59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

Old Zheng looked at the fishes swimming in the bucket with joy, and an even brighter smile instantly bloomed on his face.

Before he could thank Chen Feng, he enthusiastically called out to the professor from the Academy of Drama who was having lunch with two colleagues nearby, "Professor Wang, look at the carp and crucian carp jumping around here. They look like they were all freshly caught from the river!"

"Well, would you like to pick one of these to try?"

Professor Wang, who was originally concentrating on his meal, immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and trotted over when he heard that it was a live fish.

When he saw the fish swimming happily, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, not bad! Braise the carp for me, and make fish soup out of the crucian carp so I can take it home later."

However, before Lao Zheng could respond, Mr. Zhu, who had already ordered his dishes and was sitting not far away, interrupted, "You can't keep all the crucian carp. I want some crucian carp soup, too!"

Professor Wang turned to look at Mr. Zhu and said with a little surprise, "Comrade, this fish is not cheap. Besides, you have three generations of grandparents and two children. Can you finish the fish soup?"

Professor Wang visits this restaurant almost every day at noon, and Mr. Zhu and his three generations of family are also regular customers here.

Although the two sides had not had much communication before, they were familiar with each other due to frequent encounters.

Facing Professor Wang's question, Mr. Zhu replied calmly: "What's the problem if you can't finish it? Just pack it up and take it home!"

Hearing this, Professor Wang was speechless.

Isn’t this what I just said?

"Carp is 1.2 jin, and crucian carp is 9 liang. Xiaofeng, carp is one yuan per jin, and crucian carp is one yuan and five yuan per jin. How about that?" Zheng Erniu asked after weighing the weight.

"Okay." Chen Feng nodded.

He doesn't care about a small matter of one or two dollars.

The two little girls, Chen Li and Zhu Zhu, were looking at the fish and whispering to each other. Chen Li said that they must have bigger fish at home, and Zhu Zhu said that she liked to drink fish soup.

I don’t know how the two little guys can be talking so happily when they are talking about different topics.

"Two dollars and fifty-five cents. Keep it." Zheng Erniu handed the money to Chen Feng.

"Lily, your elder brother made money again!" Zhu Zhu looked at the two dollars Chen Feng collected with envy. As a child, she only had one or two cents at most.

Adults wouldn't give her too much money, lest she lose it or get cheated.

Chen Li is in a similar situation.

But she has one advantage: her brothers are her backup wallets. As long as she is well-behaved and pleases them, Chen Feng and the others will satisfy her little gluttony.

In this respect, Zhu Lin, who is also very poor, cannot compare with Chen Feng, Chen Hao, Hu Bayi and Wang Fatty.

After all, Chen Feng could make a lot of money by taking them hunting and fishing, so he was willing to spend a few cents.

If they only have a few cents and they spend it all, it would be a pain!

"Hehe, the money from my big pot is my money. I will buy ice cream in the afternoon." Chen Li said happily.

Two old guys were fighting over the fish nearby, and they reached an agreement after a few words.

Professor Wang gave half of the braised carp to Zhu Lin and the others, and also gave Professor Wang one third of Mr. Zhu's fish soup.

"Comrade, if you have live fish in the future, you can come to the Performance Department of the Drama Academy to find me. My name is Wang Yu." The old professor said to Chen Feng, "I guarantee that the price is very fair."

"Okay, professor." Chen Feng nodded with a smile.

He decided that next time he went to the Central Academy of Drama, he would bring Fatty Wang and Hu Bayi with him to see the place and let them know the beauty of our oriental beauties.

So that one of them wouldn't be unable to walk after seeing a beautiful woman, and the other wouldn't have to marry in the United States.

After they finished eating the ice cream, Chen Feng put the bucket in the carriage and asked Zhang Haixing and Chen Li to go up first. They hung the bicycles at the rear of the carriage and tied them up with a rope.

"Grandpa Zhu, Zhu Lin, Zhu Zhu, Uncle Zheng, Professor Wang, we are leaving first."

"Okay, walk slowly!"

I rode the tricycle and waded through the water to go home.

Four-year-old Chen Li was becoming more and more active. She couldn't sit down at all. She stood in the car, lay on the bicycle, and stretched out her hands to catch the rain.

Having a lot of fun alone.

Zhang Haixing leaned against the carriage, watching the little girl playing in the water with a smile.

Chen Feng looked back and asked, "Did you play like this when you were a kid?"

Zhang Haixing recalled: "When I was a child, my family lived in the Northeast. It often rained in July and August, and it would rain heavily for several days at a time."

