Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet

In the early morning of the next day, when the three women went down to the ground, they deliberately walked to the door of the Su family, each holding half a basket of potatoes, cabbages, and so on, standing at the door of the Su family courtyard and looking at each other, they were all afraid to knock.

The three of them were still hesitating, and the courtyard door opened from the inside. It turned out that the young silver and the young pearl came out carrying the clothes and going to the river to wash the clothes. Seeing the three aunts standing at the door, the two hurriedly put down the wooden bucket carried on a pole and looked at the three with some precaution: "Are you?"

"Are you the younger sister's sister? Yesterday, you gave us a fish, and our villagers are not so good, so I will send you some fruits and vegetables to come and eat anyway. Is your adult alive?" One of them? The leading woman asked with a smile.

As soon as I heard that they had brought something for their home, both of them happily greeted each other, and then Yuzhu turned around and called Yujin out. You Jinyi heard that three women from yesterday had brought something to her house. They wiped her hands and hurriedly came out: "Sister Ge, what are you doing? I didn't give you the fish for your family!"

The woman named Aunt Ge said with a smile: "I know you don't want these. Although we are poor people, we are not those who love to take advantage of it. Even if we give you a little bit of housewarming." Both of them nodded and said, "Yin Jin sees that he can't get rid of it, so he half-pushed and half received the goods sent by the three, and then invited the three into the house to drink."

The three stood at the door and looked at the yard where there was no barren air inside, but they were still a little scared in their hearts, and they all shook their heads: "We have to go to the ground, come back next time." Turned away with the empty basket.

The two younger sisters looked at the potatoes, cabbages, and pumpkins that had been filled in their baskets and said happily: "Sister, this has been enough for our family to eat for a few days?" Now all the food of the Su family is to be bought, three people The aunt sent them enough food for a few days, and they can save a lot of money!

What Young Pearl thought was that since the three fishes had been replaced with a basket of fruits and grains, could they also be changed? He suggested to Young Jin: "Elder sister, shall we exchange some food with the villagers for fish?"

Youzhu didn't say that, Youjin didn't expect it at first, but when she said that, she gave birth to the idea of ​​selling fish: "The three aunts are willing to send us fruits and vegetables, that's what people want, but if we come directly to the door Change, it seems a little mad at the family, if they feel that we do n’t need anything for the three aunts, and they need something for them, what should I think? "After a pause, I said," But what you said about Youzhu also makes sense. Although we are not easy to sell in the village, we can get it for sale in Luohe Prefecture! "

It was a little unhappy that she was rejected by the elder sister, but when she heard that she could sell it in the city, the young Pearl's eyes lighted up a little bit at once: "If you get the city to sell it, you can sell it more expensively!" You can earn more money and buy more food!

Looking at You Zhu's fortune, You Jin also chuckled: "Look at the little money fan who fell into the eye of your money. Okay, go wash your clothes with your second sister. I'll go home after I've done my job. Let ’s see if we can fish in the river enough to sell in the city tomorrow. ”Now the Su family and the Su family are still confinement, and all the family members are in control of the young people. There are many things to worry about. But making money is the top priority.

In Wuliqiao Village, there is no fisherman who specializes in fishing. The fish in the river are all eaten fat. Young gold sits under the old tree of Heji for a day, but it has harvested a lot more than yesterday. There are nineteen kinds of fish in total, five of which are big fish weighing nearly three catties, and small ones are about half a catty.

Carrying a heavy wooden barrel back home, the younger sisters looked at a bucket full of fish, and all were very happy: "So many fish!" "Can I eat fish again tonight!" "Can Have you changed some money? "

Young Jin said with a smile: "Tonight we still eat the fish we caught yesterday. These can't be eaten, but these are going to be exchanged for silver in the city! When the silver is changed, the elder sister will buy meat for you. "When I heard that I could eat meat again, a few small ones were so happy that they clapped and cheered.

Su Shi, who was holding the child beside him, smiled and shook his head. He said strangely, "You, others get the money before they save it. If you do well, you have to think about how to spend it before you get it." That being said, after all, there are so many children in the family to support now, and it would be really inappropriate if there weren't any money around.

Young Jin could n’t agree with Su Shi ’s opinion: “Mother, Yinzi earned money for flowers, let ’s say our older ones are okay, the sisters are all grown up, you have to feed Xiaoba and Kang'er, Where can I not eat enough? "The children of the Su family are chronically malnourished, and their noodles are like dishes. The young gold also takes this into consideration, so he changed the way to find food for several sisters. It's a bit.

Su also knows that several children have suffered a lot. They could not protect themselves when they were in Yue's house. Where can they protect them? Now that I have finally separated from the Yue Family, it is now the credit of the young gold man for a few days of comfort. So thinking about it, Su Shi felt that he should not care so much: "Young gold, the mother ’s children, You are the most sensible and the most capable, and the future mother doesn't care about you. As long as you think it is feasible, you can do it. "She can't help her daughter, then try not to hinder her!

