Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

It is only nine o'clock in the morning. The guests invited to the banquet today are the villagers who helped build the house and the relatives of the old Ye family.

So there are quite a few people busy in the kitchen right now.

This kind of banquet was not as sumptuous as the modern ones. Sometimes there were four or five dishes on the table, and only one of them was meat.

Even a bowl of meat dish is basically stewed cabbage with oil residue or meat slices, and the meat is cut into pieces basically as big as a fingernail.

Ye Jianguo was quite generous today, and sent Ye Lin to the market early in the morning to buy three pounds of meat. At this moment, Ye Lin went out with Ye Jun mainly to try his luck.

There was only one meat dish on the table, and the two brothers always felt a little uncomfortable.

When Fu Wan and Fu Ming heard that Ye Lin and Ye Jun had gone to the river, they looked at each other, then turned around in tacit understanding and said to Ye Xiaocui and Li Chunhua respectively:

"Mom, I'm going to the river to take a look."

"Aunt, I'm going to the river to help."

When the brother and sister said this, Ye Xiaocui did not stop them, but just gave them a few words of advice.

"The river is deep and muddy, so just the two of you can go. Don't bring the children with you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Ling and Qin Mingzhu's cheering and clapping hands stopped instantly.

Even the little braids on her head that had just been flying were drooping down.

“Grandma, Mom, we want to go too.

We promise not to run around!"

I don’t know where this guy learned the swearing gesture, but it made Li Chunhua laugh.

"Mom, with so many adults like us, can't we take care of two children?

Let them go with us, it’s okay!”

Fu Ming couldn't bear to see his niece looking so pitiful, so he immediately tried to persuade Ye Xiaocui.

Fu Wan thought about the environment by the river. There was a section of riverbank where villagers often grazed their cattle. It would be nice to let the two children go there to play.

"Mom, let them go together. I'll let them play on the riverbank later."

Since Fu Wan, her biological mother, had spoken, Ye Xiaocui naturally did not stop her.

He just repeatedly reminded the two children to be careful, "Watch the cow when you play, otherwise the cow's horns will hit you and your intestines will be pushed out!"

These words successfully frightened the two children who were eager to try. They had just seen several buffaloes from a distance. Their big, long, curved horns were completely different from the small horns of the yellow cattle in Fujia Village.

Moreover, most of the villagers in Fujia Village rely on the sea for their livelihood, and there are only two households in the village that raise cattle.

"Okay, mother, aunt, let's go to the river."

Fu Wan held Fu Ling in one hand and Qin Mingzhu in the other, said goodbye to Ye Xiaocui and Li Chunhua, and then walked towards the river in her memory.

That river actually has the same source as the small river where they caught the turtle before, but the place where Ye Lin and the others are going now is downstream where there is more water.

Because there is so much water, a lot of water plants grow along the river bank. In the summer, when there are frequent heavy rains, the water plants are full of crayfish.

Because the grass is close to the water, it grows lush green. Over time, this place has become a holy place for villagers to graze their cattle.

At this time, there was an iron ring tied to the cow's nose, and a strong hemp rope was tied firmly to the iron ring.

The villagers drove the cattle to the grassland, making sure there were no trees around that could get caught on the hemp ropes. Then they nailed the iron pegs tied to the hemp ropes into the grassland, so that they could let the cattle out in the morning and bring them back in the evening.

These cows spend the entire day on the riverbank. When they are thirsty, they drink water on their own. When they are hungry, they graze on the grass. When we bring them back at night, their bellies are full and no one has to worry about them at all. (Big Water Buffalo Net Picture) It’s rare to see “Godmother, there are so many cows!”

Seeing the big and small buffaloes on the river bank, Qin Mingzhu couldn't help but widen her eyes. This was the first time she had seen a buffalo with such big horns.

"There are indeed a lot of them. You should stay away from these cows. See those horns? They are very dangerous."

Although she agreed to bring the two children over, Fu Wan still had to explain more to them.

Because the buffalo's temper is much more irritable than the old ox in the village.

Fu Ling suddenly met the eyes of a cow not far away. The cow's big eyes stared at him coldly, and Fu Ling couldn't help but shudder.

"Mom...Mom, I'd better follow you."

The little girl didn't dare to say that she was afraid, but Fu Wan could feel that she was pulling her harder.

"Awan, why are you here?"

Ye Lin heard familiar voices from afar, and when he turned around, he saw that it was indeed his cousins.

His shout instantly excited Ye Xiaofeng and Ye Zhenxing who were squatting next to him, and they ran towards Fu Wan and the others shouting all the way.

"Aunt! Uncle!"

Fu Wan and Fu Ming responded from a distance. Fu Wan felt in her pocket and found no candy, but she did take out two yuan and gave it to the two children.

"Go buy yourself some candy later."

Even though Ye Xiaofeng was young, she didn't dare to accept it. Ye Zhenxing was even more worried. Their pocket money was always just a few cents, and even a dime or two was rare.

"Take it, go play with your sisters, don't go to the buffalo!"

Fu Wan stuffed the money into their pockets without saying a word. Seeing this, Fu Ming also touched his own pocket. Well, his pocket only had the shredded radish that he had bought for Fu Ling and the others at the store early this morning.

"Well, I don't have any money on me, so you guys take these shredded radishes first."

This kind of snack was popular at the time, so Ye Xiaofeng took it obediently and smiled sweetly at Fu Ming and Fu Wan.

"Thank you, aunt and uncle."

Ye Zhenxing also scratched his head, said thank you, and then ran to the grass not far away with his sisters.

The four children were extremely harmonious, sharing the two bags of shredded radish bit by bit. Fu Wan saw that Ye Zhenxing was watching, so she pulled Fu Ming and walked quickly towards Ye Lin.

"Brother Alin, Brother Jun, how was the harvest?"

Ye Lin smiled when he heard that and nodded towards the bucket on the ground.

"Yes, they are all crucian carp as big as a palm."

Crucian carp actually tastes pretty good, and it is also a popular dish when braised.

Ye Jun was also very happy when he saw Fu Wan and the others coming.

This river is wider than the one at the foot of the mountain, so it is impossible to pull the net on both sides. The two brothers threw the net by hand, and after a long time they only caught a dozen small crucian carp.

"Awan, do you want to try it?"

Ye Lin looked at Fu Wan and couldn't help asking.

Fu Ming, who was standing next to him, immediately became unhappy when he heard this. "Dalinzi, I'm a grown man standing here, why don't you ask me?"

Ye Lin rolled his eyes at him when he heard that. When Ye Jun next to him heard that, he immediately stuffed the fishing net in his hand into Fu Ming's hand.

"Amin wants to try it, here you go!"

Before Fu Ming could react, he said to Ye Lin, "Brother, you guys keep busy here. I'm going back to check on my chickens and ducks!"

Ye Lin could only nod helplessly and turned to complain to Fu Wan in a low voice.

"Now all he can think about is his chicken farm. My mom was afraid he'd go crazy raising chickens, so she asked me to bring him here to fish."
