reborn at sixty

Chapter 17 18. Smart
When I got up early in the morning, I made the porridge for two people first, and then fed the chicken at home, mainly because there was no food.Fortunately, the old man picked a lot of grass seeds from the mountains in autumn, so that the bran distributed by the team can be used to deal with it, but the weather has turned cold, and the chickens at home are not willing to lay eggs.

"Cuckoo..." The few chickens that were released saw that there was food in the trough, and swarmed forward to grab the food.Seeing that the hen was pushed aside by the rooster, she had to beat it with a small stick and shouted, "Don't snatch it, there is something to eat, a dead rooster, it eats so much without laying eggs..."

After washing his face, the old man came out and poured water. Hearing what she said, he said with a smile, "Girl, let them eat it. Anyway, we will kill it during the Chinese New Year. It is useless to keep the rooster. We will eat its meat during the Chinese New Year... "
She has no objection to eating meat, but seeing that there are really few chickens at home. "Grandpa, why don't we ask Aunt Feng to help us hold some little pussies in the new year, so that we can sell more eggs.

By the way, you went to the team today and brought the eggs over by the way, and it's the end of the month, so it's time for our team to send things to the purchasing station. "

Liang Shouwang patted himself on the forehead, "Why did I forget about this, I'll be there in a while, girl, go and pack the eggs, if you go late, I'm afraid they'll start off."

Shui Lian asked the old man to drink the porridge first, and she took out all the few eggs left at home.After dinner, I went to the river to wash the clothes that the two of them changed last night, and took a look at how the fish in the river were made.

Not to mention, as soon as she finished washing her clothes, Hongmei and Minghao came over here. "Hey, brother, isn't that Shui Lian? I said why can't I find her? I'm feeling overwhelmed, Shui Lian..." The brothers and sisters of the Wang family rushed over, and she waved at them excitedly. "Why are you guys here?" Ming Hao smiled and said, "We enjoyed eating fish yesterday, let's see if we can get it again today." Shui Lian was also puzzled, "Where did you get the fish yesterday, I see It's been a long time and I haven't found any ice holes, except for the ones on the shore that were dug open for washing clothes..."

Before Minghao could speak, Mingcheng, the youngest son of the Wang family, said anxiously, "I know where it is, Sister Shuilian, I'll take you there..."

For the younger brother who was eager to show off, the brothers and sisters of the Wang family just smiled and did not stop him.Shui Lian looked at the laundry tub in her hand and hesitated, "Why don't I take the tub home and go find you?"

Minghao smiled and said, "No, it's not too far away. It's just in the puddle to the south. The water over there is not to mention shallow, and the ice is frozen through..."

Since it wasn't far away, she simply walked to the south depression with the children of the Wang family. Mingcheng danced while walking, looking in a good mood.

Shui Lian couldn't help but want to tease the little guy.

"Mingcheng, was the fish delicious last night?"

The little guy pursed his lips, and on his thin and slightly frosted face, only his pair of jet-black eyes looked particularly bright.

"It's delicious, even better than the fish we ate last year. Our stomachs were full yesterday, and the fish is delicious..."

Seeing the way the little guy licked his lips greedily, not to mention how cute he is, if he was a little fatter, he would definitely be a beautiful little Zhengtai.

Looking at the brothers and sisters of the Wang family, they are not much better than themselves.

Now if someone asks her what meat tastes like, she probably can’t describe it. It’s been a long time since she had eaten pork. When she was in Wu’s house, she drank broth during the Chinese New Year. As for meat That's not her part.

Minghao and the others were prepared to come here today, some with a pickaxe, some with a shovel, and even Hongying was holding a net in his hand.

Seeing Shuilian looking at the net bag in her hand, Hongying proudly showed it, "My dad made this last night, it's just suitable for fishing. How about it, my dad is a coincidence?"

Shui Lian smiled and nodded, "Uncle is a clever man, it's really good to see that catching a fish once made him develop suitable tools..."

Mingcheng said proudly, "That's right, my dad also said, I will use this to catch frogs later.

Sister Shuilian, when we catch frogs in summer, I will eat your thighs. "Looking at the lovely younger brother in front of her, Shui Lian involuntarily reached out and rubbed his little head wearing a cotton hat.

Ming Hao saw that Shuilian's hand leaning over the washbasin was red from the cold, and quickly took off his cotton gloves.

"Shui Lian, you put this on first, or your hands will be frostbitten, and you will suffer in the future." Hongmei also gave Mingxuan the iron shovel in her hand. "Shui Lian, let me get the washbasin. Why don't you come out with gloves on in such a cold day? Fortunately, my brother has sharp eyes, otherwise we wouldn't have noticed."

Shui Lian smiled wryly, "I didn't bring anything with me when I came out from Wu's house, and they probably won't be able to give it to me, so bear with it for a while, and make one by myself when I have free time, otherwise, I can't stand the cold weather here..."

When they arrived at the place, the ice hole that Minghao and the others dug out yesterday had already frozen over after this night.

Fortunately, several children's tools are ready, and we know that we will encounter such a situation. "My dad was right. I thought it was just a layer of freezing at most. Good guy, this is really achievable. Brother, you smash it first, and I will shovel it. Big sister, you bring other people Stay far away, don't let Bingzi jump."

The brothers from the Wang family worked so hard on the ice that they dug a hole, but this time they didn't see any fish jumping out of the water.

Ming Hao saw that they were all staring at the fish coming out of the ice hole, and said to them with a smile, "Don't worry, I have good things in my pocket."

Shui Lian couldn't help being happy when she saw what he took out. "Brother Minghao, your preparations are really complete. You even brought fish food. Your method is better. You have been hungry under the ice for so long. I guess we will have a big harvest today." She said that she really answered her words today, since the slag of the corn cakes was sprinkled into the water, the fish under the ice hole all rushed to this side.

Mingxuan got a good deal this time, so he grabbed the net and started fishing, while Shuilian and the others were busy picking up fish.

This is the first time she has seen so many fish. Who would have thought that there would be so many fish in this muddy low-lying area, regardless of the size, after all, no matter how small the meat on a mosquito's leg is, it is still meat.

Fortunately, today they are considered a big harvest, there are small fish, and there are also many big fish.Minghao and the others dressed the grass that was given to her.

"Shui Lian, these are for you. We'll take them home and eat them. We'll catch them today. I guess the fish are full. We'll come back in two days."
