The next day, Fu Hong and Fu Sui took Fu Shaoyu to the river, threw the bait given by Fu Xiao into the river, and caught a lot of fish with the fishing net.

Fu Shaoyu was a little surprised: "So many..."

"We only brought two buckets, so we can't fill them all..."

Fu Hong smiled and threw the smaller ones back into the river, "We only take the big ones... we don't want the small ones."

“There are so many fish in the river?”

"My father puts new fish fry in the pond every year, and anyone in the village who can catch them can take them home,"

Fu Shaoyu chuckled: "Uncle is quite thoughtful..."

Fu Hong smiled and said, "We were poor before. Our family was not bad because we got a lot of salary and didn't starve. But many people in the village didn't eat meat all year round, and we couldn't afford pork. Fish is still meat after all."

Seeing that he was silent, Fu Sui smiled and asked him, "What are you thinking about?"

Fu Shaoyu raised his eyes, "When An An was a child, I don't know if he had ever suffered..."

After these words were spoken, Fu Hong and Fu Sui were speechless.

"That's true. According to grandpa, her uncle has spoiled her since she was a child. Our Fu family is not poor, so she has never suffered any hardship. After coming to Dashan Village, she almost plucked all the pheasants on the back mountain..."

Fu Hong laughed and said, "I guess the animals in the mountains are scared of her now."

Fu Shaoyu was amused by his words.

"Okay, stop talking, and take it home quickly,"

After returning home, those who knew how to kill fish became busy. Fu Hong, who was about to scrape the fish scales, looked at Fu Kai and said, "You have learned it, haven't you? Come on, try it."

Fu Kai smiled and said, "Brother, I don't think I'm very experienced yet, so you should do it."

"Why are you so stupid? Come here and learn from me..."

"No, brother, my sister is calling me, I'll go see what she wants from me."

Fu Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Just bully my second brother."

"How can this be called bullying?" Fu Kai said with a smile: "What's wrong with an older brother helping his younger brother..."

Grandpa Fu laughed and said, "Ah Hong's brain is really miserable. When he was young, he was ordered around by the eldest brother. Now that he has grown up, it is his younger brother's turn."

Mr. Mu said: "Hong might have done it on purpose..."

"Eh, that's not true. He really hasn't changed his mind. If you don't believe me, go ask..."

Fu Kai smiled and took Grandpa Mu's arm, "Grandpa Mu, don't go."

Several people couldn't help laughing.

Fu Xiao stood up and said, "I'm going to help my aunt fry the fish."

In the kitchen, Fu Jingshu was sitting on a small stool in front of the stove, making a fire. Li Xiufen was praising her for making a good fire.

She smiled and said, "I used to cook when I was a kid..."

Fu Xiao walked in and said with a smile: "Mom, you are much better than me. I didn't know how to light this stove at first, especially the bellows. I didn't know how to do it."

Li Xiufen nodded, "Yes, when she was learning how to cook, the firewood in our house ran out the fastest."

Fu Jingshu smiled...

Mu Lianshen came in with another cleaned fish, went to the chopping board and cut it into small pieces.

Fu Xiao tilted his head and looked at it. "Dad, make it a little bigger. Remember, it should be a little bigger. Don't make it too big."

He cut a piece and said, "Is this okay?"

"Can..."

After cutting the fish into pieces, Fu Xiao put them in a large bowl and marinated them with onions, ginger, garlic and spices.

Seeing that the basin was full, Mu Lianshen looked at Li Xiufen and said, "Sister-in-law, that's enough."

Li Xiufen waved her hand, "It's not enough. Everyone in my family likes it. Let's fry more this time and bring some back to Beijing for the kids. We need to eat it at home. Cut another pot."

"Oh, okay,"

"Jingshu, turn down the heat. You can't use too much fire to fry these sweet potato balls."

Looking at the golden fried meatballs, Li Xiufen said with a smile: "This way of eating was taught to me by Xiaoxiao."

"You know what, it tastes really good when it's fried."

Fu Xiao looked at her and said, "Aunt, isn't this the same as making carrot balls..."

Li Xiufen turned her head suddenly, "Oh, when you mentioned carrot meatballs, I remembered that I forgot to cut the carrots, and I was planning to fry some salty meatballs..."

"It's not too late now,"

"Yes," Li Xiufen shouted outside, "Fu Hong, dig two radishes for me and wash them..."

"knew..."

After the sweet potato balls are fried, the radish batter is also prepared and it’s time to start frying the radish balls.

The fire in the Fu family's kitchen never stopped burning throughout the afternoon.

We had meatball soup and freshly fried fish fillets in the evening.

Fu Jingshu looked at Li Xiufen and said, "Sister-in-law, your fried fish is delicious. How come it doesn't have any fishy smell at all?"

Li Xiufen smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao pickled the fish well, so I'll be in charge of cooking..."

Fu Xiao squatted at the kitchen door holding a bowl and approached Grandpa Fu. "Grandpa, I will return to Beijing tomorrow. If you want me to be patient for a few days, I will come back after I am done."

Grandpa Fu drank a mouthful of soup and glared at her unhappily, "Who said I missed you..."

"Oh, now I have a great-grandson, so I am not so attractive..."

"You little devil..." Grandpa Fu scolded with a smile, "Go play somewhere else, you are the only one who talks too much..."

Fu Hong on the opposite side chuckled.

"What are you laughing at? Remember to be careful on your way home tomorrow. If you encounter a difficult place, drive slowly."

Fu Xiao said: "It's okay, it's not cold now, and the road is not frozen..."

....

After dinner, Mu Lianshen came to Mr. Mu's house to help him pack his luggage.

Mr. Mu sat on the bed and looked at him. "Do you need me to say no to Old Ye?"
