Village Flowers and Female Scholars

Today is the day for Lao Zhangtou to catch rice flower fish, Xie Yan woke up very early.

At the same time, today is also the day Xie Yuangu starts school.

In this era, there are three school start times a year. The first time is in the first month, learning enlightenment books; the second time is in late summer and early autumn, and the third time is in November. Enroll in school.

Now it's time for the second entrance, Xie Yuangu also woke up early, his mother sewed him a book bag, sister Xiucai gave him pens, ink, paper and inkstone, he dressed neatly and urged his mother to go out quickly.

"It's still dark outside, and the master hasn't arrived even after you've arrived, and the school is closed. Are you going to sit at the door?"

"Yesterday, I made an agreement with Huniu that the two of us will arrive at the school first."

"Then you have to fill your stomach first. Reading is the most brain-intensive, and you get hungry quickly. You have to finish this pancake."

Xie Yuangu was startled when he saw the pancakes that were bigger than his own two faces; "Mother, how can I eat and play with such big pancakes, I only need half and half."

Xie Yan just finished washing, took the big pancake and tore it in half and said, "It's done, I'll eat half, and mother will fry a smaller one. Later, Wanwan and I will go fishing in Uncle Zhang's field, and give her one."

Cao E had thought of this a long time ago, and fried two big pancakes in a row, saying, "Give one to Wanwan and one to Granny Yu."

When Xie Yan saw two pancakes as big as the bottom of the basin, she didn't feel disgusted, wrapped them in oiled paper and put them in her arms and went out.

As soon as I went out, I met Zhuang Wan at the intersection, and I saw her tall and straight in a moon-white long gown, behind her was the golden morning glow, which was so beautiful, I couldn't bear to look away after just one glance,

Xie Yan grinned and handed the pancake over, "My mother fried it, let me bring one for your milk."

Zhuang Wan opened the oiled paper and her face froze when she saw such a big pancake. She would have to eat such a big pancake for several meals, but she obediently turned around and gave the pancake to Granny Yu before coming out.

When they arrived at the old Zhangtou's field, many people in the village who planned to adopt the rice field and fish farming model came to watch. Cai Chu has a good relationship with Lao Zhangtou, and he followed him to drain the water last night, and now it is early in the morning. Followed to fish.

After Cao E sent Xie Yuangu to school in the morning, she went straight to work cooking noodles in the restaurant, and Gao Shi also came to watch the fun on her vacation today.

The day before yesterday, Xie Yan’s family’s fish Cai Chu took it back, and the whole family with my brother-in-law couldn’t get enough of it. They only thought that the delicious fish meat was unforgettable, so they came to the field early to wait for the fish to be caught.

Seeing Xie Yan and the two coming over, he waved at them.

Xie Yan ran over with a smile and said, "Aunt Gao is resting today."

The attendance in the store is all arranged by Gao Shi, and Xie Yan didn't bother with these trivial matters. Only when she saw her here did she know that she had a rest today.

"No, I missed fishing rice flower fish at your house the day before yesterday, so I have to come and see what I say today."

Seeing the excitement on her face, Xie Yan asked, "How about it, do you want to plant it next year?"

"I just told my family last night that this year we will harvest two acres of land and return it for planting, not just for the fish. You see, the rice grows better than others after raising the fish. After simply putting the fish in You don’t need to worry about taking care of it, you can harvest four to five hundred catties of fish even if you don’t sell it for two acres, and you can save a lot of money to buy meat if you keep it for your own rations.”

Sure enough, as long as there is a way, hardworking people know how to find a way to survive, Xie Yan is quite relieved.

Gao said again: "Wan'er just talked to my family about renting out the land just yesterday. I went to the store to talk about it today, and Sister Hua said that their family wants to plant it."

Zhuang Wan was stunned when she heard that, and said: "Aren't Uncle Gen and Brother Genzi in poor health, and eight mu of land is not a small amount."

"The Zhao family rented the land that their family rented before, and you don't know it. The previous root disease is not a serious disease. It's just that there is no money and it has been dragged on, so it has become a weak disease. Didn't Miss Hua come to our shop? For work, the salary is nearly one or two a month, and the family can afford the medicine to treat the disease. It seems that the root is a different person now, just a little thinner, but it is much tougher than before, just make up for it."

Xie Yan probably knew about Genzi's condition. Aunt Hua told everyone in the shop from time to time that her mother would tell her about these things when she came back.

It's just that it's unexpected that the disease can be cured, and I feel a little surprised.

Gao said: "The doctor said that working in the fields is not a big deal now. Huniu is also being sent to school, and Gouwa will be able to go there next year. Although Lao Gentou's legs and feet are not good, he can do some light work. , Genzi’s daughter-in-law is an upright adult, and Aunt Hua can’t relax even after returning from work, so the two acres of land at home are not enough for them to grow.”

Only then did Zhuang Wan feel relieved and said: "Yesterday Auntie E said that she would plant three acres, and there are seven acres left, one acre less than what she said before, and it seems that their family's manpower is about the same amount, no matter how much they can be busy. "

Gao agreed: "Then tomorrow I will go to the restaurant and talk to my sister-in-law."

A few people were chatting when they heard someone shouting: "The fish is coming—"

I saw the old Zhangtou, his father and son at the drain, and Cai Chu had already started catching fish and putting them into the bucket one by one.

