Chapter 329: Let go if you have something to do, don’t disturb if you don’t have anything to do

Ning Xiyue's eyes moved back and forth between Tang Xiaohu, Yu Zhiyu and Chen Yechu, trying to find some clues.

I mainly want to study Tang Xiaohu's eyes.

But the idea is good, the reality is that it cannot be studied for the time being. Chen Yechu pulled Yu Zhiyu out of the crowd and squatted beside the wooden basin looking at the fish.

After taking a few glances, Tang Xiaohu retracted his gaze and sat on the bench to eat his meal seriously.

She was also called by her second brother to select fish and eels in the basin and discuss how to eat these seafood.

Ning Xiyue stood beside the wooden basin and watched the things being poured into the large wooden basin. The three baskets filled the bottom of the basin, crowded together. If Wang Mengmeng and Liu Yao were outside and wanted to use her as a tool again, she would be so scared that she would hide away.

Because the eels and loaches here are more numerous than those caught by the newly arrived educated youth, and they are even more scary when they are tangled together.

There are quite a few fish here, including crucian carp, carp and grass carp.

The carp and grass carp were not too big but not small either, each weighing about one kilogram. Only the crucian carp were generally small, most of them were only the size of two fingers, which were most suitable for frying fish.

The things in these three baskets were taken down by Ning Qingyuan, Yu Zhiyu and Wang Jiandong together. The things in this big wooden basin are under the jurisdiction of these three people.

Because the contents of each basket are different, some have more fish, some have more eels.

The three decided to pour the things together and each pick out what they liked.

Liu Yao was afraid of eels and resisted eating them. She also didn't want to eat the fish mixed with eels, so she decided to eat in the cafeteria.

Yu Zhiyu did not force her and planned to partner with Chen Yechu to cook the fish and eels they caught today. It was equivalent to Chen Yechu and Yu Zhiyu jointly owning the basket of seafood.

He asked Chen Yechu to choose the fish and eels he liked to eat, and Chen Yechu did not hesitate to accept them.

Yu Zhiyu only selected the grass carp and put it into the basket. He had agreed with Ning Qingyuan and Wang Jiandong in advance that the grass carp would belong to him, and they agreed. He had specially reserved it for Chen Yechu.

"This is not good." Chen Yetu said in a low voice, pointing at the grass carp in the basket.

There were two big fish in total, but they just took one and left, feeling inappropriate.

"It's okay, we've already agreed on it." Yu Zhiyu said softly.

Only then did Chen Yechu feel at ease to choose other ones.

Ning Xiyue also squatted beside the wooden basin with a basket in her hand.

Since Ning Xiyue and Ning Qingyuan didn't want to be the carp, the remaining carp directly belonged to Comrade Wang Jiandong.

"How do you think we should eat these fish and eels?" Ning Qingyuan asked happily as he held a basin of water and poured it into a large wooden basin.

"Stir-fry the eels with chili peppers and make stir-fried eel slices, which is very fragrant. These fish can be used to make fish soup or fried fish, which should be very good and will not have a fishy smell." Chen Yetu expressed his thoughts on these eels and fish.

Chen Yechu dared to guarantee that as long as Liu Yao tried a little, she would definitely like it.

Yu Zhiyu immediately responded to Chen Yechu's words: "Then let's eat like this today."

"Then I'll do the same." Wang Jiandong thought it was a good idea after hearing it.

"Little sister, how should we eat?" Ning Qingyuan did not agree, but asked Ning Xiyue what she thought.

"Let's select more yellow eels and stir-fry them, stir-fry eel slices with pickled cabbage. If we can't finish them, we can use them as meat sauce. Let's cook dumpling soup and pour a spoonful of it when eating noodles. It should be delicious."

Ning Xiyue pointed to the large stone vat next to her and said, "You can also raise the extra eels in a stone vat like mine with lotus roots and eat them later."

"Sister Yue, can I put the fish basket in your tank for two days? I can't finish all the fish in a short time. Others in the Youth League only eat in the cafeteria. It's hard for me to eat alone."

Wang Jiandong wanted to keep it for a few days and take it to the town to exchange it for things when he had free time.

"Okay, go ahead and raise them. You can raise whatever you want. But first, I want to make it clear that the risk of the eels and fish getting lost or dying is your own. I'm not responsible."

Although the relationship is good, Ning Xiyue still has to say the ugly things first.

"OK."

Wang Jiandong and Ning Xiyue high-fived happily.

Several people were sharing eels and fish here. The newly arrived educated youth had no chance to get a word in, but fortunately he was eating with his meal in his hands, so he didn't feel awkward.

At this time, Zhao Jianshe and Wu Guifang came back.

Ning Xiyue handed the basket to Ning Qingyuan and stood up.

