Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang's heart was filled with warmth when he thought about sleeping with his wife in his arms at night. His feet and legs were no longer sore, and he felt full of energy.

When I moved the cooking utensils to the kitchen, I found some black stains on the stove, kitchen cabinets and other utensils.

It didn't look like smoke, so I reached out and twisted it, and found it was dried blood.

Chen Lang sighed lightly. These bloodstains all belonged to Chen Laojiu's family.

I think the family must have been having a happy meal, but then the bandits rushed in and killed them all.

Everything is fate, nothing is up to you.

The bandits killed Chen Jiu's family but did not cause extensive damage to the kitchen. Although the wooden cabinets had shown signs of decay after a few years, they were still usable.

Building a set of kitchen cupboards is quite expensive. Since these things can still be used, it saves Chen Lang money.

I used the scrap wood that I had found when I was cleaning the house as firewood and burned the stove hole first.

The kitchen was suddenly filled with black smoke.

After the black smoke cleared, Chen Lang returned to the kitchen and cleaned the stove.

Charcoal residue is also a good thing and can be used to absorb moisture.

This house has been uninhabited for a long time and is very damp. Charcoal can solve this problem.

Then Chen Lang began to lubricate the pot.

Newly bought iron pans need to be lubricated so that they are convenient to use.

The method of lubricating the pot is also very simple. First, heat the pot, then cut a piece of pig skin, hold it with chopsticks, and rub the entire pot. After the iron pot is shiny, wash the pot and repeat the previous steps.

After doing it three or four times, pour rapeseed oil into the pot and heat it, spread the rapeseed oil evenly with a rag, and let it cool naturally.

"Erlang, let me cook." Li Xiuzhi said after cleaning the house and walked into the kitchen.

Chen Lang put down the kitchen knife and said, "There's hot oil in the pot, be careful not to burn yourself."

Li Xiuzhi noticed the completely blackened pig skin on the stove and whispered, "What a pity."

Chen Lang said, "It's not a pity. I'll chop it up and use it as bait for fishing."

Li Xiuzhi smiled embarrassedly, no longer feeling sorry for the piece of pig skin, and started washing rice and cooking.

Chen Lang was preparing to deal with the weeds in the backyard.

At this time, Guoguo was caught in a dilemma.

Should I help my mother in the kitchen or follow my father to weed?

When he first came, Guoguo was quite happy, but after the excitement wore off, the child still felt a sense of fear towards the new environment.

So Guoguo had to make sure that either her father or her mother was within her sight, and of course it would be best if both of them were there.

After a difficult decision, Guoguo decided to stay in the kitchen.

In the end, she was closer to Li Xiuzhi.

Chen Lang naturally couldn't guess the delicate emotions of Xiao Mian'ao at the moment, and she also wanted Guoguo to stay in the kitchen. A sickle was needed to weed, and it would be very bad if Guoguo was accidentally hurt.

Li Xiuzhi had just bought the sickle from the county town. Chen Lang found a stone, sharpened the sickle a few times, and then started weeding.

When more than half of the weeds in the backyard were cleared, Li Xiuzhi invited Chen Lang to dinner.

Compared to the past, today's dinner is definitely sumptuous.

Stir-fried pork with lettuce, scrambled eggs with leeks and three bowls of white rice.

The white rice, paired with the greasy meat slices and the golden eggs, made Chen Lang's mouth water and his appetite grow.

Guoguo kept swallowing his saliva.

After finishing her meal, Li Xiuzhi started to boil water for washing.

After the hot water was boiled, Li Xiuzhi and Guoguo went to the backyard to wash, while Chen Lang washed in the front yard.

Chen Laojiu's house is outside the village and is in a remote location. Few people pass by here during the day, let alone at night, so even if he takes a bath in the open air, he doesn't have to worry about being peeped at.

The old man took a shower very quickly. In less than a cup of tea, Chen Lang had washed the dishes.

When Chen Lang heard Guoguo's laughter coming from the backyard, he began to feel torn between his conscience and his desires.

"What's the harm if I take a look at my own wife and daughter?"

"Girls should avoid their fathers when they grow up, do you understand?"

I don’t know how long I was struggling, but there was no sound from the backyard.

Chen Lang thought that something had happened to the mother and daughter, so he hurried over.

But the backyard was empty.

Chen Lang hurried back to the house and found the mother and daughter sitting on the bed waiting for him.

"When did you finish washing?" Chen Lang was stunned.

Guoguo responded crisply, "I finished washing a long time ago."

Li Xiuzhi explained gently, "I saw you in a daze in the yard and thought you were thinking about something, so I didn't call you."

Chen Lang was too embarrassed to say that he was actually debating whether or not to peek.

Hiding the embarrassment in his heart, he took off his shoes and went to bed to play with Guoguo.

Soon, the little guy's eyelids began to twitch, and then he subconsciously looked for his mother to hug him.

Li Xiuzhi held Guoguo in her arms and coaxed her to sleep. Just as she was about to put her in the middle of the bed, Chen Lang cleared his throat and said, "Xiuzhi, Guoguo promised me that she would sleep inside tonight."

Li Xiuzhi's face suddenly turned red.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Xiuzhi put Guoguo in the innermost part.

Just when Chen Lang thought he could win the beauty tonight, Li Xiuzhi pulled the quilt over and covered herself tightly.

Seeing this, Chen Lang knew that there was no hope tonight, so he had to take a deep breath and think of something else to divert his attention.

Today's expenses were actually quite high. These daily necessities, plus the pre-ordered tables, chairs, beds and stools, took up about a quarter of the money I earned recently.

Next, I have to buy a homestead, build a house, and do business...

Money has to be spent like water.

It's too slow to make money just by slacking off, so I have to think of other ways.

However, before he could come up with a plan, Chen Lang fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Taking advantage of the cool weather, Chen Lang took a sickle and continued to deal with the weeds in the backyard.

After the grass is cleared, cultivate this small piece of land and plant some beans, cabbage, etc.

Building a house is not something that can be done overnight. It will take at least two months, which means that Chen Lang and his family will have to live in this house for a long time.

Plant some vegetables with a faster growth cycle so that you can still have fresh vegetables to eat during the twelfth lunar month.

After clearing all the weeds, Li Xiuzhi invited Chen Lang to have breakfast.

Breakfast was white porridge with pickles and steamed buns. Guoguo squinted her eyes as she ate. "Daddy, can we not go back? Grandma won't let Guoguo eat such a delicious breakfast when we go back."

Chen Lang said, "Don't worry, my dear girl, we won't go back."

"From now on, you can have such a good breakfast every morning."

Guoguo danced with joy, like a butterfly dancing among flowers.

After dinner, Chen Lang started thinking about the crab cage he had placed in the river.

I haven't been there for more than a day, and I don't know if it's still there. If it is, how many fish are there?

How about putting on some makeup and sneaking over to collect it?
