"Bai Shitou, ignore them. Send the fish home quickly and kill it when you're ready to eat. Fresh fish tastes better."
The little girl ignored those who wanted to exchange peach cakes and snacks for fish.
The candies, snacks, and other treats her elder brother gave her were always the best.
The little girl never ate the peach cakes and egg cakes from the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I'll take it home first. If my mother doesn't agree, I'll send it back to Brother Xiaoguang."
Bai Shitou pursed his lips, and under the envious gazes of the children, he walked home with the big black fish in his arms.
"They've fed the little mousedeer, too. Let's go home and watch the fish!"
When she was at home, the little girl liked to watch the fish swimming around in the big basin.
Sometimes the eldest brother went to the county town and the second brother went to school, and the little girl would move a small stool and sit next to the big basin, watching for the whole morning.
"Okay! Panpan, is the pickled fish that Brother Xiaoguang mentioned delicious?"
As a qualified foodie, the little fat man’s focus is the same as Zhang Panpan’s, not only whether it is edible but also whether it tastes good.
"Make way. Let's stop here for today. I want to feed the mouse deer tomorrow. Please prepare some vegetable leaves in advance and wait here."
Lei Laosan separated the crowd, picked up his little mousedeer, and felt indescribably proud.
I am so smart. I let others help me feed the mouse deer, and they still have to be humble and say nice things to me.
"Panpan, does pickled fish mean stewing pickled cabbage and fish together? I have a lot of pickled cabbage at home."
Facing Zhang Panpan, Lei Laosan immediately put on a funny face.
"Yes, we need sauerkraut."
…
The four little guys each held a little mousedeer and walked towards home talking and laughing.
"Mom, you take a rest, just let me do it."
When Zhang Shuguang walked into the yard, he saw Su Hong carrying a bucket and watering the vegetable garden in the yard.
Because the temperature is suitable, the rapeseed sown a few days ago has already sprouted fresh green shoots.
"I can do this little bit of work. Life is better now, and I have plenty of energy."
The powerful pills and body-strengthening pills greatly transformed and improved the physical fitness of Zhang Shuguang and his family.
If you really think about it, my father Zhang Xiangnan, a veteran of many battles and a colonel, is actually the weakest and has the worst physical fitness in their family.
Next month, his father will most likely go to Ailao Mountain to carry out a mission. Zhang Shuguang plans to use up the powerful pills and body-strengthening pills that he has kept in his space to ensure his father's safety to the greatest extent.
Zhang Shuguang found a large basin, poured all the fish in the basket into the basin, and added water.
"The fish species here are quite similar to those in our hometown."
What Su Hong didn't know was that these fish came from the same source as the fish she ate at home.
"Yes, they are all common freshwater fish. Mom, I'm going to Aunt Yan's house to ask for some pickled cabbage. I'll make pickled fish for you at noon."
Zhang Shuguang pulled off a few vines from the wall and passed them through the fish's gills.
"Xiao Guang, let me go to the First and Second Regiment Commanders. You can also deliver one to the homes of the old leader and Brigadier General Xiao."
Su Hong put down the bucket and ladle in his hands, walked over and picked up the two big carp.
"Why are the tails of the carp here also red? Aren't they said that only the big carp in the Yellow River have red tails?"
The Yellow River passes through Dongfeng County, and Su Hong is no stranger to the story of the big carp in the Yellow River.
“Who knows, maybe the water quality here is similar to that in the Yellow River.
Mother, Aunt Yan has made a lot of pickled vegetables at home, don’t forget to ask her for some.”
Unable to explain, Zhang Shuguang quickly changed the subject.
"Okay, I won't forget it."
The mother and daughter went out together carrying the fish. At the entrance of the alley, Zhang Shuguang met the four little ones who were returning home.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Send fish to Grandpa Cao and Brigadier General Xiao's family."
Zhang Shuguang raised the big fish in his hand.
"Did we keep it at home?"
The little girl became anxious when she heard it.
"I've left enough for you to eat. The rest of the fish is in a big basin in the yard. Go and see."
"Okay, big brother, come back early and make me pickled fish for lunch."
Whether it is pickled fish or boiled fish, Zhang Shuguang is the one who cooks at home.
Neither his grandmother nor his mother had ever argued with him, mainly because of the two spoonfuls of hot oil poured on the food before serving. People who were used to being frugal simply couldn't stand it.
Zhang Shuguang first went to Commander Cao's house, where Zhao Xiumei and her son and daughter-in-law were all at home.
"Xiao Guang is here. Are my brother and sister still playing at your house? I was just about to call them back."
When Zhang Shuguang walked in, Liu Min was about to go out.
"Stop shouting. I'll make pickled fish for lunch and let them eat at my house.
We caught a lot of fish today, so I'm sending one to you. The other two are for Brigade Commander Xiao and Political Commissar Qiao's families."
Zhang Shuguang hung one of the grass carps directly on the door of Cao's kitchen.
"Hunting in the rain forest, catching turtles in the five oceans, what else can't you do?"
Cao Guangming put down the newspaper in his hand and said in a sour tone.
Compared with Xiaoguang, Cao Guangming felt that he was a waste.
Other people gain something every day, but I wandered around in the rainforest for half a day and came back empty-handed. Not only did my legs still ache.
Wei Hu and Qin Junwei are following him. If he were to go in alone, he would probably get lost.
"Uncle Cao, there are different levels of understanding, and different skills have different specializations. I'm good at swindling birds and fishing, but I'm also clueless when asked to write an article."
