Rebirth 91, this time I want to be a doctor

Chapter 361 The sky-high price of fish

The Spring Festival in 2000 was relatively early, and the New Year was celebrated on February 2. When I returned to Fengyang from my hometown in Xinping County, it was already late January, and the New Year was about ten days away.

Liu Xiaochuan took Lu Linlin to Harbin to see the ice lanterns, check in at the cathedral, drank kvass, and ate big ribs and red sausage. After only three days in Harbin, they took the train to Songyuan to check Watch the winter catch on Dry Lake and eat a full fish feast.

The winter hunt usually lasts for a month, and now it is coming to an end. There are not so many spectators anymore, which saves the crowds.Stepping on the thick ice, watching the horse-drawn winch pull the big net.This was the first time Lu Linlin saw such a scene, and she was very surprised.

"Xiaochuan, so many people won't collapse the ice, right?"

"How is that possible? The ice is so thick. Didn't you see the tractors coming up? I think these big fish are pretty good. Let's buy more and eat them during the New Year!"

"We came by train, who will carry the fish you bought?"

"That's right. It's really inconvenient if you don't have a car." Today's logistics is not yet developed. Express delivery is already available, but it is far from popular. It is not like 20 years later when everything you buy can be delivered to your home, as long as the money is available. , it’s no problem if you don’t go downstairs for a year.

"I just heard from the fish seller that this year's top fish sold for a sky-high price of 10,000+! Do you think it's true?" Lu Linlin herself didn't quite believe it.

"It should be true. There is no need for people to brag about this!" Liu Xiaochuan knew that 10,000+ was nothing. In the future, it would be sold at sky-high prices of several million. The main purpose of bidding for the top fish was to gain recognition and have an advertising effect. Yes, otherwise who would be stupid and pay that IQ tax!

Liu Xiaochuan, the head fish, would definitely not buy it for even a few thousand, let alone 10,000+. However, he still couldn’t forget the idea of ​​buying a few fish back, so he went to the fish stall to ask if they could deliver the fish.

"Delivery is no problem. Where is your home? Is it far away?"

"Far, across the province!"

The fish seller was amused and said, "Young man, you are kidding me. How can I deliver it to you across provinces and cities? But if you really want to buy it, I have a trick for you. You can check it at the train station." Ah! This fish is frozen right now, so you don’t have to worry about it spoiling.”

"That's another idea. I'll buy a few more. Can you help me take them to the station?"

"How many do you want? I can't afford three or two!"

"Ten of them, they all need to have this pouty mouth, and they need to be bigger, at least ten pounds or more."

The fish seller didn't expect Liu Xiaochuan to be a big customer. This fishy mouth is not cheap. It costs more than 20 yuan per catty, which is affordable for him. The fish he picked for Liu Xiaochuan were all big fish weighing fifteen or six kilograms. Ten fish cost 3000. It's more than a few months' salary for working-class people.

After checking in from the station, Liu Xiaochuan divided the ten fish into two parts and transported them to Xinping County Railway Station and Kaiyuan Railway Station respectively. He called the two old fathers and asked them to pick up the goods at the station.

After buying the fish, my stomach growled with hunger. There were several fish stew restaurants on the shore of the lake. They ordered a full fish feast and the two of them ate happily.

Lu Linlin has always been irresistible to delicious food, "Well, this fish is so delicious. Just buy the fish and take it home. During the Chinese New Year, you must have more than enough every year!"

"It's rare for you to praise me, it's not easy!"

Since the last confession, although Lu Linlin was not angry on the surface, she had been a little cold towards Liu Xiaochuan for more than a month. She had been staying at the school and never went home.This sudden compliment made Liu Xiaochuan uncomfortable.

Strike while the iron is hot, I didn't ask for a standard room for accommodation that night, I asked for a double bed room, and finally returned to the previous state.

I took the train back to Fengyang from Songyuan. After another day of rest, I went shopping to buy some New Year goods and gifts. Liu Xiaochuan took Lu Linlin and drove straight to Kaiyuan. It was already the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, so it would be a bit awkward to go too late. .

