The Lu family caught two buckets of long fish.

The news was like the wind, blowing by the wild pier. Those who were out collecting the nets had not yet returned. The women who were mending the fishing nets and taking care of their children at home heard the news first.

"Two buckets of long fish?"

Real or fake?

Some people didn't believe it, but some people had already stood up, stood on tiptoes and looked in the direction where the children were running.

If there were really two barrels of long fish, how much money would they cost?

Originally, this matter would not cause such a big fuss.

Early in the morning, Lu Quan agreed to go collect the eel cages with Xiao Si. Lu Xiaoli also wanted to follow, but Qiu didn't let him.

Because he did not go to collect the eel cages, Lu Xiaoli was waiting at the pier early in the morning.

When Lu Quan and Xiao Si came back with the buckets, Lu Xiaoli rushed over to take a look. He slipped and fell, causing Lu Quan to stumble. The bucket in his right hand was firmly on the ground, but the bucket in his left hand shook a little.

, five long fish of different sizes jumped out of the bucket.

When Lu Xiaoli got into trouble, he didn't dare to say anything and didn't even have time to cry. He rolled around and climbed up, and he and Lu Quan were busy catching long fish.

The long fish is very slippery and not easy to catch even on the shore.

When the father and son finally caught a long fish each and returned it to the bucket, Li Canguan, who was playing nearby, had already gathered around with several children.

However, there were still two long fish that slipped into the river along the grass beside the river bank and could never be found again.

"You said this..."

After finally sending away the group of people who came to see the fish, Qiu's expression changed. He grabbed Lu Xiaoli and took off his shoes and beat him.

Lu Quan said nothing with a cold face. This girl was getting more and more outrageous and she really deserved a beating.

Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Xiaoyu were so frightened that they huddled together tremblingly, not daring to move, let alone try to persuade them.

Lu Xiaoli got into too much trouble this time, and they all felt sad when they thought of Chang Yu running away.

Those are long fish. Two of them would cost at least ten or twenty cents if you go to Fushun.

Mrs. Qiu took off her shoes and slapped Lu Xiaoli's body a few times. The beatings made Lu Xiaoli jump in pain, but he gritted his teeth and did not dare to say a word.

She was indeed wrong in this matter, and it was not wrong for her to hit her.

"Mother, mother..."

Seeing that Qiu wanted to hit her, Lu Sheige rushed over and hugged Qiu's arm: "Mom, the second sister knows that she was wrong, please stop hitting her."

Both Qiu and Lu Quan have good tempers. Almost all children from poor families are not beaten. Only the Lu family has never lost their temper with their children.

This time, Qiu was really angry.

Not to mention that the long fish ran away, so many people knew that his family had caught two buckets of long fish and returned without asking. They also knew that it was related to the eel cage that Xiaosi carried out yesterday.

Yesterday, Xiao Si went to unload the eel cage without anyone on his back. Today, when the two men came back, Lu Quan was carrying the barrel and Xiao Si was carrying the eel cage. Everyone saw it.

As long as you are willing, it is not difficult, and sooner or later you will have to learn it.

"Tell me, do you think you should fight?"

The more Qiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She put down her shoes, wiped her face, and cried out.

The family is poor. Although the Ding family can make money from doing business, it still requires business and only takes 10%. This time, they finally found a way to make money, but this damn girl just slipped out.

Lu Quan felt unhappy, but when he saw Xiao Li being beaten, he was a little reluctant to bear it.

Lu Sheige pushed Lu Quan and winked at him: "Dad, go to Fushun and sell the long fish. Uncle Li and the others will collect the net and come back later."

The people who came to the boat to watch the excitement just now were all women and children. If he didn't sell it now, Lu Quan would not be able to leave when the men collecting the fishing nets came back.

When the time comes, these two buckets full of long fish will be even more mouth-watering.

Lu Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Xiaosi meant. He was honest after all. He picked up the bucket and turned back to look at Lu Sheige: "Xiaosi, what should I do with this loach?"

