Chapter Eighty-Seven: Fishing in the Pond
The next day, early in the morning.
Xia Guomin and his wife greeted the morning light and went to the street to buy vegetables.
When the couple bought vegetables and entered the house, it happened that Xia Youzhi came out of the room in a daze, looking stunned and cute.
The two looked at each other.
Compared with the anger and alienation when he first came back, Xia Youzhi is really softer and more cute now.
"Mom and Dad?" Xia Youzhi's sleepy eyes were worried, "Why did you come back from outside?" ”
"Hehe, I went grocery shopping with your dad in the morning." Xia Mu smiled and walked to the kitchen with the dishes, "Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, your father and I bought a big meat bun for you." ”
Xia Guomin also laughed on the side, and put aside the tables and chairs that he borrowed last night and scattered in the courtyard.
"Dad, didn't my mom and I buy groceries yesterday? How do you buy it again? Xia Youzhi asked with a yawn.
She came back late last night and went to bed after taking a shower, so something wasn't quite clear.
"Your eldest brother said that he wanted to invite Mr. Yan's family, and it is estimated that there will be three or four people on the other side, and I will sum up with your mother, then we must invite the village cadres, and there will be five or six people, then this dish will not be enough." Xia Guomin explained with a smile.
Xia Youzhi nodded, "Then I'll call Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang." ”
"Okay." Xia Guomin said with a smile.
He had heard his wife talk about cooperating with Uncle Zhang.
"Why haven't you brushed your teeth yet?"
Xia Mu came out of the kitchen and saw that Xia Youzhi was still in place.
Under the sun, Xia Youzhi's facial features are delicate and her figure is slender, and the more she looks at it, the more she thinks her daughter is good-looking.
"I'll go now."
Xia Youzhi answered and walked into the kitchen to get a toothbrush.
She was now fully conscious.
"This kid is good in every way, but he loves to sleep lazy."
Mother Xia watched Xia Youzhi walk into the kitchen, turned her head and smiled at Father Xia.
"It's not a bad thing to love to sleep, let her sleep if she wants to. When it's time to go to school, I have to get up at five or six o'clock every day, and I'm tired. Xia Guozhong smiled.
He is a man, unlike his wife, who can express anything, but he loves his daughter no less than his wife.
"My dad was right, I'll be tired of going to school by then." Xia Youzhi walked out of the kitchen with a toothbrush, "By the way, Mom, where are my brother and Qinglin?" ”
I didn't see anyone early in the morning.
"Your Uncle Zhang's fish pond was released last night, and Linlin asked your eldest brother to take him to fish early this morning." Xia Mu smiled.
Xia Youyi was stunned.
After a while, she remembered that the "Uncle Zhang" mentioned by Xia's mother was Zhang Erbald, who lived next door to her uncle.
"Why so early?" Xia Youzhi's mouth was full of foam.
"It's not early, it's ten o'clock now, hehe."
Xia's mother's words made Xia Youzhi a little embarrassed.
If this is changed to the afterlife, it will be too late to get up at ten o'clock.
But in the countryside, everyone has been doing farm work for a while.
"Okay, hurry up and brush your teeth and eat steamed buns, and go and call your eldest brother back in a while."
Xia Mu urged with a smile, turned around and went into the kitchen again.
There is a lot of work in the kitchen, and the borrowed dishes and chopsticks have to be washed again.
Father Xia also went out, and he still had to kill chickens.
Today's banquet is eaten in the afternoon, and the afternoon banquet for rural people usually starts at three or four o'clock.
Xia Youzhi brushed his teeth, took two large meat buns, and went out.
I have to say that the buns are really big and affordable now, and there are more fillings.
Zhang Erbald's fish pond is at the end of the village, not far from Xia You's home.
Before he walked to the fish pond, Xia Youzhi saw a bunch of people standing on the edge of the fish pond from a distance.
