In the beginning, I kicked my step-brother to waste, and took a few acres of land to the countryside

Lin Manman was worried about not knowing what to send to Gu Yanting to express his gratitude. After dinner and chatting, Lin Shangjing happily discussed with Lin Shouwang:

"Second brother, your legs are almost healed. You can work for me all day tomorrow!"

Lin Shouwang agreed:

"Okay, my legs are healed anyway. I'll work for you for a few more days. You haven't rested all winter. You were up early and late at night to see your little sister off, so you're exhausted!"

Lin Shangjing said nonchalantly:

"What a big deal it is to see my little girl off. Besides, it's just going there in an oxcart and coming back in an oxcart. Why am I so tired?"

"I made an appointment with Sanniu from Uncle Zhang's family. Our team will go fishing in the river tomorrow. Sanniu finally agreed with the leader of the winter fishing team to add me as one of them. I can't let the chain slip!"

"I'm participating in the winter fishing. Our family can get a lot of fish. I see that my little sister loves fish. Let's share more so that she can eat enough. We can also make a big fish for the New Year dinner. It means a good thing!"

Hearing about the winter fishing, Lin Manman became interested and asked Lin Shangjing:

"Brother, do you want to go fishing tomorrow? Do you know what fish our team catches every year? Are there any small fish, the kind that are as long as one finger?"

Lin Shangjing said in confusion:

"Sanniu said, we catch all the big fish in the river. What do the small fish do? The finger-long ones can only catch fish sauce. Do you want to eat fish sauce?"

Lin Manman shook his head and said:

"No, I didn't want to eat fish sauce. Didn't I think that Brother Gu sent us so much food? We have to give some gifts in return. If we only make meat sticks, we don't have much meat at home. We don't have much meat in the mail. Not much."

"If this is a finger-long fish, it can be dried in a kang and made into spicy dried fish. It would be suitable to send it as a gift in return!"

"If there are a lot of small fish, let's make more, keep some for ourselves to eat as snacks, and then send some to the eldest brother. The eldest brother said that the food in the army is very good, but there is not much oil and water, so making some dried small fish is also a good idea. Give brother some oil and water!"

Lin Shangjing's mouth watered when he heard about the spicy dried fish. Although he had just finished dinner, the spicy dried fish was delicious as soon as he heard it!

Lin Shangjing quickly said:

"Spicy dried small fish, it sounds delicious. Wait a minute, Manman. I will go to Uncle Zhang's house and ask Sanniu if I can catch some small fish. Even if no one wants them by then, I can share them with our family. !”

After saying that, Lin Shangjing put on his big cotton-padded jacket and hurried to Uncle Zhang's house!

When he saw that Lin Shangjing was here, Uncle Zhang greeted happily:

"Xiao Lin is here. Come and warm yourself by the fire. It's so late. What can you do?"

Lin Shangjing replied with a smile:

"I came to see San Niu to discuss tomorrow's winter hunting!"

Uncle Zhang will also have to hitch a bullock cart tomorrow. After all, he not only has to pull people, he also has to pull tools, and he also has to transport fish back and forth. When he heard that they were discussing winter fishing, he asked:

"Winter hunting? Sanniu doesn't know as much as I do. If you want to know anything, just ask the uncle!"

When Lin Shangjing heard this, he was no longer in a hurry to find San Niu. He moved next to Uncle Zhang and squatted at the door of the stove pit to warm himself by the fire and said:

"Uncle Zhang, do we have those kind of small fish that keep growing during winter fishing? My family wants some!"

At this time, everyone likes to eat big fish, which has a lot of meat and tastes delicious. If you don’t order small fish, no one will like it. Fish sauce is okay, but fish sauce is too expensive and no one likes to make it!

After all, Xiaoyu doesn't spend money, and the food is rationed. You stay at home in the winter, and you can't cook things that cost food!

Upon hearing that Lin Shangjing wanted Xiaoyu, Uncle Zhang waved his hand and said:

"Why don't we have so many small fish? There are quite a lot of them. There must be a pot and a half of them online, but we just throw them away. No one wants these things. If there are big fish, who wants small ones? Fish!”

"Besides, you see the fish sauce tastes good, but stewing fish sauce takes up a lot of oil and rice. Who makes this in the middle of winter!"

"Hey, your family wants to eat fish sauce? That's fine. You can bring a basin later and I can fill it up for you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Shangjing was happy, and he begged cheerfully:

"Uncle Zhang, can I bring a few more pots? Then you can pack them all in the car for me. My sister said she would make dried fish and send it to my brother. My brother doesn't have much money in the army, so my sister said Make some small dried fish, he can eat it every day to replenish his energy!"

When it comes to dried fish, Uncle Zhang also knows that when it is cooked on the kang, use some dried chili peppers, add some lard, and stir-fry it in a big iron pot. It will be the most suitable for drinking!

But, what a waste of gas! He has to beg his wife for half a day to eat, and he has to be nagged by his wife for half a month!

However, after hearing what Lin Shangjing said, Uncle Zhang was really greedy. Thinking that his wife had to give him some face when Xiao Lin was here, Uncle Zhang rolled his eyes and told Aunt Zhang:

"Danniu, let's bring a basin tomorrow, and we'll decorate it with small fish, and bake some dried fish later. Whoever comes to our house to drink and stir-fry a plate is just a meat dish, isn't it?"

Aunt Zhang curled her lips when she heard this. Whoever comes to drink at home can use a pot of small fish to dry it? It’s this old man who pretends to be confused when he sees Xiao Lin, pretending to understand and making demands on himself!

However, no matter how much Aunt Zhang scolded Uncle Zhang in her heart, she still saved Uncle Zhang's face in front of Lin Shangjing. Aunt Zhang agreed:

"Okay, then you go with San Niu tomorrow and bring back a basin. I'll heat up the kang a little bit. After you're done with the little fish, you and San Niu sleep on the kang in the evening. It will warm you up all night and save you from being so cold. Got a cold!"

Hearing that his wife had agreed, Uncle Zhang was satisfied. Thinking of dried fish to go with wine, Uncle Zhang smiled and agreed to Lin Shangjing and said:

"Okay, you can bring a few more pots. The uncle will bring you two or three pots in one cart. Anyway, you have to drive several carts, which is enough for your family to make dried fish!"

Lin Shangjing was happy when he heard this, thanked Uncle Zhang, and hurried to tell Lin Manman the good news!
