Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 13 Mom, I'm really awesome today
"I'll tell you the truth. These wild carps in my house were really caught by the river."

"But you need to know how to fish for them, otherwise you will return empty-handed like you did today."

"Is this true?" Fatty was stunned.

After all, Xiao Nuomi and Liu Hongxia could lie to him, but Liu Qingsong, as his brother, had no need to lie to him.

"Of course it's true!" The youngest sister stamped her feet and said angrily, "I'm not afraid to tell you that Xiao Nuomi caught a big crucian carp this morning!"

"But it has been eaten by me." Little Nuomi said as he started searching on the ground: "If you don't believe me... I can find the bones of the foot fish and show them to you."

Fatty: “…”

Several friends: "..."

They saw that Yaomei and Xiao Nuomi were not joking at all, and after they came to their senses, they turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong called out to Fatty, then took out two spicy fish from the dustpan and handed them to him: "Take this back and eat it, and then say hello to your father for me."

As for the other children.

He didn't give me the spicy fish.

It's not like he treats people differently.

Instead, Pangdun's family is his neighbor.

She was very good to him and his youngest sister when his family was in trouble.

If there is anything delicious, it will be delivered to him as soon as possible. If help is needed, Pangdun's father "Wang Yaoqing" will also come to help as soon as possible.

And the kind without any complaints.

It was when my parents were arrested.

Wang Yaoqing and his uncle, third uncle and other members of the Liu family.

He was also running around to help and rescue people.

Under such circumstances, he would naturally not be stingy when he had spicy fish to eat.

Although Fatty was young, he understood what Liu Qingsong meant. After scratching his head in embarrassment, he took the spicy fish with a simple smile and said, "Brother, I was wrong before. I shouldn't have troubled my little sister."

"It's okay. We are all neighbors. I won't argue with you about this." Liu Qingsong said with a smile, "Besides, it's normal for you to be angry because you didn't catch any fish."

"Brother, are you going to the river to fish tomorrow?" Fatty asked, raising his little fat head.

What he meant was that he wanted to go fishing with Liu Qingsong.

"I don't know either! Let's talk about it later!" Liu Qingsong said perfunctorily.

He had to be perfunctory. He couldn't let anyone know that he took out the bait from the garbage dump of all worlds, and he couldn't let anyone get suspicious.

"Oh! Then I'll go back!" Pangdun held the spicy fish, turned around and ran towards the door of his house.

Liu Qingsong smiled at the scene and was about to go to the kitchen to continue cooking dinner when Little Nuomi ran towards the winding mountain road not far away, cheering: "Mom, Mom..."

"Run slower." Seeing this, Liu Chunhua on the mountain trail quickly stretched out her hands and hugged Xiao Nuomi: "Why are you running so fast? Aren't you afraid of falling?"

"Hehe... It's okay, I won't fall." Little Nuomi hugged Liu Chunhua's neck with a smile, and then said in a baby voice: "Mom, you know what! I... I'm really good today!"

"Well, it's just a little bit smaller than the nest." The youngest sister at the side said.

"Really?" Liu Chunhua laughed out loud. After putting down the little glutinous rice in her hand, she looked at Liu Qingsong who was walking over and asked, "What did you take them to do today?"

"Come with me." Liu Qingsong led him to the kitchen.

"Hehe..." Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei held Liu Chunhua's hand and followed behind with their short legs.

Soon, the group arrived at the kitchen door.

When Liu Chunhua saw the three baskets of spicy tilapia, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes widened: "Qingsong, don't tell me that you caught all these tilapia today?"

"Yes, we caught it." Liu Qingsong corrected, "And there's also some for Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei."

"Mom, I'm telling you, I was awesome today. I caught a lot of fish, including a big-footed fish! But I've already caught all of them!" Little Nuomi gestured with her hands and said vividly. "Is that true?" Liu Chunhua looked at Liu Qingsong in astonishment.

"It's true. I've already pickled the fish for you. You can take it home and eat it later, big sister." Liu Qingsong said this and walked into the kitchen. Then he pointed to the big grass carp, river carp, and river crucian carp in the large water tank and said, "You can also take some of these fish home."

"After all, many of these fish were caught by Xiao Nuomi."

"Then I can't take it either." Liu Chunhua gasped as she looked at the big grass carp in the big water tank: "If we take such a good thing back, Xiao Nuomi and I won't get much."

As for the reason.

She didn't elaborate.

But Liu Qingsong heard it, and said: "Sister, your parents-in-law don't like you, you can tell your brother-in-law that you can separate from the family and start your own business like other brothers!"

If you set up your own business.

How can my parents-in-law have any control over the things we bring back?

"You think I don't want to!" Liu Chunhua sighed, "But the problem is that your brother-in-law is a blockhead. He always thinks that living together can help him take care of his stupid brother. What can I do if he disagrees? Besides, I gave birth to a daughter as my first child..."

To prevent little Nuomi from hearing it.

Liu Chunhua stopped talking here.

Liu Qingsong did not ask any further questions. After all, he was a reborn person and knew his elder sister's difficulties and helplessness.

So I changed the subject immediately: "Then I'd better take some spicy fish back to my brother-in-law, right?"

"That's great." Liu Chunhua nodded, then rolled up her sleeves and helped to cook. "By the way, Qingsong, I didn't come here to pick up Xiao Nuomi today. I want you to help take care of her for a few more days. I have to go out to work and pick tea seeds with everyone else. I'll get a few kilograms of tea oil for you to drink."

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Qingsong agreed readily.

But he had no hope at all of eating tea oil.

As for the reason, it was obvious that he knew that his eldest sister's parents-in-law would not allow it. After all, tea oil was very expensive in 1978, and one pound of it could almost buy two or three pounds of pork.

……

Because the fire in the wood stove is very big.

Half an hour later, a big pot of rice was ready.

As for the dishes, Liu Qingsong did not cook them. Instead, he directly put five or six spicy fish in the first bowl and brought them to the eight-immortal table in the main hall. He also picked up some pickled mustard from the jar, and regarded it as a side dish for dinner.

Liu Qingshi, Liu Qinglong, Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei did not look at the two side dishes with disgust at all. Instead, they happily each picked up a spicy fish and some pickled mustard and went to eat under the eaves at the gate.

The reason why we have to eat under the eaves.

That's because the sun has set and the light in the main room is a little dim.

The entire Huajiao Production Brigade had no electricity in 1978, so eating out was the best option.

Liu Chunhua was watching this scene and was about to move a stool to eat under the eaves. On the winding mountain road diagonally opposite, Liu Lijuan came back with a hoe on her shoulder and tired steps.

"Second sister..." Seeing this, the youngest sister went up to her with her bowl of rice in her hand.

"Second sister, you're back just in time. Today we have rice and spicy fish soup." Liu Qinglong also greeted happily.

"Yeah," Liu Lijuan nodded, with no expression on her face. After putting the hoe on her shoulder under the eaves, she turned around and went to the kitchen to wash her hands and feet.

"Second sister, what's wrong with you?" Liu Qingsong was stunned and asked with concern.

Liu Chunhua, Liu Qingshi and Xiao Nuomi were also a little confused.

After all, Liu Lijuan is not like this usually.
