Chapter 4 Discovery

Liang Yimu lifted off the cover on the wooden barrel, revealing a lively fish. Strange to say, it has been a day since the fish was caught. Not only is it still alive, it is also alive and kicking.

Now it's time, there are more and more people in the market, everyone's yelling is constant, Liang Yimu has a low face, and he used to be a scholar, so he can't speak no matter what, Liang Yimei is secretly anxious when she sees it, watching the people coming and going , With an idea, she ran forward to grab a fish, deliberately dropped it on the ground, and then shouted in a childish voice: "The fish is sold, the fish is sold, fresh fish."

Liang Yimu couldn't stop him, seeing the fish fell on the ground, he hurried to pick it up, Liang Yimei took his hand and said: "Brother, sell fish!"

Liang Yimu hurriedly said: "Yes, sell fish, wait for brother to pick up the fish."

Seeing his younger sister yelling, Liang Yilin quickly imitated her and yelled loudly.

Everyone was attracted by Liang Yimei's voice, and when they saw the fish jumping on the ground, they all gathered around with interest, and someone asked, "How do you sell this fish?"

Liang Yimu hurriedly pulled his younger siblings aside, and replied, "Twenty Wen a catty."

The man saw the fish on the ground alive and kicking, so he said: "It's not expensive, just bring me one, just this one."

"Okay," Liang Yimu picked up the fish on the ground, and weighed it through straws, "Master, it's three catties and two taels in total, and I don't want the rest. Just give me sixty cents."

Liang Yimu took the money and handed it to Liang Yimu who was hanging the small bag, and everyone had already surrounded the barrels, "I'll have one too..."

"This fish is really fresh, let me have one too..."

"I want one too..."

…………

Liang Yimu was busy weighing the fish, while Liang Yilin was collecting the money, Liang Yimei was watching from the sidelines, and secretly observing the surroundings. It took nearly two hours for everyone to sell all the fish. Liang Yimu took a hundred cash from the bag Wrap the rest of the money in a cloth and hide it next to her body. Liang Yimei breathed a sigh of relief. The money is not revealed. It doesn't matter where you put it, and she has a smart brother.

Liang Yimu carried the barrel, held his sister's hand and said, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat big buns."

Liang Yilin nodded excitedly, Liang Yimei was also very happy, Liang Yimu bought three steamed buns for six cents, and after the three of them finished eating the steamed stuffed buns, Liang Yimu took his younger siblings by the hand and walked to the grocery store. This family can be said to be poor and poor Now that he has money, the first priority is to buy some daily necessities. Liang Yimu took the two of them back and forth in the market, and when the three of them came to the gate of the city, Liang Yimu's wooden barrel had already put a lot of things.

Before the fifth grandpa came, Liang Yimei took advantage of this gap to observe the people around her. In the market just now, she found that there were still many unmarried women out shopping. Pay attention, but now at the gate of the city, there are still many well-dressed unmarried women who come out to go shopping. Although they don't talk loudly or make too much publicity, they are by no means restricting women as much as in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It seems that this dynasty still treats women More relaxed, at least they can go shopping!

It's a bit sad to think of this. She grew up under the flag of the Five Star Red, but one day she wondered whether she could go shopping! ?But it's better to be alive than to be gone forever!Although the place where she was reborn was not satisfactory, she was still alive anyway!

When Shen Zhengshi's fifth grandpa came, he helped Liang Yimu put the things in the car.Liang Yimu carried Liang Yimei into the car, and Liang Yilin climbed up by himself.The fifth grandpa specially made dung for the city people, and usually helped people in several nearby villages plow the fields. According to Liang Yilin's little friend, the clan took over the fields and houses of the fifth grandpa and fifth grandma. However, the donkey was bought with Fifth Grandma’s dowry. Although the family was thinking about it, Fifth Grandma’s natal family was not vegetarian, and the patriarch didn’t want to make too much trouble over a donkey, so Grandpa Fifth and Grandma Wu took the donkey and left.For so many years, Fifth Grandpa and Fifth Grandma have lived on this donkey.But also because Fifth Grandpa always digs out excrement for others, so there are very few people who take his car. Usually, those who don’t get on the car take his car when they come. When they go back, they take the car at the gate of the city. So there are almost no people who take his car.

So this time there were only three siblings sitting in the car.When walking halfway, Fifth Grandpa said to Liang Yimu: "If you still have this ability, you should work harder. I will take you there two days later. It hasn't snowed yet. If it snows, the river will It will be difficult if the inside is frozen!"

"Thank you Fifth Grandpa, Yimu knows!"

Grandpa Fifth nodded and said, "Avoid this matter in the village, and you will come down a quarter of an hour earlier."

Liang Yimu knew that Grandpa Fifth was going to take care of him alone, his eyes turned red, and he choked up and said, "Grandpa Fifth..."

Liang Yimei also thought Grandpa Fifth was a very nice person, and was very moved by what he did for them.

When they returned to the foot of the mountain, Liang Yimu gave the Fifth Grandpa [-] Wen, and the Fifth Grandpa said angrily, "What are you doing? Take the money back quickly, don't you regard me as your grandfather?"

Liang Yimu shook his head and said: "From now on, the fifth grandpa will take me alone and don't know how much business he will lose, let alone the car money."

