Volume 1 Chapter 24 Fishing Again
"Sister, this is delicious." Is this really pork liver? There is no taste at all, it is fragrant and glutinous in the mouth, and it is delicious. My sister's craftsmanship is really good, and I have nothing to say.
"Eat more if it's delicious." I sandwiched a few more pieces into Qiao Bai's bowl, but even her eldest brother didn't fall there, "Big brother, you also eat more, this is good for our health." ”
"Okay, you can eat too."
"Big brother, since we promised Juxian Lou to supply ten fish of about two catties a day, there are only two fish baskets at home, which is definitely not enough, you can help me make a few more tomorrow." Luck can't be so good every time.
"I was about to tell you about this, but I didn't expect you to bring it up first. That's what I mean, the day after tomorrow, Juxian Lou will come to get fish, and tomorrow we have to prepare. The two of them actually thought of a piece and coincided.
"Well, tomorrow we will fish during the day and make hawthorn cakes at night." Qiao Xi also said what she thought. So that there will be no delay on either side.
"That's good, there's nothing wrong with making a little more." Save more while you can earn, and it won't be long before the New Year, this year they only have three brothers and sisters, but they must also have a good New Year.
"Don't worry, with me, I will definitely make a lot of money." Qiao Xi patted his chest and swore solemnly.
"Okay, but the eldest brother doesn't want you to be too tired, you can call me for all the heavy work. Big brother is not afraid of getting tired. Qiao Song also expressed his attitude, he can't help his little sister in other things, all he can do is some hard work, and he can still do this.
"And me, and me, I can help." After Qiao Bai was unwilling, he also expressed his position.
"Yes, we're all out together as a family."
After dinner, after everyone had cleaned up, Qiao Xi knocked on Qiao Bai's door with a wooden box, "Big brother." ”
"Little sister, what are you ......" Seeing the wooden box in Qiao Xi's arms, he still didn't understand something.
His little sister is really thinking about it all the time, "Come in." ”
Qiao Xi climbed onto the bed with the wooden box and sat down, opened the wooden box, and poured all the contents on the bed, making a sound that was crisp and pleasant.
"Big brother, little brother, this is what we have earned in the last month, in addition to the money we spent, there are still fifty-three two seven hundred and sixty-three here. Would you like to order it? He pointed to the silver scattered on the bed.
"Just keep it." Anyway, all this money is earned by Xiaomei, he just did some physical work, and didn't do anything else, if it weren't for her, how could the family have so much money.
After speaking, he took out a cloth bag out of nowhere and opened it layer by layer in front of Qiao Xi and Qiao Bai, "Here is some of the last money left after my father and mother left, and I originally thought that I would use it as a last resort." I'm sorry little sister, I haven't told you, in fact, there are still some at home. Qiao Song opened the cloth bag and lay quietly ten taels of silver, he didn't say anything about the ten taels of silver, after finishing his father's funeral, he said to his younger brothers and sisters that there was no money at home, so ......
It hurt his sister to think about making money, and now he also sees that his sister is indeed very powerful, and she has earned so much in less than a month, so he doesn't want to hide it anymore and decides to take out the money.
I hope that the little sister and the little brother don't blame him, he can't help it.
"Big brother, you don't have to apologize to us, you didn't do anything wrong, I know you're also doing this for our good." How could Qiao Xi blame her eldest brother, it seemed like a lot of ten taels, but in fact, if she really used it, it would be a drop in the bucket, and it wouldn't last long, and it would be difficult for her brother to hide something in his heart, so it would definitely be sad.
Qiao Bai is the youngest, and he can't express any opinions now, but he also knows some things, anyway, he has always looked at his sister as the leader, and whatever his sister says, "Big brother, we are a family, it's okay." ”
Qiao Song looked at his younger sister and brother with a relieved face, so he always believed that he was an elder brother.
"Little sister, I will also hand over these ten taels to you, and from now on, the financial power of our family will also be handed over to you, and my little brother and I will be at your disposal. What I promised you before, you can do it boldly, as long as you pay attention to safety. "He just wants the two of them to be healthy, she can do what she wants, he doesn't insist anymore.
"Thank you, big brother, you can rest assured that I will be a good family, so that this money, money makes money, becomes more and more." Qiao Xi said solemnly. From now on, she will have a long way to go, but she is willing to do it, this is her family, her relatives, and blood connection.
"I'm sure you will." She has this talent, so why should she wipe it out, it's better to let her go and let her break in, fail, and them.
