Li Xia came out from the courtyard with a bowl.
There were three prawns, a few pieces of sweet and sour fish, and half a bowl of egg soup.
The group of people outside the courtyard stared at the food in the bowl.
Big fish and big meat, this was really big fish and big meat!
She had not been able to see clearly through the crack in the door.
Now that they had seen the dishes up close, although they were mixed together, they were still bright and fragrant, making them salivate.
Old Zhao steamed a few pieces of bacon for dinner. He had eaten meat before.
However, when he saw the prawns in the bowl, the bright orange prawn shells wrapped around the white and tender prawn meat, and the surface was covered with fragrant garlic.
Good boy!
Old Zhao instantly felt that the few pieces of bacon he had eaten tonight were not fragrant at all.
Jiang Shunwang and his wife, Old Liu, Big Sister Cai…The group of people sniffed the rich smell of meat and secretly swallowed their saliva.
Where did Li Xia learn such good cooking skills?
The dishes made were so delicious that even adults couldn't hold it in.
That little fatty couldn't help it!
"I, I want to eat ~! Give…give it to me! Uncle, Uncle Li!"
Big Sis Cai's son, Little Huzi, stretched out his hand to ask for it, but he did not dare to take it himself.
If the bowl was in Big Sister Cai's hands, he would have taken it away long ago.
However, Li Xia was the village's second best hooligan, and even the mischievous Little Huzi was afraid of him.
"Aiya, Li, Li Xia, I'm sorry, don't let him eat. Our Hu Zi already had dinner, how could he come to your house to ask for food!”
Big Sister Cai waved her hands repeatedly, wanting to pull her son back.
Firstly, he felt a little embarrassed.
Secondly, although there were not many dishes in the bowl, they were all oily meat. It was expensive!
"Big Sister Cai, it's just a bite. Don't be polite!”
"Little Huzi, come and get it." Li Xia smiled.”
Little Huzi only dared to step forward after Li Xia said that. He took the bowl and saw a small wooden spoon in it.
Little Huzi couldn't wait any longer. He used a small wooden spoon to take a bite of the egg soup.
Little Huzi was stunned for a moment when the tender and delicious egg custard entered his mouth. Suddenly, he burst into tears.
Everyone was shocked.
Li Xia and Chu Mengxi were also shocked. Why was this little fatty suddenly crying? Could it be that there was something wrong with the egg custard?
But on second thought, that was not right. He had eaten the egg custard before, so there was no problem!
The only problem was that it was too delicious!
What was wrong with Little Huzi?
Big Sister Cai's face turned pale, thinking that her son had been scalded.
She quickly ran over to check on Little Huzi.
"Son, what's wrong? Did you burn yourself? Quickly tell Mom!"
Little Huzi shook his head.
Aunt Wang also came up to check on the situation.”
Big Sis Cai pried open Little Huzi's mouth to see if there was anything in his throat.
Little Huzi shook his head again.
Everyone was puzzled. What was wrong with Little Huzi?
Little Huzi suddenly spoke.
"Mom, this egg custard is too delicious. Sob, sob, sob!”
Little Huzi's words stunned everyone.
She thought that something had happened, but it turned out that she was crying from the delicious food!
Look at him!
Little Huzi was almost done crying, so he continued eating.
After eating the prawns and fish, she started crying again.
"Fried chicken with prawns and fish is also delicious! Wuwuwu ~!"
This scene was very comical.
Li Xia and Chu Mengxi looked at each other and both of them wanted to laugh.
Old Zhao scratched his head. Was it really that delicious?
This was the first time he had seen someone cry from eating so well.
Little Huzi's reaction was too exaggerated, and the people around him could not help but want to try it.
However, how could an adult snatch food from a child? They could only watch helplessly.
His heart was tormented…
In just two minutes, Little Huzi finished all the food.
He licked his lips, still wanting more.
He licked the bowl again, not letting go of any leftover soup.
Big Sis Cai held her forehead, feeling utterly humiliated.
After returning the bowl to Li Xia, Big Sis Cai hurriedly pulled Little Huzi home.