Among them, there are also her eldest aunts Huang Lianzhi and Zhang Chunhua.
These two screamed the loudest.
"This way, this way...... Ah...... Swam over there...... Come on. ”
"Right there, big cow, where do you look, oops...... Grab it, you dead boy. ”
“……”
Xia Youzhi stepped forward slowly, and the onlookers didn't notice her.
The water in the pond had become shallow overnight, revealing the silt in the morning light, but in some places it was knee-deep.
The child was ordered not to go near the depths of the water.
The fish pond is quite large, and it is not crowded with so many people going down to touch the fish.
Xia Youzhi looked around.
Not far from the side, I saw Xia Qinglin rolling up his trousers, lowering his head and digging into the silt, and placing a short-legged bucket next to him.
Xia Youzhi stretched his neck, but he couldn't see what Xia Qinglin was in the bucket.
It was Xia Qinglin who saw Xia Youzhi, "Sister." ”
Xia Qinglin waved his hands full of mud, only to see that his face was already stained with some mud.
Like a little flower cat.
The people next to him heard Xia Qinglin's excited shout and looked sideways.
Huang Lianzhi and Zhang Chunhua also discovered Xia Youzhi.
The difference is that a trace of embarrassment flashed on Huang Lianzhi's face, while Zhang Chunhua had a look of disdain.
Xia Youzhi's expression was faint, ignoring everyone's gaze.
She waved at Xia Qinglin in the fish pond.
Xia Qinglin carried the bucket and staggered towards Xia Youzhi.
"Be careful, Qinglin." Xia Youzhi smiled.
"I'm fine, sister."
Xia Qinglin shouted while running with difficulty.
As soon as he finished speaking, his right leg stuck in the mud couldn't keep up with the speed, and he fell forward in a daze.
Frightened, he hurriedly held on with both hands, but the mud in the fish pond was soft, and when he pulled it out, the clothes on his body were all dirty, and the tip of his nose was planted forward, and a large lump of mud was stained.
There was good-natured laughter all around.
Xia Youzhi also couldn't stop laughing.
Xia Qinglin didn't care, and ran towards Xia Youzhi with the bucket again, but this time the speed was much slower.
Now he is not afraid of others laughing at him.
When he ran to Xia Youzhi's feet, Xia Youzhi hurriedly squatted down.
The fish pond was more than one meter high, much taller than Xia Qinglin, and he looked up at Xia Youzhi slightly.
"Sister, you see, I caught a lot with my eldest brother."
Xia Qinglin showed Xia Youzhi his achievements with some pride.
Xia Youzhi glanced at the bucket.
This is not a small gain.
There is a larger fish, which looks like it weighs almost three catties, and it is estimated that it is a fish that has slipped through the net.
The rest were a few palm-sized fish, and there were more than a dozen loaches.
Xia Youzhi smiled, reached out and touched Xia Qinglin's head, and praised, "Why are you so powerful?" ”
"Actually, it was all caught by the eldest brother, so I caught a loach."
As he spoke, Xia Qinglin pointed to the loach in the bucket that was obviously more yellow.
Xia Youzhi's eyes narrowed with a smile.
Her brother is also very powerful, and he can recognize which one he caught.
The uncle standing on the side also saw the harvest in the bucket, and said with a smile, "Yes, Qinglin, I caught so much." ”
Xia Qinglin scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
Now even the hair is stained with mud.
Xia Youzhi smiled.
Huang Lianzhi and Zhang Cuihua, who were standing not far away, listened and were also very curious.
"Let's go, let's go see how much your nephew has caught."
As she spoke, Zhang Chunhua pulled Huang Lianzhi and walked over.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a long time, young man, where have you usually gone?"
Before Zhang Chunhua walked in, the words floated over first.
Xia Youzhi glanced up at her and put away his smile, "It's home, where else can I go?" Aunt Chunhua. ”
"Then you can really hide it, my aunt hasn't seen you for a long time, hehe." Zhang Chunhua said with a smile.
