Traveling through mountains and rivers
Chapter 78
The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Laba Festival.
Tao Qing was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, and the ingredients for cooking Laba porridge were prepared the day before, and they can be cooked directly the next day.
But people from the Tao family are coming over today, so some dishes need to be prepared.
The family bought meat, and Tao Qing packed pickles, some radishes and potatoes by himself, so he could have a few vegetables if he worked hard.
Ning Ze took three tightly packed children to Tao's house. The children hadn't gone out for a few days, and now they all want to go out for a walk.
Ning Ze thought that he happened to be going to Tao's house to call someone, and it was the same with the three children.
It's just that the three children are afraid of the cold, so they don't say anything about their clothes, and each of them hugs the puppy and doesn't let go.
The puppies are so close to them that they are happy to be held.
The main reason is that the puppy is not very big, and its ability to resist drought is not very strong. After going out, he would rather be hugged than walk by himself, so he has learned to be lazy.
Ning Ze thought it was quite funny to see them like this, and let them go by themselves without any one of them hugging their backs.
The three children didn't know what Ning Ze was thinking at all, and they were all happy to come out to let the wind go. They were all smiling all the way up the mountain, and even said something that Ning Ze couldn't understand in children's language.
They walked all the way to the Tao's house like this, and the faces of the three children all turned red. As soon as they arrived at the Tao's house, they were hugged and sat by the fire by the Tao family's grandma.
It's just that the three children can't sit still, there are so many children in the Tao family, and they are all acquaintances, so they got up and ran to play before their butts got hot.
Ning Ze, on the other hand, warmed up with the Tao family and told them about going to his house for dinner today. Tao Qing is already making preparations.
The Tao family's aunt did not refuse, but said, "I have prepared some at home, and they won't last long, so I just took them and let Qingzi cook together."
Ning Ze nodded, "Okay, ah, why don't you just go there now, so you don't have to go. There is also a fire in the room over there, so it's warm."
The Tao family's aunt stood up, "Let your father and the others go first, I will go to the field to pick some vegetables, your family doesn't grow any vegetables, so many people want to eat, less is not enough."
How could Ning Ze dare to let the Tao family go? It's such a cold day, what if it gets cold.
Ning Ze was busy reading, "Ah, I'll just go, your brother and father go there first, I'll go home after picking it."
Tao Anfu just tried to persuade the Tao family, "Ah, what Yao Ze said is right, you can't touch the cold ones casually, I will pick them, Yao Ze, you don't want to go, your elder brother and the others went to the river, you also Go and have a look, the children let them play with Lin Zi and the others, and we will take them there later."
It was only then that Ning Ze realized that when he came in, he didn't see any men from the Tao family, only the child and brother were at home.
Ning Ze couldn't help asking, "Brother, what are they going to do by the river? It's so cold by the Tianhe River!"
Tao Anfu said, "Isn't this going to see if we can get some fish? It's the Chinese New Year, and we must eat fish for the New Year's Eve dinner. We don't have fish at home, so we go to the river to catch them. Why did you forget something?"
Ning Ze scratched his head, avoiding Tao Anfu's gaze, and almost lost his way again. He explained with a smile, "I just didn't expect this year to be so early. It's only the eighth day of the lunar new year. Isn't it a bit early?"
"Hey, this year's weather, if you don't prepare earlier, you may not know how cold it will be. Now I'm just going to see it, and I haven't decided how to catch it. It's too cold this year, so I definitely can't go into the water."
Ning Ze was silent. In the past, feelings were caught in the water. This is amazing. You can still go in the water in winter. Aren't you afraid of something wrong with the freezing?
But Ning Ze didn't ask, because he was afraid of saying something wrong again.
Ning Ze nodded to show that he knew, and then said, "Then I'll go to the riverside to see big brother and them first, big brother, when you take my three little guys over later, see if they have a puppy in their arms , I'm afraid they'll be left behind."
Tao Anfu nodded, "Okay, I will pay attention, you go, be careful, it's cold, don't touch the water."
"Okay, big brother, I'll go first."
"Go!"
When Ning Ze arrived at the river, he found that there were many people by the river, many of them were holding fishing nets and casting the net casually, and there was a small boat in the middle of the river with two people standing on it, which Ning Ze was not familiar with.
After Ning Ze greeted the people he knew, he went to Tao An and the others.
The Tao family, father and son, stood on the edge and watched the movement on the river.
Ning Ze went over and called people one by one, "Daddy, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, you are all here!"
The father and son turned their heads together, Tao An asked Ning Ze, "Yao Ze, why are you here?"
Ning Ze said, "I was going to ask you to come to my house for dinner today, but my elder brother said that you are by the river and asked me to come and have a look, so I came here."
Tao An said, "What's so interesting about this is that we didn't call you because we just came out to see it today. It's too cold this year, and we didn't even see the shadow of the fish."
Is there any fish in the cold?Ning Ze couldn't believe it. It's not so easy for fish to freeze to death, not to mention that it hasn't frozen yet. Although the wind is colder, the river is not frozen, which means that the temperature is still above zero.
