Chapter 10 Octopus
Li Xiaoyu lay on the ground, put his hand into the water to release the water from the space well, and a group of fish swarmed, drinking the well water in large gulps.
The crowds in front were all four or five catties of fish, including grass carp, carp, and silver carp.
Small fish can’t squeeze in, so we can only pick up some leaking water from the periphery.
Li Chengji saw so many fish, so he hurriedly got down and caught the fish, and when he caught it, he threw it into the ground behind him.
Such a big movement did not scare the fish away, and they all pushed forward desperately.
Li Xiaoyu took this opportunity to collect some fish into the space, and will have the opportunity to go to Dahe to collect more big fish in the future.
Li Chengyi came over with the basket on his back, saw a lot of fish in the ground, smirked and quickly picked it up and put it in the basket.
When Li Ma came, the three brothers and sisters had already filled a basket full of fish, and they all smirked at the basket full of fish and kept sighing.
A lot of meat! A lot of money!
Mama Li was very surprised that she caught so many fish. When did the river have so many fish?
"You three go back, don't say ha!
If others come to catch it, then there will be no one in our family, and you will not be able to eat fish. "Mama Li warned.
"We know, delicious food should be kept secret." Of course Li Chengji understood what Li Ma meant.
"The third one, go to the side of the road and wait for your dad to come back. Let him come back and pick him back. We won't have anyone else to leave later."
Li Ma said as she filled the big bucket in her hand with water, and then put the fish in the back basket into the bucket, so as not to die.
It was getting dark, and Father Li was sweating profusely when he came back, with a lot of sweat on his chest and back.
Father Li was pulled by Li Chengyi and hurried to the river.
"Snowflake, it's getting dark, it's time to go back. What's up, what's the matter?
The third child didn't tell me anything, he dragged me and ran away, almost killing me.
So many fish! Okay! You brothers and sisters are very capable.
Tonight we will eat fish, and tomorrow morning I will bring it back for some food, and our family will also eat dry rice. "
The family went home in the dark and hurry up to cook.
Father Li swiftly killed the fish, chopped the fish and boiled it in a pot, and ate a round belly under the dim yellow oil lamp.
Li Chengji cleaned up the dishes, washed the dishes, and Li Ma quickly went to feed the pigs.
Father Li counted the fish in the bucket, and Li Xiaoyu quietly put some well water into the bucket.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll go sell the fish and bring you some seeds back.
Don't go to the riverside when you are at home, it is easy to be found by others, wait for Dad to take you there for a rest. "
"Okay, then can I go to sell fish with you tomorrow!"
"You have to leave before dawn in the morning, it's too early, go to the market with your mother."
The family washes and rests, not to mention.
At five o'clock the next day, Father Li went out with a wooden barrel.
Go to school during the day, work for work.
Leaving Li Xiaoyu alone at home with a child, she sat bored at the gate of the courtyard, counting the ants on the ground, waiting for Li's father to return.
After school, Li Chengji saw Li Xiaoyu sitting outside alone, and hurriedly stepped forward and carried her into the room.
"Second brother and third brother, you are back, I am waiting for the old man to come home." Li Xiaoyu said cheerfully.
"Go into the house, Dad will be back in a while."
Hearing the footsteps behind, seeing that Li's father and Li's mother were back, Li Xiaoyu excitedly dropped her second brother and ran away.
"Old man, old man! It's back! Is there any? Is there any?"
Li's father happily took Li Xiaoyu's hand into the house, patted his pocket, handed a cloth bag, and took out a handful of wool bills from his pocket.
Putting it on the table, the number on his face glowing, actually has 11 yuan and 80 cents.
Father Li took out thirty cents with a smile and gave it to the three brothers and sisters, each with one cent.
Li Ma came in carrying the basket and put it down. Li Xiaoyu saw that there was a large bag of rice, estimated to be 80 pounds, and a piece of fat pork belly.
Seeing the pork belly, Li Xiaoyu kept shouting in her heart.
