Chapter 020: Rising Tide
Feng Chunhua just walked back and didn't give any response.
However, after arriving at the door of the house, Feng Chunhua did not go in, but ran into Hua Daling's house next door.
shouted angrily, "Hua Daling, you come out for me!" ”
Hua Daling was preparing to cook in the stove room, and when she heard Feng Chunhua's voice, she walked to the yard without hurrying, "Feng Chunhua, is this being released?" What are you yelling at? When you enter my house, don't you know how to knock on the door? ”
Feng Chunhua's eyes burned with anger, and she asked, "Did you say something to Chu Xuan, that dead girl?" You forgot what you promised me? ”
Hua Daling immediately made an oath, "Heaven and earth conscience, I can swear that I haven't told Chu Xuan your secret!" ”
These words were heard by Chu Zhi outside the door.
Chu Zhi blurted out a sentence, "Mother, what secret do you have?" ”
How did he not know?
Could it be that what Chu Xuan said is true?
Isn't his eldest brother his own eldest brother?
If so, will the eldest brother's death compensation be recovered?
Feng Chunhua looked at Chu Zhi and pointed to the location at the door, "You are guarding there, and I will go to the house with your eldest sister Hua to talk about something important." ”
Chu Zhi hurriedly promised, "I will definitely guard it!" ”
I was very curious.
When Hua Daling and Feng Chunhua entered the hall and closed the door, Chu Zhi did not stand honestly outside the courtyard gate, but quietly approached the window of the hall.
"What's going on? Looking at the way you ask about the sin, it shouldn't be your granddaughter who knows your secret, right? I didn't say her father wasn't your own son. ”
"Hua Daling, be quiet! Back then, your mother-in-law used this incident to blackmail me for twenty catties of white noodles, and now your mother-in-law is dead, as far as you know, this secret, not what you said, who can say it? ”
"Chu Xuan asked me if I knew your secret. But I told her, I don't know. Could it be that you were talking in your dreams before and Chu Xuan heard ...... you?"
"It's also possible. If she had listened to her dreams, I wouldn't admit it! Hua Daling, you have to keep your mouth tight! Otherwise, I'll ask your family for twenty catties of white noodles! ”
"Don't worry! Even if the knife is on my neck, I won't say it. ”
When Chu Zhi heard this, he hurriedly returned to the gate of the courtyard.
Wait for Feng Chunhua to come out and go home together.
There is no food at home, and you can go to the village for dinner again, but after today, for every meal you eat, you have to pay two cents in an IOU per person.
Feng Chunhua was reluctant to pay for it, and now she only had ten yuan from her brother Feng Ti.
"Xiaozhi, the two of us will go to the old mansion early tomorrow morning to block the door, I don't believe that there will be no food from Chu Xuan's hands!"
Chu Zhi couldn't help but say, "Mother, the eldest brother is not your own son, if Chu Xuan knows, not only will he not give food, but he will also recover the death compensation of the eldest brother." ”
"You bear son eavesdropping...... Feng Chunhua secretly cheered herself up and continued, "Today, Chu Xuan's dead girl is cheating on me!" Definitely! She doesn't have any proof that your eldest brother is not my own son! After a while, I will go to the village office for dinner, sleep well at night, and go to block the door tomorrow morning to ask for food! ”
At this moment, Chu Xuan had already arrived at Gao Meijuan's house.
Gao Meijuan was drying her clothes, and when she saw Chu Xuan coming in, she said gently, "I just want to go to your house after drying my clothes." When you're here, I don't have to make a trip. Feng Chunhua's mother and son can be released, which is similar to what you guessed. It was the Feng family who was looking for a relationship, and Chu Dashan took it all in, saying that he threatened Chu Zhi and Feng Chunhua to rob your house. Feng Chunhua and Chu Zhi also changed their confessions......"
