Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 17
The silver carp seemed to be resting, immersed in the aquatic plants without moving.Around it, a few small fish swim and play back and forth.Qin Yuyao approached slowly, and when there was still a distance of one meter left, the fish finally felt startled and tried to escape by sliding its fins.However, it was too late, Qin Yuyao had already raised the bamboo pole and inserted it quickly and accurately!
Crash!With one hit, Qin Yuyao quickly raised the bamboo pole in her hand.On the head of the bamboo pole, a silver carp about one foot long struggled unwillingly, the more it struggled, the deeper it got stabbed.Qin Yuyao curled the corners of her lips, turned and walked towards the shore.

The white cloth socks had already been soaked by the river water, stepped on the muddy ground, and soon became stained with dirt, and could no longer see their true colors.However, Qin Yuyao didn't care at all, holding the silver carp in one hand, and walked briskly towards the house.

Bao'er had already woken up, opened her eyes and saw Qin Yuyao, she was sitting on the bed crying loudly.

As soon as Qin Yuyao stepped into the yard, she heard Bao'er crying, thinking something happened, she just threw the fish in the basin, and strode into the house: "Bao'er?"

"Mother!" Hearing Qin Yuyao's voice, Bao'er stopped crying immediately, and looked towards the door through her hazy eyes.After seeing his mother's figure clearly, he whimpered and said, "Bao'er thought mother didn't want Bao'er anymore." While speaking, she pursed her mouth, waiting for Qin Yuyao to coax her.Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, Qin Yuyao slowly walked to the bed, her face was stern, and she couldn't help but stop whimpering in a daze.

Qin Yuyao stood in front of the bed with a stern expression on her face, not even a hint of a smile in those beautiful eyes.Bao'er moved a little uneasily, stretched out her hand to pull the corner of her clothes, and called pitifully: "Mother?"

Qin Yuyao didn't slap him away, but asked coldly, "Why are you crying?"

"Bao'er, Bao'er is afraid." Bao'er lowered her head and whispered while rubbing the corner of her clothes.

"A man doesn't shed tears lightly! As a manly man, be careful and resolute, and don't mess up when things happen!" Qin Yuyao said sternly.

Now that she has taken Qin's hand and become Bao'er's mother, Qin Yuyao naturally takes on the responsibility of raising Bao'er.Bao'er was brought up by Qin's family, and her temperament followed Qin's kindness and softness, and shed tears at every turn. At this time, she was still young, and if she was educated properly, she could still get over it.

Bao'er trembled when she was scolded by Qin Yuyao's stern voice, feeling a little wronged in her heart.Obviously my mother was not like this before, my mother never reprimanded him.He lowered his head and nodded lightly: "Bao'er knows."

"How long have you been awake?" Qin Yuyao no longer asked harshly, but changed to a calm tone.

"Bao'er just woke up." Bao'er raised her head and said timidly, "Bao'er called mother many times, but mother didn't answer Bao'er, that's why Bao'er cried."

"Now that you're awake, why don't you get out of bed and look for me? Maybe I have something to do and I can't get away, so I didn't answer you? Or maybe I went out temporarily and I'm not at home? You don't go out to have a look, ask questions, just sit on the bed and cry , what's the use?" Qin Yuyao said seriously.

"Bao'er knows." Twitching a few times, Bao'er raised his head, admiringly and flatteringly said: "Mother is so smart, why didn't Bao'er think of it?"

Qin Yuyao touched his little face and knew that he had listened, so she didn't reprimand him again: "Get up, mother caught a fish, and I will cook fish soup for you later."

"Ah! Mother is so powerful!" When Bao'er watched Qin Yuyao take down the big silver carp from the bamboo pole, he looked at Qin Yuyao with eyes full of admiration. He never knew that mother was so powerful!No, Niangqin was very powerful in the morning, beating off several men at once!

Hey, why did Niangqin become so powerful all of a sudden?Bao'er couldn't figure it out in her little head, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She only knew that her mother had become powerful, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth.

Qin Yuyao cleaned the fish, then skillfully scraped the scales and cut open the belly with a kitchen knife, taking out the gills and internal organs of the fish.After tidying up, he put the fish into the basin, and was about to marinate it, when he suddenly remembered that this is not the 21st century, not to mention the lack of many ingredients, even if there were, Qin couldn't afford it.I feel a little regretful, such a plump fish, can it only be boiled in clear water to make fish soup?

Turning his head to look at Bao'er, who was drooling long ago, standing by the stove, he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart.

"Mother, where are we going?" Bao'er looked at the basket in Qin Yuyao's hands, and pouted, "Mother, are you going to give something to grandma again?"

For Sun, Bao'er has a lot of resentment in her heart.Although he is small, he can see many things, for example, his mother clearly earned money, but it was taken away by Mrs. Sun.For example, my mother obviously harvested a lot of fruits and vegetables, but he couldn't eat a single bite.Mother caught a fish today, and she wants to send it to that nasty old woman, why don't you give it to him?
Looking down to see the resentment on Bao'er's face, Qin Yuyao couldn't help but smile, touched his head and said, "Why? Bao'er hasn't eaten yet, why would mother send it to someone else?"

"That mother..."

"We don't have any condiments at home, so it won't taste good. Mother will take you to your aunt's house, borrow their ingredients, and let's eat at his house." Qin Yuyao explained.

Bao'er understood, remembering that he ate a lot of delicious food at his aunt's house at noon, and Brother Youzhi also played with him for a long time, so he couldn't help but nodded.Giving brother Youzhi some fish, even if he was willing, Qin Yuyao was urged: "Mother, let's go quickly."

When Qin Yuyao brought Bao'er to the door of Li's house, the sun had just set.Mrs. Li and others from Xiatian have not yet returned, and only Mrs. Zhao's daughter is left at home. This year, Liu Yujie, because she is about to get married, stays at home to embroider the dowry.There is also Li's youngest daughter, Liu Xiaomei, who is seven years old this year, carrying firewood to the kitchen.

"Brother Youzhi? Brother Youzhi?" Bao'er let go of Qin Yuyao's hand as soon as she entered the door, and started looking for Liu Youzhi.

Liu Youzhi is already an 11-year-old boy. Naturally, he followed the adults to work in the fields during the busy farming season.Just as Qin Yuyao was about to tell him to stop shouting, Liu Xiaomei suddenly turned her head, glared at Bao'er with beautiful Xingren eyes and said, "Why are you here again? Are you not full from my food?"

Liu Xiaomei was very unhappy. Originally, her family loved her the most and left her a lot of melons and fruits.But when I came back from the field today, I found that half of the melons and fruits in the house were missing, and the rest were small and not ripe enough.Seeing the two of them at this time, she was really angry. After yelling at Bao'er, she said to Qin Yuyao: "I heard that you have severed ties with Second Mistress? Now that no one is searching for you, you can cook and eat yourself. What are you doing at our house again? Are you going to come to our house to eat and drink like Second Grandma?"

The little girl is not very old, but she has a strong temper.Especially this cleverness, Qin Yuyao likes it very much.Passing the basket in his hand forward, he said, "We did come to eat, but we didn't just eat and drink. We brought the ingredients."

Liu Xiaomei glanced into the basket, and said disdainfully, "What kind of dead fish and stinky fish, can you eat it? I'm ashamed to bring it to our house. If you dare to eat it, we don't dare to eat it!"
