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

Chapter 684 It’s going to snow

Everyone had mixed feelings during the meal. Anyone who had seen the child would feel heartbroken.

I don’t know what’s going on in Liang Cuifen’s mind. As a woman, she actually favors boys over girls.

Li Chunhua also had a headache about her second daughter-in-law. It was a rare occasion that Fu Wan and the others came today, and everyone was originally happy. But now, when Fu Wan and the others left, Li Chunhua and Ye Jianguo felt a little embarrassed.

"Awan, Aming, and An Ning, why don't you have dinner at home before going back?"

I ran into that unlucky Liang Cuifen as soon as I had lunch at noon today. Almost half of the dishes on the table were left.

Fu Ming instinctively looked at Fu Wan. Although Li Chunhua also asked him, he knew that his words would not be effective.

It was impossible for them to stay, so when they came out today, Ye Xiaocui asked them to go back early.

Because the weather forecast last night said it would snow this afternoon!

Fu Wan smiled and pointed to the dark sky. "Aunt, look at the sky. There are dark clouds overhead and a north wind. If we don't go back, we'll have to spend the night here."

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua wanted to stay overnight, but then she changed her mind and thought that Fu Ming and Qin An Ning would be having a wedding in a few days, and there might be a lot of things waiting for them to do at home when they got back.

"Okay, then I won't force you to stay. A'lin, go to the back door utility room and get the things I prepared earlier. And, boss, let A'wan and the others take away the pheasants and rabbits we got this morning!"

Fu Wan wanted to refuse, but Li Chunhua raised her eyebrows, as if to say that she would not be able to refuse even if she did.

Helplessly, the trunk that was finally empty was now even more packed.

Seeing this, Fu Wan couldn't help but joke, "Oh, we're not here to treat you, we're clearly here to buy some goods. When we get back, my mother will definitely nag me again!"

"Haha, what nonsense! We're glad you can come! Awan and Aming, go back and tell your mother that these pheasants and rabbits can still live for two days, so you can keep them for the New Year.

I've already fried the walnuts and pine nuts, and have your mother put them in the rice jar to prevent them from getting damp and changing their flavor."

Li Chunhua kept talking for a long time as if she was seeing off her own child. Ye Jun didn't leave either, and put the eggs he brought in the car.

Seeing this, Fu Wan was about to take out money, but Ye Jun put down the eggs and left without giving her a chance to pay.

Fu Wan had no choice but to stuff the money into Li Chunhua's hands. Not only did Li Chunhua refuse to take it, she was also a little angry.

"Awan, if you do this again, don't bring anything next time. Venison is so expensive, and we eat a lot of crabs and fish.

"If the second brother is willing to give it, that's what he means. Hurry up and take the money back and get in the car. If you delay any longer, it will really snow."

As a few people were coming and going, a light drizzle had already begun to fall, and with the north wind blowing, it was so cold that people were shivering.

Seeing this, Fu Wan had no choice but to take the money back. If he didn't want it, then forget it. She had to go to the cannery in a few days, and then she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two cans of milk powder. She would bring it over when she paid New Year's greetings, which would be her way of repaying Ye Jun for the eggs.

Thinking of this, they said goodbye to Li Chunhua, Ye Jianguo and others, and the car disappeared from the sight of Li Chunhua and others in a short while.

The weather seemed to sense the atmosphere of parting and the rain got a little heavier.

"Boss, let's go back quickly, the rain is getting heavier.

I have to take a bamboo hat and go to the village to ask if there is any family with milk, so I can get some for Xiaoli to drink first."

Drinking rice soup every day is indeed not a big deal.

Ye Jianguo nodded silently. It was not easy for him to intervene in such matters. Well, he decided to go back and look after the child.

At this moment, Xiaofeng and Ye Zhenxing were guarding at home, afraid that the child would wake up and cry.

Never mind, it’s just a matter of a few months. After the baby is half a year old, you can make some egg custard, which is nutritious and delicious.

Also, he had to talk to the second son. If Liang Cuifen couldn't change her ways, his Ye family really couldn't have her.

Thinking of this, the old couple walked quickly towards home, and Ye Lin followed behind. He had to go back to deal with the remaining wild boar meat. After all, the New Year was approaching, and he had to see what was missing for the New Year's goods.

If there is extra wild boar meat, I can carry it to the county market to see if I can exchange it for something else.

When Fu Wan and her companions returned to Fujia Village, small snowflakes were already falling from the sky.

The combination of rain and snow made driving difficult. Ye Xiaocui had been knitting inside since lunch, glancing at the door from time to time, wondering why the children hadn't returned yet.

Boss Fu went out. Since the family was going to have a wedding, they had to ask everyone for help from each family. In addition, there had to be someone to take charge.

Boss Fu originally wanted to give this task to Fu San, but Village Chief Fu came over and talked to Boss Fu for a long time, insisting on being the person in charge.

Boss Fu was at a loss as to what to do, so he just let him do it if the old man was happy.

Hearing the sound of a car at the door, Ye Xiaocui hurriedly put on a hat and went out with two oil-paper umbrellas.

"Oh, you're finally back! Hurry up and hold your umbrella! It's raining heavily now!"

Fu Wan took the umbrella and opened it, and Qin An Ning quickly dodged it.

Fu Ming had already opened the umbrella, but after thinking about it, he handed the umbrella to Ye Xiaocui.

"Mom, give me the hat. You take Lingling and Mingzhu back. I need to take the things from the trunk back."

"Brother, take down the wild boar meat first. It won't be too late to move the eggs and other things when the rain stops."

Fu Ming nodded when he heard this, "That's exactly what I thought!"

Whether it is wild boar or domestic pig, the meat should be eaten fresh.

I'm going to bring this wild boar meat home and cook a bowl of it tonight.

The wild boar meat that Ye Jianguo distributed to them had not been chopped up yet, but Fu Ming wanted to chop it into pieces quickly, save some for tonight's meal, and put the rest in the refrigerator.

Otherwise, such a big pork leg would not fit in the refrigerator!

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaocui hurriedly took the child back, then went to the utility room to find a straw raincoat and asked Fu Wan to put it on Fu Ming.

In the 1980s, there were no good raincoats in rural areas. Most people used the traditional bamboo hats and straw raincoats.

These two things are quite simple to make, and time waits for no one during the busy farming season, so basically every household has prepared a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat.

The conical hat is made of woven bamboo strips, while the straw raincoat is made of palm leaves or wear-resistant and durable grass. It is low-cost and highly adaptable.

But with the development of light industry in later generations, rainproof equipment became more and more numerous and cheaper. For convenience, people used more umbrellas and raincoats, and conical hats and straw raincoats gradually disappeared from the sight of the Chinese people.

Fu Ming didn't want to wear the straw raincoat at first, as it was inconvenient, but since he had already got it, he simply put it on and then moved all the things in the trunk into the house.

Of course, the dry goods such as walnuts and pine nuts were still left untouched. The rain was too heavy and they would easily become damp if they were exposed to moisture.
