021 【Catch Fish】
Mu Qingqiu ate sweet potatoes back to his head, it was very rare, he ate three in a row, and he burped with 'burps, burps', and went to get the sweet potatoes in the rattan basket on the kitchen windowsill, Mu Qingqiu couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, it seemed that he was too indulgent!
The little guy didn't eat enough, his little stomach was shy, and he still ate, but it was not good to eat.
Hurriedly grabbed Mu Qingxuan's little hand, smiled and patted the little guy's belly: "Why is there a big watermelon here, listen, it's all cooked!" ”
"It's not a watermelon, it's a belly paper, a belly paper." Mu Qingxuan pointed to his belly and said seriously, in order to make his sister believe, he also lifted his clothes and raised his belly to show his sister, and sure enough, the bulging belly on the thin little body was particularly obvious.
"Huh!" Mu Qingqiu laughed in a low voice and put down the hem of his younger brother's clothes, and said equally seriously: "Oh! It turned out to be Xuan'er's belly paper! ”
"Eun." Mu Qingxuan was very happy to be recognized.
"My sister plans to use these sweet potatoes to make sweet potato cakes, which are better than sweet potatoes. Do you want to eat sweet potatoes now? Or wait for my sister to make sweet potato cakes and then eat more delicious sweet potato cakes? "Mu Qingqiu is good at persuasion, the little guy is timid, and he can't hit his initiative.
Mu Qingxuan blinked his eyes, a little tangled, the sweet potatoes were delicious, and he still wanted to eat them. But my sister said that sweet potato cake is better than sweet potato, what if he wants to eat both? It's so tangled, after thinking about it, Mu Qingxuan suddenly looked at Mu Qingqiu with bright eyes, and said with stars in his eyes: "Sister, eat a little more sweet potatoes, and make sweet potato cakes for the rest, okay?" ”
Mu Qingqiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, hey, the little guy has also learned to bargain.
In order not to dampen Mu Qingxuan's enthusiasm, Mu Qingqiu found a small sweet potato from the rattan basket that was only two fingers thick and half a palm long, and agreed to Mu Qingxuan's proposal.
Mu Qingxuan held the small sweet potato, happily took a bite, but only took a little bite, and then put the rest in his pocket, which was intended to be kept and eaten slowly.
Seeing this, Mu Qingqiu hurriedly stopped: "You can't just put food in your pocket." As he spoke, he took a piece of white gauze that he had bought back at the market to sew steaming cloth, and wrapped the sweet potato in it for his younger brother.
Mu Qingxuan happily carried the sweet potato, and from time to time reached out to touch the pocket containing the sweet potato, laughing, not to mention how satisfied he was.
With such a cute younger brother by his side, Mu Qingqiu's heart is so soft and full of motivation for life!
Seeing that the time was not early, Mu Qingqiu quickly loaded the raw sweet potatoes that had not been washed in a half-back basket, and planned to take his younger brother to wash them in the river at the east end of the village.
When I was about to reach the river, I heard someone laughing from a distance.
It was the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who washed clothes in the village, all of them were talking about the shortcomings of the east and the west, and the appearance of Mu Qingqiu and Mu Qingxuan made the women stunned.
They are all from the same village, most of them know Mu Qingqiu, and naturally they also know what happened to the two children, but Mu Qingqiu, who hid when he saw people in the past, and Mu Qingqiu, who rarely showed up, suddenly put on new clothes and appeared in everyone's sight with a smile, which was really surprising.
"Good mothers-in-law, good aunts, good aunts, good sisters......" Mu Qingqiu greeted with a smile, in fact, among the seven or eight village women by the river, only two or three of them had an impression, and they didn't know what to call them, but it didn't hurt to be sweet.
The village women were even more shocked and did not react.
I heard Mu Qingxuan's immature voice learning from my sister: "Mother-in-law, good, aunts, aunts, sisters, sisters, good......" After studying seriously, Mu Qingxuan looked up at his sister, and saw that his sister nodded at him with a smile, straightened her waist happily, and praised herself with a smile.
“…… Good, good, Qiu'er, Xuan'er! Someone reacted and responded with a smile, followed by other village women laughing and agreeing.
gossiped about Mu Qingqiu's sisters and brothers.
Mu Qingqiu smiled and put down the back basket, took out the rattan frame, filled it with sweet potatoes, put it in the shallow water of the river beach, took out a wooden basin to brush it and put it aside, and then squatted in front of the rattan frame by the river and began to wash the sweet potatoes.
"I want it too, and I want to wash it too, sister." Mu Qingxuan couldn't get to the rattan frame, and anxiously circled behind his sister's back.
Mu Qingqiu picked up a sweet potato in his hand and wanted to play with Mu Qingxuan, but suddenly saw a fish in the river swinging his tail, smiled and withdrew his hand, pointed to the fish in the river and said to Mu Qingqiu: "Do you want to eat fish?" ”
Mu Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, followed the direction of her sister's finger, and after seeing the fish in the river, her eyes lit up, and she nodded heavily: "I want to eat, I want to eat." ”
"Okay, then take a closer look, pick a fat and big one and tell my sister, and my sister will catch it back and make it for Xuan'er to eat." Mu Qingqiu's teasing tone provoked the village women to laugh along.
Originally, after Mu Qingqiu's sister and brother were kicked out by the Mu family, they were very sympathetic to the two children, but Mu Qingqiu was very stubborn, the Mu family lost her, as if everyone in the world was a bad person, she hid when she saw people, and never talked to anyone, but now that she looks, she still laughs!
"Eun, eat fish, eat fish." Mu Qingxuan was instantly diverted, squatting by the river, staring at the river with wide eyes.