Liu Xiaochuan and the others arrived in the afternoon, and Lu Youzhong went to the station to get the fish back in the morning.

"Xiaochuan, why did you buy so many big fish? How long do we have to eat them?"

"Uncle Lu, can't we visit relatives during the Chinese New Year? I thought it would be better to send fish as a farewell. It would be great to have more than enough every year! Just treat it as a festive gift. Wouldn't it be great if you add some cigarettes, wine, and fruits?"

Lu Youzhong nodded, feeling that his son-in-law was thoughtful, even thinking of gifts from his visiting relatives.

Five big fish, Lu Youzhong gave one to Lu Linlin's uncle and third aunt's family, and another to the director of the Grain Bureau. He also gave birth to a little son in his own family. He took a lot of leave this year, and the leadership was not embarrassed. He also needs to know something, and he has to support his leaders during the Chinese New Year.

The New Year in the county town is far less lively than in the countryside. Except for the few days when he went to visit relatives, Liu Xiaochuan occasionally touched a few small pokers. This year was really boring. He was purely a supporting role, accompanying Lu Linlin and his father-in-law. Mother-in-law and brother-in-law watch the Spring Festival Gala, and Lu Youzhong has to take them out for exhibitions from time to time.

Not only Liu Xiaochuan, but also Lu Linlin felt that it would be more interesting to celebrate the New Year in Liu Xiaochuan's hometown.But for Lu Youzhong and Feng Caijuan, this year was a very happy one. Unlike the previous two years, their daughters had gone away to live with other people, and the family was strangely deserted.This year is different. My daughter and son-in-law are all here, and relatives are also visiting their homes. How lively it is!

Finally, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Liu Xiaochuan suggested: "Uncle Lu, Aunt Feng, there are still more than half a month before school starts, how about we go on a trip!"

Lu Youzhong asked in surprise: "Where are you going to travel in this winter? To see the ice lanterns? Didn't you just come back!"

"Instead of going to see the ice lanterns, let's go to Qiongdao. It's not cold there!"

"Ah? It's so far. You have to take a plane. It's very expensive!" Feng Caijuan first thought that going to Qiongdao would cost a lot of money.

"You don't have to worry about money. If you agree, I'll have someone book a plane ticket for us right now!"

"Okay, let's go, Mom and Dad, it's a good time to bring my brother to see the world!" Lu Linlin was the first to agree.

Feng Caijuan smiled and said: "Your brother is only three years old. What can he remember and what world can he see?"

"No, the baby has to go, to see that world!" Three-year-old Lu Feng listened on the sidelines and immediately clamored to go, although he didn't know where he was going!

"Okay, let's go! Just come back before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!" Lu Youzhong made the decision directly!

Seeing that her husband had agreed, Feng Caijuan didn't know what to say. She just whispered to Lu Youzhong: "You just know how much it will cost. The children are not married yet. It will always cost Xiaochuan's money, okay?" ?”

"Since my children have such filial piety, let's not ruin their good intentions!" Lu Youzhong was really tempted by the idea of ​​traveling to Qiongdao.

Immediately, Liu Xiaochuan called his cousin Zhao Xiufen and asked her to find someone to help book a flight.Vice President Zhao has been traveling back and forth for more than a year, so he naturally knows people in this field.

It didn't take more than an hour for Zhao Xiufen to call back. The air tickets were settled. They would have their flight tomorrow afternoon and asked them to go to the airport on time. Someone would contact them.

Thinking that he could not favor one over the other, Liu Xiaochuan got up early in the morning on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and called Shen Youwei while standing in the yard of Lu Linlin's house. The last time he called was on New Year's Eve, he just said a few words and then hung up.

"It's so early, Xiaochuan, Shen Youwei's lazy voice came from the receiver!"

"So early? Shouldn't it be night where you are? Xiaowei!"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Forget it, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I returned to China to visit my relatives years ago and am now at home in Fengyang. I just didn't tell you because I was afraid of delaying your New Year celebrations and making things difficult for you."
