Chapter 140 Sea Bass



She really doesn't have a ticket.

"Why are you causing trouble here without a ticket?" the salesperson rolled her eyes at Zhao Xiufen. "You need a ticket to buy this sea fish!"

Shen Qingli really didn't have any fish tickets, after all, sea fish were rarely seen in the supply and marketing cooperative.

There is no need to spend money to buy freshwater fish. There are plenty of them in the river of Xiaorongshu Village. It just depends on whether you have the ability to catch them.

Normally, everyone would catch some fish and take them home to eat, and the brigade would turn a blind eye. As long as the fish were not used for speculation and profit, they would not care.

I don’t have fish tickets but I still want to eat fish. It seems I can only buy fish tickets at a high price on the black market.

After all, sea fish are rare, it would be a pity to miss them!

Just as Shen Qingli was about to leave with her mother to try her luck in the black market, a cheerful voice rang out from behind her: "Sister Qingli!"

"Mo'er?" Shen Qingli turned and looked at Xia Mo'er, "Are you not busy now?"

When she first arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Qingli glanced at Xia Moli's counter and saw that she was busy measuring and cutting cloth for customers, so she didn't bother her.

Unexpectedly, the little girl actually saw her.

"It'll only be for a short while!" Xia Moer waved her hand and said, "Sister Qingli, do you want to buy some sea fish?"

"We really want to buy it, but we don't have fish tickets, so we have to give up!" Shen Qingli said with a sigh.

"I have it!" Xia Moer said quickly.

"You have? Really?" Shen Qingli asked in surprise.

"Uh..." Xia Moer scratched her head awkwardly.

Shen Qingli didn't take it seriously, thinking that the little girl must be eager to help her, but when she felt her pocket, she found nothing.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it. Actually, I don't really want to eat sea fish." Shen Qingli patted Xia Moli's shoulder soothingly.

"No, Sister Qingli." Xia Moer hurriedly whispered, "We have fish tickets every month. I lent mine to a colleague, but I'm sure my uncle still has them."

"Your uncle needs to use it himself!" Shen Qingli refused.

"My uncle doesn't like eating fish, so he saved up most of his fish tickets and gave them away to others." Xia Moer spoke tactfully, but Shen Qingli could tell that his uncle had actually sold most of his fish tickets!

After saying this, Xia Moer ran to her uncle's office.

After a while, Xia Moer ran back and said that her uncle wanted to see her.

It seems the fish ticket is still there.

Just as Shen Qingli thought, the fish ticket has not been sold yet. Together with the money saved last month, it can buy a total of 6 kilograms of sea fish.

Out of consideration for Xia Moer, the fish ticket was not sold to Shen Qingli at a high price.

But it’s not cheap either, just medium price!

After Shen Qingli came out of Xia Moli's uncle's office, she met up with her mother Zhao Xiufen to buy a four-jin sea bass and three yellow croakers weighing a total of two jin.

With fish, vegetables, pheasants and rabbits, this level of hospitality should be good enough!

After Shen Qingli and Zhao Xiufen bought some egg cakes, they said goodbye to Xia Moli and quickly left the supply and marketing cooperative.

It has to be fast!

The captain and the militiamen are still waiting outside!

It’s not good to make people wait too long.

As soon as Shen Qingli and Zhao Xiufen walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, they saw a mule cart parked nearby. The team leader and militiamen waved to them.

After the mother and daughter got on the mule cart, the cart began to move slowly, then the speed became faster and faster, and the mule began to run.

In less than half an hour, the group returned to Xiaorongshu Village.

When Shen Qingli and Zhao Xiufen returned home, it was dinner time.

Shen Qingxuan and Shen Qingyang made simple braised brown rice, stir-fried vegetables, and scrambled eggs with green peppers.

Now that their third house is living a better life, they naturally won’t treat themselves as badly as they did in the old house.

Although it is brown rice, it is mixed with white rice!

Rice, which I never dared to think about before.

When Shen Qingli and Zhao Xiufen walked in, the last dish, scrambled eggs with green peppers, had just come out of the pot.

The 98K was running around in the yard happily, causing damage everywhere.

The reason why Shen Mingan and his two sons, Shen Qingyu, Shen Qingxuan, and Shen Qingyang, were not in a hurry and were in the mood to cook was because Shen Qingli had already written a note for 98K to bring back.

Otherwise, I don’t know how anxious I would be!

"Mom, Xiaoli, you're back just in time. Let's eat now!" Shen Qingyang poked his head out of the kitchen and waved to Shen Qingli.

"Oh, I'm really good at keeping up with the pace!" Shen Qingli laughed as she carried the basket into the kitchen. "There's some really rare sea fish in here. We're in for a treat tomorrow. I finally managed to get the fish tickets to buy it!"

"I've never eaten sea fish before!" Shen Qingxuan said with a smile after pouring rice into the bowl.

Not only Shen Qingxuan, there are only a handful of people in the entire Xiaorongshu Village who have eaten sea fish.

This is mainly because this place is not near the sea, and if you want to buy it, you can only rely on fish tickets.

Where can a country bumpkin get a fishing ticket?

After the family happily finished dinner, Shen Qingyu called everyone together for a small family meeting!

"I have recovered all my memories!" Shen Qingyu announced a thunderous news.

Because Shen Qingyu was stupid for too long before, he had some memory loss before that.

But I didn't expect that everything has been restored now.

Does that mean he knows who the murderer is who hit him with a club?

"Who hit you?" Shen Mingan asked seriously.

"It's grandpa!" Shen Qingyu said with a serious face.

Shen Mingan fell silent after hearing this.

Unexpected, but not surprising.

Since he has been using the extradition talisman to plot against the three families for so many years, he must have started planning it a long time ago!

After Shen Qingyu calmed down, he began to slowly recount everything he had seen and heard.

"Chu Xiaoran?" Shen Qingli grasped a key point. "Brother, you said that great-grandfather and grandfather mentioned a name called Chu Xiaoran many times, right?"

"Yeah." Shen Qingyu nodded.

"The words that appeared with Chu Xiaoran include hospital, nurse, marriage, and child, right?" Shen Qingli continued to ask.

"That's right!" Shen Qingyu nodded again.

At this time, father Shen Mingan and second brother Shen Qingxuan also heard that something was wrong.

Who is this Chu Xiaoran?

Why did grandpa and great-grandfather mention her repeatedly?

There are also the words hospital and nurse.

Could this Chu Xiaoran be the person grandpa met in the hospital?

Is she a nurse?

But what does marriage and children mean?

Could it be that this nurse named Chu Xiaoran is already married and has children?

But what does this have to do with grandpa?

My grandfather had married my grandmother before he went to Shangdu to be an apprentice.

So...I probably can't marry grandpa.

But...it's not completely impossible.

At that time, the country had not yet been founded, and it was not uncommon for men to have three or four wives.

Could it be...
