In the early morning, the Zheng family all got up early!
Mrs. Zhou put two fishes in a bamboo basket and covered them with cloth, "Boss, go and deliver these two fishes to the village chief's family, and the brown sugar you borrowed will be considered as repayment!"
"Mom, just a little brown sugar won't cost you two fish!" Boss Zheng was a little reluctant!
Mrs. Zhou was a little angry looking at her son's silly look. "You're stupid. We all live in the village. If we have something to do, we have to go to the village chief. I used to have nothing at home, and I couldn't give it away even if I wanted to. Two fish are nothing. The village chief and his family are all good people. , If it weren’t for the help of the village chief, I would have starved you to death!"
"Yes, yes! Mom, don't be angry, I'll send it right away!" Boss Zheng understood the meaning as soon as he heard it. He took the basket and walked to the village chief's house.
It was early in the morning, and I didn't meet anyone along the way. When I arrived at the village chief's house, I saw that the door hadn't been opened yet, so I knocked a few times.
"Who is it?" The village chief's wife was a little curious as to who came to his house so early in the morning.
"Auntie, it's me who's filling the room."
When the village chief's wife heard that it was Mr. Zheng, she walked over and opened the door. "Why are you here so early in the morning? Do you have anything to do with your uncle?"
"No, auntie, my wife gave birth to a baby the day before yesterday. Didn't I ask you to borrow some brown sugar? I caught fish yesterday and thought of giving you two." He opened the cloth and handed the basket to Aunt Wang. .
The two fish weighed about five or six pounds. Aunt Wang was a little surprised when she saw them, "Where did you catch them? Can we still catch fish here?"
"I was lucky, so I caught some." Boss Zheng scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Come on, let's sit in the room first. Your uncle just got up!" He said and led Boss Zheng in.
"Hey! The whole hall is here. I heard that your wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. You are so lucky!" The first baby was twins, and the second baby was a boy and girl. How envious!
Boss Zheng was proud when he heard this, "That's because my wife is great."
When the village chief heard this, he was sour! Why can't his daughter-in-law give birth to twins?
"What's wrong with you coming here so early in the morning?"
The village chief's wife came over with tea and said, "This kid caught the fish somewhere. I came here to deliver the fish. There are two of them. They are not small. One weighs two or three pounds."
When the village chief heard this, he felt a little comforted. The Zheng family knew how to do things. Although he was greedy, he still said, "You child, your wife just gave birth to a baby. You didn't leave any soup to replenish her body. Why did you send it here? Get it quickly." go back!"
When Boss Zheng heard this, he was very moved, "Uncle, I still have some at home. I caught a lot of them and there are still some left. Just accept them and replenish them for Big Egg and Erdan."
The village chief hesitated upon hearing this. His family hadn't had meat for a long time, and his grandchildren were also skinny.
"Then uncle accepted it without mercy. If you have any problems in the future, just come to uncle. I will help you if I can!" I felt more and more that the Zheng family was good.
"Hey! Okay, uncle, you guys are busy first, and I'll go back first."
Aunt Wang put the fish in the basin, feeling that her family had taken a big advantage, and her attitude became better and better. "Let's stay and have breakfast before leaving!"
"No, auntie, my mother has cooked some food and is waiting for me." She said, taking the basket from the village chief's wife and going back.
As soon as Boss Zheng returned home, it was just time for dinner. At the dinner table, the Zheng family gathered together, which was very warm.
I saw Meihua holding a few vegetables with chopsticks, grabbing a few mouthfuls of porridge, and eating in a hurry. As soon as I finished eating, I put down my bowl and ran away.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zheng Laoer was a little surprised at his wife's abnormality.
The Zheng family all knew about Mei Hua's fiery temper, but they didn't say anything.
Here, Meihua was thinking about the eggs. She quickly ran to the chicken coop, touched her heart, took a deep breath, and carefully picked up the chicken.
Mei Hua's breathing suddenly became rapid, just as she thought. Two more nests full of eggs.
This time she didn't pick up the egg, but turned around and ran back.
He ran to the dinner table excitedly and gasped, "Mom, come on, come with me!"
"What's wrong?" Although Zhou was confused about Mei Hua's behavior, she still followed her.
The others also looked at each other, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and walked towards the chicken coop.
The Zheng family members gathered in front of the chicken coop were stunned. As expected, the shock of seeing it with their own eyes was greater.
This chicken is really crazy, its belly is only so big. Where did this egg come from? This is too much.
"Mom, is this true? Is this a dream?" Zheng Laoer rubbed his eyes, having laid so many eggs in one night. It's so scary.
"Yes, mother! This is too outrageous."
Li Yun was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth. She heard her second sister-in-law talk about it yesterday and didn't feel much at all. I saw it with my own eyes today and was really shocked.
Seeing this, Mei Hua pinched Zheng Laoer's thigh.
"Ouch! It hurts!" It's true.
"Plum Blossom, Xiaoyun. Put the eggs in a basket!" Mrs. Zhou regained her composure and ordered, then looked at Father Zheng, also a little worried.
Father Zheng sighed, "It's okay. Don't worry. If we are lucky, we will continue. Anyway, we just don't do anything bad."
"But you must remember one thing. Don't reveal a word. Otherwise, our Zheng family will not be able to live happily in the future." Father Zheng said seriously as he looked at the family.
"Don't worry, dad. We know it!" Zheng Laosan responded solemnly, and everyone else nodded firmly.
Worrying about the past, what is left is just a surprise. There are so many eggs that I will definitely not be able to finish. Selling them is also a source of income.
"Second and Third, you guys will take the eggs to the town and sell them later."
"Yes, Dad." After saying that, everyone went about their business.
