After the meal finished cooking, the family of four ate the meal happily.
The children were very loud and immediately sleepy.
Liu Mengli put the sleepy children to sleep.
After the child fell into a deep sleep, then he said goodbye to Jiang Zhou, Liu took the cloth and went to Auntie Zhang's house.
Jiang Zhou knew all about Auntie Zhang.
Auntie Zhang's house was the place Liu mengli lived in when he was a student in the village.
Auntie Zhang had a daughter who was the same age as Liu Mengli.
Now he teaches at a school in the village.
it can be considered to rely on wages from state employees.
Last year, it was heard that it had bought a sewing machine, which also caused a sensation among unmarried girls in Liqi Village.
For the first three days, almost everyone was waiting in line to see the sewing machine.
The iron was black, with a golden decoration, as the needle swung up and down.
it makes people feel very envious.
Especially in that year the demands of marriage were three items that revolved and one item that rang.
The clock, the sewing machine, the bicycle, and one item were ringing, it was the radio.
It is a luxury of dreams of the village people of Liqi Village.
The daughter of Auntie Zhang's family bought a sewing machine and heard that her partner from the city gave her money to buy the sewing machine.
It looks like a family that earns millions of dollars
Knotty.
News spread very quickly.
Jiang Zhou who did not really understand the women.
He asked Liu Mengli to be careful.
Afterwards, escort Liu Mengli to depart from the house.
The kids are sleeping at home.
He also abandoned his intention to go out to catch eels.
Suddenly something happened that surpassed Jiang Zhou's expectations.
It was about three in the afternoon.
there was a noise outside the door.
The boisterous footsteps.
Jiang Zhou regained his senses, he found many people had arrived at the entrance of his house.
The one who led was Dongzi
Behind Dongzi were some children around eight or nine years old.
All of them carried bags or baskets in their hands.
Seeing Jiang Zhou there, simultaneously all the children shouted, “brother Jiang!”
Jiang Zhou was silent.
Good boy.
The thing in these children's hands looks like an eel? !
“Dongzi, what are you doing..?”
Dongzi scratched his head, smiled, and walked in with a large group of children.
Suddenly
Jiang Zhou was surprised to see a new child
With snot hanging from his nose, he looked at himself timidly.
He held a cloth bag in his hand, and water dripped down.
Jiang Zhou looked at him.
Gosh darn.
It turned out to be an eel that weighed about half a kilogram!
"Sister Jiang! Didn't you say you wanted an eel yesterday?! These are my brothers! I told him to help you catch the eel, and they're all willing to catch it! look, today I brought it all!"
Dongzi laughing.
Jiang Zhou sighed.
They were all still very small and made Jiang zhou feel guilty.
These kids can make their own money and this is quite proud.
“Alright, since all of you have come here, I will receive all these eels.”
Jiang Zhou was not joking.
He took the group of children towards the big tank and directed the children to line up.
He said: "Come one by one, I'll weigh it! Half a kilogram for Rp.1,200 ! "
Hearing that Jiang Zhou was really going to give them money.
The kids are so happy.
Jiangzhou started it from Dongzi.
But this time, it seemed like these children were out to catch him in the morning, and the burden on their hands was clearly much heavier than yesterday.
"Dongzi, 3 kilograms, Ergoudan, 2.6 kilograms and 2.4 kilograms burrow..."
There are eight children in total.
It turned out that the total catch was 17.5 kilograms of eel!
The water tank became very full and it was pitch-black.
Jiangzhou.
These children are it possible to catch all the eels out of their farmland? !
"Sister Jiang! many no?!"
Dongzi looked very excited.
Despite that.
Jiang Zhou became a dilemma.
These eels are so many.
He just doesn't have that much money right now.
Jiang Zhou decided to explain the matter to the children.
After giving an explanation.
Jiang Zhou thought of a good way
He'll pay off yesterday's debt first.
Then divide the money Rp.1,000 to Rp.2000 for each child.
Lastly there was not a penny left in his pocket.
The child begins to write the debt note seriously
"Sister Jiang is always holding his words. Tomorrow at the same hour, Brother Jiang will still receive the eel and pay off the debt today, How? "
The kids are so innocent.
They trusted jiang zhou very much.
Moreover, each of them had earned money.
Juamlah money is also very large for children who usually get more than half the amount he gives!
A group of children left happily.
Jiang Zhou looked at the vat containing the eel and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
In other words, income from this eel can get a total difference of Rp.29,600
On the way, he picked some wild vegetables and sold them all day around the city, earning only Rp.40,000.
pengahilan Rp.40,000
It sounds like nothing, but in the 1980s, the income was quite large
After all, a worker's monthly salary is only Rp.100,000 to Rp.120,000 only
Jiang Zhou carefully searched the bamboo lid to cover his tank.
These are all money!
Both kids are still sleeping.
