A woman in her forties, dressed in a coarse black cloth, stood at the entrance of the courtyard, her face full of displeasure.

Chen Jingshan walked out of the house with a smile and smiled at Zhao Erniang: "Auntie, don't be angry, Xiaohu is happy to help others." ”

Zhao Erniang glanced at it with slanted eyes, and saw Chen Jingshan's hippie smiling face, her face softened a little, but her tone did not soften, she frowned and continued:

"Xiaohu is now in the third grade, you asked him to take off his pants and pretend to be a yellow eel for you, how will he behave at school in the future? Then the classmates are not allowed to laugh at him? ”

When Zhao Xiuzhi heard this in the house, she immediately laughed and quipped: "His aunt, what's so funny about a child's bare feet, do you need to be so atmospheric?" ”

"Cut, it's not your child, of course you don't say that," Zhao Erniang pouted.

Seeing his mother helping to talk, Chen Jingshan hurriedly touched the melon, patted his chest and said: "Auntie, don't be angry, Xiaohu is treating me as a big brother to help me like this, and I will take his pocket money in the future, how about it?" ”

"Xiaohu is two cents a day, do you really have his pocket money?" Zhao Erniang showed a hint of disbelief in her eyes, and then said: "I heard that you want to get yellow eels to sell, can this thing make money?" ”

"It's not that my family has no money, I didn't go to college, I want to try to see if I can make some money to go to school." Chen Jingshan had a bitter face, his expression was just right, and he didn't say whether he could make money.

Zhao Erniang originally wanted to come to probe the wind to see if there was any big boss who collected yellow eels, but seeing Chen Jingshan's expression, she knew that her idea had failed, so she dusted off her clothes and said:

"I won't let you be responsible for Xiaohu's pocket money, don't teach him to irrigate my cow with salt in the future, the cow was thirsty and foaming just now, if anything happens to my cow in the future, I will find you trouble!"

"No, no, no," Chen Jingshan touched his nose in embarrassment, and his face was full of doubts until Zhao Erniang left.

"It shouldn't be, I'm teaching me as much as Second Brother Zhang before."

In the end, Chen Jingshan shook his head and left this matter behind, the current second brother Zhang has been working for many years, and the children will make soy sauce, and it is normal for him to remember mistakes after a long time.

Although Zhao Erniang said that he would not be responsible for pocket money, in fact, Chen Jingshan understood in his heart that although Xiaohu and they like to play and catch yellow eels, they don't want to give some benefits, especially after they make money from this, there must be many people in secret.

At that time, not only Zhao Erniang, but also Tielin and his mother will come to find trouble.

If Huang Eel really makes money, Chen Jingshan is not ready to let Xiaohu and them help catch it, and he doesn't even have to do it himself, so he will go directly to their house to collect it and sell it in the city when the time comes, which is more secure.

Chen Dahai came back from outside with a basket of pigweed, and also saw Zhao Erniang's back when she left, and asked Chen Jingshan suspiciously: "What is that long-tongued woman doing at home?" ”

"Inquire about my yellow eel, did you tell someone else?" Chen Jingshan asked with a face full of unhappiness.

"Your uncle asked you how long you would go to school, and we started talking, and I didn't say anything, just said that you want to do the business of pouring yellow eels." Putting down the back basket, Chen Dahai said while washing his hands, as if he didn't realize that he had leaked his mouth.

And that's not saying anything......

Chen Jingshan's face darkened, but his father didn't have any heart at all, so he just said what others asked......

Although he didn't say anything to Chen Dahai, Chen Jingshan himself also kept an eye on it, and if there were any more important things in the future, he would rather tell his mother than let his father know.

After eating, Chen Jingshan set off for Sanhe Town, four kilometers away, about half an hour away from Shuitian Village.

Chen Jingshan also has a cousin who is five years older than him, who joined Sanhe Town five years ago, and now he is doing a living by killing pigs and selling meat, he has no mother since he was a child, and he lost his father three years ago, and now Chen Dahai's family is his only relative.

Chen Jingshan went this time, just to ask him to borrow a motorcycle to pull the yellow eel to the county seat, but whether he could borrow it Chen Jingshan didn't know whether he could do it, his cousin couldn't be the master at home, and it was not easy to be a son-in-law.

The confluence of the three rivers is the town of Sanhe, even in Peng County, Sanhe Town is also a big town, every day of the market, people within a radius of more than ten kilometers will go here to buy or sell things.

