After a light rain, the air is fresh

The dirt road outside Huating County is firm and the ground is soaked by rainwater, revealing a skin-like luster and tightness

When Hai Rui came here to handle the case, he didn't just clean up and donate Seeing that the bridge was broken, he also repaired it, and when he saw that the road was not passable, he also took care of it, although now he has been dismissed from the office, but the people of Huating often talk about it in their mouths It is still this "Hai Qingtian"

On both sides of the dirt road leading to the city gate, all the prostitutes and earthen kilns are gone, and in their place are serious tea sheds and home-cooked rice stalls, although they are still small businesses, but they are bought and sold by the public, and they are no longer paid for with blank slips of paper

On the side of the stalls, there are also a lot of vegetable vendors lined up on the ground, which is lighter than the city tax, and can supply the food stall owners at any time, and those who have the way to deliver the food to the big restaurants in the city, and the rest are also sold here

Next to a wonton shed, there is a fish stall with lotus leaves on the ground, and all kinds of fish are arranged in order, large, medium and small, and there is a wooden bucket next to it, and live fish are raised in water

The fishmonger wore a straw hat with a broken top, and was waiting for the buyer to come to the door, when suddenly there was a chirping sound behind him, and something was touching his buttocks, and when he looked back, it was a small bare foot, and the maroon above the instep was shiny, and the edge of the soles was white, and when he looked up along the half of the full, round calves, he saw a little girl carrying a wicker basket, and this girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, very tall, with her elbows bent in front of her chest, and the big fingers of both hands were digging into the straps of the basket, and a circle of green blades of grass sticking out from the edge of the basket, trembling beside her neck

Fishmonger: "Is there something wrong?"

The little girl smiled and drank wine: "Big brother, let a small place not work."

Fishmonger: "There are a lot of places over there, why don't you go over there?"

The little girl smiled: "The vegetable seller over there thinks I'm fishy."

The fishmonger laughed: "They think you're fishy, you don't know that our peers are enemies."

The little girl turned sideways and lifted the basket to open the grass cover and smiled: "Look at the fish you sell and I sell the shrimp, where are the peers who are enemies."

"Girl," the owner of the wonton shed threw the towel on his shoulder and said, "Don't squeeze it, my little shed has four sticks and a piece of cloth, and if you squeeze it again, you will squeeze it down" The little girl smiled and said: "Uncle, is it open in the morning, bring me a bowl of shrimp skin" The owner of the wonton shed: "How can you eat my bowl of wontons and plug my mouth, I have pork stuffing, mutton stuffing, no shrimp skin stuffing, you can find another one."

The little girl stretched her neck and looked into his pot: "How much is a bowl of your wontons?" The owner of the wonton shed saw that she was going to buy it, so he copied the spoon and replied: "Ten dollars for pork and fifteen dollars for mutton, which one do you want?"

The little girl put the shrimp basket against the pole of the shed and put it in a corner of the shed, and shouted at the passers-by: "Eat the wontons, the wontons that have just come out of the pot, the good pork and mutton filling, the shrimp skin soup is guaranteed to be fresh, a bowl of ten money, a bowl of ten money, a bowl of ten money, a bowl of ten money, a sweet voice, shouted quickly and clearly, and it is indescribably good."

The wonton shack owner was a little anxious: "You kid said that I don't have Shopee Skin, and I don't have Shopee soup, how do you call people to fight......

The little girl picked up a big bowl on his table, scooped a big bowl of shrimp skin into her basket and gave it to him, and said with a smile: "Isn't this there, don't worry, don't want your money, what a big deal for the neighbors in the far street" As she was talking, she saw that there were already two guests coming in, and she hurriedly said: "Welcome, welcome, sit inside, sit inside, sit inside," and went to help pull a stool

With her to help the soldiers, this wonton shed sold more than 20 bowls for a while, and the owner of the shed was so happy that he couldn't put a bowl of wontons and thanked her The little girl smiled while eating: "If you think it's successful, I'll send you two catties every day from tomorrow Anyway, it's boiling soup It's enough for you to use The price is good to discuss. I still have big green shrimp You chop the stuffing and it's definitely easy to sell If you don't peel it, I'm idle when I sell it, and I'll peel it for you Nothing more than adding some handmade money Sell a few more bowls and you'll come back How about it?"

The owner of the shed smiled: "Success"

The little girl squatted by the basket and drank wontons, and when she saw the fishmonger sitting quietly, the fish in front of her didn't know how to get down, so she said, "You also shouted twice."

The fishmonger smiled and put his finger on the top of the straw hat: "The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, what should be bought will always come to buy."

The little girl smiled and said, "Of course you are not afraid of the aroma of wine, you are afraid of the smell of this fish" At this time, a little boy about two or three years old came over on the road and saw that there were small shrimp jumping around in her basket, and he smiled and stretched out his little hand to grab it, and the little girl hurriedly put the bowl aside, shook his little fat hand, and smiled: "Oh, who is here, where is your mother?"

