Chapter 92 Uncle 3 is generous

Chapter 92 Uncle San is generous
Mrs. Li didn't want to mess around with her brother-in-law, so she pointed at Li Xiaoyang who was hiding behind him with a dark face and said, "Today, for the sake of your third uncle, I'll let you off this time. Just go to the ditch and wash yourself!"

Li Xiaoyang cautiously poked his head in and looked at her, "I can wash, but you have to promise first that you won't chase me and beat me when I come out!"

Seeing his expression, Mrs. Li was furious. "If you have the guts, just keep hiding behind your Third Uncle. I promise to give you bamboo shoots fried with meat!"

Li Changle turned his head to look at his silly nephew and slapped him on the butt. "Hurry up, go back and wash your head and face, don't make your mother angry."

"Yes, Xiaoyang, listen to your third uncle and change your clothes quickly and wash your head and face." Zhou Ruonan and Li Ersao, who came out after hearing the voice, also advised.

Li Xiaoyang thought of the soda and nodded quickly, "Mother, I was wrong. I will go wash my face and hair right now. Don't worry, I promise I will wash them thoroughly."

"If you can't wash it clean, I'll settle the score with you!" Mrs. Li's eyes were as sharp as knives. She glared at him and walked into the house with a bamboo stick in her hand.

Li Xiaoyang winked at Li Changle, "Uncle San, remember to buy me a soda!"

Li Changle waved her hand, "Wash quickly, and take your sister-in-law to buy some." Judging from the strength of his attack, it seemed that he had not hit her hard enough just now, so it didn't hurt.

Come to think of it, I still feel that my eldest son is a well-behaved child. If I had raised a disobedient child like Xiaoyang, my life span would be shortened by a few years.

"Oh oh!" Li Xiaoyang waved at Li Xiaotao who was hiding behind the door and looking out, "Traitor, hurry up and get out to work."

"Brother, is Uncle San going to cash in the prize?"

"Yeah! I told you, Third Uncle is more generous than Aunt."

Li Changle looked at the two brothers who were skipping away, and suddenly remembered that he had wanted to eat braised pork so much that he drooled.

He smiled and shook his head, then carried the bucket into the house and saw Zhou Ruonan had already started cooking. "Anan, I brought back some lobsters and cooked them to go with the wine tonight."

"Put it there first. I'll put the rice in the pot and clean it up later." Zhou Ruonan said with a smile, "Xiaoyang brought a few crucian carps over. I fried them until both sides were golden brown and cooked them in a dry soup."

"No, I'll clean it up."

"Crayfish are hard to clean. If you don't clean them properly, they will smell like mud."

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Li Changle took vinegar and salt, poured them into a porcelain basin, added water, poured the crayfish directly into it, soaked it for more than ten minutes, and waited for the crayfish to spit out the mud and dirt.

After cleaning, peel off the head shell, pinch the middle tail fin of the lobster tail, and pull out the shrimp line...

Zhou Ruonan came over after cooking the rice. Seeing him skillfully handling the lobster, she asked curiously, "When did you learn to do this?"

Li Changle looked at her with a playful smile, "I know a lot more. Just watch and you will find that your man is a rough diamond, waiting for you, his teacher, to polish him."

Zhou Ruonan felt that there was no man in the world who was more shameless than him, "Bah! You say all kinds of shameless things every day."

"I'm only telling you this because you're my wife. I wouldn't even bother looking at other women."

"Grumpy."

Li Changle came forward and said, "Where is the oil..."

"..."

After the two of them cleaned the crayfish, Zhou Ruonan put them in the pot, while Li Changle went to collect the dried fish and the dozen or so seahorses that had been drying in the sun.

After being dried in the sun for two days, the fish jerky has completely dried.

Li Changle squeezed the seahorses. Seahorses were small in size and they dried up in a day under the sun.

Zhou Ruonan had cleaned the membrane on the surface of the seahorse and removed the internal organs, but there was still a strong fishy smell.

He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, an old Chinese doctor in the pharmacy said that if you are not used to the smell of the sea, you can blanch the seahorse in boiling water for three to five minutes. After filtering out the water and drying it in the sun, the fishy smell will be lighter.

He put the dried seahorses into a sack and the dried fish into a winnowing basket. He then remembered what Awei said about there being many seahorses near the island, so he thought of asking Zhou Ruonan to weave two small nets for him, and walked into the house with the winnowing basket in hand.

"Uncle San, we've finished washing." Li Xiaoyang and his brother came over with wooden basins, "Look, we've washed the clothes too."

Li Changle looked back and saw that the mud on the two children's hair had been washed clean. "If you had done this earlier, your mother wouldn't have beaten you."

"I understand. A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. I won't talk back to my mother anymore."

"..."

"Uncle San," Li Xiaoyang looked at him flatteringly, "Where's our soda?"

"I'm not going to blame you!" Li Changle knocked him on the forehead, "How much is a bottle?"

"Six cents a bottle." Li Xiaoyang said with an apologetic smile, "I'll buy it once, and I won't buy it again in the future."

Li Changle didn't expect it to be cheaper than a fire-baked bun, so he took out a dollar and gave it to him, "Give some to your sisters as well, and return the change to me."

"Yeah!" Li Xiaoyang happily handed over the money, "I'll go call my brother."

Li Changle waved without even turning her head, and returned to the house with the dustpan. The aroma of crayfish wafted over from the kitchen.