My garlic sprout twice-cooked pork! I was so greedy that tears came out of my mouth!
"Tonight, have dry rice and stir-fry pork with garlic sprouts.
The third went to pull the garlic sprouts and pinch the scoop of cabbage back. "
Father Li calmly instructed his younger son to cook a delicious meal for his family in the evening if he had meat to eat.
Father Li picked up the meat, cut the fat to make oil, and sliced the rest.
The fragrance of the oil from refining oil is too greedy, and the smell of fragrant wafts out of the hospital door.
Father Li shoveled out a shovel of oil residue, put it in a bowl and handed it to the three brothers and sisters guarding the stove, and then put the oil and oil residue in the pot into the oil tank.
The three brothers and sisters shared the fragrant oil residue, and looked at the three little ones together, Father Li showed a fatherly smile.
Put the raw meat slices into the pot, add a small spoon of water to boil the water, and cook until the water is dry.
Stir fry the pork belly on high heat into a roll, add **** slices, stir fry garlic for a few times, put down the watercress and stir fry to color, the fragrance wafts out.
Put the garlic sprouts in the pot and fry them together. After frying until the taste is delicious, put some soy sauce to color and start the pot.
Some villagers muttered: Whose family eats meat again, it's delicious!
Holding the porridge, squatting at the door and enjoying the fragrance, drinking the porridge in the bowl with joy, as if he was eating meat.
Father Li took the oil in the pot and poured it back into the pot, which also had a meaty taste.
Li Chengyi roared when he saw the meal.
"Mom, hurry up! Eat!"
He put the tableware and chopsticks on the table, ready to eat.
The family watched with joy, a meal that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
The wind swirled through the clouds, only the sound of the bowls and chopsticks colliding and chewing.
"It's a day when the gods don't change!" Li Chengyi, who was struggling, sighed with emotion.
After dinner, Li's mother cleaned up and washed the dishes. Li Xiaoyu took Li's father and said that there is an excuse to let the second brother teach literacy first, and then go to school after a few years.
After all, I have learned it before, there is no need to go to school with a group of children, and said that I want to study medicine with Li’s father.
Li Xiaoyu thought to himself, I don't want to go to school with a bunch of little kids with runny noses and wiping their noses.
They are all from the old aunt, no matter how you pretend, they still can't accept it, sitting with a bunch of little kids.
After Li Xiaoyu's lobbying and humiliation, he finally persuaded his family and agreed to go to school later.
In addition to being happy, he threw out this ancient medical book and boxing manual to Father Li, and ran away!
Father Li looked at the book in his hand in disbelief, and quickly closed it as soon as he opened it.
Holding down the book and looking outside nervously, he gently flipped through the medical book in his hand as if he had found a treasure.
These are medical records and ancient prescription notes left by a certain imperial doctor in the previous dynasty.
He flipped through another book, it was a foreign boxing technique, which made him feel tight.
"Little Yu'er, come in for me!"
With a violent roar, Li Xiaoyu shrank his head and rubbed his head in fright.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Hey, that one has a lot of books that I want to show you.
You are so powerful that you can protect me better, right? "
"Since you are so kind, from tomorrow onwards, get up at five o'clock every morning, go to the bamboo forest behind to practice martial arts, and don't run away."
"Dad, I'm still young!" Li Xiaoyu wailed.
"Learning martial arts starts with a doll, so you can't run away.
Li Xiaoyu screamed: "Ow..."
"Old man, isn't that easy to sell? When are we going to get more to sell in the town?"
"Good sale, when I have a rest, I will go on the hour.
There are many people in the town when they go to the market, so it must be easy to sell. "
Father Li put away the book with bright eyes and said to his family.
"Everyone pack up and take a bath, go to bed early, get up early tomorrow morning, don't run away!"
Father Li frowned and pondered what he had to do to make the eldest son no longer the fate of the previous life.
As a family, there are too many things to prepare, and it is difficult for people to pay attention!
