Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chen Xiu Yu put down the oil-stained spatula in her hand and walked forward quickly in two steps.

She stretched out her hands, took the basket from Yuan Wei's hand, and bent over under the weight of the basket.

She looked at Yuan Wei in surprise, unable to believe that such a small woman could have such great strength.

Just now, she saw Yuan Wei carrying the backpack easily.

Yuan Wei pretended not to see her confusion and clapped her hands.

Chen Xiuyu looked down at the basket, which was filled with fresh fish.

There was a gleam in her eyes and her face was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Oh, this fish arrived at the perfect time! I was just wondering what to serve to the elders. Now, with this fresh fish, I can definitely make a sumptuous meal!"

After the family split up, Mrs. Zhuang felt as if her soul had been sucked out of her.

She suddenly lost all her energy and became listless, completely lacking her former lively and energetic self.

She sat quietly in the corner of the room, her eyes as empty as two bottomless black holes, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her.

Regarding what kind of food to prepare to entertain the elders.

She had no interest at all at this moment and was in no mood to go to the kitchen to prepare food.

Chen Xiuyu just encouraged Wang Xiaocao to go to Old Lady Zhuang to ask something.

Let’s see what dishes to prepare for lunch so that this separation can be successfully concluded.

Although deep down she didn't want to see the family split up, now that things had developed to this point, Chen Xiu Yu no longer worried about it too much.

Life must go on, doesn't it?

And from the current perspective, our family has not suffered any loss in the division of the family, which can be considered a small consolation.

What's more, the family had set aside all the necessary expenses for Biao'er to prepare for the county examination.

She really didn't have anything to worry about right now.

Just as my father-in-law said last night, once Biao Ge'er passes the county exam, there will naturally be no need to worry too much.

If you unfortunately fail the exam, you can save money for a few years and try again.

She only had this one son, so of course all the wealth in the family was used by him.

She firmly believed that Biao Ge'er would be able to make a name for himself.

If Feng'er could pass the county exam, how could their Biao'er, who is so diligent and smart, fail such a small county exam?

It is precisely because of this firm mentality that when faced with the issue of dividing the family property, Chen Xiu Yu was able to accept and adapt more quickly than Old Lady Zhuang.

At this time, Wang Xiaocao opened and closed his mouth slightly, and made various gestures with his hands.

She was asking Yuan Wei where she got these fresh fish, and she also asked Yuan Wei with concern whether she was tired from the journey.

Yuan Wei smiled soothingly and shook her head gently at her.

Chen Xiuyu asked happily, "Where did you get so many fish?"

Yuan Wei feigned innocence and said, "It was in the creek outside. Suddenly, a large group of fish swam over and I scooped them up."

Then she added, "There are still quite a few in the creek now. A group of people are fishing in the creek."

Chen Xiuyu couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh, if there is still some, why don't you continue to fish it out? Why are you in such a hurry to come back?"

Chen Xiuyu was so anxious that she was running around like an ant on a hot pan.

She slapped her thigh suddenly, grabbed an empty backpack without saying a word, and rushed out of the house like an arrow.

He kept muttering, "I have to go get some more quickly."

Wang Xiaocao stood there blankly, staring at Chen Xiuyu's gradually receding back, his heart full of confusion.

She couldn't help but make a few gestures to Yuan Wei beside her.

She also wanted to go fishing.

Seeing this, Yuan Wei gently waved her hand, a helpless expression on her face, and said, "Don't go fishing. We won't be able to catch many fish at this time. Let's deal with the fish we have already caught first."

As she spoke, she poured the lively fish into a huge basin, and then called on Wang Xiaocao to help her process the fish.

"We'll cook half of the fish today and treat the elders well, so they can taste our cooking. We'll pickle the other half and eat it slowly later to satisfy our cravings."

Yuan Wei spoke softly as she skillfully handled the fish.

Wang Xiaocao hurriedly reached out and pulled Yuan Wei's hand away, preventing her from touching the fish.

She gently pushed Yuan Wei with her hand, indicating that she should leave first and she would take care of the fish.

Yuan Wei looked at Wang Xiaocao's anxious and serious expression, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She quickly grabbed Wang Xiaocao's hand and smiled at her.

"Mom, let me help you. If you do it alone, it will be too slow and I'm sure you won't be able to handle it."

"Besides, we have split up now. I worked so hard to get these fish back, so the remaining half naturally belongs to our family."

"If we don't fix it quickly, grandma and aunt will not allow us to take the fish away if they see it."

When Wang Xiaocao heard this, she suddenly stopped pushing Yuan Wei's hand.

She lowered her head and began to handle these lively fish with swift hands and feet.

Seeing this, Yuan Wei was delighted and hurried to help Wang Xiaocao.

The two of them worked together in perfect harmony, and before long, they had processed all the fish properly.

Afterwards, Wang Xiaocao stayed in the kitchen and continued cooking.

Yuan Wei carried the half basket of processed fish and walked briskly back to her room.

She found a strong rope and carefully hung up the pickled fish one by one, letting them dry in the breeze.

While busy processing the fish, Yuan Wei was completely unaware of the smell that was gradually spreading.

It was not until she stopped at this moment that she suddenly smelled an extremely strong fishy smell.

I couldn't help but say in my heart: I was careless. I shouldn't have caught so many fish.

Now, the whole room is filled with this unpleasant fishy smell.

"Uncle San, Uncle Wu, please stay and have dinner with us today."

After everything was over, the elder enthusiastically tried to retain the two elders who had come to witness the separation.

"That's right, Third Uncle, Fifth Uncle, the meal has already been prepared at home. Let's have a drink here with my father today."

The elder followed closely behind and invited sincerely.

The two elders looked at each other slowly, then nodded solemnly in agreement.

This is also their family tradition. After experiencing such a major event as the division of the family, they invite the elders who came to witness the division to enjoy a sumptuous reunion dinner together.
