Chapter 92
Knowing that the big baby will look at Xiaomi, Jiang Hu still took the bamboo basket and hurried to catch up.

They are very close to the river, only a straight-line distance of two to 300 meters.

This river spreads from the rear of the village, passing through the entire Fu'an Village and flowing into the distance.

The Jiang family lives at the end of the village. The hillside behind the house is relatively flat, and it is a piece of land. At this time, most of them are planted with wheat, and some are vacant, and they are ready to plant others in the next year.

From the fields up, there are rolling mountains, and there are many other villages in the mountains.

In autumn, the villagers would go to the mountains to cut firewood, cut down the dead small trees, or some overcrowded branches.

There are also dried leaves on the ground, which are gathered together with rakes and packed home in sacks, which are specially used for fire, which is very convenient.

There are also many small beasts on the mountain, the hare and pheasant are the most common, and the wild boar is relatively rare, but there are also deer, hedgehog, a small animal similar to a goat.

But so far, Jiang Hu has only seen that he was lucky enough to catch a wild boar once, and the other prey only heard from Master Zhang.

The river divides the entire mountain range in half, and the river surface is very wide, but because of the winter, the water level has dropped so much that even the riverbed is exposed.

The eldest child took Xiaomi and took care of Erni, so she was too busy.

There are many stones on the river bed, all of which are washed by the river water, because the gaps between the stones are large, and the millet climbs directly on it.

Until the last stone was too far away, Xiaomi was hesitating, and suddenly he felt his whole body vacated, and then he was picked up.

"You run so fast, I almost can't catch up with you." It was Jiang Hu.

Xiaomi immediately smiled sweetly: "Daddy!"

"Good." Jiang Hu immediately put the millet down, and Tie Dan: "Okay, you are all here, be good, Daddy, go and put the bamboo basket."

Then he also told the big baby: "Be optimistic about Tie Dan, don't let him run around."

Xiaomi didn't have to worry about it at all. After all, it wasn't the first time he came here. Every time Xiaomi was very obedient, he sat on this big rock.

Only iron eggs, if you are not careful, you will slide down and want to run.

The big baby grabbed Tie Dan's belt directly: "Don't worry, Daddy, I'm watching."

Erni also came over at this moment, and she didn't move forward, just stood beside Xiaomi.

The stone is big, but not high. The big baby Erni is standing next to it, and Xiaomi and Tie Dan are sitting on it, so that the four sisters can all see Daddy.

The old place where Jiang Hu used to catch fish is a deep pool. When the water rises in summer, the place looks dark and scary.

Now that the water level has receded, the pool is also exposed, and the bottom of the Tan can be seen.

However, this only seems clear and bottomless, but it is still very deep and deep.

Jiang Hu took out the bamboo pot hanging from his waist, poured some insects into the bamboo basket, and then put the bamboo basket into the water with a rope.

This bamboo basket was specially improved by Jiang Hu, and an upside-down hat-like lid was added, just like a larger fish basket.

The entrance faces inward, and in the middle, it is only as big as a rice bowl. No matter whether it is a big fish or a small fish, it will not be so easy to get out when it gets in.

And if you want to take out the fish, you have to open the lid.

Of course, the fish are not so easy to enter the basket, and if there is movement on the shore, they also escape quickly.

So Jiang Hu set up the trap and pressed the rope with a big rock.

"Let's go, go home first, and come and collect it in the afternoon."

Jiang Hu picked up the iron egg and stretched out his hand to Xiaomi: "Would you like Daddy to hug?"

Xiaomi crawled to the ground and said, "Thank you, Daddy, Xiaomi will go by himself."

However, she still stretched out her hand and let her daddy pull her. If she encounters a stone that is a little further away, as long as her daddy holds her wrist and lifts it up a little, she can skip it, which is convenient.

Several people came and went, and it took less than a quarter of an hour to add up, but no one bothered the children.

When they got home, Er Niang was already packing up what Jiang Hu bought.

In addition to those pork, there are also some cheap candies, melon seeds and peanuts, etc. Tomorrow will be New Year's Eve, and in the next few days, they will not go to town.

Seeing the first and fourth children, Erniang smiled and said, "Are you back?"

"Well, I'll collect it in the afternoon. How is the cooking of the pig food? I'll go check the fire."

While talking, Jiang Hu had already put down the millet iron egg, turned around and went to the back of the house.

The big baby went into the kitchen: "Mother, are you going to cook? I'm going to set the fire."

"Let's just eat something at noon today, and eat something delicious tomorrow."

If you say you want to eat anything, you really just want to eat whatever you want.

Erniang soaked sorghum rice in the morning. The sorghum is relatively hard. Soak it an hour earlier, and it will ripen faster.

Add a handful of crushed corn to the sorghum rice, cut a sweet potato, boil a pot of sweet potato porridge, then cut a little radish and pickles, and use the oil residue to burn a pot of Chinese cabbage.

Not only at noon, but also at night, there are only millet and iron eggs. In the afternoon, one person eats one more steamed egg.

But no one dislikes it. This oil residue is already a very good dish. In the past, a family of more than a dozen people would have to eat at least two meals with such a little oil residue!
After dinner, Jiang Hu asked Erniang to take a few children to rest, while he went to the mountain to hunt hogweed.

Play a little more, it will be New Year's Eve tomorrow, and it is best not to go to the fields until a few days after the new year.

Xiaomi doesn't need adults to coax her to sleep anymore, she's very good, she sleeps in seconds when she goes to bed, only Tie Dan still needs Erniang to accompany her, patting her back and coaxing her to sleep.

After several children fell asleep, Er Niang quietly got out of bed and went to the back of the house to feed the pigs. When she first came back, she was fed with warm water, and she should be able to feed now.

A lot of dried pig grass is added to the pig food to cook together, and if you cook such a pot, you can eat it until tomorrow afternoon.

Scoop up half a bucket of pig food, the freshly cooked pig food is still hot, add a few scoops of cold water, mix it with the temperature and then pour it into the pig trough.

Even if the place is changed, it has no effect on the little pig. Originally, he was sleeping in a crowd, but when he heard the sound, he ran over and ate.

The glutinous water is heavy with oil and meat. When cooking, I deliberately add more dried pig grass and water, which is also very thin at the moment.

Next to the pot for cooking pig food, there is also a clay pot inlaid in the stove. When cooking pig food, water can be boiled by the way.

Erniang kept watching the little pig finish eating and poured another bucket of warm water before leaving with confidence.

In this cold weather, let alone a human being, even a piglet should not eat or drink cold food, otherwise it will be easy to get sick and have diarrhea.

After finishing this, Er Niang went to see the children again, and seeing that they were all sleeping well, she went into the kitchen and prepared to deal with the meat she bought.

Put aside what you will eat tomorrow, and pickle the rest with a little salt, and then put it in a cool place to keep it longer.
