"Business?"
The old man had a puzzled expression on his face.
"With your fishing skills, you should be able to catch more fish, right?"
Chen Wang asked again.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course, I can. I have always managed to catch enough fish for myself. Do you want to sell these fish?"
“Yes, you can actually do this yourself.”
Chen Wang said with a smile.
“No, no…”
The old man waved his hand and said, "I've thought about this before, but the fish can't be sold at a good price in the village. It takes at least an hour to walk to the town, and if I carry dozens of kilograms of fish, my old bones can't bear it."
"Then you should cooperate with me. I often go to town to sell the game I hunt. But the weather has been cold recently, and there are fewer and fewer game in the mountains. If you agree, I will have another way to make money."
Chen Wang smiled and said.
"this……"
The old man was obviously moved, but still a little hesitant.
"And with the money from the sale, I can bring you some daily necessities on the way to town. You don't have to eat fish and coarse grains all the time during the winter. It's a win-win situation for both you and me."
"What's the price?"
"As for the price, I often go to the market in town. There are people selling fish there, and the average price is no more than one yuan. I will buy the fish from you at 0.6 yuan per pound, regardless of the size. What do you think?"
"No, no."
The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
"Too low? Then..."
"No, it's too high. Just 50 cents. No matter what price you sell it at, I'll sell you fish at 50 cents a pound. I'm an old man now, I can't take advantage of a young man like you."
"No, I can make money with 60 cents."
Chen Wang said with a smile.
The old man shook his head and said firmly: "No need to say more, it's just fifty cents. It doesn't matter how much money I make. It's enough to support myself."
"Okay, then let's do as you say."
Chen Wang nodded and agreed.
"Come and have some tea."
The old man waved his hand with a slight smile on his face.
It can be seen that he is also very happy to be able to cooperate with Chen Wang on this matter.
When people reach old age, they are afraid of becoming a burden to their children and grandchildren. This is why he is unwilling to follow his children to other places and would rather live alone in his hometown.
No matter how difficult his life was, he would only report good news to his son and daughter, not bad news.
Now that I have a way to make money, it is certainly something to be happy about.
After drinking a few cups of tea with the old man, Chen Wang prepared to go back.
"Old man, can I call you that from now on?"
"Can."
"Then I will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow, and come over the day after tomorrow morning to collect your fish. I will also go to town, and you can think of anything you want to buy and make a list."
"good!"
"Okay, I'll go back first then."
Chen Wang smiled and stood up to say goodbye.
“These things…”
"Master, we are partners now. You can't ask me to take back this gift I gave you, right?"
Chen Wang interrupted the old man directly.
Old Man Lu opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Right, this wild boar leg is smoked. Try frying it with chili peppers. It's absolutely delicious."
Chen Wang grinned and took out the two packs of Daqianmen from his bag and placed them on the table.
"I bought this cigarette for you, too. Please smoke it. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly.
It was not until Chen Wang opened the door and a gust of cold wind blew in that the old man turned around and shouted to Chen Wang's back: "Awang, thank you!"
Without even turning his head, Chen Wang raised his right hand, waved, and strode out the door.
…
…
After returning home, Chen Wang told his wife about his cooperation with Grandpa Lu in selling fish.
The daughter-in-law was very happy after hearing this. She thought it was a great thing to be able to help others and make money at the same time.
The little girl was also very excited. She felt that she played a key role in this and said that she would go fishing with him and the old man in the future.
"Go to bed quickly, it's already late."
Chen Wang said to the little girl unhappily.
The little girl pouted, responded reluctantly, and returned to her room with good luck.
"This girl is getting more and more noisy. How about sending her to school next spring?"
Chen Wang seemed to be thinking about something.
There were no kindergartens in the village those days, and children generally started school late.
The little girl is six years old now and can go to the first grade of primary school.
Logically speaking, the new semester should start in September.
Lin Xiuqin was knitting a sweater and looked at him with a smile.
"Forget it, let her play for another half a year!"
Chen Wang shook his head and gave up the idea.
Think about the time before I traveled through time, parents and children were getting more and more competitive. Many children started going to kindergarten at the age of three or four, and also had various tutoring classes and interest classes, keeping their schedules full.
Children lost their childhood and parents lost their freedom.
Chen Wang was born in 1995. At that time, there were no extra rolls and no conditions for rolling. However, he did experience a happy childhood.
Lin Xiuqin put down what she was holding, stood up and poured him some hot water to wash his feet.
The next morning, after continuous rain and snow, the sky finally cleared up.
While we were having breakfast, Chen Dazhuang came running over and asked whether we could go into the mountain today.
Of course, he came here on an empty stomach, and his main purpose was to get breakfast.
After eating and drinking, Chen Dazhuang hurried back to his home to prepare.