Young Jin saw the words of Su's heartfelt and was very happy in her heart, saying: "Everyone in our family is good, as long as we are united, we will always have a good life!" Then, one by one, nodding like chickens pecking rice, everyone believes that his life will be getting better and better. After all, isn't it much better now than before?

In the early morning of the next day, the sisters of Youjin and Youyin carried wooden buckets full of fish on a pole and walked along the Wuliqiao River to the edge of the official road. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, they waited for the cattle to attract the riders along the road The car cost three bucks, and the sisters got into a bullock cart with a bucket of fish and went to Luohe Prefecture.

In the bullock cart, in addition to the two sisters of the Su family, many women from nearby villages went to Luohe Prefecture to catch up. In fact, Luohe Prefecture does not have a fixed market day, because it is a relatively large town, and the daily market is full of people, and there are many people in the city, so there are many people who pick vegetables and sell them nearby. .

The bullock cart didn't go to the south gate, the sisters got out of the bullock cart, and paid two more money to enter the city, and then they joined forces to carry the heavy wooden barrel into the city, and then went to the west market selling vegetables and meat.

It ’s not too early for the young gold and silver to come, most of the stalls in West City have already been occupied, and the sisters have searched for a while before they found a small gap near the woman who sells vegetables. The two barrels with pain in their shoulders were put down. As soon as the two men put down the wooden barrel, a young woman carrying a vegetable basket came and asked, "Little girl, how do you sell this fish?"

Seeing the guests at the door, Young Jin smiled eagerly: "Sister-in-law, we have seventy essays of big fish, twenty essays of small fish, all sizes, how big are you looking at?"

"Seventy text is so expensive?" The little woman looked at the fish packed in a bucket with a little disgust: "People selling pork are only twenty-eight pounds. Your fish is almost more expensive than pork. . "

Young Jin reached out and grabbed a red-tailed carp weighing about four pounds from the water in the wooden barrel. The carp was struggling in the hands of the young Jin, and the fish scales seemed to be gleaming in the sunshine. "Look, little sister-in-law This fish is four pounds less, and the seventy text is not expensive! This lively fish, but fresh from the water, is delicious when you go back to stew and eat fried! "

The little woman looked at the big carp and it was indeed alive, thinking about her husband who was studying at home a few days ago, she was still nagging and wanted to drink fish soup, and she was moved: "I do n’t want this big one, you find me two crucian carp Let's go! "It is said that the crucian carp stew is the best way to make up the body. It's good for Xiang Gong to study hard and drink some fish soup to make up the body.

The young gold hands and feet took the straw from the family of last night handed over by the young silver, and quickly pulled out two half-jin catfishes from the water: "Little sister-in-law, how about these two? , How about twenty-five essays in total? "Seeing her nod, the young Jin passed through the straw with the straw, and the two crucian carp with their tails reached the little woman's hand, and they took over 25 copper plates. Respectfully gave away the little woman.

There was some young silver who was afraid to speak out and didn't expect to sell two fish so quickly, and earned 25 liters of money, and was very excited: "Sister, this fish can really sell silver!"

Young Jin also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the price he sells is not too expensive, and the consumption capacity of this Luohe Prefecture is definitely better than that of the people in Liutun Town. This fish must be sold out today, laugh The author said: "When the fish is sold out, let's buy a few more chicks and go back to raise them. After we raise them, we can lay eggs for you to eat." Anyway, now the house is big enough, and we can't afford piglets. Raising a dozen chickens is also a good choice.

Most people who come to buy food in the morning are people who live in the city. Now in March in Yangchun, it is the most fresh season to eat fish. Therefore, the fish brought by the young Jin sisters sold out in less than an hour. . Looking at the elder sister selling the last big carp for sixty-five yuan, Young Silver also made a new understanding of the richness of the people in Luohe Prefecture: "Elder sister, this is too good to sell Right? If we come to sell fish every day, would n’t we be able to make a lot of money? "

Young Jin cautiously stuffed all the silver he got to his chest to hide it. After all, the two were still young. Although there were officers and soldiers patrolling the city, it was troublesome if they were stared by Xiao Xiao. Listening to You Yin's words, You Jin said with a smile: "The fish in the Wuliqiao River are not what you want. Let's talk about it, we will fish out and sell them, willn't anyone else?" I was able to earn some money from these fishes only because of my luck. I caught so many fishes. But once it spreads, the people in Wuliqiao Village are not fools. Do n’t they know that fishing can change money?

Listening to the elder sister's words, the young Yin Yin, who was still in high spirits, was suddenly lost: "Aren't we going to have no way to make money again?" I couldn't help myself with a little busy.

Youjin poured all the remaining water in the bucket and patted Youying ’s shoulder and said, "Relax, I ’m just worried about making money. You have to help my mother take care of the little ones in my family. Let ’s go, let ’s go buy some chicks first, and then some meat to go back. ”Young Yin heard her saying that she still had a place to use, so she nodded happily:“ Well! ”
