Chapter 10 The Life of a Peasant Woman
Father Song only met Gu Liuxi in the morning, and in the afternoon, he heard his daughter-in-law say that Gu Liuxi was a good girl, but he couldn't believe it. There are more gossips about Gu Liuxi outside, he is not as kind-hearted as Aunt Song, so he has to think more.
At this moment, Gu Liuxi's attitude was kind and gentle, and he couldn't help but reflect on whether he really looked away, this girl was indeed not as unbearable as the rumors outside.
Dinner was simple, another pot of multigrain porridge and leftover pancakes at noon, Father Song and Li An and Li Mu brothers were tired for a day and ate with relish. Gu Liuxi had eaten with Aunt Song before, and he was processing the silverfish caught in the yard.
The lively whitebait churned in the bucket, making Gu Liuxi hungry.
The largest of these whitebait is more than 20 centimeters, the small one is also the length of the palm, the whole body is scaleless, the color is like silver, scooped up and placed in the palm of the palm is translucent, soaked in the water but like the flowing silver moonlight, dazzling and flawless.
This fish is not only good-looking, but also delicious and fresh, rich in nutritional value, Gu Liuxi once said in a medical book, whitebait has the effect of nourishing the kidneys and invigorating the lungs, benefiting the spleen and lungs, removing deficiency and invigorating blood, and it is also a rare nourishing holy product.
In modern times, some species of whitebait are endangered and cannot be eaten as much as they want, but in ancient times when there was no industrial pollution, these whitebait did not know how delicious they were.
Gu Liuxi swallowed his saliva, "Mother, is there a whitebait in the river?" ”
Aunt Song smiled: "Yes, now is the season for more whitebait, and there will be fewer after a while." ”
Every year at the turn of spring and summer is a good season for whitebait, every family has to send men to fish, but whitebait is very cunning and extremely difficult to catch, Daddy Song took two nephews to catch these for a day.
"Oh, do you want to sell all these fish?" Gu Liuxi's voice swallowing saliva became louder and louder.
Scrambled eggs with whitebait, dried spicy whitebait, shredded chicken whitebait soup......
God, I'm hungry just thinking about it!
Aunt Song was busy dealing with the whitebait, fished out some of the dead ones and put them aside, and said with a smile: "Yes, the family is tired of eating, and only these dead ones and those that can't be sold are dried and kept for later." ”
Saying that, she finally looked up and saw Gu Liuxi lying on the edge of the bucket with a greedy look, and asked with some uncertainty, "Miss Gu, do you want to eat too?" ”
"Uh-huh!" Gu Liuxi nodded wildly.
Being in a prolific place with whitebait, the original owner was tired of eating this delicacy, but she hadn't eaten much!
Seeing that she was about to drool, Aunt Song couldn't help laughing, "Miss Gu wants to eat, I'll leave you some fresh ones." ”
"Mother, just call me Liuxi, don't be so outside." Gu Liuxi smiled helplessly.
After getting along with her for a day, Aunt Song liked this girl more and more like this girl who didn't have the slightest temper of the eldest lady, and when she said this, she cautiously shouted, "Then, Liu, Liuxi?" ”
"Yes, mother." Gu Liuxi's eyebrows were crooked, and Aunt Song was also relieved and laughed with her.
As soon as Song Yu came back, standing outside the courtyard, he saw the scene of his mother and Gu Liuxi getting along warmly, Gu Liuxi was cheerful and generous, and her smile didn't look like a lady, but it was very infectious, as if as long as she laughed, others couldn't help but laugh.
With her by her side, my heart will be surprisingly calm.
Why is that?
Gu Liuxi seemed to sense something, and glanced back, "Song Yu, why did you come back?" ”
Song Yu carried a few hares in his hands and walked into the courtyard with his legs raised.