When a fish swims by, no matter how big or small, they exclaim, "This is good, this is good." ”
After the fish was scared away by his shout, he pouted and was unhappy: "The fish is not well-behaved, why should you run away?" ”
Inevitably his younger brother accidentally fell into the water and was in danger, Mu Qingqiu always paid attention to his younger brother, and when he heard the little guy's muttering, he couldn't help but chuckle.
The interaction between the two sisters and brothers here, the village women laughed one by one, they all thought Mu Qingqiu was joking, although there were fish in the river, but not as many as in the first few years, in fact, the remaining fish in the river today are very cunning, not to mention Mu Qingqiu, a little girl, who was used to fishing in the village, and had not caught a fish for a long time.
Time flies quickly when he gets busy, and the small half-back basket of sweet potatoes that Mu Qingqiu brought over is actually only about a dozen, and all the work has been washed at this time.
After washing, the sweet potatoes were loaded, and seeing that his younger brother was still staring at the river seriously looking for fish, Mu Qingqiu took off his shoes and went into the water barefoot.
"Qiu'er, don't go into the water." A village woman was in a hurry to stop her, and a word came out, but she saw Mu Qingqiu standing steadily in the river and smiling at her: "Mother-in-law, I'm fine, the water here is very shallow." ”
"Sister, sister, Xuan'er is going down too." Mu Qingxuan was interrupted by the voice of the voice, and when he saw his sister standing in the river, he was very curious.
"No!" Mu Qingqiu winked at his younger brother, saw his younger brother pout, and said, "Xuan'er wants to catch fish on the shore!" What if Yan'er also goes into the water, and no one looks at the fish that my sister caught, so what if she runs away? ”
"Oooh!" Mu Qingxuan immediately became happy, it turned out that he still had a difficult task, and he was in good spirits at the moment, and he was ready to catch the fish.
Mu Qingqiu put his finger to his mouth, 'shh ”
"Eun!" Mu Qingqiu nodded heavily, and after answering, he remembered that his sister didn't let him make a sound, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands, blinking his eyes to look at his sister, and seeing that Mu Qingqiu was laughing, he covered his mouth and relaxed with a low smile.
Mu Qingqiu stood quietly in the water, looking down at his feet.
At the end of September, the river was already quite cold, but for Mu Qingqiu, it was just a moment of coolness when he entered the water, and this challenge was not a problem at all.
Mu Qingqiu stood for a quarter of an hour, her feet always moved slightly, and the village women couldn't help but be curious, but for a child, maybe it was normal to be strange, right?
After washing the clothes, the village women got up and left, and they wanted to see Mu Qingqiu standing in the water with their bare hands, how to catch fish, but they didn't wait to see it, and they also left one after another, and when they left, Mu Qingqiu vaguely heard them talking.
What kind of family is evil, the two children are happy to be like this when they get some sweet potatoes, and I don't know if they can carry this winter.
What look at the clothes on the two children, it looks like they are newly made, maybe Mu Su left a trick for the children back then, and it was not until the two children were driven to the Mu family's old house that they found out. Alas! If this is known by the Mu family, it will be another matter.
Hearing the word 'Mu family', Mu Qingqiu couldn't help frowning slightly, could it be that the Mu family would be worried about her three melons and two dates?
It's really possible, the Mu family can live a good life, I heard that it is all dependent on the father of the original owner of the body, and the person who has taken advantage of the sweetness is really hard to say.
"Sister!" Mu Qingxuan waited for a long time, and when he saw that his sister had not moved, he thought that his sister had forgotten to catch fish.
In fact, Mu Qingqiu was waiting, not only waiting for the fish to ignore her existence, but also waiting for the village women to leave.
Catching fish empty-handed is indeed strange for a six-year-old girl, Mu Qingqiu doesn't want to be the focus, the impact of her life experience is enough, no matter more, there is no need.
"Catch it." Mu Qingqiu suddenly stretched out his hand and quickly slapped the fish in front of his feet, and with a 'pop' sound, the water splashed, and the fish was shot out of the water and flew straight towards the river beach.
Mu Qingxuan saw the fish flying over, his eyes widened and he opened his hands to hug it, but the fish flew over with his head rubbed.
Mu Qingqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, of course she wouldn't really let her younger brother pick it up, she had already identified the direction, but when she used this small body to catch fish for the first time, she didn't grasp the strength well, and she almost hit her younger brother, but fortunately she staggered.
"Smack! ~~" There was a sound, and the fish that flew out of the water landed on the river beach.
The fish landed, and after Mu Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, he immediately looked back and saw the fish jumping on the grass on the river beach, and ran over quickly.
Reaching out to grab it, Mu Qingxuan just felt that he had caught it, and found that his hand was empty, so three times, Mu Qingxuan's eyes widened, a carp hit him, and the whole person pounced.
"Caught, sister, I've caught." Mu Qingxuan, whose entire small body was on the fish, twisted his head happily and shouted.
Mu Qingqiu, who was stepping on the shore with one foot, almost fell down, don't be too cute! Little brother, do you want to tease your sister to death?
When the western sky was full of sunshine, Mu Qingqiu carried the basket on his back and went home with his younger brother.
The fish has been scraped and gutted by Mu Qingqiu, and it can be served directly in the pot when he gets home.
Fortunately, in order to cut off the sweet potato, I brought a small knife with me.
With a small knife and ready-made running water, Mu Qingqiu was naturally willing to handle the fish before going home.
That night, Mu Qingqiu and his younger brother ate fish and drank fish soup, during which Lin Sanzheng may have smelled the fragrance, and secretly ran over to look at the door, Mu Qingqiu beckoned to come in and scooped a bowl of fish soup, and there was naturally a lot of fish.
