Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Uncle Xie was surprised to see Liu Meilan catch another big black carp. "Meilan, this black carp is really big. We can't finish it!" (Photo)

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Uncle, we won't eat this herring today. I'll clean it, marinate it, let it air dry for a few days, and then braise it. It will taste great."

Uncle Xie was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the taste of his childhood, "Okay, then you make some, and I'll try it to see if it's authentic."

"Yeah!" Liu Meilan nodded, picked up the knife and started cleaning quickly, then found the seasonings to marinate.

“But it takes a long time to pickle dried herring. You won’t be here for long, so you probably won’t be able to eat it!” Uncle Xie said regretfully.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Natural drying is of course slow, but we don't need to eat the hard ones, as long as they are chewy."

"So that's how it is." Second Uncle Xie smiled, "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'll pack the baskets and go down to the ditch at night. I can catch crayfish and eels and make delicious food."

Liu Meilan's eyes lit up, "Second Uncle, I'll go with you."

Catching fish and shrimps got her body covered in mud, but for Liu Meilan, it was no big deal.

Liu Meilan wanted to go, and the other children had to follow.

Xie Yujun offered a suggestion, "Aunt Meilan, I just saved all the fish entrails, and can use them to catch lobsters. If that's not enough, I'll catch a few toads, skin them, and use their meat to catch crayfish."

Xie Yuting ran into the house and took out more than 20 fishing rods specially made for catching crayfish, all made of bamboo poles or branches, "Aunt, I know where there are crayfish!"

Liu Meilan looked eagerly at Uncle Xie, "Uncle, let's go fishing for crayfish!"

"Okay, I'll take you there." Uncle Xie couldn't stand children staring at him, and now there was a niece he was meeting for the first time.

Liu Yibang is now carrying tools and following behind, he is the tool man.

Liu Meilan led Xie Yuting and several other children and walked in front.

She was very skillful with her hands. When she saw some wild flowers, she made wreaths and put them on Xie Yuting and Xie Yuling's heads.

Of course, Liu Meilan did not forget to make one for herself.

The little boy has a hat made of willow branches, which not only provides sun protection but is also fun.

Although she got up early today to catch the plane, Liu Meilan must not be sleepy now.

Such an interesting thing, of course we have to play together!

Uncle Xie prepared some bait for Liu Meilan, some stinky chicken intestines, which were very effective for catching crayfish.

Liu Meilan found the section of the ditch where there were many large crayfish, and began to tie the smelly bait on the line and then put it in the ditch.

After a while, the crayfishes, smelling the fishy smell, began to become restless and came over to grab the food.

Liu Meilan held the fishing rod in her left hand and the scoop net in the other.

Crayfish are very greedy. Once they take the bait, they will not let go until they have finished it.

Seeing that the crayfish was about to surface, Liu Meilan cooperated tacitly with her other hand and immediately used a scoop net to catch the greedy crayfish.

Some crayfish, even after waking up from sleep, continue to hold on to the bait and continue eating, while others fall into the scoop net.

"It's caught." Xie Yuting was excited. "Aunt Meilan, this crayfish is really big! Next, I can pull the rod and you can scoop the net, okay?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay, you come."

It was obviously not the first time that Xie Yuting fished for crayfish. Her hands were very steady, and the crayfish she was eating seemed not to feel that it was about to surface.

Liu Meilan used the scoop net in her hand to quickly, steadily and accurately scoop up the greedy crayfish and threw it into the big bucket.

Liu Yibang also took the children to start fishing for crayfish from the other end.

The fun in it made Liu Meilan feel like she was back home, it was really interesting.

Liu Meilan smiled. She really still liked nature.

In the city, Liu Meilan could only sigh, "There are so many tall buildings."

No matter how many cars there are, I can only sigh at the most. There are so many cars, but I won’t like them much at all.

But once close to nature, Liu Meilan's happiness and joy are revealed not only in her heart but also in every pore of her body.

Uncle Xie was fishing not far away. He could not help but smile when he heard the children's laughter from time to time.

After lunch, Grandma Xie and Grandpa Xie took a walk to digest the food and then started their daily nap.

Half an hour later, they woke up.

Don't sleep too long during the day, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night.

Professor Xie changed into fresh and loose clothes and made tea for his parents, "Mom and Dad, have some tea."

"You learned this Gongfu tea in the south, it's really good." Grandma Xie praised, "The ones we brew ourselves are not as delicious as yours."

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Mom, it's not as exaggerated as you say. I can't do it either, it just looks more intimidating."

After drinking tea, Grandma Xie asked softly: "You just briefly told me, now tell me in detail, is Yuxin unhappy?"

Professor Xie felt bitter, but he had a clear conscience. "Mom, I once thought that as long as Yuxin was willing to stay, I would not drive her away, but too many things happened, which consumed my feelings..."

