A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 440 Unlimited sea fish

In the past two days, Mother Li's eyelids had been twitching non-stop.

People say that there must be signs before something big happens.

She couldn't help but wonder if something was going to happen.

This feeling of something vaguely happening, but not knowing what will happen, is really scary.

She could only tell the children over and over again that they must pay more attention these days.

"Don't be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of what happens. It's always good to be careful." Mother Li reminded her eldest son once again when she saw her eldest son putting away bowls and getting ready to leave.

Mother Li had no complaints about her eldest son having to work overtime on Sundays.

Even though she didn't want her son to go out at this time.

She thought that it was safer to stay at home than to go out.

Mother Li ignored his words.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted about their daily routine while eating breakfast:
"This morning, there was no limit to the amount of marine fish in the market, and there were quite a lot of varieties. I bought a lot of them at once. At noon, I picked up the fresh ones and steamed them for Xiao Rui to eat. In the evening, we changed the course and had braised fish. of."

Seeing her daughter-in-law enjoying the delicious porridge with salted egg yolk, Mother Li looked pleased.

It wasn't until she lost sight of her lover that she turned back to the dining table and continued eating breakfast.

Li Xiang told her several times, one for each person, everyone has their own food, and there is no shortage of these at home.

After rejecting many things several times, and seeing that she couldn't refuse, I could only accept it with peace of mind. At worst, I could find ways to make amends for my mother-in-law elsewhere.

Li Xiang pondered for a moment, but in the end he didn't leave any definite words for his wife.

When Qiu Fanghua first got married, she was a little embarrassed to take advantage of her mother-in-law's kindness.

"When the time comes, just use your chopsticks. You don't have to wait for me. I'll do my best to get back as soon as I can. If I can't get back, I'll solve it at work." After Li wanted to finish, he took his briefcase and went to push the cart in the yard.

Since I am scheduled to work overtime on Sunday, I will probably still have to delay for a while in the evening.

At the Li family's dinner table, there has always been no rule about eating and sleeping.

"It's true, our family didn't buy much. I saw that several stores here bought more than ten kilograms at a time. They are preparing to use them to make pickled goods." Mother Li thought of the neighbor's vegetable basket. Tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk.

"There's no limit, that's really good. In previous years, if you wanted to eat sea fish, you had to do it during the New Year, and a family could only buy one." Qiu Fanghua replied with a smile.

I don’t know where it is, but there has been a bumper fish harvest recently. Since the 20th, tons of fish have been shipped to BJ.

"Then you go early and come back early. If you have nothing to do, don't stay there tonight. We will wait for you to come back and have dinner together." Qiu Fanghua stood up and straightened his collar.

Now that I have given birth to children, my skin is thicker.

It is now the end of July. Although the weather is nice, it is not a good time to pick up salty food.

Qiu Fanghua leaned against the door and told him to ride slower on the road, then saw him carrying his bicycle across the threshold of the courtyard.

Mother Li picked up the salted duck eggs cut into slices, picked the salted egg yolk into her daughter-in-law's porridge bowl, and ate the salted egg white herself.

"I also feel that something is wrong. The people in this class are also restless." Li Xiang picked up the briefcase and sighed to his mother and wife.

The remote control color TV has reached the final sprint stage, and everyone in the project team wants to work harder to complete it.

The salty goods are placed outside, not to mention attracting flies.

Qiu Fanghua immediately understood what her mother-in-law meant. When she handed her the focus circle, she said: "This is just passing by. You can't miss it. No one knows if there will be more behind. Instead of guessing this possibility, it is better to seize it." off the shelf."

The Li family doesn't have to worry about food and drink, but there are many people who worry about food and drink.

Whether the house is good to live in or not is not necessarily related to having enough food at this time. Those who earn a salary of hundreds of dollars are indeed high-income earners.

But we also need to look at how many people there are in the family and how many of them are working and getting paid.

A situation like Li Xiangjia's where all adults have jobs is rare not only in BJ City, but also in the whole country.

"That's right. If it had been more than ten years ago, I would have bought it." Mother Li said honestly.

From a long time ago, the people of BJ prefer to eat sea fish than river fish.

And until now, if the vegetable market is selling at the same time, the sea fish must be emptied first.

The prices on both sides are almost the same, but the main reason here is the evil caused by the cannibalistic old society.

Before the liberation, there were so many dead people that there were not enough pits to bury them. To save trouble, many people just dumped the corpses in major rivers and ignored them.

During that period, people looked skinny, but the fish in the river were fat and strong.

But no one would reach out to that river fish unless absolutely necessary.

This situation lasted until the 1950s and was not broken until three years of difficult times.

One of the reasons was that they were too hungry, and so many years had passed since then. Everyone thought that even those who grew up eating dead human flesh should have finished digesting it.

It was after this move that the people in the city slowly let go of their grudge against the river fish.

It was also at that time that the third uncle in the courtyard began to catch fish to supplement the family income.

However, Mother Li only thought about these past events in her heart and did not want to tell her daughter-in-law about them.

Although young people have heard about many past events, they don't care about them that much. No one mentions them, and they can't relate them to each other.

No, Qiu Fanghua not only didn't think about it, but also had another small thought.

"Mom, doesn't my eldest sister love seafood the most? If we buy too much, we can send some to her."

After listening to this, Mother Li waved the chopsticks in her hands and said wisely:

"She doesn't need us to give it to her. Think about it, it's all flowing into the people's vegetable market, and the families of those who are leaders can't afford it."

Does Qiu Fanghua really not know this truth?

Her mother-in-law is the kind of leader that Mother Li calls.

She used to be a vested interest in the upper-level material distribution rules. If she didn't know it, no one would.

But why did Qiu Fanghua bring up this issue with Mother Li?

I have to say that this is the little wisdom of being a daughter-in-law.

Li's mother didn't have to give it away, and her eldest sister didn't have to give it away, but as a daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but worry about it.

Whether the gift is successful or not, it has no impact on Qiu Fanghua.

But hearing her words made Mother Li feel very relieved.

When the eldest sister returns to her parents' home one day, Mother Li will tell the eldest sister how much she cares about her sister-in-law, and the eldest sister will only feel happy.

Since a beautiful word can make several parties happy.

Qiu Fanghua, the daughter-in-law, why didn't you say it?
