Chapter 143 Not at all
In fact, when he slipped and fell into the water, he lost the rope in his hand, but Yang Song quickly grabbed it back.
"Then come up quickly, and be careful not to damage our fishing nets." Bai Qi's face was full of concern, but she was not concerned about people.
Yang Song climbed up the shore in a hurry, and just as he opened his mouth to speak, he sneezed immediately.
Feeling that everyone's eyes were on him, Yang Song's heart tightened. He could be embarrassed, but his master could not be embarrassed.
So he hurried to explain.
"Um, what? I just saw that I had caught a lot of fish before, so I wanted to go down and see if there are still many fish in this part of the river, so that I can find a place with a lot of fish to cast my net."
Looking at Yang Song who was shivering and trying to make up for himself, Bai Qi said bluntly: "It's winter now."
If you slip, you slip. There's nothing wrong with admitting that you're stupid, but you have to find such excuses.
Even a three-year-old child wouldn't believe this excuse.
"No, it's nothing. The river isn't that cold."
"I just checked, there aren't many fish left here." Yang Song's teeth were chattering. He took a few deep breaths and then finished his words word by word.
When Bai Xiaocao heard this, she immediately became unhappy. What does that mean? Are they trying to blame us for having caught all the fish before?
"Is it possible that you scared the fish away when you hit it?"
White agreed: "That's right." If you can't eat the grapes, they will be sour.
"Uh, this..." Yang Song wanted to say something.
At the side, Lu Xiaohao, who already felt embarrassed to watch, said: "Go back and change your clothes."
If it were summer, he could go swimming to cool down because of the hot weather, but now it's winter.
The wind is stronger near the river, with gusts of cold wind, and it is really cold.
Yang Song sneezed a few more times and stopped insisting. He bowed to Lu Xiaohao and Bai Tao before running away.
Lu Xiaohao coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and smiled calmly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Bai."
Bai Tao smiled and said, "It's okay." She thought to herself, as long as they don't commit fraud against my Taohua Village, it'll be fine.
After Yang Song fell into the river, Lu Xiaohao no longer had the idea of fishing himself and returned the fishing net.
I didn't have time to eat fish for lunch, but I had it for dinner.
Bai Tao asked someone to pick out fish weighing six or seven kilograms each, and she sold them to the mall. The remaining fish were used to make a braised fish meal, and there was some left over.
So, in addition to the meat, the female workers who went to work that day also got a fish weighing more than two or three kilograms.
Bai Dashan: "Our aunt said that everyone has done a good job in the past two days. She has seen it all, so this is an extra reward for everyone."
In fact, they did a very good job. For the reward of a basket of two pounds of meat, some people with quick hands would start working after a quick lunch, and could hammer out three baskets of grass hearts in a day.
“I hope everyone will do well in the future.”
Any fish?
Additional rewards?
At noon, they vaguely heard that the young master was taking people fishing by the river. Unexpectedly, they were also among the group.
The female workers were immediately overjoyed: "Thank you, little boss."
"We will continue to work hard." Someone in the crowd shouted this.
When others heard this, they also shouted.
"Don't worry, young master. We will do our best."
When the meeting ended, the female workers took away ten cents of wages, six pounds of meat in their left hands, and a fish in their right hands.
If we were not on the run and had no place to live, these days would be really good.
In fact, even though they are now on the run, they are able to work, have money, meat and fish, and are much better off than other people.
When the women workers took these back home, they were immediately praised by their families. "Wow, this fish is really big. Yesterday I asked a few people to go to the river to catch some fish, but we didn't get much."
"This piece of meat is really big, it must be three pounds, right?"
"Three pounds and six ounces. I pounded nearly four baskets of grass hearts today."
"I'll work faster tomorrow and see if I can hammer out four baskets. Four baskets contain eight pounds of meat."
Even though my arms and wrists are sore after hammering all day, it's all worth it when I look at the things I brought back and see the happy faces of my family.
On the way to escape, there was no village or shop nearby, and these supplies were extremely useful things.
Now I am not afraid of working hard, I am just afraid of having no work to do.
Every day when they open their eyes, they just eat, drink, defecate and urinate. There is no income. Even those who have some savings at home will feel anxious and confused in such a place. Those who have no savings can imagine what they feel.
The Baijiabao caravan's recruitment of workers also maintained the livelihoods of hundreds of families, preventing them from falling into despair.
Lu Xiaohao and Yang Song looked at the braised fish in the food basket, looked at each other, and couldn't help but think of the scene at noon.
They both sighed (wailed) in their hearts: How embarrassing!
"Ahem, let's eat."
"Yes, son."
This side of Peach Blossom Village.
The villagers had just finished their meal and took out the melon seeds and peanuts when Bai Dayong said, "Auntie, I'll take a few more people to go fishing tomorrow."
There are so many fish in this Qingquan River, it would be a waste not to catch them.
Bai Tao sold 6,000 kilograms of fish to the mall, with the purchase price being ten coins per kilogram, earning 60,000 coins.
It's certainly not much compared to Cao Xin, but she doesn't mind this kind of livelihood that requires no cost at all.
That's how family assets grow, from small to large.
Sixty thousand coins can buy a lot of fruits and snacks for the villagers.
"That's fine." Bai Tao: "Bring three more nets tomorrow so you can play more."
"By the way, there are so many outsiders now, all staring at us, and it's not good to eat green leafy vegetables all the time. There are some assorted dried fruits and vegetables in the warehouse. I've tried them, and they taste good."
"Duoxi, you can take people to distribute it to everyone later, two bags per person."
Bai Tao bought the assorted dried fruits and vegetables at noon. She has now accumulated one million points in the agricultural support channel, which is enough for her to participate in ten draws.
Bai Tao saved up the lottery tickets she received, intending to use them for the construction of the resettlement site.
Bai Duoxi: "Yes, aunt."
Bai Dashan disagreed: "Auntie, just prepare whatever you want to eat for yourself, don't spoil the big guy."
"What kind of world is this now? It's good enough if you don't get hungry. Look at the people outside. They are just short of peeling tree bark and boiling it."
The elderly men and women in the village also nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, auntie, please don't spoil these little brats."
What should I do if I get exhausted by eating all kinds of new things?
Even the elderly men and women spoke up, so Bai Tao had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, I get it."
The old man and the old woman: "..." Looking at the old lady's expression, she didn't really care about what she agreed to.
Perhaps their eyes were too persistent, Bai Tao smiled and said, "Well, people need to have enough food and clothes to avoid illness and disasters."
"I know what I'm doing."
This does make sense.
Bai Dashan: "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
The villagers also smiled and thanked her: "Thank you, Auntie~"
