Chapter 73 Small fish and shrimp
"It's okay, we can't finish it. When the water recedes, I can send it home to my parents to taste." Zhen Guangrong smiled and waved his hands when he heard Wen Xiange's words.

"Well, I'll send some home when the time comes." Xiao Chenggong also nodded when he heard the words.

Wen Xiange felt a little ashamed after listening to her nose. She never thought of sending it home to her family to taste. Although it was not something expensive, it was a wish of her own. Her family is gone, not to mention others, Yuanshen's mother is still very good to her.

"Okay, then I'll put some more salt in and dry it later, and when the water recedes, I'll send some back home."

Now that we have agreed to send them home, Wen Xiange waited for the two men to go to work in the afternoon, put on raincoats and water shoes, and then took the wooden bucket and homemade net bag to the next door to find Aunt Hongying's second daughter, Jin Ye. I went with my third daughter, Jinhua.

Aunt Hongying’s parents-in-law have all passed away. She and her husband had five children together, the eldest is a boy, and the remaining four are girls. Jinhua is thirteen, and her little girl, Jintao, is eight years old. The two elders usually go to work with the adults to earn work points, and the youngest, Jintao, stays at home to look after the children and do some housework by the way.

The four daughters in their family did not study, only the eldest son graduated from high school and is now working as a scorekeeper in the brigade.

When she first found out about this situation, she was actually very angry. She usually looked at Aunt Hongying and thought it was a good person, but she couldn't agree with the issue of patriarchy.

But as a teacher of Lianhe Primary School, she also knows that this kind of phenomenon is very common in the rural areas now. It can be seen from the fact that almost all boys in her school are boys. This is not an example, but the thinking of most people.

She couldn't help but feel angry, but sometimes she would teach the little girl how to read when she was free.

As for the two older ones, the two of them followed suit twice and stopped learning, saying that they were tired from working every day, and they couldn't remember them after learning them, and it was a waste of time, and she couldn't do anything about it.

"Wen Zhiqing is here. You are going to get small fish again. It is too time-consuming and fuel-intensive to make. Our family already has a lot, and there is still one pot to deal with. The chicken is enough to eat. We don't plan to do it for the time being." Do it again." Looking at Wen Xiange, Shen Hongying knew that she was going to call her two daughters to follow.

"Ah, I'm sorry, then I'll go by myself." Wen Xiange said with some embarrassment when he heard the words.

"Then you have to be careful yourself. However, what do you do with so many small fish and shrimps? Even if you spend firewood to dry them in this weather, it will be difficult to store them for too long." Shen Hongying waved her hand while looking at the embarrassed Wen Xiange and said.

Salt is also hard to buy at this time, except for people like Wen Xiange, few people would waste salt on these worthless things.

"The three of us plan to get some more and send them home when the water recedes, so that our family can taste the river freshness here." Wen Xiange said with a smile.

"Ah, this..., then you are really filial to children." Shen Hongying really didn't know what to say when she heard the words. Originally, she wanted to say that these things were not worth the postage fee. I guess these things were worth less than the postage fee Well, but thinking about the smell of food coming from the homes of the children from time to time, and knowing that the families of the children are all good, she thought it was worthless, but they might not care, so she paused and changed her words.

After speaking, she looked at the rain outside again, Shen Hongying frowned and said, "Why don't I let Jin Ye go with you."

"Thank you, Aunt Hongying, no need, I won't go far, nothing will happen." Wen Xiange waved his hands hurriedly, and said that he had already walked out the door.
