Zhang Zhenyong came back from school and found that there were fresh fruits at home.

"Big Brother" Zhang Zhenyong bit a peach and asked, "Did you go up the mountain today?"

"That's right," Zhang Wuliang said very frightenedly. He now has a sense of superiority that you can go to school but I can play: "I plan to go fishing in the water later."

Zhang Zhenyong choked, turned around and ignored him.

It doesn't matter, Zhang Zhenyong patted his injured little heart: "We will be in Xiumu in a few days, and I will also call the tiger cub to go up the mountain and down the river."

"Little Stone" Chen Xiaonian came out of the kitchen: "Stop eating peaches, it's time to eat."

"Oh." Zhang Zhenyong obediently put down the half-eaten peach in his hand, and went to help serve the dishes.

At the dinner table, Zhang Wuliang still felt that the excitement was not enough, so he invited Chen Xiaonian to fish in Xiaohegou in the afternoon in front of Zhang Zhenyong.

"Will it go? Can you touch it?" Chen Xiaonian asked with some doubts.

Zhang Wuliang doesn't care: "It doesn't matter if it can be touched, anyway, we are just going to have fun, and we can't live up to this wonderful spring."

After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Zhang Zhenyong: "Really?"

Zhang Zhenyong: ...

Zhang Zhenyong poked the bottom of the bowl, he felt a little stomachache.

Chen Xiaonian didn't notice the dark waves between them, so he nodded in agreement after hearing Zhang Wuliang's intention.

Zhang Wuliang made a final decision: "Let's go when the sun goes down."

After taking a nap, Zhang Zhenyong went out under Zhang Wuliang's sympathetic gaze.

"Stone, here" was stopped by Zhang Xiaohu when passing by Zhao Lizhi's house.

Zhang Xiaohu jumped in front of him from the stone dam.

Zhang Zhenyong threw the peach in his hand to him.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xiaohu asked while playing with Taozi, "I have a droopy face."

Zhang Zhenyong explained the matter.Zhang Xiaohu was silent...

Zhang Zhenyong still finds it hard to understand: "What do you think about my elder brother? Why didn't you find him so, so..." Zhang Zhenyong didn't know how to describe it.

"Disgusting?" Zhang Xiaohu continued.

Zhang Zhenyong was silent, although it is not good to say that big brother, but...

There is indeed a little bit, just a little bit, which is not flattering.

"Uh..." Zhang Xiaohu thought for a while, "Maybe it's because you didn't have to go to private school before?"

Zhang Xiaohu thought it was really possible: "You didn't want to go anywhere before, and your elder brother couldn't show off anything. Now you have to go to private school every day except when you are sleeping, and your elder brother's advantages are revealed. chant."

Zhang Zhenyong thought for a moment: "So it's not my elder brother who has changed, but us?"

Zhang Xiaohu waved his hand: "Why do you think so much? You want to pick fruit, and we can go together when we go to rest next time."

"Then it's settled," Zhang Zhenyong said, "We'll go as soon as we rest."

——Daily spacer for small couples——

"Xiao Nian!" Zhang Wuliang was wearing straw sandals, holding a bucket in one hand and a dustpan in the other, and called Chen Xiaonian, "Come out, we're leaving. If we don't leave, the sun will go down."

"Coming!" Chen Xiaonian came out of the room wearing straw sandals: "I'm ready, let's go!"

Taohe Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on the other. The Taoqian River facing it has a wide surface and deep water. Occasionally, there will be fishing boats walking on the river. , they were going to a small river next to the rice fields.

The widest part of the small river is only about two meters. The water is just above the knees, and the current is not too fast. It is a good place for fishing.

Before reaching the small river, I saw Zhang Wuliang and Chen Xiaonian squatting on the path among the rice fields, fishing for something.

"Brother Zhang" Chen Xiaonian said, "Is this okay?"

"Yes." Zhang Wuliang glanced at it, pointed to the smaller ones and said, "I don't want the ones that are so small, we can take the rest back and pick out the meat to fry."

"Okay." Chen Xiaonian picked up a few more, looked at the front and said, "There are still a few over there, let's go there and get some."

After picking up a few here, there are a few more over there.

"I didn't expect there to be so many snails in the field?" Zhang Wuliang sighed, looking at the snails that covered the bottom of the bucket.

Chen Xiaonian nodded: "This year, all the children in the village have gone to private schools, and there is no time to touch them, so there are only so many left."

Zhang Wuliang smiled: "That's a coincidence for us, why don't we grab some more and let Xiaoshi taste it."

"Okay" Chen Xiaonian did not appreciate Zhang Wuliang's careful thinking, and readily agreed.

In just half an hour, the two touched half a barrel of snails. Zhang Wuliang turned upside down and gave Chen Xiaonian a look: "Is it almost enough to fry a plate?"

"En." Chen Xiaonian took a look: "Four people should be enough."

"Then let's go catch fish." Zhang Wuliang stood up with the bucket in his hands, and naturally reached out his hand to Chen Xiaonian.

Chen Xiaonian smiled sweetly at him, stood up holding his hand, and the two of them walked across the field hand in hand, their postures were awkward but comfortable.

Zhang Wuliang walked up the path along the river for a while, and found a river bend with relatively deep water, where there was a small earth dam left by fishing.

"That's it." Zhang Wuliang put the bucket aside, and Chen Xiaonian tacitly put down the dustpan and began to roll up his trouser legs.

