The captain nodded: "I'm back, we asked our relatives to send us over in a small boat." When I came over, the water level in the river was much higher, and if it rained tonight, I was afraid that the water would rise. ”

A few more polite words were spoken, and Lin Changyou pulled the captain to sit down and eat together, and when he left, he gave him the two black stick fish.

Seeing off the captain, Lin Changyou looked up at the sky, frowned, and said, "The mountain beams in the northeast corner are covered by dark clouds, and it looks like it will rain heavily tonight." ”

Experienced farmers on this side of the river know that once the mountain beam in the northeast corner is covered by dark clouds, it will rain heavily.

Wu Shufen looked at it after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the river embankment is so high, even if it rains heavily, the water will not overflow the river embankment." ”

Lao Li said: "There has been no big water for many years. ”

Lin Changyou thought for a while: "It's been thirty or forty years, right?" ”

Lao Li nodded: "Almost." ”

Wu Shufen cleaned up, boiled hot water, and everyone went back to the house to sleep after washing.

In the middle of the night, a thunderclap exploded on the roof, and Lin Lan woke up in shock, only to see a flash of lightning flashing by, illuminating the window in a bright light.

"Xiaolan, are you awake?"

"The thunder woke me up."

"It's going to rain heavily." Wu Shufen said and pulled the light line with her hand, but the light didn't turn on, "The power is out." ”

The power supply in the mountains is unstable, and the electricity is cut off for seven or eight days a month.

Lin Lan yawned and said, "The lightning flashed and thundered, maybe the gate was opened." ”

As he spoke, he heard the sound of "tick, tick" raindrops hitting the roof tiles, which became more and more dense, but in a few moments, the heavy rain began to fall.

Wu Shufen said to Lin Lan: "Sleep, we just picked up the roof before we left, and it won't leak rain." ”

"Hmm!" Lin Lan covered the quilt, thought of Xiaodouzi and Li Xiangyang sleeping in the same bed, and didn't worry that he was afraid, and fell asleep listening to the sound of rain.

I woke up the next morning feeling much more comfortable. I thought to myself, it's better to be young, have good resistance, and recover quickly.

She put on her clothes and trousers and went out, and the heavy rain had stopped, and the drizzle rustled and fell on the cascading rooftops, down the dark eaves.

Li Xiangyang came out of the room, saw her standing at the door of the hall, and said with a smile: "Are you better?" ”

Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, it's much more comfortable." ”

Xiaodouzi came out, saw that she was well, and happily ran over and pulled her: "Mom, how about we go fishing by the river today?" ”

Before Lin Lan could speak, Li Xiangyang said, "Mom just caught a cold, and the river is windy and can't go." ”

Lin Changyou came out of the stove room and said, "It's still raining, the water must be rising, I can't take you to the river to fish." ”

"Oh!" Xiaodouzi looked at Lin Lan, "Can I go to the ditch with Brother Xiaojun and them to fish?" ”

Lin Lan nodded: "I'll go again when the rain stops." ”

After everyone ate and played for a while, the rain was still dripping and dripping, and there was no sign of stopping.

Lin Changyou took the coat and came out, and said to Li Xiangyang and Lao Li: "In-laws, Xiangyang, let's go to the river to have a look, has the water risen?" ”

Lao Li smiled: "Bring the fishing net and cast a net to see." ”

Lin Chang nodded a little, turned around and went back to the house to get a fishing net, a urea bag, and the three of them prepared to go out.

Lin Jun pulled Lin Changyou: "Grandpa, we are going too." ”

Lin Changyou glared at him: "Just at home, when the rain stops, you are allowed to take your younger brothers and sisters to the ditch to fish." I tell you, you are not allowed to go to the river secretly, and I will catch you and break your legs. ”

Lin Jun pouted and looked at him: "It's not me who wants to go alone." ”

Lin Changyou knocked on his head with his fingers: "No matter which one wants to go, you are the biggest, if you don't take care of your younger siblings, I will look for you." ”

Under Lin Changyou's high pressure, Lin Jun nodded unwillingly: "I know." ”

"You guys are at home, and we'll fry the shrimp and eat them." Li Xiangyang waved at Lin Lan and Xiaodouzi, and went out with the old man and the old man.

Lin Jun and the others saw that the three of them were gone, and looking at the continuous light rain, their hearts were like cat's claws.

Wu Shufen remembered that the river shrimp that came back from the net yesterday had not been eaten, and said to a few people: "You go and get your homework to do, and your sister-in-law and I will fry the shrimp for you to eat." ”

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Mom, I want salt and pepper!" ”

Lin Lan smiled and pinched his nose: "You will eat." ”

Lin Jun also said that he wanted salt and pepper.

Lin Lan and Wu Shufen poured the river shrimp in the bucket into the basket, picked out the dirty things inside, scooped the water and rinsed it, drained the water and poured it into the pottery bowl.

Cut some ginger slices, pour some white wine, sprinkle some salt, mix well, marinate for more than ten minutes, then pick out the ginger slices, sprinkle a little flour and mix well, try to make each shrimp surface stick to dry flour.

Wu Shufen lit the firewood, and Lin Lan lifted the oil pot and poured a lot of oil into the pot.

Wu Shufen sighed: "The fried things are delicious, but they are too oil-intensive. ”

"That's it!"

Lin Lan waited for the oil to be hot, poured the shrimp into the pot, slid the shrimp with chopsticks, heated the shrimp evenly, fried over medium-low heat until crispy, took out the oil and poured it into the clay bowl, sprinkled two spoons of pepper and salt and mixed well, tasted it, crispy and delicious.

After Lin Lan pinched two for Wu Shufen to taste, she said, "Mom, Xiaojun, they have been writing for more than half an hour, bring them over and eat them!" ”

Wu Shufen nodded: "Go ahead, I'll scoop out the oil in the pot and filter it out." ”

Lin Lan went to the hall with the salt and pepper river shrimp: "The shrimp is fried, eat it for a while, and continue to do your homework." ”

Lin Jun put down the pen and put one in his mouth, chewed it twice, and praised: "It's so fragrant." ”

Lin Lan patted him, put the pottery bowl in the center of the Eight Immortals table, and looked at a few people: "Go wash your hands and eat again, if you don't wash it, you are not allowed to take it with your hands." ”

"Sister Xiaohong, the little shrimp has to be grabbed with your hands to enjoy it." As she spoke, Little Bean slid off the bench and ran towards the basin stand in the corner of the eaves.

A few children washed their hands chattering, and after a while lying on the table, they ate all the salt-and-pepper fried shrimp in the clay bowl.

Lin Jun licked his fingers: "The taste of salt and pepper is fragrant." When grandpa comes back from casting the net, my sister-in-law will fry shrimp for us to eat. ”

Lin Lan picked up the pottery bowl and glanced at him: "If you want to eat delicious, you have to study hard, otherwise you will be the commander of the sheep." ”

Lin Jun pouted and pointed at Lin Lan: "Sister-in-law, you have changed, and you have become the same as your grandparents." ”

Lin Lan nodded at him: "No matter how poor you are!" ”

Lin Jun looked at her and smiled.

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Sister-in-law Wu, Xiaolan, are you there?" ”

"In!" Lin Lan ran to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door, and saw Wan Jiao and her mother Chen Zhaodi standing at the door, "Auntie, Jiaojiao, come in." ”

Wan Jiao looked at Lin Lan embarrassedly and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I should have come to thank you yesterday, I was so tired, I fell asleep when I went home." ”