Chu Xuan was not the slightest surprised, "Grandma Gao, today I found out a secret from Feng Chunhua, my father should not be her biological son." Hua Daling definitely knew about it, but she refused to say it. Can you help find out what happened to Feng Chun's peanut child back then? ”
Gao Meijuan agreed without saying a word, "My mother-in-law should know." I'm going to go to town. ”
Wang Depin's eldest brother has a regular job in the town, and his mother lives in the town with her eldest son to enjoy happiness, and rarely comes back, it is Gao Meijuan who used to visit the elderly.
Chu Xuan was grateful, "Grandma Gao is bothering you!" ”
"What's the trouble with this? I haven't seen my mother-in-law for half a month, I'm leaving, you help lock the door, Sasha will be at your house, right? She had the keys to get her back to make dinner. ”
"Okay."
After Chu Xuanmu saw Gao Meijuan ride away, he locked the courtyard door.
When I returned home, I filled Wang Shasha with a big bowl of fried herring and ten mixed noodles steamed buns before sending her out.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, the construction team called it a day.
The yard is neatly placed with a lot of red bricks, cement, etc., which have not yet been used, and now there are high courtyard walls and large iron gates, so you don't have to worry about thieves.
Seeing off the construction team, Chu Xuan and Chu Feng cleaned up the yard and reviewed the first-grade textbooks before going into the stove room to eat.
At noon, there was seaweed egg drop soup, fried herring and mixed noodles steamed buns, they hurriedly ate dinner, Chu Feng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Chu Xuan took a flashlight, picked up the sea tools, and walked towards the beach......
When I got there, the tide was receding.
There are a lot of clams on the beach, and there are very few people who pick them up.
Chu Xuan was a little puzzled, there were a lot of people who usually picked up clams, what was going on tonight?
Holding a flashlight and shining it into the distance, I realized that most of the people had gone to the reef pile.
That's where Chu Xuan has been going for the past few days, there will be a lot of people, even if there are good goods, they may not be able to grab them.
I'm going to make a stir-fried clam at noon tomorrow, and I'll pick up half a bucket first.
Half an hour later, he finally picked up half a bucket of clams, and Chu Xuan got up with his waist.
Carrying the bucket and walking forward, until I walked to the place where there was seawater, I took a flashlight to shine it, and saw a dead mackerel of about two catties, picked it up, looked at the gills, it was quite fresh, and put it into the bucket.
At this time, a transparent umbrella-like object was washed ashore, and Chu Xuan saw clearly that it was a jellyfish.
She didn't touch it, she didn't like to eat this thing, and it was very troublesome to deal with, if one was not done well, it might be poisoned.
Skirt the jellyfish and continue walking.
Two ugly and ugly fish the size of an adult's palm were found.
It's a skinned fish.
In this era, this fish is not worth much, and it costs a few cents a pound at the cheapest time.
Its nutritional value is no worse than that of other fish, and the meat is sweet and delicious. Cod liver is large and can be used to make cod liver oil.
The skin of the fish is very tough and contains a small amount of toxins, so it should be peeled and eaten.
Chu Xuan found that the two fish were still fresh and could be steamed tomorrow.
In fact, this kind of fish is delicious to make into grilled fish fillets, but there are only two of them, which is not worth grilling.
After searching for another half an hour, I didn't find anything good, and the tide was about to rise, so I was ready to leave.
Suddenly, I saw a sea bass with a length of more than 40 centimeters on the sea, which had to weigh about 20 catties.
Five yuan per catty, catching this fish can be sold for about thirty yuan.
Chu Xuan's heart moved.
He put down the bucket and took the hand-copied net and went over to catch the fish, which had just reached his calves.
Compared to this fish, the hand-copied net in Chu Xuan's hand is a bit small.
The first time I went to fish, I didn't get it.
When you see its figure clearly, you can strike again and let it escape.
The tide had already begun to rise, and the sea water was not up to Chu Xuan's knees.
It's a shame to just give up.
The higher the tide, the happier the fish swam.
