But even after getting the big stove back, I no longer use the small stove to cook, I still use chopped firewood.
When the second sister and the others went to collect firewood, Fangyuan was staring at the ice hole on the shore.
"Brother, are these enough?" the second sister quickly came back with a bundle of branches and put them on the ground.
"It should be enough to wait until Third Sister and the others come back." After finishing speaking, Fangyuan started to light a fire.
I first found some hay. It’s not easy to find hay outside, but it’s very easy in the woods.
Because there is not much snow in many places in the woods, some hay is exposed.
It’s just a fire starter, it doesn’t take much, just pick up a few handfuls from Fangyuan.
Fangyuan put the hay on the ground, took out a match and lit it, and quickly put some thinner branches on it.
The fire was lit soon, not to mention, it is really warm to have a fire in this wild place.
"Little brother, look, there are fishes." Suddenly the second sister pointed to the river and said.
Fangyuan turned around and took a look, and saw that a fish actually jumped out of the hole in the ice. It jumped a few times on the ice, probably trying to jump back into the water! Unfortunately, it stopped jumping after a few times.
Needless to say, it is unable to jump and is frozen solid. Also, in this freezing and snowy weather, as long as this fish leaves the water, it will be dead immediately.
The fish is not big, only weighing a pound, and it is also a silver carp.
"Little brother..." the second sister looked at Fang Yuan and shouted, then pursed her lips.
Fangyuan still didn't know what the second sister wanted to do. She shook her head and ran down to get the silver carp.
I found a wooden stick, took out a knife from my schoolbag, peeled off the skin on the stick, and then skewered the silver carp on it.
"Bake it yourself!" Fangyuan handed the wooden stick to the second sister.
"Ah! I...I can't!"
"It's okay, just turn it over a few more times and give it to me later."
"Oh!"
At this time, the third sister and the others also came back, each holding a bundle of branches.
When I saw the second sister grilling fish, everyone’s eyes lit up.
"Boss, how many have you caught?" The little fat man put the branch on the ground and asked.
"Just one."
"Ah! Only one!" The little fat man was a little disappointed.
Fangyuan patted the little fat man on the head and said, "It's just the beginning, why are you in a hurry."
"Hey hey hey!" The little fat man rubbed his head and giggled.
"There are fish again." The little girl shouted.
Fangyuan quickly looked over and saw that it was true, and this one was quite big, weighing at least two kilograms.
"Boss, I'll go."
Before Fangyuan could make any move, the little fat man ran over first.
Now that someone has gone, Fangyuan still has some peace and quiet, how comfortable it is to warm up by the fire!
Soon the little fat man brought the fish over, handed it to Fangyuan and said, "Boss, bake this."
"This one is bigger, keep it and take it back."
"Ah!"
The reason why the little fat man was so active was because he wanted to eat grilled fish, but he didn't expect that his happiness would be in vain.
In fact, no one is hungry, including the little fat man. You have to remember that it has just been a short time since the meal.
If it were someone else who didn’t have any fat or water in their stomach, they might feel hungry just after eating. Even if they were full, who is standing here without any fat or water in their stomach?
"Oh shit! Are you hungry?"
"Uh!" The little fat man was stunned for a moment and scratched his head.
"Okay, let's put it aside for now, and then take the test again if there are smaller ones. Keep these big ones."
"Oh!"
"Brother, here you go." The second sister felt that it was almost done, so she handed it to Fangyuan.
Fangyuan took it and continued to grill it. Soon the fish smell came out, and several girls swallowed their saliva.
The same goes for the little fat man. Only Fangyuan doesn't feel anything. This may be because the fish has no temptation for him.
I don’t know if there are too few fish or something else, but after the second fish jumped up, no fish jumped up again for a long time.
At this time, Fangyuan had already grilled the fish and handed it to the second sister and the others for them to share.
Fangyuan added some more branches to the fire and said, "It seems these branches are not enough. You can pick up some after eating."
"Okay."
Time passed by, and after the second sister and the others came back with some more branches, they jumped on another one.
In fact, this is normal. It is normal to have less fish this year. Don’t forget that fresh meat will no longer be available starting from June this year.
If people want to eat some meat, they can only go to the river to catch fish. Even if they catch fish secretly, there are so many people who can't help but catch them!
So it’s normal that there are few fish in the river.
"Brother, these are only two!" After a long time, two larger ones jumped up, the second sister said.
"It's okay, there's still time." Fangyuan said.
"Okay!"
In this way, a few people waited on the shore while warming themselves by the fire. It was almost four o'clock, and they only caught nine fish in total.
Of course, this is talking about the slightly larger ones, the smaller ones were all roasted by Fangyuan.
Of course, there are only a few small ones, not even as many as the larger ones.
At this time, it was time to go back. Fangyuan divided the fish and gave two to Li Weiguo.
The little girl’s family had two, then the little fat man’s had two, and the remaining three were taken home.
Although it's not much, at least there will be fish to eat during the Chinese New Year.
