Chapter XVIII, Fish Fry

Just do it, Shen Jinqian took Liu Boan to the town dart bureau the next day, and first asked Zhong Darttou to inquire about the situation, Zhong Darthead had mentioned before that he knew a person who specialized in the fish fry business.

According to what Zhong Darttou said, Shen Jinqian and Liu Boan went to Fenglin County, the county next door.

There is a town in Fenglin County called Fish Town, because every household in the town makes a living by selling fish, hence the name.

Every household in Fish Town sells fish for a living, but there is only one family that provides fish fry, and it is the person Zhong Darttou said, it is not difficult to find him, and after a little inquiry, you will know where he lives.

"You're here to buy fish fry?" There was a little girl sitting at the door, it was the youngest daughter of the fish fry seller, named Nizi, "My father is inside, if you want to buy fish fry, go in." "The little girl is not very old, she looks about the same age as Shen He, and she is not bad at speaking and behaving with others, and it seems that her family has taught her.

Shen Jinqian bowed slightly, Liu Boan thanked her, and the two pushed the door in. As soon as you enter, you can see a yard full of buckets, filled with fish fry.

"Excuse me, who is Brother Zhao?" Because there is only this one in the town that sells fish fry, and his surname is Zhao, over time, people also call him Zhao fish fry, Liu Boan is young, so he calls Brother Zhao.

"I am, you guys buy fish fry?" The person who spoke was dressed in a coarse cloth and short cedar, and his dark face was a little sweaty, but he didn't care, and wiped it twice with his white-washed sleeves.

"Exactly, we were introduced by Brother Zhong." Shen Jinqian stepped forward. Before coming, Zhong Darttou said that it was enough to say his name directly.

"It turns out that Brother Zhong introduced you here, come, sit down and say." Sure enough, as soon as he said that it was introduced by Zhong Darttou, Zhao Yumiao immediately became enthusiastic, hurriedly beckoned the two to sit down, and asked his wife in the house to pour water for the two.

The three of them sat in the courtyard and did not go around in circles, Shen Jinqian directly explained the intention and the number of fish fry, and Zhao Yuyu also said the price happily. Shen Jinqian calculated in his heart, but the price was cheaper than the price he asked in other places before the New Year.

In this way, it is said that half of the money will be paid first, and the rest will be settled when the fry are delivered to Dahe Village. After the three of them talked about the fish fry, they talked about other things.

Seeing that it was a little late, Zhao Yumiao asked the two to stay and leave tomorrow. However, Shen Jinqian and Liu Boan stayed overnight at Zhao's house, and returned to Dahe Village the next day, but they were not afraid of their family's worries, and told their family when they went out that it was very likely that they would stay outside at night.

Zhao Yumiao is an honest and trustworthy person, and Shen Jinqian and the others sent the fish fry the day after they returned to Dahe Village, and brought Nizi with them.

When the people in the village saw an outsider pulling a taxi and carrying a child, they thought at first that someone had escaped here.

Seeing him go directly to the village, someone stopped him: "Big brother, where are you coming from?" ”

Zhao Yumiao raised his hand to wipe the thin sweat from the hurry: "I came from Yuzhen to deliver fish fry to Brother Shen's family." ”

Isn't there only Brother Shen's family in the village? Everyone wanted to see the excitement, and followed Zhao Yumiao to Shen's house along the way. Before Zhao Yumiao stepped forward and knocked on the door, the villagers who couldn't wait stepped forward to "snap" the door themselves, without making people wait for a long time, and soon the door opened.

"You are Brother Zhao?." It was Liu Bicao who came to open the door, and he had long known that Zhao Yumiao was going to send fish fry over in the past two days, and he saw someone pulling a car, with a wooden barrel on the car, followed by a group of people who stretched their necks and wanted to see the excitement. If so, it is not difficult to guess the identity of the person in front of him, it is Zhao Yuyuyu who came to deliver the fish fry.

"Yes, is Brother Shen at home?" Zhao Yumiao touched the sweat on his face.

Liu Bicao nodded: "Yes, Brother Zhao has been fortunate all the way, come first to rest and drink some water." As he spoke, he welcomed people into the door, and said to Liu Sanlei and his wife who were standing at the door: "Trouble the third uncle to call my father and mother back, just say that Brother Zhao who sent fish fry is here, what is the third aunt doing standing at the door?" ”

He walked over with a smile: "I'm also here to see the excitement of your house." Saying that, the two of them also entered the door, and the door was not closed, so they simply let the people watching the excitement see enough.

Shen Jinqian, who was repairing the fence in the backyard, was also called over by Shen Jinyan.

"Fortunately, Brother Zhao ran by himself." Shen Jinqian knew that the Zhao family had two short-term workers who specialized in delivering fish fry.

Zhao Yumiao waved her hand indifferently: "It's this girl, I heard that I came to you, but I followed and troubled my brother and sister." After speaking, he pointed to Nizi who was standing beside him.

"Sister, can Brother Bo'an be at home?" When Nizi saw her father pointing at her, she asked Liu Bicao.

I never thought that Nizi came to find Liu Boan, but I didn't care, and took her hand: "He went to the field, I asked Xiaohe to take you to him?" ”

Nizi shook her head: "No need, sister, I heard Brother Bo'an say that there is a little brother in the family who can read and write?" Nizi looked at Liu Bicao with wide eyes.

