The fish in the rice fields were good in every way except that they were covered in mud. I washed them several times in the river before I could finally bring them back.

The Lin family, who used to not eat lunch, now eat lunch like the rich families in the village. This is not because their lives have improved this year, but because it has been like this every year before the busy farming season.

In the half month before the busy farming season, the most important thing is to keep your family members healthy so that you can work with all your strength when the double harvest arrives.

At noon, Second Aunt caught four rice fish that were bigger than an adult's palm and stewed them with two pieces of tofu. The fish smelled so good that the whole yard was filled with the sound of kids drooling.

"Lian, stew the fish longer." Fang Cuihua said with a smile in the kitchen.

"Okay, sister-in-law, mother, I think we won't make the fish balls after we finish tomorrow. Let's focus on the double harvest first." Cao Lian said happily while cutting green onions in her hands.

"That's right. For us farmers, the most important thing is the fields." Grandma Lin nodded in agreement.

Fang Cuihua thought for a moment and said, "The weather is getting warmer, so fish balls are not selling as well as before, right?"

“Not only that, there are several families in this town who are imitating us!” Cao Lian was getting angry when she said this, these people are really good at imitating others!!!

Everyone was expecting what Cao Lian said. After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while, their attention turned back to the rice fish.

The plate of rice fish on the lunch table was what everyone was looking forward to.

Fang Cuihua and Cao Lian put the fish meat with few bones on the belly into the bowls of the little ones, and then scooped a large piece of tofu on it, which was enough to make the little ones lick their lips.

After Guangdan and the others had started eating, he began to taste the food carefully.

"How is it? Does it taste a little different? The meat of rice fish is sweeter and the fish soup is more delicious than the fish in the river." Guangdan stood up and took his small bowl, walking between the two dining tables in the main hall to ask.

"Well, the fish meat has a slight sweetness. Guangdan is right." Lin Xiaoniu nodded, then swallowed a piece of tofu.

"Right, Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, you guys should try it!!"

Guangdan returned to his seat very satisfied. His table was full of women and children. The little ones could only eat the meat on the belly of the fish, so only the back of the fish was left on the plate.

Erya and Xiaogu were so absorbed in their eating that they didn't even raise their heads. Only Goudan was chewing on a piece of tofu while looking thoughtfully at his second brother.

Ah He from my uncle's family had soup all over the corners of his mouth while eating. After he gulped down a big bowl of soup, he remembered his father's instructions.

"My father said that I was at my aunt's house every day and that everyone had to work hard, so during the busy farming season, my father would bring my brothers to help." After saying that, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and forced a satisfied smile.

"Well, you'll have to trouble your father then." The old man agreed before Lin Daniu could speak.

He knew that the eldest son probably wouldn't have anything nice to say when he opened his mouth, and sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a look in his eyes. The old man turned his head away and ignored this stubborn son.

Now is the time when our family needs to stick together, and the eldest son's wife's family is a very suitable candidate.

After lunch, everyone didn’t rush to the fields, but started making plans for the more than 30 fish in the yard.

Noticing grandpa's little look, Guangdan said in time: "Grandpa, you can arrange it, hehe." After handing over the power of processing the rice fish to grandpa in time, Guangdan took the little ones for a stroll in the yard with his round belly to digest the food.

"How much is left in the field?" Old Master Lin asked, looking at Guangdan thoughtfully.

Touching his head, Guangdan said proudly, "There are still two more. I have planted three fields of similar size in total."

"Well, Guangdan, I want to talk to the village chief about this." Grandpa directly expressed his thoughts.

"Yeah, go ahead and tell me. It's not a big deal." Guangdan thought the same as his grandfather. Raising fish in rice fields is not a big deal. It can be considered a favor, right?

"Okay, Guangdan, you follow grandpa to the village chief's house later. The other two of you will give two of these fish to your great grandfather. And your fifth master, Goudan, you will give two fatter ones to your teacher..."

The old man basically sent gifts to all the families with higher seniority in the village. This was also to lay the foundation for the Lin family to do things in the future.

Guangdan felt a little bit sad. Originally, he was going to sell these rice fish in town, but then he thought about the six hundred taels he got yesterday and thought, haha, it’s not a big deal.

“After delivering the fish, go to the fields and catch all the remaining fish. Keep them overnight and sell them at the market tomorrow morning. Give half of the money to Guangdan, and use the rest to buy meat for snacks during the busy farming season.” After the old man finished speaking, he gestured to Guangdan to take the small wooden barrel to pack the fish.

Guangdan followed his grandfather's footsteps with a smile on his face, showing his little white teeth and carrying four fat rice fish.

After arriving at the village chief's house, he didn't care what his grandfather said about the matter. He just joined Wumao'er in whispering, mainly bragging about his ability to catch fish.

This makes the Wumao people itchy!

Let's talk about this five cents! ! After being a cowherd for half a year, I am a little tired of it. Now I am trapped by the cows. It is not convenient to go anywhere to play. I can only go to the mountains to herd cattle.

After showing off in front of his little brother Wumaoer in a childish way for a while, Guangdan went home with his grandfather in high spirits, as he had important things to do in the afternoon!!!

For the rest of the afternoon, the Lin family members put down their work and worked in the rice fields, which attracted the attention of other people in the village.

Some curious people even ran over to watch the fun.

"Oh, Daniel, why are there so many fish in your field?!" A white-haired old man asked curiously, stroking his beard.

"My dog ​​Guangdan is very naughty. He caught a lot of fish and put them in the fields without us knowing. We just found out now, so we have to catch them all!" Lin Daniu responded vaguely, but his hands did not stop moving.

"Could it have flowed down from my fields?" asked another sharp-mouthed woman with a greedy look in her eyes.

"Hey, Aunt Zhuzi, just by lip service you say my fish become yours, that doesn't make sense!" Fang Cuihua shouted at the top of her voice fearlessly, causing the onlookers around to talk a lot.

The woman with a sharp mouth wiped her face under the vicious and threatening look of her man and shrank behind the crowd.

Many of these people were people to whom the Lin family had sent fish at noon, and they came here mainly to see how the rice was growing. Seeing that the rice was not affected and seemed to be growing even more luxuriantly, they each made up their minds.
