Chapter 2 Section 002 The Fish Is Forked

Section 002 The fork caught the fish

"Xiu, you really..." He Shusheng followed behind Anxiu, complaining all the time, "What should we do now? We don't have any land, so how can the three of us live? Can't you just bear it? Mother has always been like that. In a few days I grew up a bit in [-] and can work, so it won't be too late for us to separate."

While listening to He Shusheng's complaints, Anxiu tidied up the dilapidated house, hoping to make it look better.After being nagged by him for half an hour, Anxiu finally got angry: "Forbearance? Let me tell you, my sister is not a person who can bear it! Also, stop talking nonsense and don't eat at night."

Turned over, turned over completely, now in this room, she is the only adult, and everything is decided by her.He Shusheng was only 11 years old, but he kept talking non-stop, and Anxiu's ears were buzzing.

He Shusheng snorted, turned around and sat in the pile of firewood beside the stove without speaking, his small face was all pulled down, with a vivid expression of "I'm very angry and you provoke me", Anxiu couldn't help but want to laugh.The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family, so He Shusheng is too precocious.

"Sister Xiu, what shall we have for dinner?" He Yu pulled An Xiu's corner and asked with wide eyes. She didn't care about anything but food.They didn't even eat lunch, and they are all hungry now.

Speaking of food, Anxiu also had a headache, not to mention the rice problem, she didn't even have a pot.

Grandpa's house can be described as barren, with nothing, indeed nothing!There are two earthen houses in an empty space, which have been in disrepair for a long time, and the southwest corner has been broken by rain, and the thatch of the roof has been put down.

After the grandfather died, his four sons had already divided up everything he had.He Youbao was honest, only assigned to this dilapidated earthen house, for which Xiao scolded him for several days, saying he was useless, and that his brothers were all cannibals and bullied He Youbao honest.In fact, his three older brothers were also wronged, because He Youbao wanted the house himself.He has been planning to build a new house for He Shusheng in his heart. He heard people say that this house of his grandfather has the best Feng Shui.

"Evening?" Anxiu rubbed his forehead a little embarrassed, "Why don't you dig some local vegetables with your brother, and we can eat local vegetable porridge at night?"

Ground vegetables are wild vegetables, and people in this era don't eat them.But in modern times, it is a very rare green wild vegetable. Anxiu and his colleagues once dug it when they went to the farmhouse, and found it very delicious.

However, ground vegetables should be cooked with meat, otherwise they will be a bit bitter, and cooking porridge can also fill the stomach.The He family is poor, and at night with the Xiao family, they also eat sweet potato porridge.Anxiu ate everything all her life, but she didn't like sweet potatoes, and she suffered for a long time because of this.

"Is that all you can do? Return porridge with wild vegetables!" He Shusheng stood up resentfully, holding He Yu's little hand with disdain, "Yu'er, let's go, brother will take you to catch fish!"

He Shusheng is the best at catching fish, and none of the friends in the village are as capable as him.There were no nets in this era, and fish were caught with forks and covered with bamboo, and the speed of attack had to be very fast.He Shusheng is thinner than boys of the same age, but his skills are extraordinary. No one can match him.

However, all the fish forked in the past were sold by Mrs. Xiao, and she kept the money she earned and never gave them to eat.

Now I can finally get the fish to eat by myself, He Yu clapped her hands and jumped up happily when she heard this, "Okay, there are fish to eat, there are fish to eat!"

Anxiu was not as knowledgeable as a kid like him, and she kept telling her before leaving the house: "Take care of my sister, and come back early, if you don't come back before dark, I will ask my second uncle to go to the Xitang to find the corpse."

According to the climate and crops here, Anxiu made a rough estimate. It should be in the southwest of Jiangxi and the southeast of Hubei. It is a traditional land of fish and rice. It is a hilly area with abundant water and extremely fertile soil. However, it is backed by high mountains and faces the river. , the vast land and abundant resources.

The village where Anxiu lives is called Hejiazhuang, and it was a bloodline a hundred years ago.

He Shusheng took the harpoon and led little He Yu to Xitang.There are four ponds in Zhuangzi, named according to their location.Anxiu and the others live on the west side, the closest to Xitang.

After He Shusheng took He Yu away, Anxiu continued to tidy up the house.The two earth houses are surrounded by adobe walls. Although they have been defeated, they are at least their own territory.Anxiu is generally satisfied with this house, the single-family house, if it is in modern times, it would catch up with villas.

Although it is too broken to keep out the wind and rain.

After tidying up for a long time, it finally looked like it.Spread thick straw in the back room, and put the quilt brought on it, and there is a place to sleep; the hearth is all destroyed, but half of the broken earthen bowl survives, which can be used to cook porridge; It's okay, An Xiu clenched his fist, there shouldn't be anything worse than this, right?The days to come will definitely get better and better.

In less than an hour, He Shusheng came back with He Yu. The two looked excited. They caught two big fish and seven or eight small fish.These two big fish together weighed at least three catties, Anxiu's eyes were straightened: "Shu Sheng, you are really capable, amazing!"

