We are poor these days, and no one can afford to eat meat every day.
The best food for leading cadres in textile factories is white flour steamed buns with a small piece of braised pork.
Chu Mengxi's lunch today really made everyone's eyes look straight.
A braised fish of that size must be eight taels.
Plus two large golden fried eggs.
Nearly seven cents were eaten in one meal.
Local tycoon?
What's even more outrageous is.
The fish is grilled and the eggs are fried. They taste really good!
Just smelling the fragrance makes me salivate.
Chu Mengxi couldn't bear to move her chopsticks, her eyes were blank.
The two breast dumplings urged:
"Mom, eat it quickly. The fish is delicious, but it won’t taste good if it’s cold."
"Mom, it’s quick, my balls are also very good."
Although the two little guys looked greedy, their stomachs couldn't be filled.
They also knew that Chu Mengxi worked hard. Chu Mengxi served them fried eggs, but they shook their heads and refused to eat them.
Chu Mengxi's heart was shocked, and she saw The two little guys came here really full.
Otherwise, they couldn't bear the delicious food.
Chu Mengxi looked up at the door again, but still didn't see the man.
She didn't know why he didn't Appeared.
Did he not want to see himself?
Yes, he had always been indifferent, even to the two little guys.
Ha, a ruthless and cold man.
But why was he so abnormal today?
It was because the hard-earned money he had saved the day before yesterday was robbed. Are you feeling guilty?
He took the ten yuan he had saved so hard, the family's oil and rice money for more than half a month, and bought all this food lavishly?
Chu Mengxi was heartbroken.
It was such a waste of money.
Why did he buy fish? Eat?
With the money to buy fish, you can exchange for many kilograms of rice and noodles!
Didn't he take into account the conditions at home?
Spending it carelessly like this?
Yes, he has always been like this. Can he still live...
Chu Mengxi's head was full of confused thoughts.
Her nostrils fluttered, and the rich aroma of the braised fish made her mouth not secrete fluids.
Now that the money had been spent, what else could she do?
She gritted her teeth and continued to pick up the chopsticks.
The fish was salty and tender, The omelette is fragrant and delicious.
It's delicious.
It's really delicious!
In the past few years of marriage, Chu Mengxi has become accustomed to saving money.
When I gave her a white-flour steamed bun, she couldn't bear to finish it in one meal, so she had to divide it into two meals.
For one penny, She couldn't wait to break it in half to spend it.
Now she couldn't bear to eat more of this extravagant meal of braised fish and omelette. She only ate half of the omelette and only half of the fish. Then she took the remaining steamed buns. She stuffed it into her stomach.
She was full and satisfied with this meal.
She wanted to take the remaining fish and fried eggs back and heat them up for dinner for the two little guys, and they could have a good meal together.
Canteen Inside, the eyes of many workers rested on Chu Mengxi.
In the eyes of outsiders, this time, Chu Mengxi’s husband, a street kid who didn’t live in five or six, finally did something good. He knew how to give his wife something good. Food.
Chu Mengxi ate unpalatable steamed buns for a while, and outsiders couldn't stand it anymore.
However, then I thought about it.
Where did that idle street kid get the money to buy fish?
He didn't earn it with Chu Mengxi Money.
A man who has to rely on women to support his family and is very prodigal is such a bastard!
Hey, if you encounter such a man, you should get divorced as soon as possible...
Covering the lunch box, the aroma of braised fish and fried eggs subsided.
With Chu Several female workers at the same table as Meng Xi were still swallowing their saliva.
At this moment, they were also a little envious. Their husbands would not give such a surprise suddenly.
"Mom, why are you so little? Is it because the fish made by daddy is not delicious? Nuan
Nuan tilted her little head and asked doubtfully.
Chu Mengxi touched Nuan Nuan's little head gently, shook her head and said:
"The fish is delicious, but mom is full and can’t eat any more"
"oh~!"
Chu Mengxi was holding two little guys on her left and right. As soon as she walked out of the cafeteria door, the bell rang in the textile room.
Just as Chu Mengxi was about to speak, the two little guys' eyes lit up and they spotted Li Xia sitting under a tree not far away.
"Dad is there!"
"Daddy!"
The two little guys immediately ran over huffing and puffing. Duoduo turned back, waved her hands to Chu Mengxi, and said:
"Mom, go to work quickly. We went back with Dad. Come back early in the evening.~!"
Chu Mengxi was stunned for a moment.
Watching the two breast dumplings running towards the man.
From a distance, it was impossible to see clearly the man's facial features, let alone the expression on the man's face.
All you could see was that he stood up, raised Nuannuan above his head, put it on his neck, and then took Duoduo's hand.
This seemingly warm scene made Chu Mengxi feel in a trance for a while.
A little unbelievable.
He had never behaved like this before.
The man turned around and looked in her direction.
Chu Mengxi's heart trembled slightly.
Two people tens of meters apart, Li Xia and Chu Mengxi looked at each other for a few seconds.
These few seconds feel like a lifetime ago
"Chu Mengxi, what are you looking at? It’s time to get busy. If you are late, your wages will be deducted."
Two female workers came over and pulled Chu Mengxi towards Textile Room No. 3.
Li Xia looked at Chu Mengxi's slender back. He also turned around and walked towards the door of the textile factory.
……
I returned to the village and let the two little guys play by themselves.
