pastoral fragrance

Chapter 92

This price is considered to be a good one, and Han Shi looked at Qiulin's smiling face in a blink of an eye, and laughed too.Said: "Let's carry you first, I'm busy here, and my hands smell like fish."

She pointed to the dozen or so fish hanging in the yard, and said, "You guys will send these fish to grandma's house and Aunt Qi's house next autumn." The in-laws forgot.

When Qiuyue heard the words, she lowered her head shyly and nodded silently twice.In this way, wouldn't she be able to meet Ah Cheng?Speaking of which, the two of them haven't seen each other for several months, and I don't know if Mo You passed the foreign country test, do you miss her?
Looking at the look of the elder sister who is full of spring, one can tell that she is thinking about it again.Qiulin sneered, then lowered his head and rolled up his sleeves to help scrape off the annoying scales on the fish.

Cut open the belly of the fish, take out the dirty things inside, scrape the fish scales clean, and then put salt on the inside and outside of the fish, make sure to put salt on every place, otherwise it will Sour.The salted fish are directly stacked in a large log, and after the salt is soaked into the fish, the marinated fish is hung on the beam in the stove.

After the Xu family finished all this, the sky was already pitch black.There is no need to cook additional meals, and the leftover meals at noon can be reheated and eaten, and there are still leftover meals, so there is no need to make additional meals.So I only lit the fire, and put two handfuls of willow wood that are more resistant to burning, and the food was already fragrant.

Everyone is extremely tired today, and their appetite is much larger than usual.After eating, everyone went to bed.After tossing around like this today, I am so tired that I can't straighten my waist, but I have to go to rest early.I have to go to the river to wash the lotus root tomorrow.There is still mud on the lotus root, but no one wants to buy it.

As night fell, Qiulin's family was too tired to go to rest early, but Xu Nandi's family hadn't rested yet.

"Wash your hands quickly, and get ready to eat." Yan Shi held the steaming food and pushed Xu Nandi who was doing knitting work with his head down, his tone was blunt and a little disgusted, his old face was always tense, and he didn't know Who is he showing this stinky face to?

Xu Nandi ignored her, put down the knitting now, went over to wash his hands, and then sat down next to the dining table.

The two sons of Xu Nandi's family also sat next to each other, and only when eating, the two children were relatively well-behaved.How can I sit so neatly on weekdays?Yan Shi looked at these two children with a headache, and then at her own headed family who had a face full of promises, feeling in her heart that she didn't know what it was like.

Qiu Ya and Qiu Ya carefully looked at the food on the table, stared fiercely for a few times, and then asked, "Mother, what is this?

Xu Nandi didn't understand either, "Daughter-in-law, what is this?"

Yan slapped his chopsticks, and there was a bang on the floor, and he said in a cold voice: "Why, if you want to eat well, you have to be able to do that! You can't save the little crops in the field all day long, and you can't save it even if you work hard all day. A few large sums of money have to be posted to these two debt collectors. If the eldest daughter did not bring back some money every month, our family might not be able to drink corn mush!" Yan's exaggerated loud voice was harsh .

Xu Nandi didn't want to make a fuss with her, so he held a bowl and drank the corn mush like no one else.He knew that if she quarreled with Yan Shi now, she would go to the sky with her nose up.And I was already clumsy, so I couldn't compare to her sharp mouth, so I just didn't say anything.

Yan refused to let go and yelled: "Don't think it's over if you don't say anything. In this world, planting a few crops doesn't know how much rent you have to pay. It's getting more and more uneconomical. It's better to raise The fingerling and lotus root are good!"

Xu Nandi's heart skipped a beat, "You want to raise fish? But our family doesn't have a fish pond?" Xu Nandi knew that Yan's saying this must be because he was jealous that his second brother's family is now living a prosperous life.

Yan Shi glared at Xu Nandi, who was so frightened that Xu Nandi quickly stopped talking. "Does the fish pond still belong to his family, does it belong to his family? When my father-in-law died, he didn't say who owned the fish pond! It's shameless, but he swallowed the fish pond by himself, it's too shameless !"

Xu Nandi saw that she had really pushed her nose to the face, but said in a low voice: "But didn't everyone think it was useless because the fish pond had been abandoned for many years?" what's the use
Yan scolded fiercely: "Pig brains, even if the fish pond has been abandoned for many years and has been reused by the second family, can it be said that the fish pond belongs to the second family? Father-in-law didn't say anything about the fish pond. It was reserved for the second son’s family! Since you didn’t say anything, how can you say that the fish pond belongs to their family!” When the second son’s family picked up fish and lotus root, she also sneaked over to have a look, at least several hundred catties , at least it has to be sold for several taels of silver, and the lotus root is white and fat.How much money can't be added.These days, if you want to ask which family in the village is the most popular, isn't it the second family?

