"That's so much, there have to be five taels."

Wu Juan weighed his weight and raised his eyebrows.

"Mother, hurry up and put it away."

Ye Xiuyan glanced at the yard next door on tiptoe, and reminded in a low voice: "Don't let grandma see it, there are many births." ”

"Hmm."

Wu Juan comprehended, grabbed the silver and turned back to the house.

"The second child's family, did Yan girl catch a fish?"

She walked on the front foot, and an old lady with a thin figure and a bit of shrewdness and calculation between her eyebrows and eyes came in, and when she saw the wooden barrel placed by the well, she couldn't help but say, picked it up and turned her head and left.

"Diligently."

The two ospreys stood on the eaves and chirped a few times in dissatisfaction.

The small fry in the barrel were their dinner, and they were snatched away by the eccentric old woman.

"Grandma."

Ye Xiuyan walked a few words and blocked the old lady: "The carp will be sent over by Xiuyan for a while, the small fry have to stay, and the two ospreys still have to be fed." ”

"How many fish can they eat?"

Mrs. Li glared at her dissatisfied.

"That's it, Grandma."

Ye Xiuyan smiled helplessly: "I'll help you carry the wooden bucket over, pour out the big fish, and then bring the small fish back." ”

"You mention it."

A bucket of fish with a lot of water is not light, an old man and a young man talking, Mrs. Li's arms are already sore, she trembled a few times, and put down the barrel angrily.

"Doubao, take care of my brother, my sister will come back in a while."

Ye Xiuyan held back a smile, lifted the wooden barrel, pushed open the fence door, and turned into the courtyard next door without walking a few steps.

*

"Wangwang."

The uncle's family raised a local dog to watch the house, and when he saw her, he barked twice excitedly, and wagked his tail to greet her.

"Go, go, go."

Mrs. Li then entered the door, impatiently blasted away the earth dog, and watched her granddaughter fish out the red-tailed carp in the barrel and put it into the big water tank.

"Grandma, are you satisfied?"

Ye Xiuyan glanced at the few small fry in the barrel and sighed faintly.

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes and her nostrils turned to the sky: "Your two ospreys are also delicate, and they won't die of hunger if they don't eat a meal." ”

"How can you catch fish without ospreys?"

Ye Xiuyan snorted back neither softly nor hard: "Dad and uncle are not at home, no one can pull the big net, so I can only rely on them." ”

"Your uncle has sent a letter, and they will be back tonight."

Mrs. Li mentioned her two sons, and her wrinkled old face showed a little smile.

"Daddy's coming back?"

Ye Xiuyan was overjoyed, and ran out of the yard quickly with the wooden barrel: "I'll go and tell my mother, and my mother will be happy to know it." ”

"This girl is in a hurry, and she doesn't look like a girl at all."

The old lady pursed her lips in disgust, and walked back to her room with small steps.

*

Wang Quan's family changed clothes in the side room and heard the noise outside clearly. When I changed my clothes, dried my hair, and walked out, my face was not very good-looking.

Ye Xiuyan brought the boiled hot ginger water from the kitchen and gave them a bowl for each person.

Mrs. Wang took the ginger water and showed pity: "Little girl, your fish have been taken away by the old lady, and none of them have been left for you, what are you eating?" ”

"I've got one left."

Ye Xiuyan smiled and pointed to the grass.

Madame Wang followed her finger and saw a red-tailed carp jumping around in the grass.

"Your grandma is too domineering."

Wang Qiaoyan also saw it, took the ginger water, and drank it in one gulp, suddenly feeling warm in her stomach, and smiled.
