Chapter 63 Another Day of Mischief

While cleaning the fish, Mrs. Du would occasionally peek at her mother-in-law. Seeing that she was doing it very smoothly, she couldn't help but smack her lips.

'Old ginger is still spicy. I haven't worked for so many years, but I don't see any rustiness. '

Under Mrs. Du's silent sigh, Bai Yunxi had already washed the clothes and hung them on the pole.

After lunch was ready, the three of them ate at home first, and then asked Mrs. Du to send them to the back hillside. Bai Yunxi took Yaya to take a nap, and went down to continue fishing.

This time, Bai Yunxi chose a location close to the wooden bridge to cast the rod, just in time to see the pedestrians coming and going on the official road.

The uncle and cousin went to the county and should be back in the afternoon. As an old mother, she always had to ask about the situation of the eldest son's bear child, as long as she could do it for face.

The Qingshui River lies between Liushuwan and the official road. A wooden bridge connects the village and the official road. This wooden bridge was also built by the clans in the village.

The wooden structure of the bridge needs to be repaired every year to prevent corrosion and insect infestation. The cost of the later repairs is said to be paid from the ancestral hall, but in fact most of it is contributed by the old scholars.

Repairing bridges and paving roads will benefit future generations.

Although everyone in the village participates, based on the principle of contributing money and strength, the wooden bridge has been well maintained so far.

"Grandma, what are you looking at?"

Yaya looked in the direction of Bai Yunxi's gaze. There was nothing but the bridge.

Bai Yunxi came back to her senses, stretched out her hand to rub her little hair, moved the bamboo pole, and lifted the pole by feeling, and a palm-sized carp broke out of the water.

"Thanks to Yaya for reminding grandma, the fish almost got off the hook."

After putting the fish in the bucket, Bai Yunxi concentrated on fishing. When the sun was setting, he harvested half a bucket of fish.

"Enough to eat, pack up, and let's go home."

Bai Yunxi glanced at the wooden bridge and couldn't help frowning. From the village to the county town, one round trip is enough for one day.

They haven't been seen yet. Could they have been held up by something?

Forget it. It's the same if we go home and wait. They live at the entrance of the village anyway. If we pay attention, we won't miss them.

As soon as the grandparents and grandchildren came ashore with their things, they heard the sound of the wheels of the ox cart.

Seeing the ox cart turning into the village, Bai Yunxi was delighted and hurried to meet it.

"Uncle, cousin, are you back?"

Seeing Bai Yunxi carrying a bucket, Bai Yunsong was stunned. He subconsciously glanced at his father and forced a smile.

"Cousin can actually fish?"

'From her appearance, it's obvious that she was waiting for them on purpose. '

Listening to her cousin's voice, Bai Yunxi was not surprised.

"I always feel uneasy and can't stay at home. I simply brought Yaya to the river to fish. Fortunately, I was lucky and caught a few fish."

As he said, Bai Yunxi took out the water plants that had been prepared in the bucket, caught two big fish, strung them together, and put them on the ox cart.

"Take it home and clean it up. Fry it with lard and stew it with pickled cabbage. It tastes pretty good."

Looking at the two lively fish, Bai Yunsong glanced at the bucket she put on the ground. There were indeed a few more.

To have such a harvest, luck is not ordinary.

"Cousin, I know you want to ask about Chen Ge'er. The road permit has been processed and he has taken his household registration with him. He said it was for emergency use."

Bai Yunxi's mouth twitched. Prepare to settle down in a suitable place at any time. She had expected it long ago, so it was not strange.

Bai Yunsong looked at his cousin and thought she would find it difficult to accept it for a while, but he had to say the next words.

"Before leaving, Chen Ge'er borrowed two strings of money from me, saying that my cousin allowed it."
