Chapter 437 Cousin Visits
The weather was getting hotter in late May. Chen Feng had taken Chen Li to the sports school as a "transfer student" many times these days. The little girl had already fallen in love with this place.
Compared with the compound, the children's dance training class in the sports school is more fun.
Relying on her "sugar power", Chen Li has a high prestige in the class. Children like Xiao Zhuzhu have been successfully bribed by her and have become her little followers.
At this time, my uncle Zhou Jing also took a ride from Yingbinlou to Sijiu City.
"Creak, creak, creak."
"Uu——"
The donkey cart stopped at the gate of the compound. The brothers Zhou Fubao and Zhou Dinghai jumped off the cart curiously. Their teenage personalities were somewhat suppressed, and they felt a little uncomfortable and inferior.
"Xiao Feng, Haozi, Xiao Lili, come out quickly and see who's here!" The old lady was washing clothes in the yard.
Zhou Qing was sitting and studying with Ran Qiuye.
Ran Qiuye was also on maternity leave and was bored at home, so she chatted with Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing said that she had never been to school and was not good at accounting, so the teacher Ran, who was fond of teaching, taught her how to do accounting.
Several people who were playing in the warehouse pool came out wearing wet clothes.
After the rainy season in April, the temperature continued to rise in May. By the end of the month, the daytime temperature had reached 4 or 5 degrees.
Fortunately, the wheat outside the city has matured, and the early rice has been planted in April. In addition, the abundant rain reserves brought by the April rainy season have prevented the rice fields from suffering too much impact in May. The key to agricultural harvest in the Hebei Plain still lies in June and July.
If the drought continues for three months, the rain in April will not be enough and there may be a poor rice harvest this year.
"Cousin, why are your clothes wet?" Zhou Fubo came in carrying a bag of seafood, and Zhou Dinghai followed behind.
Zhou Jing paid for the car rental and came in with the remaining bag.
Of course, not all of this is for the Chen family. There is also a bag to be sold to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "We built a swimming pool here and were swimming in it just now."
Today is the weekend and the sports school is also closed.
Chen Feng did not take his sister to play with Zhu Lin, but taught Chen Li to swim at home.
Chen Hao, Hu Bayi, and Wang Pangzi were also there. After getting her family's consent, Li Jie also wore a skirt and played around in the water.
"Uncle, what delicious food did you bring?"
Chen Li ran very fast and first ran to her cousin Zhou Fubo to see what was in the bag.
Zhou Fubo put down the bag, opened the bag, and revealed the seafood inside.
"Cousin, this bag was given to me by Uncle Feng. It contains a lot of large yellow croakers. He was feeding the fish at night and it happened to be a fishing season."
Chen Feng was startled and walked over quickly.
It was indeed a bag of large yellow croakers, and they were all the kind that weighed more than 6 taels!
This is a good stuff. If it were changed to the new century, the price of wild yellow croaker weighing six taels would be more than 300 yuan per catty, and the price of wild yellow croaker weighing more than eight taels would be more than 400 yuan. The price of wild yellow croaker weighing one catty would be more than yuan.
Many lucky fishermen in later generations, sometimes with the blessing of God, catch yellow croaker during a fishing season at sea, and then they become really rich.
A ship can easily carry three thousand kilograms, with a total price of several million yuan!
"What a good thing! Haha, Grandpa, I'll cook you some yellow croaker for lunch!"
"Haha, good." The old man's beard jumped with joy when he heard his eldest grandson's filial words.
The old lady glared at him and was in a good mood.
"The Feng family is too polite. They should sell all these good fish."
Zhou Jing smiled and said, "That's right, but Feng's wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Doctor Zhao said it was a good thing that they were able to breathe in time last time, otherwise all three lives would have been lost."
"Doctor Zhao also asked Xiaofeng what medicine he gave her last time, which could nourish the blood and calm the fetus so well."
The old man immediately said calmly: "Of course it is an expensive tonic."
Children don't care about conversations between adults.
Chen Li was only thinking about whether she could grill fish for dinner. This was what Chen Feng had promised before. She said happily to Zhou Fubo, "Cousin, let's build a stone house and grill fish for dinner in the afternoon."
As a cousin, Zhou Fubo also loved his cute little cousin. He looked at the big yard and said in surprise, "But cousin, there are no stones."
Chen Li said coquettishly: "Yes, there are many stones in the park."
After saying that, his little hand skillfully drew a big circle.
There are indeed a lot of stones in Shichahai Park, but generally speaking, the park management will not allow people to move them away.
"Lily, stop messing around. How could you let your cousin move stones?" Zhou Qing came out with candies and sugar-coated peanuts and distributed them to his two cousins, and also gave some to Chen Li, Chen Hao, Hu Bayi and others.
"Brother, you came at the right time. I have nothing to do at home. I knitted two new clothes. You can give them to my parents later."
"Okay." Zhou Jing nodded with a smile.
"Uncle, what's in this bag?" After looking at the yellow croaker in Zhou Fubo's bag, Chen Li saw the dried clams, prawns, conch meat, etc. in Zhou Dinghai's bag.
Then he looked curiously at the big bag in his hand.
"These are the fish that will be sold to the steel mill. They are all knife fish, hairtail, and black fish. They are not as delicious as the seafood in my cousin's bag." Zhou Jing smiled and touched his niece's little head.
Chen Li was happy.
Chen Feng led his two cousins and moved the yellow croaker into the cellar.
The old lady took the dried goods directly into her room and put them there. She felt uneasy leaving them in the kitchen, fearing that the three little foodies would secretly take them and roast them to eat.
Zhou Fubo and Zhou Dinghai entered the warehouse and were not envious when they saw the six-meter-long and two-meter-wide pool.
Chen Hao said proudly: "Cousin, cousin, our pool is so comfortable!"
"Hey, cousin, the river in our village is much bigger than this one!" Zhou Fubo said with a smile, "We can even fish while swimming."
"Yes, a few days ago, dozens of us stood in a row at both ends and swam from both ends to the center, and finally caught a lot of fish." Zhou Dinghai added: "We drove the fish to the center, and then the fish had nowhere to run, and they all tried their best to jump out of the water. It was fun."
Fatty Wang curled his lips and said, "The water in your river is not clean. The water here is pumped from the well bucket by bucket."
"It's very clean!"
Zhou Fubo took a look at the pool and saw that it was indeed much cleaner than Zhoujiagou.
"Give me the bag, you guys stay up there, no need to go down."
Chen Feng went down with the bag and took the opportunity to seal up a dozen large yellow croakers for later cooking.
The remaining yellow croaker was placed in a wooden box filled with ice.
The Chen family's cellar is not a very professional ice cellar, and its thermal insulation is not very good, so Chen Jianguo specially made a large box, similar to the common multi-box wooden cabinet, and used triple insulation with cloth, cardboard, and steel plates to minimize the melting of ice.
By now, only two-thirds of the ice that Chen Jianguo dug last year remains, which is enough for the Chen family to survive the summer.
Put the yellow croaker in an empty wooden box and take out three yellow croakers.
Zhou Dinghai and Zhou Fubao have already enthusiastically agreed with Chen Hao and Wang Pangzi to have a swimming competition.
Chen Jianjun came out dragging a tricycle, to take Zhou Jing to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to sell fish.
He actually wanted to let his son go, but Zhou Jing was of the same generation as him, and it would be a bit disrespectful to let his son go if he himself didn't go.
