While Mrs. Du was packing the fish, she peeked at her mother-in-law from time to time. Seeing how smoothly she was doing it, she couldn't help but click her tongue.
'Ginger is still old and spicy. I haven't worked for so many years and I haven't seen any skill.'
Under Du's silent sigh, Baiyunxi had already washed the clothes and hung them on the pole to dry.
After lunch was ready, the three of them ate at home first, and then asked Du to send her to the back hillside. Baiyunxi took Yaya for a lunch break, and they would continue to go fishing down there.
This time, Baiyun River chose a location relatively close to the wooden bridge to get off the pole, just enough to see the pedestrians walking back and forth on the official road.
The uncle and his cousin went to the county and should be back in the afternoon. As an old mother, she always wanted to check in on the situation of the boss's baby bear, as long as she could keep her face.
The Qingshui River runs between Liushuwan and Guandao. A wooden bridge connects the village and Guandao. This wooden bridge was also built by the clans in the village with funds raised.
The wooden structure bridge needs to be repaired every year to prevent corrosion and insect infestation. The cost of the later repairs is said to be paid by the ancestral hall, but in fact most of them are repairs contributed by Lao Ju.
Build bridges and pave roads to benefit future generations.
Although everyone in the village participates, in line with the principle of contributing money with money and contribution with strength, the wooden bridge has been well maintained so far.
"Grandma, what are you looking at?"
Yaya followed Baiyunxi's gaze and saw nothing but the bridge.
Baiyunxi came back to her senses and stretched out her hand to rub her little crotch. The bamboo pole moved and she lifted it by feeling, and a carp as big as a palm broke out of the water.
"Thanks to Yaya for reminding Naina, the fish almost got off the hook."
After putting the fish into the bucket, Baiyun Xi concentrated on fishing. When the sun turned westward, he harvested half a bucket of fish.
"It's enough to eat. Let's pack it up and let's go home."
Baiyun Xi glanced at the wooden bridge and couldn't help but frown. One day was enough to go from the village to the county seat and back.
They haven't been seen yet. Could it be that something happened?
Forget it, it’s the same thing if you go home and wait. Anyway, they live at the entrance of the village, so you won’t miss them if you pay attention.
As soon as the grandfather and grandson carried their things ashore, they heard the sound of an ox cart and a pulley.
Seeing the bullock cart turning into the village, Baiyunxi was overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet it.
"Uncle, cousin, are you back?"
Seeing Bai Yunxi carrying the bucket, Bai Yunsong was startled, subconsciously glanced at his father, and forced a smile.
"My cousin actually knows how to fish?"
'Looking at her, it's obvious that she was waiting for them.'
Listening to his cousin's thoughts, Baiyun Xi was not surprised.
"I always felt uneasy and couldn't stay at home, so I took Yaya to the river to fish. Fortunately, I was lucky and caught a few fish."
As he spoke, Baiyunxi took out the aquatic plants that had been prepared in the bucket, fished out two big fish, skewered them, and put them on the bullock cart.
"Take it home and pack it up. Fry it in lard and stew the sauerkraut. It will taste good."
Looking at the two lively fish, Bai Yunsong glanced at the bucket she placed on the ground, and there were indeed a few more.
To have such a harvest, you are not very lucky.
"Cousin, I know you want to ask Brother Chen about it. The road has been arranged and the household registration has been taken away by him, saying it is for emergencies."
Bai Yunxi's lips twitched, ready to settle down in a suitable place at any time. She had expected it, so it wasn't too surprising.
Bai Yunsong looked at his cousin who didn't speak, thinking that she would find it difficult to accept it for a moment, but he still had to say the next thing.
"Before Brother Chen left, he borrowed two dollars from me, saying it was approved by his cousin."
