What’s even more magical is that as the music sounded, many small white particles suddenly flew out of the glass ball and then slowly fell down, just like snow, which was very beautiful.
Fubao's eyes lit up immediately. She had lived in heaven for hundreds of years and had never seen such an interesting thing. She quickly took it in her hand and asked, "Dad, what is this?"
Shen Jianlin smiled and said, "This is a music box, which is played by children in the city. Dad thought it was interesting, so he bought one for you. Do you like it, Nannan?"
"I like it. Thank you, Dad!" Fubao was so happy that her eyes curved into crescents and she had two cute dimples on both sides of her mouth. Shen Jianlin was so touched that he wanted to give her the best.
Thanking him was not enough, Fubao came over and kissed Shen Jianlin on the face, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Huo Jinxi on the side snorted softly.
It would be nice if this girl could be so proactive when thanking him.
…
The whole family was immersed in joy, but after the autumn harvest, things were not over yet. After selling the brown sugar, there was still work to do at the fish pond.
By the end of winter, the fish that have been raised for half a year can finally be caught and sold.
The Shen family spent a huge amount of money to contract the ten acres of fish pond. They spent more than three thousand yuan to dig the pond, buy fish fry, install an electric fence, etc. Many people in the village thought that the Shen family was crazy and that they would be better off using that money to build a new house.
Also, the Shen family was the poorest family in the area. The villagers had doubts about where they got so much money.
But their family has always been honest and it is impossible for them to do anything bad. Old Mrs. Shen told others that Shen Jianlin had taken on a big project in the county town and the money was paid by the construction team, and the villagers believed it.
After spending so much money, whether you can get your money back depends on how the fish grows.
At around four o'clock in the morning, Old Man Shen and Shen Jianlin brought a dozen hired strong laborers to help with fishing.
Old Man Shen originally thought that it would be good enough if he could make back his investment in the first year, but he didn't expect the fish to grow so well. Each one was white and plump. The smallest one weighed three or four kilograms, and some even grew to more than ten kilograms!
When he pulled up the fishing net and saw the net full of big fish jumping around, Old Man Shen was so excited that he was almost speechless.
It didn't take long to catch four or five thousand kilograms of fish, and several bosses that Shen Jianlin had found from the county town also drove over.
These bosses are all fish merchants or big restaurant owners, and they buy fish directly from the fish ponds. They will buy at least a hundred kilograms, and wholesalers are even more incredible. If the fish is to their liking, they may buy thousands of kilograms.
Old Man Shen's fish were really well raised, nothing could be faulted. He himself couldn't explain why he was able to raise such good fish for the first time, he just smiled and said it was good luck.
And he really thought so, it must be thanks to his daughter!
He and Shen Jianlin negotiated with the bosses for more than an hour and finally reached a deal at a price that satisfied both parties. The fish weighed more than 8,000 kilograms and were transported away in buckets by trucks. The scene was quite spectacular, which was rare in the village before. It attracted some early-rising villagers to gather around to watch the fun.
After finishing the work at the fish pond, it was already noon, but Old Man Shen and Shen Jianlin didn't feel tired at all.
After paying the young men for their work and giving each of them a few big fish, the two men went home happily with a thick stack of money.
