Wang family small peasant girl

Chapter 75

Zhang Yun carried the basket into the village, walked around the dirt road in the village, and arrived in front of Chang Man's house in a short while. He couldn't help but stop, hesitating a little in his heart. Go up the steps and step into the yard.

After entering the yard, he looked up and saw Chang Fu digging and playing in the mud under the peach tree at the corner of the yard. There was no other figure in the yard. Zhang Yun couldn't help calling out loudly, "Auntie, is Auntie at home?"

Hearing the call, Shao hurriedly ran out from the kitchen. When he saw Zhang Yun, he immediately put on a smile on his face, and hurriedly greeted him, "It's Yun'er, what can I do to see Auntie?"

"It's not a big deal, hey, just send something here, I made it myself, let uncle and aunt taste it, if it's not delicious, don't laugh at me." Zhang Yun held up the basket in his hand with a smile He got up and held out his hand to Shao Shi.

Shaw was not overly polite when he arrived, he stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a smile: "You still brought something here on purpose, Auntie is really embarrassed."

"Auntie has helped us so much, so it's nothing to send some food." Zhang Yun hurriedly replied with a smile, then paused for a while, and continued: "Besides, this fish was caught by Chang Man, and I also It’s just some firewood, oil and salt, if it’s really counted, we can’t share the credit.”

After hearing this, Shaw was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered, no wonder his son came back very late last night, it turned out that this was the case, he knew it in his heart, and he didn't show anything on the surface, just He laughed and said: "That's what I said, the chef in the restaurant can still earn money by using the spatula. We have tasted Yun'er's craftsmanship, so how can we say that we can't get credit for it?"

The two laughed and talked, and Zhang Yun said: "Auntie, I'm still waiting to cook dinner at home, so I won't stay any longer, and I'm leaving now."

"Look at my wordiness. Wait a minute. I'll get you out. You can take the basket and bowl back." Shao said, he went into the kitchen, took out the sea bowl from the basket, and lifted the lid to have a look. The milky white and smooth fish head tofu soup appeared, and the scent penetrated into her nostrils, she immediately smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

Shao took his own bowl, poured the fish head tofu soup upside down, washed the sea bowl brought by Zhang Yun, put it back in the basket, and carried it out of the kitchen.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, he saw Zhang Yun squatting under the peach tree. Chang Fu was talking to her with his face up. He couldn't understand what he was saying, but there was a smile on Chang Fu's face. Shao looked at it, I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart, and said in my heart, whoever is able to marry such a good girl is really lucky.

Shao stopped and watched for a while, then Zhang Yun turned his head and saw that Shao had already left the kitchen, stood up hurriedly, and said to Chang Fu: "Then play by yourself, my sister is leaving."

"Sister, this is for you." Chang Fu got up all of a sudden, raised his hand, and handed the thing in his hand to Zhang Yun as if offering a treasure. When she saw it, it turned out to be a peach blossom falling from a tree. It is pink and tender in the baby's small hands.

Zhang Yun took it with a smile, put the peach blossom on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile, "Thank you Xiaofu for sending flowers to my sister." But he thought in his heart that such a young child would give flowers, and when he grows up, it might be Picking up girls, thinking about it, couldn't help laughing, revealing his white teeth.

"It's Yun'er, why is it so rare today." Zhang Yun was just smiling, when a rough shout came from outside, she turned her head and looked over, and saw Chang Tiemu stepping into the yard carrying a hoe, followed by Chang Tiemu. Full, but he fixed his feet and looked straight at her with his eyes.

Chang Man stared blankly at the front, feeling his heart beating fast, the pink and tender peach blossoms all over the tree reflected her more pretty, she was really more beautiful than flowers, at this moment when Zhang Yun looked over, he realized that he was Losing his composure, he hurriedly turned his gaze away and avoided it, but the throbbing in his heart couldn't stop no matter what.