Fifth Grandpa knew that no matter how much he pushed, he would never be able to push it away, otherwise the baby might not take his car in the future.So he took ten renminbi and said: "One person in the car is two renminbi, so I'll take ten renminbi." Seeing that he wanted to object, he pointed to Liang Yimei and said, "Meizi is too young. Originally, such a child does not charge money." Yes, it was you who insisted on giving it to me, so I took a penny from her, and I won’t take it anymore if you do this again,” he said with a long sigh: “When your parents were here, you helped us a lot, but now I don’t It's just reciprocating."

Liang Yimu said with red eye circles: "Father said to be filial to the fifth grandpa and fifth grandma..."

Grandpa Fifth also had red eyes, Liang Yimei shouted when she saw her, "I'm filial too!"

The fifth grandpa laughed when he heard this, and Liang Yilin quickly said, "I am also filial. From now on, I will give delicious food and fun things to the fifth grandpa and five grandma."

"Okay, okay, okay, you are all filial...

After the three of them bid farewell to Fifth Grandpa and returned home, Liang Yimu put back the things he bought, and then looked at the weather and thought that it was impossible to go out to collect firewood today, so he had to take Xiao Yilin to clean the house. The thin quilt on the kang was full of worries. It was okay to say that winter had not yet arrived, but if it snowed, the quilt would not be able to survive the winter at all, and the younger brothers and sisters were weak.Originally, there was a quilt at home, and it was a very good quilt, but it was because it was a good quilt that I couldn't keep it. Thinking of that woman's face, Liang Yimu's stomach was churning, and it took a long time to suppress the feeling. There was a stern look in his eyes, he is still young now, let's wait until he grows up!

Liang Yilin saw his elder brother's face was gloomy, he tugged on his sleeve anxiously, and called, "Brother?"

Liang Yimu came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said, "Are you all hungry? Brother, go cook right away."

The fish had been sold out, so Liang Yilin only warmed up the leftover fish from last night's meal. After the three of them were full, Liang Yilin immediately heated up water for his younger siblings to take a bath.Liang Yimei was not used to it, she was already in her twenties, and she even wanted a little kid to bathe her, so Liang Yimu agreed to let her do it by herself, and before leaving, she smiled and pinched her little boy. Face, "My sister knows how to be shy at such a young age! But, you have to wash it quickly, or you will catch a cold."

It's almost winter now, Liang Yimei thinks so.As soon as Liang Yimu went out, she quickened her body movements, thinking of the water that would flow down from her hands, her eyes rolled around, thinking that the water would flow out, and after a while, the water really flowed out, and the water flowed onto her body, Although it's not hot, it's not cold either. On the contrary, the place where it flows feels a little comfortable, as if today's fatigue has gone away...

Liang Yimei was very happy. She felt that the water might indeed be good for the body. Animals have the most sensitive senses, not to mention the fish living in the water. Presumably, they know more about water than humans. Since they like the water so much, look at it. It's okay to come.Liang Yimei secretly decided in her heart, she is still young, and the living conditions here are not very good, she should drink more water from now on, the same goes for Xiao Yilin, and the eldest brother, he is too tired, he has to do so many things at such a young age You should drink well, ah, and take a bath...

She is thinking wildly here, but Liang Yimu is a little worried outside. Now the weather is getting colder and colder. If she is not careful, she will get sick. Not to mention that the family has no money to take medicine, even if she has money, her younger sister may not be cured. Okay, thinking that he didn't care if his sister was afraid of being ashamed, he walked in directly, twisted her up regardless of her objection, quickly dressed her and hugged her to the kang, wrapped her in the quilt Hugged, and said in a serious tone: "You will not be allowed to take a bath alone in the future."

Liang Yilin smiled unscrupulously at the side, and Liang Yimei was a little ashamed and angry. She was already in her twenties, but the other party was just an eight-year-old kid... She stayed under the covers sullenly until Liang Yilin's little friend's fart She was a little more energetic when she took out the cloth bag that contained the money today.

Liang Yilin looked at his brother with bright eyes and said, "Brother, let's count the money!"

Liang Yimu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he was really dizzy today, so he quickly moved his sister in, and Liang Yilin climbed onto the bed with a "stab" and poured out all the money in the cloth bag, "Pa Da "Several times.Liang Yilin had never seen so much money before, and was a little stunned for a while. Liang Yimu was also very happy, but he was calmer. After all, when his father was there, the family was relatively rich. It's different, this is earned by myself and my younger siblings, and it's the only income in the family since my father left.In comparison, Liang Yimei was the calmest one. She felt that the money was not enough at all, and it was so easy to gather enough supplies for the winter...

But she still likes the feeling of counting money...

The three of them lay down on the kang and carefully counted the money. There is a total of 1868 Wen here, plus the 10 Wen given to Grandpa Fifth just now and the money used for shopping today, a total of 1960 Wen was earned, which is nearly two consecutive dollars. Liang Yimu was excited for a moment, he strung together [-] Wen with two ropes, and hid the money in a box under a stone, and hid the rest of the money in a gap in the kang. After packing the things, I turned around and said to my younger siblings: "This is where our family hides money. You have to remember it. You can't tell anyone, especially your aunt, you know?"

The two nodded, and Liang Yimu made the bed. After the two of them lay down, they covered them with thin quilts, and said softly: "Go to sleep, let's go catch fish tomorrow, and wait until we earn money. Let's just buy a warm quilt."

"Is it as warm as the cover my mother gave us before?"

Liang Yimu gave a soft "hmm".

It seems that this family was really well-to-do before, but that aunt was too unscrupulous, even wanting to snatch a quilt!Liang Yimei's vigilance against the aunt whom she has never met has increased to a new level.
