The next morning.

Shen Fei got up early and went to see what the big yellow dog and the weasel had harvested overnight as usual.

The big yellow dog might have been tired and did not go out hunting, so he didn't get anything.

And the weasel brought back three more Egyptian mullets.

Shen Fei shook his head.

Seeing that there were really a lot of Egyptian mullets in the creek recently, the weasel's nighttime hunting targets were mostly what it could hunt and eat.

Generally, it would catch whatever it encountered, and Shen Fei didn't ask it to catch anything in particular.

But these two days, it was all Egyptian mullets, which was really a bit tasteless. Shen Fei cut one of the Egyptian mullets into small pieces with a knife and gave it to the weasel family to eat.

The other two were directly rewarded to the big yellow dog.

After a few days at home, the food has improved, and the big yellow dog seems to have a second spring. The meat on its body becomes more and more every day, and the fur becomes beautiful and bright. It is getting rid of the skinny state.

And its appetite is still about the same as before, it eats a lot!

Shen Fei estimated that the big yellow dog can eat about 20 to 30 kilograms of food a day, which can basically be equated with a glutton.

With Erya and her husband coming, Shen Fei doesn't need to do a lot of things. The morning water fetching and breakfast making are all taken care of by them.

Seeing that he has nothing to do, Shen Fei strolled leisurely in the village and walked towards the old Li's house.

When he arrived at the door of the old Li's house, Mrs. Li was just making breakfast.

Shen Fei walked up and asked Mrs. Li:

"Aunt, is Uncle Li at home?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Li glanced at him and said in a somewhat aggressive voice: "If he is not lying at home, what else can he do?"

Lying at home?

Shen Fei was stunned and asked, "Aunt, I just returned to the village recently and don't know much about the situation in the village. What happened to Uncle Li?"

After he said this, Mrs. Li also reacted. Shen Fei had just returned to the village recently and might not know about his family.

Mrs. Li's voice also softened a little, and she sighed and said:

"I forgot that you just came back. Sorry."

"The old man is seriously ill and won't have much time left. What do you want to see him for?"

The serious illness that the villagers refer to is mostly cancer.

Hearing this, Shen Fei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect there was such a thing.

In his previous life, he came back decades later. In addition to the news about his close relatives, he would inquire about it. He really didn't have time to explore the affairs of other people in the village.

He didn't know that Old Li was seriously ill.

After a pause, he said:

"Since that's the case, Aunt, let me tell you. I heard that you are going to sell the cowshed, so I came to ask."

Cowshed? !

Hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyes lit up and her attitude became a little more enthusiastic.

Immediately invited Shen Fei to come in, and at the same time, she went to the next room to pull up her son Li Jianping.

"Jianping, Shen Fei said he wanted to buy a cowshed, you two can talk."

For rural women of this era, such important matters should be handled by men.

Old Li was seriously ill and couldn't get up, so he asked his son Li Jianping to talk.

Li Jianping was a few years younger than Shen Fei. He was also a fisherman and often went out to sea.

Hearing that Shen Fei was asking about the cowshed, Li Jianping said directly:

"The cowshed was built by the cattle-raising team in the past. It is under Shuangfeng Mountain. It occupies a large area and there are no one around. No one cares how much you occupy the space."

"In terms of price, we don't ask much, 2,000 yuan, and we can sign the contract immediately."

Shen Fei had heard about the location of the cowshed from Shen Wenbo last night.

That place is not far from Shen Fei's home, the straight-line distance is about 100 meters, and there is a small ditch in the middle. If a bridge is built, it will be very close.

Just the price, Shen Fei laughed:

"Jianping, I seem to have heard that your cowshed was sold for 1,500 before, why is the price increased now?"

Hearing this, Li Jianping did not show any surprise expression,

He nodded and said:

"Before, I was anxious to treat my father's illness, so I thought of buying it cheap. Now we have given up the treatment, we are not so urgent, so we have to pay the normal price."

In fact, there are not many houses for sale in the village these days, and there is no reference price. How much to sell depends on the negotiation between the two parties.

Hearing this, Shen Fei was not in a hurry.

He said:

"I'll give you a plan, see if it works."

"Go buy the yard and vegetable plot of Wang Laosi's house next to my house."

"After buying it, sell me the yard, vegetable plot, and cowshed for 5,000 yuan."

After hearing this, Li Jianping thought for a while before he understood Shen Fei's intention. 5,000 yuan was enough for this deal, but he still wanted to make a little more, so he asked for 5,500 yuan.

Shen Fei did not agree, and insisted on 5,000 yuan.This price is already high in this era.

The two negotiated for a while and finally decided on five thousand yuan.

......

Just after Shen Fei and Li Jianping had made a preliminary agreement on the house, vegetable field, and cattle shed, he left the Li family and saw his second brother Shen Yong running towards him after walking a few steps.

"There is news!"

"I went to find several former co-workers yesterday to ask about Huang Dapao's situation.

When I went to the town vegetable market this morning, I heard from a former co-worker that Huang Dapao is now carrying a large bag at Dongdao Wharf."

Shen Yong said excitedly as he walked.

Huang Dapao is Xiaowu's adoptive father, whose real name is Huang Zhanpeng and nickname is Dapao!

The last time they went to Huangcuo Village, they didn't find Xiaowu, nor did they see Huang Zhanpeng and the others, and seeing that the old man Huang looked a little strange,

Shen Fei guessed that Huang Zhanpeng and the others should be at home or nearby, and asked Shen Yong to help find out.

I didn't expect to get news so soon!

It's not far from Dongdao Wharf!

It's quite close to the boat from their village.

"Great! Thank you, second brother."

"I'll go home and tell Erya, San'er and the others, prepare the things, and then go to Dongdao Wharf!"

Shen Fei said excitedly.

The last experience in Huangcuo Village made him a little worried about Xiaowu's current situation.

Now that he has news about Xiaowu, he can't wait any longer.

Hearing this, Shen Yong laughed,

"What are you two brothers saying thank you for? Wait for me, I'll take these vegetables home, and go to Dongdao Wharf with you later. Without me, you probably won't recognize Huang Dapao."

After hearing the news, he immediately went back to the village to find Shen Fei. He hasn't gone home yet, and he's still holding the vegetables he bought from the town market.

Shen Fei nodded, "Okay, I'll go home and tell them too."

After that, the two brothers separated.

When we got home, Erya and the others had already prepared breakfast.

A simple pot of white porridge and a pot of lean meat and pickled vegetables, very fragrant.

"Dad, you're back. The third and sixth are up, and we'll have dinner soon." Shen Erya hugged her son and said to Shen Fei.

Shen Fei nodded, took the little grandson from Erya, and teased the little guy.

After everyone sat around the dining table, he said:

"We're not going fishing today. Just now, your second uncle heard that the adoptive father of the fifth is working at the Dongdao Wharf. I'm going to find him at the Dongdao Wharf later..."
