Rebirth of the Pastoral Wife

Chapter 86 Preparations before the Chinese New Year (4)
In the early years, I was able to raise fish in the paddy fields thanks to the advice of an old official who resigned and returned to the mountain village. The official specialized in this kind of agriculture and was very proficient.

It's a pity that the official didn't give more guidance, presumably he was a dismissed official!I have no energy.

Seeing that the two large wooden buckets she brought were full of fish, Bao Niang actually had beads of sweat on her forehead, and wiped it vigorously, "Mother, look, I'm still sweating, it's really strange!"

"Hehe, it means that you are sweating because you are working, but Bao'er is tired? Take a rest when you are tired!"

"Not tired, it's not heavy work!" Bao Niang smiled and reaped the joy.

Mrs. Song smiled naturally when she heard the words, and her wrinkled face was full of satisfaction, "I remember when you were a child, you liked to pester your father the most, took you to play in the paddy field, and every time you came home at noon, you used a small wooden bucket to catch a few fish At that time, my family was poor and there was no oil, so I gave you a kang in a pot, and the dried fish was crispy and crispy, and you liked it the most..."

As if recalling something beautiful, Song put down the net bag in her hand, looked into the distance, and tried hard to remember.

However, after he finished speaking, he shook his head, "I'm still old, I can't remember some things, and the only thing left in my mind is your smiling face..."

Listening to Song's profound and long words, Baoniang's nose became sore and her eyes became astringent.

Deliberately pouted, "Mom remembers me when I was a child!"

Listening to what they said, Father Liu looked back, and became happy in his heart.

Seeing that the barrels were almost ready, Father Liu came out of the paddy field.

I didn't raise many fish in total, and it seemed that I caught two large wooden barrels at once, which meant about fifty or sixty catties.

When she got home, Mrs. Song began to pack the fish she had caught. Bao Niang looked at her mother's trembling hands and walked over, "Mother, let me do it. I can do it faster with my hands and feet. Besides, this well The water in it is not cold, but warm..."

Mrs. Song was really powerless, her hand holding the scissors was trembling honestly, so she simply handed it over to Bao Niang, and she went to do other things.

A large wooden barrel was placed by the well, and more than half of it was poured out and placed in a wooden basin, which was filled with water. The fish were swimming around in the basin. Bao Niang grabbed one neatly, first cut off the gills of the fish, and then opened its belly The method of extracting inner hidden is exquisite and fast, and a lot can be obtained within a short time.

She didn't know how to do it at first, but if she didn't do it, who would do it, besides, practice makes perfect, and she will get up faster after doing it.

Until noon, when Mrs. Song was cooking, Baoniang had time to rest for a while.

There are so many fish in the house, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Liu want to eat fresh fish. Wouldn't it be delicious to cook some fish soup to go with it?

After killing most of the fish at noon, Baoniang's hands were a little weak, so she had to rest idle, and she would kill again when she regained her strength!
Mrs. Song asked Baoniang to go back to her room and lie down, and she came to make lunch.

Bao Niang returned to the room, threw her body upright and fell on the mattress, then rolled over, lying on the quilt, buried her face in the quilt, and sighed, how tired...

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly turned into the space.

After entering the space, I drank some tea, took off my shoes and socks and soaked my feet in the pool of Acacia for a while.

I wanted to take a good bath, but since it was broad daylight, she didn't dare to stay longer, so just wash her feet and forget it!

It feels so good to feel a burst of satisfaction as soon as I touch my toes in the pool water!
Warm and silky touch.

As soon as she felt drowsy, there was a shout from Mrs. Song, and Bao Niang rushed out in a clever way.

Immediately responded, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Freshly fried crispy dried fish, come and taste it..."

It turned out to be eating dried fish. Bao Niang pulled up her clothes, walked to the kitchen, sat down by the stove, reached out to add firewood to the stove, picked up the dried fish that Mrs. Song had found and put in the basket, and was so excited. eat up.

Mrs. Song, who was adding water to the pot by the stove, smiled and added more than a dozen dried fish to the pot.

The freshly fried dried fish is delicious, but the stewed fish is also delicious and fragrant.

"Mom, we've done so much, do you want some from the elder brother and second brother..."

After eating three dried fish in a row, her stomach was already a little full. Bao Niang licked the residue at the corner of her mouth and raised her head to ask.

"Hey, give it away, give it away, although your second sister-in-law is a bit of a mess, but the children in the family are also good, but your sister-in-law's family has something to do, so you don't go, I will send it off..."

"What's the matter? What happened to my sister-in-law's house? Why don't I know?" Bao Niang looked at Mrs. Song with puzzled eyes.

After a pause, the Song family said, "Isn't it Chunmei? It's been a while since I married Zhao's family, and my stomach has not been showing. Zhao Kuai's mother kept saying that Mei Zi had a problem, so she wanted to find a maid to wait on Zhao. As soon as Chunmei heard this, she ran back crying and crying. She is at your sister-in-law's house. She has lived here for half a month. That was the time we rushed back because of this..."

"Catcher Zhao, I married Meizi sincerely at the beginning, but it took a long time to become like this. What about men, hey..."

Having said that, Bao Niang also understands that a man must prefer his own mother between his wife and mother.

There is also a surprise, that is, the man loves his wife very much.

However, it is really hard to find such a good son in the world!
"Men still see their mothers as close. We don't say anything about this. It's the mother of Zhao Kuai who even said that if she doesn't accept a concubine, she will ask Meizi to go back to her mother's house to get money to see a doctor. How can Meizi be willing? She said stubbornly. I'm not sick, it's your son who is sick, that's why Zhao Kuai slapped his mother on the cheek, and when he came back, his whole face was swollen..."

Bao Niang was also surprised when she heard this, her Meizi is really a foolish and bold person, she said in front of her mother that her son has a physical problem, she must be out of her mind!

However, she still likes Meizi's straightforwardness.

"How is it now? Did Meizi say she wants to go back?"

"Meizi eats and drinks quite quietly at home, but your elder brother and sister-in-law are so anxious to death. Looking at her, I feel very upset!" There is no reason to take back the water thrown by a married daughter.

"You are about the same age as her, and she also listens to you. Go out to talk to her when you are free, persuade her, and go back quickly. Who can stay in her mother's house for such a long time like her among married girls?"

Bao Niang replied in a low voice.

Really want to see it!
It is better to have a child after getting married. There has been no news for such a long time, maybe who is the problem!
The next day, Bao Niang went to her sister-in-law's house. Chunmei stayed in the house lazily and refused to go out. After a few words with Bao Niang, she stopped talking.
