Li Yan had just left Zhoujia Village with the fish when she met the Zhou brothers and Tietou who were returning home on the road.
When Tietou saw Li Yan, he rushed forward happily: "Sister, are you leaving?"
Li Yan was holding a fish in her hand and couldn't touch Tietou's head, so she could only answer: "Yes, sister just went to your house to buy fish!"
Tietou said regretfully: "I just got back!"
Looking at the disappointed little guy, Li Yan coaxed him, "Then Tietou, come to your sister's house to play next time!"
Tietou nodded heavily.
Li Yan said goodbye to a few people and quickly hurried home with the fish.
After returning home, Li Yan handed the fish to her sister-in-law and went to prepare the ingredients for making pepper fish.
After everything was ready, Lin instructed her daughter: "Call your grandparents and uncle's family over for lunch!"
Li Yan agreed and went to the next room to tell Mrs. Wu about Lin's instructions.
After Li Xiaomei cleaned the fish, Li Yan quickly marinated the fish fillets.
Afraid that other people in the family might not be used to eating Sichuan peppercorns, Li Yan prepared two methods.
Because her uncle had to rush back to Linzhen, Li Yan prepared the meal early.
Li Xiaomei put the food on the table, and Li Yan went next door to call someone over.
Everyone sat down at the table. Wu turned to Lin Feng and asked, "How was his uncle's trip to the south? Did it go smoothly?"
Lin Feng: "Everything is going well, but there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the caravan, so I have to rush back this afternoon!"
After hearing this, Mr. Li said, "Let's eat and talk at the same time. Don't delay the children's trip!"
Li Yan quickly picked up a piece of Sichuan pepper fish and put it into Lin Feng's bowl: "Uncle, try it. Have you ever eaten it before?"
Lin Feng picked up the fish curiously and put it into his mouth. A novel taste spread in his mouth. Lin Feng couldn't help but pick up another piece. From the discomfort at the beginning to the more he savored it, he became more and more addicted. His niece was right. He had never tasted it before!
As they ate, they chatted about family matters. Li Yan recalled her promise to Dayong to help him find his sister. It had been a few days, and now her uncle had finally returned, so she asked, "Uncle, have you ever been to Yuecheng?"
Li Feng said, "Yuecheng, every time we go south, we have to pass through Tongcheng and then travel east for half a day!"
After hearing what her uncle said, Li Yan felt that there was hope: "Uncle, can you take Dayong with you next time you go to the south?" Li Yan told Lin Feng about Dayong's story.
"It's not difficult, just wait for my news!"
Dayong was excited when he heard that he could really be given a ride to his sister's house.
Although he had lived comfortably in the Li family during his wandering life, he still missed his only relative and was eager to know if she was doing well. That was his only concern in this world.
Happy times are always short-lived, and departure came quietly. Lin sent her brother to the door and said, "When you are done with your work, come home to celebrate the festival!"
Lin Feng nodded, squeezed the horse's belly, and waved the whip. The horse was like an arrow, disappearing from his sight in the blink of an eye.
Lin didn't return home until she could no longer see her brother.
At this time, only Mrs. Wu and Mr. Li were left in the main hall.
Li Yan took out the record of the villagers picking forsythia last time and said, "Grandma, last time we discussed paying the villagers by weight. At that time, we were worried that we didn't have enough money at home, so we calculated the wages as ten cents a day. Now that my uncle is back and brought some more money, I want to pay the remaining wages."
