Getting rich in chronology

The corn the Shen family grows is not the waxy corn or sweet corn that was specially bred later, but something in between.

The advantages may not be so prominent, but the fresh and tender corn just picked from the field is tender and sweet, which is not delicious. Put it into the pot with clear water and smell the unique sweetness of boiled corn. The fish has already moved its index finger. .

The boiled corn on the cob just out of the pot was hot, so the second aunt scooped up a scoop of cold water early, and threw the corn out of the pot into the cold water.

After cooling in this way, it will not be so hot, or it will be broken into two pieces, poked into the corn cob with chopsticks and eaten.

Take a bite, the juice is clear and sweet, and the tender corn kernels are still a bit crunchy, Chen Yu gnawed several in one go.

Seeing that he likes to eat, grandma is very happy: "Eat slowly, our family has a lot of corn. If you like it, milk will cook for you every day."

"Ang." Chen Yu responded first.

He can't eat it every day, and when he doesn't want to eat it, just say it, and his milk won't force him.

After eating, he wiped his mouth and didn't let him do anything. He said, "It's hot outside, go indoors and watch TV."

Hu Niu Baba followed: "Brother, let's still watch the one from yesterday."

Yesterday's monkey movie was really good. In the morning, she and her brother both wanted to watch TV, but grandma said that it would be too expensive to get out of the way!

"That should be released at night, not during the day."

He turned on the TV, it was the same station as yesterday, and it was showing commercials, and Hu Niu watched the commercials with great relish, and almost didn't put her eyes on it.

Chen Yu pulled her to sit back: "Don't get too close, it's bad for your eyes."

Huniu didn't understand why her eyes were bad, but she must have been right to listen to Brother Maoer's words, so she obediently moved the small stool and sat back a little.

After watching the commercial, Journey to the West still didn't play, Chen Yu tuned a few channels, but there were very few channels that he could receive, only a dozen in total, none of which he was interested in.

Looking out of the window, the sun is not too strong, and what's the matter with being locked in the house watching TV when I come to my hometown.

He said to Huniu: "I'm going out for a walk, are you here watching TV or are you with me?"

Huniu glanced at the new "movie" that she had just seen a little better, reluctant to let go, weighing the two, she still chose Chen Yu: "Together with you!"

The little girl patted her small chest: "Where do you want to go? I'll take you there. I know this village best!"

"Then take me where you think it's fun, I'm not familiar with it." Chen Yu was very calm.

Huniu thought for a while: "Want to go to the river? It's cool in the water!"

"My lord told you to go play by the river?" Chen Yu asked clearly first.

"You can go to the river ditch, but not to other places." Huniu said.

Chen Yu didn't quite understand, Hu Niu explained for a while, Chen Yu basically understood, the water there is shallow, the deepest part in the middle of the river is only up to an adult's knee, as long as it is not a very small child, there will be no problem.

"Let's go, just go to the river ditch."

In fact, Chen Yu didn't know what was so interesting about it, he just didn't want to stay at home and watch TV.

When Grandma Shen heard that they were going out to play, she didn't stop her, she quickly grabbed a straw hat and said, "Put it on quickly, don't let it dry out."

Her cat is so white and her skin is tender, not like the rough grandchildren at home.

Chen Yu put on a straw hat, which was strangely fresh. This kind of hat woven with wheat straw and used solely for sun protection is rare.

"Don't Huniu wear it?" Chen Yu glanced at her little cousin, she was still wearing the sandals she bought for Chen Yu in Xingcheng last summer, her mother specially chose a size up, and it fits right this year.

Small vest and shorts, hair cut short, like a solid boy.

"If you don't wear it, you'll be in trouble." Hu Niu straight away refused, took Chen Yu and ran away, it was already past ten o'clock, how long can you play, and slow things down.

"Don't take the cat to a dangerous place, if you don't obey me, come back and ask your father to beat you!" Grandma threatened loudly from behind.

Chen Yu couldn't stop laughing, it sounds like he is the child who needs to be taken care of.

The two of them were walking in the village, they were eye-catching, mainly because Chen Yu was too white, even if he got a little tanned in summer, his exposed arms and legs were already several shades paler than the others around him.

