Chapter 5
"Fifth brother, take Da Lang and San Lang, break the ice surface with stones, and fish with long forks and nets. Be careful of the ice surface, just stand by the river." Su Dazhuang assigned tasks to Bai Zhaomei, and told the two younger ones, "Daddy Lang Sanlang, don't be naughty, I'll beat you up if you fall into the water."

Although the children in the family know how to swim, there is no need to worry even if they fall into the water, but it is enough to suffer if they fall into the water in winter.

Whether you can catch fish or not is another matter, but you must never fall into the water and have an accident.

After all, the family just had a younger sister. If something happened to the rest of the family, the villagers would not know what to do with the younger sister.

In that case, grandma and parents will not be able to spare him as the boss.

After listening to the elder brother's instructions, Bai Zhaomei said indifferently: "Elder brother, don't worry, I will watch Dalang Saburo."

Da Lang: "Father, I'm standing on the shore."

Saburo: "Uncle, I won't go to the ice surface."

Bai Dazhuang was very satisfied with the effect of his power. He pointed to the stones on the bank and began to assign tasks. Dalang Saburo was responsible for moving the stones, and Bai Zhaomei smashed the ice.After breaking open the ice, he went down to the ice to catch fish.

Soon, several big and small men of the Bai family were busily busy on the shore.

Dalang Saburo carried the stones towards the river one by one, and piled them up at the feet of Bai Zhaomei.Bai Zhaomei was so strong that she didn't like the stone that Dalang Saburo handed him, so she walked a little far away and moved a huge stone.

Bai Dazhuang gasped, the fifth brother's strength is really extraordinary, he might not even be able to move such a big stone.

"Look at me."

Standing on the shore, Bai Zhaomei lifted the huge boulder above her head and exerted all her strength. There was a muffled "bang", and a hole opened in the ice.

The water under the ice hole flows slowly, and there is no shadow of fish at all.

Bai Dazhuang felt that his busy work was as wasteful as before.

People in the village have a difficult life. They usually cannot eat meat, and when they get hungry, they will go to the river to catch a fish. Most of the fish in the river have been fished out as early as summer.

This trip is estimated to return empty-handed.

"Brother, do you see if that is a fish spitting bubbles?"

Bai Zhaomei was smashing another ice surface with a stone in her arms, when she suddenly stopped, her mouth was pointed at the ice hole, her face was full of uncertainty.

"It's a fish, it's a fish." Bai Dalang saw it clearly, and excitedly threw away Bai Dazhuang's warning that he was not allowed to go on the ice, and excitedly slid down the dry grass on the bank.

Bai Dalang stood on the ice carefully.The ice is so thick that it won't collapse.He lowered his head to the ice hole, and a big carp jumped up.

Bai Dazhuang, Bai Zhaomei and Bai Sanlang stared dumbfounded at the big carp leaping out of the water, splashing water on Bai Dalang's face like a juggler, dancing in mid-air twice and landing on the ice in front of Bai Dalang's feet straight up.

Bai Dalang was petrified on site.

Oops!

Lao Bai's family finally broke through and returned empty-handed!
Wait, are there any fish that big in this river?
Bai Dazhuang slapped the stunned Bai Zhaomei, and went down the river with a net bag, wooden bucket and fork.

The big carp lying in front of Bai Dalang's feet flapped twice. It was palm-width away from the ice hole but refused to fall in.

This fish is too easy to catch.

Bai Dazhuang stood in front of the ice hole and lowered the net bag into the water.

Suddenly his arm sank, and Bai Dazhuang's whole heart rose.

When the net bag was pulled upwards, a few white silver carp emerged from the water, their scales gleaming in the sunlight.

Bai Zhaomei's excited eyes lit up, and she ran over to pull up the net bag with her elder brother.

Da Lang was so excited that he changed his tone: "There are so many fish! They are all big fish!"

Bai Dazhuang and Bai Zhaomei dragged the fish in the net bag along the ice surface to the shore, poured them out, and Dalang followed behind and threw them into the barrel excitedly.

"Oh my god, so many fish! Fish! Fish!"

Sanlang stood in front of the ice hole, wishing he could jump up on the ice, shouting excitedly.

Bai Dazhuang thought that Sanlang was talking about the silver carps in the net pocket.

"We didn't come in vain at last. There are so many fish. We will stew fish for everyone at noon..."

"No, Dad, look, there are many big fish in the ice hole."

Before Bai Dazhuang could finish speaking, Dalang shouted along with Sanlang.

Bai Dazhuang raised his head and saw fish jumping up one after another in the ice hole.A big fat-headed fish was tightly held by Saburo in his arms.

San Lang was still a small radish head, the fish was too big, he held the fish tightly with both hands, the fish struggled in his arms, the huge fish head completely covered San Lang's face.