The two men raised the previous earth dam with stones, and placed the dustpan they brought in the earth dam by the way.

Zhang Wuliang saw that he was almost ready, so he took Chen Xiaonian's hand.While speaking, eyebrows and eyes raised, and his tone was brisk: "Come on, let's go up and catch fish."

"Okay" Chen Xiaonian was also in a great mood. He hadn't come to touch fish for several years, so he had to step up to the water.

"Hey" was stopped by Zhang Wuliang: "Let's go from the shore."

Chen Xiaonian thinks they are all the same, but since Big Brother Zhang has brought it up, then: "Okay..."

Zhang Wuliang's heart sank, he couldn't resist Chen Xiaonian's obedient appearance.

The two went ashore, walked up for a while, and found a place to go down into the small river. They used their hands and feet together to make a lot of movement, driving the fish downstream, and finally gathered them slowly to the place where the dustpan was placed.

Zhang Wuliang quickly lifted the dustpan with its mouth upwards, and saw a few small fish lying on the bottom of the dustpan with their silvery white bellies turned over.

Zhang Wuliang pinched his tail and lifted one: "So small? Can it be eaten?"

"This small one can be fried and eaten." Chen Xiaonian is very good at it: "The bigger one can be kept for cooking fish soup."

"Okay." Now that he got an affirmative answer, Zhang Wuliang restrained himself from throwing the fish back into the river, and chose to pour them into the bucket.

"It's a bit small." Zhang Wuliang looked at the few fish and said, "Let's fish a few more times, we have to make up a bowl, right?"

"Of course." Chen Xiaonian nodded, "it happens to be still early."

The two went back and forth several times, and finally got enough of a bowl of fried fish and a bowl of fish soup. When the work was over, Zhang Wuliang looked at the burning clouds in the distance, and the sun slowly sinking to the west. Let's do it again."

"Okay." Looking at him, Chen Xiaonian replied with a smile on his face.

This time, Zhang Wuliang and Zhang Zhenyong arrived home together. Zhang Zhenyong looked at the snails and small river fish they brought back very curiously: "Did you catch so many in just one afternoon?"

"Yes." Zhang Wuliang came out with a bowl and a bench, and said with emotion in his tone, "There are fewer fish this year."

Zhang Zhenyong's heart skipped a beat, he had a premonition that there would be some bad things to say about his elder brother.

Sure enough, Zhang Wuliang said in a very face-saving way: "Thanks to Brother Zhenlin!" The expression and tone completely inherited the noon's embarrassment.

"Hmph!" Zhang Zhenyong put down the snail and snorted, then turned around and entered his room with his backpack swung.

Zhang Wuliang shook his head: I need more exercise, my little boy, but I have survived 16 years of campus life and 12 years of working life, so I can live happily today.

Alas, Zhang Wuliang pretended to be profound and sighed: he is still too young.

"Liangzi" Mrs. Zhao came out of the house, and took an awl to drill the sole of a shoe: "Hey, use this to pry the meat."

"Okay." Zhang Wuliang took it and took a look. Some of them were sharp and hard, just right.

When Zhang Wuliang was prying the snails, Chen Xiaonian and Mrs. Zhao were handling the river fish in the kitchen. The big and small ones were separated first, and the small ones were squeezed directly with their hands. All the intestines and viscera of the fish were squeezed out from the back.Then put it in the oil pan and fry it thoroughly, remove it, and put it aside for later use.

Leave a little oil at the bottom of the pot, pour out the excess oil, add ginger, garlic and green pepper to sauté until fragrant, then add the fried river fish, stir fry, season, and take out of the pot.

The handling of large fish is more troublesome. You need to cut the maw with scissors, scrape off the scales, and then marinate it with salt before putting it into the pot.

Fry in an oil pan until golden on both sides, add rice wine and water, add some sliced ​​ginger and simmer.

In order to save time, Chen Xiaonian put the fish soup into clay pots and set up another small stove to cook it.

When it is almost cooked, cut into a few pieces of tofu and season with salt.

Smelling the aroma of the rice, Zhang Wuliang pried the snails, and a bowl of snail meat was pried out. Chen Xiaonian's fried fish, fish soup and a vegetable were all ready.

As soon as Zhang Wuliang's snail meat is in place, he immediately heats up the oil in the pan, adds ginger and garlic, and then pours the snail meat into the pot until fragrant.Add rice wine to remove the fishy smell, chili to enhance the taste, and a little special fermented bean curd, the taste is very fragrant.

Zhang Zhenyong tried his best to endure the tantalizing aroma, and repeatedly told himself to concentrate. When his stomach cried five or six times, he finally heard the sound of his brother calling to eat, and he slowly put down the brush in his hand, flying ran into the kitchen.

Sitting at the dining table, Zhang Wuliang looked at the fried fish, fish soup and fried snails in front of him, feeling overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment. These were all brought back from the river in the field bit by bit. Thinking about them, they were just simple ingredients before. , and now it's on the table, it feels so cool.

Chen Xiaonian took a bowl and filled a bowl of fish soup for all three of them: "Drink some fish soup first, and see how it tastes."

Aunt Zhao nodded, and Zhang Zhenyong took it over and said, "Thank you brother."

Zhang Wuliang smiled and gave him a bowl too: "How does it taste, why don't you try it yourself?"

Chen Xiaonian smiled embarrassedly, sat down obediently, and was about to drink with a bowl in his hand.Suddenly felt a nausea, ran away from the table and retched.
