Yes, what if it doesn’t sell?

"With so many fish, it's impossible for everyone to eat fresh ones, right? Once everyone has smoked them, if they can't be sold, we can just share the smoked fish.

It’s better for everyone to smoke the fish together this time than to do it alone. It won’t make anyone suffer any loss anyway!”

When everyone thought about it, it seemed to be true. Anyway, the fish had to be smoked when they were divided up. If they smoked it themselves, who knows how long it would take.

Moreover, if the smoked fish is not stored properly, it will easily become moldy and infested with insects in the frequent rainy weather.

So, why not give it a try!

"Well, then I don't want so many fish. I'll just take two home to eat!"

As soon as one person said this, a second person followed. The situation was beginning to get out of control, and the captain said:

"Okay, everyone, be quiet. Those who want to exchange work points for fish should go to Accountant Wang to register. We will first count how many fish you need to take out. As for the rest, we will start smoking them today."

"One person from each family should go to Accountant Wang to register, and the rest can come to me and I will arrange work for them.

Everyone has seen this, it is for all of us, so everyone should work together. If I see anyone being lazy, don’t even think about getting any money at the end of this year!"

Generally, the village’s money will be used to settle everyone’s work points first, and then half of the remaining money will be put into the village branch for some infrastructure construction or other purposes in the following year.

As for the remaining part, it will be distributed according to the number of people in each family. Of course, the amount of money received by the old, young and strong laborers will be different!

When everyone heard about the lazy and penniless person who wanted to take advantage of the situation, they immediately dared not to move.

The next step was to assign work, and even the educated youth were assigned tasks, almost everyone was mobilized.

Except for the men who were fishing, the rest of the men were assigned to go up the mountain to cut pine branches and bamboo.

The pine trees were all delivered to the square in front of the brigade headquarters, while the bamboos were sent to the warehouse, where there were knives. The bamboos could be cut and made into sieves.

Almost everyone in the village can do such simple craft.

The remaining older people were assigned to build large earthen stoves.

The women were assigned to dig soil, carry soil over, and process fish, while Gu Wan was assigned by the team leader to do construction work.

After all, she is familiar with every step, and someone always needs to watch when doing these things, otherwise if something is done wrong or not done well, the fish will be wasted.

No one else had any objection. Even if the girls at the educated youth point had any objections, they did not dare to speak out. After all, this idea was proposed by Gu Wan.

After the final statistics, most people were reluctant to share the fish, so the team leader made the decision to give each family 50 kilograms of fish.

These fifty kilograms are not included in the calculated work points. They are just the reward for being busy over the past two days.

Gu Wan also took 50 kilograms, but also bought another 200 kilograms of fish from the village. She missed the braised fish in sauce that she had eaten in her previous life, and planned to wait for Zhao Congyi to come back so that she could make some braised fish for her family.

When I built the house, I dug a small pond at home. It was originally used to collect rainwater for watering the vegetables.

Gu Wan put all the fish she bought into the small pond and then went to the brigade headquarters to supervise.

When Zhao Congyi got home, he knocked on the door as usual, but no one came to open the door, so he took the key and opened the door himself.

Only then did I realize that Gu Wan was not at home today. After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that there seemed to be a pond in the village today.

After putting the things down, I cooked in the kitchen, changed into a set of dirt-resistant clothes and overshoes, and then prepared to go out.

Because of his identity as a doctor, Zhao Congyi was respected by the villagers and they would greet him when they saw him.

He also asked people and found out that Gu Wan was in the brigade headquarters, and such a big thing happened today.

When he arrived, Gu Wan was squatting beside a stove pulling pine needles with a few aunties.

The stove has been built, but because the weather is not that dry, it needs to be burned first so that the earthen stove can be completely dry, so that the stove can be used longer.

All the preparations have been made. While waiting, Gu Wan and other people in the village squatted in the square to pull off the pine needles, which would make it more convenient to use them when the time comes.

Gu Wan was listening to the gossip intently, but the noise gradually faded away and she heard laughter.

Gu Wan raised her head and looked at everyone in surprise. She followed their gaze and saw Zhao Congyi walking towards her.

It seemed as if there was only room for her in his gentle eyes. No wonder the people around him teased her like this.

"Hey, Gu Zhiqing, your doctor Zhao is here to pick you up!" After saying that, everyone winked at each other.

The villagers call their men "Moqi", which is probably these two words. The villagers can't tell the specific two words, but the pronunciation is roughly like this.

Gu Wan and Zhao Congyi always call each other "lover" in front of others, but Gu Wan always likes to call Zhao Congyi "Doctor Zhao", so everyone likes to make fun of the two of them.

Every time in front of Gu Wan, he would call her Doctor Zhao in a long tone, which made Gu Wan very embarrassed.

Zhao Congyi's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Wan's different hairstyle today. After a while, he looked away from her and greeted the aunts. "Hello, aunts, hello!"

"Hello! Hello, Doctor Zhao is so polite. Are you off work today?"

"Yes, just got off work!"

"It's so late now, there's nothing to do here, go back and cook, you can't let Dr. Zhao go hungry after a day of work!"

"Yes, Gu Zhiqing, you should go back soon. We are here. We have people to cook for us at home. You are different. You are just two young people!"

The aunt next to her hurriedly snatched the things from Gu Wan's hand and pushed her up.

Zhao Congyi hurriedly supported the person and said, "Thank you, aunties!"

The aunts laughed and made noises for a while, urging the two to go back quickly. Gu Wan saw that nothing was wrong, and what the aunt said was right.

Most other people have someone at home to cook, but they are different. There are only two people in her family.

You have to go back early.

On the way back, Gu Wan said a little embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I was so busy that I forgot the time. Let's go back quickly, otherwise it will be dark soon."

It's autumn now, but it's not as dark early as in the summer. Now it gets dark around six o'clock.

At this time, the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze, and it must be getting late.

Zhao Cong looked around and saw that there was no one around. It was already getting dark, so he slowly approached Gu Wan until their hands touched.
