80s small fortune bag

Chapter 25 Selling Fish
Wang Maosheng helped carry the fish into the car, and Jiang Yu also sat down against Jiang Niach. Wang Maosheng led the mule around the village, and picked up a few people who were going to the county, including Wei Dahua.

So Jiang Yu directly abandoned her father, who was leaning on the hard and still, and ran to the fragrant and soft arms of Wei Dahua.

"Are you going to the post office to collect money again?" asked a mother-in-law with a headscarf on her head.

Wei Dahua hugged Jiang Yu, smiling all over his face, "Well, by the way, send a letter to Junzi."

There are several villages around, and Sun Jun is the only one who joins the army. Every month, people send their salary and allowances to their families, and they all write their fucking names. Who wouldn't be envious?
So, it's better to have a son.

"Junzi is really filial and promising. Otherwise, why do you have sons? But my old daughter is also good. She gave birth to a big fat boy a year after she married into the city. I went to see it after a hundred days. She said that she didn’t have much milk,” she pointed to the two live chickens and a basket of eggs tied to the car, “send them to her to nourish her body, and don’t starve my grandson.”

Wei Dahua turned Jiang Yu on her lap again, told her to sit down, and said neither salty nor bland.

"Mother-in-law, that's not necessarily the case. Are there still few unfilial brats in our village? People have said that the times have changed, and boys and girls are the same. Even if you are a girl, you should be filial when you grow up. I will I only care about little girls." I only care about Jiang Yu who is so fair and well-behaved.

The old lady didn't think so, "Those words are just talking, do you really believe it? Men and women will never be the same. Men can pass on the family line, but women can do it?"

By the way, he glanced at the ginger fish in her arms.

She felt that Wei Dahua just stood and talked without pain in her back. She gave birth to a good son, which is why she is rare for a daughter. If there is no Sun Jun, can she not be anxious or miss her?

"Why can't it work? Dad, when Xiaoyu gets married in the future, let the child take my surname, won't he be able to carry on the family line? From now on, I will not only be filial to my father, but also my godmother and godfather!"

"Pfft, you are only so old that you are thinking about having a baby! You don't even know what marriage is!" Wei Dahua lightly pinched her little cheek teasingly, which was a rarity.

Jiang Yu cocked her head, "I know, just wear new red clothes!"

There was another laugh.

Wei Dahua is more familiar with the county town than Jiang Niqiu, "I go to the county town every month. There are more and more stalls selling things in the county town. I went back to the village and said they still don't believe it."

"Do you know that the steel factory belongs to the courtyard? You, move the fish over there, and it will be sold out early!"

Jiang Niqiu didn't know him, so Wei Dahua helped carry the things over and led the way by the way.

"I'll come back and sell fish for you when I'm done. When I see someone coming over, I'll yell at you how much it is per catty. Don't be shy, or people won't know what you do!"

Although she has never sold it, she has seen others sell it, and she knows this.

When the family was separated, Jiang Niqiu was assigned a small bench. He asked Jiang Yu to sit beside him and play, while he squatted down and put the borrowed scale on the ground.

It was the working hours of the steel factory, and there were not many young people wandering outside. After waiting for a long time, an old lady finally walked out of the family courtyard.

Ginger Loach licked his lips, and was about to yell, when Jiang Yu stood up, "Grandma, Grandma, does anyone in your family like to eat fish? Do you want to cook fish for lunch? Buy my fish, my dad yesterday It’s just caught, it’s so fat, it’s so fresh!”

The tips of the old lady's hair are all white, but some of the roots are black.

Although she was old, she was clean and looked very energetic, unlike those old ladies in the village who knew how to gossip after eating all day long.

She was holding a net bag in her hand, and she was thinking about what to buy later as she was walking, but she looked up when she heard Jiang Yu's voice.

Jiang Yu is still wearing the same clothes that Wei Dahua changed. Although the color is a bit old-fashioned, it is clean and the skin is fair and tender. She is not afraid to let her look at her generously. The only thing wrong is that she is too thin.

They look different from the little country girls who came to the county to sell vegetables in the past. They dress better and are fatter. I am afraid that people who say they are children from the city will believe it.

This old lady loves to be clean, and people say she has too many things to do when she usually buys vegetables.

Don’t want vegetables that don’t look good, don’t clean them up cleanly, don’t want muddy ones, don’t want vegetables that are too sloppy.

So she never buys from the country people who walk around the streets or set up stalls.

Even my wife said that she was just eating a dish, and the requirements were too high, so it was enough to buy it and wash it, as for picking a son-in-law.

Although there are patches on the clothes Jiang Niqiu wears, they can be cleaned up.

In the past, Chen Yinhua always disliked him for being sweaty after work, and for making the house dirty because of the dirt on his body, so Jiang Niqiu got into the habit of taking a bath and washing clothes every night.

"Ma'am, look at this fish, it's all alive and kicking. I caught too many fish in the river, and I couldn't finish it myself, so I sold some of them. It's cheap, eighty cents a catty." Jiang Niach said.

"My father and I ate three of them yesterday. They were delicious!" Jiang Yu twitched, if there were grilled fish here, it seemed that she could show the old lady how to eat fish on the spot.

"Then I'll take a look." The old lady thought the kid was fun, so she walked over.

The fish in the basin are indeed all fresh and alive. They all spit bubbles with their mouths open and close, tap the basin lightly, and even flick their tails to swim a few times when they are frightened.

"Okay, give me one, just this." Seeing that the fish is really good, and the water in it is clear, the old lady thinks that she can have a taste.

Jiang Nixiu sighed, "Stand a little farther away, I'm afraid that the fish will throw the water on you later, or your clothes will be dirty."

The smell of fish is really disturbing. The old lady felt that this man was very careful, so she stood back and said that the fish bought today was quite comfortable.

This fish weighs three catties and six taels, and ginger loach counts as two yuan and eight.

After buying the fish, the old lady went back to the family courtyard. After a while, several old ladies and old men who heard the news rushed to their small stall.

"I heard Director Liu's mother said that there is a fish seller at the door. The old lady who is so picky said yes, it must be good. Young man, how much is the fish for a catty? Eighty cents, I bought ninety cents a few days ago. It's not as fresh as this one, give me one!"

"I want one too, my old man loves fish!"

……

The old ladies bought the fish contentedly, and not long after they left with them, another batch came.

When Wei Dahua finished saving the money and mailing the letter, she saw that all the fish in the basin had been sold out.

Jiang Niqiu poured out the water and piled the basins together, "Thank you, Sister Wei, for pointing me to a good place. Sister Wei, I want to buy some things for home use, do you know where I can buy them?"
