My courtyard shelter

"Mom, we are back. ReadМ"

Xu's mother ran out with Xiaobao in her arms and asked with concern: "Have you bought the fish?"

"I bought it back, and I have a small half car!" Yang Lina replied with a smile.

"Let me see it quickly."

Xu Dong opened the car door, and Xu Ma couldn't wait to go forward and look through it a few times, then said with satisfaction:

"Yes, they are wild small fish. In the past, they cost ten yuan a pound in the market."

"Mom, what should I do with these fish?" Xu Dong said with a headache.

There are more than a thousand kilograms of small miscellaneous fish, the largest of which is no more than the size of a palm. If you deal with them one by one, it will probably drive people crazy.

Yang Lina suggested: "Why don't we pick out the big ones and make them into salted fish, and use the small ones to feed the chickens!"

"No, it's too wasteful."

Xu's mother shook her head repeatedly. How could the fish she bought for nearly half a million yuan be used to feed chickens? What an international joke!

"Mom, what do you want to do with it?" Yang Lina wasn't angry either. She was in a good mood after buying so many fish today.

Xu Ma thought for a while and said:

"The big ones will be made into salted fish as you say.

Don’t remove the internal organs of the small ones, just dry them in the sun. Wild fish eat grass and are not dirty at all. That’s how your dad and I ate when we were young.

Well, finally pick some and freeze them in the refrigerator. The fresh ones taste better and you can eat them until the Chinese New Year. "

"Okay, just do what mom said!" Xu Dong responded before his wife could.

Yang Lina usually likes to be clean, so she may not be able to accept this kind of dried fish.

"Then we have to hurry up. I heard the weather forecast said it might rain for a few days. Then there will be trouble if there is no sun." Xu's mother said worriedly.

Xu Dong comforted him: "It's okay. Isn't there an oven at home? Charcoal grilling is the same."

"How big is the oven? How can you bake so many fish?" Xu Ma asked.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, old man." Xu Dong immediately "surrendered."

The next dinner included a large plate of braised crucian carp and crispy river shrimp, and the Coco sisters ate happily.

After dinner, except Yang Lina who had to take care of the triplets, Xu Ma gathered everyone else and started to deal with the miscellaneous fish.

Even the twins had to help.

"Keke, Lele, you two try to pick out all the big fish, do you know?"

"Milk, how big of a fish is considered a big fish?" Lele asked doubtfully. In her eyes, there was no big fish in the plastic bucket at all.

Xu's mother asked her granddaughter to open her palms and gesture: "Anything longer than your palm is considered a big fish. Pick them all and put them in the red bucket."

"I understand." Lele nodded, while Coco beside him had already begun to work hard.

Xu's mother, including Xu Dong and Xu's father, were responsible for killing the fish. Because the fish were too small, they simply used scissors to kill the fish.

The first step is to simply scrape the fish scales a few times; the second step is to cut off the fish head; the third step is to cut the fish belly; the last step is to tear out the internal organs.

After working continuously for more than an hour, Xu Dong was so tired that he could not straighten his waist and had two big blisters on his fingers.

In this way, everyone finally finished disposing of a large bucket of trash fish.

And there are at least five or six more barrels like this, which makes people’s scalp numb just thinking about it.

"Okay, that's it for tonight, Coco, Lele, you two go take a shower quickly, your bodies are all smelling like fish." Xu's mother ordered.

"knew."

"Don't shower, use a basin to collect water for washing." Xu Ma reminded.

It’s not that the old lady is stingy, but the tap water supply has been tight recently, and there is often no water for the whole day, so the water in the water tank must be used sparingly.

…

When Xu Dong lay on the bed, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

"Oh, I'm so exhausted!"

Yang Lina was applying a facial mask. When she heard this, she said distressedly: "Hubby, do you want me to massage it on you?"

"Okay!" Xu Dong immediately turned over and lay on the bed, pointed at his lower back and said, "If you press this, you will almost die of soreness."

Yang Lina came over and asked, "Is this strong enough?"

"Push harder!"

"how about this?"

"Okay, this intensity is just right." Xu Dong kept moaning, it was really so comfortable.

After pressing and pressing, Yang Lina suddenly said: "Husband, my mother wants to come to Yanjing to see us?"

"Who did you say was coming?"

Xu Dong turned over immediately, and his waist was no longer sore.

"My mother, your mother-in-law." Yang Lina repeated.

"No, anyone can come, but your mother's family can't." Xu Dong shook his head and said, it is really this family that has done a great job.

This thing sounds ridiculous.

I think back when he and Yang Lina got married, the mother-in-law agreed that the 300,000 yuan in gift money would be given to her daughter as a dowry.

They were just trying to be decent, and Xu Dong stupidly believed it to be true.

As a result, not to mention 300,000 yuan, not even a dime was paid as a dowry, and the young couple had a quarrel for half a month.

Although the two finally reconciled.

But after this incident, the two parties completely fell out. Xu Dong did not hate the other party for being greedy, but hated them for deceiving his own daughter.

Over the years, Yang Lina has also never returned to her parents' home.

"My mother has no other intention. She just wants to come over and see Keke, Lele, and Dabao. The children haven't met grandma yet?"

After all, after so many years, although Yang Lina was still angry, she really couldn't bear to refuse her elderly mother.

"I don't agree, no matter how much I say."

Xu Dong raised his voice unconsciously. In his previous life, his mother-in-law never came to visit her grandchildren. Luyang was obviously closer.

It really fits the saying:

If you are poor in a busy city, no one will ask you. If you are rich in a remote mountain, you will have distant relatives.

"Okay, okay, if it doesn't work, then it doesn't work. Why are you talking so loudly?" Seeing that her husband was a little emotional, Yang Lina had to give up persuading him temporarily.

Then, the couple had a good communication.

Xu Dong finally added: "In short, I will not let your mother and others enter our house. Don't blame me for being ruthless. I am also doing this for the good of our family."

"Okay, go to bed!"

Yang Lina sighed, and at the same time she gave up the idea of ​​letting her mother come to Yanjing. It was not easy for her family to get to where they are today. It was not worth it to have a conflict over such a trivial matter.

No words were spoken all night.

The next morning, Xu's mother secretly called her son aside: "Old Three, did you quarrel with Nana last night?"

"No." Xu Dong quickly denied.

"You still say no? The noise was so loud that your dad and I heard it downstairs."

Xu Dong had no choice but to tell what happened last night.

After hearing this, Xu's mother immediately exploded: "Shameless, dare to come to our door, who gave her the face?"

Xu Dong "hushed" and asked his mother to speak softly, if his wife heard it, it would only intensify the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xu's mother restrained herself a little: "Hmph, Lao San, don't worry, mom is at home, I want to see if this old woman dares to come in."

"Mom, don't worry, Nana promised me that she would not let those people come to our house without my consent."

"That's decent!"

In the next two days, after the diligent work of the family, more than a thousand kilograms of small fish were finally all finished.

Half was made into salted fish, and half was directly dried into small dried fish. In a blink of an eye, the yard became a "fish forest".
