Chen Bing thought for a while and then said: "No, brother, I have thought about it. Yun Niang will be busy sewing cloth bags in the old house today. In addition, the sulfur saltpeter bought from Fang Mengshan will arrive today, so Yun Niang needs to stay."

Those who are counting the numbers in the old house. When my brother recovers, he will work hard to prepare sulfur and saltpeter. This self-made fire business is the future of you and me, and we must not let it go."

Chen Tingyao nodded in agreement and said: "When I'm ready, I'll help Yun Niang prepare the sulfur and saltpeter. Er Niang, the longer this fish stays out of the water, the worse it will be. Even if it's alive, it won't be good when it's delivered there."

You will become weak, which will become a reason for the restaurant owner to bargain. Time waits for no one, you go and come back quickly. I won't tell my father and mother about this for the time being. My brother can't accompany you. You are on your way.

be careful."

Chen Bing was moved and didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Chen Tingyao, she found the big red water jug ​​and filled it with water. She had an idea, turned her back to the east room, and drove the fish into the jug.

, then put it in the backpack, took a look at the sky, calculated the time, and became more aware of it, so they set off for Changxing County.

What Chen Bing did in the yard was seen by Chen Tingjun in the east room. He grinned sneer, his fingers crackled under pressure, snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, but Wen Wuniang stopped him

He said: "Sanlang, are you going to your mother-in-law's place again? Mom still advises you not to listen to your mother-in-law in everything. Er Niang is your sister, and Da Lang is your brother. You can't do anything.

Everything goes against the two of them."

Chen Tingjun broke away from Wen Wuniang's hand, looked at her sideways, and said coldly: "My mother-in-law can give me candy, what can you give me? You can't give me anything. Not a penny in the east room belongs to you.

Those are all daddy's. If daddy doesn't give them to you, you can't take them either. Huh, you are useless and you only deserve to be beaten by daddy."

Wen Wuniang felt sour in her heart and felt even more ashamed. She didn't want her child to ridicule her mother like this, but she was already weak in temperament, and Chen Tingjun's temperament was very similar to her father's, so Wen Wuniang was a little afraid of him, so she didn't dare to go back.

Answer the call.

Chen Tingjun glanced at Wen Wuniang, snorted in his heart, and ignored her. He walked out of the east room and entered the yard. When he was about to go to the main room, he suddenly thought and opened the lid of the big water tank.

, looking at the three big fish inside, I was a little confused, but I was not very smart, so I was afraid of spending too much time thinking about it, so I closed the lid, walked around the yard, walked to the door of the main house, opened the curtain, and walked straight away.

Got in.

Luo Sanniang was sitting in the main room. She took out a gold-threaded plum blossom and threw it to Chen Tingjun. She and Chen Tingjun didn't say much and asked, "How is it?"

Chen Tingjun stuffed the gold-threaded plum into his mouth and said: "Second sister went out to fish this morning. I followed her out and didn't see anything strange. But she came back after just over an hour. I think it can take an hour.

After catching some fish, he followed her back. After she returned to the West House, she didn't know what she said to her eldest brother. The two of them went out to the yard and opened the water tank to take a look. Then they entered the West House again and had about half a cup of tea.

At that moment, the second sister turned her back to me and fished out the fish from the water tank, put it into the water jar, put it in her backpack and left."

After hearing this, Luo Sanniang smiled and said: "Tingjun, what's so strange about this? I heard that Tingyao was caught by the wind and cold last night. Today, Chen Xingzu went to plow the fields on his behalf, and your second sister went to do it on his father's behalf."

Fishing is a perfectly normal thing. She must be selling fish when she goes out with a water jar on her back. If it is such an unimportant thing, there is no need to talk about it in the future."

Chen Tingjun said: "Mother-in-law, this is not the strange thing. After the second sister went out, I went to see the water tank. There was a big carp and two big silver carp in the water tank. If the second sister went to sell the fish, why didn't she bring them with her? These three big fish?”

Luo Sanniang asked curiously: "Oh? Is there such a thing? I went to sell fish but didn't bring any fish. What kind of medicine did Er Niang sell in the gourd? Ting Jun, please tell your mother-in-law again. Er Niang has been here these days. Is there any strange behavior?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Tingjun said: "There is no strange behavior at all, but she often runs to the Cowherd's house. I have also seen her bringing wild vegetables to his house."

Luo Sanniang thought for a while and didn't understand, so she threw another gold-threaded plum to Chen Tingjun, shook her head and said: "Okay, Tingjun, you go back to the east room first. If anything happens, my mother-in-law will take care of it." I asked you to do it."

Chen Tingjun knew that she wanted to discuss with Weng Weng before making any further decisions, so he said nothing more and happily took the gold-threaded plum blossom. After agreeing happily, he exited the main room.

Luo Sanniang entered the inner hall. She was quite puzzled. She glanced at Chen David and said, "David, could it be that Ting Jun misunderstood that Er Niang pretended to be eating and sent it to Xingzu in the field?"

Chen David sneered: "Maybe, or maybe not. That's not what I care about. Didn't you hear Tingjun say that she often runs to the Cowherd's house?"

Luo Sanniang also snorted coldly and said: "Huh, so what, the Cowherd is her savior, so it's normal to go and see her more often."

Chen Dawei said thoughtfully: "This is what I care about. According to common sense, you are right. But the Cowherd's house is at the west end of the village, and my old Chen family's old house is also at the west end of the village. Although I still want to I don’t know what is the connection between the two, but there is always a reason why Er Niang always runs there. It is definitely not as simple as repaying her lifesaver. If she wants to repay her, she can just give her more things on weekdays. Why run every day? go?"

However, Luo Sanniang felt that Chen David was thinking too much, so she shook her head and said, "I think you are overthinking it. Er Niang is just a country girl. What connection can there be between visiting Cowherd and the old house at home?"

Chen Dawei snorted and said: "I am a fisherman. I have heard a saying since I was a child, be careful and sail the boat for ten thousand years. You should go and tell Ting Jun that when Er Niang comes back, let him go to the old house to see it. It would be best if nothing happens."

At this time, Chen Bing finally reached the county seat. Standing at the door of Wujia foot shop, she bent over, panting and patting her backpack hard, and said bitterly in her heart: "I will sell you later." I want to watch you being put into the pot, huh, it’s best to watch you being eaten, that way I can relieve the hatred in my heart.”

Chen Bing carried this fish all the way, and only Chen Bing himself knew the hardships best. The red-tailed whitewater fish has an extremely ferocious temperament and cannot stand any restraint. It kept hitting the inner wall of the water tank, trying to Breaking through this shackles was a hardship for Chen Bing who was carrying it. She was already thin, and the weight of the water jug ​​plus the water was already heavy, and the impact of the red-tailed whitewater fish was even more of a heavy burden. . And every impact made her stand unsteady, and she almost fell to the ground several times. Passers-by said it was because of her inconvenient legs and feet, and they all cast strange and sympathetic looks, making her embarrassed along the way. .

Chen Bing took a breath and shouted: "Is shopkeeper Wu here?"

Shopkeeper Wu walked out of the store, glanced at Chen Bing, thought for a while, and said, "Oh, are you Chen Tingyao's sister Chen Erniang?"

Chen Bing nodded. Shopkeeper Wu looked around and asked, "Er Niang, why didn't the young lady who came with you that day not come with you today?"

Chen Bing was startled, feeling something indescribable, and said, "Oh, she has something to do at home, so she can't come here. Today, my brother and I came together. My brother went to the grocery store in the city to buy some.

groceries, so he asked me to deliver fish."
