Chapter 24 Belonging to Their True Home
When they came to the west end of the village, they saw Li Zheng and his three sons busy in and out, carrying wood back and forth.

Father Xu quickly jumped off the bullock cart.Then he helped Xu's mother to sit down in the empty space beside her.

He said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Lizheng and the brothers have worked hard. We are late. Jingde, just put your things in the yard."

Hearing the commotion, Li Zheng stopped what he was doing, and said cheerfully: "It's not too late, we've just started work. We plan to let the children strengthen the roof, lay some straw, and put the The two rooms are also complete, and it won’t take long for people to live in it.”

After setting things up, Father Xu rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help with the work.

Xu Jianing was not idle either.She carefully observed the surrounding environment.I found that this place is not far from the back mountain, and there are only one or two families nearby, which can save a lot of trouble.

Thinking of the pig offals she bought in the town, she found a clean wooden basin and packed them, took some flour, and was about to go out and find a place to wash them.

Eldest sister Xu Jiayin followed behind her, took the basin from her hand, and whispered to her, "Come with me."

Xu Jianing followed behind her, and the two soon came to a small river.

After seeing the contents in the basin, Xu Jiayin was a little confused, "Ning'er, what should we do with these pigs in the water? Tell me how to do it, and I'll help."

Xu Jianing pinched the bridge of her nose with a guilty conscience, but she was also a little confused.I just looked at the database and knew the specific steps, but it was also the first time I tried to do it myself.

Thinking of this, she said vaguely, "Let's see what's inside first, and then decide how to change it."

The two sisters put the things aside, and Xu Jianing looked through them. Fortunately, there were only some pork liver, pig heart, pork belly and so on.

It's a pity that Uncle Wang didn't give them the most difficult pig's large intestine.But it’s good, it saves a lot of flour, and it’s much more convenient to wash by the river.

Just when they were almost done cleaning, Xu Jianing saw a lot of fish and shrimps swimming over in the river.

She immediately became interested, "Sister, take your things back to the kitchen first, I want to get some fish to eat."

Xu Jiayin sighed helplessly, "This thing is not tasty, but it is fishy and has many thorns. Otherwise, the villagers will finish fishing. Let's go back earlier, I guess Dad will let us prepare the Lizheng family's meal."

Hearing what she said, Xu Jianing's eyes lit up.

No one eats, no one fishes, isn't that better?It's all money!

Spicy dried fish, shrimp paste, crucian carp tofu soup, pickled fish...

As long as they can eat spicy food, and there are many dishes related to fish and shrimp, she will have a way to make money.

At worst, they can keep them for the winter.

It's only two months before the Chinese New Year in winter.Their family hasn't started stockpiling food yet, and Xu Jianing is still a little anxious, feeling insecure without food.

But the most urgent thing now is to quickly have a home of their own.

Seeing that she insisted on catching fish, Xu Jiayin gave a few words of worry and left quickly.

Xu Jianing, who was standing by the river waiting for her eldest sister to go back to get her things, was not idle either.

She closed her eyes and entered the space to search, and found that there are still many ways to catch fish, but there are many materials that do not exist in this era.

After thinking about it, she decided to fish in the water.

Just do it, she immediately sat aside and took off her shoes and socks.Rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs, did some warm-up exercises on the shore, and then went into the water.

It was noon, and the water temperature was not too cold.Many small fish swam away from her, but she didn't care.Focus on a big fish not far away.

Feeling that the time had come, she quickly put her hand into the water, and a miracle happened, she caught a big crucian carp with her bare hands.

When Xu Jiayin hurried over, she saw their sister standing in the water and giggling.

This terrified her.

She shouted anxiously, "Ning'er, what are you doing? Hurry up! Why did you run into the river? It's dangerous. Come back quickly."

Xu Jianing walked towards the shore while talking, "Sister, look quickly, I caught a fish, haha..."

"Don't make trouble, come up quickly." Xu Jiayin still yelled a little worriedly, "You are not in good health, don't stay in the water for too long. Look, I brought you something good."

Xu Jiayin took out a net-like thing from the barrel and handed it to her, "Look, I found a lot of hemp rope in Lizheng's house, so I made a temporary net. I don't know if it will be useful. You come up first."

Xu Jiayin rushed over quickly and threw the fish in her hand into the bucket.

Picking up one side of the fishing net, he said to his eldest sister, "Sister, let's try to pull one end each. I guess big fish will be fine."

Xu Jiajing stood quietly in the water, and soon, many more fish swam over. The two sisters worked together and really caught a lot of fish.

Xu Jianing's mouth was full of joy, and she flattered wildly, "Sister, you are really good. If it weren't for your good weaving of this fishing net, we might not be able to get these."

She looked in the river again, there were still a lot of mussels, and she picked up a lot more.

This river clam is a good thing, whether it is stir-fried or made into soup, it tastes good, and she is a little greedy.

Xu Jiayin saw her younger sister picking up everything in the basin, she wanted to stop her, but she was too embarrassed to speak up.

She resisted not making a sound, just thought it was a little girl who had a big sex, felt curious, and wanted to take it back to play, so she didn't take it seriously.

Xu Jianing fished for river prawns and mussels at the same time. He was extremely busy, and the more he fished, the better he got.In her eyes, these things are delicacies.

It wasn't until the pots and buckets were full that she reluctantly left with her elder sister.

Fortunately, everyone at home was busy and no one noticed them.

The two sisters quickly slipped into the kitchen.

Xu Jiayin asked in a low voice, "Ning'er, what should I do with these things?"

"You wait, I'll make something delicious for you guys to try later, but not right now. I'm afraid that people will talk too much, so let's be more cautious. I guess Dad will let Lizheng and the others have dinner at home, let's get ready !"

Sure enough, not long after, Xu's father shouted outside, telling them to start preparing meals.

But when he heard that they were going to stay at home for dinner, Li Zheng didn't agree at all, and left quickly with his sons.

Xu's father sighed helplessly. He understood what Lizheng meant, and was worried that their family didn't have much food. The whole family came to eat, and they were young and strong men, so they couldn't eat up their family all at once. up.

In desperation, Xu's father felt sad again. Outsiders knew the truth, why couldn't his so-called relatives understand it?

But it doesn't matter anymore.Soon, they will have a true home of their own.
