Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

After walking a few steps, everyone was attracted by the gourd seller again.

Father Li looked at the emerald green gourd: "Brother, how do you sell this gourd?"

"Big brother, which one do you like?"

Father Li pointed to the biggest one: "That's it."

"Big brother, you have good eyesight."

Li Haijun didn't want to complain, could this be Father Li's good eyesight?

Obviously this one is the biggest and the best looking.

"five yuan!"

When Father Li heard the price, he couldn't help taking a breath and grinning.

"Brother, your price is not cheap."

"Big brother, there are cheaper ones!" The old man pointed to the one that was a little smaller than this one: "You can take this three yuan."

But Father Li took a fancy to the biggest one.

Little Xueer in Li Haijun's arms couldn't help asking, "Dad, why did Grandpa buy a gourd?"

Li Haijun explained with his own understanding: "The homonym of Fu Lu Shou is very close to gourd..."

"There is also one of the gourd mascots. People often hang it at the door to avoid evil spirits and attract treasures. From centenarians to children, everyone loves it!"

Little Xueer blinked her big eyes, slid down from him, squatted in front of the stall and picked out a small gourd that was only the size of Yonger's fist.

"Dad, I want this."

Xiao Shengli saw that his sister had chosen all, and squatted on the ground: "Dad, I want this."

Li'er is the younger sister, and she chose one after her older sister and older brother.

Li Haijun: "Uncle, we bought it for five yuan, and these three small gourds will be a lottery."

The old man was very happy, and gave away a few small gourds.

"Sure, take it if the child likes it."

Li Haijun paid the money, and Li's father took the gourd and looked around in satisfaction.

The women bought back baskets and brooms at the stall next door, all of which are indispensable tools in life.

After the women had finished buying, everyone set off again. Father Li asked when he saw the dry tobacco seller.

"How to sell?"

"Two yuan a catty!"

The price is not expensive, and the tobacco leaves are not broken. Father Li is tempted.

Li Haijun persuaded: "Dad, don't think about it, there are a lot of women and children in the house, your dry tobacco is too smoky, you, just smoke rolls."

Father Li smiled: "I know, I know."

"I just remembered that in the past, I was reluctant to buy dry tobacco that cost two yuan a catty, and I always sold the cheapest..."

Father Li recalled the past.

Everyone stopped again when they saw someone selling hand-woven baskets.

Ding Qiunan: "Sister, buy two baskets, the ones at home are old."

Six girls: "Well, it's time to buy two."

Fifty cents for two new baskets.

And then there's the barber, where people just sit on a stool and line up to have their heads shaved.

Then I walked into the market and saw some people selling hand-knitted goods.

This stall has a lot of things, so everyone stopped again.

There are hand-woven mats, shades, baskets, dustpans, baskets, fences, sieves, hemp baskets...

Six girls looked at the kang mat: "How do you sell this?"

"Two dollars a piece."

They didn't bring mats when they came back this time, so they just bought a few.

Because Liu Yatou bought a lot, she started to bargain with people.

"Can I buy two for a lower price?"

"No."

"Yo, there's no bargaining yet."

Liuya said: "How many can I buy for a cheaper price?"

"Buy five and I'll give you one."

Mother Ding: "You are not a real businessman."

"How about this, we buy eight kang seats, and you give two."

The stall owner was reluctant, and Liu Yatou thought it was not expensive.

Mother Ding pulled him and whispered, "Counting Xiao Shengnan, we just need ten kang seats."

"It's a big deal, let's not buy it, there must be some for sale inside."

Mother Ding said this sentence very loudly, and the stall owner heard it.

"That's right, I sold it to you."

Li Haijun couldn't hold the child anymore, so he carried the rolled-up kang mat on his shoulders.

Then I bought two dustpans and a sieve.

The sieve is what Xiao Sheng wants.

Li Haijun asked, "What do you want a sieve for?"

Little Victory: "I sift the sand!"

Well, I can play.

Seeing a hair rope, needless to say, the children can use it, so they immediately put up braids for the two girls.

Li Haijun also bought maltose for the children.

"What smells delicious?"

Li Haijun: "Someone sells sesame oil."

A group of people walked over and looked at the sesame oil in the drip bottle.

Li Haijun explained: "This is homemade sesame oil."

There is sesame oil, which is naturally made of sesame paste, and Li Haijun didn't let it go.

Although the price is a bit more expensive, there is no ticket required.

Ten or twenty years later, there were still oil mills in the countryside, but now they are all state-owned.

Walking and walking, it is all about eating and drinking.

Li Haijun bought some dried ginger and prepared to grind it into ginger powder.

When I met a seller of roasted sweet potatoes, I also bought them for the children to pad their stomachs.

Hawthorn, buy it back and cook canned with rock sugar.

Yellow apricot, fleshy, apricot core is still small.

