Chapter 273 Going to the river with my little brother

As soon as it got light, Yuan Bao picked up the tools he had prepared last night and said to Xu Liudi, "Mother, I'm going to play by the river!"

The ice and snow accumulated in the winter has completely melted, and now is the best time to go looking for things in the river.

Xu Liudi was a little worried when she saw that she didn't even have the Jin Ju Bao and Jin Fu Bao on her feet. She obviously wanted to go alone. "It's not safe for your little girl to go to the river alone. Mom, please go with you."

Yuan Bao shook his head and refused, "Mother, I went with my little brother. Don't worry, and I can swim, so I won't be drowned! You'd better rest at home and don't get exhausted."

In the past, my mother always put her head into the water tank. Over time, she learned how to hold her breath, and she often went to the mountain stream with the cats to bathe. Swimming was not a difficult thing for her. .

After Yuan Bao finished explaining, he went to the river to meet Pei Yu, who had arrived early, and ate two pastries made of mint.

"Little brother, look, there are small fishes! Let's catch them and fry them with oil, and then sprinkle them with salt noodles. They are crispy and delicious!"

The river water in spring was very clear, and all the fish and shrimps in the water were invisible. Yuanbao noticed it at a glance.

Pei Yu followed Yuan Bao's example and rolled up his trousers, took off his boots, and stepped into the cold river water with his white feet, which made him shiver from the cold.

"Do you want to fish with this?" Pei Yu asked, shaking the colander in his hand.

Yuan Bao nodded, "Yeah, like me, take your time... and catch it! Hehe! Look, little brother, there are so many small fish!"

"I'll give it a try." It was the first time for Pei Yu to experience the wild fun of fishing in the countryside, and his face turned red with joy.

After a long time of hard work, we only caught two fish in total. Looking at Yuanbao's small wooden bucket, there were all fish the size of your thumb. If you fry them in a pan, they can hold a whole plate.

Due to the famine years, it didn't rain and people didn't farm. In addition to children grazing cows and playing by the river, you could also see women washing clothes.

"Look at this little Yuanbao from the Jin family. How much fun he has with the newly moved boy Pei. He is not a simple man at first glance. He knows how to capture a man's heart at a young age. When he grows up, he will marry into a high-class compound. It’s in.”

"From the Feng family, you have shit stuck between your teeth. You two little babies were playing together, and you thought about that. Your Tiedan is holding hands with Cuihua from the next village, right? What, you two? Has the child’s marriage been decided?”

"Bah, bah, bah, your son just got engaged to Cuihua. That damn girl's father is a gambler. If you have such an in-law, wouldn't you be attracting leeches? Don't talk nonsense."

"You were the one who started talking nonsense. The Jin family donated all the yam fields they found and called on the whole village to dig them. It's not just to make you feel full. It's not here to make up the disputes and gossips of the little girl of the Jin family! "

When the Feng family heard this, they babbled unhappily.

"She is not a little girl of the Jin family. She is just picked up and raised. No one wants her."

But the Feng family's daughter-in-law didn't dare to say this too loudly, and just washed her clothes quietly to avoid being attacked by the villagers.

Yuanbao has a good hearing and picked up these gossips, but she and her little brother are not afraid of the shadows. They are pure good partners. Let others think whatever they want!

What she wants to do most now is to grow yams and potatoes to feed her family. How can she have time to think about what other people think?

"Little brother! Look, it's a snail!" While bending down to catch small fish, Yuan Bao found round things clinging to the stones in the river.

Yuan Bao reached out and grabbed one and put it in front of him to see, it turned out to be a snail.
