Everyone knows that doing business requires dedication, even the Xue family who have been hunting for generations. Deep-frying fish, not pan-frying, requires keeping the fish intact as required by the boss. The pan is big enough, but where does the oil come from?

Xiao Meiniang looked at the rapeseed oil that had just been squeezed at home, with a cold face and no words. Xue Shanlin and Xiao Qinshi sat on the side. Xue Shanlin lowered his head and stepped back habitually; Xiao Qinshi avoided her eyes and tried to avoid meeting Xiao Meiniang's eyes. However, Xue Lisong lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes before saying, "There is not much oil at home. I will go to squeeze it in the next two days. I will use the oil jar in your house."

Xiao Qin opened her mouth to speak, but Xiao Meiniang said, "We don't know if we've caught any fish yet, and we can't be sure if this is a long-term business."

She closed her eyes and said, "Well, this month we will use one jar of oil first, and if it lasts long enough, you can make up for it later."

She looked at Xiao Qin and said, "Mother Songzi, what do you think?"

Xiao Qin looked at the snowy forest. Although she felt sorry for the oil that would come out later, she still smiled and said, "Of course that's good. Sister-in-law, how could you be wrong? Haha..."

Xiao Meiniang raised the corners of her mouth slightly - if she gets the advantage, she will say you are right!

The four Xues went fishing together. Xuelili used the excuse yesterday that she only had one fishing line. Seeing the profit, Xiao Qin quickly found another pin and started making it. Now that the preparations were in place, Xuelili couldn't wander around and could only control her temper and go fishing together.

Xue Yaya sat steadily and said, "Grandpa, what should we do on rainy days? How will they account if we catch too much or too little? Have you explained everything?"

"It's clear, we want as many as we can, but we want big ones. We sent that size yesterday." Xueshan Hong moved the fishing rod: "Your father is simple, but your uncle Songzi is steady. Your grandmother also reminded them of what you mentioned, so don't worry."

Xue Yaya smiled and swung the fishing rod. With a snap, a big fish came ashore. "It's not easy to catch fish when it's raining, snowing or freezing."

If there is no fish, won’t the supply be cut off?

"That's a matter for the future. If there are more, just keep the fresh ones at home." Xue Shanhong was aware of the details. Xiao Meiniang and he had thought it through clearly.

Xue Yaya saw that her grandfather knew what was going on, so she stopped talking. She turned around and saw Xue Qianren, who looked innocent and thoughtful. Xue Yaya blinked - Xue Qianren in the book dropped out of school after graduating from elementary school. He was born with a quick mind and pretended to be honest at first. After the Cultural Revolution began, he took the opportunity to become a revolutionary, and continued to add fuel to the flames in the later period to accumulate his own wealth. During this period, he did a lot of burning, killing and miscellaneous things. Later, he had a dispute with the Lin family and even wanted to take action against Lin Fubao. He was hacked to death on the street by Lin Fubao's supporters...

When Lin Zhengying and his men arrived with Lin Fubao, Xue Yaya had already caught two big fish, and Xue Qianren also caught two, one large and one small. Xue Shanhong and Xue Lili didn't catch any. When Lin Fubao and his men arrived, even Xue Lili, who was so unstable, caught a big fish...

Before the end of summer, the fish from the Xueshan Hong family and the Xueshan Lin family made a lot of money for the two families. Xiao Qinshi stopped cursing and generously took the initiative to send the oil jar to the Xueshan Hong family. She calculated very clearly that the oil must be paid for. Xueshan Hong and Xiao Meiniang would not take advantage of her family. But if the fish were fried here, it would not only waste water, but also firewood.

In fact, the Hong family in Xueshan looked down on this income. After all, they used to make as much money from selling fish in the pond as they do now, and it was even easier. Now they have to kill and fry fish. Xue Yunyun and her friends go home, put down their schoolbags, and go to the foot of the mountain to tie firewood. Bai Xiuying also has a lot more work to do, and Xue Lier has to carry water a few more times. Xue Lisong and his wife come over every day to help, and Xue Libai will also come with two buckets of water or two loads of firewood.

