"I'll take you to make money." Hu Lin took Yang Qing to the river, "Catch eels and loaches, or water snakes."
There are no fish in the river, so we can only catch these things.
Yang Qing was full of questions, "Catching these... to make money?"
Things that have nothing in common.
"Yes, come down quickly, what are you standing there for?" Hu Lin glared at Yang Qing.
"Oh." Yang Qing rolled up his trouser legs and followed Hu Lin down to the river. "If you had told me earlier that you wanted to catch these things, I would have asked Chen Zixiang and the others to come along."
"I caught them to sell. Do you think it's reliable to ask them to come over?"
Hu Lin stared at the clear lake surface, and felt his way through the silt with holes.
Chen Zixiang and his friends were Yang Qing's followers because they had played together when they were young.
But after that, they rarely saw each other, and she didn't know what he was like.
"They don't know why we captured them, so they won't doubt us if we make up a random excuse."
He was still clear about the character of those people.
He was just a small fry in front of Hu Lin, and he was at the mercy of them.
"Okay, then go and call them and ask them to go to the fields first to see if there are any of these things in the fields."
"Okay." Yang Qing responded, washed the mud off his calves on the shore, put on his shoes, and went to look for someone.
After working for most of the day, the harvest was pretty good. The two of them caught a small basket of eels and loaches.
At about the same time, several of Yang Qing's followers also came over carrying baskets on their backs.
They didn't harvest much, but together, it was almost half a basket.
Yang Qing said a few words to them, asked them to pour all the things into Hu Lin's backpack, and let them go back.
Hu Lin was washing the mud off his feet. Seeing the backs of Yang Qing's followers leaving, he joked, "They listen to you quite well."
"Well, I'm their boss." Yang Qing said, picking up the backpack that had been placed in the water and draining it.
Seeing Hu Lin take out a square towel from his pocket, wipe his feet and put on his shoes, Yang Qing put the backpack on his back and said, "I'll take you back."
Hu Lin didn't say anything. After climbing up the ladder, he turned around and stretched out his hand to Yang Qing. Yang Qing held Hu Lin's hand, used his strength to climb up the ladder, and the two of them went back one after the other.
The water under the backpack wet the clothes on Yang Qing's back, and the falling water dripped onto the ground and Yang Qing's trouser legs.
When he got home, Yang Qing poured the loaches and eels in the basket into a large wooden basin.
Li Aihua saw that Yang Qing's back was wet, and said quickly: "I'll go get a piece of your uncle's clothes, you change into it quickly.
Half of my body is wet, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold."
"No need, auntie. The weather is still a little hot now. By the time I get back, the clothes will be almost dry." Yang Qing refused.
"Come early tomorrow." Hu Lin interjected.
"Okay." Yang Qing agreed, and then looked at Li Aihua, "Aunt, I'm back."
After saying this, Yang Qing nodded to the Zhou family members who were serving the dishes, then went out and went back.
Li Aihua looked at the things in the wooden basin after seeing the people leave, "Girl, what are you doing with these things?"
"Sell it tomorrow?" Hu Lin explained and scooped a few scoops of water into the wooden basin.
Then I washed my hands and face and prepared to eat.
When the Zhou family heard this, they were all surprised and looked at the things running around in the wooden basin.
At the same time, I was secretly surprised.
The Hu family has been selling things all the time, and they all know it well as they live under the same roof.
No one pointed it out, and everyone pretended to be ignorant even though they knew the truth.
From what Hu Lin said, it seems that their family has now come clean about this matter.
After dinner, several people helped Hu Lin divide the loaches and eels into two wooden basins.
Zhou Huaimin and Zhou Huai'en were writing a letter to Zhou Huaijing on the table.
They would write a letter to Zhou Huaijing every ten days, telling him about their recent daily lives.
Zhou Huaijing also sent packages frequently, once a month.
They are all seafood specialties, toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels and other consumables that are hard to buy here.
The Zhou family probably told the two children about the Hu family's speculation.
Hu Lin leaned over to read their letters several times, but seeing that they were all about insignificant trivialities in life, he stopped reading.
They were probably afraid that the correspondence would be checked, after all, the Zhou family's situation was so special.
Yang Qing came early in the morning, just in time after breakfast.
Hu Lin and Yang Qing put loaches and eels in wooden barrels and then put them into backpacks.
The small backpack couldn't fit in, and the big backpack was too big, so they had to make do with leaving half of the wooden barrel sticking out.
But at least this way your clothes won't get wet again.
This thing is indeed more troublesome than prey and cannot leave water.
The two rode their bicycles to the county town.
