Nongmen Fu girl group’s daily favorites

Chapter 89 Fishing
  When Xu Fan saw Mrs. Gu, his mood had recovered and he saluted, "Aunt Gu, stay well!"

Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "Young man Fan is here, haven't you congratulated me on being admitted as a scholar?"

Xu Fan looked shy, "I'm just a scholar, I can't be praised by my aunt."

"You are still young, and it is already remarkable that you have passed the examination to become a scholar. You should work harder and strive to go further."

"Well, I will definitely work hard. Resign, kid!"

A trace of pity flashed in Mrs. Gu's eyes. Why wouldn't Jia'er like such a good child, who is knowledgeable, sensible and polite?
  Shen Jia heard Xu Fan's voice in the bedroom and didn't want to stay at home. Although Xu Fan didn't personally say that he liked her, in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, it was better to stay away.

Thinking of the taro pork belly made by Bozhou himself, which was soft and tasty, fragrant but not greasy, and was praised by everyone, Shen Jia wanted to make something he likes to eat again, such as pan-fried fish fillets.

She hasn't eaten fish in Dazhou for several months, so why not go to the river to catch some fish and bring them back, so that she can avoid Xu Fan and don't have to learn the rules. Well, just do it. Shen Jia thought of this and walked out immediately.

Shen Yun and Shen An were playing in the yard. Shen Yun asked curiously: "Sister, where are you going?"

"I'm going to fish."

"Sister, please wait for me." After Shen Yun finished speaking, he ran to the utility room and took out the fishing net. "I'll go with you."

Shen An also ran over and held Shen Jia's hand, "I want to go too."

Shen Jiahan smiled and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Ever since Shen Jia taught them how to swim, they have often thought about swimming in the river.

Shen Yun and Shen Hao cheered loudly, "Oh! Let's go fishing in the river!" But they secretly said in their hearts that they could finally go swimming in the river.

Shen Jia Ni glanced at them and said, "Go and bring your clothes."

"Yes." A cunning light flashed across the eyes of the two of them, and they responded in a sweet voice.

Xu Fan, who was playing chess with Shen Hao, heard their cheers and his eyes flashed.

The mountains carry the water, and the water flows around the mountains.

On both sides of the river, there are forests of green bamboos, lush and green, swaying in the wind, with bamboo shadows whirling, and sunlight shining through the bamboo leaves on the river surface.

The river is about ten meters wide and the water is crystal clear. The deepest part is two meters and the shallowest part is only one meter.

The river was quiet, not a soul in sight.

The weather in Lingnan in September was still so hot that people were sweating profusely. As soon as Shen Yun and Shen An arrived at the river, they let themselves go and jumped into the water with a splash. The two were soon flipping and playing in the water like fish in the river.

Shen Jia spread the fishing net on the river bank under the bamboo roots. The water there is relatively deep and fish generally like to swim there.

Sure enough, after two quarters of an hour, Shen Jia pulled up the fishing net, and there were already more than a dozen fish in it. The largest weighed three kilograms, and the smallest was as big as two fingers.

Shen Jia caught a fish for the first time and got a good harvest. She was so happy that she poured the fish into the barrel and continued to look for another place to cast the net.

Shen Jia found a good place and just cast the net down when she heard Shen An pointing to a place and shouting loudly: "Sister, look, is that hanging on that tree the dog claw beans you mentioned?"

Dog claw beans was once asked by Shen Yun and Shen An when Shen Jia was exhausted, so he changed the subject and asked them what their favorite dish was. Shen Jia mentioned dog claw beans and even described their appearance to them.

Hearing this, Shen Jia tapped her toes and instantly arrived at the place Shen An said.

This place is at a bay in the upper reaches of the river. There is a tall banyan tree on the bank, and the long branches of the banyan tree hang down to the river. Next to the banyan tree, there are creepers wrapping around the banyan tree, with clusters of long green pods hanging from the vines.

It’s really dog ​​claw beans.

Shen An swam over, "Sister, is this the dog claw bean you mentioned?"

"Yes, An'er is really good. My sister will pick some and cook them, soak them, and fry them for you in two days."

"Okay!"

Shen Jia picked more than ten clusters of dog claw beans and strung them on vines and stopped picking them.

Shen An asked curiously: "Sister, there are still many on the tree, why don't you pick them?"

Shen Jia smiled and said: "No more picking, leave these to the villagers! We can eat them when we grow them next year."

"This is ownerless. Can't we eat it ourselves? Why should we leave it to them?" Shen An asked with confusion.

Shen Yun also swam over and looked at Shen Jia with the same confusion.

"Yun'er, An'er, we have no shortage of meat or vegetables at home. We can't eat much even if we pick them all back. Life is not easy for most people in the village, so we leave these for them to pick and make seeds.

Although dog claw beans are not eye-catching, they have tenacious vitality. Regardless of the land, it is drought-resistant and barren-tolerant. Clusters of dog claw beans can be grown just by planting them in the fields in front of the house, behind the house, or in the hillside vegetable garden. This is life-saving food during famine years. "

Shen Yun was thoughtful, and then suddenly realized: "I understand."

Shen An tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I understand too."

"Sure enough, they are my sister's two precious brothers. They are smart enough to show off." Shen Jia praised Shen Yun and Shen An without hesitation.

The two little guys were praised by their sister, and their eyes narrowed with a happy smile. The shy blush on their white and tender faces made them even cuter.

If they weren't still in the water and Shen Jia couldn't reach them with her hands, she would really want to pinch their little faces.

Shen Jia carried the dog claw beans back to the place where the net was cast, pulled up the fishing net, and this time there were only a dozen small fish as big as two fingers in the net, and poured them into the wooden barrel.

Shen Jia looked at the barrel and saw that the fish caught twice combined were already quite a lot.

Shen Jia greeted his two younger brothers who were still enjoying themselves in the river, "Yun'er, An'er, come up quickly, we're going home."

Shen Yun and Shen An obediently swam over and went to a secret place to change out of their wet clothes.

It was already the end of Shenshi, the sun was still dazzling, and the clouds on the horizon were burned red, decorating the entire sky with incomparable splendor.

Shen Jia had gained a lot today, and Shen Jia was in a particularly good mood. She and her two younger brothers walked briskly along the country road, humming a small tune.

They passed by the big banyan tree in the center of the village and saw Yang Dazhuang and Uncle Qi chatting. The three of them came forward to say hello enthusiastically: "Hello, Uncle Qi! Hello Uncle Yang!"

"Hey! Hey, Xiaojia, are you holding the pods hanging on the Shanghe banyan tree? This thing is poisonous and inedible. Xiaojia throw it away quickly." When Yang Dazhuang saw the dog claw beans in Shen Jia's hand, His expression suddenly changed.

The seventh uncle also stepped forward and took a closer look. He recognized that it was something poisoned by someone in the village before. He said seriously: "Yes, this thing is really inedible. In the past, someone picked it back and cooked it. Later, that person First he suffered from nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, and later he fell into a coma. Fortunately, his family gave him Yoneden Gong, which saved his life."

"Xiaojia, we really didn't lie to you. This thing is poisonous and should not be eaten." Yang Dazhuang scratched his head and ears anxiously.