Jiang Zhou decided to make some baskets out of bamboo pieces stacked in the courtyard.
Jiangzhou has such capabilities self-taught.
A hereditary skill
In other words in the past other than working in the fields, jiang zhou was a little proficient in other fields.
Not for a living, but for the pleasure of himself.
Now come back to the world
He was a little unfamiliar at first starting to slowly recall everything, his abilities getting better.
Weaving a basket is not difficult.
But it just takes patience.
An hour later, the work of making the most basic basket was completed.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to stand up, he heard hasty footsteps coming from outside the door.
And the sound of children crying.
Jiang Zhou was stunned.
Before he could digest what was happening, he saw that outside his yard, Dongzi was dragged with his ears pulled up to tears.
"Jiang zhou! You are so outrageous. It's none of my business if you're useless, but could you have a bad influence on my son? "
Dongzi's ears turned red from being twisted, and he grinned in pain.
Seeing Jiang Zhou standing in the courtyard, Dongzi began to grind his teeth trying hard to break free.
"Mom! Brother Jiang really did not exert a bad influence on me! This is the money I got myself! "
Dongzi was sad and upset.
He glanced towards Jiangzhou and said guiltily: “Kak, forgive me, my mother did not listen to my explanation clearly.”
Dongzi briefly explained back to what had really happened.
It turned out that after the children left Jiangzhou.
Dongzi was very excited about catching eels and he caught the most eels in the morning, his body filled with mud.
He came home to take a shower.
It just so happened that his mother Zhang Cuimei returned from the fields and prepared to cook.
while picking up his son's clothes.
Unexpectedly, Rp.2,000 money fell from Dongzi's shirt
Rp.2,000 for Liqi villagers is a very large amount.
Zhang Cuimei immediately went to the small earthen jar where he kept the money and counted the money.
As a result, the money did not decrease which meant that Dongzi did not steal.
Zhang Cuimei suddenly became furious.
He immediately dragged Dongzi who was still bathing and scolded him.
The commotion ensued until her husband Zhang Cuimei who was in the fields came home.
The two urged the young Dongzi to answer honestly.
Dongzi explained everything while crying in fear.
Yet...
Jiangzhou's name came from Dongzi's mouth.
Hearing that name, the two of them immediately became angry.
Jiangzhou gave them money for selling eels? !
How come!
That jerk jiang zhou, his own wife and children were already willing to die of hunger, how could he give them money!?
Zhang Cuimei immediately assumed that Jiang Zhou must have brought his children to do the dirty work.
This is dirty money.
Zhang Cuimei immediately pulled Dongzi's ear, came quickly and asked Jiang Zhou to give him an explanation.
"Try you guys think, this sounds pretty preposterous, right? You just can't take care of yourself, and now you're taking someone else's child!"
Zhang Cuimei was furious, he put both his hands on his waist and his voice was extremely loud. Everyone's attention was on him.
Some of the households next to him poked out their heads to look out of the house.
As soon as he saw that it was in front of the house Jiang zhou immediately immediately discussed.
"Look, again that bastard! the whole day was not working, nor did he care about his own fields, it seemed like he was taking the children to do the dirty thing! This bastard must be taught a new lesson will repent!"
"Looks not! Lately, I have seen that he buys things from various houses every day and he weighs quite a lot of meat! Do you think it's possible that this bastard stole money from our villagers? I think it should be reported to the police immediately for arrest and put him in jail."
"Didn't you hear what Auntie Zhang said? He brought his son Dongzi to do the dirty work together! It's so immoral."
A group of rural women started gossiping together.
Everyone came out to see the crowd.
Chen Hongmei who was originally sewing the sole of the shoes in his house rushed out of the house after hearing the commotion.
When he saw that jiang zhou who was his next door neighbor was being angered at his own doorstep, he immediately felt satisfied and happy.
Chen hongmei thought that mustahi with just a shoe cloth could make so much money.
Surely jiang zhou has secretly done something immoral.
How not.
Already raided directly in front of the house, maybe in two days it will go to jail!
He watched the longer the more people surrounded him.
Jiang Zhou did not feel any panic.
Before this matter happened, he had made preparations from the very beginning.
"Aunt Zhang, you don't get angry. Dongzi didn't lie, I actually gave him money."
jiang Zhou said.
As he spoke, he pointed to the water tank in the courtyard, "This is a number of eels gathered today, you see."
Everyone was now standing in the courtyard.
hearing Jiang Zhou's words.
A group of people peered into the water tank.
Hii.
What is said is true!
A huge tank that was pitch-black, weighing at least 15 kilograms!
Zhang Cuimei frowned and looked at Jiang Zhou "Who knows if it is true or not? you and Dongzi are working together, how can you tell the truth?"
" You just had a bad influence on my son, asking him to do dirty things! You're a rotten heart."
Jiang Zhou rubbed his brows.
