255. Chapter 254 It Was Just a Drill (1/2)

Chapter 254 It was just a drill

After working all day, when Li Duoyu finished most of the things, it was already dark, with only a faint blue in the west.

"Everyone go home first, and come back tomorrow."

The second sister-in-law, who was still squeezing the blood out of the fish eggs, said: "It's almost done, your brother and I will go back after we finish it."

It was winter, but Chen Wenchao, who was sweating all over, smiled and said: "Brother Yu, I'm not in a hurry, I'll steam these fish before leaving."

Li Duoyu frowned slightly: "Then I'll go first."

He only ate some seafood at noon, and his stomach was already growling with hunger. If he didn't go back, his eyes might turn black.

Before going home.

Li Duoyu came to the sampan at the dock and picked up the bag of seafood temporarily kept in the fish cage.

But what made Li Duoyu dumbfounded was that due to his momentary negligence, he put the swimming crab and the porcupine in the same cage.

The four large swimming crabs were all dismembered by the porcupine fish, and they were all missing arms and legs and could only be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

Li Duoyu looked at the porcupine fish that was as big as a ball and said to himself: "Even if I give you a meal before execution, I will let you go later."

Li Duoyu, who was carrying the porcupine fish, just returned home and smelled a burnt smell and a sour smell from the kitchen.

No need to guess, today my mother cooked the salty rice and pickled vegetable and pork ribs soup that he liked very much.

Seeing Li Duoyu coming home, Chen Huiying said with a frown: "You all come back so late, the salty rice has all become pot stickers, have your brother and your sister-in-law come back?"

"They may be late today."

A Niang couldn't help but sigh: "You all only care about money now, and don't eat well. I don't know how to cook for you."

"Just cook whatever you want, we are not picky eaters, mother, scoop a piece of pot stickers for me to eat first."

The fat kid who was watching TV with the door closed immediately said after hearing it: "Grandma, give us a few pot stickers too."

After hearing the voice, Li Duoyu pushed open the hall door and found three little ones hiding in the hall, secretly watching "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck" with the volume turned up very low.

In this era, if you don't want to be disturbed by others when you have a TV at home, you can only watch it secretly with the door closed, otherwise it will definitely attract a lot of people if you turn it up loudly.

When the neighbors see you close the door, they will naturally feel embarrassed to knock on the door.

However, after the broadcast of "Blood Doubt", CCTV introduced a new film "Huo Yuanjia", which is a martial arts film that is loved by men, women, young and old.

When Li Haoran saw his uncle, he greeted him naively: "Uncle, you are back."

The other two children were the two younger sons of his cousin Li Shuguang. When they saw Li Duoyu, they were a little nervous because they made faces at him when they moved the color TV away from their house.

The two hesitated and said: "Uncle Duoyu."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Is the TV good?"

The three children nodded like chickens pecking at rice: "It's good, very good."

Seeing that their eyes were shining, Li Duoyu couldn't help but say: "Have you done your homework? I heard from your aunt that your grades have regressed recently."

Li Haoran grinned and said: "I haven't regressed. I am very stable and have been around 60 points."

The other two children said proudly: "We haven't changed much either. We have always failed."

Li Duoyu was speechless for a while, but he himself was a poor student and really had no right to say them.

"After reading, remember to do your homework."

After Li Duoyu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen and drank a bowl of steaming pickled vegetable and pork ribs soup. After the salty soup entered his stomach, he instantly felt comfortable.

Then, Li Duoyu ate three bowls of salty rice, and only then did he feel a little full.

When he returned to the room, he found Zhou Xiaoying sitting in the bedroom with a sad face, lifting up her clothes and squeezing, but it seemed that she couldn't squeeze out anything.

She is very distressed now. When she had a lot of milk before, it was blocked and painful. Now the milk is less, and it is not blocked or swollen, but it is not enough for Xiao Tutu to drink.

Now Xiao Tutu has to drink at least two bottles of milk a day, but Zhou Xiaoying can't squeeze out that much.

Li Duoyu glanced at the less than half a bottle of milk, and immediately understood why his wife was so sad.

