Chapter 25: Making Excuses for the Nest
Jiro took one from her hand, pouted on her clothes, and handed it to her.
I was wronged in the field just now, and now I have Erlang warm.
The tip of her nose was sore, and she almost cried.
Jiro handed the fruit over again, and when he saw that she didn't move, he handed it forward.
Chen Xiaonian took the fruit and took a bite, the flesh was thick and the juice was sweet.
Suddenly, she had an idea.
However, it was getting late today, and Chen Xiaonian decided to go up the mountain again after returning from the town tomorrow.
The two went home together, Wang had already prepared a meal, and when he saw her come back, he asked her, "Nian, you quarreled with Aunt Song again today?" ”
Heshan Village is not big, and a little bit of a quarrel can be spread anywhere.
She nodded, "Noisy." Not only did I quarrel with her, but I quarreled with several people. ”
Erlang's eyes tightened, put down his chopsticks, and looked her up and down. Although she couldn't speak, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Erlang was worried about her.
"Mother, don't worry, I can still suffer in the hands of others?"
Wang chuckled in his heart.
"Nian, the third aunt came over just now and said, Chen Xiangwen and his mother were arrested by the government in the town today? Heard...... What does this have to do with you? ”
When Chen Xiaonian heard this, he was annoyed.
She hadn't mentioned it yet, but they had come to cry out first.
She put down her chopsticks and told her about today's events in the town.
The Wang family was angry when he heard this, "I'll go to the patriarch now and ask him to evaluate our family!" ”
Chen Xiaonian stood up and wanted to go to the patriarch with the Wang family, and by the way, tell me about today's affairs in the field.
Just as she was about to lift her feet to leave, Erlang stopped her and shook his head at her.
"Why? His family can talk everywhere, but our family can't even reason? ”
Jiro dipped some porridge with chopsticks and wrote two words on the table.
Green peach.
Yes, Cui Tao is about to marry Chen Xiangwen's family.
"Yikes! Can my uncle write? ”
Wang stared at the two words on the table, very surprised.
Only the patriarch in Heshan Village has some knowledge, and the others can write their personal names, which is already good.
It is precisely because of this that Wang was coaxed and deceived by the people in the gambling house to sign the IOU, so that he still owes more than 100 taels of silver.
Thinking of that sum of money, Chen Xiaonian instantly lost his appetite.
"Uncle's writing is really beautiful."
After listening to Wang's praise, Chen Xiaonian remembered to read his words, but Erlang had already erased the words on the table with his sleeve.
Wang was embarrassed to be Erlang, smiled with relief, and hurried them to eat quickly.
After eating, Wang took out the cloth tiger he had made.
"Is that what you're talking about?"
Seeing the cloth tiger, Chen Xiaonian's mood was a little better.
Wang's female red kung fu is really good, just those corner rags can be so vivid.
Seeing that his daughter liked it so much, Wang was also happy, but in a blink of an instant, he remembered other things, and the smile on Wang's face slowly took it back.
The next day, Chen Xiaonian and Erlang took two cakes made by the Wang family last night and went out early, but when they arrived at the river, Chen Xiangwen's family was already busy in the river.
"It's a ghost."
As soon as Chen Xiaonian finished scolding, Fang Shi, who was standing by the river pinching his waist and shouting Chen Xiangwen catching fish, pointed here and scolded again.
"This river belongs to your family? As long as the government nods and says that this river is yours, the old lady will leave now. ”
"Yo, didn't you already go to the yamen yesterday, why didn't you ask by the way?"
Fang's eyes widened, and he raised his feet to come over. "You little hoof, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Jiro had already clenched his fists, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go over. Fang Shi was so frightened that he retreated again and again, "What are you doing?" Do you still want to hit someone? ”
Chen Xiangwen wanted to protect his mother, but he knew that he couldn't get any benefits in Erlang's hands, so he could only stand in the water and bark at Ula here, Erlang glared at him coldly, and he lowered his head like a mourning dog and hummed, not daring to look at it again.
When the Fang family came home yesterday, the first thing she did was to beat up her man, Chen Zhitang, today, Chen Zhitang didn't follow him to be embarrassed, but he didn't expect his son to be unreliable.
Fang's face was pale, he couldn't scold Chen Xiaonian, and he didn't dare to fight Erlang, so he could only point at Chen Xiangwen who was standing in the river and scold him.
Chen Xiaonian didn't want to be involved with his family, but since he had come, he couldn't go home empty-handed.
She shouted Erlang to go to the other side, separated from them by a distance, she wanted to go into the water herself, but she had to take off her shoes when she got into the water, Chen Xiangwen was over there, how could Erlang be willing, and insisted on letting her stay on the shore.
Chen Xiaonian had already soaked the bamboo basket with spiritual spring water, and the bamboo basket was only in the water, and when he got up, it was already full of fish.
Chen Xiangwen and Fang on the other side were dumbfounded.
The fish in their basket are only the size of a finger, and there are only a few, some of which can only be counted as small fry, but on the other hand, on Jian Erlang's side, the fish are jumping in the bamboo basket vividly, and a few of them really jump out and jump back into the water.
What the hell.
Chen Xiangwen didn't believe in evil, so he came over to take a look, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Erlang's feet are surrounded by fish!
Those fish were not afraid of people at all, and they rushed to his feet like crazy, like dumplings in a pot. Even if you don't use a bamboo basket, you can hold several pieces with your hands.
Erlang was not greedy, and handed it to Chen Xiaonian after installing the bamboo basket, two baskets of small fish, and two big fish.
These two big ones are as long as an arm, and they can be sold for dozens of dollars.
"What are you doing in a daze, go catch it!"
Fang Shi looked anxious, simply took off his shoes and socks, picked up his pants and got into the water.
Because I was in a hurry, I slipped in the water.
Chen Xiangwen reacted at this time, and he didn't care how painful Erlang's beating was, and the dripping water wanted to come to their place to catch fish.
But when they arrived, not a single fish could be seen.
And Erlang had already put on his shoes, and the two of them left with a full harvest.
Fang slapped his thigh with hatred. "You're as shit as your father! You can't catch a single fish! ”
Chen Xiangwen thinks about it, how do he think this thing is too evil.
"Mother, this place is not clean, let's go quickly."
Fang slapped him on the head, "What can earn money is a clean place!" Make fewer excuses for your pockets. ”
scolded like this, in fact, Fang Shi also muttered in his heart.
They arrived earlier, looked up and down, and made sure that there were only a few fry in the water. But when Jian Erlang got out of the water, those fish appeared out of thin air, and it was still such a big battle.
What the hell.
Fang was shocked.
"Could it be that this son-in-law of her family is really a lucky star?"
Chen Xiangwen covered his head and scolded, "What a star!" It's clearly witchcraft! It's sorcery! I'll report to the government tomorrow! ”
Fang's eyes rolled and he said, "Son, come here, my mother will tell you ......"
