Chapter 59

During the three days when Lin Qiu came to catch fish and went to the county to buy it, only Lin Damin's house was there. Uncle Gui and a few villagers who went to the market in those few days saw it. Thinking of Fang Yumin's goodness, he didn't talk too much.So when Lin Qiu came to the family's three-acre land to release water for fishing, the villagers all went to watch and lamented that the fish were too small and too few.The idea of ​​raising fish in rice fields is also fleeting.

Lin Qiu came to Fang Yumin and Lin Damin's house to keep silent. There were not many fish weighing more than three catties. Except for some fishes that were used to make dried fish, the rest and fish weighing two catties were transported by Lin Qiulai and Ah Qing. A stall was set up in Nantou County, selling almost [-] Wen.

Naturally, the family couldn't eat alone after fishing, so Fang Yumin picked a bucket of fish weighing two catties and asked the five children to send it together.Five for mother-in-law Zhang and eldest brother, and two for Lin Qiulai's second brother.Lizheng's family and your uncle's family also gave two of them.As for Aunt Chunhua's family, they are all from her own family, so naturally they took it casually.

Lin Qiulai made a big wooden box, which was filled with water from the rice fields, and the water was full of finger-length small fish.This is the fish fry that Fang Yumin raises to be raised in the rice fields after the autumn harvest.

People in the village will plant winter wheat and potatoes after the autumn harvest, but Fang Yumin doesn't plan to do so.One is that she doesn't know how to plant, and Lin Qiulai still has a lot of work to do; the other is that after autumn, the corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts and soybeans in the field will all be harvested one after another, so how can I have time to take care of them? Wheat?Besides, the wheat grown is for the family to eat, so it would be more cost-effective to buy it during the harvest year.Lin Qiulai still needs to build a house.

Coarse salt has already been prepared at home. Dried fish is very simple. You just need to cut open the fish and wash it, then marinate it with salt for one night, and then put it in the sun to dry it the next day.

Aunt Chunhua brought Xiaohong over to help butcher the fish, Fang Yumin was very grateful: "Aunt Chunhua, I am bothering you again."

"Look at what you said?" Aunt Chunhua still had a loud voice, and she said, "A fish costs more than ten yuan. How many fish did you give us? You are still so polite about this."

"Okay, I won't talk anymore. Let's kill and pickle the fish." Fang Yumin said with a smile.

The three of them worked together, Aunt Chunhua slaughtered the fish, Xiaohong washed the fish, and Fang Yumin marinated it.It took a whole day to barely finish it, and everyone was so tired that they couldn't even stand upright.

"Aunt Chunhua, I can't do it anymore. Come over to my house for dinner at noon tomorrow. I won't keep you today." Fang Yumin said painfully, beating her waist.

"It's okay, we'll come back tomorrow. You're exhausted too, so go get some rest early." Aunt Chunhua said while tidying up.

"Yes, Aunt Xiaolian. You are so tired that your face is pale." Xiaohong also said with concern.

Aunt Chunhua suddenly approached Fang Yumin, and whispered: "You need to mend your body, and now your family life is getting better, and you are young, so you should go see the doctor for recuperation, maybe you will be pregnant soon. Woolen cloth."

"Huh?" Fang Yumin was a little stunned, but quickly realized it, and said with a smile: "We already have so many children in our family, let's let nature take its course. Now that we are so busy, it will be troublesome to conceive."

"What are you talking about? Why don't you give birth to a younger brother or sister for Xiaoming?" Aunt Chunhua gave Fang Yumin a disapproving look, and then said, "I heard from people in my natal family that Wang's Village is about to be rebuilt. I asked someone to find out if the relatives of these children are still there?"

"Really? I've been so busy recently that I haven't been out of the Lin Family Village." Fang Yumin pondered for a moment, and said, "If the relatives are still there, it's best to send the child back. It's just that we have been together for a few months and just send it away like this." , I really can’t bear it.”

"I don't know the situation yet, I'll ask my brother to inquire about it."

"Okay, thank you Aunt Chunhua." Fang Yumin turned her head to look at the few little figures busy in the backyard, and said, "Don't mention it in front of the children for now, wait until it's confirmed."

