Chapter 75 A Look of Sympathy

Seeing the joy on the faces of Zhang Tiezhu's family, Su Jinse was also very happy.

In the end, Zhang Tiezhu still handed over all the money to Li Hongxiang for safekeeping as before.

The family also discussed to go to the river to collect snails starting tomorrow. There are still snails in the river at this time, and they have to sell them quickly in the next few days. After a few days, the weather will be cold, but there will be no more snails.

So at dawn, the family went to the river to pick up snails with buckets.

Because the water was too cold, Zhang Tiezhu was not willing to let his wife and daughter out and let them stay at home. He took eight-year-old Zhang Zhiqiang and six-year-old Zhang Zhiwen into the water.

Li Hongxiang was worried, and followed her out. When she got to the river, she rolled up her trouser legs and went into the water regardless. One more person would pick up more, so she could go home early.

When I get home, I have to make some ginger soup to drink, so as not to catch cold.

Su Jinse and Zhang Yuxiu deal with the snails that have been raised for a day or two at home, remove their tails, and then clean them, and then cook them in the pan.

The snails at home are only enough to sell today.

……

The snail lions in the small river have not been picked up all year round, but there are quite a few of them, and they are all very big, so many of them were picked up in a short time.

At first, there were not many people in the morning, but no one said anything. Gradually, the sun rose, and many people got up to work in the fields. When passing by the small river at the entrance of the village, they saw Zhang Tiezhu's family picking up snails in the river. Can't help but ask curiously.

"Zhang Tiezhu's family, what are you doing in the river early in the morning?"

Zhang Tiezhu couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, so he had to answer honestly: "It's picking up snails."

Unexpectedly, when the man heard this, he looked at Zhang Tiezhu's family with sympathy. Look at this Tie Zhu's family is too pitiful, he is so poor that he can eat snails and lions!

This snail is hard and has no meat, how can it be eaten!

The man shook his head and left with a sigh.

Unexpectedly, the people passing by also left with sympathy on their faces.

Zhang Tiezhu didn't explain, and he didn't have the time to guess what they were thinking. He just wanted to pick up enough and go home soon, because the water was cold!

An hour later, around eight or nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Tiezhu brought his wife and children home, and Li Hongxiang was about to go to the kitchen to make ginger soup, when Su Jinse and Zhang Yuxiu brought out the boiled ginger soup, it was steaming hot Yes, it's still steaming.

After asking, I found out that it was Su Jinse who reminded Zhang Yuxiu, saying that the ginger soup should be boiled first, and they can drink it as soon as they come back. The ginger soup has been kept hot in the pot, so when it was served, it was still very hot.

Su Jinse and Zhang Yuxiu not only cooked ginger soup, but also boiled hot water.

The four of Zhang Tiezhu drank ginger soup and soaked their feet in hot water. Only then did they feel their bodies warmed up, and they were all sweating a little.

Only now did Li Hongxiang start frying snails again, and Zhang Tiezhu could sell them in the county later.

Today Zhang Tiezhu still took Su Jinse and Zhang Zhiqiang to the county together, envious of Zhang Zhiwen, Zhang Tiezhu was helpless, Ah Wen was too young, and he himself was crippled, so he could not move easily. My child, it will be dark when I go home.

So he was cruel, no matter what Zhang Zhiwen was doing, he just didn't bring it.

Because I left home late, I arrived at the county just in time for lunch, and the snails were still warm.

Today's snails are selling very well as usual. As soon as the stalls are set up at the entrance of Xiangmanlou, the business will come. People who ate it yesterday are thinking about this taste, and they bought it again today.