Looking at the fish jumping around in the bucket, the wife of the old Zhangtou couldn't close her mouth with a smile, and together with several daughters-in-law, they lifted the wooden buckets containing the fish to the edge of the field one by one. Under the joint operation of the strong man, the fish were caught quickly.

The old Zhangtou picked up the scales and weighed them bucket by bucket, and said to Xie Yan cheerfully: "Girl Jin, old man, I build houses all the year round, and I move things up and down. The fish in your house was also handled by me the day before yesterday." , if nothing else happens, my fish will definitely be heavier than yours."

Xie Yan smiled, and she wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. After all, since Lao Zhangtou raised fish in the field, he was extremely careful, and wanted to prove that it was the right decision for him to follow Xie Jinniang. Take a look at Tian Bian, if there are any birds or snakes, drive them away in time.

On Xie Yan's side, when the fry are thrown into the field, they don't go to see them unless it rains heavily or during the dry season.

Sure enough, after weighing it, it was 280 catties in total, more than 30 catties more than what Xie Yan collected two days ago.

The onlookers were all amazed, Gao smiled and said, "Miss Jin, are you being lazy, the apprentice has done a better job than the master, it seems that you, the master, are going to starve to death."

Xie Yan quickly waved his hands and said, "Fish farming in rice fields doesn't require any skills at all, as long as you follow the method I taught you to raise fry. If you grow fish, you will be able to do better than me."

The rest of the villagers who were ready to move were finally relieved at this time. Since Lao Zhangtou can raise more than 280 catties of fish, he must be short of two hundred catties.

Old Zhangtou was not generous enough to give away all the fish to others like Xie Yan. Except for Xie Yan and Cai Chu who each took five catties, the rest moved home and called everyone to his house for dinner. .

Xie Yan saw that a group of people were making a fuss and wanted to eat wine, so she declined the invitation, and took Zhuang Wan with the fish and went home.

Cao E went to work in the store, and Xie Yan put the fish in the water to raise, and in the evening, he called Granny Yu over to process it for dinner.

But who would have guessed that guests would come in the evening when they were preparing to cook, and I saw Mrs. Hua leading Hu Niu with one hand and Gou Wa into the yard, followed by two young couples, Genzi, a hale and hearty old Gentou, smoking a dry cigarette follow behind.

Zhuang Wan was sitting in the yard and Xie Yuangu was reviewing the homework Mrs. Zhao taught during the day. Yu Po and Cao E were picking pumpkin seedlings at the door of the kitchen. They were surprised to see Mrs. Hua and her family carrying several things to visit. .

Fortunately, the fish was not cooked yet, Xie Yan heard the sound and ran out of the kitchen, saw a large family coming to the door with presents, she probably understood what was going on, and asked Cao E to invite them to sit down.

Aunt Hua said with some embarrassment: "Girl Jin, I came here suddenly today. I actually came here to thank you. Since you opened this restaurant, you have not only bought rice from us, but also found a job for the old lady. Before that, Lend us the money, if it weren't for you, we don't know when our family will get better... Now that Gen's body is getting better, and the family bought a cow, although life is still a bit tight, it is considered a good start. It’s all thanks to you that this day can get better, so you brought some chickens and ducks raised at home, don’t hold it against you.”

Xie Yan is so old, no one has come to thank her with such a big fanfare, or before she came here, apart from studying her own work, she really didn't do anything for others. Zi came to thank her, which made her a little embarrassed but extremely moved.

Blushing and waving his hands, he said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. Don't be too polite, aunt and uncle. We help each other in a village. Besides, you also helped our family when you went to work in the restaurant. This is not my credit."

"Girl, you don't know how many people are rushing to do that job."

"Okay, okay, don't be too polite, ma'am, take the chickens and ducks back, Gouwa and Huniu are growing up, brother Genzi also wants to mend, I will leave the bamboo basket made by uncle and brother Genzi , These few are very beautifully done, I like it very much.”

Genzi and his daughter-in-law Chunhua smiled shyly and said, "I just made it according to the style your girls like."

When Aunt Hua saw that Xie Yan would not accept chickens, ducks and other local goods, she would not give in. She caught two chickens and ducks and put them in the chicken cage.

Yu Po looked at it for a long time and said with a smile: "Xiao Jin'er just accept it, if you refuse the aunt's wish, then she will be very sad."

Having said that, Xie Yan had no choice but to let his mother accept it.

Cao E carried the chickens and ducks, not to mention how happy she was. After so many years, their mothers have survived. The restaurant is now operating stably, and the monthly income has never made her so happy. After all, she is now well-fed and well-fed. There is nothing dissatisfied, but Jin'er is a young girl, and now she is more and more respected by the village, and she has a bright face as a mother.

Cao E happily went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, and everyone chatted in the yard.

Xie Yuangu went to school with Huniu during the day, and the two played together with Gouwa.

Granny Yu is talkative, just chatting with Mrs. Hua, and Lao Gentou occasionally interjects.

It's just that Genzi and his daughter-in-law Xiao Lin were a little uncomfortable, Xie Yan hurriedly moved a large basket of garlic, and asked them to sit down and peel it together, and then took it to the powder shop for use.

The young couple were not so shy when they had something to do, Zhuang Wan also joined the garlic peeling team when she saw this, and chatted about the matters in the field with her own body.

In fact, when Genzi entered the door, Xie Yan could tell that the young man was exuding vitality and his eyes were bright. Although he was a little thinner, his arms and legs were not as bamboo poles as he had seen before. Now his elbows are bulging, Much more energetic.

Seeing Xie Yan was really happy for their family.
