"You misunderstood the third brother, he almost helped my father fish on the lake all these years, and he didn't come back until his foot was pierced, and the third sister-in-law was ...... Third sister-in-law......"

"Help people fish every day to earn money, but in the end there is no money to treat your daughter-in-law? Lotus is put on you, you can accept that your husband has money for everything, but you have no money to see a doctor at a critical moment? ”

Lotus put down her arm dejectedly, "The money was used by my mother to build a house for the eldest brother and the second brother, and after the third brother's foot was broken, the family would have no money to earn, but ......"

"I don't want to inquire about those bad things in your family, but after listening to your sister-in-law, I will give you a word of advice;"

"Don't think of yourself as a savior, at the age of fifteen, keep your eyes open and find a reliable husband to live, at least don't be like the mother of the stone brothers and sisters, and the mother who raises the child with milk is the mother."

Lotus looked at the grass foam that was busy playing not far away, "How does the third sister-in-law know that Yubao has little affection for his mother?" ”

"I'm not blind, can't I see his hateful eyes on me the first day I came? I just gave him a piece of bread to eat, and he immediately changed his attitude towards me, and knew that he secretly hid buns for his father to eat, but I couldn't feel his attachment to his mother, and he was very kind to his father. ”

After listening to this, Lianhua couldn't calm down for a long time, "Third sister-in-law, I remember what you said, no one clicks on me in ordinary life, I can't see what the problem is,"

"I just realized we were confused! No wonder my father said that the third brother's family was ruined by my mother, I was not convinced by what my father said, I think it was ruined by my sister-in-law, I only understand the sadness in it when you say this," she squatted down and cried loudly.

Shui Qing squatted down and patted her, "Life is all for yourself, Shi Niang humbly wants to live on your third brother, she buried herself by herself," gently pressed her shoulder and got up and continued to weave fishing nets.

Lianhua cried on the ground for a while before getting up, "Third sister-in-law, I will often come over to help you in the future." ”

Shui Qing looked at her eyes and flashed for a long time, this girl's mind was transparent and pure, she didn't look like a child of the Zhou family, "Lotus, you...... Cast your nets and catch fish when you're fine! ”

"Third sister-in-law, my father casts a net every day! The family is not very busy and does not delay the affairs of the family, and the small thin strips that are caught every day are directly poured out, unlike your thin fish, which are washed out and dried. ”

Shui Qing looked back, "What I'm talking about is that you also wash out the thin fish and keep it, and I'll take you to earn an pocket money to save when it's cold, but you can't tell others, just know it in your own heart." ”

Lotus looked up at Shui Qing's serious expression, and her eyes flashed with surprise and then disbelief.

"Third sister-in-law, can you sell small strips for money? But I heard my father say that the dock fish shop doesn't accept small strips? ”

"It's true that the fish store doesn't accept it, so I taught you to make it, and we will secretly go to Fucheng to sell it, and there are more people who know it, and they can't sell it at a price."

"I understand the third sister-in-law, when my father comes back in the evening, I will wash the small strips and dry them, and this thing will rot in my stomach," Lotus suddenly smiled.

The two sisters-in-law of the five nets were busy all afternoon before making up for it.

"The third brother is back, then my father should also be back, I'll go back and see the third sister-in-law."

"Well, don't come over tomorrow to help, the boat is back, and I'll have to fish in the lake tomorrow."

"I know the third sister-in-law," Lotus turned around and ran back briskly.

"I paid taxes on the money for fishing, and I heard Uncle Xiao say that if you have a boat at home, it's best not to let the yacha come to collect it, otherwise you will come to collect the money at two ends in three days."

"Well, did the yamen give the tax slip voucher?"

"Given," Zhou Xingping hurriedly took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to her, "I...... I was going to come back and ask you, but I was afraid that the yacha would come to Zhuangzi in the past two days......"

"What do you want me to do?" Shui Qing took the tax voucher and looked at it, and saw that there was a big red seal, she folded it and put it in the house.

When he came out, he saw the stone moving the fish and asked, "Stone, do you see my big fish net?" After you left, I searched all over the house, inside and outside, but I couldn't find it. ”

"Ah...... I forgot that my school mother had tied the big fishing net to the back of the boat to catch fish," Shi quickly got up and ran towards the boat.

Zhou Xingping ran behind him, why didn't he know when he was tied up?

Shui Qing took off his shoes and went into the water to catch the net, and the fish in the very heavy net couldn't be dragged at all, "Did you catch me for fish food?" ”

"Caught it, I saw my mother go back to the net and grab a handful of mud and put it in, I grabbed four handfuls and put them in."

Shui Qing tugged at the net, "You are quite willing, that fish food is my exclusive secret match, usually two handfuls are enough to run back and forth, hurry up and help pull the net." ”

Zhou Xingping took the net, and the family worked together to pull it up, revealing that the net was full of big fish, and there was almost a net full of fish!

"I said, why can't you rock the boat today! When I turned around, Uncle Xiao's father and son helped me come back, and asked me to check the boat when I got home," he said to himself as he pulled to the shore and looked at the big fish.

Shui Qing ran back and got a basket to pick up fish, "In the future, when you go out to sell fish, you can't bring nets, and it's easy to overturn other people's boats when there are too many boats." ”

"I know Mother," the stone sat on the ground and put the fish in the basket.

This net fish caught at least seven or eight hundred catties, no wonder they couldn't shake the boat! No one went to the waterway to the wharf to fish, and the stone took a trip with a net today, and there was food inside, and the fish didn't run with it.

The fish dragged to the shore were left for them to clean up, and the water was cleaned and their hands went into the house to start making dinner.

