Hard times have room

Chapter 488

"Okay, just stand here with me, and let your dad down below." Su Hongying twisted Baolin's wet clothes and said angrily.

This girl is good at everything, but she is too stubborn. What she wants to do, no matter how others persuade her, will not work.

"That's not good, I have to go home and change my clothes. It's wet and the wind blows, and I feel a little cold." Pauline said, handing the bucket to her mother, and she went ashore without looking back. .

She had to go home to take a shower and change her clothes to make sure that no small things like soft bugs or leeches were crawling on her body, otherwise, her heart was like a stone across her body, and she felt uncomfortable all over, even thinking about it.

As soon as she got home, Pauline opened the door, took the clothes from the bedroom, and went straight to the bathroom. After taking a shower with hot water, she felt much more at ease.

After packing herself up, Pauline immediately walked to the place where her parents were staying, carrying a bucket in her hand.

"Have you washed it?" Su Hongying saw that Paulin was coming, and turned to the side to let Paulin go over.

"Well, Mom, how many fish did Dad catch after I left?" Paulin took advantage of the opportunity to cross Su Hongying and stood in front of her.

Instead of looking at the bucket, she asked Su Hongying.

"Hey, it's just those little trashy fish." Su Hongying raised her chin. Although this sounded a little unpleasant, her eyes were full of smiles, indicating that she was very satisfied with these.

"Not bad, Mom, that's enough for us to eat twice."

The two meals Pauline said were two meals of fish soup, not just two meals of fish.

If a family of three really eats fish, there will be no satiety for a meal without two or three catties, even if there is fish soup.

Su Hongying didn't say anything, obviously she thought so too, but she was stubborn and wouldn't say it.

"Well, what are you doing with another bucket? There's already a bucket, and it's definitely enough."

"Isn't this afraid that the fish in the bucket will fly by accident? Mom, I put the bucket I brought new. Take the bucket with the fish and snails home!" Pauline was also afraid of an accidental accident. Kicked over the bucket, and in the end, chickens and eggs were beaten.

After all, this fish is still alive, and it will be gone as soon as it enters the water, so be careful.

As long as the fish is brought home, if nothing else, it will definitely run away, and the fish in her pot is a sure thing.

When Su Hongying heard this, she thought it was very reasonable. After all, it is not very safe for such a big fish to be placed near the water.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, you're watching." Seeing Wang Jiandang, who was holding the net in his hand, regardless of whether he was concentrating on catching fish, Su Hongying's eyes flashed a trace of worry. !

When Wang Jiandang walked back to the bluestone slab with a fish about the size of two fingers in his hands, he was still a little concerned about the missing Su Hongying: "Paulin, where's your mother?"

Strange, wasn't he still here when he looked up just now?As soon as he turned his head, the man disappeared.

"My mother went to put the fish. She said that such a big fish was put in the water, so don't worry." Pauline said while holding a bucket to draw water, trying to stay away from Wang Jiandang as much as possible. He just came over and mixed the surrounding water.

It took half a bucket of water to play before Paulin stopped. This fish is about to be killed by their family of three. Before they die, don't let them be too suffocated.

Well, it's purely her idle time, she's bored here, and plans to wait here for a while, just watching these fish swim to pass the time, maybe she can be inspired to learn to swim by herself.

Wang Jiandang walked ashore and threw the small crucian carp seeds in his hand into the bucket, and then copied the two large and small loach in the net and threw them into the bucket together.

"Dad, this is a good harvest. If it goes on like this, how can you catch a catty or two of fish this afternoon, which is much better than going to work." Paulin sighed while looking at the cheerful fish swimming in the bucket.

For more than a year, the grain in the fields has never reached their hands. All year round, it is all wild vegetables. It seems that the work is not the same. Anyway, in the end, they have to solve the stomach problem by themselves.

Even before, working hard and working hard, every day was only a pound of grain plus a dime. It was really not cost-effective to catch fish, but today this kind of harvest is impossible to have every day, after all, the fish in the river is limited.

"It's good, but this kind of good luck doesn't happen every day."

"Well, besides, it doesn't make sense to go to work and not go to work now. Maybe it won't take a few days, and the work will stop." Wang Jiandang sighed and said faintly.

In fact, this is a good thing. After all, no matter how hard they try, they can't stop the insects from eating the crops. Even if they continue to work, they are just catching some insects. The behavior gradually lost its meaning.

Before they went to work, they were full of interest, and they were also very active in the matter of deworming, but recently, they have become more and more lazy.

Many people now only have half of their labor force to work, and the rest of the people are picking wild goods in the mountains and taking them home. Even if they don’t go up the mountain, it is better to stay at home and consume less than to work, and in the end, they will not get anything. powerful.

As far as he knows, the old house and the third house are all taking turns to go to work now. As for the two old people in the family, they have been staying at home for a long time.

There were quite a lot of people working in the past, but recently it has become less and less. There are not even half of the people before. Regarding this, the chief of the village and the party secretary did not say anything. Basically, they acquiesced. The situation at home is similar.

Now he is thinking about whether he should go to work or not, but one person still has to go, and the other person can go to the mountains to get wild goods. Even if he brings more wild vegetables back to dry, it is still good. !
As for why one person should be left to go to work, not for anything else, but for the thousands of grains piled up in the village warehouse, he guessed, there should be seven or eight thousand catties, maybe ten thousand catties are not without, In short, now the villagers have turned their attention to there, which is also the reason why there are still people in the field who follow the team leader to work, and they are actively showing it!

"Ah, is the situation so bad now?" Pauline didn't expect to get to this point, but thinking about it carefully, she thought it was very reasonable.

After all, this work is also a waste of time, and the insects will not give them any possible opportunities. Like the leaves of wild vegetables, they basically grow out, and within three or five days, they will definitely be killed by the insects, and the seedlings in the ground are no exception.

The worms are about to get together, and there is nothing to grow in the ground, so I just watch and worry.

　I'm tired, but tomorrow will be four
