Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

225 Incomplete Awareness About Second Miss

Liu Yan understood clearly what she ought to do – obey Qiao Xuan’s order. For example, right now, when Qiao Xuan ordered her to carry the basket and bucket to the riverside, she should follow it quietly.

Was she without help? No, she was just trained to carry a bucket!

The group came to the riverside where the water grass was flourishing and the surface was broad. They started to work proficiently.

With her superpower, Qiao Xuan could see big fish swimming across the grass freely, and she really wanted to help.

It was time for her to get a fish net and learn to fish!

Shao Xiaoqi was fishing when Yang Xiaoni offered a hand. She had the basket around her waist, and went into the river to scoop up the shrimps.

Shao Taotao and Qiao Xuan dug some pawns from under the stone somewhere where the water was not so deep.

Liu Yan did not have the intention of going into the water, nor did Qiao Xuan ask her to. She was ordered to watch over the things on the bank.

She spent so many years inside the mansion, and she would have never learned how to get into water. She might even scare the fish and shrimps away after being slow-handed.

Liu Yan was shocked.

She knew that the Second Miss had changed. But what she had not expected was that she never knew Second Miss well enough.

How did Second Miss learn to do this?

Qiao Xuan flipped the stone and caught a shrimp at each attempt. Fish and shrimp were different. They were never fast enough to escape the siege.

They were slow enough to be caught, even when they ran from one rock to the other.

Shao Taotao and Qiao Xuan were excited and soon they had more than twenty and thirty shrimps in the basket.

Yang Xiaoni did not spend much effort to scoop the shrimps, which were of different sizes, some were really small.

Sometimes they would find a couple of loaches, some large fish or eels.

Crabs were available too, but she tossed them back into the river.

Shao Xiaoqi was watching over the fishing poles. The fish here were never caught, so they were easily hooked.

He kept getting the fish from the river one after another.

Liu Yan went to help put the fish into the bucket.

Seeing the fish in the bucket, Liu Yan could not help but feel happy, thinking that it was a fun activity.

After a while, they all went home with the harvest.

They had a heavy basket of small river prawns and small fish, a large basket of prawns, and two buckets filled with fish. There were mandarin fish, yellowhead catfish, carp, crucian carp, shrimp loach, catfish, as well as two black fish and a grouper.

Back at home, they put the hopping fish into the jar, and Qiao Xuan poured some superpower into the water, because of which the watergrass grew so that the fish started to look energetic.

They kept the shrimps in the basin for dinner.

Qiao Xuan planned to boil the prawns in boiling water, mix it with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger to dip them in water, peel off the shells of the prawns and eat them directly.

That was the best way to eat fresh shrimp.

Then they poured the small shrimps and fish into the basin and scooped out the small fish.

The small shrimps were baked in the pot, so were the fish, which had very soft and thin bones. They needed to be carefully flipped and baked separately with the shrimps, since they cracked easily.
