Chapter 29: Sending Fish
"Yo! Yu'er, Xiaoyan is here. Look, I'm going to bring you a big fish today. ”
Xiao Yan and Xia Yu and I were eating lunch, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked into our door with a big fish hanging on water weeds.
At a glance, we found that it was Uncle Liu we were familiar with. Uncle Liu is a good brother of his father, I heard that his father made money for him when he married his daughter-in-law, and he has also helped our family over the years.
In addition to growing food, Uncle Liu is casting nets to fish for a living. Fishermen usually go out at dawn, and then take the fishing nets to the river to take the boat to cast the net to catch fish a few times, generally collect the net at noon, and then go to the market in the afternoon after lunch, or sell it to others. Therefore, those who sell fish in the morning in the vegetable market must be artificially raised, and only those who open in the afternoon may be caught in the wild.
Because of our proximity to the nature reserve, the sewage treatment of the Hanyang River that flows through it has attracted much attention, and the water of the Hanyang River is particularly clear in this era of serious river pollution. Because the reserve also diverts the river water to the Dalinkeng to make a lake, as a rare migratory bird protection living area. When the river is clean, the fish and shrimp can survive, there are a lot of fish and shrimp in this Hanyang River, and Uncle Liu goes downstream to fish, and there are still a lot of fish and shrimp caught every time.
Over the years, Uncle Liu will send fish to our family as long as he goes out of the net, and Uncle Liu has taken care of our family. Generally, other people send fish to sell the leftovers and then send them, but Uncle Liu is different to us, they are all sent as soon as the net is closed.
"Uncle Liu, come and sit here and have lunch together! I took the fish, was polite to Uncle Liu, and pulled over a chair. This fish is quite big, it has to weigh two and a half catties, this fish has never taken contraceptive pills, the meat is real, such a big fish, the vegetable market can weigh three and a half catties. Blessed tonight.
"No, I've eaten. I'll just sit down. Uncle Liu sat down, but refused to eat lunch, Uncle Liu sat down and looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Hey, where is this girl?"
I found a bucket of water to put the fish in. The fish was still alive and violent, and as soon as I put it down, I saw the fish swinging its tail and slapping the water, and splashing the water on my face.
"Uncle Liu, she is my classmate and came to my house to play today. Xiao Yan explained to Uncle Liu.
"Uncle Liu is good. Xia Yu saw Uncle Liu ask her, and she was also very polite to say hello.
Uncle Liu nodded and said, "Well, good baby!"
"Uncle Liu, let's drink saliva. At this time, I took out a bowl and filled Uncle Liu with a bowl of boiled water and handed it to him.
"Well, good. You're all in high school. Yu'er, I heard that you got a part-time job outside. It's still in an Internet café, how are you doing? "Uncle Liu looked at me.
And I smiled and said, "It's okay!"
"What's okay, what's the job. Tell me about your work, like what your work is like, whether you are tired from work, and whether your colleagues are good to you. Uncle Liu knocked on the side.
Uncle Liu is Liu Qing'er's father, and Uncle Liu drove Liu Qing'er out of the house, saying that he didn't recognize her as a daughter and asked her not to go back to this home. Because of Sister Qing'er's incident, everyone in the village heard about it and spread it. In the past few years, Sister Qing'er has never dared to go home, only occasionally giving living expenses to her younger brother, who is still in junior high school, and she has not said anything else. It seems that Uncle Liu's question is concerned about my affairs, but in fact, he wants to hear some news from Sister Qing'er.
"Well, it's an easy job. It is to sit and use the computer to add money to the guests, just like the supermarket cashier, usually sitting in a daze, you can also play with your mobile phone, and you can collect money and recharge when the guests come. As for colleagues...... "I paused when I said this, and I couldn't help but feel funny when I looked at Uncle Liu's expectant eyes.
"Well, I have 3 colleagues, one is the morning cashier, named Chen Jinhua, quite beautiful, outsider, twenty years old. There is also a middle-class cashier named Liu Qinqin, who is not very beautiful, but has a good figure, and is about twenty years old. Well, she's got a big tongue, and she's very vocal when she speaks! We hear her talk badly, oh, yes. Her home is from the next village. The last one she was ......"
When I said this, I stopped again, looking at Uncle Liu, who was entangled and a little helpless, and then put the bowl of water on the table with excitement. He may think I'm talking nonsense, and I'm talking nonsense, but I think it's funny to look at him. So I continued, "...... She is a cleaner, and her name is Aunt Song!"
"Poof~" Xiao Yan, who was originally eating noodles, squirted noodles out of his nose, and I looked at the two noodles hanging in Xiao Yan's two nostrils, the thief was funny. I understood that she knew I was playing with Uncle Liu. Xiao Yan listened to my words from just now, held back his laughter on the side, and finally fell short.
"Good boy. You guy, just say this kind of useless, do you know that Lao Tzu is up and down dozens of dollars per minute, but I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. When Uncle Liu heard this, he stood up at once and slapped me on the shoulder.
I knew what Uncle Liu wanted to hear, but I talked about him left and right. is hanging Uncle Liu's appetite like this, and Uncle Liu finally can't help it now.
"Uncle Liu, don't get excited. Of course, the important thing is said at the end, I'll tell you. The manager who cares about us is the store manager, and she is Sister Qing'er. She sometimes works like a cashier, but she is paid a lot more than a cashier. And ...... "I finally said it."
I almost told me what I knew about Liu Qing'er, and Uncle Liu only nodded and didn't speak. After that, I looked at Uncle Liu's appearance and said, "Uncle Liu, if you miss her." I told her she would go home as soon as she was free. I mentioned to her to go home and have a look, and she said that she was afraid that you would drive her, but in fact she wanted to go home. ”
"What's the hurry? She can't go back, I tell you, I don't miss her. It's her mother who thinks about it, you just tell her to come back to see her mother when she is free, I don't have to worry about her. I'm gone, and I'm going to sell fish in the afternoon. Uncle Liu stood up and was about to leave.
"By the way, she talked about a boyfriend, and she was a courier. After talking for more than half a year, she was very good to her, and she was going to talk about getting married. Looking at Uncle Liu's back, I suddenly remembered that I didn't make it clear, and hurriedly chased out of the door and shouted.
I walked out of the door and found that Uncle Liu didn't look back, I looked at his pace was very brisk, jumping and jumping, like an old child who picked up a priceless antique, very energetic and happy, he walked very fast. I don't know if he listened. Hey, forget it, when Sister Qing'er comes home, they can play as much as they like!

"Here, here are three bowls of herbal tea. Just let it cool. Summer rain also has a share. Come, here's the dates. If it's bitter, eat a date after drinking. "Mom took out three bowls of black herbal tea from the kitchen, put down the herbal tea, and took out three more dates and handed them to the three of us.
