Zhou Chunfeng saw that the children's eyes were all looking at her and she really couldn't bear to see them disappointed.

"Okay, we'll cook fish tonight and ask your grandparents and aunt to come over to eat the fish."

Lixia clapped her hands happily, "Great, I'll go call grandpa, grandma and aunt tonight."

Lichun didn't understand anything yet, so when she saw her brother laughing, she just smiled foolishly along with him.

Zhou Chunfeng looked at the children with amusement, "Okay, let's eat quickly. After dinner, Qingming and I will take some fish to the town to sell them."

"I understand, Mom." Zheng Qingming was a little naughty originally, but after his father and sister got into trouble, he grew up all of a sudden.

Looking at her calm son, Zhou Chunfeng felt relieved and sad.

After the family had finished their meal, Zheng Xiaoman took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them, while Zhou Chunfen took her son to the yard to pack fish.

Zhou Chunfeng kept a grass carp weighing two or three pounds and a carp of similar size.

We kept two of the fish at home and sold the remaining nine.

The mother and daughter put the fish basin in the car, and brought an extra bucket of river water for fear that the fish would die on the way.

Before leaving, she told Zheng Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, your brother and I will be back around noon, so you stay home and take care of your younger brothers and sisters."

"I know, mother, don't worry."

Zhou Chunfeng nodded, and pushed the cart out with her son.

Their village is not far from the town, and it only takes half an hour to walk there.

It was just past nine o'clock when the two men pushed the fish into the city.

People coming and going in the town would take a curious look at the fish they were pushing.

Zhou Chunfeng had originally planned to take her son to the market, but not long after they entered the city, people saw the fish in their car and surrounded them.

"Hey, are you selling fish? This fish is still alive and kicking, how do you sell it?"

A sister-in-law carrying a basket looked at the fish on the cart and asked.

Someone wanted to buy fish, so Zhou Chunfeng stopped the car.

"Sister-in-law, we caught all these live fish this morning. The carp and grass carp are all 25 cents per pound. Crucian carp is cheaper, 22 cents per pound. The remaining silver carp is 20 cents per pound."

They got the timing right. It's only late August now and the fish in the pond have not been harvested yet, otherwise the price wouldn't be so high.

The sister-in-law thought the price was reasonable and the fish was fresh, so she said, "Give me a carp."

The two people didn't expect to open so soon. Zheng Qingming responded happily and took out a carp from the basin and put it on the small scale.

"Auntie, this fish weighs three pounds and four ounces. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, this one."

"okay."

Zheng Qingming strung the fish together with a straw rope and said, "Aunt, the total is 85 coins. Take the fish."

The eldest sister-in-law counted out eighty-five cents from her purse and handed it over, then put the fish in her basket and left.

After the first person started, many more people came over one after another.

You buy a carp and he buys a crucian carp, and five of the nine fish are sold out quickly.

The remaining four were bought by the manager of a restaurant.

The shopkeeper's surname is Bai, and he is the owner of the Xinghe Restaurant in the town.

Shopkeeper Bai is white and plump, and speaks very kindly.

Before leaving, Shopkeeper Bai said to the two men, "From now on, if you have fish, you can send them directly to Xinghe Restaurant. If you have other wild animals, you can also send them here."

Zhou Chunfeng hurriedly thanked him and said that she would definitely send him over if there was anything else at home in the future.

All the fish on the cart were sold out, and the two men pushed the cart back.

Passing by a pork stall, Zhou Chunfeng took ten cents and bought a few large bones and pig offal that others didn't want.

After they left, Zheng Xiaoman saw his younger brother and sister playing with the two fishes obediently, so he went into the house with a cup of space spring water.

"Dad, I poured you a glass of water."

Zheng Xiaoman handed the cup of water to Zheng Dashan.

Zheng Dashan took the water and drank it in one gulp. He felt that the water was a little sweet today, but he didn't think much about it.

After drinking the water, he looked at his sensible daughter. There was now an ugly scar on her pretty face.

Zheng Dashan touched her head with a feeling of heartache and guilt, "My daughter, I am sorry for you. If I hadn't taken you up the mountain, you wouldn't have been hurt."

Zheng Xiaoman felt his warm big hand on her head, she looked up at him, "Dad, how can I blame you for this.

If I didn't insist on eating meat, you wouldn't have taken me up the mountain.

I think none of us are at fault, if we want to blame someone, blame that stinky wild boar.

When I grow up, I will definitely go up the mountain to catch it and eat its meat!"

Looking at his daughter's angry face, Zheng Dashan smiled rarely.

"Okay, then I'll wait for my daughter to get me some pork."

Zheng Xiaoman happily put his little head close to his father and said, "Yeah, I will definitely catch wild boar meat for Dad."

The father and daughter chatted for a long time before Zheng Xiaoman came out of the house.

As soon as I came out, I saw that the two little ones had moved the fish to a shady place, for fear that the fish would be killed by the sun.

Zheng Xiaoman walked over and fed each of them a cup of spiritual spring water.

Everyone in the family was malnourished, and the two younger ones were particularly thin and short.

Zheng Lixia is six years old this year, but looks like a child of four years old.

Let alone the little girl, who is only about 70 centimeters tall at the age of three.

The two little ones drank the water obediently and kept saying how delicious the water was.

Zheng Xiaoman patted the heads of the two dolls with amusement, "Okay, play by yourselves."

She got up and went to the kitchen and replaced all the water in the tank with space spring water.

When she came out of the kitchen, she heard the pigs squealing in the backyard, and then she remembered that she had not fed the pigs yet.

"Lixia, sister is going to the foot of the mountain to pick some pig grass. You and your sister should not run around."

Zheng Xiaoman carried the basket on his back and gave his younger brother some worried instructions.

"Go ahead, sister. I will take good care of my sister."

Zheng Lixia quickly responded.

Zheng Xiaoman walked to the foot of the mountain with a sickle in his hand. There was plenty of rain here and the grass and trees were growing very lush.

She found several kinds of wild grass that pigs liked to eat, and she cut them all and put them in the basket behind her.

There was not much time in the morning, so she did not go inside.

When I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I will go up the mountain to take a look.

After cutting a full basket of grass for the pigs, she carried the basket back home.

After arriving home, she fed the pigs and went back to the front after seeing the piglets eating happily.

After feeding the pigs, she found the dirty clothes, sat in the yard and started washing them.

The two younger ones saw their sister washing clothes and ran over to help her.

Although most of the time, I was doing more harm than good to her.

After the clothes were washed, I saw that it was almost noon. Mom and brother should be back soon, right?

Zheng Xiaoman went into the kitchen and planned to cook lunch, but suddenly remembered that people here only eat two meals a day, so he had to give up.

When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely change to eating three meals a day.