"At that time, what I liked most was to stay with my mother under the eaves and listen to the clear sounds of the bells under the eaves in the wind and rain."

Chen Feng did not ask any further questions. It seemed that the endings of the Zhang family's side branches in the late Qing Dynasty were not very good.

Zhang Haixing's parents are both gone. Judging from the longevity of the Zhang family, it is definitely not a natural death. It is very likely that something happened.

"Sister, I have a bell that my second uncle gave me." Chen Li suddenly turned around, lay on Zhang Haixing's thighs, and said, "Let's hang it up together, okay?"

Zhang Haixing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Guo Chunhua came out in person to see the old man who was buying fish out. Seeing Chen Feng riding a tricycle over, she took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Chen Feng, Grandpa Chen's eldest grandson. The fish today were caught by the children following him to the park."

The old man smiled and said, "I know, I know. He's the grandson of Doctor Chen. He can read and dispense medicine, and he can go hiking and swimming. He's the most talented boy in Nanluoguxiang."

Chen Feng smiled awkwardly and greeted: "Hello, Grandpa!"

"Hello, grandpa!"

The little girl's shouting in the carriage scared the old man.

In order to prevent the old man from noticing, the little girl reached out from behind Chen Feng and shook him hard.

"Grandpa, I'm in there."

She has received many gifts from guests, and now she has learned to be smart and takes the initiative to act cute and adorable.

Maybe there will be some extra gains!

"Haha, what a sensible and pretty little girl."

The old man was obviously not an ordinary person, otherwise Guo Chunhua would not have personally escorted him out with an umbrella. When he saw such a cute little girl, he politely greeted her and, in accordance with Chinese custom and tradition, took out a bag of candies from his pocket and put it in Chen Li's hand.

When elders meet a child for the first time, they often give him or her a small gift as a greeting.

Poor families do not have the means, so they may give visiting children wild fruits or dried sweet potatoes, etc.

Of course, not everyone gives it, it depends on each family’s mood, relationship and personality.

"Thank you grandpa, you are so nice!" The little girl's mouth was as sweet as if she had eaten honey!

The old man was very happy.

"Grandpa, why don't you get in the car? I'll take you back."

Chen Feng is a person who respects me a lot. The old man is good to his sister and he is not stingy.

It’s just a few steps away.

"No, no, I live in front, just a few steps away." The old man said, pointing to a large courtyard not far ahead.

"Oh, okay then, grandpa, come to my house often when you have time." Chen Feng saw that they were indeed quite close, so he was not overly polite.

Chen Li received the benefit, so she naturally performed better. She enthusiastically invited him loudly, "Grandpa, I have a stone man and a football at home. We can play together."

Is this girl trying to replicate Li Yunlong’s great victory last time?

Chen Feng looked at the little girl and always felt that his sister was increasing her skill points abnormally!

"Haha, okay, I'll come and play with you when I'm free."

It can be seen that this old man is also a child slave.

"Goodbye, Grandpa!"

"Goodbye little girl."

When he returned to his yard, Fatty Wang was not there. He must have gone to show off his "results" to his mother.

Without letting Zhang Haixing and Chen Li come down, he pushed the cart directly over the threshold and under the eaves of the main hall.

After taking the bicycle down, Zhang Haixing and Chen Li followed.

"Brother, let me tell you, my sister and I just went to eat ice cream!"

As Chen Li spoke, her face was filled with unconcealable excitement and pride, as if she had eaten some rare treasure.

Chen Hao, who was standing aside, deliberately raised his head high, looking proud and complacent.

He slowly took out six crumpled dollars from his pocket and shook them in his hand as if he was showing off his treasures.

It was as if what he had was not just six dollars, but a mountain of gold and silver.

The little girl widened her eyes!

"Oh, sister, do you know? I went fishing with my big brother today! We caught a lot of fish, and we actually made six dollars from selling them!"

Chen Hao deliberately raised his voice by an octave, fearing that others would not be able to hear his so-called "great achievements".

"It's a pity that it's not even enough to buy a tub of ice cream. What do you think I should do?"

KO!

Chen Hao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Come on, let’s hurt each other and see whose knife is longer and sharper!

Little girl, you still want to fight with your second brother!

"Mom, let me tell you, my second brother has a lot of money, lots and lots of money!"

The little girl ran all the way to the kitchen and told the secret to her mother in front of Chen Hao!

It is hard to say whether the little girl deliberately took revenge on her second brother. After all, in most cases, children generally like to tell secrets to adults and win their favor.

But it is indeed a bit unsportsmanlike!

If you lose, can you still find external help?

