Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 48 Childhood Secrets

An Yue looked at her grandfather, who gave her an affirmative look, and then she turned around and nodded.

"That's seven taels and forty cents." The accountant counted the money again and again, and handed it to An Yue one by one.

An Yue took all the silver and money, a hint of childishness flashed across her eyes for a moment, but she quickly restrained it.

She turned to Shopkeeper Wang and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Wang! We will take our leave now!" After a simple greeting, she turned around and walked towards the side door.

Shopkeeper Wang watched An Yue walk away, then he stuck his head out and loudly urged again: "Miss An Yue, what I said must be done!"

I stayed for a while longer to discuss important matters with Manager Wang. Now I was walking on the street. It was already bright and there were many pedestrians, but there were abnormally many people cleaning the streets.

An Yue thought for a moment and looked up to her grandfather and said, "Grandfather and uncle will lead the ox cart and go back to wait for Yueyue. Yueyue will come to find you soon."

"Yueyue..." She turned and walked away before her grandfather could finish his question.

"Dad, let's do as Yueyue said! Just walk slowly and wait for her."

Grandfather smiled and shook his head, muttering helplessly: "This kid... has a lot of ideas in his head."

An Yue slipped into the shop on the main street and looked around the shop.

The waiter in the shop came over and asked, "Miss, what do you want to buy?"

An Yue asked in a low voice: "Brother, I see that our streets are cleaned very cleanly, and even the shops on the side of the street are neatly arranged. I guess some important person is coming to our town, right?"

The waiter covered his mouth and whispered to An Yue, "Yes! I heard that the elders from the county are coming to inspect."

After hearing this, An Yue said to the waiter, "Okay...! Thank you, brother."

After saying that, she turned and ran out of the shop.

An Yue thought, it is not strange when put this way. Manager Wang's Wanfulou is the largest restaurant in Shijing Town. No wonder Manager Wang added so much fish. It turned out that he wanted to entertain his distinguished guests.

An Yue had already run away, and the waiter finally reacted and shouted, "Hey, girl, you haven't bought anything yet!"

My uncle and grandfather had already walked out of the town, and An Yue ran a long way before she caught up with them.

Uncle looked at An Yue running over breathlessly and asked curiously, "Yueyue, what are you doing?"

"Haha... there are two pieces of news now, one... is bad news, and the other is good news. Which one does uncle want to hear first?" An Yue said while panting.

"good news!"

"The good news is that Shopkeeper Wang will still accept our fish."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai was obviously not very surprised by the news. After all, it could be seen from her expression when she was talking to Manager Wang.

"What about the bad news?"

An Yue laughed and said, "The bad news is... Shopkeeper Wang needs us to prepare more fish, so grandpa and uncle will be even more tired!"

My uncle stopped immediately and didn't move forward. He wanted to confirm it again.

With a surprised look on his face, he asked An Yue: "What? You want more fish?"

An Yue smiled playfully and nodded.

Grandfather and uncle's eyes lit up instantly, and the expressions on the faces of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were all full of joy.

Although my uncle is already in his early twenties, he couldn't help jumping for joy when he heard the news.

Grandfather smiled with wrinkles all over his face and asked, "Yueyue, can Manager Wang tell you clearly the exact number of fish you need?"

An Yue pointed two fingers at her grandfather.

"Two hundred pounds?"

An Yue nodded and said with some pride: "At least 200 kilograms of live fish, and more..."

"The fish delivered this time weighs 140 kilograms, which were exchanged for seven taels of silver. With more than 200 kilograms of fish, wouldn't that be more than ten taels of silver?" My uncle gestured with his fingers and said with extreme excitement in his eyes.

Grandfather said, "Wait a minute... Ah Hai, you can run fast, go to the wine shop and get a few cups of wine and bring them home. We two will have a few drinks today. Oh... and buy some more food for Nian Nian Yue Yue."

"Then I'll buy some for my wife too. She's been very greedy lately. I want her to avoid competing with Niannian and Yueyue again."

"Okay, okay, I'm happy today. Just buy whatever you want!"

As soon as my grandfather finished speaking, my uncle hurriedly handed the rope to my grandfather, turned around and ran towards the town.

An Yue shouted loudly: "Uncle! Don't run away in such a hurry! You haven't brought any money yet!"

The grandfather smiled and rolled his eyes at his son and said, "You are so grown up, but you are still so impetuous!!"

Jiang Chenghai smiled and ran back to get the money. Hearing his father say that, he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

While her uncle went to buy various things, An Yue and her grandfather tied the cow to a tree on the side of the road. The two of them simply sat on the ox cart and rested while waiting for Jiang Chenghai to come back.

An Yue looked at her uncle's back, who was as happy as a child, and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, my uncle must have been very naughty when he was a child, right?"

Taking advantage of the free time, my grandfather sat on the ox cart and slowly started smoking a pipe.

He wrapped a pipe and said slowly, "When your uncle was a child, he was famous for being naughty in the village."

"When he was his age, he would often go with three or five other kids from the village to climb trees and take bird eggs."

"In the summer, he would go to the fields to catch eels. He especially liked to stir up trouble with Zhang Kai."

"Zhang Kai is one year older than him. The two of them went to steal chickens from Widow Zhao's house, took them to a secluded wasteland, roasted them and ate them before returning home."

"Later, Widow Zhao came to our house and cried a lot. In the end, your grandmother had no choice but to compensate her with two half-grown chickens."

"Later, when he was your age, he and Zhang Kai would often go out fighting."

"Because of the chicken compensation, your uncle often bullied Widow Zhao's son. Her son has always been weak, so he often beat him so hard that he dared not go out."

"I gave him a good beating for this! At that time, your mother and grandmother always protected him and would not let me beat him."

"Because of the many times of protecting him, it almost led to a disaster later."

When An Yue heard this, she asked curiously, "What kind of disaster is it?"

"He and Zhang Kai went to the village entrance, blocked the village chief's son, and beat him up so badly that his face was swollen and black. I was really scared at that time. They were so small that they couldn't tell the severity of their blows."

"Later, in order to calm the matter down, your grandmother took your uncle and the two big roosters from home to the village chief's house to apologize, and that was the end of it."

"Later, when he was about 15 or 16 years old, he stopped fighting and just went hunting in the mountains with Zhang Kai. He was occasionally injured when he came back, but he also brought back a lot of mountain products."

Although my grandfather was complaining about my uncle's mischievous behavior when he was a child, his face was always filled with a smile and his eyes revealed the deep affection of an old cow licking its calf.
