At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.
Chapter 3 The chicken is crazy and the fish is stupid
"Ouch! Did the Zheng family boss find some money? He grinned to the back of his ears!" A chattering woman standing under the big willow tree at the head of the village joked when she saw Boss Zheng walking over.
"I'm afraid I may have another fat son!" Another woman also said.
"No, the child born to the Zheng family must be a boy!"
When Boss Zheng heard this, he was very proud. He chuckled and said, "Hey, my wife gave birth to twins this time. I have a daughter!"
"I'm going to catch fish and make soup for my wife to replenish her body. I won't chat with you any more!" After saying that, he left cheerfully carrying the big bucket. He was so proud that he could walk with wind.
Everyone knew that the eldest daughter-in-law of Lao Zheng's family had given birth last night, but because of the night of rain, no one asked about the baby boy or girl. When they heard that they were twins, some people were envious and others were upset!
"The Zheng family is really lucky. There are many fat boys born in a row. This time they are even more powerful. They are still twins!"
"No, the Zheng family has never given birth to a female baby. Now that we have a new baby girl, I think she will be pampered like a treasure!"
"What kind of luck? It's bad luck. The poor can barely eat, and they still have so many babies! Girls are losers, why should they be pampered!" Du Yuehong didn't like other people's good deeds, and she demeaned the Zheng family in words, but in her heart I was bubbling with envy.
"You can say sour grapes when you can't eat them!" Everyone knew what kind of virtue she was, and they all ignored her!
Over at Lao Zheng's house, Meihua rolled up her sleeves and prepared to enter the chicken pen to catch chickens, with a little son following behind her.
Unexpectedly, after entering, I saw two old hens nesting there quietly and obediently, motionless, and did not move when they saw people walking by.
Mei Hua curiously picked up the fatter one and was about to leave, but she found that the chicken coop was full of eggs, which made Mei Hua's eyes almost pop out of her eyes in surprise.
She put the chicken on the ground, picked up another chicken, and found another nest full of eggs. She was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She was just surprised and her mind couldn't spin anymore!
Mei Hua was stunned for a long time, then she patted her face with her hands and realized that she was not dreaming. She was so happy that she almost jumped up.
"Son, quickly bring the basket over there and help mother pick up the eggs." He twisted his thigh again, throbbing in pain, and then smiled stupidly.
This chicken laid all the eggs for a year! Usually I don't see another one for seven or eight days. Now this chicken is probably crazy. It doesn't matter if it is crazy or not, as long as it has eggs. The more Mei Hua thought about it, the happier she became.
"Mom, eggs, eat eggs." Although Xiao Shan was young, he knew they were delicious when he saw so many eggs.
"Eat, there will definitely be eggs to eat today." With so many eggs, my mother-in-law will definitely let the whole family eat eggs. Her mother-in-law is the most generous mother-in-law in the village and the best to her daughter-in-law.
Meihua took the basket pulled by her son and carefully picked the eggs in. The more she picked them up, the more she became frightened. The eggs were so big. She didn't know what she had been feeding the chickens during this time. One egg was bigger than the previous two.
After picking up the eggs from the two nests, I picked up a full basket. Mei Hua held the basket in one hand excitedly. Holding his son in one hand, he walked to Zhou's room.
"Mother-mother-" Before she even entered the door, Mei Hua started shouting at the top of her lungs.
When Mrs. Zhou heard calling her, she walked out of the house and saw Mei Hua carrying a basket of white eggs, which frightened her.
He grabbed her and asked, "Where did you get so many eggs? Were you robbing them?"
After hearing this, Mei Hua waved her hands quickly. How could she have the courage to say, "No, mother, our chickens are crazy. They laid all the eggs for a year. They were all picked from the chicken coop." She said with a giggle.
When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she looked at Mei Hua suspiciously, "You're not lying? We only have two chickens at home, and they lay so many eggs in one night?"
"Really mother, I didn't lie to you, I was shocked when I saw it." No one would believe this, but it is the truth.