"Lily, don't talk nonsense, I have no money, I'm poor, really poor!" Chen Hao shouted hurriedly.

Great!

Chen Hao looked at the money he took out and wanted to slap himself.

I agreed to keep a low profile and not tell anyone that I made money selling fish, but why can’t I control my mouth?

The old man's mouth twitched.

Chen Hao’s income in the past two months is almost higher than that of an average worker.

"That's the money your second brother earned himself." Zhou Qing wanted to confiscate it, but the old man wouldn't let him, saying that Chen Hao was now qualified to use the money he earned himself, so he had to give up the idea.

"Then can you please give my money back to me?" The little girl was not surprised but happy.

She was still thinking about the New Year's money that was "kept" by her mother.

"No, you're too young. Wait until you're nine years old!" Zhou Qing rejected the little girl's "reasonable request" outright, but was still kind enough to give a deadline.

The little girl opened her eyes wide, looked at her mother in disbelief, and then... she burst into tears out of anger!

"Wow, wow, big pot, my mother is bullying me again!"

He turned around angrily and ran to Chen Feng for comfort.

The old lady, Zhou Qing, the old man, Chen Hao, Hu Bayi, and Zhang Haixiong were all amused by her.

Chen Hao laughed so hard that he twitched, muttering, "It's in my mother's pocket, and I want to take it out again, how is that possible!"

Seeing him smile, Hu Bayi couldn't help asking, "It seems like you all swore together in the supply and marketing cooperative that whoever tells others about the sale will be beaten a hundred times by everyone."

Chen Hao: “…”

Yes, under Chen Hao's clever suggestion, they thought that a double attack by the cursed father and mother was not threatening, and it would be more feasible for them to beat them up a hundred times together.

"Yiyi, you won't betray me, right?"

Hu Bayi laughed when he heard this and said, "Of course I won't tell anyone, but it's hard to tell Aunt and Lily, especially Aunt. She might tell the neighbors that her second son is now capable and can sell fish for a few dollars."

Chen Hao looked at the money in his hand and then looked around.

He was wondering if he could defeat the six friends combined.

Well, the main enemy is still Fatty Wang. Jiang Hongjun’s five men are all useless and can’t withstand a few moves from him.

"Forget it, I'll buy them each a popsicle as an apology!"

He didn't know. Zhou Qing didn't need to say much. When Jiang Hongjun returned home and changed his clothes, his mother found the money on his clothes and didn't say anything.

His own mother was a dictator and confiscated all his property by force, leaving him only 1.5 cents as a reward for his hard work.

Comrade Xiao Jiang is crying even harder than the little girl now!

"Big Pot, my mother bullied me again!" The little girl ran into the study with tears in her eyes and rushed into Chen Feng's arms to complain.

Chen Feng suppressed his laughter and said, "Okay, stop crying. Mom said she would return it to you when you are nine years old, so she will definitely return it to you. Otherwise, grandma and grandpa will be angry."

"Really?" The little girl looked at him straight in the eyes.

"Really." Chen Feng said with a smile.

The little girl suddenly started crying again.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"What's wrong again?" Chen Feng asked while hugging her.

"I, I forgot how much money my mother owed me!" The little girl cried very sadly. "What should I do?"

Well, that’s a big question!

I don’t know how much money I owe and how much I have to pay back when the time comes. I still have the final say.

Chen Feng looked at the little girl and thought to himself that this girl was very smart when it came to money!

"Okay, okay, it's just a few dollars. When you are nine years old, I will take you to the mountains to hunt. You can make dozens of dollars a month, hundreds of dollars a year, and then you can buy whatever you want."

"Really?" the little girl asked while sobbing.

"Really? Look at your second brother. He goes hunting in the mountains and fishing in the park with me and makes a lot of money." Chen Feng made big promises to the little girl.

Fish is very expensive now, and disasters and border defenses have increased the scarcity of supplies.

After a few years, there were no more natural disasters or foreign enemies.

But the wind has risen, and production across the country is in chaos. Materials are still scarce, but there are some risks in unplanned purchasing, mainly because the person in charge of purchasing may be labeled a corrupt official, making it difficult to sell at a high price.

"Big pot, then I will go up the mountain every day to catch rabbits, wild boars and deer to eat." Chen Li looked at him and said.

"That won't work. We can only go a few times a month. There aren't that many prey in the mountains." Chen Feng did not agree.

"Oh, then I'll catch a big wild boar and sell it for money!" Chen Li said with a serious look, tears streaming down her face.

"Yeah, yeah, sell the big wild boar!"

Even if the price of a big wild boar cannot increase five or six times in the future, two or three times will still be several hundred yuan!
