Chapter 3: Fat Fish
In the big water tank of the Shen family, groups of fat fish are swimming around, and the water tank is almost unfilled, and there are at least dozens of them at a rough look, looking at the tigers and bolts stupidly in place.
With a "bang", a big fish jumped out of the water, smashed a big splash, and splashed on the brothers' faces.
Huzi touched his face, hehehe smirked, "Fish, there are fish to eat, hehehehe......"
The bolt was also very happy, but he immediately calmed down and asked the doubts in his heart.
"But where did this fish come from?"
The fish in the river outside have long been caught, and there are no fry left, where are so many fish?
And when he boiled water before, there was obviously not a single fish in the tank, why did he have so many fish at once?
"Oops, it must have been the eldest brother who caught it!" Huzi said in a firm tone, "The eldest brother promised me to catch fish for me to eat today, and he went out with the fish basket on his back after lunch, he must have caught it." ”
"When did Big Brother come back? Why didn't I see it? "Something felt something was wrong, but I couldn't say anything was wrong.
At this moment, a young man of about ten years old ran into the kitchen with a roar, saw a bowl of water on the stove, and drank it without saying a word.
After drinking the water, the young man was still unsatisfied, and poured another cup of hot water and put it on the stove to cool.
When Huzi saw that the eldest brother was coming, he hurriedly came over, and his little eyes were still starry.
"Big brother, it's really hard for you today, catching so many fish, it's enough for us to eat for a long time!"
Tiezi thought that Huzi was teasing him, and suddenly his face was a little embarrassed.
He took down the empty fish basket on his back and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Huzi, the fish that the eldest brother promised you didn't catch." ”
"Big brother, what are you talking about?" Huzi asked puzzledly, "Didn't you catch the fish in this tank?" ”
At the same time, Shen Zhengwen, who was collecting firewood in the yard, faintly heard movement in the chicken coop.
He thought it was a mouse, so he quietly walked over with a shovel to catch the mouse off guard, but was caught off guard by what was in the chicken coop.
Where did these two big hens come from?
There are also eggs in the chicken coop, there are so many that he can't put them down, and he has never seen so many eggs since he was born.
Shen Zhengwen thought he was dazzled, threw a shovel and rubbed his eyes, pinched his thighs again, and found that he was indeed not dreaming, the hens were still there, and the eggs were still there.
"Giggle...... The two hens paced leisurely, rolling their eyes at Shen Zhengwen by the way.
Shen Zhengwen was a little speechless, he was, was laughed at by the chicken?
"Daddy! Father! Huzi and the others ran out of the kitchen to ask what was going on with the fish in the tank, but first noticed the clucking hen.
The three brothers swallowed in unison, staring at the eggs in the coop with glowing eyes.
They hadn't eaten eggs in a long time, and they had almost forgotten what they tasted like.
The dumplings and balls that had been playing in the yard also ran over, and when they saw the eggs, they rushed over and grabbed the eggs to put them in their mouths.
"Wait a minute!" Shen Zhengwen hurriedly walked over and snatched the egg down, "This egg is still raw, and it has to be boiled before it can be eaten." ”
He turned his head to put the eggs back, and when he saw that the five children were all staring at him, he gritted his teeth and took a few more eggs and walked to the kitchen.
I don't know who put these two hens and eggs here, but there are so many eggs, and if there are a few less, they shouldn't be found, right?
"There's eggs to eat! There's an egg to eat! ”
Tuanzi Yuanzi clapped his hands happily behind him and shouted loudly, and Shen Zhengwen hurriedly made a boo gesture towards them.
Taoli Village belongs to Qingzhou City, and it is separated from the city by a mountain.
The county order of Qingzhou City prevented the refugees from rioting and issued orders not to allow refugees to enter the city, and many refugees' migration routes were cut off in Qingzhou, so they had to wander in villages outside the city.
Although Taoli Village has also been affected by the drought, it is fortunate that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are several large mountains as a guarantee
As the saying goes, the mountains are rich in resources, so some refugees chose to stay in Taoli Village.
Li Zhengzheng of Taoli Village was worried that the population in the village was too small, and no one would cultivate it in the spring of the next year, and the imperial court would not be able to pay the harvest when the time came, so he tacitly acquiesced to these refugees to stay.