The villagers I met on the road, who didn't know Huniu, would be more or less easy to ask, and then took the opportunity to take a look at Chen Yu.

This is the golden lump of the Shen family, Fenghuang'er, who in the village is not curious, but when they meet, they can chat and laugh with Hu Niu casually, and with Chen Yu, no one dares to ask a question.

Chen Yu followed Huniu to call, anyway, the two of them were of the same generation, Huniu called Grandpa and he called him Grandpa, and Huniu called Aunt and he also called Auntie.

Hearing Chen Yu's polite call, the villagers were quite flattered, and when they passed by, they mentioned Chen Yu to others, and they couldn't help boasting: "No wonder this kid is promising, and he doesn't look down on others at all."

They didn't dare to go to Chen Yu's side, not because they were afraid of being rejected, but now there are some city people who look down on country people, go to the supply and marketing agency to buy things, and wear shabby clothes, and they will get a few more supercilious looks.

If Chen Yu knew what they were thinking, he would tell them that the service staff who only looked up would not be able to survive in this industry in the future.

Among other things, even the salespersons in department stores have a much better attitude now.

He met not only adults but also little dolls on the road, what Chen Yu didn't expect was that he thought those were Huniu's friends, but the leading boy rushed up and shouted: "King!"

Chen Yu: "..."

"Don't call me king—"

When Chen Yuxin mentioned it, he felt that this sentence sounded familiar.

"What's that called?" the boy, who was a head taller than Huniu, asked in confusion.

"Call me Senior Brother!" Huniu gave him a white look: "Didn't you watch the movie that was shown at my house yesterday? Senior Senior Brother is the most powerful!"

Chen Yu: "..."

The boy scratched his head: "I came late yesterday, so I didn't squeeze in."

"I watched it, I watched it!" Other children actively raised their hands: "The movie of Da Wang's family is so good, madam... so good!"

This baby is not stuttering, she just wants to express how good-looking she is.

"I watched it too! It's amazing, the best movie ever!"

"I didn't like it, can I still watch it today?"

"Ask the king..."

Huniu was not happy: "I told you not to call me Dawang, and from now on you will call me Big Brother."

The children changed their words obediently: "Big brother!"

"I also want to be a senior brother."

"I want, too!"

A group of little dolls, only two or three have read Journey to the West after finishing it, but one of them wants to join in the fun.

"You are not allowed to rob, the king is the senior brother, then I am the second senior brother!" The boy who rushed over first forced the other friends.

"You really want to be the second senior brother?" Huniu found it difficult to understand, that pig demon was so ugly, timid, and not very strong, and would call him senior brother whenever something happened, why would anyone want to be the second senior brother.

"I want to be!" the boy said loudly, he felt that although he couldn't beat Huniu, everyone else couldn't beat him, so he should be the second senior brother.

I didn't expect this before, when Huniu was the king, he should be the second king!

"Okay, Shitou will be the second senior brother from now on." Although she didn't understand, Huniu was willing to respect her friend's choice.

The other children, especially those who watched TV last night, also respected his choice.

None of them wanted to be the second senior brother, and being a white dragon horse was better than being the second senior brother, so could Junior Brother Sha, how strong Junior Brother Sha was!

Hu Niu tiptoed and patted Shi Shi on the shoulder: "If anything happens in the future, you can call Senior Brother, and I will come to rescue you."

Shi Shi nodded because he didn't know. Did he ever need Hu Niu to save him?Among the children of the same age in the village, only Huniu can beat him. If an adult beats him, it is useless for him to call him big brother.

"My lord, no, big brother, can I watch a movie today too?" I just heard those who watched TV blow it in the morning, and they all said how good it was. Shitou regretted it. He shouldn't be greedy for the last bowl of the pot last night. Meal, nothing catch up.

"Then ask my brother Mao'er." Hu Niu pointed to her side, she understood that no one in the family could talk to her brother Mao'er.

At a time like this, a competent elder brother must of course support his younger sister.

As long as Huniu don't compare too much, for example, in a video I watched before, two children yelled at each other, and one said: "My brother dares to eat shit!"

