Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

While eating, Chen Lang noticed that Zhao Chunhua would always steal glances at him from time to time, and that look...how to describe it, a bit of curiosity, a bit of fear, and a bit of surprise.

Chen Lang nudged Li Xiuzhi's elbow and whispered, "Why does my sister-in-law keep looking at me? What did you say to her?"

Li Xiuzhi felt a little guilty and said, "She didn't say anything, she just said you've changed. Maybe she thought you've changed for the better, which was quite unexpected."

Chen Lang suddenly realized: "I see, I thought there was something dirty on his face."

At this time, Li Xiuzhi felt someone gently lift her leg again. She glanced at Zhao Chunhua, who kept winking at her.

Li Xiuzhi mustered up the courage to say, "Erlang, I want to stay at my brother's house for two more days. Is that okay with you?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Of course, that's exactly what I was thinking."

"I just had a fight with my parents. They're holding back their anger and might do something to you and Guoguo when I'm not home."

"Instead of letting you and Guoguo stay at home and suffer, it's better to spend a few days comfortably at my brother's house."

Li Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Erlang."

Chen Lang said, "Why are you saying thank you to them?"

After eating and drinking, Chen Lang said goodbye.

Li Xiuzhi can live with her brother, but he has to continue to earn money.

Li Xiuzhi took Guoguo's hand and walked Chen Lang to the village entrance.

Chen Lang had walked about ten meters away when he suddenly remembered something. He ran back, held out his hand and smiled, "Wife, give me some money."

"How much do you want?" Li Xiuzhi asked, taking out her purse.

Chen Lang calculated what he was going to buy and said, "Sixty cents."

Li Xiuzhi almost blurted out the words "you want so much", but she immediately held back.

Chen Lang is no longer the same as before. He probably won't use this money to eat, drink and have fun with his friends.

Li Xiuzhi stuffed the entire purse into Chen Lang's hand: "There are about eighty coins in it. You can take it all."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Why don't you ask me what I'm going to do with so much money?"

Li Xiuzhi lowered her head. Although she didn't say anything, the way she kept rubbing her toes on the ground revealed that she really wanted to know what Chen Lang was going to do with so much money.

Chen Lang explained, "I want to buy millet, sorghum wine, and a fishing net."

After hearing the first two, Li Xiuzhi's heart sank.

After two days of pretending, you can’t continue?

Millet and sorghum wine, are you going to fool around again?

But what does fishing net mean?

Chen Lang went on to explain: "These things are used to catch fish. Just fishing or turning over rocks to pick them up is too slow and will not make you money very quickly."

"There are so many places at home that need money. I need to speed up the process."

Li Xiuzhi still didn't understand: "What do millet and sorghum wine have to do with fishing?"

Chen Lang said: "I have to do experiments to confirm it. It's hard to say now."

"Xiuzhi, don't worry, I won't go out and fool around."

After saying that, he squatted down and hugged Guoguo: "Be good."

Guoguo's eyes were red, and she said aggrievedly, "Daddy, when will you come to pick me up?"

"Two or three days. You have to be obedient at your uncle's house and help your aunt. Got it?"

Guoguo nodded: "Guoguo will definitely be obedient, Daddy, you have to come pick me up earlier."

After hearing what his good girl said, Chen Lang felt a little reluctant to leave.

But letting Li Xiuzhi and Guoguo stay at Li Xiaohu's house is definitely better than letting them stay at his own house.

Chen Lang stood up and hugged Li Xiuzhi again, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he turned around and left cruelly.

Li Xiuzhi and Guoguo didn't turn around and walk home until they could no longer see Chen Lang.

When he returned home, Li Xiaohu's whole family was in the yard.

The two old people were sitting on lounge chairs basking in the sun. Zhao Chunhua held the younger one in her arms and clamped the older one between her legs to prevent her from running around.

As for Li Xiaohu, he was doing carpentry work and it seemed that he was making a bed for his youngest son.

Guoguo was very interested in carpentry. She walked over and squatted at Li Xiaohu's feet, watching him grunt as he carved wood.

Seeing this, Li Lanlan also clamored to watch it with her sister.

Zhao Chunhua loosened her legs, and Li Lanlan rushed to Guoguo like a whirlwind and squatted next to her.

Being stared at by the two little guys, Li Xiaohu became more motivated and acted faster.

Li Xiuzhi walked over to Zhao Chunhua and said, "Erlang bought a piece of cloth. Your craftsmanship is better than mine. Why don't you make a new set of clothes for Xiaohu and Erlang in the next two days?"

"With the remaining fabric, you can make a suit for each of the two children, the two elders, and yourself. It should be just right."

Zhao Chunhua was anxious. "How can this be possible? Xiaohu can earn money to buy fabric for my parents' clothes. How can he use the fabric bought by his brother-in-law?"

"I'll make a set for you and Guoguo, but forget about the two old ones."

Li Xiuzhi said seriously, "Chunhua, we are a family. I have always regarded your parents as my own."

"Also, Erlang bought ready-made clothes for me and Guoguo. He originally asked me to wear them today, but I couldn't bear to do so, so I didn't wear them. So, we have new clothes now."

"This fabric is specially bought for your family. Just do as I say. I will also learn the sewing skills from you."

Zhao Chunhua sighed, "I suddenly feel that even if my brother-in-law turns into a monster, there really isn't anything wrong with it."

Li Xiaohu had sharp ears and heard the word "jingguai". He asked, "What kind of jingguai?"

Zhao Chunhua glared at him angrily: "I was talking to my sister about some private matters between women, why are you eavesdropping?"

Li Xiaohu smiled awkwardly and said to Li Lanlan, "Your mother is so fierce."

Li Lanlan nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes."

Zhao Chunhua was both angry and amused: "You two, father and daughter, have formed a united front?"

Looking at her brother's family laughing and playing, Li Xiuzhi no longer felt envious.

Because she felt that she would soon be living like this.

As for whether Chen Erlang was possessed by a demon or whether he would absorb her popularity, Li Xiuzhi didn't care that much.

Even if it is, it doesn’t matter. It’s worth it to be able to live like this for a while before dying.

……

On the other hand, Chen Lang was lucky. When he arrived at the village pier, he happened to catch the return ferry.

Because we were going downstream back to the county town, the time was more than half shorter than the time we came here.

After arriving in the county town, Chen Lang's first stop was to go to the grain store and buy a pound of millet. Then he went to the wine shop and bought two pounds of sorghum wine.

Just these two things took up most of the money Li Xiuzhi gave to Chen Lang.

Therefore, the purchase of fishing nets was forced to be postponed.

After leaving the city, Chen Lang poured all the millet into the sorghum wine jar, sealed it, and shook it vigorously a few times.

People passing by looked at him as if he was crazy, thinking that Chen Lang was wasting food. Who would mix millet and sorghum wine together?

Is Chen Lang really wasting food?

Obviously not.

He was doing this to prepare bait for fishing!
