Chapter 9 Chapter 9 is passed down from generation to generation.
No one will be polite when it comes to gifts from nature.
Mu Mian didn't care that the ground was dirty. He lay on the ground, rolled up his sleeves and started digging.
The arrival of her uninvited guest caused the two trapped fish to struggle frantically, splashing water all over Mu Mian's face.
The fish was a bit big and slippery, so it was a bit difficult to handle. The main reason was that her hands were small and her points of force were small, so even if she used a lot of force, it would not work.
It would be so heartbreaking if you saw the meat you picked up for free run away.
After Mu Mian touched it twice, he retracted his hand and pulled up a few vines on the spot. The vines were very strong and were perfect for tying fish.
After sorting out the vines, Mu Mian reached his hands into the water and worked as ferociously as a tiger, and then one of them was tied up.
After making sure that the fish would not break free and swim away, Mu Mian pulled away the grass roots that had trapped the fish, then pulled the vines up to scoop it up.
Suddenly there was no water, the fish froze for a few times, and Mu Mian sat up and tied it next to the basket. It would not work to put it in the basket because there were duck eggs inside.
Just as Mu Mian was imitating the same method to make the second one, the noise she made attracted the attention of some children.
The second one was bigger than the first one. As soon as Mu Mian pulled it up, he saw a few familiar children running towards him out of the corner of his eye.
Da Zhuang ran and shouted, "Wow! Mu Mian, you caught a fish!!"
Dazhuang is actually not strong, he is thin and dark, but his voice is really loud, and he was very excited. When the voice came out, Mu Mian, who had seen them a long time ago, was shocked.
Then, perhaps because it was stimulated by the sound, the fish struggled even harder than before.
The vine in Mu Mian's hand was broken without a second's notice, and the big fish flapped twice towards freedom. The speed was so fast that by the time Mu Mian could react, the fish would be directly in the river with just one more flap.
Mu Mian's eyes widened. What a huge piece of meat! !
She got anxious, clenched her fist, leaned over quickly and punched the fish on the head.
The fish that was struggling to be free just now suddenly lost its breath, and its head was sunken.
Very peaceful.jpg
Mu Mian picked up the fish and looked at Xiao Chengzi, Da Zhuang and others who were running over.
Da Zhuang, who noticed the gaze, slammed on the brakes, looked at the dented and bleeding fish head, and said quickly: "I'm not here to steal the fish!!"
What are you looking at him doing? ! Really not!
Wow, this girl is really as scary as her mother said!
He actually smashed the fish's head! ! That would definitely smash his head! ! !
Woo woo woo, how scary!
Mu Mian: “………………”
It was Da Zhuang who called out just now, so she naturally looked at him.
When Da Zhuang paused, Xiao Chengzi and Xu Lele came over with excitement, looking at the fish and then at the river.
Little Orange was eager to try, "Wow! What a big fish! Where did you catch it, sister?"
Xu Lele had the same expression, "Anything else? Anything else?"
Mu Mian held up the two fish and pointed to the spot, explaining, "They got entangled in the grass roots and I caught them red-handed."
A group of children immediately gathered around.
Da Zhuang pulled at the weeds and said, "It's true."
Little Orange laughed, "This fish is so stupid."
Da Zhuang looked around and said, "It would be nice if there were two more stupid fish."
Little Orange looked towards the river and said, "There must be big fish in the river."
Mu Mian immediately looked at his little cousin and said, "Don't even think about going in. The water is so cold, your legs will cramp most easily."
This was said not only to Xiaochengzi, but also to other children.
Little Orange snorted, "I know! I'm not going down, I'll just look for any more stupid fish on the side of the road."
Not only he was looking for it, but other children were also looking for it.
There had been precedents of children drowning, so no one wanted to go into the river.
Mu Mian didn't care if there were any other fish in other places. The first one she fished out was still alive, so she planned to take it back first.
The dead ones cannot be released, but the living ones can be kept for two days before being eaten.
To prevent the fish from drying out, Mu Mian wrapped some water in leaves and walked home with the fish in one hand and the basket in the other.
I haven't even finished work yet, so I didn't meet any adults on the road.
When we got home, the old lady was working on her private plot of land again. She planted crops immediately in the empty space. The land really never got idle at all.
Seeing her granddaughter coming back, Zhao Meihua only glanced at her casually at first, but when she saw clearly, she exclaimed loudly, "Where did she come from?!"
As he spoke, he looked at his eldest granddaughter's whole body. It was dry, which meant she didn't go into the river.
Mu Mian knew what her grandmother was thinking, so she explained it.
The old lady looked at the fish with the same look as the children just now. There was actually such a stupid fish.
but……
"You are lucky too," Zhao Meihua sighed.
Even though a fish may be stupid, it will stay there forever if no one sees it.
Mu Mian just laughed, her luck has always been good!