Another followed suit: "My brother dares too!"

Her brother shouted upstairs: "I dare not!"

Chen Yu didn't have any girls at the time, but after looking at the picture Yile, there are so many cousins ​​now, if anyone says her brother dares to eat shit, there are so many brothers on top, anyway, he dare not.

Compared to eating shit, watching TV is really a trivial matter.

Chen Yu waved his hand: "Look, I will tune Journey to the West for you tonight, as long as the TV station broadcasts it."

The rest of the children rushed forward: "Brother, can we watch it? We want to watch it too!"

Huniu was very worried, her house was so small, how could it accommodate so many people.

But it's all her little brother, so it's not good to let this one see and not that other.

She looked at Chen Yu for help, and Chen Yu thought it was not a big deal: "Move the TV to the yard tonight, let's watch it together."

In summer, it's really boring to have so many people crowded in one room.

"It will be stolen!" Hu Niu still remembered what her grandma said last night.

"No, we'll move back after watching it." Chen Yu said.

Huniu thought it was okay, raised her chin, and said proudly: "Did you hear that? My brother Maoer said that anyone can come to my house to watch TV."

The children cheered immediately: "Oh, you can watch TV!"

Hu Niu looked at Chen Yu, she became a big brother, and she had to arrange a position for her brother.

The little girl pulled Chen Yu's hand: "Brother, do you want to be a master?"

Chen Yu: "?"

What the hell?

The more Huniu thought about it, the more she felt that this arrangement was very good: "You are all white, you are good-looking, and you can't be beaten. You will be spotted by the female fairy and tied back to get married. I can protect you and snatch you back!"

"We can too, we can protect Eldest Senior Brother's elder brother!"

Chen Yu: "..."

What is going on in children's minds now!

"Thank you, no need." Chen Yu resolutely rejected the little cousin's kindness, and couldn't figure it out. Although he is not particularly strong, it is not a problem to hit a few ordinary men. Why is he so weak in the little cousin's heart? , needs her a waist-high doll to protect her.

But he couldn't beat people in front of the children to show his force, he couldn't speak clearly, and with the support of all the children, he went to Xiaohegou in a mighty way.

This is probably a paradise for the children of the village. When they arrived, there were already many children playing here.

There are also teenagers in their teens who are flopping and touching fish in the water. If they can catch a small fish as long as a palm, they will elicit a burst of cheers.

Seeing a group of children leading Chen Yu over, the older children were just like the villagers they met on the road, watching from a distance and not approaching.

But there are children who are familiar with Huniu and her juniors, so they come over to talk to them.

Hu Niu was shouldering the important task of taking care of her "weak" brother, so she ran to play by herself without spoiling her, and asked Chen Yu first: "What do you want to play?"

"What can I play?"

"The water here is shallow, so you can't swim." Hu Niu curled her lips. In fact, she knew how to swim a long time ago. Her father taught her to hide it from her mother and grandma.

"You can catch fish. If you catch a big fish, you can take it home and cook it." Hu Niu said.

"I can teach you how to swim, and I am the best at swimming!" Anyway, Shitou mustered up his courage and said a few words along the way just now.

He started, and the other children offered their own suggestions: "Build houses! I know where the mud works."

"Are you touching a loach? Last time I caught a loach that was so——big."

"It's not easy to catch loaches during the day." Shito retorted loudly.

"You can catch crickets!" another child said.

"What is a cricket?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

"A cricket is a cricket!"

Chen Yu: "..."

"Are you stupid? My brother has never seen a crayfish!" Hu Niu rolled her eyes and shouted, "Chun Hong, show me your brother's crayfish!"

A few meters away, a little girl similar to Huniu walked over leading her younger brother.

The little brother was holding a grass stalk as a rope in his hand, dragged it over, and tied a small thing at one end.

"Crayfish!" Chen Yu was a little dumbfounded when he saw the half-dead crayfish that was still waving its pincers.

This is the lagu, and it is quite big.

"What is a crayfish?" Huniu asked.

"It's another name for la crayfish." Chen Yu's eyes were shining, what would he think of when he saw a crayfish, of course it was a spicy crayfish!