"Ah Le, call Xiao Hai and Xiao Zhou back for dinner."

Li Changle put away the dustpan and went over to tell her about the lobster fishing competition. "I went to the store to buy soda. I saw that they wanted to drink soda more than I wanted to drink roasted meat before." "Children are like this. When they see others who have never eaten it, they think it's rare. Let them try it once, and they will know the taste and won't want it anymore."

"Yes, and..." Li Changle told her about weaving a small net to catch seahorses. As long as it was about making money, she would naturally support it with all her strength. She immediately expressed her willingness to weave two for him after dinner.

As soon as the food was served on the table, Li Xiaoyang ran in with a group of children, each holding a bottle of soda in their hands.

Li Xiaohai took out a handful of money from his pocket and put it on the table, "Dad, this is the change." After a pause, he continued, "Uncle Wei said that grandma told him to eat at home and not come."

"Yes!" Li Changle put the money in his pocket and glanced at a few people, "Go wash your hands and eat crayfish."

"Let's go home and eat." Li Xiaoyang and others ran home with soda.

Li Changle helped bring out the crayfish and saw the two children staring at the soda without moving. "Didn't you like it very much? Why don't you drink it after buying it?"

“We can’t drive.”

"Dad will open it for you." Li Changle then saw that it was a tin cap. He picked it up and put it in his mouth and took a bite. The cap opened and bubbles in the bottle kept rising.

"Dad, mine is orange flavored." Li Xiaozhou took a sip and smiled like a cat that stole food. "My grandma bought it for me. Try it. It's very sweet."

"Good son!" Li Changle picked it up and took a sip, "It tastes good!"

Li Xiaohai picked it up and placed it in front of him, "Dad, try my orange flavored one, which grandma bought for me last time."

"The orange flavor is good too." Li Changle happily put a crayfish in their bowl with chopsticks, "Don't just drink soda, eat something before drinking."

"So spicy!" Li Xiaohai stuck out his tongue and sucked his fingers, "It's spicy and delicious!"

Zhou Ruonan brought out the crucian carp and dried vegetable soup, "Mother put two chili peppers in it, eat less to avoid getting a sore throat."

"My boss and I both like spicy food, it goes well with wine." Li Changle took a sip of rice wine, "An Nan, you have a drink too."

Zhou Ruonan: "No, drinking once in a while is fine, but drinking every day will turn you into an alcoholic."

"Old wine tastes spicy, and I don't like spicy food." Li Xiaozhou took a sip of soda, "I like sweet food."

"If you eat too much sweet food, your teeth will rot." Zhou Ruonan picked up the fish belly meat and put it in his bowl, "Don't just drink soda, drink some fish soup."

"No, we won the soda, and Dad promised to give it to us."

Zhou Ruonan looked at her youngest son who didn't eat well and glared at Li Changle, "You are just like them, you can't grow up."

Li Changle looked innocent and said to his youngest son, "See? If you don't eat well, your mother will glare at me. In the future, your father won't dare to give you money to buy food."

Li Xiaozhou looked at him, then at A Niang, "A Niang is the head of our family, right?"

"..."

Li Changle asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"

Li Xiaohai explained: "When we went to buy soda, we met Lao Wai. Xiao Yang asked him to go back and ask his father to buy it. He said that his mother was the head of the family. His mother glared at his father and he didn't dare to give him money."

Li Changle smiled and said, "Your mother is the head of our family. The money that Dad gave you to buy soda is the pocket money that your mother gave me."

Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes, wondering why these men had to tell children everything.

Li Xiaohai looked at him with sympathy, "Dad, Grandpa Dong said that you can get a refund of one cent for each soda bottle. My brother and I will return the soda bottle and give you the money."

"Dad still has some money, you can save it and lend it to me when my pocket money is gone."

"Hey!" The child nodded happily.

"Okay, eat well. The fish soup has a strong fishy smell when it gets cold." Zhou Ruonan scooped a bowl of crucian carp and dried vegetable soup for the three of them and said to Li Changle, "Are you going to collect the cans tonight?"

Li Changle nodded, "Let's go to the grove first, and then take a look over there."

"Then eat and take a rest, so you don't get tired too late."

"It's okay to lie down for a while." After eating and drinking, Li Changle pulled a chair and a bench to the back door to rest. The two children and Li Xiaoyang went to return the soda bottles.

There was a cool breeze and I actually fell asleep leaning against the bamboo chair. I didn't wake up until Zhou Ruonan asked the child to take a bath and go to bed.

He stroked his little son who was standing naked on the stone steps waiting for a shower and said, "Be good and stay home. Dad is going to fish in the sea."

Li Xiaozhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Dad, please buy more good stuff."

"Dad, Grandpa said his legs are better and he can use his strength now." The eldest son ran in happily.

"That's great. Dad, go and take a look." Li Changle hurried to his parents' house and saw Father Li walking in from the back door with a cane.

I hurried forward to support him, "Is it right to listen to me? Eat well and get enough nutrition, so that your injured leg can recover faster."

Father Li thought about the food after returning home and said with a smile: "I will eat good food every day after returning home. In the morning, I will have dragon and phoenix soup. They are all good tonics. It would be strange if they are not good!"

"I also caught a dozen seahorses. Anan has dried them. I'm going to buy a chicken tomorrow and stew the seahorses with some angelica and astragalus."
