The time came to 1953, Lin Fubao was three years old, Xue Yaya was two years old, Xue Qianyan was three years old, and Xue Qianren was also three years old. Because of Lei's fishing, the Xue family's life improved significantly. The villagers were envious and jealous, and said all kinds of things, but they just couldn't catch any fish. What could they do?

Fortunately, the grandchildren of the Lin family often catch fish. Whenever someone talks about the good fortune of the Xue family, Xue Yaya is grateful to the Lin family. Xiao Meiniang's anxiety gradually faded, but she was entangled when she saw the tanned Xue Yaya. During dinner on the evening of March 3, Xiao Meiniang used warm water to soak Xue Yaya's hands and apply it on her face. She also took the "Waizui Oil" bought in the city to help her apply it on her face and hands. Xue Yunyun helped Xue Qianyan wash on the side. Bai Xiuying saw Xue Duoduo's envious eyes and didn't take it seriously.

Xue Yaya said, "Mom, please help my eldest sister and second sister to wash once. They are really envious of me and my third sister."

Xiao Meiniang paused and glanced at her daughter-in-law. Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, she said directly, "Xiuying, change the basin of hot water. I will help my two big and good granddaughters to wash themselves."

Bai Xiuying couldn't possibly trouble her mother-in-law. She helped Xue Yaya wash because she was young and easy to fool. Yunyun and Duoduo were grown-up girls, so why did they still... She wanted to say no, let them wash themselves. She looked up and saw Xue Yunyun's sparkling eyes, then looked at Xue Duoduo's lowered head, and changed her mind:

"Mom, let me do it! It's been several years, I want to serve my eldest and second daughters for once."

Xiao Meiniang looked at Xue Yunyun and Xue Duoduo's happy expressions and touched Xue Yaya's nose with her finger. Xue Xiaoxiao fell asleep as soon as she got on the bed because she was too tired during the day. Now she was woken up and asked Bai Xiuying to help her wash again.

Xue Shanhong was outside the door listening to the noise in the house with a smile on his face. Why does this person love home so much? Isn't it just for a lively and homely life?

Xue Yaya looked at her sister's bright smile and was happy herself. She was naughty and splashed water in the basin with her feet. Xiao Meiniang looked at the splashing water and was about to say something when she saw Xue Yaya lose her balance and lean back and then rush forward. As Bai Xiuying screamed, the whole wooden basin fell apart.

Xue Shanhong and Xue Lier, who had just returned from fishing, panicked and rushed outside, asking nervously, "What happened? What happened?"

When Xue Shanhong saw the bloody wound on Xue Yaya's little foot, his heart almost melted. On the little foot, which was smaller than the palm of a hand, there was a three or four centimeter cut on the sole of the foot, which had already scabbed over, and there were many small wounds on the toes. He was afraid that he was too heavy-handed, so he specially brought the medicine to Xiao Meiniang: "Yaya Grandma, apply some medicine to Yaya!"

Xiao Meiniang and the others looked at the scab-covered feet and looked at Xue Shanhong speechlessly. Xue Yaya shrank her feet nervously. With so many people watching, she would be embarrassed!

"My Lord, no need for medicine!"

She said to Xueli Er who was standing at the door with the same worry: "Dad, you're back. I'm fine."

"Dad, you're back. There's hot water on the stove. Go wash up!"

After Bai Xiuying finished serving the little ancestors, she felt sorry for her husband and quickly stood up to serve him. Xiao Meiniang also said with concern: "You can sell for a day tomorrow and rest later."

"Why do we need to rest, Mom? We can buy dozens of kilograms of rice in one day."

If I really let him go, he would be heartbroken.

"Yaya's feet are injured. Stay at home tomorrow..."

"Grandma, I don't have to walk by myself!"

"You can't run to the river every day. You're still young. You'll have to go to school in two years..."

Xiao Meiniang was a little worried. Yaya was so smart, what would happen in the future?

At first, she thought Yaya was just learning the elementary school curriculum in advance. Later, after carefully reading Yaya's notes and the books brought back by Xue Lier, she realized that her granddaughter was actually reading professional books on engineering. She only flipped through the poetry books brought back by Xue Lier at the beginning, and later she was too busy to flip through the books. Also, because Xue Yaya had slept in the east room with her three sisters, her books were also moved there, so Xiao Meiniang only realized her granddaughter's IQ now.

A few years later, when everyone else was in primary school, how would Xue Yaya's studies be arranged? With no precedent and no means to protect her, Xiao Meiniang began to worry about her little granddaughter.

"Grandma, you're right. I can't go fishing every day. My dad sells more fish than he catches. I was lucky before, but I can't be lucky forever."

Xue Yaya wrinkled her little head and said, "You can only gain if you give up something!"