It is to point out the way to get rich for the people in the village, to make dense fruit and so on; it is to let everyone go to the forest to dig grass roots and so on.I heard that the second child's family also raised silkworms. After this year, the family has earned at least dozens of taels of silver.As for their family, they snatched the Susukida from the second family's family, but they couldn't produce much food, and the labor force in the family was not enough. The two fat sons lived for nothing all day long, so what kind of work could they be expected to do?As a last resort, they had to ask people to harvest crops in the fields.In this way, how much food can be left in the hand?
Yan's became more and more angry, why did the second son's family turn around, and the days are getting more and more prosperous?

No, this fish pond does not belong to their family, so why let their family raise lotus root fish species! "Let's go to our in-laws and take back this fish pond!" Yan made up his mind to take back the fish pond.

That fish pond can cost ten taels of silver a year at least, it's better than digging in the soil all day long!
Xu Nandi frowned, he knew his daughter-in-law's temperament, and said what she said was right.But the last time he robbed his second brother's land, he has always been worried about it. The second family's life has finally become easier. Do you really want to rob his fish pond?
Seeing him hesitating, Yan slapped the dining table, "What's your opinion? You think of others like this, do they think of you? I heard that everyone who went to help their family today took fish and Lotus root. You are his big brother, why didn’t he come to pick you up with fish and lotus root? You are still so stupid to care about the pitiful brotherhood? In his heart, it has long been Don't treat you like a brother!"

Yan's words made Xu Nan's face turn green and pale, and he had obviously seen it.Now that Yan Shi said this, he felt very uncomfortable, and mixed with the uncomfortable emotion was a vague anger.What the daughter-in-law said is right, he is his serious elder brother, the broken bones are still connected.But this second child is too unkind. He sent those mermaids in the village who can't be hit by eight poles to their homes, but he never saw him. Didn't he take his elder brother seriously at all?Thinking of this, Xu Nandi became more and more angry.

"We'll discuss it with my in-laws tomorrow, and we must bring back the fish pond!" Shi Yan glared at Xu Nandi, and made a final decision.

Xu Nandi puffed up his gang, a trace of unbearableness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly faded away.He didn't say a word, and lowered his head to plan his meal.

A dim yellow kerosene lamp was lit at the house of the third child of the Xu family. Just after dinner, Qiu Huai sat under the lamp and embroidered a purse. She embroidered a lotus flower, which was extremely pink and lifelike. It can be seen that its embroidery skills are quite superb.Xu Nanyun was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks, while Fang was leaning on the chair peeling melon seeds, but she looked gloomy and thoughtful.

"Wait." Seeing that Xu Nanyun picked up the bowls and chopsticks and was about to take them to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Fang, who was originally silent, suddenly called him.

Xu Nanyun stood still, recovered his senses and took a look at his mother-in-law. Seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help becoming serious in his heart. "What's wrong?"

Fang threw the melon seed husks into the dustpan filled with rubbish, "You saw the commotion at Lao Er's house today, and the whole village has come to help. This is not a small situation."

Xu Nanyun didn't know what Fang was going to say, so he didn't say anything.

Fang grabbed a handful of melon seeds again and began to chew, "The fish pond in his house is both for raising fish and growing lotus roots. See, the fish in that group weighed at least four to five hundred catties, and the lotus root must have weighed more than a thousand catties, let alone ten. Earn two denarii."

Oh, the mother-in-law is jealous of the second child's family, Xu Nanyun said in a low voice: "Are you jealous? It's useless to be jealous, it belongs to their family." He didn't understand, because his family had a lot of fields anyway. Why, after paying the rent in the past two years, there is not much food left?On the contrary, it's the second brother's family, who doesn't have half an acre of land, and lives a prosperous life on his birthday, which is much better than those of them who plan to eat in the soil!

Fang spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells, and said sharply: "Fah, that fish pond belongs to his family? Who did the father-in-law not assign the fish pond to when he died? Exclusive?" Fang's shrewd little eyes rolled around, "How can you say it belongs to his family without any proof, and the old lady said that the fish pond belongs to our family!" He Xu Nanshan's family wanted I swallowed the fish pond all by myself, no way!
Xu Nanyun was stunned, unable to tell the good from the bad for a while, he was speechless.
