Chapter 5: Lots of Fish
After hearing what Su Erhu said, Su Liuhu said very calmly: "Second brother, don't worry, don't worry about them, they will both doggy paddle."
Da Pan and Er Pan immediately waved their hands and shouted.
“Dog paddle! Dog paddle…”
Su Erhu laughed and bent down to pat his son's little butt.
"Alright! You little bastard, you're worthy of being from our Su family!"
After Su Erhu finished speaking, he took off his clothes, leaving only his underwear full of patches, and jumped directly into the river.
When Su Liuhu saw this, he immediately took off all his clothes, leaving behind even his underwear, and jumped down.
The problem is, he only has one pair of underwear, and if it gets wet, he has nothing to wear.
Soon, all the men in the Su family were busy in the river, which looked like it had been scooped up with a net.
To be honest, both Su Erhu and Su Liuhu felt that their work was in vain.
After all, they had worked in the river a lot in vain.
The people in the village have a hard time. They can't eat meat normally, so when they are craving for meat, they want to eat a fish to satisfy their craving.
Especially the half-grown children, when the weather is warm, they literally take root in the river.
"Brother, something hit me..."
Su Liuhu suddenly stopped, with a hint of uncertainty on his face.
Su Erhu also stopped, his tone hesitant, "Something touched me too, could it be... a fish?"
Are there such big fish in this river?
Judging from his feeling, the thing that touched his leg was at least as wide as his palm.
The two brothers looked at each other and started moving the broken fishing nets in their hands...
The heavy feeling made the two brothers' hearts so heavy that they even forgot to breathe.
Several large white crucian carps floated to the surface of the water along with the fishing net.
Su Erhu's eyes lit up with excitement.
Su Liuhu's voice changed with excitement.
"Second brother! It's really a fish!"
As soon as Su Liuhu finished speaking, Erpan's childish voice rang out.
"Dad, fish! Fish..."
Su Erhu and Su Xiaoliu both thought that Erpan saw the fish in the fishing net.
Su Erhu laughed heartily, "Yes! It's a fish! A big fish! Son, I'll give it to you today..."
"Uncle, fish! Fish..."
Before Su Erhu could finish his words, Da Pan's cry was heard.
Su Erhu looked at the two children with a flushed face. He was about to continue showing off the fish he caught, but his voice got stuck in his throat.
I saw Erpan holding a big red carp in his arms, standing next to a spring with difficulty.
Because the fish was too big and Erpan was too young, the fish fluttered in Erpan's arms, and with a "splash", Erpan sat on the ground, squatting on his butt.
However, the two little hands still held the big fish tightly in their arms and did not let go.
At this time, Da Pan also ran to the spring shouting.
A big fish just jumped out of the spring and flew straight into Da Pan's arms.
With a "splash", Da Pan also squatted down with a big fish in his arms.
Then, one after another...
Su Erhu was stunned.
He didn't even know how he got to the spring.
It was clearly an ordinary spring that only gushed out water, but now it has turned into a spring that is gushing out fish.
Carp, crucian carp, grass carp...they are all fish!
Su Erhu's heart was pounding, and he hurriedly asked Su Liuhu to pick up the fish.
"Da Pan, run home quickly and ask your grandfather to bring a big bucket to catch the fish!"
Su Erhu kept working and giving orders.
"Oh, right, don't shout it out loud, don't let anyone else know, just tell your grandfather secretly! Go quickly!"
"Oh! Got it, Second Uncle!"
Da Pan agreed and ran to the village.
Children from poor families have to grow up early. Although Da Pan is naughty, he knows that he must not let others know about this, otherwise they will come to snatch the fish from their family.
So, even though her face was flushed with excitement, she remained tense and didn't tell anyone along the way.
When Old Man Su heard what Da Pan said, his face was full of disbelief.
He had lived half his life and had never heard of fish coming out of a spring.
However, he also knew that the child could not lie to him.
So, he took the two big wooden barrels at home and went to the river.
Not long after Old Man Su left, Mrs. Su came into the inner room carrying a bowl of dumpling soup.
"Mom, please eat it while it's hot."
As Mrs. Su was speaking, her eyes involuntarily turned to the baby on the kang.
She had never seen such a handsome little baby.
She herself has given birth to several children. Which one of them didn't look like a little monkey when they were born?
No wonder my parents-in-law are so eager to have a daughter.
Mrs. Su couldn't help but think of the discussions she had just heard in the village.
I don’t know if this sister-in-law can really bring wealth to the Su family?
Old Mrs. Su saw that it was a dumpling soup made with white flour, and there were eggs in the sugar water.
Frowning, she asked, "Who did you borrow this from? It's not like you haven't given birth to a child before, so why would you need to borrow these things?"
"Mother, it was Father who asked me to borrow them." Mrs. Su smiled and said, "I borrowed the flour from my second uncle's house, and the eggs from my third grandmother's house."
In fact, Mrs. Su really wanted to say to her mother-in-law, "Dad loves you," but as a daughter-in-law, it was a bit inappropriate for her to say this.
"Your second uncle isn't having a good time either. Don't borrow things from him in the future." Old Madam Su sighed and added, "Neither of their daughters-in-law is worry-free."
When Old Mrs. Su said this, Mrs. Su immediately nodded.
"Mom, where did Dad go? Did Da Pan come back and call Dad away?" asked Mrs. Su.
As a daughter-in-law, she didn't want to inquire about her father-in-law's whereabouts, but she saw her son's little face flushed with excitement, so she was a little curious.
"He didn't say what he was going to do, he was so mysterious." Old Mrs. Su said with her eyes flashing.
Although she heard Da Pan say in the inner room that there were a lot of fish and his second uncle asked Old Man Su to pack the fish, she decided not to tell her daughter-in-law about this uncertain matter for the time being.
However, I have some hope in my heart, always feeling that my little girl can bring good luck.
Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Su couldn't help but look down at her little girl.
Little Tangbao just woke up again.
"Mom, my little aunt has such beautiful eyes." Mrs. Su said in amazement, "And her skin is as tender as egg white. And her eyebrows are so curved, thin, black, and dense. She won't need to draw them in the future. Her little nose is also very delicate, and her little lips are so red..."
Mrs. Su couldn't think of any good words to describe it, she just thought it was beautiful no matter how she looked at it, like a fairy who had fallen into the human world.
Mrs. Su no longer cared about Old Lady Su. She just lay on the edge of the kang and looked at her sister-in-law with curiosity.
"Oh, mother, and these eyelashes, they are so long and thick, like little fans..."
"And these little ears look like little ingots..."
"The earlobes are like little pearls..."
Mrs. Su is illiterate, but what she says is simple and down-to-earth.