"What are you giving up?" Xue Shanhong said distressedly, "Yaya, just go to sleep and let us handle this ourselves! You little kid won't grow tall if you worry so much!"

A word of warning - Xue Yaya successfully remembered her height in her previous life and immediately shook her head and said, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, I want to sleep!"

Xue Yunyun and the others, who had been quiet the whole time, started laughing. Xue Qianyan, who had already fallen asleep, was carried to the small bed in Xue Shanhong's room.

Bai Xiuying said with some disappointment: "How come the child doesn't stick to us at all now that he has grown up?"

Xueli Er said, "Why aren't they sticky? Didn't I ask you to clean them at night?"

"There's no child to sleep with us now! Look at Qianyan, Yaya won't sleep with us!"

"Qianyan is a boy!"

"What about Yaya?!"

Children grow up and no longer follow their mothers. These little ones haven't grown wings yet, and they all have to sleep on their own! Bai Xiuying couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. This is how all mothers are.

"Ya Ya!" Xue Li Er scratched his head: "She wanted to sleep with her second sister."

Fearing that the children would be uncomfortable if they were squeezed together, Xuelier specially built another bed in the east room when Xue Yaya wanted to sleep in a separate bed after the Dragon Boat Festival. The bed was made by Lin Zhiyuan's second uncle, and both beds were new. The old bed board was directly cut into a single bed and placed in Xueshanhong's room.

He also wanted Yaya to continue sleeping with them, because of the sweet smell of milk. But Yaya insisted, and he had no choice. If Xue Yaya knew that they were so entangled, she would definitely be embarrassed. She knew about the affairs of young men and women, but as a little girl, hearing her parents being intimate with her own ears, it was really a Shura scene!

In addition to pretending to be asleep, you also have to endure the creaking and shaking bed. It’s okay if you can endure it once, but if it happens twice or three times, please spare me, parents!

Xue Yunyun originally wanted to take care of Xue Yaya, but Xue Xiaoxiao's sleeping posture was amazing. She would sleep with her head facing east before going to bed, but when she woke up early, she could sleep in any direction! Xue Duoduo was very annoyed. Now that she had the opportunity to sleep separately from her third sister, how could she miss this opportunity? !

Xue Yunyun was good-tempered and let her second sister choose someone, and took Xue Xiaoxiao to sleep with her. Unexpectedly, Xue Xiaoxiao felt much more at ease.

Xue Duoduo couldn't understand. Xue Yaya, who had woken up early and was tired, said, "Second sister, why do you have to recite before going to bed at night?"

She was so annoyed by the noise that she wanted to hide away, but her second sister liked to hug her to sleep. She finished listening to "Hundred Family Names" and then listened to "Thousand Character Classic" again, from Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li to Tiandi Xuanhuang. God knows she was tortured to the point of going crazy!

Xue Xiaoxiao sat up and said, "Second sister, let me tell you, when I was sleeping, I always heard someone reading next to me. I was so sleepy that I wanted to sleep, but she kept reading. I couldn't hide away, so I turned around!"

Xue Yunyun thought about it and realized that she seemed to be able to hear her second sister's voice, but she slept more soundly, and she looked the same after waking up as before going to bed.

Xue Duoduo was a little embarrassed: "I'm just reciting some books."

"You're holding me so tight!" Xue Yaya said aggrievedly, "I can't get out of your arms even if I want to!"

She felt like a hairy crab that was tied up tightly, or a frog whose belly was pinched.

Xue Duoduo smiled apologetically and said to Xue Yaya in a flattering manner: "Yaya, I will help you put on your clothes!"

Xue Yaya said with a wooden face: "Second sister, it's so hot, why should I wear clothes?"

She has put on her clothes by herself!

However, Xue Yaya finally got together with Xue Duoduo. She was unwilling to return to the main house to sleep with her parents!

Xue Yaya, who had a foot injury, was detained by Xiao Meiniang and continued to live a life of sleeping fairy in the morning and studying in the afternoon. The next day, watching Xue Qianyan slide down the tree for the umpteenth time, Xue Yaya said boredly: "Brother, can't you climb with Brother Qianren?"

"Take it?"

What does "搭着" mean? Xue Qianyan and Xue Qianren looked at Xue Yaya blankly and then at each other. This sentence was beyond the scope of the text and they didn't understand it.

Xue Yaya waved her hands in loneliness. She decided to continue to recite her books! She didn’t think she was a genius. Moreover, because of the background of the times, she had decided to choose science. For the sake of a stable job in the future, she had to study hard from now on. The early bird catches the worm. Her method of learning science and engineering is usually to read books and examples first, remember the formulas and examples, and then slowly digest them. Unfortunately, Xue Lier didn’t recognize many words, and it was not easy to find a suitable book. It took her a month to find a seventh-grade physics book, and the related exercises were even more difficult. There was also a book called "Pauli Physics". With Xue Yaya's IQ, she couldn't understand it at all. She was really in tears.

