Chapter 914: Lucky!
Chapter 914: Lucky!
The smell of fish makes the children excited, and even adults can’t help but salivate!
The main reason was that supplies were scarce in that era. If you wanted to eat meat, you had to wait for the monthly ration and save it up to eat slowly!
The key point is that every family has three or five mouths to feed!
Even if you buy a pound of meat, each person can't finish it with two chopsticks!
Since leaving the wilderness, they no longer have the freedom to eat meat!
So, when they saw the grilled fish, of course they were excited and happy!
Zhuang Jingjing and Zheng Lan had always known Ye Shu's abilities, and they immediately regretted it:
"We should have brought a pot and some rice, flour, grain, and oil. We can just build a stove and start a fire here, eat, and then go back!"
"And you don't have to worry about the neighbors gossiping about the smell of meat!"
It was the first time that Mrs. Tang saw Ye Shu's ability in the water. She was stunned with amazement. When she heard what they said, she was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
After a long while, he asked in return: "If we eat here, what about the children's father?"
Zhao Jinhua's reaction was similar to Tang Dasao's, and she had the same question in her mind.
Zheng Lan smiled and said, "Can't they eat in the army cafeteria? Are you worried they'll be hungry?!"
"You won't starve!"
Mrs. Tang and Zhao Jinhua: "..."
It seems like I realized for the first time that life can be like this?
But no matter how shocked and moved they were, they did not stop picking wild vegetables and mushrooms.
Ye Shu helped them get fish and clams, so they had to help pick more wild vegetables!
Otherwise, how could they have the nerve to eat grilled fish!
But even if they can resist not eating, the children can’t!
The boys were running so fast that they could no longer be stopped, so they kept the girls by their side to help. Picking wild vegetables and mushrooms was not tiring after all.
Of course, these girls definitely don’t include Guaiguai.
This girl is simply the king of children!
As the eldest sister among the children, she has a strong personality. At a young age, she has leadership qualities and is the type who has the final say.
Now she has the little bully Han Cheng helping her. She was already walking sideways, and now she is even floating!
The adults watching sighed with emotion: "Only the Ye Shu couple could have the guts to raise a little girl like this!"
Zheng Lan was just expressing her feelings casually, but the listener took it seriously despite the speaker's unintentional nature. Zhuang Jingjing felt very ashamed. She had told Ye Shu two years ago to spend more time with Yaya so that Yaya could learn some confidence, strength and tenacity from her.
In the past two years, Yaya has indeed become more outgoing and strong, but in the past one or two months, she has been beaten back to her original form by her own hands.
Although she had never hit Yaya, the pain in her heart now was worse than being whipped.
She gritted her teeth secretly and warned herself that she must never be confused again!
Mrs. Tang had a soft personality, and she knew she would never be able to learn to be like Ye Shu in her lifetime, so she said to her two daughters:
"Learn more from your aunt, or at least learn from Guaiguai, okay?"
Although Yaya and her friends are naughty, they actually gain something from it.
She was the first to discover the hare's tracks: "Hare's nest! There's a hare!"
Niu Baoer: "What if it's an empty rabbit hive?"
Han Cheng the Little Overlord: "Never mind, let's try it first! What if there really is a rabbit?"
He saw that Guaiguai was really craving rabbit meat, so he wanted to catch one for her. If there was no one in this nest, he would look for one somewhere else!
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. You can’t just sit and wait for the rabbit to come to you!
But they had been in the wilderness for a while and had their own way of catching rabbits.
So several older children took the younger ones and worked separately to find all the entrances to the nearby rabbit nests. Only two holes were left unsealed. They blocked the others and then set fire to them.
As long as there is a rabbit in the cave, it will not be able to stand the smoke and fire and will definitely run towards the cave entrance!
All they have to do is sink the prepared net bag into the hole and wait at the entrance. As soon as the rabbit jumps out, they will catch it!
Guaranteed to catch a big fat rabbit with one tap!
Sure enough, after a while, rabbits started jumping out of the two holes one after another!
The three little ones are still young and weak, so the main force in catching rabbits is Lin Xiaojie and the other half-grown children including Han Cheng!
Ye Shu was catching fish and clams in the river, Mrs. Jin was grilling fish, and Zhuang Jingjing and the others were also picking wild vegetables and mushrooms quickly and carefully.
Everyone was busy with their own work, when suddenly, they heard children screaming and shouting in the distance.
Sister Jin and Ye Shu were on the riverbank, too low to see or hear anything. They stood up anxiously, "Oh my! What happened to these naughty kids?"
"Is there something wrong?"
Ye Shu was in the river, the terrain was lower, and due to her visibility, she couldn't see what the group of children were doing.
But she had good hearing and could hear clearly. Seeing that Sister Jin was very anxious, she quickly said to her:
"It's okay. They seem to have caught a hare and are shouting happily. It's nothing. Don't worry."
"Look, the soldiers have all gone there. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Mrs. Jin stood on tiptoe to look, and sure enough, she saw two soldiers running away. Only then did she feel relieved.
Sitting down to grill the fish again, she glanced at the clams that piled up more and more beside her and the fish that kept jumping around. She couldn't help but laugh:
"Tell me, if others saw us like this, wouldn't they be jealous?"
"We're so lucky this time!"
"There are fish and clams, and the children even caught a wild rabbit! And there are so many wild vegetables and mushrooms!"
Tsk tsk, just thinking about it makes me feel like others will be jealous!
"As expected! People still need to get out and about. Look at nature, it's filled with precious treasures bestowed upon mankind!"
Zhuang Jingjing and the others also came here because they had picked all the mushrooms on that hilltop and found that there were still a lot of them by the river, so they came here to pick some.
After hearing what Sister Jin said, she responded, "Nature is indeed full of opportunities, but not everyone can seize them!"
"Just take these fish and clams, if Ye Shu wasn't such a great swimmer, how could he have gotten them?"
Zhao Jinhua shook her head. "That's not right. In our village, only the men are good swimmers. And they only swim in the summer to take a bath. Not many people catch fish. Only experienced swimmers can do that!"
Not to mention women!
So at this moment, Zhao Jinhua's eyes were full of little golden stars when she looked at Ye Shu!
Adored!
How can a lesbian be so powerful?!
How can a lesbian conquer everyone without saying a word just by going down the river?
Mrs. Jin grilled the fish and called the soldiers to come and eat.
The soldiers declined at first, but they couldn't resist the sisters-in-law's enthusiasm, so they came over to take some and then everyone tasted it together.
Then, the soldiers saw the clams piled up like a hill on the river bank and a few big fat fish scattered around, and they were all dumbfounded!
