poor family prodigal

The meeting is over!

When the seven people left the yard, the villagers gathered around and crowded towards Wang Hanshan.

The woman asked to be a cook.

A cook's monthly income, although not as much as a man's, can still support the family.

All men want to join the fish sales team.

With two dollars a month and two meals of meat a day, a gangster can get a wife.

Unable to get to Wang Hanshan's side, the villagers approached the three deputy captains Wang Sihai, Dahu, and Erhu, hoping that they would help intercede.

There are too many people, and the three of them dare not agree casually. There are not enough places for fear of offending people!

The three brothers of the Guo family had mixed feelings. There were so many people in Dawangzhuang who did not join the fishing team. The three of them, who were from other villages, were recruited by Wang Yuan.

Everyone in the audience looked at Wang Hanshan.

He has twenty-five jobs for the cook and the fish sales team. Whoever gets it will have an easier time!

Wang Hanshan said solemnly: "The fish selling team not only sells fish, but also practices martial arts to protect the village. Tomorrow morning, young people over thirteen and under twenty who want to join the fish selling team will gather in front of my house. I will test your strength. Reaction and perseverance, the first twenty can enter when the time comes, and it’s useless for anyone to say anything about the rest. Remember to eat full in the morning so you don’t have no energy when the time comes.”

Once they were allowed to take the test based on their ability, the villagers no longer struggled and were all thinking about what to take the test.

As for the number of five cooks, Wang Hanshan didn't say anything, and no one asked anymore.

The villagers left, and the yard finally became quiet. Dahu stood at the front door with a gun stake.

The two washed up and fell asleep, got into bed, and looked at each other.

"I've been busy at my uncle's house for the past three days, so I really didn't go to Goulan!"

"I know that my husband will not go to the fence!"

"why?"

"because……"

"Okay, you little girl, do you think your husband has no abilities?"

"I, I...ah!"

"Husband, I will let you know now what a real man is!"

"Ah, husband, you, you can do it!"

"Xiao Nizi, you want to take care of your health, but you think that your husband can't even go to the fence. How can you tolerate it?"

"Husband, the slave family is wrong, the relatives are still there!"

"sorry I forgot!"

"I am sorry for my husband. If you want to, you can do it!"

"No, it will hurt your body, just sleep peacefully!"

"Ok!"

A calm night!

Wang Yuan got up early in the morning and stood at the gun pile.

Even if he stayed at his uncle's house for three days, he would stand at the gun pile for half an hour every day.

Of course, he couldn't stand for that long at a time, but stacked up multiple times in ten minutes.

Every time after standing at the gun pile, my whole body feels warm, and my sore legs quickly recover.

I persisted like this for a week, and my body, which was previously weak, became stronger.

It’s no problem to check the box.

Wait until Wang Yuan has finished standing six times.

"Husband, brush your teeth!"

Li Shihan came with a cup and a willow branch, her pretty face was white and rosy, and her long legs were walking in small steps, like a delicate flower in bud.

"If you don't brush me, I'll smoke you!"

Wang Yuan took the cup and willow toothbrush, and kissed the red face.

"Ah, husband, it's broad daylight, and there are people outside!"

Li Shihan pursed her lips in anger, but her heart felt sweet, and she ran to the kitchen in small steps.

"Uncle Qingshan, Uncle Xiaoshan, why are you here so early!"

When he saw the two people outside the door, Wang Yuan rubbed his teeth with willow branches and walked outside.

Wang Qingshan and Wang Xiaoshan had sad faces and red eyes, as if they had cried.

Wang Qingshan's voice was filled with tears: "Wang Yuan, I didn't reveal the secret of fishing, why are you not allowed to be in the fishing team? Did I do something wrong? As long as you tell me, I will change it immediately!"

Wang Xiaoshan burst into tears: "Brother Yuan, we have nothing to apologize to you for. We will do whatever you ask us to do!"

Last night, their eldest brother Wang Hanshan told them not to join the fishing team and come do something else with Wang Yuan. The two of them were frightened and cried.

The fishing team lost their lives!

The sky is falling.

"What are you thinking about!"

Looking at the two grown men who were about to cry, Wang Yuan couldn't laugh or cry: "I asked Uncle Shanshan to let you come over because there is a better job for you to do!"

“There’s a better job than a fishing team!”

Wang Qingshan and Wang Xiaoshan didn’t believe it.

The fishing team earns two bucks a month and a meal of meat at noon. It's the best job in Beiping Township!

It can be said that when you work on the fishing team, you are looked down upon when you go out to the market.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "There are many better jobs than the fishing team. From now on, your salary will be increased to three guans per month! Shihan, please take two guans!"

"Three passes!"

Wang Qingshan and Wang Xiaoshan looked at the reissued money and felt like they were dreaming.

Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "But no one can tell you what I'm going to teach you."

The two of them realized that this job must be like the secret method of fishing, and they can make a lot of money!

"I won't tell anyone. Even if my elder brother asks, I'll be rotten to the core!"

Wang Xiaoshan quickly promised!

"If I say anything to anyone, I will be struck by thunder and die!"

