He Hongshan smiled and started fishing. Qinglian's small mouth: "Uncle, what you said is that there is fresh fish to eat in this winter, I dare to say that you can make the guests' mouths crooked, I'm afraid that they will be addicted to it, and I will ask you next time." ”

As soon as the boss heard this, he asked them, "Hey, big brother, little girl, I was about to ask you, where did you get live fish in this winter?" ”

He Hongshan was asked, and he didn't know how to answer, Qinglian's little head turned quickly, and her thin lips flew: "Uncle tell you the truth, this fish was pulled back from a place in the mountains hundreds of miles away." There is a Wen River in that place. Yes, it's the Wen River, and the water of that stream is warm in winter, so the fish in it still swim happily, and my family of relatives lives near that river, so he caught fish and sent them to us in a mule cart for wholesale, and we brought them to sell. Hehe, but it's not much, how many fish can there be in a river. ”

He Hongshan was as big as the restaurant owner's mouth. After a long time, the owner of the hotel asked: "Can the fish in the Wen River cure the disease if you eat it?" ”

Oops, you're bigger than me! Qinglian's eyes were bigger than Yang Ying's.

Qinglian said with tears and laughter; "Uncle, in New China, let's not play with gods and ghosts, this fish is a fish, how can it cure diseases. If there is one thing that can cure diseases, it is to cure cravings. ”

"Hahaha......" The boss laughed up.

He asked again: "Big brother, girl, do you still have fish?" Can you send it to me for a long time? ”

Qinglian and her father looked at each other and were speechless. Qinglian said ambiguously: "Oh, it's hard to say, because my relative can't come to my house until the afternoon, let's go back and have a look, if he sends it, we'll send it to you tomorrow, okay?" ”

The boss was overjoyed, and told them to send him again.

The fish was sold out, and the father and daughter rushed home with their smiling mouths closed. Qinglian plans not to call Brother Qingjun at night, Brother Qingjun has to hunt rabbits at night, so let her father go with her to catch fish.

In the dead of night, the two men carried the wooden barrel and took the tools to the Beidi River ditch.

They returned with a full load, and Qinglian and her father boiled another pot of fish soup for the family, so that the whole family drank the fish soup and fell asleep hot.

On the night of the third day, the two men dug a hole with hope, and waited for the fish to come out of the hole, but when their necks were sore, they did not see a single fry come up.

As a result, the father and daughter came back empty-handed.

They pondered and meditated: Did they catch all the fish in this ditch, or did they learn too well to fall for them?

Anyway, this way to get rich is dead.

However, they were not as insatiable as the fisherman's wife, Qinglian thought, this caught fish for three nights, made them earn 56 yuan, and drank three meals of fish soup, which was great.

Qinglian decided that she couldn't just buy sneakers for the second sister, but also a pair for the third sister, and by the way, buy a pair of big scalp shoes for her father. She went to the store and asked, 20 yuan a pair. Dad has been wearing this pair on her feet since she can remember, and the soles of the shoes are almost transparent, and he is usually reluctant to wear them, so he only wears them when he goes to relatives or gatherings.

She is very good at budgeting, and when she buys shoes, she uses the excuse of buying three pairs of shoes, and desperately lowers the price with the salesperson. In this era, it is a big customer to be able to buy three pairs of shoes at once, and the salesman does not dare to slack off, but the price is too low and he does not want to sell, and finally gritted his teeth and sold a pair of 5 cents cheaper at the sale price.

Qinglian happily bought three pairs of shoes for 35 yuan.

When she brought the three pairs of shoes home, her father and two younger sisters almost burst into tears, especially her father, who took the pair of cowhide big-toed shoes that his daughter bought for him, and his eyes were full of tenderness like holding a baby who had been passed down for ten generations.

But he suddenly shook his body, put the shoes on the bed, and blamed Qinglian: "I'm Qinglian, Nier, why don't you know how to live like this, what shoes to buy for your father, how can your father wear new shoes, I will retreat tomorrow and buy a pair of high-heeled leather boots for your mother to wear." ”

Qinglian said confidently: "My mother has leather boots to wear, but you don't have a decent pair of shoes." Dad, as the saying goes, a man is half poor without shoes, you are the head of the family, and it is too shabby not to go out. ”

He Hongshan agreed very much when he heard this, but he couldn't get off his feet after spending 20 yuan to buy a new pair of shoes. He said: "Then I will buy you a pair of high-heeled leather boots to wear, your eldest daughter's house, it is the time to find your mother-in-law's house, you have to dress up Lilisuo, your father is an old man, it is not worth it." ”

Qinglian couldn't help but pick up the shoes, squatted on the ground and grabbed her father's feet, threw the worn cotton shoes on his feet, and put them on her father's feet.

"Oh, it's so good-looking, Dad, you're so handsome." Qinglian applauded.

Honglian and Mulian, who were holding their new shoes, also smiled and praised their good looks, and Xiao Lianlian also followed and coaxed, praising He Hongshan's face red.

Yes, the girl bought it, so I want it.

When the father and daughter were happy, Wang Xiuli sat alone at the head of the bed, as if she was deaf to this side.

She suddenly shook over and said, "I have something to do to go to my grandmother's house tomorrow." ”

The father and daughter all looked at her, and Qinglian said generously, "Go ahead." ”

He Hongshan was used to his daughter-in-law going to her mother's house twice in three days, and the daughters were also used to it, so he carefully agreed, and then said to her: "Selling fish has made dozens of yuan in the past few days, but you can see that Qinglian bought a pair of shoes for all of us, and the money is not much, so buy less when you go tomorrow." ”

Saying that, she glanced at Qinglian and asked her to get money for her mother.

Qinglian said happily: "Okay." ”

She took out 10 yuan and walked next to Wang Xiuli and whispered, "I think my mother is going to my grandmother's house soon." ”

At this point, her throat tightened, desperately trying to suppress the tears that welled up.

Wang Xiuli didn't look at her daughter, her eyes were staring at the earthen wall opposite, she didn't take the 10 yuan, and said slowly: "You don't need to buy anything, you can save the money well, and you will be a good ...... in the future."

She choked up and couldn't go on.

It seems that my mother has decided to divorce my father. She went tomorrow to discuss the matter with her "bamboo horse", right?

Qinglian leaned closer to her and whispered, "Good luck." ”

Qinglian led her sisters to sleep in the back room, and suddenly Wang Xiuli outside said, "Hey, I have something to tell you." ”

Mother calls dad "hey".

Qinglian was stunned, what did she want to say to her father?

After Qinglian coaxed her little sister to sleep, she took a flashlight to the yard to open the greenhouse to check, and was pleasantly surprised to find that sharp yellow buds had grown on the top of the garlic.

So she planted it successfully!

She jumped up all over the yard excitedly, and suddenly remembered her father's and mother's affairs, her heart sank, and her body froze in the yard.

"Qinglian, you stupid girl, what are you doing standing in the yard on a cold day, why don't you go back to the house and sleep quickly." He Hongshan saw it and scolded her.

Qinglian said "oh" and said, "Dad, I checked the greenhouse just now, and the garlic has sprouted." ”

"Sprouted, really sprouted?" He Hongshan asked in surprise.