If you don't catch the market today, and it's almost dark, there are not many people in the town, and the streets are chattering, Chen Jingshan stopped at the door of a pork shop called 'Sanhe Pork' and started knocking on the door.

The pork shop is actually a photo, with a compound behind a signboard wrapped around a two-story red brick house.

"Who?"

A woman's voice sounded, and Chen Jingshan couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this voice.

This sister-in-law is not easy to get along with, it is rumored that it is a famous iron rooster in ten miles and eight towns, he has seen it twice before this, the eldest brother is married once, and borrowing money last year is counted once.

When the door opened, a large, well-nourished and round face plate was revealed, with a strand of hair that seemed to have been permed, attached to the left side of his forehead, and a mole the size of a grain of rice on his right cheek.

"Jingshan, have you eaten?" Su Hongyue held on to the edge of the gate and greeted with a smile, without meaning to get out of the way.

"Sister-in-law, didn't I borrow two thousand yuan from you when my mother was sick last year," Chen Jingshan said with a smile, seeing the smile in Su Hongyue's eyes, he hurriedly said:

"One of my classmates loves to eat yellow eel at home, let me send him some to taste, if it's really delicious, buy more, dozens of people in his family, want more, I sell him a piece of five pounds, more than a thousand pounds is enough to repay your family's money, I want to borrow a motorcycle from you."

Chen Jingshan said nonsense seriously, this Su Hongyue is a master who sees money, otherwise, she will definitely not lend the car, and even last year, in order to borrow money, I heard that the eldest brother was almost kicked out by her.

"Your eldest brother is at home, you can talk to him."

As soon as she heard that she was not here to repay the money, the smile on Su Hongyue's face faded a little, and she turned sideways to let Chen Jingshan enter the door, she didn't care if he could get the money Su Hongyue didn't care, she just hoped that she could return her money quickly.

"Then thank you sister-in-law,"

Chen Jingshan grinned and hurriedly stepped into the gate, in the courtyard, a young man in his twenties with a somewhat fat figure was scalding pigs.

Hearing the movement, he turned his head and saw Chen Jingshan coming, and he immediately laughed: "Jingshan, it's about to start school, right?" ”

Chen Yu put down the work in his hand, took out a Qingliangtai cigarette, took out one and handed it over, and asked, "Do you know how to smoke?" College students are all smokers. ”

"It will be a little bit," Chen Jingshan took it with a smile, and Chen Yu lit another match and handed it to him.

After lighting the cigarette, Chen Jingshan was not polite, rolled up his sleeves and grabbed the scraper next to him to help him shave the pig hair.

Seeing that Chen Jingshan was so 'sensible', Chen Yu turned his head and glanced at it before whispering: "Is the tuition fee not enough?" I saved a hundred yuan of private money, and I will find an opportunity to give it to you later, and I will save it for you when you come back. ”

Looking at the cautious appearance of the eldest brother, Chen Jingshan couldn't help but feel that his eyes were a little moist, and said with a smile: "Don't go, I came to you to borrow a motorcycle, I'll go to the county town to see if I can do business." ”

"How could you not go! Our Chen family can rely on you to glorify our ancestors! Chen Yu frowned and looked at Chen Jingshan, and said, "Where is the business so easy to do, you want to sell yellow eels, right?" People in the city will probably be scared when they see that thing, let alone sell it, listen to my brother, go to study! ”

"Brother, you also know the conditions at home, I can't pay back the money I owe to others, life is tight, if I don't pay back at the end of this year, I'm afraid some people will come to the door to raid the house."

Chen Yu frowned and was silent for a long time before he relented: "Okay, you help me shave the pigs, I'll go and get the money to you, whether it's going to school or doing business, only when you have money can you have confidence, unlike me, it's not ......like me."

He said the last three words very lightly, but Chen Jingshan still heard them, and felt more and more that the eldest brother had a hard time as a son-in-law over the years, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he must help him.

He didn't think it was strange for his eldest brother to know about this, Sanhe Town and Shuitian Village were such a big place, and it wouldn't take an hour for something to spread, and it was many times stronger than what intelligence station............

Night falls.

On the rugged mountain road, Chen Jingshan rode an old-fashioned second-hand 250 motorcycle to rush back, and his eldest brother gave him a hundred yuan in his pocket.
