The village chief put his hands behind his back, shook his head and walked out the door.
Wang Guihua was afraid of hurting her two sons, so she quickly comforted them, "Don't listen to your stubborn father. This much is enough. We are lucky enough to be able to support ourselves. As long as our family is safe and happy, that's more important than anything else."
Cheng Xiangdong and Cheng Xiangnan are really not good at studying. They feel dizzy when they see the textbooks and fall asleep in class.
Now that they are being scolded by their own father, how can they have any temper?
It is indeed their own fault, who can they blame?
Cheng Mingyue also followed suit and said comfortingly: "My two brothers just didn't encounter a good opportunity. When the opportunity comes in the future, maybe their achievements will be higher than theirs."
Wang Guihua and Cheng Mingyue's words inspired the two brothers, and they secretly made up their minds that they must make a name for themselves in the future to impress their father.
The days that followed went on as usual.
After Lu Chen's grandfather drank the medicine prepared by Cheng Mingyue, his condition improved a lot. Later, Cheng Mingyue prepared the medicine a few more times and heard that the old man's health was slowly recovering.
Cheng Mingyue had already written more than ten manuscripts and asked Lu Chen to help find someone to send them out.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Chen also secretly sold a small portion of the vegetables irrigated with river water in the space, bringing back more than 500 yuan, a large pile of various bills and a Plum brand women's watch for Cheng Mingyue.
This watch saved Cheng Mingyue from having to open her eyes to find herself in the dark every day. Now it is much more convenient for her to check the time. However, in order not to attract attention, she still put the watch in the space.
Cheng Mingyue carefully counted the money and bills she had given to her family and put them back into the cloth bag that Lu Chen had given her.
The money she spent on her family would only be her own. As for Lu Chen's money, she would keep it for him first and return it to him when they divorced.
Today is the last day of the canal repair work. Although everyone is physically exhausted, they are mentally excited.
After all, after today's work, the village will have two days off so that everyone can have a good rest, and then they will be busy harvesting wheat again.
Cheng Mingyue packed up her things as usual after finishing her own work.
She plans to take a stroll by the river today.
The fish in Cheng Mingyue's space fish pond have grown quite big.
Before, she only dared to cook a few for Lu Chen at home at night. Today, she wanted to let her family taste it, so she prepared to go to the river for a walk.
"Feiya, what are you doing by the river?"
It was that familiar voice again, and that familiar person again. Cheng Mingyue met Carpenter Li’s wife, Li Da Laba, again.
Cheng Mingyue giggled, "Aunt Li, I just saw a really big fish swimming by. I want to catch it and take it home to make a dish for my parents."
Li Da Laba rolled his eyes. "Fei Ya, you must be seeing things. Our river used to have a lot of fish, but they were all caught by the nearby villagers. Now, not to mention fish, even loaches are rare."
Cheng Mingyue pointed to the river and shouted, "Aunt Li, if you don't believe me, just look for yourself. It's such a big fish, how could I be wrong?"
Li Da Laba took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a fish, and a big one at that!
This time, Li Da Laba lost his composure and rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the river.
Cheng Mingyue felt funny in her heart. These were the fish in her space. If she told them to go east, they would definitely not dare to go west.
Just like that, Li Danabala watched helplessly as the big fish...swam into Cheng Mingyue's hands.
"This...this...Oh my God, Fatty, are you a fairy from heaven?!"
Li Da Laba was so surprised that he almost stuttered. He forgot that it was the time to break the Four Olds Movement and he couldn't say those words casually.
"Aunt Li, please don't talk nonsense. At most, this fish and I are destined to be together."
However, Cheng Mingyue was so happy to be praised by Li Da Laba that she decided to be generous for once. She pointed at the water plants and shouted, "Aunt Li, there's another one over there. Go catch it quickly."
Li Da Laba didn't care whether his clothes were wet or not, he stepped on the water and ran towards the water plants.
Because of Cheng Mingyue's secret help, Li Da Laba actually caught the fish.
She was in such a good mood that she thanked Cheng Mingyue profusely: "Fei... Oh, Mingyue, today is really thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch any fish. Tomorrow, I'll ask your uncle Li to make you a wooden comb."
Cheng Mingyue agreed readily: "Okay, Aunt Li. Then I'll be waiting. It would be best if Uncle Li could carve a moon for me. I've heard that Uncle Li's carpentry is one of the best in our village."
Li Da Laba threw the fish onto the shore, knocking it unconscious. Then he wrung the water out of his clothes and said with a smug look on his face, "That's right! When it comes to carpentry, your Uncle Li is absolutely the best!"
Carpenter Li's real name is Li Chuan. He doesn't look very good, with a bumpy face full of acne marks, but his carpentry skills are quite impressive.
Anyone in the nearby villages who wants a wooden basin, tables, chairs, benches, or a cabinet will go to him for help.
Although private transactions are no longer popular, every family will secretly give him some money, and sometimes even give him various food and daily necessities.
Therefore, the life of Carpenter Li's family is one of the few in Baihe Brigade.
But once a person's life becomes good, the little thoughts in his mind can no longer be hidden. The original owner saw Carpenter Li coming out of Widow Wang's house several times.
A married man always goes to a widow's house. She doesn't believe a word of it if someone says they have nothing to do with each other.
But she had no evidence, and even if she wanted to remind Li Da Laba, she didn't know where to start. In the end, she could only say hello and go home with the fish.
Our China is a serious food country. There are countless ways to cook fish. But now it is suitable to eat separately, so Cheng Mingyue plans to make a boiled fish.
The more side dishes there are for boiled fish, the better it tastes. Unfortunately, the ingredients at home are so scarce. Apart from cabbage and potatoes, there are only tofu and bean sprouts that Wang Guihua had exchanged for from Aunt Liu. But these are enough.
Cheng Mingyue processed the fish meat, washed it clean, and prepared to fillet it.
She first chopped off the fish head and put it aside, planning to ask her mother to make soup for the family in the evening.
Then use a knife to cut the fish meat from both sides of the fish bones, remove the fish fillets, and cut the remaining fish meat into transparent thin slices about two millimeters thick at a 15-degree angle.
This step is very important. It cannot be cut too thin, otherwise it will break easily. If it is too thick, it will not be tasty. Cheng Mingyue cuts it beautifully with her excellent knife skills.
Put the cut fish fillets in clean water and soak them with a pinch of salt to remove the blood and fishy smell from the fish.
