Mermaid Farming

"This is the wild vegetable pancake we made, do you want to try it?"

As one of the few families here, the outsiders like the Chen family are the most numerous now, but they are all honest people.

Those who are quick-witted, or have bad intentions, either die halfway, or stay in some places before.

Only they have been heading south.

The more they walked towards this side, the more stable their life here would be. They encountered a lot of wild vegetables on the road, and they didn't have to worry about starving to death.

They have been determined to go to their destination.

According to what the elders of their family said before their death, they knew that this aunt was a very good person, and it was better to seek refuge with her than to find a random village to settle down.

So they just walked for an extra month and finally came here.

My aunt is really a good person. She entertained them for a meal and helped them find a place to stay. Although these houses are dilapidated, they are still a shelter from the wind and rain.

They are already very at ease to have a place to live. In addition, it is also close to the river, so they don’t have to worry about lack of water. Although it is a little poor here, there is also a lot of land around them. You can also get by.

It's not that they haven't tried to open up wasteland. They have already passed such difficult days along the way.

They lived together for a period of time and found a suitable house. There was a lot of thatch in this place. We worked together to repair the house and it could accommodate people, so they lived in separately.

They dragged their families to this place.

There are not many things in their hands.

It was very cold this winter, so they naturally understood that when they came here, their aunt had already told them.

Let them save food, firewood, buy cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

They can come here, and they still have some family assets, but they bought quilts and other things, and they don't have much money in their hands.

They also need to store food.

Coupled with the firewood on the mountain, they can be said to be very busy.

But this kind of day is also very practical.

The drought in the north, no matter what, will not spread to this place.

Moreover, there are not many refugees in this place, and there is no need to rob anything from others.

In addition, there are a lot of wild vegetables here, and there are also a lot of fish in the river.

These are all food.

They don't worry at all that they won't make it through.

There is not enough food, they can go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and the wild vegetables can be dried and eaten.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they can also plant some sweet potatoes. They don't know how to fish, and they don't have a boat, so they can't get so many people to do it.

But they can fish.

Fishing is very simple, just let the children in the family watch it. The children of the poor are already in charge of the family, and the half-old children are also sensible.

Along the way, they also caught fish together, and they didn't need to be taught by adults.

It is absolutely not allowed to go down the river.

The river here is very deep, and they are not children who grew up in the river, and they are not very familiar with water.

It is already very good to catch two or three fish a day, one is eaten by oneself, and the other is made into dried fish.

There are many gains every day.

And among them, there is still one who can hunt.

After discovering that the mountains near here were unowned, he made some tools and went hunting on the mountains. He Zeyang and the others only found out when they received half a rabbit from the other party.

The other party knows how to hunt, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about finding a job.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." He Zeyang took the chicken over, "Uncle Chen, come in and have a seat."

During this period of getting along, everyone has a good impression.

Chen Dashan refused with a smile, "No need, I have to go back to work later."

"Hmm, is Uncle Chen here for something?" He Zeyang asked very tactfully.

"It's just that I heard that you go to the town basically every day. I wonder if I can ask you to help sell your prey?"

He Zeyang recalled that although he said he knew how to hunt, the population in their family was not large. His wife and two sons were only two or three years old, and they could not live without their mother. Chen Dashan was alone.

Going to town and going back and forth is indeed time consuming.

"I won't let you help for nothing, how about giving you three coins for selling our prey?" Chen Dashan asked.

"Okay, Uncle Dashan, we're going to the town later, you have prey at home, so bring it here."

"No problem, I'll go back and get it now."

They waited for a while, and Chen Dashan came over with two pheasants and a fat rabbit.

"Okay, let's go to the town first." He Zeyang took it, put it directly in the back basket, and brought it to the town.

The first time they went to the town, they went to kill these prey.

I got a very good price. They basically rely on fishing for a living here, and the number of people who can hunt can be counted on one hand.

Therefore, the price of these prey is a bit higher than other places.

