Defeat natural disasters with farming

She saw that Brother Bao had been in and out of the house for several times.

"Brother Bao, what are you looking for?" Mother Ye asked suspiciously.

She saw that Brother Bao had come in and out of the house several times, and kept opening the cabinet door, but she couldn't find what she needed.

Ye Yu crossed her arms and said in distress: "I remember that Deputy Han sent us some currency from them, but I forgot where to put it."

At the beginning, he was very curious about the crystal currency, and he even held it in his hands for a few days, but the thing was crystal after all, and he threw it aside after a while of curiosity. How can I find it when I can't find it.

Mother Ye thought for a while and said, "Is there one of them that is bigger?"

Ye Yu nodded quickly and said, "That's right, the big one doesn't seem to have been cut yet."

"Oh, I remember where it is." After Ye Mu finished speaking, she went to the yard and lifted the straw mat that was pressing on the clay pot and said, "I saw that the stone was so flat that it could just press the pot."

It turned out to be a urn stone. Ye Yu took down the crystal and looked it over carefully in his hand. From time to time, he moved his eyes to look out. The clarity is definitely not as good as that of glass, but it should be fine after thinning. Not bad, at least you can see the way ahead.

In this way he found something to cover his eyes instead of glass.

The next step is to prepare glue with a relatively high viscosity. After reading many books, Ye Yu quickly made a decision to make fish swim bladder glue.This is because isinglass is much stronger than ordinary animal glue. Usually, the maintenance of guqin strings, the production of tendon horn bows and furniture are all inseparable from isinglass, and it is relatively simple to make, and the material is even more common. The swim bladder of fish or sturgeon will do.

Both sturgeon and sturgeon are easy to catch. It’s winter now, and you can find fish nests just by looking for them under the Liuhe River covered with thick ice. When you put down the net, you can see many alive and kicking fish. fish.

Father Ye put the harvested small fish back into the river, leaving only the big ones, and then picked out the sturgeon and sturgeon with the young adults in the village, and distributed the remaining grass carp and carp to the whole village to ensure Every household gets at least one fish.

After slaughtering the sturgeon and the sturgeon, the swim bladders were taken away, and the remaining fish meat can naturally be eaten. These were not distributed to other people, but to the people who helped Ye Yu with the swim bladders. After all, you can’t let others help you. There is no price to pay, and it is not difficult to dispose of the swim bladder, but it is quite troublesome.

Ye Yu took a needle to remove the blood film, fat, blood and impurities on the swim bladder.

He warned while starting to work: "The swim bladder must not be pierced. Once it is broken, it cannot be used to make swim bladder glue. Then our efforts will be wasted."

The swim bladders that he handles with him are basically women from the village, and there is no particular reason, but generally speaking, women are more careful than men and are more suitable for such slow work.

Mother Ye finished processing the fish maw on hand, took a look at the sky, saw that it was getting late, so she got up to wash her hands, she still had to cook, their family ate casually at noon, and they couldn't deal with it at night.

And Ye Yu was about to stop at this time. After the sky darkened, whether it was lighting oil lamps or candles to work, it would hurt eyes. Anyway, there were not many swim bladders left, so it was better to continue tomorrow.

After washing his hands, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone can take home the slaughtered fish according to the number of swim bladders they have processed."

This amount is quite a lot, the lesser ones can bring home two or three fish, and the quicker ones can even bring five!

Immediately, the women cheered again and again. Although they were not short of fish, no one would dislike the abundance of fish.

After everyone left, Ye Yu poured the processed fish maw into a wooden basin to dry in a ventilated place in the yard. If the fish maw was completely dry tomorrow, he could start making fish maw glue.

There are a lot of fish caught today, so it is natural to eat fish tonight.

Mother Ye was going to make a pot of pickled fish. She first washed and removed the head of a slaughtered black fish, and then cut the knife across the fish bones to divide the whole black fish into four parts. Bright red, looks very fresh.

At this time, Ye Yu took over the work in his mother's hands and began to wash the fish meat. The soup stewed from the fish meat after many times of washing will be thicker and whiter. Ye Mu took advantage of this time to prepare the seasoning, including salt and pepper. Nature is essential.

When she was slicing the fish, she still did not forget to tell Ye Yu, "Go and crack three eggs, and the egg white and egg yolk should be placed in two separate bowls." She thought for a while and added, "Go to the cabinet and scoop another bowl." Flour comes out."

The fish fillets come out along the texture of the fish, and after being rolled in salt water, they look extra crystal clear. However, when Ye Mu put the fish fillets in the egg white bowl and flour bowl, these beautiful fish The piece is covered with white.