After packing their gear, the two of them were ready to set off.
Mrs. Zhou warned from the side. "Go to the town to see the fourth child, and then remember to buy some cotton cloth. The children will look the same every day, and make some clothes for Jinbao and Xiaolin to wear."
"Buy some more snacks and come back to give these boys a toothpaste." Seeing the sensible looks of a group of boys, Mrs. Zhou felt soft and said.
When the boys heard this, their eyes gleamed, "Wow, if you want something delicious, milk is the best."
Mrs. Zhou laughed when she heard this, "Okay, you go and cut some more grass to feed the chickens. They will lay so many eggs. You will have to feed them well in the future."
"Okay, Milk, let's cut more grass, feed the chickens fatter, and lay a bunch of eggs every day."
"Go on, go on! You are not allowed to mention eggs outside, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, we know it." Several boys responded in unison. Although they are not very old, they know many things.
Zheng Lao Er and Zheng Lao San came to town and went straight to the vegetable market. They had come here to sell eggs before, so the door was clear.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, they saw a person looking left and right with an anxious look on his face. The two of them were not curious and prepared to walk past.
But as soon as he walked in front of the man, his arm was grabbed, "Brother, do you know where I can buy fresh eggs?"
The second child and the third child looked at each other, what a coincidence. As soon as they brought the eggs to sell, they met someone who wanted to buy eggs.
The third child looked at this man cautiously, "How much do you want?"
"The more, the better. My wife and aunt have both given birth. Well, the master has asked me to go out and buy fresh eggs. Where can I buy so many fresh eggs at this time?" He sighed.
The third child glanced at the second child and when he nodded, he opened the basket and said, "We happen to be selling eggs from the village. Do you think this is feasible?"
The man's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Oh, these eggs are so big. They look fresh. I want them all!"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and handed it over.
Zheng Laosan was a little surprised when he saw the silver in front of him. This was the first time he saw the silver. "What about you? We can't find him either!"
An egg costs a penny. This basket of eggs is sold at a higher price, up to two hundred pence. This is enough money for one or two cents. How can the two of them find it if they are penniless?
"No need to look for it, no need to look for it, you have helped me a lot. The master is still waiting, so I'm going to leave first." After saying that, he handed Zheng Laosan the money and turned around to leave.
Zheng Laoer and Zheng Laosan are a little overwhelmed, so they sell it now? I also sold it for one tael of silver.
Zheng Laosan patted his face, sobered up, and carefully put away the money.
"Second brother, let's go see the fourth brother first, and then go buy cloth for the little niece."
"Okay, let's go see the fourth child first."
Zheng Laosi is fifteen this year. His family has a large population and he doesn't have enough food to eat. So he works as an apprentice in a drug store in the town, where he can take care of food and housing quite comfortably.
The two of them came to the door of the pharmacy. Seeing that Zheng Laosi was busy, they didn't bother them and stood outside the door waiting.
After finishing his work, Zheng Laosi saw the two people at the door and said in surprise, "Second brother and third brother, why are you here? Why don't you come in and sit down."
The two of them looked at Zheng Laosi's calm expression and felt very happy, "We are selling eggs in town, so we stopped by to see you."
"How are you working here? Are you tired? When are you going to go home?"
Seeing the series of questions from his brothers, Zheng Laosi felt warm in his heart, "I'm doing well here. My boss is nice, and I occasionally give him some pocket money."
The four of them, Mr. Zheng, are smart, hardworking, and good at talking, so they are highly appreciated by their employers.
"When are you going home to see me? My sister-in-law has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Our Zheng family has a baby girl!" Zheng Laoer didn't say much, thinking of Jin Bao, his face was full of joy!
"Really? My sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl? Have you named her?" When Zheng Laosi heard this, he was also surprised.
"Of course it's true. She's so beautiful. There is no more beautiful girl than her. Her name is Zheng Jinli, Xiao Jinbao, named after our father." Zheng Laosan said with a proud face.
When Zheng Laosi heard this, he nodded. This is a good name. "I'll take two days off in a few days to go back and have a look." I can't wait to see my little niece.
The shopkeeper of the drugstore came out after hearing the voice. He had met the two brothers before. They were both loyal and honest people, and he liked them more.
So he greeted me warmly, "Two brothers are here. Why are you still standing? Sit down and have a cup of tea."
"No, no, we have to go to the market to buy things, so we won't sit down." The two brothers waved their hands quickly.
The two of them told Zheng Laosi a few more words, asking him to work hard and not be lazy, then turned and left.
Zheng Laosi sent the two of them away and took the opportunity to ask for leave from his employer, "Shopkeeper, my sister-in-law has given birth. Can you give me two days' leave after a few days? I want to go back and have a look."
The shopkeeper immediately agreed upon hearing this, "Okay, you can go back and take a look after these two days!"
Zheng Laosi was extremely grateful, "Thank you, shopkeeper."
Here, Zheng Lao Er and Zheng Lao San went to the cloth store to buy a few feet of cotton cloth, bought candied haws and pastries for a few boys, and hurried home.
They are reluctant to buy food outside, and they can catch lunch if they go back early.
By the time they arrived home, they had already eaten, and there was still food left for them in the pot.
Zheng Laosan took out the money bag from his arms and handed it over.
"It cost one hundred coppers to buy cotton cloth, twenty coppers to buy food, and there are still eight hundred and eighty coppers here." He said with an excited face, it was the first time he had received so many copper coins.
Father Zheng and Mrs. Zhou looked at each other. It was one thing to listen, but they really couldn't believe it when they saw so many copper coins.
A basket of eggs can be exchanged for one tael of silver, which is unimaginable.
