?? I don¡¯t know that Xinhu randomly chose this place, and all the fish gathered here. Or maybe the fish were frightened just below the hole, and there were actually several fish trying to jump out of the water.
¡°Fish, there are really fish.¡± Xie Shuer shouted excitedly. She no longer looked like a wealthy lady, and even the usually dignified Sister-in-law Xie couldn't restrain the surprise on her face.
Xin Hu ignored them and directly picked up the stone to expand the holes until they could accommodate the baskets, then dropped the baskets that had been tied with ropes.
Watching her throw the basket tied with a rope into the water, the aunt and sister-in-law stared at the water nervously, not daring to move. It seemed like I could pull in a basket of fish right away.
"Don't worry, we can play for a while." Xinhu looked around for a few times, and finally started to cut the reeds and thatch on both sides of the bank honestly. Anyway, the fish will be killed later, and a fire will definitely be lit. It's better to prepare firewood now.
"There's no need to cut the reeds. Aren't my brothers going to cut the reeds?" Xie Shu'er said.
"This is for us to use later." Xin Hu said.
Hearing what she said, Wang and Shuer also came over to cut reeds, but they just held kitchen knives. They couldn't match Xinhu's speed.
After cutting a pile of firewood, Xin Hu came over to collect the rope and slowly pulled the basket up.
As soon as the basket came out of the water, everyone saw the lively fish inside.
Qing'er stepped forward and wanted to help Xin Hu, but Xin Hu ignored him and directly picked up the entire basket filled with fish. Auntie Xie stepped forward to take a look and shouted excitedly: "Wow, there are so many fish."
Xinhu was also very happy. He poured the fish out of the basket and went to pull the second basket. Today's harvest is quite good. The baskets pulled up twice contained most of the fish, weighing about seventy or eighty kilograms.
However, now that there are more Xie family members and more people eating, these two baskets of fish are not enough to share. Xinhu then threw the basket into the water. Then I started to pack the fish with Aunt Xie.
Mrs. Wang quickly lit the fire and set up the fire. The three of them moved to the fire and began to kill the fish hard.
"Oh, Ahu still has a way. Today's harvest is not small. Thank you so much." Mrs. Wang looked at the fish jumping on the ground and couldn't help but say thank you.
This time she really saw Xinhu¡¯s fishing skills. Such a simple and rough method, but the harvest was so good, it was really surprising. The bait she and Xie Shuer secretly brought was not used at all. Now, this little food makes them feel very distressed. Who would have thought that Xinhu doesn't need it at all.
"It's okay. If you pull two more baskets, each family can share a lot of fish, which will be enough for many days." Xin Hu said without stopping, picking up large fish to kill, and told Xie Sister-in-law, how do you properly handle the fish's internal organs? Don't throw away the edible ones.
Xie's aunt and sister-in-law looked at her, not daring to do anything for a long time, and they didn't know how to deal with the internal organs of these fishes. In the end, they only dared to kill small fish. Xinhu only discovered this problem after killing four large fish of about five or six kilograms. He thought they were embarrassed to take the big fish.
"You kill the big fish, why do you only pick the small ones?" Xin Hu said, and simply divided the fish into piles. Basically, the big and small fish were almost the same. One pile belongs to her and the other belongs to the Xie family.
Sister-in-law Xie blushed and said: "Hey, Ahu, we don't know how to kill such a big fish. We're afraid it won't work well." The two of them had never done this kind of work before, and they only killed small fish recently. Learned. Looking at so many big fish, how dare you take action?
Xin Hu looked at the two people and smiled disapprovingly: "It's okay, take your time. Big fish are difficult to kill. I'll help you kill a few first. How about you help me kill the small fish?"
"Thank you. Then you kill the big fish and we kill the small fish." Xie Shuer said.
After dividing the work, the three of them worked together and moved very quickly. When the big fish were almost all killed and Xie's two sisters-in-law were still busy killing the small fish, Xin Hu went to pull the basket again. Unexpectedly, the two baskets of fish this time were more and bigger than the previous ones.
She couldn't help but smile and said: "A lot of fish. I'm so lucky today." Xin Hu made a rough estimate and found that this time he pulled up a total of about 300 kilograms of fish. It happens that one family shares one hundred catties. Enough to feed several families for many days.
