"Good girl, this is how you should live your life," the old lady said sincerely, with emotion in her tone.

Li Chenzhou smiled slightly.

"Mom, the vegetables are folded." The young woman came out of the vegetable garden carrying a basket full of vegetables, which looked very pleasing to the eye.

When Li Chenzhou saw these vegetables, he smiled and said, "Your vegetables are growing really well."

"If you like it, buy more." The old lady said with a smile.

"Okay! Give me three more of the same. There are many people in the family. If you have some radishes, give me eight more." Li Chenzhou agreed. The vegetables in the supply and marketing cooperative were terrible, and they were quite expensive.

; These people grow their own food and sell it now, so it is much fresher.

I bought all the vegetables from the supply and marketing cooperative, so there is no reason not to buy the good food here.

The old lady nodded happily. Their vegetable garden is big, and green vegetables usually grow quickly. Many of them can grow again, and they can grow into batches every other week. They can’t sell them all. They also make sauerkraut.

I’ve made several jars of it, and I can’t finish it no matter how much I make it. Now that people want it, they will naturally sell as much as they can.

The young woman went to the two vegetable fields again to select vegetables that grew better and brought them to Li Chenzhou.

Cheng Cuifen divided the dishes into portions, and she and Luo Hong only ordered three handfuls. The rest belonged to Shen Zhou, and Shen Zhou changed hands and put the dishes into the basket carried by Gu Xiangdang.

After settling the money, the three of them said goodbye to the old lady and her family and left with smiles on their faces.

Walking out of the alley, Cheng Cuifen pulled Luo Hong, who was smiling and squinting, "Stop laughing, be careful of being stared at; stop it, we have to buy fish and shrimp. Walk faster, otherwise the fish and shrimp will be sold out."

Luo Hong covered her mouth and laughed for a while before she stopped laughing, "Sister-in-law Cheng, I just can't help but think about having fun; I haven't had fresh food for several days, and I'm so greedy. I promise not to laugh. I promise not to laugh.

.”

"Just hold it back, look at this girl Shen Zhou, be careful." Cheng Cuifen glared at her angrily.

Luo Hong nodded seriously, "Well, I have to learn from Shen Zhou; Shen Zhou's stern face seems to be quite reliable at this time."

Li Chenzhou pursed his lips and smiled, returning to his stern expression.

Cheng Cuifen was angry and funny, "Have you ever said that about people? Shen Zhou has a good temper. What is a stern face? That's a dead face. Don't say that next time, it's so unlucky."

"I know, I know, sister-in-law, let's go quickly! It's not worth spending time here." Luo Hong was afraid that Cheng Cuifen would nag her again, so she quickly pulled her forward.

Li Chenzhou followed the two of them, his pace seemed gentle and slow, but in fact it was not slow.

Entering the crowd, Gu Xiangdang lifted his basket up so that no one could see the food inside; although there was an iron bucket to cover it, it couldn't be completely covered. When covering it, you not only have to take care of the basket, but also the food inside.

Li Chenzhou.

Gu Xiangdang walked one step behind Li Chenzhou, keeping a distance, neither too far nor too close; he also deliberately protected her so that no one would push her.

Following Cheng Cuifen and Luo Hong, they left the county town from the other side and came to the place where they bought fish and shrimp last time. Luo Hong and Cheng Cuifen turned around and pulled Li Chenzhou to knock on the door. After knocking on the door, everyone looked at each other and it went smoothly.

entered the yard.

Coyotito circled around the three of them, "Sister, my friends and I caught a lot of fish and shrimps from the river and fields yesterday. How many do you want to buy today? My parents have all fed them, and not a single one has died.

.”

"I need to buy a lot, Xiaozizi, where are your parents?" Luo Hong said softly.

"Dad has gone to the county town to go to the market. Mom is in the backyard. Come with me." Coyotito ran quickly, led them into the courtyard gate and shouted, "Mom, the sisters are here to buy fish and shrimp again."

When Xiao Xiaozi's mother, Mrs. Liang, saw them, her yellowish face lit up with a smile, "How many fish and shrimps do you want to buy today? I'll weigh them for you."

Cheng Cuifen took the lead and said: "I just want two kilograms of fish, forget the shrimps, I'm too lazy to take care of them." There's not much meat.

