Not long after they returned home, Zhao Dehai came to Lin Lan's house carrying three turtles. He looked at them happily and said, "These ones are fat enough! I asked Xiang Hua to help me catch them."
Yang Liying went up and lifted the grass rope holding the tuan fish: "One weighs one pound."
Lin Lan smiled and said: "We are all here for dinner today. Let's have a fish feast tonight!"
Yang Liying looked at Lin Lan with a smile: "We can eat here, but we have to agree first. I will eat at your house today and eat at mine tomorrow! Remember to call Xiangyang!"
She has always wanted to treat Li Xiangyang to a meal to thank him for his help, but she has never had the right opportunity!
Lin Lan nodded: "I will tell him!"
Zhao Dehai put the grouper fish in the bucket and came out: "Liying, have you agreed? Okay, let's go home first. I heard from Xiang Hua that we will divide the fish later."
"Okay!" Yang Liying nodded, said goodbye to Lin Lan, and left with Zhao Dehai.
At a little after eleven o'clock, the loudspeaker on the tractor road rang. Liu Guozhi shouted in the loudspeaker: "Comrades, members of a small team, come to Shaiba. We have divided the fish. Members of a small team..."
"Xiaolan, it's time to share the fish!" Wu Shufen shouted to Lin Lan in the kitchen.
"Here we come!" Lin Lan came out with two buckets and said to Wu Shufen, "Mom, go and tell your uncle and I will bring it back with her."
"Okay!" Wu Shufen responded and walked out.
Lin Lan hung the bucket on the back seat of his bicycle and rode towards Shaiba. Along the way, he saw members of the commune in twos and threes, carrying buckets and walking towards Shaiba.
When we arrived at Shai Dam, we saw a lot of people and a lot of people. They gathered around the basket of fish, pointed to the biggest fish and said, "This fish is enough for seven or eight people."
Liu Jiang said proudly: "This is the biggest fish I have ever caught. For such a big fish, it is best to cook pickled fish!"
Some said: "I don't like too big ones, the flesh is very thick!"
Others said: "The big ones are rich in fat and water. Cooking pickled fish saves fuel! You are not afraid of small thorns either!"
Lin Lan looked around, but did not see Yang Liying. She saw Zhao Dehai holding a bucket and talking to the Zhao brothers standing aside.
Liu Guozhi came out with a big steelyard and called a few young men to weigh the fish in the basket one by one.
He Xianghua stood aside and counted the fish. He lifted the fish in the basket and they were still jumping around in the basket. The scale beam could not hold them down.
Accountant Jin wrote down the number of fish in each basket, calculated the total number and divided it by the total number of people in the team to calculate how many kilograms of fish each person had. He took the paper and started to write lots, dividing the fish into equal parts and drawing lots.
When the fish are divided like this, the members who get the good pile of fish are naturally ecstatic, while the members who get the relatively poor pile of fish are unhappy but have nothing to say.
He Xianghua and Liu Guozhi separated the fish according to the quantity reported in the financial accounting report, and piled them in the dam for each household.
Some of the fish piled on the ground were still struggling. With a "pop", a carp flew out of the pile and jumped far away. Liu Jiang, with his quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed it and put it back into the original pile.
Finally, the big fish was chopped into several sections and added to the pile of fish that they thought were few.
Lin Lan looked at it and thought it was fair to divide the fish like this.
After the fish were divided, Accountant Jin's lots were written, and he put the written lots in the basket: "Captain, you can catch them."
Liu Guozhi looked at the members waiting to divide the fish on the drying ground and shouted at the top of his voice: "The fish are divided by lots..."
Everyone did not rush forward, but each household sent one person to come forward to draw lots.
Lin Lan drew lots for himself and then helped the old lady draw lots. He Xianghua took her to the corresponding lot and got the fish.
Lin Lan's family had about ten kilograms of fish, and the old lady's house had five or six kilograms. They had silver carp, grass carp and carp, which were not the best, but they were still well-proportioned.
She said hello to Zhao Dehai who was waiting to share the fish, and when she pushed the cart out, she saw Xiao Kai and Xiao Douzi, tiptoeing into the drying area.
"Douzi, Xiaokai, you guys are out of school!"
The two of them approached, and Xiaodouzi glanced at the fish in the bucket: "Wow! What a big fish!"
Xiao Kai looked at Lin Lan: "Auntie, my dad is still showing off!"
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yeah! Your dad has to finish dividing the fish before going home. Your grandma is there!"
"I won't go with you. I'm going to find my grandma." Xiao Kai said and walked into the crowd.
Lin Lan asked Xiaodouzi to sit on the big bar, rode back home, put the fish at the door, and asked Xiaodouzi to go back and ask Lin Yuezhen to carry it in, put the fish into the water, and raised it. She then took the fish to the old lady's house on her bicycle.
go.
When I arrived at the old lady's house, I saw that the back door was open and Dahei was lying outside the back door. He glanced at her and lay down listlessly.
Lin Lan parked the car and called out: "Uncle, I got the fish back."
"Come in quickly!" The old lady came out from behind the stove and looked at her with a smile, "Xiang Yang and A Yong are here. Let me help A Yong and Yue Zhen match up!"
Lin Lan lifted the fish to the water tank: "Oh! I thought they would come later!"
"I just arrived, talking to Dingbang in the main room!" The old lady caught the fish into the wooden basin, "These fish are not bad!"
"Yeah!" Lin Lan scooped a few ladles of water into the bucket and cleaned the bucket.
The old lady looked at her and said with a smile: "Ayong is a good person, and Yuezhen is a good person. The two of them should have a wedding ceremony and have a baby as soon as possible."
"Yeah! My mother said so too!" Lin Lan felt that all the elderly thought this way.
The old lady smiled and whispered: "Dingbang's girlfriend is here too, please meet her."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Okay!"
The two of them went to the main room together. Lin Lan saw a female police officer with an average appearance and a bit of heroic spirit sitting next to Yang Dingbang, and felt that she should be his girlfriend.
When Yang Dingbang saw Lin Lan coming, he stood up and said to Yang Xiaoman with a smile: "Xiaoman, this is Lin Lan, who is also Xiang Yang's girlfriend."
"Hello Lin Lan!" Yang Xiaoman smiled and extended his hand to Lin Lan: "My name is Yang Xiaoman!"
"Hello, Xiaoman!" Seeing the smile in her eyes, Lin Lan fell in love with this generous girl immediately.
The old lady looked at the group of people and smiled so hard she couldn't close her mouth: "Xiaoman, sit down, you all sit down!" She liked this granddaughter-in-law. She never put on airs like city people, nor was she as delicate as city girls.
A few people sat down, Li Xiangyang looked at Lin Lan and said with a smile: "I sent the fat intestines to your house, and my aunt said you divided the fish."
Lin Lan nodded, "There are a lot of people in Shaiba. Brother-in-law He opened the back door to take care of me. He took me to get the fish first, otherwise I wouldn't have come back yet." Then he looked at Yang Dingbang and said, "Take Xiaoman with you tonight.
Come to my house for a quick dinner!”
Yang Dingbang glanced at Yang Xiaoman, smiled and nodded: "I'll definitely be there!"
The old lady thought about it and asked: "Lin Lan, Yuezhen's parents are gone. When it comes to matchmaking, should I go to your house or to Shilian?"
Lin Lan thought about Yuezhen's situation and said, "Just go to my house!"
"Okay!" The old lady said to Brother Yong again: "We will go there in the afternoon!"
Brother Yong bowed to the old lady: "Excuse me, Grandma Yang!"
The old lady waved her hands repeatedly: "No trouble, this is a good thing!"
