In the end, Yuan Shitou had no choice but to compromise.
Since my clothes are all wet, I'm definitely going to catch a cold.
When I get back, I'll pick some herbs and boil them into a decoction for her to drink, just to prevent this from happening again.
Yuan Shitou caught several more fish, each weighing six or seven pounds, at the spot where Yun Xiaoxiao had told him, filling three nets to the brim.
I thought to myself, "Now I should be able to go back."
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiaoxiao handed over another empty net bag.
Looking at the net, Yuan Shitou felt helpless: "Xiaoxiao, we've already caught too many, let's not catch any more."
"If you don't go back soon, you'll definitely catch a cold."
Yun Xiaoxiao remained silent, stubbornly reaching out to hand over the net.
Yuan Shitou had no choice but to obediently take the net and resignedly start catching fish.
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't afford to offend this little devil.
If you can't bear to hit or scold them, what else can they do but obey?
It must be said, there are indeed many fish in this river.
In addition, many people were fishing in it, which scared the fish into the bushes on the side.
In no time, Yuan Shitou had filled the net bag.
He said to Yun Xiaoxiao, "Little ancestor, can we go home now?"
Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao was still hesitating, he quickly said:
"Let's go home quickly, I feel so cold, I might catch a cold."
Yun Xiaoxiao pouted. "Hmph, don't think she doesn't know. Yuan Shitou is just pretending."
But they had already filled four net bags, which was already quite good.
So he nodded, agreeing reluctantly: "Okay, let's go back then."
Yuan Shitou borrowed a knife, chopped down a piece of wood as thick as an arm, tied the net to the wood, and carried it on his shoulder.
Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao was still standing there without moving, he went up to her and pulled her home.
Along the way, many people saw Yuan Shitou carrying a load of fish, holding his young wife tightly in his hand.
His young wife's lips were pouting so high you could hang an oil bottle on them.
Many people wanted to make a joke, but they held back because Yun Xiaoxiao was too young.
Yuan's mother was sitting outside sewing clothes.
They saw Yuan Shitou pulling Yun Xiaoxiao in.
She didn't see anything except that Yun Xiaoxiao was completely soaked, even her hair was wet.
She immediately dropped her needle and thread and cried out, "Oh, my darling!"
What's wrong?
Did it roll into the water?
Look how soaked you are, you're definitely going to catch a cold.
"Come inside quickly and take off your wet clothes. I'll boil some water for you to wash up."
He turned around and glared at Yuan Shitou: "You stupid bear!"
How will you take care of the little one? I'll settle the accounts with you later.
After saying that, he quickly went into the kitchen and started boiling water.
Yuan Shitou wasn't angry. He put down the fish basket and placed the fish in a large vat in the yard.
He built this jar himself using stones.
I used to keep fish in it, so it's perfect for storing these fish now.
Yuan's father walked over with a limp: "You went down to the river to catch fish?"
Yuan Shitou nodded: "Yes, a lot of people are catching fish there."
Yuan's father pointed to the black fish and said, "This fish is big, it must weigh at least ten kilograms."
"Hmm, I think so. This is what Xiaoxiao caught."
He laughed as he spoke, a very proud laugh.
Before the smile could fade, he was struck with a stick.
Yuan's mother was standing beside them at some point.
"You idiot, how dare you ask Xiaoxiao to go down into the river to catch fish."
The river is flowing so fast; if you get swept away, you'll be in big trouble.
Yuan Shitou, clutching the spot where he had been hit, argued:
“I told her not to go down, but she went down secretly behind my back.”
Another blow came: "Why didn't you keep an eye on her?"
How could a girl soak in water?
How could she, with such a weak body, withstand it?
Oh my God!
How could I have given birth to such a useless son?
"Hurry up and go pick some herbs; I'll brew some for her to drink."
Yuan Shitou handed over a large handful of herbs.
He knew it; he was the one who would get beaten up every time.
But he had no choice; he couldn't bear to see his young wife beaten and wronged.
I guess I'll just have to bear it myself.
Yun Xiaoxiao quickly took a shower and came out, looking at the fish in the tank, she smiled very happily.
After lunch and a nap, Yun Xiaoxiao eagerly urged Yuan Shitou to collect the cages.
The rain had stopped long ago, and a sliver of sun was peeking out.
Yuan Shitou carried a basket on his back, put Yun Xiaoxiao in the basket, and also carried a wooden bucket before setting off to collect the cages.
I saw a large crowd of people along the riverbank, even more than in the morning.
Yun Xiaoxiao knew that Yuan Shitou had been beaten again.
They stopped clamoring to catch fish.
Besides, they already have so many fish at home.
We still don't know how to handle this.
Even if you try to raise it, it won't last more than a few days.
When the sun comes out, let's just make them into pickled fish.
The two quickly arrived at the place where the cages were kept.
Yun Xiaoxiao obediently stood on a dry grassy field.
The cage that Yuan Shitou brought in contained many small fish and loaches.
There are also two eels.
She was so happy she almost jumped for joy.
Yuan Shitou poured all the fish from the cage into the wooden bucket, and then, at Yun Xiaoxiao's request, placed the cage back over the gap.
After collecting the cages, the wooden buckets were all full.
Luckily, I had a basket, otherwise I don't know what I would have done.
When we arrived at the place where there were mountain crabs, there were indeed crabs in the cage.
It's small, but it runs quite fast.
Yuan Shitou took out a small bag from somewhere and took Yun Xiaoxiao's hand:
"Let's go, weren't you going to catch mountain crabs?"
"Let's keep hunting around here, don't let them wander too far."
Yun Xiaoxiao happily grabbed Yuan Shitou's hand and ran into the woods.
Their wooden buckets were placed in baskets on their backs, which were also placed beside the puddle.
No one will come here, and no one will take their things.
Besides, they won't go too far, and they'll know if someone comes.
When they returned, Yuan's mother was preparing fish.
Seeing that they had caught so many mountain crabs.
Curious, he asked, "Why are you picking these things up? They're all shells."
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "We can use it to make soup."
It can also be deep-fried and eaten.
It's so crunchy and satisfying to bite into, the sound is so pleasant.
Mother Yuan twitched her lips. So you caught so many of them just to listen to the sounds they made.
Yuan Shitou no longer wanted to speak.
He was defeated by Yun Xiaoxiao's strange ideas and indomitable spirit.
His young wife is too much of a troublemaker; he can hardly keep up with her.
Sigh, how am I going to live from now on?
Yuan Shitou is already worried about the future even before he's married.
What if we have a few more naughty little radishes like our daughter-in-law?
Let's just take his old life.
But it's impossible for him to give up his young wife.
He wanted to hang himself on the crooked tree that was his young wife.
I don't want to hang on other trees.
Especially Fan Xiaohua.
The dinner was undoubtedly plentiful.
There are fish and crabs.
The loach and eel haven't been cooked yet; we'll save them for tomorrow at noon.
There are also many small fish; Yun Xiaoxiao had already planned all of this.
We'll make them into dried fish and eat them as snacks.
