80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 32, Smashing Fish

At the dinner table, Grandma He told Mei Xue about pulling the wires. Mei Xue immediately became excited after hearing this, "Grandma, can you really pull the wires to our house in three days?"

You have to know that there are many ways to get to them from the entrance of the village. The village is not big, but it is not small either, and the population is quite large.

If every household has to do it, they may not be able to finish it in three days.

“Yes, the driver said he would definitely come to decorate our home in three days. He said it was to thank us for supporting his work in the beginning.” The pride on Grandma He’s face was beyond words.

“So that’s it, that’s good. We’ll wire up the back of the toilet then. It doesn’t cost any money. At most, we can just buy a few more light bulbs.” Mei Xue believed in Grandma He’s execution ability.

“Yes, it’s up to us whether we use it or not. It’s convenient and saves trouble.” Grandma He agreed with her face.

 After lunch, Grandma He and Mei Xue planned to take a nap together.

As soon as Mei Xue sent her grandma into the house, she heard someone calling her outside.

I went out and took a look, "It turns out to be An Liang. Do you have a problem with me?" As soon as he opened the courtyard, he saw An Wen sneaking around and looking into the courtyard from time to time.

Seeing his sister-in-law coming out, An Liang patted his chest and said, "Sister-in-law, the third grandma is not at home?"

Meixue glanced behind her and said, "I'm at home. Grandma is taking a nap. Why, are you looking for grandma?" Seeing him like that, she knew she was afraid of her grandma, Mei Xue joked.

"No, sister-in-law, I'm afraid." An Liang waved his hand vigorously, "Sister-in-law, Brother An Wen and I plan to go fishing in the stream later. Do you want to go with us?"

 After the holidays, people in the village will go up the mountains and rivers to find some food to fill their mouths.

 There is no river here, only a small stream.

 “Fishing?” Mei Xue didn’t understand. This was the first time she heard such a term. "What is fishing?"

 Just ask if you don’t understand. He is a good boy.

“It means hitting the stone with a hammer to stun the fish under the stone, and then fish it up again.” An Liang explained carefully.

After hearing this, Mei Xue's eyes lit up. It was a good idea. She saw a lot of fish in the stream last time, some of which were quite small, but I think the fish here taste different, right?

“Okay, do you want to prepare anything?” Mei Xue nodded in agreement.

"Just take a bucket, Brother Anwen will take the hammer, and Brother Anwen and I will switch to smashing." Smashing fish is a laborious job, and it takes two people to do it.

“No problem, just wait for me and I’ll tell grandma.” After saying that, Mei Xue turned and walked back to grandma’s house.

As soon as An Liang heard that he was going to tell the third grandma, his whole body became hairy. If the third grandma disagreed, he would inevitably be scolded again.

An Liang sighed and stood waiting at the entrance of the courtyard as if resigned to his fate.

 The worst case scenario is that I will be scolded. Anyway, I have been scolded a lot since I was a child.

It would be great if Brother Anze was at home. There was no need for him to call me because he would have been surrounded by those guys in the village long ago.

Soon, Mei Xue came out with the bucket. Seeing An Liang still standing there, she smiled: "Let's go."

She knew that the younger people in the village were afraid of her grandma, but she didn't expect them to be so afraid.

 “Third Grandma agrees?” An Liang said happily.

“Well, let’s go, your third grandma is asleep, let’s be careful.” After leaving the courtyard gate, Mei Xue closed the door and urged Anliang to leave quickly.

 Compared to playing, sleeping is so boring.

Hearing that the third grandma fell asleep, An Liang's heart dropped, "Sister-in-law, let's go."

 It’s just right to soak in the water at noon, neither cold nor hot, comfortable.

When I walked to the door of Aunt Xilian's house, I saw Anwen waiting there with a big hammer.

"sister in law."

Seeing Mei Xue, An Wen immediately called for someone. He was only one year younger than He Anze, so it was right to call her sister-in-law.

 Mei Xue accepted it well when someone older than her called her sister-in-law, "Well, let's go."

Instead of taking the main road or the creek, take the channel leading to the field and go to the creek. There are many fish there.

 The main reason is that few people use it. Everyone usually washes clothes and other things in the stream at the foot of the mountain. Even if there are fish, they are not very big.

　　I am not too familiar with Xiaoxi Meixue, but I followed them to pick up fish.

 Go all the way towards the rice fields.

"Put it down, I'll come, you two have a rest." It's been almost an hour, there aren't many fish in the bucket, but the two teenagers are already very tired.

Mei Xue had no choice but to let An Liang hold the bucket while she went to get the hammer in An Wen's hand.

 “Give it to me, I am strong.” If this continues, it may not be enough for three people.

An Wen was a bit confused and asked, "Sister-in-law, can you do it?" It's not that he's not tired, but his sister-in-law is a woman. This hammer weighs at least ten kilograms. Can you handle it?

With a look of disgust on her face, Mei Xue said, "I'm better than you." After saying that, she grabbed the hammer from Anwen's hand and said, "Let's go around to the top."

 The water in some parts of the creek is quite deep and you cannot walk across it by yourself. You have to climb up the road and then walk through this section before coming back down.

With Mei Xue taking action, the effect will be great.

"Hurry, there is one there, Brother Anwen, don't let it wake up." Soon after Anliang and the others entered the water, they smashed several rocks, and a lot of fish came out, as big as two fingers.

Mei Xue looked at those fish and thought, they are not bad.

 Then continue.

Because hitting the fish with a hammer can only stun the fish, but cannot kill it. Of course, it can be done if you are strong enough.

When you see a fish turning its belly, you must catch it immediately, otherwise it will wake up.

With the addition of Mei Xue, the fish started to roll over and over as if it had been drugged. Even two people were at a loss to pick it up.

“Sister-in-law, please slow down, slow down, many fish have escaped.” An Wen and An Liang felt distressed.

Meixue glanced at the bucket and slowed down after realizing that there was more than half of the bucket of fish in it.

Smashing all the way, we soon arrived at Mei Xue’s rice field. Mei Xue took a look at the rice in her field and smiled.

 “Let’s go, let’s change to something else.” No more smashing the fish, there are so many fish that it’s enough.

Because the bucket that Mei Xue held was a water-carrying bucket. The bucket could hold at least dozens of kilograms. You can imagine how much more than half of the bucket contained.

 “Why?” An Liang, who was very happy after picking it up, didn’t know.

"Fish alone has no taste. These fish are too small. Let's find some other ones." Eat on the mountain and eat on the sea.

There is no sea here, but there are so many mountains. Mei Xue has long wanted to go and see everywhere, but grandma said that the mountains here belong to the villagers.

　Sometimes it’s not good to go to other people’s mountains.

"ah?"

The two of them were a little confused. "Then what are we doing?"

“Rabbit, remember, let’s go up the mountain.” Mei Xue put away the hammer and put it on her shoulder.

  Walking directly from the creek, "Which of you has a mountain here?" It would be great if you could catch some large animals. Not only can you eat them, but you can also exchange them for some money.

There is no one who knows how to add more updates. Forget it, I won’t add more updates. Yeah, I’ll just wait until next month, haha~~~
