Chapter 137 Ah, how should this be arranged?
Xu Zhaodi didn't see Liao Hongmei and thought she hadn't come back yet. She only saw He Jing and waved at her, "Come and give me a hand."
"My parents brought me a lot of things." Xu Zhaodi was happy.
He Jing went over to help, "Second sister-in-law, what did you bring back?"
"My parents are lucky. They caught a lot of river fish. We have pickled a lot of them at home and sent a lot of them to relatives. These are all for me." Xu Zhaodi smiled and spoke with pride.
"Of course, I have kept a lot of them at home." Xu Zhaodi touched the tip of her nose. "It's hot in this weather. If we don't eat them after we prepare them, they will easily grow maggots."
If not for this, her parents wouldn't have been so kind as to leave several kilograms of fish for her and her sisters.
"My brother and sister-in-law also weigh more than ten kilograms."
He Jing was surprised to hear that the number was really large.
"In addition to river fish, mushrooms also grew in the mountains, but not many, so I brought some back." In fact, Xu Zhaodi couldn't bring them back because her parents were on guard.
It was my younger brother who said that there were still a lot of them at home and if they were all left there they would go bad, so he gave her some.
He Jing helped move all the things to the main room.
At first glance, there are a lot of things, big and small, but upon closer inspection, there are not many other things except the pickled fish.
Moreover, these pickled fish...
He Jing frowned and didn't even feel like breathing.
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid these fish can't be eaten." He Jing said with some embarrassment, "They've been kept for too long, they've become pickled and smelly."
To be precise, there was not enough salt and the food already had a rotten smell.
Xu Zhaodi exclaimed, lowered her head to smell it, "Really?"
"My parents' house always smells like this, and I thought it was normal." She couldn't tell the difference.
It smells pretty stinky as soon as you enter the door.
But her mother said that this was the taste, so Xu Zhaodi no longer doubted it.
"Then..." Xu Zhaodi was reluctant, "After washing, can we pickle it again?"
"..." He Jing sighed and shook her head, "No."
Xu Zhaodi quietly looked at the dried fish that she had brought back with great difficulty. She was happy all the way, thinking that she could provide her family with a few days of good food.
did not expect……
She should know.
How could my parents be so kind?
"Wouldn't it be a waste to throw it away?" Xu Zhaodi still couldn't bear to do it.
He Jing could understand that these days, being able to have a bite of meat to eat was already very good. To see so many fish being thrown away would definitely be heartbreaking.
"Sister-in-law, if you want to eat, you can eat it reluctantly."
When Xu Zhaodi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.
"But, I'm not sure whether I will have stomach problems or food poisoning after eating it." He Jing said the second half of the sentence.
Xu Zhaodi let out a cry and instantly became depressed.
"Forget it." She waved her hand and picked up the dried fish that she couldn't keep. "It's a waste to throw it away. I'll take it to the vegetable garden."
"It can be used as fertilizer if buried." It was worth her hard work to carry it all the way.
After getting along with her, He Jing knew what kind of person her second sister-in-law was. Seeing that she was listless, she went over to help. "Although the fish you brought is not edible, my eldest sister-in-law brought back a lot of dried fish."
"Our family's food supply will also improve for several days."
"Besides, the mountain products brought back by my second sister-in-law are very nutritious. Combined with the dried fish brought back by my eldest sister-in-law, it will definitely be very nutritious." He Jing said.
Xu Zhaodi's expression eased a little, "Then I'll go bury it first."
“Otherwise, when Jinbao and Miaomiao come back, they will definitely be disgusted with it again.” Xu Zhaodi cheered up and went out carrying the dried fish that could not be eaten.
Liao Hongmei washed her face and went to the bathroom. When she came out, she saw Xu Zhaodi carrying the fish out. She also smelled a strong stench and her face wrinkled.
Then, vomit it out.
About to vomit.
"What's that smell?" Liao Hongmei pinched her nose and almost couldn't breathe.
He Jing smiled faintly, "It's the fish that my second sister-in-law brought back that got spoiled."
He Jing smelled it when Xu Zhaodi just walked in, but she was so happy that she didn't say anything.
He Jing knew it only when they entered the house and took out the pickled fish, which brought out a lot of flies.
The smell was not pleasant at all and went straight to the top of my head.
He Jing also held it in for a long time before she finally calmed down.
Now, the smell in the main room is still a bit strong, but it should be gone after a while with some wind blowing.
However, He Jing still took it for granted.
The smell didn't completely dissipate until dinner time.
It seemed that the moment it was opened, the surrounding furniture was marinated with flavor.
The adults are okay and can tolerate it.
But the children all pinched their noses and had to run out to breathe some fresh air after eating a few bites.
Xu Zhaodi saw it and felt a little unhappy, but also guilty, "I didn't know it was bad."
She smelled it all the way back.
He Jidong didn't know what to say. He was both angry and amused. "You, you shouldn't have doubted yourself in the beginning."
"Yeah." Xu Zhaodi pursed her lips. Since everyone was there, she didn't know what to say.
After all, she was wrong in this matter.
After the meal, Shi Chunlan couldn't stand the smell anymore, so she lit two more sticks of mugwort, trying to cover up the smell.
However, wormwood does have a smell, and it covers part of it, but the smoke fades quickly and mixes with the stench to form an indescribable smell.
No one wanted to stay in the main room. If they didn't want to sleep, they would stay in the yard or go out to chat with neighbors.
Xu Zhaodi got used to the smell, so she fetched water to wipe the tables and chairs, hoping to get rid of the odor as soon as possible.
However, the smell lasted for three days before it completely disappeared.
And this day was the day when Zhou Cuihong was paraded through the streets.
Shi Chunlan didn't want to join in the fun, but Xu Zhaodi wanted to go. She asked Liao Hongmei, but she didn't want to, so she went to find He Jing.
"Jingjing, do you want to go and take a look?" Xu Zhaodi held her hand, very enthusiastic.
He Jing sighed and explained awkwardly, "Second sister-in-law, Zhou Qi'an has already made an appointment with me today."
"We're going to town too, why don't we go together?"
Xu Zhaodi thought about it and decided that she could go with them, but they could separate once they reached the town. After all, the young couple also wanted some time to be alone together.
"Okay." Xu Zhaodi agreed immediately and added, "Jinbao Miaomiao, Jinbao Yinbao all want to go."
"You and Zhou Qian'an can take Miaomiao with you." Xu Zhaodi thought about it. The three little brats were very noisy, but her own Miaomiao was obedient and well-behaved.
Go with them, it won’t affect the two of them.
And maybe you can even have some snacks.
"Okay." It was the weekend, and it was understandable that the children wanted to go watch the fun.
He Jing agreed.
Then, Zhou Qian saw them at the entrance of the village: two adults and four children. He looked at his bicycle and suddenly didn’t know what to do.
