Back to 80s, pretend to be in debt and get out of the misery

At this moment, Mu Chenze also heard about Li Qin.

She didn't expect that what Sheng Shengmei said was true. She thought she deliberately tricked Ji Ping into going to her house in order to get money.

For Ji Ping's sake, Mu Chenze planned to go over and help. After all, manpower was needed to prepare for the funeral.

On the way there, I happened to meet Chu Xuan.

Seeing Chu Xuan carrying a basket on her back, he guessed that she was going to catch the sea, "The wind will blow up soon, so go and come back early. I have other things to do and can't go there."

"Okay. Are you going to Shanda Meijia?"

After all, with the relationship between Mu Chenze and Ji Ping, it is impossible for Mu Chenze to just sit back and watch whatever Ji Ping wants to do.

The bereavement management team in the village is not fixed and usually helps whoever is free.

Ji Ping and Mu Chenze will definitely join Li Qin's funeral group.

Mu Chenze did not hide anything, "I went over to help. I saw Li Qin digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain this morning. Who would have thought that in less than half a day, he would be gone."

Chu Xuan suddenly said, "I heard people in the village talking about it being an accident. Is it really an accident?"

"Who knows. Let's go!"

Mu Chenze walked towards Shangsheng Meijia.

Chu Xuan went around the mountain road to the secret place to catch the sea.

When he got there, Chu Xuan was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The sea breeze is strong.

The beach is full of small clams, a few starfish, small crabs and the like, with almost no place to stay.

This thing can't be sold at a high price here.

Use your feet to sweep the clams aside, clearing a path to the tide pool.

After walking to the tide pool, I was a little disappointed.

There are no big ones, just small clams in the dozen or so tide pools.

Is it possible that I have to pick up a basket of small clams and take them home today?
Heavy and worthless.

But there are no other goodies today.

Pick up a basket and go back to give it to your little brother.

As for the food that cannot be eaten, if the weather is good, it can be dried in the sun, but she knows that there will be typhoons and rainy days in the future, so she can only dry it in the oven for easy storage.

Resigned to his fate, he squatted down with a small shovel and poured the small clams into the basket on his back, regardless of whether there was any sediment or not.

This is fast.

After picking up most of the basket, Chu Xuan put it on his back and went to a place with clean sea water to take a dip.

There are holes in the backpack, and the sea water washes away the sediment on the little clams.

At this moment, a wave hit him. Chu Xuan couldn't stand firmly and fell on the beach, soaking wet.

"It's just not good to catch the shipping today. Are you still so unlucky?"

Get up quickly and prepare to go ashore and go home.

Another big wave comes.

Chu Xuan was prepared this time and stood firm.

Really cold!

I feel like today is different from the past, so I don’t stop any longer and speed up my pace to go back.

Before he had taken a few steps, another big wave hit him, carrying a black thing whizzing past Chu Xuan's head.

There was a pop sound, and a three-meter-long big fish landed not far away.

Chu Xuan wiped the seawater off his face and took a closer look. He saw it was a large hairtail fish, weighing at least a hundred kilograms. It was definitely the king of hairtail fish.

Even if another big wave hit, it couldn't dampen Chu Xuan's good mood.

It was worth it today.

Her strength was limited, so she had to dump most of the small clams and drag the hairtail to the shore.

In fact, she wanted to stay for a while to see if the strong winds and waves would bring more large goods, but considering the weather problem, she decided to leave.

The wind and waves at this time were very big, and if someone was not careful and got caught in it, his life would be at stake.

When she reached the shore, she put the hairtail into her basket.

Go around the mountain road to the pier.

Clothes are stuck to the body, making it easy for people to gossip.

As she neared the pier, she placed her backpack in front of her for cover.When we arrived at the pier, we went straight to Li Tong's stall.

The moment Li Tong saw the Hairtail King, his eyes lit up, "Chu Xuan, you are the luckiest seafarer I have ever seen."

Helping Chu Xuan unload the King Hairtail, with the basket still on Chu Xuan, he continued, "Tell me how you caught it."

Chu Xuan responded cheerfully, "I originally picked up most of the clams in the basket and planned to wash them with sea water, but the wind and waves were very strong, and they hit me one after another. When I fled in embarrassment, the hairtail king was hit by the wind and waves on the beach... "

Now Li Tong was even more envious of Chu Xuan's luck.

People on the pier came over to see the King Hairtail.

The hairtail king weighs 120 nine jins and seven taels, which is calculated as 130 jins and costs 3 yuan per catty.

Chu Xuan took 390 yuan and left the dock without stopping too much.

The pockets on his body were still wet, and the money was temporarily in his hand.

There are denominations of ten yuan and five yuan, a thick roll.

After returning home, I immediately gave the money to my younger brother and told him about selling the King Hairtail Fish.

The younger brother did not count the money in a hurry, but helped her carry hot water into the bedroom.

Before she came back, the younger brother had boiled hot water and cleaned the bathtub in advance.

This considerate behavior made Chu Xuan immediately forget about the unpleasantness between himself and his younger brother.

People should look forward. There will always be times when a family will quarrel and get angry. The past is over.

However, when the younger brother got the money, he didn't cheer as usual. Could it be that he had something on his mind?

Half an hour later, Chu Xuan finished taking a shower, put on clean clothes, and was about to pour water when her younger brother came over to help.

Pour out the water, Chu Xuan wants to wash clothes.

The younger brother grabbed it and said, "Sister, I'll wash it."

Chu Xuan looked him up and down, "Why do you care about me more than usual today? There isn't much of a smile on your face. What's going on?"

"Because I feel guilty and want to say sorry to you! I didn't even formally apologize to you this morning. I think things are not comprehensive enough and I will definitely change it in the future."

Chu Feng lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Xuan.

"So that's why!" Chu Xuan took a long breath, "Actually, it's not entirely your fault. It's because I didn't tell you about our mother's situation in time. I forgive you. At the same time, I also want to say I'm sorry. , shouldn’t try to hide it from you.”

Chu Feng raised his head, with tears in his eyes, "Sister, I don't blame you. I know you are doing it for my own good."

The siblings started talking, all the barriers disappeared, and they returned to their previous relationship.

"Sister, let's eat dumplings tonight?"

"No problem. What kind of stuffing do you want to eat?"

"Lotus root stuffing, right?"

"Okay. I'll wash the clothes and you go make the dough."

"Okay."

Chu Feng happily went to the kitchen to make noodles.

After Chu Xuan finished washing his clothes, it started to rain and the wind picked up.

She directly pulled a clothesline in the kitchen. For the next ten days, the clothes could only be dried by drying.

After drying the clothes, she prepared dumpling fillings.

More than an hour later, when it got dark, they finished making dumplings and waited for the water to boil.

There was a knock on the door.

Chu Feng held an umbrella and went to open the door.

"Brother Chenze, come in quickly."

Mu Chenze was wearing a raincoat, only his trousers and shoes were soaked, and he went into the kitchen to warm himself by the fire.

Chu Xuan speculated that Mu Chenze had something important to say, "Xiao Feng, you go back to the bedroom and count out 160 yuan to share the dividends, and keep accounts at the same time."

Send me away so you can have a few words alone.

Chu Feng had no doubt that he was there, "Okay, go right away."

Mu Chenze looked surprised, "What good stuff did you pick up today?"

"I didn't pick it up, it was given to me by the wind and waves. A king hairtail weighing 130 kilograms!"

"How much is a pound?"

By this time, Chu Feng had returned to the house, and Chu Xuan answered the question, "You came to see me at this time. Did you find out anything about Li Qin's death?"
