Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over

Chapter 26 Catching fish and catching snakes

He hurriedly asked: "Uncle Han, if I want to buy shells, can I go to the Dan people on the river?"

Yang Han shook his head, "We are here in Weijiang. To buy shells, you have to go to the provincial capital or Huai'an County. Shells are only found near the sea there. What are you doing buying them?"

More than 80% of the villagers in Rongshu Village didn't know what a shell was, and he only found out about it by chance.

Yang Datou said with a guilty conscience: "My mother-in-law wants it. She said that my grandfather is a Dan people, so you can buy the shells from my grandfather."

"Your mother-in-law's family is a villager?" This surprised Yang Han. "No wonder I haven't seen your mother-in-law go to the ground."

Yang Datou looked puzzled.

Yang Han explained: "The Dan people only know how to fish but not farm, and they are used to living on the water and cannot bear the hardship of going to the fields. No wonder your mother-in-law has been refusing to do farm work. It seems that everyone has misunderstood her."

If Jiang Ning were here, she would definitely thank Yang Han for making excuses for her.

Yang Datou liked this explanation, regardless of whether it was true or not, he smiled brightly.

Yang Han then said: "Let's do this! Later I will go to the river to help you inquire. There are some Dan people who live in no fixed places and are floating around on the river. There may be those things."

Yang Datou was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

After the two landed, Yang Han saw Yang Xiaohua sitting obediently in the circle and playing with the ants on the ground. He picked her up and the three of them hurried home before it got dark.

When he passed by the door of Yang Han's house, he called out to Yang Datou.

Yang Datou thought Yang Han was going to explain things, but unexpectedly, he stuffed a bag of things into him and insisted that he take it back.

Yang Datou couldn't refuse, so he went back and opened it, only to find that it was half rabbit meat inside.

He looked at Jiang Ning in embarrassment, "Mom, Uncle Yang Han is too generous. How can I repay this favor?"

When he asks someone for advice, they still give him meat. What kind of thing is this?
  Liu Ye said: "Auntie, do you want to give it back?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "I already gave it to you, so it would be outrageous to send it back. What's going on with Yang Han's family?"

Yang Datou hurriedly replied: "I heard that Uncle Han served in the military when he was a teenager and came back to get married in his twenties. I have met his mother-in-law. She is a very gentle and kind person. Unfortunately, when Xiaohua was three years old, Because of the difficult childbirth, one corpse and two lives were lost. After that, Uncle Han never married again and raised Xiao Hua alone."

Jiang Ning fell into deep thought and asked after a while: "Isn't there a woman in their family?"

Yang Datou shook his head, "Uncle Yang Han's father and mother have passed away a long time ago, otherwise he would not have been allowed to wait until he was in his twenties to start a family. Now there are only two of them in the family."

Jiang Ning immediately asked Liu Ye, "If I make another undergarment for Xiao Hua, will it be enough?"

"Maybe it's not big enough." Willow Ye wanted to say yes, but unfortunately she only had such a small amount of material and was already very nervous to make clothes for their family.

Jiang Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's make a dress for Xiao Hua first. Later, I'll find a salesman and buy a few feet of material. You can do whatever you want, no need to save."

Liu Ye nodded repeatedly, already thinking about how to cut it to save the most material.

Yang Datou said: "Mom, Uncle Han took me into Qingfeng Mountain today. There are more pumpkin seeds in the mountain. They grow everywhere like crazy. There is the smell of pumpkin seeds everywhere. Should we go directly into the mountain?" Pick?"

"Is it safe?" Jiang Ning frowned. She didn't want her children to take risks.

Yang Datou nodded repeatedly, "We won't go far, so we'll just pick it on the mountain road where Uncle Yang Han often walks. The harvest of that piece weighs several hundred kilograms at least."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning couldn't sit still and patted his thigh, "Let's go! We'll go tomorrow!" Finally, Yang Datou talked about the shell again.

Everything was as expected by Jiang Ning. She just sighed and said: "It's okay. It's best if you don't have it. It's not bad if you don't have it."

You can’t just stop building a house just because you can’t get lime.

The next day before dawn, the whole family, including the youngest Yang Xiaoya, went out. Under the leadership of Yang Datou, they entered Qingfeng Mountain. When they saw the rotten melon seeds scattered on the ground, several children squatted down and tried to pull them away. .

Jiang Ning took a long bamboo pole and stirred in the grass to make sure there were no snakes before he dared to go inside.

Yang Datou picked up a sack without hesitation. Seeing that it was almost dawn, he hurriedly said: "I'm going to the river to see the harvest. You guys should work here first. If you encounter danger, just shout so that Uncle Han can hear you."

Jiang Ning stood up and said, "I'll go with you."

Yang Datou hesitated for a while and then agreed. With Yang Erdan and Liu Ye watching over here, there shouldn't be any trouble.

The mother and son went down the mountain col. Jiang Ning couldn't walk when he saw the things in the stream. He thought about fishing when he had some free time. There were also snails in the water, which looked delicious. No matter stir-fried or put in Stewed in chicken soup, it’s absolutely delicious!
  I can't think about it anymore, my mouth is almost watering if I think about it any more.

Jiang Ning forced himself to divert his attention and looked up at the big trees around him. His eyes lit up in vain, "Let's come over and take a look next time it rains. There must be a lot of mushrooms here!"

While talking, the two of them arrived at the river.

Jiang Ning helped Yang Datou put the bamboo raft into the water. While Yang Datou was not yet proficient in punting, she could already control the bamboo raft to move forward.

Yang Datou once again discovered Jiang Ning's power and praised him without hesitation.

When he arrived at the place where the first fish basket was placed, Yang Datou was actually nervous.

Jiang Ning helped him hold up the fish basket. Hearing the movement inside, the corners of his mouth immediately raised, "The goods are in stock! Go ahead and wait a while to see the fish on the shore."

After the mother and son got the four fish baskets ashore, Jiang Ning couldn't wait to open the last fish basket. She stretched her head and took a look, which almost frightened her so much that she even threw the fish basket away, "Snake!"

Yang Datou was startled, then took a closer look and swallowed hard, "It's really a snake!"

In addition to the two snakes, there were also two palm-sized fish and a few shrimps, but unfortunately neither of them dared to take them out.

The contents of the second fish basket were more normal, about five or six fish, the largest weighing more than half a catty. The two of them finally had some smiles.

In the third fish basket, there was a large snail, a small turtle, and a carp weighing about one pound, which jumped the most.

In the last fish basket, three crucian carp weighing about half a catty were harvested.

Overall, it was a great harvest, except for those two snakes.

The mother and son looked at each other, not knowing what to do with the first fish basket.

Yang Datou wanted to be released, but Jiang Ning refused to agree. What if he crawled out and bit them!
  At this moment, Yang Han came over.

Yang Datou seemed to have seen a savior, "Uncle Han, Uncle Han, there is a snake!"

I thought Yang Han would feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, but he unexpectedly stepped forward to check it out in surprise, "It's really a snake! Boy! I really do have it for you! How about selling this snake to me?"

Yang Datou: "?"