There is no shortage of sauerkraut at home. Mother Ye takes a sauerkraut from the tank and cuts it into shreds. After blanching the water for later use, put the head, tail, and fish bones of the black fish into the pot and fry them with onion, ginger, and garlic on high heat. , When the fish bones are fried until they turn slightly yellow, you can add sauerkraut and the water submerged in the fish head to the pot, and start to simmer slowly until it is seven mature, and Ye Mu puts the processed fish fillets in again.

Finally, add a proper amount of salt and pepper, and a pot of delicious pickled fish is ready.

Therefore, Ye Yu served a bowl of rice for dinner at night. He poured the blue-yellow soup on the rice. Every grain of rice was covered with rich soup, with pickled vegetables hanging on it. It's a bit spicy, but the level of spiciness is within his acceptable range. The fish fillets are also very delicious, without any fishy smell, and the taste is so good that people can't help but eat it again and again.

While the family was eating, Mother Ye suddenly said a shocking news, "I didn't expect Hai Geer to be determined to reconcile. Today, my sister-in-law was going to come to help, but in the end she didn't." Laicheng, the reason is that Geer Hai personally went to the elders of the village with senior generations, and asked them to witness his reconciliation with Pandi in person."

Hearing this, Father Ye, who was always calm, was stunned. His hand holding the vegetables paused, "Is that true, Geer Hai?"

Ye Yu also frowned slightly, "Can the Wu family agree?"

Mother Ye first answered Father Ye's question, "Do you think I'm lying? Of course it's true. I heard from my sister-in-law that Brother Hai hasn't slept well these days. He must have thought about it carefully. We all know that Hai Geer looks taciturn, but he is actually a very thoughtful person."

In fact, this can be seen from the fact that Father Ye took him to sell lo-mei. Speaking of this, Ye Yu feels sorry for the food shop that his family bought in the county. It didn't sell lo-mei for a few years, but it disappeared because of the earthquake.

Then he replied to Ye Yu and said: "It doesn't matter if the Wu family disagrees. Our family is responsible for this matter. Even if it is broken in front of the elders, we don't have to be afraid. To put it bluntly, if their family has been Don't be afraid to drag Hai Geer, the big deal is to see who can drag the other!"

The protection of the Ye family is in the same line. When Pandi marries Ye Hai, they will naturally be included in their own family, but if the reconciliation is successful, she will no longer be the Ye family. Ye mother protects Ye Hai and Ye Ru, But I won't protect her anymore.

Moreover, Mother Ye felt that Brother Hai was good wherever he was, even if he divorced, he would still be able to marry a wife he liked in the future, so he didn't have to entangle with Pandi anymore.

Father Ye frowned and said, "Brother Hai is an adult after all, we don't want to intervene, it depends on what he thinks, as long as we support him."

Mother Ye also nodded: "That's what it should be. It's just that you, the third uncle, are the head of the village. If you don't say help him, you can't hold him back. If the two of them write a letter of reconciliation, you have to testify as soon as possible."

Father Ye replied: "That's natural."

Ye Yu sighed indiscriminately. It is true that every family has a difficult scripture to recite, but ask yourself, if he were changed to Ye Hai's current situation, he would probably make the same decision as him. After all, family and everything prosper , Pandi's sister-in-law is like a time bomb now, no one knows what she will explode or whether it will hurt anyone.

After hearing the news, Ye Yu felt that the sauerkraut and fish on the dinner table were not as delicious as before, and he finished his dinner rather uninspired.

Early the next morning, he learned from Ye Jing, who came to deliver the buns, that Pandi's sister-in-law did not agree to reconciliation, and had been making trouble at home recently.

Ye Jing pointed to the bruises under his eyes and said, "Look, I haven't slept well all night, don't worry about the noise at home."

Ye Yu took a closer look, and after a while he noticed a little blue on his dark skin, so he teased, "I can't see your skin clearly either."

Ye Jing patted him with a smile, "You're done for nothing."

After the two of them laughed and quarreled, it was time to get down to business, Ye Jing said with a serious face: "Grandma and Auntie want Sister Ru to stay at your house for a while."

Ye Yu whispered to himself when he heard the words, sure enough, it is impossible for Ye Jing to come over so early in the morning just to deliver the buns.

"I can't decide this matter, I have to ask my mother." After Ye Yu finished speaking, he called his mother over.

"What's the matter?" Mother Ye had just frozen the buns and put them in the big vat in the yard.

