Lu Yao was taking care of her children at home. Seeing Zheng Weiguo coming over, Lu Yao happily trotted over, "Dad, you're here too!"
Knowing that her father was busy and could not leave the army at will, she did not tell him about the banquet.
Zheng Weiguo first took the child from her arms and smiled at her, "I haven't been busy recently. Jiajia knew that you were going back to your hometown to hold a banquet for the first grade of junior high school and clamored to come over, so I brought her over."
Zheng Jiajia came over and took Xiao Chu Yi away to play with her, and she did not forget to explain, "Yao Yao, my mother is taking care of Qiang Qiang at home, and my father and the others have to go to work, so they can't come over."
A day or two would be fine, but it would take three days to get back and forth from the capital. They still wanted to stay in Duanjiacun for a few days. They couldn't stop going back and forth for ten days. It was impossible for their employer to grant such a long vacation.
Lu Yao: "It's okay. Are you tired from the journey? Why don't you go to my room and take a nap?"
Zheng Jiajia lowered her head to see the little junior high school student squinting her eyes and about to fall asleep, "Obviously the room is somewhere, so I took the little junior high school student to sleep in her room."
Duan Mingming came over and said, "Jiajia, I'll take you there."
As soon as Zheng Jiajia left, Lu Yao looked at Zheng Weiguo and said, "Dad, go get some sleep too."
I must be tired after driving for so long.
Zheng Weiguo shook his head, "No, I'm not sleepy. Tang Long and I took turns resting on the way."
The room at home is only enough for one family, and now that so many people have been added, it will definitely not be able to accommodate them.
Duan Mingjie called Duan Mingcheng. His house had just been built and was just in time for his family to live in.
Duan Mingcheng thought for a moment and said, "Chief Zheng and the others are my siblings' natal family. It's not a good idea to live at my place. Let's let my mother and eldest brother bring their two children to my place. Zheng Jiajia can live in the same room as Mingming."
Duan Chengcai has only one sister-in-law at home. It is not suitable for him to live back home. It is best to live here.
Duan Mingjie nodded, "Okay, you can help clean up. Now that we are back, we will stay at home for a while."
Duan Mingcheng and his wife went to pack their things and finished it in the whole morning.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Jiajia stood up and said, "Uncle Third, let's drive to the woods to hunt! I haven't eaten rabbit meat for a long time. I can also catch fish. The river is not cold now, so it's comfortable to wade in the water!"
Lu Yao hadn't gone out for outdoor activities for a long time, and Zheng Jiajia said she felt itchy.
"Dad, let's take the first-year students there!"
Zheng Weiguo: "Then let's go catch fish first. Rabbits usually come out at night."
Zheng Jiajia jumped up happily, "Okay, okay, let's catch fish and make fish soup for dinner tonight!"
Duan Mingjie and Duan Mingcheng went to get fishing nets. There were only two fishing nets at home. Duan Mingjie turned over the nets and managed to make two, but there were still not enough for so many people.
The fishing net is very simple, just a strong stick tied with a leaking net.
Tang Long looked around and saw the iron fork on the courtyard wall. He walked over with long legs, picked it up in his hand, turned to Zheng Weiguo and said, "Brother, let's use this."
Zheng Jiajia's eyes lit up, she ran over and took the iron fork from Tang Long's hand, "I want to use this!"
Zheng Weiguo: "You use a fishing net, it's not safe."
Zheng Jiajia: "Third uncle, I want to use it too! This is fun!"
It is written in history books that people in ancient times used forks to fish in the river and hit them accurately every time.
She also wanted to play.
Zheng Weiguo: "I won't do it if I say no, don't be petty."
Solve it yourself and turned back in frustration.
Gu Fulan was left in the first grade of junior high school to take care of him, while Duan Mingjie led everyone out.
Not enough guys, Duan Minghua drove to town to buy iron forks.