The little boy opened his eyes wide and pointed to the basket: "shrimp shrimp shrimp"

The little girl smiled and said, "That's right, this is shrimp, it's delicious, do you want to buy some to go home?"

The little boy turned back and said, "Mommy......"

The little girl followed his eyes, and a young woman with her back to this side, was bargaining with the stall owner at the needlework stall diagonally opposite, and the pedestrians were noisy, and she did not hear the voice of the child

For fear of disturbing other people's business, the little girl didn't go to greet her, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, what's your last name?"

Little boy: "Xu" The little girl said: "Oh, this surname is not common, is it a bamboo mat or a habitual habit" The little boy reached out and went to catch the shrimp again The little girl said: "Don't catch it" The fishmonger next to him smiled and stretched out his arm Holding a small talisman bag tied to a thin rope in his hand and shaking: "The shrimp whiskers will prick people, come and play with this" The little boy took it and fiddled with it and stopped catching shrimp

The boy's mother finished buying needlework and thread, and when she turned around and found that the child was gone, she hurriedly shouted: "Ximu, Ximu"

The little boy hurriedly ran over and his mother took his hand and found that the talisman bag fell to the ground and said, "Pick up everything randomly" and smelled a fishy smell and frowned: "I said it earlier, teach you to stay away from those stinky fish and shrimp" took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and wiped it heavier The little boy felt aggrieved and grinned a few times and began to cry

When the shrimp girl heard her say this, her mouth pursed and she hummed softly: "What is a stinky fish and rotten shrimp Rich and great Rich to come to this place to buy needlework You say yes" But when I saw the fishmonger next to me covering his face, he lowered his head and fell asleep, and couldn't help but shrink his shoulders and laugh: "Look at your poor fish, let's take this little fish for a night" and shouted for him: "Sell fish, sell fish, stinky fish and rotten shrimp, send rice to the enemy."

When the boy's mother heard this, she became more and more disgusted, threw her dirty handkerchief on the ground, and dragged the child to the vegetable stall

The little girl who sold shrimp puffed out her cheeks, turned her lower lip out, made a grimace at her back, and looked at the strange handkerchief on the ground, and picked it up, and said with a smile: "Fool, I don't know how to be blessed in the blessings, you don't want to" and looked at the talisman bag on the ground, and wanted to pick it up and return it to the fishmonger, but she saw the little boy running back on his feet, and she thought that the boy was here to ask for his mother's handkerchief, but the little boy squatted down and picked up the talisman bag, grabbed it with both hands, looked at it, giggled, stuffed it into the collar, turned around and pedaled back, and his mother turned back after buying vegetables, thinking that he had been there all along, so she pulled him away again

The little girl was very articulate, and sold out the basket of shrimp just after one o'clock in the afternoon, and she bought some cakes and sauce meat, wrapped them in oilcloth, and returned to the river with the basket on her back, and when she looked under the shade of the willows, she did not see her own boat, and complained: "Oh, I said that I had a good rest for a day, and I must have cast the net again, and I was not too tired to panic."

Waited until it was dark, and the boat didn't come back She looked for a big poplar tree and climbed up to look at the boat on the river, and I didn't see the shadow of my own boat, and I was bored, and I pouted the wicker and slashed a small whistle, and it was blowing, and there were footsteps on the road behind me, and when I looked back, it was the fishmonger in the morning, and I was walking forward with my head bowed and carrying a wooden barrel, and she blew twice, and the fishmonger didn't respond, and she "fed" it, and the fishmonger turned around and smiled: "It's you."

The little girl ran over and took the flute from her mouth, and grabbed the bucket on his back, and said, "It's sold out, oh, isn't there a lot left?"

Fishmonger: "yes"

The little girl smiled and said, "Put it down, put it down quickly" Fishmonger: "What are you doing" Put the bucket down The little girl ran away after a while and brought some dry firewood and branches to find a flat moon near the water and piled it up Come back and smile: "This fish will stink tomorrow I'll help you make grilled dried fish" The fishmonger smiled: "What are you here to help me You got a bowl of wontons in the morning Now you obviously want to eat grilled fish again."

The little girl smiled: "I can't see it, you are much smarter than the wonton seller, oh, don't care, they are all fishermen, who is missing these two, I am hungry, I feel strange and cold in the water at this time, take advantage of you, and return you next time."

The fishmonger laughed at her, and followed her to the pyre, and lit a fire, and pouted wicker and roasted the fish

It doesn't take much effort, the fish fragrance is revealed, and the little girl is unceremonious, so she takes a bunch and eats it first, and praises: "Delicious, delicious"

The fishmonger said: "Of course the fish is delicious, this fish has been put for a day, where can it be delicious?"