Mu Mian put down the basket and looked towards the water tank. "Nana, shall we eat the dead one tonight? We can keep the live one and eat it in two days!"
Zhao Meihua went to find a basin for her granddaughter, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
With the water, the dying fish thumped twice in the basin and regained its vitality. Mu Mian picked up the basket and opened the wild vegetables to show the old lady, "Grandma, there are also wild duck eggs. Let's have two each!"
Zhao Meihua looked over when she heard that.
It’s true, they are round and a little smaller than an egg. At a glance, there seem to be six or seven of them.
Zhao Meihua smiled and patted her granddaughter's head. "Your father was right. This girl will be blessed in the future."
Mu Mian smiled sweetly, "I'll take care of you and enjoy your life from now on!"
Zhao Meihua laughed out loud, "Okay, then I'll be waiting. How do you want to eat this fish?"
Mu Mian thought for a moment and said, "Let's make some soup and send a bowl to my aunt in the evening."
Although her uncle seemed a little weird, he was usually very nice to his nephews and nieces. Especially when he didn't have Xiaochengzi yet, he would share any good things with the children.
As I recall, she got the most. When there wasn't enough to go around, her uncle would always say, "You're the only one who gets it. Don't tell your older sisters."
Two fishes were not enough for three families to share. Her aunt was still in confinement after giving birth, so any supplement she could get was helpful. Breastfeeding two children was not an easy task.

In the evening, Mu Fugui came back from the slaughterhouse and saw the two fish. He excitedly gave his eldest daughter a loving hug and said, "You are worthy of being my daughter! You are amazing!"
Mu Mian was suddenly lifted up two meters off the ground, "!!!!!!"
Help! She is afraid of heights! !
Mu Mian screamed, "Ahhh Dad! Put me down!!"
Mu Fugui: "Hahaha, don't worry, you won't fall."
Liu Shuangcui came out with a basin of hot water, put it down, and slapped her man on the back, "What are you doing?! You haven't even washed yourself, and you stink all over. Don't smear it all over your daughter!"
Mu Fugui hissed loudly, muttered a few words softly, and then put his daughter down.
Mu Mian, whose feet finally touched the ground, quickly moved away from her father. Seeing that the fish soup was ready, she diligently went to get the lunch box, "Grandma, pack it up. I'll take it to my aunt."
Zhao Meihua packed the bottle and tightly closed the lid before handing it to her granddaughter. "Go slowly on the way. Be careful of the burns."
Mu Mian tested the temperature and found it was a little hot, so she found a piece of rag to wrap it up and then carried it to her uncle's house.
As soon as Mu Mian entered the yard, she saw her uncle cooking. He was busy during the spring plowing season and her aunt was in confinement, so the old lady cooked lunch and they just made breakfast and dinner themselves.
Mu Mian called out, "Uncle, I'm here to bring fish soup to Aunt."
Mu Xinglong came out of the kitchen in two or three steps, took it, opened it and took a look. It was milky white and smelled delicious.
Little Orange swallowed his saliva, "Sis! Do you have mine?"
Mu Mian: "For your mother to eat."
Little Orange looked particularly regretful, "Why didn't I take a confinement period? I really want to take a confinement period too!!"
Mu Xinglong ignored his silly son and smiled brightly at his niece, "My dear Mian Ya, you still remember your aunt. Your uncle has loved you for a lot these years!"
Almost at the moment he opened his mouth, Mu Mian felt someone pinching her armpits, and then a familiar feeling came over her, and her feet were two meters off the ground.
Mu Mian: “????”
Mu Mian: “!!!!”
What's going on with these two brothers? ! !
Why do people like to lift their children up high when they are happy? !
Mu Mian closed his eyes and screamed, "Uncle! Put me down now!!"
Her uncle is even worse than her father. He should have lifted it up, but he actually threw it away!
An old neighbor who heard this shook her head and muttered to her husband, "Mu Xiaowu is so old, but he still acts like a young boy and likes to play with children."
The old man replied casually, "Follow Boss Mu."
It can be seen that there is no shortage of people in this world who can see the essence through phenomena.
It’s a pity that Mu Mian didn’t see through it, otherwise she wouldn’t have been so eager to take on this job.
Fortunately, her uncle put her down as soon as she called him.
Mu Mian breathed a sigh of relief when she landed on the ground, and then she noticed that her uncle was shaking his arms.
Mu Xinglong took a look at his little niece and found that she was quite substantial. His wife said that the little girl was a little thinner, but he didn't notice it at all.
Little Orange raised his arms, "Dad, I want one too! Lift me up!!"
Mu Xinglong picked up his son and lifted him up twice.
Little Orange was not satisfied, "Dad, I want to throw it! Throw it high!!"
Mu Xinglong felt that his son was also important: "………………"
Mu Mian laughed, "Your father has no strength."
Mu Xinglong, who was just trying to find an excuse to fool his son, said: “………………”
His little niece is really naughty now.
