Xiaoqing lingered in the vegetable market for a long time, and her eyes were always on the place where crucian carp was sold. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

What she thought to herself was that her grandmother had been eating leftovers in the past few days, and when Aunt Hongyu was there, she had just maintained a plump and ruddy face and was about to lose weight and be haggard again, how should this be? Although she buys a pound of ordinary vegetables with her own money, Grandma currently needs protein-rich food. When she saw that the price of crucian carp was 9 yuan per catty, and her own mere 5 yuan, she was afraid that she couldn't even buy a crucian carp.

"Little girl, do you want to buy fish?"

One of the fish sellers saw that she had been hovering in front of her fish stall, her eyes had been staring at the crucian carp swimming in the fish tank, and she was reluctant to disperse for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask.

Xiaoqing finally mustered up the courage and pointed to the lively crucian carp with his hand: "Uncle, how much does the crucian carp you sell weigh?" ”

"Haha, the crucian carp I sell is big, each one has about eight catties (one catty to eight taels), this is a big crucian carp."

Unexpectedly, when Xiaoqing heard this, her brows suddenly turned high, and she couldn't help but shake her head.

The fish seller was surprised: "Child, do you still think my fish is small?" ”

"No, I think they're too big."

The fish seller was stunned: "Do you want to buy crucian carp shells?" I don't. ”

Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Uncle, do you sell fish here every day?" ”

The fish seller nodded: "Yes, I am a regular stall, and I promise that there will be no shortage of catties or two." ”

Xiaoqing asked tentatively again, "Then can you collect money next time?" ”

"Do you want to take credit next time?"

Xiaoqing blushed and nodded: "I didn't bring enough money today, and my home is far away." ”

The fish seller was immediately displeased: "Go, go, how can my fish let you, the child, cheat away?" Get out of here! ”

Xiaoqing's aggrieved tears suddenly flowed, and his voice choked up: "Uncle... I really didn't lie to you... I only brought five yuan, and I couldn't even afford a fish..."

"Ha, you're still crying? Don't have money and still want to eat fish? Don't want me to pity you! ”

"It's not that I want to eat fish... My grandma is sick, I need nutrition, but my family's food is limited, but I promise to return it to you tomorrow..."

The fish seller was a little unthinking, and said impatiently: "You hurry up, don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me, do you want to beg in disguise?" I'm not a philanthropist. ”

Xiaoqing was insulted by the other party, and suddenly cried even more fiercely.

The companion next to the fish seller was a middle-aged woman, who couldn't look at it, and couldn't help but reproach the man: "Xiao Wang, what's the matter with you?" This little girl is quite pitiful, can she be cruel to her? ”

The fish seller looked disdainful: "I said Sister Chen, if you feel that the little girl is pitiful, then give her your fish for nothing?" It's better not to come and lecture me. ”

The woman selling the fish suddenly blushed, gritted her teeth slightly, picked up a plastic bag, and fished out two crucian carp from the big fish basin, and got up and walked to Xiaoqing, who was wiping her tears, and stuffed the plastic bag into Xiaoqing's hand: "Little girl, don't cry, hurry up and take Auntie's fish home." ”

Xiaoqing was suddenly full of gratitude to the woman who sold fish: "Auntie, how much does your fish sell?" ”

"Little mushroom girl, why are you asking this?"

"I want to know how much this fish is worth, and I'll come over tomorrow to pay it back."

The fish seller shook her head: "What money do you have?" This is a gift from your aunt. ”

Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing shook her head firmly: "No, it's not easy for you to sell fish, I must pay." ”

When the fish seller saw that Xiaoqing was still very strong, she shook her head helplessly, so she had to take it back, weigh it with her own scale, and then preached to Xiaoqing: "A total of thirteen yuan and five." ”

Xiao Qingqing nodded: "I remember, I will definitely bring the money over tomorrow to return it to you." ”

The fish seller looked at Xiaoqing's back and shook her head with a wry smile.

The fish seller saw it in his eyes, and his face was a little unbearable, and he couldn't help complaining: "This little girl can't get off the stage because I can't get off the stage, so in order to save a little face in public, she deliberately pretended." ”

The fish-selling woman glared at him fiercely: "You are a big man, and you can't get along with a little girl, it's really enough." ”

Besides, Xiaoqing carried the fish back as she wished, although she was greatly insulted just now, but after all, she achieved her goal, and the grievances she suffered were nothing. When she thought that Grandma could eat fresh crucian carp tonight, a sense of joy overflowed with words.

On the way home, she used the five yuan to buy a little spice for fish.

"Grandma!"

Xiaoqing walked into the house with the fish and greeted Yang Luzhu first.

