Chapter 45: Fishing Nets

It took a while for Feng Xi to gradually calm down his shocked mood.

"If you want to expand, Uncle will give you a reminder, why don't you set aside another piece of land next to your house and build a new yard from there. As for the old house where your family lives now, not to mention waiting for the snow to fall in winter, next summer will come, and the heavy rain will be for several days, and the mud wall may not be able to stand it. ”

Yang Qingyan nodded in agreement, but he didn't count it in his heart.

After all, building a house has been a big deal throughout the ages, and I don't know if my own money is enough.

Seeing Yang Qingyan's embarrassed expression, Feng Xi spoke again.

"Qingyan'er, you see that if your family's money is not enough, Uncle can borrow you, if there is no more, within twenty taels, Uncle can take it out at any time."

Yang Qingyan's heart was moved.

Twenty taels of silver, many Zhuang families can't save so much in their lives, but I didn't expect Feng Xi, who is not related to him, to open his mouth so much, and he took the initiative to put it forward.

Yang Qingyan was surprised that Feng Xi treated his family well, and for a while, he forgot to speak.

Feng Xi saw her like this, and laughed again!

"Haha! Why are you scared, girl? Uncle and I are selfish, after all, your family can now make a net profit of 900 wen a day just by selling fish, is my uncle still worried that you can't pay it back? ”

Although Feng Xi joked so directly, Yang Qingyan was even more grateful to Feng Xi in his heart!

People are open, if she is refusing, it is really a revenge on the kindness of others!

"Uncle, I'll thank you in advance, but I don't know how much money it will cost to repair and build a house, if it's really not enough, I will definitely open my mouth to you Uncle when the time comes."

"Good! Good! Sure enough, Qingyan'er is a cheerful person! That uncle will calculate how much it will cost you to build a house, and you will have a number in your heart. ”

Yang Qingyan nodded gratefully.

After understanding the market for repairing houses, Yang Qingyan finally decided to build a blue brick house, which didn't need to be big, at least everyone in his family had to have one, and he also had to calculate that after the eldest brother married a wife and had children in the future.

"Qingyan'er, according to your plan, at least about forty taels! After all, the bricks have to be pulled back from the town next door, so the price is expensive, and the wages of the workers are a lot of money, and the land next to your house has to be bought, which is another expense. ”

Yang Qingyan waved her hand indifferently, this house was not built in a day, after all, she still had income every day, even if she didn't borrow Feng Xi's money, there should be no problem with their family.

struck while the iron was hot, Yang Qingyan didn't go home to discuss with Zhang Yueniang, Feng Xi sold the two acres of mountainous land next door to their house to her, spent seven taels of silver, and gave Feng Xi 500 Wen, asking him to bother to help run to the county and get the land deed, and she went home.

When he arrived at home, Yang Qingyan told his family the good news, and the family held the bowl, and their mouths were so happy that they couldn't close it!

"Big sister! Eldest sister! In the future, Yangyang wants a room of his own, it doesn't matter if it's smaller, Yangyang wants to read books in the house alone, and he doesn't have to light the oil lamp at night, and he still bothers the eldest brother! ”

Yang Yang grinned, his eyes were crooked.

Now after the separation, the little guy's personality is much more cheerful than before, and he dares to be his true self in front of his family, and he is no longer as submissive as before.

Yang Qingyan is naturally too, and he loves this cheap little brother more and more.

She doted on Yangyang's head and rubbed it: "Okay, prepare a separate room for our Yangyang, and the kind that has to be connected to the study!" ”

Zhang Yueniang looked at the happy appearance of the family, and her smile gradually froze.

"Yan'er, this blue brick and big tiled house costs a lot of silver, if this silver is used to build a house, then the matter of buying land will have to be shelved."

"It's okay, mother, have you forgotten? We still have silver in the account every month, although I hired Brother Qiangzi and Brother Da Gang to help us fish, but I still have an income of Jiubaiwen every day, and I still have more than 20 taels a month, and I can't wait long to buy paddy fields. ”

In an instant, the worried look on Zhang Yueniang's face disappeared.

"Okay, my mother also plans to go to the embroidery village in the town tomorrow to see if I can take a big embroidery job, if I can take a screen or something, my mother can complete a painting in two months, so that she can earn a dozen taels a month."

When Vanilla heard her mother's words, her mouth grew!

"Mother, it turns out that you are so powerful, so why are you ......"

Although Vanilla didn't finish speaking, Zhang Yueniang, Yang Qingyi, and Yang Qingyan all understood what this girl meant.

"When my mother first married your father, she would also make handkerchiefs or something to sell, but by chance your grandmother found out, that is, she took away the money that her mother sold embroidered handkerchiefs every time, and gradually her mother had no intention of doing it, not to mention that even if your mother did a good job, they would not give your brothers and sisters enough to eat, and your mother did not have that mind."

