Chapter 858 I Only Admire Zhang Juexia
Zhang Dequan was overjoyed after hearing what Zhang Juexia said. "Juexia girl, I didn't want to trouble you, but I didn't expect you to be so righteous. You are truly worthy of being a girl from the Zhang family!"
Zhang Juexia smiled and said, "Uncle, there's no need for us to flatter each other like this!
I want to hear what my uncle thinks."
After hearing Zhang Juexia's words that got straight to the point, Zhang Dequan immediately sat up straight and cleared his throat, "Juexia, I just had this idea after following Eryong and reading these things on Zhuangzi.
I thought that Dahe Village is right next to the river and there is no shortage of water all year round, so raising fish would be the most reliable option.
As for the fish thing, I know it without Eryong telling me.
On weekdays, ordinary people just eat it to satisfy their hunger. If they really want to satisfy their cravings, it is better to spend a few more cents and buy a piece of pork.
But I can't think of any better solution at the moment, so, Juexia, if the village really decides to raise fish, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to help us exchange it for silver."
Zhang Dequan looked at Zhang Juexia with anticipation. Zhang Juexia did not reply to Zhang Dequan in time, but fell into deep thought.
Zhang Dequan did not rush Zhang Juexia, but gave her time to think.
Zhang Juexia turned to look at Qin Eryong, "Eryong, what did Beilin say when you went to deliver the fish?"
"I haven't said anything recently."
"How's the fish restaurant doing?"
"It's fine! I heard from Xiaoli that although the fish restaurant's business isn't as good as the hot pot shop, it's still good compared to the restaurant next door."
Zhang Juexia waved his hand, stopping Qin Eryong from continuing, "Uncle, if you really want to raise fish, then go ahead!
After all, I married out of Dahe Village, and I also want the people in the village to live a good life.
However, once the fish is well-raised, I can only let you exchange it for silver, but I'm afraid I can't accept the task you've offered me."
Zhang Dequan slapped his thigh with joy and said, "As long as you promise to turn the fish raised in our village into silver, you don't have to worry about anything else.
Eryong is already very skilled at cooking, so I'll do the same as he does. As long as you need fish, I can guarantee that I'll deliver fresh fish to you."
With Zhang Dequan's assurance, Zhang Juexia felt relieved. "Uncle, you can stay in the manor for a few more days and learn from Eryong."
"Can I stay here?"
"sure."
"Then can I call other people in the village to come and learn from me?"
"That's fine!"
Zhang Dequan looked at Zhang Juexia with tears in his eyes, "It is true that the disciple is better than the master!
Juexia, your mother was a generous person back then.
You are better than me!"
Wang Yuying also wiped her tears happily, "If Li Niang were still alive, it would be even better.
I remember that Li Niang was planning to teach the villagers how to embroider, but Zhang Defu objected so strongly that the plan was dropped.
But your mother has one good thing, that is, no matter who it is, as long as they ask her for advice on embroidery skills, she will not hide anything. As long as she knows it, she will tell others.
Zhang Defu had a lot of arguments with Li Niang because of this; otherwise, Li Niang wouldn't have left so early."
Zhang Dequan also sighed.
When Zhang Erzhuang learned that Zhang Juexia wanted to help the people of Dahe Village, he admired the sister in front of him even more.
Seeing his mother mentioning Zhang Juexia's mother at this time, he complained to Wang Yuying, "Mom, don't mention the past.
Sister Juexia is living such a good life, Aunt Li Niang must know about it in the afterlife."
"Yes, yes! I got carried away and started talking nonsense.
Juexia, don't blame your aunt!"
Zhang Juexia shook her head and said, "Aunt, I don't blame you. In fact, I really want to hear some things about my mother.
I was still young then, and I can’t remember some things.”
Zhang Dequan spoke up, "It's not easy to listen to. Anyway, I don't plan to go back to Dahe Village recently, so let your aunt come with me and stay at the village for a few more days.
When the time comes, let your aunt tell you what you want to hear."
“That’s really great.
Wang Yuying thought for a moment and said, "Master, why don't I go back first? I'm afraid Dazhuang's family needs someone."
"Da Zhuang is very capable, don't underestimate her.
Don't feel uncomfortable living here with Jue Xia, just treat it as if you were living at your own daughter's house."
"Yes, my uncle is right, auntie, just treat me as your own daughter.
Don't be uncomfortable, just tell me if you need anything."
Wang Yuying glanced at Zhang Juexia and said, "I have always treated Juexia as my own daughter.
But I'm worried that if we live here, it might cause trouble for Jue Xia."
"No trouble, no trouble."
Zhang Dequan glared at Wang Yuying, "What a big deal!
Living in your niece's house is the same as living in your daughter's house.
I'm planning to bring more people tomorrow!
Juexia, is it possible?"
"sure!"
"You heard me, don't be embarrassed. These few days, just help Jue Xia cook and look after the children. Just treat it as if you were visiting your own daughter's home."
After instructing Wang Yuying, Zhang Dequan continued to say to Zhang Juexia, "Girl, I will write a letter now. When Erzhuang returns to the city this afternoon, I will ask him to deliver the letter.
After receiving the letter, those people will be able to come to the village at the latest the day after tomorrow.
When the time comes, I will let them follow the people in the village and learn from them.
Then, I will discuss with my capable people what else we can do besides raising fish."
"Uncle, you can discuss it with Eryong when the time comes.
Eryong is smart. If you have any problems, ask for his advice.
I will support you unconditionally!"
After hearing what Zhang Juexia said, Zhang Dequan not only drank two more glasses of wine, but also ate two large bowls of rice.
Wang Yuying said to Zhang Juexia, "Your uncle laughed more today than he usually does in ten days or half a month.
He is really happy today.”
Zhang Dequan, still holding his wine glass, insisted on clinking glasses with Zhang Juexia, "Girl, I've been a village head for many years, and I've never been subservient to anyone.
But I am not like this now. I have changed. I only obey you.
Good girl, well done, uncle is happy for you."
Zhang Erzhuang disliked Zhang Dequan's nagging and pulled him to sit down, "Dad, stop nagging. There are so many people who respect my sister, you are not the only one.
Besides, you are only doing this for my sister’s sake, helping you sell fish.”
"How can you talk like that, you little brat?
Your sister and I are both people who do great things, don’t you understand?
Our family was living well, but other families in the village were not doing so well. Whenever I thought about them, I couldn't sleep or eat well.
What your sister and I are doing now is a good thing."
