Chapter 476 Grilled Fish
In the cold weather, the children would shiver when they rolled up their pants and went into the river. When they saw the fish popping up one after another,
The children didn't feel anything at all. They were only thinking about catching two more fish to take home so that they could have an extra meat dish on the table during the New Year.
Shen Shuyu asked them to be careful not to fall, and she held the bamboo basket and kept catching fish.
The three brothers Shen Jiabao did the same. They filled their own bucket and then put the fish into the children's buckets.
Zhou Jin had been watching from above. He wanted to go down and catch some fish, but he felt cold, so he asked Daben, who was a month younger than him, to catch some for him.
Daben is not stupid, so who would care about him? Zhou Jin was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
After shouting for a long time and seeing that no one paid attention to him, Zhou Jin started to cry loudly. Shen Shuyu thought it was too noisy and saw that they had caught most of the fish, so she prepared to take the bucket home and asked Goudan and the others to go home early as well. The water was cold and it would be easy to catch a cold if they stayed there for too long.
There was fish in every bucket and the children were satisfied.
Shen Shuyu helped them carry the buckets up, and the children grinned happily and wanted to carry the buckets home.
Zhou Jin stopped the children and said, "You are not allowed to leave. You must give me two fishes."
"I won't give it to you. We were all soaking in the cold water just now. Why should I give it to you if you don't go down and grab it yourself?"
The child who was stopped said angrily.
The older kids like Goudan and Jinbao also helped, "Zhou Jin, get out of here, or I'll beat you up."
"If you dare to hit me, I will go home and tell my mother to beat you up. I don't care. Anyway, you have to share the fish with me. Otherwise, I will go home and tell my mother that you bullied me."
This was the first time that Shen Shuyu saw Zhou Jin acting like a spoiled brat. Before that, she had only heard from her aunt and others in letters about how unruly this child was.
Zhou Jin was so young, his eyes were full of resentment because he couldn't get what he wanted. Shen Shuyu didn't ignore the stone in his hand. If she said a few more words, the child would probably throw the stone at her.
"Zhou Jin, how can you be so shameless? This is not the fish you caught. Why should we give it to you? I won't give it to you, I won't give it to you, lelelelele."
Goudan made a face at him. Jinbao stepped forward, snatched the stone from Zhou Jin's hand and threw it far away. Last time, Xiao Shitou and Zhou Jin had an argument, Zhou Jin couldn't win the argument, so he turned around and threw the stone at Xiao Shitou. Fortunately, he didn't hit him, because it would have hurt a lot if he had.
Shen Jiabao called out to the children, "Jinbao, Goudan, Xiaoshitou, all of you go home."
They are adults and it is not right for them to interfere in the affairs of little kids, but it is also not okay for them to just stand by and watch these little kids fighting.
Goudan and his friends also wanted to take the fish home early to make their family happy, so they ignored Zhou Jin and went home with the bucket.
After they walked away, Shen Jiabao and his sister picked up their buckets.
Zhou Jin was unhappy because he didn't have any fish. "Uncle, don't leave. I want to eat fish. Bring a bucket of fish to my house."
My mother said that all the uncles were his family and would love him as much as his mother did. These uncles would agree to whatever he said.
"What are you talking about, kid? We don't have a nephew like you. Go, go, go home. If you want to eat fish, go find your mother."
It's not that Shen Jiabao and his friends couldn't give him a fish. If Shen Xue was a good person, the child wouldn't even have to ask for it. As soon as they caught the fish, they would bring a few to her house.
After Shen Xue got married, her actions became more and more outrageous. Shen Jiabao and his family were really disappointed with this cousin.
If they gave them the fish this time, who knows what this kid would ask them to give next time. Shen Jiabao simply refused.
"You are all bad people. I hate you. When I grow up and become successful, I will definitely teach you a lesson."
Zhou Jin ran away crying, and before running away he tried to push Xiao An down, but Shen Shuyu pulled him away.
"Zhou Jin has really been spoiled by Shen Xue and has become more and more outrageous."
The four brothers and sisters each carried a bucket home, and a string of fish was hung around the white radish's neck.
They went out and caught so many fish that everyone in the family was happy.
"My dear, tomorrow your second aunt and I will make fish balls for you." Making fish balls is a little troublesome. Grandma Shen wants her eldest granddaughter to eat well, so she doesn't mind the trouble.
"That's so nice, grandma. I'll do it with you guys tomorrow."
"Just watch the fire over there." At home, Grandma Shen would never bear to let her eldest granddaughter do any work; they loved her so much that she grew up in love with them.
These old fish can be eaten until the 15th. In this weather, just put them in the water tank in the yard.
Zhao Hu often sent gifts to Shen Chunling, and Old Mrs. Shen asked her eldest grandson to take two pieces to the Zhao family.
Let the second grandson also take two and give them to Shen Erzhu's family.
As for the three daughters-in-law's families, Old Lady Shen also asked them to take two each.
Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia took the fish and went back to her parents' home immediately. Liu Pandi did not plan to take the fish back to her parents' home. She fried one of the two fishes.
She used one to make soup, divided the portions for her and her son, and put the rest in a lunch box and gave it to Uncle Shen who worked in the steel factory.
After returning and changing clothes, Shen Shuyu fed her son a bowl of rice porridge and put him in the stroller. Xiao An and Xiao Yaner played with him beside them. Shen Shuyu and her three cousins built a fire in the yard and started to grill fish.
Shen Shuyu hasn't eaten grilled fish for a long time. She feels craving for it just thinking about the taste of grilled fish.
"Big sister, how many do you want to grill?"
There were many people at home, so Shen Shuyu suggested grilling ten fish first without thinking. Shen Jiaguo quickly processed the ten fish. Wei Fangcao said she would process them, but Shen Jiaguo refused.
"You can't stand the smell of meat. You'll vomit soon. Go chat with your elder sister."
Wei Fangcao is pregnant now, and Shen Jiaguo usually doesn't let her do any work.
Shen Shuyu pulled Wei Fangcao to sit down, "Third sister-in-law, come, let's sit down and eat some melon seeds."
"Oh, good."
Wei Fangcao and Shen Shuyu didn't spend much time together, so she was still a little nervous, afraid that she would say something wrong.
If the elder sister is unhappy, her grandparents will dislike her. She knows that her grandparents at home always treat her as the apple of their eye.
Seeing that the third sister-in-law was a little nervous, Shen Shuyu talked to her about children. Wei Fangcao was about to give birth, and when talking about children, both the aunt and the sister-in-law had something to talk about. Shen Jiaguo was happy to see that they got along well.
The fish were processed and skewered on sticks. Each of them held two fish and grilled them. After half an hour, the smell of burnt fish came out. Xiao An pushed Xiao Ze over, and the three children gathered around. Xiao Yan'er drooled, "Dad, when can we eat? Xiao Yan'er is hungry."
Shen Jiabao poked his daughter's face and said, "Wait a little longer, we'll be able to eat soon."
The seasoning was applied by Shen Shuyu. Once the seasoning was applied, the whole yard was filled with the overbearing aroma of grilled fish.
Old man Shen was sleeping in the room. When he smelled the fragrance, he came out wearing clothes.
"My dear, is it cooked? This grilled fish smells so good. I have to drink two cups."
Usually when her eldest granddaughter is not at home, Old Mrs. Shen has no mood to drink. Now that her eldest granddaughter is back, he is happy and has some snacks to go with the wine, so he wants to have a few sips.