Li Haijun bought chestnuts in bags and made sugar-fried chestnuts when he went back.

Gradually, there were more and more things, and Father Li carried a lot on his body.

Seeing a seller selling sacks for [-] cents a piece, Li Haijun bought a few sacks and put all the scattered things in them, making it easy to carry them.

The children were very excited to see some selling hares and pheasants at last.

Li Haijun is also satisfied, but they want to raise it, and what Li Haijun wants is to go back and eat it.

The vegetable basket comes in handy, eggs, duck eggs, buy a lot.

By the way, buy a few chickens, ducks and geese.

It was already afternoon by the time I walked out of the market with the loot.

It is impossible for everyone to carry it back all the time. When they meet a driver, they will spend money to hire a car. Finally, everyone does not have to go back on their legs.

Passing by the fields, many children were playing, Xiao Shengli wanted to go down and play with others.

But he is so tired.

Back at the old house, Li Haijun took the initiative to cook.

Six girls took out the kang mats and spread them out for everyone.

Li Haijun slaughtered a rabbit and a pheasant, and stewed them together to save trouble.

The rice was steamed in an iron pan.

While eating, he found that everyone from adults to children fell on the kang, breathing evenly.

Everyone woke up.

"Wake up, it's time to eat."

"Sleep after eating."

Father Li drank two or two drinks to relieve his fatigue.

Everyone drank more or less.

It's just that when Xiao Xueer went to find her little rabbit, she cried.

Li Haijun coaxed her so much, he promised her to catch one from the mountain, and then he coaxed the little ancestor well.

After dinner, the men live in the west room, and the women live in the east room, because the stove is used for cooking, and the kang in the east room is hot.

But it's not too cold to live in the east room in this summer.

On the second day, the little ones all complained of leg pain.

The original plan to go up the mountain was cancelled, and Li Haijun could only take everyone to go fishing.

Several sacks he bought were cut and threaded on sticks to make simple bath nets.

Use an embroidery needle for sewing clothes to bend, tie a rope, and tie the other side to a bamboo pole, and a simple fishing pole is also made.

The family took the small bench and headed towards the wild river.

When they got to the place, Li Haijun used a stick to pull in the grass on the bank and under the big tree.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Li Haijun patiently explained: "This is called scaring the snake..."

Xiao Xueer was a little scared: "Dad, can't we just sit in a place without grass?"

Li Haijun: "Aren't you afraid of the sun?"

Xiao Xueer thought for a while, fearing that there might be snakes here, so she nodded decisively: "Not afraid."

Hehe, Li Haijun chuckled and kissed the girl's little cheek.

Then he rolled up his trousers, and stretched out the simple bathing net he made in the wild river, forming a fan shape to catch the fish going down the river.

After finishing the work, dig earthworms on the bank with a shovel, hang them on the fishhook, shake them dry, and wait for the action to be completed in one go.

Waiting for the fish to bite.

Li Jinxin also became playful.

"Brother, I'll take them to catch crayfish."

Li Haijun: "Be careful, think safe."

He has a big heart, but Liu Yatou and Ding Qiunan can't do it, so they still follow behind them.

Xiaoxueer looked at her aunt fishing for shrimp with a branch, and asked suspiciously, "Auntie, can you do this?"

Li Jinxin: "Don't worry, my aunt did this when I was young."

Sure enough, the black crayfish was caught soon.

Several children squatted in front of the black crawfish, wanting to reach out and touch it, but they dared not.

In the end, the black crayfish was still placed in the back basket.

Li Jinxin: "Little Xue'er, Shengli, Li'er, let's go, I'll take you there, there are river crabs over there."

Li Jinxin brought his nephew and niece to a muddy land.

There are many holes in the mud.

The sharp-eyed children saw the small river crab the size of a baby's fist, and exclaimed one by one: "Auntie, Auntie..."

"Look, crab, little crab."

They often eat these things, so they naturally recognize them.

When they shouted, the crabs were so frightened that they went back into the hole again.

Xiao Shengli remembered that he was about to go down and grab him, but his neck was grabbed.

Liu Yatou said with a dark face, "What do you want to do?"

Xiao Shengli said anxiously: "Mom, you let go of me quickly, the crabs are all gone."

Six girls: "You can't go down."

Looking at his disobedient son, he said coldly, "You want to be beaten, right?"

Xiao Shengli is now honest. Although his mother is not as strict as his father, it is scary to get angry.

Li Jinxin rubbed the steamed buns on the branches, and the scum of the steamed buns hung on the branches.

"Don't worry, see my aunt give you crabs. Let's eat river crabs tonight."

You have to be patient when fishing for crabs. The first crab caught the branch with its pliers. Li Jinxin was too anxious and the crab fell down.

The little ones were so startled that they wanted to breathe out, but they covered their mouths with their little hands.