Seeing Chang Man avoiding his eyes, Zhang Yun replied with a smile: "Uncle Tiemu, thanks to my aunt for helping us these days, I don't think there is any good thank you gift. I just cooked a special dish today, so I serve it to you." Come here, let Uncle Tiemu and Auntie taste it."

"It's better to be Yun'er, and I still miss uncle and aunt, so let's not be polite, and try Yun'er's craftsmanship." Chang Tiemu had a straightforward temperament, leaning the hoe against the corner, and smiled Talked up.

"You're welcome, Uncle Tiemu, Auntie, I have to go home and make dinner, so I'm leaving first." Zhang Yun saw that it was getting late, so if he stayed any longer, his parents and grandpa were waiting for dinner before dinner was cooked. It's time to come back.

When Shaw heard this, he hurriedly greeted him, handed the basket back to Zhang Yun, and said a few more polite words, Zhang Yun hurried out of the courtyard.

Chang Man stayed by the door the whole time without moving his footsteps. Seeing that Zhang Yun was going out of the courtyard, he hurriedly moved a few steps to the side and gave way to the courtyard door. Zhang Yun walked past him, stopped for a while, and said softly He said, "Thank you for the bamboo pole." After speaking, he ran out of the courtyard gate and headed home.

The petite figure walked farther and farther in sight, Chang Man was still at the gate of the courtyard, staring at the figure going away, the old man Chang Tiemu didn't understand this kind of thinking, so he wanted to go to the backyard with a hoe to put it away. After walking a few steps, seeing that Chang Man didn't follow, he called out, "Manzi, what are you still doing in a daze, put your things away, and we'll have dinner later."

Chang Man responded, and turned around slowly, but he couldn't turn his face, his eyes were still looking into the distance, he took a step and then stopped.

Shao wanted to go back to the kitchen, but seeing his son like this, the woman was careful and knew what his son was thinking, so she couldn't help but walked up and said: "Don't look at it, no matter how much you look at it, you won't come back."

When Chang Man heard his mother's voice, he couldn't help turning his head to look at her. Shaw stretched out his hand and patted his son's arm, saying: "Sometimes, boys have to enlarge their eyes, don't stare at them all the time, take good care of yourself." Get things done, maybe that way, the girl will like it instead, mother is someone from here, listen to what mother says."

After Shao finished speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen. Chang Man looked at his mother's back, and then turned his head to look at the path where there was no longer that back. Unknowingly, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Over there, Zhang Yun hurried home, just filled the rice with water and put it on the stove to burn it up, when the young and old of the Zhang family came back.

Parents, grandpa, and the others arrived home, and Zhang Zhang also came back. Zhang Yun fried green vegetables and pickled vegetables, and served them together with fish head tofu. After the family washed up, they gathered around the table to eat dinner.

During dinner, Zhang Yun asked about digging ditches and raising ridges, and Zhang Zhang talked about it endlessly. After talking for a while, he turned to Zhang Yun and said, "Doctor Xiao Hong also asked about you, why you didn't go?" .”

"Then what did the elder brother say?" Zhang Yun hurriedly asked, fearing that the elder brother's answer would not be good, which would make Hong Cheng uncomfortable. After all, it was her idea to raise the rice fields at the beginning, but when it came time to act, she didn't In the past, people would feel insincere to some extent.

"I didn't say anything, I just said that you were busy at home, and Doctor Xiaohong didn't ask any more questions." Zhang Zhang didn't care, and replied casually.

Zhang Yun couldn't hear anything from his elder brother's words, thinking that the fish and shrimp fry should be almost the same, since it is cooperation, he still has to show sincerity, so he said: "Tomorrow, I will go there with you. "

"Well, I have half a day of work tomorrow, so it should be almost done." Zhang Zhang said.This matter was settled in this way. After dinner, Zhang Yun did not help Mrs. Zhou clean up. Instead, he took Zhang Liangen and Zhang Youqing to the bathtub.