"Xiaoying, I caught a big porcupine today and made soup for you. I promise you'll be a cow."

"You are the cow. These days, my mother has given me many things to eat, but none of them worked."

"Have you rarely let Tutu suck recently? Do you use a bottle to feed him?"

Zhou Xiaoying nodded.

"I've been busy recently, and Tutu keeps biting me, so I do use a bottle more often. But does my lack of milk have anything to do with the bottle?"

"Yes, of course."

Li Duoyu said casually, "You need to stimulate frequently to produce milk. You use the bottle too much, so naturally you produce less and less."

"There is such a saying. How come I don't know? No, I use my hands, isn't it also really stimulating?"

"Can I be the same as others?"

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and looked at Li Duoyu. When other men encounter such questions, they usually don't know anything, but she found that her husband seemed to know a lot.

If they hadn't grown up together, they would know each other well. If they didn't know, they would have thought he had been married before and taken care of other women.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoying staring at him, Li Duoyu quickly laughed and said, "I also heard it from others. How about I stimulate you and maybe you will get your milk."

Seeing Li Duoyu's smirk, Zhou Xiaoying glared and said, "Why are you so careless? The child is still young and can't understand. When he grows up, you can't say anything in front of him."

"It's still a long time, why are you in such a hurry? I'll make you some porcupine soup first. After drinking it, maybe you will get your milk."

After saying that, Li Duoyu came to the kitchen and used the back of a knife to give the porcupine fish some end-of-life care, and then peeled the porcupine fish neatly.

Fishermen usually don't remove the spines of this fish because it's too troublesome. The spines of this thing are different from those of a hedgehog. They are triangular and look a bit like caltrops, which are super difficult to remove.

If you have to remove the spines, you usually cook until the fish skin becomes soft before you remove them.

But it is also very painful to pull out the thorns, because there are more than 300 thorns of all sizes on the whole porcupine.

One or two is okay, but if there are more, I can really pull them out forever.

When I was working illegally in the island country, Li Duoyu was most afraid of encountering customers who ordered porcupines. Every time someone ordered this kind of porcupine fish, Li Duoyu couldn't help but greet his family in his heart.

After peeling off the skin.

Li Duoyu cut the fish skin into several pieces, added some ginger, and stewed it with the fish meat in an aluminum pot.

While stewing the fish, Li Duoyu smelled the full sea smell on his body, took off his clothes, and took a bath by the way.

Taking a bath in winter is not as comfortable as in summer. The well water is a bit scary at ice cold, so I usually wash it in a washbasin at home.

Every time I go fishing, I often wash out a basin of dirty water with a sea smell.

After Li Duoyu finished taking a bath, the fish soup in the aluminum pot turned into a milky white soup, and the fish skin became soft and elastic. At first glance, it was full of collagen. Li Duoyu tried the taste and it was very fresh, without any fishy smell. The freshness was not inferior to its poisonous relative.

"Xiaoying, come and eat fish and drink soup."

Zhou Xiaoying, who really couldn't squeeze out milk, gave up squeezing milk and sat on the table to drink fish soup.

Just after taking a sip, her eyes lit up instantly: "Why is this soup so delicious?"

Li Duoyu smiled: "It's not that the soup is delicious, it's that your husband has good skills. If someone else cooks it, it won't taste this good at all."

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him: "You have such good skills, why don't you just stop farming and go to a hotel to be a chef."

Hearing the word "chef", Li Duoyu frowned: "If a talent like me becomes a chef, it will be a little useless."

"I don't know who it was. He used to yell that he wanted to go to the island country to be a chef all day long, and he wanted to leave me alone on the island as a widow."

Li Duoyu said awkwardly: "The past is the past, and the present is now. How can it be the same?"

"What's different?"

When the two of them were talking, Xiao Tutu started crying, and Zhou Xiaoying just put down the spoon.

Li Duoyu said: "Eat slowly, don't get pricked, I'll go and comfort him."

When Li Duoyu came to the bedroom, he found that Xiao Tutu had already stood up by grabbing the bed guard. Although he can't walk now, he can stand for a long time and thinks about "prison break" every day.