In the late 1970s, the river water was still very clear, and there was not so much garbage. Many people would still search for food, wash clothes, and take a bath in the big pond.
But there are fewer people in the afternoon.
Duan Mingjie took them to the largest pond in the town. Although the pond was large, the river was not deep and the water in the pond was not flowing, so it was relatively safe.
As soon as she came to the pond, Zheng Jiajia ran over like a joyful child.
Duan Zhiwei and Duan Yanyan took Duan Mingming's hand and ran over.
Duan Mingjie held Lu Yao's hand and walked to the pond, "Daughter-in-law, are you sure you want to go down?"
Although Lu Yao had given birth for more than half a year, Duan Mingjie still felt that she was weak and had not recovered. He was a little worried that the cold water in the pond had reached Lu Yao.
"Of course I'm going down!" As she said that, Lu Yao took off her sandals neatly, kicked off her pink-white feet, and kicked off her shoes. She turned to Duan Mingjie and said, "I don't know how many times I will come back during the summer vacation. There are no conditions for coming back during the New Year." Catch fish.”
The river will freeze in winter.
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips and handed her the fishing net, "Let's go."
Lu Yao stepped on the soft soil and stretched out her arms to hug Duan Mingjie's waist, "Let's catch more fish and we can have an extra plate of fish fillets at noon tomorrow!"
Duan Mingjie nodded helplessly, "Okay."
Zheng Jiajia shouted to this side at this time, "Yao Yao, come here quickly, don't get tired of your man!"
Lu Yao quickly let go of Duan Mingjie's waist and held the fishing net, "I'm leaving!"
Duan Mingjie followed behind.
Lu Yao tentatively went in with one foot first. The river water was warm, so Lu Yao ventured in. Duan Mingjie held her arm, fearing that she would fall.
Lu Yao shook off his hand and said, "Go play with Ren Zhe and the others. Don't follow me all the time."
"I'll send you there before I go."
Lu Yao did not refute him and allowed him to send her to Duan Mingming and Zheng Jiajia.
Duan Mingjie looked at Duan Mingming, "Watch your sister-in-law, don't let her fall."
Lu Yao blushed and pushed him with both hands, "You should leave quickly."
At this time, Duan Minghua came back and bought five iron forks.
Seeing Duan Minghua, Duan Zhiwei and Duan Yanyan wanted to go with their father.
Duan Mingjie bent down and picked up Duan Yanyan, looked down at Duan Zhiwei, "Follow me."
Duan Mingming helped Lu Yao to her side, "Sister-in-law, there are no fish here, let's go over there and have a look."
"Walk!"
The water in the pond is very clear, and you can see if there are any fish at a glance.
The three girls changed positions several times without seeing any fish. Suddenly, there was a burst of excitement over there.
"Third uncle is so awesome!"
Lu Yao looked at the source of the sound and saw Duan Yanyan raising her little hands to clap, and Duan Mingjie holding an iron fork with two red fish on it.
Duan Mingjie took the fish off and put it into the bamboo basket.
Zheng Jiajia was so angry that she said, "Duan Mingjie is so annoying!"
Lu Yao was very proud, "My man is very powerful!"
Zheng Jiajia glared at her, "No, there are no fish here. Let's go to the front and have a look."
Duan Mingming frowned, "We can't go any further, the water ahead is too deep."
Zheng Jiajia: "The three of us will be fine together. There are more fish when the water is deeper. We can't lose to Duan Mingjie and the others."
With that said, Zheng Jiajia pulled Lu Yao and Duan Mingming forward.
The more Lu Yao walked, the deeper she felt the water became. Just now the water reached her thighs, but now it was about to reach her waist.
She stopped immediately, "No, we can't go any further."
Suddenly, Duan Mingjie's anxious voice came from behind, "Yaoyao, stop!"
Lu Yao wanted to turn around and tell Duan Mingjie immediately, but she couldn't lift her feet several times, as if she was sinking deeper and deeper.
