Chapter 33: The Fish Deliverer

Chen Xiuyun looked left and right, next door to her house was Lao Jiang's house, there was no one on the right, and then there was Lin Dai, she didn't know which "well-wisher" sent the fish, and for a moment she conspired to wonder, whether Zhang Fengmei wanted to frame her and take revenge on her.

But if there is fish to eat, will Zhang Fengmei be willing to frame her with fish?

Chen Xiuyun took down the fish, and one of them flicked his tail, but it was still alive.

Chen Xiuyun filled the wooden basin at home with water and put the fish in it, and four of the five large grass carp came to life when there was water.

Chen Xiuyun didn't dare to move this fish for the time being, and was going to raise it first. I don't know who sent it, and I don't feel at ease when I eat it.

When Jiang Xinyu and Jiang Yuzhu got up, they saw fish in the "hall house" outside the grass curtain.

After hearing Chen Xiuyun say that the fish he saw on the gate of the courtyard in the early morning, the two of them were a little confused.

Early in the morning, after Chen Xiuyun put down the origin of the fish, she lived the stick noodles, and there were still leftovers from last night, and after it was heated in the pot, Chen Xiuyun pasted cakes on the side of the pot.

Paste the cake and simmer it with a lid.

When the lid is lifted again, the aroma of the stick dough cake comes out.

The old Jiang family next door smelled this familiar smell again, and Mrs. Li's face stretched longer.

Yesterday, Jiang Guisheng wanted to make up the deficit of twenty-five yuan from Mrs. Li, but was scolded back by Mrs. Li. Zhang Fengmei didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, but she lost such a big face, and she was taken by Mrs. Li several times, even if she didn't live in a hospital, she didn't have the appetite or the face to eat.

The mother and daughter were full, but there was still a lot of soup left in the pot, Chen Xiuyun grabbed the sorghum noodles and boiled them, boiled them with vegetable soup, and put wild vegetables, which were used to feed the dogs and pigs.

Jiang Xinyu got Xiao Hei out of the pigsty, smelled the fragrance of food, and Xiao Hei instantly came to his senses.

Chen Xiuyun arranged for the two daughters to feed the pigs and dogs at home, and then go to collect firewood, dig wild vegetables, and carry water to fill the water tank, while Chen Xiuyun was going to go to the town's supply and marketing cooperative, she wanted to pull some cloth, and then get some cotton back, and by the way, see if she could get some pig pancreas at the food station.

The division of labor between mother and daughter is clear, and with the time when Zhang Fengmei stole the pig, the little black dog has not grown up yet, and the family always has to keep one person.

Jiang Yuzhu went out to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables, Jiang Xinyu brushed pots and dishes at home, fed pigs, dogs and rabbits, and when these jobs were done, the water in the pot was also hot, mixed with some hot water, Jiang Xinyu washed all the clothes. In the past, there was a fully automatic washing machine for laundry, and there were also working aunts at home, but now they have to do it themselves, and Jiang Xinyu's palms are dry.

When the work is over, he sits in the quilt to study, and Xiao Hei lies on the edge of the bed, sticky and obedient.

Chen Yi worked hard for almost a night and a morning, and it was not until more than twelve o'clock that he returned to the town with a fishy smell.

Not to mention, the fish is so easy to sell in the black market in the county, I can't wait to grab it. The people in the city have a salary, but unfortunately the bills are limited, and if you have money, you can't buy meat, and he has twice as many fish as in the food station, and he also collects some tickets in his hand.

When he returned to the town, he happened to run into Chen Xiuyun when he went to the food station to buy pork.

Chen Xiuyun asked for pig pancreas not very well, no one eats the pancreas, but it can be fed to livestock, and some people want it, and the pig killer didn't give her a good face at all, even if she said that she would give a penny.

