Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 48

The next day, before dawn, Xiaoqiao got up and put on a padded jacket, while Lixia got up earlier and brought a bag. Wu Shi and Ye Zhu ordered and ordered, and the two younger ones nodded. He nodded and nodded, and finally set off.

As soon as Xiaoqiao was blown by the cold wind, some unconscious minds immediately reacted.They were going to the official road and waited for Fatty Luo's carriage from the village to come. This was what Li Xia had agreed with people yesterday.

"Is Xiaoqiao cold? Brother is carrying you!" Li Xia said.

Xiaoqiao hurriedly shook his head: "Brother, it will get warmer after walking. Let's go quickly." Xiaoqiao took Lixia's hand and walked towards the official road with big strides.When we arrived at the appointed place, Fatty Luo drove over in a carriage after a while.

Fatty Luo is a young man of the Ye family, and he is very generous. Because there is a carriage at home, anyone who wants to go to the city can just say a word, and he will take him there, without asking for money.

Fatty Luo also brought his daughter-in-law and one of his daughters, Hongmei, today.His daughter Hongmei is chubby like Luo Fatzi.Aunt Luo saw the two brothers and sisters, and said with a smile: "Li Xia is taking my sister to the city."

Lixia hurriedly called out to his aunt, Xiaoqiao also called out, and Aunt Luo said with a smile: "Take the car quickly, the road is still far away, let's wait for a few more people, and we will start in a while." People who followed Fatty Luo to the city There were a few more. After a while, everyone arrived and greeted each other when they met.When they saw Lixia and Xiaoqiao, they said with a smile: "Lixia is promising now. You feed the fish that none of us can raise. After that, the money will come in a lot?"

Li Xia said embarrassingly: "My aunts praised me, I was just thinking about it. If anyone wants to buy fish in the future, they will go to my place. The folks in the big hometown are definitely cheaper than outside."

"It would be nice to have your words! But, there are a few of us here who can afford fish, and they only buy it when they have distinguished guests. Usually they buy meat. But Li Xia said our aunt But I have it all in mind, and we will have to give us a cheaper price at that time." As long as the mothers-in-law and aunts in the village are not particularly malicious, few will take advantage of it. Everyone is envious but not jealous. Why are you still jealous?If you have the ability to make money by yourself, the folk customs of Yejia Village are still simple and simple.

Hongmei was very close to Xiaoqiao, she saw a basket on Xiaoqiao's left hand, and asked, "What is this?"

Xiaoqiao said: "It's eggs, they are going to be sold in the market."

After hearing this, Hongmei asked, "Why don't you let your mother sell them? My mother sells these eggs in my family."

"Hehe, I like to join in the fun. My brother is going to the city, and I pester him to go, so my mother asks me to sell the eggs."

Hongmei laughed straight after hearing this: "I didn't meet you in the city before, even in the village, I didn't see you often. What do you do at home every day? They say that your house collects chicken manure. It's true. No?"

Xiaoqiao said: "Yes, if you have it at home, you can send it over, and you can exchange it for sugar. I feed the chickens and cook at home. There is also a vegetable garden in the backyard of my house. I look at it every day. , I picked a lot of cucumbers and cowpeas in summer, and they dried them up in the sun, so they can be eaten in winter.”

"Then can I go to your house to play with you?" Hongmei asked.

"Of course. I'm at home every day. Well, if I go to the city, I won't be here. You can come to see me in the future. My father and mother are fine." Xiaoqiao said with a smile.

She is the only female doll in Hongmei's house, and she is full of elder brothers. Although her parents dote on her, she still thinks it is not fun. When she plays with others in the village, all the boys and girls dislike her for being fat, and some laugh at her. I have fought with people, but I can't stop others' mouths, and girls are too old to wander around the village every day like boys, so not many of them play well.

Seeing that Xiaoqiao is good-looking and speaks nicely now, she wants to play with her, "Then it's settled, I'll go to your house to find you when the time comes."

Xiaoqiao nodded. In the village, the group of children were all five or six, six or seven years old, and the boys who were not a little older were all eight or nine years old, and it was a bit difficult for the girls to play with them when they were seven or eight years old. It's outrageous, doesn't every family have several children now?At the age of Xiaoqiao, they are all helping the family. If there are younger brothers and sisters, they will be a babysitter. If they don’t wash and cook, they must be proficient in everything, otherwise they will go to the mother-in-law’s house in the future. What can I do then?
And there are still many people who think that a girl doll is a loser, and if they can let her work, they must work. Where can they just play around in the village without doing anything?
In addition, their current home is at the end of the village, far away from everyone else, so except for Xiaofeng, Xiaomi Xiaodie and the others, Xiaoqiao hardly interacts with other female dolls in the village.

"Okay, then you must come." Xiaoqiao is also willing to teach friends, and Hongmei doesn't seem to be that difficult to get along with.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, Fatty Luo told everyone what time to gather. When the time passed, he would not go if he had something to do, so he didn't wait.

Lixia took Xiaoqiao and went to the market to set up a stall first. Many people went to Cannes to buy eggs. Xiaoqiao’s eggs looked very big, but the price was the same as others, so it took an hour to get a basket of eggs. It's sold out.

Modern eggs are calculated on the basis of catty, but eggs at this time are considered individual, so that it is convenient for everyone.

"Come on, let's go to the place where the fish is sold over there." Li Xia was afraid that Xiao Qiao would get lost, so he kept holding her hand.

When they arrived at the fish seller, both of them were a little disappointed. They were all selling big fish, and there were almost no small fish!

