The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

However, the location of the ice hole also has its considerations. In addition to determining the location of the fish school, the ice holes cannot be too close to each other.

Lu Tianfu looked carefully for a long time before choosing another spot.

He didn't need to say much, the men around him were already waiting with their tools in hand.

After Lu Tianming pointed out the location, the men spared no effort and started smashing the ice with their tools.

Soon, it was noon and there was already a pile of sacks on the river.

As the net was pulled out, Lu Tianfu slumped on the ground and said to Lu Tianming, who was panting heavily from exhaustion,

"Cousin, I think it's almost time for today!"

Lu Tianming wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head to look at the pile of sacks behind him, nodded and said to everyone:

"After we finish collecting this net of fish, let's prepare to go back!"

After hearing this, the women also quickened their pace.

While Shi Xiu'er was working, she would occasionally glance at Xiao Shitou who was sitting not far away. When she saw that he was not running around, she continued to work!

After coming in the morning, she was worried that her son would run around and fall into the thin ice, so she told him.

Except when I go online to pick up fish, I just sit in one place and play.

This morning, Xiao Shitou was only curious and excited when he caught fish on the first few nets, but he lost interest later.

There is nothing else to do on the river except the cool snow.

Little Shitou waited and waited, and finally heard his mother calling him to leave.

He immediately jumped up happily, followed his mother happily, and started chattering.

Shi Xiu'er found it funny and teased him:

"Little Stone, we'll come back here to fish tomorrow. Come over and help pick up the fish then."

Little Stone's head shook like a rattle:

"No! No! Tomorrow I'll be at home talking to grandma, and I can even help her cook!"

Shi Xiu'er bent over with laughter when she saw this.

Seeing that he really didn't plan to come again, I stopped teasing him.

The child was so excited when he heard his father say he was going fishing yesterday that he kept asking to help.

No one in the family is as stubborn as this child!

In the end, it was Shi Xiuer who made the final decision and let him come once to know how cold it was!

As the old saying goes, people can never teach others, but things can teach people once!

Although she thought so in her heart, she couldn't help but feel distressed when she touched her son's cold little hand.

After rubbing her hands a few times, she picked up her son and put his little hands in her cotton jacket.

She was instantly startled, then smiled and started talking to her son.

On the way back, the atmosphere among the group was completely different, and they were chatting all the way.

In order to save energy on the way back, they tied up firewood to make a simple rack and placed the sacks of fish on the rack.

The men dragged the fish back like this and didn't feel very tired.

When they got home, the people on duty were overjoyed to see so many fish.

Tianfu's mother came out trotting and picked up her eldest grandson when she saw him.

She hugged Xiao Shitou and kissed him, and felt the coldness on his face, which made her feel distressed.

"Oh, my dear grandson, you must be freezing cold after going out! I'll take you over to warm up by the fire, and you won't be cold anymore!"

As he said that, he picked up the small stone and walked over to the fire.

The grandfather and grandson started talking to each other in such a warm and affectionate manner.

As soon as Lu Qingqing came back, she pulled Qin Lang back to her bedding.

Their shoes were soaked during this trip.

Wearing this, my feet are cold and wet, which is very uncomfortable.

She took out two pairs of shoes from her bag, and after she and Qin Lang changed into them, she went back to the fire to warm themselves.

Shi Xiu'er was about to get up and prepare lunch when she heard Tian Fu Niang say:

"Xiu'er, you guys take a rest and warm up by the fire. When you left, Tianxin's mother and I agreed that we would come over for lunch today."

The old village chief's wife next to him also took out a basin and said:

"Yeah, you guys are cold and tired after this trip, take a good rest!"

As they spoke, the women who stayed behind began to prepare lunch.

In the room, the young women could no longer sit still.

Although they went out in the morning, they really couldn't sit still and watch their elders work.

After a short pause, the women came over to help.

This afternoon, everyone finally stopped eating radish seedling soup.

Having caught a lot of fish, Lu Tianming said loudly with a smile on his face:

"Today we have a fish feast!"

When she heard that they were going to have a fish feast, Lu Qingqing contributed her "only" seasoning.

When the women saw the seasonings, they all expressed their desire to use their best skills.

For a moment, the room was filled with laughter.

Soon, the room was filled with the aroma of various fish.

When lunch was ready, Lu Qingqing was also surprised.

There are grilled fish, stewed fish, smoked fish, steamed fish, fish balls, fish soup, etc. Some of them are things Lu Qingqing didn't even think they could make under these conditions.

The women who were cooking stood by the pots and warmly invited others to come and eat with them.

For a moment, Lu Qingqing felt like she was watching modern snack stalls competing with each other to sell their goods.

Everyone ran back, grabbed their bowls and started walking around.

Before I could take a few steps, the bowl was almost full.

With Qin Lang, a big eater, Lu Qingqing was not afraid at all and went from house to house to get food.

Qin Lang took the initiative to finish the leftovers.

After lunch, Lu Qingqing's stomach was bloated, and even Qin Lang was bloated.

After the meal, everyone finally had some free time and started sitting together to chat about family matters.

Often, a family would sit together and chat, and some children would fall asleep on top of an adult.

Zhuzi's father looked down at the skinny little dog in his arms, and his heart unconsciously thought of the youngest son whom he had loved for almost twenty years.

Soon, he shook his head again, shaking Erxi's figure out of his mind.

There is little hope that the youngest son is alive, and even if he is alive, it will be difficult to meet him again in the future.

Now, the only bloodline among his grandchildren is Xiaogouzi.

It's too difficult for him to raise this child by himself!

As he thought about it, his gaze unconsciously fell on his eldest son on the other side.

The eldest son, daughter-in-law and the little girl Dani were talking and laughing.

He couldn't describe the atmosphere between the three of them, it was inexplicably glaring.

Zhuzi noticed something and looked up to see his father staring at him.

His face, which had been smiling while he was talking to his wife and daughter, suddenly turned cold.

Thinking of Erni's death, he turned his head away and stopped looking at his father.

Zhuzi's father was a little embarrassed when he was discovered.

Seeing his eldest son's attitude, he became very angry again.

After staying there for a long time, no one spoke to him, so he simply took his child to bed.

......

On the other side, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were huddled next to Master Yan and his wife.

The master's wife was holding needle and thread, mending the holes in the clothes of several of her apprentices.

Li Rui was excitedly talking about the fishing techniques he learned in the morning.

Several fellow disciples chatted with each other from time to time, and the atmosphere was particularly warm for a while.

After the master's wife finished mending the last piece of clothing and bit off the thread, she saw Lu Qingqing beside her dozing with her eyes closed.

She took a thick piece of clothing beside her and put it on her.

Lu Qingqing was awakened by the movement. Seeing that it was her master's wife, she squinted her eyes and lay down next to her.

Seeing that she had no pillow, the master's wife was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so she let her rest her head on her legs.

Lu Qingqing squinted her eyes, feeling the gentle caress on her head, and she felt even more sleepy.

Before she fell asleep, she had only one thought in her mind:

How strange! We haven't showered for so long, but Master's Wife still smells so good!
