Chapter 25: Fish Soup

But, since she said so, then they would listen for the time being, and there was nothing to refute.

"Okay, morning, in the future, we will let you take the silver we earn!" Sibao said generously.

He Chun'er also smiled softly, her expression full of approval.

Only Qibao blinked his eyes wide, and said in a milky voice: "Second sister, then when you keep the money, can you help me buy a meat bun to eat?" Or is it a snowflake candy to eat? ”

He Zao couldn't help laughing, in the end, he was a little kid, and what he was thinking about was eating.

She pinched his little nose: "Don't worry, no one can miss you, a little glutton!" ”

Shippo twisted his body and smiled embarrassedly.

He Laosan and Chen finally acquiesced in He Zao's custody of the silver, but Chen, in the days that followed, seemed to take care of He Zao a lot, intentionally or unintentionally, for example, when they worked for the family, they were not as eager to treat her as an animal as before, and sometimes they would say when they saw her busy: "When you are tired, you will rest, and go into the house to drink herbal tea." ”

The so-called herbal tea here is not really tea leaves, but the meaning of cold boiled water.

The habit of Wuxian Town is that boiling water is not boiling water, but tea.

If a guest comes to the door, the host will ask, "Would you like tea?" "It's really about drinking hot water.

At this time, people are poor, and the countrymen will not prepare tea at home to entertain guests, at most the good conditions will hit a bowl of egg tea for the guests to drink, the egg tea here is said in the dialect of Wuxian Town, which is our common egg water, Wuxian Town is customarily called egg tea, but there is another saying, called egg spikes.

And He Zao's attitude towards Chen's is still lukewarm, unless necessary, he will not talk to her in private at all, even if the two are alone, they are also indifferent, and their way of getting along is also a little strange, usually one commands, and the other buries his head in doing.

It was also after this dispute that the Chen family suddenly realized that this little daughter, whom she had always treated harshly, hated her in her heart!

When she was alone with He Zao, she wanted to say something to He Zao several times, but every time she opened her mouth, she closed it in vain.

The estrangement is not formed in a day and a night, and the feelings are not accumulated in a hurry, although she thinks that she still cares for this daughter in her heart, but it cannot be denied that her care for her is definitely not as deep as that for the four treasures and the seven treasures!

At noon on this day, He Laosi entered the house with two big carps in his hands, followed by Dayang, Sanbao and Wubao and a few naughty boys, they were all laughing and coaxing, and shouted before they entered the door: "Whoa, there is fish to eat at noon!" ”

He Zao they have just dug pigweed back, now they have made a clear division of labor, after going up the mountain, He Chun'er and Qibao dig pigweed, He Zao and Sibao are responsible for pinching honeysuckle, because pinching honeysuckle is a meticulous job, Qibao is too small, I am afraid that he will not do well, and He Chun'er is quick with hands and feet, is the fastest of several sisters and brothers digging grass, and she will dig grass, which can ensure that their task is completed on time, and pinching honeysuckle does not need to be so fast, because they have to find it one by one.

In order to save time, the pigweed that He Chun'er is digging now are all large patches of green rattan, and there are more yam leaves, these pigs are very fragrant, and they also save time and effort, and no one in the He family has noticed their small move.

Because they were busy pinching honeysuckle to make money, every bit of time in the mountains was precious, and they had never opened a small stove since that time.

Therefore, when they heard that there was fish to eat at noon, several people were very happy, and they hurriedly chopped the pigweed, and helped to cook on the fire, waiting for lunch.

Two fish, one on the man's table and one on the woman's table, are just right.

But obviously some people don't think so, Mrs. He looked at the two fish that had been packed up, pointed to the larger one and said to Sanbao: "Dayang, you send this to your second uncle's family, they live in the town, it is not convenient to eat anything, why is this fish sold in the town for dozens of dollars, the second child is a provincial family, and he must be reluctant!" ”

Old man He also accosted: "In the middle, just send one, drink fish soup to replenish your brain, the second child and the second treasure are both reading, so you can't lose anything!" ”

The reluctance of the big boss.

The rest of the He family was also reluctant.

Mrs. He glared: "What's the matter, aren't you happy?" It's all a bunch of greedy ghosts, can you grow an extra leg by eating more fish or eat a piece of gold, Dayang, if you want to send it, send it quickly! ”

He listened quietly on the side, and some wanted to laugh, Mrs. He's old man's scolding words were fresh and interesting.

If it wasn't her, she'd be interested in researching it.

In the end, Dayang was still unhappy and sent the fish to the second family of He Lao in the town.

Qibao drooled quietly and asked with envy: "Second sister, is it possible to eat as many delicious foods as you like when you go to the town?" ”

He Zao looked at his thin little face and lowered his voice: "That's not necessarily, the most important thing depends on who our grandma's heart is!" ”

Qibao's little face fell: "Grandma won't be facing us." ”

Although he is young, he can see some things clearly.

"What's this, there is a father, my sister and the fourth brother are spoiling you, Qibao, the second sister assures you, if there is anything delicious in our family, I guarantee that you will be the first to eat it!"

He Zao said with a look of certainty.

Qibao smiled happily: "That's not right, let's all eat together." ”

Sibao also smiled and looked at the two of them dotingly.

The countrymen are not so particular about making fish, only cut the fish head, fish tail, and the fish body together in the cauldron to cook, the soup is foamed, sprinkled with seasonings, because there are more people and less meat, so the water in the cauldron is particularly much, but the fish soup boiled out is still particularly fresh and fragrant.

A large basin was scooped with a fish head and brought to the women's table, and the rest was returned to the men's table.

It didn't matter how Mrs. He was distributed on the men's table, she only stared at a few daughters-in-law, and remained silent: "There is no meat on the fish head, one spoonful of soup per person." ”

Ma Shi looked hard at the big fish head, where he could tear out a few pieces of meat.

Mrs. He personally held the spoon, and it was really a spoonful for each person, just a little bit, just like He Xia'er, that spoonful was almost overflowing, and there was a piece of white fish, but when it came to Chen's, it was only a light half spoonful of soup.

Dayang and Sam Bao went to the man's table to eat, and the pressure at this table was reduced a lot, but there were still a few half-sized children, and a spoonful of clear soup couldn't stop their enthusiasm for eating meat at all.

Gu Dong drank his own fish soup twice, and Wubao stared at the fish soup: "Milk, I still want it." ”

Mrs. He's eyes widened: "Eat, eat, eat, you know to eat, you little greedy ghost, this fish head belongs to your sister-in-law, look how big your face is and dare to grab something to eat with your sister-in-law!" ”

Wubao is the only son of He Laosi, and he is also very favored on weekdays, so he grinned and wanted to cry when he heard the words.
