When the sun was about to set, Shubai returned home, Xiao Xiucai set up a stall for the first time today, the business was surprisingly good, as a reward for the copper plate and also for the eggs, he did not refuse, and when he helped people write the last letter, the ox cart back to the village was gone, and he walked ten miles back.
Fortunately, the bookcase was not heavy, so he added twenty eggs, and he didn't feel tired when he walked slowly.
After dinner, the two brothers and sisters took over the accounts, the string of money given by Li Niang in the morning did not move, Shubai in addition to twenty eggs, but also earned sixty yuan, I didn't expect to write a letter on behalf of so easy to earn, Shubai is now full of fighting spirit, I can't wait for tomorrow to be a bazaar again, and he can earn another sum.
When it was dark, Shubai went to the river to get a fish basket, Li Niang and Qingyuan also followed, and when they arrived at the place, there were some people, five or six, and the nests with the most fish were occupied.
Shubai doesn't care, can he grab the earthworm that can drink the water of the heavenly court? Li Niang had all the remaining earthworms from fishing in the afternoon and let him tie them up in the basket.
At night, Li Niang was going to Xianzhuang to fetch water, and when she came out after she was busy and carried the water from the kitchen to the water tank in the kitchen, she found that her brother had already picked up the fish and was killing the fish with a lamp, so she moved the water tank to help.
Not all river fish are suitable for drying dried fish, such as carp and crucian carp with more fish bones, these fish are picked out and raised, and finally Li Niang used a dustpan to take it to Xianzhuang to dry.
Shubai buried the cleaned fish offal into the vegetable field to make fertilizer, and when he came back, he stared at a bucket of fish swimming happily and frowned, "It seems that you have to make two small baskets, and it is delicious to dry fish or small fish." ”
Li Niang also misses the fried fish she ate when she was a child, it was fragrant and crispy, even the fish head and fish bones were chewed and swallowed, and the porridge was the best.
On this day, Shubai worked at home all day, sorghum seeds and vegetable seeds were sown, poured with heavenly water, and then cut bamboo to weave fish baskets, weaved a pair of large and small ones, and put them in the river on the same day, harvesting dozens of catties of large and small fish, but Li Niangle was bad.
The big fish dried a few with fewer spines, and the rest were kept and sold to Fuyuan Building, and the small fish were cleaned twice with heavenly water, sprinkled with salt and pickled for an hour, and then taken to Xianzhuang to dry.
Shubai picked two buckets of fish and went to the town, and when he came back, he handed Li Niang two taels of silver, and for the next two days Shubai read and wrote at home, and when his eyes were tired, he went up the mountain to chop wood, until the night before the market, he went to four baskets.
This set, Li Niang is also going, she has accumulated ten handkerchiefs, and she has to go to the Ruyi Embroidery Workshop to exchange money and buy thread.
So on this morning, the whole family of the Mo family set out, Li Niang carried her brother's bookcase, led Qingyuan, and Shubai carried a pair of buckets, covered with two lotus leaves on his face, and smelled a faint fishy smell, and everyone in the same car knew that he was going to sell fish.
Someone asked: "Mo Xiaoxiucai, I haven't seen you start fishing, why are there fish for sale?" ”
Shubai smiled shyly, "I have to read during the day, so I can only fish in the middle of the night every day, which is a fish that I have saved for several days." ”
Everyone smacked their lips and said that it was not easy to read.
Li Daniu helped carry the bucket into the car, "Shubai, your body is a little better, but you have to be more leisurely, you are setting up a stall and selling fish, and it is too hard." ”
"Uncle Niu, it's not okay if you're not diligent." Shubai wiped his sweat and his face was full of sadness, "Ago, my grandmother came to the house to ask for pension money, and the four hundred wen accumulated some time ago were given out, and I still owe two taels of silver." ”
As soon as he heard this, Li Daniu and the villagers had different expressions, and the daughter-in-law of the village chief Li's family, Lin, said: "Two taels of silver and four hundred yuan a year? It's also scary. ”
It's only been more than a year since the Lin family got married, and she didn't know about the Mo family's separation back then, and the other old people in the village knew it, and some people learned everything from her at the moment.
What is the pension money of 200 wen a month, the blue brick and tile house that Mo Juren paid for, his descendants have not been able to live in it, it is worth hundreds of taels.
A carload of people were talking about the Mo family, Shubai and Li Niang's faces were not good, Li Daniu sighed and raised the bullwhip, "Don't make any noise about you broken mouths, do you still want to take the car?" If you don't come, you'll go! ”
"Wait, wait, there's someone!" Xiao Wang was holding a small burden, dragging a little girl, panting and running over, both mother and daughter were wearing brand new silk clothes.
Seeing that the three babies in the big house were also there, Xiao Wang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yo, you guys are also going to the market, what is in this bucket, and you are going to sell fish?" Don't forget ......"
"I owe two taels of pension money, I can't forget it!" Li Niang said with a cold face, "For the pension money of the second elder, my brother can't even read well, not only to catch and sell fish, but also to set up a stall to help people write letters, hum!" ”
Xiao Wang was stunned, how could this baby say it all, this old man is here, she is not afraid of losing the face of the big house.
If Li Niang knew what Xiao Wang's heart was thinking, she would definitely smack her face, bah, who is ashamed, bullying three weak orphans, do you still have face?
Li Da Niu didn't want to see the mother-in-law of the Mo family's second room, and before she and Mo Meiniang could sit down, Li Da Niu gave the scalper a whip, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two of them rolling into a pile with a sigh, and the corners of the man's mouth turned up.
There were more Xiao Wang's mother and daughter, and the atmosphere in the car was not right, and no one spoke along the way, and they arrived in Jinshui Town in a dull manner.
On the day of the market, the ox cart is not allowed to enter the main street, so when it comes to the entrance of the town, people have to get out of the car and pay the money to walk in, Xiao Wang and Mei Niang sat in the back of the car, the first to come down, Xiao Wang hit the idea to the big house, and said to Shubai who came down from the front of the car: "Shubai, the second aunt didn't bring change today, you first put the car money on the pad." ”
Shubai's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't see any thoughts, but what he said choked Xiao Wang's half to death, "So that the second aunt knows, Shubai doesn't have a copper plate in his hand, and the money for this car is owed first, and then he will pay back Uncle Niu after he earns the money, I'm really embarrassed." ”
"Then ......" Xiao Wang wanted to say that you owe a piece first, and when the time comes, you will pay a piece, but Li Daniu yelled at her viciously: "Shubai can owe, everyone else has to give money!" I'll find you if you don't have zero! Climb a few nephews what do you want to do! ”
Li Daniu can be arrogant, who calls the village chief of Xiaowan Village his cousin, and the doctor is his own uncle.
I didn't want to take two pennies, Mei Niang was so ashamed of her mother's behavior that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, she pulled her mother's sleeve with her eyelids down, "Mother, I brought change, I'll give you the money for this car." As he spoke, he tore off a small pink purse from his waist, poured two copper plates and handed them to Li Daniu.