It is fortunate that it grows such a big head, if it does not cook better, I am sorry for the meat it has worked so hard to grow.

"Do you want to play with this?" Huniu felt that her brother Mao'er was pitiful, he had never played with a cricket, and she stopped arguing for her brother to catch a cricket when she was four years old.

"I'll grab a big one for you, you have to be careful not to pinch your hands." The little girl also warned very carefully, not knowing how weak her brother is in her mind.

Chen Yu: "... Isn't this for eating?"

It's too miserable, it turned into a child's toy, dragged around.

"This is not tasty!" Hu Niu said hastily.

Her little friends echoed: "Yes, the hard ones are all shells, no meat."

"It's tasteless. I stole the salt from home and roasted it together. It doesn't taste good at all, it's bitter!"

Everyone made a voice condemning the bad taste of the crayfish, and Chen Yu felt wronged for it.

"That's because you guys haven't found a suitable cooking method." Chen Yu was in high spirits: "Hu Niu, let's catch more crayfish and go back, brother will cook something delicious for you."

With Hu Niu's vocabulary, she couldn't understand the meaning of cooking, but she could understand the last sentence. Her brother Mao'er said that delicious food must be super delicious!

"Okay!" Hu Niu waved her hand: "Little ones, go, catch crayfish with me!"

The children swarmed to keep up. Originally, they came to Xiaohegou to play without purpose. Catching fish was for fun, playing with mud houses, and catching crickets was also for fun.

The boss said that he wanted to catch the crayfish, so a group of children went to catch it together.

Chen Yu chased after him: "I'll help too."

Hu Niu waved her hand: "You find a cool place to stay, and I'll catch a cricket for you to play with first."

Chen Yu: "..."

No matter how these words sound, it's cool to stay.

He followed resolutely, he would rather be among the children touching crayfish than just sit and do nothing, holding hands and waiting for the children to catch him.

Hu Niu couldn't resist him, so she took Chen Yu with her and went down the river to fish for shrimps based on her past experience.

If these children are to talk about it, they may not be able to explain it clearly, but they know in their hearts where there are many crayfish and how to catch them.

Chen Yu observed for a while, and found that where there are many aquatic plants, there are also many crayfish.

But there are also under the rocks. Huniu just moved a rock and caught a very big shrimp. The sunken fish is estimated to weigh three or four.

These children are very picky, they don't care much about them when they are young, and they throw them back when they catch them.

Chen Yu saw that the shrimp was still small, there must be one or two, right?

The sunken fish is not too small, and the "small" shrimp is also required, so there are more.

Probably because there are few people who eat crayfish now, crayfish have strong reproductive ability, grow wantonly, and are especially easy to catch. Even a novice, Chen Yu, caught more than a dozen of them in a short time.

They didn't have a container for crayfish, and the fish was about to go home to get it, but a boy suddenly walked by among the older children who were fishing a long way away.

Carrying a bucket with half a bucket of crayfish in it, he put it down and left without saying a word.

Chen Yu couldn't figure out the interpersonal relationship in the village, so she asked Hu Niu, "Who is he?"

Hu Niu blinked: "It's Sanmao's elder brother."

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing what Hu Niu meant.

The wives of Uncle Guan in the local area are all called grandma. Uncle Huniu is Shen Yu’s father. Of course, the third grandma cannot be Liang Fengxia, but his stepmother Zhang Guizhi.

Chen Yu already knew that Zhang Guizhi brought her ex-husband's children to marry, but he didn't see her yesterday, and he didn't ask specifically, he didn't expect to meet here.

In his father's letter, he once wrote about his stepmother's three children. The eldest is Dong Dazhi, who is one year older than Chen Yu and already twenty.

Dong Dazhi actually didn't live in the Shen family. Zhang Guizhi married over two years ago. He just turned eighteen, and he is considered an adult in the countryside. He was ashamed to live in his stepfather's house. He rented a few acres of land in the village and farmed it himself.

The second child, Dong Erya, Shen Yu just started to arrange job recruitment last year, and she was the first batch to get in. Before Chen Yu went to Mingzhu City to meet the second aunt and the others, this girl was also there.