Except for Grandma Xie who asked a few questions from time to time, Grandpa Xie was listening the whole time.

"It seems that Yuxin is a stupid child!" Grandpa Xie said in a deep voice, "Since she has returned to her original home, we should stop associating with her in the future."

Grandma Xie nodded. "It is said that a little kindness will bring resentment. You are too good to her. If you are a little bit bad, she will only remember your bad things and not your good things."

"Although this is my first time meeting Meilan, this child knows how to care for others and values ​​her family. She is a very rare good child."

The first time they met, Liu Yuxin called them grandma and grandpa more times than she had ever called them in her life.

As an elder, who doesn’t like sweet-talking juniors?

What's more, this child is very honest. The gifts he prepared for the children at home were all real gold pendants, each costing more than a thousand yuan.

If you don't pay attention, you will give so much? And it is carefully prepared.

In short, people’s hearts are made of flesh.

Elderly people like Grandma Xie and Grandpa Xie, who are in their eighties, have experienced a lot in their lives.

Just one look and you can tell a lot about a person.

Since Liu Meilan is their granddaughter and has their blood in her body, they feel close to her.

As for Liu Yuxin, since they had never seen how close this child was to them before, the two old people put it out of their minds after they figured it out.

With so many lovely children at home, how can I have time to think about other people’s children?

"Mom, I understand." Professor Xie nodded, feeling deeply moved. "I was really scared by Yiwen's incident this time. Fortunately, Meilan and Tang Xiaoyu reminded him that Yiwen bought a camera at home. Otherwise, he would never be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River!"

Grandma Xie nodded, "It proves that Meilan is a smart girl who knows how to help her brother. Otherwise, Yiwen would not have gotten through this ordeal. Meilan is a lucky girl who has gone through so much hardship. With Meilan watching over her, Yiwen may be able to be more stable in the future."

Professor Xie smiled and said, "Yes, now I often chat with Zhengtao and my father-in-law. Every time they mention Meilan, they are also very pleased. To outsiders, they think that Meilan's return to the Liu family is due to the Liu family's fame. But in fact, we know that it is because of Meilan's blessing that we are blessed."

Professor Xie, her husband, and her father-in-law all agree on this point.

"Yes!" Grandma Xie nodded. "It's a great blessing for a family to have such a precious child. You should think more positively and stop feeling guilty. You didn't want to do that at that time. Fortunately, everything is developing in a good direction and everything will be fine."

Professor Xie agreed, "Yes, Mom, you must take care of yourself."

"Of course." Grandma Xie chuckled, "Your father and I are in good health, so you don't have to worry about us. We should be able to live to 90. Besides, we are already this age, so it's normal for us to die one day. You should eat and drink as usual, and don't be sad."

"After all, you were filial to us when your father and I were alive. When you die, we can just burn you and bury you in a grave at the forest farm behind the mountain. Don't buy a cemetery plot."

Professor Xie listened to his mother as if she was arranging her funeral, and his face showed worry. "Mom, you just said you were in good health, and now you're talking about death. How unlucky. No matter how old I am, as long as my parents are here, I have a place to come from. Without my parents, I have no place to come from, only a place to go."

Grandma Xie stroked her daughter's head gently. "I gave birth to six of you brothers and sisters. Due to the times, our family is scattered all over the place. Fortunately, you are all hardworking and motivated, and now you are all living well."

"Your father and I feel relieved because we have sensible children like you. Your family is the richest among the sisters now, but remember, we can only help in emergencies, not in poverty. Relatives should also settle accounts clearly. When your father and I are still here, I can still help you settle lawsuits."

"When your father and I are gone, there will be no buffer. If you can't figure it out, it will affect your relationship. Of course, if your child asks you for help and it's a reasonable request, you should try to help each other and move forward together."

Professor Xie nodded, "I know. I'll stay here with you for a while. I plan to take Meilan to visit my elder sister. I didn't see her last year, and I miss her."

My eldest sister was so beautiful originally, but in that environment, her skin turned red and became rough.

Fortunately, my eldest sister is still living a relatively well-off life now, otherwise I would be more worried.

"Okay, I can't go, you go see her for me. You three girls are all out, and given our family's situation at the time, it was already a good result to have this."

"We are just far away. We can't see each other more than once a year, and we can't get together. Maybe only when your father and I close our eyes, maybe everyone can get together."

Hearing this, Professor Xie felt sad, "Mom, you said again that you and Dad will live a hundred years."

"Okay, I won't say any more. May we live long." Grandma Xie nodded and chatted slowly with her daughter about family matters.

Professor Xie, who seldom speaks out his true feelings in public, opens up like a chatterbox in front of his parents and blurts out everything that was pent up in his heart.

