Chapter 1807: Happy and Forgetful 5
Wang Cuilan and Xi Bao looked at each other, and the latter nodded and said, "Yes, just like my great uncle and aunt sent us fish. They went to visit their relatives and sent fish to their relatives."
Lu Erxiong always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out so he just let it go. He followed Zhou Zhou out and squatted by the river to watch her kill fish.
After hearing Lu Erxiong's mumbling, Zhou Zhou smiled and had no intention of explaining.
According to Erxiong, there are people who go to visit relatives and give gifts, but most of them go to the black market.
Some families have large populations and live a tight life. They are reluctant to keep dozens of kilograms of fish for themselves for the New Year, so after they get the fish, they sneak into the black market and sell the fish to urban residents at high prices. Fish that cost two or three cents a kilogram in their brigade are sold for one yuan in the black market, and people are scrambling to buy them. Dozens of kilograms can be sold for dozens of yuan, which is more than enough to spend on a year's living expenses.
It's not just fish, the same is true for meat. A pound of good meat can be sold for two or three yuan. The supply and marketing cooperative sells eggs for six cents each, and they can be sold for ten cents on the black market. The extra four cents earned is enough to buy two boxes of matches.
As long as they are brave enough, there is nothing they dare not trade privately, whether it is coarse or fine grains, fruits or vegetables.
The Lu family never thought about selling out, as they didn’t even have enough food to eat at home!

Xibao is an excellent cook. The sweet and sour carp he made was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was sweet and sour, delicious, and full of color, aroma and flavor. He kept some extra soup and poured it over the rice, and the children were so engrossed in the meal that they didn't even want to lift their heads.
Guan Yu poured wine for Cheng Baoguo and Lu's father, while Xi Bao moved a plate of fried peanuts in front of the two elders.
"Really?" A sweet smile bloomed on Fubao's face.
Xi Bao brought back two bowls of stewed cabbage with bacon to Wang Zhengguo and Wang Fengqiao's homes. The bowls were not empty, but filled with fried peanuts. When he passed by his sister and saw the scene, he immediately praised it and said, "You can show it to Grandpa Wen."
Even without the old men and women, there were eleven people sitting around the dining table. Only Lu Tianzhi had not come back from sending Xiao Miao home. Zhou Zhou's grandmother always cooked and sent a portion to her.
Lu Tianzhi came in after washing his hands and saw it all.
Fubao happily put away the painting and said, "I'll show it to Grandpa Wen when he comes to our house for dinner tonight."
Lu Erxiong quickly picked up the last piece of fish belly meat and put it into his bowl.
Today, every household was given fish. Except for a few families who treated themselves and their families harshly, most of them stewed the fish. The aroma of fish filled the entire Wanglou Brigade, and the children stayed at home and were unwilling to go out.
Fubao draws pictures while watching fish. The fish swimming in the water appear vivid and lifelike.
"Of course, our Fubao paints very well." Although the technique is a little crude, the artistic conception is excellent. The child's innocent mood is immersed in the brush and ink, and there is a natural and simple beauty.
Lu Tianzhi came home at this time. He smelled the food before he even entered the house and said, "Leave some for me!"
"You're so good, Lu Erxiong, you've got donkey hair in your ears and you didn't hear what I said, right?" Lu Tianzhi squeezed in and sat down next to him angrily, sitting on the same bench and almost pushing Lu Erxiong off.
Lu Erxiong said dissatisfiedly: "Second cousin!"
The wooden basin for rice was right next to Guan Yu, so he served a bowl to his cousin and said, "Come on, Tian Zhi, why are you arguing with a kid? There's still more than half of the five or six jin fish left, enough for you to eat."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lu Tianzhi took a mouthful of rice and a piece of meat from the sides of the fish spine. He said to Lu Erxiong, "Lu Erxiong, you are very good. The rest is all meat with a lot of bones. I will chop the meat stuffing in the afternoon and make dumplings in the evening. I just won't give it to you."
