Chapter 22 Sister 2 sells fish

Just as he was thinking about it, two bicycles came speeding towards him. Doctor Li waved to the two men, and the two men on the bicycles ran towards the backpack without even stopping their bicycles.

After the two came, they asked Doctor Li anxiously:

"Director Li, what about this fish?"

"Okay, Lao Wang, you discuss the specific matters with this female comrade, I won't get involved."

After saying that, he left the two of them and came to Zhang Xingwang, who was smoking. He lit a cigarette and started to get close to Zhang Xingwang.

When Zhang Xingwang first heard that Doctor Li was actually the director, he was shocked. He turned around, gave his second sister an encouraging look, and started talking to Director Li.

Second sister Zhang Pandi had no choice but to force the issue. From time to time, I watched second sister and the buyer talk about the price. Second sister started out stuttering and not being able to express herself clearly, but later she argued with them.

Although he still spoke slowly, one word at a time, he could at least say a complete sentence.

Zhang Xingwang also felt relieved after his worry. He mourned for the two purchasing managers. They probably had never met such difficult people to communicate with.

After eavesdropping for a while, I suddenly found it funny. No matter what the two of them talked about, the second sister basically only said two sentences: "No" or "Yes".

It turns out that only magic can defeat magic. No matter how eloquent you are, it is useless when you meet your stubborn second sister.

In the end, the two of them still smiled and reached a consensus with the second sister, 86 cents per pound. They took out a beam scale from the back seat of the car. They kept three of the eight or nine pounds for themselves, and the rest weighed pounds.

The total was just over 36 yuan. The other party was considerate and gave me 37 yuan. After paying, he left in a hurry. It was said that the staff in the cafeteria were working overtime today, waiting to pick up the fish.

Even the purchasing notice is issued on the spot after the fish are weighed. It turns out that it takes professionals to do professional things.

Seeing my second sister handing over the money and notes with excitement, it is true that money makes people happy.

I suddenly felt that this trip was really worth it and I made some money. I think my second sister's life will change a little bit through this incident.

We reached a friendly consensus with Director Li on the subsequent intermittent supply, and then we said goodbye to each other and went home.

It was already dark when I arrived at the gate, but I didn't see the third uncle guarding the gate. When I passed the middle courtyard, I ran into Qin Huairu washing dishes. I casually greeted her and continued on my way, not paying attention to the cursing mutterings coming from Zhang in the back room, probably staring at her daughter-in-law.

After entering the house, several women in the family anxiously helped the second sister take off the backpack, apparently preparing to go out to sell the fish.

The elder sister looked at the three fish in the basket and said with a hint of disappointment:

"Why is there such a big difference between today and yesterday?" Then he looked carefully again.

"These are three big fish. They will last us for several days."

Zhang Xingwang then said to the noisy elder sister:

"What do you mean several days? We will eat them all tomorrow, and today is also a great harvest. You can ask my second sister and you will know."

After saying that, she called on her fourth sister to serve him rice. It seemed that the eldest sister had gained something today and got some millet, so the rice served to him was also millet rice.

Ignoring the resentful look in her second sister's eyes, she lowered her head and went to eat.

At this time, the women in the family had surrounded my second sister, asking her what was going on.

The second sister also went from being silent at first to eloquently talking about what happened today.

Listening to the slow voice of her second sister Zhang Pandi, the eldest sister was anxious. The fourth sister, who had a strong desire for knowledge, felt like she was being scratched by a cat in her heart, but she could do nothing about her second sister. It was really a mixture of pain and happiness.

The second sister didn't finish telling the story until Zhang Xingwang finished his meal. It was obvious that the eldest sister and the fourth sister breathed a sigh of relief.

After a short rest, I resisted the urge to sleep and walked towards the third uncle's house. Just as I was about to knock on the door, I saw the third uncle holding a fishing rod with a tired face and pushing a bicycle into the yard.

After entering the house with the third uncle, the third uncle handed the two crucian carps in his hand to the third aunt and turned to ask:

"You came to me to ask about your sister's schooling, right?"

"Isn't it? The little girl is waiting anxiously. Why don't you ask the third uncle if there is any news?"

"I called my sixth grade homeroom teacher, and he said he would give me a definite answer on Monday, so it should be close to the answer."

"That's good. I have specially prepared some things and am waiting for you to get them ready. The two of us will celebrate for my little sister."

"You are a good boy who knows the rules and can talk. Just wait."

"Then I'll go back first and won't delay your meal."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, heading home.

At this time, the third aunt brought the meal, and the third uncle said to the third aunt while eating:

"This kid is very smart. I left him alone for a while, but he still said he would thank me after he got it done. It seems that it's not easy to take advantage of this kid."

"Isn't he anxious to come to you?"

"That's just what they said. Think about it, her sister has to go to school sooner or later, it's just a matter of two days earlier or later. If I don't reply, she might find someone else, and then all my efforts will be in vain."

Zhang Xingwang returned home and told his fourth sister to get ready. If nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to go to school next week. He also gave his eldest sister five yuan and asked her to buy school supplies for his fourth sister.

I have only used the space to fish seven times today, and now I am so sleepy that I can't even open my eyes. I don't have time to pay attention to the women's questions, so I just fall asleep.

The next day, when he opened his eyes, he found that it was almost noon. There were 9 kilograms of potatoes in the space. It seemed that even Brother Lian Tong failed to wake him up this time.

After some mental calculation, it seems that I cannot overdraw my mental strength continuously, so I have to take my time in fishing.

I'll just take this opportunity to visit my grandfather and grandmother. People need a balance between work and rest, and recently, I've been living a more tiring life than working 996.

After getting up and washing up, he went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative with the excited little girl in his arms. Now the little girl is so attached to him that she tells everyone she sees that my brother is awesome.

Holding the chubby little girl in my arms, I entered the supply and marketing cooperative and bought her half a pound of White Rabbit snacks. The little girl ate the White Rabbit snacks happily and didn't dare to speak until she left the house, for fear that the sweet taste in her mouth would disappear.

I bought a few large bags of snacks, towels, soap, etc., and thought about it. I still had two wine tickets, so I bought two bottles of Fenjiu under the salesperson's gaze that said, "This kid will be beaten to death when he gets home." I went home with my little baby in my arms.

After lunch, the fourth sister said something and left with the second sister at noon. The second sister now became Zhang Xingwang's caregiver. Even the things brought for grandparents were in the backpack carried by the second sister.

In the words of the fourth sister, he has a weak body and is too delicate.

The reason is that I caught two fish and had a heat stroke all day, and I almost couldn’t get out of bed today.

He rolled his eyes at that, but he had no choice but to let his second sister carry him.

When we arrived at the village, we happened to see the workers getting off work. As the harvest time was approaching, everyone had smiles of anticipation on their faces. There were also more laughter and joy in the village.

"Oh, my grandson is here to see me again."

The old man's voice came from the crowd.

Zhang Xingwang walked over and looked at the dusty old man with a smug look on his face:

"Grandpa, let's go home quickly. I brought you something good."

"Tsk tsk, uncle, you are enjoying the filial piety of your grandson."

The village chief, Uncle Yougen, said jokingly.

The old man smiled and boasted:

"My grandson is very successful now, and I, an old man, can also benefit from it."

After saying this, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren went home.
