Chapter 297 Big Fish
"Mom, I'm thinking about how hard Dad and Uncle Sun have worked to build houses in the village. I think the food they eat is probably not that good, so I bought some meat and fish. The fish is quite big, and we can't finish it all. Tomorrow Dad can bring some to Uncle Sun. We're busy all day, how can we not eat something good?"
Aunt Wu and Aunt Li nearby were happier to see Tang Yue still thinking about their man than eating the meat themselves. They couldn't express any words of gratitude. They hoped that she would work harder and take care of the baby more seriously in the future.
"Yueyue is pregnant, so let's quickly clean it up and save it for dinner."
Zhao's mother took the basket from her daughter-in-law and was surprised to see two such big fish in it. She hadn't seen such big fish for a long time, of course, fish from the sea didn't count.
"Yueyue, where did you buy two such big fish? Each one weighs nearly 10 kilograms. I haven't seen such big freshwater fish in years. How about making some fish balls later? Dabao and his friends can also eat them, and they are more nutritious."
"Okay, Mom, I'll do whatever you say. The fish head can be made into chopped pepper fish head. I think we have chili sauce made from chopped chili peppers at home. The remaining fish head can be used to make fish head soup, which should be very nutritious."
As soon as Tang Yue mentioned chopped pepper fish head, she felt her mouth watering. She hadn't eaten this dish for a long time and she really wanted to eat it.
The fish head and tofu soup is also very good. I don’t have the ability to cook something so delicious, but I can ask my mother-in-law to cook it, and then I have to take out some more ingredients.
"Okay, chop the middle part of the fish into meat paste. There are few bones in this part, which is just right for babies to eat. It should be enough to make nine pounds of fish balls. The fish is really too big, so you go and look after the babies while you and your aunt clean up the fish."
"Okay, Mom, then push us into the house. The weather in Dazhong is hot, too. Don't get prickly heat."
"Okay, then what do you want to eat?"
"Mom, just cook something simple. We'll have something delicious tonight, so just make do with it."
"Okay, I'll arrange it. I'll serve it to you at dinner time."
Tang Yue pushed the babies into the house, took them out of the stroller and put them on the kang. As soon as they were placed on the kang, their hands and feet started moving non-stop. Although it was comfortable to push them in the stroller, the space for movement was too small. Once they were on the kang, they had more room to move.
Seeing that they would not cry, she walked out of the house and came to the yard, saying to the older babies who were still running around, "Big baby, second baby, first baby, and little baby, come into the house quickly, come to your mother."
After shouting, he went straight into the house. Before they came, he took out a basin of hot water from the wooden basin in the space. He was sweating profusely, so how could he not take a shower?
"Mom, what are you doing?"
"It's so hot outside, I'm afraid you'll get a heat stroke, so I'll have to get you in to rest, line you up, and wash your faces. Your faces are all dirty, how come they're so dirty?"
Tang Yue looked at Dabao and the others, each with a face full of dust. If she didn't know, she might have thought they had gone into the chimney. Even Jiaobao, a girl, was like this. It was really unbearable to watch.
I found a set of new clothes for them, took them off one by one, and wiped them all with a towel dipped in hot water. They would have to take another bath in the evening.
"Jiaobao, you, the girl, come and wash first. You can't play so crazy with your brothers in the future. Girls should be more quiet. You run around so much. Look, your knees are bruised. It will be so ugly if you leave a scar."
Even though I have magic water that can remove scars, I would try not to use it if I can. It will cause me pain and leave scars on my body.
"Mom, don't be angry. When you grow up a little bit, you won't play with your brothers anymore."
"Little brat, do you know what it means to grow up?"
"You know, when we go to school, we will be grown up. Then we won't play with our brothers anymore. We will play hopscotch with other girls."
These words really left Tang Yue speechless. After washing Jiaobao, she quickly put new clothes on them. These were all bought in modern times, and there were still plenty of clothes left for them to wear until they were five or six years old.
After I wiped them all, it finally returned to its beautiful appearance before. The water turned black. It must have been crawling all over the ground, otherwise the water would not be so black.
I changed them into clean new clothes, asked them to wait outside in the living room, and cut watermelon for them to eat.
"Oh, there's watermelon to eat."
When he heard that there was watermelon to eat, he was so excited that he ran straight to the living room without being urged. It turned out that no child could refuse snacks.
Watching them run out, Tang Yue collected the dirty water in the basin into the space, then poured the dirty water onto the ground in the space, took the basin to the river to clean it, and then placed the basin in the space yard to dry.
I tidied the house, put our dirty clothes in a basin, and prepared to wash the clothes after I cut the watermelon for them.
I brought out a small watermelon from my parents-in-law's room. Even though the watermelon looks small, it weighs five or six pounds. The big kids will definitely not be able to finish it.
Just cut it in half and put it aside, and cut the other side into small pieces to make it easier for babies to eat.
I brought a plate back from the kitchen, cut the watermelon into slices and put them on the plate, then brought it back to the kitchen for the mothers-in-law to eat.
Always reward yourself for all the hard work in the kitchen.
"Come on, mom, aunts, eat a slice of watermelon first, then come to work!"
Mother Zhao didn't hesitate to eat the watermelon. She picked it up and started eating. While eating, she didn't forget to help the people around her. "Sister Wu, Sister Li, eat a piece of watermelon first. It won't take a little time."
"No hurry, wait until you finish breaking the fish and then eat it."
After Tang Yue sent the watermelon to the kitchen, she took the basin of dirty clothes and went to the well to fetch water for washing. Ever since the eldest children could run around, the clothes had never been clean, and she didn't know how much soap was wasted.
Fortunately, I can make my own soap in the space, otherwise I would have run out of soap. It’s not a matter of money, but of frequent shortages.
Every time I wash my kids' clothes, I feel lucky that I have enough strength to wash them clean.
"Mom, help me wash my hands."
Tang Yue looked at the watermelon-stained bodies of them, and the anger rushed straight to the top of her head. She kept saying to herself, "My own child, my own child, you can't hit them, you can't hit them."
