Chapter 169
"I'll pick some small crucian carp and make soup for you!"
Looking at Song Jingzhou's bright smile, Su Qingci felt a complicated emotion in her heart.
Seeing Su Qingci staring at him in a daze, Song Jingzhou reached out and pulled her braid.
"What's the matter? Are you moved by me?"
"Don't worry, I'm very strong."
Song Jingzhou handed the kettle back as he spoke, supported himself on both sides of the well mouth with his hands, and jumped up with a bounce.
"I'm going to go back and change my clothes first. The captain will weigh the fish and divide them up later."
After taking just two steps, Song Jingzhou felt a cold gaze piercing him.
He paused and slowly turned his head behind him.
Chen Chuntao stared at him expressionlessly, her eyes as cold as a dagger.
Su Qingci followed Song Jingzhou's gaze.
"Sister Chuntao~"
The coldness in Chen Chuntao's eyes disappeared instantly, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with stars as she looked at Su Qingci with a smile.
Song Jingzhou instantly felt a strong hostility from the bottom of his heart.
He knew that Chen Chuntao was no ordinary person. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to have sensed murderous intent just now.
"Qingci, are you really dating that Song family kid?"
"Um."
"You have to think carefully and not be careless. You are so outstanding, there is no need to rush to find someone."
"Besides, do you understand his family situation, personality, and character?"
Seeing the smile on Su Qingci's face fade, Shen Chuntao hurriedly explained.
"I am worried about you too. Just look at me and you will know."
"Many of the concepts, habits and ideas of the men in this country are different from ours."
"Few of us educated youth who married in the countryside lived happily."
"You're still so young, maybe you can return to the city in the future?"
"If you marry in the countryside and the educated youth can return to the city, what will you do? Besides, you are still young and may not understand what love is. What if you meet someone you really like in the future?"
"You're so outstanding, but you don't want to have a future anymore? Are you willing to stay in Taohua Town forever?"
"Have you ever thought about your family? The emperor is far away. If you really stay here, it will be difficult to see your relatives in the future."
Su Qingci looked at Chen Chuntao's face full of concern and her anxious voice, and knew that the other party was doing it for her own good.
"Sister Chuntao, I know you care about me."
"But I know what I'm doing."
"Song Jingzhou is different from other men. He also has a high school education. We have common topics and hobbies, and he also cares about and respects me."
"Most importantly, I like him."
Chen Chuntao looked at Su Qingci with a serious face, not knowing how to persuade her, and was afraid that she would be unhappy if she said too much.
"Qingci, then, before you get married, you must not let anyone take advantage of you."
Chen Chuntao seemed to be unable to speak, "That's it, that's it, what."
"You can't sleep with him, right?"
Chen Chuntao widened her eyes, then reacted and quickly looked around to see if there was anyone around.
Seeing that no one noticed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, don't be silly, you must know how to protect yourself."
Su Qingci was speechless.
She did think so, but unfortunately Song Jingzhou knew how to protect himself.
She couldn't even get close to it.
Trying to get into bed because of the thunder didn't work, and trying to get him into bed because of the alcohol also didn't work.
"Qing porcelain?"
Seeing that Chen Chuntao was still waiting for her reply, Su Qingci could only say helplessly.
"Okay, I get it. I understand everything you said."
Seeing the other party nod, Chen Chuntao breathed a sigh of relief.
A complicated look flashed in her eyes. Song Jingzhou, right?
He is not worthy of such fine Qing porcelain.
"Let's go and see how the fish are divided."
Su Qingci pulled the worried Chen Chuntao toward the lawn beside the pond.
So there are a total of sixteen members going down to fish today.
Some unmarried men are not allowed to have children by their elders in the family because they are afraid that it will affect their health.
Some older, weak and lazy people would not risk seeing a doctor and taking medicine just for a fish, so not many people go down there.
Liu Dazhu asked someone to select 16 larger fish from the fishing team and put them aside. This was a benefit for the fishing club members.
All the other fish were weighed, and the total weight was nearly 865 kilograms. There were still half a basket of small fish that had not been weighed, which would be used to add to the weight when the fish were divided later.
When the village bought fish fry in the spring, the accountant collected the money for 36 shares. On average, one share of this year's batch of fish can get about 24 kilograms.
This is a rare bumper harvest.
Not to mention the members, even the team leader and the branch secretary were so happy that they kept rubbing their hands and their faces were flushed.
After the total weight was measured, the fish were sorted.
Three scales were used at the same time on site, with two people carrying the scales, one adding fish, and one watching the scales.
"I weighed 21.7 pounds and picked two small ones."
"That's enough, that's enough."
After weighing 24 kilograms, pour it out and continue with the next one. I almost weighed it, so I picked up a few small fish from the basket and threw them in to add to the scale to ensure that the scale head of each bag was high.
Song Jingzhou quickly changed his clothes and came over. He took a sack and squatted beside the pile of fish to pick up the fish.
Compared with grass carp, silver carp and carp, crucian carp is much smaller in size.
Many members of the team were watching him, fearing that he would take advantage of the opportunity. But when they saw that most of the fish he picked up were medium-sized, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this Song kid stupid?"
"When he goes fishing, he can give priority to choosing fish. Why does he only pick the ones with more bones and less meat?"
"Why don't you worry about him? Maybe he likes the soup. Crucian carp soup is sweet and milky white. Haven't you seen that women in confinement love to buy it to eat?"
"He doesn't like to eat big fish, but we do!"
"I have a job in town now and get paid every month. How could I care about this little bit of fish?"
"You don't understand. Eating meat in town is not as convenient as it is in the countryside."
“You need a ticket for everything.”
"Our brigade still has fish distribution at the end of the year. If people in town want to buy fish for the New Year, they have to rely on luck. If they are lucky, they can buy it."
"You're out of luck. Even if you have money, you can't buy anything."
Su Qingci looked at Song Jingzhou who was picking up crucian carp and hurried over to him.
"Why are you picking up so many crucian carp? Unless you can feed them, I don't like it if they've been dead for a few days and you take them out to make soup."
Song Jingzhou looked up and raised his eyebrows in confusion.
Su Qingci pointed at the pile of fish and said, "I want a big golden carp and a big silver carp."
"You can also get a big fish. I think I can get some too from the educated youth camp. We can deep-fry it when we get home. It will keep for a long time and can be used to make cured fish."
Su Qingci looked at the basket used to weigh the fish and said, "I want some of the small fish and eels in that basket too."
At this time, everyone likes big fish, which have more meat and fewer bones. Small fish have less meat and more bones and consume more oil, so not many people like them.
The two men talked to Liu Dazhui, and Liu Dazhui waved his hand and gave them a winnowing basket.
He now dared not treat the two of them as ordinary members.
Last time, several teams downstream came to him for a minute to ask for water, but the other teams were very polite to him.
He also knew that people were doing this for the sake of Su Qingci and Song Jingzhou.
Besides, his own son is still working under someone else.
