Chapter 39 Selling Fish
Seeing this, Zhengshan hurriedly shouted: "Ma'am, you haven't paid me yet!"

Hearing what Zhengshan said, Mrs. Walnut looked at Walnut standing aside and said, "I don't have any cash to give Zhengshan Walnut right now. Your uncle came back from the field at noon and there is no food! I'll take the fish back to you first." Grandpa is cooking appetizers, is there any money? Didn’t you go to my house to carry food when I went back to my mother’s house a while ago? Just in time, you should pay for this fish. Let your uncle know that you bought it for her He must be very happy with the fish."

Walnut listened to what the aunt said, without any expression on her small face. Just when he and Zhengshan were about to enter the village, she saw her aunt and knew that if she sold fish, she would definitely get it for nothing. It was expected, so when she said this, Walnut was not surprised at all, but looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay! Go slowly, ma'am."

Zhengshan listened to Walnut's words, and glanced at her. Although he had a lot of opinions about Mrs. Walnut, but now was not the time to talk about it, so he hurriedly started selling with other women.

The women heard that Zheng Shan had sold the language so cheaply, for fear that he would regret it, the women hurriedly put their hands into the basket to pick up the big ones.

None of the women bought one, paid for it, and carried it home. Walnut and Zhengshan took the money, and walked into the village with a basket on their shoulders. The two discussed how to get the rest of the fish sold.

But at this moment, one of the women who had just bought fish, Mrs. Feng, took the fish to the door of a house and shouted at the people in the yard: "You are not at home, fool Yao, hurry up and buy fish! This fish is cheap."

Zhengshan and Walnut stopped when they heard Feng's yelling, and looked at Feng.

As soon as Feng's words fell, a woman came out of the house she called, and saw that this lady looked very much like a man, with a burly figure and a very sturdy appearance.He also speaks in a low voice.

Walking out of the yard, he looked at Feng who was calling her and said, "Who sells the fish, how cheap it is!"

Listening to her question, Feng raised the fish in his hand to her and said, "Look at such a big five cents a piece, how suitable it is!"

Listening to Feng Shi's words, Yao dazed glanced at the fish in her hand, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you buy it, I'll go buy a few more too."

Listening to her words, Feng looked at Zhengshan and Walnut with a smile and said, "They sell it, you should hurry up and buy it!"

Yao dazed walked towards Walnut and Zhengshan before Feng Shi finished speaking.Zhengshan looked at Yao dazed, put the fish basket on the ground and said, "If you want to buy it, you can choose it yourself, regardless of the size, it costs five cents a piece."

Yao was dumbfounded, and immediately picked up the fish in the basket after listening.At this time, the neighbors nearby also heard the movement, and they came out one after another, and they all came to the walnut and Zhengshan fish baskets and picked them up. After a while, there were not many fish left for the sale of more than 20 fish.

Seeing the villagers leaving after buying the fish, Zhengshan gave all the money from the fish sale to Walnut and said, "Take it back and buy a mat with grandma! My family doesn't need money."

Walnut listened to what he said, looked at him, smiled and said, "Half of the family is ready, if you don't need it, save it, it will be useful in the future."

After listening, Zhengshan said: "Then you can still pay for the mat?"

Walnut counted the copper plates and said, "It's enough."

After distributing the money from selling fish, Walnut looked at the fish in the basket and said, "There are four small fish here, let's divide them into two!"

After finishing talking, Walnut and Zhengshan separated and went back to their own homes. Just as Walnut led the fish into the house, he heard his mother's voice coming from the room, and she said, "This girl, Walnut, these years No one cares about her, she has become a wild girl, she ran out this morning, and she didn't even come back. Let's see how I deal with her when she comes back."

Hearing what her mother said, Walnut was about to retract her feet just after entering the yard, and wanted to go out, but was discovered by Da Zhuang Erzhuang and her two younger sisters playing in the yard, only to hear the two younger sisters rushing towards the house "Mother, Sister Walnut is back."

When the two sisters' voices fell to Walnut, he felt a chill run down his back.After glancing at the two nosy sisters, he walked into the yard.

In the room, the mother of Walnut hugged her son and was talking to the child's aunt, Xiaoya, about Walnut. Hearing the two girls shouting that Walnut came back, she immediately stood up from the edge of the kang, walked out of the Le Room with the child in her arms, and pulled Zhang Lian said: "You damn girl, you ran away after making troubles in the morning, and you don't know how to help with some work at home, are you looking for a beating?"

As he spoke, he walked up to Walnut with the child in his arms, stretched out a hand, and tapped Walnut's head a few times.

Walnut was rubbed by his mother's fingers and backed away, telling himself not to be angry, don't be angry, this is your mother.

Thinking about it, she raised her head and looked at her mother, with an aggrieved expression on her face, she said: "Mother, I am not lazy, I came back because of you, there is nothing delicious at home, I was afraid that you and your brother would not eat well, so I ran out to catch fish, thinking about getting some fish soup for you when I came back."

After finishing speaking, Walnut took out the two fish in his hand and handed them to his mother.

Walnut's mother looked at the fish she handed in front of her, her face softened a little and she said, "What are you doing standing here, why don't you hurry and cook in the kitchen, it's going to be noon soon Now, your grandma is planting grain in the garden! Your father should be back when he goes to the market."

Hearing what her mother said, Walnut hurriedly took the fish into the kitchen, and said in her heart, "It's a good thing I didn't reach out, or I really don't know what to do!"

The walnuts were ready for lunch, served on the table, arranged well, and filled the meals for everyone in the family, and then walked out of the house to call mother and grandma for dinner.

As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw San Niang walk in and open the door, with traces of crying on his face.

Walnut's mother and aunt were sitting in the yard coaxing the children to chat, watching Mrs. Yang's third wife and their third sister-in-law walk in, and Walnut's mother said: "Sister-in-law, why are you so idle? Why don't you come to my house?" thing!"

After listening to Mrs. Hetao's words, Yang's third daughter-in-law looked up at her and said, "Cuihua, you are back. I'm here to talk to my mother about something."

After hearing what she said, Walnut's mother looked at Yang's third daughter-in-law and asked, "What's the matter, you and the third child quarreled again, and he hit you again?"
