Chapter 111
Xiahe Village, Zhonghe Village and Shanghe Village are all built along the Xiushui River.
There are a lot of fish in this river. Every year in late autumn before winter, the village organizes villagers to catch fish together.
However, the fish caught could not be sold to individuals, so the village connected with the supply and marketing cooperatives, and the villagers gave all the fish they caught to them. They then exchanged them for various things needed in the village, which could also solve the problem of the scarcity of various tickets in the village.
You can also catch some small fish that don’t grow big in the river and take them home to enjoy a snack.
It can be said that this is the most anticipated event in the three villages besides the autumn harvest.
As soon as the captain's broadcast ended, every family started running to the village warehouse to get their fishing nets.
In the Wang family's mansion.
The Wang family was having breakfast. As usual, they followed Zhao Guifen's request and prepared corn porridge with bran and cabbage soup, an old friend of the family.
When hearing the brigade's broadcast, Zhou Jiaojiao was the most uneasy one.
She quickly put down her chopsticks and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go quickly. Catching fish is a big deal, we can't lose face again."
She urged the other people in the family, but in her heart she was anxious to deceive Bai Xiu Xiu.
Since there are few people there, it will be easier for my third sister-in-law to take action.
She had asked her third sister-in-law to go and wait there early in the morning, just to be sure.
Wang Shoucheng frowned, a little dissatisfied with his third daughter-in-law's attitude. Why are you working so hard? It's already impressive enough for the whole family to go, why go early?
Seeing that her parents-in-law didn't say anything, Zhou Jiaojiao secretly stepped on her man's foot.
Wang Qingqi wanted to jump up in pain, but he endured the pain and hurried to help his wife: "Mom and Dad, my wife is right. Anyway, there are so many people from our family. Let's go earlier and let them see that there are no lazy people in our family."
"Old man, how about we set off now?" Zhao Guifen felt a little sorry for the food.
If you go to work so early, you must eat more when you come back, right?
"Okay, let's go. The fourth daughter-in-law has bad legs, so you need to clear the table at home and prepare lunch." Wang Shoucheng glanced at the fourth daughter-in-law who had been doing nothing since she broke her leg.
All the daughters-in-law in this family, except the troublemaker in the eldest house, have to do housework.
There is no rule of keeping idle people at home.
Whenever Chen Fang mentioned her work, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
Her broken bones haven't healed yet, and she already has to work?
And I don’t know what’s wrong with my parents recently. They eat these things every day. Who are they trying to starve to death?
Can she be raised like this?
"Did you hear that?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhao Guifen also scolded her.
This is not the time when she just broke her leg. The whole family has to give in to her. How many days has it been?
"I heard you. Mom and Dad, you can go out without worry." Chen Fang agreed reluctantly.
The whole family set out in a grand manner.
Wang Qinghe held his two children in his arms and looked at his wife, unable to control his worry.
The Wang family is large and prosperous, and it is eye-catching to see this family go out together.
"Brother, I'm not saying anything to blame you, but why did you bring the child out? Everyone has to go fishing soon and is busy. Who can take care of your child? Aren't you just causing trouble?" Wang Qingqi glanced at Wang Qinghe and said a few words to him unhappily.
My eldest brother is really something. It would be fine if he just didn’t provide food to the family.
She doesn't care about her work, and now she has to hold her child when she goes fishing together.
Could he possibly look any better?
Haven't we been doing fine these years? Working like a slave for this family, isn't it enough for everyone to be happy?
You have to make some trouble.
Wang Qinghe was upset and usually didn't want to pay attention to him, let alone now.
He held the child and followed his daughter-in-law's pace, walking neither fast nor slow.
"Brother, what do you mean by not saying anything?" Wang Qingqi became even angrier when he was ignored.
"If I don't speak, it means I think you're stupid and annoying. Lao Wu, if you can't speak, then just stay away from me." Bai Xiu Xiu retorted to him.
Wang Qingqi and Zhou Jiaojiao are really annoying.
One wants her to die, the other wants her man to be a slave.
None of it is good.
"Sister-in-law, you..."
"My wife is right, stay away from us." After Wang Qinghe said this, he pulled the man to the back.
Wang Qingqi was not as tall as Wang Qinghe, so he was easily dragged away.
When the others were thrown to the back, Wang Qingqi was completely stunned.
Embarrassing and annoying.
"Stop making trouble. This is embarrassing enough." Zhou Jiaojiao watched the whole process and stopped her man when she saw that he was about to have a fight.
Zhou Jiaojiao usually looks well-behaved and enthusiastic, and has a pure and lovely appearance.
Her cold eyes at this moment made her look a little scary.
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't want to see her husband continue to be a clown, nor did she want to cause trouble. After today, she wanted to make life miserable for Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe. It would be best if Bai Xiuxiu died here today, in front of her two children.
That would be great!
Therefore, Wang Qingqi had better not cause trouble for her.
If Bai Xiu Xiu and Wang Qing He really turned around and went home in anger, then everything would be ruined!
Wang Qingqi was frightened by his wife: "Jiaojiao, why are you talking to me like that?"
Zhou Jiaojiao took a breath, regained her cute look, and explained to him with a face full of grievance: "I'm just worried that they don't want to work. Qingqi, let's go home and talk about it. Dad can't help us outside.
Big brother, you are the one who is making the effort. No matter how we think about it, we will suffer losses. I am doing this for your own good."
Wang Qingqi was satisfied: "My wife, you are smart and think about me."
After the family went to the brigade to get the fishing net, they went to the river.
There weren't many people from the riverside village at this moment, but there seemed to be at least a dozen people.
As soon as Zhou Jiaojiao reached the river, she pointed to the west and said, "Mom and Dad, shall we go there? I see my family is there too. Let's go there so we can take care of each other. My mom and her family took away my work points and food. Today I have to ask them to give us all the small fish."
At least we have to compensate our family."
Zhou Jiaojiao found an excuse to make her actions seem less abrupt.
Once Wang Shoucheng heard the benefits, he had no objection.
Anyway, they are all from the village, so even if they do less, they will not get less after catching the fish and exchanging them for things.
Every household has this, and his family has already decided what to replace it with this year.
As for whether it is easy to catch fish in the place my daughter-in-law pointed out, that is not a problem.
It would be better to let them rest.
By the river, the third sister-in-law of the Zhou family kept looking around, causing other members of the Zhou family to look at her frequently.
Tian Xiaolan saw her daughter-in-law looking around and came over: "Third daughter-in-law, what are you looking at?"
