Mermaid Farming

Chapter 8

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Ren Yu sat on the side and watched them work. Even the youngest He Zeliu was helping to pick out the withered weeds from the wild vegetables.

He Zeyang was responsible for carrying water back. There were two large tanks in the house, one of which was said to be given to them by their former neighbor.

They consume a lot of water a day, so save a little, and the two large tanks of water can last for two days.

However, it is not far from the place where the water is carried.

Ren Yu looked at He Zeyang walking like flying even though he was carrying two buckets of water. The muscles on his body can be seen without looking, there are several abdominal muscles.

It can be said that I am very envious.

He sat for a while, feeling less uncomfortable in his legs.

Just look at yourself, is there anything I can do to help?

I didn't wash by the river before because there were too many children. If they accidentally fell, such a small child, even if they can swim, would easily cause trouble.

In particular, sometimes I just let the younger ones pick some wild vegetables and come back. In case there are no older children around, they go to the river to wash the vegetables, and accidentally slippery feet... simply eliminate the danger in the bud .

They are not allowed to go to the river without the older children.

The wild vegetables they picked seemed to be a lot, but in fact, there were not many of them after they were dried.

"Brother Ren Yu, go and play with Xiao Wu, we can finish it soon." He Zeliu saw that the others were silent, and pointed at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was helping to place the washed wild vegetables on the stone slab so that they could be fully exposed to the sun.

At night, they don't need to take it back. After a day of sun exposure the next day, they can almost take it back and store it to fill their stomachs in winter.

They didn't pick that piece of wild vegetables together every day, but they went out to pick them together every once in a while.

In order to prevent the wild vegetables from getting old and not tasty.

Ren Yu glanced at Xiao Wu: "I..."

"Let me help too." With a smile on his face, Ren walked over quickly, and they had almost done these things.

After finishing these tasks, they could not sit down and rest, but started to prepare dinner.

For the three little ones, Si Ya went to cook, Xiao Wu boiled water, and He Zeliu fed the chickens.

Feed the chickens?

Yes, they have two hens at home.

The speed of laying eggs is the frequency of three eggs in two days. Among the fish and shrimps they caught, those very small fish and shrimps were chopped up and fed to the chickens.

The eggs they lay can be exchanged for money in the town.

They themselves are reluctant to eat.

If you eat it yourself, you can just eat fish, which is also meat anyway.

He Zeliu was also responsible for handling the fish eaten at home.

Ren Yu saw it and was about to say something when he realized that He Zeliu's movements were still very proficient.

You can see what you do often.

The two older children in the family are working with He Zeyang, making up the kind of baskets he made before.

Three people do it together, and the speed is still much faster.

Ren Yu looked around and found sadly that there was no use for him!

He is a simple eater at home.

He realized it painfully.

While the others were not paying attention, he sneakily took some of the bamboo sticks they used to make the baskets, looked at them hesitantly, and found that they didn't notice, he was overjoyed, and started his own plan with confidence. action.

Surely there is no problem!

He has seen them do so much before, it seems very simple!

Ren Yu started to move confidently, "click".

The smile on Ren Yu's face gradually disappeared.

Noticing the eyes of others looking over, he tried hard to put on a "I didn't do anything" expression.

By the way, he put down the evidence in his hand, with a sullen face, "I, I didn't do it on purpose!"

He Zeyang paused, "Go and stack those baskets."

Find him a job to save him from running around and getting upset just looking at it.

The shrunken Ren Yu was shocked, and happily put down the bamboo strips in his hand. According to the other party's words, he stacked these baskets and strung them with vines.

He was not very skilled, but he did it very seriously. After finishing all these things, it was time to eat.

Ren Yu looked at these already stringed baskets, and just now he purposely divided them into a bunch of ten, and put more than two on the ground, which means that during this period of time, they made a total of more than 20.

"It's time to eat." The three little guys helped bring out the food, and there were not many things, so they quickly brought out all these things.

Ren Yu looked forward to dinner tonight, what will it be?

Really curious!

There must be fish.

And it's the kind he likes to eat, the kind with a lot of thorns, it tastes crunchy and delicious.

Seeing that the meals are exactly the same as last night, no, there are still some differences, that is, their meals today are much more than yesterday's.

Vegetables can be said to be a big plate, except for a little salt, there is no other taste.

It's tasteless.

As if eating grass.

Ren Yu felt that when he didn't come here, he shouldn't be disgusted with putting too much oil in the takeaway.

Now they eat so lightly every day, no wonder one or two of them are sallow and thin.

Where can they get fat if they are not full?

Ren Yu thought for a while, but still couldn't think of a good way.

He didn't like these foods, so he ate them obediently.

Wild vegetables without oil are really unpalatable!

