Back to the 1990s: Holding the spiritual spring and striving for a well-off life

Chapter 407 What a pity
And when asking for help, shouldn't we have a good attitude? They need Lu Xiaozhi's care, shouldn't they treat Lu Xiaozhi better?
Now that Lu Xiaozhi is gone, they have no one to rely on. The village can only ensure that they don't starve to death and arrange people to take care of them, but that is impossible. Who will take care of them without paying?

They are exactly like Hua Tiefeng. They don't even know what attitude to use when asking for help from others.

Jian Nan put his hands on Hua Xiali's shoulders, turned her around, facing him, and said with a smile, "Our children will look like you and will be very beautiful."

Hua Xiali smiled embarrassedly and pushed him away, then the two of them walked along the narrow path in the bamboo forest. The bamboos were very tall and could block some of the strong light, so it was not particularly hot.

After walking around and returning to this place, Hua Xiali said with a smile, "I can fish with my hands. Do you want me to show you?"

"Okay!" Jian Nan nodded with a smile.

After reaching the dam, Hua Xiali did not go back to the other side, but squatted down directly, put his hand into the water, released the spiritual spring water, and waved his fingers. Soon, fish swam towards this side.

Jian Nan widened his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect that he could fish with his bare hands!

When the fish swam to Hua Xiali's hand, Hua Xiali quickly reached out and grabbed the fish's chin, then quickly lifted the fish out of the water and looked at Jian Nan with a smile, "How is it? Without a fish hook or bait, I can catch a fish with my hands."

"Wife, you are really amazing. I admire you so much." Afraid that Yu'er would break free from Hua Xiali's hands, Jian Nan quickly reached out and hugged Yu'er, then quickly ran to the other side.

The people who were fishing under the trees on the shore were also shocked to see Hua Xiali catch such a big fish with just her hands. They didn't expect that the fish she caught with her bare hands were bigger than the ones they caught.

"Second sister, you are so amazing!" Hua Qiuli ran over to see the big fish and was shocked. "Second sister, could it be that all the fish we ate before were caught by you using this method?"

Hua Xiali shook his head in amusement, "Of course not. It's impossible to catch fish every time. I was lucky today to catch one."

Afterwards, Hua Xiali said to Jian Nan, "You can go fishing with them. I'll go to the river to get some freshwater clams and cook clam meat for everyone tomorrow."

Jian Nan can't swim, otherwise Hua Xiali would not have saved his life many years ago.

Jian Nan was a little afraid of water. Whenever there was a large area of ​​water, he would feel nervous just standing by and watching. So he had no way to help Hua Xiali with this matter, but he could ask others for help. So Jian Nan kicked a young man who could swim and said, "Go to the river and get some freshwater clams for your sister-in-law."

"What are freshwater clams?" the man was confused.

"Wait until your sister-in-law comes up and touches one, then you'll know." Jian Nan said.

Hua Xiali walked to the middle of the dam and dived directly into it. He swam around in it as nimbly as a fish, and then sank to the bottom of the water. After a while, he came up with two large freshwater clams. He placed the clams on the shore, and then Hua Xiali returned to the water.

She swam in the water while releasing the spiritual spring water, and the fish that swam towards her were also caught by her directly. Jian Nan loved that freshwater clam and took it to her relatives, "This is it."

"Got it." The young man responded and jumped directly into the water. Hua Xiali heard a 'splash' and knew that someone had gone into the water, so he didn't dare to act recklessly anymore. Instead, he concentrated on feeling for freshwater clams at the bottom of the water. When he found one, he would bring it up so that he could breathe some fresh air.

The two people worked together and it didn't take long for them to catch hundreds of freshwater clams. They really didn't expect that there would be so many in this area. How many must there be in the entire river!
There were too many freshwater clams, and everyone's wooden barrels were filled with fish, so there was no way to take the freshwater clams back. Hua Xiali and the young man had to go back to change clothes and then bring things to take the freshwater clams back.

Hua Xiali took a few bags of fertilizer and set off pushing a wooden cart. Hundreds of freshwater clams were not light in weight. Even if one weighed only one kilogram, it would still be several hundred kilograms. What's more, some of the big ones weighed several kilograms!

Everyone put the freshwater clams into bags, and then put the fish they caught into the bags. They tied the bags tightly, put the bags onto a wooden cart, and then everyone pushed the cart back.

They go back from upstream and don't have to pass through the village, so naturally not many people will see them. Even if people living in the same row see them, they can just say that they dug sand from the river bend.

After pushing the wooden cart into the yard, everyone moved the heavy bags to the backyard, took out the fish, and poured the freshwater clams into the wooden basin. Their own wooden basins were not enough, so they took a few from their third and fourth uncles' homes, and kept the freshwater clams in them for a day to let them spit out the mud and sand, so that they could be eaten the next day.

"Everyone has worked hard today, let's take a good rest!" Hua Xiali walked to the dining table and took cups to pour water for everyone.

Jian Nan came over and took the glass water bottle from Hua Xiali. "You've worked hard in the river to find freshwater clams. Go and take a rest. Let me, who has done nothing, do the rest!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. Remember to bring the watermelons out of the well and cut them for everyone later." Hua Xiali patted Jian Nan's shoulder with a smile, then sat down on the sofa and started chatting with everyone.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"I'm a little tired after just coming back. I'll deal with the big fish I caught later." Hua Xiali sat on the sofa and said with a smile, "I'll make you a fish dish that you've never eaten before tonight. How about that?"

After hearing this, Jian Nan's relatives nodded repeatedly and were almost drooling with greed.

With such delicious food, they all wanted to stay here.

Jian Nan quickly brought tea to everyone, then cut the watermelon and placed it on the coffee table. After finishing his work, he sat down next to Hua Xiali, gave Hua Xiali a slice of watermelon, and took a slice for himself and started eating.

A few young people who had "never seen the world" were sighing as they ate, they didn't expect that not only the food in their family was delicious, but even the watermelon was so delicious.

Among them, a young man named Su Mingyi asked Hua Qiuli, "Qiuli, where did you buy your watermelons?"

"I didn't buy it. These watermelons were planted in the yard by my second sister when she came back to plant sugarcane in the spring. There are few people in our family and not all of them are at home, so we only planted a few square meters of watermelons. The watermelon yield is quite high, and there are still quite a few watermelons. If you like to eat them, I will pick two for each of you when you leave." Hua Qiuli said.
