Chapter 5 (1/2)
The next day Gu Guoer still went to school, and Guo Xiang went to the village.
The village is quite large, with hundreds of families. It is mainly built according to a small river called Meihua River on the side.
The river bed is only about ten meters wide, and the water is not deep enough to go boating. However, some people support bamboo rafts to fish on it.
There are mountains around the village, but the mountains are barren, full of weeds and few trees.
Almost all the fields in the village are terraced fields. They are narrow and small. They have to climb slopes. It's hard to plant them.
This place is really poor! It is a typical poor village.
Guo Xiang also read one or two crossing novels in his previous life. He went up the mountain to collect herbs, went down the river to catch fish and shrimp and sold them in the market. It doesn't work here because there's nothing!
Guo Xiang sighed. It seems that he can only go out to make money.
When I went back, I saw someone fishing by the river, so I went up to watch the excitement.
An old man with half white hair was sitting under a tree by the river wearing a hat. Guo Xiang looked over and saw that there were many fish in the bucket, but they were not big. The largest one was three fingers wide, and most of them were small fish with one or two fingers.
Guo Xiang was a little greedy when he thought of the fish soup cooked by his mother in his previous life.
”Sir, do you sell this fish?” Asked Guo Xiang.
”Do you want to buy?” The uncle looked at her and didn't seem to know her, ”who are you? Whose guests? ”
”Er... I'm from Gu Zhennan's family...” Guo Xiang was a little embarrassed. She married disgracefully, and she was a little embarrassed.
”Are you the new daughter-in-law of the family boy? It doesn't look silly! ” Uncle looked at her in surprise.
”That...” Guo Xiang smiled awkwardly. ”I was a little confused a while ago. I just woke up.”
”This is Zhennan to cheer you up?” Uncle laughed.
He cheered me? Don't say, that's really the case, but he is the one who is happy and the one who pays. He has become the head of injustice. Guo Xiang chuckled.
”Would you like some fish? No money, take two. The fish is delicious only when it is fried in pig oil, but who has the remaining oil. No one eats. Take it. ” Uncle said.
”How about that? I can't take your things for nothing.” Guo Xiang said quickly.
”The big carp in the town is only a dollar a kilo. No one wants such a small fish at all.” The uncle shook his head. ”Take it. You're welcome.”
Guo Xiang picked two fairly large crucian carp from the bucket, picked a wicker from the willow around him, made a festival, strung the gills of the fish, carried it, and forced it into the uncle for 50 cents. It's hard for people to fish. They can't ask for it in vain.
It's best to cook tofu with crucian carp. You have to buy two pieces of tofu.
”Sir, does anyone sell tofu in the village?” Asked Guo Xiang.
”Yes.” The uncle nodded, ”old man Liu's house in the east of the village is making tofu. You go early and disappear late. It's too hot this day, and he won't do more.”
”OK, thank you, sir.” Guo Xiang nodded.
Uncle, look at Guo Xiang leaving with a fish. This girl is very polite.
Guo Xiang went to old man Liu's house and bought another kilogram of tofu for only 20 cents. At this time, the things were really cheap, she sighed.
However, old man Liu said that he was selling in the village. If the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town wanted tofu tickets, Guo Xiang remembered that it was still an era of asking for tickets for everything. He had a headache and was too inconvenient.
Walking home with fish and tofu, Guo Xiang thought he could finally change his taste.
As soon as she got to the door, there was a sudden scream in the door. Guo er's heart rending cry came out and frightened her.
He hurried to open the door and saw Guo'er kneeling on the ground and crying at Wang Guiying. Wang Guiying fell to the ground and his forehead was knocking. He was bleeding out.