Because they remembered the thing that scared the little crab away.

Li Jinxin said embarrassingly: "This time it doesn't count, my aunt continues to fish."

Fortunately, soon, she maintained her dignity as an aunt.

A small crab was caught, although this one was a bit small, only the size of two coins.

But the children still didn't dare to hold it with their hands, but they learned to be smart, and they also looked for branches, and used the branches to pull the lobsters and small crabs in the baskets on their backs.

Afterwards, with a playful spirit, he also found a long branch and dropped it with his aunt.

It's just that when the river crab took the bait, they didn't dare to move, it was all done by their mother.

They had a great time, but they made the two mothers tired.

Li Haijun handed the fishing rod to Father Li, and he went to the river to collect the net. There were more than twenty finger-thick, long and short willow root fish, and two loaches.

Li Haijun packed it in a back basket and sat the back basket in the water on the bank to prevent the fish from dying.

Continue to get off the net.

Then walk over to see the kids.

"It's a good game, have you dropped so much?"

Xiao Shengli was a little afraid of him, and he was playing on his head, so he didn't come over.

Xiao Xueer and Lier surrounded him: "Father, look, we caught this with my aunt."

Li Haijun kissed him alone, and praised: "Amazing."

"Dad will steam crabs for you tonight."

At noon, everyone sat under the shady tree trunk and began to eat lunch.

Father Li: "There are not too many fish today."

Li Haijun: "A few carp, crucian carp can only be stewed with small miscellaneous fish."

Li Haijun reassured: "There's no rush, isn't there still an afternoon left?"

Father Li: "Yes, I will catch two big fish in the afternoon, and I will cook them for my grandson in the evening. '

Xiao Xueer curled her lips: "Grandpa is biased."

"Haha!" Father Li laughed and said, "How does the eldest granddaughter want to eat?"

Xiao Xueer: "I want to eat the sweet and sour fish made by Papa."

Li Haijun: "Okay, Papa will cook sweet and sour fish for Xiao Xueer tonight."

"How about you, Lier?"

Lier thought for a while: "Then Lier will eat steamed food."

Everyone was eating here, but the fishing rod was pulled away over there.

After Li Haijun saw it, he immediately ran into the water and grabbed the fishing rod.

When the fish was tired, he finished the shot, and a big-bellied carp appeared in front of him.

"Huo, good guy."

"It must weigh three or four catties."

Li Haijun smiled and said, "I didn't expect that!"

It was quite unexpected.

After lunch, continue in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, it seems that the transfer has begun.

One big fish after another.

At three o'clock, everyone started to return home.

I didn't feel anything when I was playing, but once I stopped, the children shouted tired one by one, not only the children were tired, but the adults were also very tired.

Li Haijun soaked the small crabs and lobsters in clean water with a bucket.

Then start to make the staple food, stewed fish.

When everything was done here, he sat on the threshold, took a brush, and began to clean up the crabs and lobsters.

The small crabs are generally steamed at the end, usually wrapped in starch, and fried in a pan.

The crayfish is stir-fried with thirteen spices and other seasonings, and the chili sauce and other seasonings are generally reserved for stir-fry.

This is for my father and myself to drink.

People in the past didn't eat shrimp and crabs in the river, thinking that these things eat carrion, which is unclean and unlucky.

But during the three-year hard period, everyone ate everything.

Li Haijun also fulfilled the child's wish, Xiaoyu made stewed fish in sauce.

The big fish was braised and steamed.

The children ate very happily. This was the first time they tried to eat the fruits of their own labor.

Every little face is filled with happy smiles, so innocent, innocent and pure.

Li Haijun couldn't help sighing: "It's a good time to be carefree."

Liu Yatou: "Yes, that's why you calm them down?"

Li Haijun: "As long as they don't delay their studies, I will satisfy them otherwise."

"After all, their carefree childhood didn't take long."

Little Victory: 'Dad, shall we still go fishing tomorrow? '

"Or go to the tree to dig out the eggs?"

Li Haijun joked: "Can you climb a tree?"

Xiao Shengli was stunned for a moment, and said distressedly, "I can't."

"But Dad, you can!"

Li Haijun shook his head: "Go dig some wild vegetables tomorrow, and pick some wild fruits by the way."

"Tomorrow, let's steam steamed buns with wild vegetables and pick some wild fruits to ferment to make wine."

Father Li: "Don't follow Song Xue tomorrow. It's not easy to go up the mountain. You should take care of the children at home."

Liu Yatou really wanted to play along: "Why don't I carry the child on my back."

Ding's mother: "I'm old, I'll take care of the house, I'll take care of the children, you go."

Sixth Girl: "Thank you, Auntie."

Li Haijun looked at all this with a smile, and became more and more like a family. Liu Yatou also slowly accepted the Ding family from her heart, and the relationship became better and better.
