Chapter 166: Chapter 164: Jealousy Arises, Stirring up More Troubles
Di Ruoning also covered her mouth and laughed softly!
“Those shrimps are small in size, it’s not easy to dry them out. Besides, Xuan’er and YingEr still needed to eat, we can’t steal their food.” she said.
Her words made the three of them laugh.
Seeing the fine fishing net in Di Ruoning’s hand, Liu Sisi’s eyes lit up!
“Ye Lei, fishing in muddy water is the easiest. In this murky river water, why don’t we catch some more fish and shrimps? During winter, we can have more dishes added to our meals.”
Liu Sisi’s words reached Di Yelei’s heart!
“Good idea! I will catch more in the river while there is still time.”
After catching the fish and shrimps, they could distribute some to the old house, and also bring some home for Little Sister to eat. After all, these were small things that did not cost any money.
In this way, everyone grandiosely headed towards the river.
Walking along with Di Ruoning, Liu Sisi moved slowly and carefully. She hadn’t forgotten that Little Sister was pregnant at the moment.
Once Di Yelei passed the mountain bay, Di Ruoning suddenly exerted more force in pulling her hand!
The riverside was unusually lively today. Many families, following the chaos, all rushed here to fish. The river was broad, with the widest part estimated to be about ten meters and the narrowest part about six meters. The water was shallow and flowed slowly.
This was due to a famous large mill that was built downstream of the river. After a dam was constructed across the river, the water surface widened and the flow slowed down, thereby spawning countless small fishes.
Everyone was bustling around in the lush water grass river section. Some men, only wearing shorts, simply dived in to catch the little fishes. Others casted nets along the river bank. No matter how many or few, each cast always yielded some fish and shrimps. Some people were transferring fish from large plaques, and some people even set nets directly in the middle of the river…
When Liu Sisi and Di Yelei arrived, the stone slab where women used to wash clothes under the drooping willows was already filled with spectators. Among them were Xuan’er and YingEr. Standing beside them were Di Ruoning and Di Wei, her niece, they were chatting and laughing while facing the lively river.
“Mom! Mom, over here!”
YingEr joyfully waved her hand at Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi smiled, shook off Di Ruoning’s hand, walked over to YingEr, pulled out a handkerchief, and gently wiped her sweat, “How did it go? How many fish did you catch?”
“Mom! We caught so many fishes, Uncle was so cool, he casted a net and caught a big, round fish, as big as this…”
YingEr raised her little hand, happily gesturing that the fish was that BIG.
“Stupid YingEr, that’s called a turtle! The meat of those turtles is delicious! Uncle caught it.” Di Wei proudly added in the conversation.
Her little aunt was so good to her, Di Wei had even brought her a Su embroidery handkerchief when she came back home. Di Wei nervously glanced up at her little aunt, fearing that her answer might have upset her.
“I’m not stupid! Mom——” YingEr retorted at Di Wei, seeking the protection of Liu Sisi.
Liu Sisi chuckled as she stroked YingEr’s hair: “YingEr is a good girl, it’s normal for you not to recognize it because you are still young. Once you grow up, you will naturally recognize it. For example, now if mother asks you: ‘What is the round fish that your little uncle just caught?’, how would you answer your mother?””
