"Big brother, you're back? Did you catch any meat today?"
As soon as she saw Zhang Shuguang, the little girl ran over happily and grabbed Zhang Shuguang's trouser leg.
"I caught two fish. I'll cook them for you tonight, okay?"
Zhang Shuguang bent down and picked up his sister.
"good."
Although the little girl had never eaten fish, she still answered in a baby voice.
"Shengli, quickly bring the wooden basin from home and put the fish in it first."
Fish is most delicious when it is killed and eaten fresh.
"oh!"
Zhang Shengli has always been a well-behaved child, especially in the past two days, he has been obedient to his elder brother's words.
"You can't drag it, let grandma do it."
Seeing her little grandson struggling to drag the large wooden basin, Liu Guixiang hurried over to help.
Zhang Shuguang put his sister on the ground, pulled away the water plants in the backpack, took out two grass carps and put them in the basin.
"Wow! What a nice fish!"
When Zhang Xiangnan went home to visit his family when he was a child, he took his two brothers to the river to catch fish, so Zhang Shengli knew fish, but he had never seen one this big.
Zhang Shuguang filled the wooden basin with water, and the big grass carp that was dying just now came back to life instantly and swam happily in the water.
"Brother, this is fun. Let's not eat the fish, let's raise them, okay?"
The little girl was instantly attracted by the grass carp and pulled her second brother to squat beside the wooden basin to watch the fish swim.
Maybe the big grass carp was not used to such a small living space. It swam two circles at a very fast speed, and its tail slapped the water surface hard, causing a big splash of water, which directly splashed on the two little ones.
“Chuckle…”
"It's fun, grandma, it's so fun!"
The little girl had no friends since she was young. She would only chat with the chickens when she followed her second brother to feed them.
Today, the little girl saw two big grass carps and was extremely happy, as if she had discovered a new world.
"Silly girl, stay away from me. Look, your clothes are all wet."
Liu Guixiang reached out to pick up her granddaughter.
"Grandma, let my sister play for a while longer. It's hot now, so it doesn't matter if her clothes get wet."
Zhang Shuguang didn't want to make his sister unhappy.
"Just pamper her!"
Now her family has old and young, and in the future, she will have to rely on her eldest grandson to establish a new family. Seeing how much her eldest grandson loves his younger siblings, Liu Guixiang is happy from the bottom of her heart.
This eldest grandson of his is much better than that selfish eldest son.
Coming from the same miserable background, the eldest grandson's growing environment is even worse than before. At least the eldest son did not suffer so much contempt and exclusion when he grew up.
All I can say is that people are born different, and my eldest son is a born ungrateful person.
"Grandma, I plan to go to the county town."
There was also an elk lying in the space, and Zhang Shuguang wanted to try his luck.
"Grandson, we have everything at home now, so don't take the risk of going to the county town."
The old lady instinctively felt that her eldest grandson was going to the black market again.
"Grandma, I'm not going there. Besides, that place is closed during the day. I want to see if there are any factories hiring.
You have seen the world today. Even if you work hard and farm in the countryside, you still can’t even have enough to eat all year round.
You and Grandpa are getting older every year, Shengli is old enough to go to school, and Panpan is growing up day by day. We will have many expenses in the future."
Since they are all family, Zhang Shuguang did not hide anything and directly told his grandmother his thoughts.
"Grandson, if you want to go, go ahead. He's handsome and smart since he was young. He's sure to find a good job."
It was a little different from what Zhang Shuguang thought. He originally thought that his grandparents might not support his idea.
Since I haven't even graduated from junior high school and don't have any special skills, it's undoubtedly a fantasy to just say that I want to go to the city to find a job.
Who knew that grandma was more confident than me? Maybe in her eyes, I am good in every way!
"Brother is going to the city to work as a worker?"
Zhang Shengli didn't even bother to look at the fish, and asked excitedly with his little head tilted up.
"Um...I'm just going to try it out."
"As long as Big Brother wants to go to the city to work as a worker, he will definitely succeed."
Zhang Shengli looked down at the new shoes on his feet, then turned to look at the grass carp in the big wooden basin, his tone becoming more firm and serious.
"I try my best."
Zhang Shuguang was under a lot of pressure because of his grandmother's trust and his brother's admiration.
It’s better not to go. What if you fail and come back in disgrace? Grandma and brother will be so disappointed!
Facing his brother's admiring gaze, Zhang Shuguang almost backed out.
"Grandson, wait a moment. I'll cook some sweet potatoes and eggs for you to eat at noon."
It was true that the family had money from Zhang Shuguang selling wild boars, but without food coupons, they could not buy food with the money.
"Don't bother, grandma. I went to that place last night and met a friend. He agreed to treat me to dinner today."
With the two little ones around, Zhang Shuguang and his grandmother didn't dare to say the word "black market" casually.
Although the two little ones usually don't go out, it's still better to be cautious. If the children let something slip, it will cause trouble, big or small.
Today Zhang Shuguang went to the county town and actually planned to go to the black market to find Boss Liao first.
People who hang around in the black market all have certain connections and relationships behind them, and they know a lot of inside information. It is better to ask them for some advice than to run around like a headless fly.
"Grandson, are the people in that place trustworthy? You should be more careful when interacting with them."