Yang Luzhu couldn't rely on one arm to straighten her upper body because she couldn't eat hard with one arm, but she still tried her best to raise her head and see her daughter's whole body.

"Qingqing, what kind of food did you buy?"

Her big eyes stared at the black plastic bag in her daughter's hand, and she asked curiously.

Xiaoqing hurriedly came to her and opened the mouth of the plastic bag: "Look, Grandma, I bought you two live crucian carp." ”

Yang Luzhu looked at the crucian carp that could still move in the plastic bag, and couldn't help frowning: "How much do these two fish cost?" ”

"It's not expensive, they're cheap."

Yang Luzhu has already asked the bottom of the question: "I only gave you five yuan, can you buy two fish that are so big?" Why do you want to buy fish, kid? ”

Xiaoqing saw that her grandmother was a little angry, so she quickly lied: "I went to the supermarket just now, just in time for the crucian carp special, so I bought two with the five yuan in my hand." ”

"Oh, how much does that cost?"

"Four." Xiaoqing replied, "It's exactly two dollars a piece." I picked for a long time, and deliberately picked the two largest ones. You see, I used the money I had left over to buy some spices. ”

Yang Luzhu looked at a piece of ginger and a bag of five-spice powder in her daughter's hand again, and still couldn't believe it: "How can a supermarket talk about selling fish?" ”

"I don't know. How people sell, then how do we buy. ”

Xiaoqing coped with it, so she quickly left her grandma and entered the kitchen.

After all, she was too young to be in a hurry when stewing fish, and when she was cooking fish in hot oil, she accidentally let the splash of hot oil burn her left hand.

She bared her teeth in pain, but she just took a sip with her small mouth, and then hurried to get busy...

When eating, she deliberately covered her left hand with blisters, and carefully helped Yang Luzhu pick the thorns and feed the fish.

"Grandma, is the fish delicious?"

While feeding Yang Luzhu the fish, she asked kindly.

Yang Luzhu nodded happily: "Well, it's delicious." Qingqing, don't always fill my mouth, you have to eat it too. ”

Xiaoqing shook her head: "I don't like to eat fish, just eat a little pickle." These two crucian carp are enough for you tonight and tomorrow at noon. ”

Yang Luzhu frowned: "You are still young, and when you are growing your body, besides, your brain should also be supplemented with more nutrients." We have one for each of us tonight, and we must destroy them. ”

Xiaoqing was puzzled: "But I don't have time to buy vegetables at noon tomorrow?" ”

Yang Luzhu looked categorical: "Then grandma will accompany Qingqing to eat pickles together." ”

"But..."

"Don't. If you won't eat it, don't feed it to me. ”

Yang Luzhu said that, and simply closed her mouth.

Xiaoqing had no choice but to clip a piece of fish meat, stuff it into her small mouth, and nodded again and again: "Well, the meat of crucian carp is so fragrant!" ”

Yang Luzhu smiled comfortably.

Xiaoqing was not in a relaxed mood about this, because she promised to return the fish money to the aunt who sold the fish, and the grandmother would definitely give herself no more than five yuan tomorrow. What can I do?

When she finished cleaning up the housework, she sat in front of Yang Luzhu's bed and showed a squirming look.

Yang Luzhu saw that her daughter was weird, so she asked curiously, "Qingqing, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Xiaoqing showed courage: "Grandma, I want to ask you for twenty yuan." ”

Yang Luzhu was taken aback: "What do you want so much money for?" ”

Xiaoqing hung her head down, not daring to face her grandma, but she muttered, "Didn't there be an earthquake some time ago?" Our school called on us to collect donations from children in the disaster area. I saw that the other students were giving love, so I thought..."

Yang Luzhu pondered for a while, then nodded happily: "Qingqing, you can have this love, Grandma feels very gratified." ”

"What about me?"

Yang Luzhu immediately raised her healthy arm and took out a piece of RMB with a denomination of exactly twenty yuan from the small bag on the side of her pillow.

She weighed the bill with her hand and resolutely handed it to her daughter: "Take it." Grandma has your back! ”

Xiaoqing saw Grandma's reluctance, and in view of the current predicament, Grandma couldn't wait to break a penny in half and spend it. She wanted to refuse, but considering that she would have to pay back the fish money tomorrow, she gritted her teeth and took it.

She was lying next to Yang Luzhu in the middle of the night, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, she was very anxious, although the twenty yuan could cover the food expenses for these two days, but in view of the current rise in prices, it was difficult for her to maintain her and her grandmother's daily consumption with that little living expenses. She just had the idea of telling her grandma the news that the price was too expensive, but it stopped abruptly - she couldn't let her worry anymore!

After thinking about it, she finally made up her mind that the difficulties she was currently facing must be solved by herself.
