Chapter 12: The First Pot of Gold (2)
Su Xiaobei's plan was actually very small, and she wanted to give up this plan for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info In her previous life, she had a business mind, and the money she had in her hands was millions, but now in 78, she still has to worry about a gross ticket of two, so she decided to do it after thinking about it for a long time.
"Brother, has the water in the Xida River been opened?" This is something that Su Radish inadvertently mentioned when she chatted with her mother and daughter two days ago.
"Yes, it will be winter in a few days, and the third master said that he was afraid that there would be children skating and playing in the ice hole in winter."
"What about the fish in the river?" When Su Xiaobei climbed the building that day, he saw that under the iron gate there were crucian carp two fingers long.
"Huh? And in the river? Su Radish looked at the girl strangely.
"Brother, do you dare to go down to the river to catch fish?" Su Xiaobei asked as he stared at the radish's eyes.
"What don't you dare? What are you doing with it? Can't eat it, it smells earthy. "People who live by the sea are not used to eating the fresh food in the river, and they always feel that the smell of the earth is big, so there are a lot of crucian carp and fathead fish in the Xida River, which are all put down from the upstream reservoir, and no one in the village goes to catch fish to eat.
Yu Yuemei, who was listening to the two brothers and sisters on the side, waved her hand anxiously and did not let Su Radish go to the river to fish.
"Mom, it's okay, I'll do whatever Xiaobei asks me to do." Su Radish disagreed, in previous years, he did not go to the river to catch fish, most of them were killed by children, if the family raised ducks, big geese, all took home for the poultry to eat can have an extra egg.
"Brother, can you do it yourself? Don't get too much, just five or six, you have to live. Su Xiaobei asked seriously.
"Okay, what do you want to do here?"
"Brother Chunshan will come to deliver the food in a while, you go back with you, and you bring the fish with a bucket tomorrow morning, I will be useful." Su Xiaobei smiled mysteriously and didn't speak.
This is Xiaobei's humble business.
The woman in the ward is on the third day, and there is not a drop of milk. Xiaobei observed carefully, the living conditions of the family are very good, and many people choose to find a midwife at home to give birth to a child, and few go to the hospital. Another is that this family is very qualified, whether it is relatives or friends, the time to visit will not exceed half an hour, and they speak softly and politely.
Su Xiaobei wanted to sell his crucian carp soup to them, which was the best lactation tonic for pregnant women.
Waiting for Su Radish to go home to carry out the fish catching operation, Su Xiaobei took the opportunity to watch the child and successfully talked about crucian carp soup with the middle-aged woman who was waiting for the mother.
"There is a reservoir above our Daliang Village, and the downstream leads to the Yellow Sea, and there are many wild crucian carp in the river, so it is best to promote milk for my sister." The family's surname is Ding, Xiaobei guessed correctly, someone in their family is an officer in the army.
"Xiaobei, what you said is true?" Ding Min asked happily.
"Aunt Ding, don't worry, my brother will bring a few crucian carp when he comes over tomorrow, just boil it in water, don't put oil and salt in it, don't put any seasonings, boil it slowly, and give it to my sister if there is milky white soup, so that I can milk it at night."
Su Xiaobei This is all the knowledge brought by the previous life, although he didn't even talk about a boyfriend in his previous life, but the knowledge exploded, and anyone with reading habits knows this truth.
But in 78, a 14-year-old rural child is a little incredible. "How do you know so much?"
"I am also learning and selling, and the captain of our village's sister-in-law knows that I listened to her." Su Xiaobei had already thought about the rhetoric, and naturally coped with Ding Min's inquiry.
Early the next morning, the doctor removed the stitches for Xiaobei after going to work, the wound healed very well, the medicine money in the past few days was not spent in vain, Yu Yuemei was happy in her eyes, her children have always been her biggest concern, she didn't say a word when she was stunned by Liu Er's discounted arm, she just wanted some money for the child to take care of the disease.
Su Xiaobei noticed Yu Yuemei's mood swings, and put his arm around her mother's shoulder to comfort her, "Mom, you see, I can go out to work like a radish in the future." ā
As she was talking, Su Radish pushed the door in, followed by Lin Chunshan, Xiaobei restrained her expression, and asked Lin Chunshan to help her settle the hospitalization expenses.
Ding Min kept looking at Xiaobei's family with a smile, as for why Xiaobei didn't speak in front of the people in the village and only gestured with her hands, she was not curious, everyone has their own secrets, and she felt that this little girl was not bad and not simple.
When Lin Chunshan went out, Xiaobei opened the bucket brought by the radish, and there were a total of six crucian carp, all of which were alive and well.
"Aunt Ding, take it home and cook fish soup for your sister, you believe me, you will have milk in the evening, don't starve the baby." Su Xiaobei's wound had just healed, Ding Min didn't dare to let her carry the big water basket, yesterday Xiaobei told her about crucian carp soup, she went to ask the obstetrics and gynecology department, the doctor said that this folk remedy is very useful, let her try.
"Xiaobei, you take it." Ding Min handed the water basket to her son and took it home, and stuffed the two yuan into Su Xiaobei's palm.
"Auntie, this fish is wild in the river, and it is not raised by our family, how can we collect money for it for my sister to eat?" Su Xiaobei pushed the money back.
At first, Su Xiaobei really wanted to make her family's money, but after talking with Ding Min, Su Xiaobei changed his mind and wanted to make friends with Ding Min's family and pave the way for his future life.
Ding Min is a military family, how can he do such a thing of taking other people's things for nothing. Although Xiaobei said sincerely, this fish was brought by her brother from more than fifty miles away, and she couldn't take it for nothing because of their poor conditions.
"Xiaobei, Auntie, thank you, take this money to buy some nutritional products for your mother and you." Su Xiaobei excused herself, but still accepted the two yuan, Yu Yuemei was a little unhappy, and took her daughter to the corridor and gestured with her.
Su Radish also followed, watching her mother gesture to her sister-in-law, "Mom said that you are not doing this right." ā
Su Xiaobei was speechless, which one is right? Look at the family, in addition to half a jar of bud rice noodles, and then a few Chinese cabbages and a few green radishes in the field, after the autumn harvest, it is said to be dividends, how much can her family's labor force share this one and a half? Winter in the north comes quickly, and the windows at home are transparent and windy, and they won't freeze these three to death in winter?
"Mom, this is Aunt Ding thanking us, the fish was caught by my brother and given to them to eat, didn't I shirk it!" Su Xiaobei rubbed Yu Yuemei's chest and said coquettishly.
Su Xiaobei had to plan her family's income, didn't she still have a superb old woman who didn't appear, she took all these unexpected factors into account, Liu Er's compensation of thirty yuan, Lin Chunshan should not have much left after the settlement, there are no cloth stamps, food stamps and meat stamps, her family is more difficult than the life in the early days of liberation, she doesn't consider who to consider? Looking at the chilblain scars on Su Luo's hands, you can see that they have had a hard time over the years.
Before being discharged from the hospital, Ding Min handed a note to Su Xiaobei, which stated her home address, and Su Xiaobei also asked Lin Chunshan to help write the address of Daliang Village, this man was cramped for a long time before blushing and saying that he was illiterate, and later Ding Min left her home address by himself, and sent them to the hospital door before waving goodbye.
