Chapter 310: Painful Feet - The Sickly Young Girl's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard
Several people began to brainstorm, or they could be said to have directly expressed their own imagined fish baskets.
Father Lin: "I think this fish basket should be long and narrow, with a bulge at the waist and a hole on the top. There should be a hole on the basket, but the hole can't be too big to prevent the fish from escaping."
Lin Qing: "It should be similar to a chicken coop, right? Just without the handle." Lin Qing said that she had only seen chicken coops and duck coops, so it should be similar!
Cen Xi: "I think it should be similar to the pot you used to pickle pickled vegetables, just like what Dad said, there should be holes in the fish basket, and a similar opening on the top, um, that should be about right."
After the three of them expressed their opinions, they looked at Lin's mother without blinking, waiting for her to make her own decision.
After all, she was the one who edited this fish post, and they could only express their opinions but could not make the final decision.
After listening to this, Lin's mother said, "..."
What the hell is this?
Long? Chicken cage? Vegetable pot?
You are really something!
Lin's mother finally decided to weave a round basket. Just as they said, it had a big mouth and some holes around it, enough for water to flow through. She also weaved ears to make it easier to hold.
When the final product comes out,
Father Lin: "Well, not bad, it's quite like what I said, but it's a little shorter."
Lin Qing also nodded, "This ear looks more like a chicken cage."
Cen Xi looked at the round shape and it really looked like a vegetable pot, so he nodded. It seemed that he was right.
"What do you think of this?"
"Not bad, very good." Father Lin said quickly.
Lin Qing and Cen Xi also nodded. None of the three of them knew how to do it, so it was already pretty good that they could make it up. What else was there to complain about?
Mother Lin felt that she was doing okay. "That's it. I'll make a few more. You guys try this one first. Is it okay?"
"Okay!" Father Lin happily took the newly woven fish basket to the lake, found a place to put the fish basket, and left after fixing it.
"How's it going? Is it ready?"
"Well, let's see the effect later!"
"good!"
"By the way, where are the fish you just caught?" Lin's mother stopped what she was doing and asked.
"Here, here!" Father Lin pointed to the wet backpack next to him.
Lin Qing walked over quickly, "How many did you catch?" She looked down, "Wow!"
"One, two, three, four, there are actually four fish, ahhh! You guys are so great!" Lin Qing looked at Cen Xi and Lin's father with bright eyes.
Father Lin and Cen Xi were both very proud of being praised. "It's not bad! It was only because of Xiao Cen's good cooperation that we were able to catch so many."
"Yes, Dad is very good at catching fish just now. The fish swam directly in the direction of our basket and was caught in no time."
Lin Qing was dizzy after listening to this, and felt that catching fish was so easy!
"Awesome!" Lin Qing only had two words in the end.
"Not bad, you have gained a lot in the last half hour. It's very good." Lin's mother also praised.
"If we had a fishing net, we would definitely have gained more than this," said Lin's father.
"We don't have a fishing net at home. How about we buy one tomorrow?" Mother Lin looked at the small lake and wanted to catch all the fish in the lake as soon as possible to prevent others from finding them.
Lin Qing was also somewhat tempted, but, "Mom, even if we buy it, we can't come tomorrow, we all have to go to work."
"Oh~ I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. You all have to go to work tomorrow, so what should I do?"
Father Lin also pondered for a while, "How about I take a day off tomorrow? I will come with you tomorrow?"
Lin Qing's eyes lit up, "Yes, take a day off. How about we both take a day off tomorrow?"
When Lin's mother heard that they all wanted to take leave, she shook her head and said, "No, no, if you all take leave, wouldn't that be telling everyone that there's something wrong with us?"
Cen Xi was more rational and nodded, "Mom is right. We can't all take leave."
"What should we do then?" Lin Qing said worriedly.
"Let's take a look at what we've gained today first!" Cen Xi patted her arm soothingly.
"Okay!" Let's talk about it after we finish today's harvest!
…
On the other side, in the compound, when Aunt Li and Aunt Sui came to the front to chat with others, Aunt Jiang talked about Lin Qing's family going out.
"Hey! Aunt Li, Aunt Sui, Lin Qing's family went out on bicycles with backpacks on their backs. Could they be carrying you to the suburbs?"
Aunt Li sneered, "This suburb doesn't belong to us. They can go if they want. You can go too!"
Aunt Jiang's mouth stiffened for a moment after being hit in the sore spot by Aunt Li.
"What's so good about going to the suburbs? It costs money to go there, and I'm too lazy to spend money!" Aunt Jiang retorted stubbornly.
"Tsk~" Aunt Sui laughed, "Yeah, you don't have a bicycle, so you do have to spend money to go to the suburbs."
Aunt Jiang felt that she was being ridiculed, and in fact she was indeed being ridiculed. Aunt Gu, Aunt Su, and Aunt Zhou beside her also felt that they were implicated.
"What about a bicycle? Wait, my son will be able to buy one soon!" Aunt Gu announced loudly and proudly.
This attracted the attention of other people. A bicycle is a big item, and Mr. Gu actually said that he would buy one soon. He must be very rich.
Aunt Li wanted to know more. "Aunt Gu, do you have tickets? Where did you get them?"
Of course, Aunt Gu would not reveal such a secret matter. "Why do you care where we come from? You just need to know that we will be able to buy a bicycle in a while."
Aunt Li's face immediately drooped. If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Do you really think she can't guess it?
Aunt Jiang was more direct in her response: "Could your family have gotten that ticket from...?" Although she didn't say those two words, everyone knew where she was talking about.
Aunt Gu turned her eyes left and right. "What nonsense are you talking about? We got the ticket from a relative. We have been waiting for a long time."
"Oh!" Aunt Jiang's words were particularly meaningful, and it was obvious that she didn't believe it.
"Humph! Believe it or not, the tickets we got came from a legitimate source."
"I know, I know. Your ticket is genuine. It just so happens that your daughter-in-law sold her job. Isn't the money just enough to buy a bicycle?" Aunt Jiang deliberately poked her in the sore spot because she didn't want her to be too happy.
Aunt Gu's face darkened instantly. "Why do you want to mention this unlucky thing?" Jiang Li was no longer a human being in Aunt Gu's mouth.
"Did I say anything wrong? Didn't you find more than 200 yuan from your in-laws? If you don't get the job back, won't you use the money to buy the job?" Aunt Jiang didn't want to say the word "Jiang family". It felt like she was talking about her own family.
"You..." Aunt Gu was so angry that she was shaking.