"Xiu, I'll go fishing every day from now on, and then we'll sell it in the market, you and Yuer won't starve!" He Shusheng excitedly imagined the future with Anxiu and He Yu, his little face flushed.

Anxiu sighed, she has never seen the world, she really has no pursuit, she just thinks about it all day long so she won't be hungry.She, Anxiu, is determined to be a rich man in these ten miles and eight villages. How long will she spend fishing and selling fish?But for children, praise is more important than criticism. Although Anxiu looked down on He Shusheng's small ideals, she still patted his head: "Shusheng is really promising! Then Yu'er and I can count on living a good life with you in the future."

He Shusheng shook off her hand, Anxiu's tone was like coaxing a child, which made him very unhappy: "Xiu, what I said is true! I am your man!"

"Yeah, I believe it!" Anxiu followed suit and tried her best not to laugh.He Shusheng and He Yu were so happy to catch fish today, she didn't want to spoil the fun.These two children have been oppressed by their stepmother all year round, they are pitiful enough, and they are rarely as comfortable as they are today.

Seven or eight small fish are enough for them to have a full meal.As the sky gradually darkened, Anxiu tied the two big fish with straw ropes, and said to He Shusheng: "Shusheng, you take care of Yu'er at home, and I will send these two fish to the second uncle."

The second uncle is He Youbao's second elder brother, He Youfu, who is one of the most promising people in Zhuangzi. He is physically strong, has good farming skills, and is upright. He often secretly asks his youngest daughter He Juan to feed He Shusheng and He Yu. .What Anxiu likes the most is that his wife, Li Shi, is also a loyal woman.

The uncle is also nice, but the aunt Tang is stingy and greedy for petty gains, her mouth is so long that she can't hold back anything, Anxiu doesn't like her.In comparison, she would rather have more contact with the second uncle's family.

Sanbo's family is all top-notch, everyone from big to small is lazy, greedy and vicious, petty theft, so that even Zhuangzi doesn't like their family, and Anxiu keeps him at a respectful distance.

"Why do you want to give it to the second uncle's house? I want to eat the big fish!" He Yu heard that An Xiu was going to send the big fish away, and hugged her leg without letting go, staring straight at the fish, very pitiful.

"Yu'er is good, the small fish is delicious too! My sister took the big fish and went to the second uncle's house to exchange some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, otherwise we will have to eat white water fish." An Xiu stroked He Yu's small head and smiled, " And didn't the second uncle ask sister Juanzi to bring you pancakes the day before yesterday? You only eat sister Juanzi's, don't you need to send sister Juanzi back?"

He Juan is 13 years old. Although she is not as beautiful as He Xia from her uncle's family, she is still very attractive.Like her second uncle and second aunt, Juanzi is a very honest and loyal girl, unlike He Xia, who rests her eyes on top of her head.

Hearing that he was sending fish to He Juan, He Yu finally let go of his hand and curled his lips: "Hello, Sister Juanzi, I am willing to give the fish to Sister Juanzi!"

Seeing that He Yu was still so distressed that tears were about to fall, He Shusheng pulled her into his arms: "Yu'er, brother will catch you tomorrow, and I promise to be fatter and bigger than those two fish, okay?"

"Really?" He Yu's black and pure eyes lit up instantly, brighter than the stars in the night sky.

Seeing that He Yu was attracted by He Shusheng's words, An Xiu hurried out.Erbo's house is also in Xitou, not far from grandpa's house, just pass through five or six houses.

At dusk, every house smokes, the farmers have all returned from the fields, the women are cooking at home, and the men and children are sitting and chatting in their own yards. Some people see Anxiu coming over with fish, tsk-tsk: "Xiu girl, where are you from?" fish? What a rarity.”

Only then did Anxiu regret that she didn't use something to cover it up, and she just asked people to look at it, and she didn't know what gossip would come out tomorrow.She also responded with a smile: "My tree has a fork."

"Yo, Xiu, your man is really promising!" One of the young daughters-in-law smiled coquettishly, and the words elicited a burst of laughter.In the past, Anxiu was a bit dull, and when people in the village said about her, she just blushed and couldn't speak a word, which aroused everyone's interest even more, girls of the same age always liked to make fun of her.

"It's not as good as your man!" An Xiu laughed, "When I hit you, hey, my hands are so strong! Next time, remember to stick potatoes on your face to reduce swelling!"

This little daughter-in-law is Zhou Shi, the daughter-in-law of the eldest son of He Songcai's family. She is usually coquettish and coquettish. She has no guards and says anything.Although her man is strong and powerful, he has a bad temper and beats her every now and then, often with bruised nose and swollen face.

Anxiu didn't sympathize with her at all, because her mouth was really disgusting.

Everyone in the village laughed again, and Zhou's daughter-in-law's face turned green all of a sudden.

Anxiu was too lazy to learn about this group of old friends who had no foresight, so she quickened her pace and walked towards the second uncle's house.
