When I came back to my senses, Xu Yin was nowhere to be seen.
"This girl is too..."
Chen Lei and others looked at each other, really not knowing what to say.
react to:
"Ah! Has she finished plowing the ground again and called it a day?"
"It's so fast!"
"Hurry up and let's go back and dig the ground! Soon the captain will come to compare us with this girl."
"It's gone, it's gone!"
"..."
Xu Yin dropped a bunch of words and went to the river near her home.
This river is a wild river, not a village collective fish-raising river, so people often come to the river to try their luck.
She picked out some fish food and dipped it in the river, and soon bubbles appeared.
Put a fish basket with fish food down.
After a while, I caught them and looked at them: three small miscellaneous fish and a few small river shrimps.
Fish and shrimps of this size have been released before.
She sighed, threw the fish and shrimp into the bucket she brought, and took another basket.
After loading five or six baskets in a row, I finally had two plates of fish and a bowl of shrimps.
While leaving, I quietly released some fish and shrimp fry into the river.
Xu Yin did not go home, but went directly to the Xu family's old house and gave half of it to her two elders.
Mrs. Xu was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear: "How can we still catch so many fish and shrimps in the river?"
Xu Yin said in disgust: "It's too young."
“Not too small, not too small, this size is the most delicious when fried!”
Mrs. Xu grabbed some dried plum vegetables and gave them to her: "Take them back and make soup with the shrimps. They are very fresh."
Xu Yin did not refuse.
When I came out, I met Li Chunxiang, Xu Laoer's daughter-in-law.
Xu Yin called her: "Second uncle."
"Oh, did your grandma give it to you?" Li Chunxiang's eyes lit up when she saw the bucket in her hand, with fish and shrimp jumping in it.
"I didn't give it to you, it was Yin Yin who caught it. Come and give me a bowl for her grandfather and me. This child, please be filial!" When Mrs. Xu heard the noise, she came out and seemed to be showing off, but she was actually explaining.
The daughter-in-law is making a fuss.
Li Chunxiang laughed twice: "Then what's in this bucket..."
"There aren't many left. I'll feed my dad some wine." Xu Yin walked around her with a bucket.
Li Chunxiang: "..."
Damn girl who has no eyesight!
Xu Yin walked a few steps, thought of something, turned around and asked, "Second aunt, are you here to deliver food to grandma too?"
"What kind of food are you sending?" Li Chunxiang was stunned for a moment.
"Oh, I thought you came here just to give them a bowl of meat and vegetables because they didn't have any meat on the table. It turns out that's not the case!"
"..."
Of course not! Why don’t you eat meat and vegetables yourself? Who is so stupid as to give it away?
"It's rare that I catch fish so I send some to my grandma. My second wife lives next door. I guess she often delivers food to my grandma's house. She is much more filial than me."
"..."
Damn girl! You said all the nice things!
Li Chunxiang snorted secretly, pretended to be busy, and turned around to go back to her home.
Xu Yin smiled at the old lady: "Grandma, I'm leaving! You go back and fry the fish. Eat it in one meal tonight. Don't save it until tomorrow. Overnight cooking is not good for your health."
"Okay, okay, be careful on your way back." Mrs. Xu smiled with a smile on her face. This granddaughter is really getting more and more sensible!
…
Xu Laosan carried a small bench and a small aluminum pot from which he had finished drinking mung bean soup, and walked home with unsteady steps. He almost fell down from exhaustion.
"I'll tell my daughter when I get back that I have to take leave tomorrow because I'm so tired!"
"I want to have a good sleep, but I haven't slept enough in the past two days. I'm so sleepy." Chen Huilan said with a yawn.
I thought I would take a nap when I get home soon. My daughter knows how to cook anyway, so I would eat after she is full.
As for whether to go to work tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
The couple made up their mind to go away without being led by their daughter, and they would lie down on the bed when they got home.
Don't let them wash any dirty clothes, excrement buckets, or other miscellaneous items.
As soon as I walked to the door of my house, I smelled a very tempting aroma of vegetables.
Xu Laosan shrugged his nose: "It seems to be a fish!"
"Why do I still smell the smell of meat?"
"Girl!"
"Yin Yin!"
The couple scrambled and ran to the main room.
"What delicious food did you make today?"
"Are there any fish?"
Xu Yin came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of garlic-flavored mixed fish pot with a lot of ingredients, and said to the couple with a smile:
"Dad, Mom, you have worked hard! Come on, come on, wash your hands and hurry up to eat. Dad, I will pour you a glass of wine. I saw the chef of the state-owned hotel do this when I went to the match factory to get money.
I caught some small fish and shrimp today and tried to make a meal, but I haven't tasted it, so I don't know if it tastes the same."
"Let me try it." Xu Laosan couldn't wait to take a bite with his chopsticks, his eyes widened, "It's delicious! I can guarantee that it will be as good as the chefs in state-owned restaurants! Your mother and I had a meal there.
Shredded pork noodles are not as delicious as the egg noodles you make, let alone fish and shrimp."
"Dad, please eat more."
"Okay, okay." Xu Laosan washed his hands happily, sat down, took a sip of fish and a sip of wine. He was so satisfied that he completely forgot about the determination he made on the way home.
"Mom, try this."
Xu Yin used chili sauce to make stir-fried sardines. On the way back from her grandma's house, she stopped by a consignment store and bought two pieces of dried sesame. She diced them and stir-fried them with mushrooms and bamboo shoots. It was so fragrant that you could eat them in one bite.
Bowl of rice.
The aroma of meat that Chen Huilan smelled was the aroma of chili sauce and diced mushrooms.
The shiitake mushrooms are diced and stir-fried, and they do taste a bit meaty.
Later generations were vegetarians and often used mushrooms to make vegetarian meat. This is also the reason.
The couple immersed themselves in eating hard, and the fatigue of the afternoon was gone.
After eating and drinking, they seemed not as tired as they were on the way home from work. The couple wanted to go out for a walk to eat and show off.
Xu Yin said while clearing the dishes: "Father, mother, you go to bed early tonight. Tomorrow I will go to the matchbox, try to exchange a meat ticket with someone to buy some meat, and come back to stew braised pork for you to eat. You go to work early.
, by the way, ask for leave for me and the captain, don't be late. Otherwise, if the captain gets angry, he won't grant me leave in the future, then I won't be able to go to the county seat. If I can't go to the county seat, I won't be able to buy meat, buy cigarettes, or pull cloth...
"
When the couple heard that they would have braised pork tomorrow, they would also have the opportunity to smoke cigarettes and wear new clothes. Thinking of this, work seemed less tiring.
"Okay, okay, you go early and come back early tomorrow."
Compared to tomorrow's braised pork, what I eat tonight seems to be nothing to show off to others.
The couple made up their minds to eat braised pork and then go out to show off tomorrow, but not to go out tonight. As soon as the door was closed, they went to bed early. After all, they had to get up early tomorrow.
"Thinking about getting up early, I feel uncomfortable all over." Chen Huilan lay on the bed and beat her arm, "It's so sore! Everywhere is sore."
"Think about your new clothes, don't they look good again?" Xu Laosan chuckled and threw himself on his wife, "We haven't had those for a long time, otherwise today..."
"Like hell!"
…
Hearing the squeaking bed board next door, Xu Yin's head turned black: "..."
