The eldest brother was still hesitant, but upon hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay! My home is nearby, I'll go back and get the flour. You wait for me, don't leave early."
"become."
After a while.
Liu Xiaojun harvested a pound of flour.
This is a pound of white flour!
Liu Huizhen and I have a bigger appetite, while Tangtang has a smaller appetite.
This pound of white flour is enough for the whole family to eat for a whole day!
At least, I don’t have to worry about flour for the next day.
After the first person spoke, the eyes of the other onlookers also became heated.
"The young man is quite handsome, and his fishing skills are pretty good too.
Can you trade this silver carp for something else? I told my wife I have to catch some fish today. It would be embarrassing if I didn't. How about I give you a few pounds of flour and you give me one too?
Liu Xiaojun's eyes lit up: "Okay, but it doesn't have to be white flour. White flour buns or oil will do."
The others were also very happy when they heard it: "Okay, wait for me, young man, we will go to the supply and marketing cooperative to get some things to exchange for you."
If you ask why you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange something instead of going home to get it.
This is because he is worried that his wife at home will find out and he will be in trouble.
After a while, all the fish Liu Xiaojun had caught were gone.
Liu Xiaojun looked at the empty fish basket, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was smiling bitterly or not.
This group of people didn't leave any for themselves.
As a last resort, he had to sit on the ice for a while and continue fishing.
The sun was setting when I caught two more fish weighing three or four pounds.
I guess, by now, my mother Liu Huizhen should be back.
I feel like I haven’t had a full meal in a long time. Today I caught some fish and exchanged them for some flour and sesame oil.
Even an old man who was not afraid of death took sauerkraut from his own jar and gave it to Liu Xiaojun in exchange for silver carp, and Liu Xiaojun gladly accepted the exchange.
Since there is white flour, fish, oil, and sauerkraut.
It seems.
Tonight, I can cook some pickled fish and give the whole family a good meal!
Liu Xiaojun looked at Tangtang, who was tired and sleepy, and said softly, "Tangtang, brother caught two more fish. Let's have pickled fish today."
Tangtang was almost falling asleep, but when she heard the words "sauerkraut fish", she immediately woke up.
She blinked her eyes. Although she didn't know what kind of fish her brother was talking about, she knew it must be delicious since her brother said so.
The little girl happily showed off her white teeth: "Okay, okay, then let's go back and eat pickled fish!"
With that, the two of them took their things and went home.
"Brother, you are too tired to carry these things. Please give the stool to Tangtang. Tangtang can carry it."
Looking at Tangtang who was so sensible, Liu Xiaojun's eyes softened: "Okay, then if you can't lift it anymore, be sure to tell your brother."
Tangtang saw that Liu Xiaojun had a lot of things, so she took the initiative to share the "burden" of carrying the small stool.
"Okay, let's go back quickly. If mom doesn't find us when she comes back, she will be worried."
Liu Xiaojun looked at Tangtang, who looked like a little adult, and curled the corners of his lips lovingly: "Okay, I'll listen to you, little girl with a smart face."
Sunset.
Sunset.
Dead tree.
Liu Xiaojun was behind, and Tangtang walked across the river bank with crooked steps.
The two returned to the courtyard facing the sunset.
In the courtyard, the third uncle was standing at the gate and sighing.
The next moment, Liu Xiaojun and his companion came back with bags.
There are fish, white flour and so on.
The third uncle was curious: "How come I caught white flour while fishing?"
He thought of the ten cents he had lost to Liu Xiaojun, and then his eyes turned and he thought of buying flour:
"Xiaojun, have you ever eaten white flour?"
"I'm telling you this white flour tastes terrible, Third Uncle, don't worry about it being unpalatable. Just give it to me and I'll help you digest it."
