Chapter 55: Catching a Fish
Xiang Xiong has been pestle Qi Fu since he was a child, and was reprimanded by Qi Fu, and at this time he stood aside obediently with his shoulders shrunk like a child.
"Dad, it's rare for Xiangzi to come back once, don't talk about him, he doesn't want to worry about the family."
Qi Fu glared at his youngest son Qi Wei, pointed at Xiang Xiong and said angrily: "I have been a stubborn donkey since I was a child, and the children are still the same when they are so old, so don't say anything if you are afraid of worrying?" Yes! I've asked, your leg is paralyzed, it must have cost a lot of money at that time, and the family has some savings for so many years, although it can't cure your leg, it's better than borrowing money from outsiders. ”
Qi Fu roared in one breath and sat on the kang panting.
Xiang Wan glanced at the silent Xiang Xiong, and walked to Qi Fu in a few steps to give him a good breath: "Grandpa Qi, it's all my dad's fault, how can he not tell the family, but you are angry, you can't be angry and your body is broken, fortunately, it's all over, we found an old Chinese medicine doctor with excellent medical skills in Beishi, but it's amazing, my dad has been going to him for treatment for a year, and the leg will get better soon." ”
"Really?"
Xiang Wan nodded vigorously: "Really, Dad has to go to get needles every five days, and he usually drinks Chinese medicine, and his body is better than before." ”
The stone in Qi Fu's heart fell at this time, and he pulled Xiang Wan to sit next to him, and glared at Xiang Xiong again.
Qi Donghe walked up to Xiang Xiong, hammered his shoulder with a fist, and said with a smile on his face: "This is good news, you don't know, in the morning, when Dad got the news, he was not in the mood to go to the field to see the crops, and he had been sitting there smoking, you, you can't do this in the future, you have to tell your family something." ”
Xiang Xiong assured again and again: "Yes, yes, I will tell my family anything in the future, promise not to hide it, uncle, you forgive me, I have been lying in the hospital at that time, I didn't have a chance to tell my family, Xiaoguan has been taking care of me during that time, and when I think about how to make money, I forgot about it, I was wrong." ”
Later, Xiang Xiong and the others told in detail what happened after the car accident last year, and after speaking, everyone in the house fell silent.
After a while, Qi Fucai sighed, looking at Xiang Wan's eyes lovingly and distressed: "Good boy, you are good, but you are suffering, take care of your father at such a young age." ”
Xiang Wan shook his head: "He is my father, everything I should do, as long as he is good." ”
Xiang Xiong's lips moved, but he didn't speak.
Qi Fu glanced at Xiang Xiong, who was standing at the door, and was angry: "What are you doing standing, you don't get tired when you stand." ”
Xiang Xiong hurriedly sat down.
After that, Qi Fu didn't teach Xiang Xiong a lesson, and pulled Xiang Wan to ask, mostly a matter of learning.
Qi Donghe also pulled Xiang Xiong to the side and whispered to the side, and the hall was happy for a while.
Lu Ying boiled a pot of boiling water and brought it in, poured water into everyone's teacups, and then said, "It's time to eat in a while, you guys go and wash your hands." ”
All should be well.
At noon, Lu Ying cooked a large plate of potato pork ribs, fried back to the pot of meat and steamed sausages, and finally made a pot of cabbage and tofu soup.
Rural people are simple and practical, each family has a large population, and the meals they cook are full of a large pot.
During this period, everyone kept giving Xiang Guan vegetables, a bowl of rice was full of meat, Xiang Guan kept eating and never less, and finally handed a look of help to Xiang Xiong, who was drinking beside him.
"Haha, auntie, my daughter doesn't like to eat meat, she likes to eat vegetables, I'll help her eat some, don't say that my aunt's craftsmanship is still so good, the meat made in the pot is really fragrant, just this dish, I can eat three bowls of rice."
Lu Ying smiled at Xiang Xiong's words, and smiled and gave him a lot of back pot meat: "If you like to eat it, then you can eat more, just eat it at home these days, and don't start the fire in the old house." ”
"What do you know, it's rare for Xiang Zi to live at home, he is usually not popular, he still has to open the fire, go to the obscurity," Qi Fu looked at Xiang Xiong after saying and continued: "Take some oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and vegetables from home in a while, you rarely come back, you have to fire at home to add popularity." ”
Xiang Xiong responded again and again.
After lunch, a few people sat in the hall and talked again, and at noon several big men drank too much and talked a little.
Xiang Guan sat quietly beside Xiang Xiong, and suddenly noticed that there were two children who were about the same age as himself poking their brains at the door, and Xiang Wan pulled the corner of Xiang Xiong's clothes: "Dad, who is that?" ”
All eyes of the people looked at the door.
Lu Ying smiled and said: "That's Ren Qiang, the youngest son of the Ren family, and Hu Cuicui, the youngest daughter of the Hu family, I guess I heard that you came back and came to see it." ”
After speaking, Lu Ying beckoned to the two at the door.
The two children walked into the hall to say hello to a few people, and then pinched the hem of their clothes and did not speak, looking at Xiang Wan from time to time.
Xiang Xiong suddenly realized, and spoke to the two with a smile: "You are here to play with my daughter?" ”
Hu Cuicui looked at Xiang Xiong cautiously and didn't speak, but Ren Qiang on the side grinned and nodded: "My mother said that there was a beautiful girl in the village, let me come to play with her." ”
Hearing this, the adults in the hall burst into laughter.
Xiang Xiong looked at his daughter and asked, "Do you want to hang out with them?" ”
Xiang Wan glanced at the two of them, nodded with a smile, got up and walked to the two: "You are Ren Qiang and Hu Cuicui, I am Xiang Guan, you can call me Xiaoguan, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Xiaoguan, your name is so nice, I'm Ren Qiang."
"I ..... I'm Hu Cuicui, too... Glad to meet you, too. ”
After that, the three of them walked out of the village chief's house under the loving eyes of the adults in the hall.
Ren Qiang stopped at the door, looked at Xiang Wan and said with some embarrassment: "What do you want to play?" We can go to the river to catch fish in a while, and then go to the mountains to grill fish and eat them, would you like to join us? ”
Xiang Wan smiled and nodded: "I'm okay, I haven't had a picnic with my friends since I was a child." ”
"That's great, let's go to the river first to see if they have caught any fish, Cuicui and I have brought a lot of spices from home, Xiaoguan, let me tell you, the fish we grilled is delicious, you can eat more in a while."
Xiang Wan nodded his head.
Hu Cuicui didn't speak the whole time, her personality was a little shy, and she pursed her lips and smiled lightly after hearing Xiang Wan's promise.
The two took Xiang Wan to the river in the village, stood on the ridge and pointed to the two boys catching fish below and said: "Xiaoguan, that's Jiao Ziyuan and Quan Tianxiang, they are all good at playing with me, they are very good at catching fish, and they can catch several fish at a time." ”
Xiang Wan nodded and looked at the two boys in the river.
The three of them waited on the field for about an hour, and the two of them walked back with bags.
Ren Qiang hurriedly greeted the two and asked loudly, "How is it?" Did you catch it? ”
Quan Tianxiang waved his hand and said loudly: "I must have caught it, I was lucky today, I caught seven or eight, and each one weighed a pound." ”