Ning Ze thought for a while and said, "Brother, have you looked around here? Didn't you see a single fish?"
Tao An shook his head, "That's not true. I just looked at this section. There are only a few small fish in one net, but no big ones. In previous years, a few nets would be enough for the whole village to eat for the New Year."
Ning Ze looked at the fishing nets and buckets on the side, they were all empty, nothing.
But it's not surprising, after all, it's just one place.
Ning Ze said, "Brother, why don't you look elsewhere? You can't find it even after wandering around here!"
Tao An explained, "This area is where fishing was done in previous years. The depth of water in this area has the most fish."
Ning Zexin said that if he stays in the same place every year, the fish must have learned to be smart and won't come here anymore.
But Ning Ze didn't say this. If these people really want to fish, they will think of this sooner or later. He just came to watch the fun.
But it didn't take long to watch the excitement. Today in Laba, everyone had to go back for dinner at noon, so when they really couldn't see the fish, they all turned their heads and went back.
Ning Ze and Tao's father and son also left and went directly to his house.
This year is a bumper harvest year, no one in the village will go hungry, at most the food is poor, so this year should be a good year.
Arriving at the door of Ningze's house, I heard the laughter of the children and the barking of the puppy in the yard before entering the door.
Although the little milk dog's voice was loud, it didn't sound aggressive at all. It sounded like playing, and no one was afraid.
When Ning Ze opened the door and entered, he realized that the group of children were playing games and running around in the yard. Even Douzi and Peanut were involved, and the little milk dog was running along their legs. Shouting, no wonder it is so lively.
As soon as Ning Ze entered, he rushed towards the three little guys in his family, and hugged all three children. Muzi, who was catching people, saw them being hugged, and immediately came to arrest them.
Dai Ningze didn't agree, he walked around with peanuts and beans in his arms, and ordered Putao to run away.
Seeing that he couldn't catch anyone, Muzi immediately panicked, "Uncle, you're lying!"
Ning Ze showed an innocent expression, "No, you are chasing us, of course we have to run, right? It counts only when you catch someone. Look, you didn't catch anyone."
"But you picked up the beans. I'm not that tall, so I can't catch them." Muzi complained.
Ning Ze said, "Muzi, you need to use your brain at this time. You have to find a way to catch them yourself. I think you can do it."
Muzi looked at Douzi and Peanut who were being hugged by Ning Ze, and then at Tao An and the others who were still standing in the yard. Muzi walked towards his father resolutely, stretched out his hand and said, "Daddy, hug."
Tao An looked at him with disgust, "You are so old that you still want to be hugged, you treat yourself as three years old!" Then he decisively rejected his request.
Muzi was even more sad, feeling like Tao An didn't like him.
But Muzi didn't give up, and turned to embrace the two uncles.
It was just the same cruel rejection.
Muzi suddenly became numb.
The other adults were completely watching the show.
Ning Ze laughed, put the two children down, and said in a low voice, "Go and hit Muzi brother quietly, and then run to me right away, okay?"
The two children nodded in unison, listened to Ning Ze's words, ran towards Muzi with short legs, hit Muzi a little, and then ran back immediately without making a sound.
When Muzi found out, Douzi and Peanut were already in Ningze's arms, Muzi ran over angrily, Ningze lifted him up again, making Muzi out of reach, Muzi was so angry that he almost jumped.
When everyone thought that Muzi was about to cry, a person suddenly jumped out from Ningze, hugged Ningze, and then shouted at Muzi, "Muzi, hurry up, I hugged him."
The person who hugged Ning Ze was none other than Lin Zi, and the brotherly love was immediately revealed.
Seeing that his younger brother hugged Ning Ze, Muzi didn't feel depressed at all, and went to hug Ning Ze, waving one hand to catch the two little guys that Ning Ze lifted.
Ning Ze put his hand down a little, let Muzi grab it, and when Muzi was about to reach it, he straightened his hand so that he couldn't catch it.
As a result, even though the two brothers hugged Ning Ze, they were still not caught.
In the end, Muzi wrapped himself around Ning Ze and didn't touch anyone.
The two children who were lifted up were laughing all the time, and the people around were watching.
Watch them fuss.
Ning Ze couldn't bear to hit the children too hard, he bent down and put the two children on the ground, and grabbed Muzi and Linzi with his backhand, preventing them from moving.
No matter how hard the two brothers struggled, they couldn't get away, and finally shouted that Ning Ze was being lazy, and Ning Ze teased them with an expression of what you can do to me.
He said it couldn't be bullied, and after playing, he still didn't let people catch the beans and peanuts, and was laughed at by a group of people.
Sure enough, what can't be bullied too hard is just talk.
The two brothers, who were hit hard, looked at Ning Ze and hummed.
Ning Ze spread his hands, his face full of innocence, you can't blame him for not being tall enough!
Tao Qing was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, and the ingredients for cooking Laba porridge were prepared the day before, and they can be cooked directly the next day.
But people from the Tao family are coming over today, so some dishes need to be prepared.
