Chapter 198 Game in the Field 2

The sun slowly sank to the west, and the sky was filled with colorful sunset clouds.

The RV drove into the yard. The beauty under the eaves leaned against Shen Anda and Shi Tao who were playing with stones, dropped the stones and ran towards the car.

The two children jumped up and down happily, shouting, "The car is back! The car is back!"

Lin Zisu slowed down the car, opened the window and shouted, "Don't come over here, be careful not to run over the two of you."

The RV drove to the innermost part of the front yard, turned the steering wheel to the left and drove into the spacious aisle, then stopped at the side door.

The two children walked through the main room and came to the kitchen door at the back.

Lin Zisu opened the side door, went in carrying a bag of fish, and quickly found a wooden barrel to pour the fish into.

Lin Cuihe and Lin Xiatao got out of the car and walked in, carrying a bucket of fish.

Lin Hongmei came out of the kitchen and looked at the three people covered in mud. She was surprised and asked, "What's going on? There's mud everywhere. Who did you fight with?"

"Ah~ What's in the bucket?" Shi Yong took away the straw in the bucket and saw countless things wiggling around inside. "Snakes!!!" He quickly ran behind his mother to hide.

Shen Anda came over curiously to take a look, then quickly ran and hid behind Lin Hongmei.

Lin Zisu laughed and said, "Hahahaha~~~ It's not a snake! It's a delicious fish!"

Lin Hongmei must have known loaches. When she was a child, she and her brothers went to the pond to fish. In summer, they could eat all kinds of fish from time to time. Two 5-year-old children had never seen these.

Lin Hongmei: "Why are there so many? Almost 3 buckets!"

Lin Cuihe: "What we dig in the fields are not all loaches, there are also some eels and snails."

"Aunt, let's go get the wooden basins." Lin Zisu said as she walked towards the two large wooden basins in the kitchen.

"Let's go and carry down that bucket of fish." Lin Cuihe called on Lin Xiatao to carry down the last bucket of fish.

The two large wooden basins for washing vegetables were bought by Old Lady Wang in Qingshui City. They were heavy and large, and she also had a boat and a car to pull them to Xinghai City.

Two men carried out two wooden basins and placed them in the aisle in front of the bathroom door. The indoor aisle, which was more than two meters wide, had a cement floor, and there was a drainage ditch in front of the bathroom and small toilet doors.

Lin Zisu connected the water pipe from the RV and put water into two wooden basins. Lin Cuihe and the others poured loaches, eels and snails into the basins, and the clear water immediately became turbid.

Lin Zisu took the scoop net from the RV and scooped them back into the barrel. The two children watched from the side, wanting to try but a little afraid.

Lin Zisu: "Aunt, go to the kitchen and get busy! Don't get your clothes dirty, the three of us can wash them."

"Okay, the rice is just cooked, and I'm just about to cook." Lin Hongmei said as she walked into the kitchen to get busy.

The three of them changed the water three times and finally saw that the water was clear. The two of them packed loaches, snails, and yellow eels separately, half a bucket for yellow eels, half a bucket for snails, and nearly two buckets for loaches. The loaches were packed in 6 wooden barrels because they could not be kept densely together and would lack oxygen if there was not enough water. Most of the wooden barrels at home were used, plus two large wooden basins. Lin Zisu's family only had two wooden barrels, and the other four barrels and two wooden basins were from her grandparents' homes.

Lin Zisu put her hands on her hips and looked at the results of the two-hour battle. She said contentedly, "We need to raise them for a few days. We need to change the water once or twice a day to make them spit out the mud."

Lin Cuihe and Lin Xiatao also had smiles on their faces. Who wouldn’t be happy with such a good harvest!

Lin Zisu found bamboo winnowing baskets of all sizes that her mother used to dry herbs, covered the wooden barrels and basins, and pressed bricks on them to prevent them from coming out and turning into dried fish.

The three of them washed their hands, took clean clothes and towels, and went into the bathroom in turn, taking a cold shower with the hose. After the shower, the three of them washed their clothes, went to the backyard to collect the clean clothes, and hung the freshly washed clothes up.

Lin Zisu would definitely not put muddy clothes in the washing machine, dirty clothes must be washed by hand first. She was covered in mud and didn't want to take a shower in the bathroom of the RV. She was afraid that the mud and sand would clog the pipes. Although the RV can be repaired by itself, it is still necessary to be particular and careful when conditions permit.

Lin Hongmei fried scrambled eggs with chili peppers and loofah soup with a few meatballs in it. She made it for Shi Tao and Shen Anda who couldn't eat spicy food.

She knew how to make fried eggs with peppers, which she learned from her fourth brother. It wasn't that it was difficult to make, but there was no pepper in their place, and farmers rarely had stir-fried dishes, most of them were stewed in a big pot.

Shi Tao sniffed, "What a nice smell! What a nice smell! I want to eat!"

Shen Anda clapped his hands and jumped up and down, "I want to eat too!!"

"Okay! Dada will have dinner here!" Lin Hongmei smiled and looked at the three sisters who had just finished washing. "Come and eat! After you finish eating, we can send it to the fields!"

Three people were in the RV, scrubbing the sofa and floor...

"Anda~Anda! Shen Anda!!" The second daughter-in-law of the Shen family came in and said with a smile: "Sister Hongmei, have you eaten?"

Lin Hongmei: "I'm just about to eat. Dada, just stay here and eat! I've cooked some dishes and rice for him!"

Zhang Xiaoyu, the second daughter-in-law of the Shen family, looked at the wet ground with buckets and basins scattered all over the ground. "No, no, I cook for him at home and always bother you. What's the matter with all the buckets and basins on the ground? Catch some fish?"

Lin Hongmei: "Yes! The kids at home spent a few hours catching a lot of loaches, eels, and snails. Zi Su said to change the water every day and keep them for a few days to remove the mud!"

"Second aunt, please take some food back to eat!" Lin Zisu came down from the RV after cleaning it. She was so hungry that she just wanted to eat!

Zhang Xiaoyu pulled her son who refused to leave and hurried out, "No, no, eat it yourself! We're going back first!"

"Then I'll send it to you after it's well!" Lin Zisu hurriedly shouted behind the mother and daughter.

After dinner, Lin Hongmei and her son stayed at home, while Lin Zisu and her friends went to the fields with two pots of food, a large wooden barrel of rice, and a bucket of bowls and chopsticks.

When they arrived, it was already 19:28 in the evening. Lin Hongmei helped with cooking, and it took more than an hour for them to bring the food to the fields.

Lin Zisu pulled out a water pipe and asked them to wash their hands, faces and necks. They sat on the ridge of the field to eat. There was only the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky, and the wind blew away the summer heat, which was naturally cool.

After dinner, I take a short break, continue working at 20:22, and go home to sleep at :.

Lin Zisu looked at the brothers who had taken out searchlights and flashlights, and were holding sacks and sticks, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Do you want to eat spicy, fragrant, spicy or sour spicy frog..." Lin Xianwen looked at her with burning eyes.

"Yes!!!" Lin Zisu listened to him and felt a little hungry again after just eating.

Lin Xianwen: "Are you going?"

Lin Zisu shook her head: "No, snakes come out of their holes to hunt at night!"

"Let's look for it in the nearby fields!" Lin Xianwen said, and called his brothers to start off.

After working until 21:, the women went home an hour early to wash the buckets and basins used for food and the dishes. It took time to take turns to bathe because there were so many people. They had to bathe early and rest early because they had to get up early the next day.

The men go home an hour later so they can take a shower when they get home, thus staggering their time.
