The sky was bright and clear on May 5th, and poplars circled the river and sang the morning eagles.

The wild pier in the early morning is lively and busy. Most people put out boats to collect the nets. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. If you collect the nets earlier and go to the market earlier, you may be able to sell the fish for a few cents more today.

There are only three boats left on the dock. Lu Quan and Chen Ping'an next door collected their fishing nets early in the morning and went to the dock to carry their bags. They just waited for the sun to come out today to dry and mend the fishing nets.

There was another boat belonging to Li Cancan's family. Li Cancan's father, Li Sixi, and Li Cancan's eldest brother, Li Tantan, collected their fishing nets and went fishing for eels.

During festivals, the price of eels collected in Laifushun is several cents higher than on weekdays.

Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoyu was sitting on the bow of the boat, hugging his family's wooden bowl, and facing Li Cangan's fishing boat without moving.

Her family made rice dumplings last night and put them in a pot to boil. They left the bottom fire in the pot to simmer all night. In the morning, they opened the lid of the pot and the aroma filled the air.

The aroma of rice dumplings mixed with the aroma of wild duck eggs envelopes the entire Wild Pier.

Now Lu Xiaoyu is wearing a string of colorful ropes on his hands, holding a wooden bowl in his arms, with rice dumplings and duck eggs in the wooden bowl, sitting cross-legged on the bow, waiting for Li Can Guan to come out of the cabin.

She wanted to show him that she had rice dumplings, salted duck eggs, and the most beautiful colorful rope.

Well, in this life, not only has she never eaten rice dumplings made of white glutinous rice, but she has also never seen such a beautiful colorful rope.

As the sun rose little by little, Aunt Li cooked corn crumbs porridge and shouted "Li Guan Guan" twice at the top of her lungs.

In the end, it was Aunt Li who ran into the cabin herself, pulled Li CanGuan by his ears, and dragged him up from the bed.

Li Guangguan was dragged out of the bed by his mother. He was standing on the side of the boat with his eyes bleary and sleepy, and his buttocks were naked. He was peeing into the river water, making a big pool of hot urine.

After peeing, Li Canggan yawned and walked towards the bow of the boat. He accidentally spotted Lu Xiaoyu on the opposite boat.

Seeing Lu Xiaoyu's eyes shining brightly, he didn't look ashamed even when he saw him peeing.

Li Cangua immediately jumped to his feet: "Xiaoyu, are you ashamed to watch someone pee?"

Country kids, they grew up together with Guang Na and Ni Ba, and they have always been honest with each other.

Only the girls of the Lu family, no matter how poor their conditions were since childhood, Qiu had to sew a coat and trousers for them before they were allowed to go out.

This is also the reason why Li Canguan always targets Lu Xiaoyu, why are we all the same, but you have to wear clothes while I have a bare butt.

"snort……"

Lu Xiaoyu shook his head arrogantly and snorted, "What's so good about it? It's as ugly as an earthworm."

Originally, the two boats were closest to each other. Yesterday, Aunt Li and Li Canguan came back with a basket of unsold reed leaves and moved the boat to the other side of Brother Zhang San's house.

When Li CanGuan came out to pee, he was right next to the cabin, with his back to Lu Xiaoyu, and Zhang Sange's boat in between, so Lu Xiaoyu might not have seen him pee.

But Li Canguan and Lu Xiaoyu had a deep grudge. From the time they shared a sesame seed cake to the day before yesterday, they had developed a deep hatred.

If he could ridicule Lu Xiaoyu, Li Canguan would certainly not let him go.

Li Cangun still wanted to scream. It would be better to call out the group of friends who ran around all day long so that everyone could laugh at Lu Xiaoyu. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoyu ignored him at all and raised his hands to roll up his sleeves.

Revealing his right hand tied with colorful thread, he slowly took out a salted duck egg from the bowl in his arms, looked at it and smelled it, put it back, and then took out a rice dumpling.

Salted duck eggs? Zongzi?

Li Cangua's eyes widened. They also had wild duck eggs at home. As long as they were lucky and ran to the river beach a few times, they could always pick up a few wild duck eggs.

But Lu Xiaoyu just took out duck eggs and rice dumplings.

