Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 57 A Big Fish

Farmers don't do much work in winter, and their clothes don't get dirty easily. It's normal not to change and wash them for a month, so there are basically no people washing clothes by the river these days, except for the Liu family.

A thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of the river. You had to smash the ice surface with a mallet before you could wash your clothes. The water under the ice surface was icy cold...

It was freezing cold, and the cold wind was blowing. Li Minglan and Li Mingyan sat on the big rocks, waving sticks and beating their clothes. Their bodies felt chills, and Li Mingyan shivered from the cold.

Liu rolled up his trouser legs and stood in the river to rinse, his hands and feet were red from the cold.

After washing for a day, her waist was sore, Li Minglan straightened her body, put her right hand behind her back and beat her back, just in time to see Li Mingyue walking up to her.

"Yue'er, why are you here?"

Thinking of Li Mingyu's pampered life at home like a young lady, then look in front of her...

Li Mingyue couldn't help but blushed, quickly covered the sourness in her heart and said with a smile: "Sister, Luo's family is going to have a wedding today, so let me come back early. I brought a clay pot to make ginger soup for you. "

After speaking, before Li Minglan could react, she rushed to the upper reaches of the river to fetch water with the pot in her arms.

Li Minglan looked at her back and said to Li Mingyan beside her: "This girl, she finally came back from early work and didn't know how to rest at home. She came here to make some ginger soup, so she's not afraid of freezing."

There is only such a river in Lijia Village. People who don’t have a well at home go to this river to fetch water for drinking. It is a custom in the village to fetch water from the upstream, wash vegetables in the middle, and wash clothes in the downstream.

Li Mingyue ran upstream and squatted down to fetch water when she suddenly saw a big fish swimming in the crystal clear river. He sharpened one end of the small knife he carried with him for self-defense, and returned to the river lightly, where the big fish was still leisurely spitting bubbles.

Li Mingyue suppressed her heart and was ecstatic. Holding the branch firmly with both hands, she aimed at the big fish and stabbed quickly. The shot was fast and precise, and the big fish followed me.

Li Mingyue carried a big fish as thick as her arm in one hand, and walked to Li Minglan with a smile while holding a clay pot full of water in the other hand, and said excitedly, "Sister, look, I caught a big fish!"

Seeing that she was struggling to hold it, Li Minglan hurriedly stood up, wiped her hands on her clothes, took the fish from her hand and weighed it, then smiled and said, "It's really a big fish." , it must weigh four to five catties, our family has only eaten such a big fish during the Chinese New Year. This is good, my grandfather said a few days ago that he wanted to drink fish soup, and here he is."

"..."

Then Li Mingyue was speechless. It really was her biological father and daughter. It seemed that her brainwashing plan hadn't gone deep enough.

I really want to hug her and shake her a few times: My dear sister, can you not be so kind.Feudal thinking really kills people. It is said that you will no longer be bullied if you stand up and resist. How can you suddenly become a good granddaughter of China... It is not that it is not good to honor the elders, but it also depends on the situation, whether the person is worth it or not.The elders are at home with good wine, good food, and hot kang. You wash clothes in the river in the cold to make money for them to spend. If you get something and still miss the unkind elders at home, Li Mingyue thinks this is stupid.

Moreover, there was more than one person who was stupid, Li Mingyan stared at the big fish with bright eyes, swallowed hard, and tried not to speak.

"Sister... why are you like our father? Our father eats meat every day, and he still cares about this fish with many spines and little meat. This fish bone is small. If the time comes, if the fish bone gets stuck on the fish bone, it will be ours." No, my mother will be scolded by our grandma again... just as you haven't eaten, I'll make fish soup for you."