Chen Xiuyun frowned, Chen Yi stepped forward to ask clearly, and said, "Auntie, I'll help you ask." ”

Chen Xiuyun shook her head, "Don't ask, that pig killer is not easy to deal with." ”

Chen Yi was very firm: "It's not me who got a dog for my aunt's family, and my aunt won't worry about feeding it, I am responsible for this matter." ”

Chen Xiuyun was a little weak-hearted, but she couldn't talk about soap, she couldn't persuade her, so she could only watch Chen Yi walk towards the back door of the food station.

After Chen Yi took out a cigarette and talked to the pig killer for a while, the pig killer said that if he killed the pig again tomorrow, he could leave two pairs of pig pancreas for him. No one eats this thing, and the pig killer can dispose of it himself.

Chen Yi, when he first joined the group, he also mixed in the dinner, although he didn't like the wine table culture, but he did not deny that there were many things that could be negotiated at the wine table. A pig slaughterer, if he wants to flatter, he can also flatter him to his heart, sometimes light a cigarette, say something good, smile and talk about it can do things, as long as he wants to do something, then there is nothing he can't do. Talk a little more, and the pig killer can call him a brother.

When Chen Yi came out of the food station, Chen Xiuyun saw that his hands were also empty, and he was also a little disappointed.

"Auntie, Uncle Zhang said, I'll leave you two pairs tomorrow, and today is indeed gone. I told him that you could come and get it tomorrow. ”

Chen Xiuyun thought that the pig killer was sending her, after all, the attitude of the pig killer just now was really not good, but she didn't expect Chen Yi to let the pig killer leave her two pairs, which was really a good skill.

Smelling the fishy smell on his body, Chen Xiuyun's mind moved, "Chen Yi, did you send fish to your aunt's house?" ”

Chen Yi's body stiffened, and he didn't know whether to admit it or not. He didn't even know that it was the fishy smell on his body that exposed him. He had been in contact with fish for more than ten hours, and he couldn't smell himself anymore.

At this time, he was afraid that if he confessed, Chen Xiuyun would send him back whatever he sent in the future.

At this moment, Chen Yi's unnatural face had betrayed him to Chen Xiuyun.

Chen Xiuyun's family has two daughters, and Chen Yi didn't hide his intentions last time, which made Chen Xiuyun feel wrong. She didn't want to sell her daughter for a few fish, her daughter's marriage is a matter of the future, what is the matter with Chen Yi's good calculation for her family now?

Chen Xiuyun thought that she would talk to Chen Yi about this problem on the way back to the village, but before she could speak, Chen Yi said, "Auntie doesn't have to have a burden in her heart." ”

He lowered his voice and said: "I caught a lot of fish yesterday, and I can't eat them at home, my mother can't handle them, and the fish doesn't cost money, but it took a little effort to catch it." ”

Then he said: "My aunt is now with her two daughters, and I remember that when I was a child, my mother took me, and it was not easy. I know that we are not related to each other, but I just want to help you, and I don't ask you to reciprocate, what I say is true, don't mind, auntie. ”

Chen Xiuyun heard him mention his mother and widow, and felt that this child was sensible. But I heard him say that he didn't ask for anything in return for helping them, and I felt that this kid could talk and do things, but if he was good to others, he didn't ask for anything in return and had no regrets after a short time, what about a long time?

People with the same surname pay and gain unequally, and they will be disobedient for a long time, what about this outsider, or an outsider who has intentions for her daughter, can't get what he wants, and she doesn't dare to think about the consequences.

Chen Yi has been busy for a long time, but he has a lot of pockets, he can also buy meat in the black market, but the asking price in the black market is high, and he has a meat ticket in his hand, so he simply went to the food station to buy it.

The two returned to the brigade, Chen Xiuyun returned home with the things he bought, cleaned up for a while, and went to Widow Wang's house with the bacon from yesterday.

After Chen Yi arrived home, the first time she saw him, the widow Wang said: "You are fishy, I will boil water for you, and you will take a bath and change your clothes." ”

Chen Yi was originally going to take a bath, but when he heard this, he raised his arm and smelled it, it was a little fishy, and he suddenly realized, no wonder Chen Xiuyun guessed that it was the fish he sent!