But what he didn't expect was that some refugees were hard to get rid of and were accustomed to getting something for nothing, and there have been many cases of refugees breaking into people's homes and looting food recently.
So nowadays, whoever has food is tightly covering their pockets, for fear that the refugees will find out.
When Xiao Niannian woke up, the sun was dressed in colorful clouds and slowly fell to the west.
fluttered his calves twice, and Xiao Niannian sadly discovered a fact.
She's peeing her pants.
The fabric was wet and cold, and it was very uncomfortable. She couldn't tell the people around her, so she opened her voice and cried.
Fortunately, Li Rulan is an experienced mother, and as soon as Xiao Niannian cried, she reached into the quilt and groped.
Knowing that Xiao Niannian was wetting her pants, she forced herself to sit up and change Xiao Niannian's diaper.
By the time she was done, her forehead was drenched with sweat, and she was lying on the bed panting heavily.
Xiao Niannian looked at her with big eyes and unblinked, her eyes full of distress.
"Squeak-" The door opened, and the five bolt brothers walked in with a bowl, followed by Huzi.
Suddenly, the smell of chicken and fish filled the room.
They put the sea bowl on the low table in the room, and their little faces could not hide their excitement and thirst.
Shen Zhengwen followed, not holding a bowl in his hand, but directly brought in the big wooden basin for washing his face at home, which was full of fragrant fish soup.
Li Rulan looked at the food on the low table and couldn't close her mouth in surprise.
"Wenlang, where did you get the money to buy these?"
"Don't worry." Shen Zhengwen's honest face was also a little excited, "These are not bought with money, they are given to us by God." ”
Li Rulan was puzzled, and Shen Zhengwen explained what happened.
"It's not just chickens and fish, but there are also several tender Chinese cabbages growing in our yard for some reason. Our family lives in a partial way, and usually no one comes to us, not to mention that I was at home all afternoon, and I didn't see outsiders at all. So these things must have been given to us by God because they had mercy on us. ”
Now it's not just Li Rulan, but Xiao Niannian who is lying on the bed has also grown her mouth.
Hens, fatty fish, and bok choy, how does this description look so much like something from her farm?
She remembers thinking that it would be nice if she could bring these things out for her family to eat.
I didn't expect to wake up and what I thought came true!
She was originally worried that she would live a very hard life in the future, but now it seems that she doesn't have to live a hard life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Niannian happily spit out a few saliva bubbles.
"My sister laughed again, my sister laughed again!" Huzi didn't know when he lay down beside Xiao Niannian, and howled to scare Xiao Niannian.
Seeing this, Li Rulan hurriedly drove the tiger away.
Huzi sat back at the table again, wrapped the remaining half of the boiled egg in his hand into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Dad, do you think my sister will be a fairy who fell from the sky?" Otherwise, as soon as she came, we would have so many delicious foods. ”
"That's it, my sister is a fairy!"
"My sister is so good, I want to give my sister a thumbs up!"
The two brothers of the dumplings and the round of rice sucked and drank the fish soup, and at the same time did not forget to echo it, and even the plug showed a rare big smile.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Li Rulan and Wu Jiangang glanced at each other when they heard this, and they both had joy in their eyes.
Perhaps, this picked up girl can really bring luck.
Listening to the tinkling sound of eating in the room, Xiao Niannian's saliva flowed.
It's a pity that she can't eat anything at this time, even her sense of taste is not well developed, and she can't smell the fragrance.
Outside, someone had already followed the fragrance into the broken courtyard of the Shen family.
Tiezi drank the fish soup in the bowl intently, and when he looked up, he saw a figure standing outside his window.
"Who?"
Tiezi asked in a loud voice, but the figure fled.
When Shen Zhengwen heard this, he immediately opened the door to check, but it was already half dark at this time, and he only saw a vague back and left in a hurry.
He felt a little bad in his heart, turned back to the house, closed the door, and told the children to eat quickly.
When the children heard the words, they worked harder to dry the rice, and it didn't take long for a large pot of fish soup and several bowls of chicken to come to an end.
Shen Zhengwen didn't dare to delay, and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks while the rice was still in his mouth, but he heard a chaotic footsteps outside.
He went to the window to check, and saw a large group of people coming towards his yard with torches.
Oops, it's too late!