It may be because of the scruples about her identity, or it may be because of her personality, she mixed in the crowd and didn't say much, Shen Yu also gave her a share of the things, and she didn't exclude her on purpose.

Judging by age, this should be Dong Sanlin, the third child, who should be fourteen this year.

"Do we want this shrimp?" Although Huniu is not yet nine years old, she has also seen men in the village remarry, and the children of the former wife and the children behind cannot get along. Uncle Niu's house at the entrance of the village is the most typical example.

"Yes, why not." Chen Yu also threw the shrimp he caught into the bucket.

Stepmother Zhang Guizhi looks pretty good, and lives with his father in a serious manner. He has no reason to pick on others, at least he is much better than Liang Fengxia.

Although he is not familiar with the three children brought over, Dong Sanlin gave him lobsters, so it should be considered a good sign.

There was no conflict at first, and Chen Yu was willing to get along well if he could get along well, and if he showed his kindness, he continued.

There was a group of children fighting, and later even other children who were playing around joined in the fun to help catch shrimps, and the bucket of sinking fish was almost full.

The crayfish above kept crawling out, Chen Yu picked up a small stick and poked it in, but his poking was not as fast as crawling, chasing and intercepting, and the crayfish escaped successfully.

"Let's go, stop catching, go home first." There are so many crayfish, and they can't be cooked in one pot when we go back.

Throwing in a big lobster that she just caught, Hu Niu clapped her hands and said, "I can still catch a lot more."

"Come again next time." How can one meal of crayfish be enough? There must be many meals.

Chen Yu walks back with a bucket full of crayfish, dropping crayfish as he walks, he has no way to prevent them from escaping, so he can just do whatever he wants... When the ones above run away, the ones below will not be able to climb up, and can only be caught. He ate the spicy five-spice braised.

Hu Niu and a group of friends followed behind to pick them up, and threw them back into the bucket when they found them. They are not used to guys who escaped from prison.

When I walked to the door of my house, my grandma saw him carrying a bucket, and she called out first: "Why don't you ask someone to help you carry it, such a big bucket!"

Chen Yu felt that in the eyes of the Shen family, he had a weak buff, and everyone felt that he was powerless.

"Grandma, it's not heavy, it's just a little way."

"What is this...how did you catch so many crickets?"

Huniu looked excited: "Brother Maoer said that cricket crickets can be made into delicious food!"

"You just know how to eat!" Grandma Shen said angrily

"Grandma, I want to eat too." Chen Yu found that the more straightforward he asked, the happier his grandma was, so he had nothing to say.

"Hey, what do you think, I'll make it for you!" Grandma Shen, like Hu Niu, firmly believed that if her cat said that a cricket with shells and nothing to eat could be delicious, then it would definitely be delicious.

"I... I'll do it first, you guys have a look." If he said to do it by himself, maybe his grandma would stop him again.

"What's wrong with this, do you need to wash it first?" Grandma Shen naturally knew that the crayfish had holes in the mud, so they were not covered in mud, so they couldn't eat without washing.

"Add some salt and vinegar to the water, soak it first, and let them spit out mud." Chen Yu has never caught shrimp before, but he has handled a lot. Given his previous economic conditions, if he wants to eat crayfish, it is natural. It's cheaper to do it yourself.

Before cooking, you have to put seasoning and wash it first, and the loss is the fish, and you will be scolded if you change it.

Without Grandma Shen's instructions, the two aunts at home have already gone to get big pots to divide the crayfish. Otherwise, what to do with such a full bucket, Hu Niu is still catching escaped shrimp and throwing them in.

It was already late when they came back, the prawns were soaking and spitting mud, there was nothing to see, Chen Yu wanted to share some candy with the children, but it was too hot, so he only brought a little candy with him, which he planned to give to Huniu Yes, but the little girl lost her teeth, so she didn't give it.

So a little bit, so many children are not enough for one person.

The children didn't take it seriously to help Chen Yu catch shrimps, they just played, and now there was a new activity, they ran to the concrete field outside Shen's house to play "What time is it, old wolf, old wolf".

Until the sound of calling names and eating from each house sounded, the children listened to the shouts of their parents, scattered and went back to their respective houses.
