Chapter 87: Is it enough for my wife?

The pond in Shisong Village is dry, and even though it is almost noon now, there are still many people sucking fish in the pond.

Li Dahu was afraid that if he went too late, he would have no fish.

Cheng Huai picked up the mud inside, turned around and looked at Jiang Miao and said, "You wait a little longer, we will go together after we have done it."

"Well, I'll wash the bamboo cages to the dry." Jiang Miao nodded and carried the bamboo cages he bought in the morning to the small yard behind to wash.

The two stoves can be cooked today and left for four or five days to dry. Then you can boil the fire and steam the buns.

A jar of water was fed in the yard. It was picked by Cheng Huai yesterday and is now just for washing things.

The cage cloth placed on the bamboo cage was also bought back, all of which were cut, costing five cents per piece of cloth, and bought a total of thirty yuan, and the ginger seedlings cut at a price of ten cents.

Wash the bamboo cage and cage cloth, and Cheng Huai and Li Dahu in the house also completely prepared the stove. Two large stoves are specially used to hold large pots and bear loads.

It won't rain this time. The bamboo cages and cage cloth are placed directly in the yard to dry. Just pack them in the house by tomorrow morning.

Holding a straw hat on Jiang Miao, Cheng Huai turned around and locked the door of the bun shop, and then went out with Li Dahu with a wooden barrel.

Thinking that he would make some meat buns to sell tomorrow, Jiang Miao went to the pork stall first.

There are about ten kilograms of meat on the stall, and it is estimated that it will not be sold for long. "Uncle, I want three kilograms of pork. Can we wait and get it?"

Cheng Huai said that there are many people catching fish in the pond, so it is not convenient to bring a few kilograms of pork over there.

"I'll close the stall after the sale is finished. Big girl, don't wait for my house to get it. My family is in Shisong Village, and it's the third one after entering the village." The butcher said with a smile.

Jiang Miao nodded and was about to go to Shisong Village. "Okay, let's wait and find you."

"If you want it, keep the meat for you." Weigh three pounds of pork and put it on the side.

Jiang Miao paid the money, but she was not afraid that the other party would be sluggish. After all, she still had too many business to do in the future, and she was clear about her business.

When I bought the meat, I arrived in Shisong Village, many men and children caught fish barefoot in the pond.

Li Dahu took off his shoes by the pond, rolled up his trousers and carried the wooden barrel down.

Cheng Huai put the wooden barrel next to Jiang Miao, bent down to tie the legs of his trousers, and Jiang Miao lowered his head to help him roll up his sleeves.

The man's wheat-colored strong arms were exposed, because he bent over and his head was close to Jiang Miao, and his face was filled with a hot breath.

Jiang Miao wiped him sweat with a veil, "Cheng Huai, do you want to wear a straw hat?"

"No, it's easy to get dirty." The man turned his head and looked at the young wife's face. He was particularly fair and pretty in the sun. "If it's too hot, go to hide under the eaves. We will come back when we catch the fish."

Jiang Miao responded with a smile, and soon Cheng Huai took the wooden barrel to the pond.

In addition to a little water in the middle, the area around the pond is full of wet soil, the surface is yellow, and it turns out black mud if you step on it.

There are many people, and occasionally fish jump out, and then they will be taken away immediately.

Jiang Miao looked at Cheng Huai. The rough man still looked tall and mighty among the crowd. He looked focused and serious when catching fish, as if he was doing something extremely serious.

After a while, Li Dahu came over with a small bucket of fish and shrimps, "Sister-in-law, Brother Cheng asked you if you want snails? If you want it, he will touch it more."

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, "You can touch whatever you can eat."

The snails are good or delicious.

Li Dahu nodded, "I'll go and talk to Brother Cheng."

Cheng Huai had already touched the other side of the river. He mixed the mud, fish and shrimp in the wooden barrel, and he couldn't tell how much he had caught, but he just looked at a lot.

Jiang Miao stood patiently by the pond and waited, and then she heard a couple quarrel behind her.

"I said I don't want snails, I don't want snails. I want you to touch two fish but I can't touch them."

"Isn't this a little fish? The big fish has been taken away long ago. Could it be that I will make it bigger for you?"

Jiang Miao turned her head and saw the middle-aged man holding half a bucket of snails in his hand. He was quite big.

"How could other people touch it? You are still in a hurry when you say you can't do it." The woman said depressedly.

Seeing the man walking towards him carrying two big fish in the bucket, the middle-aged man's voice became a little softer: "There are also meat in the snails, have you touched two loaches?"

The woman stopped talking, just looked at the fish in other people's buckets, and was slightly envious.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Jiang Miao turned his head and saw the rough man walking against the light, his hands and feet covered in mud, and his black eyes were slightly brighter.

"My wife, are you enough?" He showed her with a wooden barrel. "He caught two big fish, three small ones, the others were loaches and shrimps."

He reached out and flipped into the black mud like a treasure. At the bottom were snails, which were very large.

"Enough, Cheng Huai, you are so awesome." Jiang Miao said admiringly. The pond was touched and even able to catch big fish. It was really amazing.

Cheng Huai pursed his lower lip, but the corners of his lips raised slightly.

The couple started arguing again, but it sounded more like a quarrel.

The woman was pregnant and wanted to drink some fish soup, but her husband didn't catch her, so she couldn't help but complain a few more.

Jiang Miao looked at the fish in the wooden barrel and looked up at Cheng Huai, "Cheng Huai, I want to exchange fish for their snails, is that okay?"

"Yes." Cheng Huai nodded without thinking.

Jiang Miao reached out to help him tie the fallen sleeves again, and smiled and said, "You don't hesitate for a moment."

"I'll listen to you." He looked at her with a bright look.

Jiang Miao felt that his heart was burned, much hotter than the sun in the sky.

"Aunt, can I change the snails with you?" Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai walked over.

The woman was stunned for a moment and soon felt happy: "Sister, you really want to exchange fish. These snails are not worth much. Can your man agree?"

The other party is majestic and powerful, so it is not uncommon to catch such a big fish.

No matter how much she complained, she couldn't use this to let people give her fish because of her kindness.

"He listened to me, aunt, please take a fish." Jiang Miao's smile was sincere and gentle, which made people unable to refuse.

The woman immediately pulled off her man's clothes and "Go to pick a small one." Then she looked at Jiang Miao with a smile, "The big girl is kind-hearted, and the man she married is good."

Jiang Miao pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes swept towards the rough man, "Well, he treats me well, and my aunt is married well."

The woman glanced at her man in a daze, and stopped talking with a shame.

In order to be grateful to Jiang Miao, they poured the snails and loaches into Cheng Huai's buckets, and the fish they picked were also small, so Jiang Miao felt that they had taken advantage of it.

Li Dahu also touched most of the bucket, and the three of them returned with a full load, found a place to clear the soil, and then went to the butcher's house to get the meat.

Jiang Miao originally wanted to buy the snails from Li Dahu, but Li Dahu was unhappy and gave all the snails to Cheng Huai, clamoring to get back after eating buns in the future.

Jiang Miao had no choice but to respond with a smile.

Knowing that Cheng Huai and Jiang Miao had other things to do, Li Dahu went back first.
