My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 95
"Mom, we're back."

Mother Xu ran out with Xiaobao in her arms, and asked with concern, "Have you bought the fish yet?"

"I bought it back, there is a small half car!" Yang Lina replied with a smile.

"Let me see."

Xu Dong opened the car door, and Xu Ma couldn't wait to go up and look a few times, and said with satisfaction:
"Yes, it's a wild small trash fish. I used to buy it at the market for ten yuan a pound."

"Mom, what to do with these fish?" Xu Dong asked with a headache.

More than 1000 catties of small miscellaneous fish, the largest is no more than the size of a palm, if it is handled one by one, it will probably drive people crazy.

Yang Lina suggested: "Why don't you pick out the big ones and make them into salted fish, and use the small hairy fish to feed the chickens!"

"No, it's too wasteful."

Mama Xu shook her head again and again, how could the fish that she bought back after spending nearly 500,000 be used to feed chickens? What an international joke!
"Mom, what do you want to do with it?" Yang Lina was not angry either. She bought so many fish today and was in a good mood.

Xu Ma thought about it and said:
"The big ones are made into salted fish as you said.

Don't gut it when you're young, just dry it into dried fish. Wild fish eat grass and are not dirty at all. That's what your dad and I used to eat when we were young.

Uh, finally pick some and put them in the refrigerator to freeze, the fresh taste is better, and there is no problem in eating them during the Chinese New Year. "

"Okay, just do as Mom said!" Xu Dong rushed down in front of his wife.

Yang Lina usually likes to be clean, so she may not be able to accept this kind of dried fish.

"Then hurry up. I heard from the weather forecast that there may be rain for a few days, and it will be troublesome when there is no sun." Xu Ma worried.

Xu Dong comforted: "It's okay, isn't there an oven at home, and the same is true for charcoal grilling."

"How big is the oven, how can so many fish be cooked?" Xu Ma said.

"Okay, okay, listen to your old man." Xu Dong "surrendered" immediately.

For the next dinner, there was a large plate of braised crucian carp and crispy river prawns, and the Coco sisters ate happily.

After dinner, except for Yang Lina to take care of the triplets, Xu Ma gathered everyone else and started to deal with the little trash fish.

Even the twins have to help.

"Coco, Lele, you two try to pick out all the big fish, do you know?"

"Milk, how big is a big fish?" Lele wondered. In her eyes, there was no big fish in the plastic bucket at all.

Xu Ma asked her little granddaughter to open her palm, and gestured, "As long as it's longer than your palm, it's a big fish, pick them all out and put them in the red bucket."

"I see." Lele nodded, and Coco next to him had already started to work hard.

Xu's mother, including Xu Dong and Xu's father, was in charge of killing the fish. Since the size of the fish was too small, the tools for killing the fish simply used scissors.

The first step is to simply scrape the scales a few times; the second step is to cut off the fish head; the third step is to cut the fish maw; the last step is to tear off the internal organs.

After more than an hour of continuous work, Xu Dong was so tired that his waist could not be straightened, and two large blisters appeared on his fingers.

In this way, everyone finally finished disposing of a large bucket of trash fish.

And such a barrel, at least five or six barrels, think about it, it makes the scalp numb.

"Okay, let's go here tonight, Coco, Lele, you two should go take a shower, you smell fishy." Xu Ma ordered.

"understood."

"Don't shower, wash with water in a basin." Xu Ma reminded.

It's not that the old lady is used to being stingy, but the supply of tap water has been tight recently, and there is often no water for a whole day. The water in the water tank should be used sparingly.

……

When Xu Dong lay on the bed, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

"Oh, I'm exhausted!"

Yang Lina was applying the mask, and she said distressedly: "Husband, do you want me to press it for you?"

"Okay!" Xu Dong immediately turned over and lay on the bed, pointed at the lower back with his finger and said, "Press here, you're going to die of soreness."

Yang Lina came over, pressed and asked, "Is this strength enough?"

"Work harder!"

"how about this?"

"Okay, just this strength, just right." Xu Dong kept moaning, it was really comfortable.

Pressing and pressing, Yang Lina suddenly said: "Husband, my mother wants to come to Yanjing to see us?"

"Who do you say is coming?"

Xu Dong immediately turned over, and his waist was no longer sore.

"My mother, your mother-in-law." Yang Lina repeated.

"No, anyone can come, but your mother's family can't." Xu Dong shook his head and said, this family has done a great job.

This thing sounds bloody.

Back then, when he married Yang Lina, the 300,000 gift money agreed by the mother-in-law would be given to his daughter as a dowry.

What people pictured is a decent one, and Xu Dong foolishly believed it to be true.

In the end, let alone 300,000, there was no dowry for a dime, and the young couple quarreled for half a month because of this.

Although the two finally reconciled.

But after this incident, the two sides had a complete fallout. Xu Dong didn't hate the other party for being greedy, but hated them for cheating even his own daughter.

Over the years, Yang Lina has also never returned to her parents' home again.

"My mother doesn't mean anything else, she just wants to come and see Coco, Lele, and Dabao. The children haven't seen their grandma yet?"

After all, so many years have passed, although Yang Lina is still angry, she really can't give up her heart to reject her aging mother.

"I don't agree, no more."

Xu Dong raised his voice unconsciously. His mother-in-law never came to visit his grandchildren in his previous life, and Lu Yang was obviously closer.

It really fits that sentence:
No one asks the poor in the downtown area, and the rich has distant relatives in the mountains.

"Okay, okay, it's okay if you can't, why are you talking so loudly?" Yang Lina saw that her husband was a little excited, so she had to give up persuasion temporarily.

Next, the couple had a good communication.

Xu Dong finally added: "In short, I will not let your mother and the others enter our house. Don't blame me for being ruthless. I am also for the good of our family."

"Okay, go to sleep!"

Yang Lina sighed, and at the same time put out her thoughts of letting her mother come to Yanjing. She managed to get to where she is today.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Mother Xu secretly called her son aside: "third, did you quarrel with Nana last night?"

"Nothing." Xu Dong quickly denied.

"You said no? It was so loud that your dad and I could hear it downstairs."

Xu Dong was helpless, so he had to tell what happened last night.

Xu Ma immediately exploded after hearing this: "You stinky shameless person, who dares to go to our door, who gave her face?"

Xu Dong let out a "shh" and asked his mother to keep quiet. If his wife heard it, it would only intensify the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xu's mother restrained a little: "Hey, third child, don't worry, with mother at home, I want to see if this old lady dares to enter the door."

"Mom, don't worry, Nana promised me that she wouldn't let those people come to our house without my consent."

"It's still like talk!"

In the next two days, after the diligent work of the family, more than 1000 catties of small miscellaneous fish were finally finished.

Half of it was made into salted fish, and half of it was directly dried into small dried fish. In a blink of an eye, the yard became a "fish forest".
