In the morning, Xiao Li opened her eyes very early. Sure enough, it was raining, but it had gradually stopped.
The village loudspeaker has already announced that there will be no work today.
Xiao Li decided to go for a walk by the lake. Her family was running low on food, and she wanted to see if she could find anything.
At least we can pick some wild vegetables or something.
Wang Hongguang was still asleep when Xiaoli cooked dinner. After dinner, the two set off.
Wang Hongguang was still complaining that he finally had a holiday and wanted to take a nap.
"Do you still want to eat? If you want to eat, you'd better be more diligent."
Wang Hongguang then fell silent.
The two walked onto the main road and then realized that many people were heading towards the lake.
Every time it rains, some fish die from lack of oxygen, and these people are the ones who go to scavenge for the fish.
That's true. In this day and age, people are short of food and clothing, so whenever they have time, they want to find something to go back to.
"Xiao Li, you've all come out too."
This is Meng Lin, one of the village's youngest sisters, Xiao Li nodded.
"We're just wandering around."
Seeing so many people, Xiaoli no longer wanted to go to the lakeside; at this time, there would probably be nothing left.
Xiao Li decided to take Wang Hongguang back to her parents' home. The two houses were not far apart, only a few minutes' walk away.
When she arrived at the door, Xiaoli suddenly felt a little annoyed, realizing she should have gone back to get some things before going to the door.
Her palm twitched, and when she looked down, she saw a small fruit.
Having experienced yesterday, she was no longer surprised, but the dizziness returned.
Xiao Li looked at the fruit, put it in her mouth, and instinctively felt that the fruit could help her.
Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, when its master wanted to take something, the space fluctuated, which allowed it to successfully put the thing out.
Hopefully, the owner will regain their memory soon.
After eating the fruit, Xiao Li felt much better. She felt lighter and more powerful.
As soon as she entered, she saw Li Meiling sweeping the yard. When she saw Xiaoli arrive, she invited her to sit down and went inside to get some peanuts for her.
“Your sister came yesterday. These are peanuts she gave me. Take them home with you later. Eat a few now and then; they can help replenish your blood and energy.”
Wang Hongguang paused, holding the peanuts. Should he eat them or not?
Li Meiling smiled and said, "Hongguang, you eat too."
Wang Hongguang finally agreed and started peeling peanuts.
He sat there a little awkwardly. "Mom, where's Xiaoyu?"
Li Meiling replied, "He went crayfish fishing with his dad, in the ditch behind the house."
Wang Hongguang quickly stood up, "I'll go take a look too."
He then followed the ridge of the field to the ditch behind it.
Xiao Li picked up a broom and started sweeping the yard. She felt that she had become much stronger, and this was not her imagination.
The fruit that Xiao Jiu just gave her is good for improving her health.
"Xiao Li, how are things between you and Hong Guang? You two haven't had a fight, have you?"
The mother was still worried. Her daughter was well-behaved and kind, while Wang Hongguang seemed like a lazy and good-for-nothing. She didn't want her daughter to suffer any injustice.
"We're doing fine, don't worry."
"That's good. We'll eat here later and see how many eels your dad catches today. We'll have an extra meal together."
The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, while Meng Zhongyi returned with the two of them.
"Xiao Li, come and see what I caught today."
Xiao Li ran over to take a look, and good heavens, it turned out to be a thick and large water snake.
This snake is non-venomous, and its meat is delicious, making it a rare delicacy.
Li Meiling glanced at it and turned her head away in disgust.
"Take it further away, don't do it in the yard."
Meng Zhongyi chuckled and said, "I understand."
He left with the knife and the basin, and Meng Xiaoyu ran over and put the bucket down for Xiaoli to see.
"Second sister, look, this is what my brother-in-law and I caught. You can eat the tail later."
He grinned and took a basin to process the lobsters, while Xiaoli squatted down to help.
Lobster heads have little flavor and are unhygienic, containing many parasites. Therefore, the Meng family only uses the two claws and tail when eating lobsters, discarding the head.
First, remove the two pliers, then twist off the head and throw it away. Next, pinch the sharp thorn in the middle of the tail, twist it off, and pull it out. The suture inside the tail will come out, and the tail will be cleaned.
Li Meiling picked tomatoes and cucumbers in the yard, washed them, and brought them over for the group to eat while she went to cook.
Xiao Li ate a tomato; it was sweet and sour, fresh and juicy. Tomatoes from this era are still the best.
She was already used to her own strange thoughts.
Meng Zhongyi has also returned. The snake meat has been prepared and is ready to be cooked.
