Mei Sanniang's purpose here is to buy sea fish, no matter what kind of sea fish you have, but the vendors here only have freshwater fish.

Mei Sanniang asked again: "Big brother, do you know where to sell sea fish?" The old people in the family want to taste it, but they have recently been sick and want to taste something with a taste. ”

Most people's thoughts are to carry money in their own pockets, and if they can't get it, no one else will get it.

The boss still wanted Mei Sanniang to buy some freshwater fish, and picked up a catfish for her and said, "Look at this big fish, right?" ”

"This fish is fat, you don't know that this fish is delicate, where can it not be compared to sea fish, the meat of sea fish is coarse, not so delicate, take a catfish back is the same, this price is better than sea fish."

Mei Sanniang shook her head, if this is the case, she might as well go to the ditch to lay a net, go down the net, I don't know how many crucian carp, crucian carp soup is delicious and delicious, not bad at all.

"Boss, I really just want to buy sea fish, and the old man in the family is still seriously ill for this bite."

Mei Sanniang tried hard to ask the boss to point out something, and the boss finally successfully told her under Mei Sanniang's soft grinding and hard bubbles: "Yes, there is, but this thing is rare, and most of them are kept for themselves." ”

"I have a relative who is estimated to be able to come back tomorrow, or you wait for it, as soon as he comes back from the beach tomorrow, he will bring a lot of seafood. Do you think so? Then you come again. ”

Mei Sanniang was overjoyed when she heard this, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow." ”

Mei Sanniang doesn't like to walk, and she walks a few kilometers every time, and she hints to herself along the way, in order to feel at ease.

The next day, she got up early in the morning, sent porridge to Old Man Li to drink, and added a white water egg, saying that people with colds can't eat eggs, but nutrition can't keep up with how to improve immunity.

Mei Sanniang walked to Old Man Li's house, and she could still hear Old Man Li's constant coughing sound, which sounded even more fierce than before.

"Old man Li, are you feeling better?"

When Old Man Li saw Mei Sanniang coming, he got out of bed with his body propped up, but he still couldn't help coughing, although he tried his best to suppress it, the continuous coughing sound made people feel numb.

"Sanniang, I'm much better, you see I can get out of bed, I want to go duck-yo, this cat nests in my bed every day and meows non-stop, Sanniang still uses the medicine you gave me."

Mei Sanniang put the rice aside and joked: "You cough non-stop, it's better, I'm not a panacea, just eat it once, how can it be so fast." ”

"Uncle Li, do you think this sea fish is really that ugly?"

Mei Sanniang mentioned sea fish, and Old Man Li was interested.

"It's delicious, you can eat little by little."

"Sanniang, if you have a chance, you must taste it, make sure it is delicious."

Mei Sanniang joked: "You just ate sea fish once, and it seems that you have eaten a lot." ”

Old man Li coughed a few times and laughed and groaned, "Haven't you never eaten it?" Let me tell you. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you must try it, and the meal is excellent. ”

Mei Sanniang listened and replied, "Okay, let's eat sea fish together in the future, okay?" When the time comes, you pay. ”

Old man Li was suddenly amused by Mei Sanniang: "Your wishful thinking is good, my bad old man's ideas are all on board." ”

"Little girl, if you want to take advantage of me in the future, let me tell you, there is a wooden box under my bed, and all my belongings are in it."

Before Mei Sanniang finished speaking, she interjected: "Why are you telling me what you are doing, aren't you afraid that I will sneak in while you are asleep?" ”

Old man Li is not afraid of Mei Sanniang's touch, he can't wait for Mei Sanniang to take it.

"Hey, you can't steal my belongings for nothing, take my benefits, you have to collect my body."

"Bah, what nonsense, I won't collect your body, it's too early for you to leave, you are so young, you can't live a long life, there are still decades to live, if you want to leave, God won't accept you, call you back."

Old man Li was amused by Mei Sanniang, and couldn't help laughing.

"I hope so, I hope so."

Mei Sanniang urged: "This porridge will be cold if you don't drink it, you can drink it quickly." ”

"Okay, I'll drink."

Uncle Li Yihe felt that something was wrong, he was scooping it up with a spoon, and at least half of the bowl was full of rice.

"Sanniang, where did you get the rice? So much. It took a lot of money, do you think I'm a bad old man who eats so well? Isn't it a waste? ”

Mei Sanniang doesn't think so.

"If you're sick, eat more good food and supplement your nutrition."

"Look at your skinny body, it looks weak."

"Besides, does my family look like a poor person? My family has three sheep. There are also a few chickens left to lay eggs. ”

"I'm going to get a puppy. Our Chinese pastoral dog is powerful and can guard the house. Don't I have three sheep at home? I couldn't sleep every night for fear that the sheep would be stolen. ”

Uncle Li was a little shocked, and his voice raised slightly.

"Don't you have only two in your family? How is there another head. ”

Mei Sanniang was actually very surprised, maybe this sheep came back to repay the favor.

