Chapter 80

It took two days for all the wine to be filtered and clarified. Later, Song Yougen went to the town to buy two tile vats that were only a little smaller than the water vat. They were cleaned and sterilized, and the clarified wine was poured into the two vats. In the middle, the lid was sealed, and it was not moved anymore. There were still a few large altars, about forty or fifty catties, and some of them were kept for drinking, and the rest would be sent to the Su family.

Su Wan knew that the Song family would not be willing to drink it, but she made up her mind that she must bring a jar back to the house, and drink a cup every day before going to bed.

She originally planned to make wine for her own use, and everything else was added value.

At the end of September, Song Ziheng Academy was on holiday again. During the autumn harvest season, he didn't ask anyone to bring a letter back. He rented an ox cart and rushed back to Songjia Village. He started early and arrived home around six o'clock. He carried his things into the house. There was no one in the yard, and when he went back to his own house, it was empty, so he simply put down his things and changed into old clothes in the house. As soon as he left the house, he saw Song Xiaomei came back with a whole body of mud, and she was still alive and kicking. When the big grass carp flicked its tail, the muddy water splashed all over her face.

Song Xiaomei took a bucket from the well and filled half a bucket of water. She put the fish in, but she was afraid that it would jump and fall into the well, so she deliberately put the bucket two meters away. When she looked up and saw her third brother, she immediately said in surprise: : "Brother, are you coming back now? How many days is the academy closed this time?"

"As usual, it's half a month. Have you started harvesting rice at home?"

"We have to wait two more days. I was digging sweet potatoes a few days ago, but I haven't dug them all back. The old uncle said that the fish in the pond must be caught. The fish seller in the town said hello and said that he would come to collect them tomorrow. I wanted as much as I wanted, so my father wanted to save trouble, so he simply dug up all the lotus root together. The person who collected our lotus root last year said that he wanted it this year, so he just sent it directly, so today he is busy in the pond. After this is done, the rice harvest begins."

Song Ziheng nodded, and asked again: "There is no one in the family, did they all go to the lotus pond?"

Knowing who Song Ziheng was asking, Song Xiaomei didn't hold back, and said directly: "No, I'm all watching the excitement. The third sister-in-law looks more excited than the third girl and the third baby. It seems that she has never seen it before. She usually mentions it." I am happy when I eat, and I can’t even call her for cooking today, she said I can handle it myself.”

Song Ziheng couldn't help smiling: "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

"But the third sister-in-law won't come to give advice, so I don't know what to do. I've been eating fish for several days, steamed braised fish with pickled vegetables, and I'm getting tired of eating..." Song Xiaomei said, her eyes suddenly lit up, "It's not as good as me Let’s make a boiled fish fillet, third brother, you haven’t tried it yet, it’s delicious, but it’s a bit spicy.”

Song Ziheng didn't think about it here, so he just smiled and said, "It's up to you, I'll go to the pond first to see what I can do to help."

"Go quickly." Song Xiaomei waved her hand, "So that the third sister-in-law can be taken aback. She doesn't know that you will be back in a few days, and she thought it would be until the end of the year."

However, Song Ziheng was full of expectations to see Su Wan, but Su Wan didn't seem very surprised. Her attention was attracted by the pond. This time, it was a large area of ​​catching fish and digging lotus roots, and directly filled half of the pond with water. The mud at the bottom of the pool was exposed, and fat fish jumped in the shallow water, splashing mud all over people's faces suddenly.

Except for Sanniu, Sanwa, and Grandma Song, everyone else in the Song family went down to catch fish and dig lotus roots. Of course, people who work all year round are fast. Buckets of fish and lotus roots are brought up one after another. The big fish that weighed a catty proudly raised it up and shouted at Su Wan: "Third Aunt, look at me!"

Then Su Wan saw the big fish's tail flicked towards Dawa's face, and her whole body gracefully fell into the pool. Dawa was thrown back two steps, and her feet stuck in the mud were not lifted in time. When he came out, he leaned back and almost fell on his back.

Everyone laughed, and Su Wan was also leaning forward and backward with laughter. Her heart was about to move. It was the first time she saw such a vivid scene. She wanted to go down and catch two fish and dig some lotus roots. very funny.

Compared with this place, those farmhouses of later generations can only be regarded as play games.As Su Wan thought about it, she also quietly despised those farmhouse owners in later generations who cheated people. If you put a few fish in a small pond and raise some lotus root, it's called an experience ecological farm?They should really be asked to come to Songjia Village to learn scriptures and see what the real ecology is.

Song Ziheng walked this way, and from a distance, he saw people standing beside the lotus pond that his family contracted with the old uncle. The villagers working around saw the excitement here, so they wanted to come over to have a look and rest. Among the crowd of black and gray old cloth clothes, Su Wan wearing a goose yellow dress stood out from the crowd, Song Ziheng saw her without any effort, like a graceful flower blooming on the top of a cliff, it was amazing, even shocking.
