The Petite Wife of the First Family

  Chapter 9 Anything

   The three brothers and sisters arrived at the river dam soon. Xu Daniu looked thin, and he worked very hard. After a while, he cut a bundle of wicker.

  Xu Xiaowu neatly arranged the wicker that his brother cut down. Xu Zhizhi had never done farm work. Fortunately, the original owner has some memories, so it is not difficult to organize.

  Xu Zhizhi uses wicker to weave a mesh basket to catch fish.

   There was no harvest at first. She ordered a drop of spiritual spring water and put it in the basket, and it didn't take long before two fish weighing more than a pound went into the basket.

   "Sister, you can do everything! We didn't know that elder sister was so powerful before," Xu Xiaowu said admiringly.

  Xu Daniu also admired his sister very much, thinking to himself: "I guess I caught fish before, and I must have eaten it for Jin Zijun's mother and son, but they can't see it."

  Xu Daniu really wronged Xu Zhizhi. In the past, she was just a little more diligent and knew a little about herbal medicine from the village Lang School, but she really didn't know anything else.

   If you really have the ability, you won't starve your two younger brothers and yourself so thin and black.

  Looking at her seventeen-year-old self this year, and the skinny looking at her fourteen-year-old, she stood with Wang Shishi. Don't let anyone tell her that one is the moon in the sky and the other is the black mud on the ground.

   The three brothers and sisters returned home and helped Father Xu up. Everyone weaved baskets together, and Daniu Xu also followed.

  Xu Zhizhi is very interested in manual work that does not require brains.

   Xu's father's craftsmanship is really good. According to Xu Zhizhi's description, he really made it up, and it's pretty good.

   Xu Zhizhi's basket is even more beautiful.

   "Sister is amazing, she can do anything, it looks better than what Daddy made up." Xu Xiaowu said excitedly.

   He was afraid that he would not waste the wicker, so he didn't start learning to weave, and handed the wicker to his sister and brother next to him.

  Xu Daniu learns a little slower, and the editing is crooked, not very similar, but it can still be used, Xu Zhizhi asked him not to disassemble it, continue to make it, it can be used, anyway, at home, don't take it out.

   Xu’s father made two, and Xu Zhizhi also made one. Xu Daniu hasn't compiled one yet.

  Xu Zhizhi looked at the time, and when dinner was about to be made, he called Xu Xiaowu to light a fire, "Let's go and cook, and make braised fish for you to eat."

   Actually, she wanted to eat fish with pickled cabbage, but there was no pickled cabbage. The family was too poor to eat wild vegetables before, how could there be sauerkraut!

   Thinking of going to Houshan tomorrow to see if there are potatoes and those wild vegetables that can be made into sauerkraut.

  Although I bought a lot of rice the day before yesterday and put it in my space, it’s not good to eat white rice every day. It’s not good to change too much at once, and it’s not good to lie. He had to take his time, so Xu Zhizhi took out a bowl of rice, cut two sweet potatoes and cooked porridge together.

   I cooked a braised fish and mixed with a wild vegetable. The salad needs a lot of seasoning to taste good. There is room for seasoning, and it is not obvious when it is mixed with wild vegetables, but it tastes good.

   Picked another green vegetable from the space and fried it. No one in the family knew it and thought it was a digging wild vegetable.

   The family eats with relish. Father Xu is now working, in a better mood, and eating more deliciously. Besides, they usually eat fish, which always has a fishy smell.

  The poor family seldom buys meat to eat, and occasionally catch fish, and eat it no matter how fishy it is.

   Mother Xu was originally a person with no principles and a weak and bullying character. Otherwise, she would not have been eaten to death by her mother's family. If she had eaten something, she would be sent to filial piety to her parents, and she and her children would starve to death.

   The family of five was enjoying themselves, and the third uncle brought Xu Honghua and Xu Erniu to see his brother, why did he come at the meal time!

  It is estimated that he came to eat a bowl of nugget soup yesterday, and their third aunt can live a good life. But it's not very common to eat lump soup made of pure refined flour.

  I smelled the fragrance before I came in. I came in and looked at the fish on the table. Little Fatty Xu Erniu's eyes glowed, and Xu Honghua also watched eagerly.

   Xu’s father called his eldest son to add some bowls and chopsticks. Fortunately, a large pot of sweet potato porridge was cooked.

Xu Zhizhi just wanted to raise her younger brothers and herself to be plump and taller, so she deliberately cooked more so that each family member could eat one more bowl. .

   "Good time, the fish is delicious and fragrant." Xu Erniu picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and said while eating.

   He didn't know what politeness was. I usually only go to my uncle's house to eat something during Chinese New Year. Even during the Chinese New Year, there is nothing good to eat, and the uncle's house is much worse than theirs, so it is rare to come to the uncle's house every year.

   Yesterday, Daddy took them to see the uncle, saying that the uncle was injured to save him, and they had no choice but to come.

   Who knew that you could eat such a delicious nugget soup at a glance. So today, when my father came back from work, he said he would go to see his uncle after dinner.

  Second sister is usually lazy and slippery, but today she actually urged Dad to see Uncle now. Fortunately, she is smart, thinking of second sister must have something on her mind. Immediately followed along.

   I have never eaten such a delicious fish, there is no fishy smell at all, and it is very fragrant.

   Xu Erniu suspected that his second sister had already smelled the fragrance, so he actively urged his father to see his uncle.

  I have to say: Xu Erniu is the truth. The fish cooked by Xu Zhizhi is full of fragrance and drifts far away, making many children cry. His second sister is one of them.

  I heard her father say, go to dinner, how can you, hurry up to urge her father to come, really caught up.

   As soon as Xu Honghua sat down, she lowered her head and ate, saying something. How can it taste delicious.

   Uncle Xu looked at his children as if they were reincarnated from starvation, and was a little embarrassed to go catch a fish.

   He believes that he is not harsh on children, and that his wife and daughter-in-law will also manage the house. Although Dunton has no meat, it is not a problem to eat enough.

   Unlike my sister-in-law, who takes everything from her parents' house, her eldest niece takes everything from Jin Zijun's house, which makes the family so hungry that they are too thin.

   At that time, my eldest brother was injured, and he felt that the sky was about to fall. I cried so hard at that time, it was really heartbroken.

   Now looking at a table of delicious food, I feel at ease, but looking at the children's eating images, I feel ashamed to pick up fish.

   "The third brother eats it, I don't know this fish, how the girl Zhi made it, there is no fishy smell at all, try it and see." Boss Xu saw that his younger brother couldn't put down his chopsticks, and hurriedly took a chopstick and put the fish in the third brother's bowl and said.

  Uncle Xu took a bite, the mouth was full of fragrance, and the fish was smooth and tender. It was something he had never eaten in his life.

   It’s delicious to eat, but what about his eldest brother’s house in the future! Thinking like this, a look of sadness appeared on his face.

"Third uncle, eat more if it's delicious. The fish is caught in the river, so you don't need any money. If you don't see it, my father has made a few baskets. I will grow bean sprouts and sell them in the town." Xu Zhizhi looked at the three Uncle really cared about his family and comforted him.

  Uncle Xu didn't know what bean sprouts were, but when he heard that he could sell silver, he felt better. It tastes more delicious and reassuring.

   I thought to myself, I knew that girl Zhi had left her relatives, she was so sensible and capable, it would be better to leave early. But he wouldn't say it, for fear that his sister-in-law would be unhappy.

   At the end of the meal, Xu Erniu mixed the fish bowl with porridge and ate it.