It is said that there are two buckets of long fish, but in fact there are also loaches and some small miscellaneous fish.

"Keep the loach at home to eat. Pick it out and raise it, spit out the mud, and you can eat it in two days."

Besides, let the loach stay and raise it in a wooden basin with some water. If someone comes and sees it, they may think that what the wife and children said is a bit exaggerated.

There are two buckets, isn't this? There are also loaches.

"Hey, keep it then."

Lu Quan simply obeyed Lu Shege's words.

Putting aside Lu Shengge's identity, in Lu Quan's eyes, Lu Shengge is nothing more than a child prodigy from now on.

Lu Xiaoqing saw that Mrs. Qiu was still crying, and Lu Xiaoli was kneeling straight and not daring to move. He gave Lu Xiaoyu a gentle tug. The two ladies slipped to the wooden basin and began to help their father pick up the long fish that he had poured out and put it back into the wooden barrel.

Lu Quan carried two buckets of long fish to the town, not daring to stop all the way and walking fast and hastily.

Aunt Li, who was originally waiting on the boat to talk to Lu Quan, called out to Lu Quan twice, but he didn't look back and just lowered his head and headed towards the town.

"Pooh."

Aunt Li was so angry that she spat into the water: "I just caught a few long fish with their tails raised to the sky."

The woman next to her immediately laughed awkwardly when she heard this. Are these some long fish?

That's two barrels, dozens of them, right?

Seeing Lu Quan come out of the cabin, Lu Xiangge nuzzled up to Qiu's side again: "Mom, the eel cage needs to be washed and dried, otherwise it won't be used at night. How about me and eldest sister going to wash it?"

She kept saying that she and her eldest sister were going to take a shower, but her feet didn't move, waiting for Mrs. Qiu to speak.

"No, I'll go wash it."

Mrs. Qiu wiped her face, put down her apron, and didn't even look at Lu Xiaoli.

She was worried about the two children doing their jobs, not because she was afraid that they would not be able to do well. But the eel cage had to be dried after it was washed, and it was not allowed to be placed on the bow of the boat to dry. If that shameless person came to the boat and took it, he would

Isn’t it true that the craftsmanship at home has been learned by others?

The child doesn't understand, but as an adult she knows it very well.

Lu Sheige immediately took Mrs. Qiu's arm and said with a flattering smile, "I'll accompany my mother."

Before leaving the cabin door, Lu Sheige winked at Lu Xiaoqing: "Sister, you and the second sister, don't forget to dig up earthworms."

You need earthworms when you lower the eel cage at night, otherwise the fish will not stupidly dig in.

The couple left the cabin, leaving only the three sisters inside, and Lu Xiaowu babbling in the cradle.

"Pap" a drop of tear fell on the board of the ship, followed by another drop and another.

Lu Xiaoli couldn't bear it anymore and collapsed on the ground, hugging his knees and sobbing loudly.

"mother."

Seeing that Mrs. Qiu was just brushing the eel cages and ignoring her, Lu Sheige simply took off his shoes, sat on the side of the boat, rolled up his trousers and got ready to play in the water.

"Who asked you to play in the water? Put it on."

Mrs. Qiu raised her hand and patted Lu Sheige on the back, then glared at her angrily: "You are still young and cannot bear the cold."

"All right."

Determined to be a child who would not let Mrs. Qiu worry about, Lu Sheige got up obediently, put down his trousers and put on his shoes.

"These two girls... are getting more and more outrageous." Qiu sighed: "Xiaosi, you..."

She wanted to say, don't argue with your second sister.

But as a mother, she really couldn't say this. How old is Xiaosi and how old is Xiaoli?

How could she raise such an ignorant daughter?

Thinking about it, Mrs. Qiu felt uncomfortable and angry.

I really feel wronged to this child, Xiaosi, what a good child, who used to live a life of fine clothing and fine food, but suffered hardships in her family, but never said a word.
