Chapter 407: What a pity

And if you need help from others, shouldn't you have a good attitude? They need Lu Xiaozhi's care, shouldn't they treat Lu Xiaozhi better?

Now that Lu Xiaozhi is gone, they have no one to rely on. The village can only make sure they don't starve to death and arrange for people to take care of them, but that's impossible. Without paying, who will take care of them?

They are just like Hua Tiefeng, they don't even know what attitude to use when asking for help.

Jian Nan put his hands on Hua Xiali's shoulders, turned her around, facing him, and said with a smile, "Our children will look like you and will be very beautiful."

Hua Xiali smiled embarrassedly and pushed him away. Then the two of them walked along the narrow path in the bamboo forest. The bamboos were very tall and could block some of the strong light, so it was not particularly hot.

After walking around and returning to this place, Hua Xiali said with a smile, "I can fish with my hands. Do you want me to show you?"

"Okay!" Jian Nan nodded with a smile.

After reaching the dam, Hua Xiali did not go back to the other side, but squatted down directly, put his hands into the water, poured the spiritual spring water in, and waved his fingers. Soon, fish swam towards this side.

Jian Nan's eyes widened in surprise. He never thought that he could fish with his bare hands!

When the fish swam to Hua Xiali's hand, Hua Xiali quickly reached out and grabbed the fish's chin, then quickly lifted the fish out of the water, looking at Jian Nan with a smile, "How is it? Without a fish hook or bait, I can catch fish with my hands."

"Wife, you are really amazing. I admire you so much." Afraid that Yu'er would break away from Hua Xiali's hands, Jian Nan quickly reached out and hugged Yu'er, then ran to the other side.

The people who were fishing under the trees on the shore were also shocked to see Hua Xiali catch such a big fish with just her bare hands. They never thought that the fish she caught with her bare hands were bigger than the ones they caught.

"Second sister, you are so amazing!" Hua Qiuli ran over to see the big fish and was shocked. "Second sister, could it be that all the fish we ate before were caught by you using this method?"

Hua Xiali shook his head in amusement, "Of course not. It's impossible to catch fish every time. I was lucky today to catch one."

Afterwards, Hua Xiali said to Jian Nan, "You go fishing with them. I'll go to the river to get some freshwater clams and make clam meat for everyone tomorrow."

Jian Nan can't swim, otherwise Hua Xia Li would not have saved his life many years ago.

Jian Nan was a little afraid of water. Whenever he was standing by a large body of water, he would feel nervous. So he couldn't help Hua Xia Li with this matter. But he could ask others for help. So Jian Nan kicked a young man who could swim and said, "Go to the river and get some freshwater clams for your sister-in-law."

"What are freshwater clams?" the man was confused.

"Wait until your sister-in-law touches one, then you'll know." Jian Nan said.

Hua Xiali walked to the middle of the dam and dived straight in. He swam around in it as nimbly as a fish, and then sank to the bottom of the water. After a while, he came up with two large freshwater clams. He placed the clams on the shore and then returned to the water.

She swam in the water while releasing the spiritual spring water, and the fish that swam towards her were also caught by her directly.

Jian Nan loved that freshwater clam and brought it to his relatives, "This is it."

"Got it." The young man responded and jumped directly into the water. Hua Xiali heard a 'splash' and knew that someone had gone into the water, so he didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. Instead, he concentrated on feeling for freshwater clams at the bottom of the water. When he found one, he would bring it up so that he could breathe in the fresh air.

The two of them worked together and it didn't take long for them to catch hundreds of freshwater clams. They really didn't expect that there would be so many in this area. How many would there be in the entire river?

There were too many freshwater clams, and everyone's wooden barrels were filled with fish, so there was no way to take the freshwater clams back. Hua Xiali and the young man had to go back to change clothes, and then bring things back to pack the freshwater clams.

Hua Xiali took a few bags of fertilizer and set off pushing a wooden cart. Several hundred freshwater clams were not light in weight. Even if each one weighed only one kilogram, it would still be several hundred kilograms, not to mention some large ones that weighed several kilograms!

Together they put the freshwater clams into bags, and then put the fish they caught into the bags, tied the bags tightly, put the bags onto a wooden cart, and then everyone pushed the cart back.

They return from upstream and do not have to pass through the village, so naturally not many people will see them. Even if people living in the same row see them, they can just say that they dug sand from the river bay.

We pushed the wooden cart into the yard and moved the heavy bags to the backyard. We took out the fish and poured the freshwater clams into wooden basins. Our own wooden basins were not enough, so we borrowed a few from our third and fourth uncles' homes. We kept the freshwater clams for a day to let them spit out the mud and sand so that they could be eaten the next day.

"Everyone has worked hard today, let's take a good rest!" Hua Xiali walked to the dining table and took cups to pour water for everyone.

Jian Nan walked over and took the glass cooler from Hua Xiali. "You've worked hard in the river to catch freshwater clams. Go and take a rest. Let me, who has done nothing, do the rest!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Remember to bring the watermelons out of the well for everyone to cut later." Hua Xiali patted Jian Nan's shoulder with a smile, then sat down on the sofa and chatted with everyone.

"I'm a little tired after just coming back. I'll deal with the big fish I caught later." Hua Xiali sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "I'll make you a fish dish that you've never eaten before tonight. How about that?"

After hearing this, Jiannan's relatives nodded repeatedly and were almost drooling.

With such delicious food, they all wanted to stay here.

Jian Nan quickly brought tea to everyone, then cut the watermelon and placed it on the tea table. After finishing his work, he sat down next to Hua Xiali, took a piece of watermelon for Hua Xiali, and took a piece for himself and started eating.

A few young people who had "never seen the world" were impressed while eating, saying that they had never expected that not only the cooking in their family was delicious, but even the watermelon was so delicious.

One of the young men, Su Mingyi, asked Hua Qiuli, "Qiu Li, where did you buy your watermelons?"

"I didn't buy them. These watermelons were planted in the yard by my second sister when she came back to plant sugarcane in the spring. There are few people in our family and not everyone is at home, so we only planted a few square meters of watermelons. But the watermelon yield is quite high, and there are still quite a few watermelons. If you like to eat them, I will pick two for each of you when you leave." Hua Qiuli said.