Ren Yu was crying while eating.

It's like taking poison.

He Zeyang watched and couldn't help but smiled slightly.

Only the keen He Zeliu noticed, his eyes turned around the two of them, and he felt that his eyes were still very good.

Big brother is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, he obviously likes this, yet he still doesn't admit it!

Today's fish is not as good as yesterday's.

"Do you still want to eat the leftovers?" Ren Yu's eyes were shining, he didn't eat a bite of the fish meat, he didn't like to eat this kind of fish meat, the fish meat was not tasty, but the fish bones were quite delicious.

He Zeyang glanced at it, and saw that all the meat on the fish had been scavenged, leaving only a pair of fish bones, and then nodded, "No more."

As soon as the words fell, they saw that Ren Yu directly pulled the fish bone over, and quickly broke the bone into several pieces under the eyes of others.

Just as he was about to stuff it into his mouth, he raised his head and saw other people looking at him strangely. He paused, "Did something happen?"

"If you want to eat fish, you can tell me. The bones of this fish are easy to get stuck in your throat." He Zeyang thought about it, expressing his meaning tactfully, don't eat these fish with only bones left!

What's so good about this thing?

When I divided the fish just now, I said that I didn't like to eat it.

When Ren Yu listened to his words, she started "clicking" and "clicking", and didn't pay attention to what he said for a while.

After chewing the fish bones and swallowing them, he looked over, "What did you just say?"

He Zeyang: "...It's nothing, your teeth are really good."

Ren Yu was puzzled: "...Huh?"

What is he going to say at this time?Oh, right.

"It's an honor. It's just so-so." Ren Yu grinned, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth.

The other people turned their eyes away and continued to eat. The dinner table suddenly calmed down, only the "click" sound when Ren Yu ate the bone was heard in their mouths, which was surprisingly clear.

They also finally understood why Ren Yu said that he likes to eat bones, the teeth are really good!

After eating and drinking enough, the sky has not yet darkened, so I started to take a bath.

Ren Yu didn't dare to do the same thing as last time this time, he used up half the pot of water at one time, anyway, the weather wasn't very cold, so he just filled a small half pot of hot water to take a bath.

Rinse some cold water in and shower is no problem.

The rest of the family started showering too.

As for the clothes, they take turns to do the laundry. Ren Yu was the last one to do the laundry, and it wasn't his turn yet.

When he took a shower, he found that they had made a few more baskets.

"We're going to the town market tomorrow, will you go?" He Zeyang stood up, put the basket in his hand, and asked.

He has made too many baskets recently. Although his hands are rough and rough, they have been scratched a lot. They are all used to it and take it for granted.

"Can I go with you too?!" Ren Yu said excitedly.

He Zeyang took another look at him, "Of course, we have to go to the town earlier."

Ren Yu was full of chicken blood and boasted, "Of course there is no problem!"

Isn't it just getting up early? !

When it was time to sleep at night, Ren Yu realized that the position of his shoulders was uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

He moved his shoulders secretly. He knew this feeling. After intense exercise, he would feel sore and weak when he woke up the next day.

He just did a little work, it shouldn't matter, right?

Ren Yu thought uncertainly.

"Get up." He Zeyang came back with something, and Ren Yu smelled a strange smell.

Ren Yu got up obediently, very sleepy, "What's the matter?"

"Take off your clothes," He Zeyang motioned him to hurry up, "I'll make medicinal wine for you."

The shocked expression on Ren Yu's face was half astonished, and when he heard the second part of his words, "...when you speak, can you finish it all at once?"

Big brother, it's easy for people to misunderstand you like this!

Ren Yu complained in his heart, and exposed his shoulders by the way.

"It may be a little painful, so be serious." He Zeyang said seriously, "It melts, and it won't be so uncomfortable the next day."

Ren Yu didn't take it seriously, just rubbed it, how painful would it be?

"Come on, I can hold on."

He Zeyang poured a little medicinal wine and melted it in his palm, then put his hand on his shoulder and rubbed it vigorously.

"Ow—"

Caught off guard, Ren Yu couldn't help but yelled out, and rational tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

He Zeyang stopped immediately and looked at him calmly, "Does it hurt?"

"You'll know if you try it..." Ren Yu turned around, covered her mouth halfway through her sentence, why did this voice of anger and crying become coquettish!

He Zeyang watched his tears come out, his heart trembled, he quickly stabilized, and immediately sarcastically said, "The hand is on my body, how can I try it for myself?"

"Can't you move more lightly?" Ren Yu broke the jar and said, what can he do?He couldn't control the physical tears in his body.

He Zeliu heard the movement from their side, and with a certain kind of careful thought, He Zeliu, who was too precocious, came to the door of their room immediately. The matter was urgent, so he didn't have time to knock on the door, so he pushed the door and walked in.

