"Giggles, Dad, it's so pretty." Feng Xia looked down at the different kind of "brooch", and her smiling eyes were almost gone.

Xu Fugui touched her head, put down the hoe, and took a sip of tea.

"Jiazhen, rest, it's enough to eat for two days." Looking at Jiazhen, there was a large bundle of pig fern grass at her feet, and she was still squatting on the ground, wielding a sickle, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.

Hearing this, Jiazhen turned her head to look at her results, revealing a heartfelt smile.

As the sun waned, a large cloud of fire filled the western sky, as if the sky had been set on fire.

Xu Fugui sat on the ridge and quietly watched the sunset, not alarmed.

"What's there to see, go back, it'll be dark for a while." Jiazhen took Feng Xia's hand and walked over.

Xu Fugui reached out and buttoned the mud off her trouser leg, "Don't you think it's beautiful when the sun goes down?" ”

Jiazhen raised her head and squinted at the sunset, and then lowered her head again, "It's not that I haven't seen it before, it's rare." ”

Xu Fugui got up and easily carried the basket full of pig fern grass, "I'm happy in my heart, everything looks good." ”

Jiazhen sneered, "I'm happy after a day's work, I think you're poor and happy." ”

"I'm really poor and happy, I'm poor, with you with me, I can't get any amount of money."

"Don't be poor, the father of the two babies is still so flowery, is it heavy?"

"It's not heavy, your man has a lot of strength, Fengxia, you slow down, wait for us, don't fall into the field."

Jiazhen looked at Fugui's figure carefully protecting Feng Xia, and suddenly said, "Fugui, it's good that you lost your family property." ”

"Huh?"

Jiazhen said: "When I used to have money, my heart was always up and down, and there was no one to settle down, and every time it was dark, I sat at the door, waiting for you to come back." ”

"Wait, wait, wait until there is no sound in the village, you still haven't come back, for fear that something will happen to you outside, and I want to go to the county seat to find you, but it's dark outside, and I don't dare."

"It's better now, although we are poor, but our hearts are steady, we are not afraid of poverty, as long as we work hard, we will never die of hunger."

"Dad is right, the Xu family used to raise a chicken, the chicken grew up and became a goose, the goose grew up and became a sheep, and the sheep grew up and became a cow, and then there was a family business of the Xu family."

"We have sheep now, and the days will definitely get better and better in the future."

Xu Fugui looked at Jiazhen with a smile on the corner of his mouth and nodded, "It will get better and better in the future." ”

The golden light of the setting sun fell, pulling out a few long figures on the ground, and a few dog barks sounded in the village from time to time, as if urging people to hurry home.

When passing by Wang Xi's house, Wang Xi said hello and asked, "Fugui, do you want crucian carp, I just fished it out of the pond." ”

Xu Fugui's heart moved, and he nodded, "Yes, what do you want?" ”

Wang Xi casually scooped it up from the stoneware water tank and handed it to him, "It's not worth anything, I'll give it to you." ”

Fish are very common in their area, and many people have ponds in their homes, as well as fish in rivers and lakes.

However, most people are reluctant to eat fish because it consumes too many seasonings and consumes a lot of oil.

Carrying the crucian carp home, Xu Fugui said: "Stew a crucian carp soup and give you supplemental milk." ”

Jiazhen patted him on the shoulder, "I don't need to make up milk, my milk is good, and I can keep the fat that can feed Youqing." ”

When I got home, as soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Xu's father standing outside the chicken pen with a cane, counting the chickens and ducks inside.

"Jiazhen, are you tired, you said you, what are you doing in the field with Fugui, suffer this crime." Mother Xu, who was wearing an apron, walked out.

Jiazhen shook her head gently, "Mother, I'm not tired, I haven't done any work." ”

Xu Fugui put down the basket, pointed to the full pig fern and said, "This is all cut by the family." ”

Getting up and washing his hands, rinsing the mud off his feet, changing into cloth shoes, and finding an apron, he began to prepare for the evening's meal.

Mother Xu had already steamed the white rice in the pot, cut half a piece of bacon, and cleaned it.

Xu Fugui picked up the kitchen knife, cut the bacon in two, put it in the iron pot, and Jiazhen sat in front of the stove to light the fire for him.

Then he put the crucian carp in the wooden basin and struck the back of the knife hard at the fish's head, and the crucian carp immediately stopped struggling.

Xu Fugui first buckled the gills of the fish, and then scraped the scales with the back of the knife.

Simply wash it with water, break it along the middle of the fish maw, throw away all the internal organs, leaving only the fish bubbles, and then rinse the blood with clean water.

Cut the crucian carp into small pieces, put them in a bacon pot with vermicelli.

As the hot water boiled, the broth gradually turned white, exuding a stream of bacon aroma, and the greedy Fengxia always wanted him to pick it up to see what was in the pot.

Covering the wooden pot lid, Xu Fugui went to prepare the seasoning, and after preparing the seasoning, the vermicelli and fish were almost cooked.

Use two large ceramic bowls to pack the vermicelli and place the two pieces of bacon separately on a cutting board.

Grab a kitchen knife and cut the cooked bacon into small pieces and serve them separately in a bowl.

"Let's eat."

Xu Fugui shouted and brought the bacon to the table, Changgen had already put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Xu's father sat slowly on the main seat with a cane.

Jiazhen took Fengxia over and put it next to Fugui, then took out the loose wine, and took four wine glasses by the way.

"Jiazhen, what are you?" Xu Fugui glanced at the loose wine.

"Where can you eat meat without drinking?"

Father Xu smiled and said, "Okay, then drink a little, you can't drink too much." ”

One person poured half a glass of wine, first took a sip, then picked up a piece of bacon and put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and after tasting the meat, his appetite couldn't help but be great.

Take a bite of hot rice, suck a bite of vermicelli, and the fatigue of the day will melt away.

"Dad, bacon is really delicious." Feng Xia held the bacon as big as her little hand and squinted her eyes and said.

Xu Fugui helped her roll up her sleeves, "In the future, my father will cook it for you to eat, come and eat fish, and in the future, like your mother, you will grow tall." ”

He picked a piece of fish meat without fish bones and put it in Feng Xia's bowl.

"Fugui, I didn't expect you to have this skill, I remember that you have never touched the stove before." Xu Mu said with a smile.

Xu Fugui still has the same rhetoric, "I see what others have done, just draw a scoop according to the gourd." ”

After eating, it was already dark, but not completely dark.

Father Xu leaned on crutches, burped loudly, and wiped the oil stains on his lips, "I'll go to the entrance of the village." ”

The old man is still so stubborn, he wrestled last time and put on crutches, but he still has to go to the dung tank at the entrance of the village to squat in the pit.

Xu Fugui had to follow, but Xu's father glanced at him and didn't speak.

"Dad, wait for me, I'm going too." Feng Xia finished eating the remaining rice in the bowl in three or two, her little face bulged, she climbed down from the chair with difficulty, and chased after her with two little short legs......
