Soft and cute Zaizai wins in the era article

Chapter 80: What’s the difference between him and the skinny boy in the village?
Some people brought fishing nets, and others brought many wooden barrels and basins.

Manni also saw that there was a nickname to be used next to it.

At this time, some women who did not know how to swim put their children in buckets and weighed them with a large scale.

Manni was extremely surprised, especially when there was an easier way to weigh the child directly by holding a large scale hook with both hands.

"Manni, come here quickly, we'll give you a name and see if your aunt has made you lose weight in the past few days since you've been here?"

Manni blinked and didn't move her feet.

When she was at home, her mother measured her. When she was seven years old, she was about 1.2 meters tall and weighed 54 pounds. Her mother was very proud at the time and said that after a year of raising her, her height and weight were finally within the standard.

The people over there were still calling her, and someone pulled the sleeve of the woman who called her:
"Don't you know this girl is a fool?"

Despite the low voice, Manni still heard it.

"..."

How many years ago was this in the old almanac? I wonder if he is a normal child now?
"Manni, will Fourth Sister-in-law take you there?"

It was Guo Mingxiao's wife. She came from behind Manni, carrying a large wooden barrel in her hand.

Manni raised her head, smiled and called her fourth sister-in-law:
"I won't go. My aunt said it's for weighing pigs."

Wen Hehua indeed said it during the Chinese New Year, and she had also seen it. The big weighing pole was used for weighing pigs at that time.

"..."

Sister-in-law Guo was speechless for a moment. She didn't know how to explain to Manni that the pole scale was not only used for weighing pigs, but could also be used in many other situations. For example, all the fish in the weir and pond would be netted later.

Manni obviously thought about it, but she just smiled. She was not stupid. Would she go over and let those women laugh at her?
Rather than being laughed at by a group of women in the past, it would be more comfortable to play with this group of children who have no scheming intentions.

Seeing that she really had no intention of going over, Sister-in-law Guo reached out and touched her head:

"Then be careful and don't get too close to the water."

There were many adults here today, so there was no danger, and there was no need to worry about getting cold in summer, but Manni was a city kid after all, and she was also afraid of being frightened if she fell into the water.

Manni nodded and watched her walk over, then continued to look at the people in the weir pond who were already pulling fishing nets and walking towards the shore.

In fact, Manni was a little strange at this time. How could the fish start at the end of July? Because according to her limited knowledge, shouldn't it be the period before winter?

Lively time always passes very quickly, and there are many people and strength. When it gets dark, all the fish in the weir and pond are fished out.

The big fish were weighed by the village and then sent to the county town. Manni heard from her aunt that they could be exchanged for money notes, and then after the autumn harvest was over, they would be distributed to the villagers according to the work points of each family.

The remaining smaller fish were divided among each household on a per-person basis. It was also at this time that Manni realized why the weirs and ponds were emptied at the end of July.

It turns out that the flood season has entered in the south upstream, and they are downstream. The reservoir will soon release floods. Once the floods are released, the fish in the fish pond near the river in their village will not be able to survive.

Knowing the reason, Manni also understood more about the difficulties of farmers in this era. They really relied on the sky for their livelihood.

……

The flood discharge came just as it was said, and on the afternoon of the next day, her uncle followed the strong laborers in the village to check the ditch again, and the flood poured down like a giant beast.That scene made Manni, who looked at it from a distance, feel spectacular and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel palpitations.
"Will it drown someone?"

The water level in the river seemed to be rising, and the turbid water rushed over with huge waves that could break the branches on the shore, one wave after another.

"No, flood releases will be notified in advance."

Wen Hehua did not tell Manni that even if she was notified in advance, some disobedient villagers would refuse to move.

She also didn't tell Manni that during this flood discharge, they did not encounter heavy rain or heavy rain. If there was heavy rain or heavy rain, even if the villagers were notified in advance to move, they might be accidentally washed away by the flood.

Manni obviously didn't know this. After hearing Wen Hehua's words, although her heart was still beating hard, she didn't continue to ask any more questions.

After the flood was discharged, the water level had not returned to its original position before Manni left Dawan Village to go home. However, she was not affected in any way during the remaining days in Dawan Village, and she continued to play wildly with the children in the village.

Catching crabs in the small river ditch and catching loaches in the fields has become the repertoire of this group of children. Almost every two days, they will go to the small river ditch.

In the grass on the shore, wild ducks' nests also suffered damage. Every afternoon, when Manni and the two nephews of the Guo family returned to the Guo family, they would bring her day's harvest with them.

It was either a crab with its claws tied by a straw rope, a few tender loaches or eels in a small bucket, or the two or three wild duck eggs that were given to her.

Every time at this time, Wen Hehua would laugh when she looked at the dirty mud and water all over her body:
"You really should let your mother see what you look like now."

How is he different from the skinny boy in the village?
But looking at Manni's vitality, Wen Hehua also felt very proud. When Manni came here, the food would definitely not be as good as at home, but she would definitely have more fun than when she was at home.

Manni did have a good time. If she hadn't promised Wen Minghua before coming to Dawan Village that she would go back in mid-August, she would have really wanted to stay until the start of school.

As usual, it was Manni who was sent by Guo Mingfeng. When Manni returned home, she naturally brought her harvest of the past two days, more than two kilograms of eels and loaches, and a dozen wild eggs.

Wen Minghua was not surprised by the wild eggs, but seeing Manni grabbing eels and loaches from the bucket with ease and showing them off to her, she really wanted to scream.

God knows, she was so gentle and fearless, except for soft animals such as loaches and eels. She suppressed the itching in her throat,

"Man, Manni, did you catch all of these yourself?"

Oh my God, her delicate and soft little daughter has only been in the countryside for a month. How come she is not even afraid of loaches and eels?

Manni looked up and saw the timidity and disgust in Wen Minghua's eyes. She blinked:

"Should I ask my aunt to do it?"

Since her mother is afraid, Yang Manchun definitely has no hope, so why not take it to her aunt's house and let her see if it can be done.

As for throwing it away, Manike never thought about it.

This was my harvest in the past few days, so I wanted to bring it back to show Wen Minghua. Besides, she also wanted to eat stir-fried eel and loach.

When she was in Dawan Village, her aunt made it. Although she ate it, it didn't taste very good. She was still more concerned about Wen Minghua's recipe.

Who makes Wen Minghua come from the modern era of information explosion and know how to eat better?