Others followed suit.

As soon as He Zeliu came in, he saw Ren Yu crying and accusing his elder brother? ? ?

Ren Yu still looked disheveled.

"I'm sorry, I didn't break in on purpose. Since you are all right, I'll go back to sleep first."

After speaking, he went out.

Ren Yu blinked blankly, and looked at He Zeyang hesitantly.

He Zeyang recalled He Zeliu's expression just now, and felt a headache, this little guy might still make trouble.

so tired.

"Just say what you want?" If He Zeyang hadn't slept with him before, he would have doubted whether the other party was a girl!

The skin on the body is really good, nothing to say, delicate and tender, tears will fall when you touch it lightly, this look is really fucking good-looking!

He Zeyang felt that if he let him go, he would not be able to find such a satisfactory person in the future... Well, there are such stupid people.

It's good to be stupid, he doesn't want to find a smart one to come back and bully his younger brothers and sisters.

Just like the girl he had been engaged to before.

He Zeyang sighed in his heart, you know, when his parents were still around, their family was the most likely to move out, but after an accident, they were the last to move out.

The world is impermanent.

"Are you feeling better?" He Zeyang stared at him strangely, and his Adam's apple moved up and down.

His height was originally much taller than Ren Yu's, but now that he was sitting on the bed, his shoulders were exposed, and when he lowered his head slightly, he could see the exquisite and beautiful collarbone...

He Zeyang suddenly felt a little dry mouth.

Ren Yu wiped away tears, and glared at him, "No, don't be so strong, you, you take it easy!"

He Zeyang slowly put his palm up, feeling the smooth body under his hand tremble.

This time he really took it easy, Ren Yu is different from rough people like them.

When He Zeyang's big rough hand was placed on his back, there was a strange tactile sensation, and Ren Yu couldn't help moving, and said in a low voice, "Then you can increase your strength a little bit."

He Zeyang put in more effort, "Is this okay?"

He tried his best to think about other things in his mind, so that he could divert his attention from the person in front of him.

Ren Yu snorted a few times comfortably, "It's ok, just this strength."

It was so comfortable, the back was warm, and Ren Yu felt uncomfortable sitting, so he simply lay down and asked He Zeyang to sit on the bed instead of standing still.

Ren Yu was drowsy, and lying on the bed, he tried hard to open his eyes, his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, halfway through his opening, his eyelashes trembled, and finally returned to calm.

He Zeyang tried to increase his strength, but without him, he really felt that the effort was too small to have any effect, "How about this?"

He Zeyang didn't hear his answer, looked down, he had already fallen asleep, seeing how tired he was today, He Zeyang still didn't wake him up, pressed twice, put his things away, and washed his hands , took off his coat, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

Ren Yu got up to wash up with a look of hopelessness, and then quickly ate his breakfast and the lunch they had at noon - a pancake.

Originally they didn't eat at noon, but going to the town took a lot of energy and they needed to eat more.

After Ren Yu put away his lunch, he went to wash his face again, feeling more refreshed.

He fell into deep thought. His understanding of waking up early was probably different from theirs. His waking up early should be the same as yesterday's. Calculated according to 24 hours, it was around seven o'clock in the morning.

Instead of now, they got up and prepared breakfast before the sky was bright.

When they set off, it was not yet bright. He calculated the time. Isn't it around 05:30 in the morning?

It's really insane!

He doesn't want to get up so early at all, okay?

Originally, he thought that when they went to the town, everyone would go together.

Actually.

Just the three of them.

Him, He Zeyang and He Zeliu.

No one else in the family went to town.

He Zeyang took all the stringed baskets by himself, there were as many as three strings, and he even carried some fish to the town to sell.

Ren Yu was watching, but he couldn't see it, so he helped to hold the basket.

He just needs to carry the fish to town.

This weight is not light, a live fish with water.

The price can be much more expensive.

Tired point is also worth it.

When I got to town.

Ren Yu didn't know how long he had walked, but felt that the road today was very long.

It was probably because he felt a little uncomfortable. Last night, He Zeyang rubbed it for him. It was much better, but it was still sour.

"How far away is it?" Ren Yu couldn't help asking.

He Zeliu said, "Just walk a little longer."

Seeing that He Zeliu was also walking steadily, Ren Yu couldn't help feeling ashamed in his heart. It's too embarrassing for him to be inferior to a child.

He gritted his teeth and continued walking. Anyway, He Zeliu also said that they will be there soon.

Sure enough, this time, after they walked for a while, they met more people on the road. Seeing the things they were carrying, they knew that they were going to the town to go to the market.

Several people were refreshed and speeded up.