After the excitement.
It was suddenly quiet.
Everyone looked at Li Xia and Chu Mengxi in unison.
His heart was filled with doubts.
Weren't the couple getting a divorce?
Why did it seem so harmonious now?!
Also, wasn't his family the poorest in Shangrong Village?
How could he make fish and meat every day?!
The gossipy uncles and aunties couldn't ask these questions directly.
All the changes were unpredictable.
The most curious person was Jiang Shunwang's wife, Aunt Wang. She lived next door, but she didn't know anything.
He could only smell the alluring fragrance of the dishes and suffer.
……
Dusk fell.
After Chu Mengxi cleaned up the kitchen, she played with the two little ones.
Li Xia pulled Chu Mengxi to the side and took out the earnings from selling fish today.
The total was seventy-four dollars and forty cents.
Chu Mengxi's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the thick wad of money that Li Xia handed over.
At the top were the three great unity cards.
" Sold this, so much money?!"
If she hadn't seen him catch a huge tank of fish last night, Chu Mengxi would have suspected that he had gone to steal.
The money he earned in a day was less than what he earned in two months.
This was too exaggerated!
"We've sold 70 to 80 catties of fish, and we've also sold a few catties of prawns and eel. The money is here.”
However, Chu Mengxi shook her head and refused to accept it.
"Just keep the money. You gave it to me yesterday. It's enough.”
"Silly girl, who would complain about having too much money?”
Li Xia forcefully stuffed the money into Chu Mengxi's hands.
"In the future, I'll be in charge of earning money to support the family, and you'll be in charge of being as beautiful as a flower. At the end of the month, you'll quit your job at the textile factory.”
After hearing Li Xia's words, Chu Mengxi was stunned for a moment before her face turned red.
"What beautiful as a flower?”
Li Xia was very serious." My wife's beauty is one of the best in the country. If you don't believe me, go ask around tomorrow and see if I'm right."”
"Can you be more serious?"
Chu Mengxi's face had already turned red to her ears.
"I'm very serious!"
Li Xia stared at Chu Mengxi without moving, admiring her beautiful face from a close distance.
Chu Mengxi's heart thumped wildly.
Just as Li Xia's head was getting closer and closer, the sound of two children playing outside the door could be heard.
Chu Mengxi instinctively stood up and lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Xia.
Li Xia sighed softly, feeling that it was a pity.
"Don't give me all this money. Keep some for yourself. You need money to do business.”
In the end, Li Xia left 30 yuan and gave the rest to his wife.
Chu Mengxi accompanied the child while Li Xia went fishing.
Before he went fishing, he knocked on Jiang Shunwang's door.
Aunt Wang opened the door.
"Aunt Wang, are you selling your handcart?" Li Xia went straight to the point.”
Aunt Wang was stunned. This handcart was not used at home. It belonged to the category of " it takes up a lot of space and is a pity to throw it away ".
Previously, Li Xia had lent the cart to two fish, and Aunt Wang had gotten a huge bargain.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to return it.
He didn't expect that he still had to buy that cart!
"You really want to buy this cart?" Aunt Wang confirmed.
"Yes, I'll give you three yuan." Li Xia smiled.
Aunt Wang's heart jumped. Three pieces!!
This kind of handcart was only sold for five yuan in the market. No one wanted the old one even if it was sold for two yuan.
Aunt Wang was afraid that she had heard wrongly.”
"Yes."
"You can't go back on your word!"
"I won't go back on my word."
Li Xia was very straightforward and stuffed three yuan into Aunt Wang's hands.
Aunt Wang kept the money away excitedly and looked up at Li Xia.
"What are you using that cart for?”Aunt Wang asked, puzzled.
"Sell the fish in the county town."
"Selling fish? Caught in the river?"
"Yes."
While Aunt Wang was shocked, the doubts in her heart were finally resolved.
No wonder their family ate either fish or prawns.
Aunt Wang looked at Li Xia from head to toe and had a new understanding of him.
This street punk was really capable!
The fish in the river were not so easy to catch. Otherwise, the villagers would have been rich long ago.