Wang Qingshan even swore a poisonous oath.

A secret fishing method can feed so many people in the village. How can this secret recipe be simple?

Wang Yuan trusted them so much that he would never be disappointed.

"Work hard and life will get better and better!"

Patting the two of them on the shoulders, Wang Yuan waved his hand: "Go back and rest. When the fish sales team comes back, you can come back to work. You may be busy all night."

The two left in high spirits, no longer as dejected as when they arrived.

After breakfast, Wang Yuan took a walk around the village and bought ten acres of land for six thousand dollars an acre as the land for the big house to be built.

Went to the assessment site at noon.

Uncle Shanshan was very responsible in selecting people. He tested strength, speed, and endurance by moving rocks, running races, and squatting, and selected the top twenty teenagers to join the fish selling team.

Five cooks have also been selected.

Uncle Shanshan’s daughter-in-law, Aunt Hong, Wang Qingshan’s daughter-in-law, Aunt Hua, Wang Xiaoshan’s daughter-in-law, Aunt Qingzi, and Wang Sihai’s third sister-in-law and eldest sister-in-law.

The fishing team built a shed in front of Wang Yuan's gate and set up two large pots.

I bought some millet and beans and wheat noodles in the village, and the fish and meat fishing team left some behind.

Dinner will be served at noon that day.

Bean and wheat flour flatbread, dry millet rice, boiled fish, wild vegetable and egg drop soup, and fried radish.

Old members of the fishing team and twenty young men who had just been selected for the fish selling team gathered around.

Many villagers and children watched from a distance, including the patriarch Wang Bizhong.

Everyone is drooling just staring at the food!

As soon as the food was ready, the members of the fishing team and the young men from the fish selling team rushed forward, fearing that the food would be robbed if they were too late.

"Line up!"

Wang Yuan drew a line.

The crowd immediately lined up in a straight line to get rice, vegetables, cakes, and soup.

"It's really meaty. A fish that big must weigh half a catty!"

"There is also dry millet rice, the bowls are piled high, wild vegetable soup and eggs, half a bowl of fried radish per person, and three flatbreads per person!"

"I heard you can eat as much as you want!"

"It's almost like celebrating the New Year!"

"Stop bragging, your family can eat so well during the Chinese New Year, it's good to have something to eat!"

"Oh my gosh, I really envy them. Joining the fishing team will make your life go to heaven!"

The villagers clasped their hands, their eyes were shining, and they kept swallowing their saliva.

"After making two yuan, I started spending money lavishly. So many people eat meat together. I don't know how to live my life. What a waste of money!"

The patriarch, Wang Bizhong, shook his head with a straight face, looking like someone who had come before: "Money is saved!"

“For people who can’t make money, money can naturally be saved!”

Looking at the sour patriarch, Wang Yuan was not polite: "For those who make money, there is no need to save a small amount of money. Patriarch, what do you have for lunch?"

"Of course I eat meat too!"

Wang Bizhong put his hands behind his back, raised his head and chest, looking like he was no weaker than others.

"Clan leader, stop bragging. Who knows that if your family doesn't work, they just drink porridge at noon."

"Your Badou doesn't want to drink porridge, he cried several times at noon, and he doesn't want to read books anymore!"

"Hahaha!"

Some members of the fishing team came out to reveal the truth.

After following Wang Yuan, no one was afraid of Wang Bizhong, the clan leader.

Wang Badou means that the king will win his son, which means he is very talented, but actually he is a mess in his studies.

"Nonsense, nonsense, my family has [-] acres of land, how can I drink porridge at noon! I will go home and eat meat now. The old hens that my family stews at noon are much more delicious than fish."

Wang Bizhong's face turned red and he rolled his sleeves and turned around, as if he was going home to feed his mother.

Some children couldn't help hugging adults' legs and started crying, calling for fish and cakes.

Wang Yuan took some cakes and did not dare to give fish to the children for fear that the fish bones would get stuck in their throats.

Unexpectedly, when the children saw him coming forward, they all cried harder and harder!

He used to be a prodigal, but now he is a more ruthless person than Liu Youcai.

Wang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked Li Shihan to hand out cakes, so that the children would dare to take them.

Wang Yuan saw that the villagers who had no food in their stomachs had terrible appetites.

Any one person can eat three bowls of millet rice, five soybean and wheat flour cakes, three bowls of egg and wild vegetable soup, half a bowl of fried radish, and eat all the fish bones on the fish, even the five cooks are no exception!

Until Wang Yuan said that he would still eat dry food in the afternoon and asked everyone to slow down and not hold on.

The fishing team reluctantly put down their bowls, got up and went to work.

Wang Yuan asked everyone to take a rest.

Unexpectedly, the villagers were very convincing.

You can rest whenever you want, you have to work when you are full; you are not an official, how can you be so pretentious.

The fish selling team returned in the afternoon, and two mules loaded with goods entered Wang Yuan's yard.

Wang Qingshan and Wang Xiaoshan also came. Seeing a mule, a cart, an ox and a horse, they couldn't figure out what Wang Yuan was going to do.
