Breeding Mermaid Cubs

Wang Qingye was upset, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard, and then he remembered what happened at his stall.

It was indeed Zhang Yan'er who went to open the door.

"Did you find my little brother? Are you all right?"

Before Wang Qingye could speak, Zhang Yan'er asked first.

"It's okay, the person has been found. I was preparing to go to the city. I didn't expect you to come back first. How is the stall, no one is giving you trouble, right?"

Zhang Yan'er smiled happily and said: "Brother Wang's stall's business is also getting better, and everything is sold out in half an hour after you left. If business can be as easy as that of Brother Wang's stall, that would be great."

After saying that, she hurriedly took out the money bag from the basket: "All the money is here, brother Wang."

Wang Qingye accepted: "Today I really trouble you, but tomorrow I will invite you to have a drink with Uncle Wu."

Zhang Yan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Wang is really too polite."

"It's not polite, it should be." Wang Qingye said: "You just talk to Uncle Wu, and the matter is settled like this."

At night, with the sound of rain, Wang Qingye lay on the bed and didn't sleep much all night. Before dawn the next day, he packed up his things and took Mianshu to the beach.

The waves beat against the rocks, and the smell of the sea became stronger the closer you got to the beach.

The place where the sea and the sky met was white, and it was just before dawn. He stood barefoot on the beach, looking at the fish cubs that had put half of their bodies in the water, just like the day they saw him.

In a few months, the little fish cubs have grown up. In the final analysis, it is the fish that I have raised for several months. I am reluctant to release the fish suddenly, but even if I am reluctant, I can’t keep the fish on the shore all the time. In the end, it is better to be spacious and happy in the sea.

The two didn't speak for a long time, but Wang Qingye finally said: "Go quickly, although this coast is remote, it is inevitable that people will come to catch the sea, and now it is early, and others can't see clearly."

Mian Shu shook his tail, which was immersed in the sea, and a huge wave slapped him on the rocks. He felt choked up, and turned his back to Wang Qingye with his head down. They haven't said anything since they went back yesterday. The son opened his mouth to let him go, he should have known that he wished to go by himself.

Before answering Wang Qingye's words, he lowered his head and plunged into the sea.

Wang Qingye saw the cub disappear in a flash, and the sea calmed down immediately. He ran over quickly, and he didn't even see a dark shadow in the sea.

"It's so heartless. After all, I have been raising it for so long without being hungry or cold, and I ran away without even saying a word of thanks."

He sighed, reckoning that the kid wanted to run away a long time ago, he pretended to be obedient and coaxed him before, but now that he has reached the shore, he naturally hastened to leave.

Paused for a while, the shore was really quiet, he felt angry and unhappy, got up angrily and walked back.

"Wang Qingye!"

Just a few steps away, someone behind him stopped him.

He turned his head, and at some point, the head of the little fish popped out again. After jumping into the sea a few times, its hair turned silvery white again.

"Are you really willing to let me go?"

Wang Qingye didn't answer, a lot of his words were just angry words, how could he really care about a little fish cub.

In terms of selfishness, although Mianshu is troublesome, it is precisely because it is too troublesome that people will be deeply remembered and have feelings for him. He also thought about keeping Mianshu, but he just eats more, and he is not so poor that he can feed a fish. Sorry.

But when he went back yesterday, he accidentally saw a patch of red spots and dry marks on Mianshu's back, and he immediately felt relieved.It is easy for a child to rely on someone who makes him feel safe, and it is difficult to let go of him. In the end, he can only be upset.

Wang Qingye evoked a smile, but didn't smile, and waved at Mianshu: "Go. I'm going back to do business."

Mian Shu's eyes turned red, and she shouted at the back of the slowly walking away on the beach: "Even so, I will still come back to find you!"

...........

When Wang Qingye opened his eyes, it was already afternoon, and the room was quieter than usual, and he had been asleep for several hours.

I took off my shoes and got out of bed, and I saw the eye-catching bathtub by the window. It was originally said to be carried out a few days ago, so as to save space in the back room, but after looking around, there seems to be no place to Put it, or put it by the window is the most suitable.

Unknowingly, he walked over, and suddenly felt that the comfort was still there. When the sun was shining, he slumped on the recliner with his tail hanging, and at night when the cicadas and frogs were singing, he played in the bathtub, and when he saw him, he opened his eyes. The mouth is endlessly noisy...but he didn't know that the little fish cub had really gone back until he saw the people chattering on the deck chair and there was only a pool of calm water in the bathtub. I went there for a few days, and I don't know if the boy has returned to the deep sea.

He poured a cup of tea and drank it. The cold tea entered his stomach, and he became more energetic.

Seeing that it was still early outside, he was going to take a trip to the street. A while ago, Zhang Yan'er helped him look after the stall, and said that he would treat the father and daughter to a meal, but he didn't do it, so it was time to make up for it.

These days, setting up a stall is three days drying the net and two days fishing. There are not many things to prepare, and the number of times to go out to the stall is not many. Tomorrow, it is time to pick up and do a good job. I originally planned to buy a fishing boat. I want to buy a fishing boat even more urgently, but according to the way of doing business like this, I don’t know how to buy it until the year of the monkey.

