No one cared what Wang Erbing said to Zhang Xiu'e when he got back, but miraculously, they didn't quarrel.
It was never mentioned again.
Wang Zhaozhao told Xie Ailian about her thoughts, and Xie Ailian told her to stay put and not think about anything else.
Seeing that she seemed a little unconvinced, Xie Ailian snorted coldly, "If you want to make trouble, I won't stop you. If anything happens, don't expect me to help you."
"I won't make trouble." Wang Zhaozhao answered firmly.
So, the idea of making money died.
Wang Baojia only boasted about eating popsicles for a few days, earning him countless envy and saliva.
The system upgrade was still ongoing, so Wang Zhaozhao made up for the missed time from 8 to 10 pm during the day.
So, she studied early in the morning, digested her breakfast and continued to study, took a break for lunch and rested at two o'clock, and continued to study. When it got dark and it was too tiring to see things, she would pack up.
The same goes for Wang Xingwen and Wang Weiguo.
The adults usually have to go out to work. Even if they come back occasionally to drink water or go to the toilet, I always see them studying and think they are quite self-disciplined. But after it rained twice, the feeling was very different.
"They don't usually do this, do they?" Xie Ailian, who had just come back from cutting hemp leaves and was preparing to twist the hemp into thread for shoe soles, asked Qiao Li in a low voice.
"That should be the case. Every time I come back to go to the bathroom, they are studying." Qiao Li said.
Xie Ailian thought for a moment and said, "It was the same when I came back."
There’s no escape then!
Xie Ailian glanced over there again, "Is this crazy? Is it okay?"
Hearing this, Qiao Li was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Mom, other people worry about their children not liking to study, but you...you're worried about your child loving to study too much?"
"Aren't you worried? I'm afraid they'll become stupid."
"...How about, when the weather clears up, let the fourth one take them out to play?"
Qiao Li tentatively made a suggestion.
Xie Ailian opened her mouth to agree, but changed her mind when the words hit her lips, "If the fourth brother takes them out to play, it will either go to the town or the county, which will cost money. I'd better take them to the mountains. There is an old bayberry tree in a mountain cave behind the depression. Let's see if we can pick some green bayberries."
Qiao Li smiled and nodded in support, "It's nice to go for a walk in the mountains."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it and the matter was settled.
At this time, Wang Sibing and his brothers came back from outside with straw raincoats on their backs. Their straw sandals made a "creaking" sound as they walked on the wet ground.
This time the rain was heavy, the river was muddy, and the water level rose.
In such a situation, there will be fish to catch in the river.
The four brothers went fishing, and most of the families in the village went too.
There are no fish ponds in their village or any other village within the village, but if it rains heavily in the summer, the river water becomes extremely muddy and the water level rises very high, and then there will be fish in the river.
It should be a mountain further inside, with an underground river...
"Are you back? How is it?" Qiao Li went up to help Wang Sibing take the bucket.
"It's okay, enough for two or three meals." Wang Sibing replied with a smile.
Wang Baojia, who had to follow Wang Zhaozhao and the others because of the rain, could no longer sit still. It was already eleven o'clock anyway, so Wang Zhaozhao simply went along to join in the fun.
Wow……
There was half a bucket of fish and loaches of all sizes.
She noticed that this was her fourth uncle's harvest, and Wang Fangbing and the other three had taken it back.
"Why is there a grass carp?" Wang Zhaozhao found a rather large grass carp in the barrel. "Fourth Uncle, you're not..."
Did you buy it?
Are there wild grass carp in the river? This question is beyond Wang Zhaozhao's knowledge.
Xie Ailian waved her hand. "What's the big deal? As long as the water level rises, we can find all kinds of fish in our river."
oh.
Wang Zhaozhao accepted her ignorance; after all, she was not yet eleven years old.
Here it is appropriate to use an old man's favorite saying: Her grandmother has eaten more salt than she has eaten rice.
"I'll clean the fish while I'm at it. My hands are fishy anyway, so I'd like you to avoid getting them dirty..." said Wang Sibing.
Xie Ailian glanced at him and felt a little unhappy.
It’s different now that I’m married. In the past, I had to rely on her arrangements before I could do anything.
"Grandma, is it true that the more the water rises, the more and bigger the fish will be?" Wang Zhaozhao asked her when she saw the look in Xie Ailian's eyes when she looked at Wang Sibing.
"Isn't it?" Xie Ailian became excited when she talked about this. "One year, there were heavy rains for several days in a row, and there was a flood. The rice fields along the road in our village were almost flooded.
When the rain stops and the water recedes, there are basically fish in the deeper puddles in the river.
Your grandfather was lucky. He found a big grass carp in a small pond and almost caught it, but the fish jumped behind a big rock and disappeared.
Seeing that it was a big grass carp, how could he not catch it? So he tried to pry the stone, and found a big puddle behind it.
It is equivalent to having one or two meters of double-layered water in the river.
After a lot of effort, I finally caught twelve grass carps weighing three or four pounds, a large silver carp weighing eight pounds and thirty-two pounds, and other small fish, loaches, and eels. I filled two large buckets with them."
Wow……
Wang Zhaozhao and the other kids all opened their mouths wide.
"Then... did you get it back?" Wang Baojia asked.
"Nonsense! Why don't you take it back and throw it away?" Xie Ailian's eyes were full of 'what a stupid question'.
Wang Zhaozhao rephrased the question for Wang Baojia, "How could anyone be happy about this? Everyone who sees it will want a share, and if they're not given a share, they'll complain to the brigade or even the commune..."
