A tragic journey through ancient times, trying to make money

"Grandpa, Dad, I'm going to take Ah Yan and the others to the river to catch some fish. I'll make grilled fish for everyone later."

"Okay, go ahead, just be careful."

Zhang Yunxue was squatting on the side watching Grandpa and the others cut bamboo sticks. When she heard that Zhang Yunyue was going to fish, she said excitedly, "Sister, I want to go with you too."

Zhang Yunyue touched Zhang Yunxue's head and nodded: "Okay, you go with us."

Then he looked at Mo Yan and said, "Ah Yan, Mo Wen, Mo Qi, let's go to the river and catch some fish. I'll make you some grilled fish later."

Mo Yan said with a doting look, "Okay."

So a few people took out the fishing nets that were used for fishing from the utility room of the old house.

Mo Wen picked up another bucket from the kitchen.

Zhang Yunxue volunteered to lead the way, while Zhang Yunyue and Mo Yan walked at the back.

Zhang Yunyue looked at Zhang Yunxue who was jumping in front of her.

He smiled and said to Mo Yan beside him: "I haven't seen Xiaoxue so happy for a long time."

Several people arrived at the river.

Mo Yan: "Yueyue, you and Xiaoxue just wait for us by the river, the three of us will go fishing."

"Okay, be careful."

Mo Yan and the other two took off their boots and socks and placed them on the shore, rolled up their trouser legs and sleeves, picked up their fishing nets, and went into the river.

Two of them took fishing nets and used them to block the low places in the river. The remaining person took a stick and drove the fish to the low places in the river.

We went back and forth several times.

Mo Yan and Mo Qi gathered the fishing nets, and when they reached the river, they pulled out the nets and saw that there were two or three grass carps weighing about one kilogram in the nets, as well as some small miscellaneous fish.

Mo Wen: "Hey, I'm really lucky. This is only my first time and I've already caught two or three."

After putting the fish in the net into a bucket, the three continued fishing in the river.

"Let's go down to the river."

After a few trips back and forth, I caught seven or eight grass carps, but thinking that I was just going to make grilled fish today, I released the other fish.

Zhang Yunyue saw that there were almost no more fish in the bucket: "Ayan, that's enough, no need to fish anymore, you can go back now."

"Okay, Mo Wen, Mo Qi, pack up, we're going back."

"Yes, son."

After drying their feet at the riverside and putting on their boots and socks, they carried the buckets and fishing nets back home.

home.

Grandpa Zhang and his friends are stringing the skewers together.

"Dad, we're back."

Father Zhang: "How is it, did you catch any fish?"

Mo Wen brought the bucket to the men and said, "We caught some fish. We caught quite a few. I'll kill them now."

After saying that, Mo Wen took the bucket aside, took out a kitchen knife, sat on a small stool in the yard, and started killing the fish.

The others who came back went to the kitchen to wash their hands and followed Grandpa Zhang and the others to thread the skewers.

Mo Yan said, "Grandpa, grandma, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, and two aunts, I will be going back to the city in two days. I have been in the village for more than ten days. The reply letter from the capital should have arrived in the city by now.

So I plan to go back and see what the letter sent from the capital says, to see how things are discussed there, and to see whether it will be my mother and others who will propose marriage, or my eldest brother.

If my mother is coming, she should be halfway by now. I have to go back now and prepare some things. After they arrive, I can rest for a few days and then set off to the village."

Grandpa Zhang nodded and said, "That's right. We have traveled all the way from the capital to Yunzhou. We should take a rest before we come back. Otherwise, we won't be able to bear it."

Father Zhang: "Ayan, go back in two days. Be careful."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhang. We have walked this road many times before, and we have martial arts skills. There will be no problem."

After all the skewers were put on, Zhang's mother and Zhu put the stewed pig's feet into a ceramic pot and simmered them on a small stove in the yard.

Everyone started barbecuing and eating hotpot in the yard.

Wild boar meat is chewier and more fragrant, and it tastes even more delicious when served with the unique barbecue chili powder.

Today's barbecue and hotpot is the first meal for the Zhang family's children after they went to the provincial capital.

Everyone ate to their heart's content and continued eating until the moon rose, then everyone dispersed.

Two days later.

Everyone from Old Zhang's family stood at the gate to see Mo Yan and the other two off.

Mo Wen and Mo Qi had already moved all the luggage onto the carriage, and now they were both standing beside it waiting.

Grandpa Zhang: "Ayan, be careful on your way back and don't rush."

Grandma Zhang: "That's right, stop and rest if you are tired. After all, it will take three days to get to the capital. Also, Aunt Yueyue and Second Aunt have prepared some food for you. If you are hungry on the way, stop and take it out to eat before continuing."

During this period, Mo Yan's performance has completely made the Zhang family accept this future grandson-in-law.

When Mo Yan heard these words, he felt warm in his heart: "Grandpa, grandma, don't worry, I know."

Then he looked at Zhang Yunyue who was standing beside him and said with a smile, "Yueyue, wait for me to come back."

Zhang Yunyue nodded: "Well, I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay, Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, we'll leave first."

After saying that, Mo Yan clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, then turned and walked towards the carriage.

After Mo Yan got on the carriage, Mo Wen and Mo Qi bowed to everyone and said goodbye, then drove away in the carriage.

When Zhang's father saw that the carriage was no longer visible, he called his family back and said, "Let's go. Ah Yan and the others have left. Let's go in too."

Mo Wen and Mo Qi drove the carriage for three days and finally arrived at the provincial capital.

As it was already late when they arrived in the city, it would be inappropriate to disturb Mo Ting and his wife at the government office, so Mo Yan asked Mo Wen and the others to drive the carriage back to Yunfeng Lane.

Rested for a night.

On the second day, Mo Yan took Mo Wen and Mo Qi to the government office.

In the government office, Mo Ting went out to do errands, and only Sun Miaoyan was at home.

"Madam, Master Yan is here."

"Ayan is back, take Ayan to the main hall, I will come later."

After the butler left, he took Mo Yan to the main hall.

After a while, Sun Miaoyan also came to the main hall.

Mo Yan stood up, bowed and clasped his fists: "Sister-in-law."

Sun Miaoyan raised her hand to signal Mo Yan to sit down quickly: "A Yan, sit down quickly, there is no need for such a big ceremony for a family."

Mo Yan sat down at the bottom seat after hearing this. Seeing that his elder brother did not follow him, he asked, "Sister-in-law, isn't my elder brother at home today?"

"Your eldest brother is out on a business trip and won't be back until the evening."

Sun Miaoyan knew that Mo Yan had been to that girl's house during this period, so she asked:

"Ayan, how was your stay at your future Yue family this time? What impression do their family members have of you?"

Mo Yan: "Sister-in-law, Yueyue's family treats me very well, just like their own family."

Upon hearing this, Sun Miaoyan teased Mo Yan, "That's good. It seems that your future Yue family has accepted you. Congratulations, Ah Yan."
