Chapter 8: Hairy Taro

When we arrived at the kitchen, everyone had already picked up their own bowls, ate fish pieces, and drank fish soup.

Everyone has a piece of tilted fish and a piece of black fish in their bowls, and the other is a small fish and shrimp.

Xiao Nan did not make crayfish and loach. The amount was too small and there was not enough share, so he didn't do it. When will it accumulate too much and enough share, then do it.

After Huashuang drank the hot fish soup, she felt relieved all over. She looked at Huazhi, "Huazhi, when will we continue to attend class?"

"Let's go in a few days! I still have things to deal with. After the processing is finished, we will continue to attend class. Then I will speed up the class so that everyone can learn more knowledge in the shortest time."

The Hua family is really unfair to their children. Now only Hua Lei and Hua Bing from Uncle Fourth’s family are in school, but their grades are not good, so they are completely slack.

The others all learned from Huazhi after she came back.

But Huazhi's class progress was too slow before, and it took them two years to finish the second grade.

Huazhi decided to teach them again when the troubles were dealt with.

At that time, speed up and solve the courses for one grade in one month.

We strive to complete all the courses in primary, junior and senior high school before taking the college entrance examination next year, and then register for the college entrance examination.

After drinking a bowl of fish soup, Huazhi felt that her body was warming everywhere, which was so satisfying!

If you can eat like this every day, you will be able to keep your body healthy quickly and then you can do more things.

After all the younger brothers and sisters went to bed, Huazhi went out with an iron flashlight. She wanted to go to the river to confirm whether the "lotus leaves" were fur taro.

If so, you really won't have to go hungry anymore.

Before the flower branches reached the river, she saw a light by the river, but it was not the light of the flashlight, but the fire. She quickly turned off the flashlight and hid her position. After a while, she walked carefully to the river.

When I came to the river, I found it was Xiao Nan.

He held a torch in one hand and a basket in the other.

"Xiao Nan, what are you doing?" Huazhi walked to the beach by the river and asked in confusion.

Xiao Nan heard Huazhi's voice, a hint of nervousness rose in his heart. After adjusting his heart to jump around, he said, "Looking at you who caught two fish today, I feel that there should still be some fish in the river, so I wanted to come and try my luck and see if I could catch a few fish for some money. You also know that my dad sent back five dollars in a month, but my grandparents were both sick, and five dollars were not enough for home use."

Huazhi is very clear about the situation of Xiao Nan’s family, but because she is clear, she feels very sorry for Xiao Nan’s experience and situation.

Xiao Nan's mother died of dysfunction and bleeding when she gave birth to Xiao Nan's younger brother Xiao Yun. At that time, Xiao Nan's grandparents were in poor health, so they could not help Xiao's father take care of the child. Xiao's father had to bring his newborn fourth son to work and ask his comrade-in-arms' daughter-in-law who had just given birth to a child to help take care of him.

Later, Xiao Nan's grandparents became even worse and could not take care of three children. Xiao's father took over Xiao Nan's eldest brother Xiao Dong and second brother Xiao Xi, but he left Xiao Nan at a young age and asked Xiao Nan to take care of his grandparents.

Later, under the operation of Xiao’s father, Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi both entered the military camp and became soldiers who defended their country. Xiao Dong became a leader’s son-in-law. Xiao Xi didn’t know if he got married.

Because of the gap between urban and rural areas, the gap in identity, and the relationship between distance, Xiao Dong, Xiao Xi and Xiao Yun actually had no contact with Xiao Nan, only Xiao’s father sent back five yuan per month.

But for Xiao Nan and the others, this five dollars is like a drop in the bucket.

So Xiao Nan lived a very poor life, and Xiao’s father was really unfair to him. The three brothers lived a good life with their father, but they only left him in the countryside, but the treatment was not as convenient as that of theirs.

Xiao’s father had fatherly love for Xiao Nan, but it was definitely not much, and it was not even one thousandth of the same as he was for the other three children, because his identity and status must like promising children.

But Xiao Nan's mediocrity is definitely inseparable from his work.

"Xiao Nan, let's cooperate!" Huazhi turned on the flashlight and shone the light on the river surface, and could clearly see the small fish and shrimp.

Xiao Nan looked at Huazhi suspiciously, not understanding what she meant.

"I mean we two catch fish together, and then you go to sell fish, and we will share the money evenly after making money. After all, one person's strength is definitely not as powerful as two people, right?"

Huazhi walked over and took the basket in Xiao Nan's hand, then held the flashlight in one hand and the basket in the other hand, and shone the flashlight on the river surface. As long as a larger fish appeared in the aperture, she would use the basket to pass over.

I don’t know if it’s luck or what happened. Huazhi caught fifteen fish in less than half an hour, almost all of them were grass carp, black fish, and carp. They were not small in size, and the smallest ones were more than one pound.

"Huazhi, you are really amazing. I have been here for a while and I haven't seen a single fish." Xiao Nan was really impressed. It was obvious that he was taking advantage of his cooperation with Huazhi!

"You are using a torch, and the fire will move with the wind. The fish swam away in fear when they see it. Mine is the light of the flashlight, which is different." Huazhi doesn't think she is powerful, at most it's her own luck!

The most important thing is that it is summer now, and the weather is hot, and fish come out to cool off at night to find food, so it is easier to catch fish.

"Does this fish go to the purchase station to sell?" There is a purchase station in the town that collects various agricultural and sideline products, but the prices are very low, almost only a few pounds can be sold for a penny, which is not cost-effective at all.

If you send these fish there to sell, it would be better to keep them at home!

Huazhi shook her head, looking a little serious, "If we go to the purchase station to sell, then others will know that we are catching fish in the river. Those who are chasing nonsense will definitely say that the fish is collective, and if they catch it, they have to share the money for selling fish, or why do we do such thankless things?"

"Then..." Xiao Nan looked at Huazhi in confusion.

Huazhi continued, "Go to the hospital, because only the hospital has medical staff on night shifts, and the quality of medical staff is generally relatively high. In addition, their salary is high and they can afford it, and they will not be jealous of us, nor will they report us."

"We'll go to your house, change the basket to pack the fish, and go to the hospital to try it tonight to see if it can be sold." Huazhi suggested.

Xiao Nan nodded, and then the two went to Xiao Nan's house together. Huazhi kept the two largest fish and kept them in the bucket. Then, Xiao Nan carried a few fish and set off.
