The fish pond of the brigade is at the intersection at the end of the village and the junction of the rice field.
When Han Cheng and a few cubs followed Xiaobao to the fish pond of the brigade, there were already several people occupying positions there.
The good location in Xiaobao's mouth is the road, because only the side of the road can be seen clearly without going down, but the fish pond is so big, and the side close to the road is just so small, Xiaobao rushed over, As soon as the small stool is put down, it occupies a good position.
The three children formed a circle, and Han Cheng placed the fire cage between them: "rub your hands together and put it on top to keep warm."
Xiaodoubao struggled to get down, and Xiaozhuzi said, "Uncle Han, give me Xiaodoubao, and I'll sit with him, it's not cold."
Han Cheng put Xiaodoubao in Xiaozhuzi's arms, and he picked up the rice ball and sat on his stool.
Some members recognized Hancheng, but Hancheng was so aura that they didn't dare to come over to talk to him, but soon his eyes were drawn to a few children dressed in the same padded jackets and looked like pink and jade, staring at him. Look at the children, forgot to even gossip.
"Little treasure, little treasure..."
Xiaobao followed the source of the sound and looked over, and his classmates were also coming. When he saw the dirty slugs coming to Di, Xiaobao couldn't help but frown.
A black and dark boy who had a very good relationship with Xiaobao ran over, and when they saw the rice ball, they all widened their eyes and looked at it a few more times. When they turned to Han Cheng, they were stunned for a while, and then quickly took a few steps back.
Xiaobao frowned even more: "Goddam, what are you doing? My uncle is fine and not scary."
Goudan swallowed and waved to him while avoiding Han Cheng's gaze.
Xiaobao said: "There are no secrets in our family. Rice balls, pillars, and beanbags are my good brothers. You have something to say here."
Goudan said: "Everyone in your family looks good.
Xiaobao loosened his frown and said proudly, "Of course it is."
Goudan opened the door, and the daring old aunt got excited: "Xiaobao, these are your aunt's... eh, are your cousins?"
Xiaobao nodded vigorously and said proudly, "Yes, this tall and handsome man is my uncle. They are both my aunt and uncle's children."
Xiaobao never felt that Zhuzi was not a child of his aunt's family. To him, they were all the same.
Han Cheng nodded towards the old aunt: "Hello, I'm Han Cheng."
Onigiri and Zhuzi also bowed their eyes and said hello: "Hello, Auntie."
The old aunt was called a few years younger by this "Auntie", and she was instantly elated: "Hello, how are you? It's so good and polite. Auntie, do you want melon seeds here?"
The old aunt thought that the children in the city were all arrogant, but she didn't expect to be so approachable.
The rice ball shook his head: "No thanks, auntie, eat it yourself."
The old aunt looked at a good-looking child with admiration: "Comrade Han's three sons are good-looking and good-looking. It's a blessing."
Han Cheng is not good at gossiping, and he is not the kind of person who likes to chat with strangers. He politely said "I'm very lucky, thank you" and stopped talking.
The old aunt also knows that people have nothing to talk about with her. She is the only person here who can talk to the famous "Director Han" and his children, which makes her happy enough.
More and more members came to see the fish, and there were people standing on the ridge on the main road.
Liu Shuixian didn't know when he came. He still felt uneasy when he saw Han Cheng. It would be better to look at the children next to him. What if he was handsome? Isn't Su Xiaoxiao's life as a nanny after marrying someone? Taking care of several children by one person can't be fooled every day, maybe he will become a yellow-faced woman in two years.
It was really cold, so Su Weimin instructed everyone to open more water outlets, clear the water as soon as possible, and use a net to keep the fish from running out.
There are fire cages here in Hancheng, but it is not cold. The members who did not bring fire cages could not resist. Several fires were built on the road and on the ridges. Fortunately, there is not much snow, and it can still be lit if it is covered. Everyone They are all around the fire waiting for the fish to come out.
Goudan and Laidi grabbed some rice and put it in the fire. When the fire crackled and the yellow rice turned into white rice crackers, they pulled it out with a stick and ate it.
Goudan grabbed a handful and asked Xiaobao if they would eat it.
Onigiri and Zhuzi couldn't sit still, and were about to go to the fire to play with them when they heard Su Weimin shout, "Fish!"
The attention of Han Cheng and the children was pulled back, and they quickly looked at the fish pond. When they saw the bottom of the fish pond, there was a black-gray and delicate mash underneath. I didn't know whether it was an Anhui fish, a fat head fish, or a crucian carp twisting in it. Some people jumped out of the mud to breathe fresh air because of the lack of oxygen, and when they flipped their tails, they revealed their white fish stomachs, which merged with the growing snow in the air, and then they couldn’t resist the ground. Gravity quickly fell back, and some members were splashed with mud by them, but they were still smiling.
When the fish jumped up, Xiaodoubao rolled his eyes and clapped with joy, the rice ball and the pillar couldn't help but "wow wow", the rice ball said: "Xiaobao, it's really like what you said, the fish will jump up like a dance. See the white belly."
Xiaobao nodded: "If it's a little warmer, they can jump higher. When it's cold, few can jump up. They used to jump up in groups."
Zhuzi said, "It's so pretty when a school of fish jumps up."
Xiaobao: "It's so pretty!"
The joy of the harvest can withstand all the severe cold, and the faces of the members are all filled with satisfied smiles. This year, if you can get a few more fish, you can finally have a fat year.
