Chapter 9
I saw dense fish swimming around under Ah Li's feet.

Erlang Saburo was afraid of scaring the fish away, so he didn't yell.

When the two of them went up, they caught fish and scooped them into wooden barrels.

Ah Li happily "giggled" on the side.

It didn't stop until the barrel couldn't fit.

It just so happened that Yan Shi also came over with a basket full of wild vegetables.

"Well, did you catch any fish? It's time for us to go home and cook."

"Mom, come and see."

Yan Shi glanced into the barrel, startled, "I caught so many!"

"Isn't it because the little aunt was there, we didn't catch any of them with Da Zhuang over there." Erlang whispered to his mother.

"Then let's go back quickly!"

Saburo ran to say hello to Li Dazhuang and they hurried home.

While Yan Shi was cooking, Ah Li squatted beside the barrel, poked the fish inside with his hand, thinking about how to eat it.

In the past, when she ate small fish in the wishing pond, she just swallowed them directly. How should she eat the fish that is too big?
At this time, Yan Shi came over and grabbed two fish from the bucket, put them on the side of the well, slapped them with a knife twice, and they stopped moving, and then skillfully cleaned the scales and internal organs of the fish.

Ah Li was dumbfounded after watching this operation.

Then she followed behind Yan's buttocks, watching her fry the fish in lard until golden on both sides, add water, sliced ​​ginger, and salt to boil.

After a while, the thick white and fragrant fish soup came out of the pot.

It turns out that fish can still be eaten like this!

Knowing that Ah Li was greedy, Yan quickly put a bowl of fish meat and soup on the table for her in a big bowl.

"Ci Li, come and taste the fish soup made by sister-in-law."

Ah Li shook his head, "The fish soup is fragrant, I'm going to deliver food to my parents, or they'll be hungry."

"Oh, why are you so sensible, the little padded jacket is really caring, and I have a stir-fried vegetable, you can drink it first before going."

Hearing this, Ah Li took Erlang Saburo to finish the fish soup together and went to deliver food to Lin Changlu and the others.

Before reaching the place, the three children shouted at Lin Changlu and Pei Shi who were working in the field.

"Father, mother, let's eat."

"Grandma, grandma, let's eat!"

Lin Changlu and Pei looked up when they heard the voice, and the smiles on their faces increased a little.

"Slow down, don't fall."

After Mrs. Pei shouted, she turned back to Lin Errong and Lin Sanrong who were working and said, "Stop and rest quickly! Lili and the others have brought food."

Only then did the few wipe off their sweat and sat under the shade of the trees by the edge of the field.

Mrs. Pei went forward to pick up a few little guys, and don't make a fuss and throw their lunch away.

"Ah! There is still fish soup to drink today!"

Lin Errong opened a big bamboo bucket to see the joy.

Erlang told several people about the new thing about catching fish today.

"Thank you, our little carp, for allowing us to drink such a delicious fish soup."

Ah Li seemed to understand this sentence, and said with a smile: "Third brother likes it, let's catch it again."

"Okay, but you are not allowed to find out by yourself?"

Ah Li shook the two braids on his head and nodded obediently.

Lin Changlu was not good at expressing his feelings so he didn't talk much, and sat aside and looked at the smile on Ah Li's face and didn't go down.

When they are happy to eat.

A strange voice came from behind.

"Hey! Let my old lady taste what this family eats!"

An old lady in her 60s quickly ran up to them, only to see that there was only a pile of diabolo tubes left.

"You guys are eating too fast, you really don't leave any residue."

"Aunt Geng, it's good to have something to eat these days, so there's nothing left!"

Mrs. Geng is a well-known master in the village who likes to take advantage of others. She visits other people's houses and never returns home empty-handed.

And he also likes to rely on his old age to sell the old and teach others.

"Xiuzhi, let me tell you that you are really confused. You are so old that you don't know what to do. If life is not easy at home, you still pick up other people's children to raise. You are not afraid that they will go back and raise them for nothing."

Pei's expression was a little unhappy and she was about to reply, but Lin Errong said first: "Grandma Geng, I heard that an old lady lived to be one hundred and five years old last time I went to the county seat, do you want to know why?"

Mrs. Geng became interested when she heard this, and hurried over and asked, "Second boy, tell your mother-in-law why?"

"The old woman said she never cared about other people's business."

Hearing this, Mrs. Geng could still hear the meaning behind his words, and immediately turned her old face.

"Changlu! If you fail to learn, you two boys will beat around the bush and curse at others."

Lin Changlu took two puffs of dry cigarette, "Ba da ba da", "I think what the second brother said is quite reasonable, Aunt Geng, we have to work, so you can do it too!"

Mrs. Geng saw that none of their family wanted to talk to her, so she glanced at A Li with an unfriendly expression, and muttered, "Be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, sometimes you cry."

After speaking, he staggered away with his hands behind his back.

Sitting next to Mrs. Pei, Ah Li grabbed her clothes and said, "It's so scary."

"Li Li is not afraid, no one is afraid, with parents and elder brother around, no one dares to bully you."

Lin Changlu hurriedly said: "Sir, don't do it this afternoon, send Lili and the others home!"

Lin Sanrong nodded, packed up his things and went back.
Lin Sanrong didn't go to the field in the afternoon, but read books and practiced calligraphy at home. The village school is still more than a month away, and he will have to consolidate it by then.

Next year he will be able to take the children's examination and the rural examination.

The children of their poor families don’t have the saying that scholars don’t have to work, so he has always been working while studying.

When he is free, he will also teach the four brothers in his family to learn some simple characters.

Ah Li is very interested in reading and writing. Lin Sanrong reads with a book, and she sits obediently by the side and shakes her head along with her. She looks very cute.

Seeing that she likes it so much, Lin Sanrong took out his treasured copybook that was about to be rummaged through and taught her word by word.

Ah Li is also studying very seriously, and her learning progress is also fast. She can basically master it once.

Lin Sanrong squeezed her little face, "Lili, you are too smart, but unfortunately, third brother has no money to buy paper for you to practice calligraphy. When the time comes, I will copy books to make more money, and then I will buy them for you."

"Li Li makes money and buys it for third brother." Ah Li looked at him with big eyes and said very sincerely.

It didn't take long for Ah Li to nod his head while thinking about it, and his mouth was slurred.

Lin Sanrong picked her up and saw that the little guy couldn't open his eyes, so he quickly carried her to the bed and went to sleep.

She slept until it was almost dark before getting up.

Just when she woke up, Lin Darong came back with Dalang Shiro.

However, their complexions were not very good, and they didn't say much when they came back.

Pei asked curiously: "Didn't you just come back after staying for one night? Why did you come back today?"
