"She's right, after all, it's your aunt and not your own mother, so you don't have the obligation to care about what you eat and drink, this steamed bun is indeed a precious thing, what you didn't eat is your father's problem, and it really has nothing to do with her."

Zhou Xingping stood at the door expressionlessly, and Mu Ne's face was numb.

"I'm giving you two a piece, who let me pick you up for nothing! What is your name? Shui Qing asked the little girl.

"My name is Cao Mozi, and my brother's name is Catfish Bubble."

"What's the name? Why is it so short-lived? Your nickname in the future will be Caomozi! This name is a thin ghost at a glance, the back of your house is facing the tip of the moon, the bright and clear moon, Lang Lang Bishan Yan, your name is simply called 'Yan Yue', and your brother is called 'Yan Lang'. ”

"Yanyue is easy to feed with stones, and the name of the mountain and the stone means that the boy will also be responsible in the future, and in the future, your brother's nickname will be the stone, and the name of the fish bubble is too light, and the boy can't be tethered."

"Hmmm! I'm not called Caomozi brother! ”

"I'm not calling Catfish Bubble anymore," the boy was clearly pleased with the name.

"Eat steamed buns, get up early tomorrow morning and go with me to the lake to fish and sell for money."

"Good!" The two children happily agreed.

After the three of them finished eating the buns in the house, the water came out to fetch water for the two of them to wash their faces and hands.

"When you all grow up, you will sleep separately, Cao Mozi will start sleeping in the same room with me tonight, and Stone will sleep in the same room with your father."

"Got it, mother."

"Daddy for you," the stone entered another room in the dark, and took out half a piece of bread from his bosom near the ground bun and quickly stuffed it into his father's hand.

Zhou Xingping touched the warm steamed bun and looked at his son by the moonlight, and saw his little nose and small eyes looking at the door vigilantly.

"Dad, don't worry, I took advantage of my mother's dispensing for me to pretend to be inattentive," he whispered in his father's ear.

Zhou Xingping took a bite of the steamed bun and couldn't swallow it for a long time, and soon there was the sound of breathing in the next room, and then the sound of breathing next to him, he didn't know how he fell asleep this night.

The sky was slightly bright, and a faint sound was heard, followed by the sound of the door opening, and a dim light walked out of the house and went to the pot house.

Zhou Xingping got up and got dressed and went out to look, and saw that Shui Qing was stirring noodles and cooking in the pot house, so he limped away with the family's fishing net.

The pot was covered with a lid and simmered, Shui Qing took the snatched broom and began to clean up without a head, and cleaned up the broken house like an ash heap.

She can only accept her fate, and she can't really die! A day is a day, and whose poor days are not survived! Shui Qing constantly self-comforted to self-hypnosis.

The house was swept inside and out, and she took out her fishing nets and began to inspect them, sprinkling mud-covered grass in them.

When everything was packed up and it was dawn, she went into the house and called the child up to eat.

Cao Mozi rubbed his eyes and wore his clothes for a long time, Shui Qing smelled a faint smell on his clothes next to him, "Do you have any other clothes to wear?" ”

"No, it's just that my little aunt changed it to me."

Shui Qing could only choke, turned around and went to the box she brought back, and turned out a brand new flower cloth at the bottom of the box, as well as a coarse blue cloth without flowers, which was specially bought for her by Wang Changxing's wife when she was there, and she was never willing to make clothes and put them under the box, come on! Save half a day for others to save money!

He did not show the child, but he hid the cloth again and put it away, and when he came out, he saw that the stones were standing at the door.

"Come and wash, whether a person is rich or poor, he must wash himself every day," Shui Qing explained like an old mother while watching the two children wash their faces and rinse their mouths.

"Come over for breakfast, we're going to row and go fishing."

"Do you still have breakfast when fishing?" Cao Mozi asked strangely.

"If you don't eat breakfast, how can you have the strength to fish? Have you never had breakfast? ”

"No, grandpa has eaten Brother Chunsheng," Cao Mozi replied after thinking for a while.

Shui Qing didn't bother to ask anymore, shoveled two large pieces of steamed buns and handed them to the two children, and poured water on them, "Hurry up and eat, I'll come with something," she turned around and went out to find a small hanging pot and flint and threw it into the wooden barrel.

When I returned to the pot house, I also ate a piece of steamed buns, shoveled up the excess steamed buns and put them in a basket to take away.

"Mother, can you leave a piece for my father?" The stone eyes looked at the water clearly.

Shui Qing looked at the steamed bun in his hand, and had to unwillingly take a piece and put it in the bowl to cover it.

When they came to the boat, the two children were very careful to touch the boat, their eyes were happy and proud, don't look at living by the lake, some families can't afford to buy a boat for several lifetimes, the whole family's days rely on wooden rafts floating and casting nets, and even wooden rafts can't afford to buy.

"Sit down!" After Shui Qing finished speaking to the two children, he slid the paddle towards the center of the lake.

The boat drifted farther and farther away from Zhou's house, and there was no one fishing on the entire lake, so she used the stern of the boat to prop up the fishing net and cast it all the way.

The stone looked very curious, "I don't think grandpa is spreading the net like this?" ”

"That's your grandfather and not me, I have an exclusive secret recipe for casting nets, I'll take you to the reeds to pick up duck eggs and eat them."

"Teal eggs?" The stone is a boy who is naughty in his bones after all, and his eyes immediately sparkle.

"If you're lucky, catch two ducks and eat them, and if not, pick up duck eggs and go back to the tooth sacrifice."

The two children also paddled hard into the reeds with their oars.

The reeds were not very big from a distance, but when they got closer, they saw at least one or two hundred square meters in size, and the reeds more than one person high were fluttering in the wind.