Although Han Cheng knew that life in the countryside was difficult, he had never lived in the countryside before, and he could not absolutely empathize with it. However, today he was also infected with the joy of this bumper harvest and was happy for them.
The rural life is simple and simple, and their happiness is very simple. A handful of popcorn rice in the hands of the children and one fish for the whole family are enough to make them happy for a long time.
An umbrella suddenly appeared on Han Cheng's head, and when he turned his head, it was his lover's smiling face with Xiao Liwu.
Han Cheng also laughed. His happiness is actually very simple. The smile of his lover and the smile of his children are all his happiness.
Han Cheng didn't care about the presence of others, he stretched out his hand to take the umbrella in Su Xiaoxiao's hand, and pulled her to stand in front of him: "How come it's so cold?"
Su Xiaoxiao also came with a full set of weapons and a fire cage, and did not feel particularly cold: "You guys have been out for too long, I'll come and take a look."
The children were very happy when they saw Su Xiaoxiao coming. They talked around her and talked about how the fish jumped up, which fish twisted its tail, which fish turned its white belly, and which fish was given to her by grandfather. I caught it, which one ran away again...
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the hard-working people below and the joy of the harvest on their faces, and couldn't help bending her eyes.
Everyone dared not speak to Han Cheng, and when they saw Su Xiaoxiao, they couldn't help but praise her:
"Xiaoxiao is really getting more and more beautiful."
"Yeah, still getting younger and younger, like an eighteen-year-old girl."
"A few children in your family are also very rare. How do you raise them? People in the city raise children differently from us, aren't they?"
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and answered one by one, without the slightest impatience.
The number of people is strong, and the fish that meet the specifications are quickly taken out, and the small fish that do not meet the regulations are put back to continue raising, and they are fished up after they are fattened.
Su Weimin and Su Zhenhua came up from the fish pond, and Su Xiaoxiao walked over with the fire cage: "Dad, second brother, please warm up your hands first, it's too cold today."
Instead, Su Weimin walked away: "Dad's work is not cold, I'm dirty, daughter, stay away, don't stain your clothes."
Su Zhenhua also said cheerfully: "Xiaoxiao, work is not cold, it is cold when you sit still. The fish will be divided soon. If you feel cold, go back first."
"I'll help you keep the accounts." Su Xiaoxiao turned out to be helping the team keep centimeters, and she was very familiar with this task.
Su Weimin shook his head: "There are educated youths who specialize in memorizing centimeters. You don't have to. Dad will go back when he is done, and you should go back quickly."
The little rice ball came over, pointed to the fat head fish curiously and asked, "Grandpa, what kind of fish is this?"
The rice ball had seen Anhui fish and crucian carp, but had never seen a fat head fish. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but Su Xiaoxiao stopped him.
Su Weimin said: "The fat-headed fish has a big head, and the flesh on its body is not as much as that of the Anhui fish, and the flesh is not firm. Everyone doesn't like it, but this year it is the fattest."
Fat fish head is a good thing, Su Xiaoxiao thinks of the steamed fish head with chopped pepper and makes his mouth drool: "Dad, let's order more fat head fish, I like fish head."
The girl's request, Su Weimin, has never been rejected, and nodded: "Okay, my girl likes to eat, then I will order more fat head fish."
"Then grandpa, which one is the pond squid?" Zhuzi was most curious about the pond squid in Xiaobao's mouth.
Su Weimin shook his head: "No, it's only in the rice fields. You can see it when you come back from summer vacation."
Su Weimin was so busy that he was called away after a few words.
A few children were happy to see the fish, and walked in the front with small stools, Han Cheng was holding Xiaodoubao, Su Xiaoxiao was holding an umbrella, and the family went home happily.
Liu Shuixian couldn't believe what she saw in front of her eyes. Su Xiaoxiao married Han Cheng for half a year, not because she imagined that she would become a yellow-faced woman in the days of chickens and dogs, but she became a reborn woman. All the city people I have seen are exquisite and beautiful city girls, no matter how she dresses or looks, she is no longer the village girl from Sujia Village.
The children were all clean, beautiful and well-behaved city children. The children looked at her with trusting eyes. It would be hard to do without the stepmother she imagined. Those who didn't know it thought they were all her own.
She had only seen the dress on her body worn by the daughters of the wealthy and powerful families in the city who had left the country, and the look in her eyes from Han Cheng, who cared for her so much...
Liu Shuixian is not blind, no matter how she tries to deceive herself that Su Xiaoxiao has a bad life, she is deceiving herself. It can be said that she has lived the life that all women dream of.
Liu Shuixian is uneasy, why is it not her? It was obvious that they had a blind date with Hancheng, why didn't Hancheng choose her? If her husband hadn't died and she followed the army, would she be able to live the same life as Su Xiaoxiao is now?
Other members who did not have to wait in line to divide the fish also rushed home one after another. At the fork in the road, Han Cheng looked at the figure of the person in front of him and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
When he and Su Xiaoxiao got married, almost all the people who came to the production team were there. Maybe they had seen him at that time. Seeing that man walked into the back yard of the old Su's house, Han Cheng thought it was the production team. The people in the team didn't take it to heart anymore.
Li Yufeng told Xiaobao not to say hello to the grandparents living in the back yard outside, and to pretend not to know each other, otherwise he would get into trouble.
Xiaobao listened to his grandmother's words, even though he knew them well, he pretended not to see them when he saw them outside, and would not come forward to say hello. This was also a tacit understanding between them.
Han Cheng just passed them by.