The little girl said: "You are not a water person, you are here to do this later" The fishmonger was a little strange: "How to say" The little girl said: "Many people are stupid and think that the fish should be fresh to be delicious, but in fact, after a few hours out of the water, it will be fragrant when it is made, this is the common sense of life, those who are near the water know it, and those who farm the land do not understand."

The fishmonger's eyes moved away and he smiled: "I've been doing it for so long, I'm still a layman," and when he saw that the oilcloth bag she put next to him was revealing the meat, he said, "Why don't you eat it with sauce?" the little girl smiled: "That's what I bought for my father-in-law, but it's not stingy" The fishmonger smiled: "It's obviously stingy, but some people say."

The little girl pouted and was about to argue, but she heard the sound of a fishing song coming from the river, singing: "The flowers are blooming, the clouds are scattered, the warm breeze is blowing, the boat is like a car, I was going to cast a net to catch the river moon, how could I get a few fish," she immediately stood up, turned upside down and smiled: "My father-in-law is back."

The fishmonger also turned his head to look at the river with a grilled fish steak in his hand, but he saw the river in the shade of the willows, and the sound of the oars flowed eastward, and a bright moon clarified the night, illuminating the return boat, and the little girl stood on tiptoe, and her calves were tense, and she propped her body high, shook her hand vigorously and shouted to the small canopy boat: "Father-in-law, I'm here."

The boat slowly rocked The old man on the boat smiled and said, "Little pendant, why are you so happy?"

The little girl smiled and said, "Someone invited us to eat grilled fish."

After dinner, Xiao Ximu ran around in his yard to play, his father squatted under the eaves and looked at it with a smile, his mother cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, his grandfather came out on crutches, teased his grandson, and slipped out of the door, his mother put down his work, and said: "Father, the chaotic people outside are terrible, you better be careful, don't go out, if you teach people to collide and frighten, it's not worth it."

His grandfather straightened his back slightly and smiled: "The old man is already in this step of the field, what else is there to be afraid of, I have nothing to take or rob on this body, alas, people are old, they can't do it if they don't exercise, live a few more years, listen more, see more, and everything will come back "Xi Muniang was not at ease and greeted: "Cha Shengbi, Cha Shengbi, follow a little master" by the corner door Cha Shengbi appeared A Zeng Zi face shrank a lot It seems to have been thinned from italics to Song Ti Carrying a small burden Frowning

Xi Muniang saw the burden on his body and was stunned for a moment, Cha Shengbi lowered his head and whispered: "Master, young master, young grandmother, a letter from the slave's family says that my grandfather is sick, and the slave is going back to his hometown Haining to take a look."

Xi Mu's father said: "Hey, I don't know, you are this age, there is still a grandfather at home, go go, filial piety is great, can this still stop you" Grandpa Xi Mu knew that after the fight, this old Cha has been insisting on not leaving It is not easy to be able to do so now It's a pity that he can't wait for the day when the Xu family turns the tables He smiled slightly and nodded: "Ying'er, go and get twenty taels of silver for Mr. Cha He is the old man of our family, and he can't be treated badly before leaving."

Zha Shengbi couldn't stand it a little and wiped his tears and said, "Master, I'm ...... I'll come back " Grandpa Xi Mu said: "You and I know it in my hearts, take it" Xi Mu Dad went into the house to get the silver Cha Sheng pen took his sleeve and wiped it on his face and ran out of the door on his feet Grandpa Xi Mu sighed: "This is also a chivalrous person, future generations and grandchildren can't be wrong" He also went out on crutches and trembled

Xu Ximu saw that his grandfather was out and wanted to chase after him, but the soles of his feet tripped and fell to the ground, and his father just came out with the silver, and when he saw this, he hurriedly came over to help him up, patted the soil on his body, and saw a small talisman bag thrown on the ground, picked it up and said with a smile: "Hey, when did this please talisman?"

Xi Muniang saw it in the house and hurriedly said: "That's what he picked up on the street and threw it all away, how did he pick it up from the bottom and throw it away, it's about to be thrown away" turned around and continued to clean up the bowl The brows were furrowed

Xi Mu's father opened the talisman bag and saw that there was a small pentagon piece of wood two fingers wide inside Sauce-colored near jujube, like a small token with dragon patterns shallow carving It's quite delicate Plain dress up for his son to wear on his neck Pat his little head and smiled: "Fu is a blessing Fu can't be invited to pick up is a real blessing Blessing should be a treasure to wear it."

Grandpa Ximu walked around with a cane Thinking about things in his heart Unconsciously walked far away and came to the riverside He straightened his waist slightly and raised his eyes But he saw that the night was blue and clear The river waves were green and waxy All returned to the shore A few lights were lit under a big willow tree near the shore There were vaguely three figures eating grilled fish around the fire Listening to the voice, it was probably a grandfather, son, and granddaughter's family A group of laughter and laughter Qingle leisurely Thinking of the calculation just now and his own life I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly I sighed secretly: "That's it, let him be arrogant I'm at home." Enjoy a few years of family fun."
