Chapter 12: There is not much food at home
Lin Wanwan carefully took out the basin from the corner, and there were three palm-sized grass carp inside.
"Wanwan, where are you from?"
Li Xiuzhi looked at her in surprise, it was already very good to be able to eat a bite of cornmeal at this time, this fish is a real river fresh, and money can't buy it!
"I went to catch it in the river at the head of the village, Mom, let's eat fish tonight."
Lin Wanwan looked at the fish, couldn't help swallowing her saliva, she had eaten corn flour tortillas, and she felt that the fish was even more delicious.
"Okay, you go and close the door, I'll clean up, let's cook fish soup and drink."
Li Xiuzhi nodded, this fish is not big, if it is made into a dish, it is not enough for the family to eat a few bites, but if it is mixed with more water and boiled into soup, the family can drink it.
It's a pity that at this time, there is neither tofu nor vegetables at home, and even cornmeal has to be planned to eat.
When Xu Dahai came back with two buckets full of water, the smell of fish soup was already wafting out of the kitchen.
He quickly closed the door and carried the water to the kitchen.
"Why is it so late today?"
Li Xiuzhi was burning the fire, looked up at him, and continued to work again.
"There are a lot of people, it's late, and I can't stand in line."
Xu Dahai sighed, it was not easy for these two buckets of water to be full.
"I see, these two wells will be eaten dry sooner or later, and if it doesn't rain again, we will have to wait for death."
If it weren't for the fact that the river was really dangerous, Lin Wanwan would have been seen when he caught the fish, maybe even the fish would have been robbed.
At this time, Lin Wanwan didn't know the result of the discussion between the old couple at all, and was in the room at this time to "sue" with Xu Luqing.
"Xu Luqing, my mother only stewed one fish, and if you want me to say that the stew is much better, it would be good to go to the river to catch it after eating."
Xu Luqing didn't dare to let her go again, so he went this time, and he was worried for a long time.
"Just eat fish once to quench your cravings, don't go to that place in the future, if you have a good one, I can't even get out of bed, but what should I do?"
"Don't worry, I'm amazing, nothing will happen."
Lin Wanwan said with a smile, she has always lived a life of survival in the wild in the last days, which is much more dangerous than here.
There are no mutated plants or ferocious beasts here, so it's so safe!
"You, I know you have a lot of strength, but there are some things that can't be solved with a lot of strength."
Xu Luqing shook his head helplessly, he looked at Lin Wanwan like a little sister, quite doting.
"Listen to me, don't go there, let's think of another way."
Lin Wanwan felt that she was underestimated, but she didn't dare to tell Xu Luqing that she was no longer the original Lin Wanwan, and this little problem would not bother her at all.
"But I'm not going, what are we going to eat?"
Lin Wanwan didn't want to eat wild grass roots, it was unpalatable and insatiable, and it didn't help her recover her abilities.
Xu Dahai's dark face was full of sorrow, and he couldn't straighten his waist under the weight of the family.
"Xiuzhi, what are you making so fragrant, there is not much food at home, you can't be like when you can see food."
He knew that Li Xiuzhi was for this family and for his son.
But the son can't get out of bed now, and the family can only rely on the two of them to support themselves.
"Don't worry, I told you to have a good meal today, and you don't need to touch the food."
Li Xiuzhi stood up with a smile and lifted the lid of the pot for him to see.
