Chapter 695: Ran away with a chicken leg
"Aunt, what do you want from us?"
"If there's no rush, I'll send the fish home and raise them first, and then come back." Chen Hui asked.
"It's not urgent, but it's important!"
"Go back and catch the fish first, and come over when you're done," said Yuan Chuanfang.
The black carp has been kept for a long time in a tank that is not suitable for it and has not been oxygenated.
Chen Hui didn't say much, just nodded and rode the motorcycle back home.
It was already dark.
The light from the house shone through the open door onto the village road outside.
It looks particularly quiet from a distance.
Chen Hui rode his bike outside the small gate and honked the horn a few times.
A shadow walking quickly immediately appeared under the light.
An Wenjing poked her head out of the door and said with a smile: "Brother Chen Hui, you are back?!"
"Wife, have you eaten yet? Open the door. I'll park the car first."
"I ate it! I ate it at my mom's place! Wait for me!"
As An Wenjing spoke, she trotted over to open the door in the corner of the room.
Pushing the door to the grocery room and looking inside, he asked with a smile, "Brother Chen Hui, did you get anything today?"
Chen Hui smiled but said nothing.
Park the car, take off the water tank and put it down in the hall.
"Wow! Such a big fish?!" An Wenjing said in surprise.
"Then we can use it to stew two large pots of fish soup, and each table can have a bowl at the housewarming party."
"I'll go get a big water tank and give it a new home."
Chen Hui waved his hands, took the largest water tank in the house and went to the small door in the backyard.
Put the mountain spring water pipe in to drain the water.
Looking at the hall, he asked casually, "Wife, I see the roads in the village haven't been paved yet?"
"Yes! Master He said that they will start draining some mountain springs in the next two days."
"Otherwise, when it rains continuously, there will be many streams and rivers in the village, all filled with mud and dirt."
"Over the years, those sections of road will deteriorate very quickly."
An Wenjing looked at the blue fish curiously and chatted with Chen Hui casually.
"Once we're done with the mountain spring, we'll start working on the village roads. Our housewarming party should also be finished."
"That's good. It's hard to move the things I need after I buy them."
"When Sister Xiulian and the others come back, the bumpy roads will make them cry!"
Chen Hui couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.
"You actually look down on Sister Xiulian so much. I'll tell her next time." An Wenjing also laughed.
Chen Hui pinched her face.
He went to the hall and moved the water tank over, poured out some of the water inside, and poured the herring into the large tank.
Plug in the power and turn on the oxygen machine.
"Brother Chen Hui, what should we do with these small ones?" An Wenjing asked.
"Just put them all in there and keep them. It doesn't matter if they can't survive. I'll just eat them all tomorrow!"
As Chen Hui spoke, he put the remaining fish into the water tank.
The smaller ones have basically already turned over.
There were two slightly larger ones, their gills were still opening and closing, and their bodies were crooked.
Chen Hui tried to lift them up, but gave up after failing several times.
Seeing that his clothes were all wet, he went upstairs and got down a set of clean clothes.
I took a shower as quickly as possible and changed into clean clothes.
He wiped his hair with a towel twice, hung it back on the towel rack and asked:
"Aunt just said she had something to talk to me about. I'm going to go see what it is. Do you want to go?"
An Wenjing shook her head.
Sit back in your original seat and continue reading and studying.
"You really work hard! From now on, I'll leave my child's studies to you."
"As a poor student, I am responsible for taking them to the sea to catch fish and climbing trees to take bird eggs."
Chen Hui joked and went to Chen Xiaoqiao's house.
The rich aroma of chicken soup wafted from the kitchen. Chen Xiaoqiao was sitting at the dining table drinking chicken soup. Yuan Chuanfang saw Chen Hui coming over, stood up, waved and shouted, "Come in, come in!"
He walked into the kitchen and brought out a bowl of chicken soup for Chen Hui.
He put it on the table and said, "Here! Drink it."
"what?!"
Chen Hui was confused, "Aunt, this is the important thing you said?"
"Isn't this important? This is chicken soup!" Yuan Chuanfang asked back.
There was no way to refute this, so he nodded and smiled, "It's important, it's important."
"Chen Hui, aren't you going to have a housewarming party the day after tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is the only day left, and I wonder why you haven't made any preparations at all?"
"You didn't invite anyone to dinner, and you didn't buy anything I asked for."
"Who will help you then? Will Huihong and your uncle come?"
Yuan Chuanfang sat down at one side and started asking questions in a barrage of questions.
"I'm going to do these things tomorrow!"
"If the village wants to invite someone, take out the favor list at home tomorrow and ask Uncle Xiaoqiao to notify them."
Chen Xiaoqiao was drinking chicken soup happily.
Suddenly, he heard Chen Hui mention him, so he raised his head while holding the spoon and asked, "Me?!"
"Is there a problem with asking you to go?" Chen Hui glanced at the bucket of fish.
"No problem!" Chen Xiaoqiao lowered his head and continued to drink the soup.
Chen Hui also took a sip and continued:
"As for the other relatives and friends that I want to invite, I've already told them long ago. I can just talk to them tomorrow."
"We'll hire someone else to do the work this time, and just let them buy firewood and vegetables."
"oops!"
Everything went smoothly.
As Chen Hui was talking, he suddenly remembered something more important.
"Look, you forgot something, right? What did you just remember now?" Yuan Chuanfang asked.
"The piece of land in front of the village gate is now full of stones, sand and other things," said Chen Hui.
No one in the village has such a big hall.
What kind of wedding wine and wedding banquet are usually needed?
They borrowed tables, chairs and benches from neighbors and villagers and placed them on the concrete space outside the village.
"Can we put a few tables on the bridge?" Chen Xiaoqiao said after thinking for a while.
"If we squeeze in a little, and add the empty space at the bridge head, we should be able to put in four or five tables."
"If we open this door, we can set up three tables in the yard."
"Chen Hui, you are an important guest, so please come inside."
"One table here, and we'll squeeze another table into the kitchen later."
With this calculation, eight or nine tables were arranged.
Yuan Chuanfang made some plans and then asked Chen Hui, "How many tables do you want to host? This should be enough, right?"
"Enough is enough, it is definitely enough!"
"If there really isn't enough by then, I'll arrange for the guests from the county to go back to my own home."
Chen Hui drank the chicken soup and nodded repeatedly.
"Eat quickly, and then go home and make the list."
"If it's not enough, it's better to arrange it as soon as possible!"
"Tell me tomorrow how many tables you want to set up. I'll go borrow stools, tables, pots, pans, and other things for you."
After Yuan Chuanfang finished speaking, he stood up and went back into the kitchen.
He took out the pot of stewed chicken soup and added some soup for Chen Hui and Chen Xiaoqiao.
"Mom! I don't want to drink anymore! I ate a lot tonight!"
Chen Xiaoqiao quickly ran away with the bowl.
Chen Hui saw that the situation was not right, so he tilted his head back and poured all the chicken soup in the bowl into his stomach.
He grabbed the chicken drumstick in the bowl and said as he ran, "Aunt, I'm leaving first. I'll go back and sort out the list!"
