They had two paddy fields here. Shen Shuyu rolled up his trouser legs and went down to the fields, where he dropped a few drops of spiritual spring water. After a while, Shen Shuyu saw two loaches coming out. Shen Shuyu was quick to catch them and put them in the bucket.

After catching them, two more emerged, followed by three, four, and five. "Big brother, second brother, third brother, come over here quickly."

Shen Qiu came over with a flashlight in her hand. When she shone the flashlight, she saw more than a dozen loaches at her eldest sister's feet. "So many!"

Shen Qiu gave the flashlight to Bai Luobo, who held it in his mouth, and squatted down to catch loaches with both hands. Shen Jiabao and the others also hurried to catch them. The brothers and sisters caught them for half an hour, and when they looked at the bucket, they found that it was almost half full. It was quite a harvest.

Shen Qiu looked at the loaches in the bucket and was very happy. "I still have to come out with my elder sister. She is lucky."

The three brothers Shen Jiabao agreed with this and asked, "Sister, will you come out and catch them tomorrow night?"

Shen Shuyu thought for a moment and said, "Go out."

The five siblings went home with buckets of loaches, avoiding people. When their family members saw how many loaches they had brought home, their mouths dropped open in amazement. "So many? How did you catch them?"

"Big sister is lucky, the loaches are all nesting at your feet, and we can catch them all."

Zhang Cuicui praised, "Our Shu Yu is really blessed. Whatever she wants to do comes true."

Isn’t it a blessing? Others can’t catch them even if they want to, but my niece went out for a while and came back with a big bucket.

The loaches were caught together and divided equally among the three families. No one from the third house went with them. Liu Pan wanted to eat the loaches and looked at her eldest niece eagerly. Shen Shuyu couldn't stand her look and gave her five loaches. "Third aunt, we'll go out again tomorrow night."

Liu Pandi immediately said, "I'll let your third uncle go with us tomorrow night."

She wanted to go with them, but she didn't say anything because she was now pregnant and it would be uncomfortable for her stomach to bend over.

After the loaches were divided, Shu Yu said to Old Lady Shen, "Grandma, I want to eat fried loaches tomorrow night."

Fried loaches are the most delicious. If it weren’t too late, Shen Shuyu would have wanted to fry them now.

"I'll fry it for you." Shen Shuyu went back to the kitchen and looked at the clay pot filled with oil. There was not much left. She thought about going to the black market after get off work tomorrow and buying some pork fat.

Shen Shuyu had no intention of going to the grocery store. Meat was in short supply and was sold out almost as soon as the store opened every day.

After hearing her elder sister talk about fried loach, Shen Qiu also pestered Li Caixia to eat fried loach, "Mom, I want to eat fried loach too."

Li Caixia gave her daughter a slap on the head and said, "What are you eating, fried loach? I think you look like a fried loach. Go back to your room and go to sleep."

How wealthy is the second branch of the family? They can’t afford such oil-intensive food as fried loaches.

She usually boils the food in water, unless the autumn harvest work is too heavy and the food cannot be without oil and water, then she is willing to add a few drops of oil.

Shen Qiu guessed that her mother would say this and she was not unhappy. If she couldn't eat fried loach, boiled loach was also good, after all, it was meat.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for Yang Fangfang to start. She started in the middle of the night. The two young people had no experience. In the middle of the night, Shen Jiabao felt the wetness on the kang and thought that his wife had peed on the kang.

"Fangfang, get up and sleep somewhere else. You're a little wet down there."

Yang Fangfang woke up in a daze and felt that the kang under her butt was wet. She thought she had urinated and felt very embarrassed. She changed her pants and slept in another place. Just two minutes after lying down, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

Shen Jiabao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"I... my stomach hurts."

Shen Jiabao thought she had a stomachache and wanted to carry her to the village to check. Zhang Cuicui heard the sound and lit the kerosene lamp. She knew at a glance that her daughter-in-law's water had broken.

He instructed his eldest son, "Fangfang is about to give birth. Go to the next village and ask Mrs. Chen to come over."

Mrs. Chen was a famous midwife in the surrounding villages, and Mrs. Shen had greeted her early on.

The bicycle was placed next to the courtyard wall, and Shen Shuyu didn't lock it. Shen Jiabao stepped on the bicycle and hurriedly asked the midwife to come over.
