Chapter 257: Sending fish to a friend, encountering gossipmongers’ provocation
Zhou Huaying smiled and said, "That's because you were too tired yesterday!"
"Mom, thank you for your hard work, making breakfast and taking the kids to school."
"This is nothing! It's much easier than farming, raising pigs and chickens back home!"
Liu Junhui looked at her mother-in-law. She was such a hardworking and kind person.
From now on, I won’t have to take on too much responsibility for picking up and dropping off the children or doing housework, and I can go out and earn money with all my strength.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
At this time, the fish in the fish box started to make a lot of noise. One of the fish jumped out and jumped around on the floor.
Zhou Huaying hurried over and grabbed the fish with both hands and put it back into the fish box.
He casually said, "The fish box is too full. The fish are crowded together. They won't live long! Look, look, some of the fish are dying."
Liu Junhui said, "Those fish were given to me by Lin Alian. She put them in a net bag, but we forgot to put them in the fish box on the way."
"Oh, then eat these fish first. But the other fish won't live long if they're crowded like this."
Liu Junhui looked at the full box of fish and thought that it had only been a few days since Yonggang went to fight the flood. He said it would take him a month or so to come back. If all the fish in the box died, he would have nothing to eat.
After thinking for a while, she said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, how about giving a few fish to Tao Xingyue and Zhang Junying?"
Zhou Huaying's face lit up, "What a great idea! They both helped our family a lot, and we haven't even expressed our gratitude yet!"
Zhou Huaying was referring to the great help provided by Tao Xingyue and Zhang Junying when the incident in the vegetable field occurred.
Liu Junhui brought two net bags from the kitchen and together with her mother-in-law, put three fish in each net bag, all of which were about the same size.
When sending gifts to two friends at the same time, make sure the amount of gifts is the same.
Liu Junhui went downstairs excitedly carrying two net bags of fish.
I had a good night's sleep and felt a little sore in my back when I woke up. After this activity, the pain disappeared and I felt much more energetic.
Young people have strong qi and blood, good body functions and recover quickly.
Liu Junhui was walking on the road in the family compound with two net bags full of fish in her hands. The fish were struggling constantly in the net bags, which naturally attracted the attention of the family members.
Zhang Jianhua, who was walking her dog, and her two fortune-telling friends, Lu Yuanlian and Feng Haiying, also saw it, and naturally there was another round of speculation and discussion.
These three people are not only talkative but also thick-skinned. They regard Liu Junhui as a thorn in their side behind her back, but pretend to be magnanimous in front of her and take the initiative to talk to Liu Junhui.
"Hey, Liu Junhui, where did you get so many fish?" Lu Yuanlian asked first.
Liu Junhui smiled and said, "I caught it in the sea."
"Haha, you, a landlubber, dare to go fishing in the sea? Did you buy it on the black market?" Zhang Jianhua said sarcastically.
"Let me see, maybe one of your lovers gave it to you." Feng Haiying said with a smile.
Liu Junhui glared at Feng Haiying fiercely with his sharp eyes.
"Don't make blind guesses. Liu Junhui might have really caught the fish herself." Lu Yuanlian remembered her husband's instructions to pretend to say good things about Liu Junhui. Her husband was the team leader and was in charge of Lu Yuanlian's husband.
"I would never believe that she can fish, even if you kill me!" Zhang Jianhua's mouth turned up like a Type 99 light machine gun.
The three of them were talking excitedly with dark thoughts in their minds when Liu Junhui had already walked ahead of them.
Lv Yuanlian shouted from behind, "Liu Junhui, think of us when you go fishing next time."
Liu Junhui waved back without even turning around, "Okay, I'm just afraid you don't have time for this when you're gossiping all day!"
Lu Yuanlian was speechless for a moment and wanted to say something, but Liu Junhui turned around on the road with the fish in her hand and disappeared.
Liu Junhui went to Tao Xingyue's house first. As soon as she arrived at the door of her apartment building, she saw Tao Xingyue going downstairs to take out the garbage.
"Sister-in-law, I brought you some fish."
Tao Xingyue was delighted. "Oh my! Such a good fish! Where did you buy it from?"
"I didn't buy it. I fished it myself from the sea." Liu Junhui was ready to tell the truth to Tao Xingyue.
"Ah? You caught this fish yourself in the sea?" Tao Xingyue's eyes widened in disbelief. "That must have been very dangerous, right?"
Liu Junhui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm and relaxed smile. "Sister-in-law, I grew up by the Grand Canal, so I'm used to fishing."
Tao Xingyue nodded, a hint of envy in her eyes, "Junhui, you are really amazing. I can't even swim."
Liu Junhui's heart moved, and she encouraged him, "Sister-in-law, you can fish even if you can't swim. As long as you have the desire to fish, I can teach you when I have the chance."
At this time, Tao Xingyue had already taken a net bag filled with fish from Liu Junhui. She looked at the big yellow croaker jumping around in the net bag and felt a little eager to try it.
It would be great if I could catch a fish too.
But she was still a little scared, "But I'm afraid of falling into the water..."
Liu Junhui comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. If you really go fishing with me one day, I will always be with you. Even if you fall into the water, I can rescue you."
When Tao Xingyue thought about tasting the freshest seafood, she thought that if she went fishing with Liu Junhui, wouldn’t she be able to eat fish every day?
Tao Xingyue's ambition is limited to this point at the moment. She only thinks about eating fish every day and has no idea of making money by fishing.
"Okay, Junhui, I wish I were as good as you." Tao Xingyue was moved by Liu Junhui's words, but she hadn't made up her mind yet. "Okay, I'll discuss it with my husband later!"
"Okay, sister-in-law, there's no rush. Sister-in-law, go ahead and do your work. I'll go get some fish for Sister Zhang."
"Well, go ahead!"
Liu Junhui turned around and walked out of the house, went downstairs, and walked towards the building where Zhang Junying lived.
Tao Xingyue took a look at the fish in Liu Junhui's net bag, and then looked at the fish in her own net bag. They were almost exactly the same, and the fish in her own net bag seemed to be bigger. She went upstairs contentedly.
Liu Junhui arrived at the door of Zhang Junying's house and knocked on it gently a few times.
"Who is it?"
As the voice sounded, Zhang Junying came over to open the door. Seeing that it was Liu Junhui, his face immediately lit up, "It's Junhui, please come in!"
"Sister-in-law, I won't go in. I'll bring you some fish."
As he spoke, Liu Junhui handed the net bag containing three fish to Zhang Junying.
Zhang Junying quickly took the net bag and said with a smile, "Oh, you are too polite. Just come, why bring anything?"
Liu Junhui smiled and said, "I caught this from the sea yesterday. It's very fresh. Let me give you a taste."
Zhang Junying said gratefully, "Thank you, Junhui, for always thinking of us like this."
Liu Junhui waved her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be polite to me. We are all family members from the same courtyard, and we have such a good relationship."
