After that, he and Li Qingqing sat on a chair to rest. Yuan Man raised his hand, glanced at his watch and said, "I'll get it in half an hour. There must be fish in it."
"How do you know this method of catching fish?" Li Qingqing asked curiously.
"When I was studying in the past, there were students in our class who were promoted from rural areas. As they said, they all used backpacks in the countryside. They smashed a few snails and put them in. After a while, when they took the baskets up, there was enough fish in them.
For a meal.”
Yuan Man began to share with Li Qingqing interesting anecdotes from when he was studying. Although he had never done such a thing himself, he found it very interesting when he heard it from his classmates.
He has never divided areas or anything like that. He has the same attitude towards students from rural areas and students from cities.
Li Qingqing smiled lightly, "You know this method, and others also know it. Maybe there are no fish in this river anymore!"
"That's not necessarily true, because this river is living water. If there is a steady stream of water flowing down from the source, there will naturally be a steady stream of fish flowing down." Yuan Man was extremely confident in himself. He felt that he should be able to catch enough fish today.
Fish for dinner.
In May, when the weather was nice, it was actually a bit hot. Li Qingqing wore Yuan Man's coat and basked in the sun for a while, then she felt her whole body started to heat up. She hurriedly took off her coat, but there was no place to put it, so she had to hug him
Wearing Yuan Man's coat.
When the time was almost up, Yuan Man stood up confidently and ran to the river. He reached out to bring up the pickle jar and poured the water in it onto the bank. As expected, there were many small white fish jumping on the ground.
Li Qingqing couldn't help but her eyes lit up. She didn't expect to actually catch fish! "There are so many fish and we don't have anything. How are we going to get them back?"
Yuan Man noticed Li Qingqing's performance and felt a sense of pride in his heart.
"Isn't this simple?" Yuan Man took off the coat that Li Qingqing was holding in his arms, spread it on the ground, and then put the small fish on the clothes. If he was still with a child, he would do this and go home.
A meal of bamboo stew is definitely indispensable.
Yuan Man repeated this operation several times, and finally caught a pack of small fish, including catfish, wheat ears, white strips... there were several kinds of small fish. The original plan to go to a state-owned restaurant for dinner was no longer feasible.
Because the temperature is a bit high now, and after a long time, these fish must have smelled bad, so Yuan Man had to send Li Qingqing back. Apart from their families, almost no one knew about the two people's affairs, so Yuan Man sent Li Qingqing back.
Near the guest house, Li Qingqing was asked to go back by herself.
If he sends Li Qingqing back in an upright manner, others may gossip about her.
When Grandma Li saw Li Qingqing coming back with a piece of clothing, she asked with some confusion, "Come right back. What are you doing holding a piece of clothing?"
Li Qingqing glanced down at the clothes in her arms and reacted immediately. She originally wanted to turn around and send them back to Yuan Man, but thought that Yuan Man was riding a bicycle and should have been home long ago, so she came to the well and put the clothes away.
Spread it out on the ground and transfer the small fish inside to the basin.
The fish cannot return to the water for a few seconds. These small fish have already received their lunch boxes, but they have not changed in taste. They can still be eaten at night after being processed.
"You...you...how can you use clothes to wrap fish? These clothes look like they are newly bought. This is such a waste!" Grandma Li was furious.
Young people are young people and don't know how to cherish things. It is really a waste to use such good clothes to pack a few small fishes.
"He wanted to wrap it." Li Qingqing explained in a low voice. How could she have known that Yuan Man would wrap the fish directly in his clothes? By the time she realized it, they had already put the fish away, and there was no point in using it as an afterthought.
Already.
"Grandma, don't worry. I will wash the clothes out and return them to him. Grandma, let's see how the fish is cooked! I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the room to rest."
At worst, buy a new dress for Yuan Man. It's not like she has no money.
Li Qingqing returned to her room to change her clothes, opened the wardrobe, and immediately saw the blue floral skirt Song Xi had given her, and a hint of emotion flashed in her eyes.
She meets Song Xi less and less often, because Song Xi is in charge of such a large primary school and grows so many things. It seems that when she has holidays, she will have to visit Ping An Village more, otherwise
She and Song Xi really had no chance to meet.
The small fish is really difficult to cook. If it is braised, it will easily fall apart. If the fish is dried like a gift, the portion is too small and it is not worth it. In the end, Grandma Li coated the dried fish in flour and fried it.
The fried fish is golden and crispy, and even the spines can be eaten directly.
Li Lei sighed while eating, "Where did this fish come from? The taste is quite different from what Xiao Xi brought us."
"They're both fish, so what's the difference in taste?" Li Qingqing didn't believe it. She picked up two fried small fish and put them in her mouth. The taste was indeed not as good as the dried small fish Song Xi brought over. "Maybe it's because of the mountains.
Maybe it’s because of the spring water! The water and soil in the mountains are more nourishing.”
You can’t say it’s a problem with your grandma’s cooking skills, right?
The dried fish that Song Xi gave her before was also made by her grandma, which shows that her cooking skills are no problem.
"This fish was caught by Yuan Man. It took him a long time to catch such a small amount." Li Qingqing rolled her eyes at Li Lei. She just ate some of them, but she even picked them up. If you have the ability, you can catch them yourself!
Li Lei didn't expect that Yuan Man had caught this little fish, so he touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment. Fortunately, Yuan Man wasn't here, otherwise he would have been angry when he heard what he said, right?
Grandma Li glanced at Li Qingqing and then at Li Lei, and said, "Leizi, your sister's partner has stabilized. When will you take her home? Is it possible that you want Qingqing and Yuan Man to wait?
Following you?"
"Grandma, why are you talking about me again? Is it so easy to find a partner? What if you randomly find someone and meet the female version of Lou Yuyu and harm our entire Li family? So you must find a partner.
Be careful, you can’t be fooled by looking at other people’s good looks. Our family has been able to survive the previous disasters all because of Xiao Xi. If it happens again, grandma, do you think our Li family can survive safely?
?”
In the past few years, Li Lei has really seen a lot of things. He feels that people's hearts are really terrible, and no relationship is unbreakable.
Grandma Li was still a little frightened when she thought about what happened in the past two years. In some families, children caused all kinds of troubles in order to get some property, which made the family restless.
But Grandma Li will never give up, "It's up to you!"
Li Lei knew that his grandma was loose, and a bright smile bloomed on his face.
