Chapter 155 Catching Fish

"Is it really a red fish worth more than four pounds?"

Li Sixi couldn't help but smack her tongue. The average red carp weighs only one or two pounds, and these red carp weighs more than four pounds is not cheap.

"Yeah." Lu Quan shaved the two rice in the bowl, "One is more than four pounds and six pounds, and one is four pounds and two pounds. I guess it should be one male and one female.

"Be good, brother Lu Quan, you are so lucky. You can't sell 50 cents for this?" Ma Laoer's eyes turned red with envy.

"It's almost the same." Lu Quan swallowed the food in his mouth and responded vaguely, without intending to tell the truth.

The two red carp he caught were sold at a very good price, and they sold a whole tael of silver.

Lu Quan and Xiao Si met Ding Wu on the dock. When Ding Wu heard that he had caught two red carp, he said he would introduce him to the new son-in-law of the Li family in Jiangjiaba Town.

The Li family is a big family in Jiangjiaba, and the Li family's new son-in-law is the young owner of the grocery store in Nanyang County. The latter is Mr. Li's 60th birthday. Mr. Li's grandson-in-law wants to buy two red carp to please the old man. When he gets his new wife next month, the Li family may be able to give him more dowry.

The new son-in-law of Li's family touched the red carp for seven or eight days. Nanyang and Jiangjiaba both ran away but couldn't buy the red carp. He simply spoke in Jiangjiaba. If anyone caught the red carp for him, he would collect it for one hundred yuan per person.

When Ding Wu heard that Lu Quan had caught two red carp that were more than four pounds, his eyes were smiling and he kept calling me, Uncle Lu, so why is it such a coincidence!

The one who went to sell red carp with Ding Wu was Lu Jingge. The two of them didn't know how to fool them. When they came back, Lu Quan had a tael of silver in his arms.

Everyone heard that the red carp could really be sold for fifty cents, so they wanted to leave now.

Zhang San couldn't wait: "Brother Lu Quan, if you are tired, will my eldest son let you ride a boat? Let's leave now and you can still come back before dark."

"Yes, yes... we can just go to three boats, and we don't need to go all the boats. When the time comes, Brother Lu will rest."

"Then let's go now. Maybe we are all lucky and can catch two red carp by one person there. At that time, I will have to send it to Nanyang County to sell it, and maybe I can sell more than ten or twenty copper coins."

Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Lu Quan couldn't say he wouldn't go.

I can only tell everyone to go back and get the net first and prepare the things. He still has some things, and he will go there after he has explained it.

He had a lot of things to say to Mrs. Qiu, and the Lu Jingge spirit card in his arms also made him unable to sleep or eat.

After everyone left the Lu family's yard, Lu Quancai pulled Qiu into the room. He took out Lu Jingge's spirit sign: "Xiaoqing's mother, how do you do this?"

The black spirit card is engraved with large golden characters.

Mrs. Qiu didn't understand for a moment and was stunned.

She couldn't read, but Lu Feige and Xiaoqing and a few others had nothing to do during this time, and said they were teaching them to read. Qiu looked around a few times, but he didn't learn anything else, so he could read the word Lu.

She knew the word Lu, but she didn't know the word "王" (王).

"Whose spirit card is this?" Qiu glanced out the window and asked in a low voice, "Is it Xiao Si's biological father?"

The only person Qiu can think of Lu Yuanshan as the spiritual card that Lu Quan brought back from his arms.

"No, it's Xiao Si's."

"What?"

Looking at the name above, Qiu suddenly lost his voice.

Maybe when he thought of some taboos, Mrs. Qiu raised her hand to knock off the spirit card without hesitation and asked sternly: "Where did you get this?"

Lu Quan's face was also very gloomy: "It was in the Lu Clan Ancestral Hall, and it was placed under the tablet of the brothers in the Yuanshan Mountains, and put it with her two brothers."

What he didn't expect was that in order to please the Chen family, the clan even carved a spirit card, a girl who was not yet grown up.

You should know which family you are in, and there is no reason to engrave spirit cards for girls, let alone if Jade Ge is still a child.

"This... this thing cannot be kept." Qiu was so panicked that he picked up the spirit card and stuffed it into Lu Quan's arms, "Hurry, go and burn it quickly, oh... why did you bring it back?"

The voice behind was already a little sharp, and the tone was filled with complaints.

Lu Quan held the spirit card and was at a loss, even his voice became much lower: "I originally wanted to chop this thing, but on the way, I wondered if I wanted to find a Taoist priest to deliver it, or a temple for Niannian?"

After Lu Quan said this, Qiu was also confused.

She didn't understand either, and she felt that it was so unlucky that the spirit card was made before the person died.

Xiao Si is still so young, what if this hinders the child's life span?

"I can't let Xiao Si know about this. This child is smart. If I see this thing, I don't know what she thinks. I'll go back to find Li Banxian on the street to ask. We don't understand, so we can't do it. It's not good if we don't get in the way of the child."

"Everything is yours."

Lu Quan was naturally what Qiu said and what he did.

The couple discussed it, but it was hard to keep talking in the room with the door closed.

Not only did the child grow up, but there were two families living in the yard. It was always inappropriate to meet him.

As soon as they opened the door, Zhang Fugui, the eldest son of Zhang San's family, pushed the door and ran in: "Uncle Lu, everyone has arrived, my father and others are waiting on the boat?"

Lu Quan was so panicked that he stuffed the spiritual card in his arms to Qiu, and shouted to the yard and responded: "Hey, come."

He didn't have to clean up either. His boat just came back, and the nets and barrels were all on the boat, but they hadn't been brought back yet.

As soon as Lu Quan left, Qiu hurriedly found a piece of red cloth, wrapped the spirit sign in his arms, and circled around the room, wanting to find a place to hide it.

It's definitely not possible on the bed, and I don't want to do it on the table, in the box?

Mrs. Qiu walked to the box and stopped again, and could not put it in the box. Xiaoli has been following her elder sister and often goes to her box to flip through the rags. If Xiaoli sees it, no one will hide it from it.

After walking for a long time, I always felt that it was not good anywhere, so Mrs. Qiu ran to the kitchen with the spirit card in her arms.

There is a stove prince in the kitchen. If you put this spiritual sign in the kitchen, you will press it down. It is probably okay for the time being.

When Xiaoqing saw her mother entering the kitchen, she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong, do you want to boil water? Didn't my father go out?"

"I'll find something, don't worry."

While saying, Mrs. Qiu noticed the movement outside the door and stuffed the spirit sign wrapped in red cloth in her arms under the cracks of grass in the kitchen.

She was afraid that Xiaoqing and the others would burn it out, so she stuffed it into the corner and held another bundle of firewood. She hugged the fire-induced grass and pressed it on it.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Lu Xiaolimeng ran in recklessly, "Brother Fugui said that his father asked you to go to the town together, and said that he would ask you to buy something."

"I know."

Qiu thought Lu Quan asked her to go to Li Banxian to ask. She hurriedly took off her coat and dusted it off, then pursed her hair, then took her purse and followed Zhang Fugui to the dock.

Not paying attention at all, Lu Xiaoli culled her feet and sneaked into the kitchen and started rummaging.
