Chapter 20: Fishing continued
"That's a lot, isn't it?".
"My family caught a lot of fish, isn't it thanks to the fishing nets that Sister Dahua lent to my family, so I caught a lot? This is what I give to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, Sister Dahua, don't shirk it." Liu Yiyu said, pouring a few adult palm-sized crucian carp prepared earlier into the wooden barrel carried by Wang Ergouzi, without waiting for Wang Dahua to react.
"What's the matter, our family will get big fish later, and the fish will definitely be enough to eat, Sister Yiyu, you have a lot of family, I'm afraid you can't eat well, such as ......, Sister Yiyu, I..., I don't mean that." Wang Dahua was suddenly anxious, afraid that her own words would make Liu Yiyu misunderstand, don't think that she looks down on Liu Yiyu's family, suddenly, Wang Dahua blushed and explained.
"Sister Dahua, I know, you don't have to excuse yourself, this is what I give to Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, it's my heart, let's go home!" Liu Yiyu stopped Dahua's hand, and then, with a greeting to his younger siblings, he went up the mountain.
The mountain road is quite steep, but Liu Yiyu's family straightened their backs and moved forward step by step.
"Sister, what's going on here?" After the second dog looked at the extra crucian carp in the barrel, he said to his sister with a worried face.
"It's okay, go home."
Wang Dahua's family.
"Your sister and brother are back, how many fish have you caught, are you hungry, my mother will cook for you." Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang, one of them is killing fish, removing scales and internal organs, and Aunt Wang is washing the fish killed by Uncle Wang inside and out, and then using salt to carefully touch the big fish, and then hang it up to dry.
Second Aunt Wang, after seeing her daughter and boy come back, hurriedly got up and wiped her hands on the apron around her waist.
"Dad, how many big fish are we getting this year?" The second dog saw his father killing fish, put down the barrel in his hand, ran to his father, saw his father raise the knife and fell, and quickly decomposed a big fish, and his eyes showed a look of worship.
"As in previous years, a family is divided into two big fish according to the head, and our family has divided eight, but your mother caught fifteen small fish in front of the embankment, which can be enough for our family to eat for a while?"
"Mother, why didn't you and your father sell the fish this year and replace it with copper plates?" In previous years, when the dam was released, the family got the big fish, and their father and mother would sell the big fish, replace it with copper plates, and then exchange it for some household back.
"Wasn't there a famine last year? Now every household has not much grain in stock, our family is not enough to eat, your father is trolling, this year's big fish is not sold, all are pickled, eat slowly, plus, now the village every household is divided into big fish, I am afraid that it will be sold in the market in a few days, when the time comes, maybe the price of this fish will fall? Will your father do the math and keep it for his own family? Oh, do you brothers and sisters catch a lot of fish? ”。 Aunt Wang took a look into the wooden barrel that Ergouzi brought back, and saw that the Dahua sister and brother had caught a lot of fish, and even there were more than ten or twenty crucian carp the size of an adult's palm, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Mother, there are several of these big fish that Sister Yiyu's family gave to our family." After the second dog heard his mother's words, he hurriedly walked into the front of Aunt Wang.
"Big flower, what's going on, why don't you want to think about it, last year, the grandfather and uncle of the Yiyu family were not for food, they were left for the first few small ones in the family to eat, and they starved to death, how could you accept the fish of the Yiyu family, you are too nonsense, last year our family knew that if we gave the Liu family some food, it wouldn't...., it wouldn't.... Alas". Aunt Wang heard the words of the second dog, in this wooden barrel, many of the crucian carp the size of an adult's palm were caught by the Liu family and accepted by their own daughter.
"Mother, didn't I shirk it, Yiyu made up his mind, saying that he was filial to his father and mother to eat, and stopped me from giving me a chance?" Dahua said a little aggrieved.
"Boss, or let's send a few fish I caught to the Liu family." Aunt Wang looked at the grass carp weighing several catties in a large wooden basin, and then looked at the way she was in charge.
"A few dolls of the Liu family, neat and tidy, and backbone, they send fish to honor the two of us, and we have also sent fish to the past, don't you look down on others? Let's talk about this slowly in advance, if we have the chance, we will help them again." Uncle Wang said after pondering for a moment.
"That's good".
The Yanagi family.
"Grandma, Auntie, let's come back". Liu Yile was like a cheerful lark, running and jumping around Liu Yiyu and the others, teasing Liu Yishuang and Liu Yisa with his fingers from time to time carrying the fish in the barrel.
After Liu Yile saw his home, before anyone arrived, the voice came out first, shouting loudly outside the bamboo house.
"Mother, it's late at night, don't embroider a veil in the future, it hurts your eyes like this." Liu Yiyu entered the bamboo house, and saw his mother taking advantage of the moonlight, holding a needle and thread, and embroidering a handkerchief, Liu Yiyu walked into Liu Li's front and took off the handkerchief in Liu Li's hand.
"Isn't my mother idle? Embroidered handkerchiefs to supplement the household? Okay, well, my mother won't embroider the veil at night in the future." Liu Li saw that the eldest girl's face sank, and hurriedly reassured.
"Mother's embroidery is good?" After Liu Yiyu took back the blank handkerchief, he was concerned in his heart, and embroidered some cartoon characters on the blank embroidered handkerchief, such as Peppy Pig, Pikachu, and Tinker Bell patterns, planning to test the water and take a look at the market, but Liu Li was surprised by his boldness, afraid of losing the money of this blank handkerchief, so he insisted on not embroidering the patterns drawn by himself, and embroidered those common lotus, lotus, peony, and mandarin duck old patterns on these blank handkerchiefs.
Liu Li's embroidery is the best, and the embroidered things are vivid and beautiful.
After Liu Yiyu turned over to the back three handkerchiefs, he saw that his mother was not incomprehensible and rigid, and then on the last three handkerchiefs, one was embroidered with Peppa Pig, one was embroidered with cherry balls, and one was embroidered with Tinker Bell.
"Eldest sister, my mother embroidered the pattern drawn by my eldest sister for my mother, and my mother is also afraid of ..... and ......" Liu Li said Finally, his fingers clenched the hem of his clothes, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Yiyudao.
"Mother, my daughter knows it, so it's safer." Liu Yiyu broke off Liu Li's fingers that were clenching his clothes and held Liu Li's hand, after all, Liu Li was an ancient person and a woman, and he had never been exposed to this kind of new thing, so it was normal for him to be a little difficult to accept for a while.
You have to take your time.
