The sun was shining brightly at noon, and Fu Jingyou and the boys in the team brought two oxcarts back from the brigade.

He Hongjin ordered people to put buckets on the bullock cart, and put three hundred kilograms of fish into more than a dozen buckets.

Counting the ox carts in the team, there are exactly three ox carts.

After the meal was ready, Lu Miao walked out slowly, preparing to call He Hongjin and Fu Jingyou to come back for dinner first.

As a result, these two people came back first, sweating profusely.

Lu Miao stepped aside:
  "Uncle, it's time to eat."

"Hey, hey."

He Hongjin hurriedly responded and quickly walked into the house to the kitchen.

"Mother, hurry up and fill me with a bottle of water. I'm going to the county right away..."

He Hongjin's face turned black and oily due to the heat.

Fu Jingyou, who came in behind, was not much better.

The originally healthy and wild wheat-colored skin was slightly reddened by the sun, making it look darker.

He Hongjin buried his head in the kitchen, while Fu Jingyou turned slightly and approached Lu Miao.

"Are you tired from walking around today? Are your legs still swollen?"

"Swollen."

Lu Miao nodded and said truthfully:
  "But not tired."

You sit everywhere and don't have to do anything, so what's there to be tired of?

Fu Jingyou's face was so dark that it made people feel hot just by looking at it.

He is tall, so Lu Miao can barely reach his forehead.

Now that her belly was so big, she didn't dare to stand on tiptoes, let alone reach it.

Lu Miao took advantage of the situation and touched his smooth and strong arms:

"Is it hot? Wear a hat."

"Ah."

Fu Jingyou smiled and nodded.

He Hongjin stood in the kitchen, craned his neck and shouted:

"Xiao Liu, what are you doing? Come quickly and make two rice dumplings to eat on the road. It's hot and the fish can't be kept in the bucket, so we have to send it to the county quickly!"

"Ang...here he came."

He grabbed Lu Miao's hand and kissed her palm without telling the elders.

Fu Jingyou led Lu Miao towards the kitchen.

Lu Miao raised her chin and kept telling him:
  "My hat is on the big table in the main room. You can wear mine."

Fu Jingyou nodded, "Okay."

Lu Miao's hat has a wide brim, which is considered a proper ladies' hat in later generations.

Even if we don't care about men's and women's styles now, if a serious man wears her hat, it will probably look a bit "feminine".

Fu Jingyou doesn't care about that.

In his heart, everything about Lu Miao was good.

Lu Miao's stuff.

Lu Miao's instructions.

Lu Miao emphasized.

Everything……

All because he is her husband, he has the privilege to enjoy and get it.

What is girly or not? How many people want it but don’t have it yet.

"Is there anything you want? Come back and bring it back to you."

"I want you to come back soon."

"okay."

"I still want to drink orange soda like last time."

"Okay, I'll buy them all for you."

He Hongjin and Fu Jingyou didn't eat a bite of the fried crucian carp for lunch, so they took a cold well water to take a shower.

Chen Guifen shoveled the steamed sweet potatoes and rice crispy rice balls and kneaded them together. Each of them kneaded a large piece of multigrain rice ball.

The two of them carried the old-fashioned water bags at home and hurriedly went out with rice balls.

There were a total of ten people in the team.

Fu Jingyou has a bicycle and is responsible for going to the county first to spread the news and let the county prepare.

Among the other nine people, three are responsible for driving the bus.

Six people are equipped with two beside each vehicle.

Keep an eye on it at all times to prevent fish from jumping out, and to prevent the bucket from sliding off the car. The men drove the bullock carts out of the production team. At home, Lu Miao had just sat down at the table, holding her belly.

"Auntie, I won't eat rice and sweet potatoes. Is there any porridge? I'll drink some rice soup."

"Rice soup makes you full. If you should eat seriously, you still have to eat..."

Chen Guifen said angrily:
  "Auntie, give me some. There is fish on the table today. It's your first time to eat Auntie's fried fish, right? Eat some rice to taste, and then drink rice soup later."

"Well... that's fine!"

Lu Miao nodded.

Chen Guifen brought her half a bowl of rice.

Brown rice has been soaked in advance and is not as hard, but it is definitely not as soft and fragrant as polished rice.

This is already the best fine grain in the village. Of course Lu Miao won't say anything.

But there is one thing to say, the crucian carp fried by Chen Guifen is really delicious.

Less oil was used, the surface of the crucian carp was browned, and the fins and tail were still a little burnt.

But for some reason, Lu Miao felt it smelled good when she looked at it and smelled it when she smelled it.

After taking a bite, it tastes even more delicious.

She has a picky mouth and won't eat many things.

For example, eat fish but not the skin.

When eating chicken, we don’t eat solid chunks of meat, but only parts with movable joints, bones, etc.

But the fish on the table today is an exception.

The fish skin is crispy and crispy, and most of the water in the fish meat is lost during slow frying over low heat. The fish meat is sweet and firm...

delicious.

The only bad thing is that crucian carp has a little too many small spines.

Lu Miao spit out the thorns while eating.

Chen Guifen looked at her with a smile, and seeing that she loved to eat, she spared some time in the afternoon to kill the other two crucian carps at home.

Make a few cuts on both sides of the fish, sprinkle a little salt on it and spread it evenly, then put it through a small sieve and place it on the manhole cover in the backyard.

Dry and dry in the sun.

This small fish is best eaten marinated and fried.

In summer, you can eat it if you put it in the sun for an afternoon or a morning.

When the weather is cold, it's worth drying for a while and eating at the same time.

The crucian carp Lu Miao had for lunch was still the most delicious.

The crucian carp she ate didn't have time to be dried, so it was only salted for a while and sanded to release some of the water.

If it has been dried in the sun, the fried fish will be firmer and more fragrant.

Chen Guifen had something on her mind and her hands became more and more busy.

Lu Miao is really squeamish, and she rarely catches her eye.

Now that she finally had something that could make her eat two more bites, Chen Guifen couldn't wait to use all her skills.

Let’s talk about Lu Miao.

After lunch at He's house, she rested on the bamboo bed in the main room.

Listening to Tang Mei and Chen Guifen chatting until two or three o'clock, the sun outside was no longer so fierce. She sat up from the bed drowsily and shouted to go back.

"It's almost time for them to come back from the county,"

Chen Guifen persuaded:

"You stay a little longer and have dinner together at night before going back."

Lu Miao shook his head, his chin slightly tensed to show the lines of peach pits, and there was a hint of childlike temper in his confession:
  "No, aunt, I can't stand it here. It's okay to sit there for a while, but I won't be able to stay for a long time."

Chen Guifen had no choice but to laugh at her:

"You kid..."

Lu Miao also smiled: "I'll come back tomorrow!"

"Okay, let's go!"

Tang Mei took the cloth bag and led Lu Miao out.

Chen Guifen followed.

"In-laws, Miao Yatou, please slow down and come and sit down when you have time. We are all a family. We don't care about anything else. We don't want to be separated."

"Don't worry, her aunt, the sun is strong outside, please go inside and sit down!"

"Hey, hey..."

Chen Guifen responded, but she was holding the door of the courtyard.

One foot inside the door and one foot outside the door watched Tang Mei and Lu Miao walk away before turning around and entering the house.