Mrs. Zhou also knew that Mei Hua would not lie and who her daughter-in-law was. She had already touched the door and found it clear, but she still couldn't calm down after seeing so many eggs.
As soon as Father Zheng came back from the back garden, he saw something was wrong in the atmosphere and hurriedly walked forward, "What's going on?"
The mother and son looked at the basket of eggs in unison, "Our chickens laid a bunch of eggs."
When Father Zheng saw it, without saying a word, he slapped his thigh again in excitement, "This must be our little koi that brings good luck. Our family is going to be lucky."
Zhou and Meihua looked at each other, dumbfounded. There really were people who were not curious at all and believed it calmly.
"Mom, are you still killing the chicken?" Meihua asked cautiously.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at Father Zheng, saw him shaking his head, and said, "I won't kill him for now. I won't sell these eggs. I'll give them to Wan Niang to eat first."
"Hey, okay." Meihua happily carried the eggs into the house. She didn't want to kill the chicken anymore. Why, just in case a bunch of eggs were laid tomorrow.
"It's fine as long as our family knows about this, but we can't tell it to anyone, not even to my parents' family." If outsiders knew about this, they would definitely be jealous.
When Mei Hua heard this, she patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, mother, you won't say a word about it once you leave our house."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. Make some eggs and fry them with leeks for lunch to add to the family."
"Okay, Mom, I'm going to cut leeks right now." Meihua pulled her little son and ran excitedly to the vegetable garden.
"Mom, where is our bucket?" I saw Xiao Wu running back from outside with several other boys.
"What are you looking for a bucket for?"
"We just saw our eldest brother carrying a bucket to catch fish. We want to go too."
"Yes, we also want to catch fish for my little sister to eat."
It's good to catch one, but there's no need for a bucket. Mrs. Zhou pointed to the corner and ignored them. As long as they didn't cause trouble, she could just let them play if they wanted to.
Each of the boys carried a small bucket and dispersed like wild horses that had escaped the reins.
Boss Zheng was taking off his shoes and shirtless, ready to touch from one end of the ditch to the other. If he touched each other, he would always catch him.
As a result, he had just entered the water and before he had taken two steps, something hit his leg. Subconsciously, I bent down and fished it out with my hands. I was dumbfounded!
Fish, turned out to be a fish!
It's quite small, weighing two or three pounds, and he really caught a fish. I didn’t have high hopes at first, but it was like a dream. Fish came to my door as soon as I entered the water!
Mr. Zheng laughed happily, put the fish into the bucket, and then moved forward.
Before he could take two steps forward, something suddenly wrapped around his leg, something slippery, made Boss Zheng feel cold and startled.
"Mom! It can't be a snake!" He quickly bent down and grabbed it. After a closer look, it turned out to be a big eel. He almost threw it away.
Boss Zheng broke into a cold sweat, and then he became happy.
This big yellow eel is also a good thing, it tastes even better when fried! Boss Zheng took a handful of water and washed his face. He opened the door and was more excited to touch fish.
So he bent down and touched forward carefully. Then, something touched his hand?
I grabbed it out of conditioned reflex, picked it up and saw it was another fish! It’s a small crucian carp weighing about half a catty!
Boss Zheng put the fish into the bucket and already accepted the fact that the fish was stupid.
He must be stupid. If he wasn't stupid, how could he hit it in the palm of his hand? The smile on his lips never stopped.
"Brother, I'm here to help you catch fish too!"
"Dad! We are coming too!"
"Uncle, let's help you pick up fish!"
Several children rushed to Boss Zheng, took off their clothes in the blink of an eye, and were about to jump into the ditch!
"Good boy, you knew I could catch fish today, right? Come on, let's fill up the buckets and go back today! Hahaha~" Boss Zheng was even happier!
Xiaowu, Xiaoxiang, and Xiaorui jumped into the ditch with a splash, grinning happily!
"Xiao Zhong and Xiao Cheng, please don't come down. Watch the bucket and don't let the fish jump out!"