He laughed heartily: "This kid is really, you tell your aunt, are you here to find Brother Bo'an or to find a little brother who can read and write?" ”

Originally, I wanted to tease Nizi, but Nizi was not afraid, and said loudly: "I'm here to find a little brother who can read and write, and he is so good at reading and writing." ”

"That's my little brother, I'll take you to her." Shen He on the side couldn't wait to pull her, and the two went to Shen Jinyan's house hand in hand to find Shen Jinyan who was practicing big characters. The two walked to the door and heard Shen He's instruction, "My third brother is practicing calligraphy, don't disturb him when you go in, otherwise you will be punished by the eldest brother." ”

In the time between talking, Shen's father and Shen's mother, who were working in the field, got a report from Liu Sanlei, and several people rushed back together.

Uncle Chen, who is good friends with the Shen family, also took his son to help put the fish fry into the pond, the Shen family is the first fish farmer in the village in so many years, many people watch the excitement around the pond, of course, there are also people who quietly watch the Shen family's jokes in their hearts, thinking that this fish will not live.

In the kitchen, Shen's mother and He Shi cooked, and Aunt Chen and Xiuling helped, so Liu Bicao did not stay in the kitchen, and followed to the pond to watch the fish fry.

Liu Bicao caught a fry and put it in his hand, watching it jump, his heart was indescribably happy. Thinking that this batch of fish is raised and sold for money, he can pay Shen Jinyan for a year's repair, and the family will also have some savings, so Shen Jinqian can not be so fortunate to go hunting and dart walking in the mountains.

Shen He, who was in Shen Jinyan's room, knew that fish fry were going to be released outside, so he left Nizi, who was used to seeing her, and Shen Jinyan, who was concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and went to the pond.

Liu Boan and Shen Jinxin were taking off their shoes and socks and entering the pond, and the newly released fish fry were drilling around at their feet, which made the two laugh. Seeing that Shen He on the shore showed an expression of wanting to go down, looking at them with a look of hope, Shen Jinxin laughed even louder and deliberately teased her.

When Shen Mei arrived, Shen He was secretly taking advantage of Liu Bicao's inattention to take off and put his feet into the pond.

"Xiaohe, you're really getting bolder." Shen Meihu has a face, usually Liu Bicao teaches the two sisters to know that the reputation of girls is very important, and Shen He is not small, although it is said that this is the countryside, but it is also necessary to pay attention to reputation.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and stared at the two people in the pond, and was stared at by his sister, Shen Jinxin didn't dare to laugh, and he didn't expect that Shen He would be so bold now, and dare to take off his shoes in front of so many people.

"You two don't hurry up yet." Shen Mei pulled Shen He and looked at the people in the pond.

Liu Boan obediently hurriedly went ashore, and seeing that Shen Jinxin was still standing in the pond, Shen Mei threatened him: "Second brother, if you don't come up again, I'll tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

"Little Ancestor, don't, I'll come up right away." As soon as he heard that he was going to tell his eldest brother and sister-in-law, Shen Jinxin came up in a few steps.

"Brother Shen, when this fish is big, you have to invite us to eat fish." As soon as Boss Chen's words came out, the village, which usually has a good relationship with the Shen family, also coaxed:

"That's right, your family is the first fish farmer in the village."

"Definitely, definitely." Father Shen watched buckets of fish fry put into the pond, and he was also happy in his heart, and agreed with a smile.

Because there are many people, there are two tables when eating, one table for men, one table for women and children, and Shen's mother also went to the bamboo forest to pick a chicken to kill.

After the meal, Zhao Yumiao told Shen Jinqian and Shen's father a lot about fish farming, and then left in a hurry with Nizi.

The fry were put into the pond, and the stone in Liu Bicao's heart was half put down, but half was still in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Shen Jinqian was still happy to see that she was in the afternoon, but at this time she was in the room with a sad face, walked over and hugged her waist.

Liu Bicao leaned on his shoulder and rubbed: "It's nothing." Seeing his look of disbelief, "I'm just a little worried, the family's money is used to buy lotus root seeds and fish fry, what if ...... Not. ”

Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Shen Jinqian's lips and couldn't speak, and it took a long time before he was let go, watching his wife blushing and panting slightly, and reaching out to comb her hair that was a little messy.

"Don't worry."

The first time the family planted lotus root and raised fish, Shen's father was excited and worried, and he couldn't sleep after a night of worry, and got up and went to the pond before the first rooster crowed.

At this time, the pond is quiet at night, and even the water surface is quiet, only the occasional wind passes, and the water surface is covered with a small ripple. Father Shen sat by the pond like this, watching the pond until dawn.

"Where's Daddy?" I didn't see Shen's father when I made breakfast, so Shen He asked Shen's mother.

In the past, when it was time to eat, Shen's father would be at home, and if he went to the field and didn't go home for dinner, he would say that he would bring the rice to the field, but today he didn't see anyone, and he didn't say that he would take it to the field.

"Your father went to the pond early in the morning, and he hasn't been back yet." Shen's mother didn't sleep well because of Shen's father's quarrel, and her spirit was a little bad.

"Mother, don't say that my father is worried, it's just that I haven't slept well all night."

"What are you afraid of, if there is anything we have as a family, we will pass it as a family, as long as the family is together, what wind and waves can't pass? Don't worry. Shen's mother patted Liu Bicao's hand and comforted her.

When Shen Jinyan came to ask Shen's mother to eat, Shen's father was still sitting on the edge of the pond, patting the ashes on his buttocks, and went back to breakfast with Shen Jinyan.
