When Xu Yin was walking on the village road facing the sunset, all the rice fish of her cousin's family had been pulled out of the rice field, and they swam along the canal into the big basin bucket connected to the mouth, and more than a dozen pots and buckets were placed on the side, which were full, and from time to time fish jumped out.

She leaned over and looked, "Yo! Brother Jianjun, your fish are really good! ”

When everyone saw that it was her, they happily accommodated:

"Yin Yin is back?"

"Yin girl is finally back! We're looking for you to make clothes. ”

"What kind of clothes! Yin girl must have come to help the family collect fish. ”

"But no, Yin Yin, my family will also raise fish with your family next season, can you teach us how to prepare fish feed when the time comes?"

Xu Yin glanced at her cousin and asked with her eyes: Did you make it up?

Xu Jianjun touched his nose: "The big guys will disperse first, Yin Yin has just come back, and she hasn't returned home yet." ”

Squeezing away the surrounding people, Xu Jianjun tied the two largest carps with a straw rope and handed them to Xu Yin: "Go home and eat a fresh meal." ”

Xu Yin waved her hand: "I also have it at home." ”

"Your home is your family, and what I give you is mine. Take it! What's polite to my brother! ”

Xu Dajia was busy dividing the fish, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "Yin Yin, you hurry up and take it, the fish can grow so big, it all depends on your recipe." ”

Xu Yin accepted it with a smile.

When Mother Xu saw her daughter coming back, she was both happy and complained: "Why did you stay so long!" Didn't you say that you came back before July, and if you didn't cut the rice and don't harvest the fish, would you still want to stay? ”

Xu Yin laughed in her heart: "Didn't you let me stay for a few more days and rub off on the food of my eldest brother's house!" Do you see if I'm a little fat? ”

“……”

Fat fart!

Mother Xu rolled her eyes: "Your small body, you can be blown away by a strong wind." ”

Xu Yin pouted: "How can you say so exaggerated." ”

Forget it, don't talk to her mother.

"Mom, this is Brother Jianjun's fish, his family collected fish today, and there were many people watching, I passed by to take a look, and he gave me two."

Mother Xu snorted, took the fish and said, "You took out the fish food recipe, and the fish of several of their families can be raised so big, and it is cheaper for them to give you two to eat." ”

Xu Yin looked at the sky and diverted the topic: "How do our fish look?" ”

Speaking of her own rice flower fish, Xu's mother suddenly had a smile on her face:

"Our fish are so angry! The big ones have to be almost three catties, and the smallest ones are about half a catty. Just wait for you to come back and drain the water and collect the fish. ”

"Where's Daddy?" Xu Yin followed her mother into the house, put down her luggage, looked around, and didn't see Daddy Xu.

"I went to see his watermelon field again, our watermelons are also growing very well this year, and I am happy to give him joy, saying that our family has a fortune this year, raising fish and fish fat, and planting melons and melons are sweet."

When it came to the family's income, Mother Xu couldn't stop smiling.

"If you know that you are coming back today, your father will pick a big watermelon to come back, you will know if you have eaten it, this year's melon is very sweet, and there is a lot of moisture, you don't need to cut it, take a knife and gently scratch it, it will crack, the black seeds are red, beautiful, and you can sell it for a good price."

"When are you going to sell it?"

"Let's finish cutting the early rice. Your father has seen it, and there is not much ripe now, and when the rice is almost ripe after harvesting, and when the ploughing is finished, pull it to the purchasing station. Your uncle will come to help when the time comes. ”

Xu Yin nodded: "I'll take the time to go to the farm and ask Master Yu, if I can borrow a tractor, I can pull watermelons by the way after plowing, and save the cart." ”

Mother Xu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "It would be great to be able to borrow a tractor!" So when are you going? Remember to bring a few watermelons when you go. ”

Xu Yin thought for a while: "Why don't you want to be tomorrow morning?" Try to come back as early as possible so as not to delay our collection of fish. ”

"According to me, let's wait until the fish are harvested, and bring a few more fish by the way." Mother Xu had a good impression of Master Yu, who was willing to lend the tractor, and she was not stingy when she gave gifts.

Xu Yin naturally has no opinion.

"Mom, these are new shoes that my sister-in-law made for you and your father, as well as new clothes. By the way, she also packed a big package, all of which are specialties from Tongcheng, but unfortunately the road is long, my brother is worried that I can't take it, so I did the consignment, and it will take two days to arrive. I went this time, and it really cost my sister-in-law money. ”

"That's as it should be." Mother Xu has always been harsh on her daughter-in-law.

But compared with before, the current attitude is very good, at least I won't scold my daughter-in-law at every turn.

Xu Yin took out the contents of the bag one by one.

"This is the famous dim sum in Tongcheng, I brought two boxes, and I went back to send one box to my grandmother. This is lanolin for you to wipe your hands in winter, this is wine and tea for your father, and this is ...... for your uncle."

It's all scattered food and supplies.

As for rolls of wool, cashmere thread, cloth, and several sauced ducks, hams, and dried mutton, they were all shipped with the package.

Sister-in-law Xu also asked her to bring some things to her mother's family, and when she went to pick up the package, she went to Houhai Village, in addition to sending things, she also had to collect some goods and send them to Tongcheng.

Mother Xu put things away, "I'll call your father, and bring a watermelon back by the way", and went out after speaking.

Xu Yin glanced at it and pursed her lips and snickered.

The heart said mother, you are going the wrong way, your father is in the watermelon field, and the entrance of the village is in the opposite direction. And why did you go to the field and put on new clothes and shoes? It's clear that it's to show off, tsk!

……

That night, Lao Xu's family cut a big watermelon.

Sure enough, as Mother Xu said, the black seed red gourd is sweet and juicy, and it is many times better than the greenhouse melons of later generations.

Xu Yin didn't pay attention to it, and leaned on the recliner for a long time and didn't want to move: "Our melon was sold to the acquisition station at a loss." ”

The purchase station is a unified purchase price, and the melons are collected by catties, and the melons are basically the same price.

After thinking about it, he proposed: "Otherwise, let's go to the residential area and sell it." It's a hot day, and there will be no shortage of people who buy melons. ”

"Will it work?" Xu's mother still stuck in the past, and when she heard about private trafficking, she was always worried about being arrested.

Xu Yin told the market of the stalls in Tongcheng, and finally said: "Mom, there are stalls here that we have, but we don't know." ”

Mother Xu couldn't make up her mind, and looked at Father Xu: "Father of the child, what do you say?" ”

"Just listen to the girl." Daddy Xu said.

Such a good melon, he only planted it for the first time in his life, and sold it to the acquisition station at a uniform price, which was indeed a little unwilling.

"Then it's settled." Xu Yin clapped, "After harvesting the fish tomorrow, I'll go to Master Yu to borrow a tractor." ”

The next day, Lao Xu's family began to drain the water from the rice fields and collect fish.

Four acres of paddy fields, and one acre of fish, it is obvious that this acre of rice ears are fuller than the other three acres.

Xu Yin said that this is the credit of the rice flower fish.

Mother Xu regretted again, she didn't listen to her daughter's idea to raise more fish, not only a few more in this acre, but also in the other three acres of land, if you also raise rice and fish, then this year is really a bumper harvest.
