While reading a novel, Li Ruolan was surprised to find that her and her husband's names appeared in a period novel. They were educated youths sent to the countryside along with the male and fem...
Chapter 110 Want Fish
Li Ruolan smiled and said, "Maybe it's innate. My parents said I started talking quite early when I was a child."
Guo Xiaoya said: "An An is also smart and has learned to speak a lot of words. But my daughter Mingzhu will be one year old in two days, but she can only call mom and dad, and can't say anything else."
"Take it slow with children. Each child is different." Li Ruolan said to her.
Zhou Shengnan carried Qingqing over and asked him to stand on the kang: "See if he can take a few steps."
Qingqing could stand for a while, but she still couldn't take a step. She would fall down as soon as she took a step. Ningning was the same.
"The clothes you wear now are thick. I think you can learn to walk after you take them off." Li Ruolan smiled as she watched her daughter and son unable to even stand steadily, and looking crooked.
"Ah! Look!" Zheng Fanghua suddenly shouted. Li Ruolan turned her head and saw An An standing on the kang, walking two or three steady steps, and then sitting down on the kang.
"An An will leave soon. That's good." Li Ruolan said immediately.
Qin Wan said, "Before, I always asked him to stand against the wall, but he just learned to walk these past two days."
After hearing this, Guo Xiaoya also asked Mingzhu to try. Mingzhu's legs were quite stable and she could stand in the same place for a while, but she still couldn't take a step.
"Let me tell you, every child is different. My child started talking early, while An An and Ming Zhu started walking early." Li Ruolan said.
At noon, Deng Minghao prepared a large table of delicious food. The men wanted to drink, so they ate outside in the kitchen.
Li Ruolan and her friends ate on the kang in the house.
During the meal, Qin Wan saw that Zheng Hongmei liked the children very much, so she asked her: "If it weren't for the previous incident, you would probably have your own children. What do you think?"
Everyone looked at Zheng Hongmei, and she just smiled and said, "I think it's pretty good. I have an easy job and can get along well with everyone.
If I get married, I will have to take care of the whole family, and then it would be better to be alone and relaxed."
Li Ruolan nodded: "It's good that you think this way, right? This spit can drown people. You don't know what has been spread outside during this period."
"Spread it however you want. Anyway, I feel very comfortable." Zheng Hongmei said with a happy face.
Qin Wan looked at Zheng Hongmei: "Actually, I have a selfish reason for asking you this. You know Zhou Yuanshan in the team, right?"
Zheng Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then she realized that Qin Wan wanted to matchmake for her. However, she seemed to have heard of the name Zhou Yuanshan, but she couldn't figure out who he was.
Li Ruolan thought for a moment and said, "I seem to have heard Aunt Guihua mention this person. He seems to have no one left at home."
Qin Wan nodded: "Zhou Yuanshan and Lu Yunxiao grew up together since childhood, and they are so close that they wear the same pants.
But he was not in our brigade, but lived in the Hongqi Brigade next door. He was married, but his wife died of complications during childbirth and even lost the child.
He is really a nice person. He has no parents at home and lives alone in a brick house. He is also very capable.
Of course, I'm just mentioning it to you. If you want to see me, then go ahead. If you don't want to see me, then just pretend I didn't say anything today."
Zhou Yuanshan is indeed a nice person, but this is not his first marriage after all. She was just helping to mention it. As for whether Zheng Hongmei is willing to meet him, it all depends on her own feelings.
Zheng Hongmei just smiled and said, "Let me think about it."
Qin Wan hummed.
After the meal, everyone helped to clean up the dishes and went back. Deng Minghao didn't drink too much, but his face was a little red.
He stole a glance at Li Ruolan several times, and Li Ruolan knew that Deng Minghao was definitely not holding back: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Deng Minghao smiled and scratched his head: "Hey, I haven't gone fishing for a long time. The weather is good today, and the ice will melt soon, so I want to go fishing."
Li Ruolan also knew that Deng Minghao had been holding back for a long time, so she nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead, but you have to be back before tonight."
Deng Minghao had already prepared everything. As soon as Li Ruolan said so, he took his fishing rod and left.
Li Ruolan smiled and shook her head, coaxing the two children to sleep. After the two children fell asleep, she also slept for a while.
Deng Minghao made an appointment with Lu Yunxiao, Chen Yi and others to go fishing together.
There were also many villagers guarding the ice on the river bank.
Ever since Deng Minghao mentioned that corn could be used for fishing, people from the team would come here to fish every winter.
After all, it's meat.
Deng Minghao, Shen Yi and Ji Hongjun dug the holes first, while Lu Yunxiao and Liu Kunming were responsible for arranging the fishing rods and then hanging corn on the hooks.
The five people were some distance away from the people from the main team. I don’t know if it was because there had never been any fish caught here before or what, but after a few people cast their hooks, they caught several fish in a short while.
Although they are not big, only the size of a palm, the small fish can be used to make fish soup.
Lu Yunxiao was lucky and soon caught a big carp weighing about two kilograms.
As soon as the fish was placed on the ice, a voice suddenly came from behind Lu Yunxiao: "Second brother, our mother is sick. Why don't you let me take this fish back for her to eat."
When a few people turned around, they saw Lu Yunfei, Lu Yunxiao's elder brother.
Ever since Lu Yunxiao sold his job in the transport team, Lu Yunfei was released, but he lost his job and had to come back to work.
He used to be plump, but in the past year or two, he became dark and thin.
Lu Yunxiao refused expressionlessly: "My son is still young and has just been weaned. I want to take this fish soup back to make soup for my son."
Lu Yunfei immediately became anxious: "Second brother, why are you like this now? I haven't seen you go back to see mom when she was sick.
Now I ask you for a fish and you won't give me one. Do you know that you are unfilial? "
Deng Minghao acted as if he had heard something funny and said, "You were not there at the time, but your parents and your wife all knew about it. Your family disliked Lu Yunxiao for having a broken leg and not being able to stand up in the future, so they signed the divorce agreement.
This letter of severance was written in front of us and the captain. Lu Yunxiao has no relationship with your family. He is the son-in-law of the Qin family. What relationship does he have with you?"
"You stand in front of Lu Yunxiao so confidently. Have you forgotten that his leg was broken because of you?" Shen Yi stared at Lu Yunfei coldly.
Lu Yunfei pursed his lips and took a few steps back, but his eyes were still fixed on the fish on the ground.
He used to work in a transport team, earning forty or fifty yuan a month, which whetted his wife's appetite. Now that he has no job, his wife still wants to eat and dress well.
The family was so poor that they could barely make ends meet, but the wife still wanted to wear new clothes and buy leather shoes.
Lu Yunfei and his family haven't eaten meat for a long time. The claim that his mother was sick was not a lie, but a real serious illness.
