After strolling around the night market, Chen Zhiyao was stuffed with food, and everyone else was carrying all sorts of things.
Chen Weiqiang, in particular, followed behind the mother and daughter with both hands full of heavy fruit, working tirelessly without complaint.
He felt that two hours of shopping was much more tiring than a whole day of fishing.
It was already past 9 o'clock when I got home.
As soon as I opened the front door, I found Ah Huang and Xue Tuan standing guard on either side of the entrance, their four little eyes filled with sorrow.
"Woof woof woof...(；′⌒`)"
(Ah Huang: Why are you only coming back now? Did you have another dog outside?)
"Awoooooo..."
(Snowball: I'm hungry, where's the food?)
Grandma Chen couldn't bear to see Ah Huang looking so pitiful, so she quickly went over and rubbed its little head to comfort it:
"Our Ah Huang must be starving. It's Grandma's fault. We'll definitely come back earlier next time."
As she spoke, the old lady carried the fried rice towards where Ah Huang and Xue Tuan were eating.
Ah Huang was quickly appeased, immediately put on a smiling face, and wagged his big tail and followed along happily.
As for that heartless little snowball, it had already been circling around Grandma Chen for a long time.
After entering the house, Chen Zhiyao looked at the baby pufferfish in the fish tank. Seeing that the little guy was still alive and well, she was in a good mood and fed it a lot of food.
"Eat more, there's still plenty left."
Worried that the little guy wouldn't have enough to eat, she sprinkled more fish food into the fish tank, then went upstairs with light steps.
She gained points today, and now her points have been converted into points.
With so many points, Chen Zhiyao happily opened the system's shop.
Two one-year supply of the "Hundred Poisons Incurable Pills," discounted with points, and Chen Zhiyao, who wasn't short of money, decisively placed an order.
These two are for my parents. She had a physical exam a few months ago and is young and healthy, so she feels she doesn't need them for now and can buy them later.
Seeing that she still had more than 50,000 points in the system, she couldn't wait to place an order for a level 3 lucky fishing rod.
With it, you can go fishing for even more giant fish in the open sea.
However, just before making the payment, Chen Zhiyao stopped again, muttering her analysis to herself:
"A Lucky Fish fishing rod is 12% off and costs 44,000 points. If you buy two, the second one is half price and only costs 66,000 points."
"I should have enough points to buy two now. If I only buy one, wouldn't that be a waste?"
I'll have to get this level three lucky fishing rod for my family sooner or later.
After careful calculation, Chen Zhiyao realized that buying two now would save her 20,000 points.
So she clicked on the latest points page:
Host: Chen Zhiyao
Level: Fishing Level 3, Beachcombing Level 3 (All unlocked)
Points:
Perspective range: 3 meters on the ground, 50 meters in the sea.
Visible viewing time: Three hours each on land and in the sea area per day. (Can be accumulated or paused.)
Beachcombing tools: 2 sand shovels, iron shovel, multi-purpose tongs, iron spade, 2 live fish buckets, 5 fish traps, water pump, 2 diving suits.
Fishing equipment: 3 Level 1 Lucky Fishing Rods, 1 Level 2 Lucky Fishing Rod, and 2 bottles of bait additive.
Although I'm still short by more than 6,000 points, it doesn't matter. The big tide is coming the day after tomorrow, and these points will be easy to come by.
Now, Chen Zhiyao is no longer in a hurry to order the level 3 lucky fishing rod; she plans to buy two in a couple of days.
Seeing that there were only two bottles of bait additive left, she casually ordered six more to stock up.
This thing looks cheap, but it runs out quickly.
Seeing her points decrease to a mere 0.5, Chen Zhiyao felt a little distressed.
At this moment, Yan Shuting came out of the bathroom and deliberately knocked on her daughter's bedroom door:
"Tangtang, I'm done washing up. Go take a shower now. We have a lot to do tomorrow, so get up early to help."
"Okay! I'll definitely get up early."
It's another beautiful day! ^0^
Chen Zhiyao was sleeping soundly in bed when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, in her half-asleep state, she heard her mother's voice:
"Chen Zhiyao, why aren't you getting up yet? There's a lot to do today, get up and help out."
Hearing the sound, Chen Zhiyao rubbed her messy hair, squinted her eyes, and got out of bed.
Receiving no response, Yan Shuting, outside, urged again:
"It's already 9 o'clock, why aren't you getting up yet? The sun is already high in the sky."
"Get up, you're already up."
Chen Zhiyao obediently agreed verbally, but secretly complained in her heart, "It's only 8:06, how can it be 9 o'clock?"
However, she only dared to complain in her heart and dared not say it out loud, otherwise her mother would beat her up.
Hearing the response, Yan Shuting turned and went downstairs, but as she left, she urged him again, still worried:
"Hurry up, you're always dawdling."
"Yes, yes, yes." Mom is getting more and more long-winded.
Grandma Chen spent a long time at the night market yesterday, and she also got up late today. Her breakfast was soy milk and steamed buns that she bought.
Chen Zhiyao ate two meat buns and then started helping with the work.
Grandma Chen and Yan Shuting were killing chickens and geese in the yard. She originally wanted to go over and help pluck the feathers, but the two of them sent her away to put up couplets.
Chen Zhiyao took out a mask, put it on, and then tore off the old couplets from last year one by one.
A lot of dust was kicked up when she tore it, but luckily she was prepared and wore a mask.
Seeing that two people were missing, Chen Zhiyao casually asked:
Where are my dad and grandpa?
Grandma Chen looked up with a smile and said:
"Many owners of fishing tackle shops have ordered chickens from their own farms for their New Year's Eve dinner. Your dad and grandpa went to the old house early this morning to catch chickens."
Normally, the free-range chickens we raise at home cost 150 yuan each, but during the Spring Festival, the price rose to 220 yuan each, and we still couldn't sell them all.
The old lady was so happy she couldn't stop smiling, thinking about how she could make a lot of money today.
As luck would have it, just as we were talking about Grandpa Chen, the old man pushed open the door and came in, carrying two pounds of fresh prawns.
Grandpa Chen walked to his wife's side and said with a smile:
"Besides the 50 old hens that were kept to lay eggs, the remaining 52 free-range young chickens were all sent to the fishing tackle shop by Qiangzi."
Grandma Chen nodded happily, and then said:
"Free-range chickens take longer to raise, but they are more expensive, especially at the end of the year."
"I'm thinking of raising more free-range chickens next year, and I won't raise the kind that are fed with feed anymore, because they don't fetch a good price."
Seeing that the old lady was not young, and that the old man and she were about to go out to sea, Yan Shuting quickly tried to dissuade her:
"Mom, we're not short of money at home right now, so raise fewer animals and don't let them work too hard."
“That’s right, you should raise fewer chickens, and there’s also the fishpond at home. Grandma, you can’t manage it all by yourself,” Chen Zhiyao added, offering her advice.
Grandma Chen said in a gentle but very firm tone:
"It's alright, I won't raise too many. Apart from the 50 that lay eggs, I'll catch another 200 chicks later and that should be about right."
"They're all kept in the orchard, so all I have to do is go over and feed the chickens a few times. There's not much work involved."
"As for the shrimp in the shrimp pond, I just feed them when I'm feeding the chickens."
When preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, Chen Weiqiang returned with more than 10,000 yuan.
Grandma Chen was in a great mood after receiving the money and even thought about raising more chickens next year, but her family unanimously opposed it.
The old lady felt she was still young, but knowing everyone meant well, she finally agreed to raise only 200 chicks.