The two fishing and selling fish business was on track, and naturally some people in the village were jealous and tried to imitate them, but they either couldn't catch any fish or caught only small fish. Of course, some people found Xue Yaya's specially prepared bait, but knowing that she made a living from it, few people dared to ask for it. They just secretly learned to mix it, but unfortunately the effect was minimal.

Lin Zhengqiu privately asked Xue Duoduo if the fish was easy to sell. After hearing that Xue's fish had to be cleaned and fried, Qi Ying exchanged the fish with the villagers. Xue Shanhong also made a decision that made Xiao Qinshi unhappy, that is, if the fish caught was small and still alive, he would throw it back into the village pond. Xiao Qinshi disagreed, but Xue Shanhong did not touch the fish caught by her two children, so she could only let it go.

She secretly wanted to catch the fish that Xueshan Hong had thrown out, but the strange thing was that the fish disappeared as soon as they entered the pond.

As the day gradually brightened, Xiao Meiniang felt sorry for Xue Yaya and said to Xue Lisong and his wife, "The fish in the river will eventually run out. The weather is getting colder. You brothers should hurry up and go to the mountains. You might as well stop the fish business."

Xue Lisong was somewhat tempted. The profit from selling fish was limited, and it was indeed not as real as going up the mountain. It was already a good profit if he didn't miss the money this summer, so he couldn't be too greedy! Xue Lisong said, "You are right. I will go back and tell my parents."

"It's not urgent in one or two days, but the child won't be able to stand the cold weather. Go back and talk to your parents, and after you make the decision, you must also talk to the store owner."

Xue Lisong nodded, and Xiaowen stood by without saying a word. Although her daughter was unreliable, she still felt sorry for her. Xue Qianren was just her nephew, but she was the one who brought him up. Seeing the child become dark and thin after a summer, she felt even more reluctant.

Speaking of which, Xue Qianren lost his mother when he was born. Xue Libai, a grown man, couldn't even take care of himself, so how could he take care of his little son? As for Xiao Qinshi, she took care of the baby for two days, but unfortunately, the little baby was full of urine smell, which Xue Shanlin couldn't stand. The child was not clean, cried day and night, and had a rash on his body. Xiaowen originally wanted to take care of his nephew, but Xiao Qinshi was afraid that people would say that she was not a dedicated grandmother, so she refused. Xiaowen even accused her of having bad intentions when he approached her...

Xuelibai listened to his little son's cry, and for once he showed his strength, he carried his son to Xiaowen's door and said, "Sister-in-law, please help take care of him!"

Xiao Qin was unwilling to accept this. The old ladies in the village would definitely say that she was lazy behind her back. She stretched out her hands to hug him back: "How can I not love my own grandson? I took good care of him..."

Xue Shanlin went back to see the situation, and quietly put the shovel in front of Xiao Qinshi, between her and Xue Libai:

"Big Boss's wife, please help take care of Renzi. Just be a little more careful. At least it's a life!"

Xiaowen: ...

Xiao Qin was stunned for a moment and then started to howl: "You damn old man, are you saying that I will kill my own grandson?! Do you still have a conscience when you say this——"

Xue Shanlin raised the shovel and said, "Try to howl again!"

Xiao Qinshi: ...

Xiaowen then calmly brought Xue Qianren to his side, applied medicine to her and changed her clothes. Soon, Xue Qianren grew up like a balloon.

Now that Xiao Meiniang proposed to stop selling fish, Xiaowen did not disagree.

However, Xue Qianren was not happy when he found out. He put his arm around Xiaowen's waist and said, "Aunt, I can catch a lot of fish. I can buy you a scarf when I make money!"

Xiaowen felt so sweet in his heart that he picked up Xue Qianren and said, "Auntie knows that we are filial. Auntie has a scarf. Xiaowen just needs to grow up well!"

Xuelili rolled her eyes behind him, then smiled and said, "Mom, if I have nothing to do, can I go find Fu Baowan?"

