Afterwards, Gu Pozi and the others met Mei Chongling again.

After a few people greeted each other for a while, Mei Chongling asked, "I heard from Huan Qing that Chen Zhao has stayed in your house now?"

He still likes Chen Zhao very much, so he is very concerned about Chen Zhao's situation.

Mrs. Gu smiled and replied, "Yes, although the process is a bit tortuous, at least I took the brother and sister over."

"My brother and sister Chen Zhao have a good fortune like you, I don't know how many lifetimes it will bring to you." Mei Chongling sighed.

"No, don't forget that my old woman's life was saved by Zhao'er's child." Mrs. Gu replied.

Speaking of this, both old men laughed.

Gu Qiao quickly inserted it in and said, "Oh, by the way, Uncle Outside, forgot to tell you, I've released the osprey."

"What, Chen Zhao doesn't want it?" Mei Chongling asked.

"No, Chen Zhao wants to raise it too. But the osprey wants to eat fish. Chen Zhao has to study now and has no time to hold the bamboo steak to fish. Moreover, his skills in holding the bamboo steak need to be improved. We thought that the osprey is ruined at home, and seeing that they are pitiful, they simply release the animals so that they can go to the river to catch fish and have enough food." Gu Qiao explained.

"That's true, homework is the most important, and releasing animals is also a good thing." Mei Chongling immediately replied with a smile.

After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and asked Gu Qiao: "By the way, all the fish in the field have been washed away. What are your plans?"

"I..." Speaking of this, Gu Qiao was also very distressed, "You are no longer in Meijia Village, and I can't find the fry anymore. I thought that when I have time in a few days, I would go to the small ditches like before to see if I could catch the fry, but I guess the harvest would not be too big."

Mei Chongling nodded, "The fishing everything I have is in the house. Your uncle has the key. Anyway, the bamboo steak and fishing nets are all for you. But I guess you have no experience and can't catch any fish. In this way, it's still very feasible to raise fish in rice fields. I don't say it's sold, just like last year, it's good to have multiple dishes during festivals, so I have an idea."

"What's the idea?" Gu Qiao was curious.

Mei Chongling looked at Gu Pozi.

Mrs. Gu immediately smiled and said, "It's okay if you say it."

"That's right. I'm working at Wuweilou to meet the fisherman who sent the fish. He delivered fish to Wuweilou every now and then. I also asked specifically that there are fish frys for his family. Two-inch-long fish fry, which costs ten cents and twenty."

"Twenty ten cents? This price is fair." Mrs. Gu nodded immediately.

"Although it's not cheap, it's not expensive. I was thinking, should you buy some fish fry first and put it in the field? The boss spent the energy to dig fish and scatter them, and there was no rice in the air. It would be a pity not to raise fish." Mei Chongling suggested.

"Yes, can we buy fish fry?" Gu Qiao's thinking was instantly broadened.

I didn’t buy fish fry before, because Mei Chongling could provide them with fish fry. Now that Mei Chongling has come to the city, they can buy it.

Ordinary people may not be willing to bear this money. After all, you can buy two and a half pounds of white rice for ten cents, and you can cut one pound of pork for twenty cents. Moreover, not every fish fry you buy can be raised, and there is a certain mortality rate.

But the Gu Qiao family is different. She went to Wuweilou like this and said that she would earn at least a few dozen cents.

"Grandma, I think I can buy it? What do you think?" Gu Qiao looked at Mrs. Gu.

Their family has already raised fish fry and can be raised successfully. And as Mei Chongling said, if you don’t sell this fish, you will be worth it at home.

Fish is white meat, rich in protein. Chen Zhao is studying and I heard that eating fish can make you smarter!

"I bought it too. I just planted water chestnuts in the fish field left by Uncle Qi two days ago. Now I will raise fish again. During the Chinese New Year, there must be several fish as big as a palm." Mei Huanqing said with a smile.

"Okay, that's it, my in-laws, I want a hundred kids. Please tell me about the fisherman."

"I want a hundred tails, too." Mei Huanqing preached.

"Then there are two hundred tails in total. The next time the fishermen will come, they will come twenty-three, and the next time the twenty-seven. Then you will come to get the fish fry that day." Mei Chongling responded.

"I'll do it then. I'll send it to you after that." Mei Huanqing preached to Mrs. Gu.

"Finish! Then it's hard work, Qiao'er, her uncle!"

After making up for this matter, Gu Pozi and the others left.

After all, Mei Chongling is still helping with the chefs in the Lu family. It is the work time now, so it will not take too long to delay it.

The three of them told him out of Ruling City.

After saying goodbye to Mei Huanqing, Gu Qiao and the others returned to the village.

When passing by the door of the village house, Gu Qiao found that the villagers looked at them with a strange look.

Gu Qiao and Mrs. Gu greeted them as usual, and everyone's attitude towards them was also a bit strange.

When he got home, Gu Qiao looked at Mrs. Gu and said, "Grandma, it's probably going to be the day after tomorrow."

"I hope it's tomorrow, otherwise your mother will not be able to sleep."

Thinking of the black green under Mei's eyes getting up this morning, Gu Qiao sighed, "Get out early, good soon."

Sure enough, that night, Mei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

The next afternoon, the wind was sunny and it was no different from usual.

After dinner, the sky was filled with clouds and the summer breeze was simmering, which was particularly refreshing.

As soon as Gu Qiao lit the moxa velvet, he heard Liu rushing into the yard with a hurry to shout "old sister-in-law".

"What's wrong? This is?" Mrs. Gu asked her.

When Gu Qiao heard the sound, she walked out of the kitchen and saw Liu holding Gu Pozi out of breath, and then said to her: "It's amazing, everyone in the village is telling you that your family has eaten the colorful silver fish caught from the Wanlong Pond!"

"What!" Mrs. Gu was extremely shocked, while Mei's face turned pale.

"This is true, it's all spread! I heard that this incident has even reached the clan elders! Our two families live at the end of the village and didn't hear this news. What do you think is this? Your family is-"

"Grandma, what did you say? I went to the clan elder? Who is slandering our family? What kind of intentions do you have?" Gu Qiao shouted immediately.

She not only interrupted Liu's words, but also answered Liu's unfinished words.

Liu's face turned red and he immediately clenched Gu's arm, "Anyway, my sister-in-law, this incident has caused a huge wave in the village. I'll tell you the news quickly, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it."

"Thank you brother and sister, I understand. I'll go find the clan elder immediately." Mrs. Gu said as she walked forward and was about to go to the village.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the gate of the yard, she saw Gu Jing and the villagers hurried to her house on the ridge of the field.

"Why did this come!" Liu was so scared that his face was pale and he immediately muttered, "It's over."

"Is this cursing our family?" Gu Qiao was unhappy.

"No, am I worried?"

Gu Qiao ignored her and turned to the person coming towards her house, secretly remembering this wave of people in her heart.