No one played with him, and the little Tutu, who was aggrieved, made a sound of "Dad" when he saw Li Duoyu.

Every time he heard him call "Dad", Li Duoyu was particularly happy: "My dear son, Dad is here."

Because little Tutu called Dad first, Zhou Xiaoying was angry and lost for a while.

As a "veteran", Li Duoyu knew very well that if a father spends enough time with his children and often teaches his son to call Dad.

The probability of the child calling "Dad" when he first opens his mouth is much higher than calling "Mom", and the reason is very simple.

Because for babies, the pronunciation of dad is easier and easier to say than mom.

Li Duoyu shook the rattle and made faces. He laughed heartily.

Little Tutu's favorite is the "inflatable tiger". Press the airbag and the plastic tiger will jump.

Every time he sees the tiger jump, little Tutu will laugh sweetly and chase it while climbing.

Because the porcupine soup is so delicious, Zhou Xiaoying accidentally ate all the fish soup and fish skin.

After eating, she pinched the fat on her waist and frowned. In order to increase her milk supply, she ate a lot of chicken, duck and fish these days, and she felt like she had gained several pounds.

Next, she scooped some boiling water into the wooden basin, turned off the light, took off her shirt in the bedroom, and began to wipe her body.

Through the mosquito net, Zhou Xiaoying could clearly feel that Li Duoyu was staring at her.

"How can I take a bath if you keep looking at me like this?"

Originally, Li Duoyu was a little tired today, but after seeing this scene, the small tent was set up by itself.

"We are an old couple, what's there to be embarrassed about? When I was taking a bath, didn't you keep looking at me?"

Zhou Xiaoying blushed and said, "No way, you have to turn on the light when you take a bath."

"Who is like you, who turns off the light when you wipe your body."

Li Duoyu in the mosquito net looked at Zhou Xiaoying a few more times, turned around, patted the little ancestor gently, and hummed a lullaby.

"In the blue sky and the Milky Way

there is a small white boat

and on the boat there is a sweet-scented osmanthus tree."

But the little ancestor's eyes were wide open, and he seemed to want to play with him, and he laughed happily from time to time.

Li Duoyu regretted it a little. If he had known, he should not have made him so excited just now. Now it is difficult to coax him to sleep.

It took more than half an hour, Li Duoyu's lips were almost dry, and he finally coaxed the little ancestor to sleep.

Xiaoying had already finished her bath and sat at the desk.

Li Duoyu patted the bed.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed."

"It's the literacy class organized by your village committee. I need to prepare the get out of class a little, otherwise I don't know how to teach on the podium."

"They, just teach them casually, teach them to recognize some words, why do you take it so seriously."

"That won't work. They are all neighbors and relatives. They have come to class. You can't just deal with it casually."

"Come over first, I've coaxed the child to sleep."

Zhou Xiaoying looked at him with disdain. He kept urging her like this, and she really couldn't prepare for the class, so she put down her pen. As a result, as soon as she sat on the bed, she was pulled into the quilt by Li Duoyu.

"Have you taken a bath?"

"I have already washed it."

After a while.

Zhou Xiaoying got out of bed, smoothed her hair in front of her, and asked, "Are you too tired recently?"

Although Xiaoying spoke very tactfully, Li Duoyu could hear it and said shamelessly:

"It was just an exercise just now. Let me think about it. I guarantee you will give it a five-star rating."

"No, it's too late. I have classes tomorrow. I want to go to bed."

"What time is it? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at him: "When I was preparing for class just now, you said it was late."

The impatient Li Duoyu turned Zhou Xiaoying back and was about to start the next storm.

But at this moment, Zhang Jinsha, who was also a member of the village committee, ran over, knocked on their door, and shouted, "Duoyu, are you there?"

Li Duoyu, who was about to get to the point, was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. He was a little angry and didn't want to respond at all.

But Zhou Xiaoying shouted, "He's here. He just fell asleep. I'll wake him up."

Zhang Jinsha outside the door continued, "Sister-in-law, please call him. Someone at the end of the village is fighting with people from the next village. If we don't go, something bad might happen."
