Chapter 8: The whole village is busy fishing

"This is too used to children, not staying at home on a snowy day, catching a ghost fish." The eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family shouted loudly.

"There are fish, Auntie, there are fish in the river, Doudou wants to eat fish, Dad, hurry up and catch fish." The little voice of the soybean was particularly crisp, and he waved his hand to drive his father to drag the board away as he spoke.

"The river is frozen, and the fish scales don't want to be seen, it's really a lot of habit for children." Wang's sister-in-law muttered quietly and walked to the vegetable field, and went over, picked up the fence, reached out to remove the snow and went in to pull out a few spinach trees.

"Doudou, tell you milk, I'll pull two spinach plants and go home to make vegetable paste for the dog."

Huang Dou didn't care about Sister-in-law Wang's habit of taking advantage of small advantages, and only shouted for her father to take her to catch fish.

Sister-in-law Wang got a few spinach trees, and Mei Zizi turned around and walked home, rolling her eyes as she went: "A girl is about to be spoiled by the sky." ”

Originally, Sister-in-law Wang went to the chicken nest in the yard to touch the eggs, and opened the courtyard door to take a look, but she saw Huang Laosan carrying two wooden barrels home from afar, sending the eggs back to the house, and thinking about simply going to the door to see what to do in the morning.

As a result, when he came out again, he saw the father and daughter dragging a board to play, really, he was the most accustomed child in the Huang family.

When Sister-in-law Wang entered the door, she saw her three boys and the eldest daughter of the third family playing together in the yard.

"I'm going to die, I'm so idle that I have maggots on my body, dead girl, see your brother beat me." Sister-in-law Wang said and dragged Wang Sanya away with one hand.

"They're all dead, didn't you see the three girls beating the dogs?" Sister-in-law Wang shouted at the West Wing.

"Sister-in-law, this is your dog's egg, he eats alone, robbed my Siya's rice cakes, and also grabbed the plug, Siya fought with him."

Wang's third daughter-in-law, Han, heard her sister-in-law's scolding, and hurriedly walked out of the West Chamber with a stomach.

The three brothers of the Wang family all live in a courtyard, the main house, the east room lives the Wang family's two old people, and the west room lives the Wang family's two sons and three sons.

Two rooms in the east wing room live in Wang Lao'er's family of four, one in the west wing room lives Wang Laosan's family of four, and one room lives in Wang Lao's two daughters.

Wang's third daughter-in-law, Han, has been uncomfortable with her sister-in-law since she gave birth to her son, and there is no other reason, mainly because she feels that her sister-in-law occupies her room.

There are two rooms in the east wing of the second family, and a family of four can barely move away.

In her house, there are two rooms in the west chamber, and it was originally two sisters-in-law who lived in one, but the youngest sister-in-law had not gone out yet, and the sister-in-law stuffed the two girls over, and said that the girls were too big to sleep with their aunts.

Now it's okay, the sister-in-law also got married last year, and the two girls won't move their nests.

The three members of her family are all eight years old, and the bolt is also five years old, and she is about to give birth after the New Year, and the family of five is still crowded into one room.

The sister-in-law's family occupied the west house, the eldest son occupied a room in the front room, and the two daughters also occupied a room in the west room.

Since the bolt was born and she was pregnant again, she beat dogs and chickens every day to find fault and quarrel, and she must find a way to bring the room where the two girls of her sister-in-law's family slept in.

Sister-in-law Wang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and she slapped the dog's buttocks: "You shameless thing, the family lacks you to eat and drink, and you worry about other people's mouthfuls every day, and you have the ability to earn it yourself." ”

Grandma Dongwu Wang heard the two daughters-in-law arguing in the yard, and couldn't help but walk out: "I can't stop it, and if I make any more noise, I'll go back to my parents' house." ”

Sister-in-law Wang saw her mother-in-law come out, and hurriedly picked up a few spinach that were thrown on the ground: "Mother, this is the spinach I pulled at Huang's house, and we will boil vegetables and eat them at noon, okay." ”

"Okay, you can do it." Grandma Wang is also a person who likes to be greedy, and when she saw that she took advantage of it, she didn't scold, so she dragged up the dog egg: "Go, dog egg, go to the milk house, and the milk will roast sweet potatoes for you to eat." ”

Sister-in-law Wang squinted at the third daughter-in-law, turned around and entered the stove room.

Wang Lao's third daughter-in-law stood at the door, her face was red and white for a while, and she was so angry that she dragged the three girls into two slaps: "You useless thing, like your father, you can't protect a mouthful of food, you deserve to be robbed." ”

Wang's third sister-in-law, Han, was really panicked, when she was in her mother's house, she was also a flower in the village, she wanted to have good looks, she had to have a figure, and she worked in the house and the ground.

When the matchmaker said that she was married, her mother wanted to tell her about the third son of the Huang family, and everyone knew that the Huang family had a solid foundation.

At the beginning, Huang Laohan came back from the boat, because he saved the boy of the owner, he got a rich reward, and when he came back, he bought land and built four houses, which caused a sensation in ten miles and eight towns.

Except for the rich people in the town, I have never seen anyone so bullish.

Who knows, the matchmaker went to the Huang family to say it, and the old couple of the Huang family didn't say they didn't want to, they just said that they would meet Huang Laosan when he came back, as long as the child had nothing to say, they had no opinion.

The whole Han family thought that it must be a sure thing to be so good at the appearance and ability of the daughter in the family.

Who knows, Huang Laosan met his current daughter-in-law Song while working in the next village, and when he came back, he told his father and mother that he wanted to marry Song, but he didn't see her.

