Chapter 109, Heart of Gossip (Seeking Recommendation Vote)
"It's not cold, just right." It's only September, how cold can it be?
"You, come on, grandma is going to cook, you go wash your face."
The two of them lived a very comfortable life, which was what Mei Xue had always wanted. Now the rice in the fields had been harvested into the granary, and after the rain, the vegetables in the fields would probably grow a lot bigger. Mei Xue planned to wait until the rain stopped before taking a look.
After breakfast, with nothing to do, Mei Xue pestered her grandmother to tell her some stories from the past.
Of course, under her hypnosis, she intentionally downplayed everything related to grandma herself.
Listening to stories, eating snacks, life is so beautiful.
This time the rain lasted for three days, and it was not until the fourth day that the sky cleared up and everyone came out of the house to hang out.
An Wen ran to Mei Xue early in the morning, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Mei Xue was discussing with her grandmother what to do when the sky cleared up, when she heard An Wen's voice calling her outside.
He put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked to the yard, "What's wrong, Anwen? What happened?"
"The water has receded, sister-in-law, let's go pick up the fish." The flood came suddenly and went away suddenly.
"So fast?" Mei Xue was a little surprised and hurried to the door. Sure enough, the water in the stream was receding rapidly. She didn't know where the source was. If she had time, she really wanted to go and see it.
"Yes, sister-in-law, hurry up, otherwise they will be picked up by others." An Wen said anxiously.
Mei Xue didn't delay and immediately turned around to prepare. She took the bucket and took two at a time.
"Walk."
Seeing how energetic they were, Grandma He smiled so hard that her mouth split open. "Xiaoxue, slow down and be careful. There are stone knives in the water that has just receded. Be careful not to cut your feet."
Yelling at Mei Xue's back.
"I understand." Mei Xue also responded loudly.
It’s true that there were quite a lot of people coming to pick up fish. Mei Xue saw that a lot of places along the stream were occupied by people. She was not in a hurry and pulled An Wen towards the rice field.
"Let's go inside, there must be more fish." Mei Xue was excited. How could she be left out of such a fun thing?
An Wen had a similar idea. "Sister-in-law, why don't we go to your field to pick some fish? Your field is next to a stream. Once the water recedes, there will definitely be a lot of fish."
Mei Xue had originally thought so, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go faster."
Mei Xue spent the whole morning picking up fish. Unfortunately, how big were the fish in the creek? They were only the size of two fingers.
Some were even smaller, but she didn't want any of them. Anwen didn't care. Small fish have their own way of eating. Anyway, his mother's cooking was quite delicious.
His sister-in-law picked up the big fish and he picked up the small fish, and soon the two of them filled the buckets.
"Let's go back. We have almost picked up all the fish." Mei Xue straightened up. She had to admit that her waist felt a little sore.
Looking at the muddy stream, Mei Xue asked casually: "An Wen, do you know where the source of this stream is?"
An Wen shook his head after hearing this. "I don't know. We looked for it when we were young, but unfortunately we couldn't find it. It seems that the stream has gone deep into the mountains, and my parents won't let us in."
Who hasn’t had a treasure hunt dream when they were a child? Many children in the village have looked for treasure. Unfortunately, they can only go as far as the place designated by the adults. If they leave, they can’t get back in time.
It is very dangerous to be in the mountains after dark. Even if they are young, they still understand this.
They are mainly afraid that monsters will capture them.
When I grew up, I knew there were no monsters, but I still didn't dare to spend the night in the mountains.
"Is that so?" Mei Xue thought to herself, "When can we call An Liang and the others so we can go find the source and have some fun?" With such a huge flood, she didn't know what the source looked like.
An Wen smiled, "Sister-in-law, please don't. We won't be able to get back before dark if we go back and forth. Besides, the road gets harder and harder the further we go."
"Is that so? Let's talk about it later." At worst, I can just not ask them. It's fine for me to go alone.
She has her own space and is not afraid of the dangers of the night.
Even though my abilities are not as strong as they were in my previous life, I still have the ability to protect myself.
As long as there are no monsters.
On the way back, we met a lot of villagers. When they saw the fish in Anwen's bucket, they were all envious, not to mention Mei Xue's two big buckets of big fish.
"Anwen, why did you catch so many?" asked an uncle from the village.
The fields here do not belong only to the five groups. Apart from a few groups on the mountain, many fields of the fourth and third groups are here.
This person happened to be from Group 4. Mei Xue didn't know him. She didn't even recognize all the people in her own group, let alone those outside.
"It's Uncle Fan Ming. We picked it up from my third grandmother's field. The water in her field is deep." An Wen said perfunctorily.
He didn't know what happened specifically, but he just knew that wherever his sister-in-law was, the fish swam over as if they had found their home.
He really picked it up.
"Oh, your third aunt. Haha, that's true." The man felt a little embarrassed. However, his fields were also here, but there were not many fish in them. In addition, the water was very turbid, and he couldn't catch the small fish.
"Um, Anwen, this is the young wife of your third grandmother, right?" Uncle Fan Ming asked.
Mei Xue is also a polite child, "Hello, Uncle Fan Ming."
"Okay, okay, then, girl, can I go to your house to pick up fish?" Fan Ming was really envious.
Mei Xue didn't care. She knew very well why she could pick up so many fish. Even if she asked others to go, they might not be able to pick up any.
"Sure, Uncle Fanming, you go." Mei Xue said with a smile.
"Thank you, thank you." There was no other way. His fields were a bit far from the stream, so even if the water level rose, not much was flooded.
It would be nice to have some fish in there.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Fan Ming, the two of them quickened their pace and headed home. Passing by those envious people, Mei Xue simply did not reply and handed it over to An Wen.
An Wen was also a generous man. After explaining, he quickly left with his sister-in-law.
When I got home, Grandma He was not at home. I was afraid that she had gone out to watch the fun again.
As the water receded, many people gathered by the creek, telling gossip. Grandma He had been locked up for a few days and could not wait to wander around the village.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going home first."
"Go." Mei Xue waved her hand and let An Wen go.
Meixue didn't know what to do with these fish. She would kill them all, but there were so many. How could she eat them?
So, she had to go find her grandma.
Grandma He was chatting with Grandma Jinghua and the others at the creek where everyone usually gathered.
"Last time I heard from his aunt Meng that Anwen's marriage has finally been settled?" Everyone looked at Grandma He and asked.
Grandma He didn't care much about these things, but she nodded as a response to everyone.
"Aunt San, I heard that your family borrowed money from the Anwen family?" He Zhengbei's wife, Aunt Yong, asked with a calculating look on her face.
Grandma He glanced at her and said, "Can't you lend it to me?" Her tone was not very nice to her.
She just doesn't like her niece-in-law. She's such an annoying person.
Don’t forget to vote during the holidays, thank you!
