"Um."
Li Shiqiang smiled and nodded, feeling a little sour in his heart.
After being reborn, he saw his sister hungry for food several times.
Although everyone looked sallow and thin these days, he really couldn't bear to see his two sisters continue to lose weight like this.
He didn't have time to pack some game yesterday, so he had to find a way to improve the food at home today.
Now that all the adults in the family have gone to work, he can't leave his younger brothers and sisters to guard the house. He goes up the mountain alone, so he simply goes to catch some fish and bring it back to eat.
In Li Shiqiang's memory, the most delicious fish is their yellow spicy diced fish.
After preparing the herbs with the third child, Li Shiping, he carried a bamboo bag and a hand-made net and went out to the river ditch at the foot of the mountain.
Jinsha Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and at the foot of the mountains is a ditch that flows into the Minjiang River.
As soon as Li Shiqiang arrived at the foot of the mountain, he saw an extremely eye-catching house.
This house has five rooms, not only two more rooms than the Li family, but it is also covered with large blue tiles on the roof.
This is the house of Huang's family, the party secretary of Jinsha Village, which is also Huang Yun's home.
Upon seeing this, Li Shiqiang inevitably sighed a little in his heart.
I haven’t seen each other for decades. I wonder how he is doing now?
He hesitated, and instead of running to meet her now, he came to the edge of the river with a bamboo bag on his back.
At this time, the sky was just right.
A large swath of sunlight poured down on the turbulent river, and the sound of the river flowing on the pebbles made Li Shiqiang feel relaxed and happy in an instant.
After moving away from the countryside in my previous life, I haven't felt so free for a long time.
Although the living conditions in the city are good, they are still not as good as those in the countryside.
In the countryside, if you want to eat fish, you go to the river to fish. If you want to eat eggs, you go to the trees to fish for bird eggs. When the weather is hot, you go to the river to swim...
Li Shiqiang came to the edge of the river, first put down his things, and then directly picked up the river water and took a few sips.
At this time, the river water alone was already comparable to the mineral water in future generations.
After drinking the sweet river water, Li Shiqiang walked into a ditch with bare feet.
Yellow spicy ding, also known as Ga fish, Huang Guzi, and Angshen fish, is a very common freshwater fish, and it is also a very delicious freshwater fish. Whether it is used to fry tofu, or wrapped in a layer of flour and thrown into a pan , all very delicious.
However, this kind of fish has relatively high requirements for water quality, and in later generations it has become less and less due to various water pollution.
Li Shiqiang was barefoot, lifted up his trouser legs, stepped on the pebbles to the river, gently moved the big pebbles away, and immediately a scaleless, slippery yellow pepper with thorns on both sides of its mouth came out.
If it were any other fish, he would have reached out and caught it directly, but the thorns on Huang Lading's mouth would still hurt a bit.
So Li Shiqiang directly picked up a hand-made net, netted it up with one hand, and threw it into the bamboo bag.
Yellow peppers are usually nocturnal. If you want to catch them during the day, you have to move rocks by the river or look for them in aquatic plants.
After grabbing for a while by the river, Li Shiqiang's bamboo pocket was almost half full.
In addition to yellow pepper dices, there are also some crucian carp, loach, and eel, one by two with their big tails flapping in the bamboo pocket.
In less than a morning, the bamboo pocket is basically full.
Li Shiqiang was too lazy to catch it later. He first placed the bamboo bag containing the fish directly by the river, and then lay down directly in the shade by the river to sleep.
Such comfortable weather and environment are so comfortable that people feel a little sleepy.
...
"Two pots, two pots..."
The sleepy Li Shiqiang opened his eyes and saw a big black buffalo standing in the ditch.
The fourth child, Li Shimei, was lying on the big buffalo, staring at him with a cheerful expression.
"Erguo, why are you sleeping in again!"
Listening to Xuemei's crisp shout, Li Shiqiang smiled unconsciously: "I came here specially to catch fish for you to eat, and you still said that I was sleeping?"
"Yeah! Erguo, did you catch fish?"
"Come on, show me how many you caught?"
Li Shimei, who looked excited, sat up and looked around him expectantly.
Li Shiqiang stood up proudly and went to the ditch to lift the bamboo basket.
"Wow! Erguo!"
"You caught so many fish?"
Looking at the basket full of fish, Li Shimei was so happy that she jumped up from the cow's back.
After all, if you want to eat meat these days, you almost have to wait until the Chinese New Year. It is basically very difficult to eat meat in normal times.
"There's something for you to eat tonight!"
Li Shiqiang pulled a few reeds from the river and rubbed them, then took some yellow pepper diced skewers from his backpack and skewered them. Then he carried the basket to the big buffalo and said, "Take the remaining fish back with you."
"Got it!"
Li Shimei happily held the bamboo basket in her arms and patted the big buffalo: "Erhei, let's go! Go home!"
After the big buffalo left with Xuemei, Li Shiqiang walked to Huang Yun's home carrying the bunch of yellow spicy dices.
But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, he saw a woman in her fifties walking out with an unhappy look on her face. As she walked, she said to her behind her: "Sister, you have to tell your third child that you are so old." You don’t understand anything at all! Then the Xie family’s conditions are so good, so just marry the third child and just enjoy the blessings.”
"Yes, Sister Hua, I'll tell the third child when I get back that it's time to get married as soon as possible!"
Behind the old woman was a middle-aged woman who was nearly forty years old, and she was also speaking slightly complaining at this time.
When Li Shiqiang at the door heard this, he immediately knew what was going on.
Huang Yun is well-known in Jinsha Village, and even many young men in the commune are interested in her and want to take her home as their wife.
In her previous life, Huang Yun originally fell in love with Li Shiqiang and planned to marry him.
However, something happened to Li Shiqiang's father. As a result, the Li family was not only unable to pay the bride price, but Li Shiqiang also had to observe filial piety.
Finally, Huang Yun married Xie Laosan from the commune.
Li Shiqiang had also heard of Xie Laosan. His mother was the deputy director of the commune, his father was the field director of the Forestry Bureau, and he himself also worked and drove in the Forestry Bureau.
The Xie family's conditions in all aspects are undoubtedly excellent, and Huang Yun has indeed enjoyed a lot of blessings just after she married.
But within two years, Xie Laosan had an accident while driving in a forest farm. He and the car rolled over into a ravine, leaving Huang Yun as a widow.
After Huang Yun became a widow, the fourth son of the Xie family fell in love with her and wanted her to marry him.
Huang Yun will definitely not do this kind of thing, and the Xie parents don't want to see this kind of thing happen.
But it turns out that Xie Laosi is a free-spirited person. I heard that one time when there was no one at home, he decided to use force to make a cooked meal out of raw rice.
Huang Yun, on the other hand, would rather die than surrender, and finally committed suicide with scissors.
This is why Li Shiqiang must marry Huang Yun after returning to 1979 and saving his father.
Not only for the sake of his own happy marriage, but also for saving Huang Yun.
