[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

Chapter 165 Years

Before dawn, Lin Huaimin woke up in a daze.She stayed on the bed in a daze for a while, then sat up suddenly, hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed and walked to the window.

Hearing the sound of rain coming from outside the window, Lin Huaimin's eyes suddenly became bright.She was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she opened the window on purpose.

As soon as the window was opened, a gust of cold wind mixed with rain blew over, making Lin Huaimin shiver.She quickly closed the window, hurried back to the bed, and wrapped herself tightly in the quilt.

Although it is almost May now, the temperature is still very low, especially on rainy days.Lin Huaimin felt warm after being covered in bed for a while.

When it rains, you don't need to go to the county town to set up a street stall, you can go to the river to catch fish.Thinking of catching fish, Lin Huaimin looked eager to try.However, it was not yet light, so she hurried back to sleep.

Yawning, Lin Huaimin slowly fell asleep.When she woke up again, it was already broad daylight.Lin Huaiyu followed Lin Jianghu to catch fish in the river, but Li Zhen did not go.

Li Zhen's body was cold, and his hands and feet became cold when the weather was cold.Lin Jianghu was reluctant for her to catch fish in the river, for fear that she would be frozen.After she had breakfast, she sat in the main room making clothes.

Don't look at her as a bourgeois lady, but she is very good at manual work.Before the accident, she liked to make or change clothes by herself.However, she is not good at embroidery.If she is good at embroidery, then their family can make money from embroidery.

In the morning, I ate noodles.Since they had rice noodles at home, the food quality of Lin Huaiyu's family has risen sharply, and they no longer need to eat porridge.

Lin Huaimin hurriedly finished a bowl of noodles, and was about to go to the river to catch fish.

Li Zhen didn't want her daughter to catch fish in the river, but seeing her daughter's enthusiasm, she couldn't spoil her daughter's interest.

"Catch it for a while and go ashore." Li Zhen warned, "The river is cold, don't stay in the water for a long time, you know?"

Lin Huaimin nodded obediently: "Mom, I understand, then I'll go first."

"Go."

It was still raining lightly outside, but this little rain could not stop the villagers from Shuiqiao Village from catching fish.

The river in Shuiqiao Village is not big, about two meters wide and several kilometers long.This river is not exclusive to Shuiqiao Village, but a river that passes through Shuiqiao Village.

The river passes through several villages, and Shuiqiao Village is located upstream of the river.

In the severe drought last year, the river in Shuiqiao Village was so dry that the bottom of the river was exposed.It has been raining since the beginning of this year, and the river has saved a lot of water, but only half of what it was when it was full, which means the river is not very deep.

The river is very lively, and the villagers are very active in catching fish, no matter men, women or children.

Some use nets to catch fish, some stand on boats and cast nets, some stand in the river to catch fish, and some drive fish into the set nets.

In order to catch fish, the village head led the villagers to pump water from the river.In one place, the bottom of the river was exposed, and the children in the village were all catching fish in this place.

Because of fishing, many fish rushed to the rice fields.Lin Huaiyu was catching fish in the rice field at this time. After Lin Huaimin found him, he caught fish with him.

The water in April was still very icy, and Lin Huaimin shivered as soon as he stepped into the water.However, soon she didn't care whether the water was ice or not.

There were many fish in the rice fields, and Lin Huaimin excitedly went around catching them.

Lin Huaiyu caught fish in the rice field for a while, then went to the river, where he caught loaches and rice field eels at the exposed bottom of the river.

Field eels are the most expensive, so it is natural to catch more field eels.

Lin Huaiyu is very good at catching eels.When he was young, he often followed his grandfather to catch rice field eels, or use cages to release rice field eels.

After a while, Lin Huaiyu caught a ricefield eel as thick as two thumbs.Pick it up and weigh it, it weighs about two or three catties.

I don't know if it's because no one has been catching rice eels to eat. There are a lot of rice eels in this river, and each of them is very thick.If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was a water snake.

In less than an hour, Lin Huaiyu caught more than a dozen eels, and each one was very thick. The thickest eel weighed about four or five catties.

The first time Lin Huaiyu caught a rice field eel weighing four to five catties, Lin Huaiyu wanted to take a photo and post it on Moments to show off. However, in this era without mobile phones and Moments, he couldn't show off even if he wanted to.

Lin Huaiyu asked the village chief to pack the eel alone, not to sell it to Mulan Hotel, but to give it to the manager of Mulan Hotel.

"Xiaoyu, isn't the rice eel sold to Mulan Restaurant owned by Manager Li? Why did you ask me to give it to him alone?"

"Village chief, it's different to give it alone." Lin Huaiyu explained, "This eel is so heavy, it's rare to see it. If you give it to Manager Li as a gift, Manager Li will be very happy."

The village chief didn't understand what Lin Huaiyu meant at first, but now he heard what Lin Huaiyu said, and he immediately reacted.

"Xiaoyu, you're still thoughtful." The village head said with a smile, "I'll listen to you and give this eel to Manager Li alone." I didn't expect Xiaoyu to be so sophisticated at such a young age.

"Village Chief, when you give it to Manager Li, you must say that this rice field eel nourish|kidney|strong|yang."

The village chief understood Lin Huaiyu's meaning, and scolded amusedly: "I didn't realize that you child still has such evil minds."

"Village Chief, if you say that, Manager Li will be happier." There are no men who don't want to nourish|kidney|strong|yang, especially middle-aged men.

"You child..." the village head smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'll tell Manager Li that when the time comes." After finishing speaking, he frowned slightly and said, "Xiaoyu, you just need to catch a cold, don't stay in the water for too long , Hurry up and go back to Nuannuan now, don’t catch a cold again.”

