When the three brothers came over, Liu Lao and the three brothers were surprised to see four baskets of fish.

"Mother, how did you catch the fish?" Boss Liu couldn't help but ask with curiosity in his heart.

Liu Lao and the third also stared at the pile of fish in disbelief, and turned over the fish with their hands, and found that there were quite a lot of fish types.

Meng Ran glanced at the three cheap sons angrily, "If you don't get it back, the fish will be piled up and dead, while it is still alive, quickly move it home for me and get it in the water tank to raise." ”

The three brothers carried the more than 100 catties of fish home, lest anyone in the village suffer from pink eye.

For lunch, Meng Ran boiled fish directly, steamed two large fish for everyone to eat together, and then made a crucian carp tofu soup for the fourth daughter-in-law, boiling the soup to be milky and milky, full of nutrition.

Whoever called this fish was a blessing to the cubs, and naturally she couldn't shorten her rations.

While eating, Meng Ran thought about selling the fish for some money:

"Boss, you take the fourth child to wait for the afternoon to be cooler, then transport the fish to the town to sell, and then buy some coarse grains and come back."

Meng Ran thought that he didn't have to take money out of his own pocket, and he could buy food directly if he had money from selling fish.

The three daughters-in-law on the table had long been staring at the two big tanks of fish at home, watching her mother-in-law stop talking, Liu Lanshi in the second room couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch her husband's waist through her clothes.

Liu Lao Er was holding the rice bowl and eating up, looking puzzled, "You mother-in-law, what do you want to do?" ”

Liu Lan's eyes were strained, and seeing that he didn't understand, he was anxious, "You wood!" ”

When Meng Ran saw the second daughter-in-law like this, she knew that she pouted her ass and wanted to fart.

He said slowly: "Pick three fish from each room and bring them back to your parents' house, don't say that I deliberately don't let you send things, old woman." ”

Seeing that her mother-in-law had spoken, Liu Lan achieved her goal and happily flattered: "Mother, who in Liujia Village didn't say that you treat your daughter-in-law with atmosphere!" ”

"Second daughter-in-law, you don't have to pat me on the back, I'll come back to work as soon as the fish is sent back."

Liu Lanshi laughed twice, "Got it, mother." ”

"Fourth, you will go to your daughter-in-law's house alone, bring one more fish, and report the good news by the way."

It's already very good to be able to take three fish back to her parents' house, and the second daughter-in-law doesn't dare to say anything, the fourth family has one more, the big house, the third room is silent, anyway, there is no shortage of their share.

Actually, Meng Ran is not afraid that they will force Lai Lai, it would be good to give them points, what else do you want? She caught all the fish by herself, and she was tired to death!

After eating, I went into the fourth room to look at the cubs, and found that the koi cubs were holding their mothers to feed, and the ones they ate were called sweet!

Meng Ran gently said to the fourth daughter-in-law: "I didn't have time to choose a name yesterday, you take the big name of this girl, I take the nickname, the fourth daughter-in-law, is it successful?" ”

"Mother, I'll give you all the names."

Wu Taohua doesn't mind this, not to mention that among the four daughters-in-law in the family, her mother-in-law is the best for herself, she doesn't work so hard when she marries, and her mother-in-law doesn't beat or scold, she treats people kindly, and when she gives birth to a son, she is even more baby.

"The little girl you gave birth to is very blessed, and the nickname is not lined up with other girls, so it's called Yu'er!"

"Daming, you let the fourth one be the father."

Meng Ran held the breastfed dumpling in his arms, "Cub, will you call Yu'er in the future?" Precious as jade, jade is precious, you are the pearl of our Liu family's future family. ”

After eating, I was sleepy and confused, and I couldn't manage so much, so I spit out a small bubble and fell asleep again.

Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Wu Taohua didn't think so, thinking that her mother-in-law liked it for a while, so she didn't tear down the stage, she was a girl, and her mother-in-law didn't dislike it.

…………

Zhangmu Town.

Boss Liu and Liu Laosi worked hard to pull more than 100 catties of fish to the town with a wooden cart.