The Song family entered the Huang family that year, and she married into the Wang family the next year, so she wanted Huang Laosan to see that she was much stronger than the Song family.

People really can't bet on marriage, there is no harm if there is no comparison, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family and the daughter-in-law of the Huang family, that is simply a treatment in the sky and in the ground.

No matter how busy the field is, the daughter-in-law of the Huang family does not go to the field, and the land is too busy to take care of the labor, and when the farm is idle, the brothers also have skills, go out to do work to make some money, and the daughter-in-law of the family only cares about the family and the children.

Unlike the Wang family, she married her daughter-in-law as a cow, and her sister-in-law specializes in cooking and doing housework at home.

gave birth to three girls, she didn't dare to breathe at home, her mother-in-law went in and out to show her face, she disliked being a girl, and it was better until she gave birth to a plug!

Wang San's sister-in-law pulled the third girl's arm and entered the house, and in the house, Wang Laosan was lying in the bed with his son.

The son wore a small jacket, and his whole body was almost exposed outside the quilt, and Wang Laosan only cared about himself, not even his son.

Wang San's sister-in-law was even more angry when she saw it: "Wang Laosan, look at you, you don't even care about your son, if you fall down, you will fall out of a bad way, see who will throw the brazier for you when you are old." ”

Wang Laosan only felt that this woman was irritable, and turned over impatiently to continue sleeping, and wanted to sleep in winter, and the family was not at ease, like a few daughters-in-law of the Huang family next door, who greeted each other with smiling faces in and out.

In the Huang family next door, not only a few daughters-in-law were smiling, but the men and children in the family were all happily closed.

Today, probably because more fish are attracted at night, although the surface of the river is still covered with ice, it does not affect their thirst for oxygen, and many fish jump out of the water as soon as the ice is broken.

Huang Laosan dragged the soybeans to the embankment with a wooden plank, and when he put down the soybeans, he put the bucket that was already full of fish on the wooden plank and hurriedly dragged it home.

The planks are not very wide, but they can be tied with rope to fit six barrels side by side, which is much more efficient than carrying only two barrels at a time.

There are not so many wooden barrels at home, so I took the bamboo basket that usually carries things, anyway, there is no delay back and forth, and the fish will not die after leaving the water for a while.

Before noon, the snow was a little lighter, and the three brothers Huang took Huang Delei back from the town where he had already sold out of fish.

Today, the four of them brought fish into the town, which was better than expected, and they were directly rounded up by the two big restaurants in the town.

Originally, the first one still wanted to bargain, all of them were round, and as soon as they started to talk about the price, the other one arrived. As a result, the price was not negotiated, and it went up, and the two hotels almost fought over who to sell the fish to.

Later, it was Huang Delei who asked the two families to divide equally, and promised to send another batch to the two families in the afternoon, so he reluctantly accepted.

The two largest restaurants in Nanshan Town have always been competitors, the Huang brothers, no one can be offended, so they can only try to be as close as possible.

When the four of Huang came back, they didn't go home directly, and went down to help when they got to the embankment.

Because of the large number of people, they simply smashed an ice cave more than ten meters away.

At noon, the master was busy and didn't want to go home to eat, or Huang Dou said to the second uncle who went home to deliver the fish, and he was really reluctant to come back to eat at noon, so everyone took turns to eat.

Anyway, I have to send fish to my home, and I have to go to the town to deliver fish, so how can I do it without eating.

After eating, Huang Lao Da and Huang Lao Si went to the town again, this time, they did not use a wheelbarrow, but unloaded the door panel of the house, and everyone directly sent the fish to the road, and the brothers took turns dragging them to the town.

Not to mention, not only is it fast, but it is also more than the morning delivery.

In the evening, when the whole family rested for dinner, the soybeans couldn't help but suggest that they couldn't keep fishing, so not only would everyone's body not be able to stand it, but the fish would not be able to sell at a price.

The most important thing is that they occupy the convenience of the terrain and have not yet been discovered, and once they are found, everyone will definitely come to break the ice and catch fish. When the time comes, the price of fish will be nothing, and some people will not pay attention to safety, and it will be fatal to fall into the channel river too anxiously.

Huang Laohan pondered for a while and nodded, and sent another trip of fish to the two restaurants tomorrow morning, and everyone would rest at home for two days.

On the third day, I went fishing, and on the fourth day, I went to sell fish. If the hotel wants fish, you can only tell them that you can only send fish to the market in the future.

After dinner, Huang Laohan separately instructed his four adult sons to wait for dark every day, and go to the ice-breaking place to smash it again when everyone was not coming out.

If a fish jumps out, they pick it up, and when the surface of the water is covered with thin ice, and no fish jump, they come back. In this way, you don't have to smash the ice again after a few days to catch fish.

The four brothers of the Huang family listened and nodded again and again, even if the old man didn't give orders, they would do it.

This winter, the whole Huang family spent time in fishing and selling fish to rest.

It wasn't until the day before the Spring Festival that Boss Huang was selling fish in the town and met the Wang brothers in the village who went to the town to do New Year's goods, and everyone knew that the Huang family was fishing for fish in the channel river.

The people in the village went out one after another, and the channel river was smashed into seven holes and eight eyes. After the New Year in Nanshan Town, as soon as the market opened on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, there were more than a dozen stalls selling fish, and the price of fish fell again and again.

And the Huang family, after the New Year, has stopped fishing, after all, the price of fish has dropped, and the river is smashed everywhere, there are not many fish to catch.

However, every winter, the ice holes are smashed to catch fish and sold, so that the villages near the channel river have made a small fortune.
