Chapter 15 Just good luck
Chapter 15 Just good luck
After saying hello to Zhang Fu, Jiang Xiaohe continued walking forward.
When we arrived at the low-lying area of the river, we saw some children from the village fishing in the river.
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and asked, "Did you catch any fish?"
One of the children pointed to a small puddle nearby. Jiang Xiaohe walked over and saw a few small golden crucian carps in it.
It seems that the resources in this river are good.
In ancient times, people could only rely on the mountains for food and the water for drink. She was also slowly thinking about what business she could do to make some money in this era.
She had read novels before, about things like pig offal and braised meat, but when she went to town yesterday, she saw that everything was available!
This is a difficult problem for her.
In fact, she didn't want to do any big business. As long as she could support her family and save some money, she could renovate the house. If she could earn more, she could buy some land and become a small landlord.
She continued walking forward. She remembered there was a reed marsh in the shallows ahead, so she wanted to see if she could find something to eat there.
When she arrived at the reed marsh, she first looked around the outside to make sure it was not big before she dared to walk in. If the reed marsh was big, she would not dare to go in, as she would not be able to get out and would be trapped inside.
As soon as she walked in, she heard a sound of calls in the reed marsh, and immediately a group of wild ducks flew up.
"Wow, there are so many wild ducks, there must be a lot of duck eggs in this reed marsh!"
I was in the mood, but after looking around, I found nothing!
I thought to myself: She was thinking too simply. There are so many children in the village. They spend the whole day either fishing and catching shrimps or wandering around the village. If there really were duck eggs in the reed marsh, they would have been picked up by those wild children long ago!
He shook his head in disappointment, turned around and wanted to stand up, but maybe because he had been squatting for too long, he felt dizzy. He steadied himself and felt that the original owner was very weak.
Turning around and trying to get out of the reed marsh, she inadvertently heard the sound of water and saw the reeds swaying violently. She thought, could she be so unlucky as to run into someone else's good fortune?
I wanted to leave, but I couldn't help being curious and a little scared. I walked over carefully and looked around secretly. There was no one there!
I felt even more frightened and was about to turn around and run away, but I heard the sound of water in the reeds again, and saw a golden fish tail!
His eyes lit up and he rushed over immediately!
There was only a small pool of water under the reeds, and there were several fish in the water! The big ones must have weighed three or four pounds!
I was secretly delighted, thinking I had made a fortune. It must have rained the night before yesterday, so the fish in the river swam over. It has been sunny these past two days, so the water level has receded, and that is why they were stranded!
She counted them and found eight fish! If she took them all back, she was afraid that her basket wouldn't be able to hold them all. Even if she could, the fish would be dead by the time she got back.
After thinking about it, he noted the location, turned around and ran to find Zhang Fu.
The group of children had all gone back, and it was getting dark. She saw Zhang Fu washing buckets by the river, so she hurried over and called out, "Dad, carry the bucket and come with me."
Zhang Fu saw that she was running out of breath and asked her hurriedly what happened.
Jiang Xiaohe looked around and saw that there was no one around, then she whispered, "I found several fish in the reed marsh ahead, but I can't take them away. Can you come with me and pick up the bucket?"
When Zhang Fu heard this, he hurriedly followed her. On the way, they met Zeng Hua again and asked them where they were going. Jiang Xiaohe did not hide anything and told him everything.
Zeng Hua was not envious, she just thought there might be only one or two things: "That's great, then you guys go and do your work, I'll go back first."
After saying that, she walked away with the basket on her back. Jiang Xiaohe saw that the basket was filled with pig grass.
When he arrived at the place, Zhang Fu took a look and showed an excited smile on his face: "Wow, there are so many, and they are so big!"
Not really.
Turning around, he went to the river, fetched two buckets of water, and Jiang Xiaohe quickly put the fish in.
The two of them then walked back home, but when they came out of the reed marsh, they were spotted by Li Taohua. Li Taohua first frowned, then suddenly smiled, thinking she had discovered something big, and turned back...
After walking a short distance, they saw a bunch of wild onions on the edge of the field. Jiang Xiaohe asked Zhang Fu to go back first and picked the onions herself before catching up.
When I got home, it was already dark and smoke was coming out of the chimneys of every household in the village.
Wang Qiuxia stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked in the direction they were coming from. Only when she saw their figures did she feel relieved and hurried forward.
Before she could speak, Zhang Fu said, "Move aside and don't block the road."
Wang Qiuxia hurriedly moved aside, and when she passed by him, she noticed that there was something in his bucket, but it was dark and she couldn't see clearly.
"What did your father pick from the bucket?"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and took Wang Qiuxia's arm: "Mom, let's go, let's talk when we get back."
As soon as she got home, the fish in the bucket was jumping around. Only then did Wang Qiuxia notice that it was a fish!
Wang Qiuxia's eyes lit up: "How could they catch so many?"
Zhang Fu wet his handkerchief with water, wiped his face, and replied with a simple smile: "Xiao He found it in the reed marsh."
Wang Qiuxia looked at Jiang Xiaohe.
Jiang Xiaohe nodded at her and then said, "It's just luck. Dad, Mom, I think we should send one to Uncle and Aunt, after all, they helped us today."
Zhang Fu nodded: "Send one over, and keep the rest well. We'll go to the market in two days and sell them in town!"
Since that was what she said, Wang Qiuxia found a basin, caught a fish weighing about two kilograms, and asked Zhang Fu to deliver it to Zhang Quan and the others.
I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. There was a lot of bone soup left from lunch, and people in the countryside didn't want to waste it, so I just boiled it, sprinkled cornmeal in it, stirred it evenly, and boiled it again. It was the family's dinner.
Zhang Fu came back from Zhang Quan's house. There was a bowl in the basin with a few corn cakes in it. He said awkwardly, "My sister-in-law brought it. I couldn't refuse it."
Wang Qiuxia gave him a reproachful look, but didn't say much.
Put the tortillas on the table as an extra dish.
After dinner, the family sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. Seeing the two old people resting, Jiang Xiaohe simply washed up and went to bed. Today was a tiring and exhausting day...