The three brothers and sisters suddenly understood, thinking about the past years, and their hearts became sour again.

"Mother, Yi'er wants to wait for the leg injury to heal, go to the place where his father was killed, Yi'er always feels that his father is not dead at all, if he is really dead, how can he not even find the bones all these years, I heard that the uncle also went to the yamen to report the case, if the yamen wants to find a dead person, how can there be some clues over the years."

Yang Qingyi suddenly turned the topic to his father, and the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down.

This has been a topic that has been banned by this family for a long time, but I didn't expect that at this warm moment, Yang Qingyi aroused everyone's sadness again.

Especially vanilla, her eyes were red in an instant, and tears fell one by one.

After all, when her father left, she already had a memory, and her father's love for her made her unforgettable all these years. When she was often bullied by the people in the old house, she would always hide in the mountains alone and cry, missing her father who had no trace.

Yang Qingyan is an outsider, and she doesn't feel anything at all, but in such an atmosphere, she has to pretend to be sad.

Zhang Yueniang was stunned for a moment, her eyes were also red, but only Yang Yang looked ignorant.

"I'll talk about this when your legs are better, okay, the food is cold, you can eat quickly, don't talk."

Zhang Yueniang swallowed her grievances and hurriedly changed the topic.

Yang Qing saw his mother's expression, and it was not easy to continue, and then everyone silently picked up the bowl.

After a few bites of food, Yang Qingyan seemed to suddenly remember something, put down the bowl again, and looked at Yangyang.

"Yangyang, why didn't Gongzi Lin come today?"

"Brother Lin said that he still didn't come here in the past two days, so as not to harm our family with those rumors, I just sent food to Brother Lin, but eldest sister, what does Brother Lin mean by the rumors?"

The little guy's curious look made the family think of this, and the mood was instantly bad again.

Yang Qingyan pulled the corners of his mouth and pouted at Yangyang: "Eat first, and after eating, you go and ask your brother Lin." ”

Hum! You are a dead forest, causing the old lady's family to suffer this catastrophe, and you eat a fart meal!

Yang Yang listened to his eldest sister's words, nodded obediently, and ate his head in a big mouth!

After all, the food has been getting better and better recently, and there is meat at noon and night, which is even better than the New Year! Soon, all the meat on the table occupied the little guy's thoughts!

In the afternoon, Yang Yang took his pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Lin Shen's house next door, and Yang Qingyan took Qiangzi and Da Gang up the mountain together.

It's just that the more they go into the mountains, the more the brothers' hearts beat up.

In the end, Da Gang couldn't hold his breath and opened his mouth.

"Sister Yan'er, this is almost in the mountains, and if you go inside, are you sure there is no danger?"

Yang Qingyan walked ahead, heard Dagang's question, panted back, and smiled.

"Don't worry, my little sister and I have walked back and forth on this road many times, and we haven't even seen a wild boar."

When the two brothers saw that a little girl was so bold, they didn't care about it.

What's more, they used to do odd jobs in the town, and they only earned twenty or thirty yuan a day at most, since their father told them this good thing, they didn't even have the heart to eat today's lunch, thinking about the fact that they could earn three hundred wen a day, it felt like a dream.

Finally, the three of them came to the edge of the pool, Yang Qingyan first put his back basket in the pool, and after four or five minutes, two fish weighing five or six pounds swam in.

When the two brothers saw this scene, their eyes widened!

"This, there are really a lot of fish in this pool, so that the fish can be fished, that is really a god!"

The two brothers sighed in their hearts at the same time, how could they not have discovered such a treasure in the first place!

But this idea is fleeting, after all, now that they can earn 300 wen a day, they are already very content!

In less than half an hour, the baskets of the three of them were filled with buckets of fish, and it was estimated that there were more than 100 catties.

Yang Qingyan was no longer reluctant, and gave the job to the two brothers with confidence.

"Mother, do you know how to weave fishing nets?"

Zhang Yueniang listened to her daughter ask about this, and instantly understood her thoughts.

"This fishing net lady can't do it, but our village's grandmother will, I heard that she was sold from the seaside, and later married grandpa Sun, more than ten years ago, your grandpa also took the fishing net woven by grandma Sun to the river to fish, but now they are older, so they didn't go again."

As long as someone can do it, it's good, Yang Qingyan took two catties of meat at home, and went to Grandma Sun's house for a snack.

Grandma and Grandpa Sun have only one grandson, and their son went out with his father a few years ago and has not returned. And their daughter-in-law waited for a year and ran away.

The two old men personally raised their only grandson, Sun Yuan.