Especially for things like restaurants, if the bid is low, I'm afraid that next time he has prey, he will sell it elsewhere.

Of course, He Zeyang sold it at an acquaintance's place, got a good price, collected the money, and the two of them split up.

Because they were thinking about their prey, they went back earlier.

Before dinner, I went to Chen Dashan's house. Taking this opportunity, I handed over the money to the other party, "Here is all the money."

Chen Dashan looked at the money in surprise. When he first chose the other party, he just wanted to know if the other party would embezzle their money for himself, but now it seems that they can still cooperate for a long time.

He Zeyang explained, "...the price of prey is relatively high."

Chen Dashan was simply unexpected, "This is your reward this time."

He calculated it and found that the price was the same as they said.

It has been going on like this, and it is pretty good to maintain cooperation.

The price of prey here is high, and their family doesn't have to work so hard.

"Okay, if there are prey in the future, just send them over in advance, and we will go to town around that time."

"Okay, thanks."

Ren Yu came with him and saw the two little guys in their family, hiding behind his mother, poking his head out curiously, looking at the two strangers, and shrinking back immediately when they saw them looking over.

Ren Yu saw his heart itching, and wanted to go over and tease them.

So cute.

It's a pity that they are not familiar with each other yet, so I am embarrassed to tease them.

If he rushed forward rashly, they would definitely be unhappy.

"Their son is so cute." Ren Yu said uncontrollably as soon as he went out.

"Siya and the others are also very cute."

"Yes, yes, but a smaller child will be cuter."

It is rare for He Zeyang to talk to him about this, "Do you like children?"

Ren Yu nodded vigorously, "Siya, Xiaowu, and Xiaoliu are all cute."

He himself didn't realize that when he mentioned these children, his eyes seemed to glow.

He Zeyang stopped, looked at him and asked, "Do you like children very much?"

"I like it." Ren Yu said without the slightest notice.

The child is small and looks very cute.

He Zeyang nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.

Like kids?

Could it be his illusion?

The two of them have worked together recently, and he feels that each other is a little bit careful, but he has shown that he likes children so much.

When they went to the town, the white and tender Ren Yu was more popular. It was difficult for him to marry a girl in the town, but if it was in other villages, there would always be someone willing.

On the way back, He Zeyang was unusually silent.

Ren Yu looked at him strangely several times, feeling a little strange, could it be that he was in a bad mood?

Could it be that he saw other people and made so much money all at once?Compared with their home, it is really not happy.

Ren Yu, who felt that she had found the reason, also very considerately avoided nagging in his ear.

Children from other people's families can't be teased, but the ones in the house are fine. When he goes to town, he occasionally chats for a penny and buys something to eat.

Take out a little secretly for them to eat, and they will be very satisfied and happy.

He Zeyang, who felt the coldness of the other party: "..."

He may be thinking too much.

The other party didn't realize his little thoughts at all, and He Zeyang was depressed for two days, so he put this matter aside.

The other party didn't understand at all.

just forget it.

Let the natural development take its course, let's make the result whatever happens later.

Anyway, by his side, the only suitable person was himself.

They face each other day and night, even if the other party can't like him, there is nothing he can do.

Ren Yu found that he was back to normal, and also started to move to his side.

The two went in and out together, and went to work in the mountains with other people in their village.

To the uninitiated, they look like a couple.

A couple that will make good things.

The two of them just don't have this feeling.

He felt that the other party would definitely not take a fancy to him. After all, the other party is so good, there must be a lot of girls who want to marry the other party, so he should stop wishful thinking.

When the other party finds out, I'm afraid they won't even be able to be friends.

How embarrassing to say it?

To put it bluntly, I will definitely let him / myself move away, which is very bad.

It's better to get along like this.

muddle along.

Wait until the other party has someone they like.

Ren Yu has never talked about his liking for him, not talking about it, but showing his liking for the other party with practical actions.

Ren Yu's action, in He Zeyang's view, was just an expression of the other party's kindness.

It just reinforces the impression that he's a good guy.
