"Sister, come and see, we caught a lot of fish.??                                                      �

When they arrived at the yard, Kim Dae-chung and Jingsheng were putting down the wooden barrel in their hands. Taohua hurriedly ran over.

"I caught so many fish." Taohuale's face turned red. Looking at the fish in the wooden barrel that were not aware of the disaster, they all weighed one or two pounds, with three, and one bucket of smaller fish, the length of a palm, the smaller ones were as big as a little finger, but the full half of the barrel.

"I thought you were going to the field. If I had known, I would have gone to catch fish," Taohua said, reaching out to touch the fish in the bucket. These are not fish, these are sweet and sour fish, dried fried small fish, braised fish, steamed fish, fish head tofu soup... Taohua felt that the corners of her mouth were almost drooling.

"I was going to the field, but when I saw your elder brother setting up a fish pond for the old Shen family, I went to help." Jin Dazhong said, "You can see first, I'll go wash my hands."

"Well, this is all given to us by Uncle Shen." Jing Sheng said. Uncle Shen is a widower in the village. He lives alone in two acres of land and a fish pond, and his life is pretty good.

"Uncle Shen is so nice." Taohua nodded, then nodded her fingers and thought, "Let's make fish soup, steam it, and sweet and sour ones. Let's stir-fry the remaining small ones."

"Wow, OK, OK." Mingsheng cheered.

Jing Sheng looked at Taohua with a little laugh. Now he thought about how to eat it. He couldn't help but look at the fish in the bucket that were still alive and ignorant.

"By the way, sister, what did you do at home? It smells so good." Mingsheng said.

"Ah, bone soup." Taohua quickly stood up and said, "We made bone soup, but it was delicious. Let's go to have a meal." Then she pulled Jingsheng to the kitchen.

Sure enough, the bone soup was delicious and fragrant, and it conquered everyone in one go. Mingsheng almost bit his tongue when he drank it.

Lihua smiled and said, "Fortunately there is a foodie at home, otherwise we wouldn't have such a blessing."

"Just just now, my third sister said she wanted to make fish soup, steamed fish, braised fish, etc.." Mingsheng quickly said with a big mouth.

Taohua pointed at Mingsheng's forehead and said, "You can't even block your mouth even if you talk too much."

The whole family laughed.

These bones have been boiled for a long time, and the bone marrow can be easily sucked out. Mingsheng saw Taohua sucking the bones with her, and he also learned to suck it hard as if it was like that. Then he widened his eyes in surprise and said, "Wow, it tastes so good!"

Is this a drink? Taohua was speechless, but she still suggested that her family suck out the bone marrow, which is the most nutritious thing.

The whole family didn't go out in the afternoon. Zhang and Lihua rushed to make clothes. Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng packed the fish they brought back by the river. The big ones were first kept in a basin and killed them when they were eaten. The small ones were cut open and scraped the fish scales and washed them clean.

Taohua couldn't needle and thread, so she followed Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng to watch them clean the fish. There was a white sac inside the fish's internal organs. Mingsheng stomped the sac under his feet and played with it. Taohua was so disgusted that he asked him to throw it away. Mingsheng refused to listen, but instead took it in his hand and waved it in front of Taohua. Taohua was so angry that she stood up and wanted to beat him up. Jin Dazhong watched the two children play happily, and Jingsheng also laughed.

After a while, Zhang marinated the washed fish with seasonings and fryed it for everyone to eat in the evening. Mingsheng, who was happy, kept shouting that Uncle Shen would be good and would go to help in the future.

After Laba Festival, the Little New Year is coming.

Zhang and Lihua also made new clothes for everyone in the family the day before, and made two thick beds of quilts, one for the Lihua and Taohua sisters, and the other for the Jingsheng House.

Peach blossoms looked happily at the newly made clothes, with peach blossoms embroidered on them, held in their hands, and compared them on their bodies. Unfortunately, there was no mirror in the house, and they couldn't see anything. It seemed that if you have money in the future, you would have to buy a mirror.

Lihua laughed at the side and said, "I have never seen anyone who loves beauty so much. They are for the New Year. You should put it away quickly and be careful to get it dirty."

"I know." Taohua smiled with Changyin, then put her clothes away and folded them in the small wardrobe in the corner of the wall. Looking at the two sisters' poor clothes in the cabinet, Taohua said: "When I have money in the future, I will buy a lot of clothes to wear."

Lihua smiled and shook her head, not paying attention to it.

On the morning of Xiaonian, Zhang cooked the salted eggs he had previously pickled and boiled white rice porridge.

Jin Dazhong and Jingsheng took a few large tea bowls, and tributes such as salted eggs and hemp candy were placed in them to worship the Kitchen God. Only then did the family start eating.

After dinner, Jin Dazhong was hitting the broken stool with a small hammer. Seeing that there was not much firewood at home, Jingsheng went to the back mountain to pick up firewood again. Mingsheng followed happily. Taohua cleaned the yard with a large broom taller than herself. She also thought it was for exercise, but was taken away by Lihua and drove her aside to play.

"Why don't you let me sweep it?" Taohua looked at Lihua angrily.

"You'd better go play, it's so big, not as tall as a broom." Lihua swept the courtyard lightly, and it cleaned it in a short while. Taohua pouted and reluctantly returned to the house.

Zhang was sitting on the couch in front of the window, with a small quilt on his legs and a piece of Jin Dazhong's clothes.

Taohua walked over, took off her shoes, and snuggled up to Zhang who was doing needlework and said coquettishly: "Mom, look at my sister, I always bully me."

Zhang naturally heard the words of the two of them, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Your sister feels sorry for you, aren't you afraid of being tired of you?"

"But I want to do something for my family, too." Taohua rested her head on Zhang's legs, and her hands lit up Jin Dazhong's clothes in front of her.

"If you really want to help the house, just make some delicious food!" Li Hua walked in from outside the door and said, holding a needle and thread basket in her hand, putting it on the couch, and taking off her shoes.

Zhang quickly put the work in his hand aside and covered the quilt tightly on the pear blossoms and peach blossom legs.

"You are still young, it's not good to keep your legs frozen," said Zhang.

"I know, you have said it a hundred times and a hundred times." Taohua said with her face tilted, her body swaying from side to side, and she looked naughty.

"Every girl's family looks like." Zhang kicked the peach blossoms in the quilt.

Lihua smiled with a pursed lips.
