Hard times have room

Chapter 820 Focus
At noon, I ate porridge with sweet potatoes and wild vegetables. It was very simple. Baolin also used the dried bamboo shoots and dried loach that had been dried before, and added the few chopped peppers at home to stir-fry a dish, which was very fragrant.

Loach is caught during spring plowing and transplanting fields. Besides, there are a few lakes in the village, and there are quite a lot of them.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang, except for the ones they ate freshly, all the rest were sun-dried loach, which added up to more than two catties, not a lot.

In addition to dried loach, there are also some sun-dried small miscellaneous fish. This is what Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang went to fish when the lakes in the village were about to dry up. Besides the fresh ones, they also dried more than four catties. Not bad.

In addition, there are also snails, river mussels and the like. When you first touch these things, they seem to be the most. But when you take out the meat and dry it, there is still not even two catties of meat, which is still a little bit worse.

But that shell, it looks like a lot, there are several empty shells in the basket, it looks like a lot, but it's not very useful, so it's just a look.

Those shells were all cracked in the sun, and they were scattered in the vegetable field, which can be regarded as fertilizing the field.

They were able to fish so many things because they were the first to fish in the lake. At that time, the water in the lake was as high as thighs, but they had nets. It's still quite rewarding, and the dried meat stored at home is the naked evidence.

They put their minds on these things because they heard the captain's wife say that you need to use your brain to read, and you need to eat delicious food if you use your brain, and you need to make up for meat and eggs. The idea went to those lakes that were about to dry up.

They plan to ask Pauline to take these things to school, and put some of them in every other day or two.

Now is the critical moment for Pauline to study, and the two of them don't want to hold her back, so they naturally try their best to provide her with the best conditions. This is their parental heart, always thinking of giving their children the best, but Always forget yourself.

In just two days, their harvest was enviable. In the afternoon of the second day, someone followed the couple to do it, and the harvest was not bad.

On the third day, there are a little too many people, and the harvest depends entirely on luck.

On the fourth and fifth days, there were a lot of people in the lake. In most cases, they could only catch a few fish, and the rest were snails and mussels. Most people in the village detested these two things. Yes, I think it smells fishy, ​​and I don't want it, so they can pick up so many screw mussels.

The couple’s harvest was okay in the first two days, and they basically went to pick up snails later, because there were too many people in the lake. In a lake with a water surface of only more than 200 square meters, forty or fifty people went down. There may not be as many fish inside, so how can you catch anything!
The family of three finished their meal at home, and deliberately stayed at home to rest for a while, and then went out after more than 20 minutes, because they were afraid that they would encounter the scene of their family having dinner when they arrived at the old house, and it would be embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, the more you don’t want to bump into something, the easier it is to bump into something. When the family entered the old house, when they were still in the yard, they saw Baozhu from the old house neatly arranging the bowls and chopsticks. Well, let alone eat.

That's weird, didn't the old lady look anxious before?How come they haven't eaten yet, isn't this a delay?

If we waited a while and proceeded at the speed of the old house, it would definitely be a waste of time to start work this afternoon, and it would definitely be too late in time.

The old lady is still directing in the kitchen, and now in the main room, only the old man Wang and Wang Jian Wang Jianjun, plus two younger ones, Wenjun and Baozhu, everyone in the house was a little surprised to see the second child's family coming to the old house, and then, Except for the two young ones, the rest of them all lowered their heads, as if they had nothing to do with themselves and hung high.

Of course, it was like this on the surface, but I kept thinking about things in my heart, recalling what the old lady said at noon today.

Wen Jun and Baozhu sat on the second table after setting up the tableware, holding their tableware in their hands. Obviously, the two young ones were hungry.

Feeling so embarrassed, the family of three didn't enter the main room, but sat on the stone pier by the gate of the old house, and didn't intend to go in to disturb them.

Otherwise, if they go in and stand there, and the old lady asks them to eat, they will feel embarrassed, as if they came here by themselves to eat and drink, and besides, they must not be the second bedroom. There was not enough to eat, and the sides were quite embarrassing.

If they went in and stood there, the old lady would ignore them and let the family of three stand and watch them eat, then they would be even more embarrassed. up.

Therefore, it is better not to enter the main room.

After all the people in the second room had gone out, Wang Jianjun went to the kitchen with a wink, and told Mrs. Wang who was supervising the cooking of the women at home. .

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she gave Li Tao and Xu Qing a sharp look in her eyes. It was because these two people provoked troubles and delayed the time. Otherwise, the family would have had dinner early, so why wait until this time? The meal is not ready yet!

Li Tao and Xu Qing also felt very helpless, the amount of food the old lady brought out today was the same as usual, but today there are three more people in the family, three more mouths!
If no food was added, wouldn't it mean that Wang Ying and his mother were eating three-thirds of the food of their entire family? How could this be possible?

Originally, the daily food cooked at home was not enough to eat. If some more were given out to Wang Ying and his mother, there would be nothing to eat. Of course they would make trouble, otherwise the old lady would not know what to do.

So, the two started to quarrel on purpose, first they didn't cook, and after waiting for so long, they quarreled over how much water to put in the pot.

Li Tao insisted on putting in the same amount of water as usual, because the grain that Mrs. Li brought over was the same as usual, and if there was too much water, the porridge would be so watery that it would be unhealthy, it would be the same as water Thin porridge, not at all hungry.

Xu Qing insisted that there should be more water. After all, Wang Ying and his mother and son would also eat lunch at home.

Although there is still the same amount of food, it is also good to fill up the stomach with water.

The focus of the debate between the two was reasonable and reasonable, the voice of the debate was loud enough, and the two pretended to have a small fight, the whole old house, not to mention how exciting it was.