If you can’t finish, just keep talking.

The two old people are good listeners. They can judge whether their daughter is living a good life from what she says.

Overall, although the second daughter was hit hard by the replacement of her child, fortunately her biological daughter was doing well, so it can be considered a blessing in disguise and worth comforting.

Liu Meilan took the children to fish for crayfish. They became addicted to it. It was so much fun.

In just over an hour, half the bucket is already full.

However, for crayfish, only the meat on the back of the buttocks can be eaten, and there is actually not much meat.

Liu Meilan decided to catch more fish, but she couldn’t eat them tonight, so she left them in the water so that she could vomit out the dirt in her stomach.

Until the sun set, Liu Meilan and the children had caught a full bucket of fish, and the scoop net was also full.

"Go home!" Uncle Xie urged, "There are too many mosquitoes, go home early."

"Okay, second uncle." Liu Meilan agreed and began to pack up the fishing rod, tidy it up, and let her third brother carry it.

Liu Meilan carried the bucket of lobsters and walked behind the children.

Xie Yuting smiled and asked, "Aunt Meilan, can you sing?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "Of course! Now that we have caught so many crayfish, I feel like we have won a battle, so I suggest that everyone sing "Returning from Target Practice", can you sing it?"

"Yes, our teacher taught me." Xie Yuting said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll start and we'll all sing together." Liu Meilan looked at the children's figures, which were stretched out by the setting sun.

In this situation, when singing,

"Okay!" the children agreed.

“The sun sets in the west and the clouds are flying…” Liu Meilan started singing and everyone sang together.

As the sun sets, the weeds on the roadside sway in the wind, the birds in the sky fly happily, and the children's clear singing accompanies them, forming a picture of "Homecoming in the Countryside".

Along the way, the villagers we met would also praise the children for their good singing.

Uncle Xie was very proud when greeting people, thinking that his own child was so outstanding.

When Liu Meilan and her group returned home, they saw her third cousin's taxi parked at the door. It turned out that Uncle Xie and Aunt Xie had just got off work, so they asked Xie Tianyi to take them over.

"Uncle, aunt." Liu Yibang greeted, "Meilan, come and call someone."

Liu Meilan stepped forward, her beautiful clothes now splattered with mud. She grinned and said, "Uncle, aunt, hello, I'm Liu Meilan. We talked on the phone before, and now we finally meet. I'm very happy."

My aunt had her hair combed neatly, and at first glance she looked like a government official. When she saw Liu Meilan, a smile appeared on her serious face. "Yibang, Meilan, hello. I heard Meilan's voice on the phone before, and when I met her in real life, she is indeed a sweet girl."

Liu Meilan said modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. Let's not stand outside. Mom and grandma and grandpa are inside!"

Uncle Xie looked at Liu Meilan carefully, feeling a little disappointed. Liu Meilan didn't look like a member of the Xie family at all. The three brothers Liu Yian, Liu Yiwen and Liu Yibang looked more or less like their uncle.

"Good child." Uncle Xie gently touched Liu Meilan's head, "You have suffered a lot these years."

Liu Meilan shook her head, not hiding her past hardships, but also not playing the victim all day long, "Uncle, it's all in the past. Now the hardship has paid off."

"Okay!" Uncle Xie nodded, "Tianyi, take all your things and let's go in."

Professor Xie saw his elder sister-in-law and elder brother coming and quickly stood up. "Brother and sister-in-law, you still have to go to work tomorrow. Why did you rush over? Come over after you have rested."

My aunt smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come back. We are in the city. What's the difficulty? Besides, your eldest brother and I also want to see Meilan. There are many things that can't be explained clearly over the phone. Come, let me ask you."

Professor Xie nodded. "I said, I said, I have made my elder brother and his wife worried these days."

"How can I not worry? Unfortunately, we are so far away that I can only write letters or make phone calls." My aunt smiled bitterly, "When your eldest brother found out that you were replaced when you gave birth, he had a nightmare in the middle of the night and cried. He couldn't sleep well for several days."

Uncle Xie is the eldest son in the family and of course was the first to start working. He did not go to the countryside. When he saw his younger brothers and sisters leaving one after another, he felt very sad.

But this is national policy and there is nothing we can do about it.

He often squeezed out some money from his meager salary to mail to his younger brothers and sisters.

"Okay, stop talking." Uncle Xie stopped his wife from continuing. The matter was in the past and there was no need to mention it again.

"Okay, I won't tell you." My aunt smiled and walked in with Professor Xie's arm in one hand and Liu Meilan's arm in the other.

"Aunt, I'm covered in mud, please don't dirty your clothes." Liu Meilan shrank back but was held back by her aunt.

Liu Meilan was amazed at how strong her aunt was!
