A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Chapter 8
Bai Xia only heard a sound and left. He picked some wild vegetables in the basket and took them to dry, grabbed two handfuls and washed them clean, and killed one of the fish caught in the morning.

She is going to make wild vegetable fish soup.

Cooking fish requires thick oil and sufficient ingredients so that the fishy smell can be suppressed.

It's just that under the current conditions, a little bit of oil is searched and searched, and other seasonings are nowhere to be found.

She didn't expect this pot of fish soup to be delicious.

It can suppress the fishy smell and add a little nutrition.

"Take it, cook now"

Lin brought half a bowl of brown rice into the kitchen and put it on the stove, without carefully watching what Bai Xia was doing, she put the bowl down, took the water loader and bucket under the eaves, and left.

The crops in the field lack water, and she is the only labor force in this family, so she can only do more by herself.

Bai Xia can understand Lin's hard work.

The whole family lives on such a little food. If they don't take good care of it, everyone will starve to death.

And it is different from what is written in the novel. In the ancient countryside, no matter it is game or wild fruit, it is not easy to get. What is edible around has been figured out for a long time.

We can still find wild vegetables now because we have not yet reached the end of the mountain, and we still have some food and vegetables to eat at home. When everyone finds that the weather this year is not right, these wild vegetables will be given away in two days. Pick it up clean.

So Bai Xia has already made a plan. Next, she will pick more wild vegetables, dry them and put them away, so as not to be unable to pick them later.

Bai Xia opened the lid of the pot, took a spoonful of fish soup and tasted it, it tasted a bit fishy.

However, the smell of wild vegetables is strong, and the fishy smell is suppressed a bit, but it is not unpalatable.

The fish soup was boiled longer, and the porridge in the pot was ready.

Today's porridge is slightly thicker than the previous two days. It seems that the Lin family has indeed obtained food, but they don't know how much they have obtained, whether it is enough to last this month.

As long as she can survive this month and her golden finger comes, the days to come will not be so difficult.

She took the porridge out to dry, and then went out to ask Mrs. Lin to come back for dinner.

"Sanya, are you looking for your mother?"

"Hi third uncle, I'm going to ask my mother to have dinner"

"Then go, the weather is getting hotter and hotter these days"

Li Sansheng smiled, pointed to the weather and left.

Bai Xia glanced at his back, this is the candidate that the Li clan wanted Lin to remarry.

On weekdays, he drives the cart for the old man in the town. Now that the farming is busy, he took a few days off to go home and tend the crops. Judging by his face, he is a very kind person.

However, Mrs. Lin is still young after all. Compared with his age, it is fine to be his daughter, but marrying him as his wife is somewhat wasteful.

She didn't think much about it, as long as Mrs. Lin didn't have this idea, no one in the village could force her.

Not long after she went out, she was sweating under the sun. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it may be more than 30 degrees.

"Mom, go back to eat"

Standing on the ridge of the field, Bai Xia saw Mrs. Lin who was still carrying water from a distance, and hurriedly opened her mouth and shouted.

"understood"

Lin wiped the sweat from her brow, slowly lowered the bucket on her shoulder, and poured the water in the bucket into the paddy field one by one.

Seeing that he had been picking for a long time, there was only a thin layer of water in the field, so he couldn't help frowning tightly.

She carried the bucket home, put the bucket down, took a scoop of water and went to the yard to wash her hands. As soon as she turned around after washing, she found something moving in the bucket in the corner of the yard. Some fish swim happily in the water.

"Three ya, three ya"

"what happened?"

Bai Xia was setting chopsticks when she heard Lin calling her and ran out of the house.

"Where did you get this fish?"

Lin asked, pointing to the fish in the bucket.

"Of course it was caught in the river."

Bai Xia returned as a matter of course.

"Damn girl, who allowed you to go down the river to catch fish?"

Unexpectedly, after Lin Shi heard this, instead of feeling happy, she held the broom in her backhand and hit Bai Xia.

Who is Bai Xia?

Even if the body is a child, after all the soul is not. As early as when Mrs. Lin asked, she was on guard. Sure enough, Mrs. Lin got angry when she heard that she was caught in the river. Lin is about to hit.

"Mom, just talk when you talk, why hit me?"

"The river is so deep, you don't know how many children drowned in it, you are so courageous, you dare to fish in the river."

Lin's cheeks were flushed with anger, and she followed Bai Xia all over the yard with a broom.

Bai Xia was speechless in her heart. When Lin Shi swung the broom over again, she grabbed the broom in Lin Shi's hand and said, "Can you ask clearly before you do it?"

Bai Xia's hands are so strong that he doesn't look like a child at all.

Lin was stunned for a moment, then threw the broom, pinched his waist with both hands and said, "Okay, then tell me, who told you to go catch fish in the river?"

It was as if Bai Xia couldn't explain clearly, so he beat her up severely.

Bai Xia sighed, and had no choice but to tell about the fact that she used the bed curtain to make a fishnet, and Lin was stunned for a while, "Can the bed curtain be used as a fishnet?"

Lijia Village is not a coastal village, and has never seen the sea. The only larger water area is the small river ditch in the village, so no one here knows how to make fishing nets. They can make fish baskets made of bamboo, but they use ropes to make fishing nets. No one has the skills.

So after hearing what Bai Xia said, Mrs. Lin was amazed.

"Let's eat first, don't you still have to work after eating?"

Bai Xia didn't know how many times he sighed.

She counted on her fingers, and it was only the third day, and there was at least a month before the golden finger was opened, which was going to be tough.

"Hmph, you're instigating my old lady. Doesn't my old lady know that she wants to eat?"

Lin snorted, twisted her waist and entered the main room.

Seeing the big bowl of fish soup on the table, her eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and she couldn't wait to eat with her chopsticks after sitting down.

Perhaps it was because there was still a fish, and Lin did not blame Bai Xia for not keeping it for Li Xiuyuan. The two of you had one chopstick, and I had one chopstick, and in a few strokes, they separated the fish cleanly, and even drank the soup. clean.

If it wasn't for the fact that the fishbone would get stuck and the small thorns were not easy to chew, the two of them would have chewed all the thorns and ate them.

“Long time no eat so full”

Sitting on a chair, Mrs. Lin was in a relaxed state, and her eyes were a little dazed.

The same is true for Bai Xia, who has been full for the first time in the past three days.

Although the fish soup accounts for most of it, it is a bit nutritious anyway.

"Are you still fetching water at noon?"

Bai Xia looked at Lin Shi.

When Lin heard her words, the relaxation on her face disappeared in an instant, and she nodded solemnly, "The sun is getting bigger and bigger, if we don't carry water well, I'm afraid the crops in the field will be finished this year."

"Can't you hire someone to do it?"

Lin was silent for a moment, then rolled her eyes.

"You have a good idea. Where does our family have the money to hire people? Even if we have money, we can't hire people. Every household in these ten miles and eight villages is not busy in the fields, and the water in the fields is picked up. The day is over, everyone stays at home, who has free time to help with work"
