He poured the small fish and shrimps in the bamboo basket directly onto the ground, then squatted down and began to count them eagerly.

The largest crucian carp was probably slightly bigger than Guangdan'er's palm, estimated to weigh only a few taels, but he was already very satisfied.

The remaining ones were a few snails of different sizes, a small crab, and a few small river shrimps.

After some hesitation, he threw the small crab into the ditch and left the rest on the ground.

Before I could enjoy it to my own satisfaction, I heard the noise of the 50-cent army.

"So fast? Let me see!" As he said that, he stretched out his claws and prepared to pull open the egg.

Guangdan dodged as expected, then stood with his hands behind his back, looking smug.

But Guangdan pursed his lips after taking a look, very dissatisfied and said: "Why is it so small? The fish I caught in the river before was much bigger!"

Guangdaner glared and immediately started to refute.

"What do you know? Small crucian carps are more nutritious!" He convinced himself while saying this!

In fact, people at that time really didn't care much about these small fish and shrimps.

So even though there have always been small wild fish in this ditch, only the children in the village would come and play with them, and the adults didn't really care.

At this time, people think that the big ones are good, and many things in the water are not edible.

Just like a turtle, basically you just use an awl at home to poke a hole in it and then release it.

"Really? But what kind of meat is there?" Wumao thought that this little brother might be talking nonsense, but his hand holding the small bamboo basket became eager to try.

For a 50-cent party member, it doesn’t matter whether it’s fish or not, as long as his family has enough food, it’s enough to have fun.

This is simply like a full man not knowing the hunger of a hungry man!

Guangdan didn't want to say any more to the silly boy, so he took the little guy to another small section of the ditch in silence and put the five-cent bamboo basket away according to the previous steps.

Then the two of them continued to stir the ditch with small sticks, making the water muddy, and the small fish and shrimps began to move and run around everywhere.

But Wumao finally impressed him, after all, he picked up the bamboo basket from the water without blinking an eye.

His little hands were red from the cold, but there was no sign of being frozen on his face.

I have to say, when kids play, they don’t care about the cold at all, they are so cold-resistant!

After the two of them did it several times, the ground beside the ditch was covered with a pile of fish, shrimps and other things of all sizes.

When the two were dividing the fruits of victory, Wumao was still a little uncertain when looking at these small fish.

"It's such a small fish. Will grandma really cook it for me?"

Guangdan frowned and thought for a while and said, "If nothing works, just cook fish soup. Fish soup is also very nourishing."

Wumaoer nodded his head in confusion, but what he was thinking was that he shouldn't be beaten if he took it back, right?

In the end, Guangdaner successfully caught five wild crucian carps the size of a palm, two handfuls of small river shrimps, and some snails.

Two very small fish were left for Laicai to eat, and the rest of the small fish were put back into the ditch.

As soon as they got home, Laicai came to greet them with a meow like a dog, and his little tail was wagging and circling around Guangdan'er's calves.

"Oh, now you know there's food?" Guangdan grinned and teased the evil boy with his feet for a while, then got up and went to the kitchen.

Erya, who was boiling water under the earthen stove, saw Guangdan coming back with a dripping basket. She was about to scold him, but when she stood up, she saw the small fish in the basket.

"Do you want to die? Why have you been to the river these days?" Erya's eyes turned red with anger, and she raised her hand and rushed towards Guangdan'er.

After being caught off guard and slapped hard by his elder sister, Guangdan felt lucky that he was wearing cotton pants, otherwise his butt would be swollen!

We need to find a chance to have a good talk about this matter of being spanked all the time. He is already a grown girl, oh no, he is a grown boy, how can he be spanked all the time?

Seeing that the slap was about to continue, Guangdan quickly began to beg for mercy.

"Second sister! Second sister! We didn't go to the river! Listen to me! Stop, stop, stop hitting me!!!" An urgent voice stopped Erya's actions.

At this moment, Erya's face turned red with anger, and her eyes became even redder when she thought about this silly boy falling into the river.

"I caught this with Wumao'er in a ditch. Look, this fish is so small! If we caught it in a river, would the fish be this small?"

As he said this, Guangdan pushed the bamboo basket towards Erya in a flattering manner.

Erya confirmed again and again that Guangdan did not go to the river, then she put her mind at ease and turned to study the little fish in the bamboo basket.

"This fish is so small, how do I eat it?" Erya didn't know how to eat such a small fish for a moment. She was afraid that it was full of fish bones.

Guangdan stuck his head outside the kitchen, and seeing that no one was there, he leaned over to whisper in Erya's ear.

"Let grandma rest at night, and we'll cook. I'll teach you how to cook this little fish." He winked as he said this.

Arya didn't trust Guangdan very much. She frowned and said, "I'm the one cooking tonight. Grandma has a cough today. So how do you cook this fish?"

Guangdan glanced at the pitiful little fish in the bamboo basket, blinked his lips and said, "Carp and tofu soup, second sister, trust me, I will get some soybeans to exchange for a piece of tofu, and let everyone enjoy it in the evening!"

As he spoke, his big eyes sparkled, just like the Monkey King in Journey to the West.

Arya refused to accept this and took several steps back, saying with a face full of resistance: "You still want to exchange soybeans for tofu? I will scold you to death!"

"Then I'll use the money to buy it!" Guangdan now felt that if he couldn't eat the crucian carp and tofu soup tonight, his life would be shortened, so he had to eat it no matter what!

"Grandma is not feeling well. You can go to the field to deliver some water and tell mother later. It'll be all right if she agrees." After saying that, Erya turned around and went back to the stove to add firewood.

When the water gets hot, she still has to wash clothes!

The day was getting a little warmer, so we cleaned out the old clothes we had taken off during the winter.

Erya’s task today is to wash the clothes that the little ones in the house have taken off, together with her younger sister Taohua.

The two little girls were worried that they couldn't wash it clean, so they boiled some hot water.

Guangdan thought about his paws that were frozen in the ditch just now, and he began to feel guilty towards his second sister and aunt.

The water was so cold, yet two teenage girls were going to wash clothes in the pond.

He looked down at his dirty clothes and hung his head.

"I want to go wash with you guys? No, the water in the pond is too cold. Let me fetch some water in a bucket?" Guangdan suggested helplessly.

Erya couldn't help laughing: "Haha, what nonsense are you talking about? It's okay today. My sister-in-law and I will take a shower together. It will be very quick."

As he said this, he patted his chest loudly, as if he was content with having me.

Looking at Erya's red little paws with many big cracks, and then looking at his own hands which were similar in size, Guangdan felt that he had to eat crucian carp stewed with tofu tonight!

Life is so hard!!!!
