"I haven't had potato stewed rice for a long time. It's so delicious. I want another bowl."

After more than an hour of busy work, everyone finally had their meal.

Wang An's sudden sigh made people laugh. I wonder if there was ever a meal in which he didn't eat more than two bowls of rice?

"I want two bowls too, I guess?"

When Lele heard what his father said, he simply followed suit.

Eat what's in the bowl and look at what's in the pot!

"Then eat quickly, I'll leave it for you."

Lele would become a rice dregs from time to time, so when Chen Qiong heard him say he wanted to eat two bowls, she would encourage him.

"Okay, I'll eat harder!"

After hearing this, Lele became more motivated to eat.

He fed it into his little mouth spoonful by spoonful. It looked delicious.

At this time, my aunt came over.

She was wearing a flowery jacket, looking like she was dressed for the New Year.

"I just came back and saw your car. Come to our house for dinner tonight!"

She invited me very warmly.

"Okay, come at one o'clock then."

"It's right for people to come in the evening. Don't bring anything else. Okay, I'm leaving. I have to tell the second brother in his room."

My aunt-in-law does things cleanly and efficiently, and leaves as soon as she finishes her words.

Even Chen Qiong didn't have time to ask her if she had eaten.

He walks very fast and you can tell at first glance that he is a hardworking person.

As for not bringing anything, it’s because when visiting relatives, we always bring some small gifts, either a box of milk or a gift box or something like that.

It's like this during the Chinese New Year.

But this is also very troublesome to deal with. If someone brings it to your house, you have to return the favor.

As a result, I didn’t eat the gift boxes at home. Later on, I just wrote down the things that others brought, then changed them and sent them to other people’s homes.

This is really a test of the hostess's brain. If she is not careful, she will get something wrong.

My aunt-in-law is good at farm work, but she is not good at remembering this.

Since coming back, my aunt-in-law no longer asks me to carry things.

"Then Qiwa, let's go help earlier!"

"Ok."

Before I finished my meal, I saw Lady Shi walking around with a bowl of rice.

People in rural areas sometimes feel it is too boring to eat alone, so they will walk around with their food.

"Hey, you guys are back, I didn't see you just now.

The Li family is going to catch fish from their pond later. Do you want some? They feed them grass. I bought some fish from them before and they tasted good."

As they walked, Lady Shi arrived at their yard.

"Lao Shi, we are eating too. Come over and eat. Do you want to try Udoumen rice? It's delicious."

When Chen Qiong saw her good friend coming, she hurriedly greeted him.

"I'm full, I've finished eating. Do you want to go buy some fish later?"

Shi Niangniang quickly turned her bowl towards Chen Qiong, indicating that she was full and did not need any more.

"Then go ahead. We don't have any fish in the house anyway."

"That's right, the fish is really delicious, we'll go after we finish eating.

Fish that eat grass grow slowly, so we can pick the bigger ones sooner."

"Okay, come call us later."

After a while, when everyone had finished eating and cleaned up, they heard someone shouting on the other side of the field.

That's probably the fish pond.

"Chen Qiong, hurry up!"

"Come on~"

It felt quite interesting, so Chen Qiong went to buy fish, and followed Wang Li and Lele, one big and one small.

Wang You went to chat with his brother. As for Wang An and Li Qi, they were more comfortable and had moved two lounge chairs into the yard.

Looking at the winter sun, I squinted for a while.

Follow the footsteps of mother and Shi Niangniang to the fish pond.

You know what, I really have some experience with the traffic on these winding roads.

Starting from across the field, the ridge is a bit narrow to be honest.

Wang Li and Lele were panting as they walked.

Although the fish pond seems not far from home, there is still some water in the field and we cannot walk into the field. We can only walk on the ridge, so it is quite difficult.

Of course, this difficulty only applies to Wang Li and Lele. Chen Qiong and Shi Niangniang in front are walking very fast.

The two people who were in a hurry to buy fish didn't care about them at all.

There was no other way, she had to walk carefully while keeping an eye on Lele.