Fubao? The Lin family's precious baby? Is he about the same size as Renzi? Xiaowen was puzzled:

"How old are you? Why are you playing with a child that small?"

"I like Fubao, Fubao is good!"

Xue Lili didn't dare to speak her mind, she just raised her head and shouted loudly. Xue Qianren lowered her eyelids and pursed her lips unhappily.

Xiaowen was not tough on this, and just said: "Even if you like him, he has to like you. I won't stop you, but Fubao is young, don't bully him!"

Xue Lili smiled and nodded: "No bullying!"

I just want to do good things! Xue Lili thought that every time Fubao went there, she could catch fish. She felt that Lin Fubao was definitely the noble man in the legend. She loved listening to people tell stories, especially listening to Grandma Zhang's stories. There were many noble people who could make people around them rich. Every time they went fishing, only Xue Yaya and Xue Qianren could catch one or two fish. Uncle Cousin and she couldn't catch any (she didn't admit that she was impatient and couldn't sit still). Lin Fubao was so small that they caught fish one after another. The fish caught by the Xue family were big fish that were fried and sent to the town. The extra fish caught by the Lin family were either sold or exchanged to the village. Even the neighboring villages came to buy them when they had emergencies.

Xue Qianren glanced at her sister who was still daydreaming, and followed Xiaowen to the vegetable garden: "Aunt, I just like you!"

Xiao Wen looked at Xue Qianren's serious expression and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Auntie also likes us Renzi."

She picked a winter melon and said, "Sister Yaya, you're not happy either?"

Xue Qianren lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Ya Ya doesn't look like a sister."

Like her elder sister, Yaya knows more than her elder sister—"Yaya is happy, but not as happy as auntie."

Xiaowen couldn't help but hold Xue Qianren in his arms and kiss her. This little guy, I don't know where he learned these sweet words, he can melt her heart!

"Be good, Renzi, go play with Yaya Qianyan. This winter melon hair is itching!"

Xue Qianren's skin is prone to allergies, but as long as he sees Xiaowen, he will follow her and refuse to leave. It is difficult for Xiaowen to coax him to leave.

"I want to follow my aunt!"

"Go see if sister Yaya and uncle are still fishing."

She had no other choice. A little kid didn't want to play with other kids his own age, but just wanted to follow her. She had played well with Yaya and Qianyan in the field before.

Xue Qianren's eyes lit up: "Then Aunt, I'll go take a look."

He ran a few steps and looked back at Xiaowen. Xiaowen smiled and waved, and then he ran towards the direction of the Hong family in Xueshan.

Xue Yaya doesn't care whether she fishes or not. She will stick to anything that can change her life once she has determined the direction. But if there are other ways, she is not opposed to change. To put it bluntly, she is a very tenacious and flexible person. But Xue Shanhong is different. He is addicted to fishing. He doesn't like tobacco or alcohol, and now it's a rare hobby. Xiao Meiniang didn't let him fish, he felt very aggrieved, and got angry with Xiao Meiniang for the first time: "Can't I fish for fun in the future? Do you have to put away the rod?"

It was the first time that Xiao Mei Niang saw her old man get angry with her. She didn't react for a moment, and finally stared at Xue Shan Hong as if she was watching a foreign spectacle. Xue Ya Ya covered her mouth and laughed, and Xue Shan Hong saw her and blushed. Xue Ya Ya said, "Grandma, we are fishing for fun, not to make money, is that right?"

Xiao Meiniang's lips curled up slightly: "It's rare that your grandfather gets angry, so I must win!"

"Hit" a hammer! Xue Shanhong's face turned even redder: "I won't delay the work in the field."

God knows who is worried about this. Xiao Meiniang winked at her granddaughter. Xue Qianren outside the door said, "Grandpa, I want to fish too!"

Xue Qianyan was originally riding a small stool pretending to be a big horse, but when he heard his cousin's voice, he turned to Xue Shanhong and said, "My uncle, I want to fish too!"
