Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 53
The Lu family caught two buckets of long fish.

The news was like the wind, it blew past the wild wharf, and the women who had collected their nets outside hadn't returned yet, and the women who were mending their nets at home and watching their children heard the news first.

"Two barrels of long fish?"

real or fake?

Some people didn't believe it, but some people got up and stood on tiptoe to look in the direction where the child was running.

If it were two barrels of long fish, how much would it cost?

Originally, this matter would not cause such a big commotion.

Early in the morning, Lu Quan said that he would go to collect eel cages with Xiaosi, and Lu Xiaoli wanted to follow, but Qiu refused.

Because he didn't collect the eel baskets, Lu Xiaoli waited at the pier early in the morning.

When Lu Quan and Xiao Si came back with the buckets, Lu Xiaoli rushed over to look, slipped and fell, tripped Lu Quan staggeringly, the wooden bucket in his right hand was firmly on the ground, but the wooden bucket in his left shook , five long fish of different sizes jumped out of the bucket.

When Lu Xiaoli got into trouble, he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even have time to cry, so he and Lu Quan were busy catching long fish when they got up.

Long fish are very slippery, and it is not so easy to catch even on the shore.

When the father and son finally caught a long fish and sent them back to the bucket, Li Canguan, who was playing nearby, surrounded him with several children.

However, there were still two long fish that slid into the river channel along the weeds beside the embankment, and could never be found again.

"You said this..."

After finally sending away a group of people who came to see the long fish, Qiu's face changed, and he beat Lu Xiaoli as soon as he took off his shoes.

Lu Quan kept a cold face and said nothing. This girl is getting more and more shameless, and she really deserves to be beaten.

Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoyu were so frightened that they huddled together tremblingly, not daring to move, let alone persuade.

Lu Xiaoli got into too much trouble this time, and thinking of the long fish that slipped away, they all felt distressed.

That's a long fish, two to Lai Fushun will cost at least ten or twenty yuan.

Qiu took off his shoes, and slapped Lu Xiaoli several times, making Lu Xiaoli jump in pain, but he gritted his teeth and dared not make a sound.

It was indeed her fault in this matter, and it was not wrong for Mother to beat her.

"Mother, mother..."

Seeing that Qiu Shi was going to fight, Lu Yange rushed over and hugged Qiu Shi's arm: "Mother, Second Sister knows she's wrong, so stop beating."

Both Qiu Shi and Lu Quan have good tempers. There are almost no children from poor families who are not beaten. Only the Lu family has never seen the couple lose their temper with their children.

This time, Qiu Shi was really impatient.

Not to mention that the long fish ran away, so many people knew that his family had caught two barrels of long fish and came back, so they didn't need to ask, and they also knew that it was related to the eel cage that Xiaosi carried out yesterday.

Yesterday Xiao Si went to the eel cage without anyone behind his back, today when the two of them came back, Lu Quan was carrying the wooden bucket, and Xiao Si was slipping the eel cage, everyone saw it.

As long as you have the heart, that thing is not difficult, and you will learn it sooner or later.

"You said, did you say you should fight?"

The more Qiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She put down her shoes, wiped her face, and sobbed.

The family is poor, although Ding's family has money to start a business, but there must be a business, and they only get [-]%.This time, after finally finding a way to make money, this damn girl just let it out.

Lu Quan was also upset, but seeing Xiaoli being beaten made him feel a little bit reluctant.

Lu Yange pushed Lu Quan, and gave him a wink: "Father, go to Lai Fushun and sell the long fish. Uncle Li and the others will come back later."

The people who came to watch the fun on the boat just now were all women and children. If they don't sell them now, Lu Quan will not be able to leave when the men collecting fishing nets come back.

At that time, the two buckets full of long fish will be even more enticing.

Lu Quan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Xiaosi meant, he was honest after all, he picked up the barrel and turned to look at Lu Yange again: "Xiaosi, what about this loach?"

It is said that there are two barrels of long fish, but in fact there are loaches and some small miscellaneous fish in them.

"Keep the loach at home to eat, pick it out and raise it, spit out the mud, and you can eat it in two days."

Besides, if the loach stays, put some water in the wooden basin to raise it. If someone comes to see it, they may think that what the wife and children said is a bit exaggerated.

How can there be two barrels, isn't it, there are also loaches.

"Hey, then keep it."

Lu Quan simply obeyed Lu Yange's words.

Regardless of Lu Yange's identity, in Lu Quan's eyes, Lu Yange is no different from a prodigy from now on.

Lu Xiaoqing saw that Mrs. Qiu was still crying, Lu Xiaoli knelt straight and did not dare to move, so she lightly pulled Lu Xiaoyu, and the two girls slipped to the wooden basin, and began to help father pick up the long fish that had been poured out into the wooden bucket.

Lu Quan carried two buckets of long fish to the town, not daring to stop all the way, walking fast and anxiously.

Aunt Li, who was on the boat and wanted to talk to Lu Quan, called Lu Quan twice, but he didn't look back, just bowed his head and went to the town.

"Pooh."

Aunt Li spat into the water angrily: "Didn't I just catch a few long fish, their tails were up to the sky."

The woman next to her laughed awkwardly when she heard the words, are these some long fish?
That's two barrels, dozens of them, right?

Seeing that Lu Quan had left the cabin, Lu Yange rubbed against Qiu Shi again: "Mother, the eel basket needs to be washed and dried, otherwise it won't be usable at night, so my eldest sister and I will wash it?"

He said that she and the eldest sister were going to wash, but they didn't move their feet, waiting for Qiu Shi to speak.

"No, I'll go wash."

Qiu wiped his face, put down his apron, and didn't even look at Lu Xiaoli.

She is worried about the two children doing things, not because she is afraid that they will not do well.It is because the eel cages have to be dried after washing, and they can't be placed on the bow of the boat with big thorns. If the shameless and skinny ones come to the boat to take a look, won't his family's craftsmanship be learned.

Children don't understand, but she is very clear as an adult.

Lu Yange immediately took Qiu Shi's arm and smiled flatteringly: "I'll accompany my mother."

Before leaving the hatch, Lu Yange winked at Lu Xiaoqing: "Eldest sister, you and second sister don't forget to dig earthworms."

Earthworms are needed in the eel cage at night, otherwise the long fish would not foolishly burrow into it.

The two of them got out of the cabin, only the three sisters were left inside, and Lu Xiaowu was babbling in the cradle.

"Patta" a drop of tears fell on the board of the boat, followed by one drop after another.

Lu Xiaoli couldn't bear it anymore, slumped on the ground, hugging his knees and crying loudly.

"mother."

Seeing that Qiu was just brushing the eel pots and ignored her, Lu Yange simply took off his shoes, sat on the side of the boat, rolled up his trousers and prepared to play in the water.

"Who told you to play in the water, put it on."

Qiu raised her hand and patted Lu Yange's back, and gave her an annoyed look: "You are still young, you can't suffer from the cold."

"Ok."

Lu Yange determined to be a child who would not let Qiu Shi worry about it, so he got up obediently, put down his trousers and put on his shoes.

"This second girl... is getting more and more outrageous." Qiu Shi sighed: "Xiao Si, you..."

She wanted to say, don't bother with your second sister.

But as a mother, she really couldn't say this, Xiao Si was only as old as Xiao Li was.

How did she raise such an ignorant daughter.

Thinking about it, Qiu Shi felt uncomfortable and flustered.

Xiao Si is really wronged, what a good child, she used to live a life of luxury, suffered hardships in her house, but never said a word.

She has never seen such a good child, who is sensible and smart.