Mrs. Wang went to the waterside to wash her hands, took out the two pancakes she had brought to use as fishing bait, and slowly roasted them on the fire. It wasn't long before she came out. She was tired of killing fish, so these two cakes were just for her.bsp; "Mom, Ah Lake is so powerful. She just found a place, broke open the ice, threw the basket into the water, and then pulled it up. Most of the basket was filled with fish. She pulled four baskets , so many fish were caught." Xie Shuer said excitedly.
"We got almost 300 kilograms of fish and divided it among the three of our families. Since our family has a large population, we should share more. Aunt Liu said that her family had a small population and couldn't eat them all, so she only wanted about 60 kilograms. Today, Aunt Liu and Dalang We all went to chop wood, but Dalang didn¡¯t want the wood we chopped.¡± Mr. Xie took the words and explained.
"There are also the offal of these fish. Ah Hu said that they can be refined into oil, and they are all edible. He also said that eating them is good for the eyes." Wang Qing'er pointed to the small basket of fish offal and said.
"This kid is really capable." Mrs. Xie didn't know how to praise Xin Hu at all. I can only use the most common word "competent" to describe it.
"She is indeed capable. She knows a lot. She also said today that people with bad character cannot marry. She also said that Ah Shu should break off the engagement and find a better family than that one to make them angry to death." After thinking about it, I decided to tell what happened today.
"How did it get involved?" Mrs. Xie frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.
"It's me. I told her myself. After my father's death, my family thought my family's status was not as good as before, so they didn't want to marry me, so they kept holding off." Xie Shuer said quickly.
"Alas, what Ah Hu's child said was rough. But if Shu'er withdraws from this family, it will be even more difficult to find someone better than their family. Besides, it is so chaotic now, which will affect the marriage even more. . I¡¯m afraid all the good families have gotten married early, so how can there be any good men left who are well-matched?" Mrs. Xie said with a long sigh.
It¡¯s not that she doesn¡¯t want to break off the engagement for her daughter, it¡¯s just that her daughter is old and can¡¯t stand the delay. Now she only regrets that she should not have been in such a hurry to go to Beijing now. I should have gone to Beijing two or three years earlier. At that time, there was still room for twists and turns in Shu'er's marriage.
"Then I'll marry a widower, a boy from a poor family. It's better than shamelessly marrying into their family. If they don't want to marry me, even if they are forced to marry me, can they treat me well? I don't know, it will make the trouble even worse. Yeah." Xie Shuer straightened her face and directly expressed her dissatisfaction.
She is already very dissatisfied with her mother and eldest brother who always hold on to the idea that the other party can successfully marry her. To be honest, she already hates this family very much. Even if someone wants to marry now, she doesn't want to marry yet.
"When will the trouble become more ugly? Do you still want to go to their house to make trouble after you get married?" Mrs. Xie frowned and asked her daughter seriously.
"Of course, their family doesn't want to. Even if I pass, will I be able to live a good life? If I don't let it be easy for me, I can make it easier for them. If I don't make his family crazy, I will It's not Xie Shu'er. Even if they don't make trouble, I will take the initiative to make trouble. Who wants to spend their whole life with someone they hate." Xie Shu'er said fiercely.
This family is really annoying. If we had come directly to cancel the engagement a few years ago, my mother and brother would not have been so embarrassed. But they had to drag me to this age, and they didn't say anything clearly and ignored me. It was really hateful.
"Mother, how about I take Xie Wu to Beijing now to inquire about the situation and see what the hell is going on in their family. Although Shu'er's marriage cannot be delayed, we can't just marry her into a hot bed." Xie The young master said.
Since my sister is already so resistant in her heart, I really want to wait until she gets married to make trouble. It's better to break off the engagement now. However, he had to find out clearly what the other party wanted to do. You also need to find out the other person's faults and win the greatest face for your sister. Otherwise, it would be too easy for their family to break off the engagement so easily after their sister was dragged to this age.
"No, how can you go to Beijing like this? At least we have to wait until spring." Mrs. Xie flatly rejected her son's words.
Let¡¯s not talk about whether the village we are staying in is safe or not. At least everyone knows that the roads are not safe. Besides, the Xie family didn't know where they were waiting, and they were always thinking about taking their son's life. Besides, the weather is so cold, it's really hard to go out. If you don't do it right, just this kind of weather may kill someone. She also didn't want to get involved with her son for the sake of her daughter. If something happens to the son, the daughter's life will be really over. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
