…
The dinner was as sumptuous as usual, with delicious fish, meat, four dishes and a soup.
Fubao felt that she had gained weight recently and her face had become rounder, but her grandparents and fourth brother still kept picking up food for her, and the food in her bowl was piled up like a small mountain.
They didn't stop until she protested.
As usual, the old couple asked about the two children's situation at school. Fubao did not mention Guan Xiaorui's matter. She thought it was a trivial matter and there was no need to talk about it during the family dinner. She also did not want to upset her grandparents.
Shen Zhile wanted to say something, but Fubao glanced at him, and he immediately understood what she meant. He choked back the words in time and changed to talk about other things.
Hearing their two children say that they were doing well at school, the old couple felt relieved.
When they were halfway through the meal, Old Man Shen said excitedly, "This morning I sold the latest batch of fish from the fish pond. Guess how much they sold for?"
In recent years, the income from the fish pond has been getting better and better, easily reaching 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. Old Mrs. Shen went from being shocked and disbelieving at the beginning to being accustomed to it now.
She calmly said a number, "Forty thousand?"
Old man Shen laughed and said, "Less!"
Old Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, "Forty thousand is not enough?"
"Yes, less!"
"You've only been raising that batch of fish for a few months, and you can earn so much?" Old Mrs. Shen was a little surprised.
"Grandpa, please tell us now, don't keep us in suspense, how much money did you make?" Shen Zhile couldn't wait to know. Now that his family was getting richer and richer, he could compete with those rich young men in the county, right?
He seemed to have forgotten that he didn't have much pocket money.
Old man Shen held up five fingers and said proudly, "Fifty thousand!"
"Is this true?" Old Mrs. Shen exclaimed, "I remember you sold more than 30,000 at the end of last year. How come you're doing so well now?"
"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?" Old Man Shen snorted, "I was able to sell it for so much money because after the Chinese New Year, I went to the county town to find a few experts and asked them for advice. They said that fish farming should be done scientifically, and after I followed their methods, the output of the fish pond increased a lot, and the fish grew fast and well, so I was able to sell it for so much money. I have to say that science and technology are developing so fast now, I feel like I can't keep up with the times!"
"That's right, Grandpa, have you heard of computers?" Shen Zhile smiled a little cunningly.
"Computer?" Old Man Shen thought about it, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, I know, it's a square thing, a bit like a TV, but smaller than a TV. What is that thing used for?"
"It's smaller than a TV, but much more powerful! I heard that many rich people use computers now. They can search for what they want to know on the Internet, chat with people without meeting them, and can be used for work and store a lot of information. No need to take notes by hand, it can hold a lot of information. It can also play games and so on. In short, it is very useful! By the way, my eldest brother is working in a foreign company now, so he can use a computer. He came back and told me about it, and said he didn't expect someone to invent such a great thing."
Old Man Shen was confused. "Why does it feel so complicated? I don't understand."
Shen Zhile chuckled, "Anyway, it's pretty awesome! Grandpa, why don't you consider buying one for our family?"
