Chapter 36: I’m just talking to you
After hearing this, Chen Yongwei thought for a while, "When I talk to you and my grandma, I'm not nervous at all. I can answer your questions normally."
"Then it's over!"
"Brother, why don't you go with me on the next blind date? I won't be nervous when you're here."
"I'm going with you. What if someone falls in love with me? When you find someone to go on a blind date with you in the future, you have to find someone who is not as good-looking as you and stay with you. This way, you can stand out..."
.......
Li Changle taught him all the things he saw in the short videos in his previous life. As for how much he could accept, it was up to him.
Chen Yongwei nodded repeatedly, feeling confident for a moment, "I remember, if my sister-in-law introduces me to someone, I will treat her as you, so I won't be nervous."
Li Changle rolled his eyes, "Don't think of her as me, think of her as your cousin, even your cousin."
"They don't like talking to me, so I don't feel nervous when talking to you..."
"Go away, why are you so disgusting?"
"I'll just think of them as you, what's so disgusting?"
The two quarreled all the way home, where they saw Zhou Ruonan weaving a net in the house and his two sons playing in the yard. When they saw them coming back, they all cheered and ran towards him.
Li Xiaozhou looked at the basket on his shoulder and said, "Dad, you're back! Did you catch a big fish?"
"Yes, there is a big snow eel and a lot of blue crabs!" Li Changle put down the basket on his back, "Go into the house and bring out the hemp rope to Dad, and we will tie up the blue crabs and send them to sell."
"I'll get it!" Li Xiaohai turned around and ran towards the house. As he ran, he happily said to Zhou Ruonan, "Mom, dad caught a big snow eel, and there are a lot of blue crabs!"
"I heard that!" Zhou Ruonan put down the shuttle and walked out, watching them take out the net bags in their backpacks, blue crabs, blackhead fish, stone fish...
When she saw the snow eel, she smiled happily and narrowed her eyes, "These all grew up in the woods?"
"Well! Take out the scale and let's weigh it before we go."
"Oh!" Zhou Ruonan went into the house to get a scale.
Li Xiaohai came out with a handful of hemp rope and put it aside, squatting there with Li Xiaozhou and watching them tie the blue crabs.
After Li Changle and Chen Yongwei tied up the blue crabs, they poured out the mullet fish and put it into a wooden basin. It looked like it weighed more than 20 kilograms, "Nan, we won't sell these mullet fish. You can wait for me.
Send half to Grandma Chen."
Chen Yongwei hurriedly said: "Brother, just ask my sister-in-law to send two over. My grandma said that there are too many dried fish at home, and the ones that can't be eaten are all bitten by insects."
Li Changle turned around and said, "There are worms in the dried fish, why don't you send them to the town to sell them for money?"
Zhou Ruonan also felt distressed and said: "Yeah, even if you sell it for one or two yuan, it's better than having worms!"
Chen Yongwei: "My grandma sold it in Sendan Town. She waited all morning and sold more than three kilograms for a total of only four or five cents. She has bad legs and feet, and I don't know how to sell. I haven't been there since then.
Already."
"I'm telling you, it's not easy to sell in Panzhen. If you want to sell dried salted fish, you have to send it to Lucheng or Tuxiaqiao!" Zhou Ruonan pointed to the mullet, "It looks good when it's dried. Fresh white ones can be sold for one dime and a half a catty, and fresh fish can be sold for up to seven cents a catty."
Li Changle thought that it had been a long time since he had gone back to see his mother-in-law with his wife, "Nan, please dry these out first, and when we get more fish back to dry, we will send them to Lucheng to sell together, and we can visit my mother-in-law by the way."
Zhou Ruonan nodded happily, "I plan to go back and visit her before school starts."
Li Changle nodded, "Okay, no matter how much dried fish there is or not, we will go."
Li Xiaozhou held his hand and said, "Abba, we are also going to grandma's house."
Li Xiaohai also looked at him, "I want to go too."
Li Changle waved his hand, "Okay, everyone goes!"
"Oh! We can also go to grandma's house!..." The two brothers hugged each other and jumped up happily.
Chen Yongwei looked at the two happy brothers and thought of the time he went to his grandmother's house with his mother-in-law when he was a child, and felt sad...
Li Changle washed his hands and turned around to see the dried mud on Chen Yongwei's hair, "Awei, go get some water and wash the mud off your head. You are so young and don't pay attention to your own image. You are so sloppy. You’re so sloppy inside, do you still want to find someone to marry you?”
"Brother, give me a piece of soap. I'll go to the well to wash it." Chen Yongwei scratched his head and said sheepishly.
Zhou Ruonan went into the house and took out a piece of soapberry, "Awei, use this to wash."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Chen Yongwei took the soap locust and the bucket to the well to wash his hair.
Li Changle and Zhou Ruonan put the cobia, stone fish, and Spanish mackerel in their back baskets and said to her: "Nan, please weigh the snow eels and blue crabs. I'll go change my clothes and come out, take out the buckets to put the snow eels, and Ah Wei went to town to sell fish."
Zhou Ruonan looked at him, "Why don't you go to Chenji to sell it?"
"I plan to go to Phoenix Restaurant..."
"It's good to go and have a look!" Zhou Ruonan also felt that the price offered by the big restaurant should be higher. Even if one pound was only sold for a dime more, ten pounds would be one dollar. It would take her a whole day to weave the net to earn so much.
Li Changle put on his shirt and pants for going out. Although they were worn for going out, they were just neat and not patched.
Chen Yongwei had already washed it, and Zhou Ruonan told the two of them that there were 29 blue crabs in total. After being weighed, they weighed 21 kilograms and 7 taels in total. The snow eel exceeded their expectations, weighing 13 and a half kilograms.
A snow eel weighing more than ten kilograms is not heavy at all, and a large one can grow to hundreds of kilograms, just like a big python.
Li Changle carried the bucket containing the snow eels and said to Zhou Ruonan's mother and son: "I sold the fish and went to the hospital to see my father before I came back."
Zhou Ruonan nodded and handed him the straw hat, "Be careful on the road."
Li Changle took it and put it on, "Let's go, be good at home and don't run around."
The eldest son nodded obediently, "Abba, come back soon!"
The younger son happily said: "Abba, sell more money to buy meat to eat."
"Okay, Dad will sell more money to buy meat." Li Changle walked in front carrying a bucket with snow eels, and Chen Yongwei picked up the basket on his back and chased him, "Brother, shall we take a minibus on the road?"
"Well! Take the minibus and get off at Fenghuang Street. Go to Fenghuang Restaurant first and ask." Li Changle fanned himself with his hat and walked towards the road under the bright sun. The wind blowing over him carried a heat wave. After a while, I was sweating all over my body.
He began to miss the electric cars of later generations, as well as the spacious and flat roads on which electric horses could run as fast as the wind.
As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the village, they saw Sister-in-law Li walking towards them with their three children, "Ale, how was the harvest of the ground cage you and Awei made last night?"
