Chapter 365: Why

After all, this canal is nearly one meter high. What if she accidentally falls while bending over like this?

"Jiannan, then you take Xiaodong and catch them here. I will go back and get a wooden bucket. We need to catch more of these to make enough to eat." Lobsters have more shells than meat. Ten pounds are not enough for one person to eat. Now that everyone is at home, we naturally have to catch more and bring back more.

"Then go slower." Jian Nan warned.

This place is right in front of Xia Li's house, so Jian Nan can let her go back alone without worry.

When Xia Li returned home, he hurriedly called Zhang Yongfeng, Chunli and Qiuli to go with him, but there were not enough fire tongs, so everyone put on boots, gloves, and set off carrying wooden barrels.

When they arrived at the canal, those who did not have fire tongs could go down directly and grab the crayfish with their bare hands. Because they were wearing labor protection gloves, they did not have to worry about being pinched by the crayfish.

After that, everyone was responsible for a section of the water area. Xia Li and Xiaodong stood on the shore. Xiaodong shone the flashlight here and there, shouting from time to time, "Wow, there's one here," "It's so big, daddy, catch it quickly," "Hurry up, it's running away, running away"... He was the busiest person.

Xia Li couldn't help but laugh. She had hoped to spend more years with Huo Beixi before. Now that Huo Beixi was no longer with her, she wanted to spend a few more years with her child, at least until he was old enough to not need motherly love so much...

There were too many crayfish in the canal, so everyone followed Xia Li's instructions and picked the big ones. In less than half an hour, everyone had filled a bucket, and there were five buckets of crayfish in total.

Afterwards, we all went home together.

It was impossible to walk side by side on the ridge of the field, so people had to walk one by one. Jian Nan walked at the end, carrying a bucket of crayfish in one hand. When they got home, everyone quickly poured the crayfish into the wooden basins, filling three large basins. Fortunately, everyone had taken a bath, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to use even the wooden basins tonight.

Zhang Yongfeng fetched well water and poured it into a wooden basin.

Seeing this, the mother exclaimed, "How can we eat all of these?"

"These are not enough to eat at all. We will know tomorrow." Xia Li said with a smile. It looks like a lot, but there are many people in the family, a total of six adults plus two children. But Yun can't eat these things for the time being!

The next morning, after breakfast, Xia Li took the things and prepared to clean the crayfish. There were so many crayfish that if she didn't clean them up in advance, she would have nothing to eat at noon. Everyone in her family was looking forward to the crayfish, and she couldn't let them down.

Jian Nan also came over to help, but as soon as he grabbed the crayfish, he was pinched by the crayfish and screamed. Seeing this, Xia Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I really didn't expect that a grown man would scream and cry when being pinched by a lobster. He is even worse than a child.

Seeing Jian Nan looking at him with an aggrieved expression, Xia Li quickly stopped talking, then cut the lobster with a pair of scissors and freed Jian Nan's hand.

Xia Li scooped up a bucket of clean water, took Jian Nan's hand, and rinsed his fingers, which were bleeding, with clean water several times. Then he took him back to the room, wiped the water off his hands first, then used iodine to wipe the bleeding spots, and then took out a Band-Aid and put it on him.

Children stumble and fall all the time, so Xia Li prepared all these things in advance. Otherwise, if they get hurt, it will take a long time to go to the clinic or hospital. Especially in the countryside, you can't always get a car. When there is no car, whether you ride a bike or not, you will be sunburned.

Jian Nan looked at Xia Li so seriously that he didn't want to go back.

"You're so stupid that you can't even conquer a crayfish." After putting the Band-Aid on the wound, Xia Li pushed Jian Nan away, then turned around and went out to the front yard to deal with the crayfish.

Xia Li sat on a chair with a crayfish on one side and an empty basin on the other. She simply grabbed a crayfish with her bare hands, used a scissors to cut off the lobster head in half, removed the shrimp roe with the scissors, pulled out the shrimp thread, and then threw the crayfish into the wooden basin next to her.

Seeing Jian Nan coming over curiously, Xia Li raised his eyebrows, "Do you know how to deal with it now?"

Jian Nan nodded, "Got it, I'll take care of it!"

"You will be in charge of scrubbing them later. Just use a brush to clean the shells of the lobsters. Just scrub them inside and outside."

There is spiritual spring water in the well. The crayfish are kept in the well water for one night and are very clean. You don’t need to wash them. But we just need to let everyone know about this process. Otherwise, what will we do if we buy crayfish and take them home to eat without washing them?

After everyone has learned it, there is no need for Xia Li, a pregnant woman alone, to do anything. Zhang Yongfeng takes the first step and cuts off the heads of the crayfish. Chunli is responsible for removing the shrimp threads, while Qiuli and Jiannan scrub the crayfish together.

Xia Li went to the kitchen and stood beside the cutting table to process the eels. Her belly was so big now that she couldn't squat down, and it was uncomfortable to sit all the time, so she could only do things while standing.

Xia Li handled the eels skillfully. She had picked the big eels last night. The smallest ones were as thick as a thumb, so they were quite easy to handle. Purely wild eels like these could be sold for eighty yuan per pound in her longest life!

But this place will be demolished in the future, so even if we do aquaculture, we won’t be able to do it for long. Otherwise, we can do aquaculture at home and don’t have to leave our hometown!

I had just put the processed eel into the basin and was about to take out the second one to process when suddenly a pair of hands appeared at my waist and weight was placed on my shoulders.

It turned out that Jian Nan had put his chin on Xia Li's shoulder.

"Wife, we are husband and wife, and it's not good for us to live apart like this. After you give birth to the baby, just stay in the provincial capital! In the future, whenever you want to come back, I will accompany you, okay?" Jian Nan said, with his hands on Xia Li's pregnant belly. He was really looking forward to meeting their second baby in the fall.

He won't have a third child; two are enough for them.

Xia Li opened her mouth to say something, but in the end said nothing and just nodded lightly. Zhang Yongfeng and her eldest sister are inseparable, so after her eldest sister goes to college, Zhang Yongfeng will definitely consider opening a salty food shop in the city center. Then her mother will naturally take Yun with her, and Qiu Li will naturally not stay at home alone.

By that time everyone has left, and there will be only an empty house left. What can Xia Li do here alone?

Huo Beixi is certainly important, but at the moment, living people are naturally more important.

She wanted to accompany her children to grow up. Why did Wang Junhuan and Wang Junli enjoy her care throughout their lives, but when it came to her own children, she had nothing?