Lixia and Xiaoqiao were a little disappointed after looking at it once, and when they were about to leave, a fish seller behind him asked, "Do you want to buy big fish?" Generally, people who look down on these fish think that the fish is too small. That's why he asked.

Li Xia hurriedly said: "No, I want to see if there are any small fish, but I just looked around and found nothing."

Xiaoqiao also said: "Uncle, don't you all hunt small fish?"

The adult laughed and said: "This little fish has no meat at all, and it is troublesome to make. It takes half a day to clean it. No one in this city will spend that kind of money to buy this little fish. We usually The ones that were too small were released, and the bigger ones were kept at home, and never sold in the market.”

"Then uncle, if there is such a small fish next time, can we keep it, we can buy it." Li Xia said.

The man quickly waved his hands, "Young man, let me tell you, don't waste the money, it's really not worth it. It's better to pay more for a bigger fish, at least it smells fishy, ​​doesn't it?"

Xiaoqiao felt that this person was nice, at least he agreed without hearing that he could exchange money, and persuaded him with empathy.

Li Xia also felt this way, so he said: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, I really need this kind of fish now. If you really have it, I will definitely buy it."

"That's right, uncle, next time you catch such a fish, keep it for us." Xiaoqiao said.

The uncle thought for a while and said, "You don't want to raise fish, do you? Our fish are not easy to raise."

Li Xia said: "Uncle's guess is really accurate. I want to raise fish. I just lack fry. So, Uncle said, Uncle is helping me. Moreover, my fish has already been sold, so I won't let you do business." Difficult to do." Li Xia also knew that this uncle must have some difficulties, if he raises fish and sells them here, it will be an extra competitor for them fishermen, and he can still have fish without much effort. Damn, if the uncle helped me, it would be a blow to them as well.

Although there are many places selling fish here, who would think that their territory is taken over by others.

After hearing Li Xia's words, the uncle was relieved. He was indeed worried about this. Not to mention anything else, they all have a circle of fish sellers. If he really helped this young man, let him He stole everyone's business, so he didn't have to hang around in this circle anymore.

If he sells his small fry, it will also be an income for him. "How much do you need?" The man finally let go, and Xiaoqiao was secretly happy.

"I only have one fish pond now, and I need about [-] fish fry. But I will open fish ponds one after another in the future. If the business is good, I will look for you every year. Uncle, I will buy as many as I have next time. "

The two discussed how to meet next time, and the uncle's surname was Fang, and his family lived by the Tunhe River. Tunhe River is a big river in Kang County, and the river in front of Yejiacun Village is probably one of it. small tributary.

Uncle Fang said: "I reckon that the more fish in the fishpond, the better. When the time comes, you won't be able to take it. Uncle promises that all the fish you will be given are alive and kicking, there is absolutely no problem."

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Fang. If Uncle is free in the future, he can go to my fish pond and give me pointers."

Those who have been fishing for a long time must know something about fish and can learn from it.

Uncle Fang smiled and said: "Success! I will definitely go and have a look at that time. You are a nice young man with a bright future!"

After finishing this matter, it seemed that it was already noon, so Li Xia took Xiao Qiao to the noodle stall for lunch.The money on your body should be used sparingly, and the family is not rich, so don't worry about restaurants or anything, and go to a noodle stall to eat a bowl of noodles for five cents, which is the right way.

This noodle stall is also clean, it is a husband and wife stall, Li Xia ordered two bowls of noodles, and seemed very happy because the things on his mind were gone.

Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Brother, you still look good when you're talking about business with others."

Li Xia said: "Don't say it, at first I was still beating my heart, fearing that others would say that I was a liar."

"Hey, it will be fine after the first time. Brother, I think you are amazing!" Xiaoqiao praised his brother without any effort. People need encouragement and praise.

"Lixia, Xiaoqiao, why are you two here?" When Lixia and Xiaoqiao looked up, they saw Cousin Yifan on the side of the road. "Sure enough, it's you guys. I thought I misjudged the person. Why don't you go home when you get to the county?"

Cousin Yifan is not alone, there is a young man in a white robe beside him, Li Xia hurriedly stood up and said: "Cousin, we are going to the fair today, we have nothing else to do, we will be back soon! "

"Then you can't eat here, follow me! Boss, this is their split money!" Feng Yifan immediately threw away ten yuan, and then pulled Lixia and Xiaoqiao away. Xiaoqiao felt sorry for that The bowl of noodles looks red and green, it looks delicious, but it doesn't reach your mouth.

But cousin Yifan led the two of them to a restaurant, and Ye Xiaoqiao felt that if he didn't eat that bowl of noodles, he wouldn't eat it.Hey, there will be better ones later.

When we arrived at the restaurant, after we sat down, Cousin Yifan patted his forehead and said to the man in white robe beside him, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce you, Mr. Qi, this is my cousin Lixia, cousin Xiaoqiao Lixia Xiaoqiao, this belongs to my cousin, my friend, Mr. Qi."

Na Qiyan nodded, Lixia and Xiaoqiao both called Mr. Qi.Feng Yifan hurriedly called Xiaoer over to order food, and said to Lixia and Xiaoqiao: "Since you don't want to go home, my cousin will treat you to a banquet today."Lixia, you can't do this next time, or your aunt will be sad when she finds out. "

Li Xia hurriedly said: "Cousin, we will be busy for a long time when we go to Auntie, it's too troublesome."

"Is your aunt afraid of trouble? You can't be like this in the future." Feng Yifan said.

"Then why does my cousin leave in a hurry every time he goes to my house? My parents keep you, but you don't stay." Xiaoqiao said.
