When I got home, the knocker was locked.

Mother should go to work, Wang Qiang took out the key and opened the door.

Pushing the door in, a smell of rice came, and he looked at it, and there was rice in the bamboo basket. Although his mother said yesterday that she would let herself cook from today, she still got up at four o'clock in the morning today to cook, Wang Qiang's heart was sour, his mother was too hardworking, and he had to work hard to earn some money, at least to help the family pay off the debt first.

That's right.

See how much money you're earning today.

Before he even had time to bring the tub in, Wang Qiang couldn't wait to put his hand in his pocket and take out the money.

Let's go.

A dime coin fell to the ground, and he hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and now he was poor and had no money, and a dime was money, and then he piled a pile of bits and pieces of money on the table.

There are red banknotes, two green banknotes, and even purple five-cent banknotes and brown one-cent banknotes, all of which are the marks of the times.

Wang Qiang didn't care about what he remembered, he couldn't hold back the excitement of succeeding in business for the first time, and was eager to know how much money he had made.

A dime.

Two pieces of one.

Thirty-three pieces eight.

Soon, he counted the money, plus the forty yuan he sold to Lu Dahai's tarpon, and today he made a full profit of one hundred and fifty-two yuan and three cents, not counting the money for buying meat and gluten!

One day.

Because there is no cost except for fishing gear, this money can be regarded as pure earning.

Now workers are only paid 300 yuan a month.

I actually sold fish and earned half a month's wages as a worker?

Wang Qiang is very excited, he knows that now people's awareness of doing business has just been born, and more people are still staying at work to hold iron rice bowls, so they can make money by fishing, and in a few years, the era of doing business casually and making money will be gone.

Of course, if you change to two in the vegetable market, you may make much less money than this if you sell so many fish in the same way, because those two are artificially farmed fish from others, which requires a certain cost.

After being excited for a while, Wang Qiang barely calmed down, he thought about it, had lunch, and continued to put the cage into the river.

So he began to make lunch by himself, killing four or five crucian carp and braising them, dividing them into two bowls, as well as gluten roasted pork, and finally carrying them in plastic baskets for his grandparents to try.

Nowadays, in the countryside, fish and meat are rare to eat, no matter what, as a grandson, you should be filial to the elderly.

……

It's noon.

As soon as Wang Qiang walked out of the door, he felt that the sun was like a big ball of fire, burning, it was constantly pouring excessive light and heat into the earth, the whole earth seemed to be burning, and the air inhaled into his lungs was full of hot and spicy smell.

Looking up at the sky, the sky is clear, floating white clouds, these white clouds are connected layer by layer, like the silver waves rolling in the ocean, and like the sea stone flowers blooming on the mountains or islands and reefs, it should be a good weather in the afternoon, it will not rain, and you can rest assured that you can get under the fishing cage.

Because of the hot weather, he walked back quickly, turned a corner, and came to his grandparents' house.

Before entering the door, Wang Qiang saw his grandfather and grandmother eating around a small round table, with loofah edamame on it, and the others were gone.

"Grandpa, grandma. Wang Qiang stepped into the threshold and said hello.

Grandma looked up and said, "Yo, you're back, your mother can't find you in the morning, let alone be angry." ”

"You talk a lot. "Grandpa has diabetes, and his eyes can't see anymore," he said, "Give Qiangzi a bowl of rice and eat it together." ”

Wang Qiang put down the plastic basket and said with a smile: "I made some fish and meat and sent them to you to eat." ”

Grandma, who was just about to get up, hurriedly said, "Your grandfather has diabetes and can't eat braised food." ”

"Yes, take it back, you two eat. Grandpa said.

The two old men were not even curious about where they would get the money to buy fish and meat.

Wang Qiang couldn't figure this out a little, but in line with the principle that more things are better than less, he still replied: "There is no sugar, grandpa can eat, just eat less." ”

Grandma excused herself: "That's not good, you and Cheng Lin don't have anything to eat at home, take it back and get it back." "Cheng Lin is Wang Qiang's mother's name.

Grandpa was silent, apparently to the same point.

Seeing this, Wang Qiang immediately said: "There are still people at home, don't shirk your second elder, I'm also here for lunch, you can't let me eat loofah edamame, fish and meat have to wait until my mother comes back to eat, right?"

Seeing that it was at this point, Grandpa gave the order, "Jiannan, why are you stunned? ”

Grandma's full name is Zhang Jiannan, and after listening to her grandfather's decision, she had to mumbble to serve rice, which roughly means that you shouldn't eat Hadron fish and meat, and Wang Qiang's family has no money or something like that.

While grandma was going to serve dinner, grandpa said in the direction where Wang Qiang was talking just now: "Qiangzi, I heard Xiao Chen next door say that you went to the vegetable market to sell fish in the morning?"

Wang Qiang was moving a small stool, hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, no wonder his grandparents didn't suspect where they got the money to buy fish and meat, they already knew, since they knew, there was nothing to hide, he took the stool to the small round table and sat down, and said, "Yes, I caught some fish in the cage yesterday, and I took them to sell." ”

Grandma came to the table with a rice bowl, handed it over, and said with concern: "How much did it cost?"

"You don't care how much the hadron sells, eat. Grandpa erected his chopsticks, and then turned to say, "Is there thirty?"

Wang Qiang was a little crying and laughing, he thought that his grandfather would not ask, who would have thought that he would come back with such a sentence.

He thought about it carefully, and was afraid that saying one hundred and five would scare his grandparents, so he simply followed his grandfather's words, "Yes, it was sold for fifty." ”

Grandma was startled, "So many?"

Grandpa had put the rice bowl to his mouth, but when he heard that he had made fifty yuan by selling fish, he hurriedly put down the bowl, "Fifty yuan!?"

Wang Qiang blinked, feeling that he still had to say too much, but the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to take it back, so he sandwiched a piece of meat for his grandfather and said, "Well, yes, I caught more fish today." "Fortunately, I didn't tell the truth about one hundred and fifteen, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell my grandparents where to go.

"Good!" Grandpa said only one word, and then did not speak again.

It's the grandmother, eating the fish belly meat that Wang Qiang gave her, but her eyes frequently look at this "naughty" grandson, as if she doesn't know her anymore, and at the same time she feels a little embarrassed in her heart, the children of poor families have long been in charge, and the second grandson is too sensible.

Wang Qiang buried his head in eating, put a piece of braised pork in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and his heart couldn't be calm for a long time.

Before, my mother was reluctant to even eat eggs, so she made a tomato scrambled egg for the sake of Wang Qiang's return.

Now, with the hard work of his own hands, he has earned more than 150 yuan in one morning, which is enough to buy dozens of catties of meat.

Wang Qiang suddenly found that his grandparents didn't eat fish and meat at all, and he wondered, "Why don't you two eat it?"

"No, no. Grandma waved her hand, her eyes staring at the fish, but the chopsticks reached for the loofah edamame.

Needless to say, Wang Qiang also understood, his grandparents were reluctant to eat, so he simply didn't ask, and directly stretched out his chopsticks to help the two of them pick up vegetables.

"Grandma, eat meat. ”

"Eh, enough is enough. ”

"Grandpa, eat fish, the belly of the fish has no thorns. ”

"Good, good. ”

Watching his grandparents eat with their mouths full of oil, Wang Qiang is full of a sense of accomplishment, he is using practical actions to improve the life of his family, although it has just begun, but it will get better and better in the future.

Come on.

For a better tomorrow.
