Chapter 24 The Great Dinner

"Uncle, you are waiting for me here tomorrow morning, my brother and I will send the fish here." Miao Xiaoyan said with a smile.

"But." The middle-aged man was really excited when he heard that Miao Xiaoyan and the two really had live fish for him, but when he thought of the money in his pocket, the middle-aged man hesitated again.

"Uncle, is there any question?"

"Brother, girl, I don't want that fish for the time being." The middle-aged man said falteringly.

"Why?" Miao Xiaoyan looked at him puzzled, isn't his family in a bad situation?Why not take advantage of this opportunity to make money?
"That... that, I really don't have any extra money to buy fish from you." The middle-aged man said with a blushing face. The child's illness is so serious that he has to leave the money for the child to buy medicine.

 So it is!Miao Xiaoyan smiled knowingly, and said, "Uncle, it doesn't matter if you give us money after you sell the fish."

Hearing what the second sister said, Miao Dafu also said, "That's right, uncle, you can wait for us here tomorrow." Although he didn't quite believe what the second sister said, Miao Dafu, who is also poor, could understand this uncle.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you here tomorrow!" The middle-aged man said happily.

Saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Miao Xiaoyan and the two came to a rice shop, weighed a few catties of rice, weighed some flour, and bought some oil, salt and ginger for cooking.

"Brother, I want to buy two water buckets." Miao Xiaoyan said: "Tomorrow I will deliver live fish to Uncle, and they also need to use the water buckets from Uncle's house, so we can't just borrow them all the time."

Miao Dafu thought for a while, and felt that what Second Sister said made sense, so he agreed.
"By the way, I almost forgot to buy candy for Xiaoque and Xiaobao." After buying the bucket, Miao Xiaoyan remembered the promise to the two little guys, and walked to a candy store with Miao Dafu.

 It was already evening when the two returned home. Although they each ate a steamed bun on the way, Miao Xiaoyan still felt hungry.

"Big Brother, Second Sister, are you back?" Xiao Que and Xiao Bao went out to play, and shouted happily as soon as they entered the yard.

"Xiaoque, Xiaobao, do you see what I brought back for you?" Miao Xiaoyan said as she took out a paper bag from her arms.

"It's sugar! I can smell sweetness!" Xiaoque cried happily.

"I smelled it too!" Xiao Bao also exclaimed.

"Second sister is going to make dinner now, and each person is only allowed to taste one piece!" Miao Xiaoyan said.

"it is good!"

Miao Xiaoyan smiled and picked up a piece of candy for the two, then put the paper bag away again, put it back in the room, and said to the two: "I will eat the rest tomorrow, and we will have white rice at home tonight!"

"Wow, that's great! I have white rice to eat!" Xiao Que and Xiao Bao cheered.

Miao Xiaoyan was originally a cook, so she was very particular about food, but in such a poor family, she really couldn't be so particular about it.

Miao Xiaoyan cooked some rice, then killed a fish left in the water tank, put a few slices of ginger and oil and salt, and steamed it in the pot.

But this is a casual meal in the eyes of Miao Xiaoyan, but it is a hearty dinner in the eyes of the other three.

"Second sister, your craftsmanship is really good!" Buque said with a smile.

"You can't talk when you eat fish, be careful of choking on the fish bones." Miao Xiaoyan smiled and picked a piece of fish with fewer bones for Xiao Que and Xiao Bao.

"Big Brother, Second Sister, this white rice is really delicious!" Xiao Bao also said to Miao Dafu contentedly.

"When we have money in the future, we can eat white rice for every meal." Miao Xiaoyan said with a smile.