While thinking about when she could go and buy the book herself, she heard the cheers of Xue Qianxiang and other children. Xue Yaya moved her ears. What did she hear?

"Fish, sister, fish!"

Xue Yaya instinctively felt that it was related to her family, so she sat up immediately and heard Li Gen, the second son of the Mao family, say, "There are several in that ditch, and there are more. Go and get them!"

For a moment, the adults working in the fields became restless and ran to the ditch on the east side of the field to watch. Xue Yaya told Xue Qianyan and Xue Qianren, "Don't go! They'll drown!"

The two little brothers didn't dare to move when she yelled at them.

Xiao Meiniang and Xue Shanhong also came under the tree. Xue Shanhong praised them, "We are so young and patient!"

"You two boys are not bad!" Xue Shanhong patted the heads of his two grandsons (Xue Qianren is a clan grandson), "Good boy!"

The two little fools were so anxious, but they couldn't help but feel proud of their grandfather's praise. Xiao Meiniang saw that everyone was gathering around, so she glanced at Xueshanhong and asked, "How many are there?"

"With so many people, there should be at least seven or eight things to say!"

Xue Shanhong guessed that Lao Er had not put it evenly in the morning, and he was a little worried: "I'll go take a look!"

Seeing that it was almost noon, Xiao Meiniang and Bai Xiuying, who came later, simply took the children home to make lunch. Xue Qianren followed them home. Qin, who arrived late, went to the ditch to watch the fun without any worry.

Xue Shanhong didn't come back until dinner time. Xiao Meiniang was puzzled to see him looking depressed: "What's wrong?"

The old man looked up at his wife, opened his mouth to speak, struggled for a while, and finally said: "My second brother seems to have become more refined!"

Xue Yaya ignored the little brothers who were playing and looked at Xue Shanhong curiously: "My grandfather?"

Xiao Meiniang didn't ask any more questions, but gestured with her chin: "Talk to Yaya, don't make the child anxious!"

It’s true that she is a villain!

Xue Shanhong carried his granddaughter directly to the main room and sat down. He also considerately picked up a handful of pumpkin seeds for her and slowly peeled them for her to eat.

Xue Yaya opened her eyes wide and said, "My grandfather, did my father divide the fish among the others?"

Xue Shanhong nodded: "It's not surprising if everyone has it?"

"Divided into ditches every day?"

"Put some in the east and some in the west, your father is still in the mountains." Besides: "Not many people in the town or the city know your father."

"My father took the net?"

Xue Yaya frowned: "Isn't the fish injured?"

Xue Shanhong glared and said, "So grandpa said your father has become a smart man."

He just remembered that the fish that Lao Er had caught before were all injured. Wouldn't throwing them into the ditch arouse more suspicion? He went to see the fish just now, and they were all intact. He breathed a sigh of relief, but was also thinking that Lao Er had thought of it before him.

"How did you catch your father?"

Xue Yaya thought of the bamboo cage in the backyard that was a little damp this morning: "Let's put the cage down. The fish can't get out once they get in."

"It's not like there won't be any injuries."

The cage is made of bamboo strips!

“Pick the good ones!”

That was the only way - "When did your father rest?"

Xue Yaya also felt distressed: "My grandfather, my family can't be a fishmonger, let my father take a break!"

She looked at the chickens running around in the yard and said, "Raise a few more chickens and geese. I heard rabbits are also easy to raise. Anything is better than this."

Fishing is free, but it is very scary. Being a thief all day long makes you unable to sleep well even during the day! Her father is certainly not a thief, but it is also very laborious for her father to catch fish and sell fish secretly. Compared with last year, Xueli Er has obviously become much older.

"What about the fish?"

Xue Shanhong also knew that Xue Li Er was having a hard time, but the fish in the pond seemed endless, and it was difficult for him to give them up easily.

"We can make some money occasionally. It's nice to have fun together like today."

Although Xue Yaya was not as worried as Xiao Meiniang, she was still worried about this ownerless property.

"We have been selling for so long, and we haven't gotten enough bargains, but we can't be too greedy."

Honest people are like this. There is a reason why they cannot make a fortune. They may feel happy if they take a little advantage, but they will be scared if they take too much advantage. But the Xue family knows when to stop, which is, in a sense, to leave room for themselves.

Xue Shanhong looked at his granddaughter and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's sell it until the end of the year. There won't be many fish caught before the New Year, so we won't catch them every day!"