"One pound is enough for me," Luo Hong said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Liang smiled and nodded, "Where is this girl? How much do you want?"

Li Chenzhou asked: "How many fish and shrimps do Sister-in-law Liang's family have?"

"In addition to what Sister Luo Hong and Sister Cheng asked for just now, there should be about seven or eight kilograms of fish; there should be more shrimps, not many people want shrimps, they are troublesome to take care of, and there is not much meat. There are still about fifteen kilograms of shrimps.

It looks like Xiaozizi went to the river ditches and fields every day to fish for shrimps and saved a lot." Sister Liang's gentle smile made people couldn't help but get close to her.

"Then I want them all. Sister Liang, please weigh Sister Cheng and Luo Hong first!" After Li Chenzhou finished speaking, he took out the iron bucket from Gu Xiangdang's backpack, "I brought all the buckets, containing more than ten kilograms of fish and shrimps.

It should work.”

The capacity of iron barrels at this time was very large, not as small as the plastic barrels of later generations.

"Okay, you guys sit down for a while and I'll weigh you." After Mrs. Liang said that, she took action and moved two large tanks first, but it was a bit difficult for her, a woman, to move a large tank.

Li Chenzhou stepped forward to help. Sister-in-law Liang raised her head and smiled, "Thank you, sister."

"It should be." Li Chenzhou retreated to Cheng Cuifen.

Sister-in-law Liang smiled and fished out the fish and weighed them. She weighed them separately and handed them to Cheng Cuifen and Luo Hong. She turned around and picked up the rest and simply weighed the gross weight. "The fish weighs eight catties and four taels.

Count it as eight jins; the shrimp is fifteen jins and seven taels, so let’s count it as fifteen jins!”

Li Chenzhou said nothing, took the money and paid the bill in real terms.

"Sister, I told you that four taels and seven taels don't count; you can take this money back." Sister Liang counted some money and gave it back to her.

Li Chenzhou didn't answer, "Sister-in-law Liang, let's leave it as it is; besides, this was all found by the little kid when he went to the ditches and fields. I can't take advantage of the children."

Sister-in-law Liang accepted the money when she saw that pushing her further would hurt her friendship.

After Cheng Cuifen and Luo Hong paid the money, they said goodbye to Sister Liang and Xiao Xiaozi and left their home.

After leaving the house, Li Chenzhou looked at the fish and shrimp in the bucket and was confused, "What should I do with these? There are so many fish and shrimps, and today is the market time; it is easy to be discovered."

"I'm worried too!" Cheng Cuifen frowned, "Shen Zhou, do you think this will work? Didn't we buy a lot of seasonings? Gather the seasonings into a big bag and free up a backpack.

, specially put the fish, put the big bag on the iron bucket, this should be able to fool them."

Li Chenzhou thought it was feasible, "This is a good idea, let's do it like this; the iron bucket is a bit big, and Luo Hong's backpack is difficult to fit. Sister Cheng, I have to use your backpack."

"No problem." Cheng Cuifen quickly took off the basket and put the vegetables in it into the baskets carried by Gu Xiangdang and Luo Hong. The seasonings in Luo Hong's basket were taken out; they added the seasonings.

It didn't take much to get up, but Gu Xiangdang carried a lot of things in his basket.

Li Chenzhou pulled out a piece of gray cotton cloth from his pocket. The cotton cloth was folded and didn't look big in her hand; it could indeed be kicked in the pocket, "Use this."

Cheng Cuifen looked at the cotton cloth and said, "Sister, why are you still carrying such a big cotton cloth with you? What a pity it would be if you were right."

"It's okay, I just folded it and put it in my pocket when I was doing needlework last time; I forgot to take it out later. I only remembered it when the eldest sister said to use cloth to hold the seasonings." Li Chenzhou found an excuse.

Luo Hong gave her a strange look, "Why are you putting the fabric in your pocket if you have nothing to do?"

"When you have nothing to do, you can take it out for sewing!" In order to get the letter, Li Chenzhou also took out the needle and thread from the other end, "No, look, I have prepared these things."

"I can't tell you still have this hobby." Cheng Cuifen had no doubts, and Luo Hong was convinced by her reasons.
