The passionate years starting from the college entrance examination

Chapter 8, four dollars and four cents
When Chen Guohua returned home carrying the big herring.

The three sisters have already prepared lunch. The fish soup is not very white, but it looks quite tempting.

"Brother, you are back, and you have brought back the big herring. That's great."

"Brother, you didn't fight, did you?"

Seeing their eldest brother back, the three sisters Chen Xiaoyue were very happy.

People came around him and cared about his health.

After briefly explaining the situation to his sisters with a smile, Chen Guohua invited the three of them to eat first.

After dinner, we went to the Yongding River to sell fish. We also took home the rooster and pork we ordered yesterday.

This fish soup was indeed very good, and the four brothers and sisters ate it with gusto.

At noon that day, the news that Chen Guohua caught a big fish and that Er Mazi and Chen Guobing grabbed the fish soon spread throughout Majiafen and several nearby villages.

There is no joy in winter when everything is lonely.

As a result, so much new news came out in just one morning?
The Yongding River is particularly lively in the afternoon.

Almost everyone from the nearby villages came out.

No one has a cat in the winter, because Chen Guohua can catch more than ten kilograms of big herring, why can't he catch it himself?

"Can you really catch fish by digging a hole?"

Goudan said doubtfully on the ice of the river.

Er Mazi on the side quickly repeated what he had said several times:
"You can really catch fish. I saw it with my own eyes this morning. That old dog Chen really caught fish with his bare hands."

"When did Chen Guohua become so powerful?"

Thinking of the scene when he passed by Chen Guohua's house just now and saw the four brothers and sisters eating delicious fish, Goudan couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.

Don't care whether what Er Mazi said is right or not, just do it and that's it.

Chen Guohua and his family have already eaten fish.

However, the fish in the Yongding River are not stupid. How can they be so easy to catch?
While Goudan, Ermazi and others were studying catching fish carefully.

After dinner, Chen Guohua had already taken three oil bottles to the upper reaches of the Yongding River.

The hole that had been drilled was frozen again.

Despite this, they still managed to catch about fifteen or six kilograms.

It's a pity that there are no big fish.

After harvesting the catch, the four brothers and sisters returned home, sorted out the previous catch, put it in a dustpan, and carried it to the supply and marketing cooperative.

There is no scale at home, so Chen Guohua can only roughly estimate that the catch should be about thirty or forty pounds.

After all, a big herring weighs more than ten kilograms, accounting for almost half of the weight.

"Selling fish!"

Walking on the country road, Chen Xiaomin smiled happily.

Even though the temperature was minus ten degrees Celsius today, she couldn't suppress her excitement.

The two sisters Xiaoyue and Xiaomei were also very happy. They followed their eldest brother and skipped towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

When passing by some villagers' houses, some children came over to watch the fun.

But he was quickly called back by the adults.

The villagers had all heard about what happened in the morning and sympathized with what happened to the four brothers and sisters of Chen Guohua.

But after all, Chen Guohua is only a high school student. He is too young and may not consider the consequences of his actions and be unstable.

Therefore, it is better not to get too close to Chen Guohua and his four siblings.

However, several villagers approached Chen Guohua and his four siblings.

Followed all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, while walking, while asking about work.

Near noon, Chen Guohua announced that he would sever ties with his second uncle's family and would no longer have any contact with them.

This means that it is no longer possible for Chen Guobing to get Lao Chen's job.

In this case, other villagers in Majiafen may get involved in Lao Chen's work.

As a high school student, Chen Guohua was unlikely to be so stupid as to just seal up his job.

After all, he himself will take the college entrance examination next July.

Regardless of whether he passed the exam or not, Chen Guohua's own work problems were easily solved.

On the contrary, it is Chen Xiaoyue, who is only 13 years old this year.

When she turns 16 and starts working, it will be three years later.If their jobs are sealed for three years, then the lives of the four brothers and sisters will definitely be relatively difficult during these three years.

At the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Chen Guohua kept smiling and did not let go.

He already knows who the job will be given to.

These people in front of him are not his targets at all.

Therefore, no matter how these people flatter and please the four brothers and sisters, it is useless!

"Uncle Qian, we are here to sell fish. By the way, we can pick up the rooster and pork we ordered yesterday."

Qian Dongsheng had already seen Chen Guohua and the others from a distance.

At this time, he squatted down with a smile and looked at the fish in the dustpan.

"Hey, I heard from everyone at noon that you four brothers and sisters caught a lot of fish, I'm afraid it's thirty or forty pounds, right?"

"You are very powerful, Guohua. He has a smart mind and flexible hands and feet. Yes, he is much better than that brat of mine."

Qian Dongsheng praised a few words, then turned around and took out a scale.

Chen Guohua has not seen such a steelyard for a long time.

The thing I used most in my previous life was the electronic scale.

Because after getting married, my weight skyrocketed, and I had to weigh myself every day before and after meals, and before and after exercise.

But the weight is still going up.

It was not until later, after participating in lures, marathons and other activities, that my weight began to slowly drop and remained at a certain level.

The catch was not very large, but Chen Guohua and Qian Dongsheng still carried it together.

In this case, weighing will be more convenient.

The three Chen Xiaoyue sisters all stared with wide eyes, especially Chen Xiaomin, who has short legs.

Leaning against her second sister, she stood on tiptoes and tried hard to look at the scale.

Unfortunately, she was too short to see.

The weight of the catch was quickly displayed on the steel scale.

The total weight is 37 pounds.

The current purchase price for fish is only one cent or two cents.

The price is very low, but for the four brothers and sisters Chen Guohua, this is already a surprise.

"If it weighs 37 pounds, I should give it to you."

Qian Dongsheng was still calculating how much money, but Chen Guohua already smiled and said:

"Uncle Qian, the total is four dollars and four cents."

"Really?" Qian Dongsheng looked at Chen Guohua in surprise, and several other villagers also looked surprised.

But soon, Qian Dongsheng calculated the price himself.

According to the purchase price of 37 cents, the total catch of [-] kilograms is [-] cents.

"Hey, you are indeed a high school student. Your computing skills are too strong, right?"

At this moment, Qian Dongsheng looked at Chen Guohua, even more surprised.

The latter smiled modestly, and then helped put the fish in the dustpan into the fishing net pocket.

And Chen Xiaoyue's three little ones were already jumping up and down with joy.

It's just a day's harvest for them, but they actually have an income of four yuan and fourty-four cents?

At this time, they were very excited.

They were even happier when Qian Dongsheng handed the money to their eldest brother.

"Thank you, Uncle Qian."

Chen Guohua took the money with a smile and heard the other party say with a smile:
"Count it again. Don't wait to tell me that there is less money."

"I know Uncle Qian, the number is correct, yes."

He immediately counted them and did not feel shy about the other party's words or flatter the other party.

Money really needs to be counted clearly in person.

Then, Qian Dongsheng handed him the rooster and pork again. After he thanked them, he took his three sisters home.
