Chapter 046: [Two big fish]
Get off at the entrance of the village, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
After walking to the entrance of the alley, Xu Jianjun handed a few paper bags to Qin Xuejuan and said, "I'm going to deliver glutinous rice noodles, so you don't have to wait for Brother Daguo to come to our house tonight to get it. You can go in first."
"Okay, don't delay dinner."
"knew."
The mother and daughter walked into the house with their things and saw Yu Chunhua sitting on a small stool in the yard cutting vegetables.
"Grandma, we're back." Xu Ning stepped forward and squatted down in front of Yu Chunhua, "but I'm exhausted."
"Is it tiring to go to the city to play?" Yu Chunhua glared at her granddaughter.
"Of course I'm tired. I've been walking up and down in the mall for a long time. Of course, I bought you two clothes. I chose them for you. I just don't know if my grandma will like them." Xu Ning looked at her with a look of credit.
Yu Chunhua opened her mouth and hesitated to swallow what she wanted to say.
"I have bought it all, and I have to wear it if I don't like it."
"I think you will definitely like it. My parents say it looks good and doesn't look old when they are dressed."
"I'm old, and it's useless to wear colorful clothes." She didn't look old, and she said as if she was still very young.
Xu Ning said seriously: "Grandma, don't you notice that your hair ends have black hair?"
She also suddenly discovered that Yu Chunhua's hair was half white, but she was in her seventies. She had experienced the arduous war and famine era. Many adult men had almost exhausted their health, let alone a widow who had to raise a few children. It was already a good thing that she could still see black hair in her seventies.
Yu Chunhua would sit in the room every morning and combed her hair very neatly. Of course, she knew better than others about her hair.
She was the one who was most surprised that she could still have black hair.
"It's not so much. I don't know what to eat these days." She muttered, "Did you accidentally eat ginseng fruit?"
Xu Ning was amused by the old lady's words, "Ginseng fruit is definitely not, but it's almost the same."
Xu Ning felt that this change was still the effect of space water. Drinking it frequently would definitely be beneficial to the human body. As for the re-growth of black hair, she had watched a show before, saying that there was a Changshou Township somewhere, where the elderly there really lived a hundred years of life. Those who were in their seventies and eighties were considered young, and those who were in their seventies and eighties were even more common. Those black hairs in their seventies and eighties were simply ordinary.
She didn't think that space water could make people live like an old monster, at least it was obvious that it would be enough.
By the way, she had a few days without going to the space to check it out, mainly because she couldn't eat it even after planting it, so she didn't care about it.
"Ning Ning is back." Xie Zheng was carrying a porcelain basin from outside at this time, "Grandma Yu, I have brought you two fish."
"What fish? What are you sending it to us for? Just keep it for yourself." Yu Chunhua said as she stood up and looked at the two fishes that Xie Zheng brought, "This head is really not small. You can take it back quickly, Grandma Yu doesn't want it."
When Xie Zheng heard this, he seemed quite amused and laughed, "Don't you, my grandmother asked me to send it here. If you ask me to take it back, she wouldn't have to call me useless. This was not bought. It was my grandfather who went fishing with someone else in the morning. There were only three people in our family, and we couldn't finish it. Don't be polite to our family."
After saying that, he brought the porcelain basin into the kitchen and rushed to Xu Ning outside and said, "Ning Ning comes here to find me a basin."
"Here you come." Xu Ning happily got into the kitchen, took out a plastic basin from the upper layer of the cabinet, and took two lively fish in person. It was slippery and the weight was really not light. "Brother Zheng, come and eat sweet and sour fish tonight?"
Xie Zheng's eyes lit up instantly, "Do you do it?"
"My grandma made it very delicious, too." Xu Ning said casually.
"That's right." Xie Zheng nodded, "Let's talk about it tonight. Don't forget to make up for the lessons. You can't relax just because of the holiday."
"...I'm very tired to go to the city today. Let's take a night off. Will it be okay to start during the day tomorrow?" Xu Ning's tone was a coaxing voice, "We bought glutinous rice noodles and I'll get it for you."
"No need." Xie Zheng smiled: "You can keep it for yourself and eat it tomorrow. Tomorrow, go to bed early tonight, I'll go back."
"Oh, Brother Zheng walked slowly." Xu Ning turned around and came back to see Xie Zheng leave.
Back in the kitchen, she looked at the two fish in the plastic basin. Each one was almost forty centimeters, weighing about three or four kilograms. I really don’t know where Grandpa Jiang caught it. If I say that it would be impossible to buy it, although Grandpa Jiang’s family has good conditions because of his son and daughter-in-law, he would not buy so many fish at one time. The price of the fish is really not cheap now, and most people really can’t bear to eat it.
For example, Xu Ning's family has a simple population and both parents make money. The conditions are obviously much better than most rural families, but they rarely eat fish, so it is a different story.
"Grandma, should I keep one tonight?" Xu Ning said to the old lady outside.
Yu Chunhua thought about it and said, "If you want to eat, make it."
"Then let's raise it first, and then do it when you harvest the wheat." It's been almost a month since I returned from Rebirth, and Xu Ning didn't feel too greedy. It's about getting early and late, but I'll have to get into their family's stomach sooner or later. Let them drink space water first and live a few more days. The taste will probably be extraordinary at that time.
After Qin Xuejuan packed up her things, she saw two fish in the kitchen, "Oh, this head is indeed not small."
"Is it?" Xu Ning scooped a scoop of water and poured it in. "It's just that the basin is a little small, and they can't even move inside."
"It's okay, I can't raise it for a few days anyway." Qin Xuejuan came back with a bucket outside and helped the old lady prepare for the pig food. "Mom, when will the wheat in our family be harvested?"
"It depends on the situation. It should be the day after tomorrow. You should go to work in the next two days." Yu Chunhua got up and walked in, "I will accept your Uncle Jiang's house first."
"Okay, let Ningning cook at home this year, and I won't have to come back at noon."
Their village is very lively when harvesting wheat, and at noon, the family usually delivers the food to the field, which saves troubles. Although it is very hot at this time, it is also a harvest season. No one except the children has the time to take a nap. They are anxious to take back the wheat first.
June is ruthless. Today is sunny, and it is hard to guarantee that there will be no heavy rain in the next moment. If you are not nervous, the hard work will be in vain.