I should have listened to my dad when I first set out and worn not-so-good shoes. Now I'm wearing a pair of snow-white sneakers, and I have to think twice before I put my feet because I'm afraid of getting them dirty.

Fortunately, they were careful and managed to reach the fish pond smoothly.

When I walked to the fish pond, I saw a big red plastic basin beside the pond, with several fish in it.

Some people have already started picking fish around the basin.

I don't know if the other two were helping or the owner was still using the sticky net to catch fish everywhere.

There is no way, because the fish pond is quite deep, and it would be useless if people go down there wearing water-discharging clothes.

So only two people can hold the sticky net and pass it over and over again on both sides of the fish pond, so that the fish will have a chance to stick to the net.

This is the only way to catch fish.

The salvaging method is rather crude, haha.

But it doesn’t matter. If you like a fish, you can buy it first. If you don’t like it, just wait and see until the owner catches it.

Anyway, the villagers have a lot of time now.

There isn't that much to do during the Chinese New Year, so it's pretty free.

Several people who originally came to buy fish were dissatisfied with the slow speed of the owner and started to offer to help.

It's basically self-service fish shopping.

"Riva, come and see this fish."

Chen Qiong asked, pointing at the largest fish in the basin.

“This fish is so big!”

"Buy such a big one, Lao Chen!"

"Alas, there are too many people in the room. I guess it will be almost time for the treat when the time comes."

"Yeah, it's almost like treating a guest."

“It’s just wild, so I’m going to buy two.

One for ourselves, one for guests."

"Yes, the fish raised by this family is still delicious."

Although Chen Qiong was asking Wang Li for her opinion, before Wang Li took Lele to the basin, Chen Qiong had already bought the fish while chatting.

Well, it’s not her turn to ask the relatives and friends around the basin.

Oh, I shouldn’t have come if I had known.

Wang Li thought as she looked at the fish in her hand.

Because people in the village don’t use plastic bags when buying fish, you can just weigh and pay next to the basin, then leave with the fish by the gills.

Although this is environmentally friendly, this fish is really heavy!

Because it is slippery, if you don't hold it tightly by the gills, it may slip out of your hands, and then you will have to catch fish all over the field.

Catch one and they won’t make a sound.

When I came here, I just felt that the ridges were difficult to walk on because they were too narrow. When I went back, I felt that the ridges were really long and I had been walking for so long but still hadn’t reached the end!

By now Lele had adapted to the situation. He followed Chen Qiong and kept teasing the fish in her hand. He was not afraid of the big teeth in the fish's mouth at all.

Because this fish grows very large, even though it is a herbivorous fish, its teeth cannot be underestimated.

"Mom, if we buy two fish this big, will we be able to finish them?"

Wang An was also shocked to see Chen Qiong and Wang Li each carrying a fish.

"How can we not finish them? These two are silver carp, without any big bones. Wang Li, Lele and Li Qi all love fish, so they will definitely finish them.

Get up quickly and kill the fish. Chop it up one day and freeze it. Add some salt to each fish.

I guess we won’t be able to eat it tonight, so we’ll start eating tomorrow.”

After giving all the fish to Wang An, Chen Qiong went out to chat, while Wang Li immediately occupied Wang An's recliner and collapsed on it.

Lele also climbed onto Wang Li immediately.

This guy, his mother was right next to him, and he came to tease me.

There's nothing I can do, he is my lovely little nephew.

"Hurry up, lie down, and go to sleep."

"Oh~"

Lele was very obedient. He originally planned to play for a while and then go downstairs, but since his aunt said so, it would be very comfortable to sleep in her arms, so he decided to take a nap.

So, I closed my eyes and began to take a comfortable nap.

Winter vacation is so pleasant.

"Le Le, Li Li, hurry up and get up. The wind has started to blow. If you sleep any longer, you will catch a cold!"

Before they could wake up naturally, they were woken up by their sister-in-law.

The wind has started to blow now.

Originally, Wang An went out for a walk with Li Qi after killing the fish, but he didn't expect that they didn't chat for long.

She saw that the weather outside was beginning to get gloomy.

Guessing that the two were still sleeping, she hurried home.
