Chapter 16: A Harvest of Fish
She also rode the bicycle away, and when she slipped back to the courtyard, she saw that Teacher Liao was fiddling with flowers and plants again, still holding a shower in her hand.
"Teacher Liao, it's early!"
"No, Zhang Qian, why are you back at this time?"
Liao Hongbing's eyes widened, wearing glasses, not dazzling.
"I'll come back and get something."
Zhang Qian parked her bicycle in the front yard and followed her to the backyard to get the fishing rod, which made the aunts who didn't work in the yard stunned.
Mrs. Xue muttered in a weird way: "A young girl, I don't know how to work hard every day, which point is better than my family Xue Ling, and she doesn't do her job." ”
Teacher Liao was quite interested in Zhang Qian's bicycle, which would be researched, and he was so greedy that he suddenly saw Zhang Qian coming back with a fishing rod, and he was directly numb.
"What are you doing with a fishing rod when you go to work today?"
"Of course it's fishing, you're busy, I'll go first."
Teacher Liao wanted to ask a few more questions, but the person had already ridden away.
After that, he'll have to go to school.
Zhang Qian rode a bicycle all the way out from Dongzhi Gate, and there was a moat outside, and she searched along the river for a while, and finally found a suitable location.
Take out the tools from the vegetable field and smash open the ice hole, and the real fishing is coming.
……
Xue family.
"Mom, I heard that Zhou Jianguo went to work in the textile factory and replaced Zhang Qian's position."
As soon as Xue Ling entered the door after work, a word made the old lady stand on the spot.
"What did you say, Zhou Jianguo went to the textile factory?"
What the hell was going on, she couldn't understand it.
"Mom, now Zhou Jianguo is at work to support Zhang Qian.
said that Zhang Qian was sick, but she could go out fishing, does this look like a patient? ”
"Forget it, let's leave other people's housework alone, it doesn't matter who goes to work."
Although Mrs. Xue was a little surprised, she didn't want to comment too much.
With the news of the textile factory, brought back to the courtyard, the residents have fried the pot.
"Look, isn't that Zhang Qian, she's back, oops, she's catching a big fish."
Suddenly, some residents screamed, and everyone hurriedly heard the sound and looked over.
I saw Zhang Qian pushing a bicycle, and a slightly shorter fishing rod was tied to the car, and the key was that there was a big fish weighing four or five catties hanging on the handlebar.
"Zhang Qian, where did you catch the fish?"
Liao Hongbing jumped up and rushed forward in a few steps, his eyes were so hot that he couldn't do it, he made a lot of money.
"Just outside the moat of Dongzhi Gate, I also caught a duck."
Hearing her say this, everyone saw a big white duck tied to the back seat of the bicycle.
"Oh my God, you're so lucky!"
Liao Hongbing's eyes were red, his salary was low, and it was not easy to feed a large family, so he wanted to think about what to do to subsidize the family.
As a result, Zhang Qian has only been out for a day, and it is a fish and a duck, God is not fair.
"It's okay, what, I have to go back, I haven't eaten dinner yet."
Zhang Qian said this, but slowly pushed the bicycle for a while before walking from the middle courtyard to the backyard.
Everyone noticed the big fish, but they ignored that there was a small fish two fingers wide and half a weight hanging on the handlebar, which was her receipt today.
It almost ended in the Air Force, and as for the big fish and duck, she took it out of the rewarded vegetable field.
There were wild ducks on the edge of the moat, but they could fly, and she chased them for a while, but she didn't touch the duck feathers, so she gave up a long time ago.
"I'm back."
Zhou Jianguo had already cooked and was just carrying a basin and preparing to come out to wash clothes.
"Ah, what a big fish!"
"And ducks!"
Zhang Qian was up, unlucky, and came to make up.
"Come, take the fish and stew it, and keep the ducks to lay their eggs."
"Hey! I'll catch some cabbage, stew braised fish and drink soup, and I'll give you some peanuts and a good drink at night. ”
Zhou Jianguo rolled up his sleeves neatly, took the fish to the side of the pool and processed it, scraped the scales, and removed the gills.
Many of the residents in the courtyard came to see the excitement.
Seeing Zhang Qian leaning on the chair with a teacup in her hand, and Zhou Jianguo actually killing fish, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"Why let the bad guys be proud and the good guys cry."
"Zhang Qian, how can she be so lucky, such a big fish, but she can finally open meat."
"I'm afraid you're thinking too much, just like Zhang Qian, it's good to be able to give people some fish soup."
"Let's go fishing when we want, and that duck, how greedy, it's still alive, and it can lay eggs if you keep it."
Xue Ling was already holding the rice bowl and preparing to eat, the fish next door had a strong and strong fragrance, if there was nothing, it affected her thoughts, and she suddenly felt that the cabbage in the bowl was not fragrant.
Zhang Qian rested, and it was cold outside, so she went to the house to find a book to pass the time and waited for the meal.
As for going to the kitchen to help, that's thinking too much.
Xun Zi said: The gentleman is far away from cooking.
Confucius said: It makes sense.
"The peanuts are good, you drink them first, and the fish will be stewed for a while."
Zhou Jianguo came over with peanuts and brought wine bottles and cups.
"Well, the doctor said I would drink less to nourish my stomach."
"By the way, I'll boil more hot water and take a shower to avoid a fishy smell on my body."
"Hmm!"
Zhou Jianguo brought a large basin to the table, braised fish, the soup has oil, and he has an appetite when he looks at it.
"Okay, let's try to finish it all."
Zhang Qian took a piece of fish first, tasted it, and it tasted very good.
Seeing that there was a lot of fish, he couldn't bear it, and he ate it too.
"You really have the ability to catch such a big fish and come back."
"That's not it, you didn't see the scene at that time, as soon as the fish bit the hook, I knew that there was a big deal.
I grabbed the fishing rod and pulled it up for a while, which had to be replaced by someone else, and it would definitely be slippery. ”
Zhang Qian bragged, but the real situation was that she simply caught a small fish, and it fell on the ice as soon as she pulled it, and she didn't find any feeling.
"We'll have a banquet at the end of the week, and we'll go to your house. I'll have the things I need on Saturday, and we'll rush back to the village when you get off work. ”
Zhang Qian wanted to lose face in the Zhou family's village, and she would have to get married.
"Good! Don't waste it too much. ”
is still distressed about money, since he is married, he is already a member of the old Zhang family.
"I'll take care of this, don't worry about it!"
Zhang Qian put up the shelf, and there can only be one voice in the house, that is, she has the final say.
In the middle of the night, the fish in the basin was not finished, but it didn't matter, I was not afraid of spoiling it in winter.
After the meal, he went outside to wash the dishes and chopsticks, closed the duck, boiled the bath water on the stove, and then went to wash the clothes.
Early the next morning, Zhou Jianguo was worried that he would be late for work, so he woke up as soon as it was dawn, so he simply didn't sleep.
I got out of the bed and shivered from the cold, but it didn't matter, it wouldn't be cold when I worked.
When he had eaten breakfast, he warmed the extra portion of fish in the pot, and prepared hot water for washing his face and boiling water for drinking.
