After Hua Xinuo got the money, she hurried back to make dumplings.
The whole family was busy buying flour and collecting small fish.
I still have some shiitake mushrooms, so these are enough for now.
However, Hua Xinhong knew that the family would have to make dumplings for lunch, but there would definitely not be enough fish.
So Hua Xinhong took the money and went to some familiar families to buy small fish.
Hua Xinhong rowed the boat closer to Lin Zhengtao's boat.
At this time, most of the wupeng boats came to the river to fish.
So if you want to catch fish, you can only talk to everyone's boat closer.
Of course, when they were selling buns in the morning, everyone's boats were rowed to the river, and no one knew that they were selling dumplings at a stall.
Lin Zhengtao is fishing with his wife and son.
Seeing their boat approaching, he smiled and said hello, "Xinhong, you look much better."
Lin Zhengtao was sincerely happy for Hua Xinhong.
The two people used to live in the same village and lived close to each other, with houses in front and behind each other.
The two played together when they were young.
But later on, Hua Xinhong went to school and showed great talent in studying, which made everyone in the village happy.
I thought that there might be a chance that they would produce a scholar or a high-ranking official.
If this is the case, the whole village will benefit.
At that time, the Hua family had a lot of land, and Hua Xinhong's parents and brothers were all able to work and farm, and the money they earned was enough to support his studies.
But once the flood came, everything changed.
Hua Xinhong also had to drop out of school to work to support his family.
Now all the fingers are broken and shattered.
Whenever he thought of this, Lin Zhengtao sighed with emotion.
It's rare for Hua Xinhong to be able to keep a calm mind.
Hua Xinhong said: "Zhengtao, I have something to talk to you about."
Lin Zhengtao smiled cheerfully and said, "Let's talk on board if you have anything to say."
Lin Zhengtao guessed that Hua Xinhong might borrow some money. Since they were from the same village, he naturally had to help out.
Over the years, they have helped each other and lived together for warmth.
Lin Zhengtao's son Lin Song also called him Uncle Hua.
Lin Zhengtao's wife is an introverted person who doesn't talk much. She also has a slight limp. She usually stays on the boat and doesn't go out, for fear of being laughed at.
Hua Xinhong looked at the small fish in the bucket on the boat and said, "Zhengtao, you've caught a lot of fish. Are you going to sell them?"
Lin Zhengtao sighed and said, "All I caught this morning were small fish, with only one big one. The small fish were too small, and no one bought them. It's frustrating."
The fish should be at least half a pound, but these are not even half a pound.
Besides, fish weighing about half a pound are also very cheap, and fish weighing only one pound or more are easy to sell and you can make some money.
So their fishing also depends on luck. If they are lucky and catch big fish, they can earn more on the same day. Sometimes they even catch an empty net, and their whole day's work is in vain.
Lin Zhengtao and his family were very anxious.
Hua Xinhong said: "Zhengtao, I just need some small fish. Sell all of these to me. What's the price you want?"
"What?" Lin Zhengtao was stunned, his eyes wide open, looking at Hua Xinhong in disbelief.
Even Lin Zhengtao's son almost couldn't hold the net firmly in his hand.
There were quite a few small fish in the net.
Coming back to his senses, Lin Zhengtao said earnestly, "Xinhong, your family is having a hard time right now, and you're still sick. I know you want to help, but take care of yourself first."
"My son and I can still fish, but your son and daughter are still young."
The implication was that Hua Xinhong appreciated his kindness and asked him to take care of his family first.
Hua Xinhong felt very touched when he heard these words.
The two of them are like childhood friends, they have known each other since childhood, so their relationship is naturally different. Moreover, Lin Zhengtao's family is warm-hearted and kind-hearted.
So even when collecting fish, Hua Xinhong wanted to come to Lin Zhengtao's side to take a look first.
Hua Xinhong said seriously, "Zhengtao, I'm not going to lie to you. I started a small business at home today, selling fish buns, so I bought these small fish."
After hearing what Hua Xinhong said, Lin Zhengtao was surprised, but also happy for him.
"It's good to do some small business, but business is not easy. If you need small fish, take them first."
"We can't finish it at home anyway."
"That won't do!"
Hua Xinhong said he would never take advantage of this.
In the end, Hua Xinhong insisted and bought two large buckets of more than 20 small fish for two cents each.
After Hua Xinhong left, Lin Zhengtao was holding more than forty coins in his hand, his eyes red.
Lin Song said, "Dad, Uncle Hua is helping us. Those fish are not worth more than two cents each. It's hard to sell them at a stall for even a penny each."
The main reason is that there are many docks, fishing boats and fish sellers here, and people who buy fish tend to choose larger fish.
So many people buy big buckets to raise small fish.
Lin Zhengtao felt a pang of sadness in his heart. "I know your Uncle Hua is a good person. If he were an official, he would be a good one. What a pity!"
Lin Zhengtao felt a little uncomfortable looking at Hua Xinhong's figure.
"We will remember your kindness. If your uncle Hua needs anything in the future, please help him."
"Dad, I know."
"But with these extra gains today, I feel a lot more relaxed. I don't feel too much pressure fishing anymore."
The two brothers talked and expressed their feelings.
Lin Zhengtao's wife listened quietly.
She knew that she was a woman who knew nothing, so she listened to the head of the household in all matters.
…
Hua Xinhong collected these fish and added them to the fish from his own net and some small fish in the cage, which was enough to make fish dumplings.