"I can't hold it anymore, come and help me." Sanlang was tossed and slid by the fish and sat on the ice, throwing his arms and hugging the fish tightly, and holding the fish's tail between his feet.

Bai Zhaomei threw down her net bag and ran to the ice hole screaming.

Another big fat fish jumped out of the ice hole and fell directly in front of Bai Zhaomei.

Bai Dazhuang was completely surrounded, and subconsciously ran over to pick up fish.

One, two, three...

Obviously, this river does not have such big and so many fish even in summer, but now it is winter, why are they roaring out.

A blind cat ran into a dead mouse, was it a coincidence?
"Da Lang, you go home and call your master, bring more big buckets, hurry up." Bai Dazhuang pulled the big fat fish out of San Lang's arms, and told his son.

"Don't shout, don't let the villagers know."

Other people in the village know, what if they all come to grab it?
"Okay!" Da Lang went ashore and ran home in a hurry.

As soon as Bai Muban moved his second grandson Bai Erlang, who was paralyzed on the bed in the side room, to the warm main room, he heard Da Lang shouting.

"Master, there are a lot of fish in the river..."

After listening to Bai Dalang's description with gestures and gestures, Bai Muban's face was full of disbelief.

He has lived half his life, and he has never heard of fish coming out of ice holes in winter.

However, he also knew that it was impossible for his grandson to lie to him.

So he took the big wooden barrel at home and went to the river.

As soon as Bai Muban left, Xie Chuntao brought millet porridge and lump soup from the kitchen into the main room.

"Mother, eat the pimple soup while it's hot."

As Xie Chuntao said, her eyes involuntarily looked at the sister-in-law in the middle of the bed.

What a handsome little milk doll, she has never seen such a beautiful girl doll.

Next to the girl doll was her son Erlang half lying on the pillow, and Erlang was looking at the little aunt happily.

Xie Chuntao felt sore for a while. When her second son was one and a half years old, his legs suddenly couldn't stand up. The doctor didn't see the reason, and he was lying on the bed for six years.

It was the first time she saw Erlang smiling so happily.

Xie Chuntao couldn't help but think of the words of Taoist Pojiao back then, and wondered if sister-in-law could really bring good luck to the family.She thought selfishly, it would be great if she could give Erlang some good fortune so that he could stand up.

Seeing two eggs lying in the white noodle soup and thick millet porridge, Mrs. Zhen frowned and asked, "Who borrowed these from?"

"Mother, the village head's aunt gave me the white noodles and a piece of pork, and I borrowed the millet from the grandma's house." Xie Chuntao said with a smile, concealing her thoughts.

"That's all for the village chief's family. If you have it, you can pay it back. Your grandma's family, alas, her family's life is also very difficult." Zhen sighed, and said: "Our family owes your grandma's more than favors. Don't borrow anything from now on."

Xie Chuntao nodded.

"I'll give Erlang the lump soup and eggs, and save the millet porridge for your grandma. I'm not hungry. Save the leftover rice at home, and I'll have to feed your sister in the future." Zhen asked the eldest daughter-in-law.

"Milk, give it to little aunt, I'm not hungry." Erlang looked eagerly at the pimple soup and eggs, drooling greedily, but shaking his head like a rattle.

"Good boy, your aunt is too young to eat these."

Zhen patted his grandson's head lovingly, feeling sorry for Erlang in his heart.Originally, he saved up a sum of money and planned to hire a good doctor to treat Erlang's legs, but he spent all of it.

Under Zhen's order, Xie Chuntao brought up the pimple soup and fed it to Erlang in mouthfuls.

Xie Chuntao was a little puzzled.

When her mother-in-law first came back, Xie Chuntao was so happy that she didn't look closely at her. Now that she was in the same room with her for a while, she felt that her mother-in-law was not like a confinement person.

Xie Chuntao was also a mother, so she took a peek at her mother-in-law's chest, and this glance confirmed Xie Chuntao's suspicion even more.

Xie Chuntao is not a talkative person, she respects her in-laws in everything, and she never asks about things her in-laws don't tell her.The parents-in-law said that the girl is her sister-in-law, so she will love the girl as her sister-in-law.

"Mother, Da Lang came home just now and called Dad away. Dad also left with two big wooden buckets, did he catch any fish?" Xie Chuntao chatted with Zhen Shi.

Outside, Xie Chuntao felt a little curious when she saw Dalang beaming and her father-in-law looking mysterious.

"How can it be so easy to fish in the river in winter." Zhen said with a smile.

Just now when Dalang was talking to Bai Muban at the door, she did catch a few words in her ears that many fish came up from the ice hole.But don't tell Xie Chuntao about such things that you haven't seen with your own eyes.

Can this girl doll really bring good fortune to the family?

Zhen looked down at Xiao Fuyuan, feeling a little hopeful in her heart.
