My daughter-in-law is a snake

Chapter 7 Catching Fish

They struggled through most of the village, and followed the screams of the pigs to the door of the village chief's house.

There are already many people around here, and the pig butcher, Uncle Tao, who was invited from another village, has already been fully armed, holding a butcher knife and sitting on a chair in the middle of the yard with great momentum.

Before the killing started, a group of people had already gathered around and started bargaining with the village chief for choosing parts.

"Uncle, my family wants a pig's head, can you sell it?" Xiu Tianyu squeezed forward and asked.

"Yo, Daewoo!" The village head took down the pipe he was holding, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I won't sell pig heads this year. I want to eat old novels. Do you want something else?"

He looked at Han Zhen who was standing next to Xiu Tianyu, hey, and said, "This is your wife, Daewoo? When did you find her? She looks so handsome!"

"The younger brother of my comrade-in-arms, he came to the countryside to remember bitterness and sweetness." Xiu Tianyu explained with a smile, holding Han Zhen tighter in his hands.

"Oh my god, this young man is so handsome, what did he eat to grow up?" The people around cheered up, and there were really more people watching Han than pigs.

Han Zhen was embarrassed to be seen, and quietly hid behind Xiu Tianyu.

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, boy, how old are you? Do you have a date?" The three aunts and six wives around still didn't want to let him go.

"Okay, okay, you guys, scare people and children!" The village chief hurriedly made a rescue.

"Where are the pig's trotters and pig's trotters? I also want a rib fan." Xiu Tianyu said cheerfully.

"Hey, how much does your family need to eat? Other people's children are slender when they come here, and they will be fattened up when they go back. Fat people are not popular in the city anymore, Daewoo, be careful." I don't know who is outside ridicule.

Xiu Tianyu just laughed.

"Daewoo, my pig's head is for sale and I'll keep it for you." A middle-aged woman in her forties said.

"That's a good relationship. When will Aunt Pei Liu kill you? I'll go get it." Xiu Tianyu said.

Aunt Pei Liu laughed: "Wait a minute, my family is ranked fourth."

They were chatting, but the pig butcher, Uncle Tao, had already started to move: "Let's not be so tight, what about the pig's blood basin? Put it away!"

"Dayu, I'll give you a set in the water. No one in my family will eat this." The village chief directed his eldest son to carry the basin, and turned his head to talk to Xiu Tianyu.

"That works." Xiu Tianyu was very happy.

Uncle Tao rolled up his sleeves and stabbed the fat pig in the neck with a knife. The blood spurted out immediately and was caught by the big basin.

Han Zhen was so frightened that he covered his face and turned his head, his little face turned pale in an instant.

Xiu Tianyu found out, put his arms around his shoulders and took him outside the yard.

The people around sneered, "The children from the city are afraid of seeing this, unlike the bastards here, all of them are excited as if they have taken the wrong medicine."

Xiu Tianyu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes..."

"Are you okay?" he asked softly.

Han Zhen felt dizzy for a while, retched for a while, sighed, and said, "Maybe I can't see blood."

"Bloodsick?" Xiu Tianyu patted his head, "Then wait for me." After speaking, he turned and went into the yard, and came out after a while and said, "Let's go home."

"You don't buy anything anymore?" Hearing the noisy voices in the yard, Han Zhen felt that he was a bit out of place.

"Buy, I've made a deal, I'll come and get it after I send you back." Xiu Tianyu tucked the edge of the scarf for him, "Let's go."

Han Zhen followed for two steps, then stopped and said, "I, I'd better follow you." He always felt that he could only feel safe when he was by Xiu Tianyu's side. As for his family, they were still strangers. .

He didn't know that this was called a baby bird plot. The first thing the duckling saw after breaking its shell was his mother.He also, after several days here, Xiu Tianyu was the first one willing to help him.

Xiu Tianyu hummed, took him by his side, and poked outside like this, listening to the movement inside.I didn't go in and take out the things I wanted until everyone had gone out.

"Put the things back with me, and I'll take you around for fun, and let them send the rest home directly, and I'll give you all the money."

Back home, Xiu Tianying took what was in his younger brother's hand, and said with a smile: "I guess you have to come back early, are you scared?"

Han Zhen smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "I thought I wasn't afraid, but I was scared when I didn't expect it, but I should gradually become less afraid in the future."

Xiu Tianyu said: "I want to take him to another place."

Brother Xiu nodded and said, "Go to the riverside. There are still fishers over there. I guess they will all be collected in the afternoon. You can bring a few fish back. In the afternoon, we will prepare a New Year's Eve dinner, post couplets and hang lanterns."

"That's fine." Xiu Tianyu thought for a while, ran to the utility room and found a wooden board, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I played, let's play with this."

Brother Xiu looked at it and laughed, "Go early and come back early."

Xiu Tianyu called out Dahuang and Dahua, then tied the ropes around the two dogs and let Han Zhen sit on the wooden board behind them.

Gou Sheng heard Han Zhen's movement from the house, ran out meowing, first rolled in the snowdrift, then jumped into Han Zhen's arms three times and then got into his collar.

