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

"Daddy, look, I cut a lot of grass. The ducks won't be hungry."

Just as Li Xiuzhi was stunned, Guoguo came back with a large bunch of green grass. When she was about to go to the birdhouse, her little nose twitched twice and she exclaimed in surprise, "What a nice smell!"

Chen Lang said, "Good girl, go wash your hands quickly, we are ready to eat."

Guoguo threw all the grass into the birdhouse, ran to Li Xiuzhi, and pulled her trouser legs: "Mom, wash your hands!"

After washing his hands, Guoguo ran to the earthen stove first and looked at the fish in the pot eagerly.

Seeing how greedy she was, Chen Lang picked up a small piece of fish, cooled it down, and fed it to her: "Good girl, taste it for Daddy to see how salty it is, okay?"

Guoguo ate the fish in one mouthful, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Chen Lang smiled and asked, "How is it? Is it salty or bland?"

Guoguo smacked his lips twice: "Daddy, I swallowed it too fast and couldn't taste it."

Chen Lang burst into laughter.

Li Xiuzhi brought out the steamed buns, and the family used the buns as bowls and feasted on them beside the earthen stove.

The soup from the grilled fish falls on the steamed buns, making them more flavorful. When you take a bite, it tastes even better than meat.

This pot of grilled fish is eaten cleanly.

After eating and drinking, we have to start weaving bamboo baskets and crab cages.

Chen Lang took the money and prepared to go to his uncle to buy materials. Li Xiuzhi saw this and said, "I'd better go. Uncle Thirteen's house is not far from the Chen family. If Qin sees us, she will probably come to pick on you again."

Chen Lang thought about it and it made sense. Anyway, the materials used to weave the bamboo basket were not heavy, so it wouldn't be a problem for Li Xiu to pick it up.

So he gave her the money and said, "Come back when you buy it, and ignore the Chen family if you run into them."

Li Xiuzhi nodded, took the money and left.

Chen Lang played with Guoguo at home for a while, and Li Xiuzhi came back dragging the bamboo strips for weaving a bamboo basket.

"How much?" Chen Lang stepped forward to take it and asked.

Li Xiuzhi said, "Thirteen cents."

After saying that, he handed the remaining seven copper coins to Chen Lang.

Chen Lang was about to put the money away when he caught a glimpse of Guo Guo standing beside him. After thinking for a moment, he took out three cents and put them in Guo Guo's hand.

Guoguo held the money in both hands, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Growing up, she had never truly owned even a penny.

Even the New Year's money given during festivals would be taken back by Qin as soon as it touched her.

These three cents were the first money that Guoguo had ever owned since she was a child.

"Daddy, can I really take it?" Guoguo still didn't quite believe it and asked timidly.

Chen Lang rubbed her head and said, "Of course, as long as you behave well in the future, Daddy will give you pocket money."

"These three cents are a reward for putting grass to feed the ducks today."

Guoguo cheered immediately, came to Li Xiuzhi, raised her hands high and showed her the copper coins in her hands: "Mom, look, I have money too!"

Li Xiuzhi said gently, "You must save it well."

Guoguo nodded: "Well, when I save enough, I will buy some delicious food for Daddy and Mommy."

Chen Lang squatted down and kissed Guoguo: "You are really daddy's good girl."

"Okay, put the money away and go have fun."

Guoguo skipped away, and after Chen Lang and Li Xiuzhi separated the bamboo strips, they began to weave.

Of course, Li Xiuzhi is the main person in weaving bamboo baskets, and Chen Lang acts as a cheerleader, providing emotional value to Li Xiuzhi.

After all, weaving bamboo baskets is a technical job and you can’t learn it just by watching it twice.

"Xiuzhi, let's make a crab cage first." Chen Lang suggested.

Li Xiuzhi nodded, and then her hands began to move like butterflies flying through flowers. The bamboo sticks in her hands were more obedient than Guoguo.

In about half an hour, a brand new crab trap was ready.

It is much better than the one Chen Lang bought in the county town. If he catches river fish like old turtles, he won’t have to worry about being bitten.

As for the fish, unless it is a big one weighing more than seven or eight kilograms, don't think about digging it out once it goes in.

Chen Lang sighed, "Xiuzhi, how come you are so amazing? I, Chen Lang, must have accumulated so much virtue in my previous life to be able to marry a wife like you who is so clever, skillful, and beautiful."

Li Xiuzhi blushed and said angrily, "You're being so unruly again."

Chen Lang covered his chest and said, "Every word I say is from the bottom of my heart. If you don't believe me, put your ear to my heart and listen to my heart."

Li Xiuzhi's face became increasingly red, and she pinched the back of Chen Lang's hand: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll ignore you."

Chen Lang closed his eyes and said, "Oh, no, dear, you can't ignore me. If you ignore me, I will die."

Li Xiuzhi looked at Chen Lang helplessly. Why didn’t she realize before that her man was such a funny guy?

After laughing and joking for a while, Chen Lang looked up at the sky and said, "I'm going to go to the river and put the crab trap down. That way, we'll probably have fish and shrimp to eat tomorrow."

Li Xiuzhi said: "Okay, be careful."

"Don't worry." Chen Lang said as he moved his face closer.

Li Xiuzhi was confused: "What do you mean?"

Chen Lang said: "Farewell kiss."

Li Xiuzhi stretched out her hand and pushed him away, saying shyly, "You're annoying!"

At this time, men must take the initiative!

So Chen Lang quickly pecked Li Xiuzhi on the cheek.

Then he ran out with the crab cage.

Li Xiuzhi covered her face with her hands, her heart trembling.

But when I think about it carefully, I don’t reject it, and I even feel happy.

Chen Lang was also in a very happy mood.

From holding hands to kissing, if it continues like this, after the effect of the medicine wears off, we can go straight to the heart of the matter!

So beautiful!

Being in a good mood, my steps naturally became lighter, and I arrived at the fishing spot about a quarter of an hour earlier than usual.

Chen Lang moved to a place with more abundant aquatic plants and put the crab cage down.

Then he rushed to the county town without stopping.

The wine and rice used for moving the needles have run out and need to be replenished.

You also need to buy some spices for cooking.

In addition, buy some candles.

Guoguo sometimes gets up at night, and the house is pitch black, so it's easy to bump into things.

When Chen Lang returned home with these things, it was already completely dark.

Li Xiuzhi sat in the yard holding Guoguo and waiting for him.

Seeing Chen Lang, Guoguo couldn't wait to jump over.

Chen Lang quickly squatted down and gave his daughter a tight hug.

"Daddy~~"

Guoguo's cry made Chen Lang's heart melt.

"My dear girl, have you eaten?" Chen Lang asked softly, resting his hand on Guoguo's forehead.

Guoguo said: "No, let's wait for Daddy to come back and eat together."

Chen Lang stood up holding Guoguo and said to Li Xiuzhi, "You don't have to wait for me to eat in the future. You and Guoguo can eat first when it's time."

"No child should go hungry, and neither should you."

Li Xiuzhi smoothed her hair and said gently, "When we eat, it's natural for the family to eat together."

After saying that, he stepped forward and carried Guoguo to the ground again: "Daddy is tired after walking all the way, don't let Daddy carry you."

Guoguo pouted, feeling a little aggrieved, but a new idea immediately came to her mind.

She stretched out her little hand and said, "Daddy, hold my hand."

Chen Langle's teeth were about to fly out. He held Guoguo with his left hand and Li Xiuzhi with his right hand and said, "Let's go have dinner as a family."