"Sister Guifang, Brother Jianshe, these four are new educated youth. The captain asked me to tell you that we will arrange them according to the old rules. But I have told them almost everything else. The only problem at the moment is the food rations."

"Okay, got it."

Wu Guifang nodded and went over to greet the two female educated youth, while Zhao Jianshe greeted the two male educated youth.

After defeating the four new educated youths, Ning Xiyue felt relieved immediately, as if a big thing had been resolved in her heart.

Ning Xiyue had something to do and Tang Xiaohu was listening to Wu Guifang talk about something, so she temporarily stopped paying attention to what Tang Xiaohu's eyes meant.

After dividing the fish and eels, Ning Xiyue put the eels to be eaten later into the basket and the lid, put a hemp rope on it, tied a stone to the other end, and hung the basket in the tank, placing it upright with only the mouth of the basket exposed outside the water.

Wang Jiandong and Yu Zhiyu also followed suit and hung the remaining parts in the large water tank where lotus roots were grown, just as Ning Xiyue had done.

Ning Xiyue pulled Chen Yechu towards the kitchen at the back, while Yu Zhiyu and Ning Qingyuan followed behind carrying wooden basins.

Opening the kitchen, Ning Xiyue handed Chen Yetu the two kilograms of meat that she had been asked to bring.

Then they all went back to the kitchen to process the eels and fish.

"Brother, you take care of the fish, I'll go make buns and dumplings, we'll eat them tonight."

Ning Xiyue looked at the jam made of cherries in the automatic kitchen of the space. It was purple-red and very tempting. It should be good for making dumplings.

"Okay, I'll go outside and find a nail to dig out the eel."

Ning Qingyuan muttered as he looked for nails and boards.

He took out a hammer and hammered it several times, finally nailing a nail into the wooden board. The tool for digging eels was ready.

Ning Xiyue saw him pick up an eel and hang its head on the nail without blinking. The eel's body kept twisting, and he grabbed its body and cut it open with a small knife.

It is a bit cruel when killing it and a bit greedy when eating it.

Ning Xiyue stopped looking and turned to wash her hands and make buns and dumplings.

She only packed enough for dinner and then stopped.

After putting the vehicle repair book on the table, Ning Xiyue took the vegetable seeds and sprouted watermelon seeds and walked towards the dug vegetable patch.

"Brother, I'll go plant the vegetable seeds and watermelons first. When you're done, fetch two buckets of water and water the fields."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll be done soon." Ning Qingyuan looked at the only two fish left in the wooden basin and quickened his pace.

Ning Xiyue carried a hoe and walked towards her vegetable garden which was almost cultivated.

She was planting vegetables with great enthusiasm when Wu Guifang and the new educated youth came here. However, she did not disturb Ning Xiyue from working. She just pointed at the vegetable plot from a distance and introduced it to the two new female educated youth behind her.

"Everyone has a private plot of land where you can grow vegetables, but you need to cultivate the land yourself. The few plots of land you see now that have been cultivated are owned by someone else, and the vegetables are also someone else's. You can't just pick them randomly, so if you want to eat any vegetables, you can grow them yourself and have enough food and clothing by yourself."

As Wu Guifang spoke, she motioned for everyone to look at Ning Xiyue who was working hard: "Look, the old educated youth all do it themselves."

"Okay, got it."

Ning Xiyue heard Wu Guifang's words from behind, as if she was setting a role model for the new educated youth, with a slightly proud tone, and she inexplicably felt a little funny and embarrassed.

She just did this on a whim. The land was reclaimed by her second brother, and she wanted to have some fresh fruits and vegetables to eat when summer came.

The main purpose is to grow watermelons and tomatoes to quench thirst in summer.

However, although Ning Xiyue thought so in her heart, she actually acted in accordance with Wu Guifang's words and worked even harder to dig holes and plant the watermelon seeds that had just sprouted.

Tang Xiaohu at the back clenched his fist and nodded: "I will come to reclaim the land this afternoon."

Wu Guifang didn't say anything. Her original intention was to tell these newly arrived educated youth not to think of eating the ready-made food without doing anything, as that was impossible.

After saying these words, he took his people away after looking at the place.

Ning Xiyue was still working hard to dig holes and sow vegetable seeds, working hard for food.

After a while, Tang Xiaohu tiptoed over and greeted Ning Xiyue with a smile.

"Xiyue, you are growing vegetables. You are amazing. You know how to do everything. Your hoeing movements are very neat and handsome. You have cultivated this piece of land very well..."

Ning Xiyue felt embarrassed listening to this long string of flattery, and raised her right eyebrow slightly, "Well, just tell me what you want to say. I still have to grow vegetables, so I don't have time to chat with you for the time being."

The implication is that if there is something going on, let it go; if there is nothing going on, don't bother.