He has seafood at home, and there is nothing to entertain people, so he decided to go to the meat market, buy two catties of pork and fry it again, and then ask for a few leaves of pork liver and kidneys to be fried together, and buy a few small green vegetables to cook a soup, and then A small table can be filled with cold clams.

Wang Qingye went out with the meat and went to buy wine on the street. A few days ago, he closed the stall and went to this wonderful wine shop. The rice wine was very fragrant, and the mellow rice wine smell could be smelled across the street.

"If you say you can't do it, you can't do it. If you insist on stalking, you will never come to my shop to get tofu in the future."

"Shopkeeper Xu, my mother is really sick. You see that I usually sell tofu from the shop with a good reputation. I will definitely pay back the money I borrowed."

The middle-aged man pushed him impatiently: "Go, go, go to the pawn shop to borrow money. My business is not easy to do, so how can I lend you money?"

Wang Qingye looked for the noise and saw that there were two people arguing on the corridor next to the wine house, and one of them was actually Zhou Zhu, so he quickly put down the wine and helped him up.

"Wang Langjun? Why are you here?"

"I'll come over for some drinks."

The two found a street bench together and sat down. Seeing Zhou Zhu's frowning face, Wang Qingye couldn't help asking, "What's the matter today? The tofu shop doesn't sell tofu anymore?"

"No." Zhou Zhu showed embarrassment, and sighed: "My mother's illness worsened a few days ago. She bought medicine to see a doctor, and had to buy some supplements to support her. It's hard to go back and forth. I thought it would be a tofu shop. After working for more than a year, I wanted to borrow some money from the shopkeeper, but I didn’t expect the shopkeeper’s money to be tight.”

"What happened to Auntie?"

Zhou Zhu smiled wryly and said: "Old man is sick, since my father left, my mother has been sad and seriously ill every day, and has been dragging her injuries ever since."

After talking to Wang Qingye for a while, he realized that Zhou Zhu was originally a scholar who was planning to take the imperial examinations, but later his family changed, his father passed away, his mother was sick, and he was the only son in the family, so he had to give up his studies to support the family.

No wonder he felt that Zhou Zhu was more modest and courteous than ordinary peddlers in words and deeds, and he could read and settle accounts, so he didn't know that there was such a miserable life.

"Auntie's illness is important, you take these and use them first, and then tell me if there is not enough."

Zhou Zhu looked at the money that Wang Qingye stuffed over, and quickly waved his hands: "How can this be done! Wang Langjun's life is also difficult."

Wang Qingye laughed: "What's the problem with me, one person is full and the whole family is not hungry."

"Why are you alone, don't you have a little brother?"

"He, the family in Chuanshu took him back to recuperate." Wang Qingye lied indiscriminately.

"It turns out that Wang Langjun is from Sichuan and Shu."

"Let's not talk about that, you take the money, and it's the right thing to cure my aunt's illness as soon as possible!"

Holding the silver, Zhou Zhu's palms felt hot. The relatives and friends at home were not as good as a friend from out of town who he knew not long ago: "Well, then I will keep it for now. When I have the silver, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

"It's okay." Wang Qingye paused and smiled again: "I remember you asked me if I was short of manpower."

Zhou Zhu's eyes flashed: "Your Majesty wants to help?"

Wang Qingye nodded: "I'm too busy to do it alone. If you are willing to come, how about I give you three taels of silver a month?"

"Yes, of course I do!"

Not to mention the tiredness of running all over the street with tofu, and earning two taels of silver in January, he had long wanted to find a reliable place to work as a stable job. He originally wanted to work as a handyman in a wealthy family, but Needing to leave home to do business, my mother had no choice but to give up, and wanted to work as a waiter in a restaurant, but it was difficult to find a suitable one without introduction.

The business of Wang Qingye's stall is good, mainly because of his good character. It is better to find such an owner than anything else.

Wang Qingye felt relieved when he saw that people were genuinely happy: "Then make it so, and go to my stall on time tomorrow, no problem, right?"

"no problem!"

After parting with Zhou Zhu, it was getting late, and people insisted on issuing him an IOU, which was a lot of trouble.

When he returned with his things, he started cooking. After the rice was cooked, he went to Zhang's house to inform him. Hearing that there was wine to drink, Zhang Wu didn't refuse much.

In the cool breeze at night, Wang Qingye took the small table to the yard to eat, it was spacious and cool.

Zhang Wu looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table, and said again and again: "It's just a meal for one meal, and you make it so rich, how embarrassing we are."

Wang Qingye opened the wine and greeted the father and daughter to sit down: "It's just some home-cooked food, hurry up, use your chopsticks."

Zhang Wudao: "I see that you haven't done much business on the street these days, but what happened?"

"It's nothing, I sent my cousin back a few days ago, and I've been busy with it for a while."

Zhang Yan'er asked: "But little brother is not feeling well?"

"No, the family missed him a little bit, so they took him back. It's inconvenient to follow me here all the time."

"That's the reason." Zhang Wu took a sip of his wine and looked around the room: "It's just that I live alone again, so I'm afraid I'm not used to it for a while."

Wang Qingye filled Zhang Wuman's wine, smiled, and drank his glass of wine in one gulp.