Li Xia found a hatchet from the kitchen and sharpened the blade with a whetstone. After it became sharp, he picked up the knife and went up the mountain.
He needs to cut some bamboo.
If you want to change the current situation of this family, the first step is to make money.
For now, fishing is the fastest way to make money by selling it at the market.
Capitalless trading only requires skills, strength, and time.
He has all three, and lots of them.
Li Xia needs to make a fishing rod. The original fishing rod is really unsatisfactory. For a competitive fisherman like him who pursues perfection, what can he do without a handy weapon?
We also need to make bamboo baskets for holding fish, larger ones that can hold 180 kilograms of fish.
In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the back mountain.
Enter a dense bamboo forest.
After looking around for a while, Li Xia selected a light bamboo of moderate thickness.
He observed the bamboo he selected. It was neither old nor tender, had dense joints, no insect holes, and no external injuries. It was very suitable for making fishing rods.
Li Xia took a hatchet and cut off the bamboo from the root.
Then cut the branches cleanly.
Then, he chopped a dozen thin bamboos, tied them into a bundle, and carried them on his shoulders, ready to go home.
On the mountain road, there are many wild raspberries on the side of the road, and the small balls made of coral beads are full of branches. They are so red that it makes people salivate.
Wild raspberries are a gift from the mountains, and they will grow every year in this month.
Living conditions are poor these days, and families have no money to buy snacks, and these wild raspberries have become a favorite free snack for children.
Li Xia picked a few and threw them into his mouth. They were tender, juicy, sweet and sour, and actually tasted better than strawberries.
Li Xia put down the bamboo on his shoulder, found a large wild taro leaf, rolled it into a pointed"funnel", and then started picking wild raspberries.
Within a few minutes, I picked a handful full of them.
Li Xia went down the mountain to go home with wild raspberries in one hand and bamboo in the other.
When the two baby boys saw Li Xia coming back, they immediately ran out of the house. One of them grabbed one of Li Xia's legs and hung it on it.
Xiaotai Tuanzi Nuannuan's grape eyes were so bright that she immediately saw the handful of red wild raspberries in Li Xia's hand.
"Daddy, what is that in your hand? Is it good quality?"
Gudong~!
Duoduo also looked towards Li Xia's right hand, staring straight at the wild raspberries, and swallowed.
Without Li Xia's need to answer, she knew that those tempting little fruits must be delicious.
The corner of Li Xia's mouth He smiled, put down the bamboo, squatted down, and dangled the wild raspberry in front of the two little guys.
The two little guys' eyes were drawn to the bright fruit and they couldn't look away.
"These are wild raspberries. They are very sweet. Do you want to eat them?"
The two chicks with small breasts and dumplings nodded like pecking at rice.
They were already very greedy. Usually, they didn't have any snacks.
But now, they have such a big handful of wild raspberries. They are so happy.
Nuan Nuan was about to reach out to grab it, but was held down by Li Xia.
He picked up Nuan Nuan's little paw pretending to be disgusted, frowned and said:"You have to clean your hands before you can eat. If you eat with dirty hands, you will get a stomachache."!"
"Oh~! Got it~! Daddy~! I'm going to wash now~!"
"Duoduo also goes to wash!"
The two little guys immediately ran to wash their hands.
Under Li Xia's temptation with food, the two little guys were very obedient when it came to washing their hands. When
Duoduo and Nuan Nuan came back after washing their hands, Li Xia had already I took two small notched bowls and put cleaned wild raspberries in them.
The two little guys each had a small bench and sat on it with their little feet dangling. They each held a small bowl of wild raspberries in their hands and kept stuffing them. In the mouth.
The sweet and sour taste fills the mouth, refreshing and delicious
The two little guys have never tasted such delicious fruit.
Duoduo slurred her mouth while eating, but she didn't forget to praise:"It's so sweet~! Wow~! It's delicious.~!"
Nuan Nuan's little lips were dyed red, and her little hands held raspberries one by one and kept popping them into her mouth, eating them happily.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
Li Xia couldn't help laughing when she saw the appearance of the two small milk dumplings.
Wild raspberries contain vitamin C and other nutrients. You can eat more of the two small milk dumplings and wait until tomorrow to pick them.
Next, Li Xia started to make them His own business.
Making fishing rods.
He opened the knots of the bamboo used to make the fishing rods and straightened them with the force of fire. At the same time, by controlling the force of fire, he tightened and fine-tuned the fibers of the bamboo to make the bamboo stronger and more durable. Toughness, enhance the use effect and anti-deformation ability of bamboo...
It took more than an hour to complete the fishing rod.
In fact, making a top-quality bamboo fishing rod requires a very complex and rigorous rod-making process.
Li Xia is not a professional Naturally, the rod maker couldn't make that kind of top-quality fishing rod.
What's more, he didn't have the time and energy.
However, the newly made fishing rod was much stronger than the old one.
Next, Li Xia packed up the chopped bamboo... first he cut the bamboo strips... then picked the bamboo strips, selected the good strips, and started making fish baskets.
First, he cut the bottom of the basket, then weaved the basket frame and closed the mouth...
Li Xia's movements were very special He is proficient and very fast.
In his previous life, he had learned all kinds of craftsmanship, and his skills were overwhelming. In half an hour, a fish basket half the height of a man was completed.
The two little guys put down their hands. Bowl, immediately ran over, with two pairs of big eyes showing admiration.
"Wow~! Daddy is so disgusting~!"