"There's snow! Don't let it sneak around!" Xiu Tianyu yelled, grabbed the leftover dog in his hand, kicked it into the pocket of the cotton-padded jacket, and yelled: "Go, go to the river!"

The dog ran ahead, Xiu Tianyu chased after him, and the people watching on the road rolled with laughter.

"Daewoo, are you going to practice scud?"

"Daewoo, you haven't forgotten the moves you learned when you were a soldier? How fast you run!"

"Brother Daewoo, take me to play!!" Several half-grown children yelled and dug out a simple dog sledge from home, put it on their own big dog, and followed it yelling.

Seeing that Xiu Tianyu was following, the grown-ups felt relieved, and just yelled to come back earlier, and let them go.Anyway, even if you let them stay at home, these brats can't sit still, so it's better to go out and play wild, and still have a rest at night.

There is a river not far from their village, and a group of people collect their nets on the river. This is the last net of fish this year, and part of the harvest is sold to people in nearby villages to eat fresh.The other part is collected by those restaurants in the city. They have to have a New Year's Eve dinner in the city without rest, and fish is naturally indispensable for the New Year's Eve dinner.

There were also many people waiting on the shore, with dustpans and buckets in their hands, and a group of dogs running with sledges from a distance, pointing and laughing.

When Xiu Tianyu rushed over with a wheeze, everyone who knew him couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, Daewoo, what the hell are you doing? Race with dogs?"

"Hahahaha Daewoo, you are too powerful, you can keep up with this!"

Xiu Tianyu shook his head dumbfounded, he didn't dare to take off his hat, he only unbuttoned the outermost jacket on his body to breathe out, since he ran all the way, the clothes inside were probably wet.

Gousheng got out of his pocket, his little nails hooked his clothes and jumped onto his hat, meowing in a particularly mighty way.

It also attracted laughter from the surrounding people.

"Little cat, little cat!" The half-grown children surrounded Xiu Tianyu and shouted, "Brother Dayu, can I hug your cat?"

"No, the cat is still young, so you can't hug it." Xiu Tianyu finally managed to catch his breath. Seeing Han Zhen still sitting on the sledge, he walked over and pulled him up with a smile, "How do you feel?"

Han Zhen's face was almost numb, and the eyelashes were covered with frost, which fell off in the blink of an eye.He rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, so exciting!"

"Hahahaha." Xiu Tianyu laughed.

Han Zhen wiped his face in embarrassment, and was shocked by the scene on the river.

The river is more than 20 meters wide, not too big.The entire surface of the river was frozen, and the thick ice layer could be more than two feet thick. The ice where the nets were lowered was cut off and piled up on the bank.Now the net is being collected in the river, and a large cart is dragging the cable and moving slowly on the ice.There is a fishing net under the cable, which is heavy.

A piece of silver light flashed, accompanied by a rough male voice shouting, the net is up!

A net full of fish was dragged up from the river, and each one was almost as long as an arm, fat and big!The fishing net was spread out on the ice, and the big fish jumped around, and they were frozen after a few jumps.

"Aww!!" the boys and girls yelled from the bank, rolling around in excitement.

"Have you seen it?" Xiu Tianyu asked.

"...No..." Han Zhen took a deep breath and looked at the big fish in surprise.

He grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, where he also ate fish, but the fish he ate was rarely this big, and he had never seen such a shocking scene of harvesting.

And such thick ice!

He once remembered that when he was a child, someone would bring ice from the north and sell it to them, wrap it in a thick quilt, and put it in a deep cellar immediately after unloading the car, to escape the heat in summer.In his eyes, those pieces of ice were already huge, but compared to the ones here, they were pitifully small.

A group of people huddled together to buy fish, Xiu Tianyu was not in a hurry, he dragged Han Zhen onto the ice for a walk and said, "This is not the coldest, I remember when I was a child, the ice was more than one meter thick, and I just had to chisel it out." It takes a lot of effort to make holes in the ice, and all the holes must be dug out within a day, otherwise, if you come to see them the next day, they will all be frozen again."

"But there is nothing interesting in winter now, except to see the ice lanterns. There are no people making ice lanterns here. When I have time, I will take you to Harbin to play. There is an ice sculpture exhibition over there." Xiu Tianyu grabbed the leftover dog from his head and stuffed it into his pocket , this little cat always wants to run down, and jumps on his head excitedly when he sees a fish.

"When spring comes, I'll take you to the mountains. My family has a small piece of mountain land. In spring, you can pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables. From summer to autumn, the mountains are full of wild fruits. You can't finish them. You can also set up a net to catch pheasants. There are hazelnut trees and pine trees, and you can hit a lot of hazelnuts and pine nuts every year. By the way, I still have some at home, but most of them are sold to my mother to buy medicine. In short, the Northeast is fun all year round. Next time you Come early, when the ice is not so thick, when the ice is not so thick, the fish in the river will jump out, there is no need to fish at all, and you can catch several fish with a net.”

Han Zhen was fascinated by what he heard, he squeezed Xiu Tianyu's big hand and said: "Then I won't leave, I will live here from now on, can you take me to play?"
