Zhang Shizhong had a very long dream, in which he relived the scenes of himself searching for his sister over the past few decades.

He saw his sister being chased to the edge of a cliff and jumped down without hesitation.

"No, Lan'er, come back, don't jump!"

Zhang Shizhong woke up shouting!

He would have the same dream every now and then.

"Lan'er, where is my Lan'er?"

Seeing the general wake up, Bai, Zhang Qing and the court doctor all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, it's good that the general woke up. The general fainted because of a mixture of sadness and joy. In the future, you must avoid extreme joy and sorrow, or you may damage your heart."

"Zhang Qing, where is my Lan'er? Where is my Lan'er? Where did you see her? Take me to find her, take me to find her!"

Zhang Shizhong got off the bed and shook Zhang Qing's shoulders anxiously.

"General, General, don't get excited. Calm down first. Lan'er hasn't come back yet. She's still in Pingyang County."

Bai was afraid that Zhang Shizhong would get too excited and hurt his heart.

"Lan'er is in Pingyang County. I will go and bring her back now."

"General, wait a minute. The young lady has lost her memory and doesn't remember us. If you go to see her like this, she might be scared. Besides, it's late at night and the city gates have been closed. We can't get out."

"What? Lan'er has lost her memory. No wonder, no wonder my Lan'er didn't come back to find me! I thought she was blaming me for not protecting her well, and that's why she didn't want to come back."

Zhang Shizhong gradually calmed down, looked at the dark night sky outside the window, and slowly sat back.

"How did you find Lan'er? Tell me the whole process."

Over there, the three brothers Cheng Zeli were so excited that they didn't sleep much the whole night.

They got up at daybreak with two panda eyes, not only did they not look tired at all, but they were all full of energy.

The two brothers were so eager to return home that they drove the carriage back to Chengjia Village without even having breakfast.

When the two of them rushed back to Cangwu Town, they happened to meet Boss Cheng and his friends who had just finished selling fish and were about to go home.

The fish today is selling faster than yesterday. Even the fried crispy fish at 30 cents per pound have been sold out.

In order to avoid being discovered, Boss Cheng and his men went down the mountain before dawn.

They thought they had arrived early enough, but when they carried the fish to the place where fish was sold yesterday, they were stunned.

There were so many people. Before dawn, there were already hundreds of people waiting, many of whom were familiar faces from yesterday.

"Coming, coming, they're coming!"

Someone with sharp eyes was the first to discover Boss Cheng and his group.

Suddenly, the crowd became agitated.

"Don't push, don't push, you'll knock my bucket over. Don't worry, we have more fish today than yesterday. We also brought fried fish, which are crispy and delicious!"

"Mr. Cheng, no need to introduce. I'll buy it. I'll buy it all. The fish I bought from you yesterday was so delicious that I even ate the bones. My wife urged me to go to the street early today to buy fish. Please give me ten pounds first."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go too far. There are so many people behind us. There are only so many fish in total, and you bought ten kilograms by yourself. What do you want us to buy?"

"That's right. You're not the only one who likes Mr. Cheng's fish. We like it too. This is the first time in my life that I've eaten such delicious fish. Strangely enough, my grandmother, who hadn't eaten for three days, actually drank half a bowl of fish soup yesterday. What's even more amazing is that she was able to get out of bed and look for food this morning."

"It's really so magical, Mr. Cheng, how do you raise these fish? They are just ordinary carps and crucian carps. Why are they tastier than other fish?"

"Hey! What can I do? Maybe it's because the water quality is good. Our fish all drink mountain spring water. The water is clear and sweet, and the fish raised are fresh and tender."

"........"

In less than half an hour, all their fish were eaten up, and the more than ten pounds of fried crispy fish brought by Cheng Lao Da and his brother were also sold out.

The water of the fried fish is squeezed out, so it is light in weight but large in portion. What's more, it is fried, which means it is high in oil and water, but it only costs thirty cents, which is not expensive at all and a great bargain.

In this way, Boss Cheng and his group made a lot of money today. The money bags around their waists were so heavy that they staggered when they walked.

Even so, there were still many people who arrived late who had not bought any fish. When Boss Cheng and his friends left, they were repeatedly asked to pick more to sell tomorrow.

Boss Cheng met Mrs. Deng again at the town gate. He looked at the two empty wooden barrels and felt a little embarrassed that he had forgotten to leave a few fish for the old lady.

"Auntie Deng, I'm sorry, the fish sold out so quickly today that I can't leave a few for you."

Old Mrs. Deng's face was full of smiles, all the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together, and her smile looked like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Oh, Mr. Cheng, you don't have to leave any for me. I haven't finished eating the fish you gave me yesterday. I came here today to thank you.

Yesterday I went home and used the fish you sent me to make fish soup for my poor daughter-in-law. After she drank the fish soup, she immediately had milk. Now my poor grandson finally doesn't have to go hungry.

Mr. Cheng, thanks to you, you saved the lives of our family of three. You are a good person, and Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless you.

I, an old woman, have no way to repay you, so I can only kowtow to you a few times."

As Mrs. Deng said this, she was about to kneel down to Boss Cheng.

"No, no, Auntie Deng, please get up quickly. I am the younger generation, how can you kowtow to me? You are shortening my life!"

Boss Cheng quickly hid aside and reached out to help Mrs. Deng up. Seeing this, others also came forward to help.

Ta-boo! Ta-boo~

At this time, the sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling could be heard.

"Brother, what are you doing here? Come home with me, it's urgent!"

Cheng Zeli saw a group of people from Chengjia Village blocking the entrance to the town, and the most conspicuous one was his eldest brother.

"Third brother, fifth brother, why are you back again? Did something happen?"

When Boss Cheng saw that his two younger brothers, who had just gone to Pingyang County yesterday at noon, came back again, he thought something bad had happened.

"It's hard to explain in a few words, but it shouldn't be a bad thing. Why are you still standing there? Go home quickly."

"Oh, here it comes."

Boss Cheng turned to look at Granny Deng and said, "Auntie Deng, I have received your kindness, but I dare not accept this gift. You should go home quickly, your daughter-in-law and grandson still need you.

I have something urgent to do and I have to go home. Since the fish is useful to you, come to my fish shop some other day and I will give you a few more fish."

After saying that, he picked up the wooden barrel and followed the carriage to the brick factory.

Back at the brick factory, everyone curiously surrounded Cheng Zeli and Cheng Laowu and asked what had happened. Could it be that Guaibao's abilities had been exposed? That would be a big deal.

"No, it's actually our family affair, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it."

Before Zhang recognized the general, Cheng Zeli decided to keep it a secret from everyone for the time being.

After all, no one knows what will happen next, so we must minimize the damage to the Zhang family.

When everyone returned to the valley, Zhang was rolling up her trouser legs and walking barefoot in the mud to sow rapeseed seeds.

After years of hard work, her hands have become as rough as the bark of an old pine tree, with cracks on the back of her hands and a thick layer of calluses on the palms.
