Chapter 324

Xiao Qian put away the last two pans of fried small fish, and decided to give it to Zhou Zhou Lang to try it tomorrow, and the first pot was also put away and saved for dinner.

Man Bao, who ate five or six small fish in a row, was also driven out by Xiao Qian.

Santou was a little sad, looked at Man Bao and said, "Little aunt, we haven't eaten any fish."

He wanted to eat fish, why did the little aunt clearly let the mother keep all the fish, but they didn't eat it?

Man Bao felt a little guilty and promised, "I'll give you one more when we have dinner."

These words did not make Santou happy, he sighed and sat down on the threshold.

Sanya and Sitou have been playing with Santou all the time. When they saw their brother like this, they also said "sigh" and sat on the threshold with their chins in their hands, looking at the front together sadly.

Man Bao also sat down and reminisced about the little fish he ate just now.

She smacked her mouth and said, "The baby fish made by Shanbao's family is even better."

"Of course," Santou said without thinking, "their family is deep-frying small fish, they use a lot of oil, and there is also salt in the pan. Mother is only willing to put a little oil, it's fried, and it's not Put salt."

But also delicious.

Three heads sighed sadly again.

The remaining three also sighed in unison.

A villager who came home with a hoe from the field was so happy when he saw it, he stopped and asked, "Manbao, what are you doing with your nephews and nieces?"

Four children, two under seven years old, and the remaining two only four or five years old, sat in rows on the threshold, directly blocking the door, and they couldn't help but feel unhappy.

Before Man Bao could speak, Santou spoke first, "We're talking about eating small fish, Uncle Di, do you make small fish in your family?"

"Oh, isn't that food for the chickens at home?" Zhou Di smiled and said, "Even if you want to eat it, you should eat big fish. By the way, are your father and the others fishing for fish in the river?"

Santou nodded regretfully, obviously the small fish is better than the big fish.

"Then tell your father, if you catch a big fish and keep two for me, tomorrow will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family has to eat something good. I'll exchange the beans with your family later."

Santou had to nod before Man Bao said, "I don't want beans, I want rice."

"Oh, I only have a few catties of rice at home. How good are the beans? Isn't your sister-in-law making tofu? You use a lot of tofu, right?"

The three stopped talking.

Man Bao said: "My family has a lot of beans. My father said that except for tofu, you can use beans. You can't exchange beans for other things. Otherwise, you have to take them to the county town to sell them."

"Can we use wheat then?"

Flour is also better than bean rice, Man Bao nodded.

"Okay, remember to ask your eldest brother to keep two fish for me."

Man Bao nodded, "As long as my eldest brother can catch big fish."

Zhou Di left, and the four children continued to sit on the threshold in a daze.

In the end, the youngest Sitou couldn't sit still. He looked left and right, and went straight to grab Manbao's hand, "Little aunt, go play, go play."

Man Bao took his little hand and got up, "Okay, let's go to the river to find your father."

Santou and Sanya immediately jumped up to keep up. They were the youngest in the family and had been strictly forbidden to go to the river to play.

But going with my sister-in-law, obviously you won't be in the ranks of being beaten.

The old Zhou family's rules have always been very clear, the big ones make mistakes while the young ones make mistakes and beat the big ones.

If Man Bao followed Ertou and the others to the river, then Ertou and the others must have been beaten.

But if Man Bao took the three heads to the river, it would definitely not be San Ya and Si Tou, but San Tou and Man Bao of the same age.

Santou is sure that if the little girl is beaten, then he will not be beaten wrongly, but if the little girl is not beaten, generally speaking, Santou will not be beaten.

He happily followed Man Bao to the river.

There are many people in the river at the entrance of the village.

This year's autumn harvest ended very quickly. At this time, every household was doing rice drying and was not busy. Moreover, tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Today, everyone does not want to work in the fields.

So many people come to the river to fish.

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang took their younger brothers and sons to the river early in the morning to occupy a good position. In addition to setting fish baskets, they also set down fishing nets.

On Friday, Lang only broke the privet from the mountain and ran to the river to help.

At this time, he was standing in the river playing with his trouser legs on his back, so angry that Zhou Lang wanted to beat him, "The fish were scared away by you bastards."

As soon as he looked up and saw Man Bao and Santou coming with the two youngest children, Zhou Lang waved quickly, "Why are you here? Go home quickly."

Wu Wulang happened to be caught ashore by Zhou Dalang, so he simply sat on the grass and said, "What's the matter, I'll watch them, eldest brother and third brother, please fish quickly."

Zhou Dalang stood still and said, "Wait a minute, let's see if we can catch big fish in this net."

Saturday Lang also climbed ashore, squatted beside the fifth brother, looked down, shook his head and said, "It's hard to guess. We have all played three nets today, and we haven't seen a few big fish."

Man Bao also squatted beside Wu Lang with three heads, looked down, then looked around and asked, "Brother Five, we haven't caught a single big fish?"

"I got it, it's in a wooden barrel."

Man Bao immediately leaned in to take a look, and saw four or five fish crammed into the wooden barrel, but they were not very big. They were only as wide as the eldest brother's palm, which was only slightly longer than the palm of his hand.

Just thinking about it, Zhou Dalang and Zhou Dalang closed the net. As soon as they pulled the net up, they saw many small fish rushing out of the small hole first. Zhou Dalang didn't mind, that was the hole he adjusted at noon.

A bucket of small fish has been sent back, and the rest will naturally be released, otherwise where can I find fish next year?

The net was getting tighter and tighter, and the two brothers were not slow or slow. Only at the end did they mention the fishing net fiercely, and they saw seven or eight big fish jumping inside, two of them grass carp as thick as Zhou Dalang's arm. , as long as half an arm.

He was so happy that he immediately pulled the net ashore with Zhou Lang.

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang immediately took the barrels and prepared to catch fish.

As long as the fish larger than the palm of your hand are put in wooden barrels, the rest will be taken to the river to continue.

Zhou Dalang was very satisfied with today's harvest, while Man Bao turned his head to look upstream in regret, "It would be great if the dam was broken again."

Zhou Dalang almost mixed his left foot with his right, and Zhou Dalang almost choked on his saliva, but the three heads nodded together with the two little ones.

Especially his son, who ordered very seriously, even though Sitou was four years old, it was difficult to speak, but he had a very good memory. He still remembered the fishing last year.

Even the sensible Friday Lang and Saturday Lang couldn't help but look left and right, and then lowered their voices: "I also think the dam is broken..."

Zhou Dalang's face darkened, and he said, "It's not that you are going to serve in the co-authorship, are you?"

The brothers immediately shrank their necks and hid behind Man Bao.
