The fierce peasant wife came to make a fortune

Chapter 16: Eating Fish

"Ah—" When Miao Dafu saw several big fish in the bucket, he called out in disbelief: "Swallow, there are still such big fish to catch in this river?"

Miao Xiaoyan smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother, I didn't fish this in the river. I found a good place, and there are a lot of fish here!" Everyone in the village knows whether there are big fish in the river, so of course she can't say It was fished in the river, otherwise Miao Dafu would be suspicious.

"Really?" Miao Dafu was surprised and delighted.

"Yes, brother, but this matter must not be known to others." Miao Xiaoyan reminded again.

　"Then brother will go with you next time, or you will be tired again." Miao Dafu said distressedly.

"Brother, I can't take you to this place, because it's too conspicuous for two people to go, if someone else finds out about this place, is it our turn to catch this fish?" Miao Xiaoyan blushed and was not out of breath. Huyou said, on the way back, she thought of an excuse, how to make Miao Dafu not be suspicious.

"There won't be any danger in that place, right?" Miao Dafu thought for a while, and felt that what the second sister said made sense. If too many people knew about this place, the fish would definitely be caught, but he still felt a little uneasy. Don't worry, there are only a few brothers and sisters left in the family, and Miao Dafu doesn't want anyone to have another accident.

"Brother, don't worry, that place is very safe!" Miao Xiaoyan swore to him.

"Okay, then you have to be careful, you know?" Miao Dafu confessed.

"Well, brother, I know, let's take the fish in first, it's not good for others to see." Miao Xiaoyan looked around. In this poor mountain valley, few families can see the whole fish on the dining table. She worried that others would be jealous when they saw their family catch so many fish.

"Okay!" Miao Dafu also felt that he couldn't talk for too long outside the courtyard.

"Wow - what a big fish!" Xiaoque and Xiaobao also ran out of the house when they heard that their eldest brother and second sister had returned, and went into the kitchen with Miao Dafu and Miao Xiaoyan.

"Hush, keep your voice down, don't let others know." Miao Xiaoyan silenced her younger siblings.

Xiaoque and Xiaobao immediately covered their mouths, staring at Miao Xiaoyan with dark eyes.

Miao Xiaoyan smiled and whispered, "Second Sister will make fish soup for you at noon, okay?"

"Okay!" The two bad guys squinted and smiled.

"Second Sister, I'll help you light the fire." Xiao Que walked to the stove, picked up the torch, wiped it and lit the fire.

Miao Xiaoyan couldn't help but blush, the first time she cooked sweet potatoes, she struggled for a long time and failed to turn on the fire, and finally lit the fire based on the original owner's memory.

Miao Xiaoyan boiled one fish, and the remaining three were still alive, and Miao Dafu put them into the water tank to raise them.

"Brother, let's eat grilled fish tonight, okay?" Miao Xiaoyan asked Miao Dafu while drinking fish soup.

Xiao Que and Xiao Bao also put down the action of eating fish, and looked at Miao Dafu expectantly with their eyes. The difference between this big fish and that small fish is really big. I drank the fish soup yesterday and only felt a fishy smell, but today the fish is really delicious. , It would be great if I could eat such delicious fish every meal, Xiao Que and Xiao Bao were looking forward to it in their hearts.

"Swallow, I think we should eat sweet potatoes at night. Take the remaining fish to the market tomorrow to see if anyone wants them. Let's buy some rice for some money."

"Brother, there are a lot of fish here. I'll catch a few more tomorrow, and then I'll sell them in the town." Miao Xiaoyan said.
