunt Xu, her eyes immediately lit up, this little eldest sister is a city girl, and she still eats national food.
"You just wait for the new daughter-in-law at home, it's not that I said, Xu Yan is much better looking than Mu Xiaocao, mother, don't be angry, wait for me to marry Xu Yan back, and then take it to have a good look at Mu Xiaocao." Li Xingzhi couldn't help but get excited when he mentioned Xu Yan.
Zhao Xiaoqin opened her mouth, she originally wanted to tell Li Xingzhi that Mu Xiaocao has really changed a lot now, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again, even if she became a little better looking than before, she was not just a village girl, and when she took over the daughter-in-law in the city, she must be angry with Mu Xiaocao.
Now the courtyard wall of Mu Xiu's house has not only been heightened, but also layered sharp bamboo has been added to the wall, which is also to prevent thieves, if someone wants to climb over the wall, they will be stabbed.
Mu Xiu held the chopped and mixed chicken food in one hand, and opened the door of the chicken coop neatly, cooing and calling the hens out, she poured the chicken food into the chicken food trough and watched them eat.
Because Mu Xiu will add chicken feed to the chicken food every once in a while, so these chickens are obviously bigger than chickens of the same age, and now, more than 20 eggs a day depend on them, and when the New Year is approaching, these chickens can still be sold at a good price, leaving a few hens, and waiting until the beginning of spring, and then holding a group of chickens.
The ducks that are raised also began to lay eggs, but there are not many, and the ducks grow slower than the chickens.
"Brother Pan, Brother Chen, what are you going to do?" Mu Xiu turned his head and saw Chen Xuhui pulling Li Pandi and walking outside with a bucket.
"Brother Pan said that he wanted to eat fish, and I happened to be free this afternoon, so I took Brother Zhao to catch fish." Chen Xuhui is also a half-old child, and it is also natural to be playful and active.
"I'll go too." Mu Xiu's playfulness has also come up, tomorrow is the day of the autumn harvest, and he is about to start busy, so let's relax again today.
The three of them talked and laughed all the way to the river, and began to dig earthworms, and after a while, they caught more than a dozen earthworms.
Chen Xuhui hung the earthworm hook on the hook, raised the fishing rod, and lured the fish far away, and then waited quietly, and after a while, Chen Xuhui caught a palm-sized crucian carp.
"You're too slow fishing, let's catch fish." Mu Xiu put down the basket, took out the handkerchief, put the fish food in the space into the handkerchief, tied it with a rope, fixed it in the basket, and then put the basket into the river, and put stones in it to press the basket so that the water would not wash the basket away.
"It's the first time I've seen a fish like this, can I catch it?" Chen Xuhui asked curiously.
"Give it a try." Mu Xiu's favorite thing in the past was to feed the fish at the viewing lake in the community, and as soon as the fish food was sprinkled, many fish rushed up from the bottom of the pond to grab food.
"Second aunt, Uncle Chen, look." Li Zhaodi pointed to the river and shouted excitedly.
I saw that three big fish got into the back basket, and Chen Xuhui was dumbfounded, so he could catch a fish?
Mu Xiu hurriedly rushed over, quickly scooped up the back basket, and dragged it to the shore.
Chen Xuhui and Li Zhaodi came back to their senses, and they all ran over to help, only to see that there were not only three big fish in the back basket, but also more than a dozen small fish.
Chen Xuhui looked at the number of fish in the back basket, and said stupidly: "It turns out that I used the wrong method before, and I will also catch fish in the future." ”
For the first time, Chen Xuhui felt that the fish was so stupid.
"I'll catch it." Chen Xuhui excitedly picked up his back basket, and Mu Xiu made a fish trap and handed it to him.
He and Li Pandi stood by the river and had a lot of fun.
"This fish is enough to eat today, let's go." Mu Xiu's back basket on the shore has been filled, and some small shrimp have been fished out.
"This is the first time I've caught so many fish, Mu Xiu, you're so amazing, you can think of such a way, give me more fish food in the future, I'll catch a lot of fish." Chen Xuhui said excitedly.
"This fish food also happened to be made by me, according to the proportion, I didn't have any fish to eat in the fish food I made before." Mu Xiu doesn't like to eat fish, it's okay to eat once in a while, but it's not okay to eat a meal, looking at Chen Xuhui like this, if he really gives him fish food, then maybe he will have to eat fish every once in a while......
"My second aunt is right, you see the dogs on the other side, they also learned from us to catch fish, and they didn't catch any of them." Li Pandi whispered.
"Let's hurry up, or the fish will die in a moment." Mu Xiu urged.
The three of them walked home quickly, put the fish into the barrel, and saw a large bucket of fish, bouncing in it.
"Oh my God, you caught so many fish?" Zhou Shuilian was dumbfounded.
"Grandma, I've caught it too." Li Pandi had a praising expression on his face.
"Brother Pan is so powerful." Mu Xiaocao also walked over, squatted down and hugged her.
"I'll make something to eat for you tonight, come, Brother Chen, help me kill the fish." Mu Xiu picked the two biggest fish.
Soon, Mu Xiu made dinner. I boiled a fish head tofu soup, cut the fish fillets into thin slices, and made a sauerkraut fish.
The family sat in the courtyard, talking and laughing, and the laughter coming from the yard could be heard from afar.