Xia Youzhi didn't squeak.
It's been a long time since I've seen her, she was busy delivering goods before, and she was busy with other things after delivering the goods, or staying at home to study her recipes, so it was a long time since she saw Zhang Chunhua.
While speaking, Zhang Chunhua and Huang Lianzhi had already walked up.
"Yo, that's a lot, and there's a big one." Zhang Chunhua's eyes were a little hot.
Her man went to the threshing floor early in the morning, and her son was the only one in the fish pond, and he had dug a few loaches so far.
She was in a hurry, if it weren't for a woman who didn't look like a woman, she would have wanted to do it herself.
"Yes, Aunt Chunhua, this is my eldest brother's catch."
Xia Qinglin couldn't understand these sour words when he was young, so he only regarded Zhang Chunhua as a boast of himself.
"Yes, your big brother is amazing." Zhang Chunhua Yin Yang Strange Qi Dao.
"Well, my eldest brother was also admitted to Kyoto University, which is the most powerful school, and my eldest brother is amazing." Xia Qinglin continued.
Zhang Chunhua choked.
Little bunny, who wants to tell you that your big brother is amazing.
Xia Youzhi on the side held back a smile.
"Hehe, it's pretty powerful." Zhang Chunhua smiled awkwardly, and then her eyes rolled, "Qinglin, your eldest brother has caught so many fish, and you don't see a big cow." ”
Xia Qinglin nodded, "The big cow is too bad to catch it." ”
Zhang Chunhua's face was a little bad.
She sneered, "yes, useless guy. Hehe, I guess we don't have any fish to eat at noon today. ”
"What then?" Xia Qinglin said with some sympathy.
Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Zhang Chunhua's face, "Isn't it okay to give Qinglinyun to my aunt?" So that our family will have fish to eat. ”
When Xia Qinglin heard this, he was a little overwhelmed.
Rao is Huang Lianzhi was also stunned by Zhang Chunhua's operation.
The uncle on the side glanced at Zhang Chunhua, but in the end he didn't squeak and walked away silently.
He's a big man, and it's not good to quarrel with women.
Xia Youzhi didn't speak from beginning to end, the look on her face was faint, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"How? Qinglin. Zhang Chunhua continued to coax the child, "You can just give one." ”
"Sister?" Xia Qinglin looked at Xia Youzhi at a loss.
Xia Youzhi looked at Zhang Chunhua, "I don't know which one Aunt Chunhua wants?" ”
As soon as Zhang Chunhua saw Xia Youzhi speak, she hurriedly spoke, "It's just the big one, it's enough for our family to eat." My aunt's family has a large population, six or seven people, and I'm afraid that I won't have enough to eat if I'm small, hehe. ”
Huang Lianzhi on the side looked at Xia Youzhi's cold eyes, and quickly pulled Zhang Chunhua.
Zhang Chunhua ignored it and waited for Xia Qinglin to give her the fish.
\"You don't have any fish to eat, what's our business?" Xia Youzhi curled the corners of his lips and said sarcastically.
Zhang Chunhua was stunned.
I didn't expect Xia Youzhi to say it so bluntly.
Even if the average girl doesn't want to give it anymore, she will find a bunch of reasons first.
For this, Zhang Chunhua has more ways to deal with it.
"Youzhi, a villager, if you talk like this, it's hard to hear." Zhang Chunhua pulled down her face.
She was actually downfaced again by a little girl.
"You look so ugly, and you still think I speak ugly?" Xia Youzhi said sarcastically.
"You!" Zhang Chunhua was so angry that she pointed at Xia Youzhi.
Xia Youzhi's eyes became even colder, "Aunt Chunhua, you may not know, I hate it most in my life when people point at me, if you don't want this finger of yours to be broken, it's best to put it away now." ”
The group hadn't cleaned up for too long, and they started kicking their noses in the face again.
