Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

As soon as An Yue and An Nian walked out of the main house, they saw a bundle of bamboo in the yard. They didn't know when their grandfather went to the hill, but he had brought back a bundle of bamboo.

My grandfather was sitting in the yard, dividing bamboo strips.

An Nian watched his grandfather separating bamboo strips. Without even washing his face, he ran over to watch and asked curiously, "Grandfather, what are you going to weave?"

"Grandfather wanted to make a basket specifically for weighing fish."

An Yue clapped her hands and cheered, "That's great! Sister's backpack won't smell like fish anymore."

At this time, my uncle came into the yard carrying a basket of weeds.

The uncle looked at the siblings who had just woken up, put down the backpack and couldn't help but smile and said, "You two little lazy bugs, you just woke up?"

An Yue scratched her head a little embarrassedly and said, "Hehe... I overslept. Oh~ By the way, grandma has already prepared breakfast and is waiting for you to come back to eat!"

The uncle smiled and nodded at An Yue, then turned and walked towards the door of his room, and said to Wei in the room: "Mom has already prepared breakfast, why are you still hiding in the room?"

The family washed their hands and went to the table to have breakfast.

Now that we can earn some money, our family’s food has obviously improved a lot.

In the past, my family ate corn porridge and sweet potatoes for every meal.

Nowadays, each person has a boiled egg for breakfast, and rice porridge with pickled vegetables, which are cabbage and radishes pickled by my grandmother.

After finishing his meal, my uncle wiped his mouth and said, "We'll deliver the fish tomorrow morning. There won't be enough buckets at home. I'll go borrow some from them."

Grandma swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Ah Hai, you don't have to go out to borrow money. They will come over this afternoon to exchange fish for money. Just borrow some from them."

The family had just finished breakfast and were about to leave the table when there was a knock on the door outside the yard.

"Uncle, are you home?" The voice was deep and sounded like that of a strange man.

Grandfather stood up, squinted his eyes and looked out the window at the gate of the yard, took a closer look, and answered loudly: "It's Jin Biao! Come in!"

He walked into the main room and saw that the family had not yet left the table, so he greeted them one by one and called out, "Uncle, aunt, Uncle Ahai, Aunt, I'm sorry! Jin Biao disturbed you!"

Everyone smiled and nodded at him.

The man named Jin Biao looked to be about the same age as my uncle. He was tall and looked a bit honest.

Grandfather asked, "It's okay! We have finished breakfast. What is Jin Biao doing here?"

"This morning I heard from my two younger brothers that they caught fish yesterday and brought them to you in exchange for a lot of silver."

"Jin Biao wanted to come over and ask Uncle, if he could exchange the fish for silver if he brought it to me?"

Grandfather didn't say anything, but turned to look at An Yue.

An Yue was sitting nearby and knew it was Chen Dazhi's eldest son as soon as she heard it.

An Yue said to Chen Jinbiao: "There are enough people fishing this time, let's wait for next time!"

Chen Jinbiao looked at An Yue in surprise, unable to believe that such words were spoken by a little girl.

Grandfather looked at Chen Jinbiao and suddenly said, "Oh...! Jinbiao! This is my granddaughter, her name is An Yue, you can call her Yueyue. You have to ask her about the matter of fishing for money, she has the final say."

Although Chen Jinbiao looked a little honest, he was not stupid. He asked slowly and methodically, "Then... Yueyue, when is the next time?"

An Yue didn't expect that the fish purchasing business only started yesterday afternoon, but someone came to ask about it early this morning.

An Yue thought it was better to wait and see, as there would definitely be others coming to ask questions later.

An Yue wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "We need to think about this matter carefully! Come back before dark tomorrow!"

"That's fine, uncle and aunt, uncle, aunt, wait for Jin Biao to come tomorrow afternoon."

After Chen Jinbiao said goodbye to everyone, his grandparents nodded to him, and then he turned and walked towards the gate.

Grandma put away the dishes and said, "Jin Biao is a child who was raised by us. He has always been honest. He came here so early in the morning. I think his wife sent him to come here to inquire about the news."

Grandfather stood up and prepared to go to the yard, saying, "It's normal for you to come here to ask. If it were you, you would also ask about it."

My uncle smiled and shook his head, then said in a long voice, "It seems... the gate of our courtyard is going to be broken down by someone today."

Afterwards, An Yue and An Nian followed their grandfather to the yard.

An Yue said to her uncle Jiang Chenghai: "Uncle, if anyone comes to ask again, you can say 'come back before dark tomorrow'."

An Yue wanted to see how many people would come and then give a unified explanation.

My uncle said, "What if everyone in the village comes before dark tomorrow?"

Grandfather divided the bamboo pieces and said, "Yueyue, this matter needs to be handled properly. We are all neighbors, and it would be bad to offend anyone."

"Don't worry, Grandfather! I have already thought of a solution for this matter."

When the uncle heard An Yue say that she had thought of a solution, he went to the eaves and casually brought a low stool, sat next to An Yue, and asked curiously: "Yueyue, tell your uncle quickly, how are you going to deal with this tomorrow?"

"Now, if we want to use live fish in the restaurant, we only need four to five households to go fishing at the same time, and we can get enough in one day."

"If everyone in the village comes, then the whole village will take turns fishing, based on families."

Grandfather suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around and smiled at An Yue, praising her: "Yueyue, your idea is really great!"

My uncle scratched his head and asked in confusion, "How can the whole village take turns fishing?"

The grandfather rolled his eyes at his son and explained to him, "Yueyue means that each family can only send a fixed number of live fish each time. This way, the number of fish we purchase can be controlled, and the villagers can exchange some silver for the New Year, and naturally there will be no offense."

At this time, my uncle suddenly realized, "Oh... I understand! This way, everyone can go to the fields to fish and exchange them for money, so naturally everyone will have no objection."

An Yue pursed her lips and said with a wicked smile: "Actually, my uncle is very smart."

He immediately suppressed his laughter and pretended to be angry and said, "Yueyue..., what do you mean? That's too much! Uncle just reacts slowly! He's not stupid!"

Grandfather smiled and said, "You're not stupid, you're just dumb!"

Jiang Chenghai stood up pretending to be angry and prepared to walk to his room. He turned his head and said from time to time: "Dad! Yueyue! You two, the grandfather and the grandson, teamed up to bully me. Humph! I won't play with you anymore!"

Watching their uncle walk away, the grandfather and grandson smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

After wiping the table and sweeping the floor, An Nian ran out and saw his grandfather and sister smiling happily.

Then he asked, "Sister, what jokes are you telling? Tell them to Niannian too!"