"What a wild duck! Really! Stone said excitedly, pointing to the grass.

"Absolutely! I used to come by myself," Shui Qing didn't care about rowing the boat to a shallow place and leashing it, and took the two children into the reeds.

"It's all hard and shallow cement here!"

"How can reeds grow without mud? There is a large lake near here, just this silly child with mud, "Shui Qing finished speaking and began to pull the dead grass, there were a lot of eggs in the grass, most of them were not as big as wild duck eggs, and there were goose and goose eggs the size of a few years old children's fists.

She picked it up when she saw it, whether it was good or bad, and looked at the sun, some of which she put in a bucket, and some of which she put into the grass with a grass wipe.

"Mother, don't you pick them all up?" Cao Mozi looked at it and asked very strangely.

"Some of them have life inside, and you can't eat or drink them when you pick them up, and when they break their shells and grow up, and there is a new wave of water ducks, won't we be able to pick up more eggs? There are also eggs that can't be rubbed back on, and the eggs that have been touched by people feel that the breath is wrong and will not touch them. ”

Shui Qing scattered a small net while picking up things, and the two children learned to look at duck eggs with her, and the eldest and two small left laughter all the way in the reeds.

At noon, he dug a pit in a dry open field, and Shui Qing brought a small hanging pot to scoop water and hang it, and then went to cut a reed pole to light the fire.

"Is there anything in the net?"

"Yes," the stone brother and sister ran over with the net on their faces excited.

Shui Qing took the net and grabbed a large handful of shrimp from it, threw it directly into the hanging pot to boil, poured the water, continued to heat it, poured some lard into it, turned it over, sprinkled a little salt with water and boiled, and put the steamed buns brought into the bubbles.

"Eat with a bowl!"

When the stone heard the command, he hurriedly took out three bowls from the bucket.

Shui Qing scooped most of the half bowl of shrimp for their brother and sister, and sandwiched a piece of steamed bun.

"Delicious! It's better than grandma's cooking! ”

Shui Qing looked at the two of them, "Can it be delicious if you put lard?" If it weren't for the two of you today, I would just boil it and put some salt, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. ”

"Mother's barrel really has everything!" Iwatsuki said with emotion.

Shui Qing laughed and didn't refute them, after eating at noon, the three of them rested and ran to the boat to sleep.

When I woke up, it was not too early to see that it was getting dark, and I began to collect my nets along the shallow water of the reeds, and the water was clear and rowed along the grass to lay wild ducks.

Her patience and perseverance were not wasted, and an hour later, she netted a dozen wild ducks in the deepest part of the net, which looked not small, and it was bad for the two children to worship.

Dragged the duck net onto the boat, and collected all the small nets around it, and the three of them rowed back towards the Zhuangzi with a big oar.

Shui Qing rowed all the way, grabbing mud into the big net from time to time and throwing it in, until the small boat was fluttering close to the shore in front of Zhou's house when the lantern was held.

Many people on the shore were noisily talking with torches, and they couldn't help crying when they watched the boat approaching Zhou's mother.

"Isn't this fishing? Who said they took the kids away? A man in his thirties in the crowd asked sharply.

"Who would have thought that she would take her children to fish? Who's going to fish for a day? The second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family shouted.

Shui Qing saw her temper and immediately came up, "Your children don't fish, and the whole family raises Chunsheng, and their brothers and sisters don't fish and drink water?" I have to slap you in the face to be happy, right? ”

"Mother-in-law, you see that she is still reasonable, she took the child to fish without saying a word......"

"What do you mean, I have to bow to you three times and tell you! Give you a good face, can you live in your pocket? I took the child to fish last night, what the child's father knew, did he die? Do you have to go around shouting and looking for someone? ”

"Look at the home of a cripple like you, are you in charge? Or you can be a mother to two children! In the province, you have to keep one eye and one ear here when you sleep at night, making such a big battle, I don't know if I think the child's father is dead! ”

"You...... You ......" Zhou motherly stroked her chest angrily, stammering as if she would die at any time.

"I'm going to tear your mouth today," the second daughter-in-law of the Zhou family cried angrily.

"Can you try to move me? I can weave you into a shuttle thread on the spot and scatter it in the lake, do you believe it? ”

"Don't you just want people to come and see me laughing? I don't care about you, I see that you are not happy enough to juggle, I really care about you and I think you are not good enough, you are now wronged, go to Zhou Cripple and cry! ”

"Let your little brother-in-law come over and give you a head, he dares to touch my finger today, the old lady respects him as a man, I will immediately kowtow to you eight times to make room, go!"

Li Zheng is taking a village of people away and not staying either, how can the third daughter-in-law bought by the Zhou family not be taboo? I dare to put on my head ...... man!

"If you don't have the guts to cover your face and leave, do you still stay here and be embarrassed? If you find a net at night and hang yourself under the lame window, everyone is a woman, can I not see your thoughts? Shui Qing sneered and looked at Sister-in-law Tuesday.

The second eldest of the Zhou family, Tie Qing, looked at Shui Qing with a blue face, and saw his younger brother drooping his head, and the whole person was no one.

"Go home," he said violently, pulling the man away.

"Under the hand of my eyelids, it is not enough to cry twice now, can I tie him up and send you to bed when the time comes? I won't let you worry about it all day, I'll just give you a rare one! ”

"You're going to spoil my three sons...... You're ......"

"What's wrong with me? I feel distressed and take it back! I'm not rare for you to hold it like a baby, he doesn't have the ambition and ability of his two children! ”

"Give me all home!" Father Zhou looked at his wife angrily.

The onlookers left again, and they had a little more pungent impression of Zhou Cripple's daughter-in-law.
