Chapter 86, Thoughts
As soon as He Anze entered the house, he saw that only the light in his grandmother's room was on. He thought that Mei Xue was also in his grandmother's room.
He called out twice and walked in.
She spoke only to avoid scaring Grandma and Meixue, "Grandma, Xiaoxue, I'm back."
Grandma He and Mei Xue were talking about dividing the meat in the house. When they heard the noise, they came out.
The three of them ran into each other head-on.
"Why did you come back at this time? Have you sold everything?" Grandma He asked worriedly.
"They're all sold. The vegetables and fish are also sold." He An took out the money from his pocket with a look of wanting to win the prize.
The money for the fish is also with him.
He gave the money to Mei Xue, "Xiao Xue, the wild boar is one dollar per pound, the fish is 80 cents, and the vegetables are 10 cents."
Mei Xue estimated in her mind that it was a considerable amount of money.
"How much is the fish? Take it out and share it with Anwen and the others tomorrow. Give the rest of the money to grandma. She loves counting money." Mei Xue said with a smile.
He Anze took out thirty-six yuan from inside and said, "The fish is only about thirty yuan." His words were so light.
Mei Xue put the money directly into her grandmother's hand without saying anything, "Grandma, take it and count it for fun. I'll give you more later."
Hearing Xiaoxue's words, Grandma He was so happy. Last time she counted more than 400 yuan, so this time it was not a small amount.
He Anze was a little confused. Didn’t grandma say that Xiaoxue was in charge of the family’s money?
But now...
"What's with that look in your eyes, little brat?" Grandma He noticed her grandson's gaze and said unhappily, "How can I lie to you? Xiaoxue is now the head of our family. I'll count the money. When I've counted enough, I'll give it all to Xiaoxue."
After saying that, Grandma He turned and went into the house, closing the door with a bang.
Mei Xue said with a gloating look on her face: "You're finished. Just wait and see how grandma will deal with you tomorrow." After saying that, Mei Xue went straight back to the house.
Before returning to the house, she said to the person behind her, "I'll leave the meal for you in the kitchen, keep it warm."
Aunt Xilian asked Anwen to take the food back with them when they left.
At that time, Mei Xue knew that they would not come back soon.
Mei Xue went to bed happily.
He Anze went to eat bitterly.
After taking a shower, He Anze took out all the grievances and hurts he suffered on his wife.
Mei Xue was so wronged.
The next day, several people made an appointment to go to the pond together again, but today they went just to catch fish.
With yesterday's financial gains, everyone is full of confidence today, and with the addition of An Cheng, the team has suddenly become stronger.
"Sister-in-law, what if we encounter wild boars again today?" Along the way, An Liang was looking forward to it excitedly.
Mei Xue looked at An Liang and said, "If I meet you again, I will throw you to the wild boars and let them take revenge." Unconsciously, Mei Xue's cold personality slowly changed.
"That's right. If we encounter it, we can only run away. In order to make the wild boar calm down, I think sister-in-law's idea is very good." An Wen agreed.
Along the way, everyone was talking and laughing. After yesterday's experience, no one brought buckets when they went up the mountain today. Instead, they picked four baskets to hold the fish, and put waterproof plastic bags inside.
With so many people, there was a lot of noise, and the birds and animals in the mountains were startled and flew into the sky one by one.
If these birds weren't so small, Mei Xue wouldn't have let them go, because they were all meat.
I don't know why she is still so obsessed with meat.
When they arrived at the pond, they saw the bloodstains from yesterday still there. Seeing this, He Anze finally let go of the worry in his heart.
The bloodstains are still there, which proves that there are no large animals around. Even if there are, they are probably wild boars.
Maybe because he got the hang of it yesterday, He Anze wouldn’t be afraid even if he faced a wild boar again today.
"Hurry up, pull up the fishing net first and see if the fish are still inside." The mesh of this fishing net is too large to hold fish.
The four grown men took action while Mei Xue watched from the side.
She was looking forward to the wild boar's reappearance.
Soon the fishing net was pulled up, and more than half of the fish inside had escaped. Fortunately, the only fish left were big fish and they couldn't escape.
"Sister-in-law, please bring the basket over here." An Liang was so happy to see so many big fish.
Hearing the sound, Mei Xue regained her composure, took a basket covered with a plastic bag and ran to the water's edge, "How is it?"
"Not bad, I haven't finished running yet." He Anze said with a smile.
"That's good." Mei Xue was also happy when she heard that the fish had not finished running. "Catch them quickly, and cast another net later. We can sell the fish this afternoon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mei Xue started to take action.
The group of six cast the nets twice and caught only big fish; all the smaller ones were released.
A morning full of harvest.
After returning home with the fish, An Cheng went straight to harness the horse-drawn carriage and then went out to sell the fish, as the price of live fish was high.
Mei Xue dropped a few drops of space water into the basket to preserve the vitality of the fish.
An Liang and An Shan also went with him to sell fish this time, but An Wen did not go because he had to help his father carry back the wood from the mountain.
After everyone left, Mei Xue did not delay and immediately went to her vegetable garden. The water spinach could be picked in two days, but the other vegetables would have to wait.
"Grandma, you go back. I'm fine on my own. I can just weed. It's not much work." Mei Xue felt sorry for her grandmother as she followed her under such a bright sun.
It’s not like Grandma He hasn’t done this kind of work before. “It’s okay. I’ll help you and make it faster. These vegetables are growing so well.” She smiled and looked up at Xiaoxue, then lowered her head and went back to work.
Mei Xuejian couldn't persuade him, so she had to speed up her actions.
Space water promotes the growth of plants, not only vegetables, but also grass.
This is also the reason why Mei Xue comes to the vegetable garden every day, to weed.
"Xiaoxue, are there many fish on the mountain?" Grandma talked to Xiaoxue while working.
Mei Xue thought for a while and said, "It's quite a lot. I can sell it a few more times without any problem." The fish are all big, but very diverse. There are all kinds of fish, not just one specific kind.
Thinking of fish, Mei Xue discovered a business opportunity, "Grandma, is there a fish pond in our village?"
"Yes, your uncle Zhengjing has a fish pond, but there aren't many fish in it."
"Then why doesn't he raise fish?" Mei Xue asked in confusion.
"Why else? Fish are hard to raise. Not many fish survive in a fish pond like the one we dig at home." If I could raise fish, I would have become rich long ago.
"Do we have one at home?" Mei Xue felt that her spiritual spring could not only be used to grow vegetables, but could also have more uses.
Grandma He shook her head. "We don't have any. Our fields are all on the hillside. There are no fields here in the village. It's not easy to make a fish pond."
