Fight the Giants

  Chapter 118 Intersection

  Mr. Yang stared blankly at the pair of gold bracelets and the pair of silver bracelets in her hand for a long while.

   Then the eye sockets began to redden.

   "Buy, why buy these, waste of money. I can still wear this fishing net to mend the fishing net... It would be nice to save money to buy fields..."

  Turning around, raised his hand and wiped it on his eyes.

  Huo Xi felt a little emotional, how lucky she and Nian'er were to meet such a good pair of adoptive parents.

  Yang Fu covered his mouth and smiled, his sister must be very happy.

   "Sister, Xi'er said, when I earn a lot of money in the future, I will buy you a big gold bracelet that is two or three fingers wide and heavy for your hands. I will also buy several styles for you to wear differently."

  Huo Erhuai looked at Huo Xi with a smile, this is a child who repays his kindness, how lucky he and his mother were to find her.

   Yang tidied up her emotions, put the bracelet in her purse, and carefully put it in her arms.

  Turning around, hugging Huo Xi, and glaring at Yang Fu: "What do I want with such a big gold bracelet? It's not suitable for eating or drinking, and it's also missed by thieves."

Lovingly caressing Huo Xi: "Mother doesn't want those precious things, I heard your father say that you want to buy a field, so our family will save up money to buy a field, and your father and I will take care of it carefully, and we won't let you A few children are hungry, and the whole family is fed and clothed.”

  Huo Xi nodded heavily.

  Mr. Yang entered the cabin, hid the bracelet in the bilge, put away the silver hairpin bought by Huo Erhuai that she received last night, stroked it a few times, and put it away carefully with a smile on her lips.

  Yang Fu and Huo Xi bit their ears: "I don't know what my brother-in-law bought my sister. Xi'er, do you think my brother-in-law bought a gift for my sister?"

  Huo Xi glanced at Huo Erhuai, and whispered: "I should have bought it."

  The corners of Yang Fu's mouth curled up.

  The family reinstalled the cabin panels with a bang, and spent a morning to reinstall the two cabins.

  Looking at the restored ship, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This is their home. It was bare like a cargo ship.

  Mr. Yang flooded the river again, and cleaned the whole boat carefully, and it looked brand new in a short time.

   "Sister, are you not going back to Qionghua Lane?"

   "I won't go back, it's not too cold now, I'll be on the boat with you."

   While talking, he touched Huo Nian's small hands and face, and saw that he was not cooled by the river wind, and because he saw the water again, he jumped up and down with joy, feeling relieved.

  Huo Xi saw that Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi had brought some groceries from home, so she said, "Then let's fish in the river for a while, and sell the goods later."

   "Huh? Don't sell any more?" Bought so many things from Huai'an, are you not in a hurry to sell them?

  Yang is also a little puzzled, she just wants to live with the family, it's not that she doesn't sell goods: "Why don't you bring Nian'er back to live in Qionghua Lane?"

  Huo Xi then explained: "This time everyone is transporting grain to the north, and the people in the city haven't eaten fish and shrimp for a while. Let's take advantage of these few days to catch more fish and shrimp and sell them. We will surely sell them at a high price."

  Besides, everyone has returned from Huai'an one after another. I guess they bought a lot of northern goods, and they are all sold in a centralized manner. Once there is competition, it is not easy to raise the price. Their family just avoided this peak period.

  After hearing Huo Xi's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Yang patted her thigh: "That's not right. During this time, my mother went to the fish market to look for shrimps, crabs, and small fish. Where can I buy them? Whenever someone brings fish and shrimps to sell, they will be robbed. The price is higher than before. Someone wants to pay several times. Tsk tsk."

   Seeing her eyes hot, she wished she could immediately go fishing in the river and sell money.

   "Then let's sell fish." Huo Erhuai made a decision.

  He doesn’t know how to do business, but he doesn’t know how to fish? Good job.

  The family boarded the boat and left the outer city ferry.

   "Sister, have you locked the door? Our goods cost hundreds of taels of silver."

   "I don't know! Your brother-in-law and I locked the door tightly." Hearing that those goods were worth hundreds of taels of silver, Yang's heart trembled. He woke up several times last night and didn't sleep well.

  Listening to Huo Erhuai's story about their going north to Huai'an all night, I felt regretful and didn't follow.

I also heard that Xi'er wanted to buy a field. Thinking about the tens of acres of fertile land of the Yang family, and counting the money and goods in the house, how much money can be sold, and how many fields can be bought, I was surprised and happy all night. , Did not sleep well.

  Hearing that Yang had put the goods in good order, Yang Fu went to whisper to Huo Xi again: "Xi'er, what are you doing with those things you left on the ship?"

  Mr. Yang also went to see Huo Xi.

   "I'm going to send it to brother Zhao Sui and Huo Zhong in charge."

   "It must be given away. We have won their favor this time, and we must remember their kindness. Just keep these linen, sugar and wine, will it be a little thinner?" Yang frowned.

   "It's okay, mother, we are such a family, why do you slap your face swollen to pretend to be fat. Just express our feelings."

   "Okay, mother and your father listen to Xi'er."

  Huo Xi smiled at her, turned his head towards the stern and said in a loud voice: "Father, we have to go to the river berth to do business first, and then go fishing!"

   "Hey, Dad understands."

  Thinking that they might meet Zhao Sui in Hebo, Yang and Huo Xi packed up gifts for Zhao Sui.

   Arrived at the Hebo Office in the afternoon, Zhao Sui was indeed there.

   After handing over the errand, he gave him a large basket of linen, cane sugar, candied fruit from the north and a jar of wine.

   Zhao Sui declined and accepted it.

   "Then I'll lick my face and accept it."

"Don't say that, this time, if you hadn't disclosed the news to us first, and then helped us when loading the ship, my family would not have gone so smoothly this time." Yang said a lot of gratitude to Zhao Sui if.

   It made Zhao Sui feel very comfortable. This family is a person who will remember gratitude.

   "How come we still give out linen. My mother can weave one or two bolts a month, so there is no shortage of cloth."

"Your mother's weaving is from your family. This is the linen from the south that my Xi'er bought. It is said that it was shipped all the way from Huizhou. Let your mother and grandma try it. It is very different from our Jiangnan linen." .”

   "Then I will thank you for my mother and grandma."

   After exchanging pleasantries, many fishing boats came to the Hebo Station one after another. Zhao Sui was also busy, so he bid him farewell and left.

  Leaving the river mooring, the family rowed the boat to open water.

   Sure enough, there were very few fishing boats in the river.

   One is that they are still on their way back, the other is that they are all going to the Hebo Office, and the third is that they are returning to their hometown to report safety or to sell goods everywhere.

  The whole family was very happy and took out all kinds of fishing gear. Fishing nets, shrimp pots and crab pots, fishing rods.

"Brother-in-law, this fish has been raised for ten years, and it is probably a lot bigger." There are two sets of fishing nets in the family, Huo Erhuai just cast a net into the river, Yang Fu was eager to try, and followed him with another set of fishing nets. Sow down.

   "I will be able to catch a lot today." Yang's eyes were fixed on the river, looking forward to a good catch. Just like farmers looking forward to a good harvest, fishermen also look forward to a net full of fish and shrimp.

   Early~ It’s the fishing ban again. Sometimes I will take advantage of the cheap shrimp to buy some and store them in the refrigerator, freeze them with water, and eat them fresh after a while, wow haha, I am a little expert who knows how to live~
