Because Xu Tongdao was angry, when the three brothers and sisters had breakfast together, Xu Tonglu no longer dared to say anything about going out to make money.
He just lowered his head and drank the porridge silently.
By the way, although his family has been having a hard time recently, the food on the table these days is not bad. In addition to pickles, there are also braised fish and shrimp paste made with chili sauce and river shrimp.
These dishes go very well with rice porridge, and the three brothers and sisters drank it very much.
"How much did the river shrimp cost yesterday?"
While picking up the dishes, Xu Tongdao asked his sister casually.
"Oh, because we wholesale to sell aquatic products, the price is cheaper, six yuan per catty, total sold for 26 yuan, the money is all here."
Ge Yuzhu explained while digging money out of his trouser pocket.
After finishing speaking, several crumpled banknotes were placed in Xu Tongdao's hand. Xu Tongdao glanced at them, hummed, and stuffed them into his pocket.
Although they only sold for 26 yuan, he was not too disappointed. After all, those river shrimps yesterday were just the harvest of yesterday afternoon. Apart from the ones sold for money, they still had some small river shrimps left. Not only did he keep them for his own family
Some were made into shrimp paste and half was given to Xu Tonglin.
Today, he can go out and farm shrimp all day long, and his harvest may be doubled.
In this era when ordinary laborers can only earn about 20 yuan for a busy day, if he can earn 40 or 50 yuan a day, that would be good.
After stuffing the money into his pocket, Comrade Xu asked casually: "Have you made an appointment with him by the way to wholesale all the river shrimps we get in the future?"
Ge Yuzhu hurriedly replied: "Yes, we have made an appointment. We have made an appointment."
"Well, that's good!"
Comrade Xu smiled with satisfaction.
…
After the meal, Comrade Xu accompanied him with some bait, and then went out with his brother and sister with shrimp buns, buckets and other items. At present, he still lacks the capital to start the skewers business, so he plans to cook skewers every day in the next few days.
I go fishing for river shrimp during the day.
Along the way, people in the village saw them, and from time to time someone made fun of them.
Such as: "Huh? Xiaodao, Yuzhu, are you going to release shrimps? Are you planning to go to Xihe to release shrimps?"
"Hey! Yuzhu, do you have any fish to sell today?"
"Hey, you three are going to get shrimps, right? If you get them, can you sell me half a catty? Haha."
…
Along the way, Comrade Xu rarely spoke and usually just smiled. Most of the time, it was his sister Ge Yuzhu who responded to the villagers with a clear voice.
When passing by the door of Ge Xiaoyu's house, Ge Xiaotian, who was squatting at the door playing marbles, saw the shrimp buns carried by Comrade Xu and others, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Ge Xiaotian, who has not been very bright since he was a child, has an extremely enthusiastic personality and a strong curiosity. No, when he saw Comrade Xu and his friends, he immediately got up and trotted over, and walked to Comrade Xu with great interest, curiously
Question: "Xiaodao, Xiaodao, are you going to put the shrimp buns? Where are you going? Can you take one with me? Can I go and help you?"
Because the two families live relatively close together, because of Ge Xiaotian's enthusiastic personality, and because Xu Tongdao was interested in his sister Ge Xiaoyu in the past, Xu Tongdao had always had a good relationship with Ge Xiaotian in the past.
Even now, when Tongdao Xu was reborn and saw the enthusiastic Ge Xiaotian again, he still smiled, nodded and said: "Okay, then you can come together!"
Maybe deep-minded people like simple-minded people! Comrade Xu felt a lot more relaxed when he saw the passionate yet simple Ge Xiaotian.
Along the way, Ge Xiaotian opened his mouth and almost kept asking, now asking this, now asking where. For example, he blinked his big eyes curiously and asked Xu Tongdao if he really didn't plan to go to high school?
For example, he asked Tongdao Xu if it was dangerous when Xu Tonglin fell into the water the night before yesterday. He even curiously asked Tongdao Xu if he gave Xu Tonglin artificial respiration...
Successfully made all three brothers and sisters of Xu Tongdao laugh.
Not long after, a few of them came to the place where the shrimp dumplings were placed yesterday, and then they worked together to put the shrimp dumplings. About half an hour later, Xu Tonglin came over just like yesterday.
A dozen shrimps were harvested under the operation of five people, and the harvest was gratifying. Every time he saw a big river shrimp caught, Ge Xiaotian would scream with joy.
In the bucket brought by Comrade Xu, there were more and more river shrimps, large and small, so gradually, a smile appeared on Comrade Xu's face.
At about 10 o'clock in the morning, a trailer boat equipped with a diesel engine drove past the middle of the river. It was a wooden boat with a black roof. Tongdao Xu, who had grown up by the West River, was no stranger to them. They used to
I have also sat on them.
The roads in the countryside are not easy to walk these days. They are all dirt roads, not wide, and not flat. Especially on rainy days, when people leave countless deep footprints on the muddy roads, it becomes even more difficult to walk.
It is more than twenty miles from them to the county seat. In weather like this, which is always raining recently, if you want to walk to the county seat, you will be exhausted halfway.
Fortunately, the West River next to their village is wide and deep, and it goes straight to the dock of the county town.
As a result, the ebony wooden boat with a diesel engine and a propeller came into being. It carried people and goods in this West River. If you take this boat to the county seat, it is fast and stable. You can also enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river along the way. It is deeply loved.
Loved by many children.
For example, when Xu Tongdao was a child, he liked to take this wooden boat with his mother to the county town. He really liked riding this boat. Every time he followed his mother to the county town, he didn't want anything. When he was hungry, his mother asked him what he wanted to eat.
And always just a bowl of noodles.
But more than ten years before his rebirth, this kind of ebony wooden boat in Xihe was almost extinct.
Because at that time, the road from their village to the county seat had been repaired, and the whole journey was a flat and clean cement road. At that time, people already preferred taking buses to the county seat, which was fast and cheap. Gradually, the river
This kind of ship is no longer seen.
So when he saw such a boat passing by the river, Comrade Xu smiled with emotion. He missed the feeling of riding this kind of boat to the county town with his mother when he was a child.
"Eh? Cao Xin? Cao Xin! Cao Xin!! You're here again..."
Comrade Xu suddenly heard Ge Xiaotian next to him yelling at the ebony wooden boat.
Cao Xin?
This name was not unfamiliar to him. The moment he heard the name, Xu Tongdao's mind came to a girl with a petite figure, delicate facial features, and two deep dimples on her cheeks when she smiled. He also remembered that this girl's skin was particularly white.
Before he went out to work before he was reborn, he was the girl with the fairest skin he had ever seen.
There is no one!
And this girl Cao Xin... is the niece of Xu Weizu's wife Cao Xiaomei.
The morning before yesterday, when he was selling snakeheaded fish and turtles to Xu Weizu, when he saw Xu Weizu's wife, Cao Xiaomei, he thought of her niece, Cao Xin.
Didn't expect she would come today?
Xu Tongdao squinted his eyes slightly and followed Ge Xiaotian's line of sight. Sure enough, he saw Cao Xin in a black dress standing on the bow of the wooden boat. Against the background of the black dress, her skin looked whiter and whiter. Looking at her
, Xu Tongdao subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his sister Ge Yuzhu.
One is dazzlingly white, the other is gleaming black, they are two extremes.
