Chapter 132: Should I sell the fish?
Jiang Yu thought that the fish might not be able to be kept, so he nodded.
"I'll keep one for my family and give the other to your family."
"Okay, I'll go home and weigh it!" Lin Donghua smiled happily and moved quickly, fearing that someone would snatch it away.
There were many people in the Duan family, young and old, so she chose the big one.
Excluding the weight of the basket, it was actually 11 pounds and 8 ounces!
"The bighead carp in the market is 35 cents per pound. Grandpa said, can I give it to you for 40 cents?"
Lin Donghua actually felt that she was taking advantage of the 40 cents, after all, you might not be able to buy this fish even if you have money.
But if she gave too much, Jiang Yu would definitely not accept it.
"Sister-in-law, it's just 35 cents!"
Lin Donghua refused and paid her 4.80 yuan.
The two pushed and shoved, and finally according to four yuan and five cents, Lin Donghua went home happily with the big fish.
Seeing this, Sun's mother sighed that she acted too late, otherwise the family could have eaten meat today.
"Liangzi, Xiao He has another one at home, go and ask him if he wants to sell it."
Sun Zailiang was also thinking about the fish, and immediately put on his shoes and went out.
He and Tong Fang walked to the door together, the two looked at each other, and shouted in unison: "Brother Yue!"
They rushed in, and the family inside was eating pickled fish, and they were reluctant to even raise their heads.
The fresh fish, under the cooking skills of He Tingyue, brought out the eight points of deliciousness to twelve points.
It was sour and spicy and refreshing, and the soup was not wasted.
The fried noodles originally prepared for tonight will have to wait.
He Tingyue gave them a look in his busy schedule: "What's the matter?"
Tong Fang and Sun Zailiang said in unison: "Are you selling the fish?"
Before He Tingyue opened his mouth, his wife and the family members, young and old, all looked up at him.
Stared at by such burning eyes, he dared not nod.
"No, you're late."
Sun Zailiang slumped his shoulders and secretly looked into the bucket.
"Isn't there one more?" He
Tingyue said, "Save it for tomorrow."
Sun Zailiang said sadly, "Brother Yue, please be kind, my mother and wife haven't eaten meat for a long time."
Jiang Yu swallowed the potato chips in his mouth, "Liangzi, I really can't sell it. I have four children now. They are still growing up and need to be supplemented."
Sun Zailiang, Tong Fang: "..."
How dare you say that Jiang Ye and He Feiyan are children?
Jiang Yu remained calm: "There is no generation difference. No matter how old Ye and Feiyan are, they are still children in my eyes."
He Feiyan nodded shamelessly and agreed.
"I will always be my sister-in-law's little baby."
He Tingyue glanced at her coldly. This was the first thing he disagreed with.
"Okay, you guys go back. I'll check later to see if there's any left. I'll leave one for you."
Sun Zailiang and Tong Fang were happy again.
"Okay, then we'll wait for good news from Brother Yue."
After they left, the whole family went back to eating the pickled fish. They ate until there was not even a drop of soup left.
After the meal, He Zhengdong was very conscious and took the initiative to clear the dishes.
Jiang Yu touched his bulging belly, "There's still a piece of meat. Otherwise, cook it with the fish tomorrow night and ask my aunt to come over for dinner. My aunt hasn't come to our house for dinner since I married you."
He Tingyue naturally agreed, "Okay."
Then, Jiang Yu got up and went into the house, taking out two cotton-padded clothes that he had made.
"Lilan, this is yours, and this one is your brother's."
He Lilan's eyes lit up, "Is it ready? So fast!"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "I have nothing else to do these two days, so I'll rush it out for you."
They had to buy cotton-padded clothes before the temperature dropped.
"Try it on quickly, this dress suits you very well." He Feiyan urged.
She was very envious and began to look forward to her own cotton-padded clothes.
When her sister-in-law was not at home, she thought her life was already very good.
Now, in comparison, she only wants to say one thing: what a miserable life she had lived before.
He Lilan couldn't wait to put on the new cotton-padded clothes. The orange-red color made her skin look very white, as festive as the Chinese New Year.
She lowered her head, touched here and looked there, and loved every detail.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I like it so much that I want to keep it for the New Year."
Jiang Yu patted her head. "Let's go to the department store to buy new ones during the New Year. If sister-in-law is free, she will make it for you. This one is for you to wear on weekdays."
For a family of five, it's okay to make clothes occasionally, but asking her to make them continuously can't afford to waste her energy.
"Brother, come out and try it on!"
She found that the cotton-padded jacket made by Jiang Yu was specially widened and lengthened. The sleeves of the cotton-padded jackets she bought before were all short, and the wind whistled in from the hem.
He Zhengdong came out wiping his hands and looked at the new cotton-padded jacket with a look of confusion.
He Feiyan smiled and urged: "Why are you standing there? Try it on quickly."
He Lilan took the initiative to step forward and put it on him.
He looked thin, but his body was not small. The cotton-padded jacket seemed to be made big, but it fit him well.
"Wow! It fits you really well!" He Lilan circled around He Zhengdong.
Although it was black, she thought every part of the coat was nice.
He Zhengdong pinched the hem of the coat. The coat was unexpectedly soft and thick, and it was obvious that a lot of cotton was used.
His eyes were quietly reddened, thinking of the time when he and his sister had to wear a coat that others had worn for who knows how long in the countryside.
The coats he wore were always stiff and not warm.
He Tingyue had good financial conditions, but he himself was poor, let alone raising a child.
I don’t have time to worry about whether my clothes are too long or too short. Many things in life are just about making do.
Jiang Yu was the first person to make clothes for him with her own hands.
He raised his hand and wiped his eyes hard.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
This apology was much more sincere than before.
He was now filled with guilt, feeling that he deserved to die for questioning Jiang Yu before.
Jiang Yu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I know you and Lilan are both good children, and our family does not need to apologize. From now on, you can help your sister-in-law more at home and work hard to live a good life together."
He Zhengdong nodded hard . Head, eyes very firm.
"From now on, I will take care of lighting the fire and washing the dishes at home!"
He Lilan followed closely: "Me too, me too! I can sweep and mop the floor, I might do it!"
Jiang Yu smiled with satisfaction, "You guys You can do it, sister-in-law has high hopes for you! From now on, the job of shoveling shit for Heidan will be handed over to you, and sister-in-law will be responsible for finding all kinds of delicious food for you! "
When the brother and sister heard about the delicious food, they felt that the work was not tiring anymore. Heidan The shit of Heidan no longer stinks.
"I'll do it! I shovel the shit for Heidan every day!" He Zhengdong hurriedly took up the task.
He Lilan said anxiously: "I will go to the school bushes to catch some insects for Heidan to eat so that he can lay eggs!"
He Feiyan was speechless: "Lilan, Heidan is a rooster, he can't lay eggs."
But He Lilan thought of another idea. "We have roosters and hens at home, so can we hatch chicks?" Jiang
Yu raised her eyes. She had never thought about it before.
But even if we could hatch chicks at home, we had no place to raise them, so she decided not to.