Then Fangyuan drove to Li Wei's country first. Seeing Fangyuan and others coming, Li's father and mother were very enthusiastic and quickly let Fangyuan and others into the house.
"Uncle and aunt, we won't go in. It's getting late. I'm here to bring you something."
"Ah! Another gift! Didn't it just come here some time ago?" said Li's mother.
"The previous paragraph is about the previous paragraph, and the present is about the present."
After finishing speaking, Fangyuan got out of the car, opened the back, and took out a cloth bag from the car. There was also a large oil paper bag with a piece of pork inside.
There are almost ten kilograms of pork, which is enough for Li Weiguo to celebrate the New Year. Now that Li Weiguo is not at home, Fangyuan must take good care of his family.
Fangyuan handed the oil paper bag to Li Ma's hand, and then took out another bag.
This bag contains peanuts and melon seeds, two kilograms each. This thing is hard to handle. Even for citizens, each person only has two kilograms.
"Fang Yuan, this...this..."
"Uncle and aunt, just keep it! Oh, by the way, there are two more fish here." Fangyuan quickly took down the fish.
"Fang Yuan, thank you."
"Uncle, please be polite. Okay, it's getting late. We have to go back, otherwise it will get dark soon."
"Okay! Drive slower on the road."
"Got it."
Fangyuan did not return the same way, but walked eastward. He wanted to deliver two fish to the little girl's house.
The little girl's family doesn't need to say goodbye now, because Fangyuan has already done so before, and they only need to send these two fish over.
Ten minutes later, the jeep arrived at the little girl’s house. Before Fangyuan could get off the car, the little girl had already got off first.
"Bah bang bang!" The little girl shouted while banging on the door: "Mom, open the door quickly."
The little girl hasn’t come back for almost a week. To say she misses home would be a lie.
Soon the door opened, and it was Aunt Qin who opened the door.
Aunt Qin ignored the little girl, looked at Fangyuan and said, "Fangyuan, Shuli, Shuqi, why are you here?"
"Auntie, we will bring you two fish." The second sister said while holding the two fish.
"Ah! Shuli, you can take this fish home and eat it. This girl is staying at your house for food and accommodation, and she even asked your family to send things over. This..."
"Auntie, we have some at home, just keep it!" After the second sister said that, she handed the fish to Aunt Qin.
"Mom, this fish was just caught by Brother Fangyuan. Brother Fangyuan said there should be more than enough every year." The little girl raised her head and looked at her mother and said.
"You kid." Aunt Qin rubbed the little girl's head and said.
"Aunt Qin, it's getting late, let's go back first."
"Okay, then I won't keep you."
"Yeah!" Fang Yuan nodded.
At this time, Aunt Qin knelt down and looked at the little girl and said, "Are you going or not? I don't think I'm going to go! The Chinese New Year will be here soon."
Hearing what her mother said, the little girl was very confused. Although her family's life was much better now, and she almost had meat every meal, it was still a million miles away from her brother Fangyuan's home!
The little girl looked back at Fangyuan and said, "Brother Fangyuan, can I stay at home for one night? I'll go there tomorrow morning."
"Okay! This is your home, you can live in it if you want." Fang Yuan said, tugging on the little girl's head.
"Well! Then I'll stay for one night, just one night, and I'll go back tomorrow."
"Uh!" Hearing what the little girl said, Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, wondering if the girl was telling the wrong thing.
This is her home. Even if she says she wants to go back, it should be here. Why does going to his house mean she is going back?
But Fangyuan didn't say anything, but said: "Yeah!"
"Aunt Qin, let's go back then." Fangyuan said to Aunt Qin again.
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Fangyuan and the others got in the car. It was not far from the family home. Fangyuan and the others arrived quickly.
When he was about to back up the car into the alley, Fangyuan stopped the car and said to the little fat man: "Send the fish home."
"Boss, I'll get it when I go back at night!"
Hearing what the little fat man said, Fangyuan turned around and knocked him on the head and said, "It's not like I'm sending you back so I won't let you come."
This kid is really, really greedy.
"That's right, Fatty, you take the fish home and then come back. Auntie can clean up the fish just in time. By the time you go back, it will be too late and there will be no way to clean it up. You can't put it until tomorrow!"
"Okay! I'll deliver."
"Hurry up."
The little fat man reluctantly got out of the car and ran home with two fish in hand. Fangyuan shook his head and started to reverse the car.
Fangyuan and the others came back late. When they came back, the eldest sister had already got off work and was helping her mother cook in the kitchen.
"Where did you guys go to play?" the eldest sister came out of the kitchen and asked.
"Sister, we went to catch fish, look." The third sister raised the three fish and said.
"Hey! Where are Wen Li and Fatty?" The eldest sister glanced at the fish in Third Sister's hand and soon discovered that the little girl and Fatty were not there.
"Wen Li goes home to stay one night and will come over tomorrow. The little fat man has gone home to deliver fish and will come over in a while." The second sister said.
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket, thank you! Thank you!