"Didn't I get a new ewe before? And the ewe came back. ”

When Old Man Li heard this, he muttered a few words in his mouth, but Mei Sanniang didn't hear it clearly, and then she heard Old Man Li say: "The sheep has come back to repay the favor, and this sheep can't be killed in the future." ”

The old man is superstitious about these things as always, Mei Sanniang thought that it was estimated that the sheep could find its way home, but fortunately, Huang Gu did not come to the door, and it is estimated that she didn't know where the sheep went.

"Old man Li, eat it quickly, there are eggs, I cooked some green leaves, under the rice."

Old man Li couldn't help but sigh as he ate this bowl of rice: "This is the best time I have eaten in my life." ”

"Don't lift me up, it's better than this coarse tea and light rice during the New Year, and there are chickens, ducks and fish, how can this clear soup be compared with little water."

What Mei Sanniang didn't know was that this was indeed the best time that Old Man Li ate, and he usually ate a nest of nests casually, not to mention this white rice, he was reluctant to eat it every time, let alone white rice.

Occasionally, when children come to the house to play, he will cook a little rice, and the pot in the pot is a good thing that the children compete for.

"Uncle Li, go back and eat well, make up for it."

Uncle Li beckoned, "It's a cost." You keep it for the kids. Children are growing their bodies. ”

Mei Sanniang thinks it's okay, after all, no matter how well the children eat, their mouths will float in the future, so it's better to eat something poor, so you don't have to worry about the children being picky eaters.

"Xue'er doesn't need it, let alone returning to church."

"Uncle Li, besides, you are a patient, and the patient has priority."

Mei Sanniang looked at Uncle Li with a smile, although she was smiling on her face, she couldn't suppress her sadness in her heart.

Mei Sanniang felt a stump in her heart, and she was even more uncomfortable, she looked at the extra dark and brown spots on Uncle Li's face, it was not that she had not washed her face, it was a sign of poor health.

She had heard that the old man had more dark spots like this, which meant that he would be leaving soon.

"Uncle Li, it's delicious, my cooking skills are not covered, I plan to cook hot pot to eat in a few days, but unfortunately you can't eat spicy, I can only fry some vegetarian dishes for you first."

Uncle Li doesn't pick anything, "I will eat what you do!" What Sanniang makes is delicious. ”

The older generation is not picky eaters, and being able to eat is already the greatest happiness.

In the past, hey, going back decades, eating is a problem, the wild vegetables on the mountain are dug up and eat some roots and bark, at that time there was no way, people have to be hungry, hungry to eat, not to eat, hungry for a few days in the heart of panic, no energy intake, will starve to death.

"Sanniang, remember, my things are under the bed."

Old man Li reminded again, for fear that Sanniang would not take it.

"I don't care about your little."

"My family wasn't that poor enough to steal."

Old man Li smiled: "It's not stealing, I told you, how can this be called stealing!" ”

"Okay, no kidding you."

Old man Li drank the last bit of porridge in one go, and then took the bowl and prepared to wash it.

At this time, Mei Sanniang saw that it was almost noon, and she told Uncle Li: "Hey, I'll go to the town to see, if you have anything you want to buy, I'll bring it back for you." ”

Old man Li shook his head: "You go, I don't have anything to bring, net money." ”

Mei Sanniang doesn't like to run to the town, now the town is sparsely populated, everyone hides at home and dare not come out, and occasionally a few vendors are still shouting on the street.

"I'll buy some meat and cook some meat for you, it's going to be good as soon as possible."

As soon as Mei Sanniang said, Old Man Li hurriedly refused.

"Why are you disobedient, what kind of money do you spend, you have only eaten meat once in the past few months, what kind of meat do you give me this bad old man!"

Mei Sanniang told Old Man Li to let him relax.

"This meat can't be eaten for nothing, didn't you tell me there was something good under the bed? This tells me, don't you have to tell others, no, you have to do this, my meat is hush money, you can only tell me alone. ”

Old man Li didn't mention how happy he was, he nodded again and again, "Good, good, good." ”

"Sanniang, thank you."

"Ahem, ahem."

Mei Sanniang closed the door for Old Man Li and prepared to go to the town, but when she arrived at the shop, the boss told her.

"Girl, my friend hasn't come back, but he's already on the way, just a day or two, and wait."

Mei Sanniang lost her patience in an instant, but she didn't dare to say it, she could only smile.

"It's okay, why don't I come tomorrow? Will it arrive tomorrow? ”

"How much does it cost?"

"It's okay, big girl, why don't you come tomorrow and sell you a little cheaper." The boss is very talkative, but Mei Sanniang has mixed feelings in her heart, she has been walking for so long for so long, and the result is that she came for nothing, how uncomfortable it is to mention that kind of fall.

"Okay, I'll come tomorrow."

Mei Sanniang walked around again, and finally came to a pork stall.

She looked at the pork carefully, the pork belly was delicious, she asked the price, and then weighed a small lump.

In addition to buying pork belly, she also bought some sweets, although she didn't come to town very often, but she came twice just to buy fish, and the third tomorrow.