That's something their family has never had.

Li Cangun rubbed his eyes and stood on tiptoes, trying to see clearly whether the rice dumplings in Lu Xiaoyu's hands were real.

He didn't believe it, why her family had rice dumplings after eating fat intestines.

That one is a fake rice dumpling.

Sure, it's definitely fake.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, poor families don't have glutinous rice, so they wrap a few empty rice dumplings with rice dumpling leaves and boil them in a wild vegetable pot.

In this way, the wild vegetable porridge is dipped in the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves, which is also a celebration.

Before Li Guangguan opened his mouth, he saw the Lu family's mistress also holding a wooden bowl and sitting down next to Lu Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you eat?"

Lu Xiangge never called Lu Xiaoyu third sister, and Lu Xiaoyu never cared about it.

Lu Sheige raised the zongzi he peeled off in front of Lu Xiaoyu: "Try mine."

The rice dumplings are white, with faint red dots visible inside, either red beans or red dates.

In the early morning sunshine, the white rice dumplings wrapped with red beans glow attractively.

There was nothing else in Li Cangua's eyes except that he probably had never seen such beautiful rice dumplings in his life.

"You can eat it, I have it."

Lu Xiaoyu showed her the rice dumplings in the bowl. She had some, but she was reluctant to peel them off or eat them.

Lu Sheige handed it to Lu Xiaoyu's mouth again: "Try mine. Mom has rolled red beans in it. I also dipped it in a little brown sugar just now. It's very fragrant and sweet."

"Gudong." Li Cangua swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

Lu Xiaoyu still wanted to refuse, but when she caught a glimpse of Li CanGuan, who had his eyes straightened, she couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on her lips.

The sweetness of the glutinous rice, mixed with the fragrance of the rice dumpling leaves, made Lu Xiaoyu take a small bite as if in a dream.

Hmm, it's fragrant, glutinous, soft and sweet.

Lu Xiaoyu couldn't describe the feeling in his mouth, he felt like he was floating in the clouds.

This day passed like a dream.

"Gudong."

Li Cangun, who was opposite, watched Lu Xiaoyu take a bite of the fat rice dumpling, and couldn't help but swallow a second mouthful of saliva. Unsatisfactory tears fell from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Xiaoyu is eating rice dumplings. They are real rice dumplings.

What do the rice dumplings taste like?

It has red beans and is dipped in brown sugar, so it must be sweet!

Li Cancan couldn't help but secretly resent himself. At that time, his mother bought him a sesame seed pancake. If he was willing, he could give Lu Xiaoyu a small piece to taste.

Now, Lu Xiaoyu will definitely let him taste the rice dumplings.

When he was a child, he picked up wild fruits in the wild and gave them to Lu Xiaoyu to eat. Lu Xiaoyu went home to fry small yellow croakers and gave him two of them.

They were good friends originally!

Lu Sheige saw that Lu Xiaoyu was in a daze after taking a bite of the rice dumpling, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

Everyone has rice dumplings, one for each person.

Yesterday, she spent all the money from selling mats and rice dumpling leaves to buy glutinous rice. For thirty-seven cents, she only bought less than half a catty of glutinous rice and a small handful of red beans.

Just like that, Lu Xiaoli complained all the way.

Finally, Lu Xiaoyu retorted: "If you are worried about money, then don't eat rice dumplings. I will make up for your today's copper coins when you make money next time."

Lu Xiaoli shut up angrily.

She also wanted to eat rice dumplings, but she felt more sorry for the thirty-seven copper coins spent by the mistress.

Why is Xiao Si such a prodigal? Yesterday he had some money left, but today he has not a penny left.

Lu Sheige took a bite of rice dumplings and a bite of duck eggs. After finishing the rice dumplings and duck eggs in his hands, he saw that Lu Xiaoyu was still holding a bowl, so he couldn't help but give her a nudge with his elbow.

"Eat, why don't you eat?"

"I, I can't bear to eat it."

Lu Xiaoyu looked at the rice dumplings in his hands, with tears flashing in his eyes.

After Xiaosi came back, life at home seemed to be getting better and better, and she felt like she was in a dream for the past two days.