"Mother, what should we do if we catch three big fish?" Stone ran in excitedly with a red face and asked.

"Flower fish?" Shui Qing also hurriedly ran out to see, a golden fish with long arms, a fish with a red back and a white belly, and a golden fish with black and red stripes. ”

Her eyes instantly lit up like flames, turned around and ran to the house to get a half-person high wooden barrel, this is the breathable bucket left by Wang Changxing's father, Wang Changxing didn't know that the baby was brought by her, she was reluctant to use it in the house like a baby.

"Hurry up and catch the fish in and scoop some water from the lake to raise it, you continue to pick fish and put them in the lake, I will finish the food, we will go to Fucheng overnight to sell it, this fish is a pity to die of delicateness!"

Zhou Xingping heard Shui Qing say this, and hurriedly caught the fish into the bucket, scooped a basin of water into the stone, poured it in, and followed behind to help get the fish.

The door was cleared, and the house was called for dinner.

"Where's your father?" Shui Qing saw the two children come in.

"Daddy said he'd come when the fish was stuffy," replied Grass Mozi, eating the bun.

"Let's go to Fucheng in the evening and come back at noon tomorrow, you two don't tell people about it, go into the house after eating, plug the door and go to bed, don't you go to the lake to play in the morning?"

"I heard it."

After warning the child, she filled six pieces of bread, loaded three jugs of water and threw them into the basket, came out and walked to the back of the house to see the situation, "Okay, okay?" ”

"Okay," Zhou Xingping got up and went to the side to wash his hands.

"The things are here," Shui Qing turned around after explaining and watched the two children finish eating, watched them go to bed, blew out the fish lamp and closed the door before leaving.

When she came to the lake, Zhou Xingping was already waiting for her on the boat, and her bucket was tied tightly in the center of the boat.

"Let's go!" Shui Qing took the oars and shook them at the stern of the boat, and the boat floated on the lake all night with a lone lamp.

At dawn in the morning, the two of them were tired and quite tired to the wharf of Fenyang City, Zhou Xingping got off the boat and found the person watching the boat at the wharf, and handed him the only fifteen money in his hand.

"The boat rowed to this corner and was on a leash," said the man who watched the boat, taking a sign and handing it to him.

Shui Qing saw that he had got the brand, so he quickly rowed the boat over and stopped at the designated position, tied it, and handed it to the shore with great difficulty holding the bucket.

The people who come and go on the dock are porters who carry goods and feet.

There are also many decent people who wear brocade commanders, and they are followed by small servants who listen to orders.

Many porters who have nothing to do, seeing that Shui Qing is a woman caught in the middle of people, they get up and deliberately come over to rub her.

Zhou Xingping held the bucket and looked at the people around him vigilantly, intentionally or unintentionally protecting Shui Qing behind him.

"Steward Yang, you can see if everything is complete."

"Come to Xizi, you go and see it, it's all the old lady's birthday gift, it's not a little sloppy, if something goes wrong, we can't eat and walk around," a fat old man in his forties instructed the people around him to check.

Shui Qing stopped and looked at them, the fat old man was wearing a good cotton silk shirt, and the thin one was ordinary clothes, and the two fat and thin people were looking at the hands of the thin and tender meat, and at a glance, they knew that they were decent housekeepers of large families, and she stretched out her hand and secretly pulled Zhou Xingping.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Xingping was nervously looking at the people around him, so he might as well be pulled and asked in a low voice.

"Our chance is here, go slower and follow these two decent housekeepers," Shui Qing said almost leaning into Zhou Xingping's ear.

Zhou Xingping followed her gaze and nodded.

The two of them unhurriedly followed the bucket out of the dock, Shui Qing looked back and saw that the dock was empty of fishmongers and fishermen, and hurriedly ran up to stop people.

"Steward Yang, wait a minute, we have fish for you to see......"

"Let's go! Where did it come from? Laixi stretched out his hand to drive people away, staring at Shui Qing and not letting her approach.

Zhou Xingping ran over with a bucket in his arms.

"Steward Yang, you want to do your best on the old lady's birthday, I promise that you will not suffer a loss when you see my fish, this fish, Dongji Fish Store gave me thirty taels and I was not willing to sell it, I will pick and choose for you today."

"What fish thirty taels? When we are stupid ......"

Steward Yang walked over, "Open the fish bucket and show me." ”

Zhou Xingping hurriedly opened the lid of the barrel to show him.

"The golden one is called the Golden Bodhisattva Fish and is also called the Xiangrui Fish, the red one is the Fortune Fish, and the one with the flower is called the Man Bed Wat, you may not know the meaning of this fish, but I promise that you will ask the old lady to ask the old lady to serve the mother who knows it!"

"If you can't make up your mind, you can go back to the mansion and ask the old master of your mansion, this is really the best omen for your birthday."

Steward Yang looked at the fish in a tangled way, don't you want to lose the opportunity to be in the limelight, or this fish is too expensive, he wants to lower the price, and when he saw that the two people named Huazi said that the head was the way, the bucket he held was the same as in the long arms.

Zhou Xingping saw him and hurriedly closed the lid of the bucket, as if he looked at the fish after one more look.

Shui Qing saw that the lid of the bucket was closed, and her private hand was released.

"Let's go to Beppu! Steward Yang has a good birthday gift, let's not bother him much," Zhou Xingping said to Shui Qing while holding the fish bucket and leaving.

"Wait...... I'll take you to the mansion to show the young master," Steward Yang didn't dare to take the risk himself for fear of losing, so he simply sold it to a young master in the mansion, maybe he could look at it differently in the future!

Shui Qing and Zhou Xingping glanced at each other, and followed behind with a bucket.
