Chapter 13: There Are Three Fish
"Where did the fish come from?"
Xu Dahai's face was full of surprise, he lowered his voice, if the neighbors knew, maybe they would dare to unload their door to rob it.
"Your daughter-in-law went to the river to catch it today, I really lost my eyes, this girl has the ability, if there is a big river in Linjia Village, I'm afraid it won't be our turn to marry her."
Li Xiuzhi really didn't expect that Lin Wanwan would have such courage and ability, she only felt that the cornmeal tortilla at noon was not made in vain.
"Oh, the river at the head of the village knows that there are fish, but the water is so urgent that no one dares to jump into it, she is very capable."
Xu Dahai exclaimed, the river has drowned many people, and no one dares to approach easily, who would have thought that Lin Wanwan not only went, but also really caught the fish.
"There are three fish, I stewed one, and the other two will be raised first, and I will eat them tomorrow."
Li Xiuzhi also didn't dare to say anything, but she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, with this fish, she could also make up for Xu Luqing's body.
"But don't dare to call her again, if something happens, how can we explain to the people of the Lao Lin family."
Although Li Xiuzhi is happy to have fish to eat, she is not a person without conscience, and she will not ask Lin Wanwan to risk the danger to catch fish and raise a family.
"Tomorrow I will take her out to dig wild vegetable roots, so that I can watch her, and save her from going to that dangerous place."
Li Xiuzhi thought in her heart, if you put people under your nose, you can always see it.
"I think it's okay, she's fine at home."
Xu Dahai also thinks this is a good idea, the girl is a good girl, but she is too wild, and I don't know if his family can stand it.
He, an old father, was idle for no reason.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, you light the fire for me, and I'll wash and throw the wild vegetable roots into it, otherwise the soup made by this small fish will definitely not be enough for the family."
Li Xiuzhi is not a worrying person, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to take out a bag of cornmeal in exchange for Lin Wanwan at this juncture.
When Xu Dahai heard this, he didn't say anything, sat down in the stove, and began to take firewood and send it to the stove.
Li Xiuzhi quickly poured the wild vegetable root into a large basin and washed it with water. Although they still have water, it is difficult to fetch water every time, so they use water sparingly.
After washing the water of the wild vegetable roots, Li Xiuzhi did not pour it out, but kept it for brushing the pot.
This is a very sparse and ordinary thing, after all, a meal of corn paste, adding water to it, and heating it again and again, is already a routine operation in every household.
There is no food, no water, and the peasant families have no choice.
Counting the days, they have not seen rain since last autumn, and now it has been about 200 days.
If it goes on like this, I don't know if they will be able to hold on.
Li Xiuzhi couldn't help sighing, and asked Lin Wanwan to go to the river to catch fish, they were not at ease, and they didn't want to go, if they didn't ask Lin Wanwan to go, the little food at home didn't know how long it would last.
"Old woman, what are you sighing about?"
Xu Dahai noticed Li Xiuzhi's movements, even if he knew why she was worried, he couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, it's just that today's wild vegetable roots are less dug, and tomorrow I will dig farther away with the evening evening."
Li Xiuzhi shook her head, she didn't want to put any more pressure on Xu Dahai, so she found an excuse to fool her.