"it is good."

After scrubbing and putting away everything and washing the floor, the sky is already full of sunset.

The rice has already been cooked, and the fish soup is also stewed and heated on the stove.Fang Yumin no longer needs to do the cooking, Xiao Yang has already taken over.Probably he has the talent to be a chef, the dishes are fried quite well, and the heat is also well controlled.

After dinner, everyone took a short break and started working again.

Early the next morning, Fang Yumin began to dry the fish.Taking advantage of the fierce sun, rows of salted fish skewered with straw were drying in the backyard of Fang Yumin's house.This has to be repeatedly exposed to the sun for a few days, and it can only be put away until it is completely dry, otherwise it will easily deteriorate.

Fang Yumin diligently stirs the five sauce jars twice a day. It has been in the sun for more than two months. Now when you lift the bamboo hat and stir, you can smell a fresh and salty smell.Fang Yumin was very satisfied, and probably could make good soy sauce.

Seeing her rabbit jumping around in the cage, Fang Yumin began to think again.Now that the hunters hunt rabbits, the purchase price of the restaurant is three pennies each.However, wild rabbits are not as fat and tender as domestic rabbits. They are good for stewing soup, but they are not as good for cooking.If you can supply to the restaurant for a long time, how much should you quote to the restaurant?
There are already more than 20 female rabbits that can breed at home, and there are still young ones that have not grown up yet.All of them were identified by Fang Yumin wearing a red belt on his leg.Once seeing their stomachs start to sink, Fang Yumin will separate them and live in a single room, and serve them with delicious food and drink, so as to give birth to a bunch of baby rabbits.

Now most of the male rabbits over four months old in the family have been stewed and braised into the stomachs of Fang Yumin's family of seven, followed by more than 50 rabbits that are two or three months old. will be pregnant.

There is still more than a month to enter autumn, and the crops in the fields are beginning to mature. When the farming season gets busy, they will not be able to care about these rabbits at all.If the rabbit is more than five or six months old, it will not be tender enough to eat.Fang Yumin planned to sell a batch of rabbits before the autumn harvest.

After more than a week like this, Aunt Chunhua hurried over to find Fang Yumin: "Xiaolian? Is Xiaolian at home?"

"Yes, Aunt Chunhua, I'm in the backyard, come here." Fang Yumin was squatting in the backyard turning over the dried wax gourd on the Shau Kei.

"Xiao Lian, I've already made inquiries for you." Aunt Chunhua waved to Fang Yumin, pulled her to sit on the bamboo chair under the eaves, looked around, and asked, "How many children are there in your family?"

"Studying in the house. What did you inquire about?"

"The rebuilding of Wangjia Village has been done. Many people who have been exiled to other places have returned. I heard that they will be exempted from taxes for three years."

"Oh, I forgot about it." Fang Yumin looked back at the room, and asked in a low voice: "Then did you find out if the relatives of these children are still there?"

"My brother asked someone to ask. Wang Dabao and Wang Xiaobao's family members are all there. Wang Xiaozhu's mother seems to be gone, but his father and elder brother have returned to the village. They are all looking for the whereabouts of the child. They just can't find Wang Xiaoyang. Relatives, some people in Wangjia Village said that they saw his father go to another place, and some said that they were all killed."

"Is this all true?" Fang Yumin asked.

"I have inquired many times, especially Wang Dabao and Wang Xiaobao's family. It seems that there are only two sons in the family, and his parents are so anxious."

"Aunt Chunhua, why don't you go to Wang's Village and tell me that my family just adopted four children, and let them come to the door to recognize them?" Fang Yumin didn't know how to deal with it. Fortunately, she didn't buy it. They, otherwise the good and good people become slaves, and these four children will suffer.

"That's fine too." Aunt Chunhua nodded, "It's better for the child to be with his relatives. What about Xiaoyang?"

"Of course he stays at my house. If his parents are gone, even if there are other relatives in the village, I don't want him to go back and live under the fence."

"Okay." Aunt Chunhua said, "Why don't you discuss it with Qiulai before making a decision?"

"Well, I'll talk to him tonight."
