CHAPTER XXIII

In the afternoon, Qin Xi went to the post office to get the money, and in order to celebrate this success, she also bought two popsicles, one for her and her brother.

The sun is scorching, not to mention how comfortable it is to eat this bite.

After two more days at home, Qin Xi was bored, her peers were either in school, or at home with her younger siblings to do housework, she had been here for several months, and she hadn't even made a friend yet, if it wasn't for her brother to accompany her, how difficult it would be every day!

Recently, Qin Xi has developed a new hobby, that is, fishing.

Yongxin County has a reservoir, not far from the county seat, four or five miles away, now her feet are not slow, it takes half an hour to walk to Yongxin Reservoir.

The site selection of the reservoir is particular, in the past, this place was a large paddy field, with more than 200 acres, but a few years ago, the government called on hundreds of people in the surrounding towns and villages, and they worked here day and night for three months, and then the reservoir was built.

Usually the reservoir is unguarded, only when the gate is opened to release water, there are people to control it, and other times, there is no one in this place.

Qin Xi and Qin Jiang went to the reservoir to fish on the first day, although they only caught two palm-sized small crucian carp, but this gave the two great confidence, they firmly believe that as long as they persevere, there will always be a time to catch big fish.

And while waiting for the fish to be hooked, they can also do their own thing, in general, fishing is just a pastime, the best can be caught, and it is nothing if you can't catch it.

The elders of the family know about their brother and sister, but since the brother and sister got together, it has become more and more difficult to manage, fortunately, the fish they catch will be taken home to eat, and it can be regarded as adding food to the family, so they don't bother to care.

In the evening, when the family was eating, there were two crucian carp the size of a palm in the large basin in the middle of the table.

No way, there are many people in the family, if the fish is meat, one person will be gone with a chopstick, the fish is nothing to eat, and the fish soup is full.

After eating, Qin He consciously cleaned up the table, and it was his turn to wash the dishes today.

At first, he was very reluctant, but now he eats and drinks at home, whether he wants to or not, but he can't help it, if he doesn't want to be hungry, then he has to be obedient.

After more than a month, he has adapted well, and now he doesn't need to be urged by others, as soon as he finishes eating, he consciously cleans up the table and goes to wash the dishes after finishing.

At the beginning, whether it was Liu Qin or Li Chunhua, they were very opposed to the men in the family washing dishes, but they couldn't stand Qin Xi's lobbying!

Besides, Qin Xi is really picky, saying that if they don't wash it, they really don't wash it, either they do it themselves, or when the family eats, they look at a pile of dirty dishes together and are silent.

It's not that they haven't tried not to give Qin Xi food, but they turned around and went to the director of the street office, saying that the family didn't give her food, which made them disgraced.

During that time, even Li Chunhua, who loved to go out the door the most, felt that she had no face to go out to face the strange eyes of others, and she didn't go out at home, let alone Liu Qin and them, it was simply a public execution, and she died directly!

If it weren't for something more exciting later, their affairs would have not passed by now!

Later, they directly took over this burden and carried it on their own, but whether it was Liu Qin or Li Chunhua, they were very strong, and they thought far more than ordinary women in this era, and they never felt inferior to the men in the family because of their gender.

So, after a long time, they quit, why should the two of them wash the dishes when the whole family eats?

With them pressuring the rest of the family to work, things have become much simpler, whether it is Qin He Qin Qing or the twins, one person has to take turns washing the dishes every day.

Adults, it's hard to work, how can you still work when you come back, so the matter of washing dishes is the six children in the family in turn, Li Chunhua has no objection to this, she has a vested interest, at most, when it is the turn of her baby granddaughter Qin to clean the dishes, she goes to help, and the grandchildren go into battle together.

As for whether they will be clumsy and break the bowls at home?

The women in the family have long made it clear that if the bowl is broken, the money to buy the bowl will be deducted directly from their various expenses, if it is really irrelevant, then all the red envelopes for the New Year will be confiscated, or they will work twice as hard at home to repay the debt owed by breaking the bowl.

After eating, Liu Qin sat on the chair and didn't say a word, it was obvious that she had something on her mind.

Her eldest brother hugged her grandson, and she, the second aunt, should say that this is the first grandson of their old Liu family, and the meaning is different.

I have to say it early and late, and if I don't go to work tomorrow and weekend, she has to go over whatever she says: "Mom, my eldest brother has hugged his grandson." ”

When Li Chunhua heard this, she suddenly chuckled in her heart: "Really? When was this? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"It was launched the night before yesterday, early in the morning, as soon as the sun came out, it was born, and it was a big fat boy of five pounds and four taels."

"This is what Da Mei, who works with me, told me, her mother-in-law's house is only a few dozen meters away from my mother's house, and she has been an old neighbor for more than ten years, and she knows what is going on with my mother's house."

Da Mei is still her playmate when she was a child!

She married very closely, her mother-in-law's family and her mother's family are separated by a street, life is better than her, I don't know how many times, both of them have jobs, not to mention, whether it is her mother-in-law's family or her mother's family, they can help their little couple, they don't know how beautiful their little life is.

Although she is two years younger than Da Mei, but when the two stand together, anyone will think that she is more than ten years older than Da Mei, and the living standards of the two are not at the same level at all.

"Oh, it's good!" only sighed with this sentence, and Li Chunhua shut up.

She was afraid that if she was not careful, she would talk too much and fall into Liu Qin's trap, and it would be bad for her to be forced to take something to show that it would not be good, after all, this kind of thing had not happened before, but fortunately she was clever and avoided it.

"I'm going to go back to my mother's house tomorrow." Speaking of this, Liu Qin paused: "Mom, how many eggs do we still have?" ”

As soon as Li Chunhua heard Liu Qin's idea of beating her eggs again, she immediately exploded: "No, I sold all the eggs at home yesterday, how can there be eggs at home." ”

I don't look at the conditions at home, I can't eat enough, and I take this and that to my parents' house every day, how can she do this.