Ye Jing repeated the main purpose of his coming here, and then said: "Sister Ru doesn't rest well at home, and she is always woken up, so grandma just thought that she would bring Sister Ru to your house for a while to recuperate. her body."

When Ye Mu heard this, she immediately responded happily: "There's nothing wrong with it. Brother Bao, go and ask your father to go back and clean up your grandma and sister Ru. I'll tidy up the house, and the quilts and pillows are all ready-made." Yes, they can sleep when they come over."

After she finished speaking, she hurried into the house without any delay. You must know that the couple had mentioned several times to let the old couple stay at their house for a while, but the old couple never agreed. What's the point of living in the youngest son's house after the family is separated? Now that Mrs. Ye finally wants to come and live here, don't they have to clean up?

Ye Yu also said cheerfully, "I'll call my father."

Father Ye was also very happy when he learned about this, and after putting down the matter at hand, he brought Ye Yu back to the old house to pick him up.

In the end, Ye Yu watched quite a big show with this pick-up.

When they arrived, Mrs. Ye had already packed her things and was hugging Ye Ru to coax her to sleep.

When she saw Father Ye coming in, she quickly whispered, "Be gentle, as my sister just fell asleep."

Father Ye quickly relaxed his movements, pointed to the two wooden baskets on the ground and asked, "Is that all you need to bring?"

"It won't be long. Just wait for Hai Geer to finish handling the family affairs. It's useless to bring so many things."

Mrs. Ye put a half-warm water bag outside the swaddling baby, and then wrapped Ye Ru tightly with a blanket, so as to keep warm without scalding the child.

She packed up and said, "Let's go."

Father Ye and Ye Yu each carried a basket, which was not heavy, and only put some clothes, diapers and the like in it.

However, just as they were about to go out, they saw the door of Wu's house next door opened suddenly. Pandi rushed out and ran towards Mrs. Ye. Fortunately, Ye Hai was nearby, so she stopped her.

You must know that Mrs. Ye is not young, if she hits her like this, she may be injured, not to mention that she still has Ye Ru in her arms, what if she falls to the ground.

So Ye Hai's face darkened, and he scolded angrily: "What do you want to do?"

When Pan Di was stopped by him, she took a few steps back due to the reaction force. When she raised her head, Ye Hai was stunned. She hadn't seen her for a few days, but she looked haggard.

The first thing Pandi did after raising her head was to look for Ye Ru, "Sister Ru, do you miss your mother? Sister Ru, mother misses you so much."

Her high-pitched voice immediately woke up Ye Ru, who had just fallen asleep, and then the baby's loud crying sounded, mixed with her sharp voice, Ye Yu frowned tightly, wishing to plug his ears.

Mrs. Ye was coaxing the baby in her arms, but she kept crying and making her nose sweat from anxiety.

Seeing this, Father Ye hurriedly said: "You take sister Ru in first, and Brother Hai and I will take care of it here."

"Okay." Mrs. Ye hurried back to the house with Ye Ru in her arms.

When there were only a few of them left outside, Ye Hai frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Pandi said: "I am like a sister and mother, you can't divorce me."

"It's not a divorce, but a reconciliation." Ye Hai said: "It's because we can't live on, no one is wrong, after the reconciliation, your family doesn't have to return the dowry, but we will send your dowry over."

You must know that when they got married, the Ye family gave a lot of betrothal gifts. According to the customary reconciliation, the betrothal gifts and dowry of both husband and wife should be returned to individuals. Now Ye Hai does not want the betrothal gifts, which means returning the dowry to Pandi It also includes the bride price and makeup when getting married.

At this time, Zhaodi came out from the gate, and said in a warm voice: "You two are destined to get married. After all, Pandi is Rujie's mother. She has already realized her mistake. Even if you marry again in the future, the stepmother will marry you." Can you really love your child more than your own mother?"

Ye Yu frowned slightly upon hearing these words, isn't this moral kidnapping?

Just as he was about to say something, Ye Hai said firmly: "I won't marry again. As for sister Ru, she will take care of her, so I won't bother you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Sister Ye who just came out of the house couldn't help shouting sharply: "Brother Hai!"

Ye Hai didn't stop, and continued to speak: "If you want to visit sister Ru, I welcome it, but if you have other ideas, then don't say it."

His words startled the Wu family in a trance, no one spoke anymore, even Mrs. Ye frowned, trying to persuade but didn't know where to start.

In the end, Boss Ye said: "Brother Hai has been so frustrating these days, since he doesn't want to marry again, let him settle down for a while, wait a year or two, then he may change his mind."

The child was grown up, and Mrs. Ye couldn't make the decision for him, so she could only sigh deeply.