"Okay, then I'll go back first." When Lin Huaiyu went back, he pulled Lin Huaimin back by the way.

Lin Huaimin made mud all over his body.She obviously didn't fall, but mud was all over her head, face, and other places.

Although he didn't catch a few fish, Lin Huaimin was very happy to catch them, and he was very reluctant when he was pulled away by Lin Huaiyu.

Li Zhen had already boiled a pot of hot water, and seeing his son and daughter came back, he hurriedly let them take a hot bath.

After Lin Huaiyu and the others took a hot bath, Li Zhen made them drink another bowl of ginger soup.It's a little cold, drinking ginger soup can not only drive away the cold, but also prevent colds.

There was still some time before lunch, so Lin Huaiyu and Lin Huaimin went back to their rooms to read and study.

At noon, Lin Jianghu came back with a crucian carp.

Every time a fish is caught, the village head asks the villagers to take a fish back and cook it.However, most people are reluctant to take the fish back.It's not that they don't want to let go of a fish and sell it for money, but that they don't have any oil to cook fish at home.And the most important point is that the fish is too fishy, ​​if it is cooked without seasoning, it will not taste good.

Lin Huaiyu's family had a lot of condiments, plus they had tofu at home, so Lin Jianghu took back a crucian carp.

Li Zhen made crucian carp tofu soup from the crucian carp brought back by Lin Jianghu.Like a rainy day, you should drink hot soup.

There were not many beans at home, so Li Zhen asked Lin Huaiyu to buy some beans when he went to the county town to make tofu and bean sprouts.

When there is no food at home, Li Zhen likes to use soybeans to make bean sprouts.It is very simple to cultivate soybeans into bean sprouts, and the villagers in Shuiqiao Village can do it.

"Why don't I see if there is any potato seller. We can buy some potatoes and eat them, or we can grow them." Potatoes are easy to grow, and the yield is high.Lin Huaiyu thought that their family could grow some potatoes.

Li Zhen felt that her son's idea was good, "Then you can buy some potatoes." After finishing speaking, she thought of it, and said, "Buy some vegetables."

"it is good."

"By the way, if you see chickens and ducklings, buy a few of them." Now that the family has food, Li Zhen thinks that he can buy some chickens and ducklings to raise, so that he will have chickens and ducks to eat during the Chinese New Year.Not only that, the eggs laid by chickens and ducks can be sold.

"There are people selling chickens and ducklings in the black market, and I will buy some when the time comes."

"Mom, don't you want to feed the chickens and ducks when you buy them?" Lin Huaimin was reluctant to take out some of the rice noodles at home to feed the chickens and ducks.

"No, it's spring now. Chickens and ducklings can go out to eat wild vegetables or worms. There is no need to feed them specially." Li Zhen thought for a while and said, "Just buy five chickens and five ducklings, and there will be more in the future." If you have enough money, let’s raise some more.”

"no problem."

In the afternoon, although Lin Huaiyu and Lin Huaimin didn't have to go to the river to catch fish, they still had to earn work points.The two brothers and sisters went to herd the cattle and sheep raised in the village.

While herding cattle and sheep, Lin Huaiyu and Lin Huaimin learned what happened last night from other people.

Last night, Zhao Dongmei was going to her grandmother's house.When it was dark, she couldn't wait to go to her grandmother's house, but Zhang Guang caught her as soon as she walked out of the village.

Of course, it was Lin Huaiyu who informed Zhang Guang that Zhao Dongmei was going to escape.

Zhang Guang caught Zhao Dongmei and dragged her to his house forcefully.

Of course Zhao Dongmei was unwilling and did not dare to go to Zhang Guang's house.She knew in her heart that once she was dragged to his house by Zhang Guang, she would be a sheep.She immediately screamed and kept calling for help.After a while, it attracted the attention of other people in the village.

Zhang Guang didn't expect Zhao Dongmei to be quite strong, not only yelling, but also punching and kicking him.Not only that, Zhao Dongmei also bit people indiscriminately, biting his arm several times.

Zhao Dali and Niu Guihua rushed over.At first they didn't want to quarrel and fight, but Zhang Guang's parents were not good people, and they didn't speak cleanly. What they said about Niu Osmanthus became popular, and they started yelling at them.

The more the two families scolded, the worse it sounded, and then they did it.When the village head arrived, the two families had already started fighting.

Zhao Dongmei knelt in front of the village chief, saying that she would rather die than marry Zhang Guang.He also said that it is no longer the old society, and she cannot be forced to marry.If the Zhang family forces her to marry, she will hang herself.

The village chief didn't want to make a fuss, so he told Zhang Guang's family not to force Zhao Dongmei to marry.

Under the mediation of the village chief, the Zhao family and the Zhang family temporarily stopped their activities.However, Zhang Guang did not intend to let Zhao Dongmei go because of this.

The more Zhao Dongmei didn't want to marry him, the more he wanted to marry Zhao Dongmei.He will let Zhao Dongmei marry him willingly.

With Zhang Guang entangled, Zhao Dongmei will not turn his mind to Lin Huaimin for the time being.However, when Sun Xiangyang was transferred to Shuiqiao Village, Zhao Dongmei might not let Lin Huaimin go.

Before Sun Xiangyang was sent to Shuiqiao Village, Zhang Guang was asked to marry her.Fortunately, there was still some time before Sun Xiangyang was sent to Shuiqiao village.

At this time, Zhao Dongmei was also thinking about Sun Xiangyang.If she endured for a few more months, she would be able to wait for the hero Sun Xiangyang.Before meeting Sun Xiangyang, she must not marry Zhang Guang.
