Chapter 119 Chinese New Year (3)



Why, why can you still be with Brother Hongjun after framing me!

Chen Yanhong was roaring in her heart at this moment. The unhappiness in her life and the fact that the person she liked was actually together with the person who framed her made it even more difficult for Shen Yanhong to accept.

Staying not far away and watching the harmonious coexistence here, Shen Yanhong finally left with a look of resentment and jealousy.

The day Shen Qingmiao came back, the weather was sunny. After walking all the way, Shen Qingmiao quickly took off his thick cotton jacket when he got home. He was sweating because of the heat.

The amount of exercise from walking all the way back was quite intense, making Shen Qingmiao sweat.

Mother Shen was very happy to see Shen Qingmiao come back. Seeing Shen Qingmiao take off her cotton-padded jacket as soon as she came back, Mother Shen couldn't help but say, "You girl, why are you taking off your cotton-padded jacket in such a cold weather? Put it back on quickly."

"Mom, I'm so hot!" Shen Qingmiao argued. She really didn't want to wear it. It was too hot.

"You're only feeling hot because you just walked. You'll be cool soon. Take off your cotton jacket. What if you catch a cold?"

Under the nagging and accusing eyes of Shen's mother, Shen Qingmiao finally put on the cotton-padded jacket reluctantly. Shen Qingmiao argued that the only way to do it was to leave it unbuttoned.

This time, Mother Shen didn’t say anything.

It seemed that except for Shen's mother, no one else was at home. After Shen Qingmiao put her things away, she ran to Shen's mother and asked, "Where are my father and brother?" Why are they not at home?

"Your father and brother have gone to clean the fish pond."

Speaking of fish ponds, Shen Qingmiao knew where they were. Every year around Chinese New Year, the village would clean the fish ponds. The large fish would be distributed to the villagers, while the smaller ones would remain in the ponds.

Cleaning the fish pond was a big deal in their village, so there were probably a lot of people there. Shen Qingmiao only had memories of it; she had never seen it before. Curious, Shen Qingmiao said to her mother, "Mom, I'll go check it out." She had left that sentence, and before her mother could even turn around, she had vanished.

"This girl is really impatient."

Following the route she remembered, Shen Qingmiao arrived at the fish pond. As she had expected, the area around the fish pond was packed with people, both adults and children, and cheers could be heard from time to time.

Shen Qingmiao stood outside the crowd, trying to find the figure of her sister-in-law and nephew. Before she could find him, Shen Qiuxia saw Shen Qingmiao's figure at a glance.

It had been a while since the last incident, and Shen Qiuxia was naturally very happy when she suddenly saw Shen Qingmiao.

She squeezed through the crowd, came behind Shen Qingmiao and patted him on the shoulder.

Shen Qingmiao was startled when his shoulder was suddenly patted. When he turned around and saw who was behind him, Shen Qingmiao put on a questioning posture, "Well, Shen Qiuxia, you dare to scare me."

Shen Qiuxia smiled and said: “Why don’t I know when you are so timid, Qingmiao, this is not the Shen Qingmiao I know.”

The two chatted and laughed for a while, then walked hand in hand to squeeze in. Standing at the back, you can't see anything.

When they reached the front, the bustling activity in the fish pond became clear. Shen Qingmiao spotted his eldest brother in the crowd, and not far away, he saw his sister-in-law and Xiaojie on the bank of the pond.

Suddenly a big fish attracted everyone's attention.

“What a big fish!”

“This fish is really big.”

The sound of chirping and exclamation came into their ears. Shen Qingmiao and Shen Qiuxia also saw the big fish. To be honest, the fish was indeed very big.

Shen Qingmiao was curious about how there could be such a big fish in the fish pond. It was probably more than ten kilograms.

Seeing the big fish struggling vigorously after being caught, it is estimated that it would have been impossible to catch it if we had not held it down tightly. Seeing such a big fish, everyone's faces were filled with surprise and joy.

No one knows who will own such a big fish in the end.

Shen Qiuxia beside him was still whispering in Shen Qingmiao's ear: "Qingmiao, I have never seen such a big fish."

"I haven't seen it either." Shen Qingmiao had never seen it in his life.

With everyone's joint efforts, the big fish in the fish pond were soon cleared out. Looking at the lively fish in the bucket, every villager's face was filled with happy smiles.

Shen Qingmiao was already thinking about how to cook the fish at home.

Whether it was chopped pepper fish head, boiled fish, braised fish or steamed fish, of course Shen Qingmiao did not forget her favorite sweet and sour fish.

Various ways of eating fish began to appear in his mind one by one, and Shen Qingmiao's stomach, which had digested all the food along the way, began to express hunger.

When everyone was carrying bamboo baskets and preparing to go back, Xiaojie saw Shen Qingmiao and ran straight towards him. Li Zhaodi tried to pull him back but failed.

"Where are you going, little brat?"

When Li Zhaodi saw Shen Qingmiao not far away, her worries were relieved.

Li Zhaodi couldn't help but think in her heart: This boy is really close to his aunt!

"Aunt, when did you come back?" Xiao Jie ran to Shen Qingmiao excitedly and grabbed Shen Qingmiao's hand.

"Auntie just came back too."

"Auntie, did you see that? My dad caught a huge fish! It's this big, this big." The excited Xiao Jie gestured to Shen Qingmiao with his hands.

Shen Qingmiao touched Xiaojie's head and said with a smile: "I see it, I see it."

During this time, Xiaojie held Shen Qingmiao's hand again and chattered to Shen Qingmiao about what had happened to him during this period.

Shen Qingmiao on the side was listening patiently and carefully, responding a word or two from time to time.

Shen Qiuxia next to him sighed, "Qingmiao, you have such a good relationship with your nephew!"

"Maybe I'm more popular with children." Shen Qingmiao pretended to think for a while and replied.

Her answer made Shen Qiuxia choke, and her eyes revealed that she didn't expect you to be like this Shen Qingmiao.

The three of them returned to the village square with everyone else, playing and joking. The fish would be distributed soon, and everyone in the square had a look of anticipation on their faces.

This made Shen Qingmiao look forward to it.

Shen Qiuxia was called over by her mother, while Shen Qingmiao and Xiaojie came to Shen's father and eldest brother and sister-in-law. Soon, even Shen's mother came over. It can be said that every family was fully present, waiting to divide the fish.

This feeling of anticipation and tension was just like the feeling of waiting for lucky money during the Chinese New Year. Shen Qingmiao's heart beat faster.

Shen Qingmiao pulled Shen's mother's sleeve and asked quietly, "Mom, how many fish can our family get?"

Mother Shen estimated and replied, "Probably three or four."

That's enough, you can do it the way she likes.

"Mom, once the fish is divided, I'll cook it. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

"Okay, if you want to do it, you can do it."

Shen's mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Xiaojie beside them all heard them talking and couldn't help but start to look forward to it.

What delicious food can your daughter (sister, sister-in-law, aunt) cook?