"Grandpa, Dad, I want to raise grass carp, bighead carp and crucian carp, but among these fry, I can't tell which ones are which. Let's see if you can tell the difference." Zhang Yun pointed to the bathtub It's really a headache to distinguish the fish fry that swim away, but if you don't distinguish them, no matter what kind of fish, just raise them randomly like this, I'm afraid the chance of survival will be much smaller.

"If you really want to separate them, it's not impossible, but it will take a lot of effort, so you can't raise them all?" Zhang Youqing looked into the bathtub, and there were at least two hundred fry in it, which cost one point each. It took only a few days to come out, I'm afraid it won't work.

Zhang Yun couldn't say that this is scientific fish farming, so he could only say indiscriminately: "I heard people say that these three kinds of fish are the best to raise, and there are many people who buy them. We want to raise fish and shrimps, isn't it just to raise more and more fish?" , and then we can sell it for a good price and earn a little more money."

Zhang Youqing glanced at her, thinking about what the girl said was right, there is no money that can be earned without working hard, the trouble is troublesome, but for the sake of money, I have to do everything.

Thinking of this level, Zhang Youqing nodded in agreement. Before it was dark, he rolled up his sleeves and fetched a ladle. Zhang Yun quickly helped to fetch two small wooden barrels and two wooden basins. Let Zhang Youqing pack it properly.

Although Zhang Zhang couldn't recognize it, he followed along and helped with the housework. Zhang Xing squatted and played with the water from time to time. Zhang Liangen moved a bench, sat by the tub, took out the tobacco pot, and smoked dry tobacco. With him by his side, if Zhang Youqing really can’t recognize him, let him have a look. The old man eats more salt than others, so he is naturally better at it. If you look carefully, you can basically recognize him.

Zhang Youqing patiently scooped fish out of the bathtub one by one, identified them carefully, and then divided them into buckets or basins containing different fish. He didn't stop until it was too dark to see clearly.

Everyone rested, and Zhang Zhang helped move the big bathtub to the corner under the eaves, while Zhang Yun put the bucket and wooden basin next to the shelf, and counted the fish separately. The grass carp that has been identified so far There are more than 20 fish, a dozen bighead carp, seven or eight crucian carp, and the rest are other fish species. In the bathtub, there are always hundreds of fish that have not been identified. I am afraid it will take another two days to sort them out properly. .

After putting away the bathtub, wooden barrel, and wooden basin, Zhang Yun took the opportunity to take the charter to the yard while his parents had entered the house, and said quietly: "Brother, let's go to the river together and catch some more fish." Bring back the shrimp." Zhang Yun felt that the fish were divided so much today that the grass carp, bighead carp, and crucian carp might not be enough, so he had to catch more quickly.

When they had just eaten, Zhang Yun had already said that he would go to Baitang Village with him tomorrow. Since he didn't have time tomorrow, he might as well go there at night. Anyway, there was a bamboo cage, so he could catch it two or three times.

Zhang Zhang thought that his skill at picking fish and shrimps was too bad, there was no need to go again, and wanted to refuse in his heart, so he said: "It's not like you don't know, I can't pick a few fish in one night, it's better to have a rest. "

"Brother, just follow me, I guarantee you can catch fish, really, you trust me." With the bamboo cage, Zhang Yun is full of confidence in catching fish, and he can catch fish without his elder brother, so let him go I just feel that the riverside is strangely deserted at this time, and it makes people feel uncomfortable after staying for a long time. I want to find someone to accompany me, to have someone to talk to, and to pass some time.

In this way, Zhang Yun insisted on pulling on the charter, and went to the Qingling River with buckets, bamboo cages, bamboo poles, and hemp rope.When he saw the power of the bamboo cage, Zhang Zhang only felt it was amazing, he kept saying that this thing is good, he just praised it.

When the brother and sister returned home, they brought back a bucket full of fish and shrimp fry. Zhang Yun poured them all into the bathtub. Looking at the cheerful fish and shrimp fry in the bathtub, he only thought, hoped There can be more grass carp, bighead carp, and crucian carp fry this time, otherwise we have to continue to catch more.