"Uncle, did you really catch a fish?" The little guys hurriedly came to the bucket to take a look.
"Wow! Two fishes! Uncle, you are so awesome!"
"That's right, no matter who your uncle is, I'll let you eat meat tonight!" Boss Zheng laughed happily.
Because their family has a large population and is relatively poor, they cannot afford to eat meat all year round. These little guys haven’t eaten fish yet. Let’s catch more today and let them have a taste!
"Brother, what is this?" Xiao Wu raised the thing in his hand to show Boss Zheng.
"Ouch! Loach, that's a loach. I didn't expect there to be loaches! Catch more and I'll fry them for you tonight."
"Hey, that's great!" Children are not greedy. When they heard that there was food, they worked even harder.
"Wow! Dad, fish, I caught a fish, it jumped into my arms!" Xiao Xiang was extremely excited, holding a grass carp weighing about two kilograms.
"Brother Xiang, throw it up quickly, let's put it in the bucket!" The little guy by the ditch jumped up with excitement when he saw that there was another fish!
"Come on, go on! I also caught one here!" Boss Zheng also caught a fish and threw it to the ditch.
"Brother, come here quickly, there are so many fish here!" Xiao Wu shouted in surprise!
Boss Zheng walked over and couldn't help shouting, "Mom! Have all these fish taken root in this ditch? Why are there so many fish here!"
"Xiao Zhong, pass me a bucket!"
"Okay! Go on!"
Boss Zheng took the bucket and filled it with fish and water, "Another bucket!"
This is no longer catching fish, this is pretending to be fish! Not to mention these boys, Boss Zheng has never seen so many fish, and he has had enough of catching fish in his life.
It wasn't until all the buckets were filled that Boss Zheng and the boys washed themselves clean and went up to put on their clothes.
Not wanting to be too conspicuous by bringing it back like this, Boss Zheng pulled some grass from the edge of the ditch to cover it, and then asked a few boys to go back from the back of the village.
Boss Zheng led these boys into the door sneakily and quickly locked the door! "Xiao Wu, go call your mother!"
"Mom! Come out quickly! Come and see!" Xiao Wu shouted excitedly at the top of his lungs.
"What's wrong? What's your name?" Several people who were working in the kitchen, including Father Zheng and Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zheng, all came out.
"Dad, what do you think this is?" He said and took off all the grass covering the buckets. There were six buckets of fish in large and small buckets.
The whole family was stunned. They had not yet digested the egg matter, but now they no longer knew what to say.
Boss Zheng looked at them dumbfounded one by one, and felt even more proud. "Awesome, I took these boys to capture these."
"Yes, we caught them all, and I even caught a loach!"
"There are fishes jumping into my arms!"
"Hahaha~ I just said that our family is going to have good luck! Quickly, clean up the fish first, add some fish soup for lunch, and eat them all!" Father Zheng was very happy, and he became more and more convinced that the little koi was the one who brought the fish with him. Comes with blessing.
Zhou didn't say anything. Although she said it was a good thing, she was a little worried. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. We can only take one step at a time!
"Oh! Eat fish! Eat fish!" Several children jumped happily.
"Old lady, go and ask your eldest brother to have a meal with you later!" Father Zheng wanted to ask his eldest brother to have a good meal together.
"I've been there a long time ago, but he's not at home." I had harvested a bunch of eggs, and wanted to have dinner with my eldest brother at noon, but the door was locked and I didn't know where the person was.
"Then leave him alone. Wait for him to come back and give him some."
"Okay, let's see when he comes back tonight to deliver it to him!" Mrs. Zhou said and hurried off.
The Zheng family started dinner a little late today, but there were fish, eggs, and wild vegetables dug by the children. The family gathered together and had the best meal ever, which was better than anything they had during the Chinese New Year.
The family tacitly agreed not to mention the eggs and fish anymore, but everyone knew that they must keep it a secret and that the wealth should not be exposed. This is the most basic thing.
Little did we know that good times are yet to come, and meat will be indispensable on the table from now on.