"Well, help me put it up."
The three of them sharply put the money on the bed back into the box.
Qiao Xi returned to his room with the box, poured out the silver money again, put the sixty taels of money into the box and put it into the storage ring, and put the other three taels into the purse and kept it close to him.
The storage ring has been on her skin since she was born, and in the eyes of outsiders, it is just a birthmark, but I don't know that it is used to hide things, and the space inside is very large, about 1,000 square meters. Now she's only using the tip of the iceberg.
After collecting these, Qiao Xi went to bed.
The next day, everyone cooperated, Qiao Song was responsible for weaving the fish basket, and Qiao Xi also took Qiao Bai to the river to fish.
When they arrived at the river, there were already several women washing clothes on the bank, and the water used in the village would generally be picked up and stored in large vats.
"It's Miss Xi, so early? What is this to do? "This is the long-tongued woman Liang in the village, whose family's affairs will change the taste in her mouth, and her mouth has no door, and she dares to say anything.
The people in the village generally don't want to deal with her, but she doesn't have the self-knowledge, so she has to get up.
Qiao Xi also knew that this person had met several times when she was with her mother, and if such a person didn't greet her, she might not know how to arrange you.
"Hello auntie." Qiao Xi pulled his brother's clothes and motioned for him to follow and call someone.
"Hey, what are you holding here? It looks like a back basket but it doesn't look like it, what is it used for? Tell my aunt about it. Liang said familiarly.
"It's nothing, it's used to catch fish, and my aunt also knows that our family is now all children, and we can't do a lot of things without hard work, so we can only catch some fish to satisfy our hunger." Qiao Xi said with a sincere smile.
Qiao Bai didn't understand why his sister said this, his heart was full of anxiety, he wanted to stop it, but he knew how bad the person in front of him was, so he could only endure it alive.
"Catch fish, go, go." I thought it was used for something, it's right to think about it, why is she so obsessed, what can the three of them do? There is no source of livelihood, and he can only eat this unpalatable thing to death, Liang waved his hand contemptuously.
"Then my brother and I will leave first." Qiao Xi smiled, took his brother's hand and walked forward.
"Sister, what is Aunt Liang doing?" Qiao Bai always felt that Aunt Liang's eyes were strange, and she looked like she was uneasy and kind.
"Some people like to play the autumn breeze and want to get something for nothing." Qiao Xi said softly.
"Ah...... Their family is not bad, and her son doesn't work as an accountkeeper in the town's embroidery shop. "I heard that her son's salary can earn one or two a month, except for the main family in the village, their family is the richest. Still thinking about going to someone else's pit, this ......
"So what? People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and people like her do not want others to be richer than their family, she will have a superior view and feel that she is superior to others. Qiao Xi guessed exactly what Liang had in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't be so fond of arranging other people's rights and wrongs everywhere.
"Ah......" Qiao Bai couldn't believe it, how could there be such a person, others were better off than her, what did it have to do with her.
"Fool, there are all kinds of people in the world, people like her are just small people, as the saying goes, the name does not fight with the official, the official is the one who has the right to speak, otherwise why do so many people want to study and get ahead. If the poor want to turn over, the only way out is to study. This is why there are so many people who want to provide a scholar even if they have their whole family.
"My sister wants my brother to continue to study so that my eldest brother can go to high school one day?"
"No, my sister is not so superficial, although everything is inferior only to the high level of study, and the merchant is in the lowest class, but if there is no merchant, how can it be possible to make the things in the north be sold in the south, and the things in the south be sold in the north, forming a trade, so that the people on both sides can live a better life, in fact, we must respect every existence, and we can't look down on anyone, even beggars, they also need to be respected." Qiao Xi didn't know that it was her remarks that affected Qiao Bai for a lifetime, and he has always pursued it like this, and it was even written into the family rules, so that every descendant must keep it firmly in mind and do it all the time, so that the incense of the Qiao family that lasts for a hundred years is praised by the world.
"I remember."
"No matter what you do, as long as you are worthy of your heart, what is not satisfied when your heart is satisfied."
“……”
"Forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, you just have to remember that those who respect others will always respect them. The meaning is very simple, you have to respect others, others will respect you, if they disdain to respect you, then such a person is not worth associating. After saying this, Qiao Xi stopped and began to throw the fish basket into the river as he did last time, and waited on the shore with his younger brother.
With the grass blessed with the ability, you should be able to lure schools of fish to the bait!