I soaked my shirt with sweat, wiped the sweat on my head with a rag, gasped for breath, couldn't help but stop and go, and finally found a market.

In the afternoon, there were fewer people, so I found a relatively empty stall and moved the fish off the car.

It's not the first time that the fourth child has sold something, and he shouted: "Sell fish!" The fish is super fresh! Freshly caught fish! ”

"Big fish cost a pound, small fish cost a pound, come and buy it."

Hearing the shouting, passers-by stopped in front of the stalls.

Pointing his fingers, he looked at the fish and said, "Little brother, it's so hot and dry this day, you can still catch fish, where can you catch it?" ”

Liu Laosi replied with a polite smile: "It rained yesterday, and I finally caught it today, big brother, if you want to eat fish, buy two more." ”

"Okay, then bring me two big ones."

"Well, you look at the two big ones, I'll give you them, two six cents."

A woman wrapped in a headscarf and carrying a basket said critically: "Looking at your fish as if you are about to roll your eyes, give me a cheaper, little brother, buy a big fish, and you will give me a small fish." ”

"Auntie, a small business, just waiting for the fish to be sold and exchanged for some food. You see, if you buy two big fish, I'll give you a small one. ”

The woman pursed her lips, thinking that it was better to talk than nothing, so that she could take advantage of two big fish, and decided to buy two big ones.

Besides, looking at the poor face of the fish seller, he gave a little charity and said condescendingly: "Okay, pick me a fresh one." ”

There were few fish sellers in the market, so when there were many people, the two brothers were in a hurry, and they sold the fish for more than two hours.

Hold a sturdy money bag. Boss Liu and Elder Liu glanced at each other, "Clean up the guy and go to the grain store." ”

"Okay, big brother."

…………

As soon as the two brothers came to the grain store, they spoke directly:

"The shopkeeper wants 5 catties of polished rice, 30 catties of brown rice, 50 catties of corn kernels, and 200 catties of sweet potatoes."

The shopkeeper was wearing a long coat and a pair of blue boots on his feet, smiling, bringing people in, hearing the food to be bought, fiddling with the abacus, and counting:

"Milled rice is 6 wen a catty, brown rice is three wen a catty, corn kernels are one wen a catty, sweet potato is 2 catties, a total of 270 wen!"

Boss Liu reluctantly counted out 270 copper plates from the money bag and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Then he took out the cloth bag he brought over, weighed the grain and put it in a bamboo basket and carried it back, if it wasn't for the old lady telling him to buy some polished rice and brown rice, the brothers would be reluctant to buy it, and they didn't dare to spend so much money to buy this kind of rice.

If you have sweet potatoes to eat, it would be good to buy some corn kernels, and almost all of the farmers drink them thinly, and they don't pay attention to rice, and pasta is even rarer.

"Fourth, are you hungry? Let's buy a pancake and nibble on it before we go back. ”

Liu Laosi nodded, if he wasn't worried that there was too much money and it would not be safe to stay on him, he would buy food first.

The two brothers spent four cents to buy two large baked cakes, drank cold water, swallowed their stomachs, and went back after they were full.

…………

"Mother, we're back."

Meng Ran looked at the tired two sons, and directly ordered: "Move the grain directly to my house." ”

After they put the grain, Meng Ran asked, "How many copper plates did the fish sell today?" ”

"It cost 270 wen to buy food, and the rest is here, and our two brothers haven't counted it."

After speaking, Boss Liu pulled the money bag out of his waist.

Meng Ran didn't say a word, poured the money of the entire money bag on the table, and the copper coins rattled.

Counting them one by one, there were a total of 290 copper coins, and the family savings finally came in, and the heart gradually stabilized.

Although there is still a long way to go from one or two silver coins, as long as you struggle, the future is always bright.

The two brothers quietly watched their mother count the money, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Meng Ran counted out ten from a large pile of copper plates, "Come, the hard work of five copper plates for one person, I will save the rest." ”

The eldest and the fourth got five cents each, and turned around and left satisfied.

After they left, Meng Ran closed the room and put the money into his small treasury, it would cost a lot of money to raise the koi cubs, so he had to hurry up and earn more money!
