Chapter 55 The Great Harvest(1/2)
"Old Xu, it's time to eat~"
Xiuzhi stood up, made a trumpet shape with her hands, and called loudly.
"Coming~"
Xu Lingjun heard Xiuzhi's call and responded quickly.
He reluctantly took back the fishdart in the water.
It's been half an hour and not a single fish has been shot.
However, after these few efforts, he now feels better.
I think after trying it a few times, I think it will be almost done.
"They said I'm just a kid, and I'm still playing with water at such an old age."
Xiuzhi looked at Xu Lingjun's movements and couldn't help but murmured.
She was just busy cooking for half the day.
When I saw Xu Lingjun walking around the lake with a slingshot, I thought he was playing in the water there.
Xu Lingjun put the sheepskin jacket on the ground and motioned Xiuzhi to sit on it.
He took the wooden bowl handed over by Xiu Zhi and sat down on the ground casually.
This wooden bowl is also an essential tool for the Wrangler.
This thing is indestructible and easy to carry. Most Wranglers will prepare one.
Xu Lingjun didn't have this in the past. He could hardly eat and had no time to make wooden bowls.
Xiuzhi had someone bring this back from the field department after she found out about it.
Two wooden bowls come with two wooden spoons and chopsticks, and that's just ten eggs.
This was something she had brought back to the production department two days ago by sending a letter to her.
Xiuzhi didn't want others to have it, but her husband didn't.
Besides, Xu Lingjun has earned a lot of food and eggs these days.
So Xiuzhi was generous and made two directly.
I originally thought that Xu Lingjun would take this wooden bowl with him when he went to cut grass in a distant place in a few days.
I didn't expect to use it today.
A small pot of rice porridge, some pickles, and four pancakes.
Today is a heavy physical activity, so we can't skimp on food.
Xiuzhi broke open the pancakes, soaked them in a bowl, ate a few mouthfuls of porridge, and occasionally had a bite of chili.
That bold look really reminds me of a Sichuan hot girl.
Xu Lingjun couldn't eat that spicy food, so he drank porridge with pickles and ate pancakes.
He doesn't like soaking the pancakes in porridge and prefers to eat them dry.
It can be regarded as a personal habit!
Just like tofu puffs, some people like to eat sweet and some like to eat salty.
This small difference in eating between him and Xiu Zhi does not affect their relationship as a couple.
Xu Lingjun took out an egg from his pocket and handed it to Xiuzhi.
"Here, eat some eggs to replenish your health. You are a wounded person now."
Xu Lingjun said with a smile.
"When did you boil the eggs? They're so bad, you're teasing me again~"
She was inherently shy about that matter.
I have been teased by Xu Lingjun several times in the past few days.
The little cotton pad she made became a "big band-aid" in Xu Lingjun's words.
One moment it was said that the aunt was here, the next moment it was said that she was a wounded person.
He even told her a joke.
They say women are some kind of monsters and it’s okay to bleed every month.
I don’t know where he got so many new words.
Are they all in these books?
Xiuzhi gave Xu Lingjun a gentle hammer, took the egg, and slowly peeled it.
Two days ago, she also sent back the 100 kilograms of food stamps.
These food stamps and the previous eighty yuan made Xiuzhi completely relieved.
This money and food stamps can definitely help the family get through this difficult period.
Xiuzhi peeled the eggs carefully, not even missing the bit of egg white on the egg skin.
She didn't want to eat the peeled eggs, so she put them in Xu Lingjun's bowl when serving the porridge.
Xu Lingjun is so helpless!
Even an egg is let go.
But when he saw the eggs in the bowl, he couldn't help but be moved.
"I knew it would be like this, but luckily I brought two of them."
"One for each person, you can't give me these eggs!"
Xu Lingjun took out another egg and handed it to Xiuzhi and said pretending to be angry.
"Oh~"
Xiuzhi smiled sweetly at Xu Lingjun, took the egg and started peeling it.
After lunch, Xiuzhi automatically packed up her things and went to the lake to wash the pots.
Xu Lingjun was not idle and continued to take his weapons to the lake to "play in the water".
Seeing a fish in the distance, Xu Lingjun jumped down and laughed loudly.
After more than half an hour of hard work at noon, he finally got the trick and hit the target with one blow.
Xiuzhi heard Xu Lingjun's laughter and saw him pulling the rope vigorously.
I ran over quickly to see what was going on.
"Ah, fish, hurry up and catch it."
Xiuzhi came over just in time to catch up with Xu Lingjun pulling the fish up.
I shouted excitedly when I saw the fish jumping on the shore.
"Xiuzhi, don't move. Let me come. It can't run away."
Xu Lingjun quickly stopped Xiuzhi who stepped forward to catch the fish.
This fish dart is very powerful. It has already penetrated the fish, but it cannot hurt Xiuzhi.
Xu Lingjun retracted the rope, caught the jumping fish, and carefully took down the fish dart.
Xiuzhi ran too fast just now, still holding the small aluminum pot in her hand.
Now that it was just in use, she quickly got some water from the lake and asked Xu Lingjun to put the fish in.
This fish dart penetrated directly through the belly of the fish.
Even though this fish jumped very hard just now, it actually didn't have long to live.
"Lao Xu, how did you get the fish? This is amazing."
Xiuzhi looked at the fish in the aluminum pot and said with admiration.
"Use this and shoot it with a slingshot."
Xu Lingjun looked calm on his face, but actually he was already happy mentally.
Just the adoring look in Xiu Zhi's eyes made all his efforts worth it.
Xu Lingjun walked in front, and Xiuzhi, a little follower, followed closely with an aluminum pot in his hand.
That careful look was afraid of scaring away the fish in the lake.
Xu Lingjun just agreed to show off his skills to Xiuzhi.
Hey~ Yes, I can tell that this fish is quite big.
Xu Lingjun took out his slingshot, fishdart, calmed down, and hit the mark with one hit.
Seeing the splash of fish struggling in the water, Xu Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief.
