I'm wearing it, but I'm still suffering.

"That's because your second sister is lucky. The fish like her too!" Grandma Liu praised with a smile.

"Okay, since you two didn't catch any fish, I'll punish you to clean up these small fish and hang them out to dry." Seeing the looks on his two grandsons' faces, Grandpa Liu knew that what the third girl said was right, so he let them deal with the fish and he wouldn't be so sad anymore.

"Brother, second brother, let me help you."

Liu Xiaoxiao saw such a big bucket of small fish. If she really relied on her two brothers to do it alone, how long would it take? And it was she who came up with the idea of ​​making dried fish! How could she just dig the hole and not be responsible for burying it?

"I'll help too." San Ya thought it was fun and wanted to help too.

"Brother, why don't you pull out the gills!"

"And second brother, you haven't even shaved off all the scales."

"Saya, go get some more water. I need to wash it a few more times."

Facts have proved that wherever Liu Xiaoxiao is, it will be lively, and Liu Kun and Liu Gang now agree that Liu Xiaoxiao has mysophobia.

At one point they wanted her to rest and said they could do it themselves without her help.

But Liu Xiaoxiao is stubborn. The more you don't want her to do something, the more she wants to do it. She even feels uneasy if she doesn't watch over it. After all, she will have to eat these fish in the future. Of course, because of her help, she is getting busier and busier.

In the end, it was only with the help of Daya and her aunt that they were able to finish cleaning up before dusk.

Second aunt had already cooked the fish for dinner, and they had dinner as soon as they finished cleaning up, otherwise they might have been ruined tonight.

"Grandpa, I want to go fishing again tomorrow. Do you brothers want to go tomorrow?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked while eating the pickled fish made by her second aunt.

"You haven't had enough fun today! Do you want to go tomorrow?" asked Grandpa Liu.

"How can this be considered playing? I'm working to earn food for my family!" she retorted in disagreement.

They were helpless about their granddaughter's daily efforts to earn food for the family, although he also felt that drought was inevitable.

But now their family is not to the point where they can’t even make ends meet!

"Okay, I won't stop you if you want to go, but your eldest brother can't go with you. He has to go to town to buy something tomorrow. I plan to have him go and give the betrothal gifts in the next few days. Can you let your second brother accompany you?"

"Why don't Cui'er and I go, and let Second Brother do what he needs to do."

"Can I go with you tomorrow since I have a day off?" Liu Wenxuan said at this time.

It was such a lively fishing event today, but he didn't go. It was such a pity to think about it. Fortunately, his second sister was going tomorrow, so he could still join in the fun.

"You can go, but you can't go in the water, and you have to listen to your sister Xiaoxiao."

"no problem"

So the next day, Liu Xiaoxiao brought Cui'er and Liu Wenxuan to the place where they fished yesterday and started her pleasant fishing journey.

When she returned home in the afternoon, she heard her brother talking to her grandfather in the yard.

"Grandpa, didn't you ask me to buy some flour today to make dumplings for Xiaoxiao?"

"Yes!"

"Guess how much a pound of white flour costs now?"

"Isn't it 15 cents per pound? Do you even need to guess?" Grandpa Liu replied.

"No, it has now risen to 18 wen per catty, an increase of 3 wen per catty."

"Why did the price go up for no reason? Have you asked the reason?" Grandma Liu also asked.

"I asked, and the shopkeeper said that it's the lean season now, and last year's harvest was poor, so more people are buying grain this year. Their purchase price has gone up, so they have no choice but to follow suit."

"And the shopkeeper saw that I was buying white flour and thought my family had some money, so he quietly told me that if the heat continued, this year's harvest wouldn't be much better, and the price might even go up again. He told us to buy more now and stock up if we could."
